481: How Can We Cut Costs Without Bleeding
One way to cut the cost of living is to cut the amount of electricity we use. A brick, the box that's attached to a power cord, consumes electricity even when the laptop, cell phone or other piece of electronics isn't plugged into it. Televisions and cable boxes use power even when they are turned off and a big screen TV can use as much power as a
482: How Can We Put More Heal In Health
When it comes to plant-based foods, think black. Black foods are especially healthy. Black rice is high in anthocyanin, which fights cardiovascular disease. Black beans are rich in terpenoids, which stop the growth of certain cancers. Black tea is rich in flavonoids, which protect against neurological disease; and blackberries are rich in polypheno
483: How Do They Make Big Business Bigger
While other companies curtail advertising spending because of the economic slowdown, Anheuser-Busch has initiated a $50 million campaign to promote its most popular brand - Bud Light. Ads featuring humorous situations tell consumers all beers aren't the same - that Bud Light has taste but won't fill them up. The new ads have the tag line "Bud Light
484: How Embarrassing Was It
Embarrassment comes in all shapes and sizes. For example, police forces across the country use unmarked cars in undercover work. The Dallas police recently used a 2004 Infinity they'd seized in a drug raid. They used the car for 2 months before discovering $400,000 worth of cocaine hidden in hydraulically controlled compartments of the car. Obvious
485: How to Get Free Food by Effectively Using the Halftime Exit Strategy
The simple truth is I'm not hung up on me. I don't sit around analyzing myself and what my colleagues or neighbors are thinking or not thinking.
For that reason and several others, some people think I am strange, weird and enlightened. Sometimes all three.
It's all rather simple because I always know what I'm thinking. And it's also partly
486: How Your Collective Thinking is Destroying Your Mind Career Personal Life and Hippocampus
You know who you are. You've turned over your locus of self control for the collective good. You've given up your mind and soul for others. You have adopted the standards and norms that are acceptable to many people some of the time. You have in fact, dumbed down.
Why do you feel like you've entered the twilight zone of arrested developme
487: In 2008 Should Economy Be Spelled Econome
Eighty percent of Americans are feeling financially stressed by the economy. This was one of the findings of the American Psychology Association survey conducted April-September 2008. Approximately half the 7,000 respondents worried most about providing for their families and the other half worried most about job security, but women worried more th
488: Intelligent Design and Natural Intelligence Are Two Peas in the Same Old Pod
"That lady Madalyn O'Hair got murdered because she took prayer out of schools," said the man on the news. I once interviewed Mad Madalyn. I also knew she got murdered because she was cheap and exploited her employees at the Atheist Center in Austin, Texas, not because of prayer in schools.
Mad Madalyn hired and exploited one too many rehabb
489: Is 21st Century Communication Different
When a Swarthmore College student turned a guided tour of the Web into a detailed journal of his life, blog communication was born. That was in 1994. By 2007 that one blog had grown into 106 million blogs. Seventy-six percent of them document personal experiences to share with others. The 15 most popular words used in communicating those experienc
490: Is Beauty Only Skin Deep
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder - and when I read women's magazines, I behold beauty product ads on almost every other page. The creams, lotions and oils have various money-back guarantees - some are celebrity endorsed, some are supposedly newly revealed, European secrets and some are meant to be scientific breakthroughs. Although all
491: Is Communication Better Today
In 1955 when researchers counted the punctuation in period texts they found a change in our way of communicating. They discovered there had been a surprising drop in semicolon usage between the 18th and 19th centuries. The drop from 68.1 semicolons per one thousand words to 17.7 was attributed to technology. What was the new technology in the 1850'
492: Is Food For Thought Fulfilling
U.S. sales of organic foods and beverages increased from $1 billion in 1990 to $20 billion in 2007. People are willing to pay more for organic products because they think they're healthier. Researchers at Copenhagen University disagree. In a study that included apples, carrots, kale, peas and potatoes, the researchers found organic produce doesn't
493: Is It A Matter Of Taste
The four tastes humans are most familiar with are sweet, sour, salty and bitter. In 1908 a Japanese chemistry professor discovered a fifth - savory. Now a behavioral geneticist has discovered that mice have receptors that detect calcium. Because mice and humans have many genes in common, it's likely calcium is a sixth taste. Supposedly calcium is w
494: Is It A Sign Of The Economy
Because of the faltering economy more Americans are eating Spam. Although this has contributed to a 14% profit increase for the Hormel Company, Spam has been popular in Hawaii since being introduced there during WWII and today more is sold there per capita than anywhere else in the U.S. In fact, Hawaiian cookbook author Muriel Muira says Spam is Ha
495: Is It A Sign Of Things To Come
In 1953 Dick and Mac McDonald used golden arches for a sign. They put an arch on both sides of their first, walk-up hamburger stand in Oak Brook, Illinois. When viewed from an angle, the two arches looked like the letter "M". Although McDonald's stopped putting golden arches on most of their restaurants in the 1960's, the marketing of healthy happy
