WWW.BUSINESSINSIDER.COMI've never been good at making friends. I do these 5 things now that I'm in my late 20s.I had a hard time making friends when I was in school and college. I turned to books instead and would read about how to make friends to see if I could learn something.I finally learned how to make friends, and here are my tips for doing so. Making friends never came easily to me. I had the social disaster trifecta: introverted, shy, and relatively awkward.Throughout school and college, I always envied people who could befriend everyone around them. And while I'd much rather read a book on the train than get stuck talking to the stranger next to me, I always wondered if I lacked something needed to form the lasting friendships I craved.Books had always provided a form of friendship to me, so of course I turned to the many dedicated to this exact subject: how to make friends. I would consult them for hours, reading them more than once and taking notes on the steps they guaranteed would help me find friends. But a lot of the advice seemed more geared toward extroverts. While the advice books gave me made sense, I realized I had to do that in a way that still stayed true to who I am. Here's how I did that.Start with common interestsThe key to this is not giving up if you don't click with one group immediately. I tried several Bible studies, for example, before finding the right one. While it's frustrating to try multiple groups and put yourself out there, it's definitely worth it when you finally click with people and realize you don't have to look anymore.Put in the time and effortWhile it sounds obvious, I feel comfortable around my friends because I've spent time with them and know they care about me like I care about them. But this didn't happen overnight. When I first joined the Bible study, where I found most of my friends, I felt shy and hesitant to share much about myself. Now, I count these women as some of my best friends. But in the time in between, we all put in the effort to create the relationships we treasure now. Be the first to reach outPutting in effort isn't always a mutual endeavor in any relationship, there are times when one person just doesn't have as much bandwidth. While this used to offend me, I now know it usually has nothing to do with the friendship itself but more one person's ability to be present in the relationship. With my friends now, I'm incredibly fortunate that when I'm stressed or overwhelmed, they show grace to me and step up where I can't. Many of my past friendships didn't work out because we both stopped putting in the effort and now I know that even if the other person stops, I need to maintain my side for the relationship to survive. I'd pull away in the past, thinking the other person didn't care. But sometimes, it just means the one not drowning helps us stay afloat.Be quick to forgive and ask for forgivenessI used to hold on to old slights, thinking I was protecting myself from feeling wronged again. But I was really just blocking myself from developing meaningful connections. It's amazing what happens when you let the walls down and just admit when you're wrong. Recently, I had a disagreement with a friend, and instead of letting myself feel resentful (which would have been my natural reaction years ago), I reached out to him to apologize, and we worked it out. For a friendship to last, the other person must matter more than our pride.Go out of your comfort zone when it makes senseSometimes, developing a deeper relationship with others means doing something you'd usually say no to. This year, my Bible study went to the mountains for one of our friend's birthday, and while I'm usually terrified of traveling, I said yes anyway. I'll never regret hanging out on the deck of our cabin with my friends late at night, hiking the Smoky Mountains, wondering if we'd see a bear, and ordering what I wanted for breakfast because I felt comfortable enough around the people I was with.I'm beyond grateful to have found several beautiful friendships over the last few years. Together, we've tried new things (like line dancing something I would have never imagined myself doing even a year ago) and experienced the joy of spending so much time with people you pick up on each other's catchphrases and adopt them as your own. While I'm glad there are books on how to make friends, I'm grateful I no longer need to consult them I've found my people.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos

WWW.BUSINESSINSIDER.COMNew Zealand relaxes 'golden visa' rules in bid to attract wealthy investors amid struggling economyNew Zealand is relaxing its "golden visa" rules in an effort to lure investors, its government said on Sunday.The visa is set to become "simpler and more flexible," Immigration Minister Erica Stanford said.New Zealand's economy has struggled in recent years, with a recession and rising unemployment in 2024.New Zealand's government announced Sunday that it would be making changes to its so-called "golden visa" in an attempt to lure more wealthy migrants to its shores.Erica Stanford, the country's Immigration Minister, said the Active Investor Plus (AIP) visa would become "simpler and more flexible" to encourage investors to choose New Zealand for their "capital, skills, and international connections" and as a place to "build a life."Following the changes, which are set to take effect from April 1, two new investment categories "Growth" and "Balanced" will replace the "current complex weighting system for the AIP."The "Growth" category will apply to those making "higher-risk investments" such as direct investments in local businesses. It will require a minimum investment of NZ$5 million (around $2.8 million) for a minimum of three years.The "Balanced" category will focus on mixed investments and will require a minimum investment of NZ$10 million (roughly $5.7 million) over five years.The new rules will also see the removal of the English language requirement."Incentivising, simplifying and broadening the investment offerings will make New Zealand more attractive and accessible to more foreign high-value investors," Stanford said. "These changes will turbocharge our economic growth, bringing brighter days ahead for all Kiwis."Economic Growth Minister Nicola Willis added: "We should be rolling out the welcome mat and encouraging investor migrants to choose New Zealand as a destination for their capital."New Zealand's economy has struggled in recent years, slipping into a technical recession in the third quarter of 2024 and seeing rising unemployment.HSBC's chief economist for New Zealand and Australia, Paul Bloxham, said in January that the bank's estimates suggested New Zealand's economy had the largest contraction in GDP among developed nations in 2024, per RNZ.It's not the first time New Zealand has tweaked its visa policies to try to aid its embattled economy.In late January, the country announced a new"digital nomad" initiativeallowing tourists to work remotely for a foreign employer while vacationing."Making the country more attractive to 'digital nomads' people who work remotely while travelling will boost New Zealand's attractiveness as a destination," Willis said in a statement at the time.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos

GIZMODO.COMMission: ImpossibleThe Final Reckonings Brain-Melting Stunts Sound Like a TripWhy do people love theMIssion: Impossiblemovies so much? Lots of reasons, but the stunts are a big reason why, and the upcoming installment, The Final Reckoning,is going to go bigger than its predecessors. Tom Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie recently spoke with Empire Magazine for their cover story on the film, and they naturally hyped up the many set pieces wherein Ethan Hunt will just barely cheat death. (Or possibly die and come back, since that happensbehind-the-scenes video Cruise posted. Being 10,000 feet in the air isnt easy, and he described how going 120-130 miles per hour with his face out of an airplane meant isnt exactly ideal. There were times Id physically pass out, and I was unable to get back in the cockpit, he said. I had to train myself how to breathe. Cruise has previously learned how to pilot a helicopter, hold his breath for several minutes, and inhale pure oxygen for prior Mission: Impossiblemovies, which just makes this another part of his skillset. For McQuarrie, though, its the tip of a perilous iceberg. He told Empire one particular stunt in Final is so bonkers, just talking about it makes him want to puke thinking about the stress. Whatever it is, its not the plane or an underwater maelstrom mentioned during the interview. Cruise has knack for going out and doing something that topped anything he had ever done before, and it sounds like this movies stunts will truly melt your brain. Given everything Cruise and Hunt have experienced, this only makes the wait for Mission: ImpossibleThe Final Reckoningfeel even longer. Is it May 23 yet? Want more io9 news? Check out when to expect the latest Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek releases, whats next for the DC Universe on film and TV, and everything you need to know about the future of Doctor Who.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos

Function - The building's educational wing is a four-story structure with a central corridor and a "T" layout. On the ground floor, there are two lecture halls with a capacity of 100 people each, an atrium, and administrative offices. The upper levels house research and teaching laboratories, classrooms, a library, and a simulation plant. The building hosts the Dean's Office of the Faculty of Pharmacy and four departments: the Department of Pharmaceutical Technology, the Department of Biopharmacy, the Department of Pharmacology, and the Department of Medicinal Plants and Drug Studies.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The other wing of the building functions as a pharmaceutical manufacturing unit, designed according to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and IFS (International Featured Standards). The new research center offers research and manufacturing opportunities not only for the university's own projects but also for industrial partners linked to the health industry cluster established by the university. The research and development laboratories provide facilities for the laboratory development of various products, with a particular focus on drug formulations that can be registered.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!A typical challenge faced by students of pharmaceutical sciences is that due to stringent regulations, they can only access pharmaceutical factories in small numbers and with difficulty, limiting their ability to gain practical knowledge. To address this, the university has created several opportunities for students to observe and participate in operations from within the university's facilities. A simulation plant has been set up, where students can familiarize themselves with cleanroom environments, and they can also take part in the work at the university's manufacturing plant.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Location - The greenfield investment is located in the northeastern part of Debrecen, just a few minutes from the university's campus. In recent years, several manufacturing, office, and university functions have been developed on neighboring plots. The surrounding industrial environment consists mainly of 1-2 story anthracite-colored industrial cuboid buildings. The university's Innovation Park is also just a few blocks away. To the north of the site, there are still actively cultivated agricultural lands.Save this picture!Concept - The unique aspect of the design lies in the intersection of two main functions with distinct characteristics within a single building: the public, open educational wing contrasts with the closed, box-like mass of the manufacturing unit. To resolve this contrast, inspiration was drawn from the research activities occurring in the laboratories: the dissolution, effervescence, and the visually dynamic process of chemical transformation. During a chemical reaction, the two distinct building masses interact. The white, foam-like upper structure dissolves the lower, angular mass, and this interaction creates larger openings, which appear to float on the white faade. The industrial part of the building draws from the surrounding anthracite-clad industrial halls in terms of architecture, while the university wing rests on top of it as a more sophisticated, detailed volume.

GAMERANT.COMOne of GTA 5's Most Memorable Secrets Could Inspire a Hilarious Grand Theft Auto 6 ActivityOne of the most unforgettable hidden details in Grand Theft Auto 5 could be the inspiration for an amusing new activity in Grand Theft Auto 6. Considering how off-the-wall some of the encounters in GTA 5 could get, it wouldn't be surprising if the next game reached similar levels of absurdity. The first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 already gave the impression that the game would pull no punches in that regard. However, there is one specific idea that could be put to good use. Thankfully, GTA 6 should have all the necessary tools to make it work.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos
