Donald Trump has proven throughout the course of his presidential campaign that he is not opposed to making personal attacks on his fellow candidates. Now, many believe that the real estate mogul has crossed the line by offending those who suffer from a chronic medical condition. According to Stat, Trump has gone out of his way in recent weeks to remark on the "sweaty tendencies" of Republican candidate Marco Rubio. The two traded verbal barbs leading up to Super Tuesday, and Trump is pulling out all the stops to protect his comfortable lead in the polls. While Trump may think he's merely being cheeky, his comments have offended an entire community of people who suffer from a condition called hyperhidrosis, characterized by excessive sweating. The controversial businessman h...

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's exact cause of death will never be known. It might have just been a desire for privacy, but when Scalia's family decided not to have an autopsy done on the controversial political figure, they inherently invited countless questions and conspiracy theories. While it might be more entertaining to talk about the Illuminati-esque hunting group retreat he was a part of at the time of his death, it's probably more reasonable to consider a condition he was known to have had: sleep apnea. According to The Washington Post, when Scalia was found dead in his bed on Feb. 13 in the Texas hunting lodge hotel room, everything was in neat order, as those who knew the Justice would expect. Everything, that is, except for the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPA...

Although many lawmakers are constantly trying to introduce legislation that will improve their communities and the general well-being of their constituents, the results often vary. One of the biggest changes a few different states across the nation are considering is to the medical malpractice system currently in place. According to the Portland Press Herald, Maine is one of those states. Lawmakers in the Pine Tree State are considering a proposal that would fundamentally change the way in which medical malpractice claims are handled and ultimately adjudicated. The initiative is part of what's currently a six-state effort by the Georgia-based Patients for Fair Compensation organization. The organization is a nonprofit founded by Richard Jackson, CEO of one of the largest healthcare c...

As the public gets fed up with being flooded with paid ads online, having organic content has never been more important for businesses trying to gain exposure. With Google's impending Penguin update around the corner, Search Engine Land reports that Google has also shown that they believe this to be a vital factor in effective search engine marketing. In a recent interview with Stone Temple Consulting, Google’s Gary Illyes discussed how the search engine giant would handle SEO certification. The bottom line: they won't. They will still offer certification for AdWords, display ads, AdSense, Analytics, Google Apps, and a large number of other platforms. The driving force behind Google's decision is that they no longer want to accept money from webmasters in place of organic search resu...

After a long recovery from the financial crisis, it would seem that first time home buyers, who account for about 32% of people looking for a new house, are finally ready to join the real estate market. According to Fox Business, new residential sales increased 10% from November to December of 2015. Existing home sales in January reached their highest annual rates in six months. Data from LendingTree showed that March, April, and May are the most popular months for requesting mortgages, meaning home sales are expected to increase even more in the months to come. The national average for mortgages from last year balanced out to around $220,499. A survey conducted by TD Bank found that nearly 20% of first time buyers would like to purchase during this coming spring. Two-thirds of...

Even though the housing market has seen great improvement since the financial crisis, some new home builders in the U.S. are conflicted after a recent drop in home starts, according to Equipment World. For the second consecutive month, January saw a decrease in home construction rates of about 3.8% to a seasonally adjusted rate of 1.143 million annually. That's only 1.8% above the January rates of 2015 as shown by data from the Commerce Department. Single-family starts fell 3.9% to a rate of 731,000, which was still up 3.5% from the previous year. Apartment starts, on the other hand, were down 3.8% from a year ago, falling 2.5% in January to 354,000. A reliable measure of the trends in the home building industry are building permits, which also fell in January. Permits fell ...

You would be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't take some sort of regular medication nowadays, and that number continues to grow. While this has created much demand for employees in the pharmaceutical field, the Pharmacy Times reports that the influx of students attending pharmacy schools hoping for job security may actually over-saturate the industry. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the projected drop in employment from 2014 to 2024 could be up to 3%. Vacancy rates for pharmacist positions peaked in the early 2000s at about 8%. Four years later, that figure dropped to 4%. By 2013, vacancy rates in hospitals and health facilities hit an all-time low of 2.1%. Even with the steady drop in job vacancies, enrollment at pharmacy schools continued to rise. Just fr...
