Was it just an earnest gaff? Or welches it an anachronistic exercise in product placement?HBO has since come out and confirmed it was the former in fact, both Starbucks and the mega TV networktook to the internet to deliver their own cheeseball lines. Starbuckstweeted TBH were surprised she didnt order a Dragon Drink, while HBO remarkedThe latte that appeared in the episode was a mistake. Daenerys had ordered an herbal tea.HBOEven though HBO has already digitally wiped the latte fromWesteros forever, some still might not be satisfied with theiradmission. A common defense of the product placement angle is bolsteredby d isbelief that a network as big as HBO, producing a show as wide-reaching as Game of Thrones, could ever let something as glaring as a coffee cup slip through the cracks.Thing is, this breed of mistake actually happens on this scale quite often.

The modern sabbatical looks different. But its still worth it

The modern sabbatical looks different. But its still worth itThe modern sabbatical looks different. But its still worth itFor the purposes of this article, I wanted to be clear (for myself and for you) on what a proper sabbatical looks like.What is a Sabbatical?The dictionary defines sabbatical asa period of paid leave granted to a university teacher or other worker for study or travel. Traditionally one year for every seven years worked.Once widely practiced in higher education, sabbaticals were seen as a time forcollege professorsto research, reflect, and culminate their lifes work. In recent years, more and more colleges havecited budget concernsas their reason for scaling back on offering this extended time of paid leave.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreThe concept of a sabbatical has been adopted by other industries, but executed in different ways. Most workplaces do leid of fer a year-long paid option. And today, most colleges and universities dont either.Todays sabbatical looks less like a proper sabbatical and more like a career break. While the former is more established, the latter is more fluid. Career breaks can be anywhere from a few weeks to a few years. More significantly, they are mostly unpaid.Is This All There Is?At some point, most of us will look up and ask the universe is this all there is?The first time I asked this question I welches 22 a far cry from the typical 40,at which research suggestsmost people will experience this question like a sudden storm raging through their lives.I had just transitioned from anintern on Capitol Hillto a full-time employee. For the first time in my life, I worked a full 40-hour week, and it left me absolutely exhausted.That was 10 years ago.Dont tell any of my overachieving,Insta-obsessedfriends, but I need a break.Since youre reading this, you might need one too. But as themillennial generationis set sq uarely ongrind-mode, it can be hard tobring this subject up at parties. We are perpetually working on a new project, accepting a new position, or traveling to a new destination.The goal of this article is bedrngnislage to take away from behauptung achievements. Achievements are good, and our goals are worthy. In fact, I hope to add more of them to the running list I keep on myiPhone. But as we get older, the energy we use to reach these goals can and will be depleted.Can a sabbatical prevent that from happening? I asked a number of professionals to share their experience. Here are their storiesPam Kocke, Happiness Engineer atWordPress.comI work at Automattic, the company behindWordPress.com. One of the perks of my job is that after five years, we get a three month paid sabbatical. Automattic is a 100% remote company, so everyone works from home. My sabbatical meant Id still be at home, but I just wouldnt log in to my computer to work. In fact, I barely touched my computer in three m onths, and I avoided my desk.Because its fully paid, it was a no brainer. I didnt have to worry about saving up for it, and we didnt take a hit financially. It also didnt affect my career negatively. I work on a small team and my teammates had taken their sabbaticals already, so I knew how they would handle my absence. When I came back to work afterwards, they gave me time to catch up and ease back into everything. I didnt have to worry about catching up on three months of unread emails they all went straight to the trash (important emails were routed to my colleagues).My goals for my sabbatical were to organize my house, volunteer in a NICU, and sew. A lot of people use their sabbatical to learn something new or to travel, but I really just wanted to have as much down time as possible. In the end, I did rock tiny babies in the hospital, and I did sew, but my house is still a disaster.I worried my three months would fly by. But I think because I didnt try to do too much, it felt li ke a wonderfully long break. I was ready to come back to work when it was over, excited to sit at my computer again and see my coworkers. Its been about two months since my sabbatical ended, and I am still feeling the positive effects of the time off.Kimberly Presnail,Active InternationalIn 2016, I took a sabbatical at the age of 34. After over 10 years of unexplained infertility, I made the decision to start IVF treatments. There is a significant financial and emotional investment in the process, and it was my last attempt at conceiving a child. Since my fertility was unexplained, everything was essentially a guessing game.So many people tell you when youre infertile to relax. But it can be extremely difficult when you have a demandingexecutive job, on top of the endless fertility appointments and procedures. I was so petrified to go through the intense process of IVF, and have it fail without any explanation as to why. Id then forever question whether or not stress on the job play ed a role. I couldnt control the stress of infertility, but I could control my job.At the time, our company did not have a sabbatical policy. I had been very open about my infertility story with my boss, who is the President of the company. When I ran the idea of a sabbatical by him to ensure I had left no stone unturned, he was very understanding and graciously granted me unpaid leave for 2 months. In my situation, the sabbatical was pre-planned and I had time to prepare financially (approximately $8,000). Otherwise, it would have been a lot more pressure. Pressure I couldnt afford as I was trying to reduce stress, not add to it. Plus, no doctor will write a note saying I need to be off work for IVF, sounemploymentinsurance was not an option.I would be lying if I said returning back to work form a sabbatical didnt feel awkward. There is a stigma attached to taking extended time off work. A fear of being perceived as lazy or unproductive. In the end the IVF I took the sabbatical fo r did not work.Five months after returning to work, I did a second round. That did work and I now have my daughter Quinn. I do not regret my decision to take a sabbatical nor my choice to be so open about my story. But I do think changing the stigma needs to start at the top. Our company now has an official sabbatical leave policy in place. And Im so happy to have played a role in that.Lauren Barbiero, Associate Director of Earned Media,W20 Groupbelastung year, I went on sabbatical at the age of 27. I work for healthcare-focused marketing communications firm and have been here since graduating college in 2013. One of the many benefits of W2O is that after five years of full-time employment, they allow you to take a five week paid sabbatical. However, the sabbatical must be taken in full succession (no splitting up weeks) and no checking email for the full five weeks. How easy is that? Sign me upI remember the shock on my parents faces when I told them my company was going to pay me to take five weeks off and travel the world.I traveled to Iceland, Switzerland, and France. Overall a sabbatical was the best thing I could have asked for. Apublic relations jobcan be grueling (as any client service job is). With late nights, early mornings, long hours, andlots of emails. Getting to take five weeks off to experience places Ive never been before andlet my mind unwindand helped me feel eager to come back to work.So, Should You Go On Sabbatical?A sabbatical is not for everyone. Some people simply cannotafford it. And for those of us who are strivers, a break maybring more stressthan relief. However, like I mentioned at the beginning of this article, energy depletion is real. If you want to work on a world-class level, protecting your energy is one of the best ways to get back to producing high-level work.What Are Some Alternatives to a Sabbatical?These days, a sabbatical can seem like a luxury to those of us chained to a desk or dutifully caring for a family. You may n ot be able to take off for a month, let alone an entire year. But most of us can take one day.The word sabbatical originates from the biblical termsabbath. Taking one day per week to fully rest can be just as effective, and certainly less disruptive, than a traditional sabbatical.How to Make the Most of Your SabbaticalBelieve it or not therearedown sides to taking a sabbatical.

