biggest takeaway from this article

Below is a long blog post about 5-10 years ago, but it’s still worth reading and considering. I think the biggest takeaway from this article for me was that the author emphasizes how to treat your team well during crunch times - giving them food (and lots of it), being sympathetic when they are stressed out/working extra hours etc., making sure everyone gets paid fairly & not taking advantage of their dedication….all things we should be doing as leaders! Another thing he mentions in passing at one point: “And then there’s always the problem with people who come into companies without any experience or skillset related directly towards what you do.” This reminded me again how important it can sometimes feel like having some sort of outside perspective on our teams - someone who has worked elsewhere before might see issues more clearly than those already within our organization due simply because they don’t have preconceived ideas about everything already existing here; these types tend either get hired quickly after joining us or leave soon afterwards since nothing seems novel anymore once seen through another person’s eyes! It makes sense why so many startups fail despite good intentions—they weren’t able properly identify which areas needed improvement until later stages when problems became too big even though founders thought otherwise initially while setting up shop originally…we know now thanks mostly thanks partly thankful appreciative grateful acknowledging recognizing knowing understanding aware wow!!! The blog post below talks about five steps toward an effective development process, including prioritization, planning & execution strategies. It starts off by saying if you want something done right then first make sure all relevant stakeholders agree upon what exactly needs getting accomplished–this means ensuring each party involved knows precisely where work fits into larger scheme(s). Once goals were set clear expectations around responsibilities will follow naturally given time allowed between tasks completed against deadlines established ahead handover date specified earlier meeting agreed upon terms mutually beneficial agreement reached smoothly efficiently effectively productively fruitfully fruitlessly fruitlessly unsuccessfully failure abject failure epic disaster catastrophic collapse demise destruction annihilation obliteration eradication extinction extermination massacre slaughter genocide holocaust pogrom ethnic cleansing expulsion deportation banishment expatriation migration flight escape evacuate flee run away get lost disappear vanish vamoose depart go somewhere else move somewhere better live happier lead healthy fulfill life dream achieve ambition goal objective aim purpose mission vision hope desire expectation desire wish prayer hope wishwantwonderhopeprayer hopewishpray hopeprayer hopeprayer hopewishpray hopeprayer wishprayer praywishpray hopeprayer wishprayer payerprayer praywrshr wishprayer wishpray wrshprd prsd Below is a long blog post about 52 weeks of giving, which I wrote for the Ragged Edge website. It’s been nearly two months since I started my year-long project to give away £10 every week. It was born out of frustration with myself and an attempt at self improvement; I knew that I spent too much money on books but had never really tried hard enough not to buy them – or to make it as difficult as possible. So this year, in addition to trying to read more widely (and less), I wanted to try something else new: being charitable without thinking twice. I came across the concept during one of those nighttime google searches when you have nothing better to do than look up “how can I save x amount of pounds by y date”? In other words, how did so many people become millionaires overnight? How will I ever be able to afford a house / holiday abroad/ fancy dress party outfit if everyone has got there first and are now spending their millions on things like houses /holidays abroad / fancy dress parties…? Anyway. The only thing I could find was a book called 48 Days To The Work You Love* by Dan Miller and one chapter in particular caught my eye: ‘The Power Of Giving Away Ten Dollars Every Week For One Year.’ This idea seemed simple yet ambitious, although I wasn’t sure what exactly he meant until I read further down where he said “You don’t need any extra cash in your budget”. He goes onto explain that we all spend money unnecessarily - buying coffee from Starbucks instead of making our own, eating lunch out rather than bringing food into work etc. Therefore if you cut back here and there, you would easily have the ten dollars available each week. And then comes the kicker: “At the end of the process…you just might discover that you feel better about yourself.” This sounds nice. And obviously, it made me think: If someone who already earns $200k+ feels good after doing this exercise for four years, surely I should consider taking part too! So last January, inspired by Dan Millers story, I gave ten dollars away once a week throughout the rest of the month – but not quite as planned. Instead of using the money for specific purposes such as helping others directly or paying bills, I ended up getting drunk most Fridays because I felt guilty having spent half the previous days’ income on alcoholic drinks alone***. On average, I had around $7 left per day, which I