100 Myths Explained That May Turn Your World Upside Down

If these 100 common misconceptions really are false, I have to ask the question, “What is life?”, because everything adults taught me as a kid was fabricated to keep me in check, apparently.

I “can” swim right after I eat, sugar “is not” responsible for hyperactivity, and it “does not” take seven years to digest gum.  Mind blowing myths are everywhere, creating misunderstandings about everything from diet to sex.

We don’t even have five senses. We have many, many more, something like 20!

What? How?

Consider that Vitamin C does not help to prevent colds, carrots do not improve your vision, and cracking your knuckles does not lead to future health risks like arthritis.

Furthermore, “Chinese” fortune cookies originated in “Japan”, and China’s Great Wall is not the only man-made object that can be seen from space because big city lights are the most prominent human invention that can be seen from our outer reaches.

Also, although Napoleon was 5’7″, the “Little Corporal” was taller than the average Frenchman during his reign. George Washington did not have wooden teeth; they were gold and ivory with a few horse and donkey choppers in there. That is quite a grill! And there is no evidence that Vikings had horned helmets, and cowboy hats were not a part of the Western American frontier.

Apologizes to those heavy-hearts who are stunned that our history classes and homes were full of fabrications, but you now have the truth that will hopefully set us and future generations free.

Your Brain On Beer vs Coffee

Let’s pretend that there aren’t enough half baked metaphors that describe the college experience and try to entertain this one: getting your degree is like walking a tight rope with a beer in one hand and coffee in the other. Even if you don’t drink and aren’t that keen on coffee. Well you really don’t even have to be a college student either. (Though you might want a fancy coffee holder) The point I’m trying to make here is that there is a delicate balance concerning when to relax and when to get down to business.

This raises some interesting questions though. With the knowledge that we have about like alcohol and caffeine, despite their drawbacks it seems that there is supposedly a way to responsibly maximize their benefits. If that’s true then it makes you wonder, are we missing our full potential by not taking the right boosters at the right time?

Well it would seem that way in theory, but there are plenty of people who are doing great things without the help. Then you have someone like Charles Bukowski. He was featured in an infographic last week about sleep habits and productivity. While being the latest to wake up every morning at noon (which even that seems a little early for him) he was also one of the more productive writers and a very committed alcoholic. There is a natural tension and release in life that can be intensified by stimulants or depressants, but whether or not this is conducive to a more fruitful lifestyle is a very difficult question.

The Fascinating Bitcoin Journey Through $10k

In 2017, Bitcoin found its way into world consciousness. Even those who did not care to know about the mysterious currency were forced to take notice as its value skyrocketed, and major news sources began heavily covering the history and outcomes of the mystical electronic coin.

A year ago bitcoin hit the $1,000 mark and continued to spike upward throughout the year before breaking the $10,000 mark on November 28, 2017.  It went on to flirt with $20,000 in December, before taking a breather.

Bitcoin is no longer just a whimsical form of currency used for corrupt means on the dark web (which is definitely a part of its current state and past history) or a way for F Society-type rebels to shun the dollar as well as the national economy. Its ascent has whipped up those with FOMO into a frenzy.

More businesses are starting to accept Bitcoin directly, and those who don’t may be falling behind. In fact, Overstock began accepting bitcoins in January 2014, allowing customers to buy everything from flat screens and laptops to bedding and rugs. They actually accepts other major cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum and Litecoin. Large brands like Expedia and Dish Network also led the way in 2014.

Bitcoin’s rise is nothing short of astounding (tulip mania anyone?)   In 2010, one bitcoin was worth 6 cents, but very few people thought anything of the digital currency.  On January 1, 2011, bitcoin’s value sat at 30 cents, so at the time, a $100 investment in it would have resulted in you having an electronic pocket full of 333.33 coins.

It has been a wild and random ride full of ups and downs, but if you had 333.33 bitcoins purchased in 2011, that you didn’t sell or lose through hackings, your $100 investment would now be worth nearly $3.8 million.

As a Business Insider headliner exclaimed, 10,000 bitcoins could buy two pizzas in 2010, but is now worth $100 million.

The World’s Deadliest Spiders

Arachnophobia, or the fear of spiders, is the second top phobia in the U.S.  In most cases, this fear is irrational, as most spiders are non-venomous and relatively harmless.  However, if you ever come across any of these spiders, it would be perfectly rational to be afraid because these are the spiders with the most dangerous bites.

On this list there are probably some familiar names, such as the tarantula and the black widow.  While both are infamous, both are far from the deadliest spiders in the world.  In fact, despite its large size and infamous reputation, the tarantula doesn’t even have a fatal bite for those who aren’t allergic.  For most, a tarantula bite doesn’t result in anything worse than an itchy rash.  The black widow on the other hand is much deadlier, as its bite produces a litany of undesirable symptoms such as fever or breathing problems, and an untreated bite may lead to death if not tended to within an hour.

While that seems like a dangerous bite, it’s certainly not the most dangerous.  The Brazilian Wandering Spider, native to northern South America, has a venomous bite that must be treated within thirty minutes.  A single bite can cause paralysis, chills, asphyxiation, and as if that wasn’t enough, it even causes painful erections!

Just like spiders, snakes are known for how venomous some of their species can be.  Brush up on identifying and treating dangerous snake bites while you’re on the topic.

The Introvert’s Guide To Job Interviews

If you’re the kind of person who feels comfortable in a room filled with people, making small talk with strangers and mingling around,
then this one is not for you. On the other hand, if you’d rather stay at home chilling with your cat and a great book, you’re probably an introvert!

Luckily, you’re not alone on the introvert boat. Research says that an approximate of 25 to 50 percent of the global population could be classified as introverts. This personality type gets energized from having “alone time”, or interacting with small groups, and often feels overwhelmed in new situations or very large groups of people. Introverts and extroverts have different brain wiring, and even career prospects can change depending on your personality.

As an introverted person, appearing friendly, meeting new people and being outgoing is often a challenge, so imagine my state of mind whenever I need to go to a job interview. To get rid of anxiety, I try to prepare interview question answers ahead of time.  I might even do a couple of test runs to the interview address to be *really* sure I have the time to get there.

These might seem like overkill or pure common sense, but you and I know there’s no such thing as too much preparation! To save you stress on your big day, here’s a quick guide to acing your interviews: from what to do beforehand, to the basics of showcasing your strengths (without bragging!) and how to follow up afterward. You’ll win your dream job in the blink of an eye!

Visualizing Big Data Using Big Macs

There is a massive amount of data out there. Surprisingly, it is theorized that 90% of all data in the world has been created in just the past few years.

If used correctly, big data can help almost any company, even the small ones (here are the tips for small businesses), to grow rapidly and generate huge revenue. There are also other benefits such as stemming the spread of diseases, combatting crime, and providing optimized entertainment. The potential of big data is endless.

But let’s put aside the complicated things for something a little more entertaining. Why not turn bytes into grams and calories? To help get a handle on the magnitude of big data, this infographic uses scales that we can understand. It equates data sizes to weights and then calories, so you can get a sense of how data has grown proportionally.

If 1 megabyte equals 1 gram, a floppy disk would have the same weight as 7 peas, while an 80-Minute CD-ROM Disc could weigh around 4-Wham O Ultimate Frisbees.

What about the modern ones? As the technology develops, a small device can have significant memory storage. For instance, an Apple iPad Air 2 would weigh the same as 11 peacocks, and an Xbox One would weigh as much as 5 Genuine Buddy 150 Scooters.

Now, let’s assume that 1 gigabyte equals 1 pound and by the time you finished reading that about one second had passed. One second might seems small to you, but one second of global Internet traffic is not. In fact, it would weigh the same as 12 adult male cows.

Now you know why they call it big data!

50 Annoying Phrases To Avoid At Work

When language fails us at work, we can always rely on common phrases to fill the silence. They are often a cacophony of metaphors strung together to confuse you into thinking work is being done.
Such as the following:

“Let’s get the ball rolling and do a deep dive; then we can start to get our ducks in a row. This could be a game changer and we need to hit the ground running.”

Sound familiar? Like something from the office that requires its own Rosetta Stone tape? That is exactly what’s wrong with overusing metaphors to replace real conversation.

They lack clarity and make it easy to say something whilst also saying nothing at all. Plus, if you’re on the receiving end and you don’t really get metaphors, you might find yourself trying to source some ducks and roll balls down a hallway.

In order to avoid the phrases in this infographic, you need to say exactly what you mean, which requires actual knowledge about your chosen topic or work task. If you don’t have this knowledge, perhaps it’s best to say very little and ask for help from someone who does know what they’re doing.

Ideally, do not pick the person who uses phrases like “drill down”, “no brainer” or “low hanging fruit”. It is unlikely that this person will be able to help you.

Eat With Caution: The World’s Most Dangerous Foods

Food is brings people joy. You can bond over food, socialize over food, and survive off of food. Well, not all of it. There are foods in the world that have major consequences to your body.

Today’s infographic is a list of the world’s most dangerous foods. These foods have caused organ failure, poisoning, and even death.

One of the most dangerous foods on this list comes from China, and is called the Blood Clam. Blood Clams are so dangerous that they cause viruses such as hepatitis A and dysentery. In 1988, 31 people died from eating these clams. 15% of people who consume blood clams gain some sort of infection.

Elderberries are a food that you must be extremely cautious with when preparing. You can eat these, but you must take a series of steps to eat them. You cannot eat these berries with the leaves, twigs, or seeds. These all contain cyanide which is an extremely dangerous chemical. People who have consumed elderberries have suffered from seizures which is never a good thing.

I highly recommend that if you ever come across these foods, avoid them at all costs. I don’t want anyone to get sick or injured if they consume these foods. Hopefully, if you see these foods anywhere, you will keep this infographic in mind. Eat well, eat smart, and eat healthy!

Should I Go To The Gym?

New year, new you, right? Yes, 2017 was a bit of a dumpster fire globally, politically, even socially some might say. But with a new year brings new opportunities, challenges and ways to grow.
And perhaps you woke up on January 1 feeling energised and ready to take on the world, one self-improvement task at a time, and you decided to begin with the gym. Physical exercise is key to having a healthier, happier life after all.

Plus, you know the gym, you understand the gym, there are no surprises at the gym; unless you go to a new one, obviously. But getting to the gym can be tricky, as this flow chart demonstrates. Sometimes our innermost desires are not completely matched up with our motivation to do the thing we need to do. Sometimes burning calories can be more of a chore than say, doing anything else. And sometimes procrastination just wins everything because it has had more practice.

Ultimately, it’s almost the end of January and your will to physically goto the gym is draining.  You might even have found gym rats at the gym a little irritating because they actually seem genuinely happy about going to the gym.  All you need is some excuses, so here they are.  Maybe you can figure out how to work out at work instead.

100 Myths Explained That May Turn Your World Upside Down[/7 Techniques To Remember Anythingu]

At first glance, memorization seems like a fundamental skill Google is doing away with.  Getting through life successfully is still difficult without memorization though.  You need to memorize information for major tests, school/business presentations, and enough knowledge to at least make you sound smart. The problem is, memorization is getting easier and easier to ignore.  To really stand out and remember details quickly,here are techniques to improve memory.

If you’re needing to memorize a speech, pretend you’re walking through your house. You know every room, every direction to turn to, and every detail in each room. Treat your speech like this walk through your house. It’s a technique called Loci. Divide the information of your speech like the rooms in your house. Keep retracing your steps to keep that information retained.

A technique that I’m going to try in the future is called the PQRST technique. This technique helps with memorization for an exam. The acronym PQRST stands for, “Preview, Question, Read, State, Test.” If you follow the steps used for this technique, you should be able to easily retain information and retrieve it with ease.

I hope you can use the techniques in this infographic to become a master of memorization. If you need more tips for exams, check out this ultimate cheat sheet for studying.

Your Life In Numbers: How Do You Use Your Time

Have you ever wondered how much time you spend sleeping in a lifetime?  How about how much time you spend in school? Seeing how you spend the time you are given is eye opening.  By far you will spend the most amount of time sleeping, as the average person will sleep around 33 years throughout their lives.  Given that the average life span is just under  80 years, you spend close to 40% of your life just sleeping!  With such a large chunk of life already taken up just by sleep, it’s important to make the rest of your years count.

With phones and computers everywhere, it seems impossible to get away from screens.  The average person spends about 11 years and 4 months looking at screens via TV, social media, or other activities.  Shockingly, this is only about two years shy of the total amount of time we spend at work: about 13 years and 2 months.  On the other hand, activities like romance, socializing, and exercising each only take up a little over one year of our lives.  Really makes you think about what you’re doing with your time doesn’t it?

Often times, we can become complacent with our lives, choosing safe or convenient activities like watching Netflix, or settling for a job you don’t like instead of more challenging but more rewarding activities like pursuing your dream or finding your soulmate.  However, as this infographic shows, our time on this earth is limited, and we must do our best to spend it to the best of our abilities.

Superlove: The Romantic Relationships of Marvel’s Finest

Superheroes are people too. Well, sort of. Yes, they have powers beyond all of our imaginations and they get to revel in the glory of adoring crowds when they save the human race or whatever, but they also have trash love lives.

Don’t believe it? Check out this infographic. It’s clear evidence that superhero love lives are as messy as ours, if not worse. And we don’t even have the competing priorities of love and the future of mankind to contend with.

Nevertheless, Wolverine, Iron Man and even She-Hulk seem to have had their pick of the bunch from the looks of it. No surprises about Wolverine; he’s all primitive and immortal, definitely one to swipe right on. Iron Man obviously has all the gadgets and money and is 95% human except for his heart, so he has that versatility going for him. And She-Hulk quite frankly is the very definition of a strong woman, and you’re fine as long as you’re not the one who makes her angry.

Honestly, this diagram is just a very clear indication of what happens when your social circle is too small; people date other people’s exes and there’s a good chance you’ll get hurt in the process (if not by someone with super strength, then simply via a broken heart). And beauty may only be skin deep.  Luckily for us mere mortals, we just have the small pool of millions and millions of average partners to choose from. Which is just super.

The Truth About Millennials And Financial Milestones

We lived the consequences of economic crisis, we’ve lived through tough times, we’ve seen households and coompanies fall and rise from the ashes… and apparently, we have learned nothing. According to recent research, millennials are mostly concerned about their financial future… and that’s about it. Anxiety about everything, without actually doing something to improve our peace of mind. That’s destructive behavior 101, at least according to my therapist.

So what exactly do millennials want to achieve? Apparently, it all comes down to “traditional” life goals such as getting married, having kids, building a successful career and buying a house. And for all of those dreams, we need money. A lot of money that as millennials we don’t have.

That big gap between wishing and actually achieving is, in fact, one of the reasons for our constant state of anxiety and stress. Between the lack of money and a lackluster financial education, it’s no wonder we feel very far from accomplishing those dreams.

The answer? Even when other things seem to go first, think about your financial future and have a plan. Stay on top of your bills and live by your budget (if you don’t have one, make one!). Basically, do everything you can to start adulting and being financially smart.

The Barista’s Guide to Latte Art

Nothing satisfies me more than a warm cup of coffee in the morning. What’s even nicer than a warm cup of coffee? A warm cup of coffee with a stunning image on top. Latte art has been a huge hit in coffee shops around the world, and this infographic tells you all about the process.

Latte art became popularized around 1996 by David Schomer. He is a Seattle-based barista who brought latte art to the masses in his book entitled, “Espresso Coffee.”

Of course, you are going to need coffee grounds and a coffee machine to make your own latte art, but you’ll need a few other tools. The pictures drawn on the latte are made of milk. In order to get this milk warmed up and whipped, you’ll need a steaming wand or frother to get that fluffy consistency. You’ll also need a small steaming pitcher to pour the milk onto the latte. Last but not least, you’ll need the classic bowl-shaped mug to bring your art to life.

Don’t be discouraged if you’re latte art doesn’t turn out how you want it. It will take a few attempts to get your ideal visual. Take it
from professional barista Ben Morrow, “Persistence, patience, and practice…”

I hope you can get inspired to make your own coffee creations. I know that I’ll be trying to make my own in the future. If you’re still needing a caffeine fix, check out the complete history of coffee.

The Science Behind Disconnecting From Work

It’s the weekend and that means no work, no stress, and some time to rejuvenate. Right? If you’ve ever felt guilty about watching Netflix instead of writing an email back to your boss, then this infographic is for you.

Thinking that you’ll be more productive by constantly working is false. According to the infographic, the result of working 60 hours a week for two months is the same as working 40 hours a week, measured in levels of productivity. The mind needs time to refresh in the same way that your body needs rest after a long day.

Since humans tend to deprive themselves of these mental breaks, work is the number one cause of sleep loss in adults. This stress also contributes to 382 billion dollars lost in American business each year, as well as problems with personal relationships off the clock. Other problems that could arise from overworking are glaucoma, caused by temporary eyestrain, depression and an increased risk of heart attacks in working men.

In contrast, disconnecting from work could mean an improvement in memory, problem solving and job performance ratings. Most fascinating of all is the fact that when workaholics take a break, they report higher job satisfaction and improved work/life balance.

If you would like to challenge yourself to take a break, you have options. Many of these options include separating your work and personal life, whether that be by having a separate work space in your home or a different phone for work versus your personal life. While at work, you can delegate tasks and create a to-do list, especially if overtime is likely. Finally, you can create peaceful outlets by meditating, finding a hobby, and/or going somewhere that makes you happy.

So, turn off your phone or mute your notifications, and spend some time with family and friends. It’s the weekend, which means it’s time to take some time to focus on L-I-V-I-N’.

The Netflix Shows You Won’t Mind Bingeing

It’s safe to say that Netflix had a successful 2017. People tuned in to watch new TV shows like American Vandal, Ozark, the Defenders, the Punisher, and so on. Additionally, we got long-awaited continuations for some of the best Netflix original series like Stranger Things, Black Mirror, Narcos. However, the biggest buzz came from the first Netflix original blockbuster movie called Bright. Sure, the critics didn’t embrace it as much as the audience did, but who cares. The movie did enough to get the green light for the sequel.

However, what interests me the most are those juicy facts about what were the most watched TV shows, which shows were binged the most.  Remember how Netflix can help relationships?  There’s nothing like an all consuming show to watch snuggled up to a significant other.

Did you know that one member watched Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl every single day in 2017? Or that a user on Antarctica binged through entire Shameless TV series in one sitting? Huge props to both of these users. The best part, these facts are not the only outrageous ones, as you will find out from this infographic.

7 Speaking Habits To Make You Sound Smarter

When you meet someone for the first time, they want to get a read on you. They look at the way you stand, what you’re wearing, and how you’re speaking to them. People put together clues about you just from a first impression.

The way you speak can determine how intelligent people think you are.   If you think you need to sound smarter when you speak, here are a few helpful tips.

Posture is very noticeable when speaking to others. If you’re slouched, you give off the impression that you are uncomfortable and unsure of yourself. Stand straight with a relaxed spine to stay comfortable and mentally relaxed when speaking to others.

Pay attention to the tone of your voice. If you sound monotone or give off vocal fry, you sound bored. You sound like you don’t care about the person you are talking to. Keep your vocal frequencies lively and fit them to the conversation you’re having.

You know the old saying, “If you don’t have something nice to say, then don’t saying anything at all.” In this case, don’t butt into conversations that you don’t have full knowledge of. This makes others think you are rude and a know-it-all. If you want to contribute to a similar conversation, try making common ground so you become more familiar with the topic at hand.

This infographic can help you gain confidence in your speech as well as comfortability. If you need some more speaking tips, here are ways to master the art of public speaking.

Some people think that love is a trap, but it’s not true. A lease is. A lease is a legally binding trap; particularly when you share the lease with someone you have just broken up with.

If you live in a city or any heavily populated area, you’ll already know how hard it is to find a good place to rent, and looking with a second person is even harder. But people do it all the time. They meet someone, they fall in love, and then one person wakes up one day and says “Hey! Let’s live together, it’ll be great!” Both people, innocent in their dreamy love, have forgotten that looking for a place to live is stressful, and compromising is stressful, and moving house is one of the most stressful things we can do in life after death and divorce. Yet still, it happens, people sign a lease, and all seems well until it isn’t.

We all know good and well that you never really know someone until you live with them. And sometimes love just isn’t enough. So break-ups happen, but your lease does not care, and now you can’t afford to live alone.

So if you’re going through it, let this infographic prepare you for what’s to come, and for the sticky situation you will eventually, happily, get out of. Once all the papers are signed, obviously.

Then you can think about how to have an amazing looking home at a low cost.

10 Foods That Are Great For Building Muscle

I have to give a shout out to anyone who’s stuck to a diet through the holiday season. My daily food intake has been mostly eggnog and pumpkin pie, but I’m trying to do better in the new year.  Probably time to pick up foods that will turn my fat into muscle!


This infographic gives me a great place to start. If you’re looking for protein, the team at Strength Authority has the answer.  To really bulk up, increasing exercise and calories in addition to adding protein are equally important.

Unsurprisingly, beef, chicken and fish are all great sources of protein. Beef has a whopping 38 grams of protein per five-ounce serving, while chicken has 47 grams per serving.

If you’re a vegetarian, there are still options for you to gain some muscle. Brown rice, eggs, oats and sweet potatoes are all great sources of protein.  This might even help you solve that most commonly asked question, where do you get your protein?

For a nutrient-rich breakfast, try milk, cottage cheese, or greek yogurt. It isn’t always easy to trade unhealthy foods for healthier options, but there are benefits to a protein-filled diet. Protein can be a superfood for weight loss and help reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

Even if you’re short on time, there are some ways to make your quick meals healthier, like adding protein powder.  Or check out some healthy hacks for takeout and microwaved meals.

These Social Media Trends Are On The Rise In 2018

There’s no doubt social media will remain center-stage in our lives this year, but what type of content will make you shine this coming year?Unsurprisingly, video will remain the preferred vehicle for information. By 2020, around 80 percent of global internet traffic will be attributed to video, so it’s smart to get in right away! Choosing video makes sense when we look at the stats: almost 95 percent of video messages are retained by viewers, compared to only 10 percent of text content. Who wouldn’t want a piece of that?

Another trend? Generation Z is filled with true digital natives, with more than 30 percent using YouTube, 25 percent using Instagram and 14 percent using Snapchat. This year also brings good news for every content maker out there: investment in influencers is on the rise across all platforms and has even trumped classic email marketing campaigns. The increase in investment has its reasons: influencers can increase your conversion rates tenfold. Not bad in our book!

Another trend that won’t comes as a surprise? Smartphones gain more popularity every day, and by the end of the year, the world will see nearly 2.5 billion of them in use. That’s why social media platforms are developing better functioning mobile versions: more than 50 percent of screen time in the U.S. is on the phone, so it’s only logical mobile versions need to be up to the task. We wish you luck creating winning content this year!

Super Bowl LII: History In The Making

Here we are, at Super Bowl Sunday. Breakout the pizza and beers, hang out with friends, and watch the biggest football game of the year. This year, the New England Patriots will be taking on the Philadelphia Eagles to see who will reign supreme.

The Super Bowl first occurred in the year 1967. Since then, there have 19 teams who have gone on to win the title, some more than once. My favorite team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, reign supreme with 6 Super Bowl titles under their belt. Who knows, maybe New England will tie up with them after today!

One of the reasons some viewers like to watch the Super Bowl is their ridiculous commercials. The Super Bowl is advertiser’s golden opportunity to sell a product. Last year alone, TV advertisers gained 5.05 million dollars from their commercials. Franchises kill the advertising game this time of year.

Speaking of spending, the Super Bowl is considered to be one of the largest consumer spending days of the year. The U.S. spent 14.1 billion dollars on the Super Bowl in 2017. This accounts for food, drinks, decorations, and more.

This is going to be an intense game, and I personally can’t pick a winner. Not familiar with American football? The history of the Super Bowl is a long and storied one, not without controversy surrounding the game itself and potential injuries.  For most of America though, and perhaps some of the rest of the world, it is a prime time sports event of the year.

Have a great time at your Super Bowl watch party!

How To Improve Your Emotional Intelligence And Communicate Well

When I was in school, there were two types of people: those with street smarts and those with book smarts. Emotional intelligence wasn’t included in either category or even discussed at all. Yet it can be a strong predictor of happiness.

What is emotional intelligence, commonly known as EI?  It doesn’t have much to do with manners — instead, it’s the ability to effectively use, understand, and manage your emotions.

Today’s graphic introduces a flow chart that can help you map out how emotionally intelligent you may be based on a few scenarios. It offers eight possible ratings of your strengths and weaknesses. The graphic told me that I manage my feelings well, but could work on perceiving emotions and using them effectively. Something interesting to consider: I may answer the questions differently depending on my mood.

This infographic offers many ways to improve your emotional weaknesses, so take advantage of the suggestions. If you need to improve your EI, the graphic suggests asking yourself probing questions and taking a step back. If you need to work on understanding and perceiving emotions, the graphic suggests giving yourself time to reflect and to observe strangers and create narratives based on what they might be thinking. Finally, the graphic says that if you need work on managing emotions, you should douse your face in cold water because it can reduce anxiety levels

Learn More About Online Dating Trends and Insights

We’re living in a digital world. Thanks to smartphones, everything constantly at our fingertips. We no longer have to go to stores to shop, sit in restaurants to order food, or even go places to meet people. There’s an app for that.

As of 2016, 15 percent of American adults claimed that they’ve used online dating sites and mobile dating apps, and the number is growing. Europe has the highest user acquisition cost, meaning app creators spend the most amount of money when trying to acquire dating app customers. North America had both the lowest user acquisition cost and the highest subscription rate. Asia ranked somewhere in between the continents for both categories.

Just as North America, Asia, and Europe have differing trends, men and women respond differently to dating apps. While it costs more for companies to market their dating apps to women and to convince them to install said apps, women are much more likely to register and subscribe to these apps than men. The usage of android devices and apple devices has an impact, too. Women registered for dating apps nearly twice as frequently as men on both Android and Apple devices.

When it gets warm outside, dating apps get more active. The months June through September each see more activity in comparison to the rest of the year, although January is an outlier. Perhaps this is connected with some New Year’s resolutions?

Another observation is that user engagement drops significantly once it comes to dating app subscriptions. It typically takes an entire week for users to install, register and subscribe to dating apps. How do you see these trends changing in the future?

How Competitive Parents Affect A Child’s Sportsmanship

Extracurricular activities like school clubs and athletic teams are seen as an integral part of growing up in American society. Sometimes, though, it’s the parents of young athletes that need the most coaching.
According to a survey conducted by CoachUp, 75 percent of coaches claim that most parents put too much emphasis on their child winning the game rather than loving the game. The enjoyment that a child gets from a sport should not be dependent on winning or losing.

Additionally, 95 percent of coaches say that they’ve witnessed a parent yelling at a referee during their child’s game. This can be both embarrassing to your child and harmful to their team’s spirit. In contrast, 80 percent of coaches say that it’s best for a parent to offer encouragement from the sidelines. If you want your child to show respect and good sportsmanship, you must embody these same traits on the sidelines. After all, these qualities could be the difference between a successful or an unsuccessful person later on in life.

Finally, always take the time to parent rather than to coach your child. Three in four coaches agree that when parents coach a child’s team, it can place a strain on the parent-child relationship. So pop a squat on the bleachers and cheer on little Johnny from afar. Get some ice cream after the game and remember to encourage your child, win or lose.

How To Extend The Lifespan Of Your Digital Content

Having a digital presence as a business owner has never been more important.  If you don’t have a website or social media following, it’s nearly impossible for potential customers to find you.

This Is What Happens When You Fall In Love

Feeling anxious? Experiencing a loss of appetite? Struggling to get a good night’s sleep? I hate to break it to you, but you might just be in love.

If there isn’t a special someone in your life, you might want to seek medical attention for all those symptoms, but if there is, then you’ve got little to fear — except for lovesickness and possible heartbreak.

Love is not simply the butterflies in your stomach or the songs that remind you of your crush. It also brings hormonal changes that can cause problems, distractions, and mood changes. Serotonin and dopamine are involved during the first stages, which is really your body’s way of letting you know that you’re about to take a big trip down lover’s lane.

Although science is involved, you do have some control over the situation. Apparently, proximity, eye contact and being in danger with someone can all increase your feelings of attraction and eventually love toward someone. If you don’t want to fall in love, prioritize personal space, stare at the floor when having a conversation and never walk along a shaky bridge with someone attractive. Problem solved.

An Easy Guide To On-Screen Character Archetypes

Do you ever watch a film and think, “I could have done better! There’s two hours of my life I’ll never get back!” That’s easily remedied — just become a screenwriter.

You might have to go back to school and learn about film from the experts, but what’s two or three years of education compared to watching another bad film?

But first things first: You need to know how to write the best characters. You might be harboring fantasies of basing your villain someone you dislike, but they need to fit the bill. Do you want an Every Person character, one who fades into the background but has a cynicism that could become concerning? Or maybe a classic Ruler, someone completely obsessed with control who eventually wants to form their own dictatorship?

This infographic is exactly what you need to exact revenge on all those who have wronged you by writing them into your very first screenplay and casting them as a villain or a doomed protagonist. And of course, you can base the hero on yourself. It’s your film, after all. Whether you’re a pro or just starting out, this infographic will help you master character archetypes.

How Does Your Smile Affect Your Chances Of Falling In Love?

It’s no secret that a nice smile can make someone seem more attractive, but how carefully do people look at your pearly whites on a date?
A whopping 60% of men say that good teeth are the “most important consideration in a potential date,” and 71% of women rank teeth as the “most important factor in deciding to date someone.” Who knew that the appearance of your teeth could actually have a serious impact on your dating life?

When looking at pictures of people with straight teeth and people with crooked teeth, those with straight teeth were judged as 45% more likely to get a job and 58% more likely to be successful and wealthy. It makes some sense that straight teeth may be an indication of wealth because dental care can get pricey! However, people with straight teeth were voted 57% more likely to attract a mate over people, and 2 in 5 people admit they would not consider going on a second date with someone because of their crooked teeth. That’s even shallower than a cavity.

It’s normal to have your teeth yellow or darken, but these attributes can be perceived as a mark of old age by men looking for a partner. If your teeth aren’t perfect, though, keep calm and smile on. Small flaws in your teeth can be “endearingly individual,” and more and more celebrities are proudly rocking the gap-toothed grin.

Additionally, there are several ways you can make your smile brighter, like using lemons. If all else fails, brush your teeth, floss daily and finish off your routine with some mouthwash. Nothing is more attractive than someone who knows how to take care of themselves.

50 Unbelievable Facts About Chinese New Year

The holiday season feels already like a distant memory, but we’re not done yet. The Chinese New Year falls on February 16, 2018 this year, ending all winter holidays, so get ready to party!

Today’s infographic showcases 50 little-known facts about the Chinese New Year. Did you know that, even though it changes every year, the first day of the New Year always falls between January 21 and February 21?

Another cool thing? The holiday lasts longer than western New Year celebrations, which typically only last a night. The Chinese counterpart goes on for 15 days, and ends with the well-known lantern festival that has become the main icon of the festivities.

So why exactly do the Chinese celebrate the new year at a different time than the rest of the world? It all comes down to calendars. Western society measures time with the solar calendar, while China (and other Asian countries) still use the Lunar Calendar in combination with the solar one.

So are you planning on celebrating this year? Get ready by paying all your debts and staying away from the shower: Old debts are a bad omen for the new year and washing your hair also washes away the good luck of the new year.   It’s also traditional to greet your friends, colleagues and neighbors with lucky new years blessings.  Now grab your lantern and Happy New Year!

Learn More About Ice Cream, America’s Favorite Treat

When I’m stressed out, I always look for a sweet treat to indulge in, and ice cream seems to do the trick every time. Here are some sweet facts about the delicacy that is ice cream. Ice cream supposedly dates back all the way to the fifth century because Ancient Greeks liked to indulge in a treat that was similar to ice cream. Ice cream was finally introduced to America in the 1700s, and has grown in popularity ever since.

As if you needed another reason to look forward to summer, July is National Ice Cream Month! July earned the title in 1984, and we’ve all been celebrating since.

The U.S. may love its ice cream, but not as much as New Zealand. New Zealand is said to consume 7.5 gallons of ice cream per capita every year. The U.S. trails behind with 5.5 gallons. Australia claims the bronze with 4.8 gallons, while Finland and Sweden love ice cream equally, consuming 3.8 gallons per capita a year.

When you eat ice cream, you may experience that dreaded brain freeze. Did you know brain freeze occurs when ice cream touches the roof of your mouth?

Whether you’re 5 or 75, you can always enjoy a scoop of ice cream. For my fellow ice cream fanatics, here’s what ice cream from around the world looks like. Happy eating!

How To Drink Alcohol And Still Lose Weight

Going out seems impossible when you’re on a diet. After all, fitness is all about eating your veggies and avoiding unnecessary calories. Or is it?
It turns out partying with friends and having a few drinks isn’t going to throw away all your efforts if you do it wisely.

First things first: one calorie-laden food isn’t going to destroy your fitness journey. After all, you won’t get instantly healthy after eating a single salad, and you won’t destroy your progress by choosing to treat yourself. The key is enjoying everything in moderation.

Whether you’re bar-hopping or ordering a drink at a restaurant, beware of hidden calories: You should make sure you know everything going into your cocktail. You can also change up the way you splurge. If you’d rather go all out and choose a big hamburger, pick a healthier drink, and if you’re choosing a modest meal, feel free to indulge on your drink of choice.

Your best choice for getting tipsy and still developing a hot bod? Go for hard liquor: After all, vodka is the drink of choice for supermodels, so follow in their footsteps! You can also order whiskey, gin or rum. If you’re in the mood for a cocktail, memorize some healthy choices from this infographic and you’ll be fine. Now that you know what to pick, have fun and stay safe!

This Is How You Can Become A Morning Person

How upbeat do you feel after waking up? If the answer is ‘not very,’ then you are probably not a morning person.

You want to be productive in the morning, and sometimes you succeed. But it never lasts. You love the snooze button, and you’ll do anything to get a few more minutes of sleep. According to this infographic, that’s a big no-no. Hitting snooze interrupts your sleep cycle and actually leaves you feeling more stressed when you do finally get up. No rest for the wicked, it seems.

Still, you can become a morning person if you’re willing to put in the work. Of course, in order to do that, you need to get up. That means not hitting the snooze button. Difficult, I know.

Perhaps we can look at the other things a morning person does. Exercise? Uh-huh. Meditation? Sure. Reading the newspaper? Ugh. At least coffee is part of being a morning person, and us night owls can agree on the benefits of caffeine all day.

In conclusion, becoming a morning person is hard work that takes a lot of practice. As a night owl, I think I might just succumb to my preference for sleeping in.

Left-Handedness In The U.S. Is On The Rise

Apparently, only 12 percent of the U.S. is left-handed, but that number sounds low. What if the rest are just hiding to avoid the stigma of being left-handed?

And yes, the stigma still exists. If you’re a lefty, you can attest to the snickers you received from classmates after smudging ink or lead on your hand.

