(Photo: EPA-EFE)\n\nLONDON – British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Thursday he will likely ask Parliament to approve an election as part of an effort to break a Brexit deadlock.\n\nIt is not clear if the vote, which Johnson wants to hold on Dec. 12, will take place as opposition lawmakers must also back the move.\n\nThey are expected to vote on the measure on Monday. \n\nJohnson''s announcement comes ahead of an expected decision Friday from the European Union over whether to delay Britain''s exit from the bloc for three months. \n\nBritain''s leader has been steadfastly opposed to any extension to the nation''s scheduled Oct. 31 departure date from the EU, although in a letter to the leader of the opposition Labour Party this week he said he would accept a short technical postponement, "say to 15 or 30 November," to allow lawmakers to implement an EU withdrawal bill. \n\nJohnson''s decision to offer to call an election follows lawmakers'' rejection of his plan to rush through an EU exit bill that runs to hundreds of pages in just three days. They want more time to scrutinize the legislation and to make sure it does not leave the door open to a possible "no-deal" Brexit during future exit negotiations with the EU that will run through next year. A "no-deal" Brexit could dramatically harm Britain''s economy. \n\nThe prime minister was forced to ask for an extension to Britain''s EU departure date after Britain''s Parliament passed a law to ward off the threat of a "no-deal" Brexit.\n\nJohnson has repeatedly pledged to finalize the first stage, a transition deal, of Britain''s EU divorce battle by Oct. 31. A second stage will involve negotiating its future relationship with the EU on trade, security and other salient issues.\n','\n',char(10)),'https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2019/10/24/brexit-boris-johnson-eu-extension-withdrawal-deal/4084970002/','24 Oct 2019','4',replace('QUESTION\n\n1.

The\npseudoscorpion is a kind of arachnid (uh-RAK-nid), which means it\nis closely related to spiders, scorpions, and mites.

The process cleared reviews by\nthe GAO and Court of Federal Claims," the Pentagon said in a\nstatement Friday night announcing the award. "All offerors were\ntreated fairly and evaluated consistently with the solicitation''s\nstated evaluation criteria. Prior to the award, the department\nconferred with the DOD Inspector General, which informed the\ndecision to proceed."\n\nAmazon said it was "surprised" by the decision, but declined to\nsay if it would be filing a protest.\n\n"[Amazon Web Services] is the clear leader in cloud computing,\nand a detailed assessment purely on the comparative offerings\nclearly lead to a different conclusion," a spokesperson for the\ncompany said in a statement. "We remain deeply committed to\ncontinuing to innovate for the new digital battlefield where\nsecurity, efficiency, resiliency, and scalability of resources\ncan be the difference between success and failure.”\n\nMicrosoft did not immediately have a statement to provide.\n\nIt''s unclear what impact President Donald Trump''s criticism of\nAmazon and its founder Jeff Bezos had on the final contract\ndecision. Trump allegedly told former Defense Secretary Jim\nMattis that he wanted to "screw" Amazon by denying them the\ncontract, according to a book by former Mattis aide Guy Snodgrass\nthat is set to be released next week.\n\nWhether Amazon protests will depend on what the company hears\nwhen it receives a briefing from the Pentagon on the agency''s\ndecision making on why it selected Microsoft, according to Andrew\nHunter, a former Defense Department acquisition aide and current\nsenior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International\nStudies.\n\n"If it wasn’t close, then Amazon may not protest. If it was\nclose, I think they are pretty likely to protest given all the\nunusual activity on this procurement," Hunter told POLITICO. "My\nguess is that this competition came down to price."\n\nThe winner-take-all project is intended to establish a common\ncomputing and data storage system that will allow the military to\nachieve some of its most advanced technology objectives,\nincluding integrating onto the battlefield more artificial\nintelligence capabilities, which require massive amounts of\nprocessing power and storage that are provided by a sophisticated\ncloud. The program will also allow for secure information sharing\nacross the Defense Department, so warfighting intelligence can be\nseamless shared among different platforms like drones, aircraft\nor ships.\n\nThe Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure program, better known\nas JEDI, could be extended for 10 years and be worth up to $10\nbillion if all contract options are exercised.\n\nBut it is almost certain that Microsoft''s selection will not be\nthe final word for a program that has been politically fraught\nand the target of a series of court challenges and other formal\nprotests.\n\n“There is really no downside to protesting, except perhaps the\nill will it might generate by causing additional delay,” said Tom\nSpoehr, the director of the Heritage Foundation’s Center for\nNational Defense. “Given all the effort that the companies have\nput into their bids, a protest would not be surprising.”\n\nThe competition went through several phases before Amazon and\nMicrosoft emerg

The team of astrophysicists and geochemists presents new evidence that the Earth is not unique.\n\n\nEarth-like planets may be common in the universe, a new UCLA study implies. The team of astrophysicists and geochemists presents new evidence that the Earth is not unique. The study was published in the journal Science on Oct. 18.\n\n"We have just raised the probability that many rocky planets are like the Earth, and there''s a very large number of rocky planets in the universe," said co-author Edward Young, UCLA professor of geochemistry and cosmochemistry.\n\nThe scientists, led by Alexandra Doyle, a UCLA graduate student of geochemistry and astrochemistry, developed a new method to analyze in detail the geochemistry of planets outside of our solar system. Doyle did so by analyzing the elements in rocks from asteroids or rocky planet fragments that orbited six white dwarf stars.\n\n"We''re studying geochemistry in rocks from other stars, which is almost unheard of," Young said.\n\n"Learning the composition of planets outside our solar system is very difficult," said co-author Hilke Schlichting, UCLA associate professor of astrophysics and planetary science. "We used the only method possible -- a method we pioneered -- to determine the geochemistry of rocks outside of the solar system."\n\nWhite dwarf stars are dense, burned-out remnants of normal stars. Their strong gravitational pull causes heavy elements like carbon, oxygen and nitrogen to sink rapidly into their interiors, where the heavy elements cannot be detected by telescopes. The closest white dwarf star Doyle studied is about 200 light-years from Earth and the farthest is 665 light-years away.\n\n"By observing these white dwarfs and the elements present in their atmosphere, we are observing the elements that are in the body that orbited the white dwarf," Doyle said. The white dwarf''s large gravitational pull shreds the asteroid or planet fragment that is orbiting it, and the material falls onto the white dwarf, she said. "Observing a white dwarf is like doing an autopsy on the contents of what it has gobbled in its solar system."\n\nThe data Doyle analyzed were collected by telescopes, mostly from the W.M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii, that space scientists had previously collected for other scientific purposes.\n\n"If I were to just look at a white dwarf star, I would expect to see hydrogen and helium," Doyle said. "But in these data, I also see other materials, such as silicon, magnesium, carbon and oxygen -- material that accreted onto the white dwarfs from bodies that were orbiting them."\n\nWhen iron is oxidized, it shares its electrons with oxygen, forming a chemical bond between them, Young said. "This is called oxidation, and you can see it when metal turns into rust," he said. "Oxygen steals electrons from iron, producing iron oxide rather than iron metal. We measured the amount of iron that got oxidized in these rocks that hit the white dwarf. We studied how much the metal rusts."\n\nRocks from the Earth, Mars and elsewhere in our solar system are similar in their chemical composition and contain a surprisingly high level of oxidized iron, Young said. "We measured the amount of iron that got oxidized in these rocks that hit the white dwarf," he said.\n\nThe sun is made mostly of hydrogen, which does the opposite of oxidizing -- hydrogen adds electrons.\n\nThe researchers said the oxidation of a rocky planet has a significant effect on its atmosphere, its core and the kind of rocks it makes on its surface. "All the chemistry that happens on the surface of the Earth can ultimately be traced back to the oxidation state of the planet," Young said. "The fact that we have oceans and all the ingredients nece

INSERT INTO article VALUES(12,replace('Playboy: Maybe we should pause and get your definition of what a computer is. How do they work?\n\nJobs: Computers are actually pretty simple. We’re sitting here on a bench in this café [for this part of the Interview]. Let’s assume that you understood only the most rudimentary of directions and you asked how to find the rest room. I would have to describe it to you in very specific and precise instructions. I might say, “Scoot sideways two meters off the bench. Stand erect. Lift left foot. Bend left knee until it is horizontal. Extend left foot and shift weight 300 centimeters forward…” and on and on. If you could interpret all those instructions 100 times faster than any other person in this café, you would appear to be a magician: You could run over and grab a milk shake and bring it back and set it on the table and snap your fingers, and I’d think you made the milk shake appear, because it was so fast relative to my perception. That’s exactly what a computer does. It takes these very, very simple-minded instructions—“Go fetch a number, add it to this number, put the result there, perceive if it’s greater than this other number”—but executes them at a rate of, let’s say, 1,000,000 per second. At 1,000,000 per second, the results appear to be magic.\n\nThat’s a simple explanation, and the point is that people really don’t have to understand how computers work.

The patient—a man in his 30s—returned from the country’s city of Wuhan (where the virus appears to have originated) to his home in Snohomish County in Washington State on January 15. He developed symptoms and sought treatment from his doctor on January 19, and a day later, a real time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) test confirmed he had the virus. The patient appears to be doing well and was being treated this week at a hospital in Everett, Wash., and placed in isolation out of an abundance of caution, said a spokesperson for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in a news briefing on Tuesday afternoon.\n\nThe virus, called 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), is known to have infected hundreds of people so far, and Chinese authorities have now reported at least 17 deaths. It was first identified in Wuhan late last year and is believed to have jumped from animals to humans at a local seafood market that also sold other wild animal meat. Authorities have since confirmed cases of human-to-human transmission. The pathogen is a coronavirus, a member of a family of viruses that include severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), which caused major outbreaks in 2003 and 2012, respectively.\n\nCases of 2019-nCoV have been confirmed in several other countries, including Thailand, Japan and South Korea. Three U.S. airports—in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York City—began screening travelers from Wuhan last week. Such measures have now been expanded to two more airports—in Atlanta and Chicago—and passengers traveling to the U.S. from Wuhan will be funneled to those five locations. The risk to the U.S. public is low at this time, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But the agency says it is working closely with other health organizations to contain the virus’s spread.\nAdvertisement\n\nNational Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Anthony Fauci has been been closely following developments related to the new virus. Scientific American spoke with Fauci about 2019-nCoV’s likely mode of transmission, its similarity to other coronaviruses and the question of whether a vaccine is on the horizon.\n\n[An edited transcript of the conversation follows.]\n\nDo we know how the U.S. patient contracted the virus?\n\nHe was not in any market where there may have been an animal reservoir, and he does not recall coming into contact with someone who was ill. That’s not surprising: often people contract respiratory infections without knowing the definite exposure source. But he was in Wuhan.\n\nIs the most likely source of this virus an animal market in Wuhan?\nAdvertisement\n\nIt almost certainly came from an animal—almost certainly.\n\nDo you suspect the virus is transmitted via a respiratory route?\n\nA respiratory infection is almost certainly transmitted through droplets. Respiratory spread is a very good guess. We have not definitively proved that the virus entered through the respiratory tract, but it is highly likely. When you have symptoms of fever, cough, infiltrates in the lung, and respiratory symptoms, historically, respiratory is the route.\nnewsletter promo\n\nHow similar or different is the virus from other coronaviruses such as SARS or MERS?\n\nFirst of all, it’s a coronavirus, the same family as SARS. It has some of the same molecular homology as SARS. It’s closer to SARS than it is to MERS. But it isn’t overwhelmingly close.

Become a fan of The Energy Project on Facebook and connect with Tony at Twitter.com/TonySchwartz and Twitter.com/Energy_Project.)\n\nWhy is it that between 25% and 50% of people report feeling overwhelmed or burned out at work?\n\nIt’s not just the number of hours we’re working, but also the fact that we spend too many continuous hours juggling too many things at the same time.\n\nWhat we’ve lost, above all, are stopping points, finish lines and boundaries. Technology has blurred them beyond recognition. Wherever we go, our work follows us, on our digital devices, ever insistent and intrusive. It’s like an itch we can’t resist scratching, even though scratching invariably makes it worse.\n\nTell the truth: Do you answer email during conference calls (and sometimes even during calls with one other person)? Do you bring your laptop to meetings and then pretend you’re taking notes while you surf the net? Do you eat lunch at your desk? Do you make calls while you’re driving, and even send the occasional text, even though you know you shouldn’t?\n\nThe biggest cost — assuming you don’t crash — is to your productivity. In part, that’s a simple consequence of splitting your attention, so that you’re partially engaged in multiple activities but rarely fully engaged in any one. In part, it’s because when you switch away from a primary task to do something else, you’re increasing the time it takes to finish that task by an average of 25 per cent.\n\nBut most insidiously, it’s because if you’re always doing something, you’re relentlessly burning down your available reservoir of energy over the course of every day, so you have less available with every passing hour.\n\nI know this from my own experience. I get two to three times as much writing accomplished when I focus without interruption for a designated period of time and then take a real break, away from my desk. The best way for an organization to fuel higher productivity and more innovative thinking is to strongly encourage finite periods of absorbed focus, as well as shorter periods of real renewal.\n\nIf you’re a manager, here are three policies worth promoting:\n\n1. Maintain meeting discipline. Schedule meetings for 45 minutes, rather than an hour or longer, so participants can stay focused, take time afterward to reflect on what’s been discussed, and recover before the next obligation. Start all meetings at a precise time, end at a precise time, and insist that all digital devices be turned off throughout the meeting.\n\n2. Stop demanding or expecting instant responsiveness at every moment of the day. It forces your people into reactive mode, fractures their attention, and makes it difficult for them to sustain attention on their priorities. Let them turn off their email at certain times. If it’s urgent, you can call them — but that won’t happen very often.\n\n3. Encourage renewal. Create at least one time during the day when you encourage your people to stop working and take a break. Offer a midafternoon class in yoga, or meditation, organize a group walk or workout, or consider creating a renewal room where people can relax, or take a nap.\n\nIt’s also up to individuals to set their own boundaries. Consider these three behaviors for yourself:\n\n1. Do the most important thing first in the morning, preferably without interruption, for 60 to 90 minutes, with a clear start and stop time. If possible, work in a private space during this period, or with sound-reducing earphones. Finally, resist every impulse to distraction, knowing that you have a designated stopping point. The more absorbed you can get, the more productive you’ll be. When you’re done, take at least a few minutes to renew.\n\n2. Establish regular, scheduled times to think more long term, creatively, or strategically. If you don’t, you<6F>

