Women are workaholics or ‘flirtaholics’?

Forty-three pct of office going women have been in the bed with a male colleague, a sex survey by New Woman magazine reveals.

There is a distinction between workaholics and hard workers. The latter may work 15 hours a day as a means to an end--pay the bills, please the boss or receive a promotion. Once that goal is met, though, they know how to relax.

Workaholics, on the other hand, live to work. When one project is complete, they
find 10 more to accomplish. They are described as intense, energetic, competitive, driven and "leisure neurotics."

Why Are Some Women Serial Flirts?
In a twisted way, flirting and having men fall for women is almost a game; a challenge that women like to play with themselves. They'll flirt to see if "they've still got it," regardless of whether or not they are interested in the guy in question. read more.....

Horoscope

In astrology, a horoscope is a chart or diagram representing the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets, the astrological aspects, and sensitive angles at the time of an event, such as the moment of a person's birth. The word "horoscope" is derived from Greek words meaning "a look at the hours" (horoskopos, pl. horoskopoi, or "marker(s) of the hour.")

Other commonly used names for the horoscope in English include astrological chart, astro-chart, celestial map, sky-map, star-chart, cosmogram, vitasphere, radical chart, radix, chart wheel, or simply chart, among others. It is used as a method of divination regarding events relating to the point in time it represents and forms the basis of the horoscopic traditions of astrology. A horoscope calculated for the birth of a person is called a natal chart (also known as a natus, birth chart, and/or nativity).read more…

Legal system

Civil law or continental law is the predominant system of law in the world. Civil law as a legal system is often compared with common law. The main difference that is usually drawn between the two systems is that common law draws abstract rules from specific cases, whereas civil law starts out with abstract rules, which judges must then apply to the various cases before them.

Civil law has its roots in Roman law, Canon law and the Enlightenment. The legal systems in many civil law countries are based around one or several codes of law, which set out the main principles that guide the law. The most famous example is perhaps the French Civil Code, although the German BGB and the Swiss Civil Code are also landmark events in legal history.

Overview:
Civil or civilian law is a legal tradition which is the base of the law in the majority of countries of the world, especially in continental Europe and the former Soviet Union, but also in Quebec (Canada), partially in Louisiana (USA), Puerto Rico (a U.S. territory), Korea (both North and South), Japan, China, Latin America and most former colonies of continental European countries. The Scottish legal system is usually considered to be a mixed system in that Scots law has a basis in Roman law, combining features of both uncodified and Civil law systems. read more……..
