On March 16, Lisa Eskenazi Boyer was working up a sweat with her students one last time at her bustling Queens, New York, fitness studio. Covid-19 lockdown orders were about to take effect, and Simply Fit Astoria — along with all other local gyms — would have to close its doors later that night. She never expected it to be for good.....

The Internal Revenue Service is planning to ramp up audits of smaller businesses and their investors by about 50 percent next year, following years of persistently low examination rates, an agency official said Tuesday.

The result could be a surge in audits of companies ranging from mom-and-pop retail stores and technology startups to investment funds that have historically faced only infrequent checks thanks to the time and effort required at the IRS.

Chinese food in my neighborhood isn't particularly good. For some reason I decided to brave a local establishment, putting my...

I've been saying this for a while, now I'm just gonna write it down:

Stand-ups suck. Treat them as a last-resort.

The classic stand-up: each day a group of people stand huddled in a circle chanting: "His Name is Robert Paulson... His Name is Robert Paulson... His Name..." - no wait that's not it...

They stand in a circle bored out of their skulls while each in turn says what they did yesterday and what they are going to do today. A couple of people sorta care what everyone says (usually project managers, or customer reps) everyone else is interested in what maybe one or two people say. No one can go into enough detail to really educate anyone. Everyone's glad when its over.

Sometimes people attend many of these per day (cross-team stand-ups anyone?). A few might even make it a significant chunk of their day & job descriptions; I think of these people as "Meeting Moths" - attracted to meetings like moths to the flame.

STOP. DOING. THIS.

Instead:

1. Figure out who needs status and how often; GO AND GIVE IT TO THEM. It's a good bet they don't need to hear the minutiae of what code was written anyway & you're probably addressing that in existing stand-ups by making sure the programmers don't get too detailed killing any value they might've gotten from talking about what they are doing - dysfunctions beget dysfunctions...
2. Those who are doing actual tasks should be free to talk about them when they need to. In my experience this part of the stand-up gets short shrift when its scheduled and attended by those not doing the work. GET THEM OUT OF THERE. If you do, you might just see spontaneous, short discussions start happening daily among task completors (that's a real stand-up btw, just don't call it that or you'll ruin it by attracting meeting moths)
3. Move people next to each other who need to talk a lot. Conversely, if you already are around each other all day, you probably already know who did what and whose doing what (if not WORK ON COLLABORATING MORE)

If after you are doing all of these things, you still feel like you need a periodic daily meeting, then think for a while! Be creative! Don't just do what some book or consultant said to do, use your brain and solve the problem to everyone's benefit as best you can. Only then, if you still feel you need a stand-up, then fine; go ahead and schedule one for the things you still didn't address (but don't cover things already addressed!). The result is much more likely to be useful for everyone involved.

All periodic meetings including stand-ups evolve into wasteful time-sucks; They develop an inertia that supersedes whatever utility they initially might have had. Aggressively question their very existence; make the burden of proof be on keeping them, not ending them. Simpler still, kill em all and see what's not being done and then be creative on how to fix it.

Who knows you might just get away with one less meeting in your day.

Multiple sclerosis is curable if recognised as Lyme disease. The cause is a cyst-forming bacterium, Borrelia Burgdorferi, which causes lesions that degrade brain and spinal cord tissue.

At the conjunction of this critique of reductionism in physics and this interview with Benoit Mandelbrot I think one sees the same basic dynamic at work: a devaluation of simplicity and generalization in math and science, what I suppose Mandelbrot might call “smoothness,” and a preference for the complex and the multifarious. To some extent this seems to cut against the basic scientific impulse to simplify, to generalize, which is what a law or an equation generally does. In Laughlin I think there is even a certain disillusionment with realism perhaps not totally dissimilar from that in the analysis of language by dear friend Wittgenstein. Although, by encouraging investigation of the specifics and intricacies of phenomena which seem to be superficially covered by the most general and basic laws and to give up idle speculation about the far nether regions of the universe in space and time which cannot in any way be corroborated, he seems to be trying to bring physics back into the solid world of relative certainties and reasonable evidence, it seems to me that this is a tacit admission that the theories which seem to cover and explain adequately all phenomena except for those extreme edges are in actuality insufficient to represent the richness of even the most mundane levels of reality.

Just as in the case of the over-heated discoveries of Wittgeinstein and Cambridge group, this sudden realization that the broad and universal physical laws established and the abstract shapes used to represent them don’t really reflect the full multiplicity of reality seems a little phony to me. I mean, isn’t that the entire point? Isn’t that abstractness and simplicity supposed to yoke all of that complexity within a reasonable level of comprehensibility sufficient to possibly predict other phenomena, or at least relate them to what we have already seen? Now maybe we see a revision in the valuation of these ideals, and in both Laughlin and Mandelbrot a movement away from final solutions, formulations and summations. Seemingly nothing out-of-the-ordinary about that, but if one ceases to regard oneself as capturing the essence of a phenomenon in an equation or image describing it, then that necessarily leads to a re-evaluation of the type of work one is doing and the standard by which it is judged. Let’s put it this way: although there are many rules which often govern both the form and content of a form (some, granted, quite idiosyncratic and individual), it would be quite ludicrous to suggest that a listing of those rules would be an adequate reflection or description of the poem, let alone itself be a poem, or equivalent to the poem.

Philosophically, I’m not troubled by this as many scientists seem to be. Despite the many declarations that Newton had discovered the very mechanism by which God controlled the universe, he himself complained famously that he felt like a dilettante on the shoreline picking up stones and shells that amused him while neglecting the vast ocean before him. This seems unnecessary if one regards theorems as essentially creations, not mirrors of nature, and hence judge the cathedral of scientific knowledge by its height above the ground rather than as an incomplete ladder to the heavens.

Postano: 13.11.2024. 8:06 (GMT 1) Rukometni klub Baranja u suradnji s Udrugom BIT organizirao je drugi XIXO kup, turnir u mini rukometu, u sklopu obilježavanja Dana Grada Belog Manastira.

Na sportskom terenu Nastavno-sportske dvorane u Belom Manastiru, snage su odmjerile najmlađe rukometne ekipe, uzrasta od 9 do 10 godina s područja Osječko-baranjske, Vukovarsko-srijemske, Brodsko-posavske i Požeško-slavonske županije. Sudjelovalo je 12 klubova s 20 prijavljenih ekipa. Ukupno oko 200 djece.

"Turnir nema natjecateljski karakter, a cilj mu je da djeca razviju ljubav prema rukometu, i sportu općenito. Izuzetno je važno da djeca nauče i usvoje pravila rukometa, a najvažnije da postanu timski igrači i dio ekipe jer, rukomet je timski sport", objašnjava cilj i smisao XIXO kupa, turnira u mini rukometu Dalibor Dodoš, dopredsjednik Rukometnog kluba Baranja iz Belog Manastira.

Autor: Redakcija 031 Naslov: Centar za kulturu Čepin: Stand-up comedy show "Ja sam ti takav"
Postano: 13.11.2024. 8:14 (GMT 1) Tomislav Primorac, poznati stand-up komičar i predstavnik SplickeScene, sa showom „Ja sam ti takav“ stiže u Centar za kulturu Čepin. Nastupit će u petak, 15. studenog 2024. u 20 sati.

O komičaru Tomislavu Primorcu
Ovaj stand-up komičar prepoznatljiv je po svom britkom humoru i specifičnom stilu. Opisuje se kao „poludalmatinac“ i „poluhercegovac“ te kao mitološko biće kojeg se boje svi Purgeri. Iako je diplomirani fizičar, odlučio je krenuti putem komedije, što je izazvalo razočaranje njegovih roditelja. Njegov je životni san da bude zapamćen poput Nikole Tesle – ali ne iz altruističnih razloga, već da bi se Dalmatinci i Hercegovci svađali na temu čiji je.

Njegov humor balansira između svakodnevnih situacija i dubljih promišljanja o životu. Cilj mu je pronaći ga u onome što svi proživljavaju. Publiku svih uzrasta - od studenata do sredovječnih muškaraca i baka - uspijeva nasmijati svojom domišljatošću i logikom.

O showu „Ja sam ti takav“
Show „Ja sam ti takav“ dinamičan je i emotivno duboko uronjen u svakodnevni život. Primorac koristi humor kako bi razotkrio obiteljske odnose, kulturne razlike i jezične analize, pri čemu se obraća svima - bez obzira na dob ili društveni status. Ovaj show pruža priliku za smijeh i razmišljanje o životu kroz komične, ali istinite situacije.

„Ne propustite priliku za uživanje u ovom jedinstvenom stand-up iskustvu u Čepinu. Garantiramo večer prepunu smijeha i dobre energije“, poručili su Arlekin Comedyja, organizatora ovog događanja.

Kako do ulaznica?
Ulaznice se prodaju po cijeni od 10 eura. Mogu se kupiti online u sustavima Core event i Adriaticket. Fizička prodaja vrši se na lokacijama: caffe bar Onyx, TISAK+ (Gacka ulica 10), TISAK Media Portanova (uz dodatni trošak od 1 eura). Rezervacije su moguće pozivom na broj 098 977 25 41 (Arlekin Comedy), na kojem je moguće dobiti i dodatne informacije.

