Most often people confuse interior designing with interior decorating, there's a fine thin line between both these professions. A person who's an interior decorator could be a designer too and vice versa, however, there's a difference we should know to understand who do we want to become. Before we learn about the differences in detail, let us understand the core personality characteristics that both these profession demands. So how would you be able to know if you're a good fit for either of these professions? or even if you would want to pursue it as a side-job and hobby. Know Yourself You need to carefully observe your preferences and ask yourself, can you change something very obsolete in an absolutely new piece of artwork? Do you like learning more about design, decor, art and such creative topics. If you feel like you have a knack for designing/decorating and you're interested too then that's really all you need to get started. Upgrading our knowledge in w...

At times, we all find ourselves wishing leadership development was more like computer programming. We'd love it if employees could retain every bit of information we went to great lengths to prepare and use it at the appropriate times. We'd like to see our training produce predictable, measurable outcomes every time-outcomes that would impact our organization's bottom line. We want every dollar we invest to produce four in return. Unfortunately, people have a tendency to be unpredictable. They forget things. They fail to show up to our training. They flat-out lose interest. We hear you! We asked our clients to share their biggest concerns about training and development. Here are the top issues keeping them up at night (and our advice for overcoming them.) "I have no way to measure the success of our training and development programs." It can be more difficult to show the direct impact of leadership development on a company's bottom line, but that doesn't m...

First things first - Managing all the donors efficiently can be quite a headache for charities of all sizes. Reason - Charities usually think that their customers are their beneficiaries, which is also true to some extent. The truth lies in the fact that for the purpose of fundraising, the customer is the person on the other end of the phone/letter and without them, no charity could survive. Choosing a system or software that's right for your charity isn't as simple as you think it is. Software for charities and churches cannot be a 'one size fits all' approach. Though the fundamentals maybe the same (e.g. event management, attendance management, fund management, etc.) but large and small organizations will have different considerations. Mentioned below are some of the different things that you should consider depending on the size of the charity as well as the needs that you expect the software to fulfill. For Large Charities and Churches Software Implementation May No...

Within cross-functional teams of people representing different departments, positions and even cultures, a leader's success often depends on his or her ability to gain the cooperation and support of others. Research by our colleagues has shown some influencing styles vary across cultures, but we wanted to know if gender differences might also play a role in using power and influence in the workplace. To answer this question, a study was conducted using a 360 degree feedback questionnaire to gather data on the influencing styles of 223 leaders (116 men and 107 women) across organizations and industries. While we found some significant differences, we also found some surprising similarities. Here's a summary of what we found and how your leaders can use them to maximize their influence. Differences Between Genders Of the four most effective influence tactics - reasoning, inspiring, consulting and collaborating - men and women use reasoning and collaborating to the same extent. Th...

The implementation of evidence-based leadership is iterative. It's too profound a shift to happen in one go. And it will never happen if we wait to thoroughly research our current state, detail a change management plan, save enough budget to resource it all, and delay until the time is just right and the planets have lined up. Starting at the top is the quickest and easiest way to get rolling on the journey of high performance, because employees follow what leaders do. It's too risky for them to do otherwise. Even if leaders say over and over again 'Start measuring what matters!', nothing will change if they aren't doing it themselves. Even when it starts from the top, the implementation of evidence-based practice across the organisation will follow iterations. It's not going to happen in one fell swoop. With each iteration, it gets easier and smoother. And changes stick better. So don't feel overwhelmed by the adoption of evidence-based leadership. Simply f...

There are two types of hemorrhoids, internal and external. External hemorrhoids typically appear as small tender lumps located around the rectum area. External hemorrhoids tend to be a lot more painful than internal stage one hemorrhoids. However, there are many ways to treat external hemorrhoids. Listed below are four natural treatments for external hemorrhoids. Witch Hazel Witch hazel is a natural astringent which comes from a plant called Hamamelis Virginiana. Witch hazel is a common ingredient found in many over the counter hemorrhoid treatments. It contains antiseptic, astringent and inflammatory properties which make it an excellent treatment for external hemorrhoids. When used on hemorrhoids, witch hazel will help to ease the pain, clean the area, reduce the swelling and stop the bleeding. It can be applied directly to the affected area using a cotton ball or a clean soft cloth. Witch hazel can be used several times daily to keep the swelling and irritation to a minimum. It is ...

Oral hygiene is the number one thing that everyone should be all about. You will notice that when you know your oral hygiene is on point, you will tend to exude some confidence as you go by. You are probably wondering how that confidence can come along. Have you ever been in a situation whereby you know your breath is horrible? Such are the moments that you will want to keep to yourself. Losing your tooth is not something that most of us would like to go through. Most often, you would rather go for a process that seeks to restore your tooth without actually losing it. Teeth specialists or rather dentists exist to make life easier for you. You need not go through the pain of having to live without one of your teeth. Root canal would do the trick for you. You may be wondering what root canal therapy is. This is simply a procedure done to a tooth in a situation where a nerve within the tooth has become infected. This will normally come along with so much pain and stress that it may affec...

Magnet Therapy is an age-old practice of many civilizations and was mentioned in the ancient writings of many cultures. It is now undergoing a popular revival; this is in large part due to the development of modern magnetic rare-earth minerals and is also due to the increasing use of magnet materials in the field of sports medicine. Magnetic Therapy has become a popular alternative treatment method for many conditions, especially in regards to relieving pain and encouraging the healing of injuries. Magnetic therapy is well accepted in Japan, China, India, Australia and Germany. There is growing interest from other countries including Great Britain, Holland, Canada and the United States. It is thought that magnetic jewelry works in two ways. The first is that the magnetism of the jewelry increases the conductivity of the blood, in particular by increasing the quantity of ions. The newly ionized blood then circulates throughout the body improving oxygenation to the cell tissues, contrib...

If one wanted travel to another country, there is a strong chance that they would need to have a passport. In addition to this, they may also find that they need to get a visa. This could be something that doesn't bother them, and they are then not going to have the need to think about whether the world should be this way. One might simply want to get everything sorted so that they can go to where they need to go. Part of Life There is a strong chance that this is something they have always had to do, and so there is going to be no reason for it to stand out. If they were to have moments when they think about how differently their life would be if they could just go wherever they wanted to go, it is not going to go any further. It could be the same as if one was to think about how different their life would be if they could fly or teleport to other places. This will be something that won't have a big effect on their life. Another Outlook On the other hand, this might be someth...

I am going to assume you live a busy life and it is difficult to find a chance to do anything not immediately necessary. It is unlikely this assumption is wrong since most adults are occupied with work, friends, and family, or other daily matters. If you are like most, it is hard for you to find time to do anything new, never mind exercise. What you may not know, however, is regularly working out is not just a beneficial activity: it is an essential one. Physical activity is widely neglected despite its importance, which regrettably comes at a steep cost. Don't make this mistake. Finding time to exercise can be difficult, but you need to be honest with yourself. Are you truly so occupied you can't squeeze in a few weekly workouts, or are you making excuses? Going for a workout is not the most enjoyable way to spend an hour of your precious free time, but it is also not as bad as it may seem. Rarely will you ever regret a workout, not to mention there is a surge of endorphins to...

According to the Journal of Dental Practice, February 2017, seeing the dentist twice a year is important for more than oral care. It can indicate the possible presence of Type 2 diabetes. Scientists at the University of Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul, and several other research institutions in Brazil compared 116 Type 2 diabetic dental participants with 134 nondiabetic dental participants. Oral problems were seen more often in the people who had a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis. The problems most often are seen were... pseudomembranous candidiasis, lichen planus, lingual varices, xerostomia (dry mouth), and inflamed implants. The researchers concluded oral lesions should be diagnosed as soon as possible in those with Type 2 diabetes for two reasons. Dental problems can lead to out-of-control blood sugar levels, and dental problems can allow microorganisms to enter and form infections. The researchers go on to recommend dental treatment should be carried out as soon as possible. Pseudomembra...

A lot of people start doubting or questioning themselves when a scouter approaches them whether modeling might actually work for them. We talk a little bit about the work of scouters and offer some tips on how to get scouted. Scouting performance equates directly to the industry performance Modeling is a diverse industry ranging from kid to senior talents. All different types of sizes, heights and looks are sought after. There isn't a fixed requirement (other than fashion or supermodel ranges) that a potential model needs to fit in most cases. The lack of fixed standard means scouters have to go both by experience and instinct in most cases. Tyra Banks, for example, was rejected by six agencies before she got her first job, and faced many challenges in her path. Imagine if a very beautiful person lacks the confidence and initial push; they might not even think about being a model. That is why scouters are ever so important! They identify a talent and give them encouragement to pur...

We delve into this phenomenon in this article and give some tips to being more photogenic, and this is also why modeling agencies tend to choose models regardless of whether they're "good-looking" or not. Being Photogenic Being photogenic means having a camera-friendly face. The camera has its downsides; it may not capture a model's thoughts, feelings, and personality. It captures only the still physical aspect and the features of different facial parts such as angular Jawline, and edges of the nose are all easily captured and become more highlighted in the photograph. Although in real life the human eye doesn't focus on these aspects in singularity and also determines the beauty of someone through the way they move and carry their body. There is no surefire way to determine if someone will look good in photos which are also another reason why modeling agencies conduct test shoots and create the best composite cards to analyze if a model looks good on photograph....

