![]() While asking a busy business executive to flesh out a creative long-form article or book chapter is a bit unrealistic, a weekly discipline of submitting for a caption contest is a move in the same direction. This is true whether we work in writing or business, live in for-profit or nonprofit worlds, make our home on Wall Street or Main Street. To the extent that we think in words, cultivating the discipline of writing is one practice toward clear and creative thinking. In my experience, business students and leaders too often rely on a style of thinking that seems cut-and-pasted from some first-year MBA case or bland management theory, or that’s generated creatively but without a corresponding rigor of thought. This playfulness with words is at the core of combining disparate thoughts, of standing ideas on their head, and it has a great deal to do with the right-brain/left-brain integration required in a business vocation. His selection and overall finish created a lively debate among our judges and students on what worked or failed to work about Matt’s caption versus that of the public winner: “He only wanted me for my body.” Was Matt’s too obscure, too intellectual? Could he have framed his joke in a way that was more accessible? It is these kinds of discussions that help us better understand and work through the power and flexibility of language. Matt’s caption read, “The relationship was less symbiotic than I’d hoped.” He ended up second in the public vote. His entry catered to an image of two fish swimming in the sea-one as a set of bones and one in more full-bodied form. In the fall of 2014, one of our judges, Matt Sterenberg, was picked as a finalist for the real New Yorker caption contest. New yorker caption contest how to#We need good ideas in business, and an important part of producing them is learning how to expose flaws in our thinking. And I would argue the same clarity of thinking is required outside marketing too, for the entrepreneur or corporate executive designing a new strategy, for example. This work of moving from general idea to powerful copy at some point requires the discipline of pen hitting the page, then revising what’s there-again, and again, and again. Making general statements like “I think we can connect to Millennials with authentic branding” is a whole lot easier than writing a pitch that achieves the goal. For marketers, it is easy to rest in abstractions. One thing I have learned through the discipline of writing is how rarely I can assess the quality of my ideas (or lack thereof) until I write them down. But that’s not right: good writing comes from good sentences.” He suggests that “inexperienced writers sometimes imagine that good writing comes from good ideas. As a creative writing professor, Cody’s goal is to fix the broken assumptions of the inexperienced writer. Walker started his own contest a number of years ago with a group of his students at the University of Washington. The idea first came to me when I read a post on the New Yorker blog by Cody Walker, a University of Michigan creative writing professor and New Yorker caption contest winner. You and Your Teamĭon’t let poorly-crafted communications hold you back. When done well, the exercise drives a lively class discussion on language and meaning, and generates a wealth of implications for future marketing professionals. I then take those four back to the class to have the students choose their favorite. When all the entries are in, I send them to a team of friends who work in comedy full- or part-time, asking them to pick the top four. But I’d like to think unfamiliarity is par for the course, as even fewer of them expect a weekly humor competition to be a graded portion of their capstone marketing class.Įach Monday of the semester, I send that week’s New Yorker caption contest to my students, who have until Friday at 5 PM to come up with their own submission. Many have not even heard of the magazine, let alone its famous caption contest. While a good number of my students chuckle to themselves, few if any are regular readers of the New Yorker. The caption states, “Nobody ever asks ‘ How’s Waldo?’” It’s sharp. It is an image of a familiar red-and-white-shirted man with matching cap and wooden cane. On the first day of my undergraduate marketing strategy course, I show my students one of my favorite New Yorker cartoons. ![]()

![]() It is now expected to cost between £22bn and £23bn. It is currently slated to open in June 2026, almost a decade late even if this extended deadline is met.Īround the same time, the UK government priced the project at 4 billion UK pounds. When this project was first being promoted, the CEO of British energy company EDF Vincent de Rivaz predicted that the Hinkley C nuclear power station could be switched on in 2017. Join the Climate Council for more helpful explainers from Australia’s leading climate communicators, straight to your inbox.Ĭase study: Hinkley Nuclear Power Station, United Kingdom However, all other steps involved in producing nuclear power – from mining, to construction, decommissioning and waste management – result in greenhouse gas pollution. Unlike coal and gas, no greenhouse gas pollution is created in the operation of the nuclear reactor. The steam drives a turbine that powers a generator. The heat produced from this process is used to create steam from water. When the nucleus of a uranium molecule is split inside a reactor, heat is produced. Photo by Flickr user Brewbooks licensed under (CC BY-SA 2.0) What is a nuclear power station? Nuclear Power Plant Isar II, Bavaria, Germany. So let’s stop wasting time, and get on with building more renewables. The bottom line is – nuclear power is the slowest, most expensive, most dangerous and least flexible form of new power generation for Australia. It is also low risk, renewable and non-polluting. Building large-scale wind and solar projects is the cheapest way of producing electricity here, even when paired with storage. It needs to be mined which can have widespread effects – contaminating the environment with radioactive dust, radon gas, water-borne toxins, and increased levels of background radiation.