How Social Media Leads to Polarization: An Analysis Based on “The Social Dilemma”
Content: Google, a search engine that dominates 87% of market share as of July 2020, collects our browser history and uses the data when presenting advertisements and suggestions to viewers. While some may propose that social media has had its positive effects – reuniting lost loved ones, playing the bridge between partners despite long distances, and convenience across all aspects – these platforms also play key influencers in the polarization across social, cultural, and political beliefs. Polarization, by definition, is the “ division into two sharply distinct opposites .” When we like photos or posts, we indicate to social media algorithms that we have taken an interest or liking towards the content displayed. When we enter searches into search engines, we show the algorithms that we are “looking” for a certain something. These social media algorithms then show us what we want to see, displaying more media and advertisements that share a link with our search or like history. One could essentially say that we live in “ filter bubbles .” We are stuck in an inconspicuous delusion, exposed to ideas that have been “filtered” based on the data we have indicated to these platforms we find interesting. A multitude of users is continuously displayed with an increase in information that appeals to their interests. It should be important to note that not all that everyone sees on social media or search engines are without flaws and instead could be subject to biases or propaganda. | https://gwchronicle.com/2020/12/08/how-social-media-leads-to-polarization-an-analysis-based-on-the-social-dilemma/ |

They do not see sources of information that contradict their preexisting ideas, remaining in an illusioned fantasy that only strengthens their convictions. Viewers see countless forms of media that carry the same logic as theirs, allowing them to put more faith and confidence in their ways of thought. In its essence, social media feeds its users the information they want to see, subtracting the supposed threat of opposing or disbelieving members from the equation. Conspiracy theories gain believers, political rivals gain supporters, and viewers become polarized. | https://gwchronicle.com/2020/12/08/how-social-media-leads-to-polarization-an-analysis-based-on-the-social-dilemma/ |

Content: It’s the quest for perfection that stops you from getting things done. Smart people often struggle with this issue. They are afraid of being anything less than perfect or doing sub-par work. As a result, they tend to overanalyze every situation and seek alternative options instead of taking action. According to psychologists, most people make decisions in one of two ways: By sacrificing a potential solution for one that better meets their needs
By maximizing; in this case, they keep searching for better options and never settle for the ones at hand
The more time you spend making decisions, the less satisfied you will be with the results. Researchers claim that happiness is a matter of choice. More options in the decision-making process do not necessarily lead to a better outcome. On the contrary – people tend to feel less happy and satisfied as the number of options increase. | https://habitgrowth.com/paralysis-analysis/ |

Paralysis by analysis keeps you from reaching your full potential. In fact, it stops you from doing anything, whether it’s starting a business or finishing a project. It also affects your personal and social life. For example, you keep postponing moving to a new city or country because you’re never sure it’s the right thing to do. You overanalyze the situation and keep considering possible alternatives, but never actually make the decision. | https://habitgrowth.com/paralysis-analysis/ |

One of the most important questions entrepreneurs should ask themselves is whether customers love their product. Yet as founders begin to scale their businesses, they too often fall into the trap of focusing on a single number: revenue. “The problem with revenue as an indicator of product success is that by the time you’re losing it, it’s probably too late,” — Todd Olson, CEO of advanced analytics company Pendo. Even those who look beyond revenue can still fall victim to measurement traps. There’s the issue of having too little data, like companies who only measure customer NPS. But too much data can also be a problem: with a sea of metrics and benchmarks to choose from it’s difficult to prioritize what matters. Luckily Todd’s here to help. He founded Pendo to address the very challenge of measuring product experience. | https://hackernoon.com/the-5-key-measurements-of-product-success-e53594aabb47 |

Content: Examine your different types of users and the dynamics of who should be using your product, how often and for what reasons. For example, new customers could have extremely different behavior than existing customers. Breaking all your users into segments helps you gain a more intelligent view of whether you’re addressing their varied needs. Depth of Use
Understanding how many of your product features are being used is key to measuring success. One of the simplest ways to determine Depth of Use is by measuring the percentage of your product features that are used regularly. Start by identifying the top five features used by your core audience. These are the “value drivers” that keep people coming back to your product. Todd says ideally you want clients to be using all of those key features. Pendo strives to have each customer use all five of the key features they’ve identified as core retention factors. Understanding your product’s key features can also help you keep your product successful. | https://hackernoon.com/the-5-key-measurements-of-product-success-e53594aabb47 |

Understanding your product’s key features can also help you keep your product successful. For instance, if your product uses a freemium model, but you are giving away the most popular features, it could result in users downgrading to the free version. Efficiency
Usability is key to retaining users and the ultimate goal of any product is the ability to use it easily, correctly and as quickly as possible. Efficiency may be the most important measurement of success. To measure efficiency, simply look for one or more key workflows in your product — anything from registration, to onboarding, to new feature activation — and measure how far users get in that workflow before dropping off. Establish meaningful completion goals for each workflow. | https://hackernoon.com/the-5-key-measurements-of-product-success-e53594aabb47 |

To measure efficiency, simply look for one or more key workflows in your product — anything from registration, to onboarding, to new feature activation — and measure how far users get in that workflow before dropping off.

You can turn a qualitative reaction like satisfaction into an actionable quantitative measure by leveraging customer surveys.

The results
Content: Clinginess, neediness, or possessiveness manifests itself in behaviors like: Moving too quickly in a relationship
Being irrationally jealous of people in your partner’s life
Messaging your partner excessively
Monitoring your partner’s social media activity constantly
Neglecting friends, family, or even work to spend time with your partner
Many people might not be aware that these are negative behaviors or refuse to admit to themselves that they are clingy. Although it is natural to love your other half and wish to express it, it can be unhealthy and suffocating to be the only focus of someone’s attention. Is your partner the only thing giving your life meaning or purpose? If so, you may have a problem. Clinginess is a sign of emotional trauma. When people are looking for closeness, emotional support, or constant reassurance from an external source, they could be experiencing low self-esteem or a fear of abandonment. And staying in denial will not improve the situation. Once you have processed and accepted the knowledge that you have become clingy and needy, you can take the necessary steps to change your behavior.

The online course covers sex, intimacy, anger, jealousy and so forth. It teaches couples how to recover from these symptoms that are often the result of a stagnant relationship. The ‘ABCD method’ on which the course is built around teaches couples how to push through resentment and negative memories via four stages.

Below is an introduction to the ‘ABCD method’ which is the basis of the Mend The Marriage program: Accept the situation
As simplistic and self-explanatory as this stage sounds, one would be amazed at how many individuals are in denial about their relationships. Browning teaches couples that acceptance is always the first stage before they will be able to move forward. This means letting go of blame and taking responsibility for your part in the breakdown of the relationship. It means looking after yourself, so you can be your best when talking to your partner (or former partner). | https://hackspirit.com/mend-the-marriage-review/ |

What Can We Learn from Intersectionality?
Content: Intersectionality, Identity Politics, and Violence Against Women of Color,” Crenshaw discusses the invisibility of the identities and oppression of black women within both the feminist movement, which devalued their black identity, and the civil rights movement, which devalued their female identity ( Crenshaw 1993: 1242). Moreover, homophobia and transphobia have played a part in marginalizing queer individuals in several historical social movements ( Smith 1983: 83-84, 190-201). Audre Lorde recognized not only the power of women, but also of different races, abilities, and other marginalized identites. Black feminists, queers, and working-class individuals combatted the lack of intersectional perspective within society by creating their own spaces to organize ( Giddings 1984 ). Audre Lorde, for example, created an alternative feminist perspective that she called “womanist,” in which she encouraged followers to consider race, class, gender, disability, sexuality, and more in their social movements and critical analysis of societal issues ( Lorde 1984 ). Furthermore, activists like Barbara Smith started organizations, such as the Combahee River Collective, which is “committed to struggling against racial, sexual, heterosexual, and class oppression” ( Combahee River Collective ). Of course, there are many more historical examples of intersectional ignorance, oppression, and resistance, but it is useful to consider contemporary examples as well. Although many social scientists recognize intersectionality as an important step in the history of social movements, theorists have developed different, and sometimes conflicting, interpretations of the role of intersectionality in society. | https://haenfler.sites.grinnell.edu/subcultural-theory-and-theorists/intersectionality/ |

