Recently we talked about coworkers throwing tantrums at work, and here are 15 of my favorite stories you shared. 1. The cup My office kitchen has a dish drying rack next to the sink. We don’t have office-supplied dishes, just people bringing in dishes from home and a random collection of stuff that’s been left behind over the years. One of our cleaning staff asked a group of us one day if she could put away the dishes that had been living on the drying rack since forever. (Cleaning dishes wasn’t a part of her job, I think she was…

Venus has no moon, but a recent study suggests it probably had one for nearly 2 billion years before Venus consumed it. What we learn about Venus and its past habitability might be applied to improving life on Earth. NBC’s Gadi Schwartz spoke with Dr. Michio Kaku, theoretical physicist, futurist, and bestselling author of QUANTUM SUPREMACY: How The Quantum Computer Revolution Will Change Everything on NBCNewsNow‘s The Future of Everything to discuss this study and the connection with our own mysterious moon.

Dear Friends, I have been doing blogs on Blogger/Blogspot for so long that it seems really strange not to be doing them anymore, but as many of you will have found out, dear Louis – who really is a Saint among men for putting up with me during the full-moon – has done a magnificent all singing all dancing website for us. You can find it at cfz.org.uk…As Pete Townshend would have said “meet the new blogs, the same as the old blogs, except they are not, they are much better.” These blogs on Blogspot will remain as legacy sites, so…

Bhadrapada begins today in North India, opening a lunar month that moves from the midnight birth of Bhagavan Krishna to the arrival of Ganesha and the farewell of Anant Chaturdashi. Yesterday, homes across India marked Raksha Bandhan with sacred threads, family promises and prayers for protection. Today, the lunar calendar turns. In the North Indian Purnimanta tradition, Saturday, August 29, 2026 marks the beginning of Bhadrapada, the month that follows Shravana. It begins quietly, during Krishna Paksha, as the moon starts to wane. Yet within a few days comes one of the most loved nights in the Hindu calendar: Krishna…

The word wire­less is going the way of com­put­er­ized and portable, and for much the same rea­sons. We no longer regard wire­less devices that require no phys­i­cal con­nec­tions to any­thing else as mar­vels, but as some­thing close to neces­si­ties. But our age, with its increas­ing­ly com­mon assump­tions that infor­ma­tion just trav­els through the air, owes its exis­tence to wires — and, in a his­tor­i­cal sense, to one set of wires in par­tic­u­lar, whose sto­ry is told in the Pri­mal Space video above. Woven into a mighty 2,000-mile-long cable, it was laid across the Atlantic Ocean 168 years ago, enabling the first direct…

Free to Be Yourself The Sun in Libra gets to know itself best through interactions with other people. That’s not to say that it agrees with other people all the time, and in fact, it may not agree with them very often at all. In my experience, Libra tends to disagree – but it does that by measuring itself against the other, and in an attempt to achieve balance. Which is to say, it doesn’t always get to behave truly as it would like, but rather in a way that balances out what someone else likes. But as the Sun…

Mix lemon juice in water and soak the shell in it and heat it for one hour. Then filter out on the farce and remove the entire Conch. In this way, the Conch becomes pure. Dig a pit as deep as your hand. Clean the pit from inside. Put an iron griddle in this pit. Spread the Conch well on it. Cover a tin sheet on top, so that the ashes of the dry cow stool (Kande) are not mixed. Spread the wild kande on top of this tin sheet,  and then put the flame on. After 8 hours, gently…

A reader writes: I’m in a very upsetting and bewildering situation at work. I was called into a meeting with HR today because I allegedly said something snide this morning that made someone uncomfortable. However, I did not say anything of the sort — I made an innocent comment about conference rooms, but apparently two different people misheard me. It’s not even something work-inappropriate like a slur that I allegedly said, just a sarcastic comment. The full context is a little convoluted. My team was looking for a conference room for a standing meeting as our usual one had been…

A reader writes: I have a staff member, Sam, who will be out later this year on parental leave. The period they will be on leave overlaps a time of year where their position is the busiest, as the work is highly seasonal and cannot be paused until they return.

