Many parents see themselves in their children. And when a child is evaluated and diagnosed with ADHD, some parents realize that they have had the same struggles. Research shows that as many as 1 in 5 people have ADHD and because we know that the heritability of ADHD is about 80%, the odds that many adults are struggling with undiagnosed ADHD are high. With this realization, many parents are receiving an ADHD diagnosis during adulthood and like today's guest, their struggles make a lot of sense. Holly Blanc Moses returns to the podcast today to share her own experience with a late diagnosis of ADHD. We also discuss what it's like parenting when you yourself have ADHD and what strategies are helpful for navigating the parent and life journey. Holly is the host of The Autism ADHD Podcast where she describes this experience, offers support and resources for parents, and continues to navigate her own parenting journey of two neurodivergent children.   Show Notes: [2:13] - Welcome back, Holly! [3:51] - Holly learned that she struggled because of undiagnosed ADHD and opened up about it on her podcast The Autism ADHD Podcast. [5:50] - Holly reflects back on her childhood and the struggles that make more sense now that she understands her diagnosis. [7:37] - The symptoms are different in girls and women because they are so good at masking. Symptoms are often overlooked. [9:14] - Many adults who have gone undiagnosed have created a story in their minds that they aren't good enough. [11:01] - Holly describes her experience in realizing that she likely has ADHD and why she sought an evaluation for herself. [12:28] - The completion of the evaluation and the diagnosis of ADHD was such a relief for Holly. [14:30] - Some tasks for Holly are still very hard, but she is able to focus without distraction on her interests. [15:53] - A lot of parents become concerned that they can't help manage their child's ADHD if they can't manage their own. [19:22] - Many women with ADHD also struggle with perfectionism. [21:55] - We have to be patient with ourselves and stop beating ourselves up. We have to look at a lot and be okay with not getting everything done. [26:05] - Don't try to be something that you are not. [27:21] - Mindfulness is important. [30:03] - Connect with Holly through her podcast The Autism ADHD Podcast.   About Our Guest: Holly Blanc Moses is a neurodivergent therapist, coach, and online course creator who specializes in supporting neurodivergent children, teens, adults, and their families.

Aujourd'hui, j'ai le plaisir d'accueillir sur le podcast Jérôme Tourbier, Directeur des Sources de Caudalie et des Sources de Cheverny.Jérôme est vraiment une personnalité qui gagne à être connue. Il ne prend pas souvent la parole en public, et c'est d'ailleurs une des raisons pour lesquelles j'étais honorée de l'accueillir à mon micro :) D'autant plus que Jérôme a un parcours absolument incroyable : il tombe un peu par hasard dans le monde de l'hôtellerie à 25 ans et devient à cette époque Directeur d'hôtel alors que rien ne l'y prédestinait. Quelques années plus tard, son succès est tel qu'il lance avec son épouse Alice un groupe hôtelier sur le thème de l'œnotourisme : Les Sources. Dans cet épisode on a parlé de vocation, on a parlé humain, persévérance, travail en couple, anxiété ou encore de la nécessité d'exercer son discernement. Des sujets qui me sont chers et qui j'espère vous aideront :) Je suis sûre que cet épisode plaira à beaucoup de personnes même ceux qui ne s'intéressent pas particulièrement au secteur de l'hôtellerie.N'hésitez pas d'ailleurs à partager l'épisode sur les réseaux sociaux, je suis sûre que Jérôme en sera ravi.Notes et références de l'épisode : -Les Sources de Caudalie : SiteInstagramLinkedInFacebook-Les Sources de Cheverny : SiteInstagramLinkedInFacebook-Pour retrouver Jérôme : LinkedInInstagram-Livres cités dans l'épisode : Blanc, de Sylvain Tesson1.

WE HAVE YETI BLANC BACK ON TO DISCUSS: -SUEY AWARDS -CHURCH'S MUSICAL INFLUENCE -ANDREW STREETER JOINS!  