Content: How Much Walking Should I Do Per Week? The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Recommends the following physical guidelines for staying healthy: Children 6 to 17 years of age
60 minutes (1 hour) or more of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity daily. Physical activities should consist of aerobic, muscle-strengthening, and bone-strengthening
Adults
150 minutes (2 hours 30 minutes) to 300 minutes (5 hours) moderate-intensity activities or 75 minutes (1 hour 15 minutes) to 150 minutes (2 hours 30 minutes) of vigours-intensity aerobic physical activity
Strength train all muscles groups at least two times a week
Physical aerobic activity should be spread out through the week
“Additional health benefits are gained by engaging in physical activity beyond
the equivalent of 300 minutes (5 hours) of moderate-intensity physical activity
a week”
Older Adults
Should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activities
Older adults need to take into consideration their physical fitness level and any other chronic issues that could be exacerbated by physical activity. Walking Example #1 of a physically fit adult: Since an adult needs between 150 minutes to 300 minutes of exercise a week we could derive this weekly exercise schedule for an adult: Monday: Walk 3 miles a day (3 miles x 20 minutes = 60 minutes)
Tuesday: Strength Train ( 30 minutes)
Wednesday: Walk 3 miles a day (3 miles x 20 minutes = 60 minutes)

Persons who fly drones with first-person view, or FPV, may be surprised to learn that they need to obtain an amateur radio license in order to legally use an on-board video system during flights. FPV, also known as remote-person view (RPV) and video piloting, allows a drone pilot to control the aircraft as if they were in the pilot’s seat. In this guide: To control an FPV drone remotely requires two radio links — a bidirectional link to control the drone and receive telemetry information from the drone and a downlink that transmits video from the drone. It’s the video link that allows the operator to see where the drone is going and to control its movements. Typically, the control link operates in the 2.4 GHz band, while the video link operates in the 5.8 GHz band. These frequency bands are used for a number of purposes, and in the United States, the use of these frequencies is strictly controlled by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Devices that operate on these frequencies must be FCC-certified. | https://hamradioprep.com/fpv-drones-using-a-ham-radio-license/ |

12.4.1 Confidence intervals
Results for both individual studies and meta-analyses are reported with a point estimate together with an associated confidence interval. For example, “The odds ratio was 0.75 with a 95% confidence interval of 0.70 to 0.80”. The point estimate (0.75) is the best guess of the magnitude and direction of the experimental intervention’s effect compared with the control intervention. The confidence interval describes the uncertainty inherent in this estimate, and describes a range of values within which we can be reasonably sure that the true effect actually lies. If the confidence interval is relatively narrow (e.g. 0.70 to 0.80), the effect size is known precisely. If the interval is wider (e.g. 0.60 to 0.93) the uncertainty is greater, although there may still be enough precision to make decisions about the utility of the intervention. Intervals that are very wide (e.g. 0.50 to 1.10) indicate that we have little knowledge about the effect, and that further information is needed. A 95% confidence interval is often interpreted as indicating a range within which we can be 95% certain that the true effect lies. This statement is a loose interpretation, but is useful as a rough guide. | https://handbook-5-1.cochrane.org/chapter_12/12_4_1_confidence_intervals.htm |

Content: Strict gun control deprives people of their legal rights
The US is the country in which the share of people who own a gun is impressively high. Besides, there is no single country in the world that can be compared to the US by the number of firearms in the citizen’s hands. According to the official statistics, 80 percent of adults own a gun, meaning that the likelihood of a stranger you come across in the street possessing one are unbelievably significant. Recently, several regulations attempted to restrict gun possession to impose gun control. However, gun control is not only unjustifiable, but it also deprives people of their right for self-defence and peaceful life. First and foremost, gun control, unfortunately, does not reduce the murder and crime rates in the US. Although it should generally hold true, the statistics contradict the misbelief that limiting gun possession minimizes the number of crimes committed. The research on weapon ban which was carried out during the past twenty years demonstrates that there is no correlation between reducing gun ownership and a falling number of murder cases. The research also indicated that the states that imposed strict gun control have witnessed a larger number of crimes. This all leads to the conclusion that imposing a ban on gun possession is not a way to fight crime. | https://handmadewriting.com/blog/samples/gun-control-essay/ |

Content: We understand all too well the emotions and repercussions that come with delivering a baby too early. But for those who have not been directly affected, there’s a lot they may not know. Facts about prematurity
In the US, approximately 1 in 10 babies is born prematurely. Preterm birth is considered prior to 37 weeks. That means only 3 weeks before full term, babies are at risk for respiratory issues, feeding issues, and more. Babies born earlier than 37 weeks are at an even higher risk for conditions such as brain bleeds, necrotizing enterocolitis, retinopathy of prematurity, and more. Preterm birth happens for a variety of reasons, but there is often no known cause for premature labor. What is a little harder for some to understand is it doesn’t end when you leave the hospital. Parents can experience guilt, depression, and even PTSD for months and years after their NICU journey has ended. Prematurity can result in learning disabilities, behavioral issues, and other long-term problems that cannot be predicted upon discharge. | https://handtohold.org/prematurity-awareness-what-it-really-means/ |

Up to 45 percent of infants weighing less than 3 1/4 pounds at birth have one or more abnormalities on testing at school age ( source ). Many of Hand to Hold’s “first families,” the ones that came to us when we began providing peer support six years ago, now have school-aged children and are having to navigate the world of testing, 504 accommodations, and Individualized Educational Plans. Arming yourself with facts is one of the best ways to spread awareness of prematurity. But it’s also important to realize that experiencing prematurity is about so much more than facts. It’s about emotions and hardships. | https://handtohold.org/prematurity-awareness-what-it-really-means/ |

Content: There are several strategies available that can boost student engagement during virtual learning. Build community and boost student engagement through synchronous meetings
Building strong relationships with students and being aware of their individual needs is a crucial first step for successful learning, regardless of whether it takes place in person or remotely. When students connect with their teacher and feel a supportive bond, they will be more likely to attempt challenging content and be motivated to master the learning objectives. Incorporating synchronous meetings where students and the teacher meet live at the same time on a video platform can help to build strong relationships and boost student engagement. When learners have the opportunity to interact regularly with their teacher and peers and feel part of a supportive community, they will be more engaged in their learning. Synchronous meetings can help students feel better connected to their school and decrease feelings of isolation. There are several video platforms that teachers can use to conduct synchronous class meetings, including Zoom and Google Classroom, the latter of which automatically generates an easily accessible Google Meet video link for each class you create within the platform. To increase student participation during synchronous video meetings, there are several strategies you can use. You can hold larger class discussions with the entire class to cover major concepts, and then separate students into breakout rooms and provide a prompt, problem or question for smaller groups of students to collaborate on, similar to a classroom “think-pair-share” activity. This allows more timid students who tend to not speak out loud in front of the whole class the opportunity to interact with other students in a secure environment that is less overwhelming. | https://hapara.com/blog/four-strategies-to-boost-student-engagement-during-virtual-learning/ |

