Its a completely fair assumption that its doing something to their brains. But new research says that the effects of all that texting, Instagramming, and Snapchatting on teenagers well-being are miniscule.Implementing best practice statistical and methodological techniques we found little evidence for substantial negative associations between digital-screen engagement and adolescent wellbeing, said Amy Orben, a Researcher at the Oxford Internet Institute and a lecturer at the Queens College, University of Oxford, in a release.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moraIn other words, the kids are all right.Teenage mental health can withstand screen timeA study from re searchers at Oxford University, published in the journal Psychological Science, analyzed data from 17,000 young people from the UK, Ireland, and the U.S.It was discovered that it didnt matter how many hours per day the teenagers used screens the impact on their mental health was still minimal. It was also found that using screens two hours, one hour, or 30 minutes before bedtime didnt have a clear link with a decrease in wellbeing although it is generally taken as fact that this is unhealthy for teenagers. (It should be noted, however, that using screens emitting blue light before bedtime does disrupt your sleep).One feature unique to the study was that the rigor of the methods used to accurately track just how much time the teenagers spent online researchers included both self-reported measures and time-use diaries. Previous similar studies, Orben has said, have been built on less reliable data about screen-time use.Analyzing three different datasets, which include improved measu rements of screen time, we found little clear-cut evidence that screen time decreases adolescent wellbeing, even if the use of digital technology occurs directly before bedtime, said Professor Andrew Przybylski, Director of Research at the Oxford Internet Institute and co-author on the study.Well, it looks like teenagers get a free pass on this one.You might also enjoyNew neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from nesthkchen Franklins daily schedule that will double your productivityThe worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs10 habits of mentally strong people

William Kelly

William Kelly William Kelly William KellyLove and happy marriage have often led people to accomplish unexpected things. William Kelly (1811 1888), a 19th-century American inventor, is one of them. His invention of the pneumatic process of steelmaking revolutionized the industry. It is a process in which air is blown through molten pig iron to oxidize and remove unwanted impurities. Also patented by Sir Henry Bessemer of Great Britain, this process produced the first inexpensive steel, which became the major construction material in the burgeoning industrial age. Kelly, who welches born in 1811 in Pittsburgh, PA, entered the dry goods business after studying metallurgy at the Western University in Pennsylvania. By the age of 35, he welches senior lebensabschnittsgefhrte in the firm of McShane Kelly. His job often required him to travel across the country. While on a business trip to Nashville, TN, he met and fell in love with Mildred Gracy. She welches from Eddyville, KY. As the rel ationship blossomed, Kelly decided to purchase 14,000 acres of timberland nearby, which contained ore deposits. It was a fortuitous purchase because after their marriage, he set himself up as an iron manufacturer. In the early 1840s, Kelly and his brother set up the Eddyville Iron Works, which later prospered to become one of the most profitable businesses in the country. The Kelly converter was designed to convert iron to steel. What bothered Kelly, however, was the gradual depletion of the timberland and the dwindling of carbon-free iron deposits, which drove him to search for a more efficient means of refining pig iron. At this time, iron was sold in three forms, each distinguished by the amount of carbon present in the iron. Cast iron was highest in carbon content. Some cast iron was converted in forges to wrought iron, which contained no carbon. Intermediate was steel, which was the strongest form. Steel was made by slowly heating iron to high temperatures this was an expensive process and therefore little used. Beginning in 1847, Kelly made a series of experiments in an attempt to save on fuel costs in his furnace. He discovered that a blast of air would increase the temperature of the molten cast iron, since the carbon impurity acted as a fuel. Kelly hoped to save fuel by this process, and between 1851 and 1856, he built a series of experimental furnaces in the woods behind his plant. The work was done in secret because he was afraid that customers would not trust the metal made by the new process. Aware that air drafts cause molten iron to glow white hot, he became convinced that air blown through molten iron not only would remove the carbon but also would cause the temperature of the molten mass to rise, making further heating unnecessary. Those around Kelly thought his scheme insane, and his father-in-law even had him examined by a doctor. But the physicians knowledge of basic science enabled him to see the value of his patients scheme, and he became one of Kellys strongest supporters. About 1850, after several failures, Kelly succeeded in producing iron and steel with his process, although the quality of the steel was still largely a matter of chance. He did not patent the process immediately but continued working on it. In 1856 he learned that Henry Bessemer, working in England, had patented a similar process and that a patent was being applied for in the U.S. Even though Bessemer was trying to make steel (rather than to save fuel) and had proved his method a success (which Kelly had not), Kelly objected to Bessemers patent application and revealed his own experiments. In 1857, he was granted a patent for his process. Further innovations in steelmaking, notably by Robert Mushet of England and Goran Goransson of Sweden, made the pneumatic process practical. Before he went bankrupt during the panic of 1857, Kelly sold his patent to his father. In 1859, he renewed his experiments at the Cambria Iron Works in Johnstown, PA, and b y 1862 managed to find enough financial aid to enable him to build a steel plant in Wyandotte, MI. Within two years, he produced the first commercial steel, using the Kelly process. In 1863, the Kelly Pneumatic Process Company was organized, and the following year a rival company using Bessemers patents was organized in Troy, NY. Unable to achieve more than minimal success with their respective patents and processes, the two companies pooled their resources in 1866, and thereafter steel production expanded rapidly. Although he received some money from the Kelly Company, it was only after his patent was extended in 1871 that Kelly received significant remuneration for his invention. Though Kelly conducted one further experiment, his process was never successfully applied. In 1861, he merged with the firm that represented the Bessemer interests. The Kelly interests received three-tenths of the stock of the new firm, and the Bessemer people took seven-tenths. Kelly was not directly inv olved in unterstellung later commercial activities but lived in quiet retirement in Louisville, KY, until his death in 1888. Arshad Mahmud is an independent writer.He discovered that a blast of air would increase the temperature of the molten cast iron, since the carbon impurity acted as a fuel.

