The Youth in Asia
"THAT'S IT," MY MOTHER SAID AFTER HAVING SADIE PUT TO SLEEP. "MY CAT DAYS ARE OVER."

In the early sixties, during what my mother referred to as the "tail end of the Lassie years," my parents were given two collies they named Rastus and Duchess. We were living in upstate New York, out in the country, and the dogs were free to race through the forest. They napped in meadows and stood knee-deep in frigid streams, costars in their own private dog-food commercial. According to our father, anyone could tell that the two of them were in love.

Late one evening, while lying on a blanket in the garage, Duchess gave birth to a litter of slick, potato-sized puppies. When it looked as though one of them had died, our mother placed the creature in a casserole dish and popped it into the oven, like the witch in "Hänsel and Gretel."

"Oh, keep your shirts on," she said. "It's only set on 200. I'm not baking anyone; this is just to keep him warm."

The heat revived the sick puppy and left us believing our mother was capable of resurrecting the dead.

Faced with the responsibilities of fatherhood, Rastus took off. The puppies were given away, and we moved south, where the heat and humidity worked against a collie's best interests. Duchess's once beautiful coat now hung in ragged patches. Age set in and she limped about the house, clearing rooms with her suffocating farts. When finally, full of worms, she collapsed in the ravine beside our house, we reevaluated our mother's healing powers. The entire animal kingdom was beyond her scope; apparently, she could resurrect only the cute dead.

The oven trick was performed on half a dozen peakish hamsters but failed to work on my first guinea pig, who died after eating a couple of cigarettes and an entire pack of matches.

जयपुर शहर भारत संघ के सबसे बड़े राज्य राजस्थान की राजधानी है। जयपुर राजस्थान का सबसे बडा शहर है। जयपुर को पिंक सिटी अथवा गुलाबी नगरी भी कहते है, इसको सबसे पहले स्टैनली रीड ने पिंक सिटी बोला था । जयपुर की स्थापना आमेर के महाराजा सवाई जयसिंह ने की थी। यूनेस्को द्वारा जुलाई 2019 में जयपुर को वर्ल्ड हेरिटेज सिटी का दर्जा दिया गया है जयपुर अपनी समृद्ध भवन निर्माण-परंपरा, सरस-संस्कृति और ऐतिहासिक महत्व के लिए प्रसिद्ध है। यह शहर तीन ओर से अरावली पर्वतमाला से घिरा हुआ है। जयपुर शहर की पहचान यहाँ के महलों और पुराने घरों में लगे गुलाबी धौलपुरी पत्थरों से होती है जो यहाँ के स्थापत्य की खूबी है। १८७६ में तत्कालीन महाराज सवाई रामसिंह ने इंग्लैंड की महारानी एलिज़ाबेथ प्रिंस ऑफ वेल्स युवराज अल्बर्ट के स्वागत में पूरे शहर को गुलाबी रंग से सजा दिया था। तभी से शहर का नाम गुलाबी नगरी पड़ा है। राजा जयसिंह द्वितीय के नाम पर ही इस शहर का नाम जयपुर पड़ा। जयपुर भारत के टूरिस्ट सर्किट गोल्डन ट्रायंगल का हिस्सा भी है। इस गोल्डन ट्रायंगल में दिल्ली, आगरा और जयपुर आते हैं भारत के मानचित्र में उनकी स्थिति अर्थात लोकेशन को देखने पर यह एक त्रिभुज का आकार लेते हैं। इस कारण इन्हें भारत का स्वर्णिम त्रिभुज इंडियन गोल्डन ट्रायंगल कहते हैं। 
आज के एपिसोड के हमारे तीन सवाल 
1 जयपुर को सर्वप्रथम पिंक सिटी किसने कहा ? 
2 पूरे जयपुर को गुलाबी रंग में कब रंगवाया गया ?
3 गोल्डन ट्रायंगल में भारत के कौन से तीन शहर हैं?
Jaipur is the capital of India’s Rajasthan state. It evokes the royal family that once ruled the region and that, in 1727, founded what is now called the Old City, or “Pink City” for its trademark building color. At the center of its stately street grid (notable in India) stands the opulent, colonnaded City Palace complex. With gardens, courtyards and museums, part of it is still a royal residence.
Our three questions for today's episode
1 Who first called Jaipur as the Pink City?
2 When was the whole of Jaipur painted pink?
3 Which three Indian cities are in the Golden Triangle?

Convergent Thinking vs. Divergent Thinking: Why Planning Isn’t Always the Right Thing to Do

You’re overseeing a project and have all the pieces in place.

Your detailed timeline is mapped out. You’ve set expectations with leaders and team members. You’re prepared to keep all the deliverables organized.

Halfway through the project, a team comes to you with a suggestion—they think they’ve found a better way to handle a piece of the process.

Your stomach drops into your shoes. You’re the taskmaster. The organizer. The keeper of the schedule. This change in direction will only throw a wrench into the flawless plan you spent hours agonizing over. Even if it is a better way to go, you’re cringing at the idea of straying from your beloved system.

Sound familiar? It’s a common scenario for project managers. When you’re the one who’s solely responsible for keeping everything on track, it’s understandable that you’ll white-knuckle your tried and true processes.

But, think about this: You may be limiting the wiggle room team members need to take that project to the next level. By planning away every last inch of flexibility, you’re making it that much tougher to adapt to new information and evolving demands.

So, what do you do? It’s time for project management professionals to not only think of themselves as the keepers of plans, but also the ones responsible for pulling the very best out of teams.

To do so, they need to encourage and enable both pieces of the creative problem-solving process: divergent thinking and convergent thinking.

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
このPodcastをはじめの方から聞いてくれている人は知っているかもしれませんが、僕は妻と今年の6月に岡山から北海道へ引っ越してきました。

ですので、北海道の冬は今年がはじめてです。
どれぐらい雪が降るのかわからない不安もありますが、岡山や大阪で雪が降ることはほとんどないので、楽しみでもあります。

そして、とうとう雪が降りました。
今年の冬にちゃんと降ったのははじめてでした。
昼から夜にかけて、降っていました。
気温が低い雪はサラサラしているので、いいですね。
積もると大変だと思いますが。


ぼくの個人的な雪の経験は、鳥取に住んでいた時のことです。たくさん降った経験があるわけではないですが、降る時はどかっと降るので、その時は大変でした。

雪が積もっている時に、クルマを出すのはめっちゃ大変なんです。まず、雪かきをしてからじゃないと出せないんですね。ですので、いつもより早めに家を出て、車のエンジンをかけて、雪かきをしますね。雪かきをしている間に車の中があたたまり、フロントガラスの氷がとけていきます。そして、やっと車を出せるようになります。

雪の積もり方によりますが、多いと30分とかかかってました。寒い中雪をかいていくので、結構大変ですね。

北海道と同じような緯度の国や地域は同じようなことがあるかもしれないですね。

ヨーロッパの国々や中国やアメリカの北部、韓国、ロシア、カナダなどなど。

もしかしたらニュージーランドの冬も同じようになるんですかね。どうなんでしょう。

ということで、今回は雪が降りました！という話から、僕の以前の雪かきの経験の話をしました。

雪かきなど毎年してるよ！という方、いや、雪は見たことがない！という方もよければオンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！ということで、今回は以上です。

最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
