Global warming: Fact or fiction?

"Several debates rage over theories about how the planet was formed and how it is thriving – or not thriving."

CHANGED TO:

"The global warming scare has made plenty of people become more aware of the impact they have on the planet, but one has to ask if this theory can actually be fact or just a lot of hot air."

CHANGED "can actually be fact" to "is actual fact."

CHANGED "one has to ask if this theory is actual fact" to a question format.

CHANGED "Another claim adding fuel to this debate that global warming is a myth" to "another claim that global warming is a myth" Needed the sentence to be shorter.

CHANGED "Another point which the proponents make" to "Another point they make" because of word limit.

CHANGED "Bottom line, whether or not global warming is real, the fact remains that all human inhabitants of this earth" to omit "the fact remains." Felt it was irrelevant since I started the sentence with "bottom line."

CHANGED "all human inhabitants of this earth should take steps to care for our environment" to "all human inhabitants of our home planet should care for our environment." I felt that calling Earth our "home planet" would have a stronger emotional impact and cause some sensitive readers to feel that attachment to our planet.

Advice for women buying a car

Following your research, try to have the money you’re willing to pay on you when you go to the car lot. Let the salesman know you have cash ready to pay. This will change their tune and they’ll be more willing to work with you in negotiating a price.

Give yourself a day or two to decide if that car and that price is what you are willing to go with.

Tips for childproofing your home

Check the walls of your home for chipped or flaked paint. This can lead to lead poisoning if the paint contains lead. Hire a professional to remove it.

Use doorknob covers and hook-and-eye locks on doors to keep children out of certain rooms. Also, keep items children can’t touch – such as framed photos, fine china and jewelry – in these “off-limit” rooms.

Home remedies for Candida

As a part of your regular diet, yogurt can help prevent the growth and spread of yeasts that would lead to an infection.

Another suggestion has been to soak a tampon in curds and insert it into the area twice a day.

(Cut from the paragraph discussing an alternative to eating yogurt) These (acidophilus) pills are available from your local health food store and they act as a stronger force compared to yogurt in going straight to the infected area to do what it does best.

(Cut from the paragraph on buttermilk): Not only is it good for you but it has been reported to prevent the onset of a yeast infection.

Fun things to do on a second date

Play pool.
Why it rocks: You get to see how you both socialize with others in a public setting, have fun together and invite playful moments.

Take a hike.
Why it rocks: You both get to enjoy the outdoors, see how you handle emergencies or unique situations should they happen, and show off your physical agility.

Have a picnic.
Why it rocks: You get to have some cuddle time enjoying foods you both like, or even trying out new kinds of foods and showing off any of your culinary skills, and you get to take in a great view while having a chance to talk.

Go boating.
Why it rocks: If you’re a skilled boater, you get to show off just how well you can handle a boat. If not, a boat tour is a great chance to cuddle together while enjoying aquatic beauty and having time to talk in a comfortable, quiet environment. And it’s just the two of you on one boat.

Go fishing.
Why it rocks: If nothing else, fishing is a great way to get in some quiet time to just download or talk. It’s also a great chance to show how well you can work together, tolerate frustrations (every fishing expedition has one), and be creative in figuring out where to fish.