I ventured to ask him to come home to meat-tea, and take pot-luck. I did not think he would accept such a humble invitation; but he did, saying, in a most friendly way, he would rather “peck” with us than by himself. I said: “We had better get into this blue ’bus.” He replied: “No blue-bussing for me. I have had enough of the blues lately. I lost a cool ‘thou’ over the Copper Scare.

I saw Carrie, through the panels of ground-glass (with stars), rushing upstairs. I told Mr. Franching to wait at the door while I went round to the side. There I saw the grocer’s boy actually picking off the paint on the door, which had formed into blisters. No time to reprove him; so went round and effected an entrance through the kitchen window. I let in Mr. Franching, and showed him into the drawing-room. I went upstairs to Carrie, who was changing her dress, and told her I had persuaded Mr. Franching to come home.

INSERT INTO article VALUES(17,replace('Why Writing Works Better Than Typing\n\nMelanie Pinola\n\nThere may also be a scientific basis for the pen’s superiority over the keyboard when it comes to writing development and cognitive functions. Dr. Virginia Berniger, who studies reading and writing systems and their relationship to learning processes, found that children’s writing ability was consistently better (they wrote more, faster, and more complete sentences) when they used a pen rather than a keyboard; these are, of course, subjects without a penchant for using either tool. We also previously covered the WSJ article that connected handwriting and cognitive abilities; in one of the studies cited, adults learned new symbols and graphic shapes better when they reproduced them with pen-and-paper instead of typing them.\n\nThe difference, Berniger notes, may lie in the fact that with writing, you use your hand to form the letters (and connect them), thereby more actively engaging the brain in the process. Typing, on the other hand, involves just selecting letters by pressing identical-looking keys.\n\nOf course, whether the pen or the keyboard is better for you depends on your personal experience and comfort with these tools. As a compromise, perhaps we should all get stylus-friendly tablet PCs or digital pens.\n','\n',char(10)),'https://lifehacker.com/why-you-learn-more-effectively-by-writing-than-by-typin-5738093','12 Jul 2020','3',replace('QUESTION\n\nPen always works better than keyboard in terms of writing ability development.

In today''s world, where one of the most-talked about prospects for collapse is an epidemic of infectious disease, it is worth remembering that perhaps we already have the technological strategy to avoid it — the Internet.\n\nRemote working, made possible by the Internet (‘telepresence’), is already a key component of national and business pandemic plans. Telepresence can inhibit viral transmission by reducing human-to-human contact. Prepared organizations can leverage telepresence to allow continued productivity and functioning of supply chains during an outbreak.\n\nPast societies often reacted to epidemics by bunching together, increasing density and transmission rates. In medieval Europe, for example, warring religious factions demonstrated solidarity in the face of a plague by marching together in the streets. And Native Americans expressed goodwill by gathering in the teepees of those infected with smallpox. But if we are well-prepared when an epidemic arrives, we can fluidly shift into a self-quarantined, telepresent society in which microbes fail by dint of host sparseness.\n\nWhatever the social ills of increased isolation in our computer age, they may bode worse for the microbes than for us.\n\n','\n',char(10)),'https://doi.org/10.1038/441574c','13 Jul 2020','3',replace('QUESTION\n\nWhat is the tool mentioned by the author for avoiding society collpase due to epidemic?\n\nANSWER\n\nThe Internet.\n','\n',char(10)));

