Conan O'Brien is a VERY funny man.
You can see him on his YouTube channel, and you can listen to his "Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend" podcast.
One of the things I enjoy most about his podcasts is how often he mentions that he is Irish. I think it's in pretty much every episode!
And just to prove how Irish he is, you can watch an absolutely hilarious visit he made to the Guinness Brewery in Dublin.
His reaction to being told that there are "six steps to pouring a glass on Guinness" is worth the price of admission on its own!
The Fry Model Railway
August 22, 2020 / adminPeter / 0 Comments
Dublin engineer and draughtsman Cyril Fry built a superb collection of more than 300 model trains over a 40 year period from the 1920s. Cyril passed away on 1972 and the collection was subsequently acquired from his widow by Dublin Tourism.
The collection reappeared in 1988 in Malahide Castle. A team lead by retired CIÉ craftsman Thomas (Tom) Tighe had spent 8 years constructing a fabulous O gauge display to complement Cyril Fry's models which were displayed in static exhibits for their own protection and preservation. The model railway had stations from all over Ireland, including Malahide station. So people (like me) going to see the Fry Model Railway were able to see and admire both of these things in Malahide Castle. The model railway was dismantled in 2010 and put into storage.
I mentioned in a previous blog that I was excited to hear that a local farmer, Micheál Gaffney (sometime referred to as Patrick Michael Gaffney) who passed away in 2012, had left €1.5M in his will to Fingal County Council for the renovation of Casino House provided it was used to house the Fry Model Railway. The House was built around 1750 by the Talbot family. What a fantastic idea that was – to reserve the model railway and the cottage and to keep them available for visitors to Malahide.
So the new exhibition (called the Model Railway Museum) finally opened in January of this year, I did not manage to get in to see if before it was closed for COVID, but I did get in to see it with my whole family last weekend. Here is where the bad news begins.
The lady who welcomed us realised that we had seen the railway in its old location. So she started to set our expectations by saying that:
Casino did not have enough space to show the old model railway
The model railway did not cope well with being dismantled and stored
So the bad news is:
There is nothing left to see of Tom Tighe's work
The new working model is very very poor. It uses a very small number of smaller trains (OO gauge) and they have only made models of four different locations. The models themselves are very poor. The model of Malahide is confusing, for example, with parts that look current, parts that look older, and parts that do not represent the actual geography.
The restoration of Casino is disappointing. While it looks very well from the outside, they have retained no vestiges that might speak to the previous character of the interior. The interior is plain and boring.
I think small kids who like trains would still enjoy the model. But for the rest of us I would have preferred to have parts of Tom Tighe's model, even if there were no moving trains.
So if you're thinking of visiting because you have small kids then you may enjoy it. But everyone else can save their money.
Apparently Fingal County Council invested a further €2.8 million into the project on top of Mr Gaffney's contribution. How badly wasted that money was!
To be honest, I can't help thinking that Mr Gaffney is rolling over in his grave to see what Fingal did with his money.
If you have an interest in the Fry Model Railway, then I suggest that you should instead watch this segment from RTE's Late Late show (originally shown on 31 March 1989) where Gay Byrne interviews Tom Tighe and shows some footage of the model railway in Malahide Castle.
Joan Wilson
July 21, 2019 / adminPeter / 0 Comments
They used to say that "behind every great man is a great woman". I think in these PC days we need to replace the word "behind" with "beside".
In any event, beside Gordon Wilson (see my last post) was his wife Joan. And she is obviously a fabulous person too.
Alf McCreary (who wrote the book about Marie with Gordon and later wrote his biography) interviewed Joan to mark the twentieth anniversary of the Enniskillen bomb and the killing of Marie. You can read it here.
She talks about Marie's death, and the subsequent deaths of her son Peter and of Gordon himself.
Like Gordon, she is clearly a deeply religious person.
She says the following of her life since Marie's passing:
"I have been spared by God for these 30 years since Marie's death, and for whatever time I have left I want to make the most of each day – to appreciate the beauty of a flower or the power of the sea and all of nature, and I want to try to bring help and comfort to as many people as I can."
And of Marie she says the following:
I still think of Marie as my bright, rebellious and deeply loving daughter. I know we will meet again some day. I think we both deserve that, and I am convinced that it will happen through the power and strength of God Almighty. That will be a wonderful day for both of us."
I sincerely hope that she is right.
Here is Joan holding a picture of her daughter:

Gordon Wilson: An Ordinary Man
On 8 November 1987 the Provisional IRA detonated a bomb during the Remembrance Day parade in Enniskillen.
Local man Gordon Wilson found himself buried in rubble after the blast. He was holding the hand of his twenty year old Daughter, Marie.
In the video below, you can see an interview which Gordon did with the BBC about these minutes. Even after all of these years, it is extraordinarily moving.
Marie died later in the hospital from her injuries. She was a young nurse with her whole life ahead of her.
Anyone could relate to the love between Gordon and his daughter and to the loss and immense sadness suffered by Gordon and his family.
What sets Gordon apart from other men is some of the other sentiments he expressed, not shown in this video:
But I bear no ill will. I bear no grudge. Dirty sort of talk is not going to bring her back to life. She was a great wee lassie. She loved her profession. She was a pet. She's dead. She's in heaven and we shall meet again. I will pray for these men tonight and every night.
Gordon went on to be a peace campaigner for the rest of his life. He wrote a book about his daughter entitled "Marie: Story from Enniskillen" in 1990. He was a member of Seanad Éireann from 1993 to 1995. He passed away in 1997.
When that day started in 1987 Gordon Wilson seemed like an ordinary man. He was a draper with a wife and three children, and just a few years older than I am now. The events of that day and the remainder of his life showed that nothing could be further from the truth.
In 1996 Alf McGreary (who wrote the book on Marie with Gordon) wrote a biography of Gorden entitled "Gordon Wilson: An Ordinary hero". I think that is an excellent title.
I have never forgotten the things which Gordon said. I think that the things the he said and did were a turning point in The Troubles.
Eleven people died that day, including three married couples. A twelfth died after spending 13 years in a coma.
Some of us imagined that we would never see another atrocity like that again, especially after the way Gordon spoke and the public reaction to what he said. But on 15 August 1998 (after the Good Friday Agreement) a group calling themselves the Real Irish Republican Army set off a bomb in Omagh killing 29 people, including a pregnant woman. This was the worst single bombing of the Troubles, in terms of civilian lives lost. But it also one of the last, and the last to claim multiple victims.
Northern Ireland – Every Cloud…
On the 9th of January 2017 the Northern Ireland Assembly was suspended. That means that there has been no local government in Northern Ireland for over 2 years. This is a disgraceful betrayal of the Good Friday Agreement.
In an attempt, I assume, to put pressure on those involved to restore the local government, an announcement was made in September of last year that the £49,500 salaries of Northern Ireland Assembly members was to be cut by almost £14,000, starting with a £7,425 reduction in November and a further £6,187 cut three months later.
But there was no movement.
The major low point of the strife caused by the political vacuum was when journalist Lyra McKee was shot dead on 18 April 2019 while observing rioting in the Creggan area of Derry. A completely senseless waste of a young life.
Lyra's funeral was attended by politicians from North and South.
Catholic priest Father Martin Magill received a standing ovation at the funeral service when he said the following: ""Why in God's name does it take the death of a 29-year-old woman with her whole life in front of her to get to this point?"
I guess the more naive among is thought that things might start to move at this point. But they did not.
So the latest thing to happen in the absence of local government in NI is that the UK Government has decided to bring NI into line with the rest of the UK in terms of laws relating to both abortion and same sex marriage. The deadline to get the assembly and executive up and running again is October 21st.
Experts like Susan McKay tell us that this won't happen, so it looks as if the new laws will come into effect in the new year. So for me this is the "silver lining" in the shameful fact that the assembly has been out of action for 2.5 years.
Lyra had wanted to marry her partner, Sara Canning. Sara describes it as "bittersweet" that same sex marriage seems to be coming to NI but Lyra won't be there to see it.
Here is a video of Lyra speaking very eloquently in 2017 about LGBT issues:
Good Friday Agreement – 20 Years On
The Good Friday Agreement was signed in Belfast on 10 April 1998. So it's over 21 years old now.
But last year Pat Kenny had a series of radio programmes on to mark the twentieth anniversary.
I happened to be out in the car for some reason and heard one of them.
It was very good and very moving.
The part I remember most was the interview with Monica McWilliams.
In 1996, Monica co-founded the Northern Ireland Women's Coalition political party and was elected as a delegate at the Multi-Party Peace Negotiations.
She was present at the announcement of the Good Friday agreement and she describes that in a very vivid and moving manner.
The whole recording is available here and her part starts at about 13 mins into the recording.
This photo was taken when some of the main players in the Good Friday agreement assembled last year to mark the anniversary. Monica is on the left in the front row. My personal hero, John Hume, was unfortunately too ill to attend.

2016 – Goodbye and Good Riddance
January 2, 2017 / adminPeter / 0 Comments
I think everyone is pretty glad to see the back of 2016.
This was the year when we lost David Bowie, Alan Rickman and Glenn Frey at the start, Prince in the middle, and Leonard Cohen towards the end, and George Michael (on Christmas Day no less) and Carrie Fisher at the end. Along with many, many, others.
And incredible to see Carrie Fisher's mother, Debbie Reynolds, pass away the day after she did.
Civil War continues in Syria with reports that 450K Syrians have been killed in the fighting and almost 3 million refugees have fled the country.
Terrorist attacks linked to ISIL have continued throughout the year. The first in January in Libya claimed 60 lives. The last in December in Germany claimed 12. There were multiple attacks in Germany, France, Belgium and the USA. The worst incident was in Iraq with over 300 killed. Over 1,400 died in total.
From Ireland's perspective, there were unfortunate public votes from our nearest neighbours on either side. In a June referendum the UK decided to leave the EU (well, to be more specific, England and Wales did and Scotland and Northern Ireland seem to have no choice but to go along with them). Among many other possible implications, this raises the possibility of a border being re-instituted between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. And in November, the citizens of the USA decided that Donald Trump would be their next president. The impact of this decision on Ireland and the rest of the world remains to be seen. He will take up the office on the 20th.
So goodbye 2016, and don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Songs about the 1916 Rising
April 3, 2016 / adminPeter / 0 Comments
I want to mention two beautiful songs which commemorate the 1916 rising.
The first is "Grace". This version is performed by The Dubliners".
The song remembers Grace Gifford who married Joseph Plunkett in Kilmainham Goal a few hours before he was executed. I learned on the walking tour a few weeks ago that they only had 10 minutes together after the marriage, in a small cell filled with soldiers. More details are available here and here.
This sad and beautiful song has been playing in my head for the last week.
The second is "The Foggy Dew". This version is by Sinead O'Connor and the Chieftains and is from the latter's fabulous album "The Long Black Veil".
Executed Leaders of the 1916 Rising
In my past post I named the 7 men who signed the signed the Proclamation of the Irish Republic and who were executed for their roles in the 1916 rising.
The following men did not sign the Proclamation but were also executed:
4th May 1916 Edward Daly Limerick 1891
4th May 1916 Michael O'Hanrahan Wexford 1877
4th May 1916 William Pearse Dublin 1881
5th May 1916 John MacBride Mayo 1865
8th May 1916 Con Colbert Limerick 1888
8th May 1916 Michael Mallin Dublin 1874
8th May 1916 Seán Heuston Dublin 1891
9th May 1916 Thomas Kent Castlelyons, Co. Cork 1865
3rd August 1916 Roger Casement Dublin 1864
All of these men were executed in Kilmainham Gaol with the exception of Thomas Kent (killed in Cork Detention Barracks) and Roger Casement (killed in Pentonville Gaol in London). The picture below shows president Michael D. Higgins laying a wreath in the Stonebreakers' Yard last Sunday to commemorate the centenary of the Rising.

