If so, you aren’t alone. In fact, 77% of people want to learn how to live more sustainably. But, in a world of single-use plastics, massive carbon footprints, and greenwashing, it can be hard to know where to begin. Do these frustrations sound familiar? Well, this is your article!

Some roles are fully flexible, while others require negotiation to have that choice. Those who are self-employed or freelancers can decide their working hours. Further, a majority of their work is remote and they also determine their own fees. For those who work for an organization, there are usually set working hours. However, trends are changing. Employers are now seeing that some employees can work remotely. Video calling programs, such as Zoom, are now used by several professions such as doctors and counselors....

Playing games Like many guys out here, you were probably a passionate gamer once but gave up around your 25th birthday – the symbolic age of the definite end of the adolescent era and careless youth. Ditching your PS4 probably helped you be more productive and social, but video games aren’t necessarily evil, i.e. a waste of time. Gaming as a hobby will serve as an effective stress reliever and can incite creative process in your brain....

As an alternative to SQL, Ruby and Java, Python focuses on readability. When compared with the alternatives, Python is more efficient and productive. It uses fewer lines of code, which means executing commands is faster and requires less computing effort. If you want to learn Python, it is possible to pick up the basics in a few weeks. During this time frame, you can expect to learn how to write simple scripts to solve problems at work....

Jarren was at a Lake Washington Cars and Coffee event this weekend when he saw this note. If you don’t want to squint it says: If you look at the Lake Washington Cars and Coffee Instagram you’ll see a collection of beautiful Alfas, Lotuses, 911s, and event a Morgan Three-Wheeler. There were a lot of choices. “I thought it was pretty cool because that event is packed full of more traditional “enthusiast” cars and so I appreciated that out of everything there someone liked my ratty old Benz the most,” Jarren told me in a DM....

尽管不是所有的学校都采用 CAT4 测试，但英国 50% 的中学都采用了这种测试。 CAT4 测试旨在了解每位学生的学习和思考方式，便于老师和工作人员更好地为他们提供支持。 CAT4测试类似于成年人的 IQ 测试，确定每位学生的潜能和优势基准，同时关注他们可能存在的不足之处。 老师可以根据这些信息精心组织课程，以适合不同的学习类型。 例如，一些学生能够通过图片、视频和表意符号更好地吸收信息，另外一些学生可能更喜欢文字和音频。 这篇文章将帮助家长更好地了解CAT4， 测试的领域以及成绩表示的含义。 什么是CAT4? CAT4由GL Assessment 研发，五年內发布了第四个版本，采用了超过二万五千名学生的数据。 该测试有几个不同的目的： CAT4比传统的基于课程的测试更能反映孩子的潜能概况. CAT4 有助于老师了解哪些学生需要帮助和支持，哪些学生需要激励和挑战以发挥他们最大潜能。 老师可以把具有相似学习技能和特点的学生归为一组。 识别学习偏好。 虽然 CAT4 测试往往是由中学生参加，但是小到 6 岁，大到 17 岁及以上的学生也可以参加。 根据考生年龄段，考试分为七个难度级别： 二年级：X 级（6–7 岁） 三年级：Y 级（7–8 岁） 四年级：A 级（8–9 岁 ） 五年级：B 级（9–10 岁 ） 六年级：C 级（10–11 岁） 七年级：D 级（11–12 岁） 八年级：E 级（12–13 岁） 九年级和十年级：F 级（13–15 岁） 十一年级及以上：F 级（15–17 岁及以上） CAT4的 X 级到 C 级能够较好地反映低龄学生的学习进度和速度。 这可以较早关注学生的优势和劣势。 许多学生在关键阶段 3 也参加CAT4测试，这通常作为一些学校的入学考试或者升入中学时要参加的一项测验。 这可以为学生从小学向中学教育的过渡提供支持。 对一些年纪较大的考生群组而言，CAT4可以作为帮助学生在GCSE、A-Level、大学以及未来职业道路上选择适合自己科目的指南。...

The ADDAX Overland Jeep trailer features independent suspension, a bit like BMW’s crazy multi-trailer, but relying on torsion axles rather than coil springs. It may seem a bit funny that a trailer cosigned by Jeep has independent suspension when Wranglers have solid axles, but it makes a lot of sense when you think about it. Most trailers use a solid axle with semi-eliptical leaf springs just like many pickup trucks....

Looks like our be-stickered, branded-title, B230-powered Volvo 240 has the win. The all-wheel-drive Subaru Outback may be a bit more sure-footed up around Mount Hood, but the Volvo will carry you to Fred’s Sound of Music to pick up your refurbished vintage Technics turntable in more style. So now, as is our custom on Fridays, let’s recap our four winners, and I’ll have my say on them. Chicago – 2002 Chevy Prizm – $1,175 Let’s face it: there were no good choices here....

If you look back through the history of electric vehicles, you could divide electric evolution up into eras. In fact, that’s exactly what our Jason Torchinsky did, dividing EVs up into three eras that span nearly two centuries and are sorta based on the level of technology for the day. Check out this sweet graphic: The Dodge TEVan would fall into the Crap Era, which means that things are going to be sorta awful, but still pretty neat....

Through six mini-games, Cognify assesses problem-solving skills, numerical reasoning, verbal knowledge and, ultimately, how well the candidate will perform in a specific job. Cognify is based on the findings of the Cattell-Horn-Carroll Theory of Intelligence, which describes how cognitive ability varies from individual to individual and the reasons for this variation. The appeal of game-based tests over more traditional psychometric assessments is based on the following factors: Game playing often engages candidates more quickly and extensively than the format of more standard types of psychometric tests....

Also, that car up there is known as The Warrior, and it’s a one-off built by McKinley Thompson, Jr., the first black automotive designer to work for a major American automaker, in this case Ford, starting in 1956. The Warrior was a little home-built side project of his, and I think it’s fantastic. It’s rear-engined, built on a Renault 10 chassis – an excellent starting point, I think, the R10 is a very underrated car – and was designed to be amphibious....

Or are they? Is that boat the kid is holding actually some sample merchandise they want to try and get fish-community distribution for? Is it a fish-boat, where fish can experience the surface, see the sky, all while remaining close enough to life-giving water? Is that what’s happening here? Do they need the rods to catch the fish to actually meet with them? Does mom know? Is there booze in that thermos?...

These were such pleasingly homely little cars, unassuming and humble-seeming. I guess “Companion” isn’t too bad a name for them, even if it sounds a bit strange now. I could see that little putty-colored lump becoming a trusted companion, right? Who was always one of my favorites. So good call. Imagine if a typical bloke shows up at the front entrance of The Ritz in downtown London. He returns from a walk and asks the doorman for the concierge to provide him with his “Standard Companion” since he is ready to go....

Sometimes, you may run into a campground that doesn’t allow tents or tent-based campers because of bear activity. Today, I wrote about the Aliner hard-sided pop-up camper that touts the lack of canvas as a benefit. Among with better insulation and protection from strong storms, Aliner campers tout better security from wildlife than a pop-up tent camper. Sure, a bear could still rip through this camper, but it’ll have to try a little harder than slashing its way through the canvas of a typical pop-up camper....

If so, keep reading for our advice on how to pack luggage and other travel hacks. Use a Checklist A checklist is one of the most important pages to have on hand when preparing for travel (you know, aside from your passport or plane tickets). As a first-time traveler, it’s easy to overlook the utility of certain items like a power or plug adapter (for travel to certain countries abroad) or a collapsible water bottle....

GM has announced that it will invest nearly $1 billion into several U.S. manufacturing sites. The bulk of that money—$854 million—will be allocated toward the production of a new sixth-generation small-block V8 engine. And no, it’s not a retreat from electricity for GM; the rest of that money will be used at plants in New York and Ohio to support EV production. Here’s a statement from the automaker that outlines the scope and importance of this plan: Do you want to hear some specs about this new V8?...

Questions of this kind require individuals to draw on their skills in algebra, arithmetic, data interpretation, applied math and geometry. The Quantitative section carries significant weight in GMAT scoring. The section is scored on a scale of 60 (in intervals of one). The total test score is reported from the Verbal and Quantitative sections combined. The GMAT, including the Data Sufficiency section, is a computer-adaptive test, which means that the system reacts to your ability....