Content: How much would it cost to paint a 1000 square foot house? - Happho
How much would it cost to paint a 1000 square foot house? The cost of painting a house depends on the paint materials you choose and the surface area that requires painting. For a house of 1000 sq.ft (carpet area) the area of wall and ceiling to be painted would be approximately = 1000 X 3.5= 3500 sq.ft
For a house of 1000 sq.ft (built up area) the area of wall and ceiling to be painted would be approximately = 1000 X 0.75 X 3.5 = 2625 sq.ft
Assuming a Carpet area to Build up area = 0.75

If you choose
Acrylic distemper (water-based,giving smooth matte finish) will cost – Rs.8/sq.ft (one coats putty,one coat primer and two coat paints, labour + Material cost)
Total cost estimate = 8 *2625 = Rs.21,000/-
Acrylic Emulsion – Plastic Paint (water-based, giving smooth matte finish) will cost – Rs.11/sq.ft (one coats putty, one coat primer and two coat paints, labour + Material cost)
Total cost estimate = 11 *2625 = Rs.28,875/-
Paint life around 3–4 years. Premium washable Emulsion – (water-based, anti-fungal, soft sheen finish) will cost – Rs.25/sq.ft (one coat putty,one coat primer and two coat paints, labour + Material cost)

That’s the equation. Add some movement into the mix, and you’ve got the ultimate act of self-love and self-care, at least if you ask me! I love the outdoors, and I love to take advantage of the therapeutic benefits of getting enough time outside. This one can be tough depending on the climate you live in, the season and your time constraints. I aim to spend time outside each day, but I organize 2-3 days per week in which I’m able to spend extended periods of time (2-6 hours) outside at a time. It doesn’t take much to see benefits, though. I recently discovered the Japanese concept of forest bathing which is meant to be brief! Quality air, greenery, the sunshine and subsequent vitamin D absorption, and the bonus effort of running, walking, biking, hiking or getting physical in the outdoors can be incredibly therapeutic. It’s great for stress relief, fitness, endorphin release and energy levels. Nothing helps me reset more when I’m feeling frazzled or confused than stepping outside, whether it’s for five minutes or a whole weekend. | https://happybodyformula.com/10-self-care-techniques/ |

Frozen spinach is no good raw, as it’ll naturally be soft and wilted once it thaws out, making it no use for salad recipes and such. So, as you’ll be cooking with it anyway, there’s a neat trick that’ll both improve the length of time you can keep spinach in the freezer and solve the problem of removing just enough for a portion without wasting the rest. Here’s what you do: 1. After washing your spinach (see below), go through your leaves and discard any that look less than fresh. Remove any thick, mature stems at this stage, too. 2. Bring a pot of fresh water to the boil and quickly give your spinach leaves a blanching. Just one or two minutes will do. | https://happyhappyvegan.com/how-long-does-spinach-last/ |

A few weeks ago, someone tweeted at me, "Is it possible to develop an intolerance to dairy after being vegan for a short time?" Going vegan (or dairy-free) doesn't make you lactose intolerant, yet many people find after removing dairy from their diet, they can no longer tolerate it. Why? People who are lactose intolerant can't digest lactose, the sugar found in milk. Lactase, the enzyme that helps humans digest lactose stops being produced when the person is between the ages of 2 and 5. Without lactase to break down the sugar, it goes on to the colon undigested where it ferments, producing gas that causes cramping, bloating, nausea, flatulence and diarrhea. | https://happyherbivore.com/2013/07/what-is-lactose-intolerance-plant-based-vegan/ |

The numbers are given as close to 0% of Native Americans, 5% of Asians, 25% of African and Caribbean peoples, 50% of Mediterranean peoples and 90% of northern Europeans.

Content: Being able to digest milk is so strange that scientists say we shouldn't really call lactose intolerance an allergy or a disease, because it presumes that the intolerance is abnormal. Instead, they call it lactase persistence, indicating what's really weird is the ability to continue to drink milk. Think of it another way: By consuming dairy you're not only breast-feeding well past infancy (not normal), you're also breast-feeding on another species (not normal either!). Is it really surprising that most people are then "intolerant"? Those with lactase persistence have a genetic mutation either from European or African ancestors. Small populations of African peoples were historically cattle herders, and that's where their lactase persistence genes come from. The European mutation appeared approximately 7,500 years ago in dairy farmers who lived in the Funnel Beaker region. Today, the highest proportion of people with lactase persistence live in Northwest Europe, especially the Netherlands, Ireland and Scandinavia, though research suggests that dairy farmers carrying this gene variant probably originated in central Europe.

Back to the original question: Why would someone experience "lactose intolerance" symptoms after being dairy-free for a short period? I'm not a doctor, nutritionist, or scientist — but I think the reality is you were always lactose intolerant and you just didn't know it. I've worked with dozens, if not hundreds, of clients who after they cleaned up their diet, realized things they thought were "normal" actually weren't. A common saying among them is "I had no idea how sick I was or how awful I really felt until I knew what it was like to feel well and thrive." Many of my clients used to experience bloating, gas, diarrhea, heartburn, and other unpleasant things that they thought were "normal" and then, after switching to a plant-based diet, realized that wasn't normal and they didn't have to experience those discomforts. | https://happyherbivore.com/2013/07/what-is-lactose-intolerance-plant-based-vegan/ |

Content: was all it could muster on overload. There was just no room for a subtle warning. For example, the body was freaking out over the processed white bread, gobs of fat, cheese, burger, oil, and sugary condiments being shoved in all at once (a la "burger and fries"). It was too much — too many triggers. It wasn't until we cleaned up the client's diet that we were able to really figure out what food intolerances existed, if any. Once you've adopted a whole foods plant-based diet and given your body a break (and time to heal, repair and restore) it starts becoming clear just how bad "bad food" really is. Your body starts recognizing unhealthy food as the toxic substance it is. It recognizes garbage. This has certainly been true for me.

Bonanno found while most can figure out effective ways to handle life’s challenges, some do so in messy ways. He coined the phrase “coping ugly” for such processes. In “coping ugly,” the resilient people often develop characteristics that are not altogether their natural self. It happens while they are trying to control their situation and do something about it. For example, people recovering from a calamity may suddenly start to behave as narcissists. The Meaning of Resilience
In positive psychology, resilience means the ability to —
put up a brave face in times of adversity and hard times,
use the available strengths and resources to resist and cope,

Content: The Meaning of Resilience
In positive psychology, resilience means the ability to —
put up a brave face in times of adversity and hard times,
use the available strengths and resources to resist and cope,
recover and flourish from the event and experience. READ 7 Steps To Overcome Self-Criticism Without Losing Your Mind
The resilient people often find a purpose in the adverse experience and grow more capable out of it. The German philosopher Nietzsche knew about it, and had said: What does not kill me makes me stronger. All of us can learn to be more resilient. But when a person gives in to the view they cannot build resilience, they become more prone to accept vulnerability and defeat easily. What Resilience Does Not Mean
Resilience does not mean we reject our negative and unpleasant emotions. When we deny our negative emotions, we unconsciously yield to them. This downgrades our resilience. But when we accept them and allow them to flow over us, we take back control and begin the process of recovering from the situation causing them. | https://happyproject.in/resilience-psychology/ |