Sharing perspectives from the hubXchange 2026 Roundtable: “Assembling the data stack: what pharma needs from external knowledge in the age of AI Agents” As biopharmaceutical R&D transitions toward autonomous AI agents, the industry is forced to re-examine the core substrate upon which these agents reason. A critical roundtable discussion hosted by Digital Science at the AI in Drug Discovery hubXchange 2026 addressed a foundational bottleneck: How do we balance unstructured literature with specialized structured databases to build an AI-ready data stack? The consensus was clear: while LLMs excel at parsing the vast sea of academic literature, they frequently struggle with…

A bit of ‘cheating’ here as I relocated my bryophyte specimens from my first venture into bryology back in 2006 and added 39 species based on these. Other than that I recorded the diminutive Microbryum curvicollum and M. rectum on bare chalk at Swyncombe Downs as well as the truly tiny Seligeria calycina on chalk pebbles at the same site. I also added the liverwort Sphaerocarpos michelii new to the NHM grounds.The rarest moss of the year was Rhynchostegium rotundifolium seen at its classic site on a Cotswolds hedge-bank.   Rhynchostegium rotundifolium for your viewing pleasure, known from two sites in the…

These dogs LOVE pulling sleds. They bark and howl with as the equipment gets set up. One morning in winter I went to say goodbye to Party before she would leave for three weeks and she was so excited, she could barely contain herself at the sight of the sled being set up.

Preference is given to people who have a relationship with the dog. Could I adopt her? Should I adopt…

I’ve seen a lot of conflicting advice ranging all the way from “no one wants to be bothered with a cover letter anymore” to “if I even smell a whiff of AI usage in a cover letter, it automatically goes into the reject pile.” The job market is really bleak right now, and I’m trying to stay optimistic, apply diligently, and not overwhelm myself.

One of the phrases I hear most often when discussing (digital) learning is that we need to make our content “more engaging” or “more exciting”. It appears in project specifications, conference presentations, team meetings, and strategy papers. It has become one of those statements that nobody really questions because, on the face of it, who would argue against interesting or engaging content? The trouble is that “exciting” or “engaging” has become shorthand for something much narrower, more interactive, visually rich, media-heavy, or using new technical ‘wizardry’. Somewhere along the way, we seem to have developed the expectation that good learning…

This stew is incredibly healthy, with a hearty dose of superfoods including sweet potatoes, kale, turmeric and lentils. It was shared with me by one of my Ayurveda mentors years ago & is still in regular rotation at my house. Especially on those week nights when itʻs 5pm & I have no idea what Iʻm making for dinner!

It’s the Thursday “ask the readers” question. A reader writes: I bet your readers have stories created about workplace rules that exist solely because one person did something spectacularly stupid. In my old office, we had to follow a ridiculous long approval process for office supply purchases because they found out one guy had been ordering himself expensive luxury pens. In my current office, they removed our kitchen microwave and wouldn’t let us bring in a new one because someone started a fire. Can we hear about other stories like that, where one person ruined it for everyone? Indeed we…

Here are three updates from past letter-writers. 1. Should I tell my boss to fire our new hire? (#4 at the link) I did end up talking to my boss, alongside another coworker who was having an even worse experience working with the new hire. Turns out our boss was already documenting all the issues we’d shared, and essentially told us he would be fired if he didn’t rapidly turn things around. Well, he did not turn things around and she fired him a few weeks later. According to someone else in the room, he got very angry and defensive,…

Morphologically, it is most similar to M. crystallina, but can be distinguished by its shrub habit, up to 1 m tall (vs. herb, up to 60 cm tall), having terminal and axillary inflorescences (vs. terminal), shorter internode 1.5–5.5 cm long (vs. 6–8 cm long), shorter peduncles 0.5–1.5 cm long (vs. ca. 6 cm long), smaller leaf size 5.5–10.5 × 2–4.5 cm (vs. 15–20 × 5–7 cm)…

