Sometimes the best thing in life is a simple rule that promises to
solve a complex problem. Bonus points if the problem concerns human
behavior, and the rule sports a catchy, easy-to-remember number.

In each case, a modicum of research gave a scientific spit shine to an
otherwise casual observation. Yes, it takes time and dedication to
master a skill, but there’s nothing magical about the 10,000-hour
mark. Yes, genetics play a role in happiness, but our choices and
circumstances also alter our genes. And yes, people have different
personalities, but there’s little valid and reliable data to suggest
everyone will fit neatly into one of 16 boxes.

I sleep on a lot of bedding. It comes with the territory when you test
bed sheets and comforters for a living. I've slept on everything from
bamboo and silk to plain-weave cotton, but there's a term I've seen
quite often in bedding materials that I didn't know much about:
lyocell. So I had to know. What makes it different from other bedding
materials? Is it more comfortable to sleep on? Are the cooling and
eco-conscious descriptions I often saw accurate? What's Tencel, and is
it different from lyocell?

Lyocell is a cellulose-based, man-made fiber similar to fabrics like
rayon with purported eco-friendly benefits in the manner it's
manufactured. Is it the magic solution to eco-friendly sheets? No. But
it's a move in the right direction, and there's plenty of opportunity
for lyocell to become an even more eco-conscious choice.

delightful treasures. Sign up here.The poetic geniusâtortured,

comes from simple wonder: The best poetry makes us marvel at the human

ways, whether it's "'twas brillig, and the slithy toves" or "beauty is
truth, truth beauty,âthat is all / Ye know on earth" or "my Life had

What's Really Epic About 'Furiosa'
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=5210&nl=daily]    
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=5210&nl=daily]

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=5210&nl=daily]
Even as a little girl, Furiosa understood the value of staying hidden
in the wasteland of postapocalyptic Earth, where resources are scarce,
war is everlasting, and strangers are immediately treated as threats.
But keeping out of sight is not the easiest task in the Mad Max films.
The director George Miller's dystopian setting conceals little; his
bleak hellscapes provide the perfect stage for thunderous
exhibitionism, the kind that yields characters such as the Doof
Warrior, who shreds a flame-throwing electric guitar to lead militias
into battle. For most humans in this world, surviving means roaring
through life with ruthless ferocity on armor-plated vehicles. The
madder you are, the better off you'll be.Yet Furiosa draws strength
from quiet control; she's a largely silent, sensible observer who
refuses to succumb to the insanity of her surroundings. Her origin
story, told in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, shows similar restraint: The
film, in theaters this week, does not move at the breakneck pace of
2015's stupendous Mad Max: Fury Road, an extended chase sequence of a
movie that first introduced the character played by Charlize Theron.
Instead, Furiosa is a complex, contemplative, and sprawling picture
that explores the price of holding on to your humanityâhiding it,
tending to itâin a world that argues against its very value. The
result is a film that's perhaps less propulsive than its predecessor
but no less visceral to watch.

If I've learned anything in the business world, it's that adopting a
"philanthropy-first" mindset is a smart approach. By philanthropy
first, I don't mean writing checks left and right. I mean focusing on
how you can meet others' needs before your own. 

People with philanthropic spirits look for opportunities to support
and elevate the people around them. When they find those
opportunities, they act on them quickly without expecting anything in
return. The result? They become far more valuable to every individual
they touch.

Second, during our discussion, I learned something important: The
person who wrote the marketing copy hadn't pulled that phrase out of
thin air. Instead, she was paraphrasing something I'd said in an
earlier meeting about the book.

This was intriguing: When people asked about my work, it seemed, I was
happy to attribute at least some of my success to luck. But when
someone else downplayed my hard work and used almost the exact same
language, I reacted very differently.

Whatever position you occupy in an organization, whether you're an
executive or a manager, a supervisor or a frontline employee, managing
up is a key skill that can have a tremendously positive impact on your
career success and overall job satisfaction.

Managing up does not mean becoming your boss's boss--not even.
Instead, it means being acutely attuned to what your boss needs to
succeed and then doing your best to provide it. When you align your
goals with theirs, communicate effectively, and build strong
professional relationships with your boss, you both win. And, of
course, so does your team and your organization.

Reading too much into the language seems, at this point, to be less of
a danger than reading too little into it.

This week, Israel released an appalling video featuring five female
Israeli soldiers taken captive at Nahal Oz military base on October 7.
Fearful and bloody, the women beg for their lives while Hamas fighters
mill around and alternately threaten to kill them and compliment their
appearance. The captors call the women "sabaya," which Israel
translated as "women who can get pregnant." Almost immediately, others
disputed the translation and said sabaya referred merely to "female
captives" and included no reference to their fertility. "The Arabic
word sabaya doesn't have sexual connotations," the Al Jazeera
journalist Laila Al-Arian wrote in a post on X, taking exception to a
Washington Post article that said that it did. She said the Israeli
translation was "playing on racist and orientalist tropes about Arabs
and Muslims."

How often have you logged into a tool and seen a pop-up asking you to

me, the user, I immediately question the company's product launch
strategy. 

SaaS companies' product launch strategies commonly vary with their
maturity. Generally speaking, the younger the product and team, the
less likely they have a strong launch strategy. Yet this is an
important step in your customer's end-to-end experience, no matter
your corporate "age." Launching a successful product is about more
than just creating a great product. You must have a well-thought-out
product launch strategy that will generate education and excitement
about your roadmap and leads to adoption.

There's an old adage about oysters: During months whose names don't

away.

An oyster eaten outside these months should have a satisfying snap,
like al dente pasta, says Shina Wysocki, the farm director at Chelsea
Farms, in Washington State. That slightly firm texture is a sign that
you're eating a sexually immature oyster. But summer oystersâthat is,
oysters in their mating seasonânaturally get flabby, and their gonads
swell with gametes. "It's sperm and eggs," says Gary Fleener, the
senior scientist at Hog Island Oyster Co., in Marshall, California.
"It coats your mouth like heavy cream does." It is, shall we say, an
eating experience that not everyone finds appetizing.

How Far Will Republicans Go to Become Trump's Vice President?
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=5210&nl=daily]    
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=5210&nl=daily]

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=5210&nl=daily]
As the vice-presidential sweepstakes continues, Republicans are vying
for a slot as former President Donald Trump's potential running mate.
Some of the Republicans interested in joining the campaign, including
Senators Marco Rubio and Tim Scott, have taken to publicly expressing
their loyalty to Trump in interviews, going so far as to suggest that
they would refuse the results of an election where Trump does not win.
This rhetoric could suggest what the former president is looking for
in a VP.

"This is not about litigating 2020," Mara Liasson said on Washington
Week With The Atlantic last night, in response to clips from
interviews with Rubio and Scott. "This is a party whose leadership
says they will not accept the results of an election unless they win.
The peaceful transfer of power is the bedrock of democracy and one
party doesn't believe in it."
