Solomon Marcus: Zece nevoi umane de care educatia ar trebui sa tina seama | Contributors
Avem cele zece porunci. In complementaritate cu ele, propun zece nevoi umane. Ele isi au radacinile in copilarie. Ar fi trebuit sa faca obiectul educatiei si invatarii, la toate varstele. Dar nu prea se intampla acest lucru. Poate ne aude cineva; acum, la acest moment al unui nou inceput.
Why There’s No Such Thing as a Gifted Child
Even Einstein was unexceptional in his youth. A book questions our fixation with IQ and says adults can help almost any child become gifted.
VIDEO. PRECIS cu PressOne. Nicușor Dan: „Bucureștenii trebuie să simtă că orașul acesta le aparține”
Nicușor Dan, candidatul independent pentru Primăria Capitalei susținut de USR, a venit în studioul PressOne pentru a explica, tehnic și cât mai precis, cum va rezolva cele mai importante probleme ale Bucureștiului, odată ajuns primar.

Next to the competition | Seth’s Blog
Books sell better in bookstores than they sell in butcher shops. In a bookstore, surrounded by all the competition, a book is in the right place to be seen, compared and ultimately purchased and read.
Bolnavii cronici – care suferă de boli cardiovasculare, cancer, diabet, boli neurologice, tuberculoză, HIV/SIDA, boli rare etc – dar și pacienții care reprezintă urgențe medicale, ar urma să fie tratați în spitale private, fără să scoată niciun ban din buzunar. Statul promite că va deconta integral tratamentul lor, potrivit unei Ordonanțe de Urgență adoptate marți seară.
How to reduce ‘attention residue’ in your life – BBC Worklife
Mundane chores take up our time and headspace. Bundling life admin into specific time slots – known as GYLIO – might be the ultimate act of self-care.
Cineva mi-a atras atenția la articolul anterior că există acest feature în aplicația STB și am zis să scriu despre asta pentru că este un lucru senzațional și util mai ales dacă ai o stație de tranport public în apropierea casei/biroului.
Din păcate vorbesc aici doar de București, nu știu de restul companiilor de transport în comun din alte orașe.
How to Control Your Mind | Psychology Today
The first step is to become aware of the automaticity of your thought process and what makes it noisy and confusing. You can do it right now, and right here. All you need is a pen, a paper, and a minute to spare.
Simply write down a string of thoughts that emerge when you give your mind free reign for one minute.
The Best Board Games of the Ancient World | Science | Smithsonian Magazine
And 5,000 years ago, in what is now southeast Turkey, a group of Bronze Age humans created an elaborate set of sculpted stones hailed as the world’s oldest gaming pieces upon their discovery in 2013. From Go to backgammon, Nine Men’s Morris and mancala, these were the cutthroat, quirky and surprisingly spiritual board games of the ancient world.
The Key to a Good Life? Lose Yourself in Something.
The specific craft need not matter. For some it may be running, for others sculpting, cooking, or playing the cello. What does matter is that you respect and honor the traditions of the craft, pursue long-term progress in it, and participate not for the sake of raising yourself up (i.e., an ego boost) but for the sake of transcending the very notion of your “self” altogether. You want to express yourself in the work and lose yourself in the work at the same time.
How Smart Exercise Keeps You Younger for Longer
“Ageing science supports that we should do high intensity every week, getting your heart rate up to at least 80% of its maximum,” says Bercovici. “Even 10 or 20 minutes a week will produce results – that means getting up to the point where it feels unpleasant. It should be a feeling that you can’t keep this up much longer.
You Can (and Should) Train Yourself to Sleep on Your Back
Only eight percent of people sleep on their backs. If you’re naturally one of them, count your lucky sheep. Back sleeping is the best option for pain management, as it allows your body to rest in a neutral position, which is great for reducing aches. It also cuts down on heartburn, as it keeps your head elevated above your chest.
Read Yuval Harari’s blistering warning to Davos | World Economic Forum
– Humanity faces three existential threats this century, warned historian Yuval Harari at Davos 2020.
– Technology risks dividing the world into wealthy elites and exploited “data colonies,” he explained.
– “If you like the World Cup – you are already a globalist,” he said, making the case for better cooperation to tackle the challenges.
E irelevant ceea ce ai de făcut, atâta timp cât nu știi ce faci deja. De aceea, oamenii eficienți nu încep cu ceea ce au de făcut. Ci cu timpul. Și nu încep prin a plănui, ci prin a înțelege ce se întâmplă cu timpul lor. Apoi, taie tot ceea ce nu esențial și remediază erorile de sistem. În pasul trei, consolidează largi segmente de timp în care pot face cea mai eficientă muncă, pe care doar ei o pot face.
The Biggest Lie in Personal Finance – Of Dollars And Data
They all say things like, “Make it a goal”, “Track your expenses”, “Establish a system.” Blah. Blah. Blah.
But none of these things are the actual reason for how they retired early. Because the actual reason is either (1) earning a high income or (2) having an absurdly low level of spending, or both.
What Would Happen If the World Suddenly Went Vegetarian?
Eliminating meat from our diets would bring a bounty of benefits to both our own health and the planet’s – but it could also harm millions of people.
Poverty isn’t a lack of character. It’s a lack of cash – The Correspondent
Our efforts to fight poverty are often based on the misconception that poor people must pull themselves up out of the mire. But the relentless struggle to make ends meet has serious effects on the brain. Poverty is not a lack of character – it’s a lack of cash.

