Big tractor features in a subcompact size
Cub Cadet Yanmar recently announced the launch of the Sc2400 Sub-Compact Tractor. The Sc2400 is designed for those users wanting more power and versatility than a garden tractor, but who are not quite ready for a bigger compact utility tractor. For ease-of-use, the Sc2400 features a "Shift-On-The-Go" transmission that allows users to change ranges without stopping the tractor. Units are powered by a three-cylinder liquid cooled, 24 hp Yan-mar diesel engine. This in-direct diesel engine has a specially-designed combustion chamber in which the air charge enters at both a higher volume and greater pressure, in turn creating a better fuel mixture.


A thorough, thoughtful course that imparts skills and confidence by direct experience and quiet, patient guidance. Top notch!
Initially, I was intimidated by the size of the boat but by the second day I felt far more confident of both the principles described and the implementation. Both Steve and Jo are lovely host/hostesses.


You don't need to bring anything, just try to show up about ten minutes early. At the end of the orientation, the instructor may be able to give you a tour of the club's facilities if weather and time permits. If you would like a tour please bring hearing and eye protection with you as we'll be visiting the shooting ranges.


We've had a fab couple of weeks out at Forest School with the Class 2 children really getting stuck in.
During the first week, the children had the chance to explore and see how the site had changed since they were last there. They played on the new slackline, went pond dipping (and met one of our resident frogs), make a range of culinary delights in the mud kitchen and - generally - had fun!
We came together around the fire to cook and eat drop scones - which we served with freshly picked blackberries.
This week, lots of the children were keen to make bows and arrows. They learned to identify willow by the colour of the branches and the leaves, and they cut some using loppers. There was a lot of teamwork and problem solving with this activity.
Other children chose to build a den or have a go at getting a spark using a flint and steel. Some also made leaf prints on flags, and we saw how the wind blew them.
Cooking and eating s'mores proved hugely popular!!
Please have look at the phonics sounds sheet on our class page. This sheet contains all the sounds the children have been learning since foundation. You can help your child by getting them to say the sounds to you and by asking them to read words containing the different sounds. During the phonics screening check children will be asked to read a combination of real and alien words (nonsense words). This is to ensure they are using their phonics to decode words. It will be really helpful if you can ask your children to read a mixture of these words at home. For example, an alien word such as "sploon" would be spilt into the sounds s-p-l-oo-n. I have included a document that is a mixture of alien and real words that you can use for this.
Please have a look at the Year 2 spelling document to see how you can help your child at home.

Q: How to get object name inside class body? I created class Class and I want the function PrintObjectName to print out the object name.
By calling "SomeObject.PrintObjectName();" I'm expecting that console will print "SomeObject". How to achieve this?
class Class
{
public:
    PrintObjectName()
    {
        cout<<OBJECTNAME;
    }
};

int main()
{
    Class SomeObject;
    SomeObject.PrintObjectName();

    return 0;

Ласло Макра (Makra László) (г. Шиклош (Siklós), Венгрия, 5 июня 1952) — венгерский ученый. Круг исследований – климатология растительной пыльцы, исследование климатической системы связей пыльцы амброзии полыннолистной, а также связи концентрации пыльцы амброзии полыннолистной и заболеваний дыхательных путей.

Карьера
В 1970 году окончил гимназию в г. Комло и в 1971 г. поступил в Сегедский университет им. Аттилы Йожефа на отделение математики и географии факультета естественных наук. Получил диплом в 1976 году. Затем стал младшим преподавателем кафедры климатологии университета. С 1996 года доцент той же кафедры, а с 2015 года работает в Институте экономики сельского хозяйства и регионального развития сельскохозяйственного факультета Сегедского университета в гор. Ходмезёвашархей. С 2016 года профессор.

Защитил университетскую докторскую диссертацию в 1978 году, диссертацию PhD в 1995 году, в 2004 году прошел процесс хабилитации в Университете Дебрецена. Провел многие недели в научных командировках в Индонезии (Джакарта, 1989), Китае (Пекин 1993, Гуанчжоу (Кантон) 1995), Чехия (Брно (1996). Является членом редакционных коллегий нескольких венгерских периодических изданий, редактор одного международного журнала, член редакционных коллегий семи международных журналов, а также член правления журнала International Ragweed Society (2014-).

