Do you know that more than one in ten of us is dyslexic.

Dyslexia is a learning difference which primarily affects reading and writing skills. However, it does not only affect these skills. Dyslexia is actually about information processing. Dyslexic people may have difficulty processing and remembering information they see and hear, which can affect learning and the acquisition of literacy skills. Dyslexia can also impact on other areas such as organizational skills.

It is important to remember that there are positives to thinking differently. Many dyslexic people show strengths in areas such as reasoning and in visual and creative fields. – British Dyslexia Association: https://www.bdadyslexia.org.uk/

Lupus Awareness month

October is Lupus awareness month.

What is Lupus?

It's an incurable immune system illness, probably genetic in origin and mainly suffered by females. It can affect any part of the body and that's the danger.

What are the risks?

Lupus can produce many symptoms and family doctors often fail to recognize it. Meanwhile, a number of major organs can be damaged in an irreversible way.

What are the symptoms to look out for?

The two major symptoms are joint and muscle pain and an extreme tiredness that won't go away no matter how much you rest.

Rashes, depression, anemia, feverishness, headaches, possible hair loss and mouth ulcers may all be part of the pattern of lupus.

Noticeably, whilst the two major symptoms are invariably present, people with lupus can differ greatly in their symptoms and how the illness can affect them - life-threatening for a few, very mild for some. Miscarriage, often recurrent, is another unhappy complication of lupus.

3 smart money moves that make to beat the State Pension How to Separate Home Life from Working-from-Home Life 1. Have a Separate Office Space Yes, sure, the most obvious thing I knew was to have a “dedicated office space” because that is what everyone says. Why this is important for me, is not to lessen home distractions, but to have a physical space in which I can then physically leave at the end of the day. Physically moving my body from “work” to “home – and then not co-using that space for anything else – helps create an energy flow that most people experience when they physically leave their in-office jobs at the end of the day. 2. But Find What Feels Good I initially assumed I had to separate all the things. Turns out, I don’t have to do anything. And in fact, separating work and home entirely does not work for me. At least, not every day. Some days, my energy vibration at work is high and positive and I kick so...

Opinion :   Impact of digital marketing on consumer  behavior Digital marketing has transformed the marketing game and touched new heights, so much so that the ones who were not anywhere close to this field are now wanting to use this to promote their brand. With the shift of marketing techniques from traditional to digital, the process of consumer decision making has also changed beyond recognition. As per reports, as of October 2019, almost 4.48 billion people were active internet users, encompassing 58 per cent of the global population.   Digitization  and access to the internet has created a new growth story for businesses and consumers alike. Nowadays, to make a purchase, consumers quickly turn to the internet to research and make their decision a couple of hours, or perhaps even minutes.