Tap the Power of Storytelling to Court Candidates

Tap the Power of Storytelling to Court CandidatesTap the Power of Storytelling to Court CandidatesTap the Power of Storytelling to Court Candidates Gallo, author of The Storytellers Secret From TED Speakers To Business Legends, Why Some Ideas Catch On And Others Dont (St. Martins Press)Storytellingis the fundamental building block of communication. In a world where people are bombarded by choices, story is often the deciding factor in whom we decide to do business with.It turns out that storytelling is equally influential in recruiting and whether the candidate decides to work for you or another company.Smart organizations are leveraging the power of storytelling in their employer branding. Storytelling is also a great tool to turn employees into brand advocates.Here are some great examples of how companies are using storytelling to court their constituents.The Power of Employee StoriesOn any given day, Marriott International has up to 10,000 job openings. As the hotel chain sifts through 2 million applications a year, it must find candidates who will maintain its reputation for customer service and who are genuinely passionate about hospitality.After studying the behavior of job candidates across 15 countries, Marriotts menschlich resources leaders came up with the Picture Yourself Here program which leveraged existing employees stories to attract job candidates.Marriott HR vice president Kristy Godbold told me that two key findings came out of their research first, job candidates glazed over wordy job descriptions on the Marriott website. Instead they were attracted to pictures and videos.Second, job candidates, especially Millennials, were more likely to find Marriott an attractive place to work when those videos showed real employees sharing authentic stories of their experience at the hotel chain.Our employees are the people who deliver on the brand promise for our customer. Its critical that we get this right, says Godbold.Marriott is just one of many g lobal brands that are leveraging the power of story to attract the best candidates. Today, job candidates are increasingly attracted to companies with a purpose. Stories are one of the best ways to share a companys purpose.Story and Employer BrandingHow can leaders instill a sense of purpose among their employees? Quite simply, storytelling.In a paper titled An Integrative Review of Storytelling, Australian professor Robert Gill makes the case that leaders who tell corporate stories strengthen employee engagement, which improves a companys external reputation.Employees who internalize the companys vision through stories are motivated to become reputation champions. According to Gill, Stories enable staff to identify with the narrator on a personal level, and through their interpretation take a form of ownership over how the brand is represented.Communicating a Sense of PurposeThe fastest growing of the Big Four accounting firms KPMG discovered that storytelling is a powerful recru iting and retention strategy.KPMG conducted an internal study of thousands of managers and employees and found that a workforce motivated by a strong sense of higher purpose is essential to engagement. Storytelling was the secret to delivering that purpose.After creating a storytelling culture at KPMG, employee turnoverplummeted, morale skyrocketed, profits soared and a higher caliber of job candidates came knocking on the door.KPMGs stories revolve around the role that the accounting firm has had in shaping historic events, beginning with an agreement to provide $60 billion in life-saving resources to the allies in World War II.In addition to shaping history, KPMGs videos focus on stories from some of the 8,000 employees who are the first in their families to go to graduate from college. Survey results found that, for them, the firm is more than a great place to work, its the gateway to the American Dream.Creating Culture Every DaySouthwest Airlines is yet another company that has turned storytelling into a competitive advantage, a legacy that began with co-founder Herb Kelleher.Kelleher built one of the fruchtwein profitable brands in the airline industry by creating a unique culture based on an audacious commitment that put employees first, customers second and shareholders third.Unlike most leaders who give lip service to the importance of company culture, Kelleher talked about it incessantly, sharing stories about employees who went the extra mile.As a storyteller, Kelleher understood that culture is not something that a committee brainstorms once and moves on. In fact, culture is a story that must be shared every day.Kelleher is no longer in charge of Southwest, but the storytelling culture lives on, through internal videos that highlight employees and passengers sharing stories about the company and how its made their lives better.Herb Kelleher said the core of the companys success is the most difficult thing for a competitor to imitate. They can buy al l the physical things. The things you cant buy are dedication, devotion, loyalty the feeling that you are participating in a crusade, Kelleher said.Do your employees feel as though they are participating in a crusade? Do job candidates want to join your cause? In business as in life, great storytellers build great cultures and great culture attracts and motivates great people.Remember storytelling is not something we do. Storytelling is who we are.Author Bio Carmine Gallois a Wall Street Journal bestselling author of such books as Talk Like TED and The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs.

