What is it that stops someone from pursuing a dream?Fear!Fear is a great debilitator in the world of entrepreneurialism. It is fear that causes us to halt when we need to step forward. It is fear that views any risk as an insurmountable obstacle. It is fear that will keep the ‘dream’ alive only in the most private of thoughts.Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.
In today’s hectic business environment, it is vital that we are all on the same page, right? But how do we know if we meet those standards? Business owners and executives can avoid the uncertainty, and that’s where ISO 9001 certification comes in.Standardizing Quality SystemsThe ISO, or International Organization for Standardization, was established in 1947 to develop international standards for everything from electronics to management systems. Having over 13,000 sta
Let's take for example a shareware site. For the site to become popular, it has to be always up to date and to contain all the latest releases. So, the webmasters have to search for the new titles and add them to their databases. Many of them offer their visitors the possibility to stay informed about the latest releases using RSS feeds, which contain their names, links and short descriptions of the new releases. Visitors interested in this kind of information subscribe to the RSS feeds, using web-based or desktop aggregators, like Bloglines or SharpReader. All the aggregators query the RSS feeds every couple of hours, which is sufficient for many of the feeds, but not for all of them. It is a common practice that the feeds supply only the last 20 items, but what if, between two queries from the aggregators, appear, let's say, 43 items? The
Which of the following would you chose? Doing your lifework as a permanent occupation or a regular activity performed in exchange for payment. The first is the definition of a career and the second that of a job. Both involve physical or mental effort or activity directed toward the production or accomplishment of something, but in a career you are self directed and at choice. In a job you are generally following orders and passive.If what you do now is more of a job and less o

One day at the office I was taken quite aback when I attempted to open an Excel spreadsheet I'd created and was prompted with the message: File in Use. Open as a read-only file? File in use? What was that all about? It was, after all, my file. Who else would be using it?The answer to that last question was, of course, anyone. Anyone at all could be using it. I worked in a company with 200+ employees and most of our documents were saved on drives with shared access. M
To fully appreciate productivity and improve it, organisations must concentrate on more than just labour. They must also concentrate on more than internal values of productivity, such as units per man hour.I have previously discussed the need to understand the constraints that organisations have before developing units of measure. Lest they make errors, as I have, which make productivity worse by choosing a measure which did not reflect the nature of the constraint.Now I wan
If you run a tire shop or a tire store then everyone who works there needs to know a little bit about sales and a lot about tires. You should have routine classes for all employees so they can answer questions about road hazards, tire wear, inflation pressures and the various companies and brands that you sell. Customers need this information and they want it and desire it.Additionally, every person in the tire store should understand when the customer has a problem or a question
I will now show you a solution to this problem, implemented in PHP, one of the most used scripting languages on websites that are led by large databases. The main idea is that we will compare the date of the first and the 20th item, and if they are equal, we will run an extra query, to also add the other items that appeared in the database in the same day.
Lets suppose that the table from which we want to take the last items is named "products" and has 4 fields: "p_name" (product name), "p_added" (date when the product was added), "p_link" (product link) and "p_description" (product description). We have 2 functions, one that adds an item to the feed, and one that adds the standard elements of a RSS file, and then queries the database for the items added to
