13 Puppy Perils of The Fall Season

Although fall can be an exciting and welcomed time of year for most people, it can also be a riskier time of year for dogs.

As such, it’s important to be proactive in working to keep your dog safe this fall. In the following infographic, we’re outlining common seasonal dangers that your dog risks potentially facing at some point or another this fall. This includes hazardous foods, seasonal allergies, drops in temperature, and other examples of seasonal dangers.

High Life: Illegal Drugs and Conformity

External image

Recently, you may have heard a lot about so-called designer drugs, and how they’re commonly available to teenagers. Although those certainly pose dangers, young people are often able to find drugs in a location that’s much more accessible: The home medicine cabinet.

Studies, like this one from 12 Keys Rehab, have found how as many as 27 percent of teenagers think using prescription drugs is safer than trying street drugs. Also, 30 percent held the belief that it’s okay to take drugs prescribed by a doctor for a reason other than to treat a genuine illness or injury.

Think about those statistics, and consider that the prescription drugs in your home are probably freely accessible to any curious teens that may come across them. That’s not a reason to be paranoid and avoid keeping prescription drugs on hand when they’re needed, but it’s a good idea to at least store them securely to prevent misuse by teens who feel compelled to conform to behaviors encouraged by peers.

The Secret World of Background Checks

Contrary to popular belief, 73% of all U.S. companies perform background checks on all candidates, not just those applying for upper management positions. There are numerous reasons why a person may run a background check on another individual. Employers perform background checks on potential employees, property managers run background checks on incoming tenants, parents run background checks on nannies, and some people even run background checks on the people they date! There are a number of benefits associated with performing background checks. Background checks can help confirm a person’s qualifications, solidify their character, verify their educational background, alert an employer about potential issues relating to criminal history, credit history, and legal working status. In the following infographic, we’ll outline the typical process of a background check. In addition, we’ll illustrate how to find the right provider once you’ve decided you want to run a background check, go through a list of the most common infractions found when running a background check, and shed light on the “the dark side” of background checks.

The True Cost of an Attorney

There are a number of factors that can influence how much money you or your company might have to spend the next time you need an attorney. According to one study, company legal departments can spend anywhere from $245,000 to $320 million in legal fees annually. So why are attorney fees so high? There are a number of reasons. One reason relates to the amount of money attorneys spend while earning their law degrees. On top of their four year college degrees, attorneys also attend three years of law school. For individuals working toward a career as an attorney, tuition can cost anywhere from $119,295 to $174,327 depending on whether they attend an in-state, out-of-state, or private school. Another reason relates to the time and energy that an attorney typically spends working on complex corporate cases (many of which take three years or more to resolve). In the following infographic, we’ll outline additional factors that influence the costs of hiring an attorney, what types of services small businesses typically hire attorneys for, and how costs vary depending on where you are in the country.

Will Drivers Licenses Be Needed In The Future

Thanks to advances in technology, everyday tasks continue to get easier and easier for society. For many, the idea of self-driving cars seems like a technology that would only be available to the general public in the far distant future. In recent years however, a handful of companies have been making investments to make this seemingly unimaginable innovation possible. Having already completed 300,000 test drive miles without incident using its driverless car, Google is one such company that has been working hard to bring the concept of self-driving vehicle technology to fruition. In addition, other companies have developed similar technology that is changing the way drivers operate their vehicles—like autonomous parking, advanced GPS systems, and integrated obstacle avoidance and detection systems. In the following infographic, we outline additional information about driverless cars, introduce other examples of other car technology currently being introduced to the public, and discuss what’s in store for the future of driving and transportation. - See more at: http://www.dmvcheatsheets.com/articles/infographic-will-drivers-licenses-be-needed-in-the-future#sthash.ZOmzPRNL.dpuf

Today, the largest amount of gift baskets are sold and given away during popular holidays like Christmas, Mother’s Day, and Valentine’s Day.

Some Deaths Are Preventable

Life expectancy continues to increase with advancing healthcare, but there are still a prominent number of preventable deaths each year. The causes range from unhealthy eating to lack of physical activity, both of which contribute to the two main causes of preventable deaths in the United States: heart disease and diabetes.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, which is the developed country with the worst preventable death rate. It’s an alarming statistic considering the advanced nature of U.S. medical care. In the U.S., 32% of women under the age of 75 die from preventable deaths, while 23% of men under 75 suffer the same fate.

Despite advances in modern medicine, the U.S. is improving its preventable death rate at a slower rate than any other developed country. Inactivity and poor diet are the primary culprits, exacerbated by U.S. tendencies for easily accessible fast food and conveniences.

Dinner's Around The World

Dinner: it’s one of the world’s favorite meals of the day. According to research, 43 percent of families in the U.S. eat dinner together every evening. Americans eat out approximately 1.4 times per week. When Americans do leave the house for a professionally prepared meal, they tend to visit Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Pizza, and Thai restaurants most often. So how do our dinner eating habits compare to the rest of the world? You might be surprised to learn about some of the differences. In Nepal, for example, many people eat while sitting on the floor in a meditating position. In France, dinner can often be served as late as 10 P.M. In Spain, the meal served in the evening is often lighter than other meals eaten during the day. The following infographic outlines how dinner is prepared, served, and consumed in other parts of the world.

Tales From The Graveyard Shift

According to a recent study, one in five employees in the U.S. works during the evening, at night, or on rotating shifts. As scary as working the “graveyard shift” might seem to you, there are a number of reported advantages to working through the night. Night shift workers spend about 4.4 hours per day with their children, which is about 30 minutes per day more than day workers. More time during the day also means it can be easier to run errands, take care of personal matters, and spend more time in the sun. Working the night shift isn’t for everyone though. One study reports that 29% of male night shift workers are dissatisfied with their job situation, compared to 19% of males who work during the day. In addition, some studies have found that there are certain health risks associated with working at night for a prolonged period of time. In the following infographic, we’ll outline more advantages and disadvantages of working the graveyard shift, what industries you can find night shift work in, and additional research that relates to night shift work in the U.S.

History of Life Insurance

External image

History is not always as certain as we would like. The way in which the world worked centuries ago is known in outline, but we often only see highlights. So, for example, there have been versions of life insurance for more than two thousand years. It all began in Ancient Rome when military leaders faced the problem of high-cost funerals. Their families were expected to pay for major events. Their solution was to contribute into a fund that would pay for their funerals should they die unexpectedly when fighting wars.

This was translated into something more recognizably life insurance by John Graunt in 1662. He was a statistician and noticed predictable patterns in mortality. In the 1760’s, life insurance crossed the Atlantic and was offered in Charleston, South Carolina. This was not controversial and spread throughout America. However, when the Civil War broke out, the life insurance industry decided to pay out no matter which side the deceased supported. This openhanded approach became the basis of the Social Security programs we know today.

The next major event occurred in 1904 when the Central Life Insurance Company issued a policy covering a woman. The rest, as people say, is history. The basics were in place and all that followed just added details like the first claimants who died in an air crash, computerization, and so on. No doubt there will be something spectacular to add to the list tomorrow.