Tous les écoliers de France le savent : du haut de ses 4.810 mètres, le mont Blanc est le plus haut sommet de l'Hexagone. Il doit donc se voir de très loin. Et, de fait, on peut parfois l'apercevoir depuis la Suisse ou même l'Alsace. Certains prétendent même qu'un visiteur parvenu au sommet de la Tour Eiffel pourrait distinguer cette montagne. Il est vrai que l'œil humain est capable de discerner des objets très éloignés. Et il les verra d'autant mieux qu'ils sont plus hauts et que l'observateur est lui-même plus grand. Ainsi, si une personne d'1,80 m peut distinguer un homme à une distance de près de 4,80 km, il pourra apercevoir la flèche de la cathédrale de Chartres, qui s'élève à plus de 110 m du sol, même s'il se trouve à 38 km de là. Une planète sphérique Alors, est-il possible de voir le mont Blanc depuis la Tour Eiffel ? Sans répondre encore à cette question, il faut rappeler que certaines conditions doivent être réunies pour qu'un observateur distingue un objet lointain. Il faut d'abord qu'aucun obstacle n'obstrue le champ de vision de l'observateur. Par ailleurs, il verra plus loin s'il gagne en hauteur. À cet égard, la Tour Eiffel est donc un bon point d'observation. Notre planète étant sphérique, les objets que l'observateur s'efforce de voir vont finir par disparaître sous la ligne d'horizon. Pour calculer cette distance, à partir de laquelle les objets ne sont plus visibles, il faut recourir au célèbre théorème de Pythagore. Il nous enseigne que le mont Blanc est visible à 247,5 km à la ronde, alors que la Tour Eiffel, haute de 324 m peut être encore aperçue par un observateur situé à 64,2 km. Or, comme la distance de Paris au mont Blanc est d'un peu plus de 475 km, il est donc impossible de percevoir la montagne du haut du célèbre monument parisien. En altitude, enfin, la lumière ne se diffuse pas tout à fait en ligne droite, ce qui limite la perception des objets lointains. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

n° 315 / 17 septembre 2023. Connaissez-vous notre site ? www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr Une émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 19 avril 2023. Avec cette semaine : Jean-Pierre Blanc, Directeur général de Malongo. Akram Belkaïd, journaliste au Monde diplomatique. Matthias Fekl, avocat et ancien ministre de l'Intérieur. Lucile Schmid, vice-présidente de La Fabrique écologique et membre du comité de rédaction de la revue Esprit. Jean-Pierre Blanc, vous êtes le Directeur général de Malongo, la PME française spécialisée dans l'importation, la torréfaction et la distribution de cafés biologiques et équitables. Vous avez effectué l'intégralité de votre carrière dans cette entreprise, où vous occupez le poste de Directeur général depuis 1980 après avoir été Responsable des ventes pendant 5 ans. Votre dernier ouvrage, « Voyages aux pays du café » a été publié aux éditions Erick Bonnier en novembre 2022. Vous y faites le récit de vos séjours à Cuba, au Laos ou encore au Congo, où vous avez engagé Malongo dans une démarche de commerce équitable afin de soutenir le développement local et la préservation de la biodiversité. Vous y racontez comment vous avez fait, au Mexique, en 1992, la rencontre du Padre Francisco van der Hoff, le cofondateur du premier label de commerce équitable « Max Havelaar ». C'est lui qui vous a convaincu du bien-fondé de ce modèle, fondé sur des partenariats pluriannuels avec des coopératives de petits producteurs qui garantissent des prix rémunérateurs pour les producteurs et valorisent des modes de production respectueux de l'environnement. Malongo est aujourd'hui le premier intervenant des cafés issus du commerce équitable et de l'agriculture biologique. Cette entreprise de torréfaction, fondée à Nice en 1934, emploie près de 400 collaborateurs et génère plus de 110M€ de chiffre d'affaires, selon les chiffres de 2019. 