What Is Gonorrhea?

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) which is caused by bacteria called Neisseria gonorrheae. During sexual activity, Gonorrhea can be transmitted from one person to another by contact with infected genital fluids. This can occur with oral, anal or vaginal sex.


How Common Is It?

Gonorrhea is the second most common bacterial STI in the United States with approximately 300,000 new cases reported every year. Girls and young women aged 15 to 19 and young men between the ages of 20 and 24 years have the highest rates of infection. Sexually active teens and young adults should be screened for a Gonorrhea infection every year.
Neisseria gonorrhea can infect the urethra, anus, rectum and/or mouth and throat of both boys and girls. This bacteria most commonly infects the cervix (opening to the uterus at the top of the vagina) in girls while the primary site of infection in boys is the urethra. A female Gonorrheal infection of the cervix progresses on to the more serious pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in ten to forty percent of cases. In fact, up to 40% of PID cases are thought to be caused by Gonorrheal infections. (Click the "PID" tab on the left or the "PID Animation" tab on the right for more information.).

What makes these home-based toxins so dangerous is that often you can't tell they're there until it's too late and you're already sick. That is, of course, unless you know where and how to look ...

1. Pests

We all know that mice and other pests are unsightly, but they can be downright dangerous too. For instance, a study done by researchers at Johns Hopkins Children's Center found that of 100 inner-city bedrooms of children with asthma, 84 percent had detectable levels of airborne mouse allergen!

And that's not all. Mice can also spread the Hantavirus, which causes a disease known as Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). You become infected after mice droppings, urine or saliva get into your household dust, which you subsequently breathe in.

Mice and other pests can be very illusive, so you may not even know they're in your home. Here are three telltale signs to look out for if you suspect (and even if you don't) mice may have infested your home:

Cracks and holes in walls or doors
Open food left out in the kitchen
Mouse droppings on floors, counters or in cabinets

2. Phthalates

These endocrine-disrupting chemicals are ubiquitous in today's environment. Most commonly they're used to soften plastics, but they're also in a host of other products like fragrances, hair spray and nail polish. - See more at: http://www.timeless9ja.com/2015/10/dangerous-home-based-causes-of-illness.html#sthash.3cj2VZkl.dpuf

@actoor... do you believe that bad people understand the power of eye contact, the hookers on the streets of obalende and anywhere else are confident enough to follow you home and get that 'thing done with their patronizers'. a criminal mastermind works with your own move and always try to weaken you by using the eye contact as a tool so at times it is good to avoid eye contact. Let apply this power of eye contact in a relationship. How do you feel when you look into her eyes? what comes into your mind at that moment? Do you feel like you dont want to stop looking into her eyeballs...? i am hoping to read from you actor.

Researchers have discovered that one of the most striking differences between people who are socially confident and those who are shy, is that confident people have much more frequent eye contact with their conversational partners.

Many shy people never make eye contact at all, tending to look downward or away, instead of looking at their conversation partner’s face.

Most North Americans, especially Caucasians, prefer to have a lot of eye contact when they are talking with someone. When a person doesn’t make eye contact with them, North Americans tend to assume that person is hiding something.

When you are speaking with someone who is from a culture that prefers a lot of eye contact, be sure to keep looking at that person frequently while you are talking, even while you are wondering what to say next. You don’t need to use a piercing stare, a friendly gaze will do.

If it really bothers you to look directly into another person’s eyes, you can look at the person’s face without focusing solely on the eyes. If you gaze generally at the eyebrow area or the bridge of the nose, this is close enough to the eye region that you will appear to be looking at the person’s eyes.

You may find that it eases your own discomfort if you let your vision go slightly out of focus.

Whenever you are in conversation with someone, keep the - See more at: http://www.timeless9ja.com/2015/10/the-power-of-eye-contact.html

Most people know that a woman's fertility decreases as she gets older, but even during her most fertile (and otherwise healthy) years, lifestyle choices and external factors can affect a woman's chances of having a healthy baby.

"Women who want to increase their chances of getting pregnant often don't know the best things to do or what to watch out for," says Francisco Arredondo, MD, a reproductive endocrinologist and fertility specialist in San Antonio, Texas. Here are some of factors that do (or don't) affect a woman's fertility, and what you can do about them if you are trying to conceive.

