   It's no secret that people who are conventionally attractive generally make for more desirable romantic partners. No matter your individual preferences, you're probably more likely to have a crush on your good looking neighbor than someone you don't find physically alluring. However, there may actually be perks to being seen as pretty that extend beyond the dating scene. Here are a few benefits to being beautiful that are backed up by science.

Developmental stability has also been positively linked to body symmetry.

  Photography is a part of art that captures memories and lifetime events. Ever since time immemorial, artists have used pictures to describe a person’s emotions, mentality and physical state at a given moment. For many years now, we have learnt to store memories of our loved ones in photo albums. This idea has helped families carry on the memory of legends in their lives and show them to their kids and future generations. Technology has played an important role in photography. Digital cameras, smartphones, tablets, i-pads, laptops and many more, have high tech cameras installed in them. All devices vary in the camera specifications but provide one with the capability to take photos and store them. MORE PHOTO (60 PHOTO) Photography has become an essential activity in today’s era. Digital users can today, through different applications, tell a story through their photos and videos.

  Sometimes hotness has nothing to do with Actor’s popularity. Just like in real life, some get famous for creating stupid videos, others for masterpieces. The mediocrity is never rewarded so you must pick your poison. For the most popular Actor, it’s more to do with their experience and ongoing trends. A few years ago, younger Actor were far more popular than MILFs, but now it’s back to the older women. It’s also obvious that the more years you have under your belt, the higher the fan count and so on.

  hypnosis is often portrayed as a control tactic — to get people to commit crimes or fall in love, for instance. Hypnotists are often also seen as wacky magicians who put people on stage and get them to neigh when they hear the word “horse.” The way hypnosis is shown in the media may make it seem like it’s just for fun, but there’s more to hypnosis than its entertainment factor. In fact, hypnosis can benefit your health and well-being. MORE PHOTO (30 PHOTO) Hypnosis may be a helpful tool if you sleepwalk or struggle with falling and staying asleep. If you have insomnia, hypnosis can relax you enough to get you to sleep more easily. If you’re a sleepwalker, hypnosis can also train you to wake up when you feel your feet hit the floor and help you avoid sleepwalking escapades. And if you just want to sleep a little better, hypnosis can help with that, too. Learning self-hypnosis techniques can increase the amount of time you sleep and the amount of time spent in deep sleep — th...

  A study published in the American Journal of Human Biology uncovered that tattooing serves to inoculate the immune system. There are two reasons behind this. One is that they have less reduction in immunoglobulin A. The second is that getting a tattoo stimulates an immune response. Immunoglobulin A is an antibody that helps the immune, gastrointestinal, and respiratory systems. More Photo ( 20 Photo ) Tattoos also stimulate and strengthen the immune response. When the immune system detects a foreign invader in your body it sends antibodies to attack them. This happens when you get a tattoo. Your body attacks the foreign invader (tattoo ink), which is why swelling can occur. Eventually your body accepts the ink and you begin to heal. Over this time the immune system becomes stronger through its efforts to combat the ink.

 Lustful looking is so tacky, isn’t it? You know when you see guys oogling some woman or  guy up and down how repulsive it is. And most of us know the feeling of being that guy too. But beyond that, there are a few reasons why lustful looking is so damaging. Nevermind that its hurtful to our spouses/significant others.

It might surprise you (or maybe not!) to know that one of the most common questions we get is: "Why do people wear corsets?" It seems so obvious when you’re a ‘seasoned’ corset wearer or a long-time waist trainer, but there are plenty of corset-curious folks out there who might consider one if they understood what all the hype was about. That’s right. Don’t be shocked or scandalized ... corsets are sexy. It's not just about the look either. Try a corset on sometime. If you’ve got the right size and style, you feel pretty amazing as soon as you cinch those laces. No need to tight lace either, just snug it up to your body.

Yes, you can diet, exercise, drop a few pounds ... but let’s face it, sometimes you just want that “look” again NOW! We’ve taken a few corsets to a party before (becau...

  In many parts of the world, women are unable to move freely. Freedom of movement is not only a human right―emphasized in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (article 13)―but is also an economic imperative. When countries impose legal restrictions on women’s ability to move freely, do not provide workplace flexibility for parents with children or fail to protect women from sexual harassment in public places, women’s economic empowerment is impaired. Social norms may also limit women’s ability to move freely and get a job or start a business. MORE PHOTO ( 25 PHOTO) On 2 February 2016, the Empower Women team and the World Bank Group’s Women, Business and the Law team co-hosted a Google Hangout followed by a two week e-discussion focused on the regulatory and social constraints on women’s ability to move freely, and the importance of freedom of movement for women’s economic empowerment. Experts and discussant were Katrin Schulz (World Bank Group), Nisha Arekapudi (World B...

 Our human nature is one that acts based on pain and pleasure. Everything we do is either to avoid some kind of pain or attain a pleasure. Knowing this, God has encouraged humans to make the right decisions with the promise that we will be rewarded for them. When there is a new product that is about to be revealed there is usually a hype that accompanies it. People talk about it, imagine what it might be, and speculate about all of its potential features. However, once it is revealed, people are often disappointed and their initial hype and excitement wither away. More Photo (+18) What does it mean to have an 'afterlife'? Are there different kinds of afterlives? What would it feel like to be in an afterlife? If one samples the various afterlives on offer from the world's multitudinous religions, one would be forgiven for being confused. Here's the core question: If there is a an afterlife, do individual personalities persist?

Don't underestimate the power of walking. Despite it being low-impact and not that intense compared to other cardio workouts like running or HIIT, the benefits are far from ordinary. "One of the biggest misconceptions about walking is that it’s not an effective weight loss tool and that it requires a lot of time and effort for minimal results," says Keri Peterson, MD. But the truth is walking can actually help you lose weight, among several other major life perks. And you can start reaping the benefits with just 30 minutes a day, she adds. But walking isn’t just good for weight loss alone. "Research finds that walking regularly reduces the risk of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and heart disease," Dr. Peterson says. To get in on those gains, though, is going to take more than your typical, one foot in front of the other. "Many of us get into what I call a walking rut," says Michele Stanten, an ACE-certified fitness instructor, wal...

  t is not clear in which context the term “crimes against humanity” was first developed. Some scholars  point to the use of this term (or very similar terms) as early as late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, particularly in the context of slavery and the slave trade, and to describe atrocities associated with European colonialism in Africa and elsewhere such as, for example, the atrocities committed by Leopold II of Belgium in the Congo Free State. Other scholars  point to the declaration issued in 1915 by the Allied governments (France, Great Britain and Russia) condemning the mass killing of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, to be the origin of the use of the term as the label for a category of international crimes. MORE PHOTO (12 PHOTO) Since then, the notion of crimes against humanity has evolved under international customary law and through the jurisdictions of international courts such as the International Criminal Court, the International Criminal Tri...