66% de son volume de café importé est certifié « Max Havelaar » et 26% est certifié « agriculture biologique ». L'entreprise travaille avec 16 pays producteurs de café équitable et reverse chaque année aux coopératives plusieurs millions d'euros de primes bio et développement. Plus récemment, Malongo s'est illustré sur un autre segment de l'économie responsable, en relocalisant intégralement la fabrication de sa machine à café à La Roche-sur-Yon, en Vendée. Le marché de l'alimentation « responsable » subit aujourd'hui les contrecoups de l'envolée des prix à la consommation. Dans sa dernière note de conjoncture en date du 14 avril, l'INSEE relève ainsi que les prix à la consommation ont augmenté, au mois de mars 2023, de 5.7% sur un an. Selon le quatrième baromètre de la transition alimentaire, réalisé par OpinionWay, le prix est devenu le critère prioritaire lors du passage en caisse pour sept Français sur dix. Cela représente une hausse de 7 points en un an et de 10 points en deux ans. Cette tendance concerne cependant moins certains groupes de la population, comme les 18-24 ans qui restent particulièrement sensibles à l'empreinte écologique de leur alimentation. Le modèle du commerce équitable doit également répondre aux critiques sur la multiplication des labels, qui entretient selon ses détracteurs l'opacité sur les cahiers des charges et sur le respect effectif de celui-ci par les producteurs. Certains labels ont été accusés de faciliter le « socialwashing » des entreprises, dans un contexte où le commerce équitable gagne des parts de marché et a franchi la barre des 2 milliards d'euro de vente en France en 2021. Des voix s'élèvent également pour dénoncer l'impact écologique de ce système et privilégient les circuits courts, la production locale et la consommation de saison. Face à ces difficultés, le chercheur à l'Institut du développement durable et des relations internationales (IDDRI) Frédéric Amiel pense que le commerce équitable doit « se repenser » pour « aller plus loin » et propose à cette fin le développement de clauses de « garantie d'achat » améliorant la visibilité à moyen-terme des producteurs et l'assouplissement de la réglementation fiscale sur les produits équitables importés.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

Rian Johnson's 2019 mystery-comedy Knives Out carved out $311 million at the box office on a budget of $40 million, making it the second-highest-grossing original movie of the year not based on existing IP. The sequel rights set off a bidding war between the top streamers, with Netflix beating Amazon and Apple with a $469 million offer. Released December 23rd, 2022, the follow-up saw the return of Daniel Craig's Southern sleuth Benoit Blanc, with another all-star cast of characters populating the film's Greek island setting. Edward Norton, Kate Hudson, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, and Dave Bautista round out the who's who in this whodunnit, which received a very limited theatrical release. Now Beef and Lobster are peeling back the layers of this streaming sequel. I suspect we'll press play!

Segment 2, September 16th, 2023 What's the background of a Charlotte-area businessman?  He may work with a business that you know, maybe he works with your property, or your family.  Maybe you grew up with him or went to his school.  However- you probably don't know one of his passions over his life and career & how the directions within those passions came about. Walter Bridgeman is the owner of Remedics Restoration Carolinas.  He purchased that business in 2016.  Although he takes care of properties that have had water, fire, mold, smoke damage he began a resume of adventure years before. Introduced to the outdoors growing up in Charlotte through Scouting & a NOLS course while attending UNC - Chapel Hill, it was a Boy Scout trip the introduced him to mountaineering. On this segment we'll learn Bridgeman's story of Divine Intervention.  He'll be telling this true, autobiographical account at Storyteller's Night at Jesse Brown's on Thursday, September 21st, 2023.  Bridgeman will be joining Tom Blocker telling his story Fast Lane & Gracy Ly & Marty Ohlhaut with their family saga, Tent for Seven. We'll learn about some of the mountains, the dangers, the fears, and the fun.  A few of the mountains discussed & climbed are Ranier, Baker, Denali, Mt. Blanc, Grand Teton, Washington in the winter, & Pico de Orizaba. Note:  Bridgeman has shopped in all the outdoor stores that Jesse Brown's has had since 1971.  In fact, Bridgeman thought the SouthPark-area was far away from Cotswold.  Now it seems so close to get to Jesse Brown's.

Troisième épisode de notre série « nouvelles routes de la soie, dix ans après » au Sri Lanka et plus précisément au sud de l'île au 22 millions d'habitants, l'ancien fief du président déchu Gotabaya Rajapaksa. Coup de projecteur sur le port d'Hambantota, construit avant le lancement des « nouvelles routes de la soie » et devenu au fil du temps le symbole des dérives mégalomaniaques des Rajapakse, qui ont plongé le pays dans le chaos et l'une des pires crises économiques et politiques de son histoire. Pour rejoindre la pointe Sud de l'île depuis la capitale Colombo, il ne faut désormais plus que 3h30. Flambant neuve, inaugurée en 2015, l'extension de l'autoroute du Sud financée et construite par les Chinois est tout un symbole. La première autoroute du pays, qui relie aujourd'hui les ports de Colombo et d'Hambantota et les deux aéroports internationaux de Colombo et de Mattala, fait partie des nombreux projets d'infrastructures développés à coup de milliards de dollars de crédit, et aujourd'hui sous le label des « nouvelles routes de la soie ».Le cas du port en eau profonde d'Hambantota est encore plus emblématique. Pour rembourser une partie de ses dettes, le Sri Lanka a dû accorder une concession de 99 ans sur les activités commerciales du port à une entreprise publique chinoise (CMPH). Ces projets sont qualifiés « d'éléphant blanc », une expression tirée d'une légende thaïe pour désigner tous ces investissements démesurés qui ont contribué à ruiner le pays. Et dans le cas d'Hambantota, à exacerber le conflit entre l'homme et la faune sauvage.Un écosystème chambouléDepuis la construction du port d'Hambantota, la coexistence ancestrale entre les humains et les éléphants n'est plus du tout pacifique. Début juillet, en seulement trois jours, quatre villageois ont perdu la vie suite à des attaques d'éléphants sauvages. Ces comportements hostiles s'expliquent par la déforestation et la dégradation de l'habitat naturel des pachydermes, qui les obligent à rechercher des ressources vitales en dehors des forêts et des zones protégées. A Hambantota, les villageois rapportent la mort tragique de 17 personnes en un peu plus d'un mois. Au niveau national et selon les données officielles, 2022 a connu une mortalité record avec 145 décès d'humains et 433 décès d'éléphantsA Gonnoruwa, un village à une dizaine de kilomètres au nord du port, Nanini vient d'apprendre la mort de son fils, piétiné par un pachyderme alors qu'il se rendait à son travail. Le jeune homme avait emprunté comme chaque matin un raccourci, créé par l'entreprise qui a construit l'autoroute pour acheminer son matériel et qui traverse une réserve forestière. L'aire censée être une zone protégée est gérée par le bureau de la faune sauvage. Les villageois dénoncent une absence totale de signalisation ou de clôtures électriques pour protéger les humains. Sur ces terres à majorité cinghalaise et bouddhiste et dont près de la moitié des habitants vit en dessous du seuil de pauvreté, la vie ne tient qu'à un fil.Roshan Rajika peut en témoigner. Ce passionné d'environnement reçoit chaque jour des appels de villageois paniqués pour lui signaler la présence d'éléphants dans leurs rizières ou à proximité de leur maison. Une nuit, tous les rouleaux électriques des petits commerces dans un des villages ont été saccagés. Un éléphant affamé était passé par là.Le quadragénaire a filmé des centaines de vidéo de ces créatures majestueuses. Il se souvient du temps où la zone de Karagan Lewaya abritait une riche biodiversité. Autrefois visité par des oiseaux migrateurs et des troupeaux d'éléphants, l'espace est désormais occupé par le complexe portuaire et un gigantesque terrain qui sera transformé à terme en zone industrielle. Roshan en veut beaucoup aux autorités. « Je n'ai rien contre le développement, mais il n'y a eu aucune étude de faisabilité, de protection de la nature ou de stratégie pour éviter le conflit actuel homme-faune. Tous ces projets ont été initiés par notre gouvernement. Quand la construction du port a débuté, les autorités ont bâti des villages pour reloger les fermiers sans tenir compte