Fluor joint venture generates first steam in KNPC clean fuels project
Ronak Bora Date: 2018-11-04 Clean technology
Fluor Corporation's joint venture team, FDH JV, has reportedly produced its first steam into the Kuwait-based Clean Fuels Project for Kuwait National Petroleum Company. As per credible sources, the workforce of 12,000 has achieved a milestone of 60 million work hours without any lost time incidents.
Al Collins, President of Flour's Energy & Chemical business in Europe, Middle East, and Africa said that the project is a significant milestone which denotes the completion and revenue of its foremost utility units by FDH JV and KNPC, that have been keeping these units operational with the company's continuous support.
Collins further noted that the site's 12,000 craft workers are being supported by the joint venture's project team members in three continents and a global operation for a major project. Achieving these milestones demonstrate the company's plans to deliver the remaining units in the project to back KNPC's ambitious Clean Fuels Program, Collins added.
According to sources familiar with the development, the project is being set up on three refineries which are owned and operated by KNPC. The firm plans the retirement of existing processing units at Shuiba as well as a major expansion of the Mina Abdullah and Mina Al Ahmadi refineries to assimilate the refining system within one complex with full conversion operation.
The joint venture led by Fluor along with Daewoo Engineering & Construction and Hyundai Heavy Industries is accountable for engineering procurement and construction and associated pre-commissioning as well as testing support for the Mina Abdullah package. Post commissioning, both the refineries will have a capacity of 800,000 barrels-per-stream to suffice local and international demand for renewable fuels that adhere to the most stringent environmental standards.
For instance, the American Society of Safety Engineers recently presented the project with its Gold Award for Health, Safety, and Environmental excellence. The relentless commitment on risk identification and mitigation followed by an active engagement at all levels helped achieve the strong safety culture at the site, cite sources.

Q: Webstorm's build-in web server file caching settings? Tools: JetBrains' Webstorm 10.0.4 -its a pretty fresh install and no plug-ins. Chrome Version 43. The project is vanilla html, css and js.
Issue: While local debugging, Files sometimes cache when using the built-in web server (I click run and opens Chrome to a URL that has the form: "http://localhost:[Port]/[ProjectName]/index.html"). Pressing f5 will show the cached version but cntl-f5 will fetch the current.
Detail: The request header contains "Cache-Control:max-age=0" (meaningless?). Opening the file in Chrome with "file:///C:/Users/[Username]/WebstormProjects/WebLayout/index.html" doesn't seem to have this problem but f5 on the web server version will still yield the cached version.
Attempts:

*

*Editing run/debug config. I see nothing related to what I'm looking for.

*I tried finding web server settings to set response headers manually. "File" > "Settings" >> "Build Execution Deployment" > "Deployment" has no servers configured. I think this is for pushing remotely.

Speculation: Chrome is caching Webstorm's web server files because it isn't setting "no-cache" response headers. I can't find where/how to set those options.
Current Fix:
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate" />
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0" />

Sample Headers:
General:
Remote Address:127.0.0.1:9129
Request URL:http://localhost:9129/WebLayout/index.html

User-Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64) ... Chrome/43.0.2357.132 Safari/537.36

A: WebStorm built-in server send
1) cache-control: "private, must-revalidate"
2) last-modified: file last modified.
I see two possible reasons:
1) WebStorm sends incorrect file last modified (we use virtual file system). Is index.html edited inside WebStorm or outside?
2) Maybe it is Google Chrome bug. In this case we can add option to disable "if modified since" support and always send "Expires: 0".
Could you please inspect network headers?