1984 as a Dystopian novel: The novel, 1984, was written by George Orwell in 1948, and was set to be in the future. It is a typical Orwellian novel, which depicts the tale of a Dystopia, in which a hierarchical system known as ‘Big Brother’ and The Party, repress and control everyone in complete despotism. What is truly the most oppressive thing that Big Brother do in particular to citizens, is enforce complete control over people’s thoughts and privacy, having cameras and microphones placed every where, and punishing anyone who dares to think differently and anyone who dares to question Big Brother and The Party. 1984, is a great allegory, with a very noticeable underlying message, that was very prominent at the time it was written, just after World War 2. The protagonist of the story is Winston Smith, a 39 year old, average man, who after meeting his love, (the other protagonist of the story) Julia, begins to develop his own thoughts, and who begins, with Julia, to rebel against Big Brother and The Party, until being caught and broken by O’Brian. The main antagonist of the story, besides Big Brother and The Party, is O’Brian, who works for Big Brother in the Ministry of Love, and who is a member of the inner party. He is the one who after learning of Winston and Julia’s rebellion, sets a trap for them over the course of seven years, and who is ultimately the one who breaks both Winston and Julia. The story is based in the Oceania, which is one of three super-continents that span the entire world, the other two super-continents are called Eurasia, and Eastasia. Oceania is controlled by Big Brother and The Party, and is a completely totalitarian run state. | https://hardakh.wordpress.com/2013/04/10/introduction-to-1984-and-its-author/ |

Content: The Americans used a large variety of different medias in their propaganda to not only increase public hatred of the enemy, but also to support America’s allies, increase public efforts in war production and to increase the sales of war bonds, which were basically voluntary loans. The most popular and wide spread type of media used in American propaganda were pictures which they used in posters, but comic books and videos which they played before movies in cinemas were also a very popular type media that they used in their propaganda. Communism: The definition of communism given by Wikipedia is that: ‘ Communism is a revolutionary socialist movement to create a classless, moneyless, stateless social order structured upon common ownership of the means of production, as well as a social, political, and economical ideology that aims at the establishment of this social order.’ This basically means that communists are people who believe in and want to bring about a society of total equality, where no one person or group of people are more or less powerful or rich than anyone else. What is very commonly or should I say was very commonly associated with communism, was Marxism-Leninism. Wikipedia’s definition is that: ‘ Marxism-Leninism, is a communist ideology, officially based upon the theories of Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels and Vladimir Lenin, that’s promotes the development and creation of international communist society through the leadership of a vanguard party was presiding over revolutionary socialist state that represents the dictatorship of the proletariat.’ This basically means that Marxism-Leninism is the communist idea of forming an international communist party lead by a political party at the forefront of a political revolution, who represent the autocratic social or working class. | https://hardakh.wordpress.com/2013/04/10/introduction-to-1984-and-its-author/ |

Its best lines were about his uncles drinking rye whiskey from a flask in the backseat of a “great green Hudson”: “ Tryin’ do like the gentiles do/ They wanna be gentiles, too!/ Who wouldn’t down there/ Wouldn’t you?” 11. “ 500 Miles.” No, not the Proclaimers song from that Johnny Depp movie. “ 500 Miles” — also known as “500 Miles Away from Home” or the “Railroader’s Lament” — was first put together from snippets of old folk songs that the great Hedy West remembered hearing from her family. There’s a famous version Joan Baez sang live in England, but I’d go with Peter, Paul and Mary’s version, or Rosanne Cash’s. 12. “ | https://harpers.org/blog/2014/06/the-twenty-three-best-train-songs-ever-written-maybe/ |

Content: So we are taking this opportunity to dive into the history, key details, and events you need to help you understand your Miranda rights in Texas. Where Did Miranda Rights Come From? Miranda rights are named after the 1966 Supreme Court case, Miranda v. Arizona. In this case, Ernesto Miranda was arrested for stealing eight dollars from an Arizona bank worker. After two hours of questioning, Miranda confessed to the robbery, kidnapping, and rape of the worker. He was found guilty and sentenced to prison. Since he was not advised of his Constitutional rights, the U.S. Supreme Court later ruled that the statements and confessions Miranda made could not be used as evidence against him. The judges decided he did not get a fair trial, and his conviction was reversed. Miranda v. Arizona instituted further protection of the Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights, establishing that suspects should be informed of their legal rights when placed under arrest. The “Miranda rights” were finalized in 1968 in the state of California and variations have been in use nationwide since then. | https://harronlaw.com/blog/miranda-rights-texas/ |

To Protect Women, Legalize Prostitution
by Annamarie Forestiere | Oct 1, 2019 | Amicus, Criminal Justice, Labor and Employment, Sex Equality |
Prostitution is a sensitive subject in the United States. Frequently, arguments against prostitution center around concern for the health and safety of women, and those concerns are not unfounded. Prostitution is an incredibly dangerous profession for the (mostly) women involved; sexual assault, forced drug addiction, physical abuse, and death are common in the industry. For the women who work in this field, it is often very difficult to get help or get out. Many sex workers were sold into sex trafficking at a very young age and have no resources with which to escape their forced prostitution, or started out as sex workers by choice only to fall victim to sex trafficking later on. Moreover, since prostitution is illegal in most places in the United States, there are few legal protections in place for prostitutes; many fear that seeking help will only lead to arrest, and many who do seek help are arrested and then have to battle the stigma of a criminal record while they try to reintegrate into society. So why is the response to such a dangerous industry to drive it further underground, away from societal resources and legal protections? When people argue prostitution should be illegal, in many cases their concern comes from a place of morality, presented as concern for the health and safety of women. | https://harvardcrcl.org/to-protect-women-legalize-prostitution/ |

So why is the response to such a dangerous industry to drive it further underground, away from societal resources and legal protections? When people argue prostitution should be illegal, in many cases their concern comes from a place of morality, presented as concern for the health and safety of women. People believe that legalizing prostitution will only lead to the abuse of more women, will make it harder for prostitutes to get out of the industry, or will teach young women that their bodies exist for the sole purpose of sexual exploitation by men. However, legalizing prostitution has had positive benefits for sex workers across Europe. The most well-known country to have legalized prostitution is the Netherlands, where sex work has been legal for almost twenty years. Bringing the industry out of the black market and imposing strict regulations has improved the safety of sex workers. Brothels are required to obtain and renew safety and hygiene licenses in order to operate, and street prostitution is legal and heavily regulated in places like the Red Light District. | https://harvardcrcl.org/to-protect-women-legalize-prostitution/ |

Content: Not only that, but studies indicate that legalizing prostitution can increase human trafficking. However, even those who are critical about legalizing prostitution can recognize the benefits that legislation can have on working conditions for sex workers. If countries with legislation in place spend more time listening to current sex workers, the results of decriminalizing prostitution include bringing safety, security, and respect to a demographic that has traditionally been denied such things. The underlying reason that people are uncomfortable listening to sex workers about legalizing prostitution has nothing to do with concern for the health and safety of women. If that were the genuine concern, prostitution would be legal in the United States by now. The underlying reason people disagree with legalizing prostitution is that prostitution is viewed as amoral because it involves (mostly) women selling their bodies for financial gain. However, telling women what they can and cannot do with their bodies does not come from a place of morality: that comes from a place of control. People, especially women, sell their bodies for financial gain in legalized fashions on a daily basis. Pornography is legal, and so is exotic dancing. | https://harvardcrcl.org/to-protect-women-legalize-prostitution/ |