des éléphants. La construction du port et des nombreux villages a grignoté leur habitat naturel et ce avec la bénédiction des politiciens locaux. »Des éléphants blancsC'est aussi l'avis de Saman Sudarashana, le secrétaire de l'association des fermiers de la région, qui dénonce les incohérences du gouvernement. « Notre district compte environ 450 éléphants. Le gouvernement a reconnu la région comme une zone de conservation de l'habitat des éléphants tout en lançant des projets de développement comme l'aéroport de Mattala, l'autoroute, un stade de cricket ou encore un gigantesque centre de conférence. Tout cela a été construit au beau milieu des aires protégées poussant les éléphants à venir se nourrir sur les terres agricoles. » Le secrétaire de l'association souligne le ras-le-bol de la population locale. « Personne ne se soucie de notre bien-être ni de celui des animaux. À cause de tous ces projets mal planifiés, des gens perdent leur vie, des maisons sont saccagées. Et les récoltes, cultivées au prix de nombreux sacrifices, sont détruites. Ce n'est pas la faute des éléphants, ce sont les élus qui ont mal géré la situation. Malgré les fréquentes manifestations et plusieurs grèves de la faim, les fermiers savent qu'ils ne peuvent compter que sur eux-mêmes. Dans cette zone sèche qui souffre de problèmes chroniques d'approvisionnement en eau potable, l'un des enjeux majeurs sera de trouver des financements pour construire un réservoir d'eau pour les éléphants, seule solution viable et durable, estime Saman Sudarashana.Ces éléphants blancs ont non seulement ruiné le pays mais aussi bouleversé la vie de centaines de familles, expropriées de leurs terres et relocalisées à des kilomètres plus au nord en échange de maigres compensations. Piyadasa 75 ans tient une petite épicerie en bord de route. C'est aussi le domicile de sa fille et de ses deux petits enfants. Le septuagénaire vivait à l'emplacement du port et cultivait des noix de cajou bio, destinées à l'export. La production lui permettait de vivre très correctement.  « Avant 2007, nous pouvions subvenir à nos besoins, vivre de notre travail. J'avais près de six hectares de terres cultivables, se souvient-il nostalgique. Aujourd'hui j'ai tout perdu. Je ne gagne que 10% de ce que je gagnais avant. Toute la région s'est transformée en zone semi-urbaine. Près de 180 familles dont une trentaine qui étaient mes voisins sur le site du port ont été relocalisées dans le village. Et je n'ai eu que 3 200 euros de compensation. »Impact économiqueInterrogé sur ce qu'il pense de la famille Rajapaksa, dont Hambantota est le fief ancestral, l'épicier répond sans ambages. « Tous les politiques sont pareils. Vous savez, j'ai des liens familiaux avec les Rajapaksa du côté paternel. Mon père m'a toujours dissuadé de voter pour eux. Il me disait : "les Rajapaksa sont tous des escrocs !" Moi, je suis pour Sajith Premadasa, le chef de l'opposition. Je ne soutiens pas non plus l'actuel président Ranil Wickremesinghe car il a des liens de parenté avec la femme de Mahinda Rajapaksa. Ils sont tous corrompus et se protègent les uns les autres. »Le district d'Hambantota compte environ 600 000 habitants, dont la majorité vit de l'agriculture et de la pêche. Le port de pêche avec son marché se situe à environ 3 km à vol d'oiseau du port international d'Hambantota.Le regard fatigué, vêtu d'un sarong et d'une chemise à carreaux, Jaufer Moulana, 57 ans, pêche depuis l'âge de 12 ans. Sa vie aussi a été chamboulée depuis la construction du port en eau profonde, qui se trouve sur la route stratégique des cargos entre l'Europe et l'Extrême-Orient.