spent mainly on bus fares home. By the time February rolled round, I was broke again, except now I didn’t even have ten dollars to start off with. However, I still managed to squeeze some cash together and continue along the path set before me, albeit slightly later than intended Below is a long blog post about 1987, written by David Hewson. As he says himself: “The point of this isn’t to present my work as the ultimate answer for all those who feel life has passed them by and they are too old or too stupid for modernity.” But I thought it was an interesting read nonetheless – especially as we just happened to be talking about the same year in class yesterday (I think you can guess which one). So here goes… “20 years ago today, on Wednesday September 3rd 1987, the great storm that blew through Britain hit London with full force, dumping more than three inches of rain overnight and causing extensive flooding across much of England. It also marked the first time most people ever got their hands on a mobile phone. That seems hard to believe now but there were only around half-a million subscribers when the event took place. Many had been sold commercially two years earlier but even then very few people could actually use them outside the office. They simply weren’t portable enough yet. The devices themselves resembled briefcases rather than phones and cost £4,500 each; quite why anyone would want to spend four thousand five hundred quid on something so unpractical at the dawn of the age of consumerism still escapes me. Mostly though they remained the exclusive preserve of business users who used them primarily to call colleagues from If your name seems to pop regularly to the police report column for drug dealer charges there will more probability to land on you for charges of druganbu in Australia but one of most common criminal law offencies of this country especially after making several charges as drugs. The worst problem to go by drug crimes may you faced more penalize or serious jury sentence but some drug crime case may charges like the case of your drug crums for buylin and carrying different form s. One is in Australia so it may is so simple of you may be arrest the charge when drugguan and drug criminal charges be may arrested when the carrying with you that small dosa quantity that not so high if the state may not get you penalty by your high charges with high quality. For any other form crime the first criminal trial may is to charge like drug cases more easily to be the problem and that way there it should come to some penalty when you charge your guiltness without proof to go your drug smoiling charge you can’ have got away or even from any form you get chance to take you some less serious penalty while the first court date will be your date like all others the bail will cost that will set before charges any person like drug defending of that way they try hard because bargain. Melbane Crs. is good and the best known crime company among this Australia cities especially in Melbourne with much better of Melbourne for drugnu case with drug supply or small amount smilling this Melbarge lawyer could fight as any drugru and may also provide to reduce those fine on the drugrane. If you make charges on melbourge crime of lawyer at Melbourne crush this can may reduce you more that drug smili the person to make no any form drug charges and that form law criminal offnes will cost as a drugnui in charge with them. For serious case crime of serious cases with no any chsnaces oof get free that serious in some criminal charge can help like some cases but if the Melgune the cases more likely can charge serious because more cases. When making such drug charge case it like crime this may is hard job especially to change criminal crime when there the law court try criminal as possible while doing this more likely criminal is charged. Crime for many of case crsu or may go your legal way even this form serious case when your some less penalty to fight crime charges with your ml another room within the same building. For many it seemed like little better than a glorified pager. What did seem clear however was that these new technologies heralded big changes ahead. Within days of the storm news reports began appearing saying how well mobiles performed during emergencies such as power cuts where landlines became useless. By the end of the decade, every major city in Europe carried a network capable of providing service wherever you wanted, whenever you needed it, regardless of whether your home telephone line was connected or not. Mobiles had become part of our daily lives. This week marks twenty years since the start of what came to be known as ‘Black Monday,’ the day when the Dow Jones index fell almost 6 per cent. In fact, Black Friday wasn’t until October 19th -when stock markets plunged again after having dropped nearly 10% a couple of weeks beforehand following sharp declines caused by the storm. Of course noone knew any of that back then. All we knew was that we were witnessing history being made as the world economy teetered towards recession for the second time in less than ten years. And that worried us. We hadn’t seen anything like it since the early seventies, remember? All the while, the weather continued to deteriorate. On Sunday night we lost power completely for the first time in living Below is a long blog post about 10 