Comment on ‘Blogcritics’ – An Appreciation by Christopher Rose

Bit of a shame that you don’t appear to have any plans for the future though.

Literally nothing has changed in any meaningful way since you and Jon took over and there is still no sign of any change, innovation or progress.

You appear to be doing a reverse Trump and making BC bad again…

I genuinely hope this turns out to be nothing more than a long slow period but we are being left behind on every level, from writing standards to caring for our writers and community.

A lovely piece, Vic, but sadly Blogcritics died a long time ago and nobody, literally nobody, noticed, not even the owners or staff. Sad way to go.

It has changed me also. I stopped taking vacations and starting going to things I could write about.

Comment on Interview with Ines Temple, author of ‘You, Incorporated: Your Career Is Your Business’ by joemath

The first question to resolve in any new venture is to discover what goods and services people actually need. The “Forever Stocks” are based upon this concept. Basics like paper towels, shaving supplies and soaps sell in virtually any economy including depressions. Once you get a handle on what people need-the next thing to do is to search inward to figure out what you do best, as well as, the things you enjoy most. It’s great to get paid for doing what you enjoy most. That way, work is merely an extension of leisure.

Comment on Why Consumers Are Increasingly Preferring Ethical Brands by joemath

The most important thing any consumer can do is to read product levels carefully and perform your own due diligence.Climate change has to be more than just a phrase. In actual implementation, we should be moving ahead on “reflective technologies” in places like the North and South Poles. Research into cleaner energies must continue like solar, nuclear fusion, wind and wave technologies etc.

Recently, I noted that aspartame returned into the added ingredient list of popular sodas. Just a few years ago, aspartame wasn’t listed on the soda labels. The boldest dietary change consumers can make is to eat organic fruits/veggies in place of frozen, canned and generally non-nutritive food choices. Eating natural food products should help to lower non-specific c-reactive protein in blood tests, as well as, glucose improvement in the A1C blood test. Eating natural foods should help with the classic immune system disorders found in the gastrointestinal tract.

Thanks so much for the review! To clarify, the game is first to 9 points, and remember that KO’ing an enemy hero also moves the control token 2 spaces. Hope this helps speed things up!

Comment on Book Review: ’Leading Holistic Improvement with Lean Six Sigma 2.0’ by Ronald D Snee and Roger W Hoerl by joemath

Long before the Six Sigma methodology, there were others like the SEA or Systems Evaluation Approach. Essentially, the SEA set forth detailed flowcharts and work flow together with the accompanying process control points and sets of audit procedures to evaluate the internal accounting controls.

In statistics, there are probability functions like the Poisson Distribution which are employed to identify errors at varying confidence intervals. Although these distribution functions are helpful, they are not perfect. That’s why the notion of confidence intervals comes into play.

NASA knows that there is no such thing as perfection in designing space systems. This is the case because no set(s) of algorithms can quantify what happens when a spacecraft enters deep space. Once a craft is in deep space, there are lots of random events like sunspot activity, asteroids, potential phenomena like Planet X and even time warps.