« Les cargos nous créent pas mal de problèmes. Avant, on pêchait à l'emplacement du port et on attrapait beaucoup de poissons. Aujourd'hui, la Marine nous interdit de nous y attarder à cause du passage des navires. Dans l'idéal, on aimerait pouvoir y aller le soir et rester jusqu'au matin, mais si un navire passe à ce moment-là, nos filets sont détruits. C'est déjà arrivé trois fois cette année. » Jaufer se plaint de l'énorme manque à gagner. « On nous oblige à quitter la zone, avant même d'avoir réussi à attraper assez de poissons. Vous ne pouvez même plus y planter un hameçon ! Je n'arrive plus à rentrer dans mes frais. » Et de fait, ce matin, le pêcheur n'a rien gagné, il n'a même pas pu couvrir ses dépenses d'essence, entre 10 et 15L qu'il a dû acheter à crédit.Pour comprendre ce sentiment d'abandon et l'inaction des élus, nous avons tenté de rencontrer le secrétaire de la mairie du district, M. Sumanasekara. L'entretien sera de courte durée. Le regard fuyant et le ton sec, l'agent du gouvernement a refusé de répondre à nos questions. Il nous a invité à écrire au ministère de l'Information pour obtenir une autorisation.Quand une porte se ferme, une autre s'ouvre, disait le célèbre écrivain espagnol Cervantès. Cette règle ne s'applique malheureusement pas à Hambantota. Sous un faux prétexte, la visite du port géré par la compagnie China Merchants Port Holdings, pourtant acceptée des semaines en amont et avec à l'appui une liste de questions que nous souhaitions poser, a été annulé à la dernière minute. Selon le service de presse du port, la personne dont on n'a jamais eu le nom et qui était chargée de nous faire visiter le port a dû quitter le pays de manière impromptu pour assister à des réunions urgentes.« No Go Zone »Le complexe portuaire ressemble à une base militaire. Les quatre routes menant aux terminaux sont coupées par des check points, truffés de caméras et surveillées par des agents privés et parfois aussi la marine sri-lankaise. Impossible de s'en approcher. Notre chauffeur de tuk-tuk a dû s'arrêter à deux reprises pour un contrôle routier aux abords du complexe portuaire.Un salarié du port a tout de même accepté de répondre à quelques questions par téléphone et sous couvert d'anonymat. Le jeune homme a confirmé que l'activité principale du port était le transbordement de véhicule. Combien de navires accostent le quai ? Entre dix et quinze selon lui, sur les trois derniers mois et les deux premiers de l'année. C'est la période où le trafic est le plus intense. L'écrasante majorité des employés sont des locaux. Tandis que les Chinois, quelques dizaines, travaillent dans le bâtiment de l'administration portuaire, auquel les Sri-Lankais n'ont pas accès.Notre interlocuteur ajoute que les salaires sont satisfaisants et que les repas sont fournis par l'entreprise. Une ombre au tableau toutefois : depuis que le port est géré par les Chinois, les promotions se font très rares et l'incertitude demeure étant donné que les contrats sont renouvelés tous les ans. Globalement et pour conclure, l'employé du port voit un impact plutôt positif sur sa vie et celles des jeunes de son village. Une cinquantaine ont pu être embauchés dans le port.Monsieur 10 %Frappés par une crise économique sans précédent depuis plus d'un an, les villageois résignés, reconnaissent qu'ils ne peuvent compter que sur eux-mêmes. Le malaise est profond à Hambantota. Un mot revient dans toutes nos conversations : la corruption. Une corruption endémique en particulier dans les sphères du pouvoir et autour du clan politique des Rajapaksa.Aruna Kulantuga, économiste politique à Colombo dénonce la cupidité des élites. À titre d'exemple, il cite le nom de l'un des frères de l'ex-président : Basil Rajapaksa, ancien ministre des Finances, communément appelé « Monsieur 10 % ». On l'a affublé de ce surnom en raison des commissions qu'il a perçues sur tous les contrats signés ces dernières années.  Et dans le cas d'Hambantota, l'économiste revient sur un épisode de 2014, lorsque l'ancien gouvernement Sirisena étranglé par les dettes cherchait une issue de secours.