But with so many pipes in your house, it can be difficult to detect when there is a leak in your home....

Although it has divided many experts on the value of the test, MBTI has made its way in to fortune 500 companies, government agencies and to universities. Addition to this popularity, many are being registered as a MBTI practitioner to administrate the assessment where the MBTI industry became an imposing multi million dollar business. Setting aside the debated issue, the test as mentioned produces 16 types. Out of all the 16 types, only one makes up less than two percent of the world, the INFJ: Introversion (I), Intuition (N), Feeling (F), Judging (J)....

Which Breast I am lucky to be a breastfeeding mom, but the cluster-feeding induced sleep deprivation had me quickly confused as to which breast I’d last used. I was even too tired to use a safety pin in my bra on the last side I’d used, a trick recommended by my mother. In my first few days of motherhood I tried out a variety of breastfeeding tracker apps, and I like this one the most....

It’s so important for people to understand the importance of CPR and defibrillators, as there are approximately 30,000 Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrests per year in the UK, and they can affect people of any age, at any time. The current rate of initial bystander CPR in England is reported to be around 43%, which means over half the UK population would be unsure what to do if someone suffered SCA in front of them....

Over time, this stress causes the muscles to get weak and strained, leading to aches and chronic pain as well as a tendency towards sprain and injury [1]. So here are a few points on the ‘right’ posture to have when doing myriad things – and how avoiding posture mistakes helps stave off any muscle pains, pulls or sprains [2]....

But ladies, its time for us to be real. How many of us have written off a guy because of some foible (he over-references Star Wars) or a bad habit (like leaving the toilet seat up), when we didn’t even get a chance to see his quality? Little did you know that guy you dumped last week takes his grandma out for breakfast every Sunday, he tutors high-school geometry for free, and even does standup comedy on the weekends....

A gap year after high school isn’t uncommon. For a lot of us the threat of disappointing our parents or possibly losing funding for college is scarier than making the jump into a college when all we want is to go out on our own for awhile before falling in line for another four or more years. Luckily there is a middle ground that will be sure to quench some of your thirst for wanderlust....

“I’m no stock broker or tech startup genius,” you might say. “I wouldn’t know where to begin!” Well, the first place to begin is to stop making excuses. 1. “It’s too late to get started!” Is it? People used to say the same thing about going to school, but you are likely to see teenagers going to college just as much as you are senior citizens these days. The same is true when it comes to achieving your financial goals....

Her excitement wasn’t due to his distress. It was because she knew it meant that he finally viewed her as his “person” and felt safe with her. She knew that allowing him to stay would also show him it was safe to be in the nursery and give them both a chance to practice the truth that she would always come back. Child separation anxiety, depending on the cause, can be troubling....

1. No Exams for The First 3 Years of School The theory about why Japanese students are not required to take exams until after fourth grade is that the Japanese value excellent manners. According to the Japanese culture, it’s more important to teach proper etiquette to young students than to focus the classroom energies on cramming for upcoming standardized tests. The underlying belief is that children’s character must be developed. Therefore, it’s best to avoid judgement students’ learning progress....

One thing that I think should become common knowledge is how ‘self-help’ can work in different ways for different people. No one thing works the same for everybody, so you must get used to taking in a lot of information and filtering what would actually benefit your life. That said, The Positivity Blog has written about 5 things you may not know about self-improvement; mostly focused around the idea that it isn’t easy and won’t fix anything quickly....

1. Start Your Own Business Even while keeping the realities of starting your own business in mind, it’s hard to deny that it does allow you some extra freedom compared to a traditional career trajectory. There’s freedom to work with something you don’t have the experience to get a job doing. And the freedom to fail miserably again and again, without worrying about getting fired. You only have to worry about failing some more until you find what works....

For all its humble roots in nature, we tend not to think of most modern technology as “natural”. Here are five ways that technology is bringing us closer to nature, and one way it might drive us away from it forever. 1. Drinking Poop Water with Portable Water Purification Devices Portable water filters now allow the avid outdoorsman/woman to go further and longer than they ever have before, freeing them from the weight of water as cargo or the unnecessary expense of energy boiling water....

Yes, kids today may not think that playing a make-believe war with sticks used for guns is actually an entertaining way to spend their free time. Yet, lamenting about their tainted childhood is not fair – it is just different. And those claiming that today’s technologies are bad simply don’t understand that it is people who make the wrong use of these conveniences. If you are a parent, you are probably worried about your child being plugged into the net on a daily basis....

We have been dealing with a lot of change as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Disruption and uncertainty are very much part of our lives and it is these two things that are most likely to create fear and distress in our lives. How we express and manage these feelings influences how resilient and how effective we are at navigating our way through all this disruption and uncertainty. Choosing anger as a way to release all your pain and fear is not a wise option and definitely not a sustainable and healthy way to live life....

Spending quality time with our children is extremely important for their development and happiness. I have interviewed thousands of children around the world and they told me that time spent with them doesn’t need to be elaborate or long, but it must be “quality”. We must find ways then to slow down and slip in some memorable time that will let our children know that we love and care for them....

Do people ask you those questions all the time? If the answer is yes, please keep reading, because I am going to change your life. From experience, I have been asked those questions a lot. I was a very shy guy in the past, as I have no idea how to open up to people. Talking to strangers was like seeing Jesus and Allah at the same time—I was always at a loss of words....

When it comes to their staff, managers and other employers only want the best employees working for them. As an employee, you represent the company. As an independent contractor, business owner, or freelancer, you represent your own brand. How you come across is just as important as the quality of your work. Sounding unprofessional reflects poorly on you, on your brand, and on your company. This, in turn, adversely affects your reputation....
