Solar energy house on Marienhof

Munich

A solar energy house is currently on display on Munich's Marienhof.

This bungalow is covered with solar panels and actually generates more power than would be required by someone living there.

In fact, if you lived there you could theoretically sell the energy it generates and earn around €2,700 per year.

The house was designed and built by students at the Technical University of Darmstadt. In 2007 it won the Solar Decathalon competition in the US.

The house is now on tour around Germany. It'll remain in Munich until April 15, 2009.

Decision time

Loss aversion is now recognised as an important mental bias, with widespread implications. Our desire to avoid anything that smacks of a loss often shapes our behaviour, leading us to do foolish things.

Whenever we make a decision, the brain is awash in feeling, driven by its inexplicable passions. Even when we try to be reasonable and restrained, these emotional impulses secretly influence our judgement.

- Because the mind is like a Swiss Army knife - it's stuffed full of different mental tools, each of which is well-suited to a specific situation - it's essential that we learn how to adjust our thought process to the task at hand.
- Why is thinking about thinking so important? First, it helps us avoid stupid errors. You can't avoid loss aversion unless you know that the mind treats losses differently than gains.

Strength training: Information from Answers.com

Strength training is the use of resistance to muscular contraction to build the strength, anaerobic endurance and size of skeletal muscles.

www.answers.com/...strength-training - Preview

training for endurance, for flexibility, or for speed are all very different; and training for strength has little in common with any of them. One must ‘overload’ (in the physical educator's sense of ‘load beyond the ordinary’, not the engineer's sense of ‘break’) the ability of muscles to produce extreme force,
Strength trainers characterize loads in terms of the individual's ‘repetition maximum’ (RM). A 1 RM load can be managed just once in a session
25 more annotations...
- Working against loads less than 60% of 1 RM is not considered capable of increasing strength at all.
- increase in muscle size and absolute strength
- toughening of connective tissue in the tendons and ligaments
- increase in bone density and strength
- Strength training more than three times a week can be damaging and does not allow sufficient time for the muscles to respond to increased demands
- it must be specific, progressive, and provide sufficient overload to stimulate muscle growth.
- • PREPARATION PHASE. General conditioning, including body-weight exercises and light resistance (see circuit training)
  • FOUNDATION PHASE. Continuation of whole-body conditioning, but with an increase in the resistances
  • STRENGTH TRANSFER PHASE. Introduction of specific exercises. These will depend on individual aims, but may include absolute strength-gain exercises for those who wish to be weight-lifters, and bounding exercises (see plyometrics) for potential sprinters, jumpers, and throwers
  • SPECIFIC STRENGTH PHASE. Exercises that increase the strength of muscle groups used in a specific activity. A variety of exercises may be performed (e.g. bounding exercises, medicine ball drills, and conventional weight training), but muscles should be worked in the same way as in the activity for which you are training. The duration of each phase and the choice of exercises will depend on the individual and the activity for which he or she is training. Ideally, during a strength-training session each of the major muscle groups should be used, and, to avoid fatigue, successive exercises should not use the same muscle group.
- Sets of one to five repetitions primarily develop strength, with less impact on muscle size and none on endurance.
  Sets of six to twelve repetitions develop a balance of strength, muscle size and endurance.
  Sets of thirteen to twenty repetitions develop endurance, with some increases to muscle size and limited impact on strength.^[5]
  Sets of more than twenty repetitions are considered to be focused on aerobic exercise. They do still use the anaerobic system
- Commonly, each exercise is continued to the point of momentary muscular failure. Contrary to widespread belief, this is not the point at which the individual thinks they cannot complete any more repetitions, but rather the first repetition that fails due to inadequate muscular strength.
- Adrenaline and other hormones may promote additional intensity by stimulating the body to lift additional weight (as well as the neuro-muscular stimulations that happen when in “fight-or-flight” mode, as the body activates more muscle fibres), so getting "psyched up" before a workout can increase the maximum weight lifted.
- Intensity refers to the amount of work required to achieve the activity, and is proportional to the mass of the weights being lifted. Volume refers to the number of muscles worked, exercises, sets and reps during a single session. Frequency refers to how many training sessions are performed per week.
- Three important variables of strength training are intensity, volume and frequency.
- Periodization is the modulating of volume and intensity over time, to both stimulate gains and allow recovery. Commonly, volume is decreased during a training cycle while intensity is increased.
- The benefits of weight training include greater muscular strength, improved muscle tone and appearance, increased endurance, enhanced bone density, and improved cardiovascular fitness.
- Stronger muscles improve posture, provide better support for joints, and reduce the risk of injury from everyday activities
- Strength training is the key to maintaining good flexibility. It takes your body parts through a full range of motion
- One side-effect of any intense exercise is increased levels of dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine, which can help to improve mood and counter feelings of depression
- popular sources advising weight trainers to consume a high protein diet with from 1.4 to 3.3 g of protein per kg of body weight per day
- Protein that is neither needed for cell growth and repair nor consumed for energy is converted by the liver into fat,
- An adequate supply of carbohydrates (5-7g per kg) is also needed
- A light, balanced meal prior to the workout (usually one to two hours beforehand) ensures that adequate energy and amino acids are available for the intense bout of exercise. Water is consumed throughout the course of the workout to prevent poor performance due to dehydration.
- Glucose (or another simple sugar) is often consumed as well since this quickly replenishes any glycogen lost during the exercise period. To maximise muscle protein anabolism, recovery drink should contain glucose (dextrose), protein (usually whey) hydrosylate containing mainly dipeptides and tripeptides, and leucine.
- What muscle builders refer to as a toned physique is one that combines reasonable muscular size with moderate levels of body fat
- Untrained individuals may have some muscles that are comparatively stronger than others. An injury can result if, in a particular exercise, the primary muscle is stronger than its stabilising muscles
- In "isotonic" exercises the force applied to the muscle does not change, and in "isometric" exercises the length of the muscle does not change.

在工作以外，生活中你清高也好，孤傲也罢，喜欢独处是你个人的事情，别人无权干涉但在工作中，不得不与人打交道，所以必须学会改变自己，尝试主动与同事们多交流、沟通，最大限度地求同存异，尽可能地融入集体中
其实做到与同事打成一片并不难，只要你待人真诚、友善，就会发现原来每个人都十分渴望被别人接受和了解，渴望他人的友爱和帮助

- 勇于尝试新的处事方法
  
  俗话说：一个篱笆三个桩，一个好汉三个帮。人际关系，在工作和生活中都起着十分重要的作用。你现在对人际关系的畏惧心理可能是多年积累的结果，虽然很难在短时间内改变，但你还是要鼓足勇气，以积极的态度去面对同事。平时多观察他们之间是怎样交流和沟通的，然后你至少可以学着他们的样子谈论一些既轻松又能让大家感兴趣的话题。乐于助人也是与人交往中很容易做到且能够获得他人好感的办法。在自己力所能及的范围内，为身边的同事解决一些小困难，你会在不知不觉中就与大家融在一起。
- 性格是天生的，不是想改就能完全改变。要想让内向的人变成活泼、开朗、人见人爱的交际明星，恐怕太强人所难。我认为，只要你对待工作认真负责，工作中该与同事们合作的就合作，该与上下级沟通的就沟通，好好完成自己的工作任务，不必去想搞什么人际关系，大家的关系也是自然而轻松的。如果越过工作只想着搞好人际关系，反而让人觉得不自然。工作之外，你是爱独处还是喜欢广交朋友，那是你个人的事。成熟的职业人士，不论内向还是外向，只要以工作为重，就能超越性格的羁绊，在工作环境中发挥才干。

职业人要永远保持最初入行的积极心态，凡事努力，不留余地。成功就是这样开始的。

- 人的心态比能力更重要，它注定了一个人一生的成长。能够完全按照自己的意愿生活是很难达到的境界，人往往因为达不到自己想要得到的标准而不快乐，但其实，所有不快乐的东西，就像看到车窗外不好看的风景，驾着车，转个弯就过去了。所以，可以不加班的时候尽量不要加班，在固定的工作时间内，用饱满的精神和专一的态度来完成一切工作，尽力做到成为众人的表率；可以享受生活的时候尽情享受生活，不要去想太多工作上的烦恼事。一旦能够做到公私分明，你就会发现，无论是工作还是生活的效率，都将得到明显的提升！
- 要想获得合理的时间规划，必须要养成这样的习惯：把每天的时间、工作计划预先制定好，把需要完成的工作额、任务额记下来，然后一步一步去完成，这是一种自我要求，希望自己能够达到的状态和目标，只要持之以恒，每天的工作就会变的井井有条。
- 电话比邮件直接，但邮件又比电话来得深入，哪种方式更适合哪种客户，哪位客户的业务更迫在眉梢、更需要率先应对，必然得花费一些心思来分辨，通常都需要依赖足够敏锐的判断力来主导，继而作出决定
