The ability to record and play back video signals is crucial to nearly any video production. The majority of programming on network television is broadcast from a recording, and most of what isn’t relies at least in part on roll-ins, or recorded segments. Thus, we need ways of recording …

Bathrooms serve the same fundamental needs which they always have although many contemporary bathrooms bear little resemblance to the small, plain spaces that many baby boomers grew up with. Just as houses—on average—have increased in size, so have most bathrooms. As a culture, we expect more than we …

Anyone trying to manage by task, not time, should rethink how to do meetings. The fundamental concept of a meeting is sound. You bring people together—in-person or virtually—at an appointed time to reach a decision. If you’re in the rare organization that never has meetings (some medical …

Consider the relationship of wall to opening (solid to void). Always try to maintain the feeling of a substantial wall structure. Traditional buildings did not have reinforced concrete or steel posts and lintels that could span long distances. Load-bearing walls required a structural integrity running from foundation to roof, with …

Teachers use this method constantly. Asking students questions requires them to process the information they have just heard and use it to discover an answer. My mother was an English professor at California State University in Sacramento, and she used this method on me growing up. I hated it! Whenever …

Circulating supply is an estimate of all the coins that are circulating in the open market at this point in time. We generally accept this to mean coins that are in people’s hands or wallets that haven’t been lost. This is what market cap is based on. Bitcoin …

We’ve all done it, haven’t we? Copied and pasted images we find online onto our own websites? It’s fair use, right? It’s okay if I found the picture online? But seriously, we all do it. It’s very difficult, in many cases, to work out who …

Do you go to a lot of bad meetings? Imagine sitting around a table with five other managers, having a meeting. What you’re supposed to be doing is making decisions about how to manage the company into the future. Have you tried listing your organisation in a UK business …

Warlords built their own fiefdoms, as central rule waned. In the big cities, revolutionary sentiment was stoked by intense anger at how foreigners had …

I’ll say it again, because I know that this statement is a tricky one to believe sometimes. So much around us and inside of us says, in so many overt and covert ways, that we are not. But believe me: You are good enough.The summer after my senior …

An “agile” project or agile environment is really a frame of mind, rather than a process. It’s a paradigm or mental model of how we can approach our work. It’s certainly not a methodology. An agile environment simply means – allow project teams to adapt working practices according to …

On the way up, success creates positive momentum. People who believe they are likely to win are also likely to put in the extra effort at difficult moments to ensure that victory. On the way down, failure feeds on itself. As performance starts running on a positive or a negative …
