Abstract (English): The digital agency Format D has a stylish office in Munich, which is often empty as all employees are on the go. The bosses pay for trips to Portugal and a villa in Tuscany to satisfy their own selfishness. The agency develops websites and online shops for medium-sized companies and has an annual turnover of around 2.5 million euros. The founders of the company aim for work to be fun and for all employees to feel comfortable. They are looking for young, flexible nerds who can work well in a team and handle demanding clients. The office itself is located in a former Siemens building and offers a pleasant working atmosphere. The agency values structure and plans working hours electronically. Nevertheless, employees are given a lot of freedom and appreciation. The agency consciously wants to remain small and invests surpluses in the equipment and well-being of its employees.

Abstract (German): Die Digitalagentur Format D hat ein schickes Büro in München, das jedoch oft leer steht, da alle Mitarbeiter unterwegs sind. Die Chefs bezahlen Reisen nach Portugal und eine Villa in der Toskana, um ihren eigenen Egoismus zu befriedigen. Die Agentur entwickelt Websites und Online-Shops für mittelständische Unternehmen und hat einen Jahresumsatz von rund 2,5 Millionen Euro. Die Gründer der Firma haben das Ziel, dass die Arbeit Spaß macht und sich alle Mitarbeiter wohlfühlen. Sie suchen junge, flexible Nerds, die gut im Team arbeiten können und mit anspruchsvollen Kunden umgehen können. Das Büro selbst ist in einem ehemaligen Siemensgebäude untergebracht und bietet eine angenehme Arbeitsatmosphäre. Die Agentur legt Wert auf Struktur und plant die Arbeitszeit elektronisch. Trotzdem wird den Mitarbeitern viel Freiheit und Wertschätzung entgegengebracht. Die Agentur möchte bewusst klein bleiben und investiert Überschüsse in die Ausstattung und das Wohlbefinden der Mitarbeiter. [Extracted from the article]

مستخلص: FEATURES PART II • THE BODHISATTVA PATH ACCORDING TO LEGEND, Shantideva's great eighth-century text, the Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life, (the Bodhisattvacharya-vatara, which can be shortened to the Bodhicharyavatara), is said to have been spontaneously spoken by Shantideva, in rhymed Sanskrit verse, as he slowly floated up into the air above Nalanda University. Far from the usual view of self and other as inherently at odds, bodhisattvas know that there is no self apart from others. A truly versatile bodhisattva, Shantideva went beyond his monastic training, beyond his devotion to meditation and study, because he understood that bodhisattvas always go forth to do practical service in a needy world in whatever way they can. By the time Shantideva is done, he has convinced us that the bodhisattva path - outrageous and impossible as it seems at first - is a downto-earth way of life we can actually live.

مستخلص: The article discusses the idea of breaking traditions during the Christmas season. The author questions why self-care is often seen as selfishness during this time and encourages readers to break free from societal expectations and prioritize their own well-being. Examples of Christmas rebellions include abstaining from alcohol, abandoning adult gift-giving in favor of memorable experiences, dining out instead of cooking at home, and traveling to different destinations during the holiday season. The author emphasizes the importance of finding ways to rebel against traditional expectations while still considering the feelings of loved ones. [Extracted from the article]

مستخلص: The article describes a study which looks at the impact of automated agents on consumer behavior. Previous research indicated that consumers prefer to interact with human agents, but new research suggests that consumers would rather receive disappointing offers for a product from a bot. Topics include the percentage patterns of consumer interactions, inferred consumer reasoning for these patterns, and the potential for ethical concerns.
