Chances are you’ve heard — or rather, not heard — the effects of a noise gate, but unless you’re into audio engineering, you probably didn’t realize it. Ever been at a concert or listen to a radio broadcast where it sounds great when there’s music playing or a voice speaking, but no hiss in the pauses between? Unless the signal happens to be really clean, odds are that was a noise gate at work, removing the hiss while letting the loud parts shine through....
We all know it’s best to avoid talking about politics, religion, and sexual orientation. Usually you are just looking for a pleasant way to pass the time and maybe to find a new friend.

One of the things that is so hard to grasp about “next actions” or “tasks” is that they are single actions – buy something, call someone, go somewhere, look something up. In and of themselves, they have no end goal other than their own immediate completion.

My friend is hardworking and always lends a hand to co-workers in need. She keeps accepting jobs until they are more than what she can bear. In the end, she makes her co-workers happy but she suffers in silence alone....
The easiest rule to remember when it comes to understanding composting is that if it comes from plant matter, it’s probably OK to compost -and that includes newspapers and cardboard. A few other things you can include that aren’t plant-based are pet hair, egg shells, dryer lint, fireplace ash and the waste from animals who eat plant-based diets. Plastic, dog and cat waste, charcoal, meat scraps, dairy products, and oils are all big no-nos when it comes to composting....

Allow your customers to actually communicate with your company’s social media accounts, and reach out to them when possible. You might be surprised at how much you could gain in terms of customer relations from a little back-and-forth online....

Here’s what a typical workplace culture looks like: Business demands have gotten steadily tougher. Organizations demand their staff work longer hours, often at a faster pace. The reason? To beat off competition from other businesses doing the same thing. It’s a vicious cycle — a no-holds-barred game where the stakes are constantly raised. No one seems to consider the alternative of stepping aside and allowing the lemmings to race each other off the cliff....
