It’s also well established that sexual activity is beneficial for the cardiovascular system, as it increases our heart rate and may even contribute to lower blood pressure.But as it turns out, using sex toys can also have some surprisingly positive effects on our health. And of course toys like butt plugs, dildos and vibrators, sex toys can be used with a partner too.Their popularity has been steadily growing year after year, and sex toys are no longer as taboo as they once were.

What is a kakistocracy, in the world of work ?

We spend a good deal of our time at work, 35 hours a week or more. It's an integral part of our lives, so if you can it's always best to surround yourself with good colleagues. They make work not only more enjoyable but stimulating. Their support and collaboration also helps to create a positive environment where teamwork leads to tackling problems and finding solutions. However, when we don't get along with our co-workers, time moves slowly, worse still is when you find yourself compensating for their shoddy work or having to work around them. But by far the worst situation is when the problem of incompetence comes from above. This situation has a name: the working environment becomes a kakistocracy.What does it mean? How do incompetent people get to positions of power in the first place? Is it possible to overthrow a kakistocracy?