Why is this, you ask? We don’t have an answer, but we can guess that lefties face scrutiny because there aren’t as many of them. The good news is that left-handedness has been on the rise since the 1800s, so lefties aren’t as isolated as they once were. It used to be a big point of contention though, so as children, some left-handers would teach themselves to use their right hand until it eventually became the dominant one.

Yet another classic tale of how some narrow-minded people like to stamp out difference, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Therefore, I am not convinced that only 12 percent of the U.S. population is left-handed. If anything, it’s possible that there are hoards of fake right-handers out there keeping their identity a secret.

15 Delicious Snacks From Countries Around The World

When hunger strikes, you have to do what you can to satisfy it. What satisfies hunger more than a snack? Whether it’s an apple or a piece of chocolate, snacks can do wonders for your hungry cravings. Have you wondered what people around the world like to snack on? Here are 15 snacks from various countries that are sure to leave you yearning for something to munch on.

A personal favorite snack of mine? Tamales from Mexico. After living near the Mexican border for 10 years, I was able to indulge in many of the savory snacks. Tamales are a combination of meat, veggies and cheese wrapped in a corn husk. They are a traditional food used to celebrate Dia De Los Muertos (or Day of the Dead). If you haven’t tasted a tamale before, treat yourself to one!

Have you ever flown on a plane and gotten a complementary caramel wafer? These wafers are called Stroopwafels and they come from the Netherlands. They’re similar to a flattened ice cream cone. They’re delicious!

The world is filled with wonderful snacks, and if you’re willing to travel, you may be able to experience them all one day. If you’re curious about other international foods, here’s the world in ice cream. Happy eating!

Things You Probably Don’t Know About The 2018 Winter Olympics

he 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics are winding down, but this year’s Games have brought exciting events and athletes with captivating storylines to your television screen.


While most fans of the Olympics focus only on the sports, the inner workings of the Games from budget to security can be just as interesting.  Did you know that the PyeongChang Games will cost $13 billion? Despite that staggering figure, it’s still four times less money than the previous 2014 Sochi Game. After all, any event as big as the Olympics will have a huge impact on the economy, media, and environment in addition to sports.

Security is tight at the PyeongChang Games. About $18.4 million has been spent on X-ray screening, and $1.2 million will be spent on cybersecurity by the time it’s all said and done. Meanwhile, 5,000 South Korean military service members are present along with 13,000 police officers. On top of that, the United States has sent 200 of their own security members and many other nations have probably done the same. It’s clear that security is paramount to the host and participating nations of the Games.

Because so many people tune in, the Olympic Games are a moneymaker for TV networks. NBC has exclusive Olympic broadcasting rights through 2032, and who can blame them? It’s projected that NBC will rake in $900 million in ad revenue from the PyeongChang games alone.

The Olympics are about more than sports. They facilitate a coming together of countries, stimulate economic activity and continue a storied tradition. Who are the Olympians of tomorrow? Could it be your own child? If your child does turn out to be a star athlete, you’d probably want them to have good sportsmanship and represent their country well.

The Evolution Of Gaming Consoles From The 1970s Until Today

I remember watching my older friends play Super Smash Brothers on GameCube when I was a little kid. Today, video games have erupted into the mainstream and become part . Follow the history of video game consoles in this infographic.

At first, video games were not intended for public consumption but rather for military personnel. The Magnavox Odyssey, originally known as The Brown Box, was released to the public in 1972 after failed attempts as a military training platform. The Atari Pong, a game consisting of bouncing a ball between two lines, also came out in 1972. Though not very impressive compared to the games of today, these consoles laid important groundwork for its successors.

Fast forward 24 years and my favorite childhood video game Pokémon takes the world by storm. With the introduction of the Xbox One, PS4 and Wii U, people were able to play against players around the world instead of their friends. Most recently, the Nintendo Switch was released in 2017, marking a revival in Nintendo consoles.

Gaming has had a long and storied history. There has been virtually no point in my life in which I didn’t play video games, and I’m sure the same is true for many others. All this gaming begs the question: are we throwing our lives away smashing buttons on a sofa? According to research, perhaps not. How might gaming make you a better person?

15(ish) Things Worth Knowing About Coffee

Coffee, coffee, coffee! That’s pretty much all that runs through my mind in the morning. That and the best way to avoid people before I have had my daily dosage of caffeine (for their own safety).

But what do we really know about the brown liquid that so many of us consume? Where did it originate? Who was the first to discover it? And how much coffee is “too much,” if there is such a thing?

Well, this infographic has at least 15 answers to questions we have all asked at some point. What exactly does caffeine do, and why do I feel jittery after a few cups? Apparently, caffeine replaces something called adenosine in our brains, which sends out adrenaline and dopamine, making for a pretty good time. Physical benefits aside, caffeine also plays a big role in our economy as the second most traded commodity on Earth. And it has a very long journey when going from bean to latte, both geographically and in the coffee-making process.

Think about that the next time you’re sending back a mocha that isn’t “just above room temperature” as you requested and how long it took for all those coffee beans to make it into your cup.

Millennials and Media Consumption: How Much Is Too Much?

I like my media like I like my coffee –– I need it as soon as I wake up. I’m not alone in this, either. People consume digital media like it is our breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I think we can all agree there’s such a thing as being over-informed, right? Granted, that’s not a word, but in the world of Urban Dictionary, who can honestly say what is and isn’t a word anymore?

As a millennial, I like to stay informed at all hours, even when I’m supposed to be sleeping. And consuming media for 18 hours a day is bound to interrupt your sleep. As is that series you binged on Netflix, or that news story you went to five different news websites for just so you could get a perspective from all sides.

Some people even sleep with their phones under their pillows as if they’re on-call 24/7. We’re obsessed with staying relevant and in the know –– if you’ve ever tripped on a sidewalk because you were too busy on your phone, you know what I mean. Even though we love our devices, millennials still deserve to be taken seriously.

How To Make A Good First Impression Without Appearing Desperate

They say you don’t get a second chance at a first impression, so you better make sure that first impression is a good one.

Don’t freak out too much. People won’t forever judge you for your first encounter, even if you forget their name immediately after learning it. But your first impression is your entrance into the room and your introduction to a crowd, so you should probably make it the best it can be, right?

Thankfully, this infographic has all the tips and tricks you need, like staring intently at someone’s eyes, nose and mouth in an alternating fashion to show you’re really paying attention to them. Or you could look them up on social media to build up a case file on them before you meet. That way, you’ll know all their likes and dislikes, and you’ll be prepared to discuss their interests. If you’re in a cold room with someone you need to impress, you can refuse to cross your arms for warmth to demonstrate that your “body window” is open.

These instructions prove that making the right first impression is simpler than it seems.

50 Years of Academy Award Winning Costume Design

We are just a few short days away from the annual Academy Awards, otherwise known as the Oscars. Even as more Oscar-worthy movies come out, it’s still important to talk about some of the old winners. I’m sure you’ve already heard about the best actors and actresses; they generally are pretty good at stealing the limelight.  Maybe even supporting actors and actresses have made it on your radar.

The backdrop for the outstanding work of these actors is set with extreme care, and is not something to gloss over.   The award winning costume designs don’t get much appreciation.  But if you take a closer look, you will realize how much work and effort went into these designs

Just look at one of the recent winners, Mad Max: Fury Road. That movie was impressive, and it had breathtaking costume designs as well. Sometimes the impact is much more subtle than you’d imagine.  Check out more of these costumes and see if you recognize any of them.

7 Times Technology Almost Destroyed The World

Technology has provided mankind with countless benefits. It has helped us research diseases, work more efficiently, and it allows us to communicate with people all over the world.  However, technology can be catastrophic if it’s misused.  Most of the near-disasters documented in this infographic would’ve led to nuclear war if they’d come to fruition.  In 1961, U.S. nuclear radar detection systems went off, prompting the U.S. to prepare for a nuclear strike against Russia.  However, this was a false alarm caused by an overheated relay system.

The next year, a similar snafu during the Cuban Missile Crisis resulted in the wrong alarm being set off, and it could’ve started World War III. And in 1979, the U.S. and Russia were at it again — this time fighting a proxy war in Afghanistan, South America and southern Africa.  A technician accidentally played footage of a nuclear attack simulation, causing U.S. officials to think they were under nuclear attack.

The only non-nuclear near-catastrophe was related to bacteria engineered to turn food waste into fuel, but the bacteria killed every plant it came in contact with. This was only caught in a test conducted by Oregon State University.  Had this not been detected, there’s a good chance we’d all be dead now.

How To Take The Ultimate Road Trip Across The U.S.

A road trip across the U.S. is the adventure of a lifetime, but it’s something no one should undertake unprepared. It’s not just about packing the bare essentials –  those are a given.I’m talking about crafting a plan for your entire journey and all the roadside attractions you plan to visit along the way. Driving thousands of miles is only fun if you have things to see! After all, if you’re traveling to your destination without stopping to take in the scenery along the way, is it really a road trip?

The U.S. is huge, and unless you can teleport, it’s impossible to visit every single roadside attraction in a single trip. You can, however, plan a route that maximizes your chances of visiting the most popular spots. To help you do exactly that, check out this guide to the 79 most popular roadside attractions across the entire U.S.

You may find some may more appealing than others, but we guarantee there’s something in there for everyone. If your goal is to cram in as many cool and/or bizarre attractions as possible on your next road trip, look no further.

9 Habits Of People Who Stay Fit And Healthy All The Time

Can we talk about why some people are healthy and happy every day, while people like me are constantly exhausted and unmotivated? How do those perky people do it?

This infographic offers a few suggestions on how you can become as energetic as those pesky health nuts. First, you’re going to have to adopt a morning routine. This involves waking up early and eating breakfast, which can be difficult. Once you make it to work, you should drink water throughout the day and try to keep your body moving. If you don’t want to be the weirdo doing squats at your desk, you can walk around the office every 30 minutes.

As far as lunch goes, the graphic suggests that you sacrifice your Cheetos and soda for “a bowl of nuts or carrot sticks.” Yum. Later in the day, you should skip the bus and try walking or biking home. Last time I checked, we’re approaching still experiencing some pretty cold weather, so this may not always be feasible. It also suggests having dinner at least 3 hours prior to your bedtime, which means watching Netflix and eating pizza right before bed is out.

As the day comes to a close, you might prepare for bed with a warm bath and powering off your screens at least 30 minutes before sleeping. Even if you’re traditionally lazy, incorporating many of these habits into your daily life really isn’t that daunting. I’ll skip waking up early, but I’ll consider a healthy lunch in the afternoon and walking home in the summer.

50 Health-Conscious Snacks That Are Under 100 Calories

When I’m not hungry enough to eat a full meal, I grab a snack. The problem is, I don’t take calories into consideration, which can lead to some overindulgence. When I found this infographic, I was instantly enthused. Here are 50 snacks that are 100 calories or less. Depending on what you’re craving, you can most likely find a snack on this list that will satisfy. If you’re looking for something sweet, try some frozen grapes. Salty? Try a tuna pouch. There’s an assortment of choices.

Chocolate can actually present itself in many low-calorie options for you to snack on. For example, you can make yourself Nutella-covered pretzels, and that’s only 96 calories. Isn’t that great?

Popcorn also presents itself as a nice option. If you make a proper serving of popcorn with different toppings, you’re getting a low-calorie but flavorful snack. If you have olive oil, lemon pepper, and parmesan cheese, you can easily make a serving of lemon-pepper popcorn that’s 97 calories.

There are many flavorful snack options that can be nutritionally beneficial to you. Who knew that some of these foods could truly be healthy for you? I hope you can take these snack choices and treat yourself to something nice.

This Is The Best Way To Relax & Ditch Perfectionism

I think it’s safe to say that at some point in life, you’ve aimed for perfection. You might be striving for all A’s, hoping for a cushy promotion or working for a dream body.At face value, this doesn’t seem like a big deal, but perfectionism can become a struggle. Thankfully, there are ways you can take control. There are two types of perfectionism we’re discussing today: adaptive and maladaptive. Adaptive perfectionism involves obtainable goals, but maladaptive perfectionism is the type that can consume your life. You constantly try to reach for goals that you just can’t obtain.

Perfectionists should set time limits for tasks they are trying to complete. Procrastination is a habit of perfectionists, and if they set a deadline for a task, it allows them to be strict with time management. Set your timer, and when it goes off, move on to a different task.

If you’re feeling super critical of your work, get a friend to help you out. Gaining a second opinion from an outside source can help you receive the validation you need. Getting feedback from a trusted person allows you to see the positives instead of negatives.

Maladaptive perfectionism isn’t something that disappears easily. It will take time to get your perfectionism under control, but these tips are a simple way to do so.

The Ultimate Wine Guide For Beer Lovers

Are you a beer drinker?  Maybe wine has never appealed to you, or you have found all the types of wine overwhelming. Who knows the difference between white and red, anyway?

We have good news for you: Even though beer is your first love, there are wines that taste super similar. Did you know beer and wine are sometimes nearly identical when it comes to taste or even texture? For example, if you like wheat beers, Chardonnay could be a great choice since both drinks are complex while still being smooth, light, and refreshing. The infographic includes quite a wide range of beers, so it’s likely that you will come across a favorite wine and become a sommelier in no time.

Many people assume that wine is a luxurious drink that can be paired only with special meals, while beers are for casual meals. But as long as you have our guide to food and wine pairings, every meal can be paired with a wine.

Exploring a new drink is always fun because you never know what you’ll discover. Today, you are a beer lover, but soon you’ll become a beer and wine lover. Just make sure that you don’t drink too much wine, or you will ruin the fun.

How Women Can Stay Safe While Traveling Alone

Traveling comes with a multitude of benefits, whether that be meeting new people, seeing new places and/or learning new things. However, it can be scary to embark on a new place alone – especially as a female.


One of the most important aspects of travel is being mindful of the different cultures you may encounter on your journey. The general guideline for most destinations in Asia is to wear skirts and dresses below the knees and shirts that cover your chest and shoulders.

While Europe is generally more liberal, your shoulders and knees should be hidden if you plan on visiting the Vatican. As you might expect, the same sorts of rules apply to religious areas in Africa, and even more so in the Middle East. In Jordan and Iran, you should plan to cover almost all of your skin. Other places, such as Israel, only require that you wear a long, loose-fitting dress.

Some other basic guidelines you might consider following as a solo traveler are to stay inside once nighttime rolls around, avoid quiet alleyways and try to blend in with the people around you. If you do go out at night, use the buddy system and keep an eye on your drink. As always, be aware of your belongings and your surroundings at all times.

Exploring a new place on your own offers great opportunities for self-discovery, adventure and even new relationships. Traveling alone can seem daunting at first, but it is amazing in the long run.

Top 5 Marketing Challenges Of 2018

It feels like 2018 has just started, but spring is already just around the corner.  The end of the first quarter is the perfect time for marketers to review progress on goals.

This year, brands will need to tailor marketing strategies to an ever-growing audience that is as diverse, critical and digital as ever.

To give you a leg up, the team at WARC (the World Advertising Research Centre) surveyed 600+ marketers around the world to find out what their priorities and challenges are—and discovered five themes.

Take voice strategy. Recent research by NPR and Edison Research suggests one in six U.S. adults own a smart speaker like Google Home or Amazon Echo, leading some to call voice the fourth sales channel for brands. But according to WARC’s survey, only 16% of brands have audio guidelines at this point.

2017 also saw a backlash against brand purpose. From scorned campaigns like Pepsi and Kendall Jenner, to complaints that award schemes are over-rewarding socially good ideas, brands are realizing they have to take the long view on purpose rather than jump on the bandwagon.

Are you nodding along? In today’s infographic, you’ll discover all five marketing challenges—according to your peers—and three best practices and pitfalls to avoid.

16 Scientifically Proven Ways To Cheer Someone Up

Have you ever felt absolutely helpless when you noticed a friend was feeling down? Well, the hormones produced by our brains are responsible for positive emotions, and learning how to activate them can help you cheer someone (or yourself) up.

Serotonin is nicknamed the confidence compound. To boost serotonin levels, the infographic recommends eating dark chocolate and listening to relaxing music or sounds. Dark chocolate releases not only serotonin but also endorphins. Some other suggestions are using “word associations” and blasting music in the car.

Dopamine is known as the reward neurotransmitter. To release dopamine, the infographic suggests completing many fulfilling tasks, such as tackling crossword puzzles and other problem-solving games. Cleaning and meditating have the same effects, so it may be worth inviting a sad friend to yoga.

Next, oxytocin is a bonding hormone. The infographic suggests going to the dog park to get more of this molecule, while petting animals also releases serotonin and prolactin. Volunteering brings a sense of community and closeness with others, which can also release oxytocin.

Finally, endorphins are natural painkillers. You may find satisfaction in smashing old plates on the ground or eating tacos thanks to endorphins. Another great way to release endorphins is to fake-it-till-you-make-it by fake laughing until you find yourself laughing for real.

How To Handle Negative Thoughts and Emotions At Work

I’ve heard it said that people who hate waking up actually hate their jobs. For a lot of people, this is probably true.

But for others, it could be caused by some aspect of your job bringing serious distress. And while we all have bad days, what should you do if most of your days at work aren’t good?

When you’re at work, are you stressed out of your mind? Do you ever find it hard to get through the day? If so, you might need some help with the way you deal with your thoughts and emotions in the office. This infographic has tips that can help you change your thought patterns, from curbing your negative self -alk (like beating yourself up when something hasn’t gone as planned) to doing breathing exercises so you don’t lose it when your boss isn’t being reasonable.

And if you suffer from anxiety and depression, you likely experience negative thoughts and emotions on a more frequent basis than other people, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t find joy in your work. However, if you end up going for a walk every hour to cool off, it might be time for a change of employment.

Which Sports Have The Highest Fatality Rates?

Life expectancy around the world has come a long way in the last century due to modern medicine and other advancements. Even so, we aren’t invincible, and we’ll all die at some point.

How will you go?  To start with the obvious causes, being obese or a smoker significantly increases one’s risk of mortality, with half of lifelong smokers not making it to 70 years old.  If you want to live a long, happy life, you’re best off not smoking, following a healthy diet and exercising regularly.

Though being active is good, certain activities are safer than others. For example, you have a 1 in 2,200 chance of dying while boxing, and a 1 in 50,000 chance of dying while playing football. Skydiving is thought of as dangerous but you only have a 1 in 101,083 chance of dying. And if you’re trying to stay fit, you’re better off going with swimming or running, which each only have a 1 in 1,000,000 chance of you ending up dead.  Whatever you do, don’t go base jumping, which has a mortality rate of 1 in 60.

Now that you know which sports are safest, you can start planning your next adventure. But you need to make sure you’re digitally safe as well.

These Surprising Factors Can Help Predict Your Chance Of Divorce

You’ve heard people say that you have a 50 percent change of getting divorced if you decide to get married, but is that really the case?

Turns out, divorce rates are actually going down. After peaking in the 1980s with a 40 percent chance of divorce, American marriages have grown stronger –– to an extent. From now until 2020, divorce is expected to either remain the same or decrease.

Apparently, the false statistic about half of marriages ending in divorce started in the 80s when a study said most couples married in the seventies wouldn’t make it the first decade.

So what are your real chances of getting divorced? Aside from traits like education level, age, and your parents’ marital status, your credit score is a good way to measure your chances of marital success (or failure).

One of every three divorcees admitted they were dishonest with their spouse regarding their spending habits, and more than half of them hid cash from their now-exes. A more frightening stat? Around 60 percent of people claim they kept their spending a secret in order to avoid “problems at home.” Yikes!

I’m a fan of opening the lines of communication: Talking about money with your partner is one of those things you have to be comfortable doing. The trick? Keep your debt low and talk with your significant other, and your marriage will last as long as you want to!

Got A Video Game Idea? Here’s How To Profit From It

I’ll never forget the first video gaming console I used: the Game Boy Color. It was colorful, portable, and the games were engaging. How did the Game Boy become so successful? It’s simple: Nintendo was able to make the product marketable to the masses.

Game developers might have a genius idea, but creating a successful video game or gaming console is hard work. If you have a video game you want the world to know about, you should look at today’s infographic on how to make your project successful.

Making a trailer to advertise your video game is essential. It will give fans a taste of what is in the works, and they’ll know whether or not they’ll find it appealing. They get a preview of characters, storylines, and the game play. Don’t give too much away –– you want to leave the consumer wanting more.

Along with a trailer, you should make a website dedicated to your game. On your website, you can give a description, screenshots, trailer and much more. An online marketing campaign can get consumers enticed without spoiling the plot of the game.

I hope you can use these tips to come up with the next big title in the video game industry. Always remember that marketing is key. Who knows? Maybe you have an idea for the next big thing! Need some inspiration?

The Definitive Guide To Radio’s Popularity In The U.S.

Can you believe people once thought radio waves couldn’t travel more than half a mile? Now we know that the first radio transmission in 1900 is still traveling in space. Did you know that radio astronomers can now “hear” radio waves from the first stars that formed after the Big Bang? And one day, aliens in a faraway universe might hear popular radio shows from the Golden Age of Radio like The Guiding Light, The Lone Ranger and The Ed Sullivan Show. What will our cosmic friends think of our soap operas, dramas, adventure thrillers, and sports obsessions?

During the 1930s, radio ownership more than doubled. Today, there are 44,000 radio stations in the U.S., and 65 million millennials listen to the radio regularly. More than 240 million people 12 and older listen to the radio in the United States at least once a week. That’s 9 out of 10 Americans.

There is much debate about whether it was American inventor Nikola Tesla or Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi who created the radio. While Tesla may sound cooler –– ask Elon Musk, who named his wildly successful electric car company after him –– scientists say Marconi wins this round. The inventor received the patent rights for “radio” and won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1909.

Both inventors contributed greatly to radio even though they worked simultaneously and without consulting each other, but controversy arose when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1943 that Marconi’s radio patents were invalid and awarded the patents for radio to Tesla. Regardless of who’s behind radio, we all reap the benefits today.

10 Proven Ways To Improve Your Sleep

Imagine this: you just changed into a cozy set of PJs, crawled into bed with a nice comforter, and closed your eyes. You’re rolling around trying to find a comfortable position to lie in, trying to stop your mind from racing, but it’s just not happening. If you’re struggling to doze off, here are some sleep relaxation techniques to try out.

One of the most important factors of relaxation is your bedroom setting. If your bedroom feels uncomfortable, chances are you won’t be sleeping too well. Keep your room at a comfortable temperature, turn off your electronic devices to prevent distraction, and make sure your mattress is comfortable.

You also want to make sure that your body is in prime condition before falling asleep.  If you regularly wake up with a stiff neck or sore muscles, try muscle relaxation and breathing exercises. These can help you relieve physical tension and keep your body in a calm state.

If you’re struggling with sleep, add these tricks to your nighttime routine. Sleep is a necessary refresher, and given all the digital stimulation these days, sleep tends to suffer.

How To Use Technology To Improve Your Long-Distance Relationship

Miles won’t break our love… or will they? Long-distance relationships are becoming increasingly common among modern couples: working full-time and constantly moving, which can make it difficult to have a serious relationship without at least some periods of long-distance love.

Whether you and your significant other spend summers apart or you’ve chosen to take up an amazing job offer that will take you to the other side of the world, being long distance is a difficult decision. Thankfully, there are ways to get through it.

I can’t imagine how our grandparents coped with it: Long, hand-written letters aren’t exactly on par with Skype calls or Instagram DMs. Thankfully, there’s always an app for that.

In the world of smartphones and apps, you can always find one new piece of technology designed to fit your needs. If you’re in need of some long distance love, check out this comprehensive list of apps that will make your love life more enjoyable and maybe even more easier.

From sending messages to watching a movie together, booking your next airplane ticket together and hanging out with common friends, you can be sure you’ll find an app for every part of your relationship.

This Is Why Children Misbehave, According To Experts

Every step of parenting can be daunting, but disciplining children is one of the most complicated parts of it. How much is too much?

Carol Tuttle, author of The Child Whisperer, created a system that works with your child’s personality. According to her book, parents should adapt their disciplining methods to their child’s character, strengths, and weaknesses, which makes for happier, better behaved kids and less-stressed parents.

The whole point of disciplining according to your child’s personality is making the process easier and understanding the hidden message in your kid’s behavior. Why are they acting out?

By thinking about a child’s usual response to a frustrating or positive event, parents can easily determine whether their kid is sensitive, determined, serious or fun-loving (not to say these are the only categories). Based on this, parents will be better equipped to deal with tantrums, fights or anger of any kind.

Tuttle claims that by remaining intuitive and proactive instead of reacting on gut instinct, parents can manage their childrens more effectively, without too much hassle and enjoying the perks of having cooperative kiddos. I don’t have children of my own, but I may use this chart to better understand adults.

Learn More About St. Patrick, A Feisty Priest Who Survived Enslavement

St. Patrick’s Day has passed, but it’s not too late to learn more about the man behind the holiday. Before Catholics honored the “Apostle of Ireland” with sainthood, he was nothing more than a pagan slave. After surviving years of enslavement, he fled his captors and walked 200 miles to the Irish Sea, where British merchants rescued him.

Considering his escape an act of God, St. Patrick returned to Ireland as a priest years later to spread the news of Christ, and his legend grew exponentially over the years. According to one myth, during a 40-day fast on an Irish hilltop, Patrick fought off snakes that mercilessly attacked him. So incensed was the patron saint of Ireland by the attack that he chased every one of the island’s slithering beasts into the sea. Today, there isn’t a single wild snake in all of Ireland.

While it is a super story, research by archaeologists has revealed that snakes never made it to the Emerald Isle because the climate was never ripe for their migration there.  The saint’s lore also includes a thousand miracles and the raising of 33 folks from the dead, “some of whom had been many years buried.”

While his fabled life has grown something fierce in the 1,500 years since his death, what is certainly true is that St. Patrick did spark a movement toward Christianity that would rule the country for hundreds of years. For that reason alone, it is an Irish tradition to celebrate his life around the world with a bit of debauchery and drunkenness each year every spring.

The Ultimate Cheat Sheet for a Great Wedding Speech

My sister is getting married in May, and I couldn’t be more excited. She’s going to have her ceremony at a scenic lake house, the reception is going to be awesome, and I don’t have to make a speech! If you’re preparing for a wedding speech, you may be nervous, which is why you need this ultimate cheat sheet for wedding speeches.

You might be asking yourself, “Why are speeches so important, anyway?” Well, 9 out of 10 wedding guests say that the speech is the main talking point of a wedding reception. You can make a lasting impression with the speech that you make. Make it humorous, make it heartfelt, and make it fun!

The best man and maid of honor’s speech are some of the more traditional speeches you’ll see at a wedding. Include a fun story from the past that involves you and the bride or groom. It will give guests an understanding of why you were chosen to be the maid of honor or best man.

There are some things you definitely want to avoid when making a speech. Don’t make the moment about yourself. It’s not your wedding, it’s theirs! Also, you shouldn’t be drunk when you make your speech. It’s rude and could embarrass the happy couple.

How To Cat-Proof Your Home Before Getting A Feline Friend

You baby-proof your home before you have kids, and when you adopt a pet, you must go through a similar process. With kids, you invest in outlet protectors and baby monitors. With cats, however, you need to anticipate even riskier behavior.

Unlike babies, cats come with the risk of high-rise syndrome, or “the phenomenon of cats falling from two stories or higher.” Consequences of these falls can be quite serious, ranging from a broken jaw to internal injuries. However, 90 percent of cats that receive immediate medical care survive their fall.

To prevent these falls from happening, you should always open your window from the top, rather than the bottom. You should also ensure that the opening in any sliding glass doors or windows are smaller than the cat’s head. You could also consider enclosing your balcony in chicken wire, so that you and your furry friend can enjoy it without worry.

Leather furniture and cat claws don’t always get along. Rather than declawing your cat, learn to deter them from expensive furniture. Do this by placing a scratching post near furniture, and try using a No-Scratch spray on the furniture. If all else fails, trim your cat’s nails.

One last word of advice on creating a cat-friendly apartment is the litter box. Be sure to give each of your cats their own boxes, plus one extra for good measure. Change out your cat’s litter at least once every day, and fully rinse the box once a week with baking soda or an unscented soap.

Smartphone Stats That Will Freak You Out

Americans are addicted to their cellphones, but that’s not exactly fresh news. There is something unnerving about our obsession, though.

The stats from this infographic show exactly how far our cellphone overuse goes. The average American uses their phone around 3 hours a day, and we’re checking our cell phones roughly 110 times per day! We’re even using our phones in the bathroom: 40 percent of adults check their phones on the toilet. Consider me officially disgusted.

Cellphones are also involved in 25 percent of car accidents, regardless of the driver’s age. This means that both teenagers and adults behave irresponsibly behind the wheel. Some food for thought next time you’re feeling compelled to text and drive.

Our public lives aren’t the only thing affected by our smartphone addiction: 1 in 3 people would rather give up sex than their phone, and 1 in 5 have used it during sex. I don’t know the details here, but if you have the mental focus to check your smartphone during sex, you’re definitely doing it wrong.

It’s time we start using our cellphones consciously. Maybe go on a small tech detox for a weekend, or make a pact with your family of not checking your devices at dinner. Small changes can make a huge difference, and you’ll feel much better when you aren’t always online.

Learn More About How Coughing Affects Your Health

Flu season is finally ending, but it’s been a brutal one, especially for people who live in densely populated area. Even though we won’t have to worry about the flu epidemic for much longer, experts are already thinking about next year’s flu season — and it’s important to know which symptoms to look for.


One of the most common coughs is caused by colds and flu, which is something most people have experienced. Caused by contagious viruses, these coughs are almost guaranteed to show up each year.

Experiencing a post-nasal drip after coughing?  Feeling sinus inflammation? It’s likely that you have allergies. As someone who suffers from intense pollen allergies, I can’t decide if having the flu or severe allergies is worse. Unfortunately, flu season is directly followed by allergy season, so if you get hit by both, you’ll be coughing for a while. If you’re a smoker or have asthma, your cough will sound distinctive and may even contain phlegm.

This infographic provides information about physical ailments, but in some cases, our ailments can’t be seen. Mental health is a major part of overall health, and it’s important to take care of yourself.

10 Places To Retire With Less Than $200,000 In The Bank

The ultimate proof that you are now an adult? Instead of dreaming of vacation, you dream of the day you can retire.

Don’t deny it: we’ve all been there. So when exactly are you planning on quitting the job? I’m decades away from retirement, but I’m not sure I want to work until I’m 80! Decide when you want to retire, and avoid all the stress down the road.

Do you want to travel the world and become the envy of all your friends? Or would you rather stay put and help raise your grandkids? And, let’s be honest, will you be healthy while elderly, or will you need medical help?

All of these questions will affect the final number that you’ll need to save for your own retirement. Nevertheless, experts can give you an estimate, and it’s pretty expensive. You’ll be looking at around 1.2 million dollars for 30 years of retirement.

If you’re ready to say goodbye to a trusty 9-to-5 and your savings account isn’t ready, maybe you need to start looking elsewhere for your forever home. With mounting costs of living, more and more American retirees are stretching their funds by moving outside of the U.S., all without sacrificing quality of living.

You could retire for as little as $162,000 for 25 years if you choose your next home wisely. From Nicaragua to Belize or Portugal, the world is yours to choose from!

Bottoms Up, Beer Lovers: The Best Glass For Your Favorite Brew

Craft beer is on the rise around the world, so we better get hop on the hipster wagon and educate ourselves on the matter. I’m known to enjoy a cold beer on a hot summer day,
but I’m also far from being a connoisseur, so this infographic surprised me in a lot of ways. Apparently, just like with wine, the right glass can make or break a beer. I guess that means plastic is out of the question, unfortunately.

Apparently, some glasses are better suited for foamy beers, while other glasses are chosen based on the ABV (alcohol by volume) of a beer. A good rule of thumb: The smaller the glass, the stronger the beer. I’ve been doing it wrong all these years, although I can’t say I’m sorry for that.

There’s even a special technique designed to pour the perfect glass of beer, and it’ll make you look like you just stepped out of a Heineken commercial. The pouring involves tipping the glass at a 45-degree angle with a steady stream and straightening the glass to create the ideal amount of foam (around an inch of creamy goodness).

These Cities Are Home To The Handsomest Men In America

When you think of an awesome vacation spot, you may picture San Francisco or New York City — but those are known for their beautiful landmarks, and not necessarily their beautiful people. Which cities are home to the most handsome men?


Lonely ladies and men, listen up: This infographic analyzes each city’s annual spending on personal care, shaving, and clothing, as well as fitness activity.  Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but the effort you put in apparently does a lot.

Interestingly, the top cities for handsome men seem to be on the East and West coasts of the U.S., with five of the top six cities appearing near water. The rest of the top ten cities are scattered around the mainland, tending to be cities with high populations, which is unsurprising given that bigger cities often attract younger people.

At the very top of the table is Seattle, a city I spent a significant part of my childhood in. Maybe that’s where I get my good looks from!  A scenic destination with mild temperatures, hip coffee shops, and great seafood, Seattle is already a great vacation spot – the handsome men are just the cherry on top.

30 Facts About Blood You Definitely Haven’t Heard Before

I’ve always thought that blood was kind of cool. Not in a weird, “I’m a vampire and want to drink your blood” way, butI’m always interested in learning more about the red stuff that keeps our bodies going. Truth be told, I am a little bit queasy when someone’s bleeding, but I still think it’s pretty cool — which is what brought me to today’s research.

I like to read about random things, like how much blood we have in our bodies and what it usually symbolizes. I wanted to share with you this excellent infographic with 30 amazing facts about blood. Don’t worry: These facts aren’t only science-based, so you’ll learn some historical and cultural things as well.

For example, did you know Ireland once had a tradition of giving away free pints of Guinness to blood donors to help them recover from any lightheadedness due to iron loss? Whoever killed that tradition made a huge mistake!

And during pregnancy, a woman’s blood volume increases by 50 percent. Just another reason to thank your mom for being awesome, I guess. In case you need a new hero, look no further than James Harrison, a man who has donated blood over 1,000 times. And I thought I was brave for reading research about blood!

Become A Chef Overnight With These Culinary Hacks

Back in January, I made a New Year’s Resolution to utilize my stove more. I go to fast-food chains all the time, and I need to take a break from eating out. I’m not the best cook, but thanks to this infographic, I’m much better prepared to whip up a meal.

I’m a firm believer of breakfast being the most important meal of the day. Did you know you can make a full breakfast by using a waffle iron? That’s right. Not only can you make waffles, but you can also cook hash browns and bacon. It’s simple, efficient, and creative!

I’ve learned that acidity is a key ingredient in a lot of foods. Lemons can be used for a variety of different foods. For example, you can use a bed of lemons for fish so they can infuse and the fish won’t stick to a grill. You can also freeze water with lemons to make fruity ice cubes. Turns out that lemons are a culinary must-have.

If you’re trying to master the kitchen like I am, use this infographic to help you out.

