Dismisinformation

Tags: Fake News, Disinformation, Misinformation

Since the Covid-19 pandemic started, there hasn’t been a single day in my memory without a chat involving fake news or conspiracy theory. The cherry-picking of data presented in some of the news pieces often make them look so credible that I am often wondering if the information has an element of truth in it. Fascinated by this, I started reading up more about similar topics like misinformation, propaganda, conspiracy theory and so on and realized that anyone interacting with news (digital or traditional media) must be encountering such manufactured information on a daily/weekly basis. A gift I got recently, “Communicating Science in times of Crisis Covid-19 Pandemic”, boosted my interest and I got hooked when a new word ‘dismisinformation’ caught my eye. Let me explain...

Dismisinformation — what is it and isn’t it all just fake news?

Before explaining my understanding of dismisinformation, I think it is beneficial to look at the words fake news, misinformation and disinformation separately.

The term ‘fake news’ loosely represents the any information distributed without or without an intent to spread news without facts. The book refers to this as “entirely fabricated stories” which are often easily identifiable.

Misinformation is a piece of information that is false due to lack of evidence available to prove it and is likely distributed without an intent to spread false information. A great example of misinformation to me was how Covid-19 was considered to be deadly only to a certain age group.

Disinformation is false information generated and distributed with intent knowing that there is factual evidence to disprove it. The book explains it as conspiracy theories, propaganda and similar manufactured information. Articles with cherry-picked data fall under this category.

Dismisinformation is really the broader term coined to cover any and all information created or distributed with or without an intent to misinform people and there may or may not be available evidence needed to disprove it. In my opinion, tagging all of these with a simpler term “fake news” is incorrect because being able to give someone benefit of doubt is very important. In other words, intention matters. A LOT. It also makes me hopeful that with the right level of awareness and policies, the volume of dismisinformation can be be controlled.
Texas Caviar

Summer is here, and it’s a HOT one!

Record temperatures across many parts of the country have made cooking difficult. And eating out regularly can make it hard to maintain healthy habits.

So we decided this month’s recipe should be a cold one!

This “caviar” is naturally vegan, gluten-free, and packed with protein. So it fits well into many diet plans, and it can be easily modified.

And the best part, no cooking!

This is a quick, easy, healthy dish. Great as a salad or side dish. Paired with some grilled meat or fish (or more veggies if you’re vegan or vegetarian!), you can have a complete meal and avoid heating up the house.

The Story:

This recipe (and story!) comes from another Achievement team member!

“This is a recipe passed to me from my mom and is very common in the Southeastern United States. We often tailgate for football games and this is always a dish that’s on the table and a crowd favorite. It’s fresh and healthy, but also filling because of all of the protein in the beans. Served best cold and with tortilla chips and shared with friends (it makes a lot!).” — Jen L., Evidation

Ingredients:

SALAD:

1 15 ounce can black-eyed peas rinsed and drained

1 15 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 15 ounce can sweet corn rinsed and drained

1/2 red bell pepper, finely diced

1/2 green bell pepper, finely diced

1/2 a red onion, diced

2 cups grape tomatoes, halved (or cherry tomatoes or 2 Roma tomatoes)

2 ripe avocados, diced

⅓ cup Cilantro (or parsley), finely chopped

DRESSING:

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup fresh-squeezed lime juice

2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 teaspoon brown sugar

3/4 teaspoon red chili flakes, adjust to your preference of spice

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon salt

TO SERVE:

Veggie sticks, Tortilla chips, etc.

Directions:

Combine salad ingredients in a large bowl. Mix together to combine. Set aside. Whisk dressing ingredients together in a smaller bowl, until well combined. Pour dressing over salad, stir through, and serve with chips or veggie sticks.

8 Sneaky Signs You’re Not Healthy
By: Mustapha Essaqui
Tags: Health Foods, Health, Healthcare, Sing

If you want to keep an eye on your health, you could do worse than to spend a few minutes scrutinizing your body in the mirror.

Most people spend a lot of time staring at themselves in the mirror. Whether we’re doing our makeup, applying face creams, picking at unsightly pimples, or just examining our features, we all spend hours each week (or maybe even each day) looking at ourselves in the mirror.