Meghan Markle Plans To 'Rethink Parenting Style' For This Reason
by Alex Alice November 9, 2022
courtesy via nytimespost
Meghan Markle joked that she has to "rethink" her parenting style if she wants her children to be more "self-sufficient" in the future.
On Tuesday, Markle sat down with Mellody Hobson, the chairwoman of Starbucks and co-CEO of Ariel Investments, for her Spotify podcast "Archetypes."
Hobson, 53, shared her experience growing up as the youngest of six children raised by a single mother in Chicago and revealed that her mother raised her kids to go after what they wanted. At one point during their conversation, the Princeton University alum recounted how she looked for her own orthodontist when she was a child.
"I went to the appointment by myself," Hobson said of investigating braces in the sixth grade, Us Weekly reported. "I had these horrible teeth. I was in sixth grade. … I asked all of my friends who their orthodontist was and I called and made an appointment."
Hobson remembered being alone in the exam room as the doctor explained to her that she would need braces and even laid out a payment plan for her.
"He told me it was $2,500 — he's telling this to a 12-year-old. … And he gave me a payment plan," she shared.
The Duchess of Sussex was impressed by the former Dreamworks Animation chairwoman's story and joked that she has a lot of work to do if she wants her children with Prince Harry, 3-year-old Archie, and 1-year-old Lilibet, to be as self-sufficient.
"I have to rethink my parenting style. If that's what yields you, then I've really got to up my game with our kids being self-sufficient," Markle said.
The former "Suits" star has been giving fans a glimpse of their family life in California on her podcast. In a previous episode, she praised Prince Harry for helping her with their kids every morning.
"I'm sure it'll only get more chaotic as they get older," Markle said of their morning routine as a family. "But for me, it's, you know, both monitors on for the kids to hear them, always up with Lili, get her downstairs, then a half hour later, Archie's up. I start doing his lunchbox right before he's up while I have her, getting her a little nibble. My husband's helping me get him downstairs."
She added, "I make breakfast for all three of them. It's very important to me. I love doing it. To me, it just feels like the greatest way to start the morning."
In another episode in which she discussed how her stint on "Deal or No Deal" made her feel "objectified" and "reduced to a bimbo," the mother of two shared her hopes for her daughter Lilibet in the future.
"I want my Lili to want to be educated, and want to be smart, and to pride herself on those things," Markle said.

Diary of a Brussels Kitchen Garden
About the Garden
Introduction to the Author
Gardeners are by nature communal creatures, put two together in one place and a discussion of beans, tomatoes and cucumbers will ensue. Gardening is an international and cross cultural activity, often based on traditional practices and histories stretching back over generations. Unfortunately in our modern busy world gardening knowledge is dying out and people no longer have any understanding or connection with the food they eat. Most gardeners consider this loss of knowledge a very sad development.
A gardener is a person who takes responsibility for the one small ecosystem that is their garden. By understanding the health of a garden ecosystem and making it productive the gardener takes account of the native species of plants, birds and insects that all live there. Just as no man is an island, so each garden is affected by everything around it, by neighbouring gardens, surrounding buildings or neighbouring farms.
All gardens experience national and international weather conditions, are affected by trans-national pollution issues and are subject to environmental constraints such as water shortages. In recent years changes in climate patterns are becoming more noticeable and whether these are man-made or natural, they are now having a significant impact on global food production and are appearing at the small domestic garden level. Gardening knowledge now requires an extended understanding of factors affecting plant growth.
The global community of food producing gardeners has never been better served with technical information on gardening issues. With the internet there is an over-abundance of information, often misleading and often of such a generalised nature, local application is difficult. However, as the interactivity of the internet improves, new communities of practitioners are becoming connected and new forms of localised application are emerging.
Organic farming is now a global movement toward sustainable agricultural production, integrated with local traditions and indigenous cultural practices to achieve a more balanced and less environmentally destructive form of food production. Systems such as permaculture have emerged to empower local communities to take responsibility for the environment and employ techniques which restore natural systems and provide for local needs. Thinking globally and acting locally has never been easier.
Community gardening in its many forms, whether creating local allotment schemes, restoring nature in urban brownfield sites, building communal gardens or encouraging local schools to develop educational gardens, all work in a global context of understanding environmental change and adapting human behaviour towards a more sustainable practice. Knowledge and understanding of climate change and how it may affect our lives in the future does require a communal approach at a very local level.

This Is The Most Powerful Native American Tribe In History
From community

Watch this documentary about the most powerful tribe in Native American history.
Before America was the United States of America it was populated by various Native American tribes. Some tribes were larger and lived in more expansive territories than others. Some of the especially notable tribes were the Iroquois that held vast territories in Eastern America and the Ojibwe in the Midwest. But in the Southwest, the Comanche nation was the dominant tribe of the southern Great Plains. They were known for their ruthless warriors and raids on other tribes and European settlers alike. Their dominance and ruthlessness earned them the nickname "The Lord of The Plains." But why were the Comanches so successful in asserting their rule? What made them one of the most powerful Native American tribes in history?