Being too thin

Just as excess body fat can impact fertility, so can not having enough of it. That may be because women who have very low BMIs are deficient in leptin, the hormone that controls hunger and feelings of satiety. Having low leptin contributes to the absence of menstrual periods, according to a 2009 Harvard University study. "Maintaining a healthy body weight—one that falls in the normal BMI range and that is reached through a healthy diet and moderate exercise—is one of the most important things a woman can do to increase her chances of getting pregnant," says Dr. Arredondo, who recently helped develop Conceivable, (free; iTunes) a new app aimed at helping women increase their chances of getting pregnant.

Getting older

When a woman reaches menopause, usually in her 40s or 50s, she no longer ovulates and is unable to get pregnant. But even in the decade or so before menopause officially occurs, she may experience fertility problems as her ovulation becomes less regular and her egg count declines—a time known as perimenopause.

There's no official age when fertility begins to take a dive, but many doctors say that it often becomes increasingly difficult to get pregnant after age 35. This age is different for every woman, though; some may go through perimenopause earlier, while others remain fertile through their - See more at:http://www.timeless9ja.com/2015/10/some-factors-that-may-affect-womans.html

Guys often write off pre-intimacy as wasted time, but that is likely to lead to frustration for you AND her. In fact, pre-intimacy is a crucial prerequisite for her to enjoy a mind-blowing orgasm.

1. Try this great warmup

The precoital massage: As a warmup to the main event, start by massaging the length of her legs, from her upper thighs down to her ankles. Then focus on the feet, kneading her heels and all other points beneath. Then zero in on the toes and stretch them individually. Of course, if her impeccable hygiene encourages you to suck her toes, you'll have her in ecstasy.
2. Ask what turns her on

Come right out and ask what she likes during sex. "Most women appreciate men who want to make sure they're satisfied," says Barbara Bartlik, M.D., a professor of psychiatry at Cornell University. "If she notices you're working hard to please her, she'll be more likely to return the favor." And tell us: Is there a better place to develop your work ethic?

3. Boost your pre-intimacy quotient

Improve the quality of pre-intimacy and she'll never again bug you about the quantity. "If you act as if you're just going through the motions to get to the sex, she's going to notice, and it will take longer for her to get excited," says Michael Perry, Ph.D., a sex therapist in Encino, California. So do what you want to do. If you like how her calves feel, stroke them. If you like her butt, kiss it. "When a man is loving what he's doing, it's going to show through and turn her on, too," says Perry.

4. Go easy

Yes, the clitoris is the obvious place to focus your attention. Still, many men do wrong by it. "Direct stimulation of the clitoris can actually be painful," says Cathy Winks, author of The Good Vibrations Guide to the center of gravity. "It's much better to rub the clitoral hood - See more at: http://www.timeless9ja.com/2015/10/pre-intimacy-tips-to-satisfy-your-woman.html

There are many skin care regimens for different skin types and even for different skin shades. So a guide to choosing cleansers and how to use them is important. What remains constant, however, is that the routine must include cleansing. African American skin care, for instance, begins with the right cleansing techniques.

Cleansing should be done on a daily basis (and done properly for that matter) especially since black skin is easily afflicted with whiteheads and blackheads and it is also prone to acne. Therefore, cleaning is a must if you want to maintain your beautiful black skin and its glow.

While it's easy to find a cleanser in a beauty store filled with African American skin care products, choosing one that is natural and appropriate for your skin can be a challenge. Take time to do your research since you'll be using the cleanser regularly. When you wake up in the morning, before you retire at night, when removing makeup, when your face is oily ... you'll need a cleanser. So make sure to grab one that will really remove oil and dirt but still take care of your skin.

