10 Eating Rules French Children Know (But Most Americans Don't) How the French eat, age, dress, raise their children and live in general is a real talking point these days. So, as an American mother of three half-French kids, I figured I'd add my two cents to the conversation. I lived in France before becoming a parent, but eventually it was my kids who taught me everything I need to know about eating like a French person: Eating, and staying slim and healthy, isn't just about what you eat, but also how, when and why. Yes, French people enjoy junk food occasionally, and sometimes they eat between meals, but people don’t just let loose every day. 1. Three meals a day, plus the children’s traditional after-school “gouter,” or snack, which might be a pain au chocolat, fruit or applesauce. When mealtimes roll around, you eat with real pleasure because you’re hungry. 2. Consuming three meals a day without grazing in between means you can eat well when you sit down at the table — and that includes a starter, main course, cheese and dessert. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
4 Things We Have Wrong About Creativity “Creativity” may not be the first word that comes to mind when you hear the word “conglomerate.” But Christian Stadil, CEO and co-owner of Denmark-based Thornico, a sprawling enterprise with holdings in food, technology, shipping, and others, will likely change your mind about that. Stadil is so enthusiastic about the concept of creativity that he has co-authored a new book with psychology professor Lenne Tanggaard, who teaches at the University of Aalborg in Denmark. Creativity Myth #1: You should think outside the box. Most creative breakthroughs, including ideas and products, come from well-trod areas within your own expertise, Stadil says. That kind of far-flung disconnect isn’t likely to lead to relevant new ideas. Creativity Myth #2: Big ideas come to you when you are trying to work out the problem While it may seem like breakthroughs come in a rush and tumble of ideas, true inspiration typically comes when our minds aren’t clogged with extraneous thoughts.
Les 5 modes de gestion des conflits en entreprise Vous avez des divergences d’opinions, de valeurs et d’intérêts avec vos collaborateurs. Cette situation vous stresse et génère beaucoup de pertes de temps, vous vous sentez dans l’obligation expresse de le régler. Eh bien dites vous que c’est normal. Le conflit au boulot, c'est quoi ? Le conflit est une composante de la vie de tous les jours et il est inévitable. Heureusement nous ne vivons pas tous les jours de graves conflits et nous gérons bien souvent les plus anodins sans nous en rendre compte. Un conflit peut se définir comme une situation ou des acteurs organisationnels poursuivent des buts différents, défendent des valeurs contradictoires, ont des intérêts différents ou opposés ou poursuivent simultanément le même but (bref, ils sont en compétition). Il va de soi que l’on ne gère pas un conflit avec un collaborateur comme on le ferait avec un inconnu. Solution 1 : la collaboration Solutions 2 et 3 : l'accommodation et le compromis Solutions 4 et 5 : l'évitement ou la compétition

This is a simple constraint satisfaction problem. The result is a network with five paths.

Perché non abolire la carne di cavallo dai menù Per aver detto di amare la carne equina, Maria Elena Boschi è stata aspramente criticata da chi vorrebbe eleggere il cavallo ad animale d’affezione. Pubblicato La ministra delle Riforme Maria Elena Boschi è stata bersaglio di polemiche per aver mangiato e gradito una pietanza a base di carne di cavallo, il Tordo matto, offertale alla Festa dell’Unità di Zagarolo, Roma, lo scorso venerdì. Apprezzato l’assaggio, la Boschi si è lasciata scappare la frase: “A Roma si fa fatica a trovare carne di cavallo”. Un putiferio. Ho già avuto modo di spiegare il mio punto di vista sulla questione degli animali migliori di altri, ad esempio sulle critiche mosse al Giappone perché si nutre di delfini, considerati belli e intelligenti, e quindi più simili a noi. Tralasciando la posizione di Brambilla, e dopo aver specificato che non è vero che la carne di cavallo è proibita negli Usa (come invece si vocifera sulla questione), vorrei commentare la reazione dell’Enpa.
Debunking the Myth of the 10,000-Hours Rule: What It Actually Takes to Reach Genius-Level Excellence by Maria Popova How top-down attention, feedback loops, and daydreaming play into the science of success. The question of what it takes to excel — to reach genius-level acumen at a chosen endeavor — has occupied psychologists for decades and philosophers for centuries. Groundbreaking research has pointed to “grit” as a better predictor of success than IQ, while psychologists have admonished against the dangers of slipping into autopilot in the quest for skill improvement. The “10,000-hour rule” — that this level of practice holds the secret to great success in any field — has become sacrosanct gospel, echoed on websites and recited as litany in high-performance workshops. Illustration by Vladimir Radunsky from Mark Twain's 'Advice to Little Girls.' The secret to continued improvement, it turns out, isn’t the amount of time invested but the quality of that time. Hours and hours of practice are necessary for great performance, but not sufficient. Donating = Loving Share on Tumblr
Favorisez les rencontres : 8 astuces pour améliorer l'ambiance dans votre boîte - JDN Guillaume Victor-Thomas a profité du déménagement d'Ecotour.com pour installer une cafétéria de 60 mètres carrés au cœur de l'entreprise. "Cela a permis de recréer un véritable esprit d'équipe, en favorisant les déjeuners entre collaborateurs", note le dirigeant. Trop souvent, les entreprises privilégient l'optimisation de l'espace au détriment d'un lieu de vie commun, de telle sorte que les échanges entre salariés se cantonnent au domaine professionnel. Difficile dans de telles conditions de développer un esprit d'entreprise. Les échanges sont aussi utiles entre niveaux hiérarchiques.
101 Ways to Be Healthy Do the healthy thing, even when it's challenging, inconvenient or considered weird. Take pride in that. Just because it's popular doesn't mean it's smart or good for you. Enlist fellow trend buckers and create a trend of your own. Use your healthy frustration about the unhealthy status quo to spark creativity and determination. Don't be boring.