« Le coût du crédit pour la construction du port était estimé à 1,2 milliard de dollars. Mais l'entreprise qui a construit le port a révélé que la construction avait coûté 900 millions. Où sont passés les 300 millions restants ? Personne ne le sait. Une enquête diligentée en 2014 et menée jusqu'en 2019 a simplement conclu que tout cet argent avait disparu. Il ne se trouve pas dans le pays, ni même en Chine. Cet argent apparaît sur des comptes à Dubaï ou dans des propriétés luxueuses en Grande-Bretagne. Des centaines de millions de dollars ont été blanchis sans qu'on ait pu apporter des preuves. »Piège de la dette ?En moins de 20 ans, les investissements chinois au Sri Lanka ont augmenté à près de 12 milliards de dollars. Aujourd'hui, le pays doit 10 % de sa dette totale et 20 % de sa dette publique à la Chine seule, soit la plus haute proportion parmi ses nombreux prêteurs.Etranglé par les prêts, Colombo a dû se résoudre à céder à la Chine l'exploitation de son port du Sud pour 99 ans. Hambantota est ainsi devenu l'exemple par excellence en Occident du « piège de la dette », un terme utilisé pour la première fois en juin 2018 dans une enquête du New York Times et qui a depuis été largement diffusé dans la presse occidentale et parmi les chercheurs pour dénoncer la stratégie prédatrice de la Chine. Le cas du Sri Lanka a dans le même temps écorné les grandes ambitions de prospérité véhiculées par Pékin dans sa promotion des mégaprojets associés aux « nouvelles routes de la soie ».Mais pour l'analyste économique Thilina Panduwawala, le terme de « piège de la dette » est inapproprié dans le cas du port d'Hambantota. Son travail de recherche consiste comme il dit à séparer « les mythes de la réalité ». Il revient sur les étapes successives du projet. « Les principaux bailleurs sont les Chinoises Exim Bank et China Development Bank. Les emprunts ont débuté vers l'an 2000. Entre 2007 et 2014, le Sri Lanka a emprunté 1,2 milliard pour la construction du port d'Hambantota. Dès 2016, il devient évident que le pays est incapable de rembourser ses dettes. Ranil Wickremesinghe alors Premier ministre évoque au Parlement le lourd fardeau de la dette. Il décide de louer le port à China Merchants Port Holdings en échange de 930 millions de dollars, afin de renflouer les caisses vides en devises étrangères, et d'éviter de contracter de nouvelles dettes. »C'est à partir de là que l'on commence à parler de confiscation des avoirs par la Chine. Or, en réalité, aucune clause de ce type n'existe dans le contrat, souligne Thilina Panduwawala qui affirme avoir consulté le contrat que lui et son équipe rendront public prochainement. « Le crédit contracté auprès d'Exim Bank continue d'être remboursé, la dette n'a pas été effacée et l'argent perçu par la signature du bail à servi à accroitre les réserves de change », conclut-il.Aruna Kulatunga réfute également la théorie du piège de la dette. Ce dernier explique comment le clan Rajapaksa, tout puissant au sortir de la guerre civile en 2009-2010, a cherché à asseoir sa popularité en se lançant dans des projets trop coûteux. « Si l'on regarde les chiffres, plus de la moitié des emprunts provient de créances privées, c'est-à-dire du marché obligataire, accordés à des taux assez élevés entre 4 et 8 %, tandis que les taux des prêts bilatéraux étaient plutôt bas de l'ordre de 3 ou 4 %. Le leadership de l'époque a été frappé par un égo démesuré. Pour perpétuer cette adoration, ils ont investi tous azimut sans se soucier des conséquences. »Toute la responsabilité repose, selon l'économiste politique, sur les autorités sri-lankaises. « Ce ne sont pas les Chinois qui sont arrivés pour nous dire prenez, prenez l'argent, c'est nous qui avons emprunté. On le sait maintenant, car les données commencent à sortir, que les Chinois nous ont conseillé d'aller doucement, de ne pas nous précipiter. »Principe de neutralitéLe résultat est là. La Chine contrôle désormais le port septentrional et Aruna Kulatunga craint les conséquences géopolitiques de cette situation. « Lorsque vous regardez la carte de l'Asie du Sud, vous voyez un port chinois au Pakistan, au Bangladesh et dans le sud du Sri Lanka. Ces ports forment un triangle parfait qui encercle l'Inde. Notre voisin a donc toutes les raisons de s'inquiéter. Car en cas de confrontation, et c'est possible, on ne peut pas l'exclure, l'Inde sera encerclée. Pourquoi avons-nous accepté cela ? Nous n'aurions jamais dû, ce n'était pas dans notre intérêt. »L'expert rappelle le principe de neutralité que son pays s'est toujours imposé dans l'histoire contemporaine. « Nous n'aurions jamais dû être