New Divorce Map Denotes How Friendly (or Unpleasant) the Average Separation is in Each U.S. State

Divorce is a sticky subject, and while some couples manage to escape on good terms, a recent study shows that some U.S. states tend to produce messier divorces than others. According to The Enterprise, a color-coded map showing the average divorce amicability for couples in each state was recently unveiled by CompleteCase.com, an online divorce form preparation service. The map uses three different colors that fill in the states, each representing the average level of friendliness shared by couples during a separation. States that are green typically breed "amicable divorces," orange states are "cordial," and the red states are deemed to be "disagreeable" in most cases. In basic terms, the average divorce in a "green" state is comparable to that of celebrities Bruce Willis and Dem...

2 Spas Shut Down for Prostitution

A spa in Franklin, WI, and a spa in Mount Joy, PA, have been closed this week on prostitution charges. The incidents are unrelated but draw attention to those working with home massage kits masquerading as businesses. Franklin's Shuying Ding has been charged with a felony, according to court papers, for disguising prostitution with a spa. The charge comes after several of Ding's neighbors reported unusual traffic at her King Sunshine Spa, which is located near 27th Street and Rawson Avenue. “We never saw any women going in there. It was always middle-aged men,” said Jennie Dingman, who works next door. Those living and working around the spa decided to move forward with complaints to the police after finding ads proclaiming that the spa offered "sexy relaxation." Following thes...

Elementary Schools Throw Christmas Pajamas Party To Help Homeless Kids

In a heartwarming tale out of Trenton, NJ, a group of elementary school students are learning firsthand the importance of giving back to their community. Five years ago, a non-profit called Christine's Hope for Kids partnered with the Trenton Catholic Academy Lower School for the Pajama Day program. Since then, it's become one of the non-profit's most popular programs and spread to other New Jersey elementary schools. To raise money, the kids and their families pay a small fee to be able to wear their pajamas to school. Christine's Hope for Kids then matches the funds the students raise dollar-for-dollar. Those funds are then used to buy pajamas, teddy bears, books, toothbrushes, and other toiletries for local homeless children. "Pajamas are fun clothing for kids, especially when ...

Sign Company Unveils New Illuminated Signs for Trucks to Increase Brand Exposure

Truck drivers may soon be getting more attention from drivers than the normal "arm tug" to ask for a honk of the horn, and it's all thanks to one company's idea to illuminate their signs. According to FleetOwner, sign company CNP Signs and Graphics recently announced a new patent for an illuminated truck sign. The lit-up signs will help truck owners and companies to display their name or logo more prominently during the nighttime, which in turn will increase their brand exposure. "Through this patented innovation, a company's logo can be custom-made and illuminated so that it can be seen around the clock on trucks," CNP said in a statement. "Once a mold is created of a company's logo, backlit signs utilizing LEDs are produced that adhere to both the tractor and the trailer. This p...

Mobile Internet Use Overtakes PC Access In the U.K. And the U.S.

Marketers have been predicting that mobile Internet use will surpass Internet access from laptop and desktop computers for years. And it's finally happened in at least one major country: the U.K. According to research published in Ofcom's yearly Communications Market Report, "Smartphones are now considered the most important way of staying connected by 33% of Brits, with 30% preferring their laptops." Just last year, the majority of Brits (40%) used laptops to browse the Web, while smartphones lagged behind at 22%. Similarly, smartphones are "the most widely owned web-connected device, with a presence in 66% of [British] households compared with a 65% figure for laptops," Engadget reports.

New Study Shows How Important Quality Bedding is to Sleeping Better and Staying Healthy

If you've been lazy about washing and replacing your bedding, it's time to kick that bad habit. A recent study has shown just how much your mattress, sheets, and pillows can affect your quality of life. According to the Daily Mail, the bed specialists at Dreams conducted a scientific study of eight-year-old mattresses to determine how much bacteria a bed can absorb over the course of its lifespan. The results, to say the least, are quite unnerving. Researchers said that every single mattress they studied was riddled with high levels of bacteria, and part of the study was learning why they tend to get so germ-infested over time. "As mattresses tend to get warm during the night, molds, yeasts, and bacteria -- which thrive in humid conditions -- can build up to worrying levels," said...

Texas Health Officials Ask Again To Cut Budgets for Medicaid’s Pediatric Therapy Costs

Texas health officials have filed a motion in the state appeals court to request that the state override a ruling by District Judge Tim Sulak who, this past September, stopped health officials from cutting payments to a pediatric therapy program. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is hoping to have Sulak’s decision overturned and it’s arguing that Sulak “overstepped his bounds,” says the Texas Tribune. GOP Senate leaders have been trying to reduce Medicaid spending in Texas; earlier this year, they ordered the state’s health commission to reduce state funding by $100 million. According to Chron.com, the proposed cuts could result in the loss of $200 million of federal funds as well, since the federal government matches state contributions. The majority of funding cuts ...

Cranes Involved in 82 Fatalities Every Year, How Can Accidents Be Prevented?

In Denver, a 156-foot, 155-ton crane recently collapsed in the River North district, mildly injuring a construction worker. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that there was an average of 82 crane-related deaths between 1997 and 2006. Although no one was killed in the Denver incident, it highlights the danger faced by many construction workers. The construction industry couldn't function without the operation of cranes, from mobile "cherry pickers" to massive industrial cranes. Not only is construction one of the most important trades in North America, it's also one of the most dangerous. And as the most visible piece of equipment at most construction sites, crane failures often receive the most media attention. "Ground conditions, including underground hazards, soil composition,...

Are Young People Reading Less? Conflicting Data, Test Scores Paint Complex Picture

By now, it's a well-worn cliche that young people are too busy playing Minecraft and using Snapchat to read books anymore. At the same time, reports that young students' math and reading test scores have dropped recently are filling many parents with anxiety. According to the Nation's Report Card (officially known as the National Assessment of Educational Progress), average math scores for students in fourth and eight grade declined from 2013 to 2015. While average reading scores for the nation's fourth graders remained unchanged, eighth graders' reading scores also dropped. Not only that, but the achievement gap between poor and wealthy students stayed the same. The results are all the more disappointing because they follow years of rising test scores. Still, Peggy Carr, the head of...