A financial professional’s take on when it might make sense to consider purchasing long-term disability insurance. by Mary Beth Storjohann
December 18, 2018 | Protect
Have you ever wondered if you need long-term disability income insurance? If you have a traditional 9-5 employer, they may offer a group long-term disability income plan, provided at a group rate. That’s what’s normally referred to as long-term disability, or LTD insurance. However, if you’re self-employed, a business owner, or simply don’t have enough (or any) coverage through your employer, you may be curious as to whether or not purchasing individual disability income insurance is in your best financial interest. Long-term disability insurance and individual disability income insurance can help financially protect you if you were to become unable to work due to an illness or injury that keeps you out of work for over 90 days (this is the typical elimination period but policies differ and you would need to verify the exact terms on any policy that covers you or that you consider purchasing). Most policies offer to cover a percent of your pre-disability income for a set period of time with a general maximum of 66.66% of your income as a monthly insurance payout in the event that you became disabled. But how do you know when disability insurance makes sense for your lifestyle? 1: You’re a working parent

If you’re a parent, your child relies on your income. Although you may feel comfortable risking the sustainability of your own lifestyle needs without long-term disability insurance, it’s a lot harder when you have dependents in the picture. When you’re a parent, having partial income replacement when you experience a disabling injury or illness can make a world of difference for your family. When you have young kids at home, you likely have more expenses than you would if you were young and single, or if you were closer to retirement. You can find coverage to help you to cover: Your rent or mortgage
Utilities
Groceries
Debt payments
You may still need to cut back on “extra” expenses, like cable or Friday dinners out as a family, but LTD or individual disability income insurance can still assist with covering some day-to-day expenses. | https://havenlife.com/blog/long-term-disability-insurance-worth-it/ |

3: You own a business
As a business owner, you wear a lot of hats in a given day. The success of your business may depend on your ability to show up, put in the hours, and do high-quality work. If that ability is taken away for the long-term, it’s possible that your business would suffer, or even fail. This would obviously be detrimental to your personal finances, but it could also have a negative impact on your employees. Finding a coverage option that works for you as a small business owner might feel overwhelming, but it’s absolutely necessary to protect you, your family, and your employees.

Knowing what amount of coverage you need is hard. It’s even more difficult to justify purchasing individual disability income insurance or group long-term disability insurance if you feel that you have enough savings to get you through the short term if you were to become disabled. However, this may be a short-sighted way to look at disability coverage. Having some level of disability insurance or other protections in place in case you’re confronted with a worst-case scenario can offer some peace of mind. It’s impossible to know how long a disability could impact your earning potential. It’s possible that an illness or injury could completely alter your ability to work for the rest of your life. You may be physically disabled and unable to do a physically-intensive job, or you may experience an illness or disabling accident that alters your ability to see, type or sit for extended periods of time. This type of disability could morph into a bigger, long-term concern. In these cases, disability insurance can help to offset the inevitable costs of rethinking the way you earn an income going forward and can buy you additional time to restructure a career that accommodates for your disability. | https://havenlife.com/blog/long-term-disability-insurance-worth-it/ |

Content: It’s not unusual for people to think that having a well-padded savings account is enough to offset the risks of disability, but this is a risky assumption. If you’re dealing with a long-term disability, you may be facing hefty medical bills, costs associated with making your home (or lifestyle) accessible, and more. Disability insurance helps to add an extra layer of protection for you and your family. What impacts the cost of disability insurance? The ability to tailor your policy coverage to your budget and needs is one of the main features of an individual disability income insurance policy. In other words, you’re able to choose a policy that’s affordable while still getting some amount of coverage. There are several different factors that impact your coverage: The elimination period: This is how long you have to be considered disabled to qualify for benefits. Typically, the longer the elimination period, the lower the premium. | https://havenlife.com/blog/long-term-disability-insurance-worth-it/ |

Content: Disability options can vary greatly in premium amount, especially when you’re shopping private versus group coverage. The more coverage you want up front, and the longer you want to receive benefits for if you become disabled, the higher the amount you will pay each year for your policy. Deciding if disability insurance is right for you
Speaking with a financial planner, as well as an agent from a reputable insurance company, can be a huge step in the right direction. Together, you can start to determine how much coverage you might need to take care of your necessary expenses in the event you become disabled, and what type of premium would fit into your budget. Life insurance needs aren't one-size-fits-all. Calculate your needs

5 times short-term disability insurance makes sense
If an illness or injury prevents you from working, your income stream is no longer streaming…it is at a full stop. This can put you at risk of being unable to pay your bills, such as mortgage payments, car payments, credit card payments, groceries, and so on. Many people assume workers’ compensation will fill the income gap created by a disability; however, workers’ compensation only pays if you are injured at work. Social Security disability payments can sometimes be an option to help your family make ends meet during a disability. Unfortunately, proving eligibility for Social Security benefits can be difficult and even if you are able to establish that you are entitled to them, they average only $1,234 per month. This is where disability income insurance comes in. Various forms of disability insurance are designed to help financially bridge the gap until you can work again. Short-term disability insurance is an insurance policy that pays a benefit to replace a portion of your salary in the event you experience a non-work related injury or illness that renders you unable to work for a period of time. Short-term versus long-term disability insurance
Long-term disability income insurance is out there as well but serves a completely different purpose. | https://havenlife.com/blog/short-term-disability-insurance/ |

Short-term versus long-term disability insurance
Long-term disability income insurance is out there as well but serves a completely different purpose. Specifically, the primary differences between long-term and short-term disability insurance are coverage length and coverage amount. Take a look: Long-term disability insurance
Generally replaces 40% to 60% of base salary
Coverage stays in place until disability ends or in some cases, after a set number of years or when retirement begins
Typically a 90-day waiting period after onset of disability before benefits begin
Short-term disability insurance
Generally replaces 60% to 70% of base salary
Length of coverage varies by policy but typically between a few months and one year
Typically a short waiting period of two weeks from onset of disability before benefits begin
Long-term disability insurance makes sense for some people and 41% of American employers offer long-term disability insurance as a benefit. But here, we’ll focus on short-term disability insurance and when it might be a good idea. Warning...

Disability statistics
Insurance is all about managing risk, right? The first step to understanding short-term disability insurance is to understand what kind of risk we are talking about. According to the Social Security Administration, if you are in your 20s, chances are more than 1-in-4 that you will experience a disability that keeps you out of work for a period of time before you retire. Despite those rather high odds, LIMRA reports that only 20% of people carry short-term or long-term disability coverage. The top causes of disability are not serious accidents as some people think. They are more often ongoing conditions such as back or muscle pain. Pregnancy is also a short-term disability. Another disability misconception is that only people with very dangerous jobs, such as loggers or commercial fishermen, need to worry about becoming disabled. Nope. Even a desk jockey has a risk of disability. | https://havenlife.com/blog/short-term-disability-insurance/ |

Content: A short-term disability insurance policy can be a great way to cover that gap period. Your savings account is low (or you don’t want to dip in)
If you do not have disability insurance, you will likely need to turn to your own savings to cover the period for which you are disabled. A study done by Haven Life revealed that more than half of those surveyed had $5,000 or less in savings. If you are in this boat or otherwise could not cover a period of short-term disability with your savings on hand, short-term disability insurance may be a good option. If you are considering opting out of disability insurance and relying on savings, do the math and determine how long you could get by the amount you have put away for a rainy day. It might not be as long as you think. In addition, you are of course draining that rainy day fund and will need to build it back up when you return to work. This could leave your family vulnerable during that “in-between” period. After running the numbers, you may decide to rely on your savings to provide income replacement during a period of disability. If you opt to go this route, which is essentially self-insuring the risk, consider whether holding a disability insurance policy during your savings build-up period makes sense for you. | https://havenlife.com/blog/short-term-disability-insurance/ |

So what was going on throughout the 50 year time period from when King Kamehameha III secretly asked to join the United States in 1851, to when the United States actually annexed Hawaii in 1898? The answer? Greed. Throughout this 50 year time period, many sugar plantation owners took advantages of trade treaties between the two countries and forced their way into Hawaii and into the Hawaiian government. Eventually the plantation owners had more say in the Hawaiian government than many native Hawaiians. Hawaii offered many benefits to the United States. First off, the weather there is perfect for growing sugarcane and other fruits. This reason alone brought many greedy American businessmen to the island.

