In the western world, people are living longer. This is good news, but an ageing population also creates social and economic problems, and we have to limit how much we spend. Who cares for the elderly, and equally important, who pays for that care? Should the government ask everyone to save more money for their old age, so they can pay for their own care? Should we also ask working people to pay for the elderly through higher taxes? One answer, of course, is to help older people to keep up their strength, and to stay fit for as long as possible.

주말에 날씨가 좋았던 덕분에 등산을 다녀올 수 있었어요.
올해 목표 중에 하나가 바로 등산하기였는데 드디어 다녀왔어요.
산 정상까지는 가지 못했지만 그래도 오랜만에 산에 가니까 상쾌하고 좋았어요.

Negotiation is a cornerstone of leadership. From securing contracts to resolving team conflicts, leaders must navigate agreements that benefit all parties. Here's how to excel at this vital skill:

1. Know Your BATNA: Before entering negotiations, determine your Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement (BATNA). This empowers you to walk away if an offer falls short of your needs. A strong BATNA strengthens your position and gives you room to make concessions.

2. Collaborative Spirit: Aim for win-win solutions. Leaders understand successful negotiation isn't about dominance, but building long-term relationships. Focus on common interests and identify areas where compromise can create mutual benefit.

3. Active Listening: Master the art of active listening. Pay close attention to the other party's needs and concerns. Ask clarifying questions to ensure you fully grasp their position. This fosters trust and allows you to tailor your approach.

4. Clear Communication: Articulate your goals and needs clearly, using strong communication skills.  Back up claims with data and evidence to support your arguments.  Be assertive, yet respectful, avoiding aggressive tactics that can damage relationships.

5. Leverage Body Language: Nonverbal cues speak volumes. Maintain confident eye contact, an upright posture, and avoid fidgeting. Projecting confidence strengthens your position and demonstrates your seriousness.

6. Be Flexible, Not Fixed: While you enter negotiations with clear goals, be prepared to adapt.  Unexpected issues may arise.  Maintain a flexible mindset, willing to consider alternative proposals that achieve your core objectives.

7. Patience is Key: Negotiations rarely happen overnight. Be patient, allowing time for discussion and counter-proposals. Don't rush the process to avoid settling for an unfavorable deal.

By mastering these strategies, leaders can transform negotiations from battles into opportunities for collaboration and mutual success.

El Herbario Nacional de México (MEXU)

El Herbario Nacional de México (MEXU) custodia la colección más importante de plantas mexicanas. Con más de 1 300 000 ejemplares es el herbario más grande del país y América Latina; se encuentra entre uno de los diez herbarios más activos del mundo.

Esta colección es un logro de numerosas generaciones de botánicos y exploradores nacionales y extranjeros. Su historia se remonta a finales del siglo XIX cuando surge el Instituto Médico Nacional en 1888, como la institución oficial encargada de integrar los conocimientos sobre los recursos naturales. Hacia 1915 el herbario se consolidó e impulsó al reunirse las colecciones nacionales de plantas como parte de la Dirección de Estudios Biológicos. En 1929 la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, a través del Instituto de Biología, adquiere la custodia del herbario en donde el trabajo y la visión de sus administradores, científicos de talla mundial, han logrado mantener activa la colección dotándola de la infraestructura necesaria para su crecimiento, preservación y uso por la comunidad científica.

Las colecciones continuamente se incrementan con las colectas del personal académico asociado al herbario, por el programa de intercambio de especimenes con otras instituciones y por donaciones. Además, el herbario tiene su propio programa de crecimiento en áreas prioritarias y distribuye los duplicados a otros herbarios a través del intercambio. El acervo está disponible a través del programa de préstamos, lo que permite que la colección se actualice de acuerdo a los cambios taxonómicos.
