Sonia Sotomayor – Judging the Judge
•
1 like•676 views
Can We Honestly Judge the Judge? President Obama nominated federal Appeals Court Judge, Sonia Sotomayor, to the U.S. Supreme Court, citing her "inspiring life story" and "distinguished career" in his decision. Judge Sotomayor, 54, is confirmed as the first Hispanic on the high court. Congratulations to her. However, her ethnicity or anything else seems to me to be beside the point.

Anti death penalty, Zahir
The document discusses arguments against the death penalty in three main points. First, innocent people have been executed and there is no way to remedy that once carried out. New evidence has later proven their innocence. Second, all legal systems accept that mistakes can be made, which is why appeal systems exist, yet the death penalty denies people the chance to prove innocence later. Research shows 1 in 7 on death row in the US have been found innocent. Third, the death penalty is a barbaric practice that violates human rights laws and promotes the message that killing is acceptable with the right justification, when life in prison is a worse sentence.
Cold Case
This document discusses different types of murder and reasons why people commit murder. It begins by stating that all human beings have a right to life, liberty and security according to Article 3 of human rights. It then defines murder as the unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice. The document goes on to list some main reasons people commit murder, including love, poverty, and physiological instability. It also lists some other potential reasons such as passion, revenge, abortion, alcohol, racism, mafia, discrimination, drugs, ambition, and war. The document concludes by discussing self-defense killings and noting that acting in self-defense is generally accepted as a legal justification for killing, but could be considered
The True Timeline Behind The People vs. O.J. Simpson
What really happened during the O.J Simpson trial? Instant Checkmate presents a timeline of true events — from the moment the bodies of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman were discovered to the controversial verdict.

Juror 8
Juror 8 is described as a mid-40s architect who is quiet, calm, sensitive, passionate, intelligent, and fair. After the trial, he was the sole juror voting not guilty. Through reasoned debate over many hours, he was able to persuade the other jurors of reasonable doubt in the case, leading them to also vote not guilty. He impacted the plot and changed other characters' views of him by proving his logical reasoning.

Ketema Ross brutally beat his elderly neighbors with a broom handle in 2007, believing he was acting on orders from the president and CIA to stop a terrorist attack. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity and spent seven years in a high security mental hospital. Most people with mental illness who commit crimes spend much longer incarcerated than if they had committed the same crime with criminal intent. Society understands punishment but does not understand mental illness, making it difficult for those found not guilty by reason of insanity to receive fair treatment.
Psy 270 Presentation Fa10
The document discusses interrogation techniques used by police to elicit confessions, including the Reid Technique. It also covers false confessions and why they occur, citing exhaustion, threats of punishment, and minimizing crimes. The document analyzes video clips showing fear appeals and guilt being used in an interrogation and a false confession caused by prolonged questioning without a lawyer present. It stresses the importance of invoking one's Miranda rights and refusing to speak to police without legal representation to avoid giving a false confession.
Presentation 4
The defendant was convicted of premeditated first-degree murder and appealed. He argued that evidence he staged the crime scene to appear as a rape and conducted internet searches for rape pornography should have been excluded. The opposing argument was that while some find such material morally wrong, the evidence had probative value that outweighed unfair prejudice. The trial court concluded rule 404 did not apply to the pornography evidence as it was not bad act testimony.
Freedom Of The Press
Three Labour ex-ministers were suspended after being secretly filmed admitting to accepting bribes and bribing others to influence government decisions. While the press plays an important role in holding people in power accountable, some stories represent unnecessary invasions of privacy, like publishing photos of Jade Goody's mother taking drugs. The popular press sometimes abuses its power to sell papers without considering the impact on people's privacy and feelings. However, the press also safeguards freedom by informing people about matters that affect them. Individuals should generally not be able to gag the press, except when coverage could endanger someone's safety.

Arguments Against Death Penalty Essay

Overall, the document presents both sides of the complex debate around capital punishment.
Capitalpunishment

It argues that we must reform our justice system and abolish barbaric practices like the death penalty. The document also notes that some death row inmates have been exonerated, calling into question how many executed individuals may have been innocent.

