Hopefully, you. There's a seductive power to purging, particularly since most of us don't eat or exercise as we should. The lure of easy fixes helps explain why interest is surging in detoxing and deep cleansing. More than 40% of people searching online for spa services are hunting for something to clean out the pipes, according to SpaFinder, a consumer resource for spa information; that's almost 50% more than in 2007. Most spas now offer some type of detox, with services ranging from colonics--water-injection enemas that literally flush out your system--to Calgon-take...
...open his book and appreciate the “omnipresence and omnipotent powers of mathematics.” Its focus is the impressive notion that “the same global, coherent mathematics” can be used by a wide variety of scientists, engineers, economists, and doctors to explain such seemingly divergent topics as factory efficiency and the structure of the universe. Livio attempts to account for these seemingly unrelated applications of math by creating an historical narrative about how mathematicians throughout time have interpreted the “underlying mathematical facility” that appears to govern man?...

...Israel halted its advance on the edges of Gaza City, calling a cease-fire on Jan. 18, and Hamas' guerrillas - if indeed they were waiting in ambush - went unchallenged. Still, Israeli war strategists are at a loss to explain why Hamas failed to use the antiaircraft missiles that Israeli intelligence was sure that Iran had provided. "It's an enigma," one IDF officer says. "The air over Gaza was thick with drones, helicopters and F-16s, and Hamas didn't fire a single missile at them." Two possible explanations: either Israeli intelligence was wrong and Hamas simply didn't have...
