Learning has occurred
« on: 21 Oct 2013, 20:12 »

You should learn at least one new thing every day!

What did you guys learn today?

I learned that the Mason-Dixon (sometimes incorrectly called the Mason-Dixie) line is all the way up here in freaking DELAWARE.

That said, eat it yankees!

It's the line between Maryland and Pennsylvania. The town I grew up in is only a couple miles from it. Though, to be fair, most of Maryland is just a couple miles from it.

I read stuff about some of the original Nordic figures Christians transposed old Mediterranean saints onto to co-opt those traditions.

I discovered a couple of days ago that the English word "loot" is from the Hindi (originally Sanskrit) word for "rob".

Speaking of which.. The Norse word for robbery "rán" - and rĺn/ran in modern Swedish and Danish respectively - is also the name of Rán, Goddess of the Sea.

Gee, I wonder how they ended up making that association! :roll:

I had been wondering if zombies were an invention of modern culture, but it turns out they originate from African folklore, like voodoo. According to Wikipedia, people believed you could make someone a zombie by poisoning them with pufferfish toxin and delirium-inducing drugs. If they survived, the near-death experience and dissociated state of mind would cause them to believe they were resurrected from the dead, and act accordingly.

I learned something about Turkish Language today!

Apparently, the English (and German) word "Horde" has its origins in the Turkish "ordu" (which is old-Turkish for army). The same goes for the word caviar (from the Turkish havyar) and yoghurt (yoğurt)

This is correct. It is, however, a popular matter of speculation that the name Dixie is indeed derived from Dixon's name. That's one of several possible origins, though.

Masterpiece, fun fact: Albanian is no longer directly related to any surviving European (or otherwise) language, but borrows heavily from Turkish!

GM, I imagine it's probably different in your industry. This class was for property managers so most of it is in the context of reps who are giving you bids for products/services. Much of the problem arises from the fact that the property manager is acting as an agent for the property owner, so it's not actually "your" money, and that property value is usually based on net income, so if costs increase more than necessary you are actually decreasing the value of the owner's asset (which is a violation of your fiduciary responsibility), and that the majority of costs are passed to the tenants in the form of rent, so when they increase without an actual increase in services, it makes the property a less attractive place to lease, which reduces income because you can't get/keep tenants, which again hurts the NOI and property value. SO if you are taking a higher bid price and receiving personal gain, everyone besides you is getting hurt.

And I play poker with a railroad officer.  Since the railroad purchased their right-of-ways (rights-of-way?) they have to provide their own security. 

A large part of his job was people who'd been killed on the tracks.  Some jumpers, too (from the train, not onto it).  Accidents at crossings are joint jurisdictions, but those are a lot less common than deaths out in the middle of nowhere. 

Remember, tunnels and bridges used by high-speed freight trains do not make good shortcuts for hikers!

Oh, you absolutely should do it. I'm just saying that humans are irrational and we're always failing to do things that would take very little effort and get us lots of money!

Today I put into practice a communication model we were taught yesterday. It's called SBAR: Situation, Background, Assessment and Recommendation. I think it's used all over the place but obviously I was learning it in the context of midwifery practice, so mostly for handing over the care of labouring women or making phone calls. This morning I had to ring up my university to give the name and student number of the girl who will be collecting my uniform on my behalf to the woman who distributes the uniforms. Normally I'd be all flustered and anxious about it, but I just used the model and it worked perfectly! Perhaps my Professional and Ethical Practice module isn't entirely boring waffle.

at work I pre-fillout my portion of forms when new employees have to sign paperwork.  At the class the other day I decided to have my backup proctor the class so she could get some experience.  One of the new employees asked where my last name originates from (I have yet to meet anyone outside of family with my last name).  She told them and they said "the way he draws his "1s" look like he's from that part of the world.  Considering my family came to the US 141 years ago I just found out I apparently write like my literate ancestors

Pretty much any model that makes you prepare for a phone call, meeting etc. will make it go better. At a minimum, jot down the things you want to say before you pick up the phone. Best, of course, for any "business" matters is to maintain a log of all your communications, but that's a bit of a counsel of perfection.

My mind wanders too far (and fast) for a log of a call to be effective.  Usually info comes and goes too fast to even take decent notes. 

And many of my "business" calls involve a fair amount of vitriol, which doesn't make notetaking any easier...

Something others may not have known. A female fox is a Vixen, and a male fox is a Dog.

I learned two things today.
1) In Irish Celtic mythology, the Irish people were descended from the god Donn, which in turn allowed them to kick the asses of the race of gods living in Ireland, making it the only mythology where human defeated the gods.
2) I've started going grey less than a month before my 29th birthday...

I'd rather be going gray at 29 than balding at 17. Ugh. Now I have a brushed back mohawk which shaves the thinning areas.

Today I learned a lot about implanting things. Bioproofing things is pretty hard to do at home. Bioproofing being coating things in something that is inert and implantable. Like coating magnets to prevent heavy metal poisoning and degradation. Been looking into implanting some magnets into myself if you didn't guess from that.

I'm pretty sure I could take it just fine. Not so sure if I could self perform it, though. I can go into a dissociative trance pretty easily where I don't really feel anything at all. It's a pretty handy ability. But doing it to myself... Probably would be good to be self aware. So I'll have to find someone to do it most likely. Or at least a spotter.

That disc size is pretty standard. I remember my first experience with one of them was a couple years before the gamecube came out, I think. Got a computer game on that size disc from some fast food kid's meal when the first x men movie came out which would have made me about six. Now I see them from time to time as driver discs.

Today, I learned that GameCube discs are smaller than a regular CD. I never had or really hung out with anyone who did, but my roommate has one (along with a Nintendo 64) and he left a game laying around in the common area. My mind was blown.

Burger King (I think) at one point or another gave CDROMs that size out as Happy Meal toys.

I wanted to say burger king, so you're probably right on that. But I doubt it was a happy meal toy.  :mrgreen:
