The story of the tortoise and the hare teaches several lessons about teamwork and competition. Initially, the hare loses by being overconfident and resting, but wins the rematch by running consistently. Next, the tortoise wins by changing the game to emphasize its strength of swimming. Finally, they realize their greatest success working as a team, with the hare carrying the tortoise over obstacles and the tortoise swimming them across the river together. The moral is that individuals perform best by emphasizing their strengths, but teams are stronger by combining members' complementary abilities.
Scouting for Girls formed in 2005 and were signed to their first record label by 2007. Their debut self-titled album reached number 1 on the UK charts and went platinum. They began performing in a pub above a bar in Harrow and built an online fanbase. In 2007, Epic Records signed the band after other labels had passed on them. Their first single "It's Not About You" sold over 900,000 copies in the UK. They toured heavily internationally and their second album peaked at number 2 in the UK charts.
The document outlines a story about two characters, Emily and Jack, who meet at a food convention stall and dislike each other initially but feel some interest. Over subsequent weeks, their interest in each other grows through various chance meetings, but their differing views on dining and lifestyles cause relationship issues. They eventually realize what is most important to them and compromise, finding reconciliation and happiness. The story uses food as a theme and contrasts the characters' views, with Emily being a high maintenance food journalist and Jack a fast food junkie mechanic.

The document discusses concepts related to narrative structure and analysis. It describes how narratives typically follow a pattern of equilibrium being disrupted, followed by an attempt to restore order, and finally the order being restored. It then outlines several codes for analyzing narratives identified by Barthes, including the hermeneutic code involving unexplained elements that drive the story, the proairetic code of implied actions, the semantic code of extended meaning, the symbolic code of deeper meanings from opposing ideas, and the referential code of external knowledge. The document also summarizes Propp's identification of character roles and narrative functions in stories.
The document proposes the "Constructing Better Health" scheme to improve workplace health management in the construction industry. It notes that construction workers experience high rates of both fatal and non-fatal health-related incidents and days lost. The scheme would create an industry-wide knowledge and data platform including an online health management system, accredited occupational health providers, and industry standards to improve health monitoring, education, and referrals. The goal is to enhance health protections and raise standards of health across the construction sector.

Courtly love was a code of conduct between knights and ladies that developed in the 12th century and spread across Europe. It involved strict rules where married nobles could express romantic feelings outside of marriage through poetry, favors, and chivalrous acts. A famous example is the legendary romance between King Arthur and Guinevere. The tradition helped temper violence during the Middle Ages and elevated the social role of women, though it did not significantly change women's legal status.
Modification Of Cardiomyocytes Group Presentationciaranmccreanor
This document describes a proposed method for modifying cardiomyocytes using light-activated proteins and cell therapy to regenerate damaged heart tissue. The method involves:
1. Inserting light-sensitive channelrhodopsin-2 proteins into stem cells derived from cardiomyocytes to make the cells light-responsive.
2. Culturing the modified cells and combining them with the drugs pravastatin and heparin to stimulate cell reproduction and prevent blood clotting.
3. Delivering the cell-drug mixture directly to damaged heart tissue using a minimally invasive implant that pulses high-intensity light, causing the cells to contract in sync with the heart's rhythm.
The Dynamic Tower in Dubai is a proposed skyscraper that would have several innovative features. Each floor would be able to rotate independently, resulting in a constantly changing shape. The tower would also be the world's first prefabricated skyscraper, with 90% of each floor constructed in a factory. This modular construction would allow the entire building to be completed in just 22 months, over 30% faster than a traditional skyscraper. The tower aims to be self-sufficient in energy through wind turbines and solar panels located between and on the rotating floors. However, after facing delays from the financial crisis and other issues, construction on the Dynamic Tower is yet to begin.
The document summarizes the Palm Islands development in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The Palm Islands consist of three artificial island developments - Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali, and Palm Deira - being constructed in the shape of palm trees off the coast of Dubai. Nakheel Properties hired contractors Jan De Nul and Van Oord to construct the islands, which will contain over 100 hotels, villas, apartments, marinas, and leisure attractions once completed.