In an update to my last HNT post, I'm happy to report that my tongue is better and back in full working order. I'd also like to add that my hubby Rick is a whiner! Stop... let me restate that ... he's a mega whiner! You'd swear that he had never had to go a few days without a blow job before. I finally gave in just to shut him up... Yes my tongue still hurt a little, but his incessant nagging was worse...

Rick and I went out to dinner last night to what has become my favorite new little restaurant, the Max Gill & Grill. My sister introduced me to it a few weeks ago and I've been back four times since. The food is great and their bartender makes the best cocktail in the civilized world, a Blueberry Mojito !
This weeks HNT photo was taken while I was under the influence of several of these wonderful drinks. Rick grabbed the camera and I started performing for him. This picture was my favorite of the bunch. I'm not sure what inclined me to get down on the floor to take my hose off , but it certainly worked out in the end... twice to be exact!

Ok, hopefully it will be back to business tomorrow. I'm finished with the upgrades (at least for now). At first glance you may not notice much difference but I can assure you that it was a lot of work. The site has many new embellishments that should make your browsing experience all the more enjoyable, as well as more productive. There's too much to mention so let's just say it was worth the effort.

Enjoy!

Hello, Looking to find Schematic for the Backup camera so try to fix. Anyone? Thx

Send some encouragement to a friend!

After yesterday's co-op message many of you took action and
we are now 16 shares sold in less than 48 hours since our
first coop announcement message.

This is clearly the fastest moving co-op that we have had as
a team to date, so I urge you to take action NOW before it's
too late.

Use the links below to reserve your share!

http://mlm-successsite.com/training/CoopProgram.html

Let me take some time to explain exactly how our team co-op
will work for those of you that are new to the team.

Once all shares are sold or the co-op window closes I will
set up our team URL rotator with each of our co-op
participants lead capture page and send each participant a
confirmation email.

We will direct all traffic to this URL rotator so that the
traffic is divided equally to all participants.

To ensure the quality of the targeted traffic generated to
each of our co-op participant's lead capture page we will
only send a lead to our team URL rotator AFTER they opt in
to our initial list for marketing.

Once a lead opts into our initial list they will then be
forwarded to our team URL rotator link.

This will increase conversions and ensure the quality of
lead that actually comes to view your site by essentially
forcing each lead to pre-qualify by opting in for access to
your site.

Now we will do this for 3 reasons:

1. Pre qualifies your traffic significantly
2. It will allow me to track our success very closely
3. We will grow a list

Its number three on this list will be the real power behind
this months co-op.

By growing a list of pre qualified leads on the front end we
will be able to email these leads continually over the
course of time and really develop a relationship with them
which will maximize our return.

This is no work for you, but it is a considerable amount of
work for me as the administrator of the co-op so lean on me!

I'm willing to do it.

Our team is my cause. If I can do anything to help our team
grow I'm doing it.

The Guarantee:

I always try to leave as little of a risk to each of you as
a member of our team co-op as I possibly can.

That's why I offer a risk free guarantee.

Here is the 100% money back guarantee that I am extending at
least into this month:

I guarantee each and every share purchased in the co-op will
receive at least 200 unique lead capture page views within
30 days of the start of the co-op promotion.

If I don't provide this you or you are not happy with the
outcome of your participation in our team co-op you'll get
your money back no questions asked!

I want as much of this risk on me and not on you.

Team let's do this together and make history!

Use the links below to reserve your share!

To your success!

Hey guys

I have been in Malaysia for just a week and the time has flown past. Apologies to all for no updates but this is the first day I have been able to get full access to the Internet.

I hope a lot of you listened into Executive Director’s Chris & Julie Chojnowski’s international team training call on Saturday. This is going to be a great tool for anyone building an international business as its available for nearly all time zones at the same time. For members in SE Asia I think this is the first time you have had access to a live training call at a decent hour of the day!

Don’t forget Vice President Ned Rae’s special training call on Saturday as well. This is the call where he gives you the low down on how an ex-machinist built a team of over 20,000 members in just over 2 years!

Coop update – I have checked the stats now I have been back online and we have been having a steady stream of traffic this week while I was offline. This has worked out as I planned which is pleasing. Today you may see a spike in traffic as one of our ezine ads kicks off. I will be chasing up the other one I placed as well as getting some others placed as well. Things will just get busier with this as the weeks progress.

If you have any queries or concerns shoot me an email and I will get back to you ASAP. If you are based in Europe then feel free to contact John Bonnett (jbonnett@skynet.co.uk) who is one of our key leaders in that part of the world.

To Your Success!