First Jobs and Life Lessons (Pt. 2)

First Jobs and Life Lessons (Pt. 2) Part one of this article looked at the first four lessons from the Forbes article, 8 Lessons We Learned From Our First Jobs. The story shared many lessons from Next Avenue readers, a PBS website catering to Americas 50+ population. The first four lessons included1. A bad first job can focus your career goals.2. Start working early.3. Low pay is better than no pay.4. No job is too menial.As I read the Forbes article, I realized that I also learned similar lessons to those of older generations. Yet, some of my views differed, which led me to wander if this is because I am from the millennial generation (and we have different ways of thinking) or because our workforce has evolved so much that some of these first-job lessons simply dont apply today.Below are the final four lessons and my take on their relevancy to todays workforce5. Dress appropriately.While the art icle stressed that several Next Avenue readers said it was important to follow the dress code at work, I believe this lesson has changed with the times. Nowadays, workplaces dont have a strict dress code. Ive met many people who still go into an office and their work attire is jeans and a t-shirt. Appropriate dress in todays working environment depends on the culture of that organization.6. Work is what you make of it.The article says that first jobs are often the ones no one else wants. In my case of pushing carts in extreme heat and cold, this was true. And I think this lesson not only applies to first jobs, but to every position you have. Its like the saying, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. You can choose to make the most out of your job and have a positive attitude while working. You can also find ways to make it enjoyable (or not). A lot of it is up to you.7. Dont date the babo (or if you do, find another job).The article explains how one woman, who was a typist in a n ad agency, began dating the agencys president. And she believes people wont take you seriously if youre dating the boss.This lesson is timeless and applies to every generation. Work relationships can already be tricky, but once you add romance into the mix, 9 times out of 10 youre bound for disaster. Although I dont know anyone who had to learn this at their first job, the lesson is relevant in any job situation. Just dont do it.8. Do what you love.For this last lesson, the article references a man named Harold Sharlin, 89, of Washington, D.C., who it says has worked longer than most. He shows us that you have time to get it right, and if you dont like what you are doing at first, try something else.While I believe this is a good work lesson in general, like point number one, I dont think it necessarily has to come from a first job. Again, most people dont go into their first job (which is normally in their teenage years) thinking that this is what they love and will be doing the rest of their lives. People normally have the perspective that their first job is a temporary way to make money.Yet, as you continue to work and gain experience (especially after college) I believe then we grasp the concept that one should do what he or she loves because our experiences reinforce this notion.Not everyone learns the same things from their first jobs some people have similar takeaways while others are unique to their roles. Do you remember your first job? What were some of the biggest lessons it taught you?