Capturing and Reusing Wasted Energy with Nanopeapods

Capturing and Reusing Wasted Energy with Nanopeapods Capturing and Reusing Wasted Energy with Nanopeapods Capturing and Reusing Wasted Energy with NanopeapodsWasted energy. Its a common lament for many people, especially engineers who focus on thermoelectric solutions. One solution is to transform excess energy to useful power, something a group of researchers is making strides in with a unique nanotube system.Kenneth Goodson is chair of the mechanical engineering department at Stanford University, whose team has a specialty in heat transfer and partly focuses on electronics cooling and energy harvesting, Theyve made recent advancements in developing carbon nanotubes, or nanopeapods, that someday could direct heat away from electrical components, such as computer chips, create thermoelectricity, and be reused for other applications.A key element of Goodsons latest round of research, in collaboration with researchers at the University of Tokyo and Nagoya University and outlined in a p aper published last year in Nature Materials, welches to create a way to collect and measure thermal data from the nanopeapods, which hasnt been done since they were discovered nearly 15 years ago.The community has been waiting a long time to learn about the impact on thermal transport because the measurements are so hard, Goodson says of the nanotubes, which are made from sheets of carbon atoms and rolled up into cylinders that are 500 times thinner than a human hair.For You Achieving Record Efficiency Highs on SolarNanotubes are made from sheets of carbon atoms and rolled up into cylinders.The nanotubes, Goodson explains, happen to carry heat very well. So well, in fact, that heat moves through them so quickly and efficiently that the conversion of thermoelectricity is completely bypassed. Thats a major problem when youre trying to collect energy. As a solution, Goodsons team, led by postdoc Takashi Kodama, stuffed the tubes with buckminsterfullerene or bucky balls, a form of carb on (C60) with a cage-like structure that resembles a soccer ball. Those provide resistance to the system, slowing the heat flow and increasing the thermoelectric effect, Goodson says.To capture the thermal details of the structures, the researchers had to find individual nanopeapods that were aligned in a mesh platform, allowing them to measure the heat moving through the structures.After the location with the appropriate sample is identified, Dr. Kodama was able to initialize that particular cell and proceed with the measurement, Goodson says.It was this insight and innovation on the experimental side of things that enabled the breakthrough measurement.The team now had a carbon nanotube structure that could lead to promising thermoelectric applications in the future.This is an exciting result that stimulated some interesting simulations, Goodson says.

