Hair pulling: Also known as trichotillomania, individuals with this impulse-control disorder have the uncontrollable urge to pull out hair from their head, eyebrows, eyelashes, or arms. The urge is often triggered by feelings of anxiety.
The company's latest project, AmazonSmile, makes this at least partly true. Starting Wednesday, when Amazon customers shop on a new version of the company's website â smile.amazon.com â the company will donate 0.5% of the purchase price to charity.
Also, although these deals are only available to Prime members, Amazon offers 30-day free trials of the US service at Amazon.com/prime. The company is planning other activities on its birthday, July 16, to celebrate 20 years of reading, according to the spokeswoman, to honor Amazon's origin as an online bookstore.