What we can learn about focus from a professional cliff diver

What we can learn about focus from a professional cliff diverWhat we can learn about focus from a professional cliff diverThe thought of diving off a27-meter platform eight stories above open water would stress most people out but for David Colturi sitting in a cubicle invokes much more fear.I am scared of the potential consequences of a cliff dive gone wrong, he said. Almost as much as having to hold a 9 to 5 arbeitszimmer job.The California-based diver is the former US national 10m champion and was the youngest diver to appear in a full World Series in 2012, the youngest diver to finish on the podium and the youngest diver to win an event. Ladders spoke with Colturi ahead of the first Cliff Diving World Series stop inTexasabout his immense focus when he dives, dealing with nerves and how he approaches his career.On making those 90-foot leapsMost days its easy because I truly love what I do that feeling of flying, flipping, and twisting through the air, its like nothing else in this world. There are some days where I need a little extra motivation though, or the conditions are harsher and scarier than usual. Those are the days I need to dig deep, stay calm and in the moment, and focus on the task at hand.On dealing with setbacksCompartmentalizing and Self Talk are two cognitive tools I like to use when things get rough. Package that setback or baddiveup and put it at the back of your mind to deal with later. Its easy to go down the analysis road and beat yourself up immediately after a baddive however, if you can put it away for later, and build yourself up for the next immediate task, youll have a better chance at getting back on track and succeeding down the road. Positive Self Talk and just being mindful of your thoughts, in general, will keep you in a better mood and mindset for any situation.On finding the focusOne of my favorite quotes my college coach used to always tell me was, If you focus on the things you cant control, it will adversely affect the t hings you can control. Its easy to get caught up in environmental stimuli, other peoples actions or behavior, but if you stay within yourself and stay in the moment youll have a much better chance at success. To get away from all the outside noise I like to find a quiet place or put my headphones in, and meditate or visualize my next tasks.On dealing with nervesHaving a process and staying in the moment is key to dealing with fear and nerves.

Emotional Uber CEO promises to revamp its corporate culture

Emotional Uber CEO promises to revamp its corporate cultureEmotional Uber CEO promises to revamp its corporate cultureA former female engineer at Uber made explosive claims of sexual harassment at the company - and CEO Travis Kalanick responded to the public embarrassment by hiring no less than a former US Attorney General to investigate.Former Uber engineer Susan J. Fowler wrote an explosive blog postover the weekend that startled many Uber users with a description of pervasive sexual harassment.The widely-shared post this weekend included the detail that the company issued leather jackets to men on the team, but left out women because they could not get a comparable group discountFowler also alleged that her former manager described his open relationship with his girlfriend in an attempt to solicit a sexual relationship with her, and added that the companys human resources team declined to take action because the manager was a high performer. Fowler said the companys human resourc es representative told her that it was his first offense - a claim she later discovered was false after speaking with other female employees who said the same manager had also propositioned them.With no action taken against her manager, Fowler was given a choice either leave the team, or stay and possibly get a negative performance review from her manager, who was aware of her complaint.The blog post generated a range of responses from Silicon Valley and the tech community, nearly universally critical of Uber.Kalanick responded immediately on Twitter to Fowlers post, saying, Whats described here is abhorrent against everything we believe in. Anyone who behaves this way or thinks this is OK will be fired.Ive instructed our chief human resources officer Liane Hornsey to conduct an urgent investigation. There can be absolutely no place for this kind of behavior at Uber.Later, Kalanick said in a memo that former US Attorney General Eric Holder will examine the ex-employees claims, and diversity and inclusion at Uber more broadly.Kalanick said Ubers technology teams have consistently included about 15% women.Facebook is at 17%, Google at 19%, and Twitter is at 15%.He said the company would publish a diversity report in coming months.Arianna Huffington, a board member of Uber, told staff on Tuesday that the company was trying to fix its mistakes. Travis spoke very honestly about the mistakes hes made - and about how he wants to take the events of the last 48-hours to build a better Uber. It was great to see employees holding managers accountable. I also view it as my responsibility to hold the leadership teams feet to the fire on this issue. Change doesnt usually happen without a catalyst. I hope that by taking the time to understand whats gone wrong and fixing it we can not only make Uber better but also contribute to improvements for women across the industry.Holder, now a partner at law firm Covington Burling, is making a name for himself as a fixer for disc rimination problems at Silicon Valley companies. He previously crafted an anti-discrimination policy for Airbnb, another billion-dollar startup that took a hit to its reputation after Harvard Business School researchers found that guests with distinctively African-American names had trouble getting approved for places to stay on the platform.The highly circulated post intensified criticism of the company. Uber has had a rough month, trying to rebound from a damaging Delete Uber campaign by customers displeased with the CEOs political involvement.Fowlers claims have become part of a larger ongoing conversation about the treatment of female employees - especially in the Silicon Valley tech community.Ellen Pao, a former employee at venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers, who lost a gender discrimination lawsuit against the company in 2015 and has become a voice supporting anti-discrimination measures in the tech world. Pao responded to the Uber controversy on Twitter by saying, people do talk privately. Too many heartbreaking stories. I hope all CEOs are paying attention it is probably at your startup too.
