You hold this meeting to get to know your team members and let them know each other. Internal vs External Kick-off MeetingĪn internal kick-off meeting is a meeting with the project manager and the project team members. If the project is spread across a large geographical area, you will have a virtual kick-off meeting so team members can communicate via the internet. If the project is multiphase, you can have a kick-off meeting at the beginning of each phase. In larger projects, you will conduct the kick-off meeting when the planning is completed, and execution is about to start. Smaller projects only require one kick-off meeting. The kick-off meeting takes place immediately after the initiation phase and includes all team members for small projects. When Does the Kick-off Meeting Take Place? The kick-off meeting creates a mutual culture among the team, establishes a common goal with the client, determines how everyone will work together, etc. You can create a bond between your team and the client. Here you can set your client expectations, inform them about the reporting system, and change request procedures.

You will have many meetings during the project life cycle with your stakeholders. A project kick-off meeting is one of the most important meetings for a project. ![]()

5/20/2023 0 Comments Landscape with the fall of icarus![]() The work was bought by the museum in 1912. Bruegel the Elder, Museum van Buuren, Brussels, Belgium But why would anyone loose focus on his own ordinary life and be distracted by the tragic death of Icarus, who wanted to fool nature? And it seems that this is what we see here – a representation of humankind’s indifference to Icarus’ death. There is a Flemish proverb (and as you may know, Bruegel was a huge fans of the proverbs, he created paintings built entirely out of their visual representations): “And the farmer continued to plough…” (En de boer … hij ploegde voort”) pointing out the ignorance of people to their fellow man’s suffering. So, according to Ovid, the other protagonists of the scene are “astonished and think to see gods approaching them through the aether” but in this painting, we notice that they don’t seem to care. You know, that was just a regular greek mythology type of drama). Pallas, Goddess of Wisdom, intervenes and transforms the child into a partridge to save him. The story of Icarus was popularized by the Ovid’s Metamorphoses – the ploughman, the shepherd, the angler and even the partridge are mentioned there (there is a long off topic regarding the bird – Daedalus, responsible for educating his nephew, becomes jealous of his pupil’s precocious talent, so he pushes him from the top of a sacred citadel. The label on the museum wall for the painting includes a question mark just after Bruegel’s name. ![]() The other thing is that the specialists see it to have a relatively weak quality compared to other Bruegels, although this question is complicated by later overpainting. There are two arguments for that thesis – the painting is in oil whereas Bruegel’s other paintings on canvas are in tempera. However, technical examinations from the 1990s caused the attribution to be regarded as very doubtful, and the painting, perhaps painted in the 1560s, is now usually seen as a good early copy by an unknown artist of Bruegel’s lost original, perhaps from about 1558. The composition is so dazzling that numerous curators identify it as one of the famous painter’s creations. Landscape with the Fall of Icarus was long thought to be created by the leading painter of Dutch and Flemish Renaissance painting, Pieter Bruegel the Elder. 1560, Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, Brussels, detail Landscape with the Fall of Icarus, Pieter Bruegel the Elder (after?), c. Ignoring his father’s warnings, Icarus chose to fly too close to the sun, melting the wax, and fell into the sea and drowned. In Greek mythology, Icarus succeeded in flying, with wings made by his father Daedalus, using feathers secured with bees wax. ![]() But when we direct the eye to a certain spot in the water, just below the ship, we can see the real, hidden drama – the legs of Icarus, a young man who became the victim of his own hubris. The boredom of this everyday life scene can be suffocating. Everything is ordinary and is happening at its own regular pace. The ships are sailing to unknown lands, a partridge is sitting on the branch of a tree, the sun is going down. A ploughman is plowing the lands, a shepherd is watching over his sheep, an angler is fishing. ![]() 5/20/2023 0 Comments Adhd medication for adults![]() ![]() doi:10.3390/nu10040405.Ĭlinical investigation of french maritime pine bark extract on attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder as compared to methylphenidate and placebo: part 1: efficacy in a randomised trial.