It’s All Gouda: 51 Cheeses From Around The Globe

Cheese is a food that everyone knows and most of us love. No matter where you are in the world, you likely have at least one cheese recipe that you find enjoyable (if you’re allergic to cheese, my condolences). This infographic gives you a list of 51 delicious cheeses from around the world.

Japan is known for a cheese called Sakura. Sakura is the term for cherry blossom in Japan, and this cheese shows just that. This is a white cheese covered in cherry blossom leaves. This cheese is so successful that it wins international awards.

If you didn’t already know, France is well known for its cheese. One of the nation’s best-known cheeses is named Roquefort. It is a blue cheese covered in green mold. Don’t let that scare you! This cheese has been put into salad dressings because of its creaminess.

Have you ever made a sandwich with provolone? Well, you have a taste for Italian cheeses. This cheese is usually aged for about four months so it gains a sharper taste. Provolone is one of my personal favorite cheeses, so I’m a fan of Italy.

This Is Your Body & Brain On Anger

Anger is one of the strongest emotions we’re capable of feeling, so it’s only natural that it affects our physical and mental states in a major way. But you may be surprised to find out just how much it can change your brain.


Anger first starts in the brain, where the amygdala, hypothalamus, and pituitary gland start a signaling chain to release stress hormones. The hormones that are released cause you to lose brain cells, especially in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, which are responsible for decision making and memory forming. This explains why people are more prone to making irrational decisions when angry.

Have you ever gotten so angry you thought you were going to pop a vein? Turns out, the hormones produced by anger prepare the body for a fight-or-flight response.  Furthermore, when the body is overexposed to these stress hormones, the blood vessels become clogged and damaged, increasing risk for stroke and heart attack.  This was the case of Red Forman from That ’70s Show, who got so angry he suffered a heart attack.

Interestingly, eye sight decreases when you’re angry, which means the saying “blind with rage” isn’t just figurative. Though anger and stress can help you escape immediate danger, prolonged exposure is not healthy.

How To Meet Like-Minded People On Vacation

You’re on the beach, enjoying the sun and reading a juicy novel, and then a baby starts wailing nearby. You decide to go for a swim, and when you return, you notice how many families are surrounding you — and you went on vacation hoping to find a hot date and some friends to party with!

Even if you’re not looking for love or friendship, it’s always a bummer to go on vacation and not get what you expect. You wouldn’t pick a camping trip to Yellowstone if your goal was wining and dining, and you wouldn’t travel to Iceland during winter if you wanted to soak up the sun.

If you want to find like-minded travelers, you better start researching your destination before you book! If you’re like me and are too lazy to do your own research, the team at Travel Supermarket has put together a handy chart that shows where all sorts of people like to go for vacation.

Who knew Reykjavik, Iceland was such a hot-spot for millennial beauty lovers? Or that Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands is the place-to-be if you’re a 50-year-old comic fanatic? Look for your age and your interests, and you’re all set! I’m already planning my trip to Cancun, where Instagrammers apparently congregate.

How Well Do You Adapt To New Technology?

Even though most of us are pretty technology proficient in 2018, it’s hard to keep up with all of the advancements happening.

I have a lot of admiration for our grandparents’ generation. Electricity wasn’t as prevalent, people communicated by mail and if someone left the country, you’d have no way to see them.

Now? The same grandparents that didn’t have any inkling of personal computers when they were children are now proficient smartphone users, have social media accounts and even send memes every once in a while. Will millennials be able to stay on top of things once we’re elderly?

Even if we consider ourselves early adopters, technology is changing so quickly that in a couple of years, there may be products we haven’t even thought about. How do you measure up? Are you an inventor, always one step ahead of the game? Are you mass-driven, only adopting new gadgets once everyone knows about them? Or are you a little bit slower, innovating only when strictly necessary?

Check out today’s infographic to see where you fall on this scale. As for me, I just hope I can adopt these new inventions as easily as my granny learned to FaceTime the whole family.

Here’s What It Takes To Burn Off The Calories In Junk Food

“Just one unhealthy meal won’t hurt, right?” If you’re like most people, this thought has crossed your mind even on a strict diet. Maybe it was a late night when only McDonald’s was open, or when that slice of cake just looked too good to pass up.


But is one burger really harmless? While it won’t completely ruin your diet, it may be more calories than you bargained for. In today’s infographic, we’re looking at how much it takes to work off various foods. In a can of cola, there are only approximately 140 calories, which is less than 10% of an average person’s daily caloric intake (roughly 2,000 calories). Just to burn off one cola, you would need to run a whopping 1.2 miles! If you have a Big Mac with your drink, you’d have to run a total of 6.2 miles to work off the calories, the equivalent of running two 5k races.

Although calorie-rich foods were great for our ancestors, who needed the energy to hunt and gather their meals, it’s a bit different today. When you can buy meals with thousands of calories without realizing it, you have to exercise discipline if you want to stay healthy.To take the first step towards a healthier diet, learn how to break bad eating habits.

As they say, everything in moderation, including moderation. Even though you may have to spend a bit more time in the gym because of that burger, it’s definitely worth it for the occasional treat.

This Is How Americans Spend Their Tax Refunds

The U.S. federal income tax rate averages 26 percent, and the average American is on the hook for $8,500 a year in federal income tax. But how did taxes originate, and what do we do with our tax refunds?

The first personal income tax in the U.S. was introduced in 1861 to recover debt the federal government accrued during the Civil War. At the time, the U.S. government made its citizens pay 3 percent on any income over $800. Today, Americans who make more than $10,400 have to pay taxes, and the average citizen receives a tax refund in the range of $2,700 after filing.

Those folks lucky enough to receive a refund use the money to pay off debt or they put it into a savings account. Others put it towards buying an experience, use it for a down payment on large purchase such as a house, car, or boat, or spend it on a luxury technology item like a new computer.

Relatively speaking, U.S. citizens pay a smaller percentage of federal income taxes than other advanced economies. French citizens pay a whopping 46 percent of their income to the government, and Belgium pays 48 percent, which is why these countries have the highest tax burdens in Europe.

In total, U.S. citizens pay about $3.46 trillion in taxes. With a federal budget of nearly $4 trillion, and a national debt that is more than $20 trillion and growing at a rate of $6,000 per second, the money the government receives from U.S. citizens is sorely needed. Even if you aren’t excited about paying taxes, you may have money coming your way soon.

9 Work-Life Balance Tips For Busy Parents

Most parents work outside of the household, and for many of them, it’s difficult to find that delicate work-life balance.  How can you make a living and have a successful career while still taking care of your children and spending quality time with them?

I don’t have all the answers, but this infographic can come in handy if you’re stressing out about your kids and succeeding at work.

Taking care of children is one of the most rewarding and tiring activities around, and the only thing you can do as a parent is prepare as much as you can. Start by assessing your current situation, and then put together a plan to give work and your family the attention they both deserve.

Mornings are usually the busiest time of day for those with kids, so make breakfast and lunch the night before. Prepping meals and having lunches packed can help you drop off the kids at school and still make it to that 9 a.m. meeting.

If you simply struggle to find time and can’t make any concessions, why don’t you take advantage of the Internet? There are retailers that allow you online and pick-up in-store, or you can pay bills and run bank-related errands from the comfort of your own living room. Regardless of your struggles as a working parent, you’ve got this.

Will The 2018 World Cup Involve Corruption?

If you follow soccer, you know about FIFA, the scandal-laden organization in charge of the World Cup. Over the years, FIFA officials have been found to take bribes, and former president Sepp Blatter

stepped down in 2015 to show FIFA has turned over a new leaf.  But is the once corrupt organization really clean now?

The selection of World Cup host countries is one of the main causes of suspicion toward FIFA.  According to the organization, the voting criteria for consists of factors like infrastructure, transport, passion of fans, and presentation.

In almost every category, Russia falls short to other candidates. Note that this infographic was made in the UK, so the charts may be a little biased, but Russia is indeed lacking in infrastructure and has faced scandals for doping athletes. Based on the criteria FIFA claims use to select the host country, other countries may have been a better fit. However, nations like England only got 2 out of 22 votes. When you consider that Qatar is hosting the 2022 World Cup and has been accused of treating World Cup workers like slaves, things seem even dicier.

Based on this information, it may be possible that FIFA uses different criteria than they claim they do. Perhaps they haven’t changed their ways, and there’s still bribes and money involved in the selection process, or perhaps they just aren’t letting us in on their secrets.

MSG: Killer Chemical or Harmless Ingredient?

Many restaurants and manufacturers have come under fire for using a chemical called MSG, or Monosodium glutamate, in their food. People have reported symptoms like headaches, nausea and even heart palpitations.  But is MSG really as dangerous as people make it out to be? Let’s dive into the science.


It turns out that glutamate occurs naturally in many foods. Tomatoes, parmesan, mushrooms, soy sauce, and potatoes all contain natural glutamate, and none are known as unhealthy foods. Because natural glutamate is in a number of foods which aren’t considered harmful, it can be concluded that naturally occurring glutamate is safe to eat. In fact, we consume about 20 to 40 times more natural glutamate than MSG.

But what about MSG? Is it bad for you? Based on the science we have right now, the answer is probably not. At the molecular level, there appears to be no chemical difference between natural glutamate and the glutamate in MSG. Additionally, scientific studies conducted on MSG provide insufficient evidence of negative symptoms.

While science has not come up with sufficient evidence to prove MSG is safe or dangerous, there are many other foods that have been proven dangerous and even deadly in some cases.

Can Trading Make You Rich?

Trading stocks can give you an opportunity to become an expert on financial markets while making a profit at the same time. But how much money can you really make?First things first. Trading means understanding market cycles and different types of assets, like stocks and bonds. Day trading, which is basically buying and selling stock on the same day, or even several times in a single day, can be even riskier business.

The richest traders in the world are worth billions of dollars, as shown by this infographic. Consider James Harris Simons, who’s worth a whopping $18.5 billion dollars.

While it sounds great to sit at a computer and make money with a few clicks, trading isn’t easy, and doing this for a long period of time can be difficult.  If you’re not sure what you’re doing, it’s not worth it..  Trade impulsively and you could be looking at some serious money issues.

If you want to dip your toes in the markets without losing your whole paycheck in the process, make sure you do your homework first: Follow some financial market veterans, stay posted on the news, and analyze the companies you’re investing in.

In the end, trading is about ability and experience rather than luck, so be aware of the risks before you jump in. But once you get the hang of it, you could make some extra cash.

The Evolution Of Communication From 30,000 B.C.

It’s hard to fathom a time without the Internet or cellphones. But humans have spent most of our existence communicating without fancy technology.
From documenting history with cave paintings to using carrier pigeons and western ponies, we’ve always tried to connect with others. Ultimately, communication has helped us always helped us invent, problem solve, write books and connect with our loved ones.

It’s amazing how far we’ve come: Did you know that the earliest forms of communication date back to 30,000 BC? It seems primitive compared to today’s smartphones, but petroglyphs are actually pretty impressive. Different cultures also use different means of communicating. Some Native American tribes used smoke signals to communicate with each other, while ancient China used the smoke to send messages along the Great Wall of China.

Things have moved at breakneck speed in the last two centuries, especially compared to how long it took our ancestors to innovate. In about 150 years, we’ve jumped from written letters to phone calls to text message to mostly communicating online. The future looks bright, especially because scientists are constantly innovating. I don’t know about you, but I’m incredibly excited about virtual reality and AI. What are you most excited to witness next?

The Disturbing Truth About Animal Cruelty In The Beauty Industry

When you’re picking out a new tube of mascara, you likely aren’t giving much thought to its ingredients. But there’s a disturbing truth about animal cruelty and the beauty industry that many consumers may not be aware of.

Many cosmetic brands claim to be cruelty-free yet derive ingredients from animal products. For example, stearic acid is an ingredient found in cleansing agents and emulsifiers. This is extracted from the fat of animals who were likely slaughtered.

Bee byproducts are also often used by makeup companies. Beeswax and honey are two very common ingredients in emulsifiers, emollients, moisturizers and soothing agents, all of which are common in any makeup cabinet. Other insects are also used for polishes, lacquers and colorant.

Hair and skin conditioners use animal products quite a bit, according to today’s infographic — whether it’s lanolin, keratin, lactoferrin, or squalene, you’re likely using animal products daily without realizes it. Lanolin comes from sheep’s wool and is used in cosmetics. Keratin is obtained from “ground horns, hooves, claws,” and it’s often advertised as a way to strengthen your hair. If you’re concerned about the products you’re putting on your face, read the label before buying.

The Psychology Behind Getting Millennials To Love Your Brand

With their craft beers, hipster clothing, and crypto-currencies, millennials can be difficult to understand.  Many business owners are wondering how to attract young customers because


millennials make up a huge demographic that no business can afford to miss out on.  To understand how to successfully market to millennials, one must first get to know the habits and personalities of the under-30 crowd. Millennials are on the Internet more than any other generation and use TV and radio less. As a result of spending so much time online, millennials generally value online interaction, tech-savviness and convenience.

According to this infographic, 89 percent of millennials are on social media, and even that percentage seems a little low. Companies like TOMS have taken advantage of this by creating impressive social media presences and associating their brand with a philanthropic cause.

Almost all millennials own computers and smartphones, and most millennials are tech literate. They like to be able to access information on any device, so businesses must have mobile-friendly websites and shop pages.

Now that you know how to market to millennials, you can get improve your social media business strategy!

These Countries Censor Websites Like Facebook And YouTube

Internet censorship is something most of us are familiar with, but it might come as a surprise that the United Kingdom and Germany both censor content.

Iran, China, and North Korea block websites like Wikipedia, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. It’s not shocking that these nations censor content, but why are seemingly laidback countries like Germany and the United Kingdom dictating what people can view?

British citizens enjoy the freedom of expression under both common and domestic law, but there are sweeping exceptions. The UK says it represses Internet use in their country for national security reasons. In other words, the British government says they filter information to fight terrorism and crime. In fact, the UK is listed as an “Enemy of the Internet” among countries like Russia, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia by Reporters Without Borders, a nonprofit organization that promotes freedom of information.

In Germany, websites are filtered to control the spread of hate speech, defamation, and incitements to violence. In 2017, the German government passed a law that forced Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms to remove hate speech within 24 hours of its posting, or face a fine of $57 million. It is up to you to decide whether this is fair and necessary or a violation of your rights.

This Is How Brexit Might Be Implemented In Britain

If you’ve been living under a rock for the last two years, I’ve got some news for you, and you may want to sit down. In a move that shocked the rest of the world, Britain voted itself out of the European Union in June 2016. Even if you’re news literate, you still may not know how Brexit could affect you.

First, let’s familiarize ourselves with what Brexit is all about and the concerns people have. From foreign workers worried about keeping their jobs to the weakness of the British Pound against other currencies, the potential effects are far-reaching. But more importantly, how exactly will Brexit happen?

If you look at this infographic, you’ll see choices that sound like ways you might cook an egg. “Hard Brexit,” “Soft Brexit,” “Swiss Brexit” – these are meal options, no? The names may sound silly, but these are the different ways Britain might separate from the rest of the European Union.

If this is all too hard to swallow, let this infographic help provide a little clarity and information about what Brexit will actually look like and how it may affect you. It may make vacations slightly harder, but holiday travel in Europe is still going to boom.

Feel More Inspired At Work By Changing Up Your Office

Already ready for the weekend? If you don’t feel passionate about your job, you’re in good company — it can happen when you get bored or tired of the work you’re doing.

But if you aren’t ready to leave yet, you can make changes to your workspace to feel more inspired while at work. More companies are hiring designers who decorate offices with colors and furniture that cheers up employees. We all know we’re more productive when we’re feeling relaxed and at peace with our environment.

Take a look at today’s infographic and see what you can do to transform your workplace into a creative, inspiring place. For example, some simple pops of color on the walls could turn your mood around. And if you’re stuck in a cubicle and your office has a lounge or break room, use it! It’s been scientifically proven that taking short breaks in the middle of the workday increases productivity.

Small details like adding a couple of pots with cute plants and flowers and making sure your workplace is quiet enough to concentrate can also make your day more enjoyable. Some changes might not be possible without your employer’s consent, but look at it this way: You have some suggestions the next time you’re asked for your opinion!

How Amazon Makes Its Money

When we think of e-commerce success, our mind goes automatically to Amazon self-built empire. But is that really so?
As an Amazon customer myself, I know they make tons of money on a daily basis, but I’m really curious to see exactly where does that money come from. Apparently, it’s not only coming from my Prime subscription!

Amazon is worth an incredible 427 billion US dollars, almost double of Walmart’s net worth and a world away from Macy’s, Target and other regular retailers. More so, Amazon’s market reign will only grow: by 2021, the business will have grown around 50%.

it wasn’t always this good for the business: Amazon has long been maligned for its inability to produce money. In 2012 and 2014, Amazon had constant negative net profits, even after selling A LOT of stuff. Why is this? To put it shortly, retail isn’t a very profitable niche, and with all the shipping, warehouses and buying, money goes down the drain quickly.

In 2017, Amazon turned a corner, showing that it had 10 quarters in a row of sustained growth and positive net worth. How did they do it? By expanding to the non-retailer business. Amazon Web Services (AWS for short) are now the company’s biggest money-making branch, and while they sell online 24/7, web hosting is all profit and no loss.

Why Retirement Isn’t Always Relaxing

Some say that golf is a good walk ruined, but any popular golf club will likely have its fair share of retirees enjoying themselves. You may look on with envy, but retirement isn’t always as leisurely as we may expect.


According to today’s infographic, 3 out of 4 retirees don’t receive money from a pension fund, and nearly half leave the workplace earlier than expected.

 Retirement can be a difficult reality for many people. We might dream of traveling the world in our golden years, whether it’s cruising around the Caribbean or touring Europe. Of course, we’ll want to leave our estates to our families. But for many baby boomers, just getting through retirement is a struggle.

If your lifelong job has ended unexpectedly and sent you into early retirement, your retired years may not be as relaxing as you expected. There’s good news, though: preparing for retirement and being ready for any unwelcome surprises is a surefire way to make sure you don’t hit any wild bumps in the road.

If you’re planning a retirement and open to living abroad, our infographic on cheap places to retire gives you the scoop on the most cost-effective way to stop working.

Dog Camping Checklist

When it comes to getting in touch with the great outdoors, there is no better companion and camping buddy than your trusted best friend.  Dogs love the outdoors.   They do however need our special love and support to keep them fed, safe and comfortable during your outdoor expeditions together.  You’ll probably want to postpone camping until after you’ve successfully introduced them to your home.

Food and water are two of the most essential items that your hound is going to need on a daily basis. Maybe not so much the water as you are bound to comes across some streams, rivers and ponds that are going to be a welcome relief for both you and your dog..

Keeping your dog warm at night, considering that he may have been in the river late in the day, is something that needs to be taken into careful consideration. Having a dog towel to dry your dog, and a nice warm bed for them to sleep in is going to do them, and you, the world of good. Nobody likes a cold night’s sleep.  This actually got me searching dog beds, which is a whole new rabbit hole.  I was not aware that orthopedic memory foam dog beds existed!   This one’s just a travel bed:

Startling Facts About Fatal Car Accidents In The U.S.

In the United States, about 102 people die every day on our roadways. That’s more than four fatalities an hour, which is a sobering thought.  In South Carolina alone, someone dies every nine hours in a traffic collision. To stay safe while driving, you should be aware of the most common causes of car crashes. Those include driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol, following vehicles too closely, failure to yield to oncoming traffic, disregarding traffic signals and signs, and driving recklessly when the road is slippery or iced over. Unfortunately, distracted driving is also a cause of deaths.

With 15,900 accidents occurring daily on American roads, and with most occurring during commute times in favorable weather conditions, it is crucial to stay vigilant. Public transportation is also an option. It’s 60 times safer to ride the bus than it is to drive your own vehicle.

Human error contributes to 90 percent of vehicle crashes, and texting while driving makes it 23 times more likely to get in an accident. Driving under the influence is also a dangerous decision. Beyond the danger that it brings with arrests and legal fees, alcohol causes one on every three motor vehicle deaths.   Stay buckled and stay alert.

Everything You Need To Know About Reddit

Everybody has heard of Reddit, the sixth most popular website in the world. But if you somehow haven’t, here’s an explainer: It’s a place filled with both brilliant and awkward discussion boards, and it somehowbecame the front page of the internet. If you’re looking for any breaking news, good or bad, you should check Reddit first — most news breaks there first. Furthermore, Reddit is the reason why cats rule the internet, why videos become viral, but most importantly, why many key issues are discussed online.

While Reddit is a huge community with millions of users, there was a time when it wasn’t as popular. In fact, the history of Reddit is quite fascinating. It was created by two college roommates and grew into a massive platform that was acquired by Conde Nast for $20 million. Reddit faced a lot of challenges to get to where it is today.

For example, in the early days of Reddit, those college roommate founders, Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian, had to create fake accounts and post phony comments to drive up traffic. You can find numbers, data and many other facts (109 other ones, to be precise) in this infographic about our favorite news aggregation platform and place to discuss obscure facts. Enjoy.

Amazing Animals & Their Sleep Habits

Imagine this: You go to your a zoo to see your favorite animal, but they’re asleep in their enclosure. Well, there might be a specific reason why this animal is asleep. Certain animals have specific sleeping patterns that are beneficial to them, and today’s infographic gives you the reason behind it.

Some animals have a particular routine that they follow when they sleep. For example, sea otters hold hands when they sleep so they don’t drift apart. They like to be together, and holding hands allows them to feel safe and secure. On the opposite side of the spectrum, giraffes barely sleep. They are constantly on alert for predators, so they go without sleep for weeks on end.

As you may know, some animals partake in hibernation. Hibernation is when an animal goes into a deep sleep for the winter season. Did you know that there is more to hibernation than just sleep? Animals are going through physical changes while in hibernation such as a decrease in body temperature.

I hope I didn’t make you sleepy while you read this, but now you have a further understanding of why certain animals sleep as often as they do. If you’ve been having a rough time hitting the hay, use these tips and tricks for a sleepless night to help you out.

14 Corporations That Dominate the Global Auto Industry

If you’re going shopping for a car, you’ll likely see dozens of companies competing for your business. But you may not have realized that the vast majority of these brands are in fact owned by a handful of large corporations. There are only a few independent car manufacturers, and those that do exist struggle to stay afloat. When faced with the choice of shutting their doors or joining one of the world’s large automobile conglomerates, it shouldn’t be a surprise that most choose the latter.

Doing so comes with perks: Large companies share research and development costs amongst their various brands, bringing total expenses down. The different brands can also share facilities, structural components, logistics, streamlining production and increasing profits.

Bringing these brands together under a few corporate umbrellas has its drawbacks, the most significant of which is the elimination of competition, which stifles innovation. This leaves consumers with products that are sometimes difficult to differentiate, and can create a kind of internal competition that helps some of the corporation’s brands while hurting others.

What will happen when self-driving cars take over? As this fascinating infographic demonstrates, a lot of things will change. Take a look for yourself.

Will Online Shopping Kill Brick And Mortar Stores?

Once Amazon announced that it would purchase grocery retailer Whole Foods, many people speculated that e-commerce was starting to dominate brick and mortar stores. But is that true?

With the increasing popularity of online buying and selling, brick and mortar stores might like their days are numbered, but this might not be the case. In the U.S., in-store sales remain around 10 times more common than online transactions. On the other hand, online shopping has grown around three times faster, so traditional stores might fall behind in a short time.

But should physical storefronts start to worry? Stats show that slightly more than half of Americans prefer shopping online rather than in-store, and 67 percent of millennials and 56 percent of Gen Xers would rather shop online than in-store.

But could we really shop for everything online? Personally, I don’t think I could buy a car without seeing it in person! People like shopping in-store mainly because they can see and touch items first, while some items lend themselves better to e-commerce.

The takeaway from this infographic? Brick and mortar stores aren’t necessarily doomed, people would rather try things on and see them in person before purchasing, and the convenience of 24/7 shopping isn’t relevant when it’s time to make a big purchase you need to see in person.

How To Order Like A Pro At A Coffee Shop

We all know the fear that comes with trying to figure out what you want from a huge, unfamiliar menu. This is especially true for me when it comes to coffee shops because so many of the terms are unfamiliar and confusing. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed and too nervous to ask a barista for help, look no further than this infographic.


The difference between light and dark roast isn’t related to caffeine. It’s about the taste. Light roast is sweeter, whereas dark roast is more bitter. Each flavor profile is developed by roasting coffee beans at different time intervals and temperatures.

Two common coffee terms are drip and espresso. Espresso has a higher concentration of caffeine due to its method of preparation. Espresso is made by “forcing very hot water under high pressure through finely ground coffee,” while drip coffee is made by filtering boiling water through medium-coarse coffee grounds.

So let’s get to ordering. What’s the difference between a café latte and cappuccino? A latte is creamier with only a small amount of foam compared to a cappuccino. Generally, a cappuccino has less steamed milk and more foam on top. A café latte is essentially the same thing as a café au lait, but a café au lait is made with drip coffee instead of espresso. Keep calm and sip on, my friend. You’re basically an expert on coffee now.

This Is What Generation Z Thinks About

It’s a great time to be a millennial. We live on avocado toast, will probably never own homes, and know that the only way our student loans will disappear is when we eventually die, although we don’t have retirement plans.

Not all of that is true, of course. After all, we’re happy, environmentally conscious and driven by our creative spirits. We also operate in a world where hindsight is 20/20, and Generation Z is doing a better job than we are. A Gen Zer is someone between 14 and 21 years old, and they’re learning from our mistakes and and living their best lives as a result.

They’re already better with money than us. According to today’s infographic, this generation has enough in savings to make most of us jealous, and they also have better relationships with their parents than millennials. But we can comfort ourselves with the knowledge that we taught our younger siblings why it’s important to be politically aware and nice to Mom and Dad. And who knows if they’d have the pleasure of the pumpkin spice latte without us?

Us millennials were the trailblazers and Generation Z is just reaping the benefits. Or at least that’s what I tell myself from my studio apartments. Save us, Gen Z! We’ve got something for every generation:

This Is How Much Sleep You Need To Be Healthy

Humans spend, on average, one-third of our lives sleeping. So what exactly are our minds and bodies doing during that time? How much sleep do we need to be healthy?

Most adults only need seven to eight hours of sleep, but teenagers should get around nine hours nightly. In comparison, infants need an average of 16 hours each day. Although you may think your body will adapt to less sleep, science shows that your body will still show effects of sleep deprivation.

The more sleep you lose, the more sleep you’ll need in the following days. You become indebted as you lose sleep, and the worse your sleep “debt” is, the worse your symptoms will be. In fact, sleep-deprived individuals are at higher risk of obesity, heart disease, stroke and diabetes. According to research conducted by the University of Chicago, individuals who slept less than 4 hours each night had higher blood pressure and stress levels. They also showed symptoms of insulin resistance and developed fewer antibodies to protect themselves from the flu. All of these signs disappeared when the students got more sleep.

All sleep isn’t equal, either. There are two kinds of sleep: Non-REM and REM (rapid eye movement). Dreaming is common during REM sleep. During this time, the mind shows scattered brain waves, limbs become paralyzed, breathing shallows and eyes move. Non-REM sleep happens in 5 stages. During the first stage, your body is in a light sleep, and a falling sensation is common. As brain waves slow and the body relaxes, you enter stage two of non-REM sleep. Finally, the body enters a deep sleep. Between each stage of non-REM, REM sleep is happening. Maintaining a regular sleep schedule is essential to healthy living.

Food Waste Is A Huge Problem, & Here’s What Consumers Need To Know

The next time you think about cleaning out your refrigerator and tossing anything you don’t want to eat, consider this: Up to one-third of the food we produce is thrown away because of unnecessary food waste.  This is alarming information when you take into consideration that people in some parts of the world are struggling to find food, but even advanced countries struggle with food waste. The member nations of the European Union are all progressive and environmentally conscious, people are still wasting million of tons of food, and this waste is mainly coming from households.

One way to waste food unnecessarily is to toss something because of its expiration date. Expiration dates are suggestions from manufacturers and aren’t regulated by the FDA. With so many people around the world facing chronic hunger and food shortages, ending food waste could have a serious impact on pollution and CO2 emissions.

It’s no secret that food production and food disposal are responsible for greenhouse gas emissions, but this infographic shows just how detrimental food waste is, and it draws on numbers produced by European Parliament. You may be surprised as which European country leads the pack –– I know I was.

12 Phrases You Should Never Say at Work

You’ve probably heard someone say, “Think before you speak.” It’s a good idea to do this all the time, but it’s especially important at work.  If you say the wrong things in the workplace, you might get on a coworker or manager’s bad side. It’s all a matter of phrasing. You might say something in an effort to help, but if you aren’t careful with your wording, you may sound rude in the process. For example, if you tell a coworker, “That’s not my problem,” they may feel dismissed. Instead, you can give your coworker an idea of who they should speak with.

Another negative habit that’ll get you in trouble at work is poorly worded correction. If you tell someone, “You should have done this instead!” or “That’s not how this is done,” you’ll hurt their feelings and not get anything accomplished. Instead of obsessing over the problem, provide a solution.

Everyone should always think about how their words can affect other people, whether it’s at work or when communicating with strangers. You never know when your words will hurt someone, but you can change your vocabulary to decrease that risk.

10 Ways To Stop Checking Your Phone So Much

It’s 2018, and pretty much everything you need can be accessed through your cell phone. You can order food, talk to Siri or another voice assistant, and even meet the love of your life on a dating app!

We’re all dependent on our phones, but are you too dependent? If you panic when you don’t have a signal, check social media instead of talking to your friends, or get freaked out about a dying battery, you’re most likely too reliant on your smartphone. If you turn your phone off and hide it for 15 minutes, you may forget that you even had a phone in the first place. I’ve gone hours without having to worry about my phone, and I was able to be extremely productive. If you want to shy away from your unhealthy dependency, this infographic provides 10 ways to cut down on smartphone use.

You can try to turn off notifications. Turning off notifications prevent distractions and allow you to focus on what you’re doing. If you start small with unnecessary app reminders, you’ll eventually be able to turn off push notifications for email and social media without feeling guilty.

12 Ways To Give Negative Feedback Without Hurting Someone’s Feelings

I’m a member of a student organization, and I sometimes get negative feedback on ideas that I suggest. I’m able to take their feedback and make something positive of it. But there are times when negative feedback can come across as an insult, and it all depends on tone and delivery. Here are some tips that will help you give negative feedback in a way that doesn’t hurt someone’s feelings.

Feedback in the workplace helps employees and managers improve. But if you’re giving feedback, it’s a good idea to do it in a collaborative setting. Try starting meetings with self-reviews and ways to improve in the future.

If you’re receiving negative feedback, you have to be open-minded. You can’t be instantly offended because you feel like you’re being criticized. The other person may be doing you a favor. It’s all of matter of communication and listening.

Disagreements are bound to happen while getting negative feedback, but that’s okay. Approach the situation with an open mind, and try to find common ground to improve.

If negative feedback is given in a genuine way, it should help instead of hurting. Constructive criticism can make someone better and  more efficient. If you’re getting negative feedback from someone who genuinely likes you, it’s because they want you to become a better person.

How To Deep-Clean Your Carpet On A Budget

If you have a carpet, you know how filthy it can get if you’re not a regular cleaner. Who has time to vacuum, anyway?  But save for calling a specialist (or your parents), do you have the knowledge to handle any carpet emergency by yourself? If not, today’s infographic is for you.First, let talk about the ugly truth: there are around 200,000 microorganisms per square inch in your carpet at any given moment, and that’s just under normal wear-and-tear.

Add a pet or two, food spills or a lapse in cleaning, and things get pretty gross. Before you know it, you could be walking on a plush floor that’s actually filled with germs. In order to prevent this, the team at COIT have shared tried-and-true DIY recipes and tricks to keep your carpet as clean as it can be.

For regular maintenance, your carpet-cleaning kit doesn’t have to be complicated, and you can even pull it together with items that are probably already in your pantry or bathroom! If you have an accident and are panicked about an unsightly stain, everything is not lost. Did you know salt can keep that wine spot from setting in? Or that beer is a great coffee-stain remover? Take a few notes and soon enough, the pros will be calling you to ask for tips!

Why User Reviews Matter For Your Business

Just a few years ago, if you wanted to read a movie review, you had to read it in a newspaper from a professional movie critic. Yes, as hard as it is for younger generations to imagine, not everybody was a “professional” restaurant or movie critic before the early 2000s. It wasn’t until the Internet became popular and smartphone use exploded that we witnessed a huge influx of user reviews.

Websites like Yelp and Google’s Local Guides are just two of the websites that allow users to provide feedback. Now, don’t get me wrong. I love reading reviews. They are extremely beneficial for me when I’m making a decision about where to eat, and they’re also useful for business owners. You can learn a lot about a product or a service by reading what other people have to say, and businesses can evaluate that information to improve their customer service.

And that is exactly what today ‘s infographic focuses on. There’s a lot of data about user reviews and how they affect businesses. Did you know that user reviews increase sales by 18 percent, on average? I was shocked when I read that statistic, but user reviews help me decide whether to patronize a business. But then again, I, myself, usually skip buying a product, which wasn’t reviewed by a trusted source. User reviews are important — find out why.

This Is Why Cognitive Biases Are Harmful

Even if you try to seek out new opinions, sometimes you’ll still believe what you want to believe, regardless of evidence. We’re all human, after all.

These are our cognitive biases, which are sometimes paired with stubbornness and a strong desire to be right at all times.

Have you ever met someone and decided you loved them or hated them immediately? If you’ve only known them for a few minutes, how confident can you be about their personality?

Regardless of how inaccurate our feelings are, we shape our knowledge of the world with assumptions and past experiences. It helps us create a full picture of something or someone, which can be good and bad. Stereotypes are born from this, and we often rely on stereotypes to process information efficiently.

This is infographic is useful if you’re interested in objectively processing why your brain responds the way it does, but it’s probably not as useful when you meet someone and dislike them because they remind you of an ex who broke your heart. This cognitive bias codex will help you learn your own biases and  avoid unnecessarily awkward interactions in the future.

The Top Five Reasons Weddings End In Disaster

My sister’s wedding is next week, and she’s been very particular with planning. She has the venue reserved, the perfect dress, and her bridal party is ready to go. Even though she’s prepared, she’s still particular about every detail. She doesn’t want her wedding to be spoiled by anything, let alone something seemingly insignificant.

According to the team at WedSafe, the top reason couples have their weddings go awry is because they’re forced to cancel or postpone the ceremony. Some of the top reasons a ceremony has to be canceled or postponed are sudden, unexpected illness, severe weather or venues cancelling, you may be out cash if your day doesn’t go as planned.

A happy day can become quite sad if property damage takes place. If your guests get out of control because they’re intoxicated, they could end up damaging your wedding venue, which leads to you being charged hefty fees.

The simplest way to make sure your big day stays stress-free is to by investing in wedding insurance. If you need help getting started, check out WedSafe. They’ll give you all the resources you need to make sure your wedding goes smoothly.