The leadership mirror
Sorry to be so blunt, but I’ve got a hard truth to share. We need to look in the transformational leadership mirror.
MOST LEADERS AREN’T LEADERS.
They are just the first in a long line of followers. Bold statement, right? Believe me, I don’t make it lightly. Before I explain, I want to share a story.
Sitting across from Juliana, a rising next-generation leader in her industry, I felt genuinely proud of her for her courage as a leader. Over the last month, she’d been sharing with me that she had struggled in dealing with an individual who directly reported to her. She had found herself constantly frustrated and having to push down her anger at having to “babysit” this individual in order to get them to meet deadlines. (We’ve all been there...right?) The subtle clench of her jaw as she described this individual’s behavior told us both there was something going on under the surface for Juliana...
Over the last month that Juliana and I had worked together, I’d asked her to examine why this person was so adept at getting under her skin (outside of the obvious issue of not meeting deadlines). Today, with a smile of relief and certainty Juliana announced, “This might sound crazy, but this person does exactly what my older brother did when I was a kid. He was constantly not following through on what he was supposed to do and I would have to cover for him and do it with a smile”
Something is missing...Do you know what it is?
People likely look at you and are often in awe of your achievements. However, you may secretly have a sense that you are capable of something far greater, you just might not be sure what that is (yet). You know something is missing though. I am blessed; over the past 34 years I have lived, studied, worked and ran businesses in many places including The UK, France, Holland, East Coast Canada, Australia, Asia, West Coast Canada and The US.
We have worked with leaders, executive teams, athletes, recording artists, actors, performers, directors, entrepreneurs, and many individuals with massive visions and equally massive hearts. We’ve assisted individuals and groups to not just 10X their income and success by more often than not 500% (and even 5000% in some cases). More importantly, though we have assisted these folks in finding that missing something that they suspected was within them. In reaching that, these individuals have created a life that is on purpose and deeply fulfilling.
Risk management for dreamers: You don't have to be afraid
It's always very positive and inspiring to hear from you and to know that my content is positively impacting you, your consciousness, your personal growth, and your willingness to take risks. So with that let me start off by saying a big “thank you” for all your wonderful comments, feedback and appreciation, I am filled with gratitude.
Leadership: The pain and pleasure of it all
Why do some become leaders while others remain followers?
One argument says that leaders are “born to lead,” while another claims that leadership is a set of skills, education, and experience that anyone can learn, given sufficient time, commitment and motivation.
Leadership transparency vs. exposure
Leadership Transparency Vs. Exposed Leadership...Do you know the difference? As leaders, we are facing a crisis because, unless you’ve been living in your mom's basement for the last decade or so, you will know that there’s a massively growing distrust of anyone in a leadership position. Nowhere is this more obvious than in government.
Psychopathic CEO's and the millennial comet
On a lovely sunny afternoon; two psychopathic leaders of the dinosaur world are out for a walk discussing a truce between the species; one of the dinosaurs is the leader of the Prosauropods , the other is the leader of the Raptor’s. As they walk along each telling the other how fabulous they each are, for some reason they stop for a moment to discus how cool it is that they rule the world. Then suddenly the bright sky goes dark, they look up to see that a giant spherical shaped rock with an equally gigantic tail of fire has blocked out the sun. Then BOOM!!! The world goes dark and they and all the other dinosaurs come to an end.
Is curiosity the powerful leadership strategy you left behind?
Find yourself standing on the edge of the park as the sun breaks through the clouds to light up the face of a small child. In a completely lucid moment, you notice something on that child's face you realize you rarely see an adults face.... You pay attention and you notice that both the child and the adult the child is interacting with are totally present and available. As a result of that vulnerability, they are joyful and what you see on that child's face is a state of pure wonderment.
Now for a moment think about yourself and ask: Are you in connection with the part of you that was/is still a joyful child? Do you know where that child part of you is? If you’ve lost that connection—and a lot, if not most, adults have—can you get it back? And the really big question—how do you reconnect with that joyful child?
Breaking bad leadership
“Have you been watching it?”
You could hear that question in Starbucks, in grocery lines, bars, at the water fountain, everywhere in the weeks leading up to the finale of Breaking Bad. Even those few people who
hadn't been watching what many have called “the best TV Drama ever” found themselves compelled to download and binge watch from the beginning!
What does it take to be a great speaker leader?
Picture the moment. It’s early Sunday evening. A lot of people were settled in front of their TV sets for the final numb-down of the weekend. But not where I was. The room I was in was filled with people bursting with the positive anticipation and excitement that accompanies a new beginning.
Zuckerberg leadership
He was depicted as a socially stunted, calculating and arrogant person in the movie, “Social Network”.
While those who personally know him say that he’s actually a charming, present, quick witted kind of guy.
As I’m sure you’ve already heard, Mark Zuckerberg was Time’s 2010 person of the year. This outstanding young man is the founder of Facebook and he’s the second youngest individual ever to be named Time magazine’s Person of the Year. And on top of that, he’s a 27 year old multi-billionaire.
The Power of Empathetic Leadership
I know you may have the title of leader, however that doesn't automatically make you one.
You must know this: You cannot lead those whose trust you have not earned!
Take A Stand!
As a Leader of Others and of Yourself, There Comes a Time, When You Must Take A Stand...
It is at that moment that you either decide to feed the drama or... walk away from it & people who create it.
When you take a stand, you either surround yourself with those who support your dreams or.... those who tear them down, (often in the name of love)...