The Correct Way to Cleanse

Aside from the fact that it is the first skin usually noticed, facial skin is more delicate than the skin on other parts of our body. Therefore, it requires a more delicate cleansing than the rest. Do not use abrasive cleaning products and - See more at: http://www.timeless9ja.com/2015/10/the-care-of-dark-skin.html

The best way to recover from that particularly tough workout? A day or two of rest followed by a light bout of exercise, recommends Stenstrup. Also make a point to get at least eight hours of sleep a night which your body will need to repair those tiny muscle tears that occur during workouts and enable your body to build new muscle. Good nutrition is also key: Think lean protein (fish, skinless chicken breast, tofu), whole grains and plenty of fruits and vegetables. Here are the 10 ways your body will let you know if you're headed for exercise burnout.

Decreased performance. A drop in your workout performance is one of the earliest signs of overload, according to Jini Cicero, a conditioning specialist based in Los Angeles, Calif. Altered performance levels are often more apparent in endurance activities such as running, swimming and cycling, she says.

Diminished appetite. "A decrease in appetite can occur in the middle to later stages of overtraining, and goes hand in hand with feelings of fatigue and lack of motivation," says Stenstrup. By slowing down bodily processes like metabolism, the body attempts to force a reduction in its workload.

Memory is important to people. It not only helps people get back to the moments in their lives where they were happiest, it also helps in recalling important facts and lessons needed on the job or in particular life situations. Being able to recall memory is an important cognitive function. Memory loss does not only occur with old age. Some young adults can lose their memory too.

What are the Causes of Memory Loss in Young Adults

Memory loss is also referred to as amnesia.
Amnesia is most commonly associated with old age.
Amnesia can also occur in young adults but is very uncommon and is a result of several causes.
There are two types of memory: long term and short term.
In young adults, either or both of the memories cannot be recalled.
Psychogenic memory loss – caused by stress, depression, schizophrenia, criminal behavior.
Brain infections – can cause memory loss. Examples include encephalitis and meningitis.
Head trauma – traumatic injury to the brain can cause memory loss in young adults.
Vitamin B1 deficiency – in young adults can result from alcoholism or chronic malnutrition.
Certain drugs – Prescription drugs or recreation drugs can cause drug-induced memory loss.

Love is such a wonderful thing that when shared by two people, the feelings become mutual and the gratifications achieved. All of these are established during the start of dating.

Dating becomes the primary selection ground for people who wish to end up with somebody they can grow old with. It provides them the means to find the right person whom they can share their sentiments, their feelings, problems, etc.

Normally, the stages of dating illustrate continuous experiences. As the couple proceeds on the next level, they get to know another chapter in their mate’s life.

However, even if it seems that two people are already mutual with regards to their feelings, there are instances that one of them would ask if their mate is the right person for them. They can feel that they are happy - Continue reading at: http://www.timeless9ja.com/2015/10/getting-to-know-if-you-found-right.html

1. Exercise

Begin a strength-training program. You do not need to join a gym or purchase additional weights. Instead, perform exercises that just require your body weight, including pushups, squats, lunges, calf raises, crunches and triceps dips.

Perform these six exercises three times per week. For each exercise, perform three sets. For each set, do as many repetitions as you can until you are too tired to perform another repetition. Rest for 30 seconds. Perform your next set. After you finish one exercise, rest for 30 seconds and start the next exercise. Write down how many repetitions you can perform per each set before you have to stop. Try to beat your record the next time you work out.

Ray360... You are right. most of the relationship has turn into something 'undefinable'... Some questions i will loike to ask others is

1. What does 'relationship' mean between a man and a woman
2. What kind of relationship do they share between them
3. What is the clear difference of relationship and marriage

i think that should be the first step of questions they should ask each other before solving other important issues.

Skinny guys work on/build their body so they can look fit and smart.. Are you fat Durentt? You should try it someday

How much energy do you spend trying to get what you want from your partner? Think about it for a moment – how much of your thinking time is spent on what to say to your partner to get him or her to be the way you want him or her to be?

Many of us spend a lot of time thinking about how to get what we want from our partner – how to get our partner to open up, be more caring, see us, love us, pay attention to us, spend time with us, have sex with us, and so on. We spend at lot of energy trying to get what we want from our partner because we believe that if only we do it right – behave right or say the right thing – we can have control over getting our partner to change. This illusion of having control over getting another to change keeps us stuck in behavior that not only does not work to get us what we want, but drains us of the energy we could be using to learn to take loving care of ourselves.