INSERT INTO article VALUES(29,replace('Number One Reason Why Projects Fail\n\nBy Neal Whitten\n\nThis is a good time to share with you what I believe may be a profound\nassertion. We have all seen lists touting the top 10 reasons why\nprojects fail. The usual suspects include weak requirements, scope\ncreep, lack of user involvement, unreliable estimates, incomplete\nstaffing, poor communications, weak senior stakeholder support and\nothers. However, from my experience, these lists miss the biggest\nreason — the number one reason — why projects fail: Because the\nproject manager does not manage to his or her top three priorities on\na daily basis.\n\nThis is so important that I’m going to repeat it. The number one\nreason why projects fail is that the project manager does not manage\nto his or her top three priorities on a daily basis. You might be\nwondering how come I’m so smart to get this while it appears that\nothers haven’t? Well, I’m not that smart, but I am an old guy who has\nbeen around a long time. Longevity and persistence helps me pick up\nthings. For example, over the years I have performed reviews on\nhundreds of projects in trouble. When I do, I always conclude with\nidentifying the top three problems — the top three priorities — that\nthe project manager needs to address immediately. When I examine\nthese top three lists, the ah-ha moment presents itself. The top\nitems on the lists almost always should have been resolved not days\nearlier but weeks or months earlier — sometimes years depending on the\nduration of the project.\n\nThe lists show that the project managers were not effectively focusing\non their top three priorities on a daily basis; otherwise, these\nproblems would have been resolved or under control. So, again, the\nnumber one reason why projects fail is that the project manager does\nnot manage to his or her top three priorities on a daily basis.

Following several unpleasant encounters between the two during the remodeling project, a major confrontation occurs as the carpenter has completed work, and the yacht is preparing to leave port.\n\nWhile the carpenter is demonstrating the features of his work, the rich, arrogant, JoAnna asks what the closet is made of.

The carpenter responds that if she wanted the closet to be made out of cedar, she should have asked for cedar. He tells her that he would be glad to make the closet out of cedar, but that his estimate would be more than double because he would have to redo the whole project.

For, it not being to be imagined that a child will often, if ever, dispute his father’s present command in any particular instance; and the father not interposing his absolute authority, in peremptory rules, concerning either childish or indifferent actions, wherein his son is to have his liberty; or concerning his learning or improvement, wherein there is no compulsion to be used; there remains only the prohibition of some vicious actions, wherein a child is capable of obstinacy, and consequently can deserve beating: and so there will be but very few occasions of that discipline to be used by any one, who considers well, and orders his child’s education as it should be. \n\nFor the first seven years, what vices can a child be guilty of, but lying, or some ill-natured tricks; the repeated commission whereof, after his father’s direct command against it, shall bring him into the condemnation of obstinacy, and the chastisement of the rod? If any vicious inclination in him be, in the first appearance and instances of it, treated as it should be, first, with your wonder; and then, if returning again a second time, discountenanced with the severe brow of the father, tutor, and all about him, and a treatment suitable to the state of discredit before mentioned; and this continued till he be made sensible and ashamed of his fault; I imagine there will be no need of any other correction, nor ever any occasion to come to blows. \n\nThe necessity of such chastisement is usually the consequence only of former indulgences or neglects. If vicious inclinations were watched from the beginning, and the first irregularities which they caused, corrected by those gentler ways, we should seldom have to do with more than one disorder at once; which would be easily set right without any stir or noise, and not require so harsh a discipline as beating. Thus, one by one, as they appeared, they might all be weeded out, without any signs or memory that ever they had been there. But we letting their faults (by indulging and humouring our little ones) grow up, till they are sturdy and numerous, and the deformity of them makes us ashamed and uneasy; we are fain to come to the plough and the harrow; the spade and the pick-ax must go deep to come at the roots, and all the force, skill, and diligence we can use, is scarce enough to cleanse the vitiated seed-plat, overgrown with weeds, and restore us the hopes of fruits to reward our pains in its season.','\n',char(10)),'Source: https://oll.libertyfund.org/titles/locke-the-works-vol-8-some-thoughts-concerning-education-posthumous-works-familiar-letters','2 Sep 2020','4',replace('QUESTION\n\nBeating is the most effective method of correcting children.\nIs this statement true?\n\n\nANSWER\n\nFalse.','\n',char(10)));

