Sex - or an increase in intimacy- was cited as a critical reason to take a weekend break by 38% of males and females questioned. Of which 44% of the 25/34-year age group strongly agreed a weekend away would improve the intimacy of their relationship with their partner. Psychologist and "sex expert" Donna Dawson, says: "Work, in particular, appears to be stressing us out, as well as affecting our close relationships. A complete change of scenery appears to be the remedy for 'revving up' our jaded or non-existent sex lives, by injecting novelty, adventure and much-needed pri

22 Apr 2008 05:01 Africa/Lagos More Americans are Sleeping Thanks to Science ASTHMA & ALLERGY FRIENDLY CERTIFICATION PROGRAM CONTINUES TO EXPAND IN THE BEDROOM WASHINGTON, April 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- More people than ever before are buying bedding products that meet established scientific standards -- especially people with asthma and allergies -- in search of a better night's sleep. Many bedding items such as pillows, comforters and mattress pads contain unwanted chemical ingredients and finishes from manufacturing or packaging, and most bedding also accumulates household allergens during everyday use. For people with asthma and allergies, it can be difficult to sleep through the night without having symptoms triggered by these allergens and irritants. In the United States alone, there are an estimated 20 million people with asthma and 50 million with allergies. Many triggers such as chemicals and household allergens can aggravate both diseases.

Apr 2008 10:09 Africa/Lagos Survey Shows How Personal Hygiene Regimens Impact the Environment SKILLMAN, N.J., April 1 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a survey commissioned by o.b.(R) tampons, women are generating about twice as much waste as men due to the fact that they have double the number of personal products in their medicine cabinet or vanity. However, while women and men are equally likely to consider themselves environmentally conscious, women are more likely than men to say they are willing to make small changes to their daily lifestyle if they knew it would positively impact the environment. o.b.(R) tampons are one way women can make a small, but mighty change in their daily habits to help reduce waste and save space in their medicine cabinet or vanity without giving up comfort and protection. Because o.b.(R) tampons do not have an applicator, they generate 58 percent less waste than any applicator tampon. This means that using o.b. tampons saves one pound of waste per y

5 Feb 2008 01:04 Africa/Lagos AIDS Action Calls President's FY 2009 Budget Request Shameful WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In President Bush's last State of the Union Address, he referred to the administration's "unfinished business." One week later, it is clear from the President's FY 2009 Budget Request that the unfinished business of this administration includes a complete failure to address the health and well being of people and communities affected by and vulnerable to HIV/AIDS in the U.S. The President's budget for domestic HIV/AIDS programs is inadequate to meet the growing needs of the epidemic here. It is, in short, utterly shameful. The President's budget reflects the absence of a National AIDS Strategy that is focused on ending the epidemic and caring for all those affected. Instead, the President's budget targets for dismissal of the needs of our most stigmatized and marginalized people. AIDS Action Council is sho