However, are we really looking at the right things?

In reality, there are a lot of things we should be looking for when we stare into the mirror. There are a lot of signs and symptoms we should all know about.

Although we all know the major signs that we might be unhealthy — high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc. — there are other sneaky signs that show we’re not healthy.

From unseasonably cold feet to rough and dry skin and not-as-full eyebrows, you might never realize that these symptoms could actually be signs of something more serious.

Read on to find out the 10 sneaky signs that you are not healthy.

Signs To Look Out For

If we don’t have any major health concerns, most of us assume we’re relatively healthy.

When I look in the mirror, it’s generally to fix my makeup and stare at my blackheads.

But apparently I should be spending more time looking at the white parts of my eyes, the length of my eyebrows, and the number of gray hairs I find — they could be signs I’m less healthy than I think I am…
№3 What If My Stomach Hurts
By: Anti-Inflammation Success
Tags: Health Foods, Foodies, Anti Inflammatory, Healthy Recipes, Healthy Lifestyle

Hey Friend -

This week we’re talking about what to do when your stomach hurts, chia seed pudding and summer cocktail substitutes — Take a look!​

What If My Stomach Hurts When Starting an Anti-Inflammatory Diet

It’s happened to me before and a few others tell me it’s happened to them too -

They start eating a full on anti-inflammation diet and get some stomach pain.

After all, most of us start an anti-inflammation diet to make pain go away, so it’s a big shock when starting the diet causes stomach pain.

So here’s what I’ll say -

Even if you start to improve your diet and know this will benefit your body long-term, there can be some bumps in the road along the way.

As you start to eat anti-inflammation foods and learn to listen to your personal body wisdom and identify which foods cause inflammation for you, you’ll know it.

To avoid stomach aches, remember these 2 things:

1.) Start the transition into the anti-inflammation diet slowly. I’m not a doctor so this isn’t a formal recommendation, but sometimes our bodies just have to adjust to this diet change and it might take a few weeks or a few months to make the full transition

2.) Pay attention to when you feel that stomach pain. If you consistently experience stomach pain after eating certain foods or certain meals, the best way to identify it is to slowly eliminate one food at a time from your meals to identify what is causing pain. Once you find the food causing pain, you’ll know your root cause.​

This should help you a great deal as you learn what foods work for your body and will support your personal anti-inflammation diet.​

Also use umbrellas, hats, shoes and sandals on your head instead of going in direct sunlight. Drink plenty of water even if you are not thirsty. In addition to water, you can eat coconut, juice, litchi, lemonade, yogurt, etc.

This will keep the body moist. Eat small meals instead of high protein foods. Be sure to take water with you before going anywhere. If you have the opportunity, you can take a bath more than once. (stay safe wishes for covid-19)

In particular, taking a bath before going to bed will keep the body temperature low. Wear light, loose and light colored cotton clothes. Keep the room cool and allow air to enter.

If anyone has shortness of breath, chest pain, weakness and dizziness, consult a doctor immediately. On a hot day, if the food is a little side-to-side, stomach ache, stomach bites, digestion noise occurs. Be careful before eating out.

Outdoor open food and drink intake increases with heat and fatigue. Food is easily contaminated in the heat. Increases the spread of flies and insects, which helps to spread the disease.

As a result, the incidence of water and food borne diseases increases. One of the major problems is jaundice. To avoid jaundice, it is necessary to refrain from eating open food, especially on the street.

Excessive heat in summer increases the problem of itching. To get rid of this problem, you should drink plenty of water in excess heat. It is necessary to take a bath at least twice a day.

Soap should be applied at least once a day during bathing. Eat plenty of foods rich in vitamin C. 13. Heatstroke is a serious health problem in hot weather. According to medicine.

heatstroke is when the body’s temperature control capacity is lost in extreme hot weather and the body temperature exceeds 105 degrees Fahrenheit. Stay indoors or in a shady place as much as possible to avoid heatstroke.

