Sexting

“Sexting” is the practice of sending sexually explicit texts, photos, or videos via cell phone. “It’s almost the normal order of operation now." You text back and forth and pretty soon you’re exchanging hot photos...:-)

Why do people do it? Some see it like, “having a naked picture of your significant other on your cellphone is an advertisement that you’re sexually active,” A friend once said after all “you can’t get pregnant from it and you can’t transmit S.T.D.’s.”

Other reasons for sexting include the following:
  • To flirt with someone they hope to be in a relationship with.
  • Because someone has already sent them an explicit photo and they feel pressured to ‘return the favor.’

    Guys as fun as sexting may sound, it  has its consequences. 



Once you send a photo via cell phone, you no longer own it, nor can you control how it might be used—or how it will affect your reputation. 

In some cases
  • Nude photos have been mass-forwarded by the recipient to entertain his friends.
  • Jilted boyfriends have distributed nude photos as a way to get revenge.

The scales tilt up at one end by just 3 micrometers —less than one twentieth the thickness of a human hair. Yet this tiny tilt lets the lantern shine almost 50 percent more brightly than it would if the scales formed an even surface!

PORTRAITS FROM THE PASTIgnaz Semmelweis

IGNAZ SEMMELWEIS may not be a household name, yet his work has benefited most modern families. Born in Buda (now Budapest), Hungary, he received his medical degree at the University of Vienna in 1844. On taking up his post as assistant to a professor at the First Maternity Clinic of Vienna’s General Hospital in 1846, Semmelweis faced an appalling reality —more than 13 percent of the women giving birth there died from a disease called childbed fever. Various theories as to the cause of this disease had been proposed, yet no one had solved the mystery. All attempts to reduce the mortality rate proved futile. Troubled by the spectacle of numerous mothers suffering a slow, agonizing death, Semmelweis determined to find the cause of the disease and prevent it.