The biggest truth in personal finance
First, become better educated. […] In the U.S., education has a greater impact on lifetime earnings than any other demographic factor.
Second, become a better employee.
Finally — and most importantly — learn to negotiate your salary.
Combinând doar factorii reprezentând media anilor de școală și rezultatele de la testări, un copil născut în 2017 poate atinge la 18 ani 66% din potențialul său, ceea ce dovedește că educația are principala contribuție la contraperformanța înregistrată de România.
Hai cu mine în campania ADOPTĂ O MAMĂ , ediția 2020 | Adoptă o mamă | mirelaretegan.ro
Intră cu mine în cea mai frumoasă campanie dedicată mamelor din România! Adoptă o mamă!
Întâlnesc, în drumurile mele prin țară, mii de mame. Unele sunt iubite, fericite, de mână cu bărbați care le adoră și au împreună copii sănătoși, de care sunt mândre până la cer. Altele sunt singure, chinuite și poartă în brațe copii care nu înțeleg de ce stau mereu prin spitale, de ce mami este tristă sau bolnavă, de ce tati a plecat și nu se mai întoarce… Din păcate, sunt foarte multe mame triste, singure, bătute, deznădăjuite, bolnave. Mame cu adevărat disperate.
Sunt femei care au nevoi greu de imaginat pentru majoritatea dintre noi. Visul acestor mame eroine este să aibă lucruri pe care nu și le pot permite: o haină, o eșarfă, o poșetă sau o pereche de pantofi comozi.
Intră în cea mai frumoasă campanie dedicată mamelor din România, pregătește un pachet care să conțină orice lucru nou pe care îl consideri util unei femei (un parfum, o bluză, o pereche de pantaloni, o cremă de față, un card cadou, o zi la un centru SPA, o trusă de farduri) și care ar face-o să se simtă iubită și apreciată! Ambalează frumos pachetul și scrie o felicitare sau chiar o scrisoare pentru mama pe care vrei să o ajuți.
Intelligence is important, but intelligence without effort is sometimes wasted.
Limbajul trupului, întrebările, comentariile trădează oamenii. Parcă simțeai clar că unul a citit prea mult Jules Verne, că altul sigur vrea să-și impresioneze nevasta și copilul, că altul vrea să-și aburească amanta…
În final, după o privire și mai atentă, puteai paria pe doar o mână de oameni. Era un polonez care părea foarte aspru, doar că vorbea prea mult. Ăștia nu rezistă în liniștea nopților polare. Și într-adevăr, nici nu a trecut de kilometrul 350.
The Benefits of Intermittent Fasting – The New York Times
But prompted by recent enthusiasm for fasting among people concerned about their health, weight or longevity, I looked into the evidence for possible benefits — and risks — of what researchers call intermittent fasting. Popular regimens range from ingesting few if any calories all day every other day or several times a week to fasting for 16 hours or more every day.
A man I know in his early 50s said he had lost 12 pounds in about two months on what he calls the 7-11 diet: He eats nothing from 7 p.m. until 11 a.m. the next morning, every day.
Care sunt fructele şi legumele pline de pesticide. Ce sfaturi dau autorităţile | adevarul.ro
Concret, conform ANSVSA, cele mai nesigure alimente pentru consum: cartofi, căpşunele, merele, nectarine, piersici, ţelină, struguri, cireşe, spanac, ardei gras, roşii, castraveţi.

Monese ştie foarte bine ce useri vrea | hoinaru.ro
Am ajuns săptămâna trecută la prezentarea oficială a Monese în România, la care a participat chiar Norris Koppel, fondator şi CEO al companiei. Monese este un fintech lansat în 2015, ce a ajuns în acest moment la 2 milioane+ de utilizatori în lumea întreagă, cu 300.000 de conturi deschise de români. Şi-au propus să tripleze numărul de conturi din România până la finalul anului viitor.
Cu ce se diferenţiază Monese faţă de principalul concurent din România, adică Revolut?
Andrei Pleșu: Multiculturalism – Dilema veche
Mi se pare evident că trebuie să înțelegem ceea ce se întîmplă fără împietrire dogmatic-conservatoare, dar și fără cochetării ideologice la modă. În acest efort, mi-am amintit de o conferință rostită cu mulți ani în urmă (vreo cincisprezece), la Colegiul „Noua Europă“, de profesorul Elie Barnavi, de la Universitatea din Tel Aviv. Vorbitorul a riscat un (graţios, dar ferm) atac la adresa „multiculturalismului“. O parte a publicului a fost contrariată.
Vladimir Oane: Think Better by Taking Better Notes — Vladimir Says
The book is a treasure chest of insight and one can spend a full year following all the references to other studies and books. The ideas I highlight below are just the ones that I found valuable and I skipped some concepts that I was already familiar with.
Research: It Pays to Be Yourself
We found that when they were genuine in their pitches, they were more than three times as likely to be chosen as semifinalists than when they tried to cater to the judges.
How Close Are We—Really—to Building a Quantum Computer?
Intel’s head of quantum computing talks about the challenges of developing algorithms, software programs and other necessities for a technology that doesn’t yet exist.
The Path to Success Is a Squiggly Line – The Atlantic
Too many of us are worried about how our kids will compete globally and are baffled by the desirability of jobs whose titles mystify us: digital overlord, director of insights, growth hacker, innovation Sherpa. We fervently believe that staying “on track” beats wandering around. However, reality suggests otherwise. And instilling this concept of success as a straight line can set kids up for unrealistic expectations and disappointment.
The Best Music for Productivity? Silence
Studies show that for most types of cognitively demanding tasks, anything but quiet hurts performance.
Here’s Why It’s So Impossible to Get Reliable Diet Advice From the News
Part of what makes this hard to answer is that it’s difficult to get a sense of the scope of the problem from one-off studies of dietary choices, or even from comparing across published studies with different methods. So instead, I thought I’d take a look at how confounding surfaces in a lot of dietary choices all together, and I’d focus on body weight. I set out to analyze—using a top-notch data set and standard analysis techniques—a simple question: “Which foods make you thin?”

DE CE SĂ DEVENIȚI VOLUNTAR LA VÂRSTA A III-A
pentru că experiența dumneavoastră personală și profesională contează și vreți să o împărtășiți celor mai tineri;
ca să vă asumați un nou rol social și să reîncepeți o activitate de valoare pentru dumneavoastră și pentru comunitate;
ca să învațați lucruri noi și utile de la cei din generațiile mai tinere;
pentru că vreți să fiți o resursă în comunitate și să contribuți la binele altora;
pentru a câștiga prieteni noi, a fi activ și a vă reinventa.
Either way, “by the time we get students at college,” said Indiana University professor Polly Husmann, “they’ve already been told ‘You’re a visual learner.’” Or aural, or what have you.
The thing is, they’re not. Or at least, a lot of evidence suggests that people aren’t really one certain kind of learner or another.
Is space just an infinite emptiness that underlies everything? Or is it the emptiness between things? What if space is neither of these but is a physical thing that can slosh around, like a bathtub full of water?
It turns out that the nature of space itself is one of the biggest and strangest mysteries in the universe. So get ready, because things are about to get … spacey.
How to Be More Optimistic – The New York Times
In other words, you can blame your parents for your bleak outlook, but you don’t have to resign yourself to it forever. Here are four ways to start walking on the sunnier side of the street.