A healthcare professional can help you come up with a personalized treatment plan so that you can get the maximum possible benefits with the least possible risk. Even though you may not need a prescription to get anything on the list above, you should still consult your provider about the appropriate dosing and possible drug interactions with any other medications you’re taking (for ADHD or anything else). Always consult your healthcare provider about new supplements.To make sure you’re getting your desired dose, choose supplements with labels that break down the exact amount of each active ingredient. It’s the difference between “50 mg of caffeine” and “50 mg of coffee.” That 50 mg of coffee contains caffeine but also the bean itself with its other compounds. Both can be safe and effective (if verified) but the dosing will vary between them. Some natural supplements are made of extracts while others are just a whole root or plant ground up and packed into a capsule. Choose products with detailed active ingredient lists.Seeing either on the label confirms that the supplement does indeed contain the ingredients listed at the dosage claimed-and without any contaminants or unsafe additives. US Pharmacopoeia (USP) and ConsumerLab are two independent, nonprofit research labs that test and verify consumer products. Lack of regulation means supplements may not even contain the ingredient (or the dosage) the label says it contains. ![]() ![]() ![]() I will be taking the cover off to look at the hydraulics when it stops raining.įrom what I've read, it could be anything from a worn relief valve to a scored cylinder and/or piston, loose control spring, stuck control valve, pump check valve, stuck inlet and/or outlet valves or worn quadrant draft control pin.Ĭan someone please tell me what foul demon has possessed my poor three point hitch or am I going to have to do an exorcism in the form of a complete tear down of the pump and hydraulics?Īs always, your help is greatly appreciated.ĭid a little checking out of the hydraulics today.

So, off I go to disc a small field and, up goes the implement. Now we are back to the beginning again where I can just barely get it off the ground. Start the tractor again and now I have control of the implement. It goes up and down like this four more times before I turn off the tractor. All while the lever is engaged in the up most position. And goes to the top and comes to the ground. The fourth time, I raise the discer and it goes to the top and then drops to the ground. Turn the machine off and down comes the discer. I engage the 3 point hitch and my pump comes to life growling low and up goes the discer. On a lark, I moved the top link to the upper hole. I always attach the top link to the bottom hole.

5/20/2023 0 Comments Roger hill![]() ![]() WMS: I have done! Thanks to Roger Hill for your insights into The Warriors and for allowing me to share them here. ![]() It’s flattering that the member thought to do the action figure, but he’s kind of ugly, you know. We would love to know what you think about it! WMS: One of our forum members has created a one-off custom action figure of Cyrus. Then I performed on a Soap Opera called One Life To Live on ABC TV. I did a PBS series called Leatherstocking Stories. WMS: What did you do after filming The Warriors and did you not wish to pursue a career in movies? I thought the film would have an average life as most film do. I’m shocked! Not because I feel the film isn’t worth it, but it’s just unusual. WMS: How do you feel about the cult status this movie has achieved nearly thirty years after it was made? I don’t mind people saying the line at all. I’ve been told “Can You Dig It?” is one of the most famous lines in motion picture history. I am gratified to know people remember my performance. WMS: How does it make you feel knowing that you have one of the most memorable parts in the movie, and hearing people say “Can you dig it?” Do you get a lot of people saying that? I have no negative memories of the shoot. WMS: What are your most memorable positive and negative experiences from filming The Warriors? Actor Roger Hill, who was known for his portrayal of Cyrus in the popular gang movie, died at 65 in New York last Thursday, Variety reported.

WMS: How much of Cyrus was scripted and how much was of your own creation? (E.g. Walter Hill did a wonderful job of setting me and the movie up. ![]() I think the role could not have gone any better. WMS: Are you happy with the way filming your scenes went and would you have liked to have had a different role in the movie? I never had any idea there were any real gangs there. WMS: Did yourself, the cast, or crew feel any danger filming in front of real-life gangs? It is not a matter of nerves or no nerves, but what one does with them. WMS: Were you nervous when you played your part as you had to perform in front of many people?Īctors are always nervous before and during performance. The monologue came naturally because of this. I had played Hamlet three months earlier, so that was preparation enough. WMS: What did it feel like being picked to play Cyrus after the original guy didn’t show up for filming and did you have time to practice your role? Someone else was supposed to play the role but he didn’t show up, so Walter Hill asked me to read for the part. Hill II is Chairman and CEO of The Gettys Group, a leading hospitality design, development, branding and procurement company that he co-founded in 1988.
