One very popular system for improving organization in the home is that of “Messies Anonymous,” founded by Sandra Felton. Felton was once a disorganized “Messie.” She rated her friends on a scale of 1 to 10 according to how neat their homes were, then grilled the 9’s to find their tips. (She found that the 10’s were so extreme they had traded off some of the joy of living for the sake of a clean home!...
Tip #1: Be Alert For Opportunities All Day Long Focus on becoming stronger because there are myriad opportunities throughout the day to strengthen your body. As simple an effort as walking up the stairs to the third floor, rather than taking an elevator, will eventually produce a noticeable effect. Yes, weights lifting, exercise machines and structured sessions are powerful – but so are simple activities carried out every day. Tip #2: Rest Is Just As Important As Exercise Make certain you value and allow rest and recovery time....
When Sarah Flanigan, a reader of Nick’s comics, contacted him, he knew she had something important to say. Sarah has been living with depression since age 10, and an anxiety disorder since she was 16. She told Nick about dealing with two mental illnesses at once and how it’s impacted her life, but also what it actually feels like to live with it. Nick knew that Sarah’s description of her inner wars with depression and anxiety painted an accurate picture of what many people without these illnesses often don’t understand....
One way or another? There was a moment in time when the story of motoring could have headed in a totally different direction. Much of the early motoring buzz was around the potential of electric cars; in the US alone, 30,000 such vehicles were on the roads by 1900.

Of course, the biggest benefit of braising is that it can make your food infinitely more delicious than sauteing or simmering alone could ever do. The reasoning for this flavor enhancement is simple science. By braising, you allow the food to brown first, creating the delicious, deep flavors caused by the Maillard reaction. By simmering in a liquid (whether added to the pan or created during the initial searing), the food then takes on the depth and complexity of whatever liquid is used....
It was all me. When you’re trying to figure out what will work best in boosting your productivity, you rarely know what will work for you at first. You may be a paper person, but using it just isn’t practical to track all you’ve got going. Even a paper prophet like Patrick Rhone (of Minimal Mac fame) spends time in the digital world in order to keep on track. And while you may be excited about what your devices can do to make you a more productive person, there’s a chance that when it comes to actually being productive that a pen and paper are best suited for you....

Antibiotics have saved countless lives globally. There is no doubt that a world without them would be filled with more outbreaks and untreatable medical conditions. Because of this, the health and farming industry has started to use antibiotics extensively on animals. As a result, some forms of bacteria has grown resistant to common antibiotics.

It describes a habit I had fallen into out of sheer necessity when I was a corporate VP in operations, finding that appointments could easily and completely dominate my entire day if I allowed them to. My calendar was a parade of interviews, employee counseling, staff meetings, vendor appointments, and customer meet-and-greets, all those same scheduling challenges you probably have too, with people wanting or needing their piece of you....
Let’s start with the ‘why’ Why should you use a tracking app? Agreed, there are benefits as well as doubts about the use of such apps. Some of the answers that we got after going through websites such as Cellphonetracker.net, quora.com, etc., ranged from: ‘Why not? It allows people to keep an eye on everybody.’, over: ‘Not sure – isn’t it kind of invasive.’, to: ‘It makes sense because people might forget to call or text their whereabouts....
Technology is amazing because it allows us to keep up with people we would have otherwise lost track of. However, for the same reason, we interact with people very differently than we used to. In the past, we wouldn’t connect to so many people In the past, we interacted with people we could see all the time – our real friends, our family members, and certainly our coworkers. If we wanted to see someone outside of those groups, we had to call them to hear their voice, or physically meet up with them somewhere....
Some songs are linked with being higher in empathy and empathetic personality types, while others have indicated a more logical mental template. Although psychologists have long suspected a link between the kind of music that we enjoy and choose to surround ourselves with, and our personality traits, new research has expanded upon this; it has even identified certain branches of music as being more closely associated with particular “brain types”....
Do you hanker to hike the Appalachian Trail? Care to climb Kilimanjaro? Dream of daunting feats of physical fortitude? The wife of a wilderness junkie would like to hear why. There is a point when most men, no matter how derring do their attitude, might decide that the prospect of combining saltwater and blisters in sensitive spots is a discomfort too far. And then there’s my husband. Now I’m not saying he has acquired any of the aforementioned salt-stung-sore-behind symptoms – yet....
Illustrator Toby Allen wishes to change that. From anxiety to bipolar disorder, Allen puts a face to these illnesses and shows the world just how tangible—and haunting—they can be. Allen’s “Real Monsters” series is a collection of illustrations that anthropomorphize mental illnesses like depression, social anxiety disorder, and schizophrenia. He hopes his art will raise awareness to those who are unfamiliar with mental illness, and offer some relief and encouragement to those who are suffering....

How Strict Parenting Can Breed Innate Liars A recently survey conducted by Victoria Talwar has sought to shed further light on the concept of lying, while its findings suggest that strict parenting tends to result in particularly deceptive and duplicitous offspring. The study was conducted at two West African schools, one with relaxed rules and the other with notoriously harsh disciplinary regimes. As part of the process, the children were asked to guess what object was making a particular noise without looking at it....
