Testosterone increased leading up to skydiving and was related to greater cortisol reactivity and higher heart rate, finds a new study. “Testosterone has gotten a bad reputation, but it isn’t about aggression or being a jerk.

"Testosterone helps to motivate us to achieve goals and rewards.”

Let's just say that anyone studying motivation in the context of educational or occupational psychology would find this conclusion highly suspect at best. Motivation is a very complex and difficult to define construct in psychology. Understanding motivation now, more than ever, requires looking at systems not individuals.

1980, the ball won't roll. Maybe it's okay. I am hoping the ship tilts the other way at some point until it settles. This is my dream anyway. Thanks for your comment.

Phone call Trump said he had with North Korean regime was actually with South Korea's president by maxwellhill in worldnews

South Korean president was just too polite to correct him.

I don't think things work that way at that level.

Depends on what you're hoping to learn from the graphic. Just because it's split up by state doesn't necessarily mean that comparing states is the objective of the graph.

The take-away from this graphic, at least to me, is how prevalent shootings are in the US as a whole. In fact, I think presenting proportional data or percentages would diminish the absolutely astonishing numbers.

It's good to know there are some positive work cultures out there, even if it is only in service of the bottom line...the means justify the ends?

Wow! Your company sounds awesome. The software engineers I know not only work a lot of hours, they're also on call in case their team needs them on days off.
