Have you ever been out for the evening and witnessed a classy-looking man who was well put together and knew all the right things to say and do? Almost like he knew what to do or was prepared in every way for anything coming his way? Well, let me be the one to tell you, you were witness to the rare and illusive gentleman. Some women think seeing a true gentleman is like seeing a unicorn or having a leprechaun hand you a map to his pot of gold.

Having the male gene does not mean you are a gentleman. In fact, not every guy has it in him to be a gentleman. Part of being a gentleman can be taught while other parts seem like they are ingrained into the man. The list of infographics below is a gentleman cheat sheet. A gentleman is not always the good guy. A gentleman is usually the best suited up, smoothest talking, single malt whiskey drinker in the building.

Take a look at the information in them. I have no doubt may know some of the information. Here is a good reason you might consider learning to be a gentleman: A woman sees a man in a perfectly tailored suit in much the same way as a man looks at a women in lingerie. There is a reason Frank Sinatra and the fictional Don Draper had ladies swooning when they entered a room… they were gentlemen.

Some people say the clothes make the man. An air of sophistication, the allure of manners and possibly a better life are all part of the mystique. Being a true gent is truly a combination of many things and that’s what this ultimate gentleman cheat sheet is all about.

A igualdade de direitos entre gêneros é uma luta constante para muitas mulheres, mas que costuma ganhar maior destaque – e por isso mesmo chamar mais atenção – durante o mês de março, quando se estendem as celebrações em torno do Dia Internacional da Mulher. Geralmente, o foco maior está no ambiente profissional, como mostra a campanha realizada pela Kommunal, mas muitas vezes nos esquecemos que o problema começa dentro de casa, com a divisão desigual das tarefas domésticas.

Para entender bem como isso funciona na prática, ou seja, como a combinação dessa divisão desigual das tarefas domésticas mais o trabalho remunerado sobrecarregam a mulher em seu dia a dia, criando uma tensão permanente, o Instituto Patrícia Galvão disponibilizou duas ferramentas online.

A primeira delas, é um infográfico interativo que apresenta os dados da pesquisa “Trabalho Remunerado e Trabalho Doméstico – Uma Tensão Permanente”, realizada em parceria com o Data Popular e SOS Corpo, dentro do Projeto Mais Direitos e Mais Poder, apoiado pela ONU Mulheres. O estudo destaca a percepção feminina de como a presença cada vez maior da mulher no mercado profissional – trabalhando tantas horas quanto os homens – não se refletiu em uma divisão mais justa das tarefas domésticas, nem na criação de políticas públicas igualitárias.

E independentemente se você é homem ou mulher, pode experimentar a outra ferramenta do projeto, o teste “Quanto Você Realmente Trabalha?”, para descobrir qual é real participação de cada pessoa de sua casa na divisão das tarefas do dia a dia, como limpeza e compras, entre outras. O resultado pode surpreender você.

A partir do conteúdo do infográfico e no teste, o Instituto Patrícia Galvão quer incentivar as pessoas a refletirem sobre os papéis que desempenham neste cenário. As pessoas podem compartilhar suas opiniões e sugestões em redes sociais utilizando a hashtag #igualdadeemcasa.

Este infográfico mostra que as mulheres não apenas usam as mídias sociais com mais frequência do que os homens, mas elas usam esses sites de mais formas. Mais mulheres também usam os principais sites de mídias sociais e elas dominam os sites sociais que apostam no visual. Nenhum site estabelece o domínio das mulheres nos meios de comunicação social mais do que Pinterest, onde 33% das mulheres norte-americanas acessam (para os homens é de apenas 8%).

Mas o mais revelador é a forma como as mulheres levam a tendência de acessar as mídias sociais via celular. 46% das mulheres usam seus smartphones para verificar as suas contas sociais, contra 43% para os homens. Agora cabe ressaltar que o relatório Business Insider cita que 60% do tempo de mídias sociais é gasto em smartphones e tablets.

O que é que esta tendência significa? Nada de mais, exceto pelo fato de que as mídias sociais dominam as atividades na internet, de acordo com a Business Insider.

