It is unfortunate that people don’t know as much as they should about intellectual property rights. One day recently I briefly checked in to Twitter to see a discussion on the matter — a discussion that was propagating misinformed ideas. You might see copyright as a topic that’s only relevant to artists and engineers, but the truth is that this isn’t called the information age for nothing and intellectual property laws affect everybody....

Every relationship is unique, and there are many reasons why cutting ties may be the kindest solution for all parties. Maybe you discovered as time went on that your values and dreams did not align. At first you may have hoped that you could overcome your differences, but in the end they drove you apart. Sometimes, love just isn’t enough and you come to the sad conclusion that it’s time to part ways....

There are different types of friends, however, and it often takes a while to determine whether the person you enjoy spending time with is a true friend or not. Sure, it’s great to get to know new people, and you might really enjoy hanging out with a particular group on weekends, but how do you feel when you’re around them? Do they elevate your spirits, or put you down? Would the person you go clubbing with on Friday nights come and visit you if you were really sick?...

Here’s what happened. We looked across the gym and saw someone performing lateral raises with dumbbells while standing on a Bosu ball. (This is an exercise that focuses on smaller muscles in the shoulder and doesn’t do much for the rest of the body.) My coach watched for a moment and then said, “Imagine how good you have to be for that exercise to be the thing that gets you to the next level....

According to a recent study, people who wore expensive clothes from recognizable brands tended to be more confident. The researchers also found a correlation between smart dressers and higher levels of performance. Of course, it was not the clothes themselves that resulted in a job well done. But the clothes on your back have a significant placebo effect that is hard to ignore. In the study, researchers told participants that they were using a Nike golf putter when swinging their club....

Change Your Moisturizer The lightweight moisturizer you use in summertime isn’t going to cut it during the winter. To fend off cold damage to your skin in winter, opt for creams that have a heavier oil content, as the oils will create a protective layer on the skin’s surface. Creams rich in avocado or sweet almond oil are ideal for your face, but try to avoid using cocoa or shea butter on facial skin, as it can clog pores....

Learning how to read and interpret body language may be one of the most important things you can learn to become a better communicator. According to Psychology Today, there have been two studies found to claim that 55% of communication is body language, 38% is tone of voice, and only 7% is the actual words spoken. What we say may not nearly matter as how we use our body language to present ourselves....

1. Thank you for being completely honest with me – even when I don’t want to hear it. It’s not easy to hear the truth when you don’t want to hear it. There’s something different about hearing the truth from your best friend that makes it a little more bearable. Your best friend knows that always being honest with you will make you trust them, and that’s what friendship is about....

Just like a sexy person, a great resume should be confident, unbloated, humble and open. In terms of resumes, that means filled with accomplishments, well summarized, not self-absorbed and loaded with critical key words. Keep your resume clean by proofreading for grammar and spelling errors. Avoid using unprofessional email addresses, objectives, unrelated information and excessive abbreviations. Of course, one critical thing to remember is that all rules are meant to be broken, even on a great resume....

Exercise improves energy, decreases joint pain, and helps you sleep better. It improves circulation, which can help prevent headaches, constipation, varicose veins, and hemorrhoids (which we all want to avoid during pregnancy!). It also helps strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, increase your flexibility, and improve your overall endurance, which will help you during the labor and delivery process. By maintaining a regular fitness program during pregnancy, you are less likely to gain excess weight, which will help both the health of you and your baby and make it easier to lose the weight after giving birth....
