Life will inevitably have failures and setbacks, but it is how you respond that defines your character and success. During difficult times, have courage to keep moving forward through perseverance and faith that your efforts will lead to opportunity again in the future. Staying determined and continuing to work hard even when facing obstacles are how one can overcome challenges and achieve their goals.
The Museum of Life contains exhibits showcasing human life, death, and beliefs about the afterlife. It includes images of a biblical story of resurrection, a skeleton, and the concept of reincarnation - showing the full human experience from living to what may come after death.

25 Wine Festivals in Europe (August 2016 I April 2017) Plan 5 d.o.o.
We made the new presentation which we named 25 Wine Festivals in Europe from August 2016 to April 2017. The wine festivals have one mission, to bring people together and build new business partnerships all around the world.
This week we will introduce to you the most famous Food Events in Europe. So you can experience the European culture, history, and traditions first of all, through its diverse and quality food.
Goldilocks explores an empty house in the woods belonging to three bears. She tries each of their porridges but finds one too hot, one too cold, and one just right. She then tries the chairs and finds one too big, one too hard, and one just right. Finally, she tries the beds and finds one too lumpy, one too hard, and one just right. The bears return home and discover signs that someone has been in their house. They find Goldilocks asleep in Baby Bear's bed. She wakes up and escapes from the bears.
Wine began as a basic foodstuff but is now also viewed as a collectible commodity. It has evolved from being part of the staple European diet to a status symbol driven by media coverage and investment potential. Traditionally, the top fine wines came from Bordeaux, Burgundy and Rhone but 'Cult' wines from new regions also emerged. Increased globalization and online trading have further transformed wine into both an item to consume and an investment. However, this poses challenges around branding, authenticity and distribution for traditional producers.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts

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.

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. The job search should involve building a personal brand on LinkedIn, actively applying to jobs, tailoring resumes and interviews, maintaining job hunting as a habit, and continuing self-improvement. Once hired, the document advises setting new goals and keeping skills and networking active in case of future opportunities.

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.