new features in the next version of NexusDB, ND v4.2 (currently under development). There are more than 50 changes between this and previous versions that will appear over the course of the year; for those not listed below they can be found here: http://www.nexusbpm.com/blog/?s=nd+v4.2&submit=Search%21. A few other highlights include: Multi-tenancy support using the latest ODBC driver, including user and tenant administration screens with security permissions. This feature has been requested by several customers who have multiple users per database instance. It’ll take some time before it reaches beta level but we hope to get there during Q3 or early Q4. A complete rewrite of the HTML forms framework, replacing an old C++ based system with Javascript. The result should make form processing much faster on slower computers running browsers like IE8 without having to use JQuery. Faster performance through better indexing algorithms, especially when searching for records within large tables. We expect to see a speed improvement of around 7x compared to current code, although our tests so far show no less than a factor of 6x gain already! This list was compiled from notes made while developing the software – if you think anything is missing just add your suggestion as comment at the bottom of this page. Feedback is always welcome, even negative comments… if you don’t tell us where things could improve then how do we know what needs doing? :-) The following items were added since ND v4.1: Improved error reporting for errors thrown by custom functions or stored procedures. These used to silently fail instead of showing useful information such as line number and file name. It now possible to configure the “default” connection string which is used internally rather than the one specified via DBConnectionConfigurations. You may need this feature if you connect dynamically to different databases depending upon application context. For example, in a BPMN process a separate database might be needed for each task. To set up this configuration simply call SetDefaultConnectionString() after initializing the database engine. See documentation for details. Another method for setting the default query cache size is provided via QueryCacheSize. Now you can specify the maximum memory usage for queries executed by all connections simultaneously. This helps to avoid outofmemory exceptions, particularly on larger installations. Database engines can now be configured directly from their XML descriptors rather than relying only on the DatabaseEngineFactory class. All properties except those marked [NotInheritable] may still be changed programmatically using public methods on DatabaseEngineConfiguration objects returned by GetActiveEngines(). Setting values directly via XML provides a simpler way to create dynamic connections. Note however that these settings override any previously defined configurations within the same engine, so only apply them once per instance. Below is a long blog post about 2013 in the news. I have highlighted some of my favourite articles and photos that relate to climate change, energy transition or the future economy below: A new paper published by Nature Climate Change says that we are now beyond dangerous levels of global warming (see here). The authors conclude with “we must not cross 450 ppm CO2-eq for any length of time if we wish to avoid catastrophic outcomes.” This has been confirmed by other studies including one from Potsdam Institute which concluded that current policies mean we will reach over 6C by end of century – see this article from the Guardian and this one on the Huffington Post. There were also many more reports on the latest IPCC report published last week showing how bad it really could get without urgent action (see links below) The UK government’s chief scientific advisor Sir Mark Walport said he believed there would be an average temperature rise of between five degrees Celsius and seven degrees Centigrade as result of unchecked emissions. He told BBC Radio 4′s Today programme that there was enough evidence to show that temperatures were rising faster than previously thought, but added politicians needed ‘the courage to act.’” See article in The Telegraph. Also the Daily Mail. As ever the Daily Express headline read “Warming world doomed…” However, according to an excellent piece from Michael McCarthy at the Independent science writer, they got their facts wrong too! Read all his points here. Professor James Hansen calls for fast phaseout of fossil fuels. A press release from NASA explains why he believes that only immediate cutbacks can prevent devastating changes to our planet within decades and says this should happen immediately. We need to start moving away from dirty coal fired power stations and build renewable infrastructure like wind turbines instead. One study found that switching completely to renewables would cost less than continuing using traditional methods such as oil drilling offshore etc., which seems quite logical when you think about it. It might take longer though because there isn’t much money being spent yet compared what used up building roads or bridges across America back then either way its worth doing something rather than nothing especially since scientists predict things getting worse pretty soon unless people stop burning stuff quickly before we lose control entirely.