Egg Yolks & Fresh Cheese: How Different Countries Take Their Coffee

How do you like your coffee? With egg yolks? Maybe some lemon juice? Or with a sprinkle of pepper? If these options startle you, you may be missing out on delicious coffee concoctions from around the world.

Personally, I like to order a soy mocha or large Americano the morning after not getting enough sleep. But this infographic has opened my eyes to all the other coffee possibilities. I wouldn’t say no to an Austrian Wiener Melange (60% milk foam, cocoa powder, steamed milk and espresso); or even an Indonesian Kopi Joss, with a piece of hot charcoal in an espresso. It sounds strange, but people swear by it!

If you’re looking for a little kick with your coffee, then there’s the Pharisäer from Germany, with sugar and rum. Or you can get even more adventurous and order the Norwegian Karsk, a drink that combines coffee, moonshine and sugar.

Changing up your coffee order could be a digestion risk, and the Vietnamese Ca Phe Trung with egg yolks and condensed milk may not be for everyone.

A Complete Guide To Whiskey Types & Flavors

I enjoy a whiskey the same way I enjoy dairy-based products: not for long. In the case of dairy, I’m lactose-intolerant. For whiskey, I’m just not a big fan.

I’m what most whiskey fans would consider a wimpy drinker — I prefer sweet over bitter, light over rough, and breathing over coughing. But according to this infographic, there are different ways to enjoy each type of whiskey (spelled with or without an ‘e’; depending on where you are in the world), even if you’re not a hardcore connoisseur. It’s almost got me tempted.

For example, if you want to impress your “manly man” boss, there is a whiskey for it. Try bourbon, which can be consumed with smoked ribs and is aged for at least two years. Or you could go for Tennessee whiskey, which is sweet with hints of charcoal.

Even if you’re someone who doesn’t love the taste of strong liquor, this infographic may convince you to give it another try. It also gives you signature drinks to try with each type of whiskey, so you’ll be able to order at a bar like a pro.

Whiskey is for people with purpose who aren’t afraid to try something new.

10 Tips For Learning A New Language Quickly

Can you imagine traveling to a foreign place and being able to communicate with the locals without a translator? The possibility to live the world from another culture’s perspective is one of the charms of learning a new language. Here are some of the best tips for mastering your Spanish, French or Swahili as you start to plan your summer vacations. Most expensive language schools offer “full immersion” courses that they claim work wonders for your newly acquired knowledge. What do you do when your budget won’t allow for a two-week language learning retreat? Make it happen at home!

Put some music on in the language of your choice while you do the dishes. Rent foreign movies to get accustomed to pronunciation. Turn the radio or television on while you do other things and you’ll see how much your accent and understanding improves in a short span of time.

Another great tip that helps is trying to narrate everyday activities in another language while doing them. This makes it easier to improvise ,and you’ll be surprised at how your vocabulary improves. In the end, language learning is less a matter of innate ability and more about not giving up. You can totally master another language in a few months — I believe in you!

50 Ways To Relax Without Spending Any Money

Compared to previous generations, we have a wealth of information at our fingertips, but there is no doubt that we have developed some bad habits as well. Stress in particular has a huge impact on our bodies and health, and being on our phones all the time can’t help. Regardless of your background, both your home and work environments can be pretty stressful. Finding ways to healthily relax has never been more important than it is now.

If you routinely feel overwhelmed, this infographic will provide useful information about how to chill out. For example, incorporating self-care every morning is crucial if you want to start your day on the right foot. Morning showers, stretches and a cup of tea or coffee can all prepare you for your work day. On your lunch break, try getting out into the sun and de-clutter your desk. Try to avoid eating fast food.

Like most things, de-stressing requires a fair amount of preparation. But it’s also important you don’t look for an easy fix. Getting rid of stress takes time and effort, and there’s no magical cure. If you’ve been feeling tense, it’s time to make changes, and today’s infographic is a fantastic starting point.

Marriage Counseling Strengthens Bonds and Reduces Divorce

While weddings are always a blast, marriage isn’t as easy. It can be a beast that requires a lot of hard work. Just ask the royal family. Prince Harry’s new bride Duchess Meghan is divorced, and Harry’s father, Prince Charles, is on his second marriage.

The first royal divorce made history in 1534 when King Henry VII infamously parted ways with his first wife Katherine of Aragon. The king even left the Catholic Church because the Pope denied his divorce request. In the end, Henry VIII had six wives, and he also started the Protestant Reformation.

In America, the divorce rate for a first marriage is a staggering 50 percent, and the rate for subsequent marriages is even higher. A good marriage counseling session can help a marriage heading towards divorce, as 75% of couples say their partnership improved after meeting with a counselor.

A marriage counselor can help married couples with the key reasons for marriage upheavals, which include poor communication, issues with in-laws, feelings of contempt, and loss of attraction.

Furthermore, counselors can help troubled couples sort out their unspoken issues, which is important, considering that 22 percent of marriages on the brink of failure have no clear reasons for the impending implosion. In an attempt to create a stronger bond that survives divorce, a counselor brings emotional and mental health into the relationship through actionable steps that improve communication and teach emotional intelligence to resolve lingering issues. Don’t knock it until you try it.

How Dog CPR Could Potentially Save Your Pet’s Life

The love between a dog owner and dog can’t be overstated. You want the best for your pet, and you take care of them by planning regular veterinarian visits, buying the best food and spoiling Fido with kisses. You may even be fluent in your dog’s language (body language, that is).


But would you be prepared if the unthinkable happened? What would you do if you came home and your dog was struggling to breathe? Learning animal CPR is just as important as mastering CPR for humans, and today’s infographic shares all that you need to know. Start out by laying your dog on his or her right side on a flat surface, then put both hands over the heart and push about 1/3 of the way down. Do this at a rate of 100 to 120 pumps per minute.

Every 30 or so pumps, close your dog’s snout and breathe into your dog’s nose twice. Continue for ten to fifteen minutes or until your dog regains consciousness. It’s a good idea to take a trip to an emergency vet as well, because something serious could be going on. Hopefully, you will never have to perform CPR on your dog, but if there ever is a time your dog needs it, you could potentially save your dog’s life.

The Evolution of Black Panther From 1965 – Today

Halloween is months away, but we can probably all assume that there will be a lot of mini-Black Panthers roaming the streets and attempting to make panther noises.

But if you’re an adult and you want to become T’Challa on Halloween (or any day of the week), why not stand out from the crowd and incorporate the superhero’s past looks and vintage standouts?

You could go retro with the black, gray and yellow look from 1965, when the character of Black Panther was first created. But if you’ve seen the recent movie, you know the Black Panther doesn’t like to stand out. Your other options allow you to lay low. Perhaps a black and gray suit with a cape from 2005? All you need is some black bin liners, a gray shawl and the prowess of a wild cat, and you’ve basically got the costume down.

Alternatively, if you’re looking for the least amount of effort with the greatest impact, then going all black with silver highlights is the solution you’ve been looking for, and it dates back to 2016’s Civil War. You can either buy a black leotard, get your hands on some silver chalk and go to town, or sew the entire outfit yourself from. Just don’t attempt to take on any bad guys or hop on cars like he does in the movies.

This Engagement Ring Gem Is Cheaper & Stronger Than A Diamond

It’s common knowledge that diamond is the hardest naturally-occurring mineral on the planet, and it’s used in industrial cutting and drilling. However, there is another mineral that shares many properties with diamonds. This lesser-known mineral is called moissanite, and some people consider it better than diamonds.


Diamond was discovered millennia ago in India, while moissanite was discovered by French scientist Henri Moissan in the last 19th century. Moissanite’s lack of popularity may be partially attributed to how new it is — it’s younger than the telephone.

Though diamond is the hardest mineral, moissanite comes very close, being rated a 9 to 9.5 on the hardness scale, falling slightly short of diamond’s rating of 10.  However, it makes up for this by being far more heat resistant. It can withstand temperatures up to 1,800 degrees Celsius before it burns. Additionally, moissanite has a slightly higher refractive index rating than diamond, making it shinier than a diamond ring. Because the gem is rare, nearly all moissanite today is synthetic.

How does the price compare? Diamonds are a whopping eleven-and-a-half times more expensive than moissanite! So if you’re ever shopping for a hard, shiny, heat-resistant mineral, go with moissanite for the best deal. Thinking about buying a diamond ring for engagement? If so, you may want to do some more research before committing to an expensive piece of jewelry. Here are some things to think about before buying that ring.

10 Surprising Skills You Gain From Music Lessons

If music be the food of love, then play on. Most of us are familiar with the famous phrase, but what if music is also the food of education? If you’re looking to become well-rounded, music is a great way to do so.

It starts with picking up an instrument. Simply plucking at a guitar or tapping on the drums won’t necessarily prepare you for a life of psychological and economical success, but if you dedicate yourself to studying music, it can be invaluable.

Maybe you’re good at sports, or perhaps you’re ambidextrous. Taking a music lesson will improve both skills. Want to become a corporate pusher and mover with and impress your boss? Music lessons can help you with that, too. Want your child to learn languages easier and faster? Music lessons can also be a step in the right direction.

Granted, you may not pick things up immediately, and it’ll take hours of practice before you can consider yourself an advanced musician. But once you get it, you’ll be able to credit music lessons for a lot of other skills, too. Think of it as the long game, or a really, really long song with a staggering crescendo at the end.

This Is How Far One Hundred Dollars Will Go In Each State

How much is $100 worth to you? If you’re 8 years old and get $10 from your grandma on your birthday, $100 dollars would probably seem like winning the lottery. On the other hand, if you have three kids, $100 is nice, but it won’t change your life. Everyone values money differently, and where you live also determines how far a dollar goes.


New York and California, two of the largest states in the nation, are places where $100 doesn’t go very far, and Hawaii is even worse. If you’ve ever vacationed in Manhattan or Maui, you may have experienced sticker shock. But if a city is considered desirable and people begin to move there, prices will invariably rise. As a result, people pay more rent and companies likely pay higher salaries.

On the other side of the spectrum is Missouri, where $100 is worth about 16 percent more than average. That makes it much easier to go shopping in Missouri than Hawaii, where $100 is worth about $84!

Would you rather live somewhere trendy and have less disposable income, or settle somewhere less glamorous and be able to buy a bigger home? To help you make your decision, look at 30 houses you can buy with $500,000 across the U.S. Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.

This Psychological Concept Can Help Aspiring Writers

Archetype may sound like a complicated word, but the meaning is simple: Famous psychologist Carl Jung described archetypes as universal patterns that are familiar in all stories. 

Jungian archetypes are behaviors and ways of understanding the world that are highly developed but that we aren’t immediately aware of. Their existence is deduced through the analysis of myth, art, dreams, stories, and religion. Basically, they’re everywhere — and even if you don’t speak another language, you’ll probably recognize archetypes in their art and culture.

Jung described archetypal events (like birth, death, marriage…) archetypal motifs (the apocalypse, the creation…) and archetypal figures (hero, caregiver, trickster…). But what does all of this mean for us today? It turns out that archetypes are still hugely significant, especially for aspiring writers.

Screenwriter Christopher Vogler took it a step further when he wrote The Writer’s Journey and proposed that Jung archetypal figures — typically used to describe character’s personalities — can be used to describe “influential forces” within a given narrative. From the Hero to the Herald to the Mentor, these personalities can not only serve as “characters” but also as ways to move a story ahead. Today’s infographic describes eight Jungian archetypes that can advance any story.

27 Delicious Protein Shake Recipes To Try ASAP

A protein shake is a great way to start off an early morning or prepare for a workout, but they don’t always taste great. Sometimes, they are too thick or they simply taste chalky. But worry not; your shake doesn’t have to taste like medicine! Here are 27 delicious and nutritious protein shake recipes you can add to your routine.


It doesn’t matter if you’re vegan, gluten-free, or soy-free, there’s a shake for you. Just look for the respective symbols next to the name on this infographic. Keep in mind, the kind of protein powder you use will affect the shake as well, since not all protein powders are made with diet intolerances in mind.

As an avid dessert enthusiast, I was drawn to the Strawberry Cheesecake shake immediately. Composed of strawberry or vanilla protein powder, strawberries, sour cream, graham crackers, and water, it’s a recipe that sounds like a great way to treat yourself after a day in the gym.

Another shake that caught my eye is the Orange Creamsicle, which is vegan, gluten-free, and soy-free. I’ve actually made a shake like this, minus the protein powder, and it was very tasty. All you need is protein powder, fresh OJ, orange zest, almond milk, vanilla extract and ice cubes. Give these recipes a try and even put your own twist on them to add some flavor to your life.

The History Behind Our Selfie Obsession

It’s easy to bemoan millennials for bringing selfies to the mainstream, but our tendencies towards narcissism and documenting ourselves through selfies date back hundreds of years.

The first selfies were taken when humans didn’t even have cameras. Self-portraits are considered a form of proto-selfies because they were the only way to showcase how we adored our lovely faces. Of course, there weren’t filters available and only artists had the ability to enjoy a good self-portrait, but the world changed once self-portraits became popular.

Fast forward a few hundred years. By the 20th century, cameras were available to the masses, which means the average person could document pretty much anything they wanted. But the technology of the 1900s didn’t exactly enable self-obsession. Cameras were too heavy to take a photo of yourself on the go unless you had a tripod ready (or an advanced camera lens).

The advent of the webcam made it easier to put our whole faces into the frame without issue, but really, who wants a low-pixel image unless you’re playing old-school video games? With the arrival of front-facing cameras, fancy smartphones and social media galore, the tools are in our favor and we can take as many selfies as we want. Believe me, Van Gogh would be jealous.

Cat Naps: Should You Share A Bed With Your Feline Friends?

As a proud cat owner, I have been guilty of falling asleep with my pets on more than one occasion. But should we share the bed with our furry friends?

The main reason cats shouldn’t be in the bed is that felines are nocturnal animals. This means that unless you do something about it, they’ll be up and about all night, making sleep nearly impossible. Besides, they’ll have more time to stare at you for hours on end. Not my favorite part about sleeping with Whiskers!

At night, bored cats can be annoying and downright aggressive: Suddenly, our feet become the best toy and every movement causes excitement — and a few scratches — from our best friends. To avoid this, we need to emulate how our cats would behave in the wild: hunt, catch, eat and rest. As our homes aren’t exactly forests with prey waiting to be caught, cat toys are the next best thing: Play with your cat until it’s tired and panting a little, then let them catch the toy.

As they gloat, give them their food. Afterward, you’ll have a sleepy cat in your hands that will be out all night. Do this before every meal and you are guaranteed to have a well-behaved cat 24/7. Easy peasy!

Impress Your Office With These Microsoft Excel Tricks

Knowing how to use Microsoft Excel in the workplace is pretty much expected these days, and even though most of us have working knowledge, it’s safe to say we stick to a few basic commands for most of our needs.

For me, Excel is one of those programs that I haven’t mastered — I’d make charts by hand. It turns out it’s hard to be an effective office worker without knowing your way around Microsoft Excel, and my ignorance has caused me more than one desperate Google search minutes before a presentation is due. This infographic shows you how to avoid unneeded stress and become an Excel expert.

If your day job involves numbers, Excel can make your life much easier before a big meeting. Even if you struggle to make a bar graph like me, today’s infographic provides enough context that you’ll be a master in now time. Whether you choose to use conditional formatting to automatically highlight certain values or using the forecasting feature to help guess future outcomes, you’ll become the hero of your office.

Again, this isn’t only for Excel experts. If you’ve reluctantly worked with Excel without trying to really learn the program, today’s infographic will make your life that much easier. Say hello to impressive presentations!

The Top 40 Imports And Exports In The U.S.

There’s a long-running joke that everything in the U.S. is made in China. While it’s said in jest, it does raise an interesting question: What does the rest of the world buy from the United States? Find out in today’s infographic about the top imports and exports in the country.

This infographic calculates the top imports and exports by both value and weight, so you get an idea of the heaviest and most expensive items. Many of our beloved electronics are imported from elsewhere, and we also get printers, car parts and sweaters from neighboring nations.

With so much of our staples coming from foreign countries, what could the rest of the world want from us? Americans export food items like poultry and sugar, and American-made cars are still in high demand overseas. Even though much of our car production has been outsourced, the U.S. is still a big player in the automobile industry. Other top exports include scrap paper and metal, plastic and hay.

Have you ever considered the journey your package took to get to your doorstep? It turns out the vast majority of packages are delivered by old-fashioned trucking, not water, rail or air.

The Ultimate Guide On How Often You Should Clean Your Stuff

How do you decide when to clean certain items? It’s easy to do laundry once you run out of clothing, but how do you know when to clean your oven or the windows?

Today’s infographic might make you feel a wee bit unsanitary, but don’t worry — most of us aren’t adhering to these guidelines in our daily lives. Who knew you could vacuum a mattress — let alone that you should be doing it every six months? There is good news for the lazy, though: Your jeans only have to be washed every four to five wears, so don’t feel bad about leaving them in a heap on the floor.

Some of these targets seem plain unrealistic, but it all depends on your lifestyle. Washing your car once every week will definitely get tiresome, but it could be worth it if your car gets dirty really quickly. One of the big shockers on this list: Our purses and wallets carry E.Coli, the bacteria associated with human feces, so those need to be scrubbed often as well.

How To Reduce Your Chance Of Hoverboard Injury

Personal electric vehicles, or “electric rideables,” are as fun as they are dangerous. Personal electric transporters come in a variety of compact designs and can go 5-15 mph, while going up to a distance of 20 miles with one charge. Some examples include electronic scooters and unicycles, electric skateboards and hover boards. While these machines are relatively cheap and better for the environment than a traditional vehicle,  widespread reports of serious injury, fatal accidents and exploding batteries are alarming.

In particular, the hoverboard is of concern. The hoverboard is immensely popular but is under limited regulation, and it’s caused 26,000 emergency room visits in the last two years, according to a study in the journal Pediatrics.

Most injuries occur to young boys, and the most common electric rideable injuries involve bone fractures and severe contusions. Before you or a loved one hops on an electric hoverboard, skateboard, scooter, or unicycle, read the instruction manual and do a pre-trip inspection. These simple steps are often skipped, but they can keep you out of harm’s way.

Furthermore, wear safety gear like a helmet, avoid rides during bad weather, and only navigate flat land without any debris. In addition, remember that rideables require self-balancing, so practice in a safe place before you hit the streets, and always maintain a sensible pace when motoring through heavily-trafficked areas.

While electric rideables are tough to learn, with some practice, they become an extension of you and are a 21st century spin on the traditional bicycle. By remembering a few safety measures and riding defensively, you can have a great time and save money on gas while staying out of harm’s way.

Famous Personality Types

Personality and self assessment tests are a good exercise to run through when you need a bit of direction. Keep in mind, they can’t definitively tell you who you will become and what you’ll be best at.  Only you can figure that out.  But being able to shine some light on the best path or direction has its appeal.  These tests might bring to light something you’ve missed.

Now unfortunately, when I took this test I was tied between two personality styles. A person with more than just one personality type (this doesn’t make you a crazy person) gives you different viewpoints that show you can exhibit more than one way of thinking.

I can look at the following infographic to see what I have in common with some of the most iconic people in the world.  That being said, I don’t believe that I will ever be the president or sing a hit song that brings tears to people’s eyes.

What is great about this infographic is that you can study these real life successful people. You can recall a specific scene the actor was in, or a famous speech that was given in history to derive a little energy out of your results. As the saying goes, if they can do it, so can you.

The Ultimate Guide On How Often You Should Clean Your Stuff

How do you decide when to clean certain items? It’s easy to do laundry once you run out of clothing, but how do you know when to clean your oven or the windows?

Today’s infographic might make you feel a wee bit unsanitary, but don’t worry — most of us aren’t adhering to these guidelines in our daily lives. Who knew you could vacuum a mattress — let alone that you should be doing it every six months? There is good news for the lazy, though: Your jeans only have to be washed every four to five wears, so don’t feel bad about leaving them in a heap on the floor.

Some of these targets seem plain unrealistic, but it all depends on your lifestyle. Washing your car once every week will definitely get tiresome, but it could be worth it if your car gets dirty really quickly. One of the big shockers on this list: Our purses and wallets carry E.Coli, the bacteria associated with human feces, so those need to be scrubbed often as well.

The State Of The Blogging Industry In 2018

It seems like everyone’s launching a blog these days, but blogging has now been around since the 1990s. While the early days were a little bit shaky and uncertain, the blogging industry has managed to become a powerhouse that’s growing at a rapid rate. Today’s infographic focuses on last year, but there’s still a lot to learn.  The U.S. alone has over 30 million bloggers, which captures almost 30 percent of the market. To give you perspective, the next biggest blogging country is the UK with 7 percent of the world’s bloggers.

When blogging first emerged, it was usually a tool used by people with passion projects and hobbies. However, as blogging became ubiquitous, opportunities for revenue arrived. Those who got in early lucked out, as the blogging industry is nearly oversaturated with millions of people competing for sponsorships. But if you do get in the game now, be prepared to spend a lot of time on your website — the average blogger spends more than three hours crafting the perfect post.

And if you’re a business owner who doesn’t have a blog, you may want to reconsider. According to this research, business owners see a 126 percent increase in lead generation if they blog about their industry.

8 Ways To Conquer Self-Doubt

Making decisions is hard. So is sticking by them and doing what’s best for ourselves. These things shouldn’t be difficult, but for many of us they are, and they can lead us to second guess ourselves.

More often than not, when self-doubt comes a-knocking, we answer as quickly as possible and accept whatever is being handed to us from the other side of the door. So how do we get out of the cycle of self-doubt? We can’t eradicate it completely, but we do have the power to respond in confidence when it arises.

Whether it’s getting to know ourselves better and figuring out what triggers self-doubt, to practicing self-compassion, there are little things we can do that make a big difference. And when it comes to ignoring the critical voices of others, we could all use a bit more practice.

The key is to get to a place where we no longer put all our trust in the opinions of others and instead we make decisions that make us happy. This infographic has smart tips to help you overcome that pesky self-doubt once and for all.

How To Tell Whether A News Source Is Credible

Decades ago, the only people we got our news from were trusted evening newscasters. Anyone can post news online now, which leads to an abundance of sensationalized and downright fake news stories. To stay properly informed, follow these steps to learn how to vet online news articles.


The most important component of any news article is the headline. Many can be misleading and inaccurately misrepresent the article, so read the entire article and not just the headline to get an idea of what is actually going on. Also, if a headline sounds too outrageous to be true, it often is, so be alert.

Credibility is also important. The author, news outlet, and quoted sources all contribute to the trustworthiness of a news article. If the article comes from an unfamiliar source, doesn’t list an author, or doesn’t have sources, then you should do your research before sharing. Even reputable publications make mistakes, and you should try to find a second source to confirm any information you encounter.

Finally, make sure the news source is recent and the URL looks legitimate. A fake news site may misspell the name of a reputable publication to seem more reliable. If you’ve followed these steps, you can call yourself a news detective!

The Bona Fide Benefits of Imitation Leather
a

I’ve been a vegetarian for 20 years, and I steer clear of leather as a result. Admittedly, it has been a challenge at times, but in the last few years, finding a decent meal and durable faux leather has become increasingly easier. Imitation leather is sometimes thought of as an inferior fabric, but the materials used to make imitation leather fabric are widely available. It is usually made from a high-quality, vinyl-based or plastic material. It can be used in all of the ways that leather is used while being more affordable and cruelty-free.

In particular, polyurethane, a polymer which combines the strength of rigid plastics and the elasticity of rubber, creates a perfect leather look and feel without the price or animal byproducts that come with genuine leather.

The benefits are numerous. For example, polyurethane “leather” requires less maintenance than real leather because it is stain and fade-resistant and maintains a consistent color even in the worst weather conditions. Furthermore, it can be cleaned with a towel and warm water if it gets dirty. Unlike genuine leather, the synthetic version does not retain moisture, so it does not warp or crack.

So, whether you are looking for leather seat covers, a comfortable pair of hiking boots, or inexpensive upholstery for your car or your home-decorating project, artificial leather is your affordable and low-maintenance alternative to genuine leather.

The Best Beard Style For Different Face Shapes

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder — but if you’re wanting to up your chances of being considered attractive, today’s infographic is for you. If you don’t have a beard, you may not realize they can transform your face shape. You just need to know how to use facial hair to your advantage. Men, think of a beard like makeup. Ideally, you’ll add contrast and dimension to your face without looking unnatural or distracting. If you have a long face, a square face or even no chin, there’s a beard for you here.

Facial hair won’t take care of itself, so if you want to keep it looking great, you’ll need to do some upkeep from time to time. This includes washing with shampoo, as well as applying some conditioner a couple times a week and trimming it from time to time, even if you’re letting it grow long.

A well-trimmed beard can make you a feel a lot more handsome and rugged, especially once you’re aware of your face shape and what flatters you best. If you want to look more masculine, go for a trim that will enhance your strong. If you want to make your face appear bigger, skip the beard altogether and go for a clean shave. Don’t be afraid to get creative!

How To Make Sure Your Kids Are Money-Savvy

As a parent, you do everything you can to prepare your children for the real world.  But are your kids money-savvy and knowledgeable about finances?
Beyond receiving an allowance, many of us didn’t receive many lessons about money from our parents. It’s one of those topics that can become taboo in many families. Whether it’s because of a tight budget, religious reasons or pure unwillingness, American families avoid discussing money with their children, even when they grow older.

To be honest, “money talk” shouldn’t be limited to a piggy bank and a vague recommendation to save for the future. Being financially educated involves knowing not only that you should save, but how to manage money wisely and stick to a budget. As an adult, you can even share your own mistakes with your children in the hopes that it helps them.

It shouldn’t be too complicated to teach your children financial literacy. In fact, you can turn daily activities into learning opportunities for every member of the family. Grocery shopping, for example, can be a great learning experience if you and your kids talk about why you shop as you do. What do you consider a splurge? Which items do you buy generic, and which are name-brand? The possibilities are endless, and once you’re on the lookout for them, you’ll see them everywhere!

A Complete History Of “Stories,” A Snapchat & Instagram Staple

The introduction of IGTV on Instagram — a video streaming service designed to get users to spend more time in the app — is a reminder that it’s easy to waste a lot of time on social media. If you aren’t into longform video content, you can stick to Snapchat and Instagram stories.

Not only are they a lot of fun, but stories have become revolutionary for marketers, influencers and businesses all over the world. Snapchat first introduced stories in October 2013, and in 2016, Instagram took the idea and ran with it.

Stories allow you to poll your friends, edit pictures creatively and even share snippets of your life with the people who follow you. You don’t have to be a social media superstar to take advantage of the tool. You can use stories to bring your own version of reality television to the small screens of your audience.

Today, more than 300 million users snap stories or post them via Instagram or even WhatsApp Status, and interactive stories have become a go-to for increasing social media engagement.

The most active industries using Instagram stories include fitness and fashion, but retail and technology are not far behind. Snapchat Discover Stories are ruled by Buzzfeed, Comedy Central, iHeart Radio, the Food Network, and ESPN, covering everything from cake-making to sports highlights. Regardless of what you love, there’s a story for it.

50 Reasons To Take Yourself Less Seriously

Remember when we’d spend our days running around outside with our closest friends? Once we become adults with 9-to-5 jobs, playing outside feels less appealing — but you should still believe in the power of play.

Today’s infographic is all about taking yourself less seriously. Many of the quotes here address the importance of playtime for children, but as Nobel laureate George Bernard Shaw once said, “We don’t stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.”

Did you know that just playing peek-a-boo with a child can help stimulate their brains, even if they’re too young to walk and talk? And if you want to have an active imagination, you have to make time to get a bit silly and daydream. Even if you weren’t a playful child, you can still become a playful adult and reclaim some of that lost wonder.

What should you do? Go outside and dance in the rain, read a picture book, play with Legos, or even play a game of hopscotch. Only you know what’ll awaken the child within you, and it’s okay to take some time figuring it out.

Legalized Cannabis Is Big Business — This Is Why

The recreational sale and use of cannabis is still federally restricted, but that hasn’t stopped eight states and Washington, D.C. from making it legal within their borders. Furthermore, 29 states have laws allowing medicinal use of marijuana. The eight states where cannabis is legal include California, Washington, Massachusetts, Colorado, Oregon, Nevada, Maine, and Alaska. Typically there are restrictions on whether or not marijuana seeds can be grown and in what quantity. In total, these states racked up $17.9 billion in revenue in 2017, and that created $745 million in state tax revenue.

Statistics show that recreational users in states where it is legal purchase $45 worth of cannabis every two weeks. The primary customers are millennials between 21 and 35 years old, which make up 41 percent of cannabis consumers. followed by 26 percent of people between 36 and 45, 16 percent between 46 and 55, and 17 percent are 55 and older.

By 2025, the business of selling pot is set to reach $24.1 billion and create more than 300,000 jobs. However, the industry is still highly regulated with no protection from federal law. Acquiring a loan and setting up a shop is a difficult process with lots of red tape, and advertising is tricky, even as social acceptance of marijuana is growing rapidly. At this time, some dispensaries are cash-only operations because of the uncertain legal climate.

However, the tides are changing, and with the cannabis industry in the midst of an open revolution, discussions about marijuana consumption has become less taboo. It’s possible that the government will soon follow suit.

What Size Pet Door Should You Buy?

If you’re a pet owner, you’ll know how often your pet wants to go outside. The convenient solution for their outside needs would be a pet door. Don’t know where to start? Well, we’ve made it a lot easier for you!

Today’s infographic can help you choose the most suitable size of pet door as per the breed of your furry friend. Once you have decided to buy a pet door, your first consideration will be its size. Pet doors are not a ‘one size fits all’ deal and the dimensions will vary as per the size of your pet. For example, I own two chihuahuas, so I would need a 6” x 7” door.

The bigger the pet, the larger the door you’ll need. If you’re not confident in buying the door right away, no problem. Test out the size of the door by making a cardboard cut out of the dimensions recommended. It’ll give you the perfect image of what your door would look like.

I hope you get the perfect idea of what size pet door you’ll need for your new best friend. If you need more help on how much to spend on your furry friend, here are the costs for owning a pet.

How To Find Your Dream Job In 2018

Hiring trends continue to change as the world evolves — what worked in 2008 won’t work today. We can credit technology for a lot of these changes —  more than 43 percent of U.S. employees have worked remotely at some time. As a job seeker, your expectations and your knowledge will help you land your dream job. Find out more about recruitment trends in the U.S.


Both remote work and artificial intelligence are expected to skyrocket this year and continue growing. If you’re worried about robots taking your job, you don’t have to sweat yet — AI won’t replace human workers anytime soon. In most offices, it’ll only assist in the hiring process.

That means that standing out from the competition is more important than anything else, especially if recruiters begin to use tools to automatically eliminate candidates. Sharpen up the resume, do your research on your target company, and come up with a good story about why you should work there.  Video interviews are also expected to increase as the year goes on — it can help recruiters assess whether you’d be a good fit for the position.

Employers are also expected to make the application process easier so that candidates don’t leave feeling burned out. Applications will become shorter and instructions will be more clear, so finding the dream job will be much easier than it was in the past. If all else fails, you can create your dream job.

The Future of Self-Driving Cars

Entrepreneurship has always driven the boundaries in the automobile industry, from the first car created by Karl Benz in 1886 to Henry Ford’s assembly lines that began mass-producing the Model T in 1913.The current push for self-driving cars is no different. In the long run, removing human error from the driving equation will likely make roads much safer. Self-driving cars uses sensors that “see” 360 degree around them, and autonomous cars are never distracted from the task of driving. At best, people have a 200-degree field of vision, lose focus easily, and let emotions get the best of them, whether it’s succumbing to road rage or checking our phones.

Safer and more efficient roadways will lead to fewer fatalities, lower insurance costs, less traffic, and reduced fuel consumption. However, there are obstacles blocking the widespread use of self-driving cars, and the most serious ones make headlines that create concern. For these reasons, consumers are wary of the technology. Some municipalities have even banned the use of self-driving cars.

The fear is so rampant that 56% of U.S. adults say they would not ride in an autonomous car, according to the Pew Research Center. Regardless, the main players in the self-driving car race — iconic names like Tesla, Apple, and Uber — keep moving forward with improved autonomous technology. Tesla founder Elon Musk believes that in ten years, most cars coming off the assembly line will be autonomous, and he is angry that some reports focus only on the negative side of self-driving vehicles.

“They should be writing a story about how autonomous cars are really safe,” Musk said in a recent earnings call. “But that’s not the story that people want to click on. They write inflammatory headlines that are fundamentally misleading to readers. It’s really outrageous.”

Maybe Musk is right. Since January 20, 2016, there have been four fatalities involving cars that were driving at some level of autonomy, and across the globe, an average of 3,287 people die each day in automobile accidents. Autonomous cars might provide a solution to these tragic numbers.

5 Ways To Make Your Workplace More Productive

Most workplaces encourage you to take breaks, but when you are working, you’re supposed to be productive. But what do you do if you can’t focus?

Your workplace environment can be the key to boosting your productivity levels. This is mainly because a lot of offices and workplaces aren’t designed to boost focus and communication, making it more difficult for employees to find their productivity strike.

In fact, workplace design has been shown to increase (or decrease) your work output. Check today’s infographic to see how your office measures up, and pay attention to the five ways to increase productivity!

For example, a Cornell University study found that workers exposed to low noise were more stressed than others exposed to zero noise. There’s a reason to spring for noise-canceling headphones!

Another interesting find? The colors on your walls can have a big impact on your daily performance. If you can convince your employer to paint the walls green or blue, you could find yourself getting more done. If you want to start small, you could get a bright poster with those colors!

Studies are showing that traditional office spaces don’t work well for fostering collaborative, innovative and productive workplaces. Open office spaces that encouraged idea sharing and collaboration make it easier for everyone to enjoy the workday. Make sure you forward today’s infographic to your boss!

Is That Opinion Hate Speech? Here’s A Checklist To Find Out

Words are powerful, and a simple tweet or social media post can quickly go viral. But should journalists cover every hateful thing that’s said by someone in the public eye? Better yet, how do you determine whether something is actually hate speech?

There is a fine line between informing the public and giving people with hateful views a platform to advertise their position and possibly recruit others. For socially-conscious journalists, it can be difficult to ignore the repercussions their pieces might have once they are released to the masses.

Hate speech is any expression serving to vilify any given group of people that encourages harm to a group’s members. But because the U.S. has wide First Amendment protections, it’s difficult to actually know whether something is hate speech that shouldn’t be shared by a news reporter. If someone espouses hate for a group based on gender, race or any other factor, should they be ignored? On the other hand, legitimate concerns about freedom and people’s safety shouldn’t lead to unwarranted censorship.

It’s a journalist’s job to differentiate between hate speech that doesn’t need additional attention and a controversial opinion to avoid silencing valid criticism of dominant values or institutions.If you’re a communicator, you must fight cynicism and spread knowledge through your work. When in doubt, this five-point checklist will help you decide whether something has news value.

