40 Aphrodisiacs From Around the World

If you’re looking for ways to spice up your romantic life, you’re not alone. Dating back to the ancient Greeks (and probably before that), folks have been consuming all sorts of food, drink, herbs, spices, and other concoctions to try to get an edge in the bedroom. While some of these aphrodisiacs are well known, such as oysters, chocolate, and red wine, there are many others that you’ve probably never heard of. For example, did you know that in Thailand and Singapore, folks consume cobra blood and meat as a way to improve “erectogenic prowess?”

That’s right: people drink snake blood to boost their libido. While we know people drink and eat plenty of substance, what role do lifestyle choices play in one’s sexual desire? For example: Does an increase in a person’s sleep or exercise result in an increase in sex drive?

The Importance of Attic Insulation

There are quite some insulation materials you can use that are available in the market today. Each type of material has its pros and cons. So, before choosing the material to use for attic insulation, you need to be aware of what each material provides for your situation. Let us look at the five common types of insulation materials.

For mineral wool insulation, there are three options that are available, glass wool that is derived from fibreglass, rock wool that is derived from basalt, and slag wool derived from steel mill slag. In Canada, you will find that most of the mineral wool is slag wool. You can purchase mineral wool either as loose material or in batts. Mineral wool is not an ideal option for places where extreme heat is present because it does not have additives. But since it is not combustible, it can still be used in the attic. To make it more effective, you can use it with other fire-resistant materials.

Who’s employees are most afraid of drug tests at work?

Have you ever applied for a job that you were worried you might have to take a pre-employment drug test for? Or maybe you work for a company that has random drug testing? Millions of Americans face drug testing in the workplace and there are some companies and industries where drug testing at work is more prevalent. In fact many employers both in the US and worldwide use some form of drug testing to screen their employees before hiring them or when they get a promotion. To try and learn more about drug testing it the workplace, JDP recently analyzed a years’ worth of search trend data from Google to identify the companies with the employees most fearful of drug testing at work. They analyzed data around searches based around the term “does my company drug test”.

They analyzed over 150 of the top companies in the US around that specific search term for each company. From there they were able to see which employees are Googling the most about whether or not their employer drug tests. The results provided an interesting look at who’s employees are the most concerned about getting drug tested at work. To try and make this a fair comparison across different companies, they researched the number of employees for each company and then divided the total search volume for the year by the number of employees. This gave them data around the number of employees per search.

The lower the number of employees per search, means there are more searches per employee. JDP also identified 8 specific industries were searches for employment related drug testing searches were high. Let’s take a deeper look at the analysis.
Those industries are as follows:

  • Fast food (Sonic Drive-In, McDonald’s, Panera Bread, etc.) 
  • Superstores (Target, Costco, Kohl’s, etc.) 
  • Grocery stores (Aldi, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, etc.) 
  • Tech companies (Amazon, Tesla, Apple, etc.) 
  • Discount shopping stores (Dollar General, Family Dollar, Dollar Tree, etc.) 
  • Apparel stores (Foot Locker, Ross Dress for Less, JCPenney, etc.) 
  • Shipping companies (UPS, FedEx) 
  • Hardware stores (Menards, Home Depot, Lowe’s, etc.)

They also did a more comprehensive breakdown of the top 60 American companies. Surprisingly enough Aldi took the top spot, followed by PetSmart, Sonic Drive-In, GameStop, McDonald’s, Ulta Beauty, Hobby Locker, Target and Trader Joe’s rounding out the top 10. Major tech companies like Google, Amazon, Apple prevalent on the list as well as major banking companies like Chase and Bank of America. There was also a wide range of fast food companies and major grocery stores that were well represented as well.

Even though fewer and fewer companies are using pre-employment drug screenings the people concerned about the tests have not gone down as is prevalent by the number of yearly Google searches on the topic. The full list and analysis from employment screening services company JDP can be seen in the graphic below. This analysis is unique take on the subject of drug testing in the workplace in 2019.

A Brief History Of The Internet – Origins and Timeline

Internet introduced the concept of a network of heterogenous packet switched networks connected by gateways. The networks did not know they were part of the Internet. The networks were interconnected by specialized computers called gateways. The hosts on each network knew they were part of the Internet and knew how to send and receive Internet packets.

 The gateways knew they were part of the Internet and they routed Internet packets from gateway to gateway across multiple networks until they arrived at the destination network at which point they were relayed to the destination host on the destination network.
