Health benefits of Love Making
Sex is fun — but if you need another reason to get busy, there's a long list of potential health benefits in having sex, as well
. So, read up, then grab your partner and hit the sheets. Keep sexually active and enjoy better health.
Here’s the 7 benefits of making love for you:
1. Sex boosts your intelligence
New research says individuals who experience regular sexual activity have a higher probability of increasing intelligence by increasing the growth of nerves within the brain. Additionally, this study confirmed that a greater degree of brain growth was also connected with health-related benefits like heightened alertness and memory.
2. Look younger
Regular sex can make you look younger. A boost of increased hormones is responsible for improving the look and feel of hair, skin and nails, while the increased blood circulation helps to brighten our skin's appearance, creating that afterglow affect. In addtion, sex helps increase the production of collagen, which provides anti-aging benefits to the skin.
3. Strengthen muscles
Depending on your body positions during intercourse, several muscles will be used and therefore toned and strengthened. The muscles of the pelvic floor get a great work-out, which is important to prevent incontinence later in life.
4. Lengthen your life
A study carried out in Australia found people who climaxed at least three times a week had a 50% lower chance of dying for any medical reason than those who only climaxed once a month.
5. Ease those nasty period cramps
Many women say period pain diminishes if they do the deed during a cramp attack.
One theory why is that muscle contractions that occur when you reach peak levels of excitement relieve tension in the muscles of your uterus – the ones that cause menstrual cramps – therefore easing the pain
6. Combat stress and improve your mood
Sexual intercourse releases endorphins, those wonderful feel-good chemicals that help reduce stress and make us feel great. You know that deep feeling of relaxation after? Chalk it up to endorphins. Another plus for women is that absorbing semen through the vagina may help fight depression.
7. Give your immunity a boost
Stave off colds and infections by having sex once or twice a week. This will increase the levels of the immunoglobulin-A antibody in your system, thought to help your immune sytem fight off nasty colds and flus.

Donald Trump's Inaugural address
Chief Justice Roberts, President Carter, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, fellow Americans, and people of the world: Thank you.
We, the citizens of America, are now joined in a great national effort to rebuild our country and to restore its promise for all of our people.
Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for years to come.
We will face challenges. We will confront hardships. But we will get the job done.
Every four years, we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer of power, and we are grateful to President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama for their gracious aid throughout this transition. They have been magnificent.
Today's ceremony, however, has very special meaning. Because today we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another, or from one party to another -- but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the American People.
For too long, a small group in our nation's Capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost. Washington flourished -- but the people did not share in its wealth. Politicians prospered -- but the jobs left, and the factories closed.
The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country. Their victories have not been your victories; their triumphs have not been your triumphs; and while they celebrated in our nation's capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.
That all changes -- starting right here, and right now, because this moment is your moment: it belongs to you.
It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America. This is your day. This is your celebration. And this, the United States of America, is your country.
What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people. January 20th 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again. The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.
Everyone is listening to you now.
You came by the tens of millions to become part of a historic movement the likes of which the world has never seen before. At the center of this movement is a crucial conviction: that a nation exists to serve its citizens.
Americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, and good jobs for themselves. These are the just and reasonable demands of a righteous public.
But for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists: Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities; rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation; an education system flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of knowledge; and the crime and gangs and drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential.
This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.
We are one nation -- and their pain is our pain. Their dreams are our dreams; and their success will be our success. We share one heart, one home, and one glorious destiny.
The oath of office I take today is an oath of allegiance to all Americans.
For many decades, we've enriched foreign industry at the expense of American industry; subsidized the armies of other countries while allowing for the very sad depletion of our military; we've defended other nation's borders while refusing to defend our own; and spent trillions of dollars overseas while America's infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay.
We've made other countries rich while the wealth, strength, and confidence of our country has disappeared over the horizon.
One by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores, with not even a thought about the millions upon millions of American workers left behind.
The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their homes and then redistributed across the entire world.
But that is the past. And now we are looking only to the future. We assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city, in every foreign capital, and in every hall of power.
From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land.
From this moment on, it's going to be America First.
Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American families. We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies, and destroying our jobs. Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength.
I will fight for you with every breath in my body -- and I will never, ever let you down.
America will start winning again, winning like never before.
We will bring back our jobs. We will bring back our borders. We will bring back our wealth. And we will bring back our dreams.
We will build new roads, and highways, and bridges, and airports, and tunnels, and railways all across our wonderful nation.
We will get our people off of welfare and back to work -- rebuilding our country with American hands and American labor.
We will follow two simple rules: Buy American and hire American.
We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world -- but we do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first.
We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example for everyone to follow.
We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones -- and unite the civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the Earth.
At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America, and through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other.
When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice. The Bible tells us, "How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity."
We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity.
When America is united, America is totally unstoppable.
There should be no fear -- we are protected, and we will always be protected.
We will be protected by the great men and women of our military and law enforcement and, most importantly, we are protected by God.
Finally, we must think big and dream even bigger.
In America, we understand that a nation is only living as long as it is striving.
We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action -- constantly complaining but never doing anything about it.
The time for empty talk is over. Now arrives the hour of action.
Do not let anyone tell you it cannot be done. No challenge can match the heart and fight and spirit of America.
We will not fail. Our country will thrive and prosper again.
We stand at the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the Earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow.
A new national pride will stir our souls, lift our sights, and heal our divisions.
It is time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget: that whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots, we all enjoy the same glorious freedoms, and we all salute the same great American Flag.
And whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the windswept plains of Nebraska, they look up at the same night sky, they fill their heart with the same dreams, and they are infused with the breath of life by the same almighty Creator.
So to all Americans, in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain, and from ocean to ocean, hear these words:
You will never be ignored again.
Your voice, your hopes, and your dreams will define our American destiny. And your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the way.
Together, We will make America strong again.
We will make wealthy again.
We will make America proud again.
We will make America safe again.
And yes, together, we will make America great again. Thank you. God bless you. And God bless America.
We, the citizens of America, are now joined in a great national effort to rebuild our country and to restore its promise for all of our people.
Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for years to come.

