This is going to be a touchy subject for some of you. But, that’s mostly because you have no clue what’s really been going on in the world. (No, I am not trying to insult you….)

A Swab in Time
Sometimes classmates- even ones from long ago- can come to the rescue.
That’s what Dr. Ramy Arnaout of Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital (Boston) found, when he reached his pals at MIT. Thankfully, MIT has been deeply involved in what they call the Manus Project- promoting 3D and other rapid manufacturing techniques.
Is longer better?
A multicenter, multi-sponsor series of trials with the principal researcher of Dr. Laura Dember (the principal sponsor of the study was the University of Pennsylvania) attempted to discern if longer hemodialysis sessions would prove a better therapy for patients. The other collaborating institutions include the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) [part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)], Fresenius Medical Care of North America, Davita Clinical Research, and the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH).
Resolutions?
Some of you might have never heard of this method. We’ve been using something similar (but without the catchy title!) for years, in concert with using the Adizes system to monitor where our clients currently are. I ran across this new terminology and spread the news among my fellow adjuvants. Just so you know, we didn’t coin the phraseology, James Ashford did.
Framily (Sorry Sprint, I used it first!)
I was a bad boy the other day. I got caught up in the drama of one of my client’s issues.
Don’t get me wrong, we all have drama. We all have issues. And, to be honest, I thrive on solving the drama of others. (I generally suck at dealing with the drama of my own life- unless it is life threatening- and, then, my training kicks in and I am in overdrive.) But, in this case, my client was trying to develop an explanation of the craziness that obtained in 2013, because the narrative will be crucial for our moving ahead with plans for the future.
Baby, it’s dark outside!
Time. It’s important- mostly because of what we do with it. Or, what we don’t.
We used to tell time with sundials. Until we were able to develop sophisticated mechanical pieces that made our obsession with the time be possible, regardless of the weather. My religion uses the concept of hours- but those hours change in length as the day gets longer or shorter- since daylight is defined as containing 12 ‘hours’- and so is night-time.
Time, time, time…
I’ve been remiss. I’ve not offered any advice to my clients who bill for their time in a very long time. Lawyers, Accountants, Management Specialists, Technical Services. So, this post is overdue. And, it applies to a lot of other specialties, as well.
Time, Time, Time, is (not) on my side…
Time management. I must have taken more than 50 courses. Given that background, one would think I’m an expert. Yeah, right.