Q: Select statement with "where in" returns more rows than subquery Today we discovered some strange behavior with SQL Server 2012 SP1. We know how to recreate the problem, but we're not sure what's causing it. Here's a very generalized example:

Suppose you have a database, test, that has a table, table1, with the following data:
column1
-
1
2
3
4

You run the following query:
USE [test]

SELECT [column1]
FROM [test].[dbo].[table1]
WHERE [column1] IN
(SELECT TOP 5 [column1]
FROM [table1])

5 rows are returned, just as expected. Now run the following query:
USE [test]

SELECT [column1]
FROM [test].[dbo].[table1]
WHERE [column1] IN
(SELECT TOP 5 [test].[dbo].[table1].[column1]
FROM [table1])

10 rows are returned this time, even though SELECT TOP 5 [test].[dbo].[table1].[column1] FROM [table1] returns 5 rows.

Looking at the execution plan, I can tell that the sever is doing something different, but I can't tell why.
The solution seems to be to make sure we aren't being overly explicit without cause, but now that we've run into in, we want to make sure no one causes this behavior again.

A: Well the context of the query is what makes the difference.
In the following query, the second select statement is actually selecting a column from the first table.
SELECT [column1]
FROM [test].[dbo].[table1]
WHERE [column1] IN
(SELECT TOP 5 [test].[dbo].[table1].[column1]
FROM [table1])

If you give the table an alias you will notice different results:
SELECT [column1]
FROM [test].[dbo].[table1] table1A
WHERE [column1] IN
(SELECT TOP 5 [test].[dbo].[table1].[column1]
FROM [table1])

Also when you run the query SELECT TOP 5 [test].[dbo].[table1].[column1] FROM [table1] on its own, there is no confusion about which table you are selecting from.
Your query is equivalent to:
Select column1 from table1
where column1 in
(select column1)

As long as the other table returns rows, the value you are selecting is always going to be equal to itself in the subquery.
Its pretty much like saying
Give me everyting in the set where a column value equals itself when added to another set. As long as the other set is not empty, the column value will always equal itself.

Tory MP accuses government of overseeing 'spiv Robert Mugabe antics' to keep Britain in EU
Ben Riley-Smith, Political Correspondent
11 April 2016 • 8:07pm
Ben Riley-Smith
David Cameron has been accused of overseeing "spiv Robert Mugabe antics" to win the EU referendum by a Tory MP in a remarkable attack over pro-EU leaflets being sent to all voters.
Nigel Evans, a former Tory vice-chairman, compared the government's attempts to keep Britain in the EU to the Zimbabwean dictator's efforts to cling onto power.
It triggered a reprimand from David Lidington, the Europe minister, who said making comparisons to campaigns that have seen "murder, maiming and intimidation" of voters was not the MP's "finest hour".
The heated exchange marked a new low for 'blue-on-blue' attacks over Europe and will increase fears the party's civil war will intensify as voting day approaches.
It came as MPs gathered in Parliament for the first time since the government revealed it would be sending out a pro-EU leaflet to some 27 million households outlining the "facts" of the debate.
The 16-page brochure has been justified by Mr Cameron as explaining the government's decision to back staying in the EU.

However the use of £9.3 million of taxpayers' money to issue a leaflet which details messages similar to those of the In campaign has triggered fury from those backing Brexit.
Nigel Evans, a former Tory vice-chairman who spends time observing elections around the world, produced the most vicious attack of the debate.
He said: "If I witnessed in any of the countries that I go to the sort of spiv Robert Mugabe antics that I've seen by this government then I would condemn the conduct of that election as being not fair."
Mr Lidington responded: "I think that when my Right Honourable friend reflects on what he's just said and that the election campaigns in Zimbabwe in the recent past have involved the murder, maiming and intimidation of voters he might recognise that what he's just said was not his finest moment in the House."
Earlier in the debate a string of Tory backbenchers widened out their criticism over the issue to call into question the honesty of the government.
Liam Fox, the former defence secretary who served under Mr Cameron, dubbed the leaflet a "dodgy dossier" and said that it contained not facts but "opinions, assertion and suppositions".
He warned it "betrayed any sense of fairness in the process in the referendum" and accused the government of having "abdicated its responsibility to tell the truth".
Crispin Blunt, a former Tory whip, said that the leaflet would do "damage to the government's reputation for straight-dealing on this issue" and would backfire.
John Redwood, the former Welsh Secretary, called the pro-EU material an "abuse of public money" and an "insult to the electorate" that will inadvertently encourage people to vote to leave the EU.
Other Tory MPs dubbed the leaflet a "crass" and "deeply unfair" piece of campaign material that should be treated by voters with a "heavy health warning".
However pro-EU Conservatives returned jibes over the ferocity of interventions from their colleagues who are calling for Brexit.
Sir Nicholas Soames, the Tory MP and grandson of Sir Winston Churchill, said that "outside this incestuous hothouse of the Palace of Westminster" voters understood the government should tell people where it stands.
He added that "almost all grown-up sane opinion would want to know what the government's position is" on the EU referendum.
Ken Clarke, the pro-EU former chancellor, said it was an "absurdity" to criticise the government over the leaflet and accused Tory Eurosceptics as seeing the referendum as "some sporting jape".
Mr Lidington said that research suggested most voters wanted to know where the government stood on the question of Britain's membership of the EU.
He insisted ministers had "acted reasonably and responsibly" in sending out the leaflet and that the wording was "extremely sober" and not "over-egging the pudding".
He also dismissed claims over the cost to the taxpayer of the leaflet by saying it worked out at just 34p per household and noted the Out campaign will also be given a free mailshot.

