Italian sedentary and obese. Report Osservasalute for 2007
It was released in Rome on Tuesday Osservasalute Report for 2007. The document provides a fairly detailed state of health of the country and the type and distribution of health services on national territory. Data shows in particular how obesity and overweight are likely to become a real health emergency for the country. Since 2002 because the rate of obesity has increased from 8, 5% to 9.9% distributed equally in both sexes, but with a higher incidence in the south than the north. To make matters worse the bad habit of sedentary, with only 20.9 of the population practice sport in a consistent manner, especially young people between 6 and 19 years, and only 10.3% said physical activity occasionally. The less energetic can be found in the south with a share of 58.6% in Sicily. Would also be the men to be more afflicted by problems of overweight?
The report confirms a major (albeit slightly) longevity for women, who live an average of 83.9 years against 78.3 years for men, compared to a country that seems less and less young people: the dubious distinction of the region’s oldest it to Liguria and brands are the longest region with an average of 79.2 years for men and 84.4 years for women. In contrast the figure for the birth rate, which increases and decreases in the north to the south. Not surprising as there is no data that indicate an increase of infectious diseases, especially syphilis and gonorrhea. While the incidence rate of cancer has increased in the south thus approaching that of the north, traditionally the highest. In return, however, throughout the national territory has decreased the mortality rate for this type of disease, mainly due to improvements in preventive services and cancer screening. However, while the spread of mammography screening for women north are 90% for Southern and only 40%.
Unfortunately it does not improve the condition of people with disabilities who do not receive adequate assistance and support. In Italy for 10% of households has a disabled person, 80% of them enjoys no home care service and 70%, especially in the south, does not receive any kind of assistance either public or private. There is a slight improvement in psychiatric disorders, at least as regards the number of admissions since 2001 to date decreased by 4.1%, possibly through the use of antipsychotics, whose consumption is greater in the south where, in contrast is less than the consumption of antidepressants. More worrying is that concerning the increase in the number of people requiring health care for problems related to cocaine addiction, especially in more populous regions: Lazio, Emilia-Romagna, Lombardy and Campania.

Slaves hormones. That’s why women were less successful than men
The tendency of women to realize less than men in the workplace is, according to the scholar Susan Pinker, not only socially but also biologically determined. Years of struggle for the conquest of gender equality and the empowerment of women were therefore useless? In fact, that since the decree, where a woman can dare to be a biological predisposition against which it cannot be anything. In the book “The Sexual Paradox, extreme men, gifted woman and the real gender gap” American psychologist, suggests that women, although equally motivated and capable, sometimes even more than men (packing with him this time there by a woman!) not manage to reach the heights of success due to low production of testosterone in the face of an abundant secretion of oxytocin, a hormone involved in the mechanisms of orgasm and motherhood.
In particular, according to Pinker, women are more likely, by virtue of their hormonal characteristics, to choose jobs that have a social and why more communication and empathic to have a greater range of interpersonal relationships and interests that go beyond the work. Would always be the oxytocin to carry the working woman to feel less satisfied with their work unless forced to do it is to spend less time with their children or limit their social life. The hormones in practice lead women to make career choices and life that limit their ability to “reach the summit.”
The same Pinker also argues that with motherhood, along with the hormonal changes that lead women to prefer a career to their children, but also improves the ability to manage these problems. The desirable social change for women workers will help to make life a little easier for those seeking to reconcile work and family, but will not change things. The role of social and cultural factors that affect unquestionably the difficulties that many women, not only mothers, face in the workplace, it seems not to have much importance, would be crucial as the action of hormones that already begins in the womb and continues for life.

The ten penises smaller than the star system
It is said that there are no small actors, only small parts. Nothing is more true, it seems even the big players are not always super-gifted! It seems that some celebrities idolized as a male sex symbol, talking in my pants-penis the male sexual organ – they have little to offer!
They are often betrayed ex-wives and girlfriends to peddle bad voices, and this could make us doubt their veracity, except that some have been photographed naked by merciless photographers, leaving no room for doubt.
Boys will be happy mortals, and even the most complex men who are about the size of their penis. But I suppose you want to know names and surnames of the least talented of Hollywood … and then you do not wait.
Here are the top ten lists of celebrities less gifted (a paraphrase to indicate the shorter sentences, in fact …):
- Brad Pitt, yes, although you look like a machine churning out the child, at the time of marriage with Juditte Lewis, had a good reputation: his wife when he was asked how Brad was inside his trousers, had replicated among amazement of all: “It is not as great, if you know what I mean” He says, you learn! What a waste!
- Jude Law has been taken while she was naked in France, host of the mother. Was taking a bath when he was caught by paparazzi. The comments of the photographers assault on his male attributes? “It is no Tommy Lee” …
- Eight Mile, the famous rapper appears to have much to say but little to show. Or at least is what his ex-wife Kim Mathers says, which defines sex with Eminem as a huge flop, and even recommend the use of Viagra because “otherwise it will not work!”
- Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore before she married, was about to join in marriage with actress Brittany Murphy. The famous American show, the David Letterman Show, the former flame stated: “I suppose that their relationship is based on the fact that he did not care about age difference and she does not affect the size of the penis!”
- Chris Evans, despite reports can boast the likes of Geri Halliwell and Billie Piper (his ex-wife), has no secret weapons down. And ‘his own admission (we appreciate the humility!). During a visit to his mother in hospital, the famous speaker, in front of reproductions of anatomical male penis, held that adores these representations that make understanding the perfection of the body, and how everything works like a perfect machine, but at the same time, feels a disabled before the average size of the male phallus, since he provided little of substance manly.
- Enrique Iglesias: father, like son? It is not always so! Despite his father Julio boasted of having had more than 3,000 women and is a legendary lover, the son has been problems with the size of his penis and admits that if he could, the only thing that would change her body. For his girlfriend Anna Kournikova this is not a serious problem, but Enrique confesses that the biggest difficulty is finding condoms extra small! Viva sincerity!
- Danny Bonaduce has appeared naked at the San Francisco Conference Erotic and you have to use the magnifying glass to be able to see his penis. Later he claimed to have laid bare, just to prove that there had not so small! That’s why, to erase from memory the picture that makes it on, decided to make new steps in full by March 2008.
- Howard Stern, it seems that the king of all media is not the king of the bedroom. He himself describes his penis as a grape, and admits he would like to have him as that of men of color. A bit ‘too ambitious, perhaps?
- Johnny Knoxville has called his penis as an egg in a nest! And again, like a light switch! Too much self-mockery? I hope so for him! Needless to say, this is joining the rankings!
- Mick Jagger, who would have thought that the king of rock had a small penis? Maybe it’s the fault of all those years spent in tight pants, the fact is that the Rolling Stones has been publicly ridiculed by his ex lover Janice Dickinson, because he would try to get thicken the penis, covering it with bees, so the sting made him turgid. Incredible? Unbelievable? Not really, the bees appear to be a fashion for VIPs less talented of the star system. Their happy! But it will not get hurt?
I think this ranking is enough to calm a little with the whole world, not all the stars are celebrities too in my pants, and this shows that great men do not feel has nothing to do with the size of the penis … sounds like a cliché but … does anyone believe it?
