5 Strategies For Creating A Genius Mindset In Students How Can We Help Every Student Tap Their Inner Genius? by Zacc Dukowitz, Learnbop.com When we hear the word genius, certain people come immediately to mind—Albert Einstein in mathematics, or Warren Buffett in investing—but what exactly sets these people apart? It’s easy to simply shrug and say to ourselves, “Those people are just different. They have something most people don’t, and it’s as simple as that.” But the steps taken to arrive at a place of genius are actually more concrete, and have less to do with innate talent, than you might think. When it comes to cultivating intelligence, mindset is a huge factor. What is “Mindset”? Mindset refers to the beliefs you have about yourself and your basic qualities. Crucial opportunities for the application of good mindset habits occur in the classroom every day. And students who are—well, they may in fact be better positioned to become the next Einstein. The Characteristics of Genius Shifting Mindset 1) Change your Own Mindset 2) Change the Emphasis
Apprendre à communiquer Ah la communication… Communiquer, le verbe qui effraie souvent l’entrepreneur, ou la petite entreprise. Communiquer, c’est cher, on ne sait pas comment faire ni quoi faire. Alors, on ne fait rien. Dans le meilleur des cas, le pire devrais-je dire, ça ouvre un compte Twitter, ou une page Facebook, et ça envoi un truc ici où là, un peu à la va comme j’te pousse, et advienne que pourras ! L’idéal pour bien se mettre une balle dans le pied, voire deux. Dès fois que la première ai loupé la cible. Cerise sur le gâteau, le blog… Ah le blog, bloguer, c’est facile, ça rapporte du fric rapidos, etc… Ouais, bien sûr. Alors, communiquer ? Si vous n’avez même pas 100 euros de budget pour communiquer autour de votre entreprise, vous avez déjà un gros problème. En économisant un peu sur le forfait mobile, ou l’abonnement aux 200 chaines de télé que vous ne regardez jamais, ou encore sur le caddie chez carrefour, en grappillant un peu de-ci, de-là, vous allez les trouver ces 100 euros. Ce qui me fait ?
40 Maps That Will Help You Make Sense of the World If you’re a visual learner like myself, then you know maps, charts and infographics can really help bring data and information to life. Maps can make a point resonate with readers and this collection aims to do just that. Hopefully some of these maps will surprise you and you’ll learn something new. A few are important to know, some interpret and display data in a beautiful or creative way, and a few may even make you chuckle or shake your head.

5 Things That Believers Can Do, But Atheists Can’t Atheists actually miss out on a lot of activities that religious believers can participate in. Let’s go through the list, and see what you think. 1. Child Molestation If you read the news at all, you will have seen country after country finally recognize that many Catholic priests abused, molested and in some cases raped children. Fundamentalist groups often follow strict observance of physical punishment for children. Jews and Muslims also ritually mutilate their sons’ bodies through the practice of circumcision. 2. It goes by the ritual name of being kosher or halal. I have read many apologist arguments that this is somehow not a cruel practice and that the animal dies very quickly. 3. Don’t you just love all the faith healers out there? 4. Isn’t it wonderful how believers can justify a position they have on the basis that they are being guided by their faith? How about evolution? 5. Manifest Destiny The American concept of “manifest destiny” falls somewhat into this category too.
How Technology Is Changing Our Brains A while back, Bill Keller of The New York Times stirred up a hornet’s nest when he wrote a column worrying that joining Facebook would have a debilitating effect on his 13 year-old daughter’s intellectual faculties. Technology advocates, including me, pounced. Now there are new studies out that seem to support his argument. One shows that using search engines decreases our memory and another suggests that GPS may atrophy our brains. Discovery magazine has collected a half-dozen similar examples on its site. I think the question itself is misplaced. What Makes An Expert? We come into the world not knowing much. We learn virtually everything that way, by combining low order patterns to form higher order ones. Experts define themselves by learning the highest order patterns through what Anders Ericsson, calls deliberate practice. In much the same way, surgeons spend years learning the patterns of the human body and experienced firemen become familiar with the patterns of burning buildings.
Arduino pour bien commencer en électronique et en programmation Bienvenue à toutes et à tous pour un tutoriel sur l'électronique et l'informatique ensemble ! Depuis que l’électronique existe, sa croissance est fulgurante et continue encore aujourd’hui. Si bien que faire de l’électronique est devenu accessible à toutes personnes en ayant l’envie. Mais, le manque de cours simples sur le net ou en libraire empêche la satisfaction des futurs électroniciens amateurs ou professionnels et parfois empêche certains génies à se révéler ( ). C’est pourquoi je souhaite intervenir contre cette insuffisance et écris ce cours sur l’électronique et la programmation. Ce que nous allons apprendre aujourd'hui est un mélange d'électronique et de programmation. Nous allons, dans un premier temps, voir ce qu'est l'électronique et la programmation. Plan du cours Je vais détailler un peu le plan du cours. Apprentissage des bases Le cours est composé de façon à ce que les bases essentielles soient regroupées dans les premières parties. Ce n'est pas tout !
Everything You've Been Told About How to Eat Is Wrong Photo Credit: Shutterstock.com/ Uros Zunic October 2, 2013 | Like this article? Join our email list: Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email. If you go to the National Institute of Health’s website today, you will find a section on a “ Healthy Eating Plan.” Nothing has changed over the past 36 years, except for this: everyone is fatter. The U.S. government began issuing dietary guidelines in 1977, when the Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs, led by Senator George McGovern, issued the first dietary recommendations for the American people. According to the Centers for Disease Control, obesity has more than doubled among adults since these dietary recommendations were put in place in the 1970s, and as of 2010, more than one-third of Americans were obese. Perhaps you’ve witnessed someone struggle with a diet, or struggled yourself. But there’s another explanation, one that’s gaining traction across the scientific community. But there were issues from the start.
Study explains how the brain remembers pleasure and its implications for addiction | Kaleidoscope - UAB Campus News Key details of the way nerve cells in the brain remember pleasure are revealed in a study by UAB researchers published today in the journal Nature Neuroscience. Furthermore, the molecular events that form such “reward memories” appear to differ from those created by drug addiction, despite the popular theory that addiction hijacks normal reward pathways. Brain circuits have evolved to encourage behaviors proven to help our species survive by attaching pleasure to them. Eating rich food tastes good because it delivers energy and sex is desirable because it creates offspring. The same systems also connect in our minds environmental cues with actual pleasures to form reward memories. This study in rats supports the idea that the mammalian brain features several memory types, each using different circuits, with memories accessed and integrated as needed. Methylation is the attachment of a methyl group (one carbon and three hydrogens) to a DNA chain at certain spots (cytosine bases).