Hawaii was of interest by the United States Navy. Not only is the island in a good strategic location in the Pacific, but it also has one of the best natural harbors in the world.

The plantation owners feared a takeover by natives or other countries that would put their plantations in jeopardy. One year after the coup, a reluctant US Congress voted to make Hawaii an American protectorate. It was mainly an economic move to protect the American plantations that dotted the islands. And Sanford B Dole was appointed President of the new protectorate, but he was fighting hard to have Hawaii completely annexed by the United States. A War And Political Turmoil

Marijuana is one of the most common recreational drugs used to alter a person’s state of mind. It is often used to achieve immediate feelings of euphoria, or the proverbial “high.” Psychological/psychoactive effects of THC include: Feelings of euphoria and relaxation
Time distortion
Intensification of sensory experiences (e.g. while watching TV or listening to music)
Increased socialization (laughter and being talkative)
Increased appetite (the “munchies”)
Besides the high, there are other psychological effects of THC as well. These effects vary from person to person, depending on the strength and amount of marijuana used and how it is taken. The overall effect that THC has when consumed is a form of intoxication with generally positive feelings. What are the Side Effects of THC?

Content: Being away from home and from previous support networks can also make victims feel particularly alone and unable to access help in their struggle. Students experiencing abuse may also resist reporting their experiences because they are afraid that their parents will find out, their abuser will stalk them, or their administrators will not fully understand the issue. In short, victims are afraid of getting in trouble with their abuser, their parents, their friend group, and their school. Students who recognize that their friends are being abused experience similar hesitations when it comes to reporting the situation. Studies show that of people who have known someone experiencing abuse, 52% believe it is not appropriate to get involved and fear that by reporting the abuse, they may harm their own friendship with the victim or abuser. For this reason, it has become increasingly important to put policies in place to protect students who have experienced abuse from the dangers of retaliation, punishment, and ostracization. As it stands, the U.S. Department of Education put in place Title IX protections, which require colleges and universities to investigate instances of domestic violence among their students and take care to protect victims from their abusers. However, these laws do not require legal trials, and administrators cannot issue legal protective orders or jail time. As a result, many victims of abuse on college campuses who seek help from the administration are left more vulnerable than victims in the real world. If you or someone you know is a student experiencing abuse, consider contacting HAWC or your local domestic violence organization to begin exploring legal remedies that colleges may not be able to provide. | https://hawcdv.org/the-truth-about-domestic-violence-on-college-campuses/ |

Content: A Nation in Turmoil
It’s commonplace to say that we live in a period of unprecedented change. But in the view of many historians, the America of Lincoln was a time of changes at least as jarring. The country entered the nineteenth century with a predominantly agricultural economy, composed largely of scattered rural communities. Then, in quick succession, steamboat service was introduced, scores of canals were constructed, thousands of miles of railroad track were laid, and countless new telegraph lines were strung throughout the country. Almost overnight, large numbers of what had been generally self-sufficient local economies found themselves, ready or not, part of a relentlessly changing and expanding national economy. Competition no longer came from the next town but from producers in many parts of the country—and from industries abroad. People traveled farther and more often. New technologies also changed the workplace, as Americans used to laboring for themselves or in small shops began to take jobs in the nation’s growing number of factories. The rise of factory-based mass production and frenetic railway construction led to an economic boom. But the nation’s growth was interrupted by financial crises—known at the time as panics—in 1819, 1837, and 1857. | https://hbr.org/2003/08/abraham-lincoln-and-the-global-economy |

But the nation’s growth was interrupted by financial crises—known at the time as panics—in 1819, 1837, and 1857. These produced sharp increases in unemployment, large numbers of bankruptcies and farm foreclosures, and frequent runs on banks. Except for slavery, the subject of trade and tariff levels was the most regionally divisive topic in American politics during the nineteenth century. Not surprisingly, many antebellum Americans resented the developments that led to this volatility, whatever the long-term economic benefits. Most Americans still thought of themselves primarily as residents of their own states—which were often referred to as “countries”—rather than as citizens of a wider American nation. To many, the erosion of the economic boundaries separating communities and states, and the increasing competition from other regions, came as a shock. | https://hbr.org/2003/08/abraham-lincoln-and-the-global-economy |

Content: We remember the handful of founder-CEOs in corporate America, but they’re the exceptions to the rule. Founders don’t let go easily, though. Four out of five entrepreneurs, my research shows, are forced to step down from the CEO’s post. Most are shocked when investors insist that they relinquish control, and they’re pushed out of office in ways they don’t like and well before they want to abdicate. The change in leadership can be particularly damaging when employees loyal to the founder oppose it. In fact, the manner in which founders tackle their first leadership transition often makes or breaks young enterprises. The transitions take place relatively smoothly if, at the outset, founders are honest about their motives for getting into business. Isn’t that obvious, you may ask. Don’t people start a business to make pots of money? They do. | https://hbr.org/2008/02/the-founders-dilemma |

Content: I have to be the one running it,” several entrepreneurs have told me. There’s a great deal of truth to that view. At the start, the enterprise is only an idea in the mind of its founder, who possesses all the insights about the opportunity; about the innovative product, service, or business model that will capitalize on that opportunity; and about who the potential customers are. The founder hires people to build the business according to that vision and develops close relationships with those first employees. The founder creates the organizational culture, which is an extension of his or her style, personality, and preferences. From the get-go, employees, customers, and business partners identify start-ups with their founders, who take great pride in their founder-cum-CEO status. New ventures are usually labors of love for entrepreneurs, and they become emotionally attached to them, referring to the business as “my baby” and using similar parenting language without even noticing. Their attachment is evident in the relatively low salaries they pay themselves. | https://hbr.org/2008/02/the-founders-dilemma |

Content: This apparent conflict can lead to very real problems, most notably these: The senior team is brought in too late in the process for its input to matter. The team members appear to have power to protect the interests of the departments they oversee—but they really don’t. The way the CEO actually makes decisions is unacknowledged and underconsidered. Rather than trying to resolve the conflict in favor of one team or another, I’d like to suggest a simpler approach: Acknowledge that these nameless teams exist and ask how you can make more deliberate use of them, along with the senior management team. After all, as any CEO will tell you, neither team is ultimately responsible for the company’s major decisions. That’s the job of the CEO, who can—and should—have access to the best possible advice. Acknowledge that the nameless decision-making teams exist, and ask how you can make more deliberate use of them. Why Senior Teams Don’t Make the Big Decisions

Over the course of a year, a senior management team sees itself making lots of decisions, many of which generate little dissent. So what looks like a group decision is often merely ritualistic approval. It’s the rare business case, for instance, that is turned down at the final presentation. As one CEO I interviewed put it, “Only an idiot would bring a business case for final approval in front of an executive committee without having every single person in that room wired ahead of time.” More subtle are the situations when a boss brings a decision to the team for consensus and remains at the table for the discussion. Because the group may reach a different conclusion than the boss might have arrived at on his own, both he and the group are likely to believe that he genuinely delegated the decision making. | https://hbr.org/2011/12/who-really-makes-the-big-decisions-in-your-company |

Therefore, it’s something of an illusion that the executive committee makes many of the top decisions. But it could hardly be otherwise, for some fairly straightforward reasons. First, organizational accountability for making important decisions virtually always rests with individuals, not teams.