INSERT INTO article VALUES(43,replace('How to Learn to Program\n\nOctober 9, 2018\n\n\nOne question that people ask me all the time is, “How do I become a programmer?” Or, “How do I learn to program?” There are a lot of possible answers to this, depending on the person and how you want to go about it. I figured that since people ask me this so often, I had better finally write an article about it.\n\n\nUniversity\nThe most commonly-taught subject that’s related to programming in universities is called “computer science.” I say that it’s related to programming because very little of what people learn in most computer science courses will actually end up being useful in their day-to-day lives as a professional, working programmer. That’s not always true—there are some fields where computer science comes very much in handy. But in general, the field we call “software engineering” or “development” is different than what universities cover as “computer science.”\n\nUsually, the basics of computer science that universities cover are very useful. I went to university and studied computer science, and my first two years of study were very useful to me, especially the first few classes. I got a great grounding in some of the basic concepts of software development.\n\nWhat I didn’t realize at the time, though, is that computer science is only partly a study of programming. The other part is a study of algorithms. (For those who are reading this and don’t know, an algorithm is a series of steps for accomplishing some task. That’s really all it means. Even a shopping list is a sort of algorithm.) The study of algorithms usually involves learning the most efficient way to do something. That is, figuring out how to accomplish a task like sorting a list of integers using the fewest number of steps or using the least amount of memory. There are some problems that can’t be solved by computers at all unless you know the right algorithm, and once in a while you run into a problem in programming that requires this knowledge. So it does have some use. But solving these problems of algorithms is not what you will be spending most of your time doing.\n\nEven for those universities that offer courses in “software engineering,” they are rarely a full experience of what the real world will be like. The reason is that most courses only take a few months at most, and make you collaborate with only a few people at best, on a codebase of a few thousand lines of code. In the real world, you will be working with a large number of people on a codebase that will last for years that is at least tens of thousands of lines of code. However, these software engineering courses are still far better than nothing.\n\nAll this said, there are a few universities that do turn out excellent programmers, whether that be by computer science courses or software engineering courses. And there is always some value in learning to program by taking classes at a university. At the very least, being at a university provides a structure and discipline that encourages you to get through the class.\n\n','\n',char(10)),'Source: https://www.codesimplicity.com/post/how-to-learn-to-program','5 Oct 2020','4',replace('QUESTION\n\nWhat is an algorithm?\n\n\nANSWER\n\nA series of steps for accomplishing some task.\n','\n',char(10)));

It’s a Y2K project, but it could be any project.\n\nOutsider: “Will your project complete on time?”\nPM: “We have no choice.”\nOutsider: “I didn’t ask if you had a choice. I asked will you complete on time?”\nPM: “This is an important project. There’s a lot riding on the success of this project. We must complete on time.”\n\n(Translation: “No, we won’t complete on time. Anybody with any project experience knows this.”)\n\nIs this a Y2K-unique problem? No—it’s common on most projects. The primary reason it’s so common on Y2K projects is that most of the project managers and other project leaders on these projects were trained on pre-Y2K projects. Let me explain.\n\nOne of the most common problems with projects is taking on too much work—attempting to exceed requirements rather than meet minimum requirements. This contributes to a plethora of ill effects, including late deliveries, budget overruns, low morale and poor quality. Attempting to cram the proverbial 10 pounds into a 5-pound sack is a common occurrence.\n\nOne solution is to build products that meet minimum requirements. You may be thinking that such a product would have low appeal to your client or customers, but it’s not what you think.\n\n“Meet minimum requirements” means give the client what he or she needs to be successful; but don’t provide unessential function. Additional function is what future releases and future business opportunities are all about. It is important to earn the reputation for being reliable in meeting customer commitments and then be trusted to continue to upgrade on a routine, predictable basis. This is good business.\n\nYou say you always only provide essential function? For most of us, most times, that’s not true. Have you ever faced slipped delivery dates and chosen to remove some of the function originally planned? When the project began, everyone swore that all the planned function was essential. Yet, as the project progressed—and got further behind schedule—some of that essential function no longer looked so essential.\n\nWe’ll use a Y2K project as an example, because Y2K projects are at a heightened focus these days—and, interestingly enough, the No. 2 problem with Y2K projects is that they are taking on too much work (the No. 1 problem is that too many projects are starting too late). Here’s what should occur.\nLet’s say you’ve identified 100 functions (enhancements or changes) that need to be made in your company’s programs. You know that all 100 functions are desirable, but you recognize that your limited resources won’t allow all the functions to be ready by the hoped-for date. You find that 40 functions fall within the high-priority category, 30 as medium and 30 as low. You build a project plan to implement only the 40 high priorities. Why? Because you don’t want to jeopardize the timely completion of these 40 by building a plan to include the other 60 functions—all of lesser importance and, for purposes of illustration, deemed nonessential.\n\nYou might be thinking that you should build a plan with all 100 functions and later, if (actually, when) the project gets into trouble, you can always back out of lesser-priority function. Don’t go there! This foolish plan requires spending valuable time, dollars and resources working on other-than-the-most-important functions. Moreover, when you back out, it costs again. What needs to be done is to build a plan that significantly reduces rework. This means the original plan must be only essential function.\n\nWhat about the other 60? You carefully look these over and put work-arounds in place that, although not optimal, can get you through until more su

The simple fact is this election is far from over. Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor. In Pennsylvania, for example, our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process. Legal votes decide who is president, not the news media.\n\n“Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated. The American People are entitled to an honest election: that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots. This is the only way to ensure the public has full confidence in our election. It remains shocking that the Biden campaign refuses to agree with this basic principle and wants ballots counted even if they are fraudulent, manufactured, or cast by ineligible or deceased voters. Only a party engaged in wrongdoing would unlawfully keep observers out of the count room – and then fight in court to block their access.\n\n“So what is Biden hiding? I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands.”\n\nThe statement was issued while Trump was golfing at his club in Virginia.','\n',char(10)),'Source: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/read-president-donald-trumps-full-statement-on-the-election-results-vowing-to-head-to-the-courts','20 Nov 2020','4',replace('QUESTION\n\nWho wrote the above text?\n\nANSWER\n\nTrump.\n','\n',char(10)));

INSERT INTO article VALUES(48,replace('5 A Day: what counts?\n-Eat well\n\n\n\nAlmost all fruit and vegetables count towards your 5 A Day, so it may be easier than you think to get your recommended daily amount.\n\nAt a glance: what counts?\n--------------------------\n \n- 80g of fresh, canned or frozen fruit and vegetables counts as 1 portion of your 5 A Day. Opt for tinned or canned fruit and vegetables in natural juice or water, with no added sugar or salt.\n\n- 30g of dried fruit (this is equivalent to around 80g of fresh fruit) counts as 1 portion of your 5 A Day. Dried fruit should be eaten at mealtimes, not as a between-meal snack, to reduce the risk of tooth decay.\n\nSome portions only count once in a day:\n\n- 150ml of fruit juice, vegetable juice or smoothie. Limit the amount you drink to a combined total of 150ml a day. Crushing fruit and vegetables into juice and smoothies releases the sugars they contain, which can damage teeth. Juices and smoothies should be consumed at mealtimes, not as a between-meal snack, to reduce the risk of tooth decay.\n\n- 80g of beans and pulses. These only count once as part of your 5 A Day, no matter how many you eat. This is because although they''re a good source of fibre, they contain fewer nutrients than other fruits and vegetables.\n\n\nDifferent types of fruit and veg\n--------------------------------\n\nFruit and vegetables don''t have to be fresh to count as a portion. Nor do they have to be eaten on their own: they also count if they''re part of a meal or dish.\n\nThese all also count towards your 5 A Day:\n\nFrozen fruit and vegetables.\n\nTinned or canned fruit and vegetables. Buy ones tinned in natural juice or water, with no added sugar or salt.\nFruit and vegetables cooked in dishes such as soups, stews or pasta.\nA 30g portion of dried fruit, such as currants, dates, sultanas and figs, counts as 1 of your 5 A Day, but should be eaten at mealtimes, not as a between-meal snack, to reduce the impact on teeth.\nFruit and vegetables in convenience foods, such as ready meals and shop-bought pasta sauces, soups and puddings.\nSome ready-made foods are high in salt, sugar and fat, so only have them occasionally or in small amounts.\n\nYou can find the salt, sugar and fat content of ready-made foods on the label.\n\n\nDrinks and 5 A Day\n------------------\n\nKeep an eye on the amount of fruit juice and smoothies you drink. The current advice is to limit consumption of fruit or vegetable juices and smoothies to a combined total of 150ml a day (1 portion). Crushing fruit into juice releases the sugars they contain, which can damage teeth. Even unsweetened fruit juice and smoothies are sugary, so limit these to a combined total of 150ml a day.\nDiluting 150ml of fruit juice with water (still or sparkling) can make it go further.\nRemember to keep fruit juice and smoothies to mealtimes to reduce the impact on teeth.\n\n\nDo potatoes count towards my 5 A Day?\n--------------------------------------\n\nNo. Potatoes are a starchy food and a great source of energy, fibre, B vitamins and potassium. \n\nIn the UK, we get a lot of our vitamin C from potatoes. Although they typically only contain around 11 to 16mg of vitamin C per 100g of potatoes, we generally eat a lot of them.\n\nWhen eaten as part of a meal, potatoes are generally used in place of other sources of starch, such as bread, pasta or rice. Because of this, they don''t count towards your 5 A Day.\n\nOther vegetables that don''t count towards your 5 A Day are yams, cassava and plantain. They''re also usually eaten as starchy foods.\n\nSweet potatoes, parsnips, swedes and turnips do count towards your 5 A Day because they''re usually eaten in addition to the starchy food part of the meal.\n\nPotatoes play an important role in your diet, even if they don''t count towards your 5 A Day. It''s best to eat them without any added salt or fat. \n\nThey''re also a good source of fibre, so leave the skins on where possible to keep in more of the fibre and vitamins.\n\nFor example, if you''re having boiled potatoes or a jacket

