Reflecting values of the tiny houses movement <p><em>*Inspirations for going tiny is environmental consciousness, self-sufficiency, and the desire for a life adventure.</em></p> <p>But tiny houses physically demand particular social relationships that not everyone can manage. A family in a little house will likely feel cramped, which can create a chain reaction of stressors.</p>
Why We Feel Overwhelmed <p><em>We’re overwhelmed by all the things we have on our plates, all the interruptions and messages and emails, all the things online and on social media, all the news, and chaos of the world, and all the things going on in our relationships. It’s a lot! We can celebrate the abundance of our lives, but often we bemoan it.</em></p><p><strong>The problem isn’t the abundance, but our fear and anxiety about all of it.</strong> Actually, for most of us, the fear is that we’ll let people down. We’ll drop one of the many balls we have in the air and let people down, or worse yet, we’ll drop them all and we’ll be exposed as inadequate!</p>
<p>And I mean it. <strong><em>Don’t even think about it </em> </strong>! If they have to be chased, then they don’t want you. And if they don’t want you, then you shouldn’t want them (see #2). As Maya Angelou says, “When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.” If someone is showing you that they would rather not date you, believe them. Shrug your shoulders and move on. It’s their loss, not yours. No, really—it is.</p>
Failure In The Meritocratic Society <p>A meritocratic society is one in which, <strong>if you've got talent and energy, and skill, you will get to the top, nothing should hold you back.</strong> The problem is, if you believe in this system, you'll also believe in a society where <strong>those who deserve to get to the bottom also get to the bottom and stay there. </strong></p><p>So, your position in life comes to seem not accidental but merited and deserved.<strong> And that makes failure seem much more crushing. </strong></p>

The king also thought that he was not refined enough in behavior and hence, refused to offer him the position.

Enterprise Software UX Design Stumbs <p>A frictionless user experience is an essential component of a successful software application—this is true of enterprise software just as much as consumer software.

When building enterprise software, there are some special UX considerations that must be taken into account, and some unique consequences for failing to do so.</p>
Regulating Social Media <p>It's dangerous to intervene with social media regulation policies both as policymakers and parents if you don't have the evidence to support your claims. </p> <p>Even though your intervention is done out of goodwill, you might end up taking away someone's lifeline or their human right to play.</p>
Special sighting of the Moon <p>Every few months, we have a special sighting of the Moon where it is not only a full Moon but what is known as a supermoon.</p> <p>To understand why it is a supermoon, we first have to understand why different parts of the Moon are lit up at other times of the months.</p>
On social media face filters <p><br></p><p>Social media face filters are subtle ways of telling people that being beautiful means not having pimples, blemishes, etc. This narrative is harmful because it pushes a non-inclusive and (almost) unattainable idea of beauty. I believe that eyebags and pimples are part of what it takes to be a human. Humans are not Barbie dolls. We get tired and stressed out. </p>

10. Mark Twain <p>Mark Twain died of a heart attack on April 21, 1910, which is a pretty common way to go. What’s unusual is that he predicted his own death. <em>“I came in with Halley’s Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it,”</em> he declared in 1909. “It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don’t go out with Halley’s Comet.” </p><p>The comet’s perihelion—when it was closest to the sun—was April 20, just one day before Twain shuffled off this mortal coil.</p>

7 Key Life Lessons I Learned from The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck <p>As the title of the book suggests, not giving a fuck is <strong>an art </strong>and a subtle one at that. Not giving a fuck about anything is not cool, it’s not the romanticized view of the movie hero who’s a calm badass…</p><p>It’s that feeling like nothing in your life matters, where you feel lifeless and are unable to feel anything at all. It’s basically being dead inside and having a severe depression!</p><p>At the core, the book The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is about finding out your <strong>values </strong>and living by those! In other words, it’s about choosing what to give a fuck about, and what to let go of.</p><p>So the first step is to figure out what you stand for. What the things that are important to YOU are. What key principles and values are in line with the person you are and want to be.</p>
Chess is 'life in miniature' <p>The 13th-century Dominican friar Jacobus de Cessolis described the ways each chess piece contributes to a harmonious social order. </p> <ul> <li>He distinguished paws by trade and connected each to its royal partner. </li> <li>The first pawn is a farmer and tied to the castle because he provides food to the kingdom. </li> <li>The second pawn is a blacksmith who makes armour for the knight. </li> <li>The third is an attorney who helps the bishop with legal matters.</li> </ul> <p>Jacobus's allegory becomes the central message of the mini-series "The Queen's Gambit." Beth becomes a figurative queen after she learns to work with other players. Just like the pawn, she converts in her final game.</p>

Runway Trends <p>Many of the current trends are inspired by the looks that designers send down the runways each season during Fashion Week events in New York, Milan, and Paris.</p> <p>One reason runways inspire trends is that <strong>runway looks are moments created by fashion designers that are fantastical</strong>. People wait for many of the pieces in anticipation because they are typically over-the-top designs that look like they came from a dream.</p>

Skepticism <ul><li><strong>Pyrrho of Elis (c. 360-c. 270 B.C.) is the earliest figure in ancient Greek skepticism on record. </strong></li><li>Probably influenced by the Buddhist tradition of his time, <strong>Pyrrho viewed the suspension of judgment as a means to achieve that freedom of disturbance that alone can lead to happiness. </strong></li><li>His goal was to keep <strong>each human’s life in a state of perpetual inquiry.</strong> Indeed, the mark of skepticism is the suspension of judgment.</li><li>The teachings of ancient skeptics exercised a deep influence on a number of major Western philosophers, including Michel de Montaigne, Renè Descartes and David Hume. </li></ul>

A willingness to believe <p><strong>The ability to believe things that aren't true or haven't happened yet is the foundation of all economic growth and decline.</strong> </p> <p>Every society tells fictional stories and is willing to believe them to some extend. It isn't a bad thing: It's the root of most growth. Most economic growth comes from optimism, and optimism requires a degree of believing in something you can't or haven't verified.</p>
Empaths <p> They’re ‘empaths’, they say, deeply disturbed by anything unpleasant.If it was just Gen Z being soppy, you could slightly excuse it. But when middle-aged men and women who you respected for their apparent insouciance claim to be ‘empaths’, it’s hard not to despair. </p><p>Witness John Lydon saying that punk was about ‘empathy’. Really? From where I was standing – right at the front of the crowd at the Screen on the Green – it was about anger and spite. But no doubt I got the wrong end of the stick.</p>
Everyone Is Different: The Background <p><strong>Equity is absolutely not the same as equality, but they play for the same team. Equitable solutions require us to understand history, context, and cultural relativism.</strong></p><p>Much of the historical narrative and cultural consensus has focused on the struggle for <em>equality</em>: equal rights, equal treatment, and equal opportunity. It was only half a century ago that the principles of our Constitution were finally written into laws that granted <em>all</em> people the same treatment before the law—regardless of “race, colour, sex, or national origin,” as the Civil Rights era formula goes.</p>

13. Treat Writing Like a Blue Collar Job Steven pressfield can, and does, in his book, turning pro. He says you should show up on time and punch the clock, take breaks and go do something else.

Spiritual But Not Religious (SBNR) <p>In Canada, millennials are ditching orthodox religions and embracing spirituality.

The Paradox Of Technology <p>Technology keeps pushing out the boundaries — but only up to a certain point. <em>Population size and consumption </em>are (and always were) <em>oblivious </em>to this trend and kept increasing well beyond the limits set by resources (both natural and mineral) available to them. <em>This is overshoot. Once reached, there is no safe return: civilizations have to keep doing what they are doing to avoid collapse, but by doing so they’re just hastening their demise. </em></p>
A policy challenge <p>From the perspective of mortality-adjustments, one can see a flawed assumption underlying the conventional demographic doomsayers who don't distinguish between ageing and longevity effects.</p> <p><strong>A more nuanced approach is needed that reflects the multidimensional aspects of ageing</strong>. The average person now lives a longer, healthier life based on income, education, genetics, lifestyle, and environment. There is a growing need for more flexible policies to help older workers live more productive lives.</p>

Why is it worth reading <p>The story has the beautiful and mesmerizing essence of focusing on the little things that make you fall in love with the person. The way Mikki and Rachael have focused on the meticulous details, that makes true love so beautiful and meaningful, instead of focusing on the bigger picture grasps your complete attention and makes you want to read the book in just one go.

Making them feel safe not just by hugs but by words too. Sometimes little moments can also give you a lifetime of happiness in a way that you would have never even imagined.</p>

You don't need to be super strict about your diet <p>There's no need to aim for perfection in your diet 100 per cent of the time. Restrictive diets are unsustainable and often backfire.</p><p><br></p><p>Yet women's magazines fixate on strict eating patterns. Whatever the trend, you'll find it in the pages of these magazines.

Environmental Determinism and Modern Geography <ul> <li>In the late 19th Century, environmental determinism was revived by the German geographer Friedrich Rätzel.

Pelops then married Hippodamia and commemorated his victory by holding the first Olympic Games.</p>
5.

But that’s when the magic happens. </p><p>It applies not just to product design, but to your distribution, business model, and even what categories.</p>
How the train propelled the idea of Christmas <p>Society's view was propelled by trains full of Christmas trees, Christmas cards, and Christmas gifts.</p> <p>The Christmas tree came first as big business in the 19th century.

A Times article in 1890 declared "an epidemic in giving and receiving presents".</p>
Less independence and autonomy <p>American children have less independence and autonomy today.</p><ul><li><i>Parents have become more concerned with safety. </i></li><li><i>Parents run the risk of being charged with neglect for letting children walk unsupervised.</i></li><li><i>Some parents usher their children from one structured activity to the next, leaving little time to play, experiment, and make mistakes.</i></li></ul><p>Kids who have autonomy and independence are less likely to be anxious.

The Days Of Celebrations Vary Even Within The Community <p>Different communities follow different protocols for determining when a new month begins.

