Le Favole () sono una raccolta di favole morali scritte da Esopo nel VI secolo a.C.

La raccolta

Esopo è considerato l'iniziatore della favola come forma letteraria scritta. Per "Favole di Esopo" (in lingua greca ) si intende la raccolta di 358 favole contenute nell'edizione critica curata da Émile Chambry costituite probabilmente da un nucleo primario di favole a cui, nel corso dei secoli, se ne sono aggiunte altre di varia origine. Le favole di Esopo si possono descrivere come archetipiche; la stessa definizione corrente di "favola" è basata principalmente sulla favola esopica. Si tratta di componimenti brevi, in genere con personaggi che sono animali personificati, con lo scopo esplicito di comunicare una morale.

Morale
Ciascuna favola possiede alla fine un motto di spirito o una morale, atta ad educare i ragazzi ai valori della vita, a comportarsi nel giusto verso e a rifuggire il pericolo e le cattive azioni. Nelle favole sono usate varie metafore e trasformazioni per rappresentare la vita di tutti i giorni in Grecia. La fortuna di Esopo è stata infatti ripresa da Fedro e poi da Igino.

Le favole
Si riportano i dettagli di alcune delle favole più famose di Esopo, tradotte per la prima volta in italiano da Accio Zucco intorno al XV secolo.

La volpe e l'uva

Una volpe non riesce a prendere dei grappoli d'uva su un albero, saltando con tutte le sue forze. Alla fine se ne va, dicendo che sono acerbe. La morale dice che non bisogna giudicare malevolmente ciò che l'uomo non riesce a compiere nella propria vita.

La cicala e la formica

Una cicala canta tutta l'estate, prendendo in giro delle formiche che raccolgono le provviste. Continua nel suo ozio, incurante degli avvertimenti riguardo alla pericolosità dell'inverno, quando non ci sarà niente da mangiare. Giunge l'inverno, e la cicala corre dalle formiche a chiedere da mangiare, ma è respinta, morendo. La morale dice che non bisogna essere pigri.

Al lupo! Al lupo!

Un contadino si diverte a spaventare i paesani, gridando che un lupo giunge a devastare il gregge. Dopo che ha varie volte chiamato invano al lupo, al lupo, giunge veramente un lupo che gli divora le pecore. Ma il contadino, pur chiamando in aiuto gli uomini, rimane solo, perché non è più creduto, e muore assieme alle pecore.
La morale è che a furia di dire bugie non si viene creduti quando si dice la verità.

La lepre e la tartaruga

Durante una gara di corsa, una lepre velocissima incontra una tartaruga che vuole gareggiare, e si mette a prenderla in giro. La tartaruga tuttavia è decisa a correre, e la gara inizia. La lepre corre più veloce, ma alla fine, sapendo che ce la farà, decide di riposare. La tartaruga, furba, la sorpassa di nascosto, e alla fine vince la gara.
La storia insegna al mondo che non è saggio sottovalutare il proprio avversario.

Congratulations to Tom and Sarah for their victory in the End of Season mini series. With some of the strongest tides of the season and only a light breeze tactics played a great part in both days racing. With Tom and Sarah taking a victory in week one of over 35 minutes as the rest of the fleet tried to beat through the tide to round the first mark time and time again. Race 2 & 3 saw a strengthening of the wind and lap times back to 20 minutes Martin taking bullets in both races but the 505 still taking a 2nd and 3rd. Week 2 and still not much breeze and the tide as furious as the previous week, Just before the race start the course was shortened to try and accommodate the tide, a good job too as it was still a struggle. Chris took an easy Win in the first race and it looked like the wind was picking up for race 2. Looks can be deceiving and Phil and Lorna headed for home before the end on the first beat, the rest battled on with race team eventually deciding to finish after 1 lap a decision universally approved. Tom managed to sneak past Chris to take the honours as the rest of the fleet limped across the line. After lunch the ramp was soon lifted thanks to all.
So hopefully see you all Saturday for the final clear up.
The D-One Eastern Championship-2015 was held at Gorleston over 27/28 June as part of the Gorleston Beach Regatta. This mixed regatta has huge history, evidenced in club correspondence with The Admiralty, who used annually to lay twelve special flagged Race-Cans in circular compass-configuration, 1½-mile diameter, around a central one; …. those were the days …. !
D-One sailors had had over two weeks of intense lead-up training at their Grafham Open, and then their "Suntouched" Championships at Highcliffe.
Shifty winds and a big sea made for interesting sailing conditions today; 12 boats raced in the 4th spring series with a wind undecided between the south and the west. The start line was set up just past the ravine with the windward mark set beyond the wreck buoy, where sailors reported increased wave size. Racing was very dependent on choice of course and whether sailors found the wind or stayed upright; giving some exciting racing with lead boats changing with each lap. Race 1, 1st lap had 4 boats with 4 seconds between them; Chris and Martin in the D1's, and Richard and Dave in the 400's, 2nd lap Martin went out to sea increasing his lead by 40 seconds clear of Dave and John in the 400. Race 2 Dave and John capsized in the 400 leaving the way clear for the D1's, and Richard and Robyn in the 400 had a stonker of a second lap. In race 3 D1's got away only for Martin to capsize just at the leeward mark on the 1st lap, Martin caught the fleet up, going out to sea on the last downward leg, finding the wind (we could hear him humming on the start line boat) and beating Steve in his D1 by 1 second, an exciting finish too between the two Richards in the 400's with Richard and Robyn taking it by 1 second. A good days racing.
A fresh breeze greeted everyone as they arrived on the beach for the second weekend of the Watling Plate series. 11 boats launched in what was to be an exciting days racing. With the wind in a South Easterly direction the start line was set off the beach in pleasant sailing conditions. Apparently this was not however the case at the windward mark! After a clean start there was a tight battle between Richard Fryer and Carol Smalls in the RS400 and the 2 lead D-ONES helmed by Chris Sallis and Martyn Browne throughout the race. Both D-ONEs dropped their spinnaker early on one of the down wind legs allowing Richard Fryer to take the win by 6 seconds. Followed by the D-ONEs.
There were a few capsizes at the windward mark and several wobbly gybes in what was described as 'very wavy out there' by several sailors, which led to less takers for the next race. Nick Favell led the fleet round the first two marks of the triangular course before being overhauled by the lead asymmetrics. 2 laps later as the finishing boats were approaching the finish line it was all down to the last 30 seconds. Martyn somehow managed to survive a massively wobbly gybe and make the line with inches to spare on the committee boat to take the win, with Richard Fryer taking 2nd place and Chris Sallis taking 3rd, Nick Favell took his second 4th of the day. With the wind and waves building the fleet went in for pie!
A big thank you to Josh and John who performed excellently assisting the fleet.
Race officers have been asked to provide a report for the website and in the tragic circumstances of last Sunday and the loss of Peter Johnson, it is a report that is difficult to write. Peter was in good form on the committee boat on a very cold day and on the way back, we agreed that we had managed to give competitors some good courses in spite of a shifty N/NE Force 3-4. He felt that we had done a pretty good job. His collapse after coming ashore was a terrible blow to all who knew him.
As racing had been postponed the previous Sunday, boats were racing in both the first round of the Watling Club and for the Start of Season Race. The three races were run back to back in the Watling Plate format of sausage, triangle and reverse Olympic with the wind getting up well into F4 in the second race. It was windy enough to keep the safety boat busy with Steve Shaw in his Hobie Tiger training up his new crew, Kate Batty by capsizing with and without the kite! Twelve boats got to the line for the start but unfortunately the Fireball was damaged on launching and was not able to compete. There was some very close racing between the top five but in the end the RS500 sailed by Jamie Freeman and Keith Sykes won the first and third races to take the series with two wins from Chris Sallis (3 pts) in his D1 having just edged out Martin Browne D1 (5pts) by 5 seconds in the final race with the third D1 of Ben Falat (7 pts) finishing 4th.
Sometimes the results don't matter and I think that we all feel that this was one of them.

Viv Straw is the President of the Planning Institute Australia (ACT Division). This is the fifth in a series of articles exploring themes derived from Randolph Hester and others, developing an Australian Ecological Democracy theme.
TT: Viv in our first article you talked about four global megatrends, city centre living becoming more popular, technology driving the new economy, a diversity of land uses and the re-emergence of mass transit as an alternative to connecting people to other parts of the city; then you developed the role of vision and Governance: what role does location have in all of this?
VS: No place exists in isolation; every place is connected to its hinterland, other urban areas, food sources and water supplies and to other people and information. How these connections function is fundamental to the liveability and efficiency of the city. The most liveable cities are ones that facilitate freedom of movement and access for everyone.
TT: One of the characteristics of Canberra is that it is incredibly reliant on private transport, how does that affect us?
VS: Well there are four parts to this, the internal connections and the connections with the rest of humanity and resources. But we also need physical connections and telecommunications systems.
Interestingly, the better our electronics communications become, the more we want to be in close physical proximity to each other. It is so much easier today to organise impromptu meetings. It is all about the way we share goods and services.
TT: But, what about our internal physical connections?
VS: Well this is a complex area, but it is vital to get it right. Private transport provides more flexibility than large scale mass transit systems and there are occupations and life circumstances and urban structures that almost dictate the car, bike or walking modes for people. The sealed road is one of the great success stories of the last century, but the car is not available to everyone and there are costs.
On the other hand mass transport systems will not reach into the low density suburbs, but for those who are not interested or capable of owning a car, public transport is essential. It enables people who don't have direct access to a car, nearly 40% of the population to travel. So the subsidy to public transport can be seen as an input into productivity.
In 2011 we subsidised public transport to the tune of about $3billion, and private car transport to about $17billion. So Transport is subsidised to a total of about $20billion in Australia.
TT: Why do we do that?
VS: Simply our transport systems are used to connect us, and when people connect they are productive. Time spent travelling is lost to production, except that it pushes up demand for fuel and more transport which creates work for the transport industry.

I've been a compulsive gardener for decades. I didn't have a grandmother with a garden, but I house sat for two summers at an historic estate with beautiful gardens and a full-time gardener. After that I first grew vegetables. I germinated tomato seeds under lights in the bedroom of our suburban house. I have a very accommodating husband. I'm convinced that growing tomatoes- easy and rewarding – is a pathway drug to flower gardens.
Eventually we moved to our 1881 farm house with its flower gardens and near perfect soil. "For sale by Owner," ninety-three year old widow Anne Patterson was moving 2000 miles to live with her daughter. She beamed as she showed me the Fern-leaved bleeding hearts under the Bur oaks, a patch of pink lily-of-the-valley and her Lemon lilies. We still grow these plus Anne's irises. She triggered my interest in heirloom flowers.
Heritage Flower Farm started really, really small. Every year the nursery "grows." A greenhouse, a hoop house or two, a parking lot, more land, a John Deere tractor, a chicken yard, a big compost operation, more gardens, better gardens and every year we try out 20+ more heritage plants and maybe discontinue one or two. We find out their height, bloom time, water and sun needs, soil acidity or alkalinity, ability to stand without staking, disease problems, how fast they spread, how they survive our Zone 5 winters and what we like about their aesthetics – leaves, movement, flower color, shape & flower placement. You can get some of this with research but it's like the difference between reading about raising your two year old son and actually raising him.
Aside from filling my passion for plants I'm grateful for the most fun, hard-working, plant-loving workers anywhere, bar none. Our customers have become friends and we treasure many. Heritage Flower Farm gives the opportunity to discover anew some of nature's forgotten wonders, honor their place in history, and pass them on to other gardens and other garden friends.