Профессиональна деятельность
Основной круг исследований – климатические системы связей фоновых аэрозолей и биоаэрозолей, внутри последних пыльцы: климатология растительной пыльцы. Эта относительно недавно появившаяся в международной научной литературе область науки в Венгрии является абсолютно новой. Исследовательская деятельность внутри климатологии растительной пыльцы: статистика растительной пыльцы; моделирование переноса растительной пыльцы; прогнозирование концентрации растительной пыльцы; исследование связи концентрации пыльцы и заболеваний дыхательных путей; исследование климатической чувствительности для различных таксонов; ожидаемая концентрация пыльцы в зависимости от изменения климата.

Основные результаты

Провел успешные полевые экспедиции с измерениями во Внутренней Азии (Китай, Синьцзян-Уйгурский автономный район, 1990; 1994), в Индонезии (Ява, Бали, 1996) и в Южной Америке (Бразилия, 1998) для определения состава элементов в аэрозольных частицах в региональном фоне. Взятые пробы воздуха были исследованы вместе с коллегами в НИИ исследования атома Академии наук Венгрии в г. Дебрецен.

Основные результаты экспедиций

1-2. Экспедиции в Китай (1990, 1994)

(а) высокая концентрация серы и хлора в региональном аэрозоле естественного происхождения (каменная соль, глауберова соль, гипс) и является следствием распространенного и интенсивного накопления солей в сухом, не имеющим стока бассейне реки Тарим;
(b) пропорции элементов Si/Fe и Ca/Fe  могут служить маркером для мониторинга дальнего переноса происходящих из региона Такла-Макан аэрозолей. (см.: явление "желтого ветра" в средней и восточной части Китайская, явление переноса KOSA над Японией, Тихим океаном м Северной Америкой).

Экспедиция в Индонезию (1996)
(a) концентрация хлора, серы, меди, цинка и хрома значительно превышена в атмосферных аэрозолях как на Яве, так и на Бали;
(b) большая часть хлора попадает из океана (океанический аэрозоль);
(с) часть серы антропогенного происхождения, а часть происходит благодаря биогенной эмиссии;
(d) медь, цинк и хром предположительно попадают из почвы.

Климатология растительной пыльцы

Основатель климатологии растительной пыльцы в Венгрии. Имеющий международное признание исследователь переноса пыли и биоаэрозолей. Определил основные территории происхождения пыльцы амброзии полыннолистной при дальнем переносе в Карпатском бассейне. Разработал методику дифференцирования дальнего и регионального переноса пыли и пыльцы амброзии полыннолистной, а также определил компоненты переноса и относительное количество нетто переноса в Карпатском бассейне. Во взаимодействии с национальными службами информации составил для Европы крупнейшие на сегодняшний день базы данных по пыльце амброзии полыннолистной, которые представляют собой основу для первых обобщенных исследований пыльцы амброзии полыннолистной на всем континенте. С коллегами разработал несколько моделей дневного прогнозирования концентрации пыльцы амброзии полыннолистной. Применил не описанные до сих пор в специальной литературе методики для исследования заболеваний верхних дыхательных путей с учетом метеорологических, химических и биологических факторов. На основании описанных в международной специальной литературе прогнозов изменения климата определил для каких таксонов в бассейне Карпат ожидается значимое повышение выброса пыльцы. Составил самые обобщенные и самые подробные карты количественных и первые в Европе карты фенологических параметров пыльцы амброзии полыннолистной.

Where do Volunteer Trips depart from?
Our helicopter volunteer trips set off from High Tide helicopters located at 4345 Airport Rd SE, Southport, NC 28461. Regular departure times are 9 AM, return times are 10-11 AM. Trip visits vary from 3 days to a week or more. Should there be any difference of departure time, location, or return time you will be informed by a Frying Pan Tower crew member. Please arrive thirty minutes prior to departure for weighing and loading.
How much can the helicopter hold?
Due to FAA helicopter safety restraints, the number of people and cargo is determined by weight. To ensure safety, the pilot privately weighs all guests and their luggage before loading the helicopter. No single passenger may weigh over 300#.
Each helicopter ride carries up to 3 volunteers with all gear: 580 pounds MAX.
A set of work clothes that are easy to move around in and you don't mind getting messy. Depending on the length of stay you may only need one set, casual clothes and a maybe a swimsuit! We have a washer and dryer or eco-clothes line, located at the tower should you need to freshen up.
One pair of work boots. we are quite the rustic location and you want to protect your toes! we have extra pairs of flipflops and other shoes located at the tower for when you are relaxing. Simply wear your set of work boots out to the tower on the helicopter ride.
What should I expect to do, and do I need safety gear?
You can always check the main volunteer page for a list of ongoing projects. We expect 8 hours of work per day and make sure we can take time to have fun as well! Because of the size of this restoration project with have many different tasks varying in intensity and skill level required. On the simple side you can expect cleaning and painting. On the more involved projects you can be working with acids, hanging down in the maintenance level, or welding.
Please note we never ask any volunteers to do a task more complex then they are comfortable with! It is also extremely important to note that safety gear is provided. At the frying pan tower we take safety very seriously and will not allow volunteers to attempt work without the proper personal protection equipment. If you feel that any task you are engaged in needs more protection for yourself, such as gloves or any other personal protection equipment please don't hesitate to inform your Frying Pan Tower crew member.
Requirements, This holds for Volunteers too!
Being as the Frying Pan Tower is an ongoing restoration project we operate with the understanding that there are areas that are off-limits for safety. All are required to sign a liability release waiver before boarding. We consider your safety the most important part of having a great adventure. This facility is out in the open ocean and is a very dangerous place where foolish action can result in serious consequences very quickly. This is not your normal vacation weekend but one that due to it's unique character will be a trip that you will be talking about for years to come! This is as Time Magazine quoted, a "rustic" location meaning there is still plenty of rust!
All participants must sign this release form before coming aboard. Please print and sign a copy in advance.

