Having reached adolescence, some children believe that they have already lived enough in the world and received the necessary knowledge. And all these cosines are divorced from real life and are unlikely to be useful in the future.

To convince a teenager that learning is not only cramming, but the task is also almost impossible. It is better to compromise and agree that it is not necessary to get fives in all subjects.

How to convince a teenager to study?

Calmly talk to your teenager about where he sees himself in the future. Let his ideas about a good profession be very different from yours, but you don’t need to convince him – most likely, in a year he will change his mind. Try to show how the content of each subject relates to the chosen work. For example, a master in a tattoo parlor needs not only to draw well but also to know biology and chemistry in case of allergic reactions. And also – mathematics to calculate the profitability of the salon, computer science to create commercials yourself.

Agree with him that you will not demand good grades in all subjects – if he himself chooses the two or three most necessary ones and tries to study them perfectly.

In a relaxed atmosphere, tell some real-life stories that show that a lack of knowledge can seriously harm a career and deprive a person of some prospects.

Smooth adaptation

Many children are so relaxed after a long summer that they can’t get themselves together and switch to work mode. A gradual change in the daily routine will help to adapt.

Don’t let your child go to bed after 10 pm. So he will quickly get used to the need to get up for the first lesson.

Remember that at the last parent-teacher meeting, the teacher asked to improve English, algebra or chemistry, and find a tutor for a teenager so that he can study with him several times during the week. Then studying in high school will not turn out to be a lot of stress for him.

Ask your son or daughter to clean up your workplace – sort out drawers, shelves with school supplies to put things in order. By shifting books, the child will one way or another tune into a working mood and will be able to immerse himself in learning faster.

SECOND MARRIAGE: FIVE IMPORTANT BENEFITS https://mattsbabes.co.uk/second-marriage-five-important-benefits/ https://mattsbabes.co.uk/second-marriage-five-important-benefits/#respond Sat, 16 Mar 2024 14:38:33 +0000 https://mattsbabes.co.uk/?p=1202 The first time we get married for great and bright love. But for those who have suffered disappointment and the case ended in divorce, it is much more difficult to get close to the next partner. But nothing is impossible and old wounds heal over time. Moreover, the second marriage has a number of undeniable advantages.

1. Without eternal expectations

Eternal love and ideality in everything are no longer expected from the second man. There comes an understanding that everyone has their own shortcomings, and even the moral readiness to coexist with them.

 2. Clarity of vision

In general, you already understand your own desires much better, you already have your own clear positions on all points of life together, and not just a vague “so that everything is like in a fairy tale.” This makes life easier and more logical.

3. Compromise

Knowing in practice that relationships are a fragile thing, and getting out of them is not the most painless process, you try not to bring it to the point where the accumulated problems pour over your heads like a waterfall. Talking and finding out is a skill that is most often developed in second marriage!

 4. Without unnecessary emotions

The second marriage, most likely, will no longer be so emotional. But he will certainly be more prosperous in terms of household arrangements and peace of mind. And it’s natural.

 5. Without tragedy and drama

If the second marriage suddenly for some reason does not work out, you will no longer be killed as much as the first time. You already know that it is quite possible to survive – and then it can be even more interesting!

Data Anonymization: How Does It Relate To GDPR https://mattsbabes.co.uk/data-anonymization-how-does-it-relate-to-gdpr/ Sat, 16 Mar 2024 12:28:44 +0000 https://mattsbabes.co.uk/?p=1974

The General Data Protection Law (LGPD) deals with the protection of personal information transmitted on the network. Enacted in 2018, this is a standard that can lead to changes in the way telecommunications services are provided. 

As a result, data anonymization can become a strong demand for many business models in the IT market. Knowing a little more about this legislative news is very interesting.

It is worth remembering that masked data is not protected by the LGPD. However, it is important to know the techniques so that the information is not unduly exposed or subject the company to fines and legal proceedings. This is also a way of adapting internal processes to the best information security practices.

Interested in the subject? So, now see more details about the data anonymization trend. Come with us and happy reading!

What is data anonymization?

Data anonymization consists of the process of modifying or removing, from the databases, information that allows identifying a person, such as age, telephone numbers, gender, address, surnames, and CPF. This technique is also called data masking and data sanitization. Handling this sensitive knowledge is crucial to preventing incidents of data breaches in the future.

Depending on the context and business niche, only pseudo-anonymization of user data can be performed. In this case, only part of the personal information is changed or deleted. In this way, the security of the information as a whole is improved.

What is the relationship of data anonymization to GDPR?

There is a discussion about the effectiveness of anonymizing data because, in some situations, it is possible to reverse the technique and re-identify users. Therefore, the LGPD reinforces that companies create masking solutions that guarantee or hinder the irreversibility of this process.

Thus, the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD), created by Provisional Measure nº 869/2018, will be able to define standards and good practices for anonymization and carry out security checks. The General Data Protection Law will come into force in the second half of 2020. Therefore, it is important that IT businesses adapt to this new scenario and redesign their workflows.

Next, learn about some of the main data anonymization techniques!

Encryption

Symmetric-key encryption algorithms are applied to exchange users’ sensitive data for encrypted data. As a result, the information remains confidential and not visible even to IT personnel.

Generalization

The values ​​of the semi-identifying attributes are replaced by more generic information that still represents the users. The attributes and columns of the tables are categorized. An example put the CEP 70.000 in all registered addresses.

Suppression

It consists of excluding the values ​​of the identifier and semi-identifier attributes from the already anonymized table. This technique is used a lot in statistical databases to avoid microdata.

