Hundreds of millionaires are banding together to tell Congress: Raise our taxes
Over 400 millionaires and billionaires from the United States plan to send a letter to Congress this week petitioning on lawmakers not to cut their taxes — but to raise taxes on the wealthy, according to a Washington Post report. Instead of calling for tax cuts for the rich, the letter urges lawmakers not to pass any tax bill that "further exacerbates inequality" and adds to national debt, the article said. The move comes at a time when inequality is at its peak since the 1920s and government debt levels are also high, the Post reported.

What Is Blogging, Actually?
After 14 months of sweating over Wordpress, pouring my heart out to the global blogosphere my mum asks me now?! I of course went into detail with full throttle passion (I can't help it, I am super proud of being a lifestyle blogger) but then thought mmm actually maybe she has a point here. Time to time I have come across people who are kind enough to support, follow and share my posts but deep down aren't sure exactly what it all means or I occasionally see a glazed look when I proudly tell people I am a blogger.

Smart condoms: like Fitbit for sex – and you can even share your stats
Ever wondered how many calories you’re burning in the bedroom? The i.Con condom, which keeps track of your sex stats, could be the answer. You mean they are organic latex and scented with bergamot?

Intensely painful, I’d imagine. Besides, this is no ordinary penis ring.