I don't know exactly what happened, but my friend, Bree, told me my account was gone. I checked my email and I had nothing from Twitter except that my password had been changed.
I don't have the time to fool with this right now. So maybe I should thank the hacker for reminding me I need to spend my time writing and not chatting with people, as much as fun as it was. Sorry about the Ipad giveaway, but without Twitter that's a moot point. But you can still win some books on here and an ebook reader. Happy trails, people.


Experiencing and navigating through The Fog Is Filled With Spirits means getting lost in its otherwordly record cover first. Highly immersive and atmospheric, the sleeve leaves you daydreaming and flickering through its metaphorical and surrealistic elements. Gazing at it, you will find boundaries dissolving between dream and reality. You become part of the picture, slipping into that eerie fog. The first thing that catches your eye is this not so blurry silhouette whose hands are trying to reach the moon, it seems ready to levitate. Is it a ghost? One thing then strikes you, the silhouette has no head but its face with no eyes appears up close next to the album title, as if it was whispering those words. True artists don't state the obvious, they arouse the viewer or listener's imagination, which is precisely what All In The Golden Afternoon is doing here.
The opener "Magic Eyes" lures you even more with its sibylline vocals, it fully propels you into an uncanny dimension. The Goldstars are masters at depicting the elements in their songs, they have the power to paint not only mental pictures but the different sensations that come with your surroundings. "The Fear and The Flame" is a tune of hypnotic magnitude whose musical texture properly sets the tone of the record, it reminds of Broadcast circa 2005, especially with Rachel's enchanting voice. The fog is filled with the spirit of Trish Keenan. That beat holds you spellbound. The foggy journey through the record is dotted with various recollections of places the band is smitten with. "The Long Goodbye" is a wondrous number that echoes "The Fear and The Flame", it captures how hard it is to leave a place you hold dear to your heart. The melody is adorned with longing fairy-like backing vocals and attired all over in a sorcerous atmosphere.
All songs on the record are a sort of emotional rollercoaster, bittersweet and captivating that keeps you hallucinating. "With Your Eyes" lets you penetrate further into the fog with an angelical beginning and a stark ending.
The title track makes a final spectral pinnacle, signifying the end of the passage from blur to clarity. A staggering conclusion to the record. Let your soul get lost in the fog again, you may have a visual and sensory epiphany.
Comprised of artistic wife and husband Rachel Staggs and Carlos Jackson, All in the Golden Afternoon are one of Austin, Texas' musical powerhouse gems. With Staggs having played in Experimental Aircraft in the late 90's for a decade and the duo having shared the stage with Beach House, Animal Collective and Spectrum, All in the Golden Afternoon have been steadily gaining momentum in Austin's music scene and beyond. The band is set to release their LP, The Fog is Filled with Spirits on October 18th with a celebratory record release party taking place tomorrow night at Cheer Up Charlies. We got to chat with the band about their upcoming release, their paranormal tour adventures and the wax and wane of Austin's local music scene.
ANON: How did All in the Golden Afternoon initially come together?
Carlos: Rachel was playing bass for the Black Angels in 2004. She invited me to try out for guitar, as they were still developing their sound. My proto-pop band the Shells was dissolving around the same time, so when Rachel decided to leave their band, we started tracking all of the ideas we always wanted to make but felt restricted to before. I had been using a Tascam 38 with one broken track that only recorded backwards, and our first EP was a direct result of flipping tape back and forth for months. Rachel and I have both written countless songs and there are certain aspects of composing that annoy the hell out of us, so our automatic composition process produced anomalies we couldn't achieve with traditional composition methods, and we immediately connected.
ANON: What vision did you have for your upcoming LP, The Fog is Filled With Spirits? What was the recording process like?