The dome home comes to Spain
Source: El Pais - Wed 16th Mar 2016
A Spanish architecture company is now putting the finishing touches to two circular, geodesic houses in the southern region of Murcia that will be home to a British family and a Norwegian couple. The first of the wood-built structures is in Yecla, and has a floor space of 160 square meters; the second, in the wine-growing area of Jumilla, is made up of two igloo-like constructions joined by a corridor that together provide 85 square meters of living space.
"It's a way of covering a circular space very efficiently by joining together triangular panels: this cuts down the amount of material that needs to be used, reducing building times and costs," explain architects Pablo Carbonell and Juan Miguel Galera Miñarro from Ecoproyecta, which is building the homes.
The geodesic dome is not a new invention: US architect Buckminster Fuller was designing such structures in the mid-20th century – he built a 75-meter-diameter dome for the US pavilion at the Canada Expo in 1967, held in Montreal. Later, other architects, among them Spain's Emilio Pérez Piñero, further refined Fuller's designs in the 1970s.
Ecoproyecta has now revived the concept, allowing its clients to use renewable energy from solar panels and batteries to store electricity, making homes self-sufficient. There are also options to recycle rainwater.
The appeal of using geodesic domes is that they cost between €500 and €1,000 per square meter, and take around six months to build. "The house in Yecla cost around €150,000 (€900 per square meter, including solar panel installation), while the home in Jumilla has cost around €45,000 (€550 per square meter), along with €3,000 for solar panels. You need to bear in mind that the first house is better equipped, with under-floor heating, a chimney that acts as a biomass-fueled boiler, and generally more expensive material," says Carbonell. Both homes generate their own electricity.
The larger property, in Yecla, will be home to a British family of five, while a Norwegian couple has bought the house in Jumilla. Both structures will be primary residences.
The geodesic domes' triangular panels are assembled in Ecoproyecta's workshop first, and then the dome itself is built on a cement foundation and covered with either a waterproof laminate and mortar or natural cork in just a couple of days. The flooring and interior work, electricity, water, and so forth takes up most of the construction time.
Size is not an issue: any number of domes can be connected via passageways or corridors. "By adding domes you can create a property as big as you like. What's more, you can increase the size as and when you need, for example, when you have more children [...] or want guest bedrooms," says Carbonell.
The domed interior is an open space without walls. The homes use biomass open fires for heating, while geothermic ventilation is provided by the Canadian well system, producing heat in winter and cold air in summer. Both homes are built on open land with trees that can be pruned for firewood.
Ecoproyecta says interest in geodesic dome houses is growing in Spain, albeit slowly, and that it has just presented four new estimates for properties.

