As we contemplate resolutions for next year, an interesting technique is the Pomodoro Technique. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks.

 

 

LifeHack provides an article to inquire if this technique is good for you. The article provides insight on some proponents for the technique. It’s broken down to who it may assist, those who love it and the technique’s flaws.

They title is Strange Prepper Deaths On The Rise… AGAIN

After discovering the man’s body on Friday, Los Angeles police investigators found more than 1,200 firearms and about two tons of ammunition inside his fiancée’s Pacific Palisades home.

LAPD Capt. William Hayes, who heads the department’s Robbery-Homicide Division, said the private gun collection was worth at least $500,000 and possibly more than $1 million.

“He was either into doomsday survivalism, gun collecting or both,” Hayes said, adding that the man appeared to be wealthy.

LAPD Deputy Chief Kirk Albanese said the man was a collector and there was no evidence he ever sold weapons or was a licensed firearms dealer.

Several people who live in the area where the body was found said the man was known only as “Bob” in the neighborhood and described him as a gun fanatic who claimed to have worked covertly for the government. Police have said the man did not do such work for the government.

His fiancée’s attorney, Harland Braun, previously said the man died in the parking lot of Bristol Farms on Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica on July 4. His fiancée, the lawyer said, wasn’t sure what to do with the body and left it in a vehicle on Palisades Drive while she headed to Oregon. Braun said his client believed that a government agency that the man had claimed to work for would come to collect him. http://ift.tt/1HNERyE

While I am all for professionalism in the workforce, I question the logic with Vox new code of conduct.

Using a non-existing word, called mansplaining. It appears a combination of “man” and the loose word “splaining”, mean to explain. In essence a feminist made up word to describe a man explaining to a women, while being derogatory. This possible derogatory explanation can also be termed mansplaining to others deemed as a minority.
You can’t make this up.
Below is a snippet of the code of conduct. The full code of conduct is found here

There are a host of behaviors and language common on tech teams which are worth noting as specifically unwelcome: Avoid “well, actuallys”—pedantic corrections that are often insulting and unproductive; make an effort not to interrupt your colleagues while they are speaking; never respond with surprise when someone asks for help; and take care neither to patronize your colleagues nor assume complete knowledge of a topic.
This last point is especially important when talking about technical topics: Many women and people of color in the tech industry have many tales of being either mansplained about a field in which they are experts, or else excluded from learning opportunities because a colleague wouldn’t make an effort to answer questions—don’t be that person. Remember that your colleagues may have expertise you are unaware of, and listen at least as much as you speak.

In the tech industry, there is always room to learn, regardless of your work experience. Technology continues to evolve and change as companies adopt systems with growth.
However, one must question why this type of low-brow description within a perceived needed code-of-conduct.
The code appears passive aggressive, and technically, isn’t it also displaying “mansplaining” by its own terminology?
The article found on Breitbart provides a resemblance of this real word company’s new code to a fictional satire tech company. Does a real world company really wish to be known as one following a satire fake media show?
It appears Vox may be one.
Working in a tech environment, I have never heard someone comment with “well actuallys”. However, many times corrections are made, or at a minimum during the genesis of a project questions and answers are heard.
There are better ways to correct or lead someone down a better path of thinking. However, this type of code could present a dangerous path.

Aside of the contortion of determining if you been mansplained, what happens when a male analyst feels slighted by another male analyst, because he was felt embarrassed?
Rather than an analyst speaking up to correct someone technically, they could fear repercussions from the insecure, incorrect analyst. The same code created for the sake of pseudo-progress, has just created an environment hindering progress.

Thoughts on this?

Reviewing some articles in reference to Tsu, and it appears this paying social platform is indeed legitimate. The payout is provided once it hits $100.

Considering I am posting and providing knowledge share within Facebook for free, why not get paid for the same activity on a separate platform?
The platform is by invitation only (remember gmail originally).

Essentially, the revenue acquired by the ads they have on the platform is given to you for your content. They keep a piece of it. However, this is interesting, considering the giant Facebook gives you nothing for your content.

Interestingly, Facebook is blocking any links to Tsu. Something that may raise eyebrows for some, but it actually pushes my interest toward Tsu.

I caught wind of Tsu through the article on Brietbart.
So come one and all, and let’s check this out together.