9 Habits That Lead to Terrible Decisions
Content: Having no strategic alignment. Bad decisions sometimes stem from a failure to connect the problem to the overall strategy. In the absence of a clear strategy that provides context, many solutions appear to make sense. When tightly linked to a clear strategy, the better solutions quickly begin to rise to the top. Over-dependence. Some decisions are never made because one person is waiting for another, who in turn is waiting for someone else’s decision or input. Effective decision makers find a way to act independently when necessary. Isolation. Some of those leaders are waiting for input because they’ve not taken steps to get it in a timely manner or have not established the relationships that would enable them to draw on other people’s expertise when they need to. All our research (and many others’) on effective decision making recognizes that involving others with the relevant knowledge, experience, and expertise improves the quality of the decision. | https://hbr.org/2014/09/9-habits-that-lead-to-terrible-decisions |

Content: And when they still don’t have the technical depth to understand the implications of the decisions they face, they make it their business to find the talent they need to help them. Failure to communicate the what, where, when, and how associated with their decisions. Some good decisions become bad decisions because people don’t understand – or even know about — them. Communicating a decision, its rational and implications, is critical to the successful implementation of a decision. Waiting too long for others’ input. Failing to get the right input at the right time. Failing to understand that input through insufficient skills. Failing to understand when something that worked in the past will not work now. Failing to know when to make a decision without all the right information and when to wait for more advice.

How Unethical Behavior Becomes Habit
Content: This is precisely what we found: When given a series of problem-solving tasks, 50% of our subjects cheated to earn $.25 per problem in the first round, and 60% cheated to earn $2.50 per problem in the final round. However, the people in the abrupt change group who could not cheat during the first two rounds were much less willing to cheat big for $2.50 per problem during the final round (only about 30% did). This suggests that employees might look at their slightly exaggerated mileage statements as “rounding up.” But rationalizing minor indiscretions inevitably influences how they view progressively worse behaviors and may lead them to commit bigger offenses (e.g., billing their employers for personal travel expenses) that they initially would not have considered. To make matters worse, people are more likely to overlook the unethical behavior of others when it deteriorates gradually over time. For example, one of us (Francesca) found, with colleague Max Bazerman, that people who played the role of auditors in a simulated auditing task were much less likely to report those who gradually inflated their numbers over time than those who made more abrupt changes all at once, even though the level of inflation was eventually the same. Unfortunately, the assumption that unethical workplace behavior is the product of a few bad apples has blinded many organizations to the fact that we all can be negatively influenced by situational forces, even when we care a great deal about honesty. Yet approaches to warding off the slippery-slope problem need not to be drastic. In their book Nudge: | https://hbr.org/2014/09/how-unethical-behavior-becomes-habit |

In their book Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth, and Happiness, Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein illustrate how a small and unobtrusive nudge in the right direction can lead people to eat better, save more for retirement, and conserve energy. Our research similarly indicates that ethical nudges can help people avoid the types of indiscretions that might start them down the slippery slope. For example, in a study conducted with a major U.S. insurance company, Francesca and colleagues found that customers who signed the statement “I promise that the information I am providing is true” prior to reporting their annual mileage — that is, at the top of the page — were significantly more honest in their reporting compared to those who reported first and signed at the bottom of the page. In a different study, Dave and Lisa found that even subconsciously exposing people to ethical content increased their moral awareness and prompted more ethical decisions.

And at International Paper, employees are given a wallet card with a set of ethics-related questions to consider when making business decisions. When moral standards are unclear or unenforced, it’s easy for employees to feel emboldened to engage in questionable behaviors that are readily rationalized. Environments that nudge employees in the right direction, and managers who immediately identify and address problems, can stop ethical breaches before they spiral out of control.

Content: 2. Noticing problems. Lots of management advice focuses on the need for individuals to become better problem solvers; but there is an important step that comes even earlier. It is the ability to recognize problems (to see situations where change is needed and to anticipate potential snares in advance). For example, in one company we worked with, it was common to hear people being praised for their heroic crisis management skills – rescuing projects on the brink of failure, or getting a delayed product to a client just in time. A new manager recognized this pattern as a serious problem. She correctly saw it not as a sign of hard work, but as a symptom of a broken process. 3.

Throughout history, social movements — small groups that are loosely connected but united by a shared purpose — have created transformational change. Women’s suffrage and civil rights in the U.S., Indian independence, the color revolutions in Eastern Europe, and the Arab Spring all hinged on the powerless banding together against the powerful. In these movements, protest has played an important role, highlighting the ability for ordinary citizens to make their disapproval heard. This type of activism is crucial for creating the groundwork for change. Consider the recent protests in Poland concerning an unpopular abortion law. They inspired millions to take further actions, including a women’s strike, that convinced lawmakers to back down. Still, protests like the massive global marches that took place on January 21, 2017, although crucially important for creating transformational change, are merely a first step. There are clear reasons why some movements languish and fade away while others succeed, and activists need to take history’s lessons to heart. To truly make an impact, a movement needs to follow five steps: | https://hbr.org/2017/01/how-protests-become-successful-social-movements |

To truly make an impact, a movement needs to follow five steps: Step 1: Define the change you want to see
To create the change you want to see, you have to make an affirmative case and define exactly what you want to happen. Clearly defining change is a consistent theme in successful movements.

Step 5: Build a plan to survive victory
Content: Colonel John Boyd, the military reformer who helped change the way the Pentagon functions, pursued a similar path, first preparing briefings for junior officers, and then congressional staffers, and then elected officials, and finally the top generals. The path to victory is not to create a coalition through awkward comprises, but rather to expound on your values with such clarity that you persuade others to join your cause. Empires fall not because people oppose them, but because they find their support eroded. To win, you need to convince others to defect. Step 3: Identify the pillars of power
While it is crucial to recruit allies from up and down the spectrum of support, it is also important to identify the institutions that have the power to implement the change you seek. These “pillars of power” can be the police, the media, the education system, government agencies, or other organizations. As important as popular support is to a movement, without institutional support, little is likely to change. In Serbia, the revolutionary group Otpor saw arrests not merely as an act of defiance, but as an opportunity to build positive relations with the police. In fact, protesters were trained to defend officers from any provocation within their own ranks. | https://hbr.org/2017/01/how-protests-become-successful-social-movements |

Leaders have long recognized that a diverse workforce of women, people of color, and LGBT individuals confers a competitive edge in terms of selling products or services to diverse end users. Yet a stark gap persists between recognizing the leadership behaviors that unlock this capability and actually practicing them. Part of the problem is that “diversity” and “inclusion” are so often lumped together that they’re assumed to be the same thing. But that’s just not the case. In the context of the workplace, diversity equals representation. Without inclusion, however, the crucial connections that attract diverse talent, encourage their participation, foster innovation, and lead to business growth won’t happen. As noted diversity advocate Vernā Myers puts it, “Diversity is being invited to the party. Inclusion is being asked to dance.” Numerous studies show that diversity alone doesn’t drive inclusion. | https://hbr.org/2017/02/diversity-doesnt-stick-without-inclusion |

As noted diversity advocate Vernā Myers puts it, “Diversity is being invited to the party. Inclusion is being asked to dance.” Numerous studies show that diversity alone doesn’t drive inclusion. In fact, without inclusion there’s often a diversity backlash. Our research on sponsorship and multicultural professionals, for example, shows that although 41% of senior-level African-Americans, 20% of senior-level Asians, and 18% of senior-level Hispanics feel obligated to sponsor employees of the same gender or ethnicity as themselves (for Caucasians the number is 7%), they hesitate to take action. Sponsors of color, especially at the top, are hobbled by the perception of giving special treatment to protégés of color and the concern that protégés might not “make the grade.” The result: Just 18% of Asians, 21% of African-Americans, and 25% of Hispanics step up to sponsorship (and 27% of Caucasians). | https://hbr.org/2017/02/diversity-doesnt-stick-without-inclusion |