The Fourth Of July By The Numbers

Anyone who’s taken a basic U.S. history class knows the significance of July 4. It’s America’s Independence Day and a celebration of the country becoming free. But 1776 isn’t the only important number related to the holiday.

Today’s infographic is from The History Channel, and it has everything you need to know about July 4 from the 18th century until present day. Did you know 13 of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were under 35? In today’s world, they wouldn’t be old enough to run for U.S. Senator!

Even though July 4 was clearly a monumental day, it didn’t become a federal holiday until 1941, although states like Maryland celebrated long before it was officially declared a holiday. President George Washington marked the second anniversary of Independence Day by giving his soldiers extra rum.

Today, most Americans attend a fireworks show, and 1 in 4 people will set off their own fireworks. If you aren’t one for fireworks, you’ll probably still attend a BBQ and eat a hot dog — 150 million weiners are consumed on the holiday nationwide.

How Remote Employees Can Become Team Leaders

This isn’t your grandmother’s job market. Most jobs today are increasingly mobile, which requires flexibility from employees.  From having your IT crew on the other side of the world to working from home and saving money on a babysitter, remote work allows a ton of opportunities.

This means that traditional leadership schemes aren’t working anymore. So how can you increase productivity and manage a team in today’s global workplace? When it comes down to it, remote teams aren’t that different from traditional ones. If you have a great team, distance won’t change that. On the other hand, teams that have a hard time with communication will fall apart when working remotely.

The real secret to effective remote work is having a plan and a process in place. When every member of the team knows their role and has an understanding of expectations, it’s way easier for everybody to be organized and for you to excel as a manager.

The other advantage of a clear process? Team leaders can delegate more effectively based on everybody’s strengths, lessening the tendency to micromanage every step of the way. Undoubtedly, working remotely is a challenge for some people, but it also offers a chance to achieve a true work-life balance.

This Is One Of The Most Effective Stress Relievers For Teenagers

If you’re out of your teen years, you may have forgotten how difficult they can be. That tumultuous time is incredibly difficult and messy — but there’s an easy way to get rid of some of that stress.

School sports have been shown to help ward off teenage angst. Some people may scoff at the idea of teenagers needing a place to blow off some steam when they don’t have bills or many responsibilities, but it’s not easy to face societal and academic pressure at a young age.

In fact, 27 percent of teens experience extreme stress during the school year, and 31 percent say their stress has increased over the previous 12 months. Perhaps even more worrisome: 34 percent expect stress to increase within the next year.

Whether you’re a teenager or the parent of a high schooler, a team sport is a great option. Exercise can help reduce stress and give kids an opportunity to bond with each other.  However, it’s important to note that young athletes will still experience an ample amounts of stress.

Balancing practice times with homework isn’t always easy, and some kids may get nervous when all eyes are on them. Additionally, some sports have higher injury rates. But don’t worry —as long as you know your boundaries and educate yourself on to how to prevent injuries, you’ll be fine.

How To Choose An Online Casino

You can do pretty much anything online these days — pay your bills, catch up with friends, and even order next week’s groceries. So why should casinos be any different? Thanks to the power of technology, you can visit a casino without leaving the comfort of your home. Before you decide to trust an online casino website, you have to make sure it’s a trustworthy place that will provide a good experience for you.  Fair warning, make sure you understand the psychology of gambling before playing in a casino, and don’t gamble anything you can’t afford to lose!

First, make sure the casino is licensed. That information should be displayed prominently on the casino’s homepage, and it makes sure that you aren’t falling into the wrong hands. Next, check to see who’s providing the games. Top-notch casinos have trusted game providers, which means you have a bigger chance of winning.

Once that’s all squared away, read the Terms & Conditions on the casino’s website. Any provider that’s offering a fair game will make sure they’re clear about how it works in the fine print.

Today’s infographic provides even more insight into the world of online casinos. Some don’t even require cash, and it’s even possible to look for the best bitcoin casino if that’s what you prefer.  Play responsibly!

16 Ways To Help Your Dog Fight The Summer Heat

In case you somehow missed it, it’s extremely hot outside in most of the U.S. right now. As you relax by the pool with popsicles in-hand, there’s someone else you should consider: Your dog. Feeding and walking Fido isn’t the only thing you need to do right now. Even though dogs are somewhat self-sufficient animals, they require our help to stay healthy on scorching summer days.

Dogs have their own mechanisms to cope with hot weather, but sometimes the temperature is just too high for them to respond adequately. Luckily, this infographic has a number of ways to help your dog beat the heat.

Some of the solutions sound silly at first glance — most Rottweilers probably wouldn’t tolerate dog boots. Most of the suggestions are easy to pull off and require only slight tweaks to what you’re already doing.

Keeping your house cool and your furry friend hydrated will ensure maximum comfort. Avoid leaving your dog in your hot car, and don’t go on walks when the heat is brutal. Winter will be here before we know it, but until then, do your best to stay cool.

What Is The Internet Of Things? Learn More About How It Affects Your Life

The internet of things is coming to get you! Just kidding — you’ve already fallen into its trap. But that’s not a bad thing. The term sounds vaguely scary, but it just means technology is rapidly changing.

We can connect to the Internet through our phones and computers, but also our refrigerators, thermometers and security systems. A friend purchased a wireless printer that also plays music. I think it’s cool, but I’m also thinking, “Why does it exist?” Music won’t make a printer more efficient, but I suppose it makes the whole experience a little more pleasurable.

And according to this infographic, technology and the Internet only stand to become a bigger part of our lives in the next two years. Experts predict that by 2020, each person will have 26 smart objects, which means that we’ll become even more reliant on technology than we already are. Forget the Roomba or voice-activated stereo systems. Soon, we’ll look like the characters in Wall-E who whiz around on hover chairs and are fed by robot machines.

If you already use that voice-to-text app to send the text messages you’re too lazy to type, then you’ve embraced the internet of things. It’ll only get more interconnected from here.

55 SEO Tips For Small Business Owners

Knowing best practices for search engine optimization can make you a lot of money, but even now, a lot of small businesses aren’t really using it to their advantage.

If you want to improve your SEO ranking without hiring a pro, today’s infographic is for you. We’re exploring the importance of keywords and how a high ranking can lead to conversions. Your potential customers have short attention spans, which is why your search placement can make or break your online sales numbers.

If you haven’t thought about SEO, you may think it seems daunting. The digital marketing world is crowded with metrics, jargon, and technical talk — it can be confusing for a newbie to dip their toes in the keyword-filled waters. Nevertheless, you should make an effort, because SEO might be a saving grace when it comes to small businesses staying afloat with so many mega-corporations around.

Most people search for a company online before actually buying, and most customers visit a store after an online search. This means that your clients can increase exponentially even if you own a brick-and-mortar business. All you need is some patience and the right keywords. Take a look at these tips and make your website earn you money — with dozens of nuggets of information, this infographic is a must for small business owners.

A Robot Could Steal Your Job One Day

You probably feel secure in your job. But what if someone steals your position one day? And not just anyone, but a competitor you won’t ever be able to beat?
Could a robot take your job? Technology makes our lives easier — from personal assistant devices like Siri to ordering a car ride with the touch of a button, it’s invaluable. But that won’t matter much if you end up unemployed because of it.

According to research by Leisure Jobs, robots will eliminate 47 percent of the human workforce by 2035. Leisure’s searchable database of occupations provides a customized infographic for 900 jobs, from animator to zoologist. Need to know if your bicycle repair gig is safe? You can find out here. The example shown on the static infographic is economists, who have a medium chance of becoming obsolete.

The data was collected from the in-depth white paper “The Future of Employment,” a job automation studyfrom the University of Oxford that says intelligent machines are most likely to steal factory jobs and occupations requiring data processing, such as accounting. The safest jobs include social workers and therapists, clergy, and other positions that require a person’s judgment, like being a judge.

This startling infographic may have you scrambling. Whether you’re at the beginning of your career or a seasoned veteran, robots could be coming for you.

How To Get Millennials Excited About Your Brand

How reliant are you on technology? The answer is probably “very” regardless of your age, but if you’re a millennial, you’re likely even more dependent. Millennials don’t know a world without the Internet, and it’s second nature for them. We use technology to order our food, buy pretty much everything, and even find romantic partners.

About half of millennials shop online, and nearly all millennials carry smartphones. An even more encouraging statistic: More than 80 percent of millennials interact with brands in some way.

With nearly 90 million Americans fitting into the millennial category, they’re a huge part of your target demographic as a business owner. What can you do to make your company more appealing?

Consider making your website mobile-friendly. Remember, millennials have smartphones and aren’t afraid to use them frequently. You should also think about whether your brand as a higher cause — TOMS is a great example of a company that advocates for social good. Millennials are drawn to companies that are generous, and they also love affordability.

If you want to appeal to a bigger market, try marketing your products to millennials online. The chances are good that you’ll profit from the decision, and it’ll create loyal customers for your brand. Whether you use content marketing or decide on something more traditional, the potential for a high return on investment is good.

10 Wildly Successful Executives Share Their Sleep Schedules

Do you ever wonder how the lives of successful entrepreneurs differ from our boring days? If you’re a fan of sleeping in, I’ve got bad news for you: Successful people are committed to morning rituals.


Success waits for no one, as they say. Tim Armstrong, CEO of AOL, starts sending out emails right when he wakes up. On late days, that means he’s composing messages at 7 a.m. Something that most of the world’s wildly successful executives have in common: They prioritize a good night’s sleep.

Regardless of your job title, you need adequate sleep to be productive. Carpe Diem — seize the day! — isn’t exactly possible if you’re sleeping until the afternoon. It may feel good to stay up all night, but you’ll probably regret that decision.

Even in the early days, people needed to get their sleep to stay productive. Carpe Diem is a Latin aphorism which means – ‘seize the day!’. However, you probably won’t be able to seize the day if you wake up at noon. It may feel good to procrastinate but it might come back to bite you.

Set your alarm early — Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey wakes up at 5:30 a.m. to meditate every day. Some of the leaders featured in today’s infographic admit that they don’t prioritize sleep, but you should still make an effort. Regulate your sleep pattern and you’ll have something in common with the greats.

50 Dirt Cheap Cities For A Romantic Getaway

With Amazon Prime Day deals kicking off today, it may be easy to get caught up in the rabbit hole of accumulating material things.  But if you’re looking for happiness beyond gadgets and toys, psychologists say to have experiences, instead of buying things. 
A getaway gives you a chance to escape for relaxation.  Travel costs can stack up though, with airfare, hotel, food, and even tour costs.  Clearly the less strapped you are for cash, the better.  If you’re trying to plan a getaway for two, you might be pleasantly surprised by hidden gems amongst these 50 cities.  If you’re a foodie, you’ll be happy to know that an average meal for two in Kiev, Krakow, or Sofia costs less than $20.

Not all of these places have brand name recognition, like Chania on the island of Crete in Greece, or Marmaris in Turkey.   But you can get a room at Andorra la Vella, Istanbul or Riga for less than $90 per night. These places don’t come with historic landmarks like the Eiffel tower or the London Eye, but especially if you’re traveling from within Europe these destinations are a steal!   

Sometimes you just want to get away with your partner, but there are also like-minded people to find if you’re game to make new friends.

How Negative Customer Reviews Can Cost You Billions

If you have a successful business, you’ll likely have great reviews from customers in person and online. But how is your company’s reputation affected when you receive a bad review?


Did you know that 63 percent of customers are more likely to purchase a product from a website that has a user reviews section? Although no one can guarantee that the reviews are genuine or even accurate, people trust the opinions of other customers.

So if someone has an awful experience with your business, whether it’s your fault or not, they may feel inclined to warn other patrons. And every year, U.S. companies lose $41 billion because of poor customer service.

On the other hand, 1 in 4 people will visit your website if they read positive reviews. Good customer service will pay off, and happy customers are likely to refer others to your company, which generates revenue for you.

If you do make a mistake, you can make things right by offering a customer a refund or even a coupon off their next purchase. Most people believe user reviews are just as important as word-of-mouth recommendations, so don’t just brush off the haters. This infographic tells you even more about why reviews matter, so use it as inspiration to improve your customer satisfaction!

Should You Be Afraid Of Machine Learning?

Have you ever bought something on Amazon from the “Things you’d like” section or have you ever watched a video recommended by YouTube? On both websites, products and videos are recommended to you based on a machine learning algorithm.

Today, many businesses use machine learning to do things like analyze financial risk and find potential customers. But will there come a time when artificial intelligence overtakes human intelligence?

For starters, machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence (AI), though AI is not necessarily machine learning. Machine learning is more specific, encompassing the use of algorithms to allow machines to make increasingly better decisions as they gain more experience and data.

Even though machine learning is still in its early stages, it is still useful for many businesses when it comes to financial analytics, targeted advertising, and social networking. Video game developer Valve has even started using a machine learning algorithm to catch cheaters in their game Counter Strike Global Offensive.

Should we be worried about machine learning? While robots may not take over your lives, they could take your job. It is estimated that 38 percent of jobs could be replaced by AI by 2030, with machines taking over jobs like finance, customer service, and manufacturing.

Though machine learning will inevitably displace some fields, there will be new jobs available thanks to advanced technology.

What You Can Learn From Multi-Billionaire Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett is one of the richest men in the world — a net worth of $84 billion is hard to argue with. He’s an inspiration to business owners, entrepreneurs and people who want to succeed. But how did he become so successful, and what can you learn from it? Buffett, who is regularly heralded as the greatest investor of all time, is still plugging along at 87 years old with a list of accomplishments that began when he was only five. Buffet began his first business operation at that time when he bought and sold Chiclets gum for a profit. At 6, he moved on to packs of Juicy Fruit gum, selling them by the stick and making 2 cents per package. He used the same philosophy with six-packs of Coca-Cola, earning 5 cents for each pack he sold.

When he was 10, he visited the New York Stock Exchange, and he purchased his first stock when he was 11, while also delivering papers, helping out at his grandfather’s store, selling magazines, caddying, and investing in Nebraska farmland. By the time he was 13, he was making $175 a week, which has the buying power of $2,552.76 in today’s economy. When he headed to college, he had $9,800, which is equivalent to $100,400 today.

The tireless work ethic and integrity of Buffett is something to behold, especially in an age where many people desire quick schemes to get rich with ethics tossed aside. “Somebody once said that in looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy,” he says. “And if you don’t have the first, the other two will kill you. You think about it; it’s true. If you hire somebody without integrity, you really want them to be dumb and lazy.”

The Devastating Impact of Gem Mining

It’s increasingly difficult to earn a living in some of the world’s most rural communities, which leads to people taking potentially dangerous jobs. But a rising demand for gems has led to devastating results for the environment and the health of mine workers. Mining has emerged as a substantial socioeconomic sector in numerous developing countries, becoming a significant source of revenue for millions of people in 80 countries worldwide.

The explosive growth of gem mining — artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) in particular — has spawned hundreds of low-tech operations, and many of these companies create unsafe environments for their employees.

Get-rich-quick companies use unskilled workers and rudimentary techniques and tools that degrade farmlands, which reduces food production and pollutes water sources and the fish within them. Dust, fine particles, and large mercury deposits can also reach nearby streams and rivers.

Most ASM activity is occurring in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Oceania, and Central and South America. The largely unregulated network of mines account for 80% of the world’s sapphires, 20% of the diamond supply, and 20% of the gold supply. They employ more than 100 million miners.

While millions of people depend on the mines for their livelihood, the operations are creating a toxic environment that can only be relieved by placing oversight on small mines and encouraging ethical practices and adequate regulation.

The Cute But Controversial Cat Breed That’s Gaining Popularity

I thought I was a dog person until I saw a munchkin cat in real life — they’re cute beyond belief. What is a munchkin cat, and why are they controversial?
Also called “sausage cats” due to their hot dog-like appearance, these cuties were discovered in the early twentieth century and only recognized as an official breed in 2003. This was after a long time of discussion and controversy. The International Cat Association was reluctant at first: one of the judges even resigned, calling the new breed (and its breeders) an affront to any breeder with ethics because the cats are intentionally bred with genetic mutations.

Some people still stand by the opinion that Munchkins shouldn’t be bred. Munchkin lovers state that in contrast to their dog counterparts, the breed doesn’t suffer from chronic illness associated with their short legs. Unlike breeds like the Dachshund that are known for their back problems, Munchkins are as healthy as more conventional cat breeds.

Even so, the American Cat Fanciers Association and other European groups don’t consider the Munchkin a recognized breed. Studies show that Munchkins do showcase some diseases like lordosis and pectus excavatum (a condition when the breastbone sinks into the chest of the cat), but as other cat breeds also suffer from these, experts are still on the fence about whether or not these conditions are breeding-related or are just a normal occurrence like with other cats.

Even so, Munchkins are thought to be a generally healthy breed, and they usually live between 12 and 15 years. If you want a lifetime of fun with your furry friend, consider a Munchkin!

A Handy Guide To Europe’s Confusing Driving Laws

One of the downsides of living in the U.S. is how long it takes for us to get to other countries. Taking a drive to Canada is easy from New York — from Miami, not so much. In Europe, it’s possible to drive across much of the continent, which is why we’re taking a look at driving laws across Europe.

Remember, laws are always changing, so make sure you stay knowledgeable about the current laws before you travel. But according to this infographic, some European countries have fascinating road rules. In Finland, the speed limit drops by 20 kilometers between the months of October and March. This is due to how icy roads can get during those months, but it could also cause an unsuspecting tourist to get a ticket!

It’s against the law to drink and drive pretty much everywhere, but this law is enforced more strictly in some countries. In Poland, the blood alcohol concentration limit is .02. For reference, the limit in the United States is .08, so make sure you avoid alcohol on the road in Poland — even having one drink could get you in trouble.

This infographic also says that drivers in Cyprus aren’t able to drink anything while driving, even if its water. Given the prevalence of distracted driving, the rule makes sense, but it could also get you in trouble. Now that you know how to properly drive through Europe, it’s time to plan your next vacation!

Everything You Need To Know About The Influencer Marketing Industry

In recent years, paying internet influencers has become an invaluable tool for marketers. As the number of influencers increases, companies are placing more emphasis on influencer marketing. If your favorite Instagrammer promoted a product, wouldn’t you trust it? Today’s infographic goes further in depth on the influencer marketing revolution.

Influencer marketing brings a variety of benefits. Brands receive authentic reviews and engagement, and influencers have the trust of their audience, which drives conversions. Influencers can also link to websites, reviews and social media accounts without it seeming like an advertisement.

If you’re an influencer, you have the potential to earn plenty of money. Even if you have a small audience, you may have the ability to charge up to $1,000 just for one post on Snapchat or Instagram. Some of the most popular with millions of followers charge upwards of $30,000 for a single post. The numbers are high, but with the amount of work they’ve put in to earn their following, it makes sense.

It’s going to take work to gain a fair follower count, but the least you can do is try. Post often, reach out to other creators, and just have fun. If you’re a company who needs more exposure, don’t be afraid to reach out to influencers. Using influencer marketing gives you a high chance of gaining exposure. If you need a starting point, here are 12 steps you can follow to succeed.

Mapped: The Richest People In History

Do you ever stumble upon information about the world’s wealthiest people and wonder how they become super successful?


Nowadays, it’s well-known that most of the world’s billionaires obtained their staggering amount of money by investing or inventing. Others, like the Koch Brothers, inherited large sums and managed to increase their wealth through proper management.

On the other hand, you’re probably not as familiar with how people have historically become rich. Read on and find out in today’s infographic.

Can you imagine a person living in a time before Jesus Christ and having a personal net worth equal to the Roman Treasury? Marcus Licinius Crassus, who is thought to be the richest man in Roman history,  a man that earned his wealth in a pretty shady way.
He rose to riches by purchasing properties below market value. His wealth was approximately around $170 billion, which doesn’t seem like much when compared to the wealth of Augustus Caesar ($4.6 trillion).

What’s even more impressive: Augustus Caesar was Egypt’s emperor, which made up around 30% of global GDP at that time. Check out the below infographic and find out more about Crassus, Augustus Caesar, and other successful people you probably don’t know much about. Once you’re done, you might as well check whether trading can make you a rich man nowadays.

Learn More About The Men & Women Who’ve Gone To Space

Space: the final frontier. From the great space race between the USSR and the United States to Elon Musk’s SpaceX program, we have always been fascinated with what lies beyond our atmosphere.

Since the first spaceflight in 1961, we’ve put 556 people in space. In today’s infographic, we will explore the flights of these 556 space explorers as well as some notable achievements in the history of space travel. USSR’s Yuri Gagarin was the first man sent into space in 1961. Two years later in 1963, Valentina Tereshkova, also from the USSR, was the first woman to go into space.

Though the USSR beat the United States to space, it would be an American who first stepped foot on the moon. On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first person to ever walk on the moon. “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Armstrong is one of 12 people who has walked the moon.

Nowadays, we spend less time on the moon and more time in our own orbit, constructing the International Space Station and devising space vacations. Dennis Tito became the first person to ever become a space tourist in 2001, funding his own trip into space, and the first piece of the International Space Station was sent into space in 1998.

In a galaxy far far away, space travel is much more technologically advanced, and interplanetary travel is a piece of cake.

Your Business’s Financial Statements 101

For freelancers, entrepreneurs and small business owners, financial statements can be bothersome and even daunting, but it’s one of those things we just *have* to do.
When you’re trying to figure out your freelance rate or the appropriate fees to charge,  you probably should know how much your business is actually making and whether it’s profitable. Today’s infographic is a visual guide to the financial side of the business, so you can be more knowledgeable when your accountant comes asking for numbers.

Financial statements basically show where a business’s money comes from (income), where it goes (expenses) and where it is now (cash flow). These three features are shown through a balance sheet, an income statement and a cash flow statement.

One key purpose of financial statements is to give a clear outline of your income and expenses so your taxes can be calculated with your actual income.  The federal government and your local tax authority need to take a cut, so make sure your numbers are well accounted for.  It’s also advisable to keep relevant receipts for a few years.

Some people’s eyes glaze over when trying to look at financial statements, but once you understand them better, they’ll become a little less tedious. You’ll be a paperwork pro in no time.

What 1,500 Calories Looks Like at 25 Fast Food Chains

A fast food drive-thru is convenient and cheap, and the taste isn’t so bad, either. But is there any nutritious value is in that burger you’re chowing down or is it all empty calories? Today’s infographic examines fast food restaurants and what 1,500 calories looks like across the board. While you’re probably expecting every meal to be bad for you, that isn’t the case. You can actually eat food that’s well under 1,500 calories at most fast food chains if you know what to look for.

McDonald’s is the most popular fast food chain in the world. Although the restaurant is well-known, it also has some of the highest calorie counts on the infographic. If you order a Big Mac, large fry, and an Oreo McFlurry, that’s 1,560 calories. Compare this food to the menu at Panda Express. At the fast-casual chain, you can get a serving of Kung Pao chicken, chow mein, a chicken potsticker, cream cheese wontons, a veggie spring roll, a fortune cookie, and Gatorade all for a whopping 1,490 calories. That’ll definitely keep you full for a while.

Everything should be done in moderation, including moderation, but if you’re counting calories, you should keep this information in mind. Consult this infographic before you splurge on your favorite food.

Unproductive Meetings Cost U.S. Companies $9 Billion Annually

If you look at your calendar and dread the number of meetings you have, you aren’t alone. We’ve all been stuck in stuffy conference rooms, but meetings are often viewed as a necessary evil. Could meetings actually be costing you money?
The folks at STL, a UK training firm, analyzed the latest data to find out what really goes into business meetings and how much it could be costing your company.

Built upon the idea that face-to-face communication is more efficient, meetings are the bane of most people’s existence. Moreso, studies show that we have grown so bored of meetings that we don’t even pay attention anymore, making them ineffective and a waste of employee time. Only 9% of people say they pay attention in every work-related meeting, and most employees say meetings cause them to get less work done.

What can we do instead? We don’t need to ban in-person meetings, although some companies rely solely on email and chat. Instead, the meeting organizer should have a plan and follow the agenda. After the meeting, send a brief summary so everyone is on the same page. Don’t waste anyone’s time by hosting a meeting with no itinerary, and try not to exceed your allotted time slot.

Meetings don’t have to be unproductive, which is why it’s important to get creative. Soon, your team will be looking forward to your next powwow!

21 Home Styles From Around the World

As boring as it may seem, I love watching home makeover shows. It’s fascinating to see before-and-afters, but I also enjoy seeing the existing design of a home. I sometimes wonder how architects and interior designers come up with home styles. Today, we’re going to look at 21 house styles from around the world thanks to research from the team at RubberBond.

One of the most unique styles on this list is the Geodesic home from Norway. This home is a dome shape, which definitely means you’ll stand out. Geodesic homes weren’t sustainable until 2001, and it took a significant amount of research to perfect the style.

A house style you might see around older neighborhoods is the “Sears Catalogue” home. The name speaks for itself: Sears and other home stores sold “kit homes” in the 20th century to make it easier for homebuyers.

Nontraditional homes make the list as well. You may not think of an igloo as a type of house, but it’s used for shelter in Antartica. Peruse the graphic to figure out which style is your favorite. Home styles are also becoming more environmentally conscious as time goes on, so this infographic would likely look very different in 50 years. If you’re starting to consider buying a home, find out how far $500,000 will get you in different regions of the U.S.

Easy Ways To Support Your Local Animal Shelter

Millions of animals are taken in by animal shelters every year, and the facilities are in constant need of support. They need food, of course, but your local shelter could also use volunteers, donations, toys and blankets. Are you unsure how to help or where to start? Here’s how you can contribute.

Nearly eight million animals are put up for adoption in the United States every year. The animals are housed in one of the 13,000 shelters across the nation. The issue is that shelters need about $2.5 billion a year, or roughly $190,000 per facility. Unlike some organizations that may ask for money without a real need, animal shelters are often struggling.

Why do people put their pets up for adoption? Some of the common reasons for giving a dog or cat up include behavioral issues, not having enough time to take care of the animal, and moving somewhere that doesn’t allow pets. If you’re considering becoming a pet owner, make sure you’ll have the ability to care for your furry friend. Otherwise, they could end up in a shelter.

I’ve volunteered at animal shelters before and haven’t regretted it a single time. If you have the opportunity, please go to your local shelter and give your time. If you’re an animal lover, I think you’d love to know 20 facts about pet owners.

The Surprising Ways That Brits Shop and Pay

A survey of 1,500 Brits asking about their shopping and paying habits has revealed some surprising information about how Brits spend their money. Believe it or not, millennials are most conscientious.


Consumers between 16 and 29 years old deliberate more about what to buy, and 75 percent feel guilty after buying something. On the other hand, only 50 percent of people between 45 and 49 years old feel guilty about shopping. This age group is also more likely to respond to personalized offers.

Your phone is probably influencing you more thank you think. Social media advertising influenced the purchases of one-third of consumers, and women were more likely to be swayed. So to all you Facebook and Instagram advertisers out there, making it easy to pay with just a few clicks after they see your ad could pay off!

When it comes to paying, having multiple payment options is important to most consumers, and payments should process as quickly as possible — 57 percent said they would abandon a purchase if it took too long to pay.

Only 13 percent of British consumers have used Apple Pay, while 88 percent regularly use debit and credit cards. Surprisingly, the oldest age group of people over 60 years old spent little time debating a purchase and showed the most delight once their purchase was made.

How To Use Chopsticks Without Embarrassing Yourself

Though chopsticks are some of the simplest utensils known to man, there are still many rules that dictate proper etiquette. Today’s infographic shows you the chopstick no-no’s so you can eat the proper way the next time you’re at a sushi restaurant.


I’ve used chopsticks at home my whole life, and I’m still guilty of some of the blunders found on this infographic. I should note that my family is Chinese and we’re discussing Japanese chopstick etiquette, but many of these rules seem like common courtesy anyway.

One faux pas I am especially guilty of is rummaging through food with my chopsticks. Though etiquette says you shouldn’t dig for food you like, I almost always pick around my plate.

Another thing to avoid is resting your chopsticks on your bowl or leaving them upright. Resting chopsticks signals that you are done eating, while chopsticks are left up in a dish if it’s being served to someone who is close to death. Even though you may be full, make sure you don’t leave your chopsticks upright – and only rest them when you’re sure you won’t eat anything else.

After reading this infographic and learning more about chopstick manners, you can be confident in using chopsticks wherever you go.

The Best Shoes For Hiking, Weightlifting, Cycling, & More

Even if your fitness plan includes a healthy dose of both cardio and strength training, you may be neglecting the most important part of the equation: your feet.


Most of us really don’t think about our feet very much. Come on, I can’t be the only one that only looks at them once in a while in the shower, just to make sure they’re covered in soapy water. Ahem.

But even though they don’t get a lot of love, your feet could make or break your fitness journey. Experts say that the number of nerve endings in our feet could an be the physical foundation for overall well-being, and things as little as muscle strains can lead to long-lasting consequences.

That’s why it’s key to invest in the right support for your feet for every step of your journey. It seems obvious that shoes dedicated to running aren’t built for 3-day hikes, or that flip-flops aren’t made for lifting weights, but all too often we just buy a pair of sneakers and think we’re set for all our fitness needs.

Using the same pair of shoes for everything makes it easy for fungi and odors to thrive in your socks (ugh!), and it can lead to injuries and even hinder your performance in the gym.

The Influence Of Instagram: What Every Marketer Needs To Know

Advertising is no longer just paying for a billboard — the majority of consumers turn to the Internet to find new products. Are you ready to make the leap?
An overwhelming majority of people have at least one active social media account, and as marketers, we need to meet our audience where they’re at. Even though Facebook and Twitter remain two of the most active platforms, Instagram is shaping up to be the most important platform for marketers.

From 2014 to 2017, Instagram reported growth of around 350 percent, which is a lot more than Facebook and YouTube. It isn’t only Instagram’s growth that’s attracting attention: The platform can influence how shoppers behave. More than 70% of Instagram users report making a purchase based on something they saw on the site.

Before you pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to get your product advertised by an Instagram celebrity, take a look at the power of micro-influencers who boast engagement rates of 4 and 8 percent — more than double than celebrities with a measly 2%. Rather than focusing on Facebook or a more traditional social network, focus on Instagrammers with modest followings for your next social media campaign. You may be surprised by the ROI you see.

How To Make Each Day As Productive As Possible

If you’re anything like me, you’re productive at the last minute before something’s due. Trying to get any work done before that is like trying to run a 5k through wet cement.


Today’s infographic explores how to become more productive. To have a good day, you need to have a good morning. Wake up early to give yourself more time to get ready, and eat a healthy breakfast to keep your body at peak performance. You can use the extra time to make a productivity playlist if you like listening to music while you work.

The next thing you should do is make a to-do list that focuses on goals and important tasks. Next, set timers for tasks so you don’t spend the whole day wrapped up in one task — and so you can set time aside for scheduled breaks.

Once you have your list, it’s time to zone in and focus wholeheartedly on your work. One of the biggest distractions I have is my cell phone because I almost always find myself browsing when I’m supposed to be doing something else. I’m sure many of you have this same problem, but fear not — this infographic has a solution.

Leave your phone away from your desk so you can’t even think about when working. At first, this will be difficult, but you will eventually get used to it.

How To Stay Healthy & Comfortable On Long Flights

I’ll be honest, I hate when I have to fly somewhere. I get butterflies in my stomach and just feel uncomfortable. It’s even worse if I have to take a long trip, but it doesn’t have to be nerve-racking. Let’s look at some fantastic tips and tricks that teach you how to make your in-flight experience more comfortable.

Before your flight, remember to dress for your time on the plane. While it’s natural to want to look good, a few breathable layers are your best bet. You don’t want to feel miserably hot or cold on your trip. When I’m on a flight, I usually get cramps in my legs and blame it on the limited legroom. Thankfully, this infographic shares exercises you can do to make sure your legs don’t become numb. Twirling your feet is one way to make sure blood is flowing and increase your comfort.

Even if you’re dealing with jetlag, you may be tempted to drink endless cups of coffee, but it can lead to dehydration. Instead, drink a lot of water. I hope you can use this infographic to become more comfortable when you fly.

Learn How Famous Books Got Their Titles

Does anyone else remember those required reading lists from middle and high school? I vividly remember reading books like Pride and Prejudice and Fahrenheit 451. The biggest question I had when looking at the covers was how they got their titles and what they were about. Today’s infographic gives you the origins of your favorite book titles and some of them are pretty surprising.

The title that I was most curious about was Fahrenheit 451. It becomes obvious after you read the book, and the origin is simple. In the book, reading was illegal, so any book that authorities found had to be burned. The books burn at 451 degrees Fahrenheit, so the title Fahrenheit 451 was born!

Peter Pan is an older story written by J.M Barrie in 1911. Barrie centered the storyline around five boys, and one of the boys was named Peter. Barrie coined Pan from the name of the Greek God of Wind, leading to the name Peter Pan.

I don’t want to spoil the rest of the title’s origins for you, so I’ll let you read the rest and learn more about how classics originate. Hopefully, you’ll gain some insight on your favorite book title. Wonder where reading will go in the future?

This Dog Has An Inheritance Worth $412 Million

It’s normal to be jealous of famous people and rich tycoons, but there are animals in the world who have more money than most of us.
Why does an animal need a budget? Good question. But for some celebrities, they’d rather spend their money on their pets than other people, which is their prerogative.

The richest pet in the world hails from Germany. How fitting that a German Shepherd takes the title. Countess Karlotta Liebenstein’s Gunther IV has an inheritance of 307 million pounds. That’s the equivalent of $412 million! Don’t you wish you were a royal pup?

Do you have $3.1 million handy? You could buy the world’s most expensive dog collar! It’s a full diamond collar with a combined total of 52-carats. Even those of us who love our pets more than anything may wonder why they need diamonds.

Yes, some animals might have more money than us, but it’s because their owners love them as much as they love humans. You don’t need to spend millions on your pet to let them know they’re loved. Animals are easy to please, and having a pet around actually increases your happiness. Show some love to Fido, even if you can’t give him millions of dollars.

What We’re Obsessed With On Our Phones

For many of us, our smartphones provide a pretty good snapshot of our lives. It has personal contacts, important account information, and perhaps even sensitive content stored on it. They’re also constantly in our hands, having become major or minor addictions for many.  On computers it’s common to have security programs like firewalls that help protect online information, but security precautions are less common on our phones.Should we be more worried about mobile security? Today’s infographic shows results from a survey asking respondents how concerned they are with mobile phone safety and how much they care about convenience when it comes to mobile purchases.

Do you have a pass code on your lock screen? If you do, you are with the majority of people. 90% of respondents said they have a pass code, while only 10% said they don’t, so it seems like most people at least want to protect their phones from anyone who would try to break in via physical means.

Does anyone care about phone hacking through the internet? Data breaches have gotten bigger and spread to larger companies in the last decade.  But the consensus seems to be no, at least when it comes to online purchasing. Maybe it is because people trust most online retailers not to steal information, but nonetheless, 66% of respondents said they don’t think of internet security before purchasing online.