Carlos: We began recording the tracks on the same broken 8-track, then took the analog recordings to London in two different sessions. We brought tracks back each time adding more tracks at home, then finally mixing everything with Louie Lino at Resonate studio here in Austin. Many of the lyrics were written and inspired while touring the Czech Republic in 2011. Bohemia was misty and eerie; a local band told us about the white lady who often appears over Jindrichuv Hradec's lake.
Rachel: Our previous album was called Magic Lighthouse on the Infinite Sea and we wanted to continue this mysterious line of exploration. The Czech Republic and traveling in general was a huge inspiration.
ANON: Can you tell me about one of your most memorable touring experiences?
Carlos: We saw ghosts in two different towns in Moravia, but only while we were performing. One was sitting in a corner in a basement in Olomouc, and the other was near the sound board in Sumperk. I also loved playing in Nantes, France during SOY Festival. It was like a small SXSW but the main venue was part of a castle.
Rachel: The ghost in Sumperk was hovering at the front of the stage while we were setting up gear. I could see him in my peripheral vision and when I would look up to where he was standing, there wasn't anyone there. I wrote about it on my travel blog, Artist Wandering. I remember calling across the stage to Carlos as we were both plugging in pedals and such, he said he saw and felt it too. I thought it was the sound guy, which is why Carlos remembers the sound board. But the sound board was way in the back, far from the stage. The presence was so intense and he certainly wanted us to hurry up and get the hell out. Once we started performing, he disappeared. It was my birthday and we really connected with the local band and host.
During our second sighting in Olomouc, Carlos wasn't able to see the ghost, I could only see it when I would look over at Carlos' hands to see where he was in the song. So, this particular ghost, another man, was sitting in a corner and when I first spotted him on the other side of Carlos I thought, "Oh man, I hope he likes our set because he's stuck back there behind our equipment." But when the set was over, there was just an empty chair there. It was a bit unnerving to see him every time I looked over at Carlos during the set, but he quite enjoyed the music! He had very good vibes.
Bohemia was more visually mysterious, but the otherworldly visits in Moravia, I suppose. I've always been open to the unknown but I've never had such vivid contact with the paranormal. In general, I prefer touring in Europe. Music is treated more like the form of art it is and musicians are taken care of in ways that seem basic (dinner, a place to sleep, payment) but when you're doing things on your own (booking, promoting, driving, loading, unloading, performing, etc) it makes a huge difference in how we function.
ANON: What are your thoughts on being a musician in the Austin music scene? How have things changed since you started playing music in the late 90's?
Carlos: I moved here in 2002, and it's quite a bit different. There are so many bands now; it's easy to get lost in it all. There are no shortage of ideas floating around and we're meeting more and more people we are cosmically connected with.
Rachel: I've been playing around town since 1997. I've seen so many of my favorite performance spots close. Electric Lounge, Liberty Lunch, you know. I even remember when Red Eyed Fly opened and they had the cleanest women's restroom in town! Also, they didn't have a patio, everyone wanted to play there and the inside room was often packed. I haven't been in there in years. Emo's (on Red River Street) was our hub. I played so many great shows there and saw so many great shows there. It was home. When that closed and moved, no matter how divey, it was the end of an era.
15+ years ago the community seemed more tight-knit. Maybe because it was smaller? We would all want to book each other so we could perform together and hang out. There wasn't any sort of competition vibe. We were all in it together. I booked shows, entire bills, all the time and never took a cut as the booker. I was young and the extra work was part of the passion. I'm slowly getting back out there locally and finding the new generation to be supportive, inspiring, and super creative.
ANON: What albums have been on your playlist as of late?
Carlos: MJQ era Milt Jackson, Gal Costa's 1969 s/t record, Harmonia's Deluxe, lilys the three-way, Booka Shade's Movements, lots of King Tubby & Eno.
Rachel: The Kills' Ash & Ice, S U R V I V E's RR7349, Prince Rama's Extreme Now, Stereolab's Switched On (always), and anything by Walter Wanderley.
All in the Golden Afternoon's LP, The Fog is Filled With Spirits, includes enigmatical cover art by Iker Spozio and inside artwork by Rachel, limited to 250 copies.

It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring and the kids need some fresh air and a run around outside. "DryKids" was born because our own kids loved to be outside playing, climbing and getting wet whatever the weather and location. The Regatta ranges were a good place to start and ticked our main requirement Value for money, so we set up stall and started selling these and a few other styles until we decided that what we were missing was colour!
The first "DryKids" own range of over trousers (designed in the UK) arrived soon after in 4 bright and fun colours and was an instant hit with parents, playgroups and primary schools alike. We then also added an all in one Rainsuit that will fit up to an 11-12 year old to cover all the age groups from 2 to 12. With new colours and styles being added throughout the year at sensible prices, now all kids can enjoy playing outside and leave the old man to get back to his forty winks!

A large majority of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the building and construction sector are upbeat about the future and are lookingThe basics of commerce have always remained the same but in past 15 years the most visible change that happened was the emergence of internet as a crucial ingredient of business. It has changed the way interactions take place and opened the doors for various exiting opportunities.
Having more than a million suppliers and 50000 product categories, IndiaMART has always been a front runner to use and upgrade the technology to make commerce happen. With a focus to deliver value and reduce inefficiencies, IndiaMART has become the preferred platform for B2B transactions in India.
Profitable from day on – For a start up, managing cost and generating revenue should be the priority. Focus on revenue generating models and remain on the ground in terms of investment. Though we had a strong, belief in the idea of online B2B services, we never speculated and always remained practical. That was the reason we were able to generate revenue from day one.
India and Internet Story – Try to mould your services/products to reach out to a maximum number of users. India offers tremendous opportunities and is growing at a very fast rate. On the other hand Internet is a cost effective tool to reach out to every corner of the world. From the beginning we had a strong belief in India's growth story and the potential the Internet holds. There are millions of MSMEs in India which are the true engines of growth. They don't spend the money on TV, print or outdoor advertising. So we combined the need of these MSMEs with the power of internet which is very affordable and effective.
Different people need different things and approaches. Understanding the needs and offering different solutions is one of the keys to win and retain customers. Get involved and go to the core of the problem to offer the most suitable solution to your customer. At IndiaMART we work on two dimensions; what a supplier wants and what a buyer wants. We have come up with numerous solutions to address the needs of both suppliers and buyers. As a new service now we are giving suppliers the chance to pick and choose their buyers. Conventionally only the buyer had the power to choose a supplier but we have come up with this alternate solutions where, based on the need of the buyer, a supplier can also choose his buyer. This method is very effective as it brings serious buyers and suppliers together and save time and money. We also list CRISIL verified suppliers to ensure authenticity via our Trust Seal program.
Knowledge sharing – In today's world sharing of knowledge is one of the most important factors to build a relationship with customers. A customer will only be satisfied when he has all the information about the product/service and sees value that fits his needs. Sharing also generate trust which is vital for long term relationship. At IndiaMART we are constantly in touch with our customers and offer various services and E-stats to keep customers updated. Again the goal here is to meet the requirements of the customer which ultimately translates in to business.
Believe in domestic consumption while looking for global expansion – Coming back to India story; India is mainly a domestic consumption economy where most of products and services cater to domestic demands. With the future growth, this consumption will only go upwards. It world be wise to focus on and develop the business keeping in mind the domestic demand. Having said so, one should always keep looking for off shore opportunities as they can provide more exposure, learning and business, Participating in various trade fairs and consistently pitching your products to a wide number of customers always helps. Balancing domestic and international business is the key and can very between different sectors. Have a thorough study done for your business and decide accordingly.
Use of technology – Always keep an eye on technology advancements and keep updating. Technology is going mobile. Now everything is available on mobile phones. It improves the efficiency and reduces the cost and time as most of the tasks can be performed anytime and from anywhere. Though internet will always remain strong, mobile penetration offers new opportunities to promote your business. Now applications are available for almost every service and transactions are possible through SMS. For many players language is a big barrier to communicate with potential customers. While English remains the main language for internet and business transactions, most of the day to day business still happens in local language. Technology can help cross this barrier. Be among the firsts to harness the benefits of technology.
Continuous expansion – Growth is the lifeline of any business. Businesses which are not growing cannot survive in long term. Be ambitious, set new targets and always look for opportunities to expend and add new features in your portfolio as it helps find new customers and retain old ones. At IndiaMART, we have grown at the rate of 50% (CAGR) for last to years. In last one and half years we have increased our workforce from 1500 to 4000. We are now ready to support 5 million MSMEs across the board and become a $100 million company in next 3 years.
All the above mentioned factors have helped IndiaMART reach where it is now. We believe MSMEs don't need cost cutting as much as they need more business. By constantly focusing on value and upgrading the service to boost business, one can surely achieve desired results.

The Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived will be maintained at is current level of €3.5 billion for the 2014-2020 years, under an informal agreement concluded by the European Parliament and governments on November 28, 2013. The Fund will be fully operational as of January 1, 2014.
Representing a central plank for the socialists and President François Hollande, the new program for2014-2020––initially proposed to be curbed at €2.5 billion by member states––is intended to replace the current program of food aid designed to use up food surpluses produced under the Common Agricultural Policy. As a result, the European Program of Food Aid for the Most Deprived (PEAD) will be replaced in January 2014 by the Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived (FEAD), which will be administered by European social policies, whereas the PEAD was managed in the framework of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP)1.
If charitable organizations can be grateful by the continued allocation for the next seven years, allowing food aid to be managed by social policies runs the risks of slashing its agricultural scope, although food security and agriculture go hand in hand.
Even if food aid remains the gateway to all social inclusion actions, the change occurring in the European Union differs from the decisions made by some of the world's major economic and agricultural powers, such as the United States. In fact, the U.S. is continuing to expand the resources assigned to domestic food aid programs (over 79 percent between 2005 and 2010) that assist not only the most deprived in a proven context of economic crisis, but also American agriculture, since 95 percent of all consumed goods are produced domestically.
In addition, the amounts allocated to food aid cannot be compared: $94 billion (€70.5 billion) in the United States against €808 million in the E.U. for 2012, that is to say €1.09 per year and per person in the European Union against €387 for the United States.
Agricultural production, sustainable development and social progress are joining to cooperate in the highly strategic and specific nature of European agriculture. By dismantling the functions linked to agriculture, we are moving away from the positive effect that could be generated by designing programs based on an approach similar to that of the United States.
Lastly, as called for by the French charities Les Restos du Coeur, the Red Cross and the Secours Populaire, "Now more than ever, as we face worldwide food challenges, Europe must adopt a bold agricultural policy that maintains market regulation tools […] and which does not forget those suffering from malnutrition in Europe!" Consumer protection, public health and socio-economic cohesion are unique CAP values. Let us hope that the European cohesion policy administering the FEAD can also safeguard the food security of over 13 million Europeans in need.
1 The FEAD's scope will be expanded to include "basic material assistance" and also "social inclusion measures". Food stored in intervention reserves will continue to be used.