Belgium player involved in the strangest yellow card incident you'll see this season
March 27, 2017 3240 views
Belgium may have one of the most talented squads in world football, but they were frustrated by Greece on Saturday night.
The World Cup qualifier finished 1-1 and Roberto Martinez's side needed a late goal from Romelu Lukaku to rescue a point at home. Kostas Mitroglou gave Greece the lead just after half-time in a fiery game.
There were 34 fouls, eight yellow cards and two red cards, with Greek players Panagiotis Tachtsidis and Giorgos Tzavellas receiving their marching orders in the second half.
The strangest incident in the game came after 60 minutes, when Belgium forward Dries Mertens decided to pinch Tzavellas' nose for some reason.
The pair exchanged words and naturally Mertens thought the best way to deal with his opponent was by scratching his nose. The Napoli player was booked for it.
It's staggering to think that both of these incidents were given the same punishment.
Gareth Bale got a yellow card for a disgusting lunge on John O'Shea during Wales' game against the Republic of Ireland on Friday, and Mertens the same punishment for grabbing an opponent's nose.

Choosing life insurance can be tricky – especially if you haven't purchased it before. There are various types of policies and you need to know several things before you purchase a policy that best fits your needs – "such as how much insurance you need and how much premium can you afford to pay." Here are a few things you should know before you invest in life insurance.
Reviewing your needs and deciding how much coverage you need and can afford is the first step toward investing in life insurance. Factors affecting this are your family income and number of dependents in your family. The coverage you choose should be able to provide your family with financial security in the event of your untimely death. Make sure you can pay the monthly premiums and whether you can afford to pay them in case they increase over time for some reason. Most Americans think a policy four times their income is sufficient, but the truth is your policy should be at least ten times your income to pay for your medical and funeral expenses, college and school fees, car loans, mortgage, and taxes. Typically, the policy should last till your retirement fund sets in or your children are done with college and no longer depend on you.
There are various types of life insurance policies that can help you define your financial strategy in case of an emergency. They offer different features such as cash value that's cumulative in nature and grows over time.
Term life insurance: As the name suggests, term life insurance is insurance for a specified length of time, referred to as a 'term.' The coverage for term life is usually either 10, 20, or 30 years. The premium for term life policies is considerably lower than the other kinds, but it offers no cash value. It's said to be the most affordable form of coverage for people who wish to invest in life insurance.
Whole life: The premiums in this type of insurance don't change and stay the same with time. The final death benefit in this case gives you a good return on your cash value.
Universal life: This insurance gives you the option of choosing variable premiums. A minimum death benefit is guaranteed, if the premium amount you have chosen is sufficient enough to cover it.
Variable life: The cash value and death benefit for variable life is subject to change depending upon your investments and financial assets.
Variable universal life: Another option which allows you to set variable monthly premiums. It allows you to allocate these premiums depending on your investment portfolio.
Permanent life insurance offers more security, but can be very expensive, whereas term life, which is very affordable as compared to permanent, is only for a specified time, with the coverage ending at the end of the term.
Assess your current policy to see if it needs to be upgraded. You may want to consider how and whether the rising cost of living due to inflation has altered your needs. If your family size has increased such as a spouse or the arrival of a baby, you may need more insurance. If you wish to renew your current policy, understand that premiums may be higher than what you were paying previously.
The younger you are, the healthier you are, which can substantially lower your premiums. But that should not dissuade you from buying a policy if you aren't as young. Having a pre-existing medical condition or being advanced in age doesn't mean your premiums will be unaffordable. You just need to shop around for the best policy or have a word with an agent who can guide you in the right direction.
Buying life insurance can be intimidating to some people, but don't procrastinate and delay it any further. Getting quotes off the Internet is easy, and if it seems confusing, don't hesitate to seek advice from an insurance agent. Insurance is one of the greatest financial assets you can have for your family's future, so ensure you provide them with the best in the event of your absence!

Q: Quit function for python 2 I'm following a tutorial in python 3 but using python 2. In the tutorial the following code is used:
button2 = ttk.Button(self, text="Disagree", command = quit)

When I run the code I get the error:
NameError: global name 'quit' is not defined

Is there an equivalent function I could use in python 2? I tried sys.exit() but that froze the tkinter window rather than just closing it out.

A: Tkinter wants root.quit(). (root is the root Tkinter object)

Last Update December 23, 2015
Military Commission to Review List of Charges Against 9/11 Suspects
By | Fox News
FILE: Photo from an Arabic language Web site shows a man identified as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in detention at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. (AP)
For the second time, U.S. prosecutors have filed charges with a military commission against the five suspects held in Guantanamo Bay in connection with planning the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
This is the first step paving the way for an arraignment.
The body that oversees the commissions will make a decision on whether to accept the charges. If accepted, the arraignment must take place within 30 days. That will essentially begin the trial process, though pre-trial motions could take as long as a year.
As the lengthy legal process unfolds, two sources familiar with the case add that with the month of Ramadan falling on Aug. 1-30 this year, it may not be possible to arraign the men before the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
The families of the Sept. 11 victims were informed in an email sent over the weekend that the military commission will receive the charges as early as Tuesday.
According to the email, and later confirmed by the Defense Department, all five defendants face eight charges in common. They are: conspiracy, murder in violation of the law of war, attacking civilians, attacking civilian objects, intentionally causing serious bodily injury, destruction of property in violation of the law of war, hijacking aircraft and terrorism.
The conspiracy charges includes 167 overt acts that allegedly furthered the Sept. 11 attacks.
The Defense Department said the charges be referred as "capital charges" meaning the men will be eligible for the death penalty.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Bin Attash, Ramzi Binalshibh, Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, and Mustafa al Hawsawi will all have right to counsel in their cases. The Defense Department said that the filings are also go beyond satisfying detention rules under the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force, "as informed by the laws of war -- an issue that each Guantanamo detainee may challenge in a habeas petition in federal court."
The men were first charged in February 2008, but the charges were withdrawn the following year when the Obama administration said the suspects would be tried in New York City. That decision was reversed in April.
Fox News' Catherine Herridge contributed to this report.


The Coimbatore Corporation has been ranked 14 and Vellore and Salem corporations have been ranked 32 and 35 respectively.
CHENNAI: The Greater Chennai Corporation has been ranked 37 among the 87 smart cities as per the recent ranking list released by the Union ministry of housing and urban development.
Nagpur with 259.9 and Vadodara with 195.31 have topped the list. Officials said that since the third was released late, 12 smart cities were not included in this list.
Chennai's score is 31.46 while Coimbatore has scored 82.26.
When contacted, officials in the ministry said this ranking was based on the expenditure, project implementation and performance in the last four years. The progress of various smart cities was assessed.
"Every month whenever a proposal is created, project sanctioned or tenders called, we are supposed to update on a ministry website. A private company has been entrusted with updation of the progress and marking each corporation," said an official.
The Coimbatore Corporation has completed six projects and called for tenders for seven others. But the Chennai Corporation has implemented just two projects - Namma Chennai application and 28 smart classes.
The officials said they had called tenders for 20 other projects and started preparing a detailed project report for various projects. Out of Rs 1,500 crore, only Rs 10 crore had been spent on projects thus far, they said.
Tamil Nadu has been one of the poor performers in the project since its inception. According to a recent Rajya Sabha report, the state has spent only 1% of the total funds.
Deputy commissioner (works) Govinda Rao said the ranking was based on the fund utilised and projects awarded. "We have brought many projects to execution stages over the last one year and we will expedite further during the current year," he said.


Knoco stories: What is a Lesson Learned?
I have been thinking a lot recently about "what is a lesson learned", largely in the context of our company offering on lesson-learning and our recent development of lessons management software (for more on lesson learning, see my book).
There's a lot of fuzziness about the topic, and this can really hamper the delivery of value through lessons identification, sharing and re-use. Let's start with the question - "What is a lesson learned". Here are a few definitions, many taken from the web, many of them (as we will see) flawed.
"A Lesson Learned is knowledge or understanding gained by experience that has a significant impact for an organisation. The experience may be either positive or negative. Successes are also sources of Lessons Learned. Lessons Learned Systems tend to be more organisation-specific than Alert Systems".
"A Lesson Learned documents the experience gained during a project. These lessons come from working with or solving real-world problems. Collecting and disseminating lessons learned helps to eliminate the occurrence of the same problems in future projects".
"a potential mode of failure (a risk) and the possible actions to mitigate that risk".
A lesson learned is an experience or outcome of a particular course of action -- either positive or negative -- that is important enough to be communicated to one's peers.
"The knowledge acquired from an innovation or an adverse experience that causes a worker or an organization to improve a process or activity to work safer, more efficiently, or with higher quality"
We can conclude from this that lessons are knowledge, and that they come from experience, and that they can help, or impact, the work of others. But does that make them "Learned"?
There is a very valuable distinction to be made between Lesson Learned and Lessons Identified, and anyone who has worked in this field for a while will have met companies which keep identifying the same lesson over and over, but never learning it (see excellent picture above). I would suggest that many of the definitions above are for Lessons Identified rather than Lessons Learned. Look at the language in the definitions; "collecting and disseminating lessons learned helps" - yes, disseminating lessons may help, but what about applying them? "Important enough to be communicated to one's peers" - what about "important enough to be re-applied by one's peers"?
Let's look at the steps a lesson has to go through before it can be considered to be "Learned".
1. Reflect on Experience. Think back (and discuss as a team)what happened.
2. Identify learning points. Where was there a difference between what was planned, and what actually happened? Either a positive or a negative difference.
4. Generalise. What is the learning point? What should be done in future activity to avoid the pitfall, or repeat the success? At this stage we have a Lesson Identified. It will be a useful lesson, if others can learn from it, and for others to learn from it, it needs to be instructional.
At this stage, let me have a short digression on "What makes a good Lesson". We tend to use the phrase "Specific Actionable Recommendation to describe a good lesson.
A lesson needs to be specific enough that you can learn from it. Let's have none of the "Well, Duh!" lessons, please. I read a Lesson last week that said "To do X properly will require time, resources and effort". Well, Duh! And there was me, thinking it could be done in no time, with no resources or effort!
It needs to be actionable - people need to be able to take action. So none of the woolly waffles such as "A better system for Y needs to be in place". How Better? What sort of Better? What elements need to be Better? Who needs to put it in place?
Finally it needs to be a recommendation, rather than an observation. I went through some documents recently which were purported to be lessons learned documents from an absolutely crucial project, and half of the "lessons" were observations. They had not got past step 2 above. They were statements such as "The team encountered great difficulty in Z, blah blah". Well, why did they encounter difficulty? What was the root cause behind that diffIculty? And what would their recommendation be for other teams, to avoid that difficulty? There has been no analysis, so there can be no specific actionable recommendation.
My conclusion is that a Lesson Identified needs to be "A recommendation, based on analysed experience, from which others can learn in order to improve their performance". We are still not at a "Lesson Learned" as there needs to be one more step - step 5.
5. Take action. As I explained here, a lesson needs to be accompanied by an action if it is to be considered Learned. A document, a procedure, a policy, a structure, a budget, or an order, needs to be changed. Then this change needs to be communicated, so working practices can be changed as a result. If nothing changes, nothing has been learned.
So I would like to propose this definition. A Lesson Learned, is a change in personal or operational behaviour as a result of experience. Ideally this will be a permanent, institutionalised change, but we know that lessons can be unlearned as well as learned, so I will leave the work "institutionalised" out of the definition for the moment.
WOW ! I do agree with most insights.
My Doctorial research (now in progress) is on Learning from lessons and from experience.
a. Lessons may be recomendations- not only yes / no's.
b. Experience is also a source. I speak about lessons as the results of active debriefing, and experiences, as drived by experiencing (by doing the job, also if no active session took place).
c. Learning indeed is not guaranteed. It requires change in behavior/ performance.That is why a full life cycle of handling the lessons is the right way to achieve the shift in performance, i.e. in order to turn the lesson into a lesson learned.
Hi Nick and Moria, I am with you both.
Just found this post. I plan on continuing the research here.
Generally because nothing changes as a result of the "lesson". They have not taken step 5 above. The lesson is too often just documented and stored, and nothing changes.
See my book "the lessons learned handbook" for a full exposition.
I would very much appreciate seeing a copy of your dissertaion, if it is finiahsed!
I would like to add to Nicks response. Nalin's question.. "Why do organizations CONSISTENTLY fail to learn the lesson?" Two other contributing factors in my opinion are attitude and culture. Organizations based in certain parts of the world "where majority of individuals or employees have a certain cultural orientation and attitude to work" are capable of learning the lessons much easier and faster than others elsewhere. This definitely can be a good area to research on... "the contribution of culture and attitude to learning the lesson.. or?.." Documenting and storing in most cases is a well thought strategy.
Nalin, is your dissertation now available?
Nalin, I am working in this area as well. I think that one reason that some organisations are slow to or maybe unable to change is because they lack a strong enough catalyst or driver to change. In the book I am collaborating on at the moment, I have noted that two of the biggest drivers of change are 'blood and treasure'. If an organisation or an individual is hurting them they are far more motivated to change. A number of large corporates probably fall into this category.
I don't agree with your definition but your discussion getting to that point was really useful. I think that you are artificially constraining the process in proposing a definition that is limited to "...change in personal or operational behaviour...". I think that you were closer to the mark in your paragraph 5 where you include a broader range of change. Surely a lesson can be implemented by changing, for example, an item of equipment which, while still being a change, might actually reinforce current/extant behaviours that might have been adversely affected e.g. work-arounds, etc by equipment that was in some way unsuitable for the task at hand?
I agree Simon, you are right that in fact ANY change driven by experience is a lesson learned. That lesson can be embedded in many forms - behaviour, process, structure, equipment etc etc.
Stumbled across this blog which expresses exactly what i have been trying to say for a while - so thank you! And I absolutely agree with the definition. I got a bit frustrated when reflection processes in one organisation i worked with kept identifying the same "lessons learned". For example, the truism that working in partnership requires good communication. I wasn't very popular when I pointed out that this is a lesson that has already been widely identified but that the team had failed to learn.
I agree totally with the article.But in the real world there are givens, assumptions etc that we work with each and every day. We assume that the effort will have adequate/sufficient communications, resources, budget, time... The reality is that more often than not especially in the area of dedicated resources this is not the case, something occurs and our originally dedicated resource for a specified amount of time is not so dedicated. Regarding the communication aspect, it may not a lack of communication it might well be misguided communication, i.e., the right communication targeted to the wrong audience. I've seen it a thousand times as we progress through the process we touch base to address/document lessons learned. Basically everything that appears on the white board could very well apply to most projects. It is really of matter of learning the lessons, institutionalizing the learnings, but all too often most organizations just move on to 'rediscover' the same lessons learned in subsequent projects.

Here's a little something to watch for on Sunday's "Meet the Press." That is, if NBC executives/producers decide to leave it in the broadcast.
David Gregory probably thought he was doing a good deed by hosting a panel about the one-year anniversary of the Boston bombings. But the fact that he couldn't respect one simple request by a survivor of the attacks demonstrates how truly self-absorbed the "Meet" moderator is…and it's even more reason for NBC to push forward with their reported plans to sack him as host.
You may remember the name Adrianne Haslet-Davis. She's the hugely talented dancer who lost part of one leg in the Boston attacks–and who is still dancing today. Her one caveat in participating in this "Meet the Press" taping was that she did not want to hear the names of the accused bombers mentioned. Despite NBC's promises to respect her wishes, Gregory apparently thought too highly of himself to honor the agreement.
Cannot believe @meetthepress chose to use the bombers name instead of respect their guest. Had to walk off set crying.
Wow. How truly cold and unprofessional. And people wonder why traditional news media is on the outs.
I need to follow up on what I expressed to the coordinator, the host and the executive producer before I left the studio.
I needn't apologize for leaving you this morning, as you made your decision. I am not one to ask for people to wait on me hand and foot, for people to bend over backwards and leave their own well being to take care of mine…this is not my character nor is it my intent.
But I did specifically ask of two things for this interview, one being that his name (and you know to whom I refer to) not be mentioned in my presence. Your decision to back out on that promise you made and the horrific way you brought that decision to my attention just minutes prior to taping was not only a cowardice move but a dishonorable one as well. To say that I am hurt is an understatement, for you not only disrespected me, you disrespected the survivors of the bombing and the victims memories by blatantly disregarding this request and putting the value of a terrorist's name, who put a city in turmoil and caused irrevocable damage physically and emotionally to people of this city, over Boston's integrity, fortitude, and my personal well being.
My second request you know of, to be referred to as a survivor, not a victim. This one you honored, but I think you forget what a victim truly is defined as. For I will not be a victim, not on anyones level, whether it be from a terrorist, or the press.
Bravo to Haslet-Davis, and shame on NBC. The incident wasn't the first time the network has pulled a stunt like this, and it likely won't be the last. It's so refreshing to hear someone as articulate as Adrianne explain the scenario in such basic but powerful terms. I'm certain it won't change the way NBC and other mainstream outlets do business, but at least they've been forced to come face-to-face with the reality that not everyone thinks the same way they do.
I look forward to seeing what does or doesn't make the final broadcast on Sunday. How about you?

CAMP HOVEY, South Korea - In 1950, when retired Col. Jong-hwan Lee was 17, his countrymen were fleeing Seoul and other northern cities from advancing communist forces.
After spending five days in basic training and firing only five bullets during that training, the young Korean Augmentee to the U.S. Army, Pfc. Lee, was assigned as a cannon crew member to Battery A, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division.
He started as the loader, or the "number one man," on a howitzer and would eventually rise in responsibility to gunner.
"I remember seeing so many artillery rounds at the battle of the Naktong River, and I was one of the ones helping load and fire the artillery," said Lee, through an interpreter.
This week about 200 Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment "Dragon," 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, added to Dragon history by firing the first rounds in Korea since the unit was last here during the Korean War.
"It helps Soldiers connect with the history of the unit and all those who went before them," said Lt. Col. Douglas Hayes, commander, 1st Battalion, 82nd FA. "It's also special when you have Col. Lee visit and talk to troops and tell all of his stories while he was a Korean augmentee with the 82nd Field Artillery during the War."
The Dragon commander has his own personal connection to Korea.
"My grandfather, retired Col. Douglas Hutchens, during the Korean War was a lieutenant," said Hayes. "He was an aerial observer. He liked flying so much that after the war he went to flight school and became a pilot."
On July 18, 1950, the 82nd FA came ashore with 1st Cavalry Division and helped halt the advance of North Korean forces at the Pusan Defensive Line to defend the Korean Peninsula.
Their actions in the defense of the Pusan Line would earn the Dragons the "Republic of Korea Presidential Unit Citation" during the battle at Taegu, South Korea.
Today that history continues on. Much like Lee, Cpl. Tae-young Cho with Battery A, 1st Battalion, 82nd FA, is also becoming a "number one man" on a Howitzer with the 82nd FA.
"It is very awesome," said Cho. "It feels like I'm in our history."

A trip to a city can be memorable in a couple of ways. For instance, you can hire a model, which is one of the most enjoyable things you can ever partake in. There are many advantages of hiring a date for some company during a business meeting or a night of fun as highlighted in the text below.
You will get a companion for every event in mind, be it a party, business meeting, casino game, you name it. Note that she is a professional, meaning that she will not disappoint you in any way because she is trained on how to dress and behave, and what to say to anyone. The fact that you will have a flawlessly attractive woman by your side means that you will create a good impression wherever she is in your presence.
Professional models are persons who are natives of the city. As a result, she can be perfect guide whenever you wish to tour any place in town. Therefore, you can pick a cute model to take you to such a tour instead of hiring a boring professional guide for the task.
If you are ever looking for the best sexual encounter, look no further than a professional companion. A model will take you to paradise and beyond every time you get intimate. In fact, she will be willing to do anything you suggest. Do not worry if your wife or girlfriend is the timid type because you will try out all the wild things you have in mind when you book a companion.
Trying to pick up a girl is often tough for most men due to the complications involved. If you are not the type that does not like playing hard to get games with ladies, you will find professional models to be just perfect. Remember that companions are meant to make your time enjoyable, not torturous with silly mind games. An ordinary girl will put you through a lengthy wait before you get intimate, which is not the case when you book a companion.
A desirable thing about a professional model service is that nobody apart from you will know about your escapade. Your personal and other details will never be divulged by your date or the agency you get her from. Today, it is even possible to pay using bitcoins if you are not comfortable using credit cards or online methods.
There is a large number of girls to choose from when you book a companion from reputable service. It is even possible to filter your results so that you can get a girl who matches perfectly with your dream companion.


