How to develop clearer thinking

Clarity of thought makes life easier. A Vedanta teacher has some handy advice on how to banish fuzziness We live in the midst of an information explosion. Facts and figures get thrown about; opinion makers never seem to agree on anything, and if that wasn't enough, there is the university of Whatsapp. In this sea of information, what is right and what is wrong? Difficult to tell. Often, even knowing the facts of the case, doesn't help us. All the facts in the world are only as good as the processing power with which we meet them. With the same facts, one can start a successful business and another can miss the opportunity. The story goes that a company sent two salesmen to Africa to sell shoes. One salesman wrote back his report saying, it is impossible to sell shoes here because no one wears any. The other wrote, there is a huge market for shoes here. No one has any. The crucial thing is to develop clarity of thinking. With clarity one becomes productive at...

Argentina desperately need to beat Peru at home on October 5 and go to Ecuador for their final match five days later. They lie fifth in the 10-team South American group, just below Peru on goal difference. “Now it's gotten complicated,“ coach Jorge Sampaoli said after they drew their last match at home to Venezuela.“It's tight.“ The top four teams qualify automatically for next year's tournament in Russia and the fifth-placed side play New Zealand in a two-legged playoff for an additional spot.

Rohingya Muslims: Tales of horror from Myanmar

Tens of thousands of people have fled violence in Myanmar's Rakhine state. Many speak of killings, rape and even massacres. Off the south-eastern coast of Bangladesh, a row of crescent-shaped, wooden fishing boats approach the shore, listing dangerously in the strong winds. As they get closer, you can see they are packed. Women on the floor, many holding on to children, men pressed against the sides of the boats. This is the latest boatload of Rohingya Muslims, fleeing from Myanmar's Rakhine state. Refugees like Dil Bahar are traumatised and exhausted - and have horrific stores Local Bangladeshis gathered on the beach wave frantically. "This way, this way," they say as they guide the boats into shallower waters. As the first one hits the shoreline near Shamlapur, several men jump off.

What everyone gets wrong about 'millennial snowfla

Ac What everyone gets wrong about 'millennial snowflakes' Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on WhatsApp Share on LinkedIn Share on Google+ Share by Email By Amanda Ruggeri 3 October 2017 Maybe many of the assumptions we make about Gen Y aren’t unique to this generation. Maybe they’re specific to young people in general, writes Amanda Ruggeri. I know the ultimate millennial. She owns a bicycle in lieu of a car , goes to yoga class at least twice a week, grows her own bean sprouts and works side-gigs instead of for a full-time employer – she left a budding career as an economist to pursue her dream of being a comedian. The problem is, she's not a millennial. She’s a baby boomer in her late 50s. Millennials are the generation that’s fun to hate It’s true that each generation is shaped by demographics, histori...

Going beyond traditional recipe

City chefs share their favourite recipes for pesto, a dish that can be prepared beforehand and used as a dip, sandwich spread or sauce When most think of pesto, they think of its most common version: the paste that's prepared by grinding fresh, Italian basil, parmesan cheese and pine nuts. But for inventive chefs, the sauce allows them to test their creativity. Blitz a few ingredients in a food processor with olive oil, and as the flavours meld and settle, what you have is a thoroughly adaptable condiment, ready to lend its flavour to a bowl of soup, or a plate of pasta. You can slather it atop fillets of fish for baking, or stuff some pesto inside a meatball for an interesting twist. And that's not all, pesto can be whipped up with a host of ingredients -walnuts, sun-dried tomatoes, arugula or moringa leaves. The fun lies in figuring out which combination works best for your taste buds, as the possibilities are endless. For a sharper, bolder pesto, use arugula and ...

ecure neediness that, if anything, put her off intimacy. The young general embarked on his Italian campaign just a few days into the couple’s marriage, writing to her almost constantly from the battlefield. For her part, Joséphine seems to have struck up affairs back in France in her husband’s absence and her silence drove him to send increasingly pleading missives. 5. HE WASN’T ACTUALLY SHORT. The rumor about Napoleon’s height—or lack thereof—started during his lifetime. English propagandists depicted the general as comically diminutive in critical cartoons during the Napoleonic Wars. The belief became so deeply established that in the 20th century, a psychological complex specific to short men was named after him. But how tall was he really? Probably around five-foot-six—which was actually just about average for the era. That height comes from what was written at the time of his death. A physician’s note that accompanied Napoleon’s coffin says that he was five-foot-two “f...

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Reddit Share on WhatsApp Share on Google+ Share by Email By Claudia Hammond 4 October 2017 Many years ago, soon after I’d started working in radio, I arrived at the newsroom to be given my assignment for the day. I was asked to visit a clinic treating bad breath where I was to get my own breath tested and interview the doctor. On the way there I did wonder whether this was all a ruse and whether there was something my colleagues were too afraid to tell me. Luckily I was fine, but bad breath is common and we’re not helped by some of the myths surrounding it.