Three career lessons from Breaking Bad

Three career lessons from Breaking badeanstalt Three career lessons from Breaking BadPosted September 27, 2013, by Vivien Luu Notoriously addictive and guaranteed to give you severe withdrawal. Such is the effect of Heisenbergs signature Blue and Vince Gilligans powerhouse TV series Breaking Bad. For five diabolical seasons weve watched Walter White build his drug empire from the ground up and transform from Mr Chips to Scarface. From his tighty whitey-Winnebago cooking days when he still needed to rehearse lying to Skyler, Walt sure has come a long way. And hes fallen even further. But even as he descended deeper and deeper into the evil genius that is Heisenberg, I still found myself rooting for Walt. Why? Because at the end of the day, arent we all just trying to achieve what Walt set out to do? To provide for ur families, leave a legacy, and become our own bosses? Breaking Bad is a poetically shrewd metaphor for our modern-day working life. It may seem an unorthodox source of car eer advice, but beyond the gut-wrenching drama and stunning cinematography, the show has a lot to say about work and life and the melding of the two. As Breaking Bad so disastrously portrays, life doesnt always go to plan. You didnt plan the lung cancer, and you didnt plan to get knifed by your wife or ratted out by your business partner. Not every day can be an A1 day. So what do you do? Be flexible, be opportunistic and roll with the unpredictable. This Heisenberg method applies to your career too. Whether youve been made redundant, need to fold your business or realise you hate your dream job, a Heisenberg-like adaptability will put you in good stead because opportunities will come knocking. Its important to be open to them, and take advantage where you can. Nobody more eloquently underlines this point than Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan. After finishing up with The X-Files and a two-year stint of unemployment, Gilligan was desperate for work. A fellow writer joked that th ey should hop into an RV and cook meth out in the desert. And the rest is history. From meek chemistry teacher to meth-cooking mastermind. From Walter White to Heisenberg. From Mr Chips to Scarface. Walts transformation couldnt more clearly showcase the fact that what we do for a living shapes who we are. How we spend those 40 to 60 hours a week what were doing, where, with whom and why seeps into our psyches and forms our sense of self. Whats more, it also determines how others will judge us. What do you do for a living? is, after all, one of the first questions asked when we meet new people. Your career is emblematic of who you are. The lesson here? Choose a career path that suits your personality. One that aligns with your moral code and worldview, and that will nurture your sense of self rather than destroy it. We neednt look any further than Jesses guilt-ridden night-time wanderings for an example of a man who did not abide by this career rule of thumb. I cant stress this o ne enough. When it comes to working with others you really need to DO. YOUR. HOMEWORK. Whether youre employing new staff or are being head-hunted by another company, its crucial to know who youre getting involved with. Make sure you get to know the person or company, what their work is like, and what their values are. Because at the end of the day, how well you work with them can make or break your career. If the chemistry is right, your work will thrive. Think Jesse and Walt the early years. Get it wrong and you could end up with a dead brother-in-law, only one of the eight barrelfuls of your fortune and revenge burning in your heart. Breaking Bad characters who failed to learn this career lesson and died for it include Gale Boetticher, that guy who was box-cuttered by Fring Gus Fring himself Mike Ehrmantraut (in Mikes defence, he knew Walt was a ticking time bomb and did try to get out) and the drug gang massacred on Lydias watch (albeit with her eyes and ears covered). Wow, tha ts a long list. Ignore this career tip at your own peril, people. End credits While this is a tongue-in-cheek take on one of the most morally ambiguous shows of our time, I think theres one thing we can all be crystal-meth clear on at the end of the day, none of us wants to look back on our lifes work only to think, It cant all have been for nothing.Bachelor of ScienceStudy modeOn CampusPayment optionsHECS-HELPUpfront paymentCourse guide+ FREE eBrochureEnquire verbunden Enquire OnlineScience ResourcesMolecular biologist sample resumeMolecular biologist sample cover letterCareer Insider StoriesProfessor Ian Frazer - ScientistProfessor Ian Frazer - ScientistTahnee Claeys - Head of Operations at Mad PawsInterested in becoming a?Market ResearcherSafety InspectorLife ScientistEnvironmental ScientistHealth Promotion PractitionerPopular Career Searchesdiploma of business career pathcareer opportunities for master of commercegovernment funded mining courses brisbanehow to become a laborator y assistant in australiahow to become a research scientist in australiaScience CoursesGraduate Diploma of Data ScienceEnquire Online Enquire OnlineBachelor of Health SciencesEnquire Online Enquire OnlineBachelor of Science (Occupational Therapy)Enquire Online Enquire OnlineMaster of Occupational Hygiene and ToxicologyEnquire Online Enquire Online Vivien LuuViv is a writer who enjoys researching and writing about creativity, how the menschengerecht mind works, and neuro processes.
