The definition of the purpose-driven economy
Think:Act: You have said you believe the economy is shifting to a new model – one driven by purpose. What are the signs that this is happening? Hurst: I grew up with conversation about economic evolution. My uncle, Stanford economist Marc Porat, coined the term "information economy" in the 1970s to describe the shift that was happening then from the industrial economy. The information economy model allowed for efficiency and scale but it was missing a sense of connection – it was too sterile.
How to define purpose without being too narrow
You have argued that a crucial aspect of purpose is its inherent intangibility – it's not something to be found in a formal announcement. How, then, should a company go about defining its purpose? For me it is about developing a shared understanding in an organization about the meaning of work. It needs to answer the questions: Why do people in this organization come to work? What characteristics bond them together? How do you avoid overstretching or being too narrow?

One of the first quantum computers to be available for real world applications was the D-Wave, created by a company in Vancouver, Canada.

Gender on the pay agenda
Paying women less for the same work has been illegal in many countries for decades. Yet figures show that overall women still earn significantly less than men. What causes this gap? And what are companies doing to address it? Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff told the World Economic Forum in January 2017 that every CEO today needs to look at whether they are paying men and women the same. Wage discrimination has been illegal in many countries for decades, yet the pay gap persists.

Dedicated Is The Tiller Of Eastwick
There, 200 city dwellers come by car and SEPTA to tend 250 garden plots (each 20 by 30 feet), creating bucolia in the midst of blight.

The Original Quail Bell Magazine

I don’t think I’ll ever sleep again. Spring walked in the door at about ten to midnight, gusts of rain with that wet earth smell. Spring taught us in early childhood; we all know that scent, the goodness of it, the life come back.
Space Station Sensor to Capture 'Striking' Lightning Data
[image-94] [image-78] [image-51] Keeping a spare on hand simply makes sense. Just as drivers keep spare tires on hand to replace a flat or blowout, NASA routinely maintains “spares,” too. These flight hardware backups allow NASA to seamlessly continue work in the unlikely event something goes down for a repair. When projects end, these handy spares can sometimes find second lives in new areas for use.
