The singer left home in Georgia to head to Frisco Bay but has nothing to live for and doesn't expect anything to come his way, so he sits on the dock watching the ships. Although two thousand miles from home, the dock has become his home where he rests his bones as his loneliness won't leave him alone.

People and platforms are creating new modes of work. In today’s world we can rely on email, Skype and other technologies to bring people together to work effectively without concerns for geography. We don’t need to be in the same office any longer. We can contract with people with specific skill sets to create and organize teams to fulfill certain goals on a project oriented basis.
These developments create flatter, less hierarchical organizations based on networks. To accomplish our work and meet our needs we rely on dozens, hundreds, thousands of individuals and organizations over whom we exercise no direct control.
Purposeful management in these situations takes communication skills. Written communication skills have become of paramount importance.

Arbitrage and the Value of Time in FinanceJohn Cousins
Race Against the Machines! The Stock Market is no longer run by humans. It is run by matching engines in computers. The stock exchanges are now server farms and the capital markets have been fragmented. The speed of transactions is now the competitive advantage in trading, only limited by the speed of light. The economic value of time in finance has exploded. Time is truly money.
The tale of high frequency trading HFT and the building of the straight fiber link between Chicago, the Merc, and New York, NYSE, is from the first chapter of Flash Boys by Michael Lewis. I highly recommend this book and all the other books by Mr. Lewis.
The Great American Songbook Composers and Their Greatest SongsJohn Cousins
I came to the Great American Songbook seeking freshness and novelty, but a came through a different door. The gateway to GAS was jazz. I began listening to jazz in high school and my knowledge and interest broadened and accreted over a long arc of decades.
I have a fascination with these songs and their composers and the performers and their zeitgeist. I want to share it and ignite your interest and curiosity. Look up these tunes, performers and composers on YouTube: it is your free jukebox music library of just about every tune. You can even see the original performances in the Hollywood musicals! This is an amazing time and you have access to it all at your fingertips, so grab your smartphone and earbuds!
There are few things more precious and interesting than a Golden Age. There was a Golden Age of a particular kind of music that ran from the twenties through the fifties: the golden age of popular standards; the songs that constitute The Great American Song Book. These tunes were written by dapper, creative giants like Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hart, the Gershwins, Johnny Mercer, Hoagy Charmichael, Jerome Kern, and Dorothy Fields. Urbane sophisticated talents who created a body of work that effortlessly captures that urbanity and sophistication.
They created tunes focused on the subject of romantic love and exploring all the stages and aspects of the arc of a great love affair: from the initial “walking on air” to the jaded ennui of “never again”. They were obsessed with this theme and subject. Describing, exploring, and driving deep into all its mysteries. These composers and lyricists were in love with Love.
These tunes wed lyrics and music into songs that were crafted by songwriting teams originally centered around Tin Pan Alley; The Brill Building on Broadway in Mid town Manhattan. These songwriting teams in many cases split the composing tasks along functional lines: one writing the music and on writing the lyrics. The composers were writing vehicles for others to perform and usually pitched the tunes in the context of a Broadway or Hollywood musical. They were cranking out tunes for the Hollywood and Broadway dream factories at a prodigious pace. They really worked! Cranking out so many songs, they have a tossed off, effortless quality and a guileless directness. They feel unpretentious and casual: genuine and authentic. But their craft and genius raise these songs to high art.
Many of these tunes became popular hits in their own right, lifted out of the shows and movies, and have been recorded by all the great performers. Fred Astaire debuted many of these tunes and was a favorite of the writing teams. He was known as much for his singing as his dancing! Diana Krall, Harry Connick Jr. and Michael Buble are some of the latest to pay homage to the songbook.
This presentation explores the relationship between money, time, value and wealth. What is transactional, what is valuable, where does wealth repose? This presentation delves into some of the most important philosophical underpinnings of business, economics, finance, time, and psychology.
Inventory: Buffer or Suffer operations and supply chain managementJohn Cousins
Understanding and managing inventory is a critical strategic and operations endeavor; buffer or suffer!
Receivables and inventory are usually financed with a line of credit (revolving debt like a credit card). Managing receivables aims to making sure that all your customers pay and that they pay in a timely manner; you need that cash in the door! Managing inventories also means not letting inventories build up. You do this by monitoring sales and manufacturing activity. You want enough inventories so you can accommodate a spike in sales, but you also don’t want to risk having too much inventory that you can’t unload. This is especially important with products that have a short life cycle and can become obsolete. If not sold in a timely manner this might force you to discount them heavily and take a loss. Operations management is carefully focused on this potential problem. .
You can quickly asses how a company is doing in this regard by looking at their balance sheet and comparing Current Assets to Current Liabilities and seeing if there is a larger amount of Current Assets. Do this comparison for the last few years and you can see if there is a change in Working Capital and if it is due to a build-up of inventories.
We live in a glorious time of bounty when it comes to educational resources for the curious and ambitious. Here are some ideas to point you in the direction of life-long learning.
This slide deck is based on the concepts in a great book by William Ury called Getting Past No. If these slides pique your interest, I suggest reading the book; it is well worth your time.
This document outlines strategies for effective negotiation and mutual gain. It recommends inventing creative solutions that expand options rather than assuming a fixed pie. Negotiators should brainstorm many potential agreements before deciding, separating inventing from judging ideas. They should look for shared and differing interests between parties to craft solutions with benefits for both sides. The goal is to understand others' perspectives and make their decision to agree as easy as possible.
Game theory is the study of mathematical models of strategic decision making between rational decision-makers in conflict or cooperation situations. It examines how individuals' choices impact outcomes and equilibrium strategies in situations like the prisoner's dilemma. Game theory seeks to understand strategic behavior in scenarios with multiple players making interdependent choices under varying rules and payoffs.
Negotiation: its value in changing worldJohn Cousins
Understanding how we go about navigating situations in order to make clear what we desire and how to get it, is the basis for the study of becoming better negotiators.