You don't need to be super strict about your diet <p>There's no need to aim for perfection in your diet 100 per cent of the time. Restrictive diets are unsustainable and often backfire.</p><p><br></p><p>Yet women's magazines fixate on strict eating patterns. Whatever the trend, you'll find it in the pages of these magazines. Offering short-term perfection sells better than ideas about grinding along to achieve long-term health.</p>
The World Not Being Kind To Us <p>But even if our parents were warm and full of praise, there might still be a problem. It might be that it was the buffeting and indifference of the wider world (starting with the schoolyard) that was intolerable after all the early years of adulation at home. </p><p>One might have emerged from familial warmth and been mortally hurt that strangers were not as kind and understanding as one had come to expect. </p><p>The crushing experience of humiliation might even have been vicarious: one’s mother being rudely dismissed by a waiter; one’s father standing awkwardly alone.</p>

Protesting in the streets <p>Many people think hippies with flowers in their hair were at the heart of the antiwar movement. However, antiwar protesters and hippies were usually two different groups. </p> <ul> <li><i>Hippies prioritized spiritual enlightenment, community building, drugs, and rock-and-roll. </i></li> <li><i>Hippies were indifferent or opposed to activists' political organizing.</i></li> <li><i>Hippies hoped to change America by seceding from established institutions, not by reforming them.</i></li> <li><i>Hippies disregarded popular norms and instead looked inward for peace and wisdom.</i></li> </ul>

Dostoevsky's "The Double" on narcisism <p>The book aptly explains the experiential anxieties of modern social media.

In fact, if you look around you, most people are pursuing happiness in their lives. </p><p>That's why we collectively buy shit we don't need, go to bed with people we don't love, and try to work hard to get approval of people we don't like. </p>
Conservatism <p> Conservatists often:</p><ul><li><strong>promote traditional social institutions</strong></li><li><strong>oppose modernism</strong> </li><li><strong>return to traditional values</strong></li></ul><p>There is no single set of policies regarded as conservative because <strong><em>the meaning of conservatism depends on what is considered traditional in a given place & time.</em></strong></p>

Social entrepreneurship <p>For a long time, the global business world was only vested in economic success while having little regard for how it may affect the environment or the health and well-being of the community.

<p class="ql-align-center"><em>”Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment of failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked.”</em></p>

Seven universal plots <p>There are only seven plots that are so fundamental to the way we tell stories that every storyteller uses one of them: <em>Overcoming Monsters, Rags to Riches, The Quest, Voyage and Return Rebirth, Comedy, Tragedy.</em></p> <p>It's not that good stories are the same, but the plots are less diverse. When we realize this, we see stories in a new light, because we have come to the heart of what stories are about and why we tell them.</p>
A dangerous movie <p>Many reviewers see the Joker as a dangerous film because it might inspire incels to identify with the character as a hero and copy him.</p> <p>The real evil to be feared is a broken, frustrated society that is willing to participate in almost purposeless acts of violence, then put deeper meaning into it, and ultimately use it as a springboard for mass violence and brutality.</p>
Information is Janus-faced <p><em>“Bits of information provide neither meaning nor orientation. They do not congeal into a narrative.”</em></p><p>Information goes along with fundamental suspicion.

Bach: The Music Of Harmony <p>For many musicians, Bach is the ‘alpha’, a shared point of reference, a starting language of how music can be made, and how it can sound.

They feel satisfying after hundreds of years as they carry a theme where each repetition and transformation fits like a jigsaw puzzle. <strong>This was never repeated or fully emulated by any other musician ever since</strong>.</p>

A Challenge Overcome With Creative Persistence <p><strong>The new technique gave Blake full creative freedom and full control of production. </strong>Suddenly, he could combine text and image on a single page, in a single process, which neither traditional engraving nor etching could do — both required separate space for lettering and a second production pass for type-setting the words.</p><p><strong>There was only one challenge with his invention: Because the print was still made by pressing a plate onto a page, any text he painted onto the plate was printed <em>backward</em>.</strong></p><p><strong>So he learned <em>mirror-writing</em>.</strong></p>

Why we're fixated on the unimportant and miss the crucial things <p>We may watch stuff that doesn’t make sense and leave us fixed in a sort of hypnagogic state.

10. Law of Polarity: <p>This law says that everything in life has an opposite; good and evil, love and fear, warmth and cold. The key is understanding these are all two sides of the same coin.</p><p>Kaiser works with this law through the mantra <em>All contrast brings more clarity. </em>If you're facing a difficult situation like a breakup or a health challenge, for example, tune into what the opposite looks like, which can reveal a new perspective or lesson.</p>
<p>Because pink is also known as a relaxing color, it has actually been used as a tool to reduce aggression. In the 1960s, scientist Alexander Schauss noticed that looking at a bright pink tone lowered his blood pressure and heart rate.

A competitive advantage <p><strong>The only thing harder than gaining a competitive edge is not losing an advantage when you have one.</strong></p> <p><em>Sears was the largest retailer in the world and so dominant at retailing efficiency that it could spread its efficiency to unrelated industries. But then the growing income inequality pushed consumers to either bargain or luxury goods, and Sears was left in the shrinking middle, becoming a shell of its former self.</em></p> <p>The story of Sears losing its competitive advantage is not unique. Almost 40% of all public companies lost all their value from 1980 to 2014.</p>

Choosing a theme is one of them. Your social media won’t matter if you have no blog posts to read on your blog.</li></ul>

Dune: From A Book To A Movie <ul> <li>The book became the greatest science fiction novels of all time and sold millions of copies.</li> <li>Dune’s official Hollywood debut happened in 1984, but it was a cheesy movie (with Sting in a codpiece) that was ridiculed.

