Some people simply like running for the pleasure it gives them. I guess it's the same with weight lifters. At some point the physique is a side-effect of one's regulard and healthy practice.
Note that sprinters as well as endurance runners have to lift some weight at one moment or another. When I run my first half-marathon I was surprised that my arms were more sore than my legs.
For calorie burning short intensive work outs are better. For example, deadlifts or playing squash for 30minutes is comparable to multiple hours of jogging.
You're right-the quote showed up in the Google summary of the page, but not the page itself. Weird.
Here is a video where Branson says he achieves "twice as much" on a day when he works out compared to a day when he doesn't exercise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFjgMKwpz_k
The best online meeting tool in my opinion is etherpad.
The meeting starts with a document containing the agenda.
Now everybody chats and rewrites the agenda into a protocol of the decisions made.
Meeting ends.
Pros: The discussion is usually clearer, because you talk about text. No need to talk about old protocols, which are written afterwards.
Cons: Does not solve the problem that usually nobody feels responsible afterwards.
One thing that can help with responsibility is to do a final pass at the end of the meeting and call out action items, including these near the top of the document.
The problem, I experience, is not that action items are missing. The point is that you must write the name of the responsible person next to each action item. Maybe even her email, so people can nag her. If possible, set deadlines.
However, the problem seems to be an inherently social one. I cannot imagine any etherpad plugin or something to help with this.
I think you should market your manual process more aggressively. Generating from templates is easy and cheap, but that a professional graphic artist is doing it, makes quite a difference.
Would you be impressed by more subtle qualities? Let's say a design with special effects, but printed with a professional printer on thicker paper. Maybe subtle effects like watermarks or micro embossing.
CVs are usually emailed and then printed on the office printer, so thicker paper may be redundant.
What is incredibly useful is understanding how those in a hiring organization read CVs, what they expect, and what they assume.
In terms of format: A lot of organisations, especially larger organisations for roles at more senior levels, output their internal candidate profiles, generated from internal systems, in landscape format. They will print a sent-in portrait document in portrait, but what is internally generated is often in landscape, with one left pane and one right pane. This spreads to computer-based viewing: Widescreen monitors are also becoming common place in offices, while laptop screens also tend towards a widescreen format. Why waste 2 large borders on each side of the page in default Word setup, Word being the default in large organisations.
I've never seen an externally sourced CV in landscape. Food for thought. Creative, or practical?
Also remember that eyesight tends to deteriorate with age. As an applicant, if the interviewer may be older, keep things legible.
Not really. After all I want my developers to write code that is, almost above all, simple (next only to working). So, showing a little appreciation for simplicity is a better way to impress me :)
Why do people prefer to run for hours instead of a more intensive workout in a minutes?
Looking at the typical runners [0], why would you desire a physique like that?
