وجّه عدد كبير من محبي الفنانة اللبنانية نوال الزغبي انتقاداُ لاذعاً لها خلال ظهورها الأخير في حفل توزيع جوائز "الموريكس دور"، حيث وصفوه بأنه غير موفق، بعد ظهور الفرق بين لون وجهها المختلف تمامًا عن لون جسمها بسبب وضعها لكميات كبيرة من مستحضرات التجميل، حسبما نشر موقع "بوابة فيتو". وأضاف محبو الزغبي أنها كان من المفترض عليها الظهور على طبيعتها دون المبالغة في وضع الميك أب الخاص بها حتى لا تضع نفسها في هذا الموقف المحرج والذي لاحظه عدد كبير من الحضور. ومن الجدير بالذكر أن نوال الزغبي بدت ملكة بثوبها الأسود من تصميم زهير مراد الذي خطف أنظار الجميع بسبب فخامته، والثوب يليق بهذه المناسبة خاصة أن نوال حصلت على جائزة تكريمية للاستمرارية بالنجاح لأكثر من 20 سنة.

Martin Scorsese unleashed his latest, The Wolf of Wall Street, on unsuspecting audience members Christmas Day. It turned out to be an unusual film with which to commemorate the birth of baby Jesus. Sex, drugs, sex, violence, butt candles, sex, midgets, sex and more sex crammed each frame of Scorsese’s depiction of financial corruption and excess. Critics fawned.

Americans are constantly trying find ways to save money on big-ticket items. Everything from healthcare and higher education to the grocery bill. The spiraling cost of so many essentials has left most of us with noticeably smaller bank accounts and lighter pockets than in the past. Now, there may be a solution to the high cost of living that’s more tangible than hoping and praying that a long-stagnant economy will eventually pull out of its rut. Believe it or not, you could be eligible to get money from the government, even if you are not below the poverty line. Not many people are aware of the many different avenues that exist to secure government money and giveaways. There are actually thousands of government giveaway programs available to United States citizens, and most people don’t even know about them. That’s because most of these programs are funded by Washington but administered through either the states or obscure organizations. And these programs aren’t just for the p

You’re no longer a ‘twenty-something.’ And you may be noticing some changes. Maybe it’s taking longer to recover from workouts. Maybe you feel sluggish. Perhaps you’re looking in the mirror and noticing that fat tends to ’stick’ to your ribs. Male testosterone production typically peaks at 30. After 30, natural testosterone production tends to decline by 1-3% a year. Maintaining an optimal testosterone level is vital for men who want to maintain strong overall health, libido, and well-being. An article from Livestrong.com (which is run by the Lance Armstrong Foundation) states that declining testosterone levels can lead to a subtle yet gradual reduction in muscle density and strength. And there’s a reason: testosterone helps a man’s body turn fat into energy. It’s a simple formula: lower testosterone means less energy. So lower testosterone levels can change a man’s body shape and rob a man of his natural energy. Some men opt for costly testosterone replacement, strange workout supp

Scores of people have had their lives affected by Alzheimer’s disease. This exasperating and ultimately heartbreaking illness can rob loved ones of their ability to think clearly and function independently at sometimes a shockingly young age. Nowadays, doctors are seeing early onset Alzheimer’s symptoms in patients as young as their 50s—and, sometimes, in patients even younger than that. What might be surprising is the idea that the onset of Alzheimer’s may actually be connected to certain lifestyle factors, and knowing what these factors are and how to avoid them might potentially help you or someone you love devise a lifestyle strategy. This strategy could prevent, treat or reverse memory loss or other neurodegenerative disorders. Dr. Russell Blaylock, a renowned former neurosurgeon turned nutritionist, watched both of his parents die from Parkinson’s disease, and he has dedicated his career to understanding these conditions. Dr. Blaylock’s findings are now available in a f

As you’re browsing the aisles of Target, K-Mart, Walmart or other major retailers, have you ever wondered where all those fantastic, odd and oddly useful consumer gadgets come from?  For inventors, whose creative minds imagine the home, office and garage products you see, these big-box stores and home shopping shows are playgrounds of potential.  But, how does one get an idea out of one’s mind?  Indeed, there are many obstacles to uncover and maneuver around when pursuing an invention idea.  Does your product already exist in some small market?  Has someone already patented your idea, but you just weren’t aware of it?  If you share your idea with friends, family or someone else, will they try to take it?  Or the worst… have you taken all the steps to create your new product idea only to find out that someone has beat you to market?    Luckily, inventors are not in it alone; there is help out there.  There are many companies that offer partial inventing services for aspiring inventor

