Shingles, medically known as herpes zoster, affects more than 1 million people in America each year. Cases have increased more than fourfold over the past 60 years. Here are the major causes behind this painful condition.
It’s nothing new that news organizations today tend to favor one side when reporting on politics and social issues. Naturally, readers from the opposite sides of the political spectrum are relying largely on sources that align with their own political views.
The problem? People seldom get exposure to stories from other sides.
Even though no one would ever deny the importance of staying objective, people are, involuntarily, trapped in their own bias.
So does honest and impartial reporting still exist today? Is there a publication that values impartiality when reporting the news?
The answer is right here—The Epoch Times believes in traditional journalism. Our reporters are required to get all sides of a story and allow someone who is being criticized to respond. They are guided by the highest code of conduct and ethics in their reporting.
We are the kind of publication you have been looking for.

This exercise focuses on your core muscles and the muscles along your backline. It is a challenging, multipurpose exercise that can be performed almost anywhere.
Step 1: Position yourself on a supportive surface on your hands and knees, preferably with padding, to be nice to your knees.
Step 2: Slowly extend your left arm and right leg at the same time, keeping them straight until they are horizontal to the floor. This is the “bird dog” portion of the exercise. When extending your arms and legs, be sure to keep your back straight and your head up.
Step 3: Bend your elbow and knee simultaneously, bringing them toward each other until they touch. This is the “crunch” portion of the exercise.
Step 4: Return to the bird dog position and repeat the crunch movement.
Step 5: This counts as 1 repetition. Try to perform 3 sets of 30 repetitions per set. You can alternate from side to side or perform all sets on one side and then the other.
Be sure to keep your head up the entire time; trust me, the floor is still there, so you don’t have to waste time looking down at it.