Emulsion polymers are commonly used as a polymeric base for different general purpose adhesives. Emulsion adhesives are formed by the emulsification and polymerization of ethylene vinyl acetate, acetic vinyl, and acrylic resin in water. These adhesives are mainly used for porous materials. These are non-flammable, non-toxic in nature and hence are relatively safer to use. The global emulsion adhesives market is projected to register a good growth during the forecast period, owing to its wide range of application such as woodworking, furniture, packaging, paper working, and others.
In adhesives market, acrylics are gaining market share, majorly in pressure sensitive labels and tapes, including decal and label applications, medical tapes, envelopes, and others. Also, acrylic emulsions are environment-friendly adhesives and also provide an adequate balance among tack, shear, and peel strength of the bond.
Based on application, the emulsion adhesives market is segmented into packaging, woodworking, tapes and labels, construction, automotive and transportation, and others. The automotive and transportation segment is projected to register the fastest growth in the coming years, which is attributed to the automotive industry expansion, particularly in Asian countries, resulting in the increased production of automobiles. As these emulsions are used in the automobile components manufacturing that includes headliners, tail lights, and interior trims.
These adhesives are gaining popularity in the market due to various reasons, for example, switching from solvent-based adhesives to water-based adhesives which allow manufacturers to reduce the emission of volatile organic compound (VOC). Along with that, the demand of these adhesives is rising in the developing countries as they allow extensive range of work from coating with brush to machine coating, also, they are relatively inexpensive, resulting in increasing demand from Asian countries.
Availability of substitutes in the market including hot melt adhesives, performance issues in high strength applications are the major challenges identified in the emulsion adhesives market, which can potentially hinder the market growth in the coming years. The availability of hot melt and other solvent-less adhesives are giving tough competition to these adhesives, which is posing as a challenge in the market.
During the forecast period, the emulsion adhesives market is expected to register the highest CAGR in Asia-Pacific. This can mainly be attributed to the increasing demand from countries such as China, India, and others to meet the increasing demand from end-user industries. Additionally, stringent environment related policies and increasing emphasis on using low-VOC products are among the major factors that are contributing towards the growth of the market.
The major players are introducing innovative products in the market as part of their strategy to gain a competitive edge over competitors. Some of the major players operating in the emulsion adhesives industry are Wacker Chemie, Ashland Inc., Henkel Corporation, H.B. Fuller, 3M Company, Pidlite Industries Ltd., Arkema Group, DowDuPont Inc., STI Polymer, Tailored Chemical Product, Melton Adhesives, Lord Corporation, Mapei S.P.A, and Franklin International.

The following is an assessment of the appropriateness of modeling state tax policy using methods that came to the fore in The General Theory of Employment Interest, and Money, published in 1936 by the British economist, John Maynard Keynes. The two features of Keynes's book that are most relevant to the topic at hand are (1) that it was written to address the economic conditions of the Great Depression, which was in its 7th full year at the time of the book's publication, and (2) that it offered a tool, called the Keynesian multiplier, for measuring the effectiveness of the policy recommendations that came out of the book.
Keynes saw it as his purpose to replace the hitherto recognized economic paradigm, then called the "classical" model, with a new paradigm that reflected the depth and persistence of the Depression. In the classical model, economic downturns, even severe economic downturns, were supposed to be self-correcting. The relevance here is that the classical model (whose assumptions mirror those of our CGE model) assumed that supply equaled demand except for brief periods of imbalance between supply and demand, which would be eventually corrected by price and wage adjustments.
Given that the ongoing economic downturn was clearly not self-correcting, argued Keynes, it was necessary to forge a new approach that both explained that downturn and provided a path back to more normal conditions. It was necessary to build a model in which the supply of goods and labor could exceed the demand for goods and labor over a protracted period of time.
Keynes's approach turned the classical model on its head: Previously, saving was necessary for investment and therefore for production and employment. Now saving was a "leakage" from the spending stream that slowed the pace of economic expansion. Previously, government spending crowded out personal consumption. Now government spending provided a spur to consumption. Government could rescue the economy from a protracted downturn by using its tax and spending powers to boost aggregate demand.
In doing so, the government would take advantage of how the Keynesian multiplier could be relied upon to increase production and consumption. Government would spend, say, another$1,000 on some activity. It didn't matter if the activity was something useful like building a bridge or something wasteful like paying men to dig holes and fill them in again. Spending was spending. And this spending would cause production to expand by some multiple of $1,000.
A key concept in computing the multiplier is the "marginal propensity to consume," or "MPC," defined as the additional consumption that another dollar of disposable income would yield. Suppose this MPC equaled .5. An "injection" of $1,000 in government spending would immediately bring about $1,000 in new production. But then consumers would spend 50% of that, adding another $500 to production. Then consumers would spend 50% of that, or $250, leading to further new production and to further rounds of new consumption and production so that, at the end of the day, the initial "injection" of $1,000 in government spending yielded altogether $2,000 in new production. Thus by spending only $1,000, the government would cause production to rise by twice that amount. Hence, the Keynesian multiplier.
A further wrinkle in this analysis is the Keynesian "balanced budget multiplier." This concept, which comes up in Keynesian models of state tax policy, begins with the idea that, just as government spending is good for the economy, taxes are bad (though for reasons unlike those considered by STAMP). Taxes are bad in this analysis because they reduce disposable income. Suppose that the government decided to raise taxes by $1,000, rather than increase spending by $1,000. Now disposable income would fall by $1,000, and as a result, consumption would fall by $500, causing production to fall by the same amount. Then consumption and production would fall by another $250, and so forth, until both had fallen by $1,000.
Change in production from $1,000 in new government spending = $1,000 + $500 + $250 + $125 + … + 0 = $2,000.
Change in production from $1,000 in new taxes = -$500 – $250 – $125 – … – 0 = -$1,000.
Adding: $2,000 – $1,000 = $1,000.
Voila! The simultaneous $1,000 increase in spending and taxes has a net positive effect on the economy of $1,000. Conversely if the government had cut spending and taxes by $1,000, the economy would have shrunk by the same amount. And interestingly, the result doesn't depend on the size of the MPC. Economic models that have built-in Keynesian elements show that a given increase in spending and taxes will expand the economy by that increase and that a given decrease in spending and taxes will contract the economy by that decrease.
Despite the fact that Keynes himself recognized that this line of analysis was legitimate only when production and employment were significantly below their "full-employment" norms, the Keynesian model dominated economic thinking well beyond the end of the Depression and until the early 1970s, when "stagflation" cast doubt on its applicability to current conditions. Thereafter, economists started to rehabilitate the previously discarded classical model, causing mentions of Keynes to disappear almost entirely from the academic literature and to receive less and less consideration in college textbooks.
The recent economic downturn did, in fact, breathe new life into the Keynesian corpse. But the failure of the economy to respond measurably to the 2009 "stimulus" policies suggests that this renewed life will quickly fade. The current economic weakness appears to be due, not to an insufficiency of demand, but to uncertainties surrounding Obamacare and Dodd Frank and to safety net measures that deter people from taking jobs, all of which operate on the supply-side of the economy. When ITEP criticizes us for assuming full employment, it is implying that we should be more "Keynesian" in our approach. We should treat government spending as good for the economy and taxes as bad only insofar as they reduce disposable income. The balanced budget multiplier is a handy tool for government expansionists who want to claim, in effect, that the state government can make the state economy as big as it wants by merely spending more.
t mechanism, cause production to expand. This "supply-side" approach makes sense insofar as the demand-side palliatives called for by the Keynesian model seem to have lost their usefulness some 70 years ago. No one outside of some other modeling organizations takes the idea of the balanced budget multiplier seriously anymore.
It is the position of the Beacon Hill Institute that, in modeling tax policy, Keynes's ideas work well, insofar as they do at all, for considerations of federal tax policy changes in an economy that is clearly depressed owing to a lack of aggregate demand. The federal government can influence national economic conditions through Keynesian policies since it can run budget deficits and print money, whereas state governments can do neither. Furthermore, the federal government doesn't have to concern itself with the outmigration of capital, jobs and consumer activity in the way that the states do when it comes to raising taxes.
Economic models that use Keynesian multipliers to rationalize individual projects, such as building a sports arena in a depressed area, are also fine as far as they go. But state policy makers should be wary of models that presume to generalize that approach to making to state tax policy.
The BHI approach to modeling a reduction in, say, the state sales tax is focus on how that tax change will expand consumption by making consumption cheaper in the state and thus bring in more retail business and, by doing so, increase production and salaries. Sales tax revenues will go down, but the reduction in those revenues will be partly offset by an increase in income tax revenues and other tax revenues. Government spending will fall but the taxes previously paid to government will show up as increased consumption. The alternative view, that the path to economic expansion lies in combined spending and tax increases does not fit the facts of the current economy at the national level and certainly does not fit those facts at the state level.

