As we weigh yet another strong jobs report against persistent inflation and the looming threat of a recession, we have to acknowledge that the workforce has transformed and now plays by a different set of rules and is motivated by a different set of factors. Leaders take note. The Great Reset is a convergence of trends some decades in the making that culminate in a changed relationship between individuals and organizations. Let’s break down the five “Great Rs” that collectively give us the empowered workforce. 1. The Great Resignation Posited first by Professor Anthony Klotz in a May 2021 interview in Bloomberg , it was originally thought to be a short-term phenomenon triggered in the pandemic when the nation’s quit rate hit a 20-year high. In reality, churn has been building since 2009, and Gartner predicts churn will increase 20% over pre-pandemic levels. 2. The Great Retirement The Great Retirement has been long in coming as the Baby Boomer … [Read more...] about From The Great Resignation to The Great Refusal—here’s what the 5 ‘Great Rs’ mean for the future of the work

Envisioning The Future And Sustaining A Legend At Sumida Farm
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin What do you do when you are suddenly tasked with taking over the family farm? Locals know it as the farm with the little grass shack next to Pearlridge. Sumida Farm , a 95-year-old watercress farm on Oʻahu, that most locals toured in elementary school, is bordered by the retail stores, restaurants and parking lots of Pearlridge Center on three sides and a partially finished Honolulu Rail Transit Project, that hovers above busy Kamehameha highway on elevated tracks, on the fourth. The contrast between bright green rows of watercress against a backdrop of a shuttered Sears building with trains shooting through the sky for intermittent testing looks like something straight out of Blade Runner. How has a farm in the center of a shopping mall sustained four generations? Emi and Kyle Suzuki, who took over in March 2020, are figuring that out now, because with each generation a new iteration of the farm is born. … [Read more...] about Envisioning The Future And Sustaining A Legend At Sumida Farm
Japan says closely coordinating with BOJ, overseas authorities on banking issues
TOKYO – Japan’s government is closely coordinating with the Bank of Japan and financial authorities overseas to prevent fallout from the crisis of confidence engulfing banks in the West, Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki said on Friday. Market turmoil in the wake of the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank in the United States has also ensnared Credit Suisse and fueled fears of another global financial crisis. Japanese policymakers have so far stuck to the view that the possibility of another financial crisis is low. On Friday, Suzuki said he was closely watching financial markets in and outside of Japan and for any impact from problems in the banking sector in the West on the Japanese economy. “With the possibility of various risks in mind…the Financial Services Agency will closely coordinate with the Bank of Japan and financial authorities of other countries, while carefully watching the economy, financial markets and their effects on financial system,” … [Read more...] about Japan says closely coordinating with BOJ, overseas authorities on banking issues
Cactus League report: Cubs catchers’ big-picture approach to competitions — and Oscar Colás tries out center field for Sox
Cody Bellinger finally hit his first spring home run — at least the first one that counted. Bellinger’s homer last week against Team Canada is not applied to Cactus League totals because it was an exhibition matchup. His home run Thursday, though, prevented the Cubs from getting shut out in a 3-1 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Left-hander Drew Smyly went 4⅓ innings, giving up two runs on three hits. He walked one and struck out four batters. Jameson Taillon threw 72 pitches in a minor-league game against the San Francisco Giants on Thursday after his sim game was rained out Wednesday. He surrendered four runs and seven hits, walked one and struck out seven in five innings. Sox manager Pedro Grifol saw some positives from the rain that canceled Wednesday’s game against the San Francisco Giants. “I didn’t plan the weather but when I saw it (in the forecast) a few days ago it was something that we thought would be good for us,” Grifol said Thursday. “Get another day (off), … [Read more...] about Cactus League report: Cubs catchers’ big-picture approach to competitions — and Oscar Colás tries out center field for Sox
Super Gonorrhea Is Spreading: What’s Oral Sex Got To Do With It
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Not all sore throats are strep throat. In fact most aren't. Here's one throat infection that can be ... [+] mistaken for strep throat. (Photo: Shutterstock) You never want to see the words "gonorrhea" and "super" in the same sentence, such as "super, you have gonorrhea" or "gonorrhea is super." However, "super" gonorrhea is becoming an increasing reality around the world. Super gonorrhea is not the next DC Comics television show or movie, like Superman or Supergirl . It is a sexually transmitted bacteria, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, that is resistant to most if not all the antibiotics that we have available. A slang term for gonorrhea is "the clap"...but no one is clapping about the around 78 million new gonorrhea infections that occur each year. As a just-released World Health Organization (WHO) report explains , "data from 77 countries show that antibiotic resistance is making gonorrhea–a common sexually … [Read more...] about Super Gonorrhea Is Spreading: What’s Oral Sex Got To Do With It
Despite Critics And Detractors, World Baseball Classic Endures And Continues To Grow Sport
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin One of the original brains behind the World Baseball Classic says he and the organizers of the global tournament never intended the event to be a one-and-done showcase of elite baseball talent. “This was not expected to be a one-off,” says Bob DuPuy, the former Major League Baseball president and chief operating officer. “(The 2006 WBC) was the inaugural version that would evolve as we learned about it, and learned what worked.” Now, almost two decades after the 2006 version — which ended with Japan winning the championship game against Cuba — the 2023 World Baseball Classic is generating plenty of excitement and patriotic fervor, not to mention renewed criticism. From Team TISI USA’s dramatic come-from-behind victory over Venezuela to propel the Americans into the ‘23 semifinals against Cuba, to the public outcry over injuries to stars like Edwin Diaz and Jose Altuve, there is no shortage of debate as to the … [Read more...] about Despite Critics And Detractors, World Baseball Classic Endures And Continues To Grow Sport
The Next Sector To Watch
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The carnage in the financial stocks last week was as bad or worse than most expected and the level of volatility in the bond market stayed at extreme levels. Kit Juckes, FX analyst at Société Générale commented that “these levels of bond market volatility are dangerous and unsustainable." The MOVE Index that tracks U.S. Treasuries volatility has reached levels last seen in 2009. This is evident in this long-term monthly chart of the MOVE Index from Yahoo/Finance . The Index closed last week at 180. It reached a high of 223 in December 2008 but I am not drawing any parallels as there are many differences between 2008 and now. Record-breaking price action always makes some parts of the market segment nervous and that is the case now. The decline in yield was likely magnified by the fact that by early February the COT data revealed that hedge funds held a “massive short position in two-year U.S. Treasuries futures.” … [Read more...] about The Next Sector To Watch
Xiaomi 13 Pro Review: This Camera Has A Phone On It
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Right off the bat, if there’s one thing you need to know about the Xiaomi 13 Pro, it’s all about the cameras. “Aren’t all flagship phones camera-focused these days?” you might ask. They are, but the Xiaomi 13 Pro packs a refreshing take on cameras that makes it stand out in the segment. So, I’ll start my Xiaomi 13 Pro review by detailing the cameras, and then diving into the smartphone-y bits. Xiaomi 13 Pro review: Cameras The Xiaomi 13 Pro sports a triple rear camera setup, which is led by a 50MP Sony IMX989, 1-inch sensor.