Disturbance

This is the masking of information. In this case, the real data is exchanged for fictitious values. RDP (Random Data Perturbation) or information condensation algorithms can be used.

Finally, data anonymization is a demand that will bring considerable changes to technology companies. Given this, it is interesting to know a little more about ISO 17799 standards, data restoration, and managed antivirus. Relying on the experience of specialists is also a valid action.

TOM HARDY: BIOGRAPHY, PERSONAL LIFE, FILMOGRAPHY https://mattsbabes.co.uk/tom-hardy-biography-personal-life-filmography/ Sat, 16 Mar 2024 12:28:44 +0000 https://mattsbabes.co.uk/?p=1264 Tom Hardy is a British film actor known for his roles in cult films and TV series. Read his bio right now! There were many turning points in Tom Hardy’s life – the fight against drugs, relationship problems, but he was able to overcome all obstacles for the sake of his cherished dream – to be an actor!

Name: Edward Thomas Hardy

Date of birth: September 15, 1977

Zodiac Sign: Virgo

Height: 175

Childhood and youth

Edward Thomas Hardy was born on September 15, 1977, in London. The boy was the only child of Elizabeth Barrett and Edward “Chips” Hardy. Thomas’ mother was an artist, and his father was a writer and screenwriter.

Shortly after the birth of their son, the family moved to one of the best areas of London – East Sheen. Representatives of the creative elite of London lived there – writers, artists, artists. The Hardy family fit in perfectly with the atmosphere of the area.

All the love and care of the parents was devoted to Thomas, they instilled in him creative abilities from childhood, taught him to read books and listen to good music, and sent him on vacation abroad. Thomas attended a private school.

But no matter how hard the parents tried, the boy was a naughty child. Thomas’s friends were not only classmates from a private school but also children from not entirely prosperous families.

Drug problems

At the age of 11, Thomas first heard what drugs were – at school they were told how dangerous their use was. At 13 – Tom tried his first dose, and since then his addiction has dragged on for 15 years. In one of his interviews, Tom Hardy admitted that he was ready to “sell his mother for a dose.”

At the age of 15, the young man was expelled from school for drug and alcohol abuse. Addiction also led to problems with the law. Hardy was arrested for stealing a car, but thanks to his father’s connections, he managed to avoid prison. Drugs pushed Tom to rash acts, once he even admitted that he woke up with an unfamiliar naked man in the same bed.

In 2003, in the Soho area of ​​London, Tom Hardy was found barely alive. The actor had a drug overdose.

One day, after a particularly fiery crack party, I woke up on the floor in a pool of blood. Then I surrendered to the hospital – that “I” was already disgusting to myself, even I could no longer find excuses for it. Precisely disgusting, – share Tom.

This was the impetus for Hardy to rethink his life. The actor went to a rehabilitation center and was forever tied up with drugs.

Carrier start

Although Tom was a drug addict, he did not lose interest in art, especially in acting. Back in his school years, his mother gave him to a theater studio, where Tom first appeared on stage. And at the age of 18, he entered the Richmond School of Actors but was expelled. Nevertheless, the actor managed to unlearn themself at the London School of Drama.

At the age of 19, Tom Hardy took part in the famous British show “The Big Breakfast’s Find Me-98” and won it! The winning was a contract with a modeling agency.

The aspiring actor played his first role in the American TV series Band of Brothers in 2001. Although the role was not big – just a couple of lines for the whole season – this was Tom Hardy’s first step into the film industry. After that, Tom Hardy had several more episodic roles in the films Black Hawk Down and Day of Reckoning. In 2002, the actor received one of the key roles in the film Simon.

“Star Trek. Retribution “became one of the most important stages in the career of an actor. Tom Hardy played the role of Reman Praetor Shinzon, a clone of the captain of the Enterprise ship. The film’s budget was almost $60 million.

In parallel with work in the cinema, the actor manages to play in the theater. In 2003, Tom Hardy received the London Evening Standard Theater Award for his performances in Blood and In Arabia We Were Kings. A year later, the actor was nominated for the Laurence Olivier Award.

In 2005, Tom received one of the main roles in the mini-series The Virgin Queen. His hero was a real historical character – Robert Dudley. The series was originally scheduled for release in 2005, but due to the fact that the Chanel 4 channel released a film about the life of Elizabeth I a little earlier, the premiere was postponed to 2006.

In the same year, another costumed biopic, Marie Antoinette, starring Kirsten Dunst, was released. In it, Tom Hardy received a supporting role.

Acting breakthrough

Breakthroughs in the career of an actor were the film “Stewart: A Past Life” in 2007. Tom Hardy played the main character – Stuart Shorter. Tom’s character was a criminal and drug addict who fought for the rights of the homeless. Hardy’s partner on the set was Benedict Cumberbatch. The film is based on Alexander Masters’ book about the real-life of his friend Stuart.

Initially, no one was going to give the film a wide release, so many did not see it. But Tom Hardy himself says that after filming, he realized that now he would act in films only for pleasure, and not for money.

In 2008, the crime drama Bronson was released, where Tom Hardy once again embodied a real person – British criminal Michael Peterson, better known as Charles Bronson.

In order to reincarnate as his hero, Tom gained 40 pounds, and in order to understand him, he met him personally. Charles was impressed by how diligent Hardy was about his work, so he shaved off his famous mustache and sent it to the actor as a sign of respect.

The next film with the participation of Tom Hardy is “Rock and Roll” by Guy Ricci. In it, Tom appeared in the form of a gay bandit. Actor Gerard Butler became a colleague in the film.

This was followed by shooting in the films Wuthering Heights, Inception, Spy Get Out! and “Warrior”. For the last film, the actor had to work on his body – he worked out for 6 hours a day.

