Casual Articles - The Business Calendar
Call it bad vibes, gut reaction, instant dislike, or hitting a major hot button. Truth be told, there are just some people we don't like, don't want to associate with, and want to avoid. But, when they're our co-workers, we can't avoid them. We may have to work closely with them, day after day, until we successfully complete the job.If you are stuck with your difficult person, it may be time to let go, to change how you feel about and deal with your own industrial strength difficult person.Letting go doesn't mean excusing bad behavior or denying how we feel. It means detaching ourselves from feeling bad. Letting go means not letting the other person determine how yo

I guess you have heard it said that honesty is the best policy. Unfortunately, many of the people who say that are dishonest themselves. They only pay lip service to honesty. Consequently, they lie and cheat whenever it is convenient to do so.The truth is . . . many people are honest only to the point where there is the possibility of being caught and when sanctions are applied without fear or favor. Those same people will be dishonest whenever the chances of being caught is slim or where sanctions are hardly applied due to corruption of the institutions meant to apply the sanctions.The result?Explosion of corruption.Now to the business world. The goal of every business i
We have been following the Christian Gregorian Calendar for almost 2000+ years now and it sure is a non standard way of counting the days, months and years as it is based on the solar year which is defined by the time taken for the earth to make one complete revolution round the sun.
Now, this calendar becomes klutzy because of the fact that the twelve months don't conform to an equal number of days and also the leap year factor of Feb 29 which is necessary every four years to keep it in synch with the solar year.
Why is it necessary to be in synch with the seasons for a calendar whose basic purpose is to count time? Wouldn’t it be convenient and useful if we had months of equal number of days?
My simple and humble view is that we need to have a calendar, completely devoid of religion, seasons, and all such external elements, purely based on a standard format of days, weeks, months and years that conform to some equality.
Eg; A day is comprised of 24 hours and thats fixed. A month needs to have a fixed number of days and weeks, and a year needs to have a fixed number of days, weeks and months.
A Calendar having 13 months of 28 days each would give us a year of 364 days. Furthermore it would fix the number of weeks in each month to 4. If we start the year on a Sunday, eg Year 2006, then every month will begin on a Sunday. A week will continue to have its 7 days from Sunday to Saturday as before.
This NEW year will now have 1.25 days less than the Gregorian Year. This means that the seasons will shift through the year, slowly but steadily, until the calendar returns to its original start season every 291.2 years. This time frame amnounts to almost ten generations of humanity assuming that a generation is born every 30 years, approximately.
Now a year will have a fixed number of 364 days, within 13 months. Each month will have four fixed weeks startng and ending on the same day thus giving 28 fixed days.
While it s easy to suggest and look at the feasibility of acceptance of such a proposal one has also to review what kind of impact such a change wll have on the life of the World.
While clocks wll not be affected in terms of Hours, Minutes, Seconds & Degrees, they will still have to be adjusted to display the correct New Month and Year. This can have many ramifications in that almost all digital ekectronic equipment from hand held pocket calculators, to mobile phones, to Computer Hardware, Software to Microwave Ovens, Washing Machines, TV sets, Video, CDAudio & DVD recorders use the day and year feature within them for executing various user desired functions. In fact it would have been the ideal opportunity to have been able to execxute such a change during the Y2K year when all software and related functions had to be converted to conform to the new Millenium year format.

There is a class of management….equivalent, say, to 2nd and 1st lieutenants. They have no real management authority. They often cannot even recommend. They are almost always promoted from the ranks. If not, that is their genealogy. They receive no management training… Or, if they do, it has little or nothing to do with their jobs. I say this is so for most managers…and so I call this class of management ‘most-management’.There is an underlying fabric of agreements (for example, I work a full week; you pay me money..) These can be generic (as receiving pay) or may be personal…[Say, boss..I’m going to work late tonight and tomorrow and take Friday afternoon off…Okay with you? (This is al

You may not know it, but almost everything around you was made through plastic injection molding – the mouse you are using to surf, containers you use to store leftover food, etc.You see, plastic injection molding is the most important process in the manufacturing of plastic parts. It is done by forcing melted plastic in to a mold cavity until it cools and forms a specific plastic shape. Plastic injection molding is very useful when the plastic parts that need to be produced are too complex or expensive to do by machine. With plastic injection molding, many parts can be made simultaneously (using the same mold).Plastic molding manufacturers use several distinct molding techniques to pr

Prospective firms frequently receive dozens, if not hundreds of applications for sought after open positions. The job market for high level positions can be extremely competitive. Candidates often neglect several little known ways to be easily recognized in a sea of job applications.The majority of candidates submit applications via traditional mail, email, or web forms. The fax machine is used infrequently and overlooked by most candidates. Many top level executives will reach for several documents received via a fax machine, before considering an overbearing pile of traditional mail or dozens of emails. Fax machine numbers are often unpublished, but can usually be obtained with a nonspecifi

You might be wondering out aloud, "This person probably does not have what it takes to get into a partnership with me." judging by his sloppy dressing and casual demeanor. Or perhaps you might look at a shabbily dressed person with his head bowed down as he walked along the street as if looking out for coins on the road and thoughts like "Hey, he doesn't look as though he can make it big in life" cross your mind instantaneously.If you find yourself judging people to be exactly the way as you perceive them to be on a regular basis, and by that I mean at least a few times daily, I have news for you...You are inevitably undermining your relationship with people whom you know and potential

By this we also gain much in terms of equality of the number of days within a month whch is useful because months are used for computing many financially related events in life, viz; rent, pay, payments, mortgages, etc etc.
One good thing that will come out of it is that we will have a 13 month pay every year although we will also have to pay 13 months rent and mortgages for the same period.
No doubt this change will certainly effect anniversaries and also marketing trends which usually compare the performance of products and services of specific months or quarters against previous years. Biut this can be overcome by still maimntaining the Gregorian Calendar side by side with the new one show9ing the corresponding dates, months and years. This is nothing unusual as it is already being done with the Islamic Hijri Calendar followed by the Muslims across the globe, the Buddhist, Hindu, Chinese and Jewish Calendars too. Of course the calendar will be cluttered with multiple dates on each square but that will settle with time and people will get used to reading it off the cuff with time.
NEW Calendar I have spent some time on MSExcel and was able to conjure up a possible NEW Calendar based on the 364 day year of 13 months, each containing 28 days.
Started off with Jan 1 1900 taking it to be the first day of the first month of the year 1900 of the NEW Calendar Year and defined some date manipulation formulae to create a conversion of any date between Gregorian and the NEW Calendar thus coming up with a format for the new system that could be implemented at any time we choose since it originates from 1-1-1900 Gregorian and hence takes care of all dates since 1900.
Based on the conversions I get the following eqivalents:-
Aug 21 2005 G = 1 Day of the FIRST (1) Month of NEW Calendar Year 2006
Jan 1 2006 G = 22 Day of the FIFTH (5) Month of NEW Calendar Year 2006
Sep 17 2006 G = 1 Day of the FIRST (1) Month of NEW Calendar Year 2007
Jan 1 2007 G = 23 Day of FIFTH (5) Month of NEW Calendar Year 2007
Today, Dec 25 2005 G = 15 Day of FIFTH (5) Month of NEW Calendar Year 2006
G = Gregorian
Interesting stuff to ponder over.