Beyond Degrees - Empowering the Workforce in the Context of Skills-First.pptxEduSkills OECD
Iván Bornacelly, Policy Analyst at the OECD Centre for Skills, OECD, presents at the webinar 'Tackling job market gaps with a skills-first approach' on 12 June 2024
1. Good old lessons in teamwork from an age-old fable The Tortoise And The Hare
2. Once upon a time a tortoise and a hare had an argument about who was faster. I’m the fastest runner. That’s not true. The fastest runner is me!
3. They decided to settle the argument with a race. They agreed on a route and started off the race. Ok, let’s have a race. Fine!
4. The hare shot ahead and ran briskly for some time. Then seeing that he was far ahead of the tortoise, he thought he'd sit under a tree for some time and relax before continuing the race. Poor guy! Even if I take a nap, he could not catch up with me.
10. The hare was disappointed at losing the race and he did some soul-searching. He realized that he'd lost the race only because he had been overconfident, careless and lax. If he had not taken things for granted, there's no way the tortoise could have beaten him. Why did I lose the race?
11. So he challenged the tortoise to another race. The tortoise agreed. Can we have another race? Ok.
12. This time, the hare went all out and ran without stopping from start to finish. He won by several miles.
13. The moral of the story? Fast and consistent will always beat the slow and steady . If you have two people in your organization, one slow, methodical and reliable, and the other fast and still reliable at what he does, the fast and reliable chap will consistently climb the organizational ladder faster than the slow, methodical chap. It's good to be slow and steady; but it's better to be fast and reliable .
15. The tortoise did some thinking this time, and realized that there's no way he can beat the hare in a race the way it was currently formatted. How can I win the hare?
16. He thought for a while, and then challenged the hare to another race, but on a slightly different route. The hare agreed. Sure! Can we have another race? This time we’ll go through a different route.
17. They started off. In keeping with his self-made commitment to be consistently fast, the hare took off and ran at top speed until he came to a broad river. The finishing line was a couple of kilometers on the other side of the river. Goal
18. The hare sat there wondering what to do. In the meantime the tortoise trundled along, got into the river, swam to the opposite bank, continued walking and finished the race. What should I do?
19. The moral of the story? First identify your core competency and then change the playing field to suit your core competency . In an organization, if you are a good speaker, make sure you create opportunities to give presentations that enable the senior management to notice you. If your strength is analysis, make sure you do some sort of research, make a report and send it upstairs. Working to your strengths will not only get you noticed, but will also create opportunities for growth and advancement .
21. The hare and the tortoise, by this time, had become pretty good friends and they did some thinking together. Both realized that the last race could have been run much better.
22. So they decided to do the last race again, but to run as a team this time. Hi, buddy. How about doing our last race again? Great! I think we could do it much better, if we two help each other. Hi, buddy. How about doing our last race again?
23. They started off, and this time the hare carried the tortoise till the riverbank.
25. On the opposite bank, the hare again carried the tortoise and they reached the finishing line together. They both felt a greater sense of satisfaction than they'd felt earlier.
26. The moral of the story? It's good to be individually brilliant and to have strong core competencies; but unless you're able to work in a team and harness each other's core competencies, you'll always perform below par because there will always be situations at which you'll do poorly and someone else does well. Teamwork is mainly about situational leadership, letting the person with the relevant core competency for a situation take leadership .
27. There are more lessons to be learnt from this story. Note that neither the hare nor the tortoise gave up after failures. The hare decided to work harder and put in more effort after his failure. The tortoise changed his strategy because he was already working as hard as he could. In life, when faced with failure, sometimes it is appropriate to work harder and put in more effort. Sometimes it is appropriate to change strategy and try something different. And sometimes it is appropriate to do both . The hare and the tortoise also learnt another vital lesson. When we stop competing against a rival and instead start competing against the situation, we perform far better.
28. When Roberto Goizueta took over as CEO of Coca-Cola in the 1980s, he was faced with intense competition from Pepsi that was eating into Coke's growth. His executives were Pepsi-focused and intent on increasing market share 0.1 per cent a time. Roberto decided to stop competing against Pepsi and instead compete against the situation of 0.1 per cent growth.
29. He asked his executives what was the average fluid intake of an American per day? The answer was 14 ounces. What was Coke's share of that? Two ounces. Roberto said Coke needed a larger share of that market. The competition wasn't Pepsi. It was the water, tea, coffee, milk and fruit juices that went into the remaining 12 ounces. The public should reach for a Coke whenever they felt like drinking something. To this end, Coke put up vending machines at every street corner. Sales took a quantum jump and Pepsi has never quite caught up since.
