FACEBOOK LIKES REVEAL PERSONAL SECRETS

Even if you never post your political views on Facebook, avoid ever saying anything about your religious beliefs or even hint about your sexual orientation, that information is easily available based on the "like" buttons you click. Marketers, credit agencies, corporations, potential employers, politicians or the government can discern accurate details about your personality, politics, religion, gender, intelligence, race and sexual orientation by the lasting fingerprint you leave when you click "like" to indicate your approval of everything from a new restaurant to a favorite musician. That's the conclusion of a study conducted by researchers at the University of Cambridge in the England. While most of us jealously guard information we consider private, such as our medical history or finances, "liking" a new movie or a sports athlete on Facebook seems benign and unimportant. Wrong! Kosinski says sensitive inferences can be drawn by organizations from...

HOW YOU TOUCH REVEALS YOUR PERSONALITY!

Huggers If you like to hug, you're a happy, sensuous, outgoing person who also likes being hugged. Back slappers You're a shy person who's trying to project the image of being outgoing. Gentle tappers You're a kind person who's trying to reach out for new friendships. You hate to intrude on people, but can't resist tapping someone on the hand or arm to show your interest. Heavy rubbers If you find yourself rubbing people's shoulders, arms and back often, you're a warm, generous, honest person. People think of you as a big teddy bear. Hand holder Someone who holds onto your hand is trying to tell you that you can trust them with your secrets. Non-toucher If you know someone who doesn't like to touch people, they're not necessarily bad people. Often, non-touchers aren't unfeeling; they just show their appreciation in other ways, like by buying thoughtful gifts!

ARE YOU REALLY MIDDLE CLASS?

Are you really middle class? Here are signs that show you've made it: Owning a home Even though real estate values range widely, being the master or mistress of your own castle is definitely a middle-class thing. Healthcare With the cost of medicine skyrocketing, it's imperative to have insurance and the middle class does. Owning a car Middle-class folks don't rely on public transportation unless they happen to be ecologically conscious and use mass transit to save the environment. Taking vacations Not everyone can afford a two week family holiday every year. Feel fortunate if you can, even if it means having to deal with the airlines. Sending kids to college You don't have to be a Rockefeller to pay for college, but it sure helps these days. Still, middle-class kids continue their education after high school. Retirement funds Middle-class people don't work until they drop. They're able to retire and even move to warmer places, like Florida and Arizon...

WHAT'S IN YOUR SHEETS?

If you could put your sheets under a microscope, you might be surprised - and a little freaked out - by what you would see. Almost every bed has dust mites, which are microscopic bugs that feed off of dead skin cells. These little things live, die and reproduce in the same bed sheets that you sleep in. The only way to keep these creatures under control is to wash your bed sheets on a regular basis. Otherwise, you may develop an allergy, or even a lowered immune system. As gross as dust mites are, they aren't the only things hiding in your bed sheets. Here's what you also may be sleeping in: Dead skin cells -- Your body sheds about a million skin cells a day, so some of those are bound to come off when you sleep. Unfortunately, dead skin cells are a tasty snack for dust mites. Oils -- Your body secretes natural oils as you sleep, which, of course, end up on your bed sheets. Sweat -- If you get too hot during the night, your body will sweat to cool off. Bodily fluids -- S...
