Award-winning Half Moon Cay, Holland America Line’s private Bahamian island, celebrated its 15th anniversary this Caribbean cruise season, and to commemorate the milestone the cruise line has enhanced island offerings and features.
Guests to the island will notice five new, colorful, two-story Beach Villas available for rent during each call. The luxury hideaways boast exclusive hot tubs on the second floor and provide private accommodations for guests while they relax and experience the island’s highlights. Other beach cabanas were refreshed, and the Grand Cabana received new décor and a slide from the cabana deck straight into the ocean.

Audi hat heute im ungarischen Györ ein neues Kapitel in seiner Erfolgsgeschichte aufgeschlagen. Zusammen mit dem ungarischen Ministerpräsidenten Viktor Orban gaben Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn, Chef des Volkswagen-Konzerns, und Rupert Stadler, Chef des Audi-Konzerns, den offiziellen Startschuss für die Serienproduktion der Audi A3 Limousine und eröffnetem damit gleichzeitig die jetzt ausgebaute, hochmoderne Fertigungsstätte. Auf einer Fläche von mehr als zwei Millionen Quadratmetern hat Audi damit innerhalb von zwei Jahren eine vollständige Produktion mit Presswerk, Karosseriebau, Lackiererei und Montage errichtet. Insgesamt investierten die Ingolstädter mehr als 900 Millionen Euro in Infrastruktur, Bau und innovative Fertigungsanlagen. „Mit dem Ausbau unseres Werkes hier in Györ hat sich Audi Hungaria zu einem bedeutenden Standbein unseres weltweiten Produktionsnetzwerks entwickelt“, sagte Rupert Stadler. „Damit verfolgen wir konsequent unsere Wachstumsstrategie und stärken unsere internationale Wettbewerbsfähigkeit. Voraussetzung, um unser Ziel zu erreichen, bis 2020 die führende Premium-Marke zu werden.“ Audi Hungaria, dessen Gründung der ebenfalls bei der Feierstunde anwesende Professor Ferdinand Piech angestoßen hatte, feiert in diesem Jahr zudem noch sein 20jähriges Bestehen. Seit dem Start in 1993 entwickelte sich der Standort zum größten Motorenproduzenten der Welt und liefert inzwischen seine Triebwerke an Marken aus dem gesamten Volkswagen-Konzern. In 1998 kam dann die Auto-Montage von den Modellen TT Coupé und TT Roadster hinzu. Mit dem Ausbau folgt nun der dritte Schritt – die komplette Produktion eines Autos, wobei die Jahreskapazität bei 125.000 Einheiten liegt. Mit der Werkserweiterung wurden 2.100 zusätzliche Arbeitsplätze geschaffen, so dass die Belegschaft in dem damals ersten Audi-Standort außerhalb Deutschlands die Belegschaft auf über 9.000 Menschen angewachsen ist. Insgesamt 15.000 Menschen leben somit künftig direkt oder indirekt von dem Audi-Werk.

It’s not just external factors, such as UV exposure and free radicals, that cause our skin to age, there are also processes within our bodies that contribute to skin aging. The scientists at the ARTISTRY Center for Skin Health Research have dedicated countless hours researching extrinsic and intrinsic combatants of the skin. Their findings have led to a new understanding of how skin ages and the production of a crème that can help skin act up to 15 years younger. So after decades of trying to find the fountain of youth, ARTISTRY® Skin Care and Cosmetics may have done so with the creation of Crème LuXury!

More than 15 percent of reproductive-aged women have filled a prescription for an antidepressant medication during the years 2008–2013, according to a new analysis published today in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR).
January is National Birth Defects Prevention Month and the CDC is working with the March of Dimes to raise awareness about the use of antidepressant medications by women of reproductive age, and what women should know and do for their own health and that of their babies. There is conflicting evidence about the potential link between some antidepressants and certain birth defects. Some commonly used antidepressants are sertraline (Zoloft), bupropion (Wellbutrin, Zyban), and citalopram (Celexa).

Portland, Oregon has the best preterm birth rate of the top 100 cities with the most births nationwide, while Shreveport, Louisiana has the worst, according to the 2015 March of Dimes Premature Birth Report Card, which for the first time graded cities and counties around the nation and revealed persistent racial, ethnic and geographic disparities within states.
The U.S. preterm birth rate ranks among the worst of high-resource countries, the March of Dimes says. Worldwide, 15 million babies are born preterm, and nearly one million die due to early birth or its complications. Babies who survive an early birth often face serious and lifelong health problems, including breathing problems, jaundice, vision loss, cerebral palsy and intellectual delays.

An estimated 15 million babies around the world are born premature each year and more than one million of them do not survive their early birth. Although the United States has seen sustained improvement in its preterm birth rate, it has one of the highest rates of preterm birth of any industrialized country.
Next month, organizations and individuals around the globe will observe Prematurity Awareness Month and World Prematurity Day. World-famous photographer Anne Geddes, and international superstars Thalia and Hilary Duff, will join other celebrity parents to spread the word that premature birth is a very serious health problem for babies worldwide.
