Templeton Prize | The John Templeton Foundation What is the best way to live? How large is God? How are finite beings related to the infinite? What was God's purpose in creating the universe? Purpose The Templeton Prize honors a living person who has made an exceptional contribution to affirming life's spiritual dimension, whether through insight, discovery, or practical works. Men and women of any creed, profession, or national origin may be nominated for the Templeton Prize. What these remarkable people have shared is a commitment to exploring one or more of the Big Questions at the core of the John Templeton Foundation's mandate. Criteria The qualities sought in a Templeton Prize nominee include creativity and innovation, rigor and impact. These fields do not exhaust the areas in which achievement might qualify for the Templeton Prize, nor is it necessary for a nominee's work to be confined to just one field.
Is Emotional Intelligence Overrated? Forget IQ versus EQSix Seconds After 100 years of research, there’s little agreement on the definition of intelligence or how to measure IQ. Yet Adam Grant insists cognitive skill trumps all, and “Emotional Intelligence Is Overrated.” His critique is wrong, but important. His latest post on LinkedIN is a follow up to his Atlantic piece on “The Dark Side of Emotional Intelligence,” where he warns it’s risky to develop emotional competence. For example, he even speculates that Hitler used emotional intelligence to manipulate people into a frenzy of mindless loyalty. Framing this as “IQ versus EQ” demonstrates neither. Traditional psychological research has treated emotion and cognition as separate, even competitive. Emotions Drive People That said, in the human brain, no signal is more powerful than emotion. Science is a process of mounting evidence. The Evidence for Emotional Intelligence This year, for the first time, a “big data” approach was used to assess the significance of emotional intelligence around the globe.
What is a Subnet Mask? An IP address has two components, the network address and the host address. A subnet mask separates the IP address into the network and host addresses (<network><host>). Subnetting further divides the host part of an IP address into a subnet and host address (<network><subnet><host>) if additional subnetwork is needed. Use the Subnet Calculator to retrieve subnetwork information from IP address and Subnet Mask. It is called a subnet mask because it is used to identify network address of an IP address by perfoming a bitwise AND operation on the netmask. A Subnet mask is a 32-bit number that masks an IP address, and divides the IP address into network address and host address. Examples of commonly used netmasks for classed networks are 8-bits (Class A), 16-bits (Class B) and 24-bits (Class C), and classless networks are as follows: Subnetting an IP network is to separate a big network into smaller multiple networks for reorganization and security purposes.

Emotional vs Intellectual Words I have written about persuasive writing in an article where I discuss Ethos, Logos, Pathos. Persuasive writers use words to convince the reader to listen or to act. I found this useful list of words in an interesting article called Common words that suck emotional power out of your content by John Gregory Olson. He explains how words have emotions attached to them, and that you should choose the correct ones for the response you want to elicit from your reader. Use these words if you want to get an emotional, rather than an intellectual, response from your readers. Click on the link to read the full article. by Amanda Patterson © Amanda Patterson
WWW.SINA.COM Repressed Emotions Ryan Brown, ContributorWaking Times A common way in which we deal with unpleasant emotions is to suppress or ignore them. These are normal coping mechanisms our minds uses to handle situations we don’t particularly want to deal with in the present moment. When strong emotions come into our consciousness, there is often something inside of us which says, “This is going to ruin my happiness right now and I don’t like that, so I’ll just deal with it later.” It is a basic law of the universe that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change form. This ‘dust’ is actually emotional energy that resonates with the repressed emotion. This internal pressure of repressed emotions is what many of us are afraid to look at. When an emotional trauma occurs, there is the choice to either deal with it effectively or to turn away from it. The Good News The good news is that we don’t have to wait for a complete nervous breakdown to start letting these repressed emotions go. About the Author
Subnetwork Creating a subnet by dividing the host identifier A subnetwork, or subnet, is a logical, visible subdivision of an IP network.[1] The practice of dividing a network into two or more networks is called subnetting. The routing prefix is expressed in CIDR notation. It is written as the first address of a network, followed by a slash character (/), and ending with the bit-length of the prefix. For example, 192.168.1.0/24 is the prefix of the Internet Protocol Version 4 network starting at the given address, having 24 bits allocated for the network prefix, and the remaining 8 bits reserved for host addressing. The benefits of subnetting an existing network vary with each deployment scenario. Network addressing and routing[edit] Computers participating in a network such as the Internet each have at least one logical address. For the purpose of network management, an IP address is divided into two logical parts, the network prefix and the host identifier or rest field. IPv4 subnetting[edit]
Emotional Intelligence: The Social Skills You Weren't Taught in School Sphère de Dyson Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Bien que Dyson ait été le premier à formaliser et populariser le concept de sphère de Dyson, l’idée lui est venue en 1945 après la lecture d'un roman de science-fiction d'Olaf Stapledon intitulée Star Maker (Créateur d'étoiles, 1937). Dyson a également été influencé par la sphère imaginée par le Britannique John Desmond Bernal en 1929. Dans son article, Dyson explique qu'une telle sphère est un moyen idéal pour une civilisation très avancée de faire face à un accroissement démographique exponentiel. Il la décrit comme une coquille enserrant son étoile parente, captant la quasi intégralité de sa radiation solaire. Dyson, mais aussi d'autres auteurs après lui, ont décrit les propriétés de cette sphère, aussi bien concernant sa composition, sa température, sa localisation au sein de son système solaire, voire sa capacité de déplacement. Plusieurs programmes de recherche de possibles sphères de Dyson ont été menés depuis 1985. Freeman J.