But did you know for about $100 you can also get it to do all this?
These are just a few examples from our existing library of software available for the VIC 20.
What those extra few dollars get you is a simple little device called a Commodore VICMODEM. It connects your telephone to your VIC 20 or Commodore 64 computer (resulting in something aptly called telecomputing), giving you access to information such as you see on the screens to your right. Normally, you'd have to type a short program into your computer to help it make the final transition into a telecomputer.
However, when you buy a VICMODEM, you'll find we've included a free software program. You just load it into your Commodore Datasette Recorder and presto (give or take a moment or two), you have access to a vast library of information and games.
Speaking of free, Commodore also includes a free subscription and a free hour's time on CompuServe and Dow Jones News/ Retrieval Service, a free trial offer on The Source, and a discount program offer with Comp-U-Store and General Videotex Corp.
Let's see. Did we leave anything out? Oh, yes. Along with CompuServe comes a free membership in the Commodore Information Network. This is your HOTLINE to Commodore. (How often do you get to speak directly to a manufacturer?) Through it we can answer any questions you might have about your computer, or programming, or anything else Commodore-related, via electronic mail.
The Commodore Information Network is also your direct line to the Commodore Bulletin Board, which Commodore owners use to keep in touch with each other, for programming tips, Public Domain Software, and technical support.
Altogether, these little extras we've included with our VICMODEM add up to a value of $197.50. A nice return on an investment of about $100.
Some computer companies think it's reasonable to ask as much as $500 for telecomputing capabilities such as ours. However, with the Commodore VICMODEM selling for around $100, we feel we're being a whole lot more reasonable. Don't you agree?

Two cases of HIV transmission through breastfeeding in mothers with undetectable viral load reported
Keith Alcorn
Two cases of HIV transmission from mother to infant during the breastfeeding period when mothers had an undetectable viral load have been reported by PROMISE, a large international study of the effectiveness of antiretroviral treatment in preventing vertical HIV transmission.
The findings were presented in a poster at the 22nd International AIDS Conference in Amsterdam in July.
Earlier this year an international group of researchers called for more research to determine if HIV can be transmitted through breast milk even if the breastfeeding mother has an undetectable viral load in blood. Swiss doctors have argued that pregnant women with HIV should be informed of the uncertain evidence about the risk of transmission during breastfeeding, and rather than being prohibited from breastfeeding while taking antiretroviral drugs, should be supported to breastfeed safely through regular viral load testing and education about factors that might increase the risk of transmission, such as mastitis.
The PROMISE study was a large international study conducted in 14 low- and middle-income countries, investigating the effectiveness of maternal antiretroviral therapy in preventing HIV transmission and its impact on maternal health. The study recruited women with CD4 cell counts above 350 cells/mm3 and randomised participants at three time-points: before delivery, after delivery during the breastfeeding period (postpartum), or after breastfeeding was discontinued.
In the postpartum randomisation, 2431 mother-infant pairs were randomised to either maternal antiretroviral therapy or infant prophylaxis with nevirapine during the breastfeeding period, beginning 6-14 days after delivery. All infants in the antiretroviral therapy arm also received daily nevirapine prophylaxis for six weeks after delivery, as recommended in World Health Organization guidelines. Mothers randomised to the infant prophylaxis arm were offered antiretroviral therapy after the results of the START study were announced in 2015.
Maternal viral load was tested at study entry and at weeks 6, 14, 26 and 50 weeks postpartum. Infant specimens for nucleic acid testing were collected at study entry, week 6 and every four weeks subsequently to detect HIV DNA. (HIV diagnosis in infants must be established by testing for HIV DNA as infant antibodies do not appear until around 18 months of age.) Infants were classified as infected with HIV if they had two positive nucleic acid test results.
Seven infants in the antiretroviral therapy arm and seven infants in the infant prophylaxis arm tested positive for HIV DNA in the primary analysis, which covered the period up to 56 days after the end of the breastfeeding period or 18 months postpartum, whichever came first.
These data were reported previously in a 2018 publication of the study findings in the Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes. (A secondary analysis, which included all infections reported up to 24 months postpartum, reported eight infections in mother-infant pairs randomised to antiretroviral therapy.)
New data from the study, presented in Amsterdam, show that two infants tested positive for HIV DNA either at the same time as their mothers had an undetectable viral load or viral load < 40 copies/ml, or shortly afterwards.
In one case, an infant tested positive for HIV DNA at a week 14 postpartum visit while its mother had an undetectable viral load. However, at the preceding baseline and week 6 visits, the mother had a detectable viral load above 40 copies/ml but below 1000 copies/ml.
In the second case, an infant tested positive for HIV DNA at around week 36 postpartum and the positive status was confirmed at another visit shortly afterwards (unspecified interval) and again at week 50. The infant's mother had an undetectable viral load at weeks 14, 26 and at each of the visits at which the infant tested positive for HIV DNA.
There are several possible explanations for these cases. One possibility is that even when HIV is undetectable in blood, it may still be transmitted in breast milk through cell-associated virus. The volume of breast milk consumed during the breastfeeding period and the amount of potentially infected cells in breast milk mean that the risk differs from sexual transmission and may be much higher, despite undetectable viral load in blood.
Another possibility is that, in the first case, viral suppression was too slow to prevent HIV transmission, and that infection had taken place at some point after week 6 when viral load might still have been detectable. If that were the case, it suggests that HIV transmission through breast milk might occur when viral load measured in blood is below 1000 copies/ml.
In the second case, poor adherence might explain transmission, but it is hard to see how viral load could have rebounded after week 26 but returned to undetectable levels by week 36.
Taken together, these cases of transmission suggest that undetectable does not mean untransmittable in the case of breastfeeding.

As an anecdote, I once failed one of my shots, it happens to everyone. The biggest problem with that cup was that it had almost no crema. I sipped it anyway, I wanted to see how it was. I was absolutely stunned by the taste of that shot. The unique combination of tamping and grind size made that cup more flavorful. It just didn't have enough crema. Never judge an espresso by its looks. This is why some people hate Nespresso with a passion, it is very consistent, and it gives you a great shot with ample crema every time, but it is never fantastic. I love "fantastic", but for the convenience, I settle for good, so Nespresso is one of my favorite coffeemakers. If convenience is what you are looking for mostly, take a look at our article that compares capsule-based espresso machines.