Īustralia is one of the sunniest and windiest countries on earth, with enough renewable energy to power resources to power our country 500 times over. Uranium is a finite resource just like coal, oil and gas. They are also water hungry – requiring massive quantities of water for ongoing operations. Even when a nuclear power station operates as intended it creates a long-term and prohibitively expensive legacy of site remediation, fuel processing and radioactive waste storage. Radiation from major nuclear disasters, such as Chernobyl in 1986 and Fukushima in 2011, have impacted hundreds of thousands of people and contaminated vast areas that take decades to clean up. Nuclear power poses significant community, environmental, health and economic risks.As shown in the Australian Energy Market Operator’s Integrated System Plan, by far the cheapest and quickest way to do this is to r amp up renewable energy paired with storage like pumped hydro, and batteries. Australia needs to replace its ageing coal-fired power stations as quickly as possible, and should be slashing its emissions by 75% this decade. Further, analysis conducted by the nuclear industry itself shows nuclear power stations take an average of 9.4 years to build – compared to 1–3 years for a major wind or solar project. In contrast, the costs of building and operating nuclear in Australia remain prohibitively high. CSIRO says by far the lowest cost way of producing electricity is with solar and wind even when factoring in storage. Nuclear power stations are expensive and take too long to build.Many parliamentary inquiries at a federal and state level – see this Victorian Inquiry, this Federal Inquiry, and this South Australian Inquiry for instance – have been held into nuclear, and all have concluded that nuclear power makes no sense in Australia. Such bans were introduced because of community concerns about the health and environmental risks. They are banned in every state, and in every territory. Nuclear power stations can’t be built anywhere in Australia.Why doesn’t nuclear power make sense for Australia? In fact, nuclear power in Australia makes no sense and wasting time and energy debating it is a distraction from genuine climate action. Periodically, as with the changing of the seasons, various individuals appear in the media singing the virtues of nuclear energy onshore – claiming it is the only option for clean and reliable electricity in Australia. While we have never had a nuclear power station, we do have 33% of the world’s uranium deposits and we are the world’s third largest producer of it. The prospect of nuclear power in Australia has been a topic of public debate since the 1950s. ![]() ![]() I hope, however, that this circumstance will not distress you. "I confess," said the Scarecrow, "that your abrupt appearance has caused me surprise, and no doubt has startled my companions. "You may say what you please," answered the Tin Woodman, briefly. M.' means Highly Magnified," returned the Woggle-Bug, proudly. "Most certainly, my dear sir" answered the stranger, briskly. "If you will permit me to seat myself in your august company," continued the stranger, "I will gladly relate my history, so that you will be better able to comprehend my unusual - may I say remarkable? -appearance." It must be admitted that the round, black eyes were rather bulging in appearance but the expression upon the Woggle-Bug's face was by no means unpleasant. Its arms were fully as slender as its legs, and upon a rather long neck was perched its head - not unlike the head of a man, except that its nose ended in a curling antenna, or "feeler," and its ears from the upper points bore antennae that decorated the sides of its head like two miniature, curling pig tails. The body of the Woggle-Bug was rather flat, and judging from what could be seen of it was of a glistening dark brown color upon the back, while the front was striped with alternate bands of light brown and white, blending together at the edges. What he saw was a great, round, buglike body supported upon two slender legs which ended in delicate feet - the toes curling upward. Tip had not yet taken his eyes off this wonderful personage. "Dear me" ejaculated the Pumpkinhead, staring somewhat intently. Does it not occur to you that I am several thousand times greater than any Woggle-Bug you ever saw before? Therefore it is plainly evident that I am Highly Magnified, and there is no good reason why you should doubt the fact." "Sir," said the Woggle-Bug, "I take you for a gentleman of judgment and discernment. "And are you, in truth, highly magnified?" "Oh, I see." The Scarecrow viewed the stranger critically. Standing upright before our amazed friends the Woggle-Bug appeared to be fully as tall as the Tin Woodman and surely no bug in all the Land of Oz had ever before attained so enormous a size. "It affords me great pleasure to surprise people for surely I cannot be classed with ordinary insects and am entitled to both curiosity and admiration from those I meet." "Do not apologize, I beg of you" returned the Woggle-Bug, earnestly. A horrible existence is this, but you must remember it is the regular ordained existence of Woggle-Bugs, as well as of many other tiny creatures that inhabit the earth. "The chill nights rendered me stiff and motionless, for I wore no clothing, but each morning the warm rays of the sun gave me new life and restored me to activity. ![]() ![]() The breed is at higher-than-average risk for an emergency gastrointestinal syndrome called bloat, which can kill a healthy dog within hours.Ī number of neurological/neuromuscular diseases, some of them deadly, affect Labrador Retrievers. It's a good idea to have pet insurance when you own a Lab.Ī number of eye diseases cause blindness in Labrador Retrievers. And if one hind leg ruptures, the other is likely to follow at a later time. Labs are very prone to rupturing the ligaments in their hind legs – expensive surgery again. Unfortunately, an increasing number of beloved Labs are lost in middle age to inherited forms of cancer or heart disease.Ĭommon orthopedic diseases in Labradors include hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and luxating patella (loose knee joints), each of which causes chronic pain and lameness and can require expensive surgery. Many Labs do live to 12 or 13, but usually with chronic health issues such as arthritis. Labrador Retrievers typically live 10-12 years. How long do Labrador Retrievers live? Are they a healthy breed? But they do tend to be very sweet dogs with mellow temperaments that fit well into many families. To me, those dogs don't really look like the classic Labrador Retriever. Labs from show lines are heavier-boned and stockier, with a large blocky head and dense coat.Įven within show lines there are variations, with British/English show lines having the shortest muzzle, shortest legs, and chunkiest build. They have a narrower head, longer muzzle, lankier body, and a sleeker coat. Labrador hunting/field lines are more athletic, agile, and energetic. In particular, Labrador Retrievers used primarily for hunting and field trials look very different from Labs you see at dog shows that emphasize conformation. Of course, it might just be coincidence!īut apart from color, you'll definitely see Labs who look quite different from other Labs. In contrast, the chocolate Labs I've worked with have all been very energetic. In my obedience classes, yellow Labs are often the calmest and most mild-mannered. For hunting and field trials, though, black Labs are by far the most common color. They come in several colors, yet they're all Labrador Retrievers. Are there different "types" of Labrador Retrievers? but does require patience and training to manage. The Labrador Retriever matures slowly, remaining a spirited teenager for several years. You must control this breed's tendency to chew on objects and to mouth your hands – provide a box filled with toys that he can carry around in his mouth. Some have necks like bulls and barely notice tugs on the leash. Most Labs are friendly with everyone, though compared to Golden Retrievers, many Labs are just a bit more conservative with their affections.Īlso more independent – though quite biddable and responsive to obedience training, some Labs have a noticeable stubborn streak. One of the best dogs for children of all ages, Labrador Retrievers are kindly, good-natured, and take most things in stride. Too much confinement and not enough exercise can lead to rambunctiousness and destructive chewing. You can't just leave this breed in the back yard every day with one walk around the block. The Labrador Retriever is one terrific family dog – that is, when given enough vigorous exercise (including daily fetching games, and swimming if possible). That's not because the breed has a lot of behavior problems – they don't – but simply because it's the most popular breed in the United States.Īnd rightfully so. Nearly every obedience class I've ever taught has included at least one Lab. My experience with Labrador Retriever temperament Yellow Labradors can be any shade from reddish to pale yellow, even approaching white. ![]() ![]() The program will automatically decrypt FileZilla profile files on the local computer and instantly recover FTP logins and passwords stored by FileZilla.

![]() Less densely populated than the Highlands region, only about 14% of the population live in the Islands Region. These tropical islands are home to the distinctive Lapita pottery culture (part of the Austronesian family of cultures) which has been studied extensively by archeologists and historians. The Islands Region is comprised of the Bismarck Archipelago and the north Solomon Islands, which are the provinces of East New Britain, Manus, New Ireland, Bougainville and West New Britain. The area is known for its cultural diversity, coffee plantations, orchids and numerous native animals and plants. With fertile valleys the Highlands region is the most densely populated of PNG. The Highlands region located towards the eastern part of PNG is divided into five zones and has elevations of over 13,000 feet. Although people have lived in the New Guinea Highlands for thousands of years, the mountainous interior has only recently been explored. Much of the land is still undeveloped and consists of sandy beaches and inland mountains called the Highlands. The people of PNG are broadly ethnically Melanesian, but the nation is home to a huge number of diverse cultures and languages. PNG consists of four regions made up of 22 provinces, and has the largest area of intact rain forest outside of the Amazon in South America. The two largest rivers are the Sepik and the Fly. The land area of PNG is about 452,860 sq km (174,849 sq mi) with a total area of 462, 840 sq km (178,703 sq mi)-about 1/10 the size of California-and mountainous. The western half of New Guinea is Irian Jaya, a province of Indonesia. PNG is located just 160 km (99 mi) north of Australia, and includes numerous outlying islands such as the islands of Manus, New Britain, New Ireland and Bougainville. In the heart of Melanesia is the nation of Papua New Guinea (PNG), which occupies the eastern half of the land mass New Guinea.

There are different approaches to categorization, but below is the widely accepted WHO categorization. Individuals are classified in several BMI categories (classes) according to their mortality risk. 77 / 3.16 = 24.36, so your BMI is ~24, putting you just in the healthy weight range for your given height. If you also weigh 170 pounds, that is 170 * 0.453 = 77 kg. If you do not, some conversions might be necessary.įor example, if you are 5 feet 10 inches tall, that is 5 x 12 + 10 = 70 inches. Then just multiply your height by itself, and then divide your weight by the result. #Body mass index calculator in kg and feet how toSo, how to calculate BMI knowling the formula above? It is a straightforward task, especially if you already know your height and weight in meters and kg. Weight is referred to as "mass" in medical literature, while height is often called "stature". Of course, in our online BMI calculator you can enter either SI units or imperial metrics for height (feet and inches) as well as weight pounds for weight. BMI formulaīMI (kg/m 2) = weight (kg) / height 2 (m) See below for a list of BMI categories (classifications). The bigger your calculated BMI is, the greater the risk for cardiovascular complications like hypertension, type II diabetes, some types of cancer, renal disease, degenerative arthritis, gallstones, all of which have links to excessive weight relative to one's heigth. The importance and usefulness of the index and hence any Body Mass Index calculator is in its curvilinear relationship to all-cause mortality. In general, BMI is useful when applied to adults, but may be ill-suited when used for young children or even teenagers where the waist to hip ratio and body fat estimates may be more informative. The modern term "body mass index" (BMI) was coined in a paper published in the July 1972 edition of the Journal of Chronic Diseases by Ancel Keys et al., in which it was argued that what was defined as BMI was ".if not fully satisfactory, at least as good as any other relative weight index as an indicator of relative obesity". The concept of the BMI is due to one Adolphe Quetelet - a Belgian astronomer, mathematician, statistician and sociologist and his work on "social physics" between 1830 to 1850. Our BMI calculator also requires just these two measurements as input and the output is in the units BMI is measured: kg per square meter (kg/m 2), which is often left out in both writing and speech. The simplicity of the body mass index calculation is one of its advantages: to calculate it one only needs to know his or her weight and height. The BMI Table is a static tool to help you estimate your patients' body fat.Body Mass Index (BMI) is an index that attempt to quantify the amount of muscle, fat, and bone mass in an individual, and categorize them as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese, based on the index value. The BMI calculator uses Standard or Metric measures and is available in English or Spanish. The BMI Calculator is an easy-to-use online tool to help you estimate your adult patients' body fat. For more information about BMI percentile and growth charts for children, visit the CDC's Child and Teen BMI and NHLBI's We Can! web pages. A child or teen who is between the 85th and 95th percentile on the growth chart is considered overweight. A child or teen who is at the 95th percentile or above is considered obese. The growth charts use a child's BMI, age, and gender to produce a BMI percentile. It may underestimate body fat in older persons and others who have lost muscle.īMI for children and teens, 2 to 20 years old, is determined by using a BMI table that compares their weight and height along with growth charts.It may overestimate body fat in athletes and others who have a muscular build.The higher the BMI, the higher the risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, gallstones, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, and certain cancers (e.g., colon, breast, endometrial, and gallbladder).Īlthough BMI can be used for most men and women, it does have some limits: People who are obese (BMI of 30 or above) almost always have a large amount of body fat in relation to their height. People who are overweight (BMI of 25–29.9) have too much body weight for their height. This ratio of weight to height is known as the body mass index (BMI). For adults, a healthy weight is defined as the appropriate body weight in relation to height. BMI is an estimate of body fat and a good measure of your patients' risk for diseases that can occur with overweight and obesity. ![]() |
