Emotional Intelligence Has 12 Elements. Which Do You Need to Work On?
- Harvard Business Review (No paywall)

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=54653&nl=daily
there are many models of emotional intelligence, they are often lumped
together as “EQ” in the popular vernacular. An alternative term is
“EI,” which comprises four domains: self-awareness,
self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. Within
those domains are 12 EI competencies, starting with emotional
self-awareness in the self-awareness domain. Emotional self-control,
adaptability, achievement orientation, and a positive outlook fall
under self-management. Empathy and organizational awareness make up
social awareness. Relationship management includes influence, coaching
and mentoring, conflict management, teamwork, and inspirational
leadership. Leaders need to develop a balance of strengths across
these competencies. Assessment tools, like a 360-degree assessment
that uses ratings from yourself and those who know you well, can help
you determine where your EI needs improvement. To best improve your
weak spots, find an expert to coach you.

Why Generative A.I. Poses Risks for Early Adopters - Inc.com (No
paywall) [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=54653&nl=daily]
If you're looking to implement generative A.I. into your business,
experts have one big piece of advice: Be careful, because the
technology is getting increasingly out of hand. A new song from Drake
and the Weeknd titled "Heart on My Sleeve" recently went viral and
seemed poised to be the song of the summer, until it was abruptly
removed from all monetized platforms last week. Turns out, the track
wasn't made by Drake or the Weeknd, it was made by an A.I., and the
original artists weren't getting paid.

The world needs codes quantum computers can't break - The Economist

QUANTUM COMPUTERS, which exploit strange properties of the subatomic
realm to crunch numbers in powerful new ways, do not actually work
yet. But if and when they do start working, they will be able to break
the cryptographic algorithms that currently protect online
communications, financial transactions, medical records and corporate
secrets.

AI scientists are producing new theories of how the brain learns - The
Economist (No paywall) [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=54653&nl=daily]
Five DECADES of research into artificial neural networks have earned
Geoffrey Hinton the moniker of the Godfather of artificial
intelligence (AI). Work by his group at the University of Toronto laid
the foundations for today’s headline-grabbing AI models, including
ChatGPT and LaMDA. These can write coherent (if uninspiring) prose,
diagnose illnesses from medical scans and navigate self-driving cars.
But for Dr Hinton, creating better models was never the end goal. His
hope was that by developing artificial neural networks that could
learn to solve complex problems, light might be shed on how the
brain’s neural networks do the same.

Exposure to the sun's UV radiation may be good for you - The Economist
(No paywall) [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=54653&nl=daily]
BASKING IN THE sun has been considered a health hazard for at least
four decades. The main risk comes from ultraviolet (UV) light, which
the Sun emits alongside visible radiation. This can increase the
chances of skin cancer—the number of diagnoses of which are
rising—as well as bringing on premature ageing and leading to
wrinkles. As a result, most developed countries recommend sunbathers
protect their skin in the heat of the day with sun cream, especially
in the summer months.

'It could disappear for ever': Anger over sale of George Orwell

George Orwell's archives provide an invaluable insight into one of the

how he produced his most memorable books, his sensitivity to
criticism, and his fears that legal threats could ruin his work. Now
the treasure trove that is the extensive archive of correspondence and

Against all odds, an asteroid mining company appears to be making
headway
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=54653&nl=daily]
That is not meant to be offensive; rather, it is a reflection of the
fact that the business they entered into—mining asteroids for
platinum and other precious metals—is a perilous one. To date, NASA
and other space agencies have spent billions of dollars returning a
few grams of rocky material from asteroids. Humanity has never visited
a metal-rich asteroid, although that will finally change with NASA's
$1.4 billion Psyche mission in 2029. And so commercial asteroid mining
seems like a stretch, and indeed, other similarly minded startups have
come and gone.

How Tiny Tags Got Meryl Streep to Wear Its Necklace
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=54653&nl=daily]
Melissa Clayton, a former accountant, received so many compliments on
the homemade necklaces she wore featuring her sons' names, she started
to think she'd be able to find customers. She launched her custom
nameplate-necklace company, Tiny Tags, in 2011. Three years later,
she began scaling the self-funded business. She started by
differentiating its product: Her necklaces would be made in the United
States, available in fine metals, and laser engraved--a precise but
time- and labor-intensive process. The price point reflects
that--today, a 14-karat gold script nameplate necklace is $575. To
differentiate her product from the emerging crowd of inexpensive brass
name-necklaces on sites such as Etsy, Clayton leaned on her ability to
speak directly to moms, to build a community online, and her
company's white-glove customer service.

There were little to no condemnations of Mr. Trump’s immigration

undocumented immigrants who would stand to benefit from the move, many