2012 was a very successful year for Tom Hardy. The film “The Drunkest District in the World” was released. On the set, the actor worked with Shia LaBeouf, and although they were brothers according to the script, in real life there were a lot of conflicts between them.

But, despite the differences, Tom and Shia managed to brilliantly cope with their roles. The film was nominated for the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

At the same time, Tom Hardy starred in the third part of the Batman saga, The Dark Knight Rises. Hardy did a great job as the villainous terrorist Bane, hiding his face behind a mask.

Director Christopher Nolan knew Hardy from Inception and decided he should play the part of Bane. Tom didn’t even read the script, he agreed because the director promised unlimited access to training equipment.

Another successful project in Tom Hardy’s career was the post-apocalyptic action movie, Mad Max. Initially, the project was supposed to launch back in 2003, and the main role was to be played by Mel Gibson, who was Max in the first three parts of the film. But Gibson was too busy and Tom Hardy was cast in the role.

In the film, Tom Hardy reappeared with a frightening mask on his face. On the set, he managed to work with actress Charlize Theron and young actor Nicholas Hoult.

In the same year, Hardy starred in another film – “Legend”. Tom had the difficult task of playing the twins Reggie and Ronnie Kray. The actor coped with his task and received the “Satellite” award.

Huge success brought Tom the film “The Revenant” 2015. Hardy is lucky to see pictures based on real events. The Revenant is based on the true story of Hugh Glass, played by Leonardo DiCaprio.

In 2017, the premiere of the series “Taboo” took place, in which Tom Hardy was not only an actor, he was also a screenwriter and producer. The series also starred Tom’s father, Edward Hardy. Simultaneously with the show, the military drama Dunkirk was released.

2018 brought Tom Hardy two more box office projects. The first of these was the superhero thriller “Venom”. It tells the background of the main enemy of Spider-Man – Venom. Tom Hardy did an excellent job.

In March of the same year, the shooting of the crime drama Fonzo began. Tom Hardy will be none other than Al Capone – a famous mobster. The exact date of the premiere is still unknown.

Personal life

At the beginning of his career, newspapers were full of headlines about Tom Hardy’s new relationship. The actor for a long time could not decide which girls he likes and whether he likes them at all. But in 1999, he nevertheless met his beloved – actress Sarah Ward became her.

Tom proposed to Sarah just 3 weeks after they met. No one expected that the marriage would last as long as 5 years. At that time, Tom still had problems with drugs and alcohol. Although Tom went to rehab, Sarah filed for divorce.

Tom did not grieve for a long time and immediately began an affair with actress Linda Park. But the relationship was short-lived. On the set of the film “The Virgin Queen,” Hardy had a new passion – screenwriter Rachel Speed. In 2008, the son of Rachel and Tom, Louis, was born. But the birth of a son did not save the relationship, and the couple broke up.

In 2009, on the set of Wuthering Heights, Tom was charmed by his co-star Charlotte Riley. The actress was against relationships at work but still could not resist Tom’s advances.

In 2014, the wedding ceremony of Hardy and Riley took place. And soon after her, the couple had a baby. The name and gender of the child, the spouses do not advertise. In July 2018, Charlotte appeared on the red carpet with a rounded tummy, which means that Tom Hardy will become a father for the third time.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FAIRY TALE THERAPY https://mattsbabes.co.uk/what-you-need-to-know-about-fairy-tale-therapy/ Sat, 16 Mar 2024 12:11:07 +0000 https://mattsbabes.co.uk/?p=1211

A fairy tale is one of the genres of folklore and literature and has been known to mankind since the beginning of time. This usually magical text with a happy ending has always been read and passed from mouth to mouth, and only recently it has become clear that a fairy tale can act as an element of psychotherapy.

How useful is fairy tale therapy?

It turns out that immersion in a fairy tale can solve a number of issues in children and adults.

First, fairy tale therapy performs an educational function. With the help of a fairy tale, the child learns patterns and norms of behavior, morality. The educational goal with the help of reading fairy tales was pursued in ancient times, and then the legends were truly passed on from mouth to mouth.

Secondly, immersion in a fairy tale, listening to and supplementing the narration, a person develops attention, creativity, and imagination. These mechanisms work not only in children but also in adults. Therefore, it is not uncommon for a psychotherapist to use reading fairy tales during his sessions.

And thirdly, we can talk about fairy tale therapy as full-fledged psychotherapy if a person is completely immersed in the created fairy tale, there are fictional characters, the action of the fairy tale moves according to a given scenario. With full immersion in the game, fairy tale therapy has a healing effect.

Psychologist’s comment

“An interactive fairy tale is an example of drama therapy in action, where the fairy tale is staged and played by the participants themselves. They immerse themselves in the game, and not just watch it, live through various emotions, play different roles, overcome fear, break taboos, thereby gaining a new experience of interacting with themselves and the world. At the unconscious level, internal and social conflicts are resolved, freedom of expression appears, ”says child psychotherapist Alena Voloshenyuk.

Fairy tale therapy is useful for both children and their parents. And it has a particularly beneficial effect on children who have experienced traumatic situations.

You can see the effect of fairy tale therapy in the Winter Country (Kyiv, Academician Glushkov Ave., 1) in the Gulyandia pavilion. Every 40 minutes, the interactive fairy tale “Wonderful Journey” begins here.

WHY DOES THE HUSBAND AVOID SEX? https://mattsbabes.co.uk/why-does-the-husband-avoid-sex-psychologist-explains/ Sat, 16 Mar 2024 12:04:28 +0000 https://mattsbabes.co.uk/?p=1365

Why does the husband avoid sex? If the rejection makes you suspicious, you should look into the reasons. Together with our expert psychologist, you will be able to study the main causes of male refusal in bed and find out how you can influence the situation.