INSERT INTO article VALUES(49,replace('Online Conversations & Website Engagement\n\n3 Jul 2021\n\n\nI was reading a post on online conversations by Manu last night, and the whole thing resonated with me. So I wanted to jot down my thoughts about online conversations and why I think it’s broken.\n\n"I’ll keep saying it till the day I die, or until someone invents something better: private conversations via email. If you care about discussing something with someone, like genuinely care, try contacting them directly, in private, via email."\n\n -- Manu Moreale\n\n\nA couple of years ago, I removed all comments from this site. It’s a WordPress site, so enabling comments is trivial. However, I found that the vast majority of the comments I was getting were along the lines of this:\n\n Some Internet Guy\n\n 21 May 2020\n\n This is a great post, I wrote something similar on my site. Check it out…\n\n https://someinternetguy.com/my-unrelated-post\n\n\nIf it wasn’t my pal Some Internet Guy it was spam comments, usually about viagra, or sometimes trolls wishing me dead. Which is always nice. 😍\n\nLukily for me Akismet caught most of the spam, but I still had to wade through Some Internet Guy and his ilk’s useless comments on a daily basis.\n\n\nI still wanted onlined conversations\n-------------------------------------\n\nProblem was, dispite all the useless comments, I still wanted the engagement from genuine readers, as that’s the main reason I write content. So I replaced the comment form with a simple button that said Reply via email, which linked to my email address.\n\n\nAt first I wasn’t sure it would work. But a couple years on, I’m happy to report that it has. I’m sure I miss many useful comments, as a lot of people are less likely to send an email than write a comment. Mainly because there’s more involved in the latter, I think.\n\nBut that’s precisely why it has worked (I think). You see, this very small barrier of having to click a button, compose an email and send it just to me means many don’t bother. Those that do aren’t looking for traffic to their site, like Some Internet Guy. They’re genuinely interested in the subject of the post, and just want to discuss it further.\n\nI’ve had email conversations last weeks, and some people who have emailed me have kinda become friends off the back of it. I don’t think that would have happened if I was still using comments.\n\nI emailed Manu after reading his post, and we had a nice little conversation. He checked out my posts and we had a short chat about some stuff on this blog that he had thoughts on. It was a great connection, as are many of the engagements I have as a result of people emailing me.\n\nAnd don’t get me started on how much time it has saved me by not having to wade through useless comments every. Single. Day.\n\nClosing thoughts\n----------------\n\n\nI’m really happy I decided to remove comments from this site. If you have comments on your site, and you’re having similar problems to me (or if you’re using the horrendous Disqus) maybe consider doing the same?\n\nI’m not saying it will definitely work for you, but it has for me, and it seems to have done the trick for Manu too.\n\nAre you all in on comments on your site? Or do you have nothing at all? Please do let me know your thoughts using the — you guessed it — email button below. 😁\n','\n',char(10)),'Source: https://kevq.uk/online-conversations-website-engagement/','17 Jul 2021','3',replace('QUESTION\n\nWhy did the author remove comments from his web site?\n','\n',char(10)));

INSERT INTO article VALUES(50,replace('Photos don’t capture the moment\n\nChad Moore\n\n7 June 2021\n\nI took this picture today, June 07 2021 around sunrise. When I looked at the picture on my phone, I thought to myself, “this picture doesnt do this sunrise justice”. I continiued to ruminate… Maybe I need to be a better iPhone photographer… I am sure there are tutorials and courses for that… Maybe I need a better camera. A real camera. Which one? How much does it cost? What things that I have now, could I sell to offset the spend? Maybe I should talk to my friends who are photographers…\n\nAnd so on, heading straight down a rabbit hole because I thought there was something lacking in me. My skills were not up to it. My tools aren’t “right”. I started walking and sat with these feelings. If I was literally the best photographer in the world, and I had the best and most perfect camera for sunrise photos at the beach, how much better would my picture be? Could I really capture the moment perfectly?\n\nYes, my picture would be better. But no, I wouldn’t be able to perfectly capture the moment.\n\nThe camera is a marvel of technology, and photos are great artifacts of what’s around us. What we’re experiencing. There are amazingly skilled photographers who can use their art and science to create emotionally moving imagery.\n\nBut photographs can’t capture the moment. Photos are visual representations of those moments, and they help us remember them.\n\nThe camera can’t capture the heat and humidity. The sounds of the waves and the birds. The smell of the ocean. The background noise of people and dogs on the beach. They can’t capture what’s in our heads at the moment.\n\nSo, I look at this picture as a remembrance of all those things I was experiencing this morning. Not as a perfect capture of it.\n\n','\n',char(10)),'Source: https://www.chadmoore.net/photos-are-remembrances','17 Jul 2021','4',replace('QUESTION\n\nWhat things a camera cannot do?\n','\n',char(10)));