Steve Jobs – Leadership Dinosaur?
When Apple's CEO Steve Jobs died, people left loving notes at every Apple store around the world. There was tremendous gratitude for the innovations and advancement Jobs had brought to our planet.
However, there was something else going on in direct response to Steve Jobs’ passing-- "The Canonizing Effect.”
Friends, Family and Facebook
I posted a status on Facebook that got some very interesting responses.

No Hiding in the Quantum Field
I think you would agree that if you are going to truly claim your competitive edge you must become committed to learning and growth or you will quickly fall behind your own potential.
That being said, sometimes that learning and growth are not always in areas that we might normally be comfortable with.
Even so...

m249-saw PMI To familiarize the soldier with the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon ...
M249 Saw marksman PMIThe Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), or 5.56mm M249 is an individually portable, gas operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, light machine gun with fixed headspace and quick change barrel feature. The M249 engages point targets out to 800 meters, firing the improved NATO standard 5.56mm cartridge. The SAW forms the basis of firepower for the fire team. The gunner has the option of using 30-round M16 magazines or linked ammunition from pre-loaded 200-round plastic magazines. The gunner's basic load is 600 rounds of linked ammunition. The SAW was developed through an initially Army-led research and development effort and eventually a Joint NDO program in the late 1970s/early 1980s to restore sustained and accurate automatic weapons fire to the fire team and squad. When actually fielded in the mid-1980s, the SAW was issued as a one-for-one replacement for the designated "automatic rifle" (M16A1) in the Fire Team. In this regard, the SAW filled the void created by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) during the 1950s because interim automatic weapons (e.g. M-14E2/M16A1) had failed as viable "base of fire" weapons.
Early in the SAW's fielding, the Army identified the need for a Product Improvement Program (PIP) to enhance the weapon. This effort resulted in a "PIP kit" which modifies the barrel, handguard, stock, pistol grip, buffer, and sights.
The M249 machine gun is an ideal complementary weapon system for the infantry squad platoon. It is light enough to be carried and operated by one man, and can be fired from the hip in an assault, even when loaded with a 200-round ammunition box. The barrel change facility ensures that it can continue to fire for long periods. The US Army has conducted strenuous trials on the M249 MG, showing that this weapon has a reliability factor that is well above that of most other small arms weapon systems. Today, the US Army and Marine Corps utilize the license-produced M249 SAW.

From Concept to reality : Implementing Lean Managements DMAIC Methodology for...
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

All the Small Things - XP2024 Bolzano/Bozen
Originally presented at XP2024 Bolzano
While agile has entered the post-mainstream age, possibly losing its mojo along the way, the rise of remote working is dealing a more severe blow than its industrialization.
In this talk we'll have a look to the cumulative effect of the constraints of a remote working environment and of the common countermeasures.
9 Ways Managers Kill Morale (and What to Do Instead)

4. Stifling Growth & Lack of Interest: The presentation highlights the importance of providing opportunities for learning and growth, as well as showing genuine care for employees' well-being.
5. Unclear Communication & Micromanaging: It exposes the frustration and resentment caused by vague expectations and excessive control, advocating for clear communication and employee empowerment.
The presentation then shifts its focus to the power of recognition and empowerment, highlighting how a culture of appreciation can fuel engagement and motivation. It provides actionable takeaways for managers, emphasizing the need to stop demotivating behaviors and start actively fostering a positive workplace culture.

Sonia Sotomayor – Judging the Judge
- 2. President Obama nominated federal Appeals Court Judge, Sonia Sotomayor, to the U.S. Supreme Court, citing her “inspiring life story” and “distinguished career” in his decision. @TheDovBaron
- 3. Judge Sotomayor, 54, is confirmed as the first Hispanic on the high court. Congratulations to her. However, her ethnicity or anything else seems to me to be beside the point. @TheDovBaron
- 4. Whether we personally think she was right for the job or not, clearly this woman seems to know her stuff. @TheDovBaron
- 5. She said: “I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.” @TheDovBaron
- 6. Think about it: We tell ourselves not to judge, yet evaluation is a basic survival process. @TheDovBaron
- 7. To think that we can see things without the influence of our experience is nothing more than a ‘new age’ fantasy. @TheDovBaron
- 8. Again, I understand that the senate wants to make sure a high court judge is without bias. However, that is not and cannot be possible. @TheDovBaron
- 9. What I’m saying here is that yes, even judges ‘judge’ based on their experience, and although they must be guided and directed by the law, to expect even a high court judge to create a ‘personal experiential amnesia’ is ludicrous. @TheDovBaron