entraînés dans cette rivalité. Nous aurions dû garder une politique d'ouverture de nos ports, de nos eaux territoriales, de notre espace aérien. Et non pas vendre ou louer. Et puis 99 ans, c'est long ! On dit que le centre d'affaires Port City à Colombo est un bail de 99 ans. En réalité, c'est bien plus : une partie restera chinoise à tout jamais ! »Selon Aruna Kulatunga, la Chine compte prochainement investir 4 milliards de dollars supplémentaires, notamment dans la construction d'une raffinerie de pétrole uniquement destinée à l'export. Parmi les candidats sont cités le Chinois Sinopec, le plus grand raffineur d'Asie, ou encore Aramco, le géant pétrolier saoudien.Pour comprendre l'importance du port d'Hambantota il suffit de regarder une mappemonde. Le port se situe à seulement 10 miles nautiques de la route maritime commerciale Est-Ouest la plus fréquentée au monde. Pour comprendre les enjeux de ce port sur la carte des « nouvelles routes de la soie », nous avons interrogé Yasiru Ranaraja, le directeur de BRI SL. Cette organisation internationale de développement et de conseil s'intéresse de près aux projets en lien avec les « nouvelles routes de la soie » au Sri Lanka et dans la région.« Les navires chinois qui transportent du pétrole passent par le détroit de Malacca. La Chine achète la grande majorité du pétrole à l'Arabie saoudite, ses navires empruntent la route maritime ouest/est qui passe par Hambantota, puis le détroit de Malacca jusqu'à la mer de Chine du Sud. S'il arrivait quelque chose, la Chine aurait un grave problème. »Selon Yasiru Ranaraja, l'initiative chinoise comporte plutôt des aspects positifs pour son pays. « Le Sri Lanka pourrait devenir à l'avenir l'emplacement idéal, une base pour le commerce de l'énergie dans la région. Je pense que le port est stratégiquement important aussi bien pour la Chine que pour nous. Le Parlement sri-lankais avait dès les années 1970 des projets pour ce port, ce n'est donc pas nouveau. »Le district d'Hambantota, considéré comme l'une des régions les plus pauvres du Sri Lanka, a bénéficié d'un flux d'investissements considérables. À ce jour, le port et ses 60 km2 de terrain n'ont pas produit les recettes escomptées. Les activités du complexe portuaire sont encore très loin du rêve de Colombo de transformer l'île en hub régional. Pour développer la région et rendre le port viable et lucratif, Pékin devra injecter dans les prochaines années des milliards de dollars supplémentaires. Des projets titanesques à mille lieux des préoccupations et des attentes de la population.

Le sujet fort de l'actualité foot du jour vu par Jérôme Rothen et la Dream Team.

We're dancin' to the rhythm in our heart and soul, cuz it's S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night on O3L! This week, we're all about the songs and albums that soundtrack our Saturday nights. And, yeah, we've got a Saturday Night Fever, and the only cure is... More FLASHCUBES! That's right...our Third Lads this week are bassist Gary Frenay and guitarist Paul Armstrong, one half of Power Pop Hall of Famers The Flashcubes! Gary and Paul, along with guitarist Arty Lenin and drummer Tommy Allen, burst out of Syracuse, NY in 1977. During their initial lifespan of 1977-1980, they released two singles, the classics "Christi Girl" and "Wait Til Next Week," and opened for major acts such as The Runaways, Ramones, The Jam and The Police. (In the case of the latter, here's a "true until proven otherwise" theory for you: Stewart Copeland is wearing a Flashcubes t-shirt on the cover of Regatta de Blanc.) Since the original foursome reformed in the late '90s as powerful and poppy as ever, they haven't looked back, with a string of acclaimed albums and a reputation as a world-class live act. The Flashcubes' latest album on Big Stir Records is Pop Masters, which finds our heroes tackling a selection of 12 guitar pop classics by their contemporaries, with an impressive roster of guest stars, including Pezband's "Baby It's Cold Outside" (with past O3L guest Mimi Betinis), Shoes' "Tomorrow Night" (with another past O3L guest, Jeff Murphy), