The Female Alpha When most people hear the phrase ‘female alpha’ they think of the most attractive, powerful or domineering woman they know. However, female alphas are not so easily recognizable. They might be beautiful or bossy or authoritative, but this is not what defines them. The easiest way to spot a female alpha is in a room or group of females. You can easily figure out who the alpha is by observing the following female alpha phenomena: 1. Next time you are at a party or networking event, try this fascinating experiment: Find a group of three or more females —you do not need to be close enough to hear them, they should just be in your line of sight. 2. Once you have an inclining of who the female alpha is of the group, move closer (or, if you are a woman, you can even join the circle). 3. Another way you can spot the female alpha of a group is by watching how each group member exits. 4. Female alpha-hood is not like pregnancy (you are or you aren’t). 5. 6. 7. 8. In the book. 9.

The 10 tech podcasts you must listen to today We all have that one friend: the insufferable know-it-all who seems to be an expert on every subject known to humankind. You tell a story or spit out a fact, and he can’t help but one-up you. Loudly. In front of lots of your other friends. And then he smirks. Once just a media afterthought, podcasts now have devoted followings and huge production budgets. 1. I’m beginning to believe that the British just know how to be better hosts. Though each podcast lasts only about 30 minutes, hosts Nate Lanxon and Olivia Solon throw in a nice mix of breaking news stories and discussions of fascinating offbeat and investigative pieces. Recommended listening: Episode 135, featuring 4G, smart vibrators, and HateBrain. 2. Nora Young’s investigative segments are exceptionally produced, professional, and most often, surprising. Recommended listening: Episode 223, featuring “flipping the classroom,” the digital-skills divide, and inequality and digital engagement. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
Microsoft : c’est quand on est faible qu’on devient open Microsoft a décidé d’être « open ». Finis les petites guerres de logiciels ou les coups dans le dos avec Apple et Google. L’entreprise américaine veut la jouer collectif. Cette opération séduction a été relancée lors de la grande conférence Microsoft Build à San Francisco, mercredi soir. Destinées aux développeurs, les annonces n’avaient pas de quoi créer une émeute mais en disent long sur la stratégie de la multinationale. Tiens, Linux n’est plus un « cancer » Le patron, Satya Nadella, affichait fièrement son ambition : « Reconquérir les développeurs du monde entier. » Mais ce ne sont pas ses 2,8% de parts de marché des systèmes d’exploitation mobiles dans le monde qui vont mobiliser les foules. Linux s’affiche chez Microsoft (Microsoft Build) On est bien loin de l’époque durant laquelle Steve Ballmer, ex-PDG de Microsoft, traitait Linux de « cancer ». Oh, un MacBook sur la scène ! Oh, une keynote d’Apple ! « Avec Apple, vous développez pour OS X et iOS. Enrayer la chute de Windows

Here’s What You Should Know Before You Date An ENTP ENTPs – Or extroverted, intuitive, thinking perceivers – are anything but dull as romantic partners. This highly perceptive type is best matched with someone who uses introverted intuition as their primary function – namely INTJs and INFJs. If you’re thinking about pursuing someone of the ENTP personality type, here are a few things you should know before you do. 1. If there’s anything an ENTP loves, it’s spearheading a new project that will have a lifespan of anywhere from one day to the rest of their lives. If you’re interested in winning the heart of an ENTP, you have to understand that their latest idea is always going to be the center of their world. 2. ENTPs are quick thinkers and smooth talkers – two qualities that can be difficult to keep up with. It’s important to note that debates and intellectual discussions are rarely, if ever, personal for the ENTP – they are simply a form of mental exercise that provides this type with energy. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
9 Unmistakable Signs You’re Dating An INTJ INTJs are the rational, strategic planners of the Myers-Briggs world. They hold high personal standards for both themselves and others. This analytical type finds themselves drawn to relationships with other intuitive-dominant types who place a high value on intellectual exploration. If the person you’re dating exhibits most of the following behaviors, chances are you’ve got an INTJ on your hands. 1. INTJs are not impulsive people. 2. INTJs are interested in people – what makes them tick, what pushes their buttons and how they operate on a rational and emotional level. 3. If you’ve planned a dinner date with an INTJ on Friday, please – for the love of God – do not call them up Thursday night and say you’d rather go to a party. 4. To the INTJ, arousal is not purely instinctual. 5. We all sugar coat our own core feelings – it’s how we stay emotionally stable. 6. INTJs have no patience for passive-aggressive comments or subtle remarks. 7. 8. 9.

The end of capitalism has begun The red flags and marching songs of Syriza during the Greek crisis, plus the expectation that the banks would be nationalised, revived briefly a 20th-century dream: the forced destruction of the market from above. For much of the 20th century this was how the left conceived the first stage of an economy beyond capitalism. The force would be applied by the working class, either at the ballot box or on the barricades. The lever would be the state. The opportunity would come through frequent episodes of economic collapse. Instead over the past 25 years it has been the left’s project that has collapsed. If you lived through all this, and disliked capitalism, it was traumatic. As with the end of feudalism 500 years ago, capitalism’s replacement by postcapitalism will be accelerated by external shocks and shaped by the emergence of a new kind of human being. Postcapitalism is possible because of three major changes information technology has brought about in the past 25 years.
What Each Myers-Briggs Type Does In A Rut (The Rise Of The Inferior Function) | Thought Catalog | Page 5 Each Myers-Briggs personality type reacts to prolonged stress in a slightly different form. While there may be a simple answer for helping each type through a bad day, the solution to helping each type snap out of a rut is slightly more complicated. We tend to fall into ruts when our first three cognitive functions have failed to aid us in a particular situation and we are forced to rely on our inferior function to get by.* Because we are not used to relying primarily on our inferior function, doing so often facilitates the development of an unhealthy mindset (or a ‘rut’) that we have trouble snapping out of. For a closer look at what your ‘rut’ looks like, find and click on your type below: NF Types: ENFP, INFP, ENFJ, INFJ SF Types: ESFP, ESFJ, ISFJ, ISFP ST Types:ESTP, ISFP, ESTJ, ISTJ NT Types: ENTJ, ENTP, INTP, INTJ *Note: Relying on one’s inferior function is only one of several unhealthy type manifestations.