When the economy started to show troubling signs, many decided to skip college and join the workforce earlier.  According to the , more than 60 percent of U.S. workers don't have a bachelor's degree, but if you have an associate’s degree, a postsecondary non-degree award, or a high school diploma, you can still get a high-paying job. The BLS provided a list of 80 high-paying occupations that don't require a college degree. The median annual wages listed include hourly, weekly, annual pay, sales commissions, and production bonuses. Overtime wages are not included in the data. We also included the expected job openings through 2020 and what kind of work experience or on-the-job training are needed for a particular job.

The U.S. Naval base at Pearl Harbour was struck by a surprise Japanese military strike on the 7th December 1941. Last Friday saw the 72nd anniversary of the event and the Blogosphere witnessed yet another example of a Urgent Fail by a brand trying to Newsjack in an inappropriate way. SpaghettiO tweeted the following message: With over 3 thousand retweets the tweet whipped up a storm that lived up to the brand’s strapline “Uh-Oh”. As we’re highlighted before on this blog and in the book if it looks like blatant commercial exploitation don’t enter the conversation. The anniversary of such a significant historical event really doesn’t need a cheer leading spaghetti hoop to remind everyone of its significance. The brand has since apologised and  tweeted the below:

The New York Fed's  Empire State Manufacturing Survey  was a disappointment. The headline index climbed to just 0.98 in December from -2.2 in November. This was far short of the 5.0 expected by economists . Here's some more color from the NY Fed: ...The new orders index inched up, but remained negative at -3.5, while the shipments index rose to 7.7. The unfilled orders index fell to -24.1, and the inventories index declined twenty points to -21.7; both indexes reached their lowest levels since 2009. The prices paid index was little changed at 15.7, and the prices received index climbed to 3.6. Labor market conditions remained weak, with the index for number of employees holding at 0.0 for a second month in a row and the average workweek index dropping six points to -10.8. Indexes for the six-month outlook generally conveyed a fair degree of optimism about future conditions, though to a lesser extent than in the November survey. According to the report, the big

Quickly! One of the last remaining potential solutions to the Europe crisis--albeit a temporary one--is for the  European Central Bank  to aggressively intervene and start buying the sovereign debt of Europe's weaker countries. If this intervention is big enough, it should reduce borrowing costs (interest rates) and thus allow the countries to finance their deficits for a while longer, until a more permanent solution to the Europe mess can be worked out. The big reason the ECB has not aggressively intervened so far is Germany. The Germans are adamantly opposed to ECB intervention, for two reasons: First, politically, an ECB bailout would be a disaster for German politicians. German voters are appalled by the idea that industrious Germans will be bailing out lazy Italians and Greeks, and they would likely vote accordingly. Second, the Germans are terrified that huge ECB intervention will trigger massive inflation that will destroy the value of the Euro. The latter fear

From the German campaigning group Campact , very loosely translated and with our own interpretations added: A moment of danger has arrived for transparency in Europe. Several German states governed by the SPD and the Green party are threatening to reverse their previous opposition to a scandalous tax amnesty agreement with Switzerland, which provides impunity (and numerous escape loopholes) for wealthy criminal tax evaders. We have written about often this  before . If this agreement goes ahead, it will have the political effect of undermining many years of work to build transparency in Europe through the Savings Tax Directive and its forthcoming amendments

The House of Representatives will vote Thursday on the , who appeared on multiple morning shows to sell the deal.  During an appearance on "Morning Joe," Ryan was asked by host Joe Scarborough to respond to criticism from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who said in a statement that the deal would contribute to making it "harder for more Americans to achieve the American Dream." Ryan seemed dumbfounded by this criticism, and when asked to respond, he hesitated. "Uh ... read the deal and get back to me," Ryan said, chuckling. Ryan then argued that it's easier for Rubio and Republicans in the Senate to be against the bill, because they are in the minority party in that chamber. Ryan said that in the House, where he is chairman of the Budget Committee, he is worried about governing. "Look, that's — people are going to do what they need to do. In the minority you don't have the burden of governing, of getting things done," Ryan sai