The psychologist, the creator of the educational online project “Growth Phase” Yaroslav Samoilov, acts as a guest expert in relationships. In this article, he will try to give an exhaustive answer to a rather popular female question: why does a husband avoid sex.


You put on new lacy underwear, and he says: “Sorry, but not today”? Let’s look at the statistics:

62% – this is how many men refuse sex more often than their wives.

Don’t you think it’s just you? Thanks for this data to a sociological survey of British pharmacies. Most often, men answered that fatigue, stress at work, and a headache were to blame. But it’s in the poll. And in real life, it is more difficult to determine the real reason.

Behind the rejection of intimacy, there may be omissions in the relationship, your jambs … or are you no longer attracted to him as a woman? So, the 7 most common reasons for not having sex.

He has a serious job (once even served his leg)

Jokes aside, not every man admits that he lost the tender or missed the deadlines for an important project. Difficulties at work are one of the most common reasons for not having sex.

Look: business for him is a kind of man’s battle. And when she completely exhausts him, he does not want to fight even in bed. Yes, there is a type of man who, on the contrary, let off steam with the help of intimacy. But most need to relax and exhale. Understand, when it seems to you that he is mindlessly playing the PlayStation, he reboots his “on-board computer”. Just leave him alone and order him a pizza.

Mom, what to buy home? – Buy yourself an apartment and live separately!

Young parents do not have to choose: sex is given 5 minutes, if after the evening feeding and bathing the baby you are not passed out halfway to bed. Some couples sleep with a child, but I generally keep quiet about this.

If you live like a big gypsy family, then most likely only memories remained from romance. Everything happens quickly, without lyrical introductions – what if someone comes in? Or, oh god, hear you moan. In this way, day after day, you dull feelings and kill relationships.

Therefore, I insist: living with parents is contraindicated! A worthy man is obliged to provide the family with comfortable conditions. Crossed the line of 25? “Go and find a place to live!”

Better embarrassed than bored

Often the cause of male refusal is elementary boredom. Pall. Even if everything was cool in bed before, the monotony is annoying. It’s like eating cake every day. Then he will be sick of it. I certainly can’t rate you for appetizing and resourcefulness. But remember: sex is not a marital duty between watching a TV show and sleeping.

There is a big difference between “need” and “want”. If he avoids sex, works late in the evenings, and has “important things to do” on the weekends, most likely, the chosen one is tired of your relationship. Analyze the situation. Sometimes it’s not too late to diversify your sex life and stimulate desire. Try to do something in bed that you have never done before.

He wanted to, but… overslept


Yes, it happens. Biorhythms, diet, and sleep patterns affect desire. Sometimes the husband and wife do not match according to the “owl-lark” principle. For example, you want him in the evenings, and he passes out at 21:00. He is excited in the morning, and at this time you see the tenth dream.

Men are also prone to stress, and often they “fall asleep” on them. In order to gain energy for the next day and go fight the world, he needs to get a good sleep. Just give him maximum relaxation, for example, give him a massage.

Fell ill

Do not rush to run for Viagra. Just a man, too, can be unwell. He won’t tell you, of course. There will be no whining. Silently turn away on the other side – and all. At this time, you will draw pictures of betrayal, think out bright details … But in fact, everything is simple – his stomach hurts, for example.

Of course, this does not mean that you should fall asleep with relief. Pay attention to your man. Does he have problems with alcohol or antidepressants, depression, overweight? These factors also affect libido. Do not meddle with the advice “Let’s go to the doctor.” Do it technically. As an option, leave a magazine with an article about his problem on the table or an open tab on the laptop.

Woman, I can’t see you!

Come on, be honest: are you in your best shape? You look sexy, have you been buying lingerie for a long time? I often observe a situation where married women do not take care of themselves. And then they wonder why the husband looks at others, refuses to have sex, and generally gets a mistress. Because spiritual closeness is, of course, good. But wanting a woman who does not take care of herself, a woman with low self-esteem is difficult, you must admit.

After all, the heart (as well as other parts of the body) cannot be commanded. Take care of yourself – your husband should be proud of you. It’s not just about looks. You lose attractiveness when you walk around sullen, constantly reproaching and sawing the brain.

Another extreme is to play the role of mommy. Protect, blow off dust particles, control. Sometimes women were alone before the wedding, and after they turned into “guardians” for their husbands.

A normal man doesn’t need a mother. Your sex will gradually come to naught. Why be surprised if you call for the fifth time to ask if he has eaten. And never once – to say that I forgot to put on underwear.

There is sex, but not with you

Yes, we slowly approached the most unpleasant scenario. The husband has a mistress. Therefore, he has neither the desire nor the strength to be close to you. Change is a separate topic for conversation. But I want to say one thing: it does not arise from scratch.

Most likely, your man does not receive something in the family, since he has got a mistress. It’s not just about intimacy. These are fresh sensations, self-confidence, a distraction from everyday life or from scandals.

You can play everything

Learn to understand your man. If not everything is lost yet, you can still restore harmonious relationships in the family.

Understand that there are no universal answers to the question of why a husband avoids sex. In any case, you will need female wisdom. Work on yourself.

You may want to change partners later. And the next marriage will be more passionate and strong. The main thing is that the mistakes of past relationships do not pass into the next. To do this, pump yourself as a woman. And I’m sure you will hear more and more often: “I want you right here and right now!”

Personnel Search Online: 7 Tips To Find Excellent Employees https://mattsbabes.co.uk/personnel-search-online-7-tips-to-find-excellent-employees/ Sat, 16 Mar 2024 11:39:17 +0000 https://mattsbabes.co.uk/?p=1384

Like so many other aspects of our social and economic life, recruiting is shifting more and more into the digital world in times of digital change. In this article, you will find out what needs to be considered when looking for personnel online.

Personnel search online vs. shortage of skilled workers

A shortage of skilled workers has been a problem in Germany for years. In many sectors, there are not enough qualified employees for the positions to be filled. Companies are finding it increasingly difficult to find suitable employees and there are numerous competitors for specialists. The perfect candidate is usually rare and highly sought after. The corona pandemic has further exacerbated this problem. Although some industries had to lay off workers, tech and IT experts are more in demand than ever due to the digitization push.

The search for personnel has also shifted further and further from the analog to the online area. While job vacancies used to be published in newspapers, recruitment is now mainly done online. We present seven tips that will make your online search for employees a success.

#1 Online personnel search via your own company website

The easiest and cheapest way to recruit employees online is to post job ads on your company’s website. Ideally on a dedicated careers page that addresses applicants directly and provides extensive information on the respective job profile. You are welcome to get creative here and describe the job offer with photos or even videos, for example. The more personal a company appears, the more attractive the workplace appears. Another advantage of the online personnel search on your own website is that applicants can get a direct impression of the company and its values.

#2 Personnel search online via job portals

Job portals on the Internet are probably one of the most frequently used options when looking for personnel. Anyone who types in a job title in a search engine will see portals such as Stepstone, Indeed, or Monster first. Thousands of users access such platforms every day in search of exciting job offers. But the search also works the other way around: employees post job ads there and present themselves and their skills in order to be found by clients. Companies can either publish their own job advertisements on job portals or look directly for potential applicants.

#3 Headhunter – Personnel search for top positions and key positions

It is difficult to find highly qualified employees, especially in the IT and tech sectors. The only thing that often helps here is to hire an  IT headhunter, who specializes in recruiting in this industry. The resource of highly qualified employees is increasingly becoming a competitive factor in upper management and in top positions. In this case, a headhunter with subject-specific expertise and a large network is required. A qualified and specialized personnel consultant knows how to arouse the interest of candidates through direct contact and active sourcing on an equal footing. In addition, he conducts targeted preliminary interviews with candidates on the basis of his high level of technical and methodological competence. Specialists are expensive and the induction process is lengthy – a recruiter reduces the risk of wrong appointments. TechMinds, for example, quickly and efficiently recruits managers and professionals in the IT and tech sectors.

#4 Recruitment online via social media

More and more companies are using social networks such as Facebook or Twitter to spread their job offers on the Internet. Although Facebook is still more suitable for private users, there are now many groups and business pages that enable a precise target group to be addressed and promote dialogue with customers and employees. Career platforms such as Xing and LinkedIn offer their own recruiting tools and a job exchange where companies can place their job advertisements. There the employee can apply directly with his documents. This simplifies the recruiting process considerably for both sides and addresses the respective target group directly.

#5 Recruitment via blogs and podcasts

Media such as blogs and podcasts also contribute to the success of online recruitment. Especially in interviews with influential industry magazines, companies can present themselves in an authentic and employee-friendly way and, depending on the reach of the medium, can reach a large target group. In podcast interviews, a company seems even more approachable. A personal, informal conversation in a relaxed atmosphere between two interviewees reveals a lot about company values, goals, and corporate culture to potential applicants. Of course, this also works with an in-house blog or podcast. If companies present job advertisements, activities, or colleagues there in a personal way, they give the applicant an even more detailed profile of the job and the employer.

#6 employer review portals for recruiting online

If an applicant is interested in the advertised position in your company, they often take a look at evaluation portals to find out something about the working atmosphere in the company. Platforms like Kununu promote the transparency of companies and employers. It is advisable for listed companies to take a regular look at their own profile in order to be able to react quickly to positive or negative employee reviews. If the company’s rating is very positive, the company profile should at best be linked and quoted as a reference on your own website.

#7 Personnel search online: “Google for jobs”

In May 2019, Google launched its new service “Google for Jobs” in Germany. It lists job postings from around the web, whether they’re from small business sites or giant job boards. When companies post job vacancies, they should make sure that Google can index the ad. Individual pages must be in HTML format for this. Several job advertisements that are listed on a single page can be read poorly or not at all by Google. The same applies to job advertisements such as PDFs or images.

A local job posting is easier to find on Google. Since most jobs are tied to a city or region anyway, this feature can help you. It is important to mention the location on a detail page as often as possible, for example in the page title, in the meta description, and in the text of the job offer. Especially in smaller regions and towns, it makes sense to refer to the next larger city in order to address as many potential applicants as possible.

Conclusion

The success of your company stands and falls with good employees. Not only are the application processes and induction phases lengthy, but the pre-selection also costs time and money. On the internet, companies can now advertise for specialists on countless job exchanges, portals, and career sites. The competition from competitors is fierce, and the chances of success in some sectors are not always promising. Especially in the IT and tech sector, it is often worth hiring an  IT recruitment agency in order to save time when looking for personnel and to avoid expensive wrong appointments. In this way, companies can concentrate on the essentials, while recruiting experts such as TechMinds to fill vacancies with top executives in a timely manner.

How Could The Big Bang Come out of Nowhere https://mattsbabes.co.uk/how-could-the-big-bang-come-out-of-nowhere/ Sat, 16 Mar 2024 09:14:44 +0000 https://mattsbabes.co.uk/?p=1723

Some hold that the big bang was a rebirth rather than a birth

“The last star will gradually cool down and eventually fade away. With her death, the universe will once again be an empty place devoid of light, life, or meaning.”