How can I gain weight quickly?
By: Healthy Mind - Think Big
Tags: Healthy Eating, Health Foods, Healthy Weight, Healthy Foods, Weight Gain

Hello Friends! Welcome to Healthy Mind — Think Big. The basic funda to gain weight is that the calories consumed should be greater than the calories burnt per day. But that does not mean we hop on junk foods like Pizza, Burgers because they are high in calories. After all, health is most important. Our goal should be to increase healthy weight.

So here I share with you my 08 tips that will surely help you gain weight in a healthy manner.

01. INCREASE CARBOHYDRATES

Increase your carbohydrate intake. How much? Well, it’s very simple. Just find out your weight in kilograms and multiply it by 4. Now, these are roughly the number of carbohydrates(in grams) that you should be consuming per day. Let’s say my weight is 60 Kg. Now, if I want to increase my weight, I should be consuming 60*4 i.e. around 240 grams of carbohydrates per day. Now, when I say carbohydrates, I mean complex carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates are basically wholegrains. Now, you may also ask how to calculate the number of carbohydrates that we are eating per day. Well, there are a lot of free apps that will help you count your macros. Some of the most popular is myfitnesspal and healthify me. You can download them. You can even google. You know Google has an answer to almost everything.

02. EAT FREQUENTLY

If you want to stay in a calorie surplus, it is better to eat 5–6 times a day. No matter how much you try it will be extremely difficult to stay in calorie surplus when eating just 3 meals. Also, our body has its own capacity to absorb so we should not be overeating. So, eat every 3–4 hours.

What are the 5 healthy habits?

Healthy Eating

Life expectancy depends on the lifestyle

Our daily habits and behavior directly affect the length and quality of life.

This is not an unsubstantiated statement, at present any health recommendation needs proof.

Data from large-scale observations carried out over 34 years (from 1980 to 2014), with the participation of 120,000 people, made it possible to assess the impact on the health and life expectancy of the study participants of their diet, physical activity, body weight, and bad habits.

Healthy eating

Determined by assessing the ratio of the consumption of foods that have a positive effect on health, such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains, healthy fats and omega-3 fatty acids, and foods with a potentially negative effect on health, such as red and processed meats. sugar-sweetened drinks, trans fats, and sodium.

2. A healthy level of physical activity

Have at least 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity per day.

3. Healthy body weight

Defined as body mass index ( BMI ), ranging from 18.5 to 24.9.

4. Smoking

Since there is no “healthy” smoking or a safe number of cigarettes smoked, “healthy smoking” means no smoking.

5. Moderate alcohol consumption

5 to 15 grams per day for women and 5 to 30 grams per day for men. Typically, one serving of an alcoholic beverage contains about 14 grams of pure alcohol. That’s about 350 ml of beer or 150 ml of wine.

Why women live longer than Men…!!
By: Neelam Pandey
Tags: Health Foods, Healthy Lifestyle, Men, Men Health, Womens Health

Writing after so long time makes me feel so good, and coming to today’s topic as promised in my last article. The super interesting topic… why we women live longer than men ?? Anyone have ever thought of this?? What must be the reason behind this ? Looking at Men it looks like Men should live longer than women… However having just the Strong muscle doesn't makes you live longer. It is still the fact ,No Offence to Men out there!! There are certain factors included in this topic and are scientifically correct. Lets jump in to this and check why and how it happens…!!

Everywhere in world women live longer than men- but this was not always the case. The available data from 19th century shows that women didn’t live longer than men it has increased over time.

As per 2017, life expectancy for men was 76.1 years, while life expectancy for women reached 81.1 years. According to U.S. Census Bureau, women’s life expectancy is projected to reach 87.3 years by 2060, compared with 83.9 years for men. Among humans, women’s life span is almost 8% on average longer than men’s life span. But among wild mammals , females in 60% of the studied species have , on average 18.6% longer lifespans. The ratio is considerably different for different groups of mammals. In the past 200 years, the average life expectancy of humans has more than doubled due to improved living conditions and advances in medicine. Yet women continue to live longer than men, suggesting the biological differences also have a role.