Californian Suits His Young Future Wife on A philippine that is small Island
Exactly What impressed me personally instantly about Ivy, then nearly 24 to my 57, were her step-by-step reactions to the questions we posed. Rereading them now, I'm struck because of the directness of y our emails that are initial. "I'm in search of a person who will always be I confessed barely two weeks into thetalk with me for the rest of my life. The overnight arrived her response. "David, we need to understand that love is certainly not enough to produce a relationship work; we require trust, respect, time, work, and total dedication … I think you can easily fall in love once you marry because … we have to perhaps not allow passion but knowledge determine." eleme personallynt of me thought it absolutely was crazy to also start thinking about someone so young. There have been 33 years I completely lost my mind between us; had? exactly just What would my buddies and family members think? We raised the problem with Ivy on several occasions. "You say she responded, "but I am fixed in my mind and know what I want that I am young. Don't concern yourself with the age space as it does not matter; most crucial is the fact that we meet an actual individual who are trusted and loved." in certain cases we wondered whether I happened to be simply being played. But once the discourse continued, her message stayed consistent. Therefore I went learn. *-*

The lady lived within the town of Caridada regarding the area of Siargao off Mindanao. David Haldane composed in Orange Coast mag, " we experienced never ever heard about Siargao, a remote tear-shaped spot of land comprising about 170 square kilometers from the eastern coastline of Mindanao, a spot understood among other activities because of its nascent Muslim insurgency. Happily, Ivy's house island is much more well-known for its surfing that is excellent mangrove woodlands, and gorgeous white-sand beaches. Once the time arrived for all of us to satisfy, though, I'd some serious travel about to do. Here's exactly exactly just how it shook away: a plane that is 16-hour to Manila, followed closely by a faster trip to Cebu, then an over night ferry ride to a little town where she came across me with a chaperoning relative in tow. Before trading a good dozen terms, the 3 of us had boarded a motorboat laden up with pigs and bananas when it comes to three-hour visit to the area. Source: David Haldane, Orange Coast mag, April 11, 2012 *-*
"I can't honestly say it absolutely was love in the beginning sight. The reality is that Ivy, so effusive in her own email messages, had been too bashful face-to-face to also look me personally in the attention, supporting my hunch that folks who meet online often are less bold whenever one on one. Her cousin graciously took within the slack during awkward lulls in discussion. But once we approached the pristine coast associated with gorgeous spot where she was created, the appearance of the globe started to alter. The very first thing we noticed about Caridad, one of many rural villages in the island and house to about 1,800 souls, had been its great number of kiddies. They certainly were every-where, playing amid water buffalo-drawn carts. No one seemed overly worried about where each son or daughter belonged. Once they got hungry, they knocked for a home and had been given; it absolutely was straightforward as that. A few, in reality, were doing exactly that at Ivy's house as soon as we arrived. *-*
"So," her mother inquired, getting straight to the idea in halting English after showing me personally a chair, "you wish to marry my child." The fact is, we'dn't made any plans that are such. "Well,you think of that?" I reacted, maybe not attempting to be disagreeable, "what would" it absolutely was then through open windows and doors that I noticed the crowd outside, perhaps 30 people of all ages grinning at me. "who will be they?" We whispered to Ivy. We wasn't prepared on her reaction: "They've never ever seen a foreigner up this close." The remainder conversation passed in a whirl. exactly What were my objectives? Where did We live? Who had been my family members? Exactly exactly What did i really do? And—my favorite—what had opted incorrect within my very first wedding that will be fixed now? The questions, all from mother with Dad and a few family relations looking on, had been merciless. Just as much as they made me squirm, nonetheless, additionally they commanded respect; right here ended up being a household that took really the admonition to guard a unique. *-*
"I will need to have passed away muster because Ivy, described locally as "black beauty" as a result of her lovely skin that is dark sooner or later ended up being permitted to come with me personally alone for a walk. We weren't alone for very long, though; regarding the coastline we encountered a round that is second of, this time around from a big set of smiling locals represented by an instructor whom conveyed their inquisition in English. Demonstrably, town wasn't inclined to allow certainly one of its favorite daughters—or some of its daughters—be whisked away just by anybody, or without severe scrutiny. *-*
"The next early early morning, properly ensconced in a tiny room with mother, Dad, Ivy, and her three siblings, I happened to be awakened at 6 by a bloodcurdling scream, the cry of 1 of her father's pigs giving its life for many crazy viewing foreigner—me. That afternoon the household, combined with most of its next-door next-door neighbors, enjoyed a feast of lechon, the roasted pork usually offered just on the many occasions that are special. In fact, this was the beginning—not the end—of our discussions in regards to the future. While currently a grown-up that has kept house and completed university, Ivy had been needed by Filipino customized to obtain her parents' blessing before proceeding further. She did, and I also made a few more trips into the Philippines through the next 2 yrs of courtship. *-*
"Once we sat behind Ivy on the father's bike me a tour of the island as she gave. Through that trip, aided by the odor regarding the ocean along with her long black colored locks streaming straight back across my face, I think I dropped in love. Later, on a stretch of white sand as soon as owned by her grandfather, we built a crude shelter that is wooden a heart carved into its roof. And finally, by the end of a pier that is long Cloud 9, I inquired Ivy become my partner." *-*

"Despite this beginning that is inauspicious we had been hitched 8 weeks later on. I vividly keep in mind Ivy's very first impressions. She had never ever seen roads therefore wide; for a right time, she had been afraid to cross. Operating a washing device and microwave oven had been abilities she had to get. And, used to the constant noises of crowing roosters, barking dogs, and squealing kiddies, her many hard modification had been towards the pervasive silence surrounding the house. "It's as whenever we haven't any next-door neighbors," my wife often complained. *-*
"We filled that silence with buddies similar to us. Within the lack of the family that is large community structures associated with the Philippines, we've produced an alternative family members here within the backwoods of America. That includesn't been hard provided the western Coast's proliferation of Filipino People in the us, including nearly 700,000 in Southern California, with enclaves in Anaheim, Cerritos, Carson, and longer Beach.

"We are acutely conscious, needless to say, that other people outside our group often glance at us askance.

There's a good reason some individuals persist in calling them "mail-order brides," a term many of us find profoundly offensive. real, some gents and ladies have literally discovered their mates in catalogs, but that procedure bears small resemblance to the fact we all know. *-*

Whatever we think about them, we can all agree on one thing: computers are brilliant. They can process vast amounts of data. They can do so at an astonishing speed. (How long would it take you to work out the cube root of 36,264,691? Ages – if at all. Yet within a split second, a computer gives you the answer – 331.) And computers are becoming ever smarter. It is now decades since they showed their ability to do humdrum calculations such as ?nding a cube root. Now they can plan the quickest route to drive from A to B, avoiding traffic jams, and tell us our arrival time. They can predict pretty accurately how many cartons of milk a shop is likely to sell in two days' time. They can recognise faces. They can steer a car through heavy traffic.
This exponential growth in computing power will not stop. Robots will become increasingly deft at performing tasks we currently see as the unique preserve of humans. They will become more and more skilled in interrogating patterns of behaviour by individuals and organisations and then suggesting better ways that tasks can be accomplished. Arti?cial intelligence (AI) will surround us even more than it does today. Within a couple of decades, the tech evangelists maintain, it will be able to replicate everything the human is capable of.
A computer will be able to hold a genuinely stimulating conversation. It will be able to devise and perform a seriously funny comedy routine. It will be able to choose the right clothes for your day ahead, iron them and lay them out ready for when you step out of the shower. It will be able to make you feel loved.
Call that creativity if you like, but it is creativity that is con?ned within a narrow set of boundaries: it is about drawing an inference from past experience.
So how does all this relate to the future of work, the future of organisations and the future of the way those organisations are managed? It is already commonplace for accounts to be drawn up with only the smallest human intervention: AI does the basics. AI can scour thousands of documents to ?nd relevant precedents in putting together a legal case. Increasingly, such work and a myriad of other tasks will be executed by AI: the humans who hitherto earned a living doing these things will be redundant.
Those performing more creative, less mechanistic tasks at what we can loosely call the top end of the employment scale should escape this cull of their jobs. Those who work in areas such as providing care for the sick and elderly or serving in restaurants should also continue to see demand for their skills: empathy still counts for something. Hence, as the well-worn argument goes, the increasing application of AI will lead to a hollowing-out of the middle in the jobs market, while those at the top and bottom should see their roles change but endure.
But what does the increasing application of AI imply for companies? Certainly, for a company to survive, it will have no option but to adopt labour-saving, cost-cutting technologies. It will have to strive to match the operational e?ciency of its competitors, who will all be doing the same thing. And of course, it will also need fewer employees. But all this does no more than get a company onto the starting grid.
To win the race, it needs to make decisions about which customers to target and what new products or services might be devised to attract them. Here, AI's limitations are revealed. Decisions such as these require intuition, imagination – and, crucially, an ability to pull together items of information from many different sources. Lateral thinking involves far more than computing power, however vast. No computer ever dreamed up a cool new brand.
Compare venerable British high street institution John Lewis and Amazon, for example. John Lewis is a retailer. So is Amazon. John Lewis will use computing power for routine tasks such as invoicing and stock control: it tries to achieve operational efficiency. But given Amazon's vast resources, John Lewis will never be able to do more than play catch-up in terms of delivering a given product at a lower cost. In terms of sheer efficiency, it cannot beat Amazon.
So, what to do? The crucial point is that John Lewis and Amazon are not mirror images of one another. Amazon delivers goods to your door after you have ordered them online; the whole process has virtually no human involvement.
(If drones ever become viable for carrying packages, even the person delivering things to your home may be taken out of the equation.) John Lewis, however, majors on the human – offering advice and allowing a product to be inspected, tried out and compared, before it is bought, all within an agreeable environment.
All these characteristics make John Lewis distinctive, and arguably unique. And if it is to survive and prosper, it has to emphasise these distinctive aspects. Trying to ape Amazon is futile. Instead, John Lewis must identify all its unique qualities – qualities that involve the human touch – and concentrate on developing those. The broad point is this: to survive, a ?rm needs to focus on the things it does uniquely well – and, just as importantly, look for new things that it doesn't do at the moment but where its unique skills could give it a comparative advantage over others. But that involves judgement; no computer can yet provide that. I am sceptical that it ever will.
The most important decisions that a ?rm makes will be about where to allocate its resources. And while AI can provide vast amounts of data about what has happened in the past, its predictive powers are limited and do not extend to making strategic decisions.
The evidence for this? Look no further than Facebook. Its algorithms gaily continue to feed its billions of users with material calculated to keep them engaged, providing huge audiences for advertisers looking to reach carefully segmented groups of individuals. AI achieved that brilliantly well. But what it failed to do was spot the potential damage of users waking up to the reality that their personal details were being distributed far and wide; neither did it foresee that Facebook would ?nally have to confront the fact that it was being used as a medium for spreading untruths (the misleadingly named "fake news") and the consequent cost of controlling it, if not eradicating it altogether.
Facebook's AI systems could not and did not see the threats. It's not simply that AI failed to spot the elephant in the room; AI was in a completely different room. The threats were real enough, but it took the individuals at the head of the organisation – human to a man and woman – to realise, albeit belatedly, that these were issues that had to be tackled. The consequence of their belated acknowledgement? Facebook's stock market value fell by US$120 billion (£92.5 billion) in a day. And it is now recruiting thousands more people to weed out the untruths and the fake accounts.
The lesson is clear: Facebook's decision to tackle these crucial issues – and, indeed, its failure to do so much earlier – was a strategic one where AI had nothing useful to offer. AI was and is central to Facebook's operations, but the most important strategic decisions are taken by humans.
And that brings us back to the key point: deciding where to invest energy and resources requires lateral thinking, intuition and creativity – areas where humans trump machines.
All this is central to the question of how to equip individuals to manage and work within ?rms that want to survive and prosper. As AI takes over more and more internal functions within the organisation, business managers will have to devote an increasing amount of their time and energy to exploiting their creativity and intuition. In short, they will have to concentrate on what AI cannot do.
On top of this, it will be essential for them to understand what AI is capable of doing – and its limitations. This is emphatically not saying that a good manager will have to be a programmer. But she or he will need to have sufficient understanding of any AI system at least to be able to evaluate the information coming from it: to what extend can an answer be relied upon?
To use a somewhat trite example, if my SatNav tells me to use a particular route for a journey, I want to know whether it is taking into account traffic jams and roadworks. Similarly, if a computer programme tells me that a particular company's stock is undervalued and therefore worth buying, I want to know on what basis it's making that judgement. And consider this. If I'm a fund manager and I have a piece of software that indicates when a stock is cheap or expensive, it's inevitable that I won't be the only fund manager using the software.
An ability to evaluate the output of AI, creativity, imagination, drawing strands of inspiration from disparate sources and a willingness to challenge orthodoxy – these are all things that managers will need to ensure that their organisation thrives in a world where AI becomes increasingly widespread. But no less important will be the manager's efforts to encourage colleagues to give expression to these quintessentially human talents.
That will mean creating a corporate environment in which radical thinking and experimentation are fostered and nourished: mavericks should be given freedom to come up with new and sometimes crazy ideas. Some experiments will fail, but that has to be seen as simply part of the cost of exploiting creativity. In a static state, AI may give sound guidance on where to allocate resources in the short term: its output is rational. But the really important decisions – about how much to devote to research and development or to training, and in which areas – demand very human attributes.
Quantitative information is useful, but don't ignore the value of qualitative judgement.
And, as more and more information becomes available to an ever-expanding cohort of individuals in a ?rm, the role of managers will have to evolve. For generations, managers' status was bolstered by being the conduit through which information was disseminated, and by their exercise of control. No longer. The value that managers can add will increasingly come from using "softer" attributes to motivate and get the most from their employees.
These human qualities will increasingly be at a premium within a ?rm. And, as with the John Lewis example, they will also become more important in dealing with customers, clients and other stakeholders.
Take the case of the GP. When you visit your doctor, she or he will have details about your medical history. They also have access to a wealth of information about people of a similar age, with a similar lifestyle, and so on. From that, with a few keystrokes at a computer, the doctor can infer the likelihood of your having or avoiding a range of medical conditions over the next ?ve, 10 or 15 years.
Does that mean the GP is becoming an increasingly unnecessary intermediary? Not at all. Certainly, access to all that data allows the doctor to make quick and well-informed judgements about your health prospects. And crucially, it frees up time to build a relationship with the patient. Don't underestimate the importance of this. Evidence suggests that people who sustain a one-to-one relationship with an individual doctor over time are likely to live longer than people who see a di?erent GP each time they visit a surgery.
The march of AI – in medicine, in education, in public administration, in charities, in organisations of all types – will not stop. It presents threats, but it also brings countless opportunities. Humans and all their distinctive qualities will become ever more important in the quest for success.

Basically, I just added physics to an L-System demo, and found it was just really fun to play around with, so I've been trying to make it into a game.
It's tricky to control, but if you know what you're doing you can start to really leap around.
The dudes keep giving me Box2D woes; I'll probably have to start a technical thread about them.
Hilarious! and I love physics based game mechanics, that looks pretty fun.
zaphos i love you and trees!
All my dreams have come tree!
This is awesome! I want to suggest using the color of the leaves as a health indicator. Green leaves are full health, autumn leaves are medium health, and the leaves all fall off when you are almost out of health.
Wasn't expecting this when I clicked this thread.
The movement looks amazing, how do you actually control the tree?
Oh my, this looks really cool.
That tree is missing roots. Any plans on elaborating on the cohesion-tension theory of water transport?
Love those mouths by the way-- really interesting gameplay!
This game looks hilarious, I love it. How unapologetically bizarre!
That sound so bizarre, and so cool.
I freaking love this, amazing physics! my only crit is that the dialogue is unnecessary and ruining the joke imo.
I think it is the EXACT opposite, the dialogue makes the joke funny.
I would not think the game was funny at all, just weird, if it had no dialogue.
I'm the #1 fan of peanut butter simulator, by the way.
Ooh that's a cool idea! I already have a bunch of ways to die that don't lend themselves to that (like getting chomped) but I could definitely see experimenting with some desert-like area where your leaves dry up and you die unless you get to water.
With the arrow keys (or wasd or controller joystick) -- up contracts the branches, down spreads them out, left and right rotate them left or right.
I was actually going to have retractable roots initially! ... but they haven't really seemed necessary for the gameplay yet. Still, maybe one day!
I'm still playing around with ideas for how the game will be written / how much writing there will be, but there will probably be at least some dialog.
idk, I think the title is sufficient to convey the joke, and the dialogue just overplays it. maybe because I've already played a couple of big brother-esque games, or I'm just too old and crotchety to appreciate the humor.
and in any case, the gameplay still looks awesome!
I don't know why I'm so goofy right now, but I laughed just from seeing the title of this thread. The GIF's in the OP helped. Looks like fun!
The mechanics with the mouth enemies are fantastic.
For the very first gifts I was like "alright another guy who's playing with a physics engine".... And then I saw the dulls and the moving dentures.... And I was in!
Really cool stuff. Looking forward to knowing a bit more of the gameplay.

I never thought I'd become a coffee snob- I used to hate coffee and only started drinking it because I really really REALLY needed caffeine to get me through those early years of H & Max as babies! But now I love coffee and love the ease of chucking in a coffee capsule and a cup under the spout (most of the time…) and knowing I'll have a perfect cup of coffee in seconds. I do worry about the capsules and the environmental impact & wonder if a biodegradable coffee pod could be a better option but until Nespresso brings one out I'll do my bit in other ways.
3. My new jeans from Target.
Even almost 6 months post baby I STILL am not fitting comfortably into my old jeans- eek. While I'm going to ignore the health/ weight implications of that and try not to put pressure on myself, with the weather finally cooling down I desperately needed a comfortable & affordable pair of jeans and whilst browsing in Target I discovered their new denim range and was very pleasantly surprised. Not only do the jeans comfortably fit my 6ft height with no ankle to be seen, they are high waist, very comfortable to wear and very reasonably priced. I bought a pair of Shape Your Body skinny and straight legged jeans and they are already seeing daily wear!
I am a pretty voracious reader and time was I would devour a book a day. Whilst I don't quite read that fast anymore I do finish about 3 or 4 books a week, so being able to read whenever I have a spare minute is really nice, and something I wouldn't really be able to do with such ease if I didn't have a Kindle app on my phone and ipad. Reading is how I destress, and how I tell my body to relax, so my Kindle is something I use daily!
5. My beautiful friends and family.
I've been pretty busy recently- attending an Ag show conference, visiting my Grandmother in the city & doing my usual volunteering so I've been really relying on my friends and family (particularly my Mother in Law and Mum). I don't know what I would do without my friends, they give so much support and love I would be lost without them- even the little things like sharing a bus run make life that much easier- if you are reading this Jen- thank you, I don't know what I'd do without you.
What are the things you love, and need every day?