Despite the relaxed attitude towards mobile phone security, there is a substantial amount of information at stake. Most people use either credit card or PayPal to pay for online purchases, accounts which could be liable for more than we’d like to risk.

What do you think about mobile security? Would you rather have easy one-tap purchases at the cost of security, or would you have to jump through more hoops when buying things to make sure your information is protected?

Is Your Social Media Strategy Profitable?

Being active in social media is a no-brainer for most businesses nowadays. But are you really doing it right?

The first step towards a successful social media campaign is a market study. Your company should know not only what your competitors are doing these days, but also what social media platforms their audience is using.

Pinterest can be great for promoting interesting visual campaigns, and lousy for video. Facebook can be a great basic tool, but Twitter’s inherent speed might be better for your brand… if your target audience isn’t on the same platform, regardless of your campaign’s quality, they won’t find you!

The next big thing is having a detailed plan: this should include your goals (both financial and social) in clear numbers. Whether is clicks per ad, newsletter signups or hashtag uses, be clear on what you want to have in the end so you tailor the campaign for success.

This plan should also include how you will measure the campaign’s metrics in order to make projections and improvements. Maybe the first time or two isn’t a huge hit, but social media is all about trial and error, and we can learn so much from every setback! Check out today’s infographic for a quick and easy guide to measuring your social media success in a pinch.

This is Where Augmented Reality Is Headed

If you think augmented reality is something reserved for Pokemon Go and the like, you might be in for a surprise. Most consumers are exposed to AR every day!

Snapchat and Instagram actually integrate augmented reality into their software, without specifically calling it that way. Those pretty filters you use to spam friends and family? Yep, Augmented reality in all its glory.

Most people started recognizing the possibilities of AR with the huge success of PokemonGo, which had millions of people running around the world trying to catch ‘em all, but the truth is companies and businesses have used AR to their advantage for years.

In fact, augmented reality is here to stay: from Ikea’s new software that allows you to actually picture the furniture inside your home, to smart glasses fit for a spy, in a couple of decades there will be no going back.

Nevertheless, to be truly integrated into our life, augmented reality needs to overcome some hefty obstacles.

For one, improving the ergonomics of it all. Wearable AR technology involves using bulky equipment and having access to an internet connection, that won’t go away even as you move. This means that for everyday life, it isn’t a very reliable technology, much less for people living outside heavily industrialized countries.  All the same, the expansion of this technology comes with tremendous potential.

How To Find These Annoying Pests In Your House

When I was younger, I remember my family drawing detailed plans of the house and planning routes of escape if there was ever a fire. We also talked about safe places to hide in my house if there was ever a tornado. The threat of tornado or fire damage to a house seems clear, but I never knew how damaging termites could be. Though not as life threatening as fires or tornadoes, termites can still end up costing a fortune in structural damage; they cost Americans an average of 5 billion annually. To help avoid the headache of a termite infestation, here are five signs that may help you catch an infestation before it’s too late.

Though most termites look like fat white ants, some have wings and scout out places to settle in during the spring. If you see these winged termites, you will want to prepare for the possibility that the rest of the termite colony will follow shortly. If you see the discarded wings and not the winged termites, it’s very likely the termites have already settled down in your house.

Another major sign of a termite infestation is rotting or hollow wood. Termites like to eat wood from the inside out, so knock on wood in your house to hear if it’s hollow. Another telltale sign is frass, the droppings termite produce. They look like wood colored pellets, so keep an eye out.

Finally, look for mud tubes near the foundation of your house. Though they are the hardest sign to detect, they are the most vital sign to catch because mud tubes are created by subterranean termites, the most harmful species of termites. They tunnel through soil as they go from one food source to another.

These Are the Plants You Don’t Worry About Killing (As Much)

Adding plants to a household can do wonders.  Suddenly a room transforms into a green living space. The only problem is, now you have to take care of those plants.   If plants are outdoors, you can let nature take care of most of the day to day maintenance.  Gardening has become a fairly common hobby, because seeing life grow from the fruits of your labor is pretty rewarding.   Indoors, even though you’re probably close enough enough to touch these plants day to day, the plants become so familiar they start to fly under the radar.  Then you stop watering and all of a sudden you have a wilted plant.

Succulents actually store water, which you can spot in their thick fleshy leaves.  Cactus are well known succulents, for example.   They make great indoor plants because they’re a bit less maintenance.   You still need to learn how and when to properly water your indoor succulents, though they don’t need to be watered as often as other indoor plants.

The trick is soaking the roots in water, then drying them out quickly. In connoisseur circles, this is called “the soak and dry method”. The key is tricking your plants so they prepare for a drought, then you soak them, then let them dry again. You should keep an eye on the soil, and if it’s moist, put off watering for another day or two.

In general, colorful succulents in red, orange and purple hues need more light than naturally green ones. So unless your idea of “indoors” is a sunny balcony, start easy with green succulents.  And hopefully they will last!

9 Life Lessons from Remarkable Human and Animal Relationships

Animals offer meaningful life lessons and companionship. The question is, what did these famous people, including Siegfried and Roy, learn from their companions? Through important relationships, like Koko the Gorilla and Francine Patterson or Ivan Pavlov and his dog, we know that it’s possible to gain the trust of animals.

By far the most significant insight came from Ivan Pavlov who studied his dog’s responses to a bell. This research founded the basis of “classical conditioning.” Advertisers use this concept to develop effective marketing campaigns, and Pavlov’s studies continue to stay relevant in today’s tech-focused world.

Siegfried and Roy developed the trust of big cats by sleeping with the animals for the first year of life. Patterson had a 30-year relationship with Koko the Gorilla which gave us a wealth of information.

Through studying animals, we find many lessons to apply to everyday life. Animals help humans develop empathy, practice mindfulness, and form special bonds. Not only that, but we are reminded that it’s healthy to have social connections.  Some pets may even help you make friends with other pet owners, say at the dog park.

If you own an animal or consider yourself an animal lover, then I’m sure you relate. Animals are intelligent creatures that sense the love and compassion from their companions, which makes their relationship a beautiful thing.

Suicide: Alarming Facts And Figures

The tragedy of suicide occurs on a daily basis at the rate of one death every 40 seconds, but it often doesn’t hit the news until high-profile celebrities become a part of the fray. Celebrity deaths over the last few years have pierced an illusion that they have it all.  The passing of celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain and fashion designer Kate Spade sparked increased awareness because they were household names.   In the US suicide rates have increased by 25% since 1999.   With these tragedies comes a closer look at the public health crisis that takes more than 800,000 lives each year.

There are more suicides annually than deaths from homicide and war combined, though murder and combat make the headlines. Moreover, suicide is the second leading cause of death among young people aged 15-29 after traffic accidents, and studies show that suicide rates have increased steadily across nearly all demographics over the past two decades.

Mental illness is not preventable, but treatment does help to reduce deep depression and anxiety that lead to suicide, along with community support and understanding, and ongoing care.

If you are suffering or know someone who has shown suicidal tendencies, call for help. For immediate care, call 911 and get professional assistance, or to talk to a trained counselor at the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (800-273-8255)

For those who don’t need immediate medical assistance, sometimes it’s helpful just to have someone to talk to.  Licensed therapists are even available online for on demand video or chat counseling.  Talk it out if you need to.

How to Determine Your Learning Style

Find out what learning style serves you and use it to your advantage to learn new skills efficiently.  Your learning style is your approach to learning based on your preferences, as well as strengths and weaknesses. Establish your style by following this flowchart, then develop better ways to absorb information.

Reading/writing learners prefer to read and write rather than listen. They enjoy reading books and can follow written directions with ease.
Visual learners prefer maps and diagrams instead of verbal directions.
Auditory learners prefer verbal directions and enjoy working in groups and discussing information. They remember by listening, find it difficult to work quietly, and often read with whispering lip movements.
Kinetic learners learn best when taking a hands-on approach and benefit from fieldwork and demonstrations. Furthermore, they need to move, tap or swing a leg to stay focused.
Finally, there are people without a specific style that suits them best, and they are called multimodal learners.
Next time you have a task in front of you that requires a lot of learning in a limited amount of time, find the proper types of resources to help you reach your goals faster. You may not fit perfectly into one category, so mix and match, and discover what works best for you, and learn quicker, not harder.

Become A Master At Networking

The benefits of networking extend beyond finding new employment opportunities and growing your career. Stronger relationships can improve all facets of life as your network expands.

A network of colleagues and friends provides advice and support, fosters creativity through fresh ideas, offers varying perspectives, builds self-confidence, and raises your profile. In fact, studies show that people with large networks are generally healthier and happier.

However, networking involves much more than handshakes and exchanging information. Some think of it as a process of selling yourself, which seems daunting for many people.

First, use available technology to clean up your social media outlets by separating social and business accounts from one another. Then, update your accounts regularly with fresh content that is professional and interesting.

While social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter each have their own strengths, creating a LinkedIn profile is imperative for business networking, as 70 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs use the platform exclusively.

While you might make initial connections through online services, face-to-face meetings are still the most important way to engage folks in your network and make long-lasting impressions. Step away from your computer, and step outside of your office to meet people personally through community service clubs and professional associations.

Networking is how business and contracts develop, projects are funded and finished, and how artists and professionals become famous. Master the art of networking by connecting strategically.

9 Ways to Kick your Sugar Addiction For Good

Kicking the sugar habit is no easy feat. Follow these easy steps to end your sugar addiction once and for all. Sugary foods contribute to several health issues, including heart disease and concerns with weight. From early morning meals to your late night snacking, change your sweet habits and avoid long-term health problems.

Start by dumping your usual breakfast choices, like pre-sweetened yogurts and sugary cereals. Many of these breakfast choices go over your daily sugar allowance with one meal. Another classic favorite is orange juice. One small glass contains more sugar than a female should have in an entire day.

When snack time rolls around, switch up the sugary jam on your toast for vitamin-packed peanut butter or almond butter and choose water over sweet tea.

You don’t have to give up your after work beverage, but control your sugar intake by alternating water with your alcoholic drink.

Most importantly, track what you’re eating and drinking to find the hidden sugars. Our body reacts to sugar in ways similar to other addictive substances. Being aware helps us make the changes we need.

Sugar will not get the best of you if you follow the tricks in today’s infographic. If you allow these techniques to be part of your everyday routine, you’ll be saying hello to a healthier life in no time!

How to Tell if your Kid Needs Glasses

Poor eyesight is more common than you’d expect. Learn the facts to determine if your kid needs glasses early on in childhood. One out of five preschoolers has a vision problem. However, identifying an issue with sight, especially in young children, is difficult.

Most children don’t tell their parents about vision problems because they don’t realize that it’s wrong. They think that blurred vision is normal. If you notice your child squinting, turning their head, or closing one eye while looking at something, then you should take them to see an optometrist.

Getting your child to wear glasses isn’t always easy, but don’t worry. There are some ways you can help them become comfortable with their eyewear. Let them pick out their frames. It will give them a sense of individuality. You can also tell them about celebrities who wear glasses. If they see one of their role models wearing glasses, then they’ll think it’s ok.

Glasses can make a significant difference in your child’s life. If you see a sign of poor vision, don’t hesitate to take action. Get your child the glasses they need.

32 Bizarre Creatures Hidden Deep in the Sea World

Do you know how many creatures swim in the deep sea beneath your boat? There’s a good chance that you’ll be happy these critters live far away in the sea world. The deep sea hides so many creatures that it’s hard to keep track of all of them. The thing is that typical divers can only go 130 feet under the sea safely. However, as you see in the infographic, 1000s of feet below the surface are where the strangest of sea creatures survive.

Have you heard that Pacific hagfish tie their tails into a knot to increase bite force while eating prey? Or that, at around 3280 feet under the sea, tunicates live and can reproduce without a partner?

As you go further into the deep sea, it seems that things become stranger. For instance, the goblin shark can catapult forward to catch pray thanks to its elastic jaw ligaments. However, the giant isopod can survive years without food.

The characteristics and behavior of these exquisite sea creatures are still being researched, and we’re likely to have more interesting facts in the upcoming years.

The most bizarre creatures hide far below in the deep sea. Check out this fascinating infographic to find new species and facts about sea life.

The Ultimate Copywriting Cheat Sheet For Social Media

With the dawn of the internet, digital marketing has become a race to dominant several social platforms. With the rise of different mediums, sharing an identical message on every network just won’t cut it.

Today’s infographic is about nailing the right length, tone, and text for every digital channel while ensuring that your campaign reaches a significant audience.

From email promo to newsletters, blogs to social networking, like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, each social media platform has different requirements. Why? The answer is simple: different people are using them.

Instagram users need amazing visuals. Ramp up marketing by promoting stunning pictures and videos, while keeping the copy short and sweet. On the other hand, blog posts need to be lengthier: over 1000 words. Use your content to tell a story, show your personality, provide value and engage readers.

Research hashtags before use. Certain social media platforms require hashtags for social reach, while you may risk appearing as though you’ve forgotten which platform you are on by adding hashtags on others.  Tread carefully and know your audience.

In the end, the key is adapting your content and your brand to the platforms you’ll be using. If you’re targeting other businesses,  LinkedIn is a powerful option. For consumers Snapchat may be right up your alley. Reach the right target audience through email marketing and blogging.

Search engine optimization is a must, regardless of the platform you’re using. If people can’t find you, then there’s no way your campaigns will stick out in memory! Make sure you hit the right keywords, and it will be that much easier for others to discover you in a sea of online content.

How To Rock The Wok (Plus Recipes)

A wok is a fantastic way to expand your dinner horizons. Start cooking tonight with one of these six beginner recipes and easy instructions to break in your wok. With a wok, you can make stir-fry vegetable and noodle dishes that are tasty and healthy. Choose the right pan, oil, and ingredients and get started.

When looking for a wok, there are three things to keep in mind: size, shape, and material. A flat-bottomed, 14-inch, carbon steel pan works best. This large size provides room for a variety of ingredients and maximizes the surface area of the burner. The carbon steel material conducts heat and is naturally non-sticking.

Breaking in your wok is crucial as it ensures food items don’t stick.  Start by scrubbing the surface of your wok with steel wool, soap, and hot water. Dry your wok off, then preheat it on your burner. Saute simple ingredients, like oil, scallions, and ginger for 15 minutes. Lastly, take it off the stove, rinse with hot water and a sponge, then dry it off. These initial steps bring your wok to life.

Get the best flavor and tenderness from your stir-fried meals by using a few tricks. For example, if your recipe calls for meat, thinly slice the cut across the grain to achieve ideal tenderness. Chop your ingredients into roughly the same sizes for even cooking. Don’t forget to use peanut or canola oil for perfect stir-frys.

Cooking with a wok is fun and healthy. Try out these six recipes for beginners and find out which one is your favorite.

This Is What Your Pet Thinks About

Have you ever wondered what your pet would say if it could talk? A talking pet makes life easier. Or does it?


Have you ever stepped on your dog’s tail and regretted it for the next 24 hours? It would be great if your pet could say something like – “no, man. It’s cool. It could have happened to anyone.”

Talking pets could help us solve the enduring mystery of why cats think they rule the universe. Do cats think they’re superior creatures or want to leave domesticated life for the wild?

What if your parrot could give his opinion on a topic, and not just repeat yours. Maybe your pet has seen something you would have wanted to know, but the bird couldn’t tell you because it was too busy repeating your uttered sentences.

Imagine you have the power of Dr. Dolittle and you can talk to animals. How great would that be? Or would it? What if you’ve mistreated your pet and now he wants to get back to you by saying mean things to you?

15 Forbidden Foods From Around The World (That You Probably Eat)

Who would ban salt or ketchup? Around the world and even in space, certain foods are banned for all sorts of reasons, including a few that are probably in your kitchen pantry right now.


In the United States, a strong notion of individual choice means that we expect to get pretty much anything we want, especially when it comes to food. But in other countries, culture and politics means that certain foods are not available

Ketchup in France is served in schools only occasionally so that students don’t lose sight of traditional French cuisine. Salt and pepper may seem like something astronauts would not want to give up, but the truth is they can’t use it because the tasty grains would float away rather than stick to their food.

Norway, Austria and the countries of the European Union ban ingredients they deem harmful, such as chlorine used to wash chicken and certain food preservatives. More than half of Europe does not allow the use of genetically modified soybeans.

Speaking of Singapore, don’t even try to chew gum in that country! In an effort to keep the streets clean, Singapore banned chewing gum and violators can be fined $1,000 and face up to two years in prison. Check out this list for the reasons behind the top 15 banned foods.

The Impact Running Has On Your Body

Ever wondered if the phrase “runner’s high” was a real thing? Science proves running changes your body. The most significant impact running has on the body is the physical gain. For example, running strengthens your heart. When you run, oxygen pumps through the heart faster and more efficiently than before. Running increases endurance levels and energy. Plus it boosts your metabolism, so you keep burning calories even when you’re standing still. Running can result in weight loss and stronger legs.

Mental health improves with running as well. We know that active people tend to be more optimistic. This positive attitude helps runners better handle stress. Research shows that runners also have a sharper mind to stave off dementia and even get better sleep!

Running can take a physical toll at times. You can get aching knees if you run too much. The kneecap becomes irritated leading to sharp pains. Others face issues with their toes. However, the benefits outweigh the risks.

Running is a great way to age gracefully. Running changes the body and you’ll notice improvements in no time.

How to Find The Right Business Partner

If you’re considering a business partner for your company, then it’s essential to find the person that balances out your personality. Just because you have a like-minded friend in the industry doesn’t mean you’ll make excellent partners. Instead, you need to consider your strengths and find a business partner that fills in the blanks.

Start by determining which of the 8 personalities fit you. For example, if you struggle with making decisions, then finding a decision-maker will benefit your business the most. Whereas, if risk scares you, then a risk taker personality balances you out and provides the road to profitable growth.

Once you’ve decided which type of person makes the best partner, then look at your prospects. Cross off anyone that you haven’t known for at least a year. Then double check to ensure that your core values are comparable to each other. While you can differ on opinions, you want to have similar ideals.

Determining your perfect business partner takes time, but once you get to the end, then it’s as simple as writing up the contract. Strike a balance by partnering with a fellow entrepreneur that complements your personality.

Best Tips For Storing 40 Types Of Fresh Produce

Fresh fruits and vegetables are excellent for health. Unfortunately, fresh produce doesn’t last as long as processed foods. Find out how to store your fresh items for long-lasting deliciousness. Storing fruits and vegetables isn’t rocket science. Instead, it’s a matter of knowing where and how to save produce, along with knowing how long it’ll keep.

When it comes to storing your apples, you should keep them unwrapped in the refrigerator. Apples will last for 3 weeks before going bad.  Same goes for oranges. Keep them in an open container in the fridge, and you’ll keep them for 2 weeks. Berries are a little more difficult. Berries only last 3-5 days uncovered or vented in the refrigerator.

Storage for vegetables varies just as widely as it does for fruits. With cucumbers, you should keep them in plastic wrap. As for radishes, you should keep them in their bag with a dry paper towel. They’ll stay good for 2 weeks with this method.

If you had trouble getting the most out of your produce before, not to worry. Proper storage methods give you plenty of time to eat up your favorites.

How To Create A Happy And Healthy Office Environment

Most people spend about eight hours every day at work, five days a week. For many, the office can be a very stressful place, with crowded, impersonal workspaces, stale and continuously recycled indoor air, and high-calorie vending machine snacks. All of these add up to an unhealthy environment. Studies show that just sitting at a desk for long hours can be harmful to your health. Luckily, a quiet transformation is underway in the way employers and workers see the office.

Employers are realizing that a happy and healthy office is also a more productive one, and are taking steps to promote workplace wellness. This can mean changes across many different fronts, from personalized workspaces to office yoga. Many offices have adopted innovations like adjustable desks that can be used to work while sitting or standing. Indoor communicating stairs encourage movement through the workday.

Healthy food choices in vending machines and pet-friendly offices go a long way toward helping workers feel more relaxed, and better able to focus on their work. Intangibles like worker recognition programs and better communication can work wonders for motivation. Something as simple as scheduling a meeting before lunch instead of after can contribute to employee satisfaction.

Office spaces too are getting a makeover, with strong influences from green design. Shared lounge areas with cozy couches and throws and cleaner indoor air can improve morale and creativity. Natural lighting is linked to mental concentration and better short-term memory recall. If access to daylight is not possible, designers try to use variable lighting that matches daily circadian rhythms. Acoustic design is used to block out stress-inducing external noise while making it easier to have private conversations indoors.

The best element of workplace wellness is that it’s easy to begin with small simple steps and then work up towards adding more features of a healthy and happy office.

Hurricane Help: A Comprehensive Emergency Supply Kit

Don’t get caught off guard in an emergency. With hurricane season in full force, having a hurricane supply kit is essential to your safety. 

Take the time to double check your supplies and make sure you have everything you need on hand to keep your family safe. Having food and water after a natural disaster is necessary. However, including other items makes the hours after an emergency easier on your family.

When it comes to food, nutrients are important. You should have enough food to last for three to seven days. You’ll need a gallon of water per person and a seven to ten day supply.  You’ll want to pack non-perishable foods, snack foods, cooking tools, fuel, utensils, and cleaning materials. If you have an infant or pet, then keep their nutritional needs in mind.

Tools and supplies help in an emergency, so make sure you have each listed item on hand. A pocket knife that includes other tools, like a screwdriver, corkscrew, and scissors, saves space and is multi-functional. Keep at least one flashlight handy, along with towels and buckets to help with sanitation. If you have canned goods stored, then make sure you have a can opener. Don’t forget your important documents, first aid kit, and activites for children.

This supply kit is a great way to prepare for a hurricane. You’ll have all the tools you’ll need to help you in a time of crisis.

The Fascinating Sleep Habits Of Dogs

Did you know that dogs spend 50% of their lives sleeping? There’s a reason for that, and it’s important to let your dog get its sleep.

Although 45% of dog owners admit to sharing a bed with their dog, human and dog sleeping habits differ.

A primary reason that dogs sleep so much is that they spend 10% of their slumber in REM or the “deep sleep” stage. The less time a dog stays in REM, they more sleep they’ll need throughout the day to get an adequate amount of rest. Compare this to humans who spend 25% of their sleep in REM. Depending on the breed, dogs can sleep up to 18 hours of the day.

The more active a dog is, the less sleep they require. Service animals or police dogs are working around the clock, so they don’t get as much sleep as other dogs. You can keep your dog active by trying tricks such as stimulating toys, play dates with other pups, and scavenging games.

At the end of the day, dogs need sleep. Sleep allows dogs to stay well-rested, energized, and ready for the next day.

Top Lessons From The Oldest People Ever Recorded

We all hope to live long healthy lives, but very few of us are likely to live as long as the people on today’s infographic. Nevertheless, we can still take nuggets of advice from these supercentenarians to help us live out our best lives.

Some factors that affect longevity such as fitness, diet, and lifestyle are within our control, but unfortunately, there are some factors which are not. One such element is gender. Out of the 100 oldest people ever recorded, only six are male. Sorry guys, it looks like we got the short end of the stick here.

Interestingly, a vast majority of the 100 oldest people live/lived in either the United States or Japan, with 69 of them coming from one of those countries. The next most prolific nation only has five people.

Though Japan is known to have a high life expectancy and the U.S. has a large population in combination with a high-quality lifestyle available to those who can afford it, it’s still unusual to see so many of the world’s oldest people in these countries.

Stress can kill you, literally. According to several of the ten oldest people, it’s important to stay as stress-free as possible. Science backs this up, as stress is proven to harm the body over long periods of time. Jeanne Calment, a French woman who lived to be 122 years old, said, “If you can’t do anything about it, don’t worry about it.”

Surprisingly, none of the top 10 oldest people have/had any crazy diets or health routines. Many of them loved certain foods that they would consume in moderation like chocolate, sushi, and eggs. It looks like you can eat your favorite foods and still maintain a healthy lifestyle: just do it in moderation.

The Harsh Realities of Distracted Driving

The myths surrounding cell phones and driving are alarming. Recent data debunks these myths and proves distracted driving occurs with all forms of mobile use. Distracted driving is an extreme epidemic in the United States. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, “During daylight hours, approximately 481,000 drivers are using cell phones while driving.”

As much as we think we can successfully multitask behind the wheel, we are unable to do so. The concept of multitasking is not possible.

Your brain can’t focus on two activities happening at the same time, so when it comes to driving and using your phone, it’s a recipe for disaster. The brain switches between both tasks, so your reaction time slows down. You’re at a higher risk of a traffic violation or accident when talking on the phone while driving.

As tempting as it is to use your phone at stop lights, you should steer away from doing so. A recent study from AAA showed that drivers spend up to 27 seconds being distracted at a red light. Imagine the dangers you and passengers can experience in that 27 seconds.

Although your cell phone can be addictive, you should steer clear of using it while driving. Stay alert, stay attentive, and stay safe. You’re helping yourself and those around you. Drive safe!

7 Ways To Protect Kids Online

Did you know that in 2016 1 out of 3 internet users were children? As this number continues to grow in 2018,  parents continue to search more about internet safety for kids. In this infographic you will find 7 useful tips on using parental controls to protect your kids online, because the rules of the internet don’t really help kids. 

Being exposed to inappropriate web content is one of the biggest threats the internet poses for your child. While some websites have their own kid-friendly versions, like Safety Mode on YouTube, you might still want to get an internet content filter from this list of recommended tools. It will allow you to block certain domains or content that includes keywords of your choice.

An alternative option, especially good for younger kids, is the child-safe internet browser. It already has a list of pre-approved websites and games that you can edit at will. Be sure to check the top 3 browsers we suggest in the infographic.

Most importantly, you should educate your children about potential risks from early days – show them a good example of internet ethics. If your child trusts you, he/she will feel safe sharing their online troubles and experiences. Knowing these 7 tips will allow you to help them!

Should Your Company Outsource Work?

What if you could accomplish everything your business needs, at a fraction of the cost? Outsourcing promises cost cutting benefits, but what could be the tradeoffs?Hiring a contractor or outsourcing means that you’re hiring someone from outside of your company to perform work.  Outsourcing can allow businesses to watch their budgets but also reap the benefits of accessing expertise, flexible staffing, increasing efficiency and in the end, generate more profit.

Do you have unfinished projects, but no time to complete them? Delegate these projects and free up some time.  Growing companies with small staff may not have the funds to hire full timers for everything.  For example outsourcing for affordable graphic design is often one of the first needs of a small business. If you’re a solo-entrepreneur, being able to find good help is key. Repetitive work or back-office operations are perfect for hiring out.

The main appeal lies in outsourced work being a fraction of the cost of hiring a new employee. Outsourcers are paid on a per-hour or per-project basis, without incurring extra costs like paid leave or other benefits.

The key to productive outsourcing is taking the time to hire the right people or third-party. If prospective contractors will handle sensitive information, then make sure to carefully vet candidates.

If you’re not sure whether or not your business should outsource part of its operations, then check out today’s infographic!

7 Impossible Engineering Feats Of The Ancient World

The engineering capabilities of ancient civilizations is mind-blowing when you consider the lack of available mechanized devices. Societies in South and East Asia, Africa, South America, and Central America were especially adept at creating sophisticated structures that compete with modern construction.

The oldest wonder on today’s infographic is the lost city of Mohenjo Daro, which is a nearly 5,000-year-old ruin in Sindh, Pakistan that was discovered in 1920. The Bronze Age city, translated as “mound of the dead,” has a street grid and an advanced drainage system that includes flushing toilets. From 2500 to 1900 B.C., the modest and clean Indus community existed before it mysteriously disappeared.

In China, the 232-foot tall Leshan Giant Buddha was finished in the 9th Century during the Tang Dynasty. A local monk named Hai Tong hoped that that the Buddha would calm turbulent waters that dismantled vessels traveling down the junction of the Min and Dadu River, where the stature sits above.

Archaeologists estimate that it took 90 years to carve the structure out of a red sandstone cliff face. Hidden within the Buddha is a drainage system complete with gutters and channels on the head, arms, and clothes that displaces rainwater and keeps the inner wood dry, which ultimately protects the ancient creation from decay.

Why aren’t the Egyptian pyramids on the list? Besides being well-known to the world, they don’t compare to the mass of the El Mirador temple complex, which has a volume of 2,800,000 cubic meters, making it the largest pyramid in the world. For comparison, Egypt’s Great Pyramid of Giza and Khufu are 200,000 cubic meters smaller.

With the El Tigre temple as the centerpiece, the area was home to 200,000 citizens in 300 B.C., but the complex society of connected settlements was abandoned 2,000 years ago. Amazingly, every roof in the city was designed to usher rainwater into reservoirs, and a sculptural panel that depicts the Mayan creation story decorates the wall of a channel that funnels rain through the city’s central administrative area.

These ancient engineering wonders that also include the cities of Saksaywaman, Peru, Chand Baori, India, Teotihuacan, Mexico, as well as the underground churches of Lalibela, Ethiopia, compete with many of modern society’s sleek skyscrapers, suspension bridges, and underground tunnel systems.

Our ancient ancestors were precise and consistent when it comes to civil engineering.

Here’s The Lowdown About Coffee

Coffee is one of those drinks that’s strangely addictive.  Just about everyone I know loves to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. They love the smell, the taste, and the variety that coffee brings.
54% of people drink coffee on a daily basis. Coffee drinkers usually pick Robusta beans or Arabica beans. If you want to enjoy coffee without the effects of caffeine, then you’ll prefer Arabica beans. Robusta beans contain 50% more caffeine than Arabica beans. Instant coffees contain blends of Robusta beans whereas Arabica are found in more distinct drinks.

There are many different cups that coffee drinkers and coffee makers use for their drinks. Some come with benefits of usage, but others come with a cost. Paper and plastic cups are commonly used in coffee shops, but did you know that they can leach chemicals into your drink? Instead of using these material cups, try a traditional or demitasse mug. Non-disposable cups are cheap, keep your drink warm, and are less harmful to the environment.

If you’re a coffee novice, you should be able to become more proficient after reading today’s infographic. Try new blends, make your own drink, and enjoy. If you want to take your coffee knowledge to the next level, here’s how to order like a pro in a coffee shop.

The Dangerous Side Of Biking

Biking is one of the most popular activities worldwide. In fact, in some countries like Denmark, it has become the main vehicle for transportation, surpassing cars and even the subway.

Copenhagen folks ride around 2 miles per day, and people use their bikes for pretty much every trip under 4 miles.
Worldwide, biking trends are on the rise. In the US, bike trips rose from around 2 billion in 2000 to around 4 billion in 2009.

Among people in the US, men are more likely to ride a bike than women. This isn’t the case in northern Europe, where pretty much everyone bikes.

In the US, women claim they’re concerned by their safety and that keeps them from riding more often. Women with children drive around 20% more than men, probably hauling their kids to a myriad of activities: this makes it more difficult to ride a bike. In Denmark, they have those long family bikes, but they’re still a rare occurrence in the US.
Women’s concerns about bike safety are well founded: in 2009 bicyclists deaths represented around 2% of all traffic fatalities.

Legislation changes have been made in order to protect bikers around the US, making the streets a safer place. If you want to know more, check today’s infographic! It’s all about bike safety. Enjoy the ride!

The Chilling Guide To The End Of The World

All of the typical threats to humanity found in dystopian movies are on today’s infographic, from evolved diseases that create sweeping plagues to climate change, and even vengeful robots. The difference? These threats are real. What constitutes a real threat to humanity?

Any mass incident on the horizon that results in a collapse of civilization and leads to a drastic decrease in global human population for an extended period, along with the crash of political, economic, and social systems.

The following is a list of the most pressing issues that could sweep away humanity in the next 100 years, unless we reverse course and take action:

Artificial Intelligence: Machines that develop a primal consciousness and unlimited intelligence might look at humans as a threat to themselves or the environment as a whole. With the ability to shut down the resources we need to survive, AI could eventually end us all.
Extreme Climate Change: Climate change could create a nightmare of famine, mass migration, and destructive weather events like relentless hurricanes, tsunamis, flooding, and sweeping fires.
Global Pandemic: An unknown infectious disease could spread rapidly because of large metropolitan areas and our advanced transportation network.
Other risks to humanity involve synthetic pathogens that could be engineered by a terrorist group or nation, self-replicating nano-machines that could consume all of the Earth’s biomass, a nuclear war that creates a nuclear winter or destroys the ozone layer, or a significant asteroid impact.

Issues with AI, climate change, and infectious disease must be stomped out on a local level. Large nations and their governments are subject to lobbying and corruption, but individuals and groups can work with community leaders to regulate their municipalities to ensure a safer future for our planet and its guardians, as a whole.

A Fabulous Foodie’s Ultimate Guide To Eating In Rome

When I think of Italy, I instantly think of their cuisine. The pasta, the desserts, the wines. Everything about Italy’s culinary delights makes me want to experience it for myself. Do you have your plane ticket ready? Here’s your guide to eating like a local in Rome.

Italy is known to have the best pasta in the world. If you want an authentic pasta dish from Rome, you must try Amatriciana pasta. It’s a combination of fusilli pasta, tomato sauce, guanciale (or bacon), and pecorino romano that’s to die for. After you enjoy your pasta, treat yourself to cool cone of Gelato. San Crispino is your ideal destination for the sweet treat. This is the same location featured in the hit novel, “Eat, Pray, Love.”

Alongside Italy’s food comes its food-related activities. If you love the pasta, make it yourself! Attend a pasta making class at Grano and Farina Scuola di Cucina. You should accompany that pasta making class with a wine tasting at L’Angolo Divino. It’s a perfect combination of activities to satisfy your palette.

Your dining experience will change tenfold when you discover all that Italy has to offer. From the excellent cuisine to the sweet treats, to the various wines, Italy’s food will always leave you wanting more.

Extreme Party Disasters Fueled by Facebook

What qualifies as a party disaster? Running out of booze? 20 people using the same bathroom? Destroying a 1.5 million-dollar house? Planning a gathering readies you for the small challenges. Thinking ahead, like preparing the cake a couple of days beforehand, or choosing your outfit the previous night can make a world of difference in your stress levels. However, there are various types of party disasters that no preparation or to-do list can prevent.

Today’s party disasters can be classified as real cataclysm, changing these people’s lives forever. Ok, maybe not THAT intense, but you get the drill. If you fancy having some friends over and enjoying a couple of drinks, then be careful who you let into your home. In fact, be prepared for the worst! From ruining mansions to drunk teenagers, parties can quickly get out of hand without you even noticing.

After seeing these horror stories, I’m a firm believer in separating parties and the world wide web. Mainly because it’s one thing to host a small gathering of friends and family to have a drink and celebrate life whereas letting a dozen strangers overrun your house can wreck it. Of course, I’m nowhere near THAT popular, but there’s always the risk, ya know?

The Makings Of Prizewinning Books

Men are from Mars and women are from Venus is a commonly held belief.  It might even apply to reading. 

This Goodreads infographic covers 95 books from 2000 to 2017 that won prizes, including Pulitzers, National Book Awards, and Man Booker prizes.  Using an analysis with the help of 40,000 active members, Goodreads found a few interesting patterns.