In the forest around Bossou, Guinea, a respiratory epidemic during the 2003 dry season killed five of the community’s 19 chimpanzees, and one of the dead was Jimato, an infant about 1.2 years old and the eighth born to a female named Jire. Jire carried her dead infant for 68 days. In that time the body swelled and then dried out, lost its hair, and became a small shape wrapped in leathery skin, and a photograph taken 17 days after the death shows Jire carrying it on her back, one arm held between her shoulder and her neck. She groomed…

॥Hari Om॥   Narada’s life was not merely a tale of humility, but a living commentary on karma, dharma, and Bhakti. By choosing the path of Nivṛtti Dharma—renunciation and surrender—over Pravṛtti Dharma, the pursuit of worldly gains, he revealed the fragility of material pursuits and the permanence of devotion to the Supreme. As a householder’s son, his service to sages and his affection for his mother exemplified swadharma. This swadharma, powered by reverence for the sages, faithful love, and devotion to Bhagvan, fructified as Bhakti. Thus, even his humble acts became yajña—offerings to the Bhagvan. Yet the weight of karma remained:…

On the merry-go-round of L&D trends, hot topics come and go, only to return at some unspecified time in the future. The latest one to swing by once again appears to be the Recognition of Prior Learning, or RPL for short. Conceptually, RPL makes a lot of sense. If you can prove that you’ve already met a learning outcome, then you can gain credit for a training assignment that’s designed to meet it, thereby saving redundant time, effort and cost. The evidence of the prior learning may take various forms – such as a statement of attainment, a resume of…

It’s four answers to four questions. Here we go… 1. Why are all our brainstorming meetings terrible? This has happened in pretty much every brainstorming session in my career, and I am losing my mind. We organize a brainstorm-session, which is “throw everything on the wall, and eventually you reach something brilliant nobody has thought of before.” Or somebody, in a meeting goes, “Any ideas or suggestions? Come on, let’s hear some ideas.” Very important during brainstorming: “No”s are not allowed, to keep momentum going. But the moment the first person offers a suggestion, somebody goes, “No that is not…

Grazing animals like cattle and sheep may be quietly reshaping mountain slopes, according to a new study led by the University of Colorado Boulder. The animals’ simple foraging behavior can produce elaborate terracettes — the staircase-like ridges that stripe hillsides worldwide — challenging a long-held assumption that wandering livestock cannot restructure landscapes on such a large scale. Terracettes are colloquially known as “cow trails” or “sheep tracks,” but the prevailing scientific theory has held that they actually result from gravity slowly pulling soil downhill — scientists assumed animals couldn’t create such regular patterns because they move randomly and independently. Ben…

On the other hand, the mind keeps on retrieving this information stored in the soul as per the requirement to make any critical decisions matching with situations. Based on mind, take an emotional or logical decision, which hardly goes wrong. After that, based on its decision, the mind either works itself or gets tasks done by respective body parts.Purity: it means to have purity of mind. Despite being attributes of a soul, purity is connected with the mind. Because the mind is the birthplace of all kinds of thoughts, emotions and logic. Therefore, if the birthplace is pure, then the…

You could be a meteorologist all your life… and never see something like…

It is fall, and even though not much changes here, the light becomes low and golden. I feel like every season is my favorite time of year when it arrives, but this time, I really mean it. Here is a beautiful tree of gold from a trip to Japan, and here’s a post I wrote about that tree, another moment of golden light. I fell in love in Japan. He was older, and so very tall. There was a glow about him, warm as sunshine. I could have sat and watched him for hours. Even though we didn’t have that…

Prosthechea brassavolae is an orchid (Orchidaceae) in the subfamily Epidendroideae. This species is part of a multispecies group known as the P. prismatocarpa complex which includes 5 species native to Mesoamerica with a centre of diversity in Costa Rica. This species is found through Mexico south to Panama, where it grows as an epiphyte in montane forests between 1100 and 2700 meters in elevation. It is distinguished from the group by the white-magenta lip which is entire, instead of lobed in the other species. P. brassavolae flowers from January to August in its native range. #plants #flowers #science #botany …

The Buddhists say grief is the price we pay for love. On Friday night the wounds I had just managed to seal with the death of my father in 2022, were ripped wide open. My dear friend Domino Lee died.

Every year, millions of Hindus, Buddhists, and spiritual seekers celebrate Guru Purnima with devotion and gratitude. Temples fill with prayers. Ashrams conduct special ceremonies. Disciples bow before their Gurus and express heartfelt respect. Yet very few people stop to ask an important question. Why is Guru Purnima dedicated to Sage Vyasa? India has been home to countless enlightened sages, from Vashistha and Vishwamitra to Yajnavalkya and Adi Shankaracharya. Each transformed spiritual thought in profound ways. So why did Hindu tradition choose Maharishi Ved Vyasa as the eternal Guru? The answer lies deep within the Vedas, Puranas, and India’s spiritual history.…

EDITOR’S NOTE: Because enterprise learning involves multiple disciplines and perspectives, we regularly invite experts from other organizations to share their insights. Today, Totara Chief Commercial Officer Iain Regan explores ways to manage enterprise learning silos.   How does learning happen in your organization? Ask leaders from four departments, and you’ll probably get four different answers. That’s because learning silos are fairly common. Think about employee development, customer education, sales training, and partner enablement. Each of these programs plays a critical role in the enterprise. Each may work well on its own. But they are usually managed by different teams with…

Healthy aging menopause Ayurveda, these travel together, as Kate O’Donnell and I note on her recent podcast. You can listen to it here. Ayurveda balances conditions. If we’re depleted, it’s there for rejuvenation. If we’re toxed, it’s there for cleaning. Sometimes we’re both, and this can be dealt with, too.  The four ashramas, stages of life In Ayurveda, we each move through four stages of life in our own ways. First being a student, second householding, third forest dwelling, and fourth, renunciation. Kate and I spoke especially about the vanaprastha, forest dweller stage of life, in relationship to health aging menopause…

A reader writes: I am a first-time manager at an organization where I have worked in different contributor roles for 10 years. My department analyzes a great deal of data and writes summaries of our findings. I have always found it helpful to listen to music while focusing on my tasks. As I am adjusting to being a manager, I’m wondering if it’s appropriate to wear headphones — does it make me too unapproachable? As I think of the other directors in my organization and my prior bosses, I can’t remember any of them wearing headphones at their desks. Is…

Leading Thoughts for September 24, 2026 IDEAS shared have the power to expand perspectives, change thinking, and move lives. Here are two ideas for the curious mind to engage with: I. Richard Hagberg and Tien Tzuo on strategy: “How do you know when your strategy is working? When your employees wake up in the morning knowing (a) why they are working for your company, (b) what the corporate strategy is, and (c) how they can contribute to that strategy by achieving specific goals and objectives. That’s the ideal green light situation.” Source: Founders, Keepers: Why Founders Are Built to Fail,…

Nearly 2 million years ago, a leopard in Africa sank its teeth into the face of an early human. This bite etched tiny tooth marks into the unlucky person’s jawbone. That bone now speaks to a chilling early chapter in our history: when humans were prey. The fossil belongs to Homo habilis. It’s one of the earliest members of our genus. (Homo includes modern humans and our closest relatives.) At first glance, the bone marks look like scratches. But a recent, close analysis tells another story. The bite marks suggest leopards hunted these early folk. That discovery helps solve a…

Who knows what mysterious creatures might walk out of the jungles of southeast Asia? Rumours abound of strange bipedal apes sequestered in those rainforests. Many US troops saw them in Vietnam and called them “rock apes”. (See also here.) But it is on the Malay peninsula that things get really weird. A year and a half ago I reported on Harold Stephens’ expedition in search of the orang dalam, and his discovery of humanoid footprints consistent with something 8 feet or 2.4 metres in height. The orang dalam would thus appear to be similar to…

High-end Italian luxury brand Poltrona Frau has renamed its “Giobagnara X Poltrona Frau Yoga Mat” made from bull leather as “Giobagnara X Poltrona Frau Exercise Mat” after Hindus protested, calling it highly inappropriate. The product seen on Poltrona Frau website on July 19 (when Hindus protested) was named as “Giobagnara X Poltrona Frau Yoga Mat”; but when checked today; it appeared under the name “Giobagnara X Poltrona Frau Exercise Mat”. It was also shown as “unavailable” today. Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA), had said that this “Giobagnara X Poltrona Frau Yoga Mat” seemed ridiculing…