Home > Leadership	> Apple and RCA: A Tale of Two Companies
Apple and RCA: A Tale of Two Companies
September 9, 2011 Fatuzzo Books	Leave a comment Go to comments
Once upon a time, companies developed strategic plans, in some loose fashion inspired by the strategic plans of the military. These corporate strategies commonly were reviewed only once every year because change usually occurred at a very slow pace, and gradual change is very seldom disruptive. In this peaceful time, certain practices became the norm and accepted as the standard for good management, including things such as:
New product definition based totally on market research
Extreme delegation to subordinates/teams for prioritizing/implementing programs
Decisions through consensus
The general idea seemed to be that a dull, predictable company would be a good, successful company. However, once in a while there was disruptive change, like a recession. In such unsettled times, many of the dull but successful companies disappeared. That was to be expected according to "case studies" that looked at these failures after-the-fact. The reasons given for failure generally boiled down to "the rules of good management were not followed".
But there were outliers or rebels – very successful companies where the "rules of good management" were not followed at all, at least for significant periods in their lifetimes. Two such companies, separated in time by almost a century, are RCA and Apple. What made them so successful in the face of disruptive environments?
Let's start with today's company first: Apple. A recent article claims that Apple's amazing success in our recessionary times is due to putting their customers first instead of profit ("Jobs made Apple great by ignoring profit" by C. Christensen and J. Allworth, Reuters, Aug 29, 2011). Well, it's not that simple. It seems to us that Steve Jobs, with his visionary leadership, unconventional management approach, and strong personality is the fundamental reason.
How did Steve Jobs lead/drive Apple to create not just revolutionary new products but entire new markets during times of economic chaos? It was NOT by blindly relying on marketing research. Instead, Jobs blazed a new trail of disruptive products and radical marketing approaches based on his convictions about customers' unmet DESIRES, not needs. From these convictions, he developed his own innovative product/platform ideas and then drove Apple mercilessly to commercialize them. He did this by dictating to the engineers what to invent and, at times, even how to engineer the products. Jobs made all of the key decisions and was blunt and painfully direct in communicating them to his employees. Yes, he was a dictator and he wasn't always right, yet most of his people respected, "loved", and followed him. Steve Jobs ignored many of the "sacred" practices of "good" business management and yet Apple has prospered far beyond expectations in our difficult economic times.
Next we turn back the clock to the first half of the 20th century and focus on RCA (Radio Corporation of America), the then great (but now defunct) electronic company. In its time, RCA was a large and vibrant manufacturing company whose world-class laboratories invented many disruptive new technologies. And the company used these radical innovations to reach great heights of success. With its revolutionary radio and television products, RCA created an entire new industry – consumer electronics. Innovation clearly was the driving force and the key to success. However we are not talking about unbridled innovation. As in the case of Apple, RCA also had a powerful and visionary leader – David Sarnoff.
It was the clearly articulated "visions" of Sarnoff that started RCA on its quest to create the future. Sarnoff passionately believed in the revolutionary potential of three not-yet-invented products for markets that didn't exist at the time: commercial radio, black-and-white television, and color television. There was essentially no market research to support these product concepts, and the technologies needed did not exist. But that didn't faze Sarnoff. He told his laboratories directly what specific product was to be invented. He did not specify how to design it, but he did dictate exactly what the final product had to do for the customer. None of these directives were questioned by the organization. After all, times were different then; and Sarnoff was the President.
To say it another way, in the early days of RCA, David Sarnoff made most key decisions with only minimal input from his organization or management team. He alone decided the direction of the company and which programs would be funded. This visionary leadership approach led to great successes for a while – when RCA was the primary developer of the disruptive technologies and when management missteps and program inefficiencies were not important because there was no meaningful competition.
For RCA, the future is today and RCA is no more. What happened? Well, David Sarnoff did have a vision for another disruptive product – the video recorder. And he communicated this vision to his company just before he retired. But then, new leadership that "followed the rules" took over, and RCA became a different and more traditional company. Many management "mistakes" were made (no clear direction, unwise financial investments, poor technology choices, etc.) leading to disaster and eventual death of the company. In the words of A.D. Chandler Jr.: "If RCA had resisted the lure of the computer and avoided the curse of the conglomerate, if it had continued to concentrate, as did its Japanese competitors, on the consumer electronics market, the one that it knew best, then it might have remained the industry's path definer." ("Inventing the Electronic Century", 2001, p 49).
And what about Apple, where the future is tomorrow? Did Steve Jobs communicate a new disruptive product vision to his company before stepping down? Will his successor, Tim Cook, be able to preserve the culture and "technology user" focus created by Jobs? Will Cook be more of a traditional CEO or a charismatic leader? Will Apple become a more "traditional" company or will it remain a rebel and industry leader? Can Apple continue on its amazing growth track?
Through hindsight and history, we answered the question about what happened to RCA. But there are no sure answers to our questions about Apple. However, the sagas of these two "rebel" companies provide some important insights.
What is the key to the extreme success of a rebel company in disruptive times? It is NOT corporate structure or the experience of the management team or the strict discipline of the employees. Instead, it is the creativity, visionary leadership, and powerful personality of a few key individuals. These are individuals that are not bound by tradition and thus are able to rapidly adapt to a changing environment. They have passionate beliefs, are focused on their goals, and take pride of being the best in their industry or maybe even the best in the world. And they are dedicated to their company and their organization. These individuals are what we call "Dynamic Business Leaders" and they are shaping our future.

Q: How to measure how many tokens between specific types - NLTK / Python3.x So I'm interested in seeing if there is any way to measure how many tokens apart are particular types I'm interested in. For example, this is part of the text I am working with and the marked types are the ones I am interested in measuring in two ways:
a)how many tokens in average are there between all of them? (Manually, I can calculate it 0+18+12=30/3= 10)
b)how many tokens are exactly between Abuser and the first Social-Media, for instance. (Manually I can count them and see that there are 18)

... die ihre Abuser out-callen und teils sogar exposen mit Fotos aber nicht nur was die TäterInnen angeht auch was Hilfsangebote angeht scheint Social-Media immer wichtiger zu werden Es gibt zum Beispiel ein Handzeichen dass auf Social-Media viel geteilt wurde...

As you can probably tell, I'm not that experienced (yet) with Python/NLTK but I'm trying my best, so any answers/help is greately appreciated.
I have all of the types I want to measure already as a list, but I just can't get to answering how to 'measure' things how I want to.
Thank you all for your time in answering this! :)