Top CEOs of 2022 and their management style
Buzz | Motivation | Sales Management
Learn from the best. So say those who have already understood that it is much easier to learn from other people's mistakes than from their own.
Do you have someone you look up to in your professional development? Do you have an idol among successful people in your field? Whose style do you follow, whose path are you interested in, and whose biography are you inspired by?
Let's consider the generally recognized chief executives of international corporations, their achievements, and management styles.
Tim Cook, CEO of Apple
After the death of Steve Jobs, most people believed Apple was doomed. However, the company stayed afloat and grew significantly and increased profits. All this under the leadership of the new CEO — Tim Cook, the former chief operating officer of Apple.
At the time of his appointment, Cook remained in the shadows. He gave almost no interviews, did not appear in any commercials, and was mainly unknown to anyone. No one inside or outside of Apple saw him as the leader the company needed. What is the uniqueness of Cook's leadership?
Tim Cook's management style is radically different from the autocratic style of his predecessor. Generally, it can be called democratic and aimed at collaboration, interaction, and team building.
The first thing Cook did when he became head of Apple was to write emails to every employee. It became a trend; it started a new corporate culture of communication. Tim remains open to the opinion of his employees and supports a culture of transparency in the company.
Pay attention to his attitude to problems and troubles. He does not look for culprits but uses questions to understand the situation and find ways to solve it. That is, before making a decision, he collects and analyzes information.
Through his efforts, Cook has made Apple a more inclusive and diverse company. Under his leadership, the company increased the size of donations and invited an assistant for the development of renewable energy sources. He was also praised for handling the COVID-19 pandemic, during which Tim took steps to protect the health and safety of Apple employees and ensure the company's smooth operations.
Overall, Cook's management style is collaborative, data-driven, and focused on efficiency and corporate responsibility.
Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft
Nadella's management style is similar to that of Cook. It is focused on teamwork and cooperation. But some unique features may inspire you.
Satya Nadella is known for his emphasis on innovation and willingness to take risks to succeed. He makes decisions only based on data and can analyze complex information and identify trends and patterns.
One of Nadella's main values is ethical and responsible business practices. He put empathy at the forefront of a new corporate culture but reimagined it this way.
Listening to customers and giving them what they want is not enough. Customers want companies to go above and beyond. And this requires empathy and sympathy. Innovation happens only when a company can satisfy undefined needs. And this comes from a deep sense of empathy, which is inherent in everyone.
One more interesting thing. Nadella formulated three main principles of effective leadership:
Leaders seek clear understanding from those they work with. They pick up internal and external disturbances and transform them into intelligible messages. They recognize the true signals in the surrounding noise.
Leaders generate energy. Both within your team and within the entire company. The responsibility of a leader is to cultivate optimism, creativity, commitment, and growth in people.
Leaders are looking for ways to succeed. They find a way to turn their plans into reality. They create the ground for innovation, seek and find a balance between long-term success and short-term victories, overcome limitations, and think globally in search of solutions.
Overall, Nadella's management style can be described as collaborative, data-driven, and focused on innovation and ethical business practices.
Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet
Collaboration and focus on teamwork stopped being a trend and turned into everyday and even necessary things. Pichai was no exception, and since 2015, Google employees have been working under his sensitive leadership.
What successes did the Alphabet Corporation achieve during the years of his rule?
Google's market capitalization doubled and exceeded $900 billion, and Alphabet's revenue, the bulk of which is formed by Google's advertising revenues, reached a record $136 billion. He became the highest-paid American CEO in 2016. And in 2018, the international company Reputation Institute named him the most respected top manager on the planet.
Pichai is known for his emphasis on data-driven decision-making and his ability to analyze complex information and identify trends and patterns. He is also known for his focus on innovation and willingness to take risks for progress and success.
He has also spoken about the importance of diversity and inclusion in the tech industry and has worked to promote these values at Google and Alphabet.
Overall, Pichai's management style can be described as collaborative, data-driven, and focused on innovation and ethical business practices.
Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, Tesla, and Twitter
He has a reputation as a demanding and hands-on leader who sets high expectations for his employees and motivates them to achieve ambitious goals.
A willingness to take risks and a focus on innovation is what has ensured the incredible success of his companies in areas such as space exploration and automotive. But his management style is recognized as authoritarian. Musk does not show respect for his subordinates and requires them to achieve their goals at any cost.
Another distinguishing feature of his management style is his tendency to be involved in all aspects of his company's operations, from product development to marketing and finance.
Musk skillfully works with data, analyzes it to make decisions, creates a development strategy, and finds ways to implement new ideas.
Overall, Musk's management style can be described as ambitious, data-driven, and focused on innovation and continuous improvement.
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook
Zuckerberg believes that great people working with clear direction can achieve positive results. He believes that employees should be hired based on their passion, not their skills. He explains that "skills can be taught, passion cannot."
There is another interesting feature of work at Meta. Employees are not assigned projects but are allowed to choose projects in which they are most interested. This leadership method gives employees the power, courage, and freedom to select their actions aimed at success. Therefore, it is not surprising that 99% of Meta employees are satisfied with their management and happy to work for the company.
Zuckerberg also makes decisions with confidence. He believes in his product. He turned down offers from other businessmen to buy his business because he believed that Facebook was more than just a business. His ambition is to create a more connected world, and he believes Facebook can do just that.
Zuckerberg's management style can be described as hands-on, data-driven, and focused on innovation and transparency.
Warren Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway
Buffett is known for his long-term, value-oriented approach to investing, and this philosophy also extends to his management style.
Unlike Zuckerberg and Musk, who want to keep power in their hands, Buffett skillfully delegates decision-making to his managers. It gives them freedom of action as long as they achieve the intended goals and follow the company's values.
What are these values?
Discipline, a culture of trust and accountability, rationality, and long-term planning.
Warren is also known for his focus on building strong, long-term relationships with his employees and his dedication to developing their skills and fostering their careers. He values his subordinates, and they thank him for the same.
Buffett's management style can be described as disciplined, long-term-oriented, and focused on trust, accountability, and employee development.
6 personalities – 6 successful people, each of whom has his management style and life philosophy that he follows. Which of them inspired you the most? Whose example would you like to follow?

