Modern parenting trends have focused on fostering children's emotional well-being and self-esteem. However, teachers and professionals are reporting increasing behavioral issues in young people. Research suggests praise for innate ability backfires and undermines effort and performance. Authoritative parenting with high warmth and control tends to produce the best outcomes in children. Setting appropriate limits through consistent discipline helps socialize children and supports their development.

El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.
PEPSICO Presentation to CAGNY Conference Feb 2024Neil Kimberley

How to Prepare For a Successful Job Search for 2024Albert Qian
The document provides guidance on preparing a job search for 2024. It discusses the state of the job market, focusing on growth in AI and healthcare but also continued layoffs. It recommends figuring out what you want to do by researching interests and skills, then conducting informational interviews.

Everyone is in agreement that ChatGPT (and other generative AI tools) will shape the future of work. Yet there is little consensus on exactly how, when, and to what extent this technology will change our world.
Businesses that extract maximum value from ChatGPT will use it as a collaborative tool for everything from brainstorming to technical maintenance.
For individuals, now is the time to pinpoint the skills the future professional will need to thrive in the AI age.
Check out this presentation to understand what ChatGPT is, how it will shape the future of work, and how you can prepare to take advantage.
The document provides career advice for getting into the tech field, including:
- Doing projects and internships in college to build a portfolio.
- Learning about different roles and technologies through industry research.
- Contributing to open source projects to build experience and network.
- Developing a personal brand through a website and social media presence.
- Networking through events, communities, and finding a mentor.
- Practicing interviews through mock interviews and whiteboarding coding questions.
Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

‘That New Book Smell’
WHEN Elizabeth Jane Handel was a young girl, her mother would
read books to her each night. A middle-school project — sorting old
books to donate to other schools — made Ms. Handel realize just how
lucky she was. She wanted to share the gift of reading, and a family
friend mentioned that women at the prison where she worked had
extremely limited resources.
Ms. Handel started A Book From Mom, a program to donate
children’s books to the women’s prison in Framingham, Mass. “I
thought if I put books in the prison, mothers could select a book when
their child came to visit and it would help ease the tension of the
visits,” says Ms. Handel, now 21 and a junior at Barnard College.

Ms. Handel requires all books be new, because “every child deserves
that new book smell.” Parents choose which book to read with their
children, and the child takes the book home as a gift. Ms. Handel, who
collects the books at drives and mails them, has since expanded the
program to other prisons in her home state of Massachusetts, and
dads can now participate.
An English major who wants to be a writer, Ms. Handel didn’t even
mention the organization when applying to college. She has benefited,
though. Running it has helped her develop public speaking and
leadership skills, she says. “It’s given me a lot of courage.” — KATIE

Score One for Peace
FOUR years ago, Mitch Arnold was sitting in his church in Fort
Atkinson, Wis., listening to a speech by a school principal from Haiti.
“What really got me was when he said that kids play soccer in dirt and
rock fields,” says Mr. Arnold, now 18. “They don’t have nice fields.
They use cans as goals. Here we have these nice fields with real goals,
real nets, real soccer balls, whereas they use whatever they can find
because they really want to play.”
Peace Is the Goal was born. The charitable foundation aims to spread
peace through “the world’s game.” Using his own money as well as
donations, Mr. Arnold bought balls, pumps, goals, shinguards, cleats,
uniforms and field cones and sent them to Haiti.
Since then, he has sent more than $27,000 worth of soccer equipment
to impoverished regions of 44 countries.
Next up, he hopes to go to the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities or
the University of Wisconsin, Madison, to study psychology and
Spanish. He plans to continue his charity in college. As he noted in his
application essays: “My gifts of compassion, peace and action would
only be equaled by my intellectual gifts that I would utilize in the
classroom and the lab. As a college student, I aim to grow as I help
others to grow.” — ABBY ELLIN
Putting Up a Fight
WHEN Dallas Jessup heard the statistics — that one in four girls
would be sexually assaulted and that thousands of others are
abducted each year — she wanted to fight back, something that comes
easier to her than most others. A black belt in tae kwon do at 13 and
an expert in Filipino street fighting, Ms. Jessup wanted to share her
self-defense skills with girls.
“I have the skills to protect myself,” Ms. Jessup, now 19, recalls
thinking. “Most girls don’t. Why don’t I help them out?”
Ms. Jessup wanted to make a video on self-defense techniques, and
her mother urged her to take a script-writing class at a community

college near their home in Vancouver, Wash. Ms. Jessup told the
professor of her plans, and within two months he helped her secure
scores of extras and $600,000 in cash and in-kind donations. The
film, “Just Yell Fire,” demonstrates fighting techniques like chokeholds
and gives tips from law enforcement officials.
The experience kicked off a career. While still in high school, Ms.
Jessup flew around the world speaking about self-defense and female
empowerment, and has testified before Congress. The video is
available at justyellfire.com as a free download. Organizations can sell
it with proceeds going back to her nonprofit organization; speaking
fees go toward her tuition at Vanderbilt University, where she is now a
sophomore.
Ms. Jessup says “Just Yell Fire” and her public speaking were a big
part of her college application and interview process. “I’d hear from
girls who got away from situations because of what I taught them, and
that’s so much more important to me than a 100 on a test,” she says.
“A 91 was fine.” She told the admissions staff: “Who are you going to
let in? Another 4.5 G.P.A. student or a young revolutionary who is
going to change the world?”
Ms. Jessup has curtailed her travel and pulled back from the day-to-
day running of the “Just Yell Fire” Web site to concentrate on school.
She is a communications studies major and wants to go into broadcast
journalism, something she saw first-hand while being interviewed
about “Just Yell Fire.”
“I think the media has such power,” Ms. Jessup says. “I’d love to be
involved in that and help shed light on solutions to social issues.” —

A Greener Way to Fish
IT began with a simple question: “Dad, what happens to all the lead
weights we use while fishing?”
Mike Browne, who had been fishing with his father for as long as he
could remember, didn’t give the matter much thought until it came
time to plan his Eagle Scout project. “I didn’t want to just clean up a
park,” he says. “Then, for whatever reason, I remembered that
question and how I’d never gotten an answer.”
Mr. Browne discovered that waterfowl and fish ingest the lead fishing
weights, which dissolve in their stomachs. Lead poisoning leads to
physical and behavioral changes that make these animals more
vulnerable to predators and unable to care for their young. He found a
Tufts University study that showed that a little more than half of adult
loon deaths are caused by lead poisoning. Mr. Browne decided
something needed to be done.
He sent letters of solicitation to more than 70 companies, including
Wal-Mart and fishing-weight manufacturers. With donations in hand,
he began compiling sample packs of lead-free weights and

information about his campaign, and handed them out at fishing
derbies around his home state of Massachusetts.
“It seemed wrong when there are plenty of other alternatives,” Mr.
Browne says. Fishermen can make their own weights with stones and
copper wire.
In 2007, Mr. Browne testified before a Massachusetts State Senate
subcommittee, and on Earth Day 2008, George W. Bush honored him
with the President’s Environmental Youth Award. Mr. Browne and his
Scout mates traveled to Sweden to represent the United States at a
United Nations youth environmental competition.
To date, he and his team have collected and recycled nearly 65 pounds
of lead, or 8,000 to 10,000 weights, and several states now ban or
limit the use of lead sinkers.
Edward Browne, Mike’s father, says he is amazed at how big his son’s
campaign became. “It’s phenomenal that Mike was able to find an
outlet like this,” he says. “It’s his from the ground up and gone on for
years.”
While the lead-free materials are still in demand, school is Mike
Browne’s priority. Now a 19-year-old freshman studying
electromechanical engineering at the Wentworth Institute of
Technology in Boston, he hopes to work at an aerospace company
someday.
The project, he says, has helped him become more organized and
taught him to speak in front of crowds of officials — no small
accomplishment for someone like Mr. Browne, who has Asperger’s
syndrome.
“People with Asperger’s become fixated with certain ideas,” Mr.
Browne explains. “It helped me with this project because it allowed me
to focus, to concentrate on one thing. I don’t want to be ‘cured’ of it —
it’s part of who I am.” — INYOUNG KANG
