Calculus

My daughter has a horrendous amount of calculus homework every night. She has no desire to do any type of career that involves math, however it's a requirement for graduation. "I'm never going to use this in the real world," is her constant complaint. I watch her crunch numbers and punch keys on a calculator and think that I barely have a clue what she's doing. Shouldn't I know what she does? Shouldn't I be able to help her with her homework? Do I need to revisit a conversation calculator to help my kid get through high school? I'd really rather not. My math involves real life stuff like mortgages, interest rates, groceries budgets and gas prices. Maybe I would rather do Calculus homework.

Women on low-carb diets tend to be cranky due to poor memory function, caused by a lack of carbs. The brain needs glucose, which it gets from the breakdown of carbohydrates. Adding some type of carbohydrate into the diet helps the brain functions return to normal.

The minute a bottle of sunscreen is opened, it begins to lose its strength. If the bottle gets left in the sun, there's a good chance that it's acquired some bacteria. She should buy fresh sunscreen each season, especially considering the growing rate of skin cancer.

More than 40,000 cases of oral cancer are reported annually. Alcohol and tobacco tend to increase the chances. When going to the dentist, make sure they do a full head and neck exam.
