K�bler-Ross model - Wikipedia

K�bler-Ross model - Wikipedia : The stages, popularly known by the acronym DABDA, include:[4] Denial – The first reaction is denial. In this stage individuals believe the diagnosis is somehow mistaken, and cling to a false, preferable reality. Anger – When the individual recognizes that denial cannot continue, they become frustrated, especially at proximate individuals. Certain psychological responses of a person undergoing this phase would be: "Why me? It's not fair!"; "How can this happen to me?"; "Who is to blame?"; "Why would this happen?". Bargaining – The third stage involves the hope that the individual can avoid a cause of grief. Usually, the negotiation for an extended life is made in exchange for a reformed lifestyle. People facing less serious trauma can bargain or seek compromise. For instance: "I'd give anything to have him back." Or: "If only he'd come back to life, I'd promise to be a better perso...

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade - Wikipedia

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade - Wikipedia : The phrase was initially coined by Christian anarchist writer Elbert Hubbard in a 1915 obituary he penned and published for dwarf actor Marshall Pinckney Wilder.[1] The obituary, entitled The King of Jesters, praises Wilder's optimistic attitude and achievements in the face of his disabilities: "He was a walking refutation of that dogmatic statement, Mens sana in corpore sano. His was a sound mind in an unsound body. He proved the eternal paradox of things. He cashed in on his disabilities. He picked up the lemons that Fate had sent him and started a lemonade-stand."[2] Although the expression was coined by Hubbard,[3][4][5] many modern authors[6][7] attribute the expression to Dale Carnegie who used it in his 1948 book How to Stop Worrying and Start Living. Carnegie's version reads: "If You Have a Lemon, Make a Lemonade."[8] Carnegie credited Julius Rosenwald for giving him the phrase.

Why is there no fake news on LinkedIn? Listen to its editor explain. - Recode

Why is there no fake news on LinkedIn? Listen to its editor explain. - Recode : “I don’t want to jinx myself, but #pizzagate has not shown up on LinkedIn,” Roth said, referring to the widely debunked conspiracy theory that Democratic politicians were connected with a child abuse ring. He noted that politics, in general, have a less prominent place on the site. Its users self-police the content in their feeds, telling each other to watch their words. “When people start talking about politics, you see this flood of comments beneath what they are writing, saying, ‘This isn’t Facebook. Please don’t put that here. This is LinkedIn, please talk about business,’” Roth said. “And this is not the company saying this at all.” He said he supported posts from LinkedIn’s users and Influencers that discussed how policy affects business, but not ad hominem political remarks. But Roth noted that, consciously or not, LinkedIn users usually draw that line themselves because they think of the site ...

Analyst: Microsoft Will Be First Company to Reach $1 Trillion Dollar Valuation - Breitbart

Analyst: Microsoft Will Be First Company to Reach $1 Trillion Dollar Valuation - Breitbart : In an article for Equities, Michael Markowski said Microsoft�will beat other competitors to the landmark valuation as a result of its recent acquisition�of LinkedIn, which he predicts will grow exponentially in�the coming years as more people turn to the site to build their professional profile. Markowski also argued that Microsoft is now perfectly placed to capitalise on the rapidly growing crowdfunding market, with his “prediction that by 2025, it will rank in size and scope right along with the digital search and social media industries.” Equity crowdfunding allows business to crowd fund investment from large amounts of people, with investors hoping for exponential returns on�start-ups with high growth potential. “The public has an insatiable appetite for making small bets and purchasing lottery tickets, etc., that provide the chance to make a big profit. The millennials will be a good...

The Health Concerns in Wearable Tech - The New York Times

The Health Concerns in Wearable Tech - The New York Times : Editors’ Note: March 21, 2015 The Disruptions column in the Styles section on Thursday, discussing possible health concerns related to wearable technology, gave an inadequate account of the status of research about cellphone radiation and cancer risk. Neither epidemiological nor laboratory studies have found reliable evidence of such risks, and there is no widely accepted theory as to how they might arise. According to the World Health Organization, “To date, no adverse health effects have been established as being caused by mobile phone use.” The American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute, the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have all said there is no convincing evidence for a causal relationship. While researchers are continuing to study possible risks, the column should have included more of this background for balance. In addition, one source quoted in the article...

The Mysterious Virus That Could Cause Obesity | WIRED

The Mysterious Virus That Could Cause Obesity | WIRED : To confirm the results, he set up a repeat experiment, this time using 100 chickens. Again, only the chickens with the SMAM-1 virus in their blood became fat. Dhurandhar was intrigued. A virus, it seemed, was causing obesity. Dhurandhar thought of a way to test this. He arranged three groups of chickens in separate cages: one group that was not infected, a second group that was infected with the virus, and a third group that caged infected and uninfected chickens together. Within three weeks, the uninfected chickens that shared a cage with infected ones had caught the virus and gained a significant amount of body fat compared to the isolated uninfected birds. Fat, it seemed, could indeed be contagious. Now, Dhurandhar is a man of science. He is rational and calm. But even he had to admit that the idea was startling. Does this mean that sneezing on somebody can transmit obesity? This now seemed possible in animals, but what abo...
