This Is the Oldest Age You Can Possibly Live To (According to Science)
Human life expectancies have gone up over the years. But, according to new research, our average maximum age ceiling hit a plateau decades ago.
It’s no secret that humans have gotten really good at living longer. We know to eat right, to exercise, to take our vitamins, and to get our nightly eight hours. (And that doesn’t even account for the striding advancements modern medicine has made.) But no matter how smart way go about our quest for immortality, there’s only so far we can go.

Pan grilled Chicken with Mozzarella stuffed Bread
Sometimes, it is tough to decide your menu for the evening, especially when the guests expected include kids.
And this time around, we had friends over from Dubai with three lovely children all in the same age group as my own. So it was an evening to look forward to for the kids too.
But there I was in a dilemma on what to put up on the gourmet list for the kids! Knowing how fussy my kids can get where non familiar food items are concerned, this day I had jitters having to face three little critics, Indians by birth, who had lived in the Gulf all their lives and would, thus, have mixed up fusion palate.

Parts of Midwest US colder than Antarctica during deep freeze
The deadly deep freeze enveloping the Midwest sent temperatures plunging Wednesday to rival some of the most frigid spots in the world, triggering widespread closures of schools and businesses, and the canceling of more than 1,600 flights from Chicago's airports.
The U.S. Postal Service even took the rare step of suspending mail delivery across much of the region. Hundreds of public schools and universities from North Dakota to Pennsylvania canceled classes as residents huddled inside amid one of the coldest air masses in years.

Yes, I'm A Late Riser. Stop Making Me Feel Lazy & Unproductive
My New Year’s resolution was to get up early. Notice the past tense in that sentence. Four days into said new year, I clambered out of bed at 11am again after a night of "Ooh! I’ll just write this idea down in case I forget it" and performed my usual ritual of stomping around the house grumbling that I’m a lazy [insert any swear word you like]. My ears rang with articles telling me that the most successful people get up at 4am, and work/life diaries that always seem to begin: "I rise at 6am already in the middle of a yoga class."

Life Skills You Need to Increase Your Likelihood of Success
Whether you're an entrepreneur, a company leader, or an entry-level employee, there are certain life skills that will not only increase your chances of being successful but will also help you maintain that success.
As
I plot my goals for this year, one is making sure my kids are
consistently learning these skills -- I still don't see them being
taught in school as much as they should, which is a bit disappointing.
These include things like personal finance, which my mom taught me at an
early age. This actually set me up to obtain my first loan for my first business.
But
what other important life skills are needed to help you -- or your
children -- become super successful in life? Here are seven skills that I
believe are absolutely essential.
1. Money management
I
recently set up bank accounts for my 2-year-old and 5-year-old. As
crazy as that may sound, my bank offers a 5 percent interest rate on its
checking accounts for up to $500. Needless to say, I was pretty amped
about that. But the real purpose was more about getting them to think
about saving money and setting goals. Yes, that's right: My 5-year-old
has financial goals.
Unfortunately, I
frequently run into people who desperately want to start their own
business or make the jump from their crappy corporate job.
Unfortunately, money prevents them from achieving these goals because
they don't have the down payment or financial cushion to take a
worthwhile risk.
