BULLS: China is going to be a world power, surpassing the US, and one with the power to cleanly vault over the challenges posed by a modernizing economy — with a management capability and store of cash reserves to weather a storm.

As a Manhattan-based IT consultant for Fortune 500 firms, 39-year-old Lizette Stephens was constantly on video conference calls with CTOs from around the world. So were her chins. “I didn’t think I had a double chin—I never noticed anything when I looked in the mirror—but all of a sudden there they were,” she says.

Stephens spent hours practicing different angles on video chat and even more de-tagging her chins as photos popped up on Facebook. “I had to look at myself all day long,” she says. Читать дальше...

There's a hot new hybrid food going viral in NYC — the bagel doughnut, which has the consistency of a doughnut, but is stuffed with warm cream cheese.

Water behaves in some pretty bizarre ways 250 miles above Earth in microgravity.

Research showed in a recent study that if you're exposed to the cold virus and sleep more than seven hours, your chance of developing a cold is 17 percent. If you sleep just six hours, that increases to 22 percent. If you're working on just five hours of sleep, you have a 30 percent chance of ending up stuffed up. Any less than five hours and you might as well stock up on cold medicine right now.

The 8-hour workday is an outdated and ineffective approach to work. If you want to be as productive as possible, you need to let go of this relic and find a new approach.

The 8-hour workday was created during the industrial revolution as an effort to cut down on the number of hours of manual labor that workers were forced to endure on the factory floor.

There is nothing worse than being cold, and there is nothing better than being warmed by a hot drink.  A hot drink is winter’s most useful accessory.  You can be looking for something rich and decadent, or something jazzy and spiked.  

It can make a quiet, solitary Sunday morning feel suddenly instagram-able, or it can be the best excuse to gather friends together and cuddle (and then dance).

Either way, there is something inherently satisfying about sipping. Читать дальше...