Kim Kardashian Details Terrifying Armed Paris Robbery Experience to French Police
Kim Kardashian Details Terrifying Armed Paris Robbery Experience to French Police: Report
By: CORINNE HELLER
More details are emerging from Kim Kardashian's horrific Paris robbery from last year.
The French newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche published Sunday what it says is a transcript of the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star's verbal statement to French police about the October event, during which she was robbed for almost $10 million worth of jewelry at gunpoint inside her hotel room.
NBC News confirms that the police report is accurate as published, although local police have yet to release the report themselves. Kim has not commented.
She had been in Paris for Fashion Week. According to the report, Kim told the authorities the robbery took place at 4:30 a.m. while she was wearing nothing but a bathrobe.
She said that while her sister Kourtney Kardashian and her assistant changed clothes, she went to her computer upstairs and worked. She said she then heard noises at the door, "like footsteps," and asked who was there. No one answered and she called her bodyguard just before 3 a.m. She then saw through the sliding door two people, including "a man of the reception who was strapped [or tied up]."
She said the robbers were two hooded men wearing jackets that read "Police" and that one of them wore a ski mask. She said he spoke to her in French, took her Blackberry and asked where was her ring, which cost $4 million. She told him she did not know but then pointed at the piece of jewelry, which was lying on a bedside table, after he withdrew and pointed a weapon at her.
Kim told police he took the ring and asked her where he could find more jewelry and cash.
Kim tells Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian in the upcoming season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which returns to E! in March, that she feared the robbers would shoot her in the back.
"There's no way out," she told the women. "It makes me so upset to think about it."
According to the report, Kim told police the robbers pushed her onto a bed and emptied her purse, which was lying next to a jewelry box that contained two diamond Cartier bracelets, a Lorraine Schwartz diamond necklace and diamond earrings, gold Jacob necklaces, a gold Rolex watch, a diamond necklace that read "Saint"—the name of her and Kanye West's son, and other pieces.

They tied her up with plastic cables and taped her mouth shut and used tape to bind her legs. They then carried her into the bathroom and put her in the tub.
It was previously reported that one of the rings that was an "upgraded" 20-carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond engagement ring Kanye had given to her in September.
Kim also told police the robbers did not take her cash but did make off with her iPhone 6 and Blackberry.
She said after they left, running, she removed most of her constraints and ran to her friend's room, from which she called Kourtney.
She said she was not injured and would like to file a complaint. When asked if she had anything else to add, Kim reported said she would like to leave and return to her children in the United States, adding that she had a private plane waiting for her.
Last week, French police arrested 17 people, mostly men, suspected to have been involved in the robbery. Four of them were charged, including the brother of the limo driver Kim used while staying in Paris.
Kim largely stepped out of the spotlight and avoided social media for almost three months after the robbery.

Lamar Odom Admits He Wants to Get Back Together With Khloe Kardashian
The former Los Angeles Lakers player opens up about his life post-treatment in a new promo for The Doctors and says he's looking forward to trying to get his ex-wife back. "Going forward, when you look at your life ahead of you, what are you looking forward to?" host Dr. Travis Stork asks Lamar in the clip.
After taking a moment, Lamar candidly admits, "Umm, honestly, I want my wife back."
Lamar and Khloe finalized their divorce in December after seven years of marriage. Their lengthy breakup was certainly tumultuous, with Khloe taking care of Lamar as he recovered from a drug overdose.
Court documents finalizing their split were filed on Dec. 9, 2016, and it was made official Saturday. Khloe had first filed for divorce in 2013, but withdrew her petition last year after Lamar's health scare. She then filed for divorce again in May 2016.
"They are friends and always will be, but they don't talk in the same way they used to," a source shared with E! News. "They became very close after the Vegas incident and obviously Lamar is extremely grateful to Khloe for everything she did for him, but their relationship has undergone a metamorphosis."
While they don't keep in daily contact with each other, the source said there will always be love between them. "There will al
