Communicating Across Cultures Communicating across cultures is challenging. Each culture has set rules that its members take for granted. Few of us are aware of our own cultural biases because cultural imprinting is begun at a very early age. And while some of a culture's knowledge, rules, beliefs, values, phobias, and anxieties are taught explicitly, most of the information is absorbed subconsciously. The challenge for multinational communication has never been greater. We are all individuals, and no two people belonging to the same culture are guaranteed to respond in exactly the same way. High-Context vs. All international communication is influenced by cultural differences. High-context cultures (Mediterranean, Slav, Central European, Latin American, African, Arab, Asian, American-Indian) leave much of the message unspecified, to be understood through context, nonverbal cues, and between-the-lines interpretation of what is actually said. Sequential vs. Affective vs. More on this topic
In Amsterdam, A Revolt Against The Neoliberal University For three weeks now, the University of Amsterdam (UvA) has been shaken by a wave of student protests against the neoliberalization of higher education and the lack of democratic accountability in internal decision-making. Last week, UvA staff joined the rebellion, declaring their solidarity with the students and threatening further actions if their demands are not met. With the university’s main administrative building — the Maagdenhuis — now occupied by students, the governing council has been forced into an awkward position: will it honor the demands of the academic community for greater democratization, or will it continue to obey the neoliberal logic of bureaucratic financialization? While the struggle at UvA has been mostly local and national in character, the implications of the issues raised by its students and staff reach far beyond the borders of the Netherlands. In this sense, the counter-movement now stirring in Amsterdam may well be a harbinger of what is yet to come.
Article : Sacred Sex Know God. Use God. Be God “Sexual relations are a regrettable necessity, even when children are desired” - stated the Episcopal Bishops at the Lambeth Conference. Many associate sex with shame and guilt and impurity. There is another stream of belief where sex is neither impure, nor merely a physical function. One encounters sacred sex in the ancient cults of Ishtar of Babylon. Consider the profoundly beautiful way in which the Shiva Purana describes it. “ Shiva's love-play transforms the universe. Or look at the magic of the Ahnika Stava “What else are the glittering stars, but pearls of sweat flung off their love combat?” Or again the wondrous stanzas of the Nag Hammadi Papyrus -“I am the whore and the holy one. Most Indians exposure to the idea of sacred sex is from the Kamasutra , the Koksastra and the Ananga Ranga . The Kamasutra, for example, reads almost like a manual of technique. Sacred sex teachings truly belong to an oral or rather physical tradition.
Do What You Love & The Money Will Follow. Here’s Why We live in a society where we are very used to doing something we don’t enjoy for long periods of our life so we can put food on our tables, partially see the world, have material objects etc. and so forth. According to a recent Gallup Survey, 70% of employed Americans either hate their jobs or are simply checked out of their work.[1] What does that say about how we ‘work?’ You can call it backwards or you can just observe it for what it is, the bottom line is we have the ability to do something our heart desires, we just have to make a few adjustments so we can make that happen. Before we go on, it’s not all about the money. All About Passion You may have heard me say it a number of times, I’m very passionate about other people’s passions and getting them to act on them. You may have heard the statement before “do what you love and the money will follow.” A Lifetime Of What You Don’t Enjoy You could say it’s a good enough reason depending on how you look at it.

"No explanation needed." In fifth grade, I won the school courtesy prize. I routinely find myself in mixed-gender environments (life) where men interrupt me. This irksome reality goes along with another -- men who make no eye contact. These two ways of establishing dominance in conversation, frequently based on gender, go hand-in-hand with this last one: A woman, speaking clearly and out loud, can say something that no one appears to hear, only to have a man repeat it minutes, maybe seconds later, to accolades and group discussion. After I wrote about the gender confidence gap recently, of the 10 items on a list, the one that resonated the most was the issue of whose speech is considered important. The cartoon may seem funny, until you realize exactly how often it seriously happens. These behaviors, the interrupting and the over-talking, also happen as the result of difference in status, but gender rules.
Turn your plastic bottles into rope! How to Build a GeoDome Greenhouse - Northern Homestead When it comes to gardening in colder climates, a greenhouse is almost a must have. It extends the growing season and gives the plants a lot more heat. With a greenhouse, we can actually pick ripe tomatoes here and grow some plants that we would not be able to without one.