Americanos gastam uma média de 37 minutos por dia em redes sociais, e mais da metade deles são mulheres.

Não só isso, as mulheres interagem com as marcas com mais frequência e por uma ampla gama de razões. Elas consomem e compartilham notícias com mais frequência do que os homens, que estão provavelmente presos em notícias e sites de esportes.

Podemos esperar mais conteúdo e marcas inclinando-se para os interesses das mulheres. Se você é uma marca, você deve levar a sério essas tendências para posicionar sua mensagem. Se você é uma mulher, isso é girl power que você pode aproveitar para as questões de gênero.

Talented singer-songwriter Tom Fletcher recently teamed up with his wife Giovanna to create an awesome time-lapse music video, taking advantage of the fact that she just happen to be growing a small human being.

Taking one photo for every day of his wife’s pregnancy, Fletcher put the photos of his wife’s growing bump together with a video of him playing guitar to create a music video for a song he wrote called “Something New”.

This isn’t the first time him and Mrs. Fletcher have teamed up in their musical endeavors, but this is definitely one of the more touching music videos they’ve put together. Titled “From Bump to Buzz”, the title refers to their since-born son’s name, Buzz Michelangelo Fletcher.

At three minutes long, it’s a quick watch and the song itself is incredibly catchy. Don’t be surprised if you catch yourself watching (or at least listening to) it a few times — I’m on the fourth play myself.

The same old motivational secrets don’t really motivate you after you’ve read them for the tenth time, do they? How about a unique spin on things? These twenty productivity secrets of highly successful people will make you reevaluate your approach to your home, work, and creative lives.

1. Drink coffee like Beethoven.

OK, so maybe starting your day with a cup of coffee isn’t that much of a secret, but do you know how Beethoven did it? He made sure to use sixty beans per cup. Perhaps that’s the perfect amount of caffeine?

2. Keep certain days clear.

Some companies are scheduling “No Meeting Wednesdays,” which means, funnily enough, that no one can hold a meeting on a Wednesday. This gives workers a full day to work on their own tasks, without getting sidetracked by other duties or pointless meetings. This can work in your personal life too, for example if you need to restrict Facebook access or limit phone calls.

3. Prioritize your work.

Don’t think every task is created equal! Some tasks aren’t as important as others, or might take less time. Try to sort your tasks every day and see what can be done quickly and efficiently. Get these out of the way so you have more free time and brain power to focus on what is more important.

4. Work where you can.

Agatha Christie never wrote at her desk, she wrote wherever she could sit down. Ernest Hemingway wrote standing up. Thomas Wolfe, at 6’6″ tall, used the top of his refrigerator as a desk. Richard Wright wrote on a park bench, rain or shine.

5. Chop up your time.

Many successful business leaders chop their time up into fifteen-minute intervals. This means they work on tasks for a quarter of an hour at a time, or schedule meetings for only fifteen minutes. It makes each hour seem four times as long, which leads to more productivity!

6. Have a thinking position.

Truman Capote claimed he couldn’t think unless he was laying down. Proust did this as well, while Stravinsky would stand on his head!

7. Empty your mind.

It sounds counterproductive, doesn’t it? Emptying your mind when you have so much to remember seems like you’re just begging to forget something. Instead, this gives you a clean slate so you’re not still thinking about last week’s tasks. Clear your mind and then start thinking only about what you need to do immediately, and then today. Tasks that need to be accomplished later in the week can wait.

8. Pretend you’re on an airplane.

It might not be possible to lock everyone out of your office to get some peace and quiet, but you can eliminate some distractions. By pretending you’re on an airplane you can act like your internet access is limited, you’re not able to get something from your bookcase, and you can’t make countless phone calls. Eliminating these distractions will help you focus on your most important tasks and get them done without interruption.

9. Try different methods.

Vladimir Nabokov wrote the first drafts of his novels on index cards. This made it easy to rearrange sentences, paragraphs, and chapters by shuffling the cards around. It does sound easier, and more fun, than copying and pasting in Word! Once Nabokov liked the arrangement, his wife typed them into a single manuscript.