So was the warning from physicist Brian Cox in a recent episode of the BBC’s Universe series. The death of the last star will be only the beginning of infinitely long and dark age. All matter will end up being devoured by monstrous black holes, which will later evaporate until they are reduced to faint flashes of light. Space would infinitely expand outward until even those faint flashes of light would be too spread out to interact in any way. There will be no activity of any kind.

Or maybe yes? Although it seems quite strange, some cosmologists believe that there was a dark and empty universe, very similar to the one that will be in the distant future, that could have been at the origin of our own big bang.

The raw material

But before we get to that, let’s see how that “stuff” (that is, that physical matter) first arose. If we’re trying to explain the origin of stable matter made up of atoms or molecules, there really wasn’t any of that during the big bang (or for hundreds of thousands of years that followed). The truth is that we have a fairly detailed understanding of how the first atoms formed from simpler particles once conditions got cool enough for complex matter to be stable, and also how these atoms later fused together. with heavier elements within stars. But that knowledge does not answer the question of how something could come out of nothing.

So let’s go back a little further. The first long-lived particles of matter of any kind were protons and neutrons, which when joined form the nucleus of the atom. These came into existence about one ten-thousandth of a second after the big bang. Before that, there was really no material at all in any of the usual senses of the term. But physics allows us to go even further back in time, to the physical processes that preceded the existence of stable matter.

This leads us to the so-called “great unified epoch”, which in turn leads us to enter fully into the realm of speculative physics since in our experiments we cannot generate enough energy to reproduce the type of processes that at that time they were taking place. But a plausible hypothesis is that at that time the physical world was made up of a hodgepodge of elementary particles of limited existence, among which were quarks, that is, the fundamental units that makeup protons and neutrons. There was both matter and antimatter, and in roughly equivalent amounts. Each type of matter particle, such as a quark, had an antimatter counterpart, a “mirror image” that was virtually identical to it, differing only in one respect. Nevertheless,

But how did these particles come into existence? Quantum field theory tells us that even a vacuum that could supposedly correspond to zero space-time values ​​is full of physical activity and that this activity manifests itself in the form of energy fluctuations. These fluctuations can cause particles to appear, which however disappear soon after. All of this might sound more like mathematical wackiness than actual physics, but such particles have been detected in countless experiments.

The state of space-time vacuum is altered by particles that are constantly created and destroyed, and that seemingly “arise from nowhere”. But perhaps what all this really tells us is that the quantum vacuum, despite its name, is something rather than nothing. The philosopher David Albert is the author of a famous critique of approaches to the big bang that, based on this theory, promises to explain how something could have come out of nothing.

Imagine that we wonder where space-time came from. In that case, we could go back even further, to the really archaic “Planck Epoch”, a period so early in the history of the universe that it defies our best physical theories. This epoch spanned just one ten-millionth of a trillionth of second after the big bang. At this point, both time and space became the subject of quantum fluctuations themselves. Physicists usually work outside quantum mechanics, which governs the microworld of particles, and also general relativity, which applies to large cosmic scales. But to really understand the Planck Epoch we would need a unified theory of quantum gravity that fuses the two together.

We still don’t have a perfect quantum gravity theory, but there are proposals such as string theory or loop quantum gravity. In these proposals, ordinary time and space are generally conceived as emergent elements, like waves on the surface of a deep ocean. And it is that what we experience as space and time is the product of quantum processes that operate at deeper, microscopic levels; processes that do not make much sense to us, who are creatures settled in the macroscopic world.

In the Planck Epoch, our ordinary knowledge about space and time is blown up, so that we can no longer apply the ordinary logic of cause-effect relationships. Despite this, all possible theories of the field of quantum gravity hold that there was some kind of physical substance during the Planck Epoch; some sort of quantum precursor to ordinary space and time. But where did that come from?

Even if we take into account that in Planck’s epoch causality did not work in any of the usual ways, it would still have been possible to explain one component of the universe in terms of its correspondence to another. Unfortunately, today even our best physicists utterly fail to provide us with answers in this regard; Until we make further progress towards a “theory of everything” we will be unable to offer a definitive answer. The most we can say with certainty at this point is that physics has so far detected no confirmed examples of something coming out of nothing.

Cycles that come almost out of nowhere

In order to really answer the question of how something can come out of nothing, we would need to be able to explain the quantum state of the universe as a whole during the beginning of the Planck Epoch. All attempts to accomplish this task remain highly speculative, and there is even some that appeal to the existence of supernatural forces as an architect of the universe. But there are other theories that remain within the field of physics, such as the multiverse (according to which it contains an infinite number of parallel universes) or the cyclical models of the universe (which would be born and would be born again and again ).

Roger Penrose, the winner of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics, has proposed a suggestive, but also controversial, model of the cyclic universe called “conformal cyclic cosmology”. Penrose was inspired by an interesting mathematical connection between a very hot, dense, and small state of the universe (which is how it was at the big bang) and an extremely cold, empty, and expanded state of the universe (which is how it will be in the far future). . His radical theory to explain this correspondence is based on the fact that these states became mathematically identical when they reached their respective limits. As paradoxical as this may seem, a complete absence of matter could have caused the rise of all the matter that we see around us today in the universe.

From this point of view, the big bang would have come almost out of nowhere; it is what would have remained after all the matter in the universe had been engulfed by black holes that would later have evaporated, generating photons that would wander through the vacuum. In this way, the entire universe would have emerged from something that, seen from another physical perspective, would be the closest we could get to absolute nothingness. But that nothing would still be something; we would still be talking about a physical universe, even if it were empty.

