Get organized by finding unused storage space in your house

Storage happens. Unfortunately, most often it happens without a plan. We stash something where there's an empty spot, then pile something else on top of it, and so on, until one day we've forgotten where we put any of it. And, in the meantime, the pile has grown big enough to cause problems of its own.

One reason we create such visible messes with our haphazard, unplanned storage habits is that we fail to consider the large, and largely empty, spaces that exist around the house. The first step in planned storage, therefore, is to inventory the potential storage spaces that surround you. Let's start at the top.

1. Attics

2. Walls

3. Closets

4. Pantries

5. Laundry

6. Basements

7. Entries & Mudrooms

8. Garages

9. Sheds

10. Temporary Storage Units

These are the top ten reasons why you might want to quit your current job. These are difficult, if not impossible, work problems to solve. You need to look out for your best interests. Your job consumes too many hours of too many days of your life for you to stay where you are if you're miserable. No excuses, now. If these problems exist in your current job, make a plan, and quit your job.

Your company is experiencing a downward spiral

Your relationship with your manager is damaged beyond repair

Your life situation has changed.

Your values are at odds with the corporate culture

You've stopped having fun and enjoying your job

Your company is ethically challenged

you have behaved in ways that are considered improper

You've burned your bridges with your coworkers

Your stress level is so high at work that it is affecting your physical or mental health

burnout and if they can't be cured, move on

You are unchallenged

Steps

Network. The best companies to work for tend to rely heavily (up to 40%) on employee referrals.^[1] Make a list of all of your friends, relatives, and acquaintances. Call each one and ask them if they know of any openings that they could recommend you for. Don't be too humble or apologetic; tell them what you've been looking for, but let them know that you're flexible and that if they have any suggestions, you're open to them. This is not the time to be picky about jobs; a connection can often get your foot in the door, and you can negotiate pay or switch positions later, once you've gained experience and established your reputation.

Volunteer.

Develop your personal elevator pitch.

Prepare for a behavioral interview.

Research the company.

Settle down.

Make a list of work-related skills you'd like to learn.

Cold call.

Change your attitude.

Fit the job to the skills

Accidental fungus leads to promising cancer drug!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A drug developed using nanotechnology and a fungus that contaminated a lab experiment may be broadly effective against a range of cancers, U.S. researchers reported on Sunday

The drug, called lodamin, was improved in one of the last experiments overseen by Dr. Judah Folkman, a cancer researcher who died in January. Folkman pioneered the idea of angiogenesis therapy -- starving tumors by preventing them from growing blood supplies.

Lodamin is an angiogenesis inhibitor that Folkman's team has been working to perfect for 20 years. Writing in the journal Nature Biotechnology, his colleagues say they developed a formulation that works as a pill, without side-effects.

Tests in mice showed it worked against a range of tumors, including breast cancer, neuroblastoma, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, brain tumors known as glioblastomas and uterine tumors.