This presentation will look at how perception and consumption of wine has changed over time from being regarded as a drink of celebration and feast; to an essential staple food; to fast moving consumer good (FMCG); and in its ultimate incarnation, a collectible investment. To do this it is necessary to skip through a little of the history of wine and human society, concentrating on pivotal moments and key developments that have influenced the relatively recent phenomenon of wine collection. We’ll then move into the modern era and look at some dollar values, what is happening today, and finally some emerging issues.
People have been making and enjoying wine (made from grapes) for at least 8,000 years. From the archeological evidence it is clear that its consumption was tied into primitive religious beliefs and customs that have long since disappeared or transmuted into the current religions we recognise today. (The Stone Pages, 2003). Wine was produced for feasts, festivals and celebrations but had no intrinsic value – in other words it wasn’t really worth anything. Neither was it something that was drunk on a daily basis as part of everyday life. However, over time this changed. Inevitably, as is the human way, those who made wine started to use it to exchange for other goods with those who did not make wine. It had become a commodity – it was now worth something. Arguably the modern notion of collecting and investing in wine can trace its origins to this period in history. However, transporting wine wasn’t easy since it was stored in large, heavy and cumbersome ceramic vessels. So, it became easier to export the raw material – the vines themselves – and the knowledge cultivation and fermentation. And so wine began to spread and its consumption to become more ingrained in daily life.
Skipping forward in time with the Greeks having spread wine around the Mediterranean we arrive at the great Roman Empire. Apart from the roads, sanitation, education and many other things they seem to have been the first to spot the potential for wine to improve. As Hugh Johnson notes “Rome’s great vintages were discussed and even drunk for longer than seems possible; the famous Optimian … 121 BC – was being drunk when it was 125 years old” (Johnson, 1997). So by then wine, or at least some wine, had acquired a value beyond merely its worth as a trade item. Modern marketers would say that it had developed benefits to the consumer. It was moving from being an everyday household necessitated by filthy drinking water to something more. It was desirable - no longer a need but a want.
The British, more specifically the English, have historically had a significant influence on the development of wine and continue to exert a great influence today as major consumers (and as dealers in fine wine - which will be looked at later). Possibly the most famous wine region in the world and one which today produces the most expensive and collectible wines owes its status to the English: “Bordeaux’s pre-eminence began as a result of the English connection” (Robinson, 2006). That connection started in the Middle Ages (1152) with marriage of Eleanor of Aquitaine to Henry II of England. Large parts of what is modern-day France became part of England. And the English loved their Claret – derived from the French Clairet, the pale red wines made in Bordeaux. They even dropped the export tax on it to make it cheaper to move from Bordeaux to England. The Dutch involvement is not nearly so romantic and came 400 years later. “It was the Dutch who drained the marshy Medoc in the mid 17 century, thereby creating the basis for the fine wines that made Bordeaux’s reputation throughout the world” (Robinson, 2006). Those wines include La Tour, Lafite and Margaux – wines that are now the most sought after by collectors and investors. The second English monarch to have an enduring influence on wine was Charles II. It was less of a direct influence than that Henry II. He didn’t acquire land but he did set trends and introduce a more liberal attitude to his court and high-society. Champagne began to take-off because “… it was English aristocrats who developed the taste for sparkling wine…” (Robinson, 2006). Eventually Champagne would become some of the most successful, expensive, desirable and collectible wine in the world.
Wine was being kept in bottles as far back as Roman times but it was not a reliable or robust storage medium. Glass making technology in Europe improved and by the early 1700s wine was kept in flask-like bottles resembling a carafe, which had glass stoppers. By the early 1800s English glass makers had perfected a mass production technique for uniform cylindrical bottles that are the basis for modern bottles (It was also English glass makers that created a bottle strong enough to safely contain Champagne). At about the same time as the modern bottle was developed, cork – a long forgotten closure used by the Romans – was re-introduced to the scene (The Brits again). It was already realised that some wine got better with age and these two developments meant that wine could now be stored securely on its side, stacked bottle upon bottle (known as Binning) to quietly age and improve. So it was now possible to collect and store wine, for those who could afford it, at home.
People continued to buy and keep wine without much fuss for almost 200 years. During that time certain wines – mainly those from Bordeaux and Burgundy – acquired greater status and command higher and higher prices. And then the 1980s happened. It was a decade of excess; instant millionaire stock-brokers; shiny supercars; red braces; shoulder pads and greed is good. There was an explosion of wealth and the newly rich started to buy big. Apart from extravagant houses, Lear jets and Lamborghinis they began to put their money into art and wine. Vulgar displays of wealth aside there are definite parallels between art and wine collection. The major difference being we can all share and enjoy a fantastic piece of art at a gallery but as we’ll see later the same can’t be said for wine. The trend carried through the 1990s and right upto the recent global recession. In fact there are some who believe there are indications that wine investment is almost recession proof. So whilst people have been collecting wine for the own consumption for a longtime it is only really in the last few decades that it has been elevated from collectible to bankable – and maybe bullet-proof - investment. It’s all about the money.
So in terms of dollar value what are we looking at? 1787 Chateau Lafite = US $156,000. The world’s most expensive wine sold at auction (1985) 1945 Chateau Mouton-Rothschild Jeroboam = US $114,614 (at auction 1997) 1907 Heidsieck Champagne = US $275,000. These hundred year old bottles of Champagne from the Heidsieck vineyard in Champagne took over eighty years to reach their destination. Shipped to the Russian Imperial family in 1916, a shipwreck off the coast of Finland caused this champagne to be lost at sea until divers discovered over 200 bottles in 1997. Now they’re finally being sold—to wealthy guests at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Moscow, at least. (The Most Expensive Journal, 2006) The 2009 Bordeaux vintage has been hailed as one of the best ever and prices en primeur (i.e. before bottling) have reached astonishing levels. For example Chateau Margaux, Margaux = GBP £4,000 per case of six. (The Wine Society, 2010)
For the avid and financially secure collector there are organisations like The Wine Society. Although it has been around since 1874 it is a thoroughly modern society and offers members not only the opportunity to buy wine (of all price points) but also fine wine advice; how to plan a vintage cellar; vintage guides; and even temperature controlled storage facilities – which are pictured on the slide. (The Wine Society, 2010). Many keen wine enthusiasts simply buy cases of their favourite wine and put it to one side, drinking a bottle or two a year. This is the divide between collecting and investing – generally speaking collectors, whether they store wine at home or in special facilities, do so with the intention of drinking it …. when the time is right. However, wine investment is a different beast and it is still big business with many cases of highly valuable wine being traded and changing owners without ever leaving the bonded warehouses they are stored in. According to Decanter the current price for 2009 Lafitte is 550 Euros = NZ$1000, an increase of 323% from 2008. Such huge prices mean that collecting wines like this is very much a rich man’s game and “price itself becomes the primary reason for collecting” (Jefford, 2010). It is likely the wine will never be opened or if it is then it will only be enjoyed be a tiny clique of the ultra-wealthy, privileged few. Whether you regard that a great pity or simple financial a fact of life is a matter of personal opinion. Investing in wine is tricky and like any investment subject to risk. Fraud is not uncommon, as a Guardian article warns, “Would-be investors should proceed with caution and deal with reputable operators as there have been scams. The Serious Fraud Office jailed three men and a woman in 2008 for operating a fraudulent wine scheme promising stellar returns” (Moya, 2010) Even that $160,000 of Chateau Lafitte wasn’t exactly what it claimed to be. It had been claimed that it came from the cellar of the third US President Thomas Jefferson (and the man who wrote The Declaration of Independence). This undoubtedly added to the dollar value achieved at auction. However, the Jefferson connection was subsequently comprehensively disproven. Today scientists can use extremely advanced technology, including particle accelerators, to test wine and wine bottles. To combat fraud wineries have begun to insert vine DNA encoded tags on the inside of closures. (Tzabar, 2008)
In terms of investment risk the following illustrates some cold hard statistics: Just how much does a wine increase in value over time? Lets take a look at a 1961 Ch. Latour. On release in 1961 dollars, it cost $3 to purchase. Currently it is selling at auction for approximately $500. This is a return on investment of just over 15% annually for 35 years 1 . I picked 1961 Latour because it is a best case scenario. For our second case, let us pick something less illustrious: 1975 Ch. Cissac. A lesser Bordeaux wine from a lesser vintage. Ch. Cissac was released for about $4 a bottle, it currently fetches $15 at auction. That is a ROI 2 of only 6.5%. Clearly not all wines make great investments. Let us return to Ch. Latour for our 3rd example, but from 1975. Great wine, moderate year. Released at $20 it would now bring $75 at auction. Again our ROI is only 6.5%. Not considered in the above examples of ROI are the costs involved in storing the wine (condition of the wine at at the time of the auction can vary the value as much as 100%). If you have a passive cellar with existing racking than these costs may not enter the equation. If you use a plug in device to moderate the temperature of the aging wine then you need to add as much as $10 a month 3 for the cost of utilities (much more in Europe and other countries where electricity is more expensive than the US). In the above best possible scenario, the 61 Latour, this reduces the ROI from 15% to around 12%. In the other scenarios it brings the 6.5% down to a loss of over 200%. (Buyers & Cellars, 2010) Historically London and New York have been the hubs for sales of valuable wine but after China abolished all tax and duty on wine in Hong Kong in 2008 it has developed rapidly as a major centre - particularly for the expanding Asian market. “… a clique of affluent super-collectors in Hong Kong has established a reputation for outbidding global connoisseurs when top vintages have come up for sale” (Reuters, 2010) Interestingly these new Asian collectors are actually consuming much of the wine they purchase. Since the price these wines command is derived from a combination of reputation, quality and scarcity they are actually driving prices up because the wines are getting increasingly scarce. On the other hand the economic recession has lead to some investors liquidating parts of their collection to raise cash: “ In the last few weeks, private collectors submitted offers to sell US$10 million worth of wine to Vinfolio, a San Francisco-based company that buys and sells wine online. Normally the company has about US$6 million offered to it” (Reuters, 2010) So, if anyone has a spare few bucks then there are bargains to be had! But do your homework – Decanter has some good advice.