10. Have a Daily Action Plan.

Don’t limit yourself to a To Do list! Take ten minutes every morning to map out a Daily Action Plan. It’s a place to not only write what needs to be done that day, but also to prioritize what will bring the biggest reward, what will take the longest, and what goals will be accomplished. Leave room for a “brain dump,” where you can scribble down anything else that’s on your mind.

11. Never stop.

Writers Anthony Trollope and Henry James started writing their next books as soon as they finished their current work in progress. There’s something to be said about working nonstop, and putting out continuous work instead of taking a break.

12. Do your most dreaded project first.

Getting your most dreaded task over with first means you’ll have the rest of the day free for anything and everything else. This also means that you won’t be constantly putting off the worst of your projects, making it even harder to start on it later.

13. Have a place devoted to work.

If you work in an office, it’s no problem to say that your cubicle desk is where you work every day. But if you work from home, make sure you have a certain area specifically for work. You don’t want files spread out all over the dinner table, and you don’t want to feel like you’re not working just because you’re relaxing on the couch. Have a space where, when you go there, you know you’re going to work.

14. Pick three to five things you must do that day.

To Do lists can get overwhelming very quickly. Instead of making a never-ending list of everything you can think of that needs to be done, make daily lists that include just three to five things. Make sure they’re things that need to be done that day, so you don’t keep putting them off.

15. Work every day.

Stephen King writes every day of the year, and holds himself accountable for 2,000 words a day! Mark Twain wrote every day, and then read his day’s work aloud to his family to get their feedback.

16. Don’t try to do too much.

OK, so I just told you to work every day, and now I’m telling you to not do too much? It might sound like conflicting advice, but not doing too much means not biting off more than you can chew. Don’t say yes to every work project or social engagement and find yourself in way over your head.

17. Follow the “Two-Minute Rule.”

The “Two-Minute Rule” was made famous by David Allen. It’s simple – if a new task comes in and it can be done in two minutes or less, do it right then. Putting it off just adds to your To Do list and will make the task seem more monumental later.

18. Find your golden hour.

Your golden hour is the time when you’re at your peak. You’re alert, ready to be productive, and intent on crossing things off your To Do list. Once you find your best time, protect it with all your might. Make sure you’re always free to do your best uninterrupted work at this time.

19. Adjust your schedule.

You don’t have to stick to a “typical” 9–5 schedule! Novelist Anne Rice slept during the day and wrote at night to avoid distractions. Writer Jerzy Kosinski slept eight hours a day, but never all at once. He’d wake in the morning, work, sleep four hours in the afternoon, then work more that evening.

20. Be in tune with your body.

Your mind and body will get tired of a task after ninety minutes to two hours focused on it. Keep this in mind as you assign projects to yourself throughout the day, and take breaks to ensure that you won’t get burned out.

Existe brinquedo mais querido do que o Lego? É só ficarmos sabendo de uma versão dos bloquinhos dinamarqueses para qualquer coisa, que vamos correndo ver – de selfie da Ellen a laboratório do Walter White. Depois de invadir as telas do cinema e chegar com tudo, o Lego agora vira mais rock n’ roll do que nunca: isso pelas mãos de Adly Syairi Ramly, apaixonado por Lego e música, que resolveu dar uma “versão amarelinha” a algumas das bandas famosas. O detalhe é que todas as imagens foram produzidas e editadas no seu iPhone 5, sem nenhuma ajuda de qualquer outro programa de computador. Legal é que ao invés de apenas pegar bonequinhos de Lego tocando instrumentos, ele realmente caracterizou cada personalidade: o Flea tem diastema, a Gwen Stefani tem topetão e batom vermelho… Será que sua banda favorita foi homenageada?

There’s an ongoing debate on whether or not English is the most difficult language to learn. Whether or not you believe this is true, I think we can all agree that English is definitely lacking when it comes to defining things such as those listed below. In this infographic we have 10 non-existent English words along with their translation in another language.

