Books to breed tolerance: what children can read after the terrorist attacks in Paris | Children's books In the week of the tragic terrorist attacks that took place in Paris my youngest daughter (aged 10) came back from school with homework to research and write about a human rights concern in relation to children anywhere in the world. She already had a clear idea of what she wanted to research. I had the radio on and she listened to the news of the terrorist attacks that had taken place on the offices of the cartoonists Charlie Hebdo and the Kosher supermarket. I attempted to explain to her that these terrorist attacks were against the freedom for people to believe in what they believe in and to express what they think through their cartoons and words. “Why would the terrorists do that?” I could not have expressed it more clearly myself and her words echo article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights summarised here for the very young in We Are All born Free a picture book by Amnesty International.

How to Memorize Things Quickly People like to joke that the only thing you really “learn” in school is how to memorize. As it turns out, that’s not even the case for most of us. If you go around the room and ask a handful of people how to memorize things quickly, most of them will probably tell you repetition. That is so far from the truth, it’s running for office. Before we start, you need to establish something: are you an auditory, visual, or experiential learner? Step 1: Preparation To optimize your memorization session, pay close attention to which environment you choose. Next, start drinking some tea. As we get older, toxic chemicals will damage our neurons and synapses, leading to memory loss and even Alzheimer’s. Step 2: Record What You’re Memorizing This is especially useful if you’re trying to memorize information from a lecture. Step 3: Write Everything Down Before you start trying to recall everything from memory, write and re-write the information. Step 4: Section your notes. Step 9: Take a break

6 traits of highly successful corporate cultures Several studies confirm the correlation between corporate culture and financial performance, employee engagement and customer satisfaction. Companies such as P&G, Southwest Airlines, FedEx and Starbucks have been able to differentiate and excel in highly competitive markets in part by developing and sustaining healthy cultures. By the same token, the toxic cultures of firms such as GM, Blackberry and Air Canada have contributed to declining market performance. In short: culture matters. But what exactly is culture? A culture can be defined as the norms, practices, history and values of an organization — in other words: “how things are done around here.” These days, companies are looking to enhance their organizational life without turning their company inside out.

Ära ela unistustes: õpi olema see naine, keda kõik kadestavad! - DELFI Naistekas Mida tähendab olla naiselik, tõeliselt lummav naine — selline, kelle sära paistab nii kaugele, et kõik läheduses viibijad, sealhulgas ka naised vaikselt või isegi endamisi sositavad — kes ta on ja mida ta küll teeb, et ta niimoodi särab? See ei ole tema riiete ilu, ega ka mitte hoolitsetud olek. See on midagi palju enamat. Kogu see sisemine ilu, mis temast kiirgab, teeb ta tõeliselt eriliseks. Ma usun, et olete kõik selliseid naisi kohanud ja salamisi unistanud selline olla. Mõnikord on selle sära vallapäästmiseks väga vähe vaja, mõnikord natuke rohkem. Mis aitab kaasa sinu naiselikule arengule, et leida üles jumalanna enda sees? Naise teeb kauniks see, kui ta on enesekindel ja mõtleb ilusaid, positiivseid mõtteid ning räägib asjadest, mida ta armastab- siis tekib see eriline säde silmadesse. iigu ringi enesekindlalt ja graatsiliselt. Õpi ennast armastama. Tea, et sa ei pea olema pidevalt tugev ja kõigega hakkama saama. Puhasta oma meeled — tunneta erinevaid lõhnu, maitseid ja tundeid.