In this episode, I speak with Matt Richter about Self-Determination Theory, a powerful framework for understanding human motivation. We explore the three universal psychological needs at the heart of the theory, how to apply SDT principles to your work and life, and how managers can create environments that support rather than undermine motivation. Matt is a recognized professional in learning and development, serving as co-director and co-founder of the Learning Development Accelerator (LDA) and President of The Thiagi Group.

URTICARIA AND AYURVEDA HomeSheetpittaURTICARIA AND AYURVEDA Urticaria is a vascular reaction of the skin (Vasodilation and permeability) due to the liberation of histamine from mast cells predominately.

A reader writes: This happened several years ago, but I still think about it and I’m not sure if I handled it correctly at the time. I started working a new job at a design firm in October of this particular year. I was a fairly low-level assistant-type person. In December, one of the senior designers sent out an email to everyone asking for their contribution to the annual Christmas gift to the two principals of the firm — a case of expensive wine for each of them. The email was framed as an invoice, not a voluntary contribution. Everyone…

My mom, Barbara Green, died two years ago this week. I wrote this for her. It is not about work. My mother scheduled her death for 10 a.m. on a Wednesday. Two years earlier, she had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer — metastatic, we learned one horrible afternoon at Johns Hopkins, which meant surgery wasn’t an option, which meant terminal. When it comes to timelines for when you’ll die, doctors don’t like to commit to specifics but after she pressed them, they guessed she had eight to eleven months. My mom was not afraid to die, but she was deeply…

What’s the bare minimum needed for life? Scientists may have just found the answer in a tiny archaeon named Candidatus Sukunaarchaeum mirabile. This newly discovered microbe carries an ultra-reduced genome and survives by doing just one thing: replicating itself. A genome at the edge of life The genome of Sukunaarchaeum is only 238,000 base pairs long—less than half the size of the previously smallest archaeal genome (Nanoarchaeum equitans). It contains just 189 protein-coding genes, and almost all of them are dedicated to DNA replication, transcription, and translation. What’s missing? Nearly everything else. No amino acid synthesis No nucleotide pathways No…

Death is not the end, according to the Hindu Dharmas. It is a renewal of form undergone by the atman, or the true individual self. We are more than just the mind and the body — we are eternal, unchanging, and indestructible by nature, continuing on in our journey from one life to the next. This, however, doesn’t mean Hindus take death lightly. Losing a loved one is among the most turbulent experiences a person can go through. Our teachings acknowledge this, marking it with a samskara, or a ceremony to help us commemorate and process periods of transition. Since death…

Learning management systems (often referred to as learning management software or platforms) have become essential infrastructure for modern organisations.  LMS deliver compliance training and professional development; support onboarding of new talent and enable continuous learning; provide clear evidence of completion rates and understanding; and ultimately build ethical, resilient workplace cultures. Yet, as critical as these systems are, it can be challenging to know which LMS is the right choice for your workforce and organisational needs. Key takeaways Modern organisations rely on LMS platforms to deliver structured training, support onboarding, and maintain a culture of compliance. Effective learning management systems provide…

This week, the new Moon in Virgo raises some issues associated with the sixth house, the natural house of Virgo. Unbeknownst to most, the sixth house relates, amongst other things, to enemies, adversaries, and those who would undermine you generally.It may be helpful to learn how to deal with backbiters and enemies. Backbiting is often motivated by jealousy or admiration for someone else. It’s possible to either compliment them or encourage them. You don’t have to beat them. However, if you must, it is important to treat them as compliments and assist them in recovery.Here are some tips: [Disclaimer: The…

When I teach Ayurveda, no matter if it’s in person or online, the three doshas (vata, pitta, kapha) are BY FAR everybody’s favorite part. It’s like they get a window into their own soul, and they just find it so juicy and fascinating. “What about me?!” is basically what the doshas explain. But while the doshas are fun and fascinating, they have a real role in our physical wellbeing. The doshas have unique tendencies that can keep us healthy or throw us off balance. The goal is to keep the doshas in their most natural state, for us. Your constitution…