Men and women were most likely to read books authored by someone of their own gender and rated the works about the same.   However, when it came to prize-winning novels, these books were still most likely written by a man and featured a male protagonist – not unlike walking into a museum where the artists exhibited are predominantly male. I do wonder about one thing: how do books written under a pseudonym of the opposite sex fit into the picture?

Women read more prize-winning books and were more critical of the works they picked up but only by a slight margin. In the end, it is good to see the divide narrowing and readers being open to trying more and more of what is out there. Reading, after all, is fundamental.

How To Choose Colors That Even Soothe Babies

When faced with color choices, people instinctively react in relatively predictable ways.   Color psychology has interesting roots and has benefited from ongoing research.  When painting a nursery, parents often have a theme or color scheme in mind. But, did you know that colors affect mood, energy, and sleep?    The perfect paint colors do more than match the rug and accessories.

Warm colors, like reds, oranges, and yellows stimulate children. These energy-creating tones are perfect for imaginative play, but not so great for bedtime. Whereas cool colors, like blues and greens, are known for their calming effects. However, they often end up feeling dull or dreary.

Make the most out of your color scheme by using your colors wisely. If you’re in love with bright, warm colors, then start with an accent wall. Too much color in a room will keep an infant awake. Instead, try bringing in warm tones with accessories, such as chair cushions or a colored closet organizer.

If you want cool colors and neutrals, then keep it from feeling boring by choosing lighter shades to compliment your darker tones. Add a pop of color by way of accessories or a well-placed piece of furniture. Cool colors are perfect for bedtime, just make sure you have enough fun accessories to keep the room upbeat for baby.

Choosing paint for an infant’s room doesn’t have to be hard. Even if you have a theme in mind or colors that you’re in love with, remember to think about your baby’s needs. Pick colors that help baby get the best sleep followed by a stimulating day of play.

20 Fundamental Elements Of Design

Design is a fascinating field, but it can be overwhelming for a beginner. Still, aspiring designers have to start somewhere, and the principle elements are a good place to start.
Graphic design expertise is not learned overnight, which is why many choose to hire graphic designers.  Designers have to juggle a number of elements to make everything come together.

One of the most important parts of an illustration is the line work. Lines help direct the viewer’s eye to the illustration. Lines create an emphasis on the subject that the artist illustrated. Crisp lines on any subject matter can give the illustration movement. If you want a clean illustration, line work is essential.

Very often, you’ll have to rely on texture to make your design memorable. Texture is the surface on which you are drawing. It gives your design tactility and depth, but make sure you don’t overdo it.

Another key principle of design is layering, also known as hierarchy. Layering can add dimension to an illustration and create a focal point in it. With hierarchy, you can scale your design, bring line work to certain elements of it, and add color details without messing up other elements.

If you want to get into the world of design, this infographic can help you get started. Learning these principles will give you everything you need to make the cleanest, most detailed illustrations. And while we’re on the subject of drawing, why not check out what doodling says about your personality?

How To Evaluate Whether Your Job Suits You

If you are interested in psychology, you are likely familiar with Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs. At the base of this pyramid is survival,  which is essentially the need for food, water, shelter and sleep. When these needs are met we can focus on safety and security. Next is belonging, the need for friendship and intimacy. If these needs are satisfied, we feel comfortable enough to satisfy our needs to feel important and master new skills. At the very top of this pyramid is self-actualization.

If you’ve ever worked a job you hated, then this infographic may help you think about why you weren’t so engaged with your work.  It reframes a job according to our fundamental psychological needs.

When stuck in survival mentality, employees work only for the money and constantly watching the clock to see when their shift ends.  Work doesn’t inspire them, and they leave as soon as they find a better opportunity. Next, at the security stage, employees are still not engaged. They feel safer than someone stuck in survival but are still not interested in contributing as much as possible to their job.

At the belonging stage, employees are almost engaged. They take more pride in their work but may leave if tempted. When employees feel like a vital part of their organization they finally reach the stage of importance and engagement. When employees are highly engaged, they care more about what they can do for others than what the company can do for them.

If you are stuck at a low level in the pyramid, consider negotiating for a higher salary or changing careers.  After all a job is a major part of life, so make sure it aligns with your needs.

How To Never Miss A Deadline Again

Too much to do, too little time. If that sounds like you, then here are some tricks nailing your deadlines every time.

For starters, know thyself. If you’re terrific at design, then you’ll finish a new logo in a couple of hours. On the other hand, if you’re barely starting to understand how Photoshop works, then don’t assume you’ll be finishing it in a pinch. Plan according to your abilities.

Another thing to remember: stay on top of your deadlines. That means knowing exactly how many days or hours you have until you need to deliver.

Mark the days on a calendar, put reminders on your phone or add sticky notes to the sides of your laptop. Use whatever process alerts you to deadlines.

Finally, understand what is needed of you. If it’s an essay, how many pages do you need? How many sources? What questions does it need to answer? If it’s a project or a campaign: how will success be measured? Be sure everyone is on the same page about the goals and steps to get there. This will make it easier to meet your deadline without stressing about it.

Pit Bull Prejudice: Are They A Public Health Threat?

Pit bulls are perhaps the most controversial dog breed around the world. These pups are exposed to unfair stereotypes that result in a negative reputation for the breed. In my experience, my pit bull has done nothing but show love and affection. So why do pit bulls get such a bad rap?

According to the American Temperament Test Society, pit bulls passed with an 87% passing rate. Although their score is high on the scale, dog owners believe that pit bulls are unruly and dangerous. The implicit bias from outside sources such as the media contribute to the negative opinion that dog owners have on pit bulls. For example, over 200 news outlets covered a report of a pit bull attack in 2007. In that same year, only one news article broadcasted a story about a Labrador attack. Why was the pit bull attack so much more important?

People think that when a pit bull attacks, it’s all because of the breed’s temperament. What they don’t know is that a variety of factors can be the cause for a pit bull to attack. 87% of pit bull attacks had no one to intervene while the attack occurred. 84% of pit bulls unneutered which causes a massive shift in behavior. Pit bulls are like a book, you can’t judge them by their cover.

The truth is, pit bulls are like any other dog. They need a little TLC just like your chihuahua or golden retriever. These dogs aren’t a public health threat. They’re here to make you smile, make you laugh, and make you feel loved. Now do me a favor. If you have a pit bull, give them a pet for me.

The Financial Advice Millennials Need To Hear

Millennials boarded the world ship during the Great Recession, and they witnessed their parents lose a ton of money in the stock market and real estate. Therefore, like children who grew up during the Great Depression, the down economic times triggered more conservative financial notions than the generation before them, Generation X.

The youngest millennials, ages 20 to 30 years old, have struggled through a difficult job market. They also accumulated hefty student loan debt, have a mistrust of investments and real estate, and do not have much expendable income. In fact, nearly half of millennials admit to “treading water” financially, and one missed paycheck would spell doom for them. Millennials are uncomfortable investing and less likely than other generations to invest in the stock market.

On the other hand, they are committed to financial independence and are optimistic about the future.

There are basic steps that millennials, and any generation, should take to better position themselves financially as they settle into homes and start families:

Avoid credit card offers, and if you decide to get one for emergency situations, pay the balance every month to reduce interest fees, especially if you have student loan debt. In other words, do not get into more debt.
Open a savings account and commit a portion of each paycheck to the account. Instead of a dollar amount, use a percentage, so that when you get a raise, the amount you deposit automatically increases.
Get comfortable with investing. Find a sound financial adviser and start with small, fail-proof stock investments that are sure to make money, though not much.
Maintain a budget, and if your lifestyle has to change to accommodate it, then downsize your wants, focus on your needs, or make more money to finance the personal life you want.
Moreover, embrace your earning power by showing initiative and being aggressive as you pursue higher-income employment with excellent benefits. These jobs will NOT find you; you have to get out there and do the work. If it helps, imagine your future and create goals to get there. While retirement funds and insurance are boring subjects, they will eventually help you find a sustainable future.

How To Mix The Best NFL Cocktails For Every Football Game

If you’re tired of the same cooler of beer at every football party or tailgating session you attend, then look no further. Try out these 32 unique NFL-inspired cocktails to spice up your pregame.

A survey of more than 20,000 NFL fans found that they spend an average of $500 on tailgating annually. Superfans throw this dough down during 3-4 hour long pregame parties. In true sporting fashion, we’ve found 32 cocktails inspired by the needs of NFL tailgaters.

More specifically, these mixtures are perfect for the typical tailgater. Research shows that these college-educated males are between 35-40 years old and ready to upgrade their drinking style. Each cocktail takes into account local tastes, color, flavor, and climate.

If your favorite football team is playing the Chicago Bears, then why not sip on the “Chicago.” A little brandy mixed with an orange liquor topped with champagne dresses up the team spirit. Or try a different mixture with similar ingredients in the drink the “Bengal Tiger.” It is perfect for fans of the Cinncinati Bengals. Brandy, triple sec, and cherry liquors flavored with pineapple juice go down smoothly.

Here’s an idea, look at the NFL football schedule and plan your party around cocktails named for your favorite teams. Not only will you impress your party goers, but you’ll have fun doing it!

Wardrobe Organization 101

Mornings can be chaotic. If you’re choosing an outfit from a messy closet, then you’ve got morning mayhem! Check out today’s tricks to make your wardrobe routine, and your life, so much smoother.

A properly organized wardrobe can save you an insane amount of time and energy. Can you imagine that fantastic feeling of getting ready in under ten minutes? Yep, that’s possible if you have your closet in order.

I haven’t checked the exact time, but I lose precious minutes sorting through outfits before going out. If I have to change more than once, then I’ll be spending way more time swimming in a pile of clothes, screaming I have “nothing to wear!” I know for a fact that I’m not the only one.

Even if isn’t spring anymore, it’s always a good time to get organized. The first step is purging the closet. We get attached to some items we don’t use: that hideous gift you can’t part with, a pair of jeans that don’t fit anymore, or our favorite shirt stained with red wine. It’s time to let them go. If you haven’t cleaned that stain, then you won’t do it. If you haven’t worn that sweater, you never will. Let go of the things that don’t spark joy, the things that you don’t use or that will be better in someone else’s home.

Find your system, reduce your clothing items and get organizing.

The Real Brainteaser When It Comes To Delivering Packages

Finding the shortest distance between two points seems simple, but as points are added to a route, the process to precisely calculate the quickest way to get to all points becomes a real brainteaser.

The number of ways you can visit each point multiplies as the destinations increase. For example, with three points, there are only six possible routes, and with four points, there are 24 combinations.

With 24 combinations, you might still have a chance to figure out the shortest route, but once you get to five points, your mind might need some help from AI because there are 120 possibilities to maneuver through all stops. Once you get to nine points, the possibilities are equal to the grains of sand found in one kilogram. We assure you that is A LOT.

Imagine if you are a logistics manager routing numerous trucks through multiple points. If you don’t find the shortest distance between them all, you would be wasting time and resources, which could cost millions of dollars over time, on top of the cost of maintaining your fleet. Furthermore, in a real-world scenario, there are wrecks, construction, and other detours that create havoc on route management.

If you find yourself in this situation, don’t fret, there is software available that assists with optimizing routes, which is coincidentally called Route Optimization software.

Something needs to be done in a routing scenario that involves multiple points because American motorists waste $300 billion a year stuck in gridlock traffic, not to mention the wasted time, which in many cases is more important than money.

Best Road Trip Snacks To Stave Off Hunger

There’s nothing better than a family road trip until everybody starts to get “hangry.” Well, worry no more, here’s everything you need to feed everyone in the car.

If you’re planning to hop in your car and go on a road trip, then you’re in good company. In the US around 75% of all vacation-takers travel by car. According to CENEX, most people travel to visit family or friends, and one of the most popular destinations is Disney World and Yellowstone National Park.

With all that time in the car, you’ll need to be prepared with plenty of snacks. With these 19 road trip snack ideas, you’re sure to find something that everyone will love.

Even kids will like these options, way better than gas station burritos. If you’re in the mood for something sweet, try healthy fruit leather, apple chips or munchie necklaces for the little ones. If salty is more your taste, try salt & vinegar edamame or even homemade spicy Chex mix. It’s way better than store-bought!

Once in the car, people need something to do. If you’re bored, then you can always play classics like “I spy,” or “20 questions.” Stopping for little towns, shops, and unique restaurants adds interest to your road trip as well.  Who knows, you might discover the next big restaurant before everyone else!

If you plan on traveling, then avoid the unhealthy snacks by preparing these favorites ahead of time. Not only will everyone stay happy, but your waistline will thank you as well.

The Real Brainteaser When It Comes To Delivering Packages

Over the last 8 years, the number of social media users grew by the billions. Who are these users and where are they from?


With 3 billion internet users globally, nearly 45% of the world’s population is online. As accessibility grows in other countries, then we expect to see this number continue to rise. Technological advancements and lower cell phone prices enable users across the world to access social media platforms.

Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram continue to pull in the most significant amounts of social media users. In nearly all cases, the majority of people access these platforms via cell phone. In fact, 68% of people use their cell phones for Facebook, and a whopping 86% get on Twitter from their mobile.

This ease of use means that platforms, from Twitter to Pinterest, are multiplying. However, there are multiple social networks for people to try. We often think of the most popular platforms, like Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. This infographic reminds of that there are 2.2 billion Google+ profiles and millions more on LinkedIn, Reddit, and Snapchat.

There’s no doubt that social media and internet use will grow. Unfortunately, there are still some areas where censorship holds people back from platforms like Facebook and Youtube. As years go on, then billions more people will experience the power of social media.

History Of IoT

IoT surrounds you every day, even if you do not notice it. What comes to mind first when thinking of IoT? Perhaps wearables or smart home devices like smart refrigerators. But IoT is not limited to them. You are likely to not even notice the presence of Internet of Things solutions in your life, but they are nearly everywhere.

Even though IoT started becoming more of a recognizable term in recent years,  its history has its roots in the 19th century. Back then nobody knew about IoT, and the only device that resembled modern communication devices was the telegraph. It provided people with direct communication and laid the foundation for interconnectedness.

The development of Internet of Things devices started with the appearance of computers in the 1950s. With the advent of networking and the internet, remotely connected devices paved the way for even more interesting and useful applications.

It seems as though there are endless possibilities for connected devices. Technology can complement nearly every task, from simple equipment status monitoring to complex remote management.

The growth of the industry triggered the establishment of research labs, conferences, and symposiums. As more and more data is gathered, companies have even more novel ways to approach IoT.

Instead of just connecting people, the internet and networking can connect things.  We’ve all been looking forward to smarter homes, let’s take a look at the progression in today’s infographic.

How To Fix Common Cooking Mistakes

What’s the worst nightmare of every Italian? Let me tell you – it’s overcooked or soggy pasta. What about food that’s too spicy or salty? Find out how to fix these rookie mistakes.


Things in the kitchen can go south really fast, and regardless of how experienced you are, there are some things you don’t have control of. Although the dish you messed up seems useless, you can easily fix it with some rather simple tricks.

Did you know that dairy in your overly spicy dish will make the food edible again? Or do you know how to fix an uneven cake? If not, make sure you check out the infographic and learn how to fix all of the 21 most common cooking and baking mistakes, including soft, chewy cookies that don’t spread all over your baking pan.

An Eye-Opening Statistical View Of PS4’s God of War

Pre-release hype catapulted God of War into new gaming territory, as it became PS4’s fastest-selling exclusive game of all time earlier this year.

After its arrival in April 2018, it sold 3.1 million copies in the first three days. Now, several months into its release, we have a better idea of player preferences, and how often players actually win the game, which is not very often.

Kratos has equipment options galore, but the Runweaver Armor set has become the most popular, even though it is rare stock. Found at Thamur’s Corpse on the first visit, the battle gear can be upgraded twice, and consists of Runic Wrymskin Pauldons, Plated Runeweaver Bracers, and a Runeweaver War Belt.

These items are highly favored by the game’s elite players, along with the Talisman of Resolute Protection, which provides a three-second invincibility barrier when it is charged.

You will surely need these possessions, along with a fully-upgraded Leviathan ax and Blades of Chaos if you plan on meeting and defeating Queen Sigrun, the final Valkyrie.

Most folks don’t stand a chance against her, even with the proper gear. For every 25 battles, she wins 24, but in “Give me God of War” Mode, players win only 1 percent of the time, while the easiest approach garners success at a ratio of 12 to 1.

The highest-rated new PS4 release of all time is making history with a 94 on Metacritic, as gamers dive into battle to take on their enemies.

A New Corporate Leadership: The Chief Data Officer

We all know about notable CEOs, CFOs, and UFOs. But what about CDOs? This relatively unique position has gained importance given the constant data breaches and privacy issues major companies have had in the last few years. Want to jumpstart your corporate career? Maybe look into CDOs!
Basically, CDO is short for Chief Data Officer. This designates a worker responsible for the governance and use of data as an asset. To do this, CDOs use data processing, data mining, analysis information trading, and other means. CDOs usually report directly to CEOs, meaning that if you snag the job, you will spend a lot of time with the company leaders.

The whole CDO thing can be confusing, because Chief Digital Officer also shares the same acronym. Nevertheless, while the Chief Data Officer is in charge of major decisions like what data is kept and organized, the Chief digital officer takes care of the information systems through which data is processed and stored.

CDOs gained popularity in companies, mainly banks and insurance companies, after the 2008 crisis to ensure data transparency and quality for both risk management and analytic reporting. Several US Government branches have CDOs, as well as some European banks.

Even though CDOs are far more common in the US than in other latitudes, in 2014 France appointed Henri Verdier as Administrateur General des Données (CDO) of the French administration, making him one of the first country-wide CDOs. If you’re interested in questions like privacy, quality control, and data management, maybe a CDO career is in your future. Check out today’s infographic to know more about data officers around the world.

How To Become A Google Power User

Ahhhhh the secrets of search. These simple shortcuts can help you step up your Google game tremendously. I learned almost every one of these hacks during college. I’ve written hundreds of pages of reports and have used google to research thousands of different things. Utilizing these tools create a much easier way to navigate the web.

One of my favorite tricks for finding topical titles is to use the ‘intitle’ option. This search operator enables you to search for general words in the article and at the same time searching for a specific word in the title. Researching specific years of a companies history? Recipe substitutes? It’s so versatile.

As a marketing student during college I ended up researching a lot about local businesses. Using the ‘Location:’ search operator was a god send. Digging through sales history, or company growth was so much easier when unneeded geography was cut out.

Finally, the asterisk. The asterisk helps you when you have what I like to call a ‘brain fart’. Putting an * in place of a word you can’t remember. It’s wonderful when looking up lyrics or any titles. I * you guys learn a few time saving tricks from today’s graphic!

Wine, Dine, Burger Me

Whether you’re meat-eater, vegan, pescatarian, or vegetarian, most of us can appreciate a good burger.

(Welcome to Good Burger, home of the good burger, can I take your order? I couldn’t resist.) But, who says we have to pair our burgers with the typical shake or soda? That’s right! Folks are loving to pair their gourmet burgers with wine! There are plenty of pairings that just might tickle your fancy (and taste buds!).

The infographic suggests that if you want a bold flavor, perhaps you’d like to pair Barolo with your lamb burger. On the other hand, a chicken burger with some Chenin Blanc can really highlight the herbs. What about a combination of flavors? Maybe you could try your bacon cheeseburger with champagne instead of a lemon lime soda next time. We definitely can’t forget about our veggie lovers. Try a white burgundy with your portobello burger at dinner tonight to combine the creamy, silky flavors. Or, perhaps some tempranillo can bring out the earthy taste in your veggie burger tonight. The possibilities are endless. What pairings would you like to try?

Burgers and wines aren’t your fancy? That’s cool. Maybe some cheese pairings might interest you. But if you are down with the trend, let’s face it. Your burger and wine combination with that Reyes filter is going to look fantastic on your feed this weekend. Just saying.

7 Jobs That You Couldn’t Apply To 20 Years Ago

How often do you think “Boy, I hate my job. I wish I could do something else, but there aren’t enough job opportunities out there”? Learn how to use the market changes for your benefit!


As technology advances, so does the job market. More than 700,000 jobs are expected to come from positions for digital analytics managers alone. Technology eliminates some jobs, but it opens doors to newly-created jobs in various industries.

For instance, the invention of driverless or autonomous cars has many pros and cons. There’s an everlasting debate whether or not they’ll bring benefit to humanity. However, with new inventions comes new job opportunities, like a job as a driverless car engineer.

Technology seems to give you another shot, the opportunity to change your career and do something you like. However, just because technology gives you a shot, doesn’t mean you should take it for granted.

For instance, with the rise of social media, the need for social media managers grew. Still, you’ll need to work hard and constantly improve your skills. The rewards are great though since the median salary for this job is $48,097. Check out the infographic below and see which jobs hadn’t existed 20 years ago! Later on, how robots could steal your job one day!

Selling A House In The Future of Outer Space

Life on Mars would be different for humans in so many ways: breathing, eating, getting around. But what if we still sold houses in exactly the same way?

As this humorous infographic points out, perhaps humans are fated to continue their cliched old habits, even as we migrate halfway across the solar system. Maybe that will include cheesy, jargon-filled property listings, like this imaginary advert from ‘Space in Space’, designed to look like a Zillow or RightMove page.

Every detail has been considered: as the statistics on the right-hand side show, this house has been on the market since May 2, 2041. Nearby transport at the West Mars Space Station and Marston Rover Station has been helpfully included, and the illustration shows off the property’s beautiful transparent dome- presumably there to keep the air breathable.

As this listing is set in the future, the real estate jargon has been updated to match. The house has innovative amenities such as health scanners, artificial intelligence in the kitchen, gravity control, and a retractable glass roof, which are sure to provide its residents with an ‘out of this world’ experience. It’s hard to judge whether Marston, West Mars is an affordable or high-end neighborhood, since no one knows what £620,995 will be worth by 2041.  Location is still likely everything – back on Earth spending $500,000 on a house yields quite different results. But as this infographic demonstrates, one thing is clear: wherever humanity ends up, we’ll probably still be selling real estate.

40 Benefits Of Owning Pets

Who doesn’t love a furry friend? Or maybe a water-bound friend? Or a reptile friend? The possibilities (and benefits) are endless! What’s your reason to have an animal companion?
The American Pet products association calculated in 2016 that there were around 78 million dogs and 86 million cats owned in the United States. This means that approximately 40% of all households in America have a dog, and around 35% have a cat.

Pet owners cite benefits like preventing loneliness, encouraging exercise, and reduced anxiety. According to this infographic, the research shows that humans who own pets have lower resting heart rates.

Pet owning seniors reported 30% less call for medical treatment than non-pet owners. This suggests that the stress-relieving benefits of pets not only keeps us healthier but also saves money on costly medical expenses.

Nevertheless, more than 6 million pets enter animal shelters in the US every year. Even more heartbreaking news? Only around 3.2 million shelter animals are adopted, making shelters every day more crowded.

So what can you do? First, if you’re interested in a pet, look into adopting, especially from high kill-rate shelters. If you can’t commit for the long run, you can also foster! Volunteers are always needed to care for the ones that need one on one attention. If all else fails, you can always donate every penny counts!

There are many ways to find the right pet for you. The benefits of pet ownership make owning a pet a healthy life choice.

The Best Productivity Apps To Manage Your Time

Be more effective in every part of your day with these 20 apps. That is if you manage not to get sorryed into planning your productivity instead of being productive.

If you’re like most of us, then you’ve probably found yourself at the end of the day wondering where the time went.

Between checking incessant emails, constant interruptions by your coworkers, that call from your family, and the nagging in the back of your head reminding you of the next 20 things to do… well, it’s no surprise we aren’t reaching our fullest potential.

I think that feeling of being genuinely accomplished at the end of a workday should become routine, and not something that happens once in a blue moon. So how can you improve your productivity levels? There are more than a hundred ways to accomplish this, but here are just a few to get you started:

Start with the worst tasks first. Apps like Trello and Google Assistant help you visualize where to start.
Ditch time-sorryers. These are those commitments you agreed to but don’t want to do. Thus you keep postponing them. Use communication apps and time calculators to determine if those commitments are worth the time.  Figure out how to rescue time by tracking your time and seeing where it goes.
Speaking of commitments, learn to say no. If you’re simply too busy to go on that 2-week trip, then say so! If your reasons are valid, no one should have the right to question your decisions.
It’s probably no surprise that most of the popular mobile phone apps in the last 5 years result in more loss of productivity than gains.  Think about it this way though, if you save yourself a few extra hours a day, you’ll have more time to play also!

How Color Meanings Clash Across Cultures

When you think of anger, what color initially pops up in your mind? How does it make you feel?  What about sadness? What color do you envision?

What color means death or life to you? Your answer may be indicative of the culture to which you belong. While some of us may initially think that the meanings of many colors are universally the same amongst cultures, that’s not always the case.  Colors are actually perceived differently in the UK and most Western countries versus other countries and cultures around the world.

Whereas black means death in many cultures, in some Middle Eastern countries, it actually means rebirth. In some African countries, black means age, maturity, and masculinity. In Western cultures, brides wear white as a sign of purity.  However in many Asian cultures, white represents death and is worn at funerals.  Quite the opposite of what you might expect!   In India white also stands for sadness.

In Latin America, blue represents good health and hope, and in some Middle Eastern countries, it signifies spirituality, safety, and protection. In Japan, pink represents masculinity.

Get this—in Thailand, colors are actually associated with the days of the week. Hmm…I may start implementing color-coded pens into my planner. It’s always good to open your eyes to the perspectives of other cultures, especially if you’re planning on purchasing a gift for your friend who is from a country other than your own. Did any of these color meanings surprise you?

The Psychology Behind Gambling

Vegas seems like such a fun vacation… until you put everything on black and it goes the wrong way.  Hindsight is 20/20 and after a poor outcome everyone regrets it. 

If you look at the cold hard numbers, most gamblers lose more often than not.  They are betting against the house after all, which is in business to win a majority of the time.  So why do gamblers keep coming back for more? It’s all about the psychology of gambling, and it ain’t pretty.

The uncertainty of it all makes your body release a rush of adrenaline and dopamine, and when you are rewarded by a win (even a small one), you just want to keep coming back for more.

Casinos and other gambling places know that, and take advantage of it: most games were carefully designed to tap into the psychological and physical rewards of winning.  Not only that, but every inch of a casino –from the carpet to the music and the lights- are built to attract people and make you stay as long as possible. After a win, your brain wants you to keep playing until the next reward: you’re certain you can win, you just don’t know *when*. Exciting!

If you want to dip your toes into casino waters and try to at least play the odds intelligently, you can try your hand at high-skill games. This means forgoing slots and trying poker or blackjack. After all, you can always teach yourself to be a better poker player! If you want to know more about the psychology behind casino games, take a look at today’s infographic.

Do You Have A Boss Or A Leader?

Take a moment and think over your career thus far. Now think about the managers you worked for.

I’m sure a few supervisors stand out in your mind, whether it be for good reasons or not-so-good ones. Let’s flip the script. Say you own your own business or manage a team at work.  Do you consider yourself a boss or a leader? Today’s infographic shows that a boss and a leader are not the same thing. But, what is it that truly makes a good leader stand out from the pack of bad bosses some folks are so used to?

Whereas a boss drives their employees, a leader coaches them, seeking out teaching opportunities to grow their team. A not-so-good boss obtains respect by inspiring fear and asserting how “big and bad” they are, compared to generating enthusiastic and excitement in others. When it comes to the blame game, good leaders aren’t hesitant to jump in and collectively work on trouble spots, whereas a run-of-the-mill boss would just point the finger. A boss demands that their team members “do this” and “do that,” but a good leader is willing to go on the journey with them.

What do you think? Is a boss and leader the same thing, or do you agree  that they are different? Have you been a bad boss before and developed into a good leader? Or, have one of your bosses made that transformation to leader right before your eyes?

42 Hand Gestures That Will Make You A Better Traveler

Imagine giving someone the finger when you thought you were saying hello. Sounds like an absolute nightmare, right? Anyone who’s tried to learn a foreign language knows how difficult it can be: from pronouns, to verb tenses, to declensions, it’s not a simple skill to pick up. Well, turns out you need to worry about more than what’s coming out of your mouth: hand gestures can vary hugely across the globe, and could be the root of an unexpected faux pas at any moment.

The good news is that with the help of today’s infographic you can master hand gestures from across many different cultures. And while they make take some getting used to, hand gestures can actually be a great form of shorthand (no pun intended.) For example, in Ghana, a simple palm movement can be used in place of the phrase “come here”, and in France, simply touching your face below the eye will be immediately understood as “I don’t believe you.” Ultimately, taking the time to learn hand gestures can go a long way towards making you blend in with the locals- and, most importantly, it can mean the difference between saying hello and deeply offending someone.

Read This Before You Watch Avengers Infinity War

With some series (whether books, TV, or movies), it’s easy to keep up. You read a new book every few years; you catch up on a TV season around the holidays. But who, besides the most dedicated fans, manages to keep up with every release in the Marvel universe? Chances are, if you’re reading this, you’re not one of those superfans. Maybe you saw Iron Man or Captain America, or the first Avengers film in 2012. It’s hard enough just to keep track of all the romantic relationships in Marvel.  But now, Avengers: Infinity War is out, and you haven’t the slightest clue what’s going on. You’re in luck: this remarkably detailed infographic is here, your personal superhero, and it’s going to save the day.

When I say the level of detail is remarkable, it truly is mind-blowing. You follow the outer circle clockwise to peruse every single Marvel universe film from 2008 onwards, each entry color-coded and containing only the essential details. A few sentences sum up each film, while helpful symbols tell you which characters were introduced and on which planet the film is set. Meanwhile, the inner circle allows you to track each of the Infinity Stones and jogs your memory as to when they first appeared. Best of all, the infographic contains no spoilers for Infinity War, making it the perfect primer to study up before seeing the film.

11 Ways To Have Meaningful Conversations With Your Partner

We spend most of our lives talking, but are we really communicating? Discover how you can improve your communication skills and have meaningful conversations with your partner.

Communication is the determining factor when it comes to forming human relationships. However, with the rise of smartphones and digital everything, we’ve lost the habit of truly listening and paying attention to the body language of others. Engage in authentic conversations with your partner by following the 11-tips in this infographic.

1. Start by putting down your cell phone and focusing on the discussion.

2. Pay attention to your partner’s body language. Studies show that 55% of how our words are perceived stem from facial expressions.

3. Reflect on what your significant other is saying to show that you’re listening while giving them a natural pause to add to or alter their original statement.

4. Listen to the whole thought without coming up with a rebuttal.

5. Ask questions instead of giving advice. Experts suggest that advice leads to defensive behavior whereas questions demonstrate your genuine concern.

6. Business discussions are great, but social topics help partners develop deeper relationships.

7. Move away from conversations about yourself. If you’re talking longer than 40 seconds about you or something related to you, then you’re dominating the conversation.

8. Encourage personal exploration with open-ended questions.

9. Add value to conversations with less gossip and more deep thoughts.

10. Remember that good conversation habits develop over time, so have patience.

11. Share a story, not just stats.

Most importantly, always remember that the best conversations come from active listeners and thoughtful thinkers. Focus on being present and authentic first and foremost, and the rest will happen over time.

Why Xiaomi And Innovation Are Shaking Up The Mobile Market

Smartphones have flooded the scene since the popularization of the iPhone.  One of the world’s biggest markets, China, has also produced a significant competitor.  Xiaomi may not be a household name outside of China, but it’s shaken up the mobile market enough for giants to take notice. While Apple and Samsung might still own the majority of the smartphone market in the US, Xiaomi is shaping itself as a significant competitor. After being founded in 2010, the Chinese company became well-known for their sleek-looking android phones –that borrowed some design elements from Apple- for relatively low prices.

What you might not know is that Xiaomi can do way more stuff than only smartphones. In fact, this company manufactures dozens of products from watches to TVs, radios and light bulbs.

Nevertheless, if you’re interested in the iPhone-like smartphones, you might be in for a bit of a surprise. Even though Xiaomi is starting to enter the American market, they still don’t have an official store, not even online. If you want to enjoy the Xiaomi experience in the US, you will have to go the alternative route:

Xiaomi-mi website. This isn’t an official website but rather an importer of their products. They list most of the smartphones Xiaomi makes.
Ebay. Here you can buy new or used Xiaomi smartphones, although you should be careful and read your vendor’s reviews.
Craigslist. You can find real gems but also scammers, so be careful.
As Xiaomi touts its value as the world’s most valuable startup, insiders suggest that the company could go public or possibly purchase the GoPro shortly, so stay tuned for exciting products from the innovative founder, Lei Jun.

Why HIIT Is The Number One Fitness Trend

Workout trends have come and gone, but HIIT-style workouts are still all the rage. Why are they so popular? Here’s all you need to know.

First things first. HIIT stands for High-Intensity Interval Training. HIIT is a cardiovascular workout, organized in intervals of varying intensity and length. In this sense, it’s the same as any cardio workout: it gets your heart rate up and the blood flowing through your veins.

The big thing about HIIT is that it puts to work the anaerobic system. This is a metabolic system that is only used to supply energy in short bouts of intense work, from 10 seconds and up to 2 minutes. In this time, the body uses mainly glucose in the muscles, but no oxygen. Working he anaerobic system allows you to get stronger and faster, enjoy more endurance in runs or walks, as well as increases your metabolism and improves your overall physical performance.

In spite of these benefits and because of its intensity, experts recommend not to do anaerobic training on consecutive days. Your body needs a little time to recover and rebalance because it’s in that time when it makes new muscles and burns a bit more fat. If you’re interested in how to add some HIIT moves to your workout routine, check out today’s infographic.

5 LinkedIn Marketing Strategies (And 2 Crucial Mistakes To Avoid)

Are you getting as much value as possible from your LinkedIn account? Use these LinkedIn marketing strategies to engage prospects and further your career.
Start boosting your career by using LinkedIn to its full potential. If you want prospects, you can’t wait around for them to show up. You must market in the right places. If you manage your LinkedIn marketing strategies properly, then you’ll find people who show an interest in what your company has to offer.

Begin by exploring your opportunities. Advanced search options and reviewing your contact’s connections can reveal potential prospects, making LinkedIn useful for generating B2B leads.

Next, expand your network by sending personalized connection requests to potential prospects and join LinkedIn groups.

Engage your new connections without pitching your product or services. Comment on their status updates, and articles. Share their content when appropriate. This demonstrates you are paying attention to them.

Avoid mentioning anything sales-related too soon. It’s a major turn off when you meet someone new and then realize they are just trying to sell you something. Instead, try to establish genuine relationships. Lastly, use expert positioning to build trust. People buy from those they know, like and trust.

LinkedIn is a social platform perfect for connecting with others in your target market. Focus on the 5 E’s of LinkedIn marketing strategies, but avoid rushing your connections by having a plan in place for moving the conversation offline.