Many Tech Experts Say Digital Disruption Will Hurt Democracy | Pew Research Center
About half predict that humans’ use of technology will weaken democracy between now and 2030 due to the speed and scope of reality distortion, the decline of journalism and the impact of surveillance capitalism. A third expect technology to strengthen democracy as reformers find ways to fight back against info-warriors and chaos
De fiecare dată când cineva mă aude cum zic despre faptul că după ora 18.00 în timpul săptămânii și în tot weekendul nu răspund la telefon, la emailuri, la orice formă de a încerca să mă contacteze cineva se uită cumva ironic la mine. Pe sistem ”da, măh, bine, sigur, îhî”.
Până încearcă să facă asta. Până încearcă să mă contacteze după 18.00 în timpul săptămânii și în weekend. Și își dă seama că e fix cum zic. Și că încearcă degeaba.
Ce putem face deocamdată: ne spălăm des pe mâini, evităm să ne atingem fața cu mâinile fără să fim spălați pe ele, STĂM ACASĂ la primele semne care seamănă cu o răceală/viroză.
The trick is to think as concretely as possible, which makes you perceive the wait time as shorter. Avoid abstract thinking, which typically gives negative meaning to your wait, and spurs negative emotions. “When someone is late for a call, if you think abstractly, you may think that they don’t respect your time, or don’t think the call is important, and therefore you might become mad,” says Dorit Efrat-Treister, an organizational psychologist at Ben-Gurion University. “But if you think they may have just misplaced your number or got another call first, you won’t become so annoyed.”
Un american a furat un dric din fața bisericii cu tot cu mort – Esential – HotNews.ro
James Juarez, un bărbat în vârstă de 25 de ani din Los Angeles, a fost arestat de autorităţi după o urmărire ca în filme, sub acuzaţia că a furat o maşină funerară care conţinea o persoană decedată, relatează Apnews.com, citat de Mediafax.
La fel ca multe alte țări, românii au avut tendința să supraevalueze decesele, semnificativ mai multe, cauzate de boli și să le supraevalueze pe cele, mult mai puține, cauzate de accidente, violență, terorism etc. Românii sunt a cincea țară care declară ca sursă principală de informare internetul (33%).
Se manifestă, din păcate, din plin, efectul Dunning-Kruger (o eroare de apreciere în care oamenii consideră eronat competența lor ca fiind mult mai mare decât în realitate) în ce privește răspunsurile românilor și nu numai ale lor.

Before Buying Something on Sale, Imagine If You Saved 100%
Eventually, I talked myself down from the perfect charcuterie night with one simple question: Would I rather save 40% on wine and cheese, or would I rather save 100% by buying nothing at all?
Top Economists Study What Happens When You Stop Using Facebook – Study Hacks – Cal Newport
The experimental design is straightforward. Using Facebook ads, the researchers recruited 2,743 users who were willing to leave Facebook for one month in exchange for a cash reward. They then randomly divided these users into a Treatment group, that followed through with the deactivation, and a Control group, that was asked to keep using the platform.
BPay este aplicația de mobil pentru transportul în comun din București – nwradu blog
Am instalat aplicația BPay de la Mastercard pentru plata călătoriilor cu transportul în comun în București (STB, nu și metrou). E bună aplicația. Nu călătoresc foarte des cu STB-ul, dar o voi ține în telefon tocmai pentru că este mai simplă de utilizat decât portofelul reîncărcabil uzual pe care poate nici nu-l am la mine când apare nevoia de a lua un tramvai sau un autobuz.
Celelalte persoane care sunt izolate la domiciliu nu au voie să iese afară din curte, tocmai de aceea am apelat la o firmă de caterincă, să ne aducă o masă caldă la prând, pe care să o distribuim prin personalul de la primărie.

The imbalance between media and advertisers | Seth’s Blog
Ultimately, this destroys the value of the media company, corrupts our culture and hurts the long-term viability of the brands that have worked so hard to cut corners.
It’s possible to stand up and insist on better instead of cheaper.
Beyond exact keyword matching: optimize your text naturally • Yoast
Imagine this: You’re trying to optimize your post for the term [guinea pig]. In your text, you’ll probably use guinea pig (singular) and guinea pigs (plural). However, if your focus keyword is the singular [guinea pig], the keyword density check does not recognize your plurals and will punish you with a red bullet! That’s so annoying and unfair!

PPC Marketing Strategies To Boost your Results for 2020 (and Beyond)
Pay-per-click advertising can be one of the most effective strategies to drive traffic, brand awareness, and — most importantly — conversions. But the digital marketing tides are shifting, and PPC marketing strategies that used to work are now falling flat.