27.8 inch/70.5 cm. Handle Material: Ray Skin + Hard Wood. 1.26 inch/3.2 cm. Package weight: 2.0 kg.
0.91 inch/2.3 cm. The blade is hand-made, following the most traditional Japanese craftsmanship. It is fully hand-forged, hand-polished and hand-sharpened by our professional smith.
This blade is made of folded steel and has folded 12 times to create the 4096 layers to increase the flexibility and hardness of the blade and a distinct texture is left on the blade as a result of the repeated folding during the process. The visible tenuous undulating grain on the blade was resulted from folded repeatedly during forging. Bo-hi (blood groove) is added to each side of the blade which can not only lighten the blade but also balance it to achieve optimal performance. If you do not want the Bo-Hi, just let us know and we can customize for you.
The blade is in full-tang which greatly enhances the strength of the whole sword. The blade is strong enough to cut a thick bamboo tree and sharp enough to slice paper. This tsuba (guard) of the sword is made of Zinc Alloy with two Copper Seppas to put on each side of it (spacer securing it). The Habaki (blade collar) is of brass composition. This Tsuka is made of hard wood, wrapped with genuine ray skin, and tied with real silk ITO in the traditional wrap style.
The Fuchi (sleeve) and Kashira (buttcap) on the tsuka are made of alloy with matching Menuki on each side as an ornament, two Mekugi (peg) are nailed to secure the Tang of the sword. Sword can be disassembled by picking up the two Mekugi (peg). This saya(sheath) of the sword is Hard Wooden and lacquered superior paint to highly gloss the surface of it. The Sage-O is tied around the Kurikaka (knob) of the saya, the Koiguchi(scabbard mouth) and Kojiri(scabbard tip) has been hardened.

Most Expensive Magazine Covers Ever Shot | TOP 10
Let's get started with the most expensive magazine covers ever shot!
We will next be talking about the magazines bold and rich enough to pay for exclusive pictures of the important events of celebrities' lives.
The kind of magazines that will pay whatever for an exclusive picture and/or interview, because let's be honest, there is nothing magazines love more than celebrities and gossip.
Hell, there is nothing you love more than seeing the life of the rich and hear juicy gossips about them.
For you and for the rest of us, these magazines were created. Let's take a look and see which magazines were bold enough to ask for exclusivity.
10. People Magazine's Cover of Kim Kardashian's Wedding: $1.5 million
When Kim married Kanye, everyone wanted to be a part of their extravagant wedding. The photographers had a battle over who's going to take the first picture.
The same happened when Kim first got married. Same battle, same things.
And so, People Magazine was willing to pay and paid $1.5 million for the exclusive right to Kim's wedding photos from August 2011. And it happened right after the magazine previously paid a reported $300,000 for the couple's exclusive engagement photos.
That time, she married NBA star Kris Humphries in Montecito, California in a fancy ceremony in which she wore a Vera Wang ball gown fit for her fame.
The wedding itself is rumored to have cost a whopping $10 million, and People's cover showing Kim all by herself sold over 1.5 million copies of the issue.

Its Good Friday. Now what does this picture have to do with it. Absolutely nothing or maybe it means sth. Whatever the reason it's important to me that's valid enough, this being MY post. Most people scrolling through this might probably find it odd, my mom for sure would be like 'why make that poor girl pose like that', while some might just tag it as 'art' and move on. Yes, it may apply to all of the above but for me, it carries out a strong emotion. An emotion of how us humans view ourselves, view the world, follow the crowd and are most of the times blind to the originality. Yes, we are spiritual beings living a human life. Yes, we do get very involved with our everyday life. Yes, we do cheat and adapt to survive. Cause, who's got time in this fast paced generation. But somewhere in all this mix. We just forget our basic roots and fail in being human. Staying grounded takes you much higher. I mean, remind yourself of the example from the guy upstairs who sent his Son to become so Low. Bottom line - Try to be Humble, that's the 101 to soaring high.


