A (whisper it) marketing exercise I did lately involved thinking of words beginning with 'x' that could apply to Sales. There are it seems, no more than 400 words in total under 'x' in the dictionary. These appear mostly obscure scientific labels. Yet on closer delving, there's a sufficient handful

10 Money Life Buying Life Tips

I tend to find these types of listicles dubious. Add to that the angle of financial socialisation and there's often a recipe for disaster. So 'hodl' on.

Emptores non facit saltum & Plastic Prospects

I read recently about the battle for ideas in the field of evolutionary biology. Which made me tense at the most misleading of phrases around this. One sadly I hear in business conversation all too often; 'survival of the fittest'. Aargh! Overwhelmingly, 'fittest' is considered synonym for 'strongest'. This is

Sellertrophic Levels

I was reminded of the biology framing of a food chain; the trophic level. Reading about Killer Whales predating Great White Sharks for their 60kg livers. Around the waters stretching an hour or so's drive East of Cape Town. The result appears to be mass flight of the prey. With

Hero Burning Man Chart Tribute

Here's hoping Angel makes a full recovery. As the Reuters text explains; Angel Martin Arjona, a Spanish man who was trying to safeguard his town [Tabara near Zamora, 50 miles west of Valladolid, north west Spain] from a [locally named perhaps, Losacio] wildfire had a close brush with death when

Did We All Fall In To Sales?

I note the annual catnip for those suddenly ex-students about to embark on a career. Of which jobs freshly minted graduates earn most money in. A study, apparently, of 120,000 individual cases checking how the grads of five years back fare today. Sectors of highest attraction are skewed towards

Subvariants At Play

Coronavirus. Remember that? Even Lamestream Media has moved on. Possibly because now everyone, including those sinister clowns of Build Back Betterness such as the WHO and WEF, accepts the plausibility of the Lab Leak Theory. Yes, the only city in the world with a laboratory specifically tasked with investigating whether