But how is it possible that the same state of the universe is cold and empty from one perspective and hot and dense from another? The answer lies in a complex mathematical procedure called “conformal rescaling,” a geometric transformation that alters the size of an object, but not its shape.

Penrose showed how the cold and dense state on the one hand and the warm and dense state on the other could be related through these rescalings in such a way that they could correspond through the shapes of their respective space-times, although not in the same way. their sizes. The truth is that it is difficult to understand how two objects can be identified according to this theory when their sizes are different, but Penrose argues that size as a concept ceases to make sense in such extreme physical environments.

In conformal cyclic cosmology, the direction of explanations is from old and cold to young and hot: the dense and warm state exists because so does the cold and empty. But this “because” does not have the usual meaning (that of a cause followed in time by its effect). It’s not just that size is no longer relevant in these extreme states; is that time also ceases to be. In fact, the cold and dense states and the warm and dense states are located on different timelines. The cold, empty state would continue indefinitely in its own time geometry from an observer’s perspective but would empower the hot, dense state to occupy a new timeline.

In trying to understand that the dense and warm state is the product of the cold and empty, it may be helpful to approach the question from some kind of non-causal perspective. Perhaps we could say that the warm, dense state arises from, or is rooted in, or discovered by, the empty, cold state. These are typically metaphysical ideas that have been developed in depth by philosophers of science, especially in the field of quantum gravity, where the classical logic of cause-effect is broken. And it is that, when we reach the limits of knowledge, it is difficult to separate physics from philosophy.

Experimental evidence?

Conformal cyclic cosmology offers detailed, if speculative, answers to the question of where our big bang came from. But even if Penrose’s theories were validated by future developments in cosmology, one might think that we are still unable to answer a deeper philosophical question; the question of where physical reality itself comes from. That is the question of how the whole system of cycles works.

In this way, we end up facing the stark question of why there is something instead of nothing (which, by the way, is one of the great metaphysical questions).

But here we want to focus on explanations that are limited to the realm of physics. There are three big options on the fundamental question of how the cycles began. There might not be any kind of physical explanation. Or it could be infinitely repeated cycles, each of which would make up a universe by itself, in which the initial quantum state of each universe would be the consequence of some characteristic of the previous universe. Or there could be a single cycle with a single universe repeating itself so that the beginning of the cycle somehow explained its own end. The last two options do not require a specific causality, which gives them a special appeal. And it is that, in this way, nothing would be left out of a purely physical explanation.

Penrose conceived of an infinite sequence of new cycles driven by a series of reasons partly linked to the interpretation of quantum theory that he believed to be the most accurate. In quantum mechanics, a physical system exists in a superposition of several different states at once and only “chooses” one at random when we measure it. For Penrose, each cycle implies random quantum events that occur in a different way, which means that each cycle will be different from both the previous one and the next one. This is actually good news for experimental physicists, as it would allow us to glimpse the old universe that gave rise to ours through fuzzy traces, or anomalies, in the leftover radiation generated by the big bang that the Planck satellite can observe.

Penrose and his collaborators believe that they might have already detected these traces in the information provided by the Planck satellite on the radiation emitted by supermassive black holes in an earlier universe. However, the validity of these observations has been questioned by other physicists, so we remain without absolute certainty.

The indefinite succession of new cycles is fundamental to Penrose’s theory. But in conformal cyclic cosmology, one can move naturally from a multi-cycle model to a single-cycle model. In the latter case, physical reality would consist of a single cycle that would span from the big bang to a state of maximum vacuum in the far future… And then that same big bang would occur again, giving rise to an identical universe over and over again.

This last possibility is compatible with another interpretation of quantum mechanics, the so-called “multiple universes interpretation”. This holds that whenever we measure a system that is in a superposition, this measurement does not randomly select a state. Instead, the result of the measurement we observe is just one possibility (the one that takes place in our own universe). The other results of the measurements take place in other universes of the multiverse, which are in effect completely independent of ours. Hence, it does not matter how small the chance of something happening is, because if it is not zero, it will have happened in some other of the quantum parallel worlds. There are people just like you who have won the lottery,

Some people believe that these parallel universes could also be observable in terms of cosmological data, like imprints caused by another universe colliding with ours.

The quantum theory of multiple universes may bring a new approach to conformal cyclic cosmology, though not one that Penrose agrees with. Our big bang could have been the second birth of a single quantum multiverse containing an infinite number of different universes existing simultaneously. Everything possible ends up happening (and then it would happen again, and again, and again).

An ancient myth

For a philosopher of science, Penrose’s proposal is fascinating. He opens up new possibilities for explaining the big bang because he takes our reasoning beyond the usual cause-effect logic. We speak, therefore, of a great starting point to explore the different ways in which physics can explain our world and that deserves, therefore, more attention from philosophers.

For a lover of myths, moreover, Penrose’s proposal is beautiful. In his preferred quantum possibility, that of continuous cycles lies the promise of an infinite series of new worlds to be born from the ashes of his predecessors. And in the possibility of the single cycle, it is an impressive reworking of the old conception of the ouroboros or serpent world. In Norse mythology, the serpent Jörmungandr is the daughter of Loki, a cunning swindler, and the giant Angrboda. Jörmungandr devours her own tail, and the circle she creates in doing so holds the balance of the world. But the myth of the ouroboros has been represented by cultures around the world, including some as archaic as that of ancient Egypt.

The ouroboros that would be a unique cyclical universe is majestic in itself. In its gut, it would contain both our own universe and the rest of the disturbing and wonderful alternative possible universes that quantum physics contemplates. And the point where the head meets the tail would be an absolute vacuum but at the same time a space teeming with energies at temperatures of hundreds of billions of billions of billions of billions of degrees Celsius. Even Loki the shapeshifter would be impressed.

PSYCHOLOGIST’S OPINION: HOW TO AVOID CHEATING IN MARRIAGE https://mattsbabes.co.uk/psychologists-opinion-how-to-avoid-cheating-in-marriage/ Sat, 16 Mar 2024 09:14:44 +0000 https://mattsbabes.co.uk/?p=1143

Marriage is such a relationship between partners that requires tireless work on yourself and on these very relationships. Cheating, on the other hand, signals to us that this work is not sufficient on both sides, that relations have ceased to develop, there is no longer any excitement and trembling between spouses. Stagnation and routine are addictive, and that bright feeling that led to marriage is buried in them.

But the one who values ​​​​the relationship with a partner can try to save them from betrayal. Although no psychologist will give you a 100% guarantee in this matter, it’s worth a try.

To understand the reasons that encourage spouses to have an affair on the side, you need to start from the fact that men and women are very different in nature, and therefore the factors pushing on the path of infidelity are different. If a man most often changes physically, then emotions are important for a woman.

Factors that encourage men to change:

1. Sex. And not only because men are polygamous. For many, sex on the side becomes a breath of fresh air in a series of everyday problems. Work – home – life – children – wife. And this monotony, in his opinion, can be interrupted by an affair without obligations. And also, if the wife always has a “headache”, the man will sooner or later decide to change.

2. Unsuccessful family life. Constant quarrels, wife’s tantrums, unsolvable problems make him turn his gaze to the “left”. A new romance with a novelty of sensations, lost control over the situation feeds his male ego and makes it possible to feel like the master of the situation again.

3. Don Juan at its core. Such men are sure that romance on the side is a component of marriage. And if before marriage he adhered to such a credo, then you should not expect that after marriage he will change.

Factors that encourage women to change:

1. Emotions that are missing in the marriage. The same routine of family life does not encourage a husband to show attention, care, and tenderness to his wife. She is looking for all this in a relationship on the side.

2. Middle age. By cheating after the age of 35, a woman tries to convince herself that she, as in her youth, is beautiful, attractive, and desirable.

3. Crisis in relations with a spouse. If a woman suspects her husband of treason or is sure of it, then often she has a desire to take revenge.

Having understood the reasons that push a partner to cheat, you can build your own line of behavior and tactics to prevent these undesirable phenomena. This tactic is based on the firm conviction that there is no betrayal in families where harmony and love, complete mutual understanding and trust reign.

Important Findings

1. Don’t make sex a marital duty. If the passion has cooled down, rekindle it yourself. Feel free to talk frankly with your spouse, find out what turns you both on. If everything is going well in your bed, there is unlikely to be a need to change.

2. Do not suspect or invent reasons for jealousy.

3. Respect your partner and support him (her) in hobbies, interests, work, and worries.

4. Pay attention to your appearance, the atmosphere in the relationship. Make plans for the future together and dream.

5. Find time to spend together outside the walls. At least once a year go on a joint vacation away from civilization, to nature

6. Be responsive and attentive to each other. Don’t let pride and unnecessary principles ruin your relationship.

But what if there is no evidence of a spouse’s betrayal, but you feel it?

– do not refuse sex;

– do not disturb the rhythm and routine of life;

– do not start a conversation about treason;

– loosen control over the life of your spouse, give him maximum freedom;

– play on contrasts: increase your employment and become autonomous in relation to your spouse;

– contact a family psychologist.

Remember that infidelity does not happen, you need to diversify your joint daily and sexual life.

Crohn’s disease: The moving testimony of this woman on her daily life  https://mattsbabes.co.uk/crohns-disease-the-moving-testimony-of-this-woman-on-her-daily-life/ Sat, 16 Mar 2024 08:17:08 +0000 https://mattsbabes.co.uk/?p=3116 This young woman publishes a photo of her body on social networks… To send a committed message. And try to raise awareness about the disease she endures on a daily basis.

A 19-year-old girl has decided to lift the veil on an illness that affects her health and her daily life. This is Crohn’s disease. This is how Aimee Rouski took the initiative to share her story on social networks, taken up by the Daily Mail.

A photo that says a lot about this taboo…

19-year-old Aimee Rouski decided to share her unseen pain, posting a photo of her crotch on Facebook. And this, for a good cause. Sometimes an image is more telling than a written testimony: by exposing her scars to the eyes of her subscribers and beyond, the young woman decided to tell what she suffered because of this Crohn’s disease and how she suffered it. accepted.

Through her testimony on Facebook, Aimee describes what this chronic infection entails on a daily basis, and in particular on a medical level: “A person with this disease will undergo many treatments and will eventually undergo surgery. And that’s what I want to talk about. I had a bowel resection.”

The one who underwent three surgeries continues her thought as follows: “I have always been comfortable with what happened to me, but some people really have a hard time accepting these things. If you don’t tell others, no one will ever notice your illness and if you tell the people you love, they won’t abandon you, but they will always be there to support you. You don’t have to be ashamed of your illness”.

Additionally, a bag was applied to collect faeces. “I decided to write this post because I noticed that people didn’t know anything about this disease and other invisible diseases (…) People often think that I only had to deal with just a stomach ache, when in fact this disease could kill me.”

Crohn’s disease, a disease that is sometimes invisible

Crohn’s disease, which the young woman suffers from, is a chronic and incurable disease. However, there are possibilities for improvement through surgery, as in the case of Aimee, operated on three times.
