I know, I usually refer to The Economist as one of my references…, but that’s the problem behind when you follow such an awesome publication.

As if wasn’t enough, you should be following The Economist Intelligence Unit, and The Economist Conferences. (AN: no money or gift has been received to say this; however, hey, we’re on this for the money!, so if anybody would be better off receiving a warm glow, I wouldn’t mind  ).

Now seriously, this November the Economist will be summoning several decision-makers with differences in their DM style and techniques, altoguether with senior executives in order to assess for RISK.

The Risk Summit (November 19th 2009) will hold conferences from ‘risk-evaluators’ with nicknames so peculiar and suggestive as ‘The Scenario Planner’, ‘The Moderator’, ‘The Extreme Risk Manager’, ‘The Tangential Thinker’, ‘The War Gamer’, or ‘The Oracle’.

 

Thumbs up!

You’ll have probably engaged in this conversation before, but here you have the answer: dishwashing is more efficient than handwashing.

However, that’s no "the conversation". This morning I was listening to the radio (a morning show) when it was brought up the subject about who loads more efficiently the diswasher: men or women. I’m not going to enter the debate, since I haven’t proved it scientifically (good excuse!); besides, all know men do.

No, seriously, thanks to a Numb3rs episode (sorry, I lost track, I’m not even watching it anymore since I haven’t time, although I’d like to), this morning the answer to that trouble should’ve been let’s knapsack it. We’ll need to make some assumptions (i.e. all our ware is a box of different sizes) but we’ll get there, to the optimal solution, and with that the gaps that will allow us to measure the performance of both men and women.

 

Sorted!