<p>Demons start out as a self-judgment: you're lazy, you're dirty, you're stupid, you're unlovable, etc. </p><p>Then we try our hardest to <a href="https://markmanson.net/how-we-judge-others">avoid that judgment </a>, to prove it wrong. We clean the garage six times. We work 11 hour days. We win a blue ribbon at the local skating rink. <em>See! I told you I'm cool and likeable! See! Look at me! </em> </p><p>But eventually, that avoidance becomes self-destructive. You clean the garage again instead of picking your kids up from school. You work so long that you fall asleep driving home. Your obsession with skating rink blue ribbons destroys your relationship with your partner, with them leaving and screaming, "You never wanted me! You just wanted someone to watch you skate!" </p>

The Rhetoric of the Illusions <p><strong><em>Bierce is right to tone down the rhetoric of the illusions that are bestowed on us with ritual greetings or that are the seasoning of politics, advertising and even sometimes of a certain religiosity that is only consolatory, sentimental, curative. </em></strong></p><p><strong><em>The famous Greek orator Demosthenes (4th century BC) warned: "Nothing is easier than deluding yourself.

A New Playbook To Build Community <p>The existence of communities may be as old as humanity, but this idea and practice of viewing community as a driver of brand loyalty, customer referrals, and user acquisition in a commercial context are relatively new.

Astronomical Inf <p>Out of these eight instruments, Bhaskara was fond of Phalak yantra, which he made with skill and efforts. </p><p>He argued that „ this yantra will be extremely useful to astronomers to calculate accurate time and understand many astronomical phenomena‟.</p><p>Interestingly, Bhaskara ii also talks about astronomical information by using an ordinary stick. One can use the stick and its shadow to find the time to fix geographical north, south, east, and west. One can find the latitude of a place by measuring the minimum length of the shadow on the equinoctial days or pointing the stick towards the North Pole</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
4. Your potential increases with age. <p>As people get older, they tend to think that they can do less and less — when in reality, they should be able to do more and more, because they have had time to soak up more knowledge. Being great at something is a daily habit. You aren’t just “born” that way.</p>
The United Kingdom And The Great Depression <p>Already struggling with four years of war, Britain was trying to recover when the crash occurred, and reeled in it for a decade, only to participate in another expensive and deadly World War: WW II.</p> <p>The Great Depression was mostly felt by the North of England as well as the industrial centres across Britain, resulting in protests from the part of shipbuilders and different industrial workers. The recovery began only by the end of the decade, pretty late, if we are to take into consideration that another world war was to break out.</p>
<p>Now to be sure, the poor and disenfranchised amongst us suffer greatly. Some lack access to basic resources. Some are held down by systemic forces. Some are buffeted by adversity that we cannot even imagine. </p><p>And we think, if we can just be the opposite of that, then everything will be great. In many ways, that is at the root of our pursuit of fame and fortune. And yet, it’s worth noting that the people we envy, who have reached the pinnacle of success as we have defined it, are hardly as free as we think. </p>

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.</p>
The new minimalism <p><i>In part, the new minimalism is a kind of cultural aftershock of the 2008 housing crisis and banking collapse.

The past as our teacher <p>In the past, collapse was within a region. Today the world is deeply interconnected and interdependent, making societal collapse more treacherous.</p> <ul> <li>The weapons available today range from biological agents to nuclear weapons.</li> <li>People produce food and essential goods in an increasingly specialized manner. Climate change may damage our ability to return to simple farming practices.</li> </ul> <p>With all the advances, any collapse could result in an existential risk. But we will only collapse if we advance blindly and are unwilling to look at the past.</p>
Gender Inequality: Conscious Exclusions <p>Conscious “excluders,” who despite various corporate interventions, continue to treat some folks differently due to their social group membership, may help explain the recent stagnation in progress toward gender equality in organizational leadership.</p><p> Excluders disadvantage women’s employment opportunities, perpetuating inequality in various ways. This exclusion isn’t exclusive to gender diversity. </p><p><strong>These five practices can detect the bad apples who exclude women, mothers, childfree women, people with disabilities, members of racial and ethnic minorities, mature employees, LGBTQ+ persons, etc.</strong></p>

The hero's journey: Meeting with the mentor <p>In most hero's stories, the hero is busy in an everyday world when they get called to an adventure. Initially, they will be reluctant, either not feeling equipped for the task or too comfortable with life as it is. </p> <p><strong>The mentor will hand the hero supplies, knowledge, and the confidence required to face the adventure</strong>. When the story seems to direct to a dead-end, mentors are the ones who provide aid, advice, or magical equipment. <strong>Mentors show that we often learn life's lessons from someone else.</strong></p>

Good Design is Simple <p>In math, simplicity means that a shorter proof tends to be a better one. Where axioms are concerned, especially, less is more. It means much the same thing in programming. For architects and designers it means that beauty should depend on a few carefully chosen structural elements rather than a profusion of superficial ornament.</p><p><strong>When you're forced to be simple, you're forced to face the real problem. When you can't deliver ornament, you have to deliver substance.</strong></p>
<p>And keep in mind that the color that you feel the best in is unique to you; if you feel most confident in gray, then there's a good chance you look best in gray too. Psychologist Bethany Cook explains this perfectly. "Our personal affinity for certain colors may be closely tied to our cultural and/or life experiences, so your experience may not fall into the typical norms of 'red makes me feel strong' and 'blue makes me feel calm," she told Real Simple. </p>
Denmark is one of the happiest nations <p>In 2016, Denmark was ranked as the happiest nation globally, even though it is dark for 16 hours a day in midwinter.</p> <p>The annual World Happiness Report assesses <strong>criteria such as per capita income, life expectancy, people's freedom to make life decisions, generosity, social support, and government and business corruption.</strong></p>
Minimalist Management <p>Perhaps it could have been phrased a bit more eloquently, but if we boil it down and study Michael Scott during the day to day at Dunder Mifflin Scranton, we begin to notice a style: simplicity and minimalism.</p><p>"Don't ever, for any reason, do anything to anyone for any reason ever...."</p><p>While some may disagree, I've noticed that Michael seems to essentially leave his employees alone, trusting them to do their jobs.</p>
13. Escape into fantasy worlds <p>Perhaps unsurprisingly, global uncertainty has led to a <a href="https://www.foresightfactory.co/trends-report/">boom in escapism </a>, and all signs point to this continuing strongly into the next decade. Fantasy can and will take various forms, including long-form immersive gaming experiences, ketamine’s recreational popularity and new acceptance as a clinical treatment, and increasing commercial emphasis on the worlds of young adult literature and its spin offs across media.</p>
Limited Information: The Importance of Feedback <p>Experience, good information, and prompt feedback are key factors that enable people to make good decisions. </p><ul><li><em>Climate change, for example, has been cited as a particularly challenging problem in relation to experience and feedback. Climate change is invisible, diffuse, and a long-term process. Pro-environmental behavior by an individual, such as reducing carbon emissions, does not lead to a noticeable change. </em></li><li><em>The same is true in the domain of health. Feedback in this area is often poor, and we are more likely to get feedback on previously chosen options than rejected ones.</em></li></ul>
4. Chak De India <p>Enjoy the gripping, close-to-life story of a Hockey Team lead by an ex-Captain to get them to bring home Hockey World Cup. Filled with all the possible machinations and twists & turns which would deter the team from winning the prestigious mega-event, the Coach who is looking for a vindication with the help of this esoteric mix of girls from all over the country, gets it right, and how! A very inspiring and laudable effort to showcase the state of Hockey in our country, which does not exactly encourage players and viewers of this extremely difficult sport.</p>
Ancient Rome: The optimates and the populares <p>Rome was divided across the class line. <strong>The ruling class called themselves</strong> <strong><em>optimates</em></strong> <strong>(the best men)</strong>. They favoured the power of the Senate of Rome and the superiority of the ruling class.</p> <p><strong>The lower classes were known as the</strong> <strong><em>populares</em></strong> <strong>(the people).</strong> They favoured reform and democratisation of the Roman Republic.</p>
Leaving The Companies And Giving Reasons On Social Media <p>Google, Facebook, multi-level marketing companies (MLMs), and “The Big 4” management consulting firms are also popular targets—with alumni skewering their former employers in extensive, detailed, no-holds-barred, direct-to-camera testimonials. </p> <p>Meanwhile, on TikTok, shorter-form [#iquit] hot takes range from earnest to emotional—sometimes even veering into mockery.</p>
Atomization <p><em>The web does not create a public.”</em> On the contrary: <em>“The informatization of reality leads to its atomization — separated spheres of what is thought to be true.” </em></p><p>Instead of the basis for a common narrative, truth becomes a subjective projection of those isolated from each other.</p><p>He goes on: <em>“This has highly deleterious consequences for the democratic process. Social media intensify this kind of communication without community. You cannot forge a public sphere out of influencers and followers.” </em></p><p><br></p>
Rock & Roll <p>Growing up in the 50's was a blessing due to a strange beast called Rock & Roll, the sound of which was a siren call to many, and the negative reaction given by the parents was like a certification of authenticity for the beautiful, edgy tunes.</p> <p>According to American pianist Fats Domino, Rock & Roll is essentially Rhythm & Blues, as that was the main inspiration of most of the 50's rockers.</p>
5. Use Diverse Images <p>Stock images are known to often feature middle-class caucasians. </p><p>It’s not enough to just write in an inclusive manner. People will identify with your company & product more when they see people like themselves included in your content marketing efforts. It also makes it clear that you are writing for them specifically.</p><p>Make your blog posts more exclusive by including photos of people from different backgrounds. That can include people of color, non-traditional families, & people of different sizes & abilities.</p><p><br></p>
Lie: Money Is the Only Type of Wealth <p><strong>In reality, there are 5 types of wealth:</strong></p><ul><li>Financial (money)</li><li>Social (relationships)</li><li>Physical (health)</li><li>Mental (health, knowledge, faith)</li><li>Time (freedom)</li></ul><p>The blind pursuit of financial wealth can rob you of the others. Never let that happen.</p>

The economic significance of Black Friday <ul> <li>The sales registered on Black Friday are frequently seen as <strong>a litmus test for the overall economic situation of the country and a way for economists to assess the confidence of the average American.</strong></li> <li>Those who follow the <strong>Keynesian hypothesis that spending drives economic activity</strong> view lower Black Friday sales figures as a harbinger of slower growth.</li> <li>Some investors and analysts look at Black Friday numbers as a way to <strong>gaugemeasure the overall health of the entire retail industry.</strong></li> <li>Others suggest that <strong>it only causes very short-term gains or losses.</strong></li> </ul>

The death of the multi-camera sitcom <p>Until then, a sitcom usually functioned like a filmed play, with multiple cameras in fixed positions capturing the action of a sitcom taping, usually in front of a live audience.</p><p><i>But as time passed by, Seinfeld inserted even more single-camera sequences into the action and it broke up its stories into smaller and smaller pieces, presaging the joke-a-second pace that most single-camera sitcoms run at today</i>.<br></p>
4.1 The industrial origins of the coronavirus <p>The Coronavirus is not Vector-Borne, but Zoonotic — passed from animals to humans. There's no specific link between climate change and the Coronavirus. But there can be little doubt that climate change has increased the risk identified here. China’s particular vulnerability is related to rapid industrial growth, urban expansion, and how these factors have brought human populations into contact with animals carrying diseases. T</p>
#4. Introduce Features as “Magic Gifts” for Overcoming Obstacles to the Promised Land <p>Successful sales decks follow the same narrative structure as epic films and fairy tales. When you introduce your product or service, do so by positioning its capabilities like the Lightsaber, Wizardry and spells. It's the foundation for an engaging conversation with prospects about why it's so hard to reach the promised land with traditional solutions.</p>
Understand your topic <p>Before writing in general, it’s essential to understand your topic and what you are trying to achieve.</p><ul><li><strong>What is the product/service/brand/thing? </strong>Describe it in simple terms with two to three sentences. </li><li><strong>What makes it unique or special? </strong>What features make it different from the alternatives out there? </li><li><strong>What benefits appeal most to your audience? </strong>People want to know what is in it for them. </li><li><strong>Does it alleviate pain? </strong>People typically buy for one of two reasons; to <em>increase pleasure </em>or to <em>minimize pain</em>. </li></ul>
The Three Purusharths <p>whatever is sought by human beings these are not specific to any āśrama or varṇa but common to all. The Vedas say the three human pursuits of artha(wealth), kāma(pleasures), liberation from worldly ills (mokṣa) must have dharma as their foundation.</p><p><br></p><p>In this context, dharma refers to, human values like compassion, truth, charity, forgiveness, self-restraint, and so on.</p>
Communication Without Community <p>As you suggest in your question, another reason for the crisis of community, which is a crisis of democracy, is digitalization. </p><p>Digital communication redirects the flows of communication. Information is spread without forming a public sphere. It is produced in private spaces and distributed to private spaces. The web does not create a public. </p><p>This has highly deleterious consequences for the democratic process. Social media intensify this kind of communication without community. You cannot forge a public sphere out of influencers and followers. </p>
<p>Let's think about how we assess truth.</p><p>In general, humans determine info to be true based on 1 of 2 factors:</p><p>• Does this statement align with my previously held belief or understanding? (Rationale)</p><p>OR</p><p>• Have I come in contact with this information before?</p><p>(Familiarity)</p>
Story Writing Tips <p>Follow the <strong>S.C.E.N.E.</strong></p><p><strong>Simplicity</strong>- It should be simple to understand. </p><p><strong>Cohesiveness</strong>- The incidents should be cohesive.</p><p><strong>Enunciation</strong>- Express clearly and in details.</p><p><strong>Notes</strong>- Keep notes as the facts should match in different parts of the story.</p><p><strong>Ending</strong>- The climax has got to be a memorable content.</p>
Progress and setbacks <p><i>There are lots of overnight tragedies. There are rarely overnight miracles.</i><br></p><p><b>Progress happens too slowly for people to notice; setbacks happen too fast for people to ignore.</b> Growth means compounding and that always takes time. Destruction is driven by single points of failure, which can happen in seconds.<br></p>
Pass the Mic to Amplify <p>Become aware of who is considered a visionary and who is seen as a follower. Once you intentionally observe, you will notice that it’s largely white people and men who are given the floor to air ideas or ask questions.</p><p>Whenever possible, call on women of colour in meetings or other settings to share their ideas, especially if you are facilitating the gathering. Avoid tokenizing behaviour, however, or just taking this action as a symbolic gesture to signal that you’re including women of colour in the moment. </p>
Miniature items were invented for adults <p>Originally, dollhouses were not conceived as toys. The first baby-houses of 17th century Germany and Holland weren't even for children. They were objects for wealthy adult women to fill with expensive creations.</p><p><br></p><p>The first "playing" dollhouses were kitchens with miniature pans and copper kettles the size of a thumb to teach small girls how to keep house. It was only when girls started having fun that it became an object of play.</p>
<p>It seems that kindness always works the same way. Intentional expression of an act of kindness to other people will generate more kindness in this world.</p><p><br></p><p>In today’s society, people have this traditional tendency to assess others on a plethora of somewhat superficial measures, specifically wealth, success, and attractiveness. Most of the time, money, beauty, and power are the determinants of how famous or popular a person is because these are quantifiable or external attributes that have been carrying the most cultural currency.</p>
Ancient Greek Philosophy <ul><li>Ancient Greek philosophy <strong>extends from as far as the seventh century B.C. up until the beginning of the Roman Empire</strong>, in the first century A.D.</li><li><strong>It distinguishes itself</strong> from other early forms of philosophical and theological theorizing <strong>for its emphasis on reason as opposed to the senses or the emotions.</strong></li><li>During this period five great philosophical traditions originated: <strong>the Platonist, the Aristotelian, the Stoic, the Epicurean, and the Skeptic.</strong></li><li><strong>Favorite themes</strong> include the principle of reality, the good; the life worth being lived; the distinction between appearance and reality, etc.</li></ul>
Easter in Greece <p><strong>Eastern Orthodox communities follow the Julian calendar's holiday schedule instead of the Gregorian's.</strong> </p><ul><li><em>The Holy Fire, which is said to emit from the tomb of Jesus Christ every Holy Saturday, is flown from Jerusalem to Athens and then delivered throughout Greece. </em></li><li><em>During midnight church service, the flame is passed from the priest to worshippers’ candles. People say Christ has risen" and "Truly, He has risen".</em></li><li><em>Easter marks the end of 40 days of fasting, and the dishes served that day are appropriately indulgent and symbolic: roasted lamb, sweet and fluffy braided bread, and red hard-boiled eggs.</em></li></ul>
Simplify your language <p><em>“Simplification is the highest sophistication” </em>, said Leonardo Da Vinci. When it comes to writing, this is especially true. It's advisable to avoid using industry jargon if your audience is unlikely to comprehend it. If a technical word is required, define it as plainly as possible. Some technical terminology or abbreviations, such as CSS (Cascading Styles Sheet), can't always be deciphered from context; make sure to define them ahead of time so your readers don't become confused. </p>
4. Slow and simple, is the only way, to feel the joy of what it means to be alive. <p>Slow down and simplify your life. Otherwise, you’ll rush through it, arrive at the end and wonder, “what was the point?” This teaching is quite simple, but its immediate and long-term implications are profound.</p><p>Slowing down is the antidote to living in a rhythm of rush. Slowing down is what helps you become a more observant person. Which then helps you become more self-aware.</p><p>As you slow down, you begin creating the space for you to pause and reflect, to wonder and ask questions. You naturally become more present.</p>
Origins Of Perfume <p><strong>The origin of perfume is commonly attributed to the ancient Egyptians.</strong> They utilized scents to celebrate prayers and religious ceremony by burning essential oils, resin, and perfumed unguents.</p> <p><strong>This practice had several functions:</strong> to ensure divinities’ protection and benevolence and to convey messages and prayers to the dead, to purify the body and to conduct embalming ceremonies.</p> <p>Over time, scents were not only confined to the sacred aspects, but they were also introduced in daily hygiene. Already at the time of the ancient Egypt there was an intense trade of spices, aromas and resins that were abundant in Egypt but also imported from distant lands such as the Middle East, Arabia and the Indians lands. <strong>From these trades were imported fine woods, scented resins, myrrh and incense that made up some of the main ingredients of the scents of the time.</strong></p>
The Aloha Spirit Law <p>Passed in 1986 by Hawai‘i lawmakers, the “Aloha Spirit” law is recognized as “<strong>the working philosophy of native Hawaiians . . . presented as a gift to the people of Hawai‘i</strong>.”</p><p>It was written by Aunty Pilahi Paki, after she foresaw a 21st century world filled with bitter conflict, a world that will look to Hawai‘i for healing.</p><p>Aloha would be its remedy.</p><p><em>According to the law, all Hawai‘i citizens and government officials must conduct themselves with aloha.</em></p>
4. Don’t go home right after a wake. <p>In the Philippines, you usually make a pitstop after a wake to “shake off” the bad spirit, whether that be a fast food place or even just a coffee shop. The idea is that you need to keep the bad spirits away from your house and that you can’t let it come in.</p>
Good Design Can Copy <p>The ambitious are not content to <strong>imitate</strong>. This growth of taste is a conscious attempt at originality.</p><p>The greatest masters go on to achieve a kind of selflessness. They just want to get the right answer, and if part of the right answer has already been discovered by someone else, that's no reason not to use it. They're confident enough to take from anyone without feeling that their own vision will be lost in the process.</p>
<p>But red is also known as the most "intense" color — it can indicate urgency, which is why stop signs are red, as well as "order now" buttons and other marketing tools that aim for consumers to act fast. Red can also indicate aggression. According to Jennifer Hettema, senior clinical director at LifeStance Health, "In both animals and humans, red can indicate the release of hormones associated with aggression and serve as a signal of dominance to others. In fact, many studies have documented a 'red effect' whereby athletes or teams that wear red seem to have a slight advantage when compared to other colors" (via Real Simple).</p>
Limit the time spent reading news <p><span>“Headline anxiety” is a growing problem. </span></p><p>One way to reduce the impact of the non-stop news cycle is to use screen-time trackers, available for most smartphones, <b>to limit the time you spend reading or watching the news on your mobile.</b></p>
The Beatles: Live music concerts <p>Live music concerts were held at stadiums in America, including a show in 1965 at Shea Stadium, to a record 55,600 fans. But after four years of constant recording, touring, and more than 1,400 live appearances, life finally started to take its toll. The last performance was at Candlestick Park, San Francisco, in August 1966.</p> <p>The Beatles now turned to the studio and recorded six studio LPs from 1966-1970, starting with <em>Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.</em></p>
Sensitive to Sensitivity <p>Young Adult novels are especially sensitive to sensitivity; my 2004 teenage novel Sugar Rush probably wouldn’t be allowed today, as one of the young lesbians would need to be trans and I wouldn’t, as a white woman, be allowed to write a mixed-race heroine.</p><p> (Oddly, the demographic which is most ‘sensitive’ about fictional violence is the same one which favours as a leisure pursuit what I call ‘Netflix and kill’: the true-crime genre – deaths of real people rendered down into entertainment.)</p>
Learn To Imagine Looking At Simple Objects <p><br></p><p>If there's one thing that you won't find on the internet or any references website is your imagination. </p><p>Learn to look at simple objects like a cup or a bowl and imagine what it could be like, if it's size was doubled, it's texture was changed etc. </p><p>A bowl could be like a skating park or rink, whatever you call it, if I wanted it to be that way. </p><p>Finding shapes and making faces from clouds is one easy and free way to get yourself started with.

The popularity of Sunday brunch <p><strong>The word "brunch" first appeared in print in an 1895 Hunter's Weekly article</strong>. The author suggested an alternative to the post-church Sunday meals favouring a lighter meal served late in the morning.</p> <p><strong>Brunch is a tradition that became popular in the United States in the 1930s</strong>. After WWII, large numbers of American married women entered the workforce. But they needed some relief on Sunday, thus the rise in popularity of Sunday brunch.</p>
Sanitation - Parameters of Comparison <ul><li><strong>Refers to</strong>: It refers to good healthy living, which is achieved by preventing man from garbage contacting.</li><li><strong>Emphasis</strong>: Purely on the whole society.</li><li><strong>About</strong>: All about managing the garbage and wastes produced by humans.</li><li><strong>Concept</strong>: This concept combines the cleanliness of society as a whole.</li><li><strong>Importance</strong>: It is related to the disposal of garbage surrounding humans.</li><li><strong>Characteristic</strong>: It is for the garbage and wastes surrounding men.</li></ul>
Mardi Gras Incorporated Into Christianity <p><em>When Christianity arrived in Rome, religious leaders decided to incorporate the pagan celebrations of spring and fertility into the new faith. This was an easier task than to abolish them altogether.</em></p> <p>Consequently, the excess and debauchery of Mardi Gras season became a prelude to Lent - the 40 days of fasting and penance between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday.</p>
3. Consider More Things As Art. <p>Anything within the context of art is art. It might make you roll your eyes to think about a highly paid artist flinging paint at a canvas like a toddler. But much as John Cage taught us the difference between noise and sound, seeing art that you disagree with can challenge your notions, or help you suss out your beliefs.</p>
Slow Living Consumer Trend <p>The trend of slowing down and doing things at a more leisurely pace is not new to history. It has been in the past and we can see it today.</p><p>The slow living trend is not just about the way people live their lives, but also about how they consume products.</p><p>Slow living can be seen as a reaction to the fast-paced society that most of us live in today. By adopting this lifestyle, consumers are able to take back control of their lives and enjoy things at a slower pace.</p>
Black History Month: Why February was chosen <p>Carter G. Woodson chose the second week in February specifically because the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln (February 12) and Frederick Douglass (February 14) were during that period. <strong>The publicity led many mayors and college campuses to recognise the week.</strong></p> <p>In 1976, President Gerald Ford made Black History Month official, urging people to <strong>use the opportunity to honour the often neglected accomplishments of black Americans.</strong></p>
The Impact On Culture <p>Television and all other forms of media have an impact on our thoughts, opinions, and behaviours. There is no doubt that what we take in for entertainment and information influences the way we think about the world around us. Our minds are designed to synthesize boatloads of information every day, from our interactions with others to the books we read and the entertainment we seek out. We make sense of the world through these pieces of information we gather, and this impacts how we live our lives every day.</p>
What is missing from romantic fiction <p>Our art is full of omissions. For example, in so many romantic stories, <b>the whole business of work is rarely viewed as relevant to the enduring of a relationship</b>. Yet, in reality, part of the rationale of any relationship is to enable two people to function as a stable joint economic unit for the education of the next generation. </p>
Conclusion <p>People do some actions <em><u>subconsciously(without giving much thought)</u></em> & when they start <em>thinking of reason <u>(</u></em><u>overthinking)</u> , they get distracted from giving 100% of their brain power to the present task which results in<em><u> 'CLUTTERED' </u></em>work,<em>spending more time</em> than usual,ultimately not satisfactory output.</p><p>ALSO, due to this the person cannot achieve "<em>STATE OF FLOW</em>".</p>
A Solar Eclipse <p><strong>A solar eclipse is when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun.</strong> The moon's shadow falls on the Earth's surface and blocks out the sun's light as we see it from the Earth.</p> <p>The moon crosses the Earth's orbital plane only <strong>twice a year</strong> because the moon orbits the Earth at an angle. For an eclipse to take place, the moon must be in the correct phase. <strong>For a solar eclipse, it must be a new moon.</strong></p>
