Handling Different Communication Styles In Business | Getentrepreneurial.com

Have you ever come out of an important meeting feeling confused or frustrated? Was there ever an occasion where you found it difficult to explain yourself to a colleague or customer?

When it comes to communication, there’s no one-size-fits-all style. All of us communicate differently and sometimes this difference can make matters difficult for your business. By understanding different communication styles, you can enhance workplace productivity leading to better business results.

What are communication styles?

Communication styles are our preferred way of interacting with others. Some people may find it easier to articulate confidently how they feel. Others may prefer keeping their opinions to themselves because they want to avoid conflicts.

In every workplace, you will find people with different preferences. A healthy workplace will encourage a good balance of these differences to encourage new ideas and processes.

More protein at breakfast makes for better muscle growth, study indicates | New Atlas

A fascinating new study from researchers in Japan indicates a person’s metabolism of dietary proteins is influenced by when they consume their meals. The study found protein consumed early in the day promotes better skeletal muscle health and growth.

Chrono-nutrition is a relatively new area of nutrition science exploring the ways our circadian clock influences our metabolic functions. To put it simply, there is increasing evidence to suggest when we eat can be just as important as what we eat.

For decades there have been questions over whether it is optimal to eat the biggest meal of the day in the evening. While some research has linked obesity with eating the majority of one’s daily caloric load late in the day, it is clear each person’s biological clock can be different. So any general one-size-fits-all eating rule may be futile.

Cars have been guzzling leaded gasoline for 99 years. Not any more | CNN

Nearly a century of leaded gasoline use on roads around the world has come to an end, the UN Environment Programme announced Monday, after Algerian service stations stopped selling the fuel last month.

Leaded gasoline — which contains the compound tetraethyllead and is linked to serious health problems — was first patented for use in 1922, allowing cars to use higher compression ratios, making them more powerful. By the 1970s, it was present in almost all gasoline worldwide.

What chronic fatigue syndrome can teach us about ‘long COVID’ | Live Science

Brain fog. Fatigue. Sleep problems. These symptoms plague many people with “long COVID” for weeks or months after recovering from COVID-19. But these symptoms are also remarkably similar to those of another disorder that’s been studied for decades: myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), which is characterized partly by unexplained fatigue.

Researchers hypothesize that the two conditions may have similar causes. They also hope that existing knowledge about ME/CFS might be able to help some long COVID patients and that the study of long COVID may spur treatments for ME/CFS and better care for patients.

What Is a Whole Food Diet And Does It Really Work? | Life Hack

I’ve been a dietitian now for a long time (more years than I care to mention), and if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that fad diets are best avoided. This is why I’m so pleased that whole food diets are being talked about more and more.

Rather than a “diet,” I prefer to think of a whole food diet as a way of life. Eating this way is balanced, and it is a great way to support your all-around body health and longevity. Plus, it’s delicious and—in my opinion—not limiting either, which is a massive bonus.

Manchester City’s soccer stadium now offers edible coffee cups | Fast Company

The Premier League, the most-watched league in the world, has restarted—with the thrill of fans back in the stands. Already, reigning champion Manchester City has bought breakout star Jack Grealish for a record £100 million, is mired in a tug of war for striker Harry Kane, and was dealt an unexpected opening game loss against Tottenham. But, the team’s quirkiest development this season may be off the pitch, over in the concessions stands.

Starting this weekend with Man City’s first home game, and throughout the season, Etihad Stadium will be serving hot drinks in edible coffee cups. The receptacles are made of wafer and keep their form when containing coffee, tea, or hot chocolate—and, crucially, don’t end up in the trash. The club announced the trial of the edible cups as part of a range of new concession-stand offerings for the upcoming season, many of which address environmental sustainability.

Redomestication: How to Move an LLC or Corporation | AllBusiness.com

Redomestication refers to when a business changes the state that’s considered its home state (also known as its “domicile state”). It’s a process that shifts a company’s charter to a different state, altering its residence.

Before I get into what’s involved with redomestication, let’s first talk about “domestication” and a business’s domicile.

Business domestication and domicile

Generally, a limited liability company or corporation’s domicile state is the state where the business was legally formed. Domestication, establishing a home state, gets completed by filing forms called Articles of Organization (LLC) or Articles of Incorporation (corporation). The domicile is usually where the principal place of business resides.
