Leverage and My Mistakes

Friday, December 31, 2004

I was watching a business program on the weekend and exercising some of the hindsight that is of course crystal clear once you’ve left a business or for that matter any part in your career development. The program was reviewing the implementation of an automated cash register system in a food / retail shop. It showed how under a new system that all the cash registers were touch screens which accurately recorded all the information pertaining to each sale and then directly put that information into the accounting software. It also showed that now the shop owner, from her home, could (Read more)

Cup Holders versus Glove Compartment Trays

Friday, December 31, 2004

What do cup holders have in common with glove compartment trays? Philosophically speaking, the transition from glove compartment trays to cup holders represents an example of how our culture has changed over the last 50 or so years. The use of cup holders reflect how we consume beverages in our cars and trucks today, as opposed to how we consumed our meals in our vehicles during the decades of the ’50s and ’60s. Picture a balmy summer evening in the early 1960’s. A couple in their late teens are out on their first date. Robert, aged 17, asked his dad to borrow the (Read more)

Increase Endurance with Carbs and Fats

Friday, December 31, 2004

A study from The University of Bern in Switzerland shows that a high carbohydrate, high-fat diet for three days before competition can help athletes store more fat in their muscles and use much more muscle fat for energy during exercise (European Journal of Applied Physiology, November, 2006).

Then they ate a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet for 2.5 days or the same diet with lots of added fat for the last 1.5 days. Athletes who ate the high-carbohydrate, high-fat diet stored (Read more)