CTI is a long-established technology for improving performance but is it being used?
Research carried out by Rostrvm Solutions has shown that most call centres in the UK are not taking advantage of Computer Telephone Integration (CTI) technology.
In today's challenging environment, every organisation needs to be as efficient as possible. Rostrvm Solutions' research has shown that most call centres in the UK are not optimising call centre performance with only 31% of call centres using CTI as part of their customer contact operations.
Rostrvm's research also highlighted the large number of different software applications used by call centre agents to process calls – the numbers ranged from 1 to 20+. Call centre agents use an average of 4 software applications to process a call.

Widely accepted as the first abstract movement, it was invented by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in the early 20th century. Eschewing traditional perspective, Cubism takes a more conceptual approach - often portraying the subject from a number of conflicting perspectives. Many may recognize a yellowish-brown color palate and newspaper clippings as other signs of a Cubist work.

NBC Uses CG Face Morphing Effect To Doctor Video Interview With Cuban Lieutenant Colonel, Propagandizing THEIR AUDIENCE
About MonoConscious

by Erich Hamburgh
"NBC NIGHTLY NEWS" USES CG (computer generated) FACE MORPHING EFFECT TO DOCTOR VIDEO INTERVIEW WITH CUBAN LIEUTENANT COLONEL ROBERTO HERNANDEZ IN LATE 2019, PROPAGANDIZING THEIR AUDIENCE AND THE ENTIRE WORLD
NBC Nightly News is now using CG face-morphing effects in order to doctor people's faces. So far, they've totally gotten away with it, so I'm asking you to share this article in order to get NBC to publically make a statement on the matter. See the entire news clip on NBC's website here, and fast forward to the 11m 10s mark.
Bold Propaganda
NBC news and their reporters have been caught in some major doozies, but this time, it's safe to say that they've jumped the shark in what should have been an extremely obvious way. Anyone with a basic understanding of what computer generated effects look like will be able to spot the effect that was used on the face of the Cuban official, Lieutenant Colonel Roberto Hernandez as he was being interviewed by 'NBC Nightly News' reporter Andrea Mitchell. NBC morphed his face in mid sentence in an apparent attempt at eliminating a portion of his statement. Although I can only speculate as to why the CG effect was applied, we can only assume that it was for more than making a mere test of the ignorance and gullibility of the public. It was a risky move for NBC, and they know it, because they've "failed" to enter the December 8th episode of 'NBC Nightly News' into their YouTube playlist meant to archive all 'NBC Nightly News' videos. If the video is in there now, it wasn't when I checked. Their employees have failed to archive the December 8th video in an archive playlist containing over four thousand videos.
Watch this December 8th, 2019 YouTube upload of NBC Nightly News as they attempt to boldly propagandize their viewers with this face altering CG effect. The world first became very familiar with this particular type of face morphing effect in the 1991 Michael Jackson music video to the single "Black or White." The music video came out as the world had become mesmerized by the power of CGI, or computer generated imagery. In particular, the likes of 3D effects such as those shown in popular films like Jurassic Park (1993), and Terminator 2 (1991). And today, if you watch a lot of fiction, you'll see this kind of face or object morphing all the time.
But here we are in 2020, almost twenty years after Hollywood GCI'ed extinct dinosaurs into existence. And today, just as many people have struggled to tell the difference between those computer generated dinosaur shots which were edited in with the puppets and animatronix effects, now too will they be scratching their heads at some of the most rudimentary deep fakes. There's no wonder so many big government lemmings have called for the banning of deep fakes (as if we could ever really ban propaganda) along with anything else they fear. Fortunately enough for me, and hopefully for most of the readers of Monoconscious, I could tell the difference between the puppet dinosaurs and the computer generated ones with no problem. And I can tell when someone morphs a man's face with his own face.

The information war is now officially hot. And even though entities in the West have been engaging in serious extra-war propaganda for decades, some members of the public have been good at spotting the deception, and pushing back on it. From the fake corpse of Osama Bin Laden to the doctored photo created by a Reuters photographer in Beirut in 2006, the public is not known for missing these things.
Does This Mean That a Deep Fake Singularity is Coming Soon?
Now that we have things like face morphs and moles appearing on 2020 Democratic Presidential Candidate Tulsi Gabbard's face, does this mean we'll soon see a wave of crippling deep fake propaganda? Probably not. WMD's were enough to go to war over, and they were just words. If the West can't defend itself from fake headlines and fake reports that lack any evidence, then perhaps deep fakes will be a good thing: something to shock the system and wake us up. Thanks for reading and again, I'd like for everyone reading this article to share it, and help expose the fact that Western Mainstream Media has gone fully digital in their war on our hearts and minds.
Think Responsibly. #Monoconscious
