While many of us are quick to add the term “multi-tasker” to our resumes, in reality, true multitaskers, also known as supertaskers, only make up about 2 percent of the population. Recently, the team at BrainCraftinvestigated what exactly set this talented bunch apart from the rest of us and even recommended a test for you to find out if you’re actually a secret supertasker.

True multitasking is difficult and although we may attempt to walk and text or drive and talk on the phone, anecdotal evidence has shown that doing two or more tasks simultaneously usually results in us doing one task poorly. Research has suggested that this is because our brain’s prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for decision making and complex behaviors like planning, chooses which visual and auditory information to process at a single time, working much like a switchboard.

Supertaskers are different. Their brains are not only able to process multiple stimuli simultaneously, but they are able to do this with impressive efficiency. In fact, according to University of Utah researcher David Strayer, these individuals actually perform better when doing more than one task at a time, Popular Sciencereported.

Conflict Between Science And Religion May Lie In Our Brains

25 March 2016, 10:19 pm EDT By Rina Marie Doctor Tech Times
 

The conflict between science and religion may be attributed to how brains are structured, a new study has found.

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University and Babson College discovered that the dilemma between using information based on faith or scientific evidence to explain many things dates back to many centuries ago.

"When there's a question of faith, from the analytic point of view, it may seem absurd," says study lead author Tony Jack.

It’s not rocket science, even if it feels that way. Here’s how to get things done and take back your time.

 

Don’t you wish that there were more hours in a day to accomplish all the things you’d like to get done? I know I do. Every day I start with my list — even multiple lists — but inevitably, I get side-tracked by a colleague, a seemingly urgent email or another tab opened on my browser that’s just calling out to me.

Extreme Marriage Experiment Suggests It’s Better to Be Right Than Happy

New Zealand man who was asked by scientists to agree with everything his wife said had to call off the experiment after 12 days because it was proving so harmful to his mental health.

The study was set up to examine the old marriageadvice about whether it’s more important to be happy or to be right. Couples therapists sometimes suggest that in a bid to avoid constant arguments, spouses weigh up whether pressing the point is worth the misery of marital discord. The researchers, who are doctors and professors at the University of Auckland, noticed that many of their patients were adding stress to their lives by insisting on being right, even when it worked against their well-being.

So they found a couple who were willing to record their quality of life on a scale of 1 to 10. They told the man, who wanted to be happy more than right, about the purpose of the study and asked him to agree with every opinion and request his wife had without complaint, even when he profoundly didn’t agree. The wife was not informed of the purpose of the study and just asked to record her quality of life. The results were published in BMJ, albeit in the esteemed publication’s lighthearted Christmas issue.

Recently I participated in the community committees meeting of my apartment for the first time ever. Therefore I tried to find some stuff about community or neighborhood. But there's no suitable one that could meet my expectation. Then I found this clip and got interested about why nowadays we would let strangers to stay in our places but spent less and less time to get knowing our neighbors. So here are the questions I want to discuss with you guys.

By Andy Boynton, with William Bole

 

During the recent remembrances of Steve Jobs, one detail of his biography that broke through the tributes was his side interest in calligraphy. “And we designed it all into the Mac,” Jobs recalled in his 2005 commencement address at Stanford, referring to the computer that was the first to have beautiful typography.

 

Jobs was able to come by this innovation because, like many other great innovators, he was interested in more than just one thing. He wasn’t a narrow specialist. And this raises a question at a time when creativity and ideas are critical to business success: Should everyone be a generalist, to some degree?

Question

1.After reading the food culture of America, we know the food culture revolution is following up the country's development. We regrad Taiwan as Gourmet Kingdom, what do you think about the Taiwan's food culture?

2.The food what we eat now is quite different from past, and the diet styles or habits are also changing. Like the end paragraph of article, what's coming up next for you? What's your opinion? 

3.Eating foods or cooking food is a philosophy, there is a common saying'' eat to live or live to eat?''

Which way is your philosophy?