It is very hard to accept that we can’t “get” others to do what we want them to do, even if it would be good for them and for the relationship. In my counseling work with people, I frequently hear:

“How can I get my husband to read your books?’

“How can I get my wife to be more sexual?” - Continue reading at: http://www.timeless9ja.com/2015/10/rebuilding-your-partner.html

Fitness is a measure of the body's ability to function efficiently and effectively in work and leisure activities, to be healthy, to resist hypo-kinetic diseases, and to meet emergency situations but some food may be an obstacle to your body and make it look like all effort in building your body isn't working.

Do you know that fifty-four percent of U.S. adults now have abdominal obesity, up from 46 percent in 2000, according to a recent report in the Journal of the American Medical Association. If you fall into that category (male abs are considered fat if the waistline measures more than 40 inches), it's time to consider cutting down your consumption of these five foods... continue reading http://www.timeless9ja.com/2015/09/avoid-these-5-foods-if-you-want-six-pack.html

When it comes to our bodies, we all have one place or another that we are somewhat unsatisfied with. You always here people say things like “I hate my thighs” or “my butt is too big”. Of course some of these things are said in jest, but there is still discontent hidden in there.

Despite it all though, the one thing that has become almost an obsession today is the way our abs look. It seems that everyone is looking for those ever elusive “six pack abs”, but much like Ponce De Leon’s search for the fountain of youth, it seems like it is impossible to find.

Now, while there is no “magical formula” for attaining a flat, firm, and toned stomach, there is something you can do that if done regularly, will get you the results that you are looking for. To get these results, stomach crunches need to be done daily but keep in mind that stomach exercises alone will not burn the fat off of your midsection.

Keeping your calories in check along with doing your crunches everyday will be the way for you to see that flat, chiseled, sexy stomach continue reading http://www.timeless9ja.com/2015/10/tips-to-get-flat-stomach.html

If you are already motivated to lose weight and just don’t know where to begin, make an
appointment with your doctor or diabetes educator. They can provide you with
information on a healthy eating plan and approve the type of exercises you should begin
with. Getting the okay from your doctor before starting any physical routine is a good
idea so you do not over-do it at the beginning creating more harm than good.

If you have tried to lose weight before and know that it is a hard road, you may find the
motivation you need through a support group. Having a network to back you up when
you are having a hard day or the commitment of meeting someone at the gym can get you
through the rough patches ahead.

When you are diabetic you have probably read in many places and have heard from your
doctor how beneficial it is for you to lose weight. But that doesn’t make it any easier to
do. It is difficult to do, but everyone is right; you will reap many benefits from losing
weight including... Continue reading http://www.timeless9ja.com/2015/10/motivating-yourself-to-lose-weight-in.html

A rare Hermès handbag has set a new record for the most expensive handbag ever sold at auction – going for HK$1.72m (£146,000).

The fuchsia diamond-encrusted crocodile skin 2014 Birkin was sold to an anonymous phone bidder at Christie’s international handbags and accessories auction in Hong Kong. Wow this is so amazing how a handbag could cost that much, i guess you are suprise too.

The previous record for the most expensive handbag sold at auction stood at $218,000 (£144,000), for a gold and diamond piece once owned by Elizabeth Taylor, in 2011. A Hermès Birkin sold at $203,150 (£133,000) in a heritage auction the same year.

Unexpected sight loss is more common than you may think. Blindness often happens without prior warning signs and in people unaware they are at risk.

The two most common culprits of unexpected sight loss are diabetes and glaucoma. These diseases are known as the “sneak thieves of sight” because symptoms may not occur in the early stages. By the time a person realizes something is wrong, irreversible vision loss often occurs.

In fact, diabetic eye disease is the leading cause of blindness in adults. An average of 55 Americans go blind from the disease each day. The numbers threaten to rise sharply as diabetes becomes increasingly common due to poor eating habits, infrequent exercise and an aging population. One in three children born in the United States five years ago are expected to become diabetic during their lives.

Diabetes causes partial or complete loss of vision in... Read more at: http://www.timeless9ja.com/2015/10/health-risk-of-diabetes-and-glaucoma.html