Content: But according to our research, 37% of African-Americans and Hispanics and 45% of Asians say they “need to compromise their authenticity” to conform to their company’s standards of demeanor or style. Our research on women in the science, engineering, and technology industries shows that, regardless of gender, acting “like a man” can provide an advantage in becoming a leader in these fields. What a waste of employees’ energy, let alone their employers’ diversity dollars. Networking and visibility. For women and people of color, the key to rising above a playing field that remains stubbornly uneven is sponsorship. A sponsor is a senior-level leader who elevates their protégé’s visibility within the corridors of power, advocates for key assignments and promotions for them, and puts their reputation on the line for the protégé’s advancement. For those who feel marginalized by their gender, ethnicity, age, sexual identity, or educational and economic background, sponsorship is particularly crucial in invigorating ambition and driving engagement. Having a sponsor increases the likelihood of being satisfied with the rate of career advancement. Conversely, lack of sponsorship increases someone’s likelihood of quitting within a year.

When aligned with strategy and leadership, a strong culture drives positive organizational outcomes.
Selecting or developing leaders for the future requires a forward-looking strategy and culture.
Cultural dynamics are a frequently overlooked factor in postmerger performance.
In a merger, designing a new culture on the basis of complementary strengths can speed up integration and create more value over time.
In a dynamic, uncertain environment, in which organizations must be more agile, learning gains importance.
A strong culture can be a significant liability when it is misaligned with strategy.

CONCLUSION
Content: For better and worse, culture and leadership are inextricably linked. Founders and influential leaders often set new cultures in motion and imprint values and assumptions that persist for decades. Over time an organization’s leaders can also shape culture, through both conscious and unconscious actions (sometimes with unintended consequences). The best leaders we have observed are fully aware of the multiple cultures within which they are embedded, can sense when change is required, and can deftly influence the process. Unfortunately, in our experience it is far more common for leaders seeking to build high-performing organizations to be confounded by culture. Indeed, many either let it go unmanaged or relegate it to the HR function, where it becomes a secondary concern for the business. They may lay out detailed, thoughtful plans for strategy and execution, but because they don’t understand culture’s power and dynamics, their plans go off the rails. As someone once said, culture eats strategy for breakfast. It doesn’t have to be that way. Our work suggests that culture can, in fact, be managed. | https://hbr.org/2018/01/the-culture-factor |

How Men Can Be Better Allies
Content: Egalitarian men can feel the backlash effects of stigma-by-association — perceived as being similar to women by advocating for them. This is more likely in organizations where people endorse a zero-sum perspective on gender equality. Backlash against male allies is a real possibility. Self-professed male allies can also face criticism from the women they try to ally with. As two men who write and speak about cross-gender allyship and mentorship, we’ve noticed occasional backlash from women when dudes show up at women’s events. At one recent conference for women in technology, a Bingo card was circulated by women in the audience just before a panel composed of men on the topic of male allyship. The — seemingly cynical — objective? To identify as many worn-out clichés and defensive phrases men often utter in these contexts as possible. Some eye-rolling favorites included: “ I’m a feminist; | https://hbr.org/2018/10/how-men-can-become-better-allies-to-women |

Content: they can cut a team’s chances of success in half. According to our research, other consequences of working with unaware colleagues include increased stress, decreased motivation, and a greater likelihood of leaving one’s job. So how do we deal with these situations? Is it possible to help the unaware see themselves more clearly? And if we can’t, what can we do to minimize their damage on our success and happiness? Understanding the problem
Not all badly-behaving colleagues suffer from a lack of self-awareness, and not all who do can be helped. Therefore, you must first determine whether the source of the problem is truly someone’s lack of self-awareness. Ask yourself: What’s behind the tension? When we’re having trouble working with someone, the problem isn’t always a lack of self-awareness on their part. | https://hbr.org/2018/10/working-with-people-who-arent-self-aware |

Not all badly-behaving colleagues suffer from a lack of self-awareness, and not all who do can be helped. Therefore, you must first determine whether the source of the problem is truly someone’s lack of self-awareness. Ask yourself: What’s behind the tension? When we’re having trouble working with someone, the problem isn’t always a lack of self-awareness on their part. Interpersonal conflict can arise from different priorities, incompatible communication styles, or a lack of trust. To determine whether you’re truly dealing with an un-self-aware person, consider how others around them feel. Typically, if someone is unaware, there’s a consensus about their behavior (i.e., it won’t just be you). More specifically, we’ve found several consistent behaviors of un-self-aware individuals: They won’t listen to, or accept, critical feedback. | https://hbr.org/2018/10/working-with-people-who-arent-self-aware |

Content: Unsurprisingly, his superiors did not share his views and fired him several months later). The biggest difference between the unaware and the Aware-Don’t-Care are their intentions: the unaware genuinely want to be collaborative and effective, but don’t know they’re falling short. Whereas the Aware-Don’t-Care unapologetically acknowledge their behavior (“Of course I’m pushy with clients. It’s the only way to make the sale!”), the unaware can’t see how they’re showing up (“That client meeting went well!”). Helping the unaware
Once you’ve determined someone suffers from a lack of self-awareness, it’s time to honestly assess whether they can be helped. Think about their intentions and whether they’d want to change. Have you seen them ask for a different perspective or welcome critical feedback? This suggests that it’s possible to help them become more self-aware. | https://hbr.org/2018/10/working-with-people-who-arent-self-aware |

Once you’ve determined someone suffers from a lack of self-awareness, it’s time to honestly assess whether they can be helped. Think about their intentions and whether they’d want to change. Have you seen them ask for a different perspective or welcome critical feedback? This suggests that it’s possible to help them become more self-aware. But the odds can be steep. Our survey found that although 70% of people with unaware colleagues have tried to help them improve, only 31% were successful or very successful. And among those who decided not to help, only 21% said they regretted their decision.

Content: There are, however, three practices worth underscoring for these individuals. First, talk to them in person (our research suggests those who provide feedback via email are 33% less successful). Second, instead of bringing up their behavior out of the blue, practice strategic patience. If possible, wait until your colleague expresses feelings of frustration or dissatisfaction that (unbeknownst to them) are being caused by their unawareness. Ask if you can offer an observation in the spirit of their success and wellbeing (using the word “feedback” risks defensiveness). Third, if they agree, focus on their specific, observable behavior and how it’s limiting their success. End the conversation by reaffirming your support and asking how you can help.

It’s easy to feel hopeless when you can’t help someone who is unaware. The good news is that although we can’t force insight on them, we can minimize their impact on us. Mindfully reframe their behavior: | https://hbr.org/2018/10/working-with-people-who-arent-self-aware |

It’s easy to feel hopeless when you can’t help someone who is unaware. The good news is that although we can’t force insight on them, we can minimize their impact on us. Mindfully reframe their behavior: The popular workplace practice of mindfulness can be an effective tool for dealing with the unaware. Specifically, noticing what we’re feeling in a given moment allows us to reframe the situation and be more resilient. Here is one tool to notice but not get drawn in to our negative reactions to the unaware. I first came up with the “laugh track” when I had the misfortune of working for an Aware-Don’t-Care boss. One day, after a particularly unpleasant encounter, I recalled my favorite TV show growing up, The Mary Tyler Moore Show. | https://hbr.org/2018/10/working-with-people-who-arent-self-aware |