Reading Reduces Stress And Helps Prevent Alzheimer’s

Reading doesn’t just teach us new things and provide entertainment. It offers substantial benefits for the mind and body. Benefits extend to children and adults of all ages. The youngest of our population, those who are exposed to reading before preschool, show increased levels of performance in formal education. Whereas, older adults who read are less likely to develop Alzheimer’s. From bedtime rituals to a 68% reduction in stress levels, reading a book keeps a person healthy in many ways.

In one study, participants read 30 pages of a book the night before an MRI scan. The results showed extra activity in the left temporal cortex. That’s the area associated with language. These results demonstrate that the brain is like a muscle. The more you train it, the stronger it gets.  With the convenience of electronic readers this mental gym can be picked up anywhere!

There are other mental health benefits, reducing stress and easing depression. Self-help books offer uplifting content and stimulate relaxation.

Reading about people and fictional characters achieving greatness is inspirational. For example, people who’ve read about characters who assert themselves and ask a boss for a raise are more likely to do the same thing. Even reading novels can improve your memory as your brain works to memorize characters and important plot points.

Combing through a book offers endless possibilities. Find books you’d love to read about.   It could help you maintain a sharp mind into old age and inspire new life choices.

Here Is How To Decipher Food Labels

Food labels help us identify what’s in our food, but sometimes the wording can be complicated misleading. Discover how food labels differ and start making smarter choices.  For example, you know Vitamin Water is mainly sugar and water right? It’s well marketed to appeal to anyone looking for a health drink though. It can be difficult to judge what our food contains when we don’t understand the terminology.


In the United States, health claims on food labels help the food industry sell more than 377 billion dollars worth of food each year. This marketing ploy drives sales on both natural and organic products.

Organic foods must contain at least 95% organic ingredients. They can’t be produced with antibiotics, hormones, and pesticides. Although the word natural sounds synonymous with organic, it’s not. The FDA has no official definition for the word natural. This ambiguity makes it difficult to know what exactly constitutes a natural product.

Each of the various food groups, from bread to meat, have their stipulations for food label wording. You’ll see terms like naturally raised or free-range. You’ve probably come across grass fed, cage-free, or no hormones. Each of these phrases means something slightly different. Stay on top of what you’re buying and consuming by examining what your food labels mean..you may even find some bizarre ingredients. Until labels are more transparent, we’ll need to do our research.

Battle Royale: Mobile App Vs Mobile Website

A mobile presence is essential to modern business and startup success. Both mobile apps and responsive web design drive traffic, but which is best for your company?  As mobile app usage continues to grow and internet browsing stagnates, more companies consider developing a mobile app. However, smartphone-friendly web design remains a compelling option.

There are some significant differences between mobile apps and websites. Mobile apps are accessible offline, more interactive, and can use phone features such as location services and the camera. A responsive site requires an internet connection but is easier to maintain and update.

People spend more than 2.5 hours on apps compared to less than half an hour browsing the web. Apps are handy, but the high development fees can be a barrier. People also tend to only use their favorite apps, with 97% of their time spent on their 10 apps. Therefore, it’s risky to spend many thousands of dollars to develop an app that nobody ever uses.

Depending on your budget, it may be a better choice to start with a responsive website. However, if you want to take advantage of mobile device’s GPS, camera, integrated payment systems, or have an idea for a potentially popular app that can showcase your organization’s services then it may be worth the investment.

Make the right decision, and you just might join the ranks of startup fame.

The Rise Of Micro-Influencers Selling Brands

With 27% of people using ad-blockers, getting eyes on your business is tough. While larger brands employ celebrities or influencers, small businesses benefit by engaging with micro-influencers.

Micro-influencers have between 1,000 and 500,000 followers, but their audience usually falls between 5,000-10,000 folks. These opinion leaders and inspirational spirits are more approachable than mega-influential celebrities. The deep connection that micro-influencers have with their adoring audience creates a great place to present your products and services.

By allying with a micro-influencer, you get instant credibility. Coupling your product or service with an audience in your specific niche is invaluable. Like targeted advertisements that are delivered by an ad server based on user behaviors, micro-influencers have followers that serve as leads authentically. You’ll find many micro-influencers on social media, from health and wellness to the agricultural niche.

Consider that 40% of Twitter users have made a purchase based on the suggestion of a micro-influencer. 70% of people in the United States seek out opinions before they make a purchase. We trust the opinions of our friends and family. Micro-influencers engage their audience, so they feel like a friend. Hence, the power of a micro-influencer.

If you’re looking for an innovative organic approach to sales, then find influential social media gurus who align with your products. Engage with micro-influencers while building connections for future collaborations.

17 Secrets Inspirational Leaders Use To Nurture And Improve For Success

Are motivating leaders formed or born? Research suggests that leadership behaviors are 24% genetic and 76% learned. Which leadership traits can you build upon?  People from all areas of life, including extroverts and introverts, rise to leadership roles. Not all people are blessed with the instincts to lead, but their dedication to becoming a great leader eventually pays off. If you struggle to inspire people now, then there are traits you can develop to make yourself an effective leader.

The most important characteristics of great leaders are empathy and self-awareness. A sound leader is genuine both in words and action. Inspirational leaders demonstrate this by wanting others to succeed and by valuing the ideas of the people on their team.

Staying centered helps a leader inspire others. This deep understanding of strengths and weaknesses influences their decisions. Strong leaders aren’t afraid to hire people to fill the talent areas that they lack. They delegate responsibilities and set up systems so others can master the tasks like a pro.

Fear and negativity spreads quickly and destroys teams, so have a clear mission, stay positive, and solve problems as they arise instead of complain about them. Even Steve Jobs, whose intensity and ego often got the best of him, knew, “Great things in business are never done by one person; they’re done by a team of people.”

How To Build A Successful Personal Brand Online

70% of businesses look up applicants on social media, including a whopping 87% who check for your profile on LinkedIn. Creating a successful personal brand online takes work, but could land you your dream job.

Recruiters review your profiles on social media platforms. In fact, 6 in 10 employers won’t even contact you if they can’t find your online profiles after scanning your resume. If you want to stand out as a true professional, then Google yourself and see what comes up.

Some pitfalls of personal branding are lying about qualifications, provocative content, poor grammar, and unprofessional usernames. Everything you write online says something about yourself. Use your online profiles to demonstrate your creativity and ability to interact with others.

You can start improving your personal brand online today by deleting inappropriate content. Pay attention to what pages you follow and which posts you favorite or like. Companies use algorithms based on your social media footprint to predict sensitive information about your habits, like smoking or political views. Next set up a consistent bio and personal statement on each profile. Don’t forget to add a professional photo on all platforms.

A cohesive brand shows that you’re a business professional. Plus, you’re more likely to get a callback, or even better, receive offers from headhunters.

6 Superfoods That’ll Keep Your Dog Healthy And Happy

As a dog owner, you’re always on the look-out for harmful foods that your dog might ingest. But, did you know that dog superfoods exist? Each of these 6 superfoods helps your pooch stay healthy, happy, and active.

It makes perfect sense that there would be superfoods for dogs, just as there are for humans. While some human food is dangerous for pets and considered toxic food, others help both humans and canines.  For example, blueberries and kale make a list for canine health heroes, and they certainly top plenty of human superfood lists also.

Try adding fish oil for arthritis and anxiety. Or carrots to clean your dog’s teeth and improve their eyesight. Some of these superfoods are ingredients that can be added into snacks or combined with other healthy treats. Try freezing blueberries into coconut oil for a summer treat, or mix a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar into your pup’s regular food.

Not only can incorporating these superfoods into your dog’s diet help keep your pooch healthy and improve their life expectancy, but dogs will find these snacks delicious, too. After all, you’d get bored of eating the same thing day in and day out, so why not spice Fido’s meal up as well.

How To Stay Productive When You’re Tired

After pulling an all-nighter or tossing and turning all night, the last thing you want to do is keep working. But what if you absolutely have to?

Even though no amount of planning will replace a good night’s sleep, there are some tricks and tools that will help you power through the day and work efficiently even if you’re ready to hit the hay.

If you’re always tired, you may be taking on too much work. If you always work late, bring work home, and spend a lot of your free time thinking about your job, you could be exhausted because you lack work-life balance. This situation is more common today than a couple of decades ago. Our culture praises endless work and long hours while frowning upon taking well-deserved vacations and even paid maternity leave.

It’s not easy to perform under stress and feel accomplished when your eyes are bleary. If a good nap or day off is absolutely out of the question, water, coffee and regular breaks will become your best friend and make it easier to fly through your to-do list in no time. Once you’ve finished your most pressing tasks, go take a break or hop in bed early. You deserve it!

How 6 Billion Users Share Files Every Day

For more than 30 years people all over the world have been sharing files. You’re probably familiar with DropBox or Google Drive, but did you know that file sharing began in 1978 with a platform called Usenet?


Current generations share on a daily basis, from funny memes on Facebook to mouth-watering recipes on Pinterest. However, social media is only one way to share, and it’s certainly not a first among sharing platforms. That honor goes to Tom Truscott and Jim Ellis who created the platform Usenet to engage users across the world and stimulate conversation in 1978.

By 1985 the basic concept for uploading and sharing a file, called File Transfer Protocol was created. In 1999 we had the first peer-to-peer (P2P) network called Napster. At least 7 more systems were built over the next 9 years which brought us to the applications we are familiar with now, namely DropBox and Google Drive. 

Currently, more than 20 million people share files daily on a variety of platforms. Interestingly enough, US is not the leading country in file sharing. Russia tops the list while the US is fifth after China, Brazil, and India. The ways people share their data grows daily, and we feel the best is yet to come. Although sharing documents is essential for global business communication, other platforms like driverless ridesharing is changing the way we travel.

Why Education Saves Lives Across The World

We know getting an education helps you earn a higher income, but do you know that an educated population also saves lives on a global scale?


Since 1918 the United States has required an elementary education for all children. However, for children across the world, few opportunities exist for basic education. That’s why the Global Partnership for Education considers learning a critical component for achieving 17 global goals for health and well-being.

According to a report by the Education Commission, providing female students with a primary education saved more than 30 million lives of children under the age of 5. Knowledge leads to healthy choices and a wholesome lifestyle in general. For instance, educating our kids helps reduce HIV infections. The number of possible HIV infections that could have been avoided is mind-numbing – 700k people could have been saved from HIV each year.

A proper education impacts families for generations. Children with educated mothers are 50% more likely to be immunized and twice as likely to attend school. With these substantial benefits, it’s easy to understand why the Global Partnership for Education considers teaching children an essential goal. Speaking of education, check out how the Montessori Method works and how people benefit from this approach.

Why Joint Pain Causes Suffering In Our Furry Friends And How To Help

Although an overwhelming majority of older dogs suffer from Osteoarthritis joint pain, most of us never realize our dogs are hurting. Unfortunately, what we don’t know may shorten our dog’s life. There’s a way you can learn what’s wrong with your dog and alleviate its suffering.


If you’re not a book-worm or a serious dog-lover, you probably don’t know that around 80% of old dogs suffer from conditions such as arthritis, hip and elbow dysplasia, degenerative myelopathy and other serious illnesses. Most often, you won’t know a thing because your dog will probably suffer in silence.

If you notice Fido walking stiffly, acting testy if you touch it on certain spots, or if your buddy sleeps more than usual, then your dog might have joint pain. Preventing symptoms from worsening is crucial. Speak with your veterinarian, then pay close attention to your dog’s diet and bedding. Plus make sure your pet is getting enough exercise. Joint pain that goes unnoticed can have dire consequences as immobility increases the risk of many other health conditions.

Identifying your dog’s pain in the first step in getting treatment. For the 48% of US households that own a dog, keeping your furry best friend healthy and happy is essential. If you love pets, then you’ll enjoy finding out which states love dogs the most.

How To Create A Stand-Out Business Video From Concept To Development

Videos are a vital element of business marketing. However, creating the video and reaching your target audience is tricky. Stand out from the crowd with these tips.

With HubSpot reporting that 55% of online users watch videos daily, we know that video marketing is essential. However, along with an increase in viewers comes an onslaught of new video content. Stand out from the crowd by getting to know your audience.

Determine your customer’s preferences by analyzing your experience with your buyers, researching your competition, and trying to understand the buyer’s psychology. The last one seems to be the most difficult one, but you can solve it by asking yourself questions from a buyer’s perspective.

Only when you have brainstormed all your options and created a general idea, should you move on to the process of video creation. From here you’ll want to ask yourself if you’re going to do it yourself or hire an expert. Choose the right video expert by checking their script writing abilities, tech expertise, and communication skills. Although video is crucial to marketing, you’ll want to invest in proven marketing tactics to seal the deal. Making a video isn’t for the faint of heart, but with the right strategy, you’ll get the ROI you need.

Shiatsu Self Massage: No Appointment Necessary!

No time to schedule a massage? No problem, practice self shiatsu, in fact—you might be doing it already!

With our busy lives it’s hard to fit in time for taking care of ourselves. Trying to fit in self care like a massage might seem like an unnecessary luxury, but luckily you can do it yourself!

 (If you get tired, you could go for an automated massage chair, which even makes your home a bit more inviting!)

I often rub my arm up and down, as is recommended for metabolism without even thinking about it. Or I interlock my fingers as indicated, and that helps with circulation. Self help can feel incredibly good!

There are other advantages to aspire to like concentration, fresh energy, friendship and although love is not included, date night could be a little more interesting with a bit of massage.

So take things into your own hands, look at this chart, and give yourself a massage.   There are many benefits. I definitely plan to commit some to memory.  Might even be good party tricks for the holidays!

The Essentials for Taking Cold Weather Photos

Although it might be April, I’m still experiencing snow with temperatures of 40 degrees and below where I live. Cold weather is not the greatest to deal with, but the sights around you are beautiful. There are picture perfect moments that you’d never want to forget. If you like to capture the beauty of the cold, here is your essential guide for cold weather photography.
You want to make sure that you’re prepared before taking off into your chilly adventures. Carry your camera and supplies in a bag or backpack which should include spare batteries, airtight plastic bags for storage, and gloves. The more prepared you are, the more successful your photo shoot will be.

The biggest thing to remember is to keep your equipment as warm as possible. If you keep your equipment out in the cold, the condensation will build up and the moisture will form inside of it. You don’t want to ruin your camera by the beauty that is snow!

I hope you can take these tips into a cold climate to create beautiful photos. It’s a different direction to take your photography, a great way to build a portfolio, and maybe even gain a career from it. Now go out and create something great!

6 Dubious Wrongful Death Suits that Made Headlines

From extreme water intoxication to death on the set of the Walking Dead, wrongful death suits stemming from peculiar circumstances often occur.


Wrongful deaths are considered those that could have been prevented, but neglect, recklessness, or purposeful action was involved. Many of the most prominent cases are ripe with controversy, and the 6 on our infographic are prime examples.

The biggest wrongful death suit on our list involved tobacco’s heavy hitter, R.J. Reynolds, who was ordered by the courts in Florida to pay $23.6 billion to the widow of a man who died of lung cancer.

In the case, the plaintiff proved that the tobacco company knew the dangers of smoking, including cancer and death, and attempted to hide the facts from the public. In the end, the Supreme Court reduced the ruling to $16.9 million.

In another controversial wrongful death case, Jim Carrey was accused of contributing to the suicide of a woman in which he was having an affair.

Most wrongful death suits, however, are settled relatively quietly and do not involve newscasts and tabloid magazines. The most common wrongful deaths cases are DUI-related or medical malpractice fatalities.

In fact, according to the Institute of Medicine, 98,000 Americans die each year because of a preventable medical error. This number trumps the more than 40,000 motor vehicle fatalities.

Fortunately, the courts protect us and ensure justice when a death occurs due to neglect or recklessness.

20 Online Security Hacks To Protect Your Personal Information

Are you concerned about your online security? With more data breaches occurring daily, it’s crucial to protect yourself with these simple tips.

This infographic is a comprehensive look at how you can reduce your online visibility to protect your privacy, but still be seen by your family and friends. From browsing the internet to safety on social media platforms, you don’t need to be a technical genius to lessen your online risk.

For example, you can go into the incognito mode to disable your browser’s tracking tools. Plus, browser settings allow you to block external apps. Tighten your security levels on social media networks, like SnapChat, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, with a few clicks.

You don’t have to leave the grid to disappear from hackers and unscrupulous businesses who exploit you and your information for their gain without your knowledge. However, it’s critical to protect your data on each platform you use.

Unfortunately, these big corporations don’t always have our best interests at heart. As we’ve seen from the multiple data breaches, there are times that consumers aren’t told about the hack until it was too late. Repairing your credit and personal information after a data hack is scary. By locking down your data now, you’ll save yourself a bigger headache later.

Mascaras, As You’ve Never Seen Before

Anyone who buys makeup will have seen the same claims made by mascara brands over and over. What if those product features were mapped into a beautiful visualization instead?

That’s exactly Sonja Kuijpers from Studio Terp decided to do when she needed a new mascara (since, as we know, mascara should be tossed out every 3 months). She was faced with a common dilemma: how to choose a mascara, when every tube claims to be lengthening, curling, volumizing, thickening, and durable at the same time? The claims can’t all be true, so how to find the ideal choice?

This playful visualization maps out the key claims that each mascara makes, with a handy legend on the side to show what each eye symbol denotes. For example, a white reflective circle on the pupil shows that that mascara is good for sensitive eyes, while a ‘W’ means ‘waterproof’, and cartoonish eyelashes sticking straight out symbolize high volume.

Looking at this visualization shows a simple truth: makeup companies are not particularly creative with their mascara claims, which explains why consumers sometimes struggle to tell different products apart. Of the 390 mascaras analyzed by Sonja, 304 claimed to add volume, of which 12 claimed to be ‘ultra’ and 10 claimed to be ‘extreme’. Ultimately, if every brand makes the same claims, they mean nothing- so it’s best to go by recommendations and reviews and ignore the marketing hype.

What Your Handwriting Reveals About You

Next time you write down something the old fashioned way with pen and paper, you may want to be careful who sees it. Some analysts believe they can get information about your personality traits and current mind state just by looking at your handwriting.Although controversial, there is an actual science that studies the way we write, called graphology. Supporters believe they can gather information about more than 5000 human personality traits! Basic analysis of handwriting is not limited to graphologists, however. 70% of the time, an untrained eye will be able to recognize the writer’s gender.

The main characteristics that are analyzed are letter details, line spacing, and style. If you like to put a circle above the letter “i,” you may be more of a free spirit that likes individuality. A correlation is also noted between large letters and your outgoing personality. Having connected letters speak highly of your judgement ability and logic.

It’s probably too late to try and change your handwriting, but this information may come in handy next time you leave a signature somewhere.  You  might even find out interesting tidbits about personality, like of these top CEOs. Or you might want to consider your landlord already knows you’re shy and introverted from that check you signed last week.

Why Too Much Sitting Can Kill You

People evolved from living a mainly outdoor life to an indoor one. Whether it’s due to capitalism, or the digital age, this has gotten even more egregious.

There’s even a term for it now – sitting disease, and it influences our lives and health. You’ll probably find it hard to believe, but the average American spends 22 out of 24 hours being inactive. Of course, we may have different definitions of inactivity, but sitting at work, watching TV, sitting in your car, or at meals adds up to the infamous 22 hours of inactivity.

According to Martha Grogan, a cardiologist, people who sit all day increase their risk of a heart attack similar to that of a smoker. Even scarier is that 20% of deaths of people over 35 years old could be attributed to lack of activity. While 70% of full-time workers hate sitting all day, many aren’t sure what to do about it.

Studies have also shown that working on your feet would increase your productivity by 10%.   Standing desks have become an ergonomic way to adjust posture at work.  Why not give it a go? You have nothing to lose, and you can reduce the risk of cancer, cardiovascular decay, and death. Sitting isn’t one of them, but you should check out top ten death causes in the US!

The Bizarre Ways 9 Iconic Creators Found Inspiration

The ways people search for their ideas can be both odd and dangerous. From laying down to headstands, find out how these 9 creators found inspiration in unique ways.

While many of the great creative minds find a muse, travel to new surroundings, listen to complex music, or have a few stiff drinks to generate ideas, Japanese inventor Nakamatsu Yoshiro nearly drowns himself as he swims for ideas.

Yoshiro dives into a pool of water and remains underwater until he comes up with his next invention. With a $50 million net worth and more than 4,000 patents, the method must be working while also improving his lung capacity.

Coffee inspires many people to wake up in the morning, but the 50 cups a day that writer Honore de Balzac drank are way out of the ordinary. There is some controversy whether the famed novelist and playwright actually drank 50 cups or made a dozen highly-concentrate brews that gave him cerebral power.

The Zen master Steve Jobs, who basically created the modern world, plunged his feet in the toilets of the company restrooms to relieve stress and get his mind working. This doesn’t surprise me, as he was known to have hygiene issues and walked around barefoot.

Considering all of the odd ways that our world’s greatest minds find creative inspiration, you might assume they were a bit touched, and that is what created their awe-inspiring work. So, stand on your head, sleep with a key in your hand, take baths with apple cores, wear different hats while you work, and just be altogether weird to find inspiration.

What If CPR Was The Difference Between Life And Death For Your Dog?

Most of us receive human CPR training, at some point in our lives, whether through school or at work. But did you know that dogs need CPR also?


The cost of owning a pet can be high, as any dog owner knows. But this life-saving move doesn’t require any expensive equipment or special instructions. CPR is a technique that should be used if your dog experiences a medical emergency and their breathing or heart rate stops. Performing CPR helps keep blood flowing to their vital organs.

The steps are not dissimilar to what you would do in human CPR. You move the dog to their side, perform chest compressions at a rate of 100-120 a minute, and breathe into their nose at regular intervals. Of course, an infographic is not a substitute for proper medical training or the advice of a veterinarian, but now you have a head start when it comes to saving doggie lives.

The best part is that this advice doesn’t just apply to your pet—it could help save any dog in need. Only 58% of pet owners are “somewhat likely” to perform CPR on a dog, so by using your newfound knowledge, you could save a beloved pet’s life.

6 Tips For Planning A Destination Wedding

Whether you’re dreaming about Aruba or California’s Napa wine country, planning a destination wedding of your dreams doesn’t need to be difficult. With these 6 tips, you’ll be on your way to marital bliss in no time.

More soon-to-be-married couples are forgoing the traditional local wedding and extended honeymoon. Instead, they’re choosing both exotic and stateside locations that offer natural beauty to an already elegant day. Once you’ve decided to head out of state (or out of the country), then you should act quickly to ensure that you get the people you love there and have everything you need.

Start by finding your destination wedding location. Make sure that accommodations are available for the number of people you expect. Once you’ve found the perfect spot to say I Do, then find clean, comfortable, yet fairly-priced hotels for your guests. You want to make this a dream vacation for them as well, so read reviews and talk with a travel agent to find out where you should and shouldn’t stay. Once you have these critical pieces of info on hand, then tell your guests. You need to give them as much time as possible to make all the arrangements.

When it comes to making floral, music, and catering arrangments, then it’s always best to meet your vendors in person. If this isn’t possible, then often areas have wedding planners available to help you make these decisions from afar. Although many brides choose to dress style that compliments the location, the bottom line is that it’s your dream so do what you want.

One last note—pack your wedding dress in your carry-on bag. You’ll save yourself peace of mind and avoid a wedding disaster. Destination weddings are memorable experiences and magical times.

How To Recognize The Signs Of A Toxic Work Environment

With 58% of employees trusting a stranger more than their workplace manager, toxic work environments hurt businesses and their staff.

Stories of lousy work conditions abound on employer review sites and across social media. Chances are you’ve worked in a position where you felt undervalued. Combat a negative workplace by determining what elements contribute to the bad vibes, then take action.

From a lack of a proper break room to sitting too long behind a desk, employees who don’t take a break become less efficient and experience health problems.   Standing desks may be one part of the solution.  Research suggests that chats by the water cooler increase productivity up to 15% while standing increases efficiency by 10%. The same goes for vacations. Regularly scheduled time away boosts morale.

 76% of millennials will quit if they feel under-appreciated. If your employer fails to incentivize their employees properly, then employee turnover is imminent. That under appreciation also stems from a lack of training. 40% of workers who don’t receive proper instruction quit within their first year. Did you know that gossip is considered a form of workplace violence? If left unchecked, it can quickly turn a workplace into a cesspool.

With more than 84,000 workplace discrimination charges filed in 2017, your company can’t afford to put office ethics on the backburner. Toxic work environments aren’t healthy for employees or the companies who employ them. Instill a sense of happiness in your office and see productivity levels soar.

7 Tips For Improving Your Body Language At Work

Body language affects those around us more than the words we use. What message do your posture and facial expressions convey to your co-workers?

People are often surprised to hear that only 7% of our words affect workplace communication. Instead, your body language influences how your message is perceived. Ensure that you’re putting forth the right message with these tips.

Start by sitting up in your chair and avoid slouching which makes you look unengaged. Slouching is a habit that many of us do without noticing. Improving your posture at work helps you appear confident.

Next, think about how you have a conversation with others. Are you invading their personal space? Try taking a step back and avoiding overly personal body contact. While crossing your arms while working alone equals a 30% increase in productivity, doing so when talking to a co-worker implies distance or anger. Nervous body language, like cracking your knuckles, puts others on edge and negatively impacts your credibility.

Other types of negative body language include rolling your eyes or failing to make eye contact during a conversation. Both demonstrate a lack of professionalism. Instead, mirror your co-worker’s positive nonverbal movements by adjusting your pace and volume of speech to match their tone.

Body language affects everyone you work with, so it’s essential to determine if you’re sending the right message to managers and team members. By being aware of your body language and taking steps to correct bad habits, you’ll see an increase in positive engagement and may even get that promotion you’ve been eyeing.

Office Dress Codes Through The Years

Vintage fashion has long been popular on sites such as Tumblr and Instagram; people enjoy looking at pretty dresses in sepia-tinted photographs. But have you ever wondered about the interplay between fashion and business and how dress codes have changed since the 1950s?


Nowadays, office dress codes, unlike dress codes for formal occasions, aren’t usually too hard to decode. Looking back over the decades, though, you can see a significant evolution in both men’s and women’s business attire.



In the 1950s, for example, men tended to wear grey flannel suits with high-waisted pants, striped ties, cufflinks, and heavy oxfords, while women (only 34% of whom were in the workforce) wore slim-fitting skirt suits as popularized by Chanel, with cropped jackets and contrast outlines. It’s evident that workwear has become much less formal in the decades since, with jeans and hoodies becoming increasingly acceptable at any offices.

While many fashion retrospective focus on the most unique trends of each decade, this infographic is particularly interesting because it focuses on professional, acceptable office dress codes. As a result, the prevailing trends of each decade are gently reflected in more subtle touches: for example, 60s mini skirts become knee-length shift dresses, and 70s bell-bottoms become wider pant legs for men’s suits. A good lesson, then, in how you can tone any bold trend down and make it office-friendly.

The Top 22 Winning States In Sports

It’s Sunday, you’re watching the game, and maybe even having some NFL cocktails. Next thing you know, you’re arguing about which state has the best sports history. Here is some information that may come in handy next time you have to defend your state’s legacy.

With a rich baseball history, the Empire State tops the list with a total of 35 MLB championships, which includes some victories by the Yankees and the former New York Giants. All of the state’s titles add up to a whopping total of 52 in the four major sports.

After giving us many years of a great rivalry and exchanging of NBA titles, the Celtics and Lakers have vaulted their home states of Massachusetts and California in the top three. They both have successful baseball teams in the Red Sox and Dodgers, which have earned them some extra points.

On the other side of the spectrum, states like Arizona, North Carolina, and Georgia are struggling to keep up. They round out the list with one championship each. Rough.

If your state didn’t make the cut, then either you don’t have any local professional sports teams or are trailing in the championships. Unfortunately, this can be a little upsetting. On the other hand, it gives you the freedom to hop on a winning team’s bandwagon! Woo-hoo!

Dive Inside the Brain of a CEO

Every business is different- that much is clear to any employee. But there are some surprising traits that many CEOs share.

Some claim there’s a key distinction between bosses and leaders. Yet regardless of a CEO’s leadership style, this infographic shows that there are some statistical similarities between most heads of major companies.

Unsurprisingly, CEO salaries grow with the number of years’ experience they have- starting with an un-shabby average $120,000 for those with less than 5 years on the job, to $229,000 for those with over twenty years clocked in. On top of that, CEOs can also earn hefty bonuses, profit shares, and commissions, depending on their industry.

The graphic then turns to Fortune 500 CEOs, that most rarefied class of corporate leaders. Depressingly, only 4.8% (no, that’s not a typo) of Fortune 500 CEOs are women, demonstrating the glass ceiling in full force- although, interestingly, the number grows to 8% if you look at Fortune 100 CEOs. 42.6% of the group have an MBA and 2/3 have a background in the same industry as the company they head. Interestingly, geographic distribution across the United States is uneven as well: 40% of Fortune 500 CEOs come from either California, Illinois, Texas, or New York.

While it’s hard to determine causation based on the correlations above, it’s interesting to see what backgrounds the CEOs of major companies share, particularly when it comes to choosing a major or a career path.

Route Optimization Drastically Reduces Costs Across Industries

The cost-saving benefits of route optimization touch nearly every business segment from home services to E-commerce.

Using sophisticated software, route optimization delivers superior analytics and algorithms with speed and accuracy that supersedes what even the brightest human minds can accomplish.

Through the route optimization process, business industries like retail, FMGC (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods), and 3PL (Third-Party Logistics) cut costs and labor needs by identifying the best routes for delivering products to warehouse for local distribution and direct delivery to homes.

Route optimization can even set delivery windows for the home services industry. In addition, for 3PL companies and other businesses that provide logistic services, route optimization can assist with sorting shipments through automated processes that reduce the need for labor and save a lot of time and headache. We are talking turn-for-turn efficiency, so that nothing is lost in time.

By finding the most effective routes regardless of distance or number of delivery stops, companies save on fuel costs and provide high levels of efficiency that improves overall customer service and satisfaction.

Making customers happy and cutting costs is a dream for any business, and it is easy to do when a business finds a great route optimization service provider.

50 Unbelievable Facts About Chinese New Year

The holiday season feels already like a distant memory, but we’re not done yet. The Chinese New Year falls on February 16, 2018 this year, ending all winter holidays, so get ready to party!

Today’s infographic showcases 50 little-known facts about the Chinese New Year. Did you know that, even though it changes every year, the first day of the New Year always falls between January 21 and February 21?

Another cool thing? The holiday lasts longer than western New Year celebrations, which typically only last a night. The Chinese counterpart goes on for 15 days, and ends with the well-known lantern festival that has become the main icon of the festivities.

So why exactly do the Chinese celebrate the new year at a different time than the rest of the world? It all comes down to calendars. Western society measures time with the solar calendar, while China (and other Asian countries) still use the Lunar Calendar in combination with the solar one.

So are you planning on celebrating this year? Get ready by paying all your debts and staying away from the shower: Old debts are a bad omen for the new year and washing your hair also washes away the good luck of the new year.   It’s also traditional to greet your friends, colleagues and neighbors with lucky new years blessings.  Now grab your lantern and Happy New Year!

5 Careers That Pay The Most In The World

While a high salary might not be the key to overall employment happiness, it sure helps reduce anxiety when the bills come.

How important is salary? Very important. When looking for a job, 67 percent of employment seekers say that pay is the most important factor, according to Glassdoor. Salary even beat out trust and work place culture to grab the top spot.

If you are one of those people looking to get paid well, a career in medicine or technology is your best bet.

These jobs are in the most demand and require a great deal of education, going beyond a bachelor’s degree, which pushes the average pay scale to six figures.

The top jobs on the list are likely to provide high pay for many years. The first reason is that healthcare is needed as a large population of baby boomers reach retirement age. Second, our world revolves around technology and business efficiency is dependent on it.

Finally, jobs like judges snf executives are unlikely to be automated because they require human empathy, analysis, sound communication, and judgment. These soft skills along with technical expertise ensure their future and increase their necessity.

Because of the required education to nab one of the top spots, it’s unlikely you can make a mid-career switch with ease, but it might be worthwhile in the end. And if you’re young, what’s stopping you? Work hard and stay focused and you’ll be on your way to the top of the pay scale.

Strange And Wonderful Christmas Holiday Traditions

IT’S THE MOOOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR! Heat up some hot cocoa and start your engines folks, ‘cause the holiday season is here. If you’re looking to spice up your holiday traditions, then look no further than this infographic.

The first step to getting ~festive~ is decorating. At my house, we normally put up the Christmas tree and ornaments the weekend after Thanksgiving. Ukrainians just stretch some artificial spider webs onto their trees and call it a day. If you ask me, this is a great alternative to flimsy homemade ornaments -fancy Christmas bulbs that shatter way too easily and stems that conveniently disappear every year. Stop by the clearance rack at your local holiday store and pick up some leftover spider web from Halloween!

Italy and Norway also seem a little confused on whether it’s Christmas or Halloween, at least by America’s standards. The Italian alternative to Santa Claus is a witch that rides in on a broomstick with presents, and in contrast, children from Norway hide their brooms and don’t do chores on Christmas Eve to prevent theft by evil witches and spirits.

While most Americans have ham or roast beast (ala The Grinch) for Christmas dinner, the rest of the world has other ideas. In South Africa, caterpillars can kiss their dreams of becoming butterflies goodbye.  And the Japanese know how to avoid the stress of cooking by ordering KFC.

And while my siblings and I begged to open a gift before Christmas morning, in Germany, you just have to be the lucky kid that finds the pickle in the tree.

Rest assured, we all have our holiday traditions, and no tradition is superior to the next. If you don’t have any family or friend traditions, then consider starting your own traditions – globally inspired.

Which Wedding Dress Should You Wear For Your Big Day?

Are you confused by the different styles of wedding dresses? Find out how the styles differ and how to pick the best wedding dress for your big day.

A wedding dress is one of the personal items a woman can choose for her special day. However, with the vast selections of styles, trims, and even colors, choosing only one dream dress is difficult. While it’s best to pick a style that you feel most comfortable wearing, there are other things to consider as well. If you’re having a beach wedding, then perhaps you’d prefer a lightweight material. Whereas if your wedding is formal, then you’ll want more bling.

For formal weddings, the traditional ballgown wedding dress continues to be a favorite. The ball gown style is fitted to the waist with a full skirt and resembles dresses from fairytales. The A-line style is less dramatic than the ball gown style. It features a fitted bodice, then flairs out. The Empire wedding dress is another popular favorite. This style features a fitted bodice with a raised waistline and loose skirt.

If you’re thinking about a beach wedding, then you’ll love the lightweight and romantic sheath wedding dress. This gown is form-fitting with a long and narrow appearance. Both the mermaid and the trumpet styles are popular for all types of weddings. While both are fitted through the body, the mermaid dramatically flairs out below the knee, for a less pronounced flair, then try on the trumpet wedding gown.

Regardless of which wedding dress you pick, make sure that you’re comfortable. Ultimately, your wedding gown should reflect your personality, the style of event, and what looks best with your body shape. Whether you’re planning a lovely destination wedding or an upscale event, choose the dress you love and don’t worry about anything else.