All of these are Leica-tuned, which isn’t just a branding thing. It actually makes a difference on the results. On the front lies an unimpressive 32MP selfie camera. You can choose from two options for the color tone – Leica Vibrant and Leica Authentic. The … [Read more...] about Xiaomi 13 Pro Review: This Camera Has A Phone On It

Bankers Say Jeffrey Loria Floating $1.7 Billion Price For Miami Marlins
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin WASHINGTON, DC - OCTOBER 02: Tomas Telis #18 of the Miami Marlins celebrates with Ichiro Suzuki #51 ... [+] after hitting his first career major league home run in the fifth inning against the Washington Nationals (Photo by Greg Fiume/Getty Images) The latest buzz among sports bankers is that the Miami Marlins can be had for $1.7 billion. Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria is an art dealer who originally became a baseball owner with a relatively small investment —$30 million—in the Montreal Expos--and was part of the controversial deal put together by then MLB commissioner Bud Selig that saw Loria swap his ownership of the Expos for the Marlins so that John Henry could unload the Marlins and purchase the Boston Red Sox. In March we valued the Marlins (and the economics of their stadium) at $675 million, 29th out of the league's 30 teams. The Marlins had attendance of only 1.75 million in 2015, 28th in MLB, … [Read more...] about Bankers Say Jeffrey Loria Floating $1.7 Billion Price For Miami Marlins