Earlier this summer, we talked about times you should have stopped reading something … but didn’t. Here are 15 of my favorite stories you shared. 1. The bulletin board One time, legitimately poking around a server trying to find something I was legitimately entitled to read, I found a spreadsheet with everyone’s salaries. No password or anything. I looked. And what I saw was sufficiently eye-opening that I waited until I had the office to myself and printed it and pinned on the bulletin board. Management were super mad and went on a hunt to find the perpetrator, even proposing…

A reader writes: I was recently offered a small side job that I would do entirely on my own time. It’s adjacent to, but does not overlap or conflict with, my full-time job. I’d make less than $500/month, and I viewed it mostly as pocket money for things like my gym membership, hobbies, and eating out. Before accepting, I read my employer’s policies. The only requirement that seemed applicable was that I inform my manager, which I did. The side work uses my own equipment, email, and resources, happens entirely outside my regular work, and involves no contacts or subjects…

A new study of stone tools from Saudi Arabia’s Nefud Desert argues that Neanderthals may have lived there some 55,000 years ago, much farther south than researchers believed. No bones have turned up to confirm it, and the case rests on the shape of the tools themselves. The research was published online on August 12 in the journal Quaternary Science Reviews. It centers on an archaeological site beside an ancient lake near the city of Jubbah, and it hints that Neanderthals may have occupied more open, arid environments than the picture we have of them allows. That picture has been…

 Most of us hardly ever think about figs. It is one of many fruits available to us. Some could take them or leave them. It is quite possible, however, that this humble fruit played a critical role in human history, and even in the very existence of humans in the first place.  The edible fig we know (Ficus carica)  helped sustain life for prehistoric people struggling to survive in the relatively harsh climate of the middle east. The oldest evidence of modern figs is from a site near Jericho dating 11,400 years ago. The key feature of these fossilized figs was that they…

The Ecology & Conservation of Asian Hornbills: Farmers of the Forest is excellent and data-packed and will be used regularly by those interested academically in hornbills, in the ecology or biology of tropical forest birds, or in avian conservation in the tropics. It is definitely not a general guide to hornbills or to Asian hornbills as a whole, however, and should be considered primarily focused on seed dispersal and ecology, and on conservation. As usual, the price is problematic and means that it is out of reach to interested amateurs and those without grants or institutional support. In summary, it…

Maybe for a The Hills Have Eyes sequel, it would be good to have these right-wing MAGA inbreds demanding that Hindu numerals be banned as idol worship and evil, as it’s contributing to a heathen, demonic, satanic AI takeover. But overall, Hindu orgs and temple leaders need to come out with official releases about the Hinduphobic, racist and religious Hinduphobic hate by both the right and also the left because so far they have failed. You recently have the left, with its long record of Hinduphobic hate, now demanding the accounts of Hindus be checked because they might be connected…

Choosing an online assessment platform is a high-stakes decision. Get it wrong, and you end up with manual spreadsheets, integrity worries, and a system that doesn’t fit the rest of your learning stack.

They apply to any platform, and they’ll help you pressure-test whichever ones you’re considering.1.

As the birth place of Tantra, the Kama Sutra, and temple dancers, Ancient India knew how to keep it spicy in the bedroom. Ayurvedic medicine is the KING of rejuvenation therapies especially when it comes to caring for the body when you want to increase s3x drive, have more satisfying s3x, and keep yourself healthy after.   Something not talked about in the West is the WHY of low libido.

A reader writes: Recently, on TikTok, there has been a big debate about if it’s okay to bring an iced coffee into an interview or not. Some people think it comes off immature or overly casual, like this is just a stop on your errands. Others think it is overly stiff to ask interviewees not to have a drink. I lean on the side of leaving the iced coffee at home or in the car, but what say you? This has been all over my social media feed as well. Apparently (some) Zoomers refuse to believe anyone will judge them…
