Tolstoy’s Reading List: Essential Books for Each Stage of Life by Maria Popova Even if one could never “finish” great literature, one has to begin somewhere. Shortly after his fiftieth birthday, Leo Tolstoy succumbed to a deep spiritual crisis and decided to pull himself out by finding the meaning of life. But despite his wide and prolific reading, Tolstoy did consider specific books especially important and influential in his development. Under the heading “WORKS WHICH MADE AN IMPRESSION,” Tolstoy divides his reading list into five distinct life-stages — beginning with childhood and ending with his age at the time — and ranks each title by excellence, from “great” to “v. great” to “enormous.” That only two known women figure in Tolstoy’s list is, one would imagine, less a function of his bias than of his era’s and his culture’s — though the latter certainly shape the former. “Great”: “V. great”: The Little Black Hen (public library) by Pogorelsky “Enormous”: The novels of Mrs. Les Misérables (public library) by Victor Hugo Donating = Loving

Beiersdorf Children’s Day Care Centre / Kadawittfeldarchitektur Architects: Kadawittfeldarchitektur Location: Eimsbüttel, Hamburg, Germany Project Manager: Arno Schleicher, Ben Beckers Area: 1750.0 sqm Year: 2013 Photographs: Werner Huthmacher From the architect. The two-storey new build is located next to a green area on the inner-city grounds of the Beiersdorf AG in Hamburg-Eimsbüttel. The extremely compact rectangular structure is arranged around a central, two-storey multi-purpose room, which functions as a play area and gathering space. The inserted coloured frames shape and structure the facade on the outside and offer the children a sense of direction and a way of identifying with their group. The children’s day care centre was awarded a DGNB Gold certificate by the German Sustainable Building Council at the end of November 2014. * Location to be used only as a reference.

Zentangle: meditación a través del dibujo Zentangle is a drawing method created by artists Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts that consists of tracing patterns that foster calm and meditation. The first rule: one line at a time. With this simple principle in mind, whoever carries out this activity achieves the organic combination of patterns that grow and flow naturally, until they develop into intricate shapes and designs. This is why another one of its principles involves the relation between the simple and the complex. Beginning with simple lines, Zentangle ends up being a complex network of patterns and pieces which, like a puzzle, result in a whole. Because it implies the flow of shapes that are generated intuitively, rrawing these patterns, which anyone can achieve, leads to calm and relaxation. Since it was created, Zentagle has gained many followers; communities have been formed, as well as websites for people who share its benefits and want to share its different techniques. The first rule: one line at a time.
Una desventaja comparativa para los emprendedores en América Latina - Ideas que cuentan La realidad de los emprendedores en América Latina no se parece en nada a la de otras regiones: empezando por el tamaño –la mayoría de las empresas son micro o pequeñas- y terminando por la motivación –los emprendedores son lo que son más por “necesidad” que por “oportunidad”. Además de estos rasgos, los emprendedores tienen escaso apetito por el riesgo y la innovación, lo cual, sumado a la disponibilidad limitada de capital humano, produce empresas menos complejas e innovadoras que sus contrapartes europeas o asiáticas. Basándose en una encuesta destinada a estudiar el proceso emprendedor de empresas nuevas y dinámicas en países seleccionados de América Latina (Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Ecuador, El Salvador, México y Perú) y países en otras regiones (el este asiático y la Europa mediterránea), Kantis, Juan y Trajtenberg revelan las diferencias entre iniciativas empresariales en estas regiones, centrándose en los emprendedores de clase media, que son el 55% del total.

10 wonderful books that all children should read The best books for children are neither educational nor moralizing. Rather, they are literary works that suggest that there are other views of human life than shopping and fashion trends; they are those that express an imaginative, unconventional and non-commercial vision of the world, and are essential readings because they define who will be and who will not be a reader for the rest of their life. If, for example, a child is given The Iliad or Don Quixote to read at the age of 12, the most likely result is that the world will lose a reader for good. Both are grueling reads and will only provoke a premature disenchantment with a language and a mythology that they would probably greatly enjoy later on in life. Children are the most demanding readers. The following is a list of some wonderful and memorable books for children, instruments of stimulation to begin to instill a genuine love of literature. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
