1642 — What's Next? People or Products?
By Ralph Trenary Berthoud Recorder It would be a waste of time to count all of my diplomas and class certificates. The most significant stack was generated during 26 years in the military and in government employment. Those two organizations place a sometimes excessive priority on education and training.

Last night, a thinner crescent moon was in front of the faint constellation Cancer the Crab, and to the left of the Gemini stars Castor and Pollux. And the night before that, a whisker-thin lunar crescent shone in the front of the constellation Gemini, below the stars Castor and Pollux. The moon will continue to stay within Leo's borders for the next few nights. (more...)