Study shows that differences in chromosomes and hormones between men and women affect longevity. For eg, males tend to have more fat surrounding organs , that is they have more visceral fat (Visceral fat is a type of body fat that’s stored within the abdominal cavity), whereas women tend to have more fat sitting directly under the skin that is subcutaneous fat (Subcutaneous fat is the jiggly fat visible just under the skin. Subcutaneous fat is normally harmless and may even protect against some diseases). The difference is determined both by estrogen and the presence of the second X chromosome in females, and it matters for longevity because fat surrounding the organs predicts cardiovascular disease.
How to Reverse Insulin Resistance and Avoid Type 2 Diabetes
By: Key Cellular Nutrition
Tags: Health Foods, Diet, Diabetes Prevention, Health, Healthy Lifestyle

You may have heard the terms “insulin resistance” and “metabolic syndrome,” but what actually are these problems that plague millions of people worldwide, opening the door for type 2 diabetes and a host of other health problems? And what can be done to reverse it?

Insulin & Insulin Resistance

Insulin is a necessary hormone — none of us can live without it. It’s what “tells” our cells to absorb the glucose (or sugar) from the food we eat and use it for energy. It also signals our body to store excess glucose in the liver to use later (which is why it’s sometimes referred to as the “fat storage” hormone).

But you can have too much of a good thing.

When our bodies create excess insulin — driven by unhealthy, carb laden diets and toxins — our cells become resistant to it.

The Standard American Diet (SAD) is chock-full of empty calories and tons of carbs, which fuels insulin resistance.

I like to compare insulin resistance to yelling at your kids (hear me out, I promise you’ll see the connection!). What happens the first time you yell at your child? They’re startled, right? They listen and immediately do whatever is being asked of them. But what happens if you yell at your child day in and day out? They’ll start to tune you out, and your message is lost. They’re not listening anymore.

This is exactly what happens to our cells when they’re overwhelmed with too much insulin in our bloodstream — they no longer receive the “message” from the insulin like they once did, they become resistant to it.

And, as a result, our body pumps out even more insulin, yelling louder, if you will, because it sees that the message isn’t getting through — it’s a vicious cycle!
WILL KAMALA HARRIS BE BIDEN’S VP?
By: Charlotte Zobeir Ali
Tags: US Politics, Vice President, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris

At the moment, she is the favourite

Illustation by Ramlink

Everyone is waiting for Biden to choose his running mate for the 2020 election, one has to wonder why he has not yet decided.

Supporters of various possible candidates are fighting all over social media. There is only one way to end this but so far Joe has remained silent.

The favourite is Kamala Harris but she has many things going against her. As a primary candidate she dropped out of the race in December, her support among black voters is problematic. Many in the community accuse her of being anti black men and hold her responsible for the imprisonment of many in California. Others think she is not African American because of who her parents are. Her “tiff” with Biden during one debate is also often brought out as proof she is not to be trusted and will do anything to advance her career. Besides some voters say she has zero pull in swing states. Due to all this, other names have been put forward for the position.

Stacey Abrams is viewed as the perfect running mate due to the support and respect she holds in Southern states. Unfortunately her lack of experience goes against her.

Elizabeth Warren is also going for the position. Her supporters state that she would be the perfect counter balance to Biden Centrist view. Her detractors argue that she is hated by everyone outside the Progressives bubble and would hinder him.

Amy Klobuchar unlike Warren has a foot in swing states and everyone recognises that Biden won the Minnesota primary only thanks to her. He had no office and did not campaign there. In other words, Klobuchar gets the job done but the Democrats expect a black running mate for Biden. Kamala Harris is thus viewed as the ideal candidate compared to all the other ladies.

Kamala Harris has the Khive, her supporters were left devastated when she dropped out, her come back in the middle of the primary (when she officially endorsed Biden) energised her supporters. A VP position is not only expected but demanded! The Khive is ready to campaign for a Biden/ Harris ticket and will do their utmost to convince those in the black community who are still skeptical to come around and vote them in.

Joe Biden has to make his decision sooner rather than later and the name on everyone lips is definitely Kamala Harris.
This is technically true but a bit misleading.