Google rolling out new AdSense mobile site ahead of Android app shutdown
Google said last year that it planned to roll out a mobile interface for the existing web app before the end of 2019, but the timeline seems to have slipped a bit, since we’re almost to March 2020. Still, the new mobile layout looks slick.
Google Still Uses PageRank & No, Google Does Not Use Domain Authority
John also added that it is different from the original PageRank Google used in the 90s. He said “It’s not quite the same as the original paper, there are lots of quirks (eg, disavowed links, ignored links, etc.), and, again, we use a lot of other signals that can be much stronger.”
How Low Can #1 Go? (2020 Edition) – Moz
Being #1 on Google isn’t what it used to be. Back in 2013, we analyzed 10,000 searches and found out that the average #1 ranking began at 375 pixels (px) down the page. The worst case scenario, a search for “Disney stock,” pushed #1 all the way down to 976px.

What AI still can’t do – MIT Technology Review
Artificial intelligence won’t be very smart if computers don’t grasp cause and effect. That’s something even humans have trouble with.

Adrian Stanciu: Efectul Anti-Pygmalion – Adrian Stanciu
Un alt exemplu interesant, însă, e cel numit “efectul Pygmalion”. A fost studiat prin anii ’70 de doi psihologi americani, Robert Rosenthal și Leonore Jacobson. Ei au dat elevilor din școli gimnaziale Testul Harvard de Aptitudini și apoi au comunicat profesorilor numele a doi elevi cu rezultate excepționale. La sfârșitul anului de studiu cei doi au fost testați independent cu teste standardizate și au avut sistematic rezultate peste media clasei. Pare logic, dar Testul Harvard nu există, cei doi erau aleși al întâmplare. Faptul că profesorii i-au crezut buni, i-a făcut buni. Din păcate fenomenul se manifestă și invers: dacă crezi că oamenii sunt proști, răi, leneși, etc., ei devin așa. Sigur, nu toți, nu de tot, nu mereu, dar e o tendință clară și măsurabilă.
The Case Against Stretching | Outside Online
Contrary to a half-century of locker-room wisdom, being flexible doesn’t seem to protect you from injury either. This topic is the focus of hundreds of studies, and there are admittedly a few that do find benefits. At the other end of the spectrum, there are a few that find that being too flexible is also associated with injury. But overall, it just doesn’t seem to make much difference. It’s also not associated with non-sports-related problems like low-back pain.

A New Theory of Complex Emotions
This theory, introduced in 2006 by Lisa Feldman Barrett, a neuroscientist and psychologist at Northeastern University, argues that emotions are not just biological entities. It’s true, Barrett says, that a handful of physiological feelings are distinct and measurable. She separates these into two categories: calm versus jittery (what scientists call “arousal”) and pleasant versus unpleasant (what scientists call “valence”). But these biological signals aren’t emotions. An emotion, she says, is how our brains interpret those sensations using our culture, our expectations, and our words.
As you read this text, you can probably hear your inner voice narrating the words.

Traficanții care ne cumpără sănătatea | Inclusiv.ro
În ultimii ani am documentat această piață neagră ca să înțeleg de ce unii bolnavi din România își vând tratamentele după ce le-au primit gratis de la Casa de Asigurări, iar alții nu le găsesc deloc. Am aflat că statul român e incapabil să se asigure că pastilele pe care ar trebui să le luăm ajung în siguranță și la timp la noi. Monitorizarea medicamentelor noastre e deficitară.
How Good Friends Are Good For Your Health : Shots – Health News : NPR
We don’t fully appreciate our friendships, says the science writer and author of the new book Friendship: The Evolution, Biology, and Extraordinary Power of Life’s Fundamental Bond. If we did, we’d take cultivating those intimate bonds as seriously as working out or eating well. Because, she writes, a new field of science is revealing that social connections play a vital role in our health.
You Should Probably Never Eat Sprouts
The issue is, unfortunately, inherent to the way sprouts are grown. Whether you buy them or sprout your own, they are kept moist and warm for several days, making perfect conditions for growing bacteria.
That means that if the seeds for the sprouts are contaminated with Salmonella or E. coli, those bacteria can grow as the sprouts grow and make you sick. Washing does not get rid of the bacteria. Cooking does, but it destroys the fresh crunchy texture that is probably the whole reason you wanted sprouts in the first place.