Any aspiring model has a need or responsibility to know and be familiar with the day-to-day terms and Jargons of the industry. Agency This refers to the model agency you have signed up for. Modeling agencies are responsible for their model's safety, overall job experience, payment and every other aspect of their job. Bookers They are also known as model managers and are the main point of contact for models and clients. Bookers have an important responsibility of acquiring clients, selecting the right models and rate of payment for each job. They also have to inform relevant models of job opportunities and every other relevant detail. Casting Call Casting calls are different from agency interviews, and specific to clients and the jobs you are applying for as a model. Agency interviews ask general questions and want to find out more about you as person and to see what type of modeling job would suit you best as a model. Casting call met out specific requirements requested by clients...

If you only have a gut feeling about becoming a model and you aren't very sure, the question becomes, where do I start? Don't worry; you aren't alone in thinking as such. Many of the best models in the world, even up to the ranks of popular Victoria's Secret runway models, started with as much uncertainty as you. We reveal some of the important steps to take on how to start getting model job. Find out what type of modeling fits you Everyone has the potential to be a model, but not everyone can be a fashion model. You have to find out what modeling type your body sizes and dimensions will fit in best. If you are tall (above 165cm) you may be suited for fashion runways and editorials, but if you are short (below 160cm) commercial and print modeling will suit you better. There are ambiguous cases, such as model Kate Moss, where shorter models can become a good runway model. However, such cases are rarer and at least for a start, you will have to be realistic and recognize...

If you've used the Canon 1300D Rebel T6 at all you will know that the Dial Mode on the top Right is really very important because that's the dial that tells the camera the type of picture you want to take and also, in some cases, the circumstances in which you're taking the picture. This means that the camera can help you take the pictures that you want, without you needing the expert knowledge to set the aperture and shutter speed yourself. In other words, you can concentrate on the composition and content of the picture and leave the camera to sort out the technical aspects. However the Canon 1300D also allows you partial or full control of the settings, so that you can make these decisions when you feel confident enough. The four options at the top of the dial - M, AV, TV, and P are called the creative or manual modes and the reason they are called the creative modes is because you can actually change many of the settings in the camera so that you can become more creati...

If you have time you can find hundreds of wonderful sculptures in all major Hindu temples in India. One among those wonders is Musical Pillars. Enter through North gate of Madurai Meenakshi Amman temple. On your left you will find marvelous Musical Pillars. Since all the visitors abused the pillars with granites and hammers, the pillar has been protected by fence. What is a musical pillar? Around a bigger central column are clustered smaller shafts; each having different thickness and differently fluted, produces different notes when struck with a hard substance like a pebble or hammer or with rubber head. Sha, Ri, Ka, Ma, Pa, Dha, Ni, Sha are the basic seven notes in Karnatic Music. These note could be produced in these wonderful pillars. A team headed by Dr Kameswaran,an ENT specialist in1983 made a thorough analysis on them at Madurai Meenakshi Temple, South India. Computer analysis of the sounds produced by the musical pillars shows that the principles of vibration of bodies have ...

Are we alone? The quest to find the Holy Grail of life beyond Earth is certainly one of humanity's greatest endeavors--and the answer to this profound question could change forever how we view ourselves, and how we perceive our own true place in the cosmic scheme of things. The search for life on other worlds begins in habitable zones--the "Goldilocks" region surrounding stars where the conditions are not too hot, not too cold, but just right for water to exist in its life-sustaining liquid phase--because life as we know it can only exist in the presence of liquid water. In February 2017, an interdisciplinary team of NASA scientists announced that they want to expand just how habitable zones are defined by taking into consideration the impact of stellar activity, which can pose a great danger to an alien world's atmosphere, resulting in oxygen loss. NASA research indicates that habitable zones surrounding small, relatively cool red dwarf stars--the most common type o...

Before you go through and complete your CDL test and are issued your license, it's important to know as much about the process and know everything that is offered to you first. Getting your CDL opens the doors to the truck driving industry to you, but there are also other doors that get neglected, which could prove to be a career-boosting road that you would have driven past if you didn't know all about the CDL's various endorsements and how to get them. CDL Endorsements Available While it will depend on which state you live in, there are CDL endorsements that you will always see listed, including: Hazardous Materials School Bus & Passenger Doubles & Triples Tankers Air Brakes Receiving CDL Endorsements The process is not too different form receiving the actual CDL test, in that you need to take a written test, pass a background check, and, for Hazardous Materials Endorsement, you will be subject to an inspection of your truck by the government to prevent it from b...

Christians and others who appreciate the Bible are often challenged by attempts to contextualize the book of Ecclesiastes. Where other parts of the Old Testament focus on glorifying and pleasing God, this uniquely charming book repeatedly returns to the refrain that, "everything is meaningless." There are, of course, many different translations of the Bible, and readers of the King James Version or English Standard Version may have seen this phrase translated as, "all is vanity." Which Translation is Correct? Anyone who has struggled with translation understands that words in different languages often have slightly different meanings. When converting texts from ancient languages like Biblical Greek into modern English, there are additional challenges. In the case of this particular text, Biblical scholars have sometimes chosen words that seem very different from "vanity" and "meaningless." Some versions draw a comparison to vapor and breath. Ins...
