40 ‘Cool Guides’ People Shared On This Group That Contain Information They Don’t Teach At School (New Pics)
Whether we're talking about politics or the animal kingdom, learning something new can require a fair amount of time and effort. Luckily, we don't always have to read lengthy scientific papers. Some people do it for us. And not only that — they narrow down everything to a few bullet points and illustrate them to help our minds remember.
And if you want a place that stores these effective tools, look no further than the subreddit r/CoolGuides. As the name suggests, it collects picture-based reference guides for pretty much anything and everything.
"If it seems like something someone might print, physically post, and reference then it is a good link for this sub," its moderators write in its 'About' section.

How To Treat People With Dementia
Dana Jandhyala, who has had a long career as an educator where she has taught in different schools and institutes, believes that visuals hold more appeal than plain text to curious and intuitive minds.
"Till date, several studies have been conducted which prove the power of visual aids in eLearning," she wrote. "And there are some interesting results drawn from them. Such as, learners respond to visual information faster as compared to text-only materials. Also, visuals help improve learning tremendously and on multiple levels. Hence, around 65% of the population comprises visual learners."

Simple Trick For Calculating Percentage
I had this realization on my own. I’m crap at maths, it was the best feeling!
Jandhyala said there are several advantages of visual aids:
They help store information longer. "Images are the simplest and the most effective way to make sure that the information gets stored as long-term memory. As per Dr. Lynell Burmark, an education consultant, our short term memory processes words and can only retain about seven bits of information. Whereas, images are directly processed by our long-term memory, where they get indelibly etched."
They make communication quicker and simpler. "Information listed in bullets is no doubt simpler to process. But, that same information in the form of an image or a video is processed even more quickly."
As per the Visual Teaching Alliance:
- Of all the information transmitted to the brain, 90% is visual;
- As opposed to text, visuals are processed 60,000x faster;
- Humans are capable of getting the sense of a visual scene in less than 1/10th of a second;
- 40% of nerve fibers are linked to the retina;
- Our brain can see images that last for only 13 milliseconds;
- The human eye can register 36,000 visual messages every hour;
- Hence, the eLearning programs which incorporate suitable visuals gain a higher preference over.

Visuals aid better comprehension. "They help learners grasp concepts easily by stimulating imagination and affecting their cognitive capabilities. Besides, the visual language is also known to have the potential to stretch 'human bandwidth' – which comprises absorbing, comprehending and analyzing new information."
Visuals act as stimulators for emotions. "Emotions and visual information are processed in the same part of the human brain. Visual stimuli and emotional response are linked in a simple way and these two together generate what we call memories. Hence, powerful images and visual metaphors create strong impressions and lasting memories in learners."
They drive motivation. "Most of the students struggle with some of their subjects because they find them uninteresting and hence lack the motivation to put in the required efforts. Visuals are the best bet in such scenarios. Captivating images, engaging videos, interesting infographics, etc. help learners fight the boredom and motivate them to do better."
So it very well might be that the things you'll learn from these guides will stay with you. At least for a little while.

How To Retain Employees. A Lot Of Companies Need This Guide
....and yet minimum wage is still $7.25/hr in the US, and employers complain "no one wants to work."
Please correct me if I'm wrong (sincerely), but at least in my area minimum wage is irrelevant. Everyone is paying at least $11-12 to start. Not saying that's livable, but I don't think anyone is trying to offer $7.25
Load More Replies...so many bosses don't care. just be appreciated and valued can make employees stays even for a lower pay. i had a job like that before i move to another town where i really love the boss.
The question is, why should they care? Where is the benefit for them? There are all just lazy, look at him, instead. Hard work and a proper plan gave him this position. did i forgot something? My brain feels itchy.
Load More Replies...You forgot “Properly trained”. Even if a new employee fully understands the concept of what your company does, they still need to learn the mechanics, like your software.
Employers that take care of their employees will also take care of their customers/clients.
This one reminds me of a scene from Welcome to Dongmakgol. The N. Korean general asks the village chief "How can you make people follow you and listen like that, without even raising your voice?" Chief: "Oh, just give them food." I also remember this every time our bosses at the company literally bring free food, or any kind of small commom benefits to the office.
If your boss is a micromanager, this will *never* happen.
Or they stay because they are desperate and need money so bad it's probably their second job and choose to damage themselves in other ways to not starve.
Two years ago, I retired from a company branch with a staff of six. That was the second time that I retired from that branch. About three months after the first retirement, my boss called me and asked me if I could come back to fill in for a while, because one of the others had left suddenly. I didn't hesitate – in the ten years he had been the branch manager, he had shown, time and again, that he had our backs, so loyalty given is loyalty returned. It took a year to find someone to replace me and I never begrudged him a second of that time.

They don't want to retain employees, because they have seniority, large pensions, and expensive health insurance policies. They want "obedient (and disposable) workers," George Carlin.
10. Flexible hours. :) I work from home most days and get to wear my robe.
I would add work life balance and not overworking. I just took my first day off in two months (ONE DAY) and am working late to catch up. I feel like my employer meets all of the above and this is just ridiculous.
Happy employees who can make ends meet AND save for retirement and a "rainy day" are more loyal and productive - and far, far less likely to become bomb-throwing radicals.
Yep. Exactly why my dad has stayed with the same company for 30+ years.
i worked at walgreens before, just 'cause they put up a poster doesn't mean anything about the environment. you can trust me on this.
Number 9 needs to be higher up. I experienced first hand what happened to a work culture when the suits changed culture. From full time employment with full benefits and a monthly company picnic paid for by the company. To part time jobs, no benefits, no perks except at 10% employee discount on purchases. Moral plummeted, loyalty plummeted, employee theft skyrocketed, customer service was barely measurable. The company bought cheaper products, resulting in less customer loyalty, and eventually do the the greed of the suits who all had full time positions with full benefits and healthy bonuses, the store went under, leaving everyone with nothing. I would love to ask the corporate heads if they had to do it all again, would they??
Of Course they would. Most of this comes from Cost reducing plans and do they safe money for the company, then they get a bonus. And there are always people out there that say: " I can reduce more!"
Load More Replies...I have to disagree with this one. I have a few people at work that are absolute garbage despite being treated very well, paid well, etc... Some people are just dishonest, lazy, etc...
it says "employees stay," not "employees perform better." But in general, both are true. The crap employees are in the minority.

This what millions of antivaxers are experiencing right now. They feel informed because they did internet research. Or because they are a nurse. Or because they know someone who backs up their opinion. They don't even know how much they don't know. To me, the scariest part of being in the US right now is how willing people are to take their opinion as a fact and use groupthink as a form of confirmation. Thousands of people who studied the subject for 8 years and currently work in the field are saying one thing while the other side has Timmy, the YouTube video maker talking to a guy that used to work at company and got fired is saying another. And somehow the thought process is the video is right. That is scary

Not true. It depends on the type of plant. If it's a deciduous plant, you risk drowning it with overwater / waterlogging. Similarly if it is a succulent. You need to look at the leaf type to determine how much water to provide. Assuming a pot plant: waxy leaves, thicker than paper: 1 cup every three days papery thin leaves, dry/papery surface: ½ cup every two days or ¼ cup every day thick fleshy leaves: ½ cup once a week etc.