This is technically true but a bit misleading. Sanders and Clinton had very different agendas on multi-trillion-dollar economic and foreign policy issues. The article you link states:

“The times that Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Sanders disagreed happened to be on some the biggest issues of the day, including measures on continuing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, an immigration reform bill and bank bailouts during the depths of the Great Recession”

Not to mention key proposals like Medicare for All where there is a steep divide between the young grassroots energy and the party leadership. I don’t think we should just paper over differences between the progressive and establishment wings of the party.

Sure, we should unite during a general election campaign against an extremely dangerous candidate (I voted for Biden & Harris in November and encouraged others to do so), but we are now in the middle of a governing year. It’s time to get things done, and we should hold our leaders (including the Biden/Harris admin) to account. Everyone should be vocal about the policies they support and put serious pressure on those who won’t act. To me, this is the whole purpose of democracy.
Vice-President Harris’s tone-deaf cookie choice threatens to derail Biden agenda

Vice President Harris speaking at a Press Conference in Guatemala

While traveling to Central America on a tour to improve diplomatic relations in the region and tackle the border crisis, Vice President Kamala Harris handed out cookies decorated in her likeness to members of the press pool. This move quickly generated sharp backlash from members of the online right and even drew the ire of Ronna McDaniel, the Chairwoman of the Republican Party, who commented that it was the “modern-day equivalent of ‘let them eat cake.”

Even disregarding the immediate political fallout, some have speculated that this move could harm Biden’s agenda, which has faced growing opposition in recent days. While already struggling to gain the support of moderate Democrats, this blunder may push them even further away from the embattled administration. In fact, the growing scandal, now known by many as ‘Cookiegate,’ may have caused Senator Joe Manchin to withdraw support from the For The People Act, a bill he had previously co-sponsored.

For some Democrats, this latest misstep by the administration has brought back memories of Hillary Clinton’s cookie troubles. During her husband’s 1992 Presidential Campaign, Clinton stated “I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was to fulfill my profession, which I entered before my husband was in public life.” This statement received immediate backlash and was a significant blow to the Clinton Campaign. Democrats today can only hope that voters will soon forget about Cookiegate, so that it will not hurt their chances in the 2022 midterm elections.

Even so, many on the left have disregarded Cookiegate, noting that it will most likely have very little impact on Biden's political capital. However, even they cannot predict the future, and only time will tell what comes of this latest cookietastrophe.

The truths held by Hamala Harris during 100 days in office and throughout life — You tell them who you are

After 100 days in power, telling you about some of the truths held by Harris seemed pertinent. Thainá Seriz (she/her) Apr 30·5 min read

Autobiography is a recurring genre in American political culture, because it is used as a literary construct for an official, public and somewhat coherent narrative, with a view to the most diverse ends, depending on the author. Far from personalism, such works end, in fact, by reporting on social forces, contexts, events, people and other fundamental contributions to engagement, militancy or the expression of a persona (Barreto, 2019). Without evading these principles, Kamala Harris themes “The truths we hold — An American journey” (Penguin Press, 2019) with a personal trajectory in close link to the main points of her long standing political agenda, performing, pro-action platform and policies, delineating between biography and the years of public service values, perspectives, inspirations, challenges, dilemmas, eventual losses, victories and objectives to which she believes she can aim, lead and achieve as an elected representative for the voices, bodies, colors and stories directly or non-directly connected to her. Harris’ use of her maternal ancestry, and her mother herself, the breast cancer researcher Dr. Shyamala Gopalan Harris (1938–2009), is recurrent in this volume and constitutes a moving inflection, a reference when always evoked.

For those who want to get closer to or better understand some of the choices of the first Black person, first woman, and first person of South Asian descent to take the oath of office as Vice President Kamala Harris, this report can be a touching start. Agreeing or not agreeing, the invitation to a deep dialogue is sincerely open. The intimate vision remains open, although locked, and even maintained, at a distance.

Harris’ biographer Dan Morain puts Kamala’s way. An American life (Simon & Schuster, 2021; Editora Agir, 2021, as “Kamala Harris. A vida da primeira mulher vice-presidente dos Estados Unidos” in Brazil’s edition) at some point, according to collected impressions, that the current U.S. Vice President is capable of making anyone feel special, or cherished, or welcomed, or heard on her presence, knowing this person or not — it does not matter. Personally, I leave the reading with a privileged view of who Kamala Devi Harris is, can and will surely achieve as a political leadership — especially to girls, boys and women of color worldwide. It is up to you to decide if being this kind of a politician may or may not make the difference (for better) nowadays.

Aligning reward with impact: an update to our equity vesting approach

Aligning reward with impact: an update to our equity vesting approach DoorDash Follow Jul 7 · 2 min read

By: Katy Shields, Head of People

At DoorDash, we believe that outsized performance deserves outsized recognition. We are continually evolving our compensation approach to align our team’s performance with rewards that are meaningful. Furthermore, we want the reward to reflect the work that our team does to realize DoorDash’s mission and empower the communities we serve.

With that in mind, we are proud to announce that we are removing the 1-year cliff-vesting provision on all equity grants for employees below the VP level — including current employees, new hires, and any future teammates who join the company in equity-eligible roles.

We are working to build a company that makes a positive impact in neighborhoods around the globe, for years to come. Our goal is to provide compensation that is at or above-market by functional area for every employee, and to align long-term incentives for those in equity-eligible roles, we also provide above-market equity value in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) to align long-term incentives across our company.

Historically, all of our RSU grants have had a 4-year vesting schedule with a 1-year cliff period, meaning the initial 25% of shares didn’t vest until about a year after employees received their grant. Because we see equity as part of total compensation, we believe employees should receive equity as it’s earned — every quarter. This means that now, 6.25% of equity-eligible employees’ shares will vest each quarter after they are issued.

Last month marked DoorDash’s 8th anniversary as a company. While we are proud of what we have built together over the last eight years, we also know that building the next chapter of DoorDash will be as challenging and rewarding as what we have achieved thus far. One of our company values is one team, one fight, and we know that this decision is an important step in rewarding our team for all their hard work as we continue to expand DoorDash’s global footprint and impact, together.

We pride ourselves on recruiting and retaining top talent, and we are united by our customer obsession and commitment to building a last-mile logistics platform to empower local economies everywhere. We are currently hiring for roles across the company, in over 20 offices, across five countries.

A Digital Product as a Corporate Culture Asset

Broadening the Borders of a Product on the Go

In 2013, I attended a training course taught by d·school( the Institute of Design at Stanford University) in which, at the end of the experience, they showed us a video of an interview to Catherine Courage, by then head of Customer Experience at Citrix, a company aimed at the creation of smart workplaces.

She had been in charge of reshaping the corporate strategy, promoting a work culture driven by the design thinking mindset. She said that to achieve it, she decided to boost internal projects with an impact on Citrix’s own culture. The key was to start small and nail it: that’s how she would prove the equation worked.

At Flux IT, we walked through a similar path and, since then, each time the company pinpoints wicked problems regarding culture or internal processes, Experience Design fluxers embark on super agile research to get the insights that inspire the company to move towards the next level.

2019 was the moment to address weaknesses from the last internal corporate climate survey: on the one hand, there was a lack of clarity perceived in cross processes (like leave requests and travel expenses management) and on the other hand, there was a need for clearer support as regards career development. Our service designers carried out a flawless research work to discover the reasons behind those pain points. They issued a problem statement and a set of guidelines to solve it.

That service design report was a turning point for RunRun: the designers in charge, together with our business analytics mission owner, suggested that RunRun could be the core platform from which we could develop clever solutions on process management and career development.

It was a risky move, since we were about to transgress the product’s original purpose: being a digital playground to inform and integrate fluxers. However, we all detected that, after 6 years of life, it was the right moment to lead an ambitious shift in its approach, one aimed at widening RunRun’s value delivery, seeing it as a tool aligned with culture management.

After going past reflections and reaching agreements, I started redefining the product’s scope, making a commitment to ensure a growth able to meet new demands, both the tangible ones and the ones that may come up under the same value scheme in the future.