Asia Bibi Finally Free and Out of Pakistan
Asia Bibi has finally been allowed to leave Pakistan – six months after she was acquitted of 'blasphemy' and her life sentence quashed.
She has arrived in Canada, where two of her daughters have already been granted asylum, her lawyer told CNN.
Praise God that Asia's ten-year ordeal is finally over!
Asia has spent the past six months in protective custody, unable to leave Pakistan, amid death threats from extremists. After her acquittal at the Supreme Court on October 31, thousands took to the streets demanding she be killed and calling for the overthrow of the Government.
Her nightmare began in June 2009 when she was charged with blasphemy after sharing a cup of water with her co-workers on a farm in Punjab. They called her unclean because she was a Christian.
Thank God that He has made a way for Asia to be released and reunited with her family. Ask Him to protect them all as they build a new life overseas.
Please continue to pray that Pakistan will repeal its blasphemy laws, even though Prime Minister Imran Khan has pledged to defend them. Pray that the influence of hardliners will begin to subside: the Tehreek-e-Labbaik party (TLP) is demanding the death penalty for blasphemers.
Pray for the 218 Christians in Pakistan who are behind bars for blasphemy, including Zafar Bhatti (see below), according to Release partners. Pray that their cases will now be reviewed.
(Sources: BBC, CNN, The Guardian)
Please continue to pray for our brothers and sisters in Sri Lanka, still coming to terms with the devastating losses they suffered during the Easter Sunday bomb attacks. The country has been on high alert amid warnings that Islamist bombers may be planning further attacks. It has recently emerged that among the 257 people who died were 14 Sunday school children from Zion Evangelical Church in Batticaloa. Our partners, who are caring for survivors, say that Christians have responded positively to calls for forgiveness and reconciliation. (Source: Release partners)
Pray for our brother in Pakistan, Zafar Bhatti, who is still waiting for a ruling on his appeal against a blasphemy conviction. The next hearing is scheduled for June 19: pray that Zafar will be acquitted. He has spent seven years in jail and is in poor health. (Source: Release partners)


States seeking a neutral, transparent sales tax system should exempt all business-to-business transactions and impose sales tax only on final retail sales of goods and services. Because many states continue to impose sales tax on business-to-business inputs, examining the tax treatment of a variety of such transactions can provide insight into the neutrality and transparency of a state's overall tax system.
While income tax exemptions for nonprofit hospitals may not be justified under the principles of sound tax policy, sales tax exemptions for the purchase of inputs are. Only seven states exempt inputs purchased by all hospitals, and six states do not exempt inputs purchased by nonprofit hospitals. For many states, exempting inputs from the sales tax should be a part of any tax reform effort.
Ideally, a sales tax should be levied on all goods and services sold at retail, and to prevent distortions and hidden taxes, it should be levied only once on each good or service sold at retail. Take the example of bread sold at retail. The bread is the final retail product, coming after the farmer purchased seeds from a store owner, the miller purchased wheat from the farmer, the bakery purchased flour from the miller, and the supermarket purchased the bread from the bakery. If a sales tax is imposed on each of those transactions, the taxes cascade or "pyramid" on top of each other, resulting in taxes on top of taxes.
Tax pyramiding distorts economic decision-making because goods or services provided by one company become artificially favored over those requiring multiple production steps. If the farmer, the miller, and the baker must pay sales tax on pre-retail steps, those taxes will become embedded in the final retail price. Consumers thus end up paying hidden taxes, and the tax system is less transparent and neutral.
Of the approximately 3,400 hospitals in the United States, 60 percent (2,033) are nonprofit and enjoy tax-exempt status.2 This exempts nonprofit hospitals from paying income tax on investment earnings or surpluses, and donations to them are deductible.
A second, more justifiable, tax benefit enjoyed by many nonprofit hospitals is a sales tax exemption on purchased inputs. Just as imposing sales tax on manufacturing inputs leads to hidden taxes and pyramiding on retail consumers, so too would imposing a state sales tax on hospital purchases lead to hidden taxes and pyramiding on patients.
Tennessee provides one illustrative example. Parkridge Hospital in Chattanooga purchased human blood from a commercial blood bank, in turn making it available to patients in need of transfusions.6 The state ordered the hospital to pay sales tax on the purchase of the blood from the blood banks. The hospital complied under protest and then sued for a refund. Even though Tennessee's sales tax statute specifically limits the sales tax to "selling tangible personal property at retail in this state,7 the Tennessee Supreme Court ruled against the hospital and ordered the tax paid on the business-to-business transactions. Tennessee legislators responded by inserting a specific sales tax exemption for blood purchased by charities into the state code.8 While the "Blood Exemption" is still on the books, other purchases of inputs by hospitals (aside from some equipment) in Tennessee remain subject to sales tax. Patients in Tennessee thus pay hidden taxes embedded in their hospital bills, and Tennessee's tax system is less transparent and neutral.
Of the 45 states that impose a state-level sales tax, 39 exempt all or most purchases by nonprofit hospitals. In 13 states, all purchases of inputs by charities or nonprofits are exempt from the sales tax, and in another 13 states, nonprofit hospital purchases are specifically exempt. Seven states exempt inputs purchased by all hospitals. Arkansas and North Carolina exempt only certain purchases by nonprofit hospitals.
Louisiana, Oklahoma, and West Virginia tax all inputs purchased by nonprofit hospitals, and Tennessee, Washington, and Wyoming tax all but medical equipment purchases. Oklahoma's tax is upside-down: it taxes hospitals' inputs but exempts retail sales. See the tables below for a complete listing.

Here's what Alia Bhatt can teach us about marketing (and designing) chic handbags
Caprese, the handbag line from the house of VIP Industries, recently teamed up with brand ambassador Alia Bhatt to design an exclusive, limited edition handbag collection

Coco Chanel famously once said, "In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different."
Not missing a beat, Caprese, the handbag line from the house of VIP Industries, is not only going back to the drawing board, but handing the drawing board itself over to brand ambassador Alia Bhatt.
In August 2018, Caprese revealed that the actress is working with the brand's creative team to design an exclusive, limited edition handbag collection.
Bhatt has been the brand ambassador for Caprese since 2014. Taking the association one step ahead, the brand has now collaborated with Alia to launch a Caprese<3Alia limited edition collection.
"I have been a part of the Caprese family for over three years now and it gives me great pride to have launched the Caprese <3 Alia collection. What I like about Caprese is that they manage functional and chic at the same time. They are very progressive in their style and they are constantly adapting. I am extremely excited about the collection as it truly embodies my personal sense of style, keeping it fun, flirty and chic" said Bhatt to Brand Equity of the new collaboration.
This new range of handbags was showcased through a fashion show, which witnessed the actress as the showstopper and other models walking the ramp with handbags from the new collection.
The offering includes various handbags — all reflective of Bhatt's "chic and exuberant spirit".
Bhatt's Spring Summer collection is full of all the vibrant-coloured handbags that 'truly reflects the design language of its muse: the Isle of Capri'. And because the campaign would never be enough, we're sharing a behind-the-scenes look at the actor's day on set as well:
Bhatt shares her thoughts on the campaign and collection saying, "I am a complete girlie girl! While growing up, I always loved lots of colours and floral designs. As this collection has been co-curated by me, I have tried to make it an extension of my personal style; hence, you will see a lot of colours and silhouettes in them"
Bhatt has also been promoting the collaboration to her 24.4 million followers on Instagram:

Additionally, Caprese's own social media channels run in full steam, sharing exclusive sneak-peeks of new products and more. The brand also actively leverages social media influencers to drive sales.

Sudip Ghose, CEO, VIP Industries Limited, the brain behind the association between Bhatt and Caprese in a candid chat with Brand Equity revealed, "Believe it or not, men are more brand conscious than women in India. It has been observed that women in India are not heavily brand conscious because they often want a matching bag for every dress and they, therefore, want multiple bags. Over the years, we have been informing consumers that a brand plays an important role and women have started becoming brand conscious in our country. "
Sudip Ghose, CEO, VIP Industries Limited
Ghose, who has over two decades of experience in sales and marketing, with expertise spanning strategic planning, integrated brand marketing, consumer behaviour and insights has been with the company since April 2013.
Caprese is available at more than 1,000 points of sale across the country as well as on e-commerce platforms like Myntra, Flipkart and Amazon. Explaining the brand's e-commerce strategy Ghose says, "E-commerce is an opportunity as well as a threat. It's an opportunity because volumes are high and we would love to jump into it but it creates a very bad price parity in the market. Since we have other sales channels as well, we have to really be very cautious. More than 40% of our overall sales come from e-commerce platforms, which have become one of the biggest contributors to our growth."
Ghose believes marketing a premium brand in the largely unbranded sector is cumbersome, but the journey is worth it. "Caprese is positioned as affordable fashion. We believe that we bring the latest in European fashion to consumers at a rate which is not European. The women's handbags segment is unfortunately or not, a very unstructured market."
That being said, Ghose is hopeful for robust upcoming sales. "I do think that the growth will be above 20% this season. GST was a dampener in our category as prices have gone up in some segments of handbags. Overall, from the numbers that I am seeing for the e-commerce sites and other sales figures, I expect a very good festive season."
The 'masstige' brand has been growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 47%. The mass premium ladies handbag brand from VIP Industries has crossed Rs. 100 crore in sales on new designs and a value for money proposition.
"We want to be present in both the mass and premium segments and the launch of Alia's new line will help us serve the premium segment targeted at working women and affluent housewives looking for international designs in their handbags. Alia is our Caprese girl and we are elated to have collaborated with her on creating a collection that is a perfect mix of her personal style and what the brand stands for," said Ghose.
Finally, we quiz Bhatt on what she looks for in a brand when approached for ads and whether there are any endorsements that she plans to stay away from.- "My mantra is simple – brands that resonate with me are brands that I like to work with! This simple rule guides all my choices," she quips.
Besides Bhatt, VIP Industries has actors Varun Dhawan (for Skybags) and Rohit Sharma (Aristrocrat) endorsing their produucts.

Ann Arbor deer cull helping Food Gatherers feed the hungry
Ryan Stanton | ryanstanton@mlive.com
As the shooting of deer continues in Ann Arbor's parks and nature areas, some fresh venison is going to feed the hungry.
Howell-based Great Lakes Custom Meats and More is processing the meat, which is being delivered to Food Gatherers, an Ann Arbor-based nonprofit food rescue and food bank program serving Washtenaw County.
Michigan Sportsmen Against Hunger is partnering with the city and covering the costs of processing the venison.
City officials said last week the processing had begun, though specific details on how much venison has gone to Food Gatherers haven't been released.
Over the past month, at least a few dozen deer -- with a goal of eventually getting to 100 -- have been killed by sharpshooters hired by the city.
The city's stated goal is to reduce the deer population in order to reduce negative deer-human interactions, such as complaints about damage to gardens and landscaping, and to support biological diversity in nature areas.
This is not from Ann Arbor's deer cull, but here's a photo of what grilled venison looks like.
Eileen Spring, president and CEO of Food Gatherers, emphasizes her organization hasn't advocated for the cull, which has been controversial, but Food Gatherers is willing to make sure the venison goes to good use.
"As you know, Food Gatherers has been dedicated to the mission of alleviating hunger and its cause in our community for nearly 30 years," she said.
"One in seven Washtenaw County residents struggle with food insecurity and we have a lot of work to do."
Spring said the city announced the costs of processing the venison at a licensed facility would be covered and that the venison would be donated to Food Gatherers, so none of Food Gatherers' funds are being used.
"We are a food rescue organization serving food-insecure people. If we receive venison, we will offer it to those in need as we would any other food donation that meets food safety standards," she said.
Venison is seldom donated to Food Gatherers, Spring said, noting most of the organization's donated meat -- beef, poultry and pork -- comes from retail grocers and is frozen and later distributed amongst the 150 pantries and donation sites around the county. Food Gatherers requested that the venison, if it was to receive any from the cull, come as ground meat in packages of one to two pounds, from a U.S. Department of Agriculture-certified processor.
Spring said last month Food Gatherers likely would make the venison available to people being served at pantries, as opposed to congregate meal sites, and it would be accompanied with recipes and tips for how to prepare venison.
She declined to comment more recently on where the venison might be going, citing the controversy over the deer cull and noting Food Gatherers has been targeted by some opponents of the cull who've threatened to protest Food Gatherers.
"Food Gatherers is concerned that any information on when or where venison would be distributed could lead some to target our partner agencies who distribute food to people in need," Spring said. "This would be an unnecessary nuisance to our fellow nonprofit organizations and disrespectful to people seeking food assistance."
Last year, Food Gatherers distributed more than 6 million pounds of food, 60 percent of which was fresh produce or protein, Spring said.
"The top priority at Food Gatherers -- and really, our only priority -- is to maintain our focus on fighting hunger in Washtenaw County," she said.
"We remain in the business of providing food for tens of thousands of our county's food-insecure citizens."
Per conditions of the cull permit issued to the city by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, the heads of all deer killed must be tagged and submitted to the DNR for testing for chronic wasting disease. The permit also requires the venison to be donated to a charitable organization and used for human consumption, with a notation to contact DNR Wildlife Biologist Kristin Bissell if there are any questions about whether a whole deer carcass should be tested for disease.
Lisa Wondrash, a spokeswoman for the city, said city staff selected Food Gatherers to be the recipient of the venison based on the agency's size and its ability to store and distribute a large quantity of venison that would benefit many.
Wondrash referred questions about how the venison is processed to ensure it's safe to consume to Great Lakes Custom Meats, which couldn't be reached.
Bissell, who works in the DNR's Waterloo Wildlife Office, said she wasn't able to comment on the Ann Arbor deer cull because of ongoing litigation, but she spoke in general about deer processing and disease testing.
In general, Bissell said, any deboned venison cooked to the proper temperature is safe for human consumption as long as the animal hasn't been injected with drugs and hasn't been living in a highly contaminated environment.
The disease testing is separate from processing for human consumption, and most people eat venison that has not been tested for a disease, she said.
Bissell said the DNR is testing specimens for chronic wasting disease and tuberculosis as part of its efforts to understand the geographic extent of disease in the state and to monitor the health of cervid populations.
"Urban deer are seldom sampled for disease testing as they are not hunted; so we usually only test a deer that is a disease suspect deer (displayed symptoms consistent with a disease of population concern, died, then turned over to the DNR by an observer)," she wrote in an email. "With suspect animals, the whole carcass is submitted for full necropsy and testing. If an animal were to display symptoms of disease, the whole carcass would be submitted."
If the head of an animal that looked to be normal was submitted for disease testing and the carcass was being processed for venison, and that head came back as a suspect for CWD or TB, the DNR's Wildlife Disease Lab would be able to contact the person who submitted the head, give them the disease tag number and the kill tag number, which would be linked to the specific deer, Bissell said. Any meat associated with that deer then could be set aside.
Dean Hall, president of Michigan Sportsmen Against Hunger, said his organization works with licensed processing facilities throughout the state to cover the costs of processing venison to feed the hungry. He said they've served that role for a number of culls over the years, now including the one in Ann Arbor.
Using money donated to the organization, Michigan Sportsmen Against Hunger pays the meat processor $1 per pound of processed venison. So, if a couple hundred pounds are processed, that's $200 for the processor.
Hall said the processor is essentially a charitable partner and doesn't make a profit from it -- just enough to cover costs.
He said they do it because deer are a resource that need to be managed, and they want to help provide the hungry with a high-protein, low-fat source of food.
"Basically, deer are a renewable resource," he said. "They just keep procreating until something stops them, and Mother Nature has a couple of ways of doing that, whether it's going to be disease or starvation. And man is the only predator outside of a coyote that could manage the deer in that area."
Hall said if the deer aren't managed, they'll eventually eat themselves out of house and home, and that has ripple effects that impact other species.
"There are a lot of ground-dwelling animals that depend on that foliage and everything else, and they have to either relocate or they die because they have no food for themselves," he said, describing the deer cull as a way to restore balance and level the playing field so other animals have a chance to live.
A helicopter flyover last February counted 116 deer in the city, and an expanded aerial survey in March counted 168 deer, including in areas just outside the city.
The City Council voted 8-1 last August to approve a four-year culling program with only Mayor Christopher Taylor opposed. The council then voted 10-1 in November to hire USDA sharpshooters to carry out the first cull this winter.

A winter engagement session paired with a red dress, navy suit and some wine? Perfect!
It's not every day that a client is totally excited about shooting in 20 degree weather in Central Park... Yes, it was freezing but boy, was it worth it! Our shoot was loads of fun - from the very start, this couple was energetic, loving and silly and we all just vibed together - it was almost as if we had known each other for years. There's something to say about a session that is so carefree and laid back as this one, things just happen naturally and the images are so pure and real that you can almost feel them in person.
I'd like to say that their images speak volumes as to the love that Rosanna + Fleuris have for each other. They are recently engaged and as they plan their engagement party and wedding, their love for each other grows with each passing day and it truly is so evident even to a stranger. They are silly together and the love they have for each other is noticeable in their smiles and eyes. We may not know each other for very long but I'd think it's safe to say, they are each other's comfort and best friends.
We want to wish Rosanna + Fleuris the very best of luck as they encounter this new stage in their lives together! Thank you for allowing me to capture this amazing time in your lives.
Congratulations to the soon-to-be Bride and Groom!


I always use SuperRich (orange colour booths) when changing money in Bangkok, including getting other currencies needed for other trips (e.g. USD, Indonesian Rupiah).
I go to the Silom branch for the latter, and just noticed the fine print on their website...0.2 baht better rate on AUD yesterday when going to head office or Silom branch. 25.2 compared with interbank rate of 25.3....25 at sub-branches. Thus, cost of 0.4%, which is as cheap as I have seen it. The 25 (1.2% cost) is still a very good rate, but worth the effort of going to Silom when changing large amounts regularly.
Silom branch is between Sala Daeng and Chong Nonsi BTS, near the corner where the BTS heads left to Chong Nonsi.
