13 techniques pour ne jamais abandonner La principale raison qui fait que les gens n’obtiennent pas ce qu’ils veulent, c’est qu’ils abandonnent trop tôt. Ca peut être n’importe quoi, mais souvent le schéma est le même : vous n’avez pas obtenu ce que vous vouliez alors vous avez abandonné. Arrêtez d’abandonner ! La persévérance est de ces qualités qui font la différence dans une vie. Une qualité, ce n’est pas de l’inné. Voilà quelques techniques pour apprendre à être persévérant et vous aider à ne pas baisser les bras à la prochaine difficulté. 1- Faites du sport Ca peut paraître surprenant comme premier conseil pour ne pas abandonner.

Regardez quelqu’un faire quelque chose qui semble impossible.

The surprising truth about Denmark in the Holocaust This article first appeared on newrepublic.com This magnificent book states its central argument in its title. Danish Jews survived Hitler’s rule in World War II, when other European Jews did not, because Danes regarded their Jewish neighbors as countrymen. There was no “us” and “them”; there was just us. When, in October 1943, the Gestapo came to round up the 7,500 Jews of Copenhagen, the Danish police did not help them to smash down the doors. The story may have ended well, but it is a complex tale. The Danes knew long before the war that their army could not resist a German invasion. The nation in question was imagined in civic terms rather than ethnic terms. The Danish response to the Nazis illuminates a crucial fact about the Holocaust: the Germans did not always force the issue of extermination where they faced determined resistance from occupied populations. Such general support across Danish society seems to have empowered the Jews of Copenhagen.

Help Remedies: simple healthcare products for headaches, bodyaches, allergies, sleep issues, cuts and blisters Bashar Al Assad: an intimate profile of a mass murderer In 1982, not long after his father's military pulverized a town called Hama, Bashar Al Assad got a jet ski. It was the tail end of one of the bloodiest periods in Syrian history—what one intellectual called “the hunting time.” In Damascus, a white Peugeot 504 idled on every other corner with mukhabarat, or secret police, inside. Corruption and smuggling were ubiquitous; at least 30 percent of the country’s GDP, and probably much more, came from the black market. Everyday goods like bananas and paper tissues were hard to find; jet skis were practically unknown. Bashar was 16 years old, a pudgy, frizzy-haired kid with chipmunk cheeks and a double chin he would never grow out of. One day, as the story goes, Bashar was sitting at home with a friend when some boys he knew called. Yes, yes, of course! As soon as the boys hung up, Bashar summoned the head of the guards at the presidential palace. This coldness inspired in Bashar a quiet rebellion against his father’s cult of personality.

5 Legitimate Ways to Make Money Online as a Teacher As educators we have an important job: teaching the world’s youth. While the teaching profession consistently ranks as one of the top five “noble” job fields, it is also hard for many teachers to make a living without working a part-time job on the side. Many educators work in other fields during summers off, but it is sometimes tough to switch gears and move away from education for part-time work. This post is for those teachers, like myself, who are looking for some extra income and would like it to come via education. This is not to debate how much teachers should be paid, only to be realistic in the fact that many of us need extra money (who doesn’t these days!). We’ve studied hard, worked hard, and spent countless hours trying to get better at a very difficult profession. 1. I’ve been an SAT tutor for five years now, and it is a fantastic way to make extra money. We’ll keep coming back to the same premise: people will pay for your expertise, and your experience in teaching. 2. 3.

TicTrac is a Great Personal Data Aggregation Dashboard and Reporting Service The idea of aggregating data from disparate sources is a common issue on the internet and the search for doing this with social services was the impetus for this blog. I started to see this phenomenon become an issue for the quantified self community as more devices and services for tracking became available. I’ve seen several services come online to tackle the issue of aggregating quantified self related data over the last few years and list them here. One of the primary reasons for aggregating multiple sources of activity data is to provide a single view to more easily glean insights. A simple method to visualize this is by seeing multiple bar graphs plotted together based on these distinct data points. While TicTrac has the ability to provide a simple view for your data, it has a multitude of features and ways to tweak your views which I will go over to some degree here. In my above dashboard you can see I have a variety of widgets showing various metrics.

How to Make Drugs Better in 2014 Photo by Dana Boulos (fake gak, stunt gak, don't judge this model, it's toy gak). Graphic work by Sam Taylor. If you thought the days of getting a criminal record for having a spliff or two in your pocket were over, think again. Darren Williams, 24, was handed a 12-month conditional discharge and £100 fine for possessing £2 worth of cannabis. Unfortunately, for one person, the cost of being caught with a laughable amount of weed was much higher. A month before these three were put through the cash-gobbling court system, a coroner’s inquest in Manchester heard that 17-year-old student Edward Thornber killed himself because he had been summoned to court for possessing cannabis with a street value of 50p. No, Britain in 2013 was not exactly Mexico, where the streets are regularly littered with headless drug war corpses, nor was it China where hapless traffickers are executed each year in time for the UN’s International Drug Day.