Even though there may be words in English that can describe the things listed below, there are no direct translations. For instance, what is a word that means “to look worse after a haircut?” Sure you can say that the person looks bad, horrible or even terrible, but in Japanese they’d be defined by the word “age-tori.”

How about “singing and crying at the same time?” In English, you would use that exact expression or maybe call the person emotional, but in French the person would be defined using the word “chantepleurer.”

Let’s take a look at eight other words that don’t exist in English.

Do you know any other words that exist in other languages, but not English? If so, feel free to share them in the comments.

People get arrested for doing crazy things everyday, but these arrests are usually regarding laws that make sense. You know, like laws against theft, guns, murder, etc. The illogical laws on this infographic, however, are a different story; they’re sure to make you wonder what the states were thinking when they created the laws.

Just think, if you’re a woman living in Universal City, Missouri, you can’t rent an apartment with three other women because it’s illegal. Women also have it hard in Vermont because they’re not allowed to wear false teeth without their husband’s permission. Ticklish women have it made though in Virginia because it’s illegal to tickle a woman there.

In Marion, Oregon, it’s illegal to eat a doughnut and walk backwards on a city street. In Iowa, men with mustaches aren’t allowed to kiss women in public. These are just a few of the 25 weirdest laws in the US that you’ll find listed below.

After reading through these pretty ridiculous laws, which ones are you most surprised about and which ones do you think are the most absurd?

Seu teclado quebrou? Tudo bem. Ao invés de pagar fortunas por um novo, que tal montar o seu em casa usando Lego? OK, é brincadeira, já que as peças coloridas custam caro aqui no Brasil. Mas Jason Allerman conseguiu construir um teclado perfeito — e que funciona! — com o brinquedo. A traquitana demorou para ficar pronta: o protótipo foi feito em 2005 e deixado de lado pouco tempo depois. Os maiores desafios foram criar a estrutura do teclado e, depois, encontrar letras e símbolos apropriados (que só usam peças originais, nada feito em casa). O bacana é que a invenção pode ser atualizada ou alterada conforme a necessidade (ou criatividade) do usuário. Allerman utilizou os sensores, circuitos e cabos de um teclado comum, que foi desmontado para dar lugar as peças. Aliás, lá no site do criador do teclado você também vai encontrar uma reprodução da máquina voadora de Da Vinci feita com os bloquinhos. Bom, depois que vi aquele carro feito de Lego, não duvido de mais nada. Ou quase nada.

Que seu Abel é um fenômeno mundial, todo mundo já sabia. E que apesar de todos os pesares, ele também pode servir de fonte de inspiração para alguns projetos, também. O “muso” favorito dos criativos está de volta, desta vez em On Another Planet, coleção de pôsteres criada por Jonathan Quintin, diretor de criação do STUDIOJQ.

Aqui, o designer reúne algumas frases brilhantes e divertidas que ouviu de seus clientes ao longo dos anos, o que comprova mais uma vez que seu Abel só muda mesmo de nome, endereço e nacionalidade. Confira abaixo e lembre-se com carinho todas as vezes que você ouviu algo como “Eu não gosto, mas não sei porquê” ou ainda “Quero que você use uma fonte melhor, algo divertido como Comic Sans seria legal”.

Apesar de o projeto ter sido concluído em junho do ano passado, On Another Planet é atemporal.

Hi there! Earlier in January I wrote a post How to Embed a Pinterest Board on Your Blog. At the time the post was specifically for WordPress Users (and Genesis Theme users). But today I am happy to share that the Pinterest Widget Builder page has changed and now ALL Blogger and WordPress Users can easily (we are talking copy and paste!) embed a Pinterest Board in a blog post or sidebar!

All you need to do is head over to the Pinterest Widget Builder Page.

1. Select the kind of widget you would like to build.

2. Paste in the URL for your Pinterest.

3. Chose your size.

4. Click “Build it!”

After you click “Build It!” you will see a small snippet of code. Copy that code and you can place that code in a HTML/Javascript widget (Blogger) or a Text widget (WordPress).

You can also place it into a blog post or page by clicking on the “text” tab while you are composing a post and pasting the code there.

Easy-peasy!

Let me know if you have any questions!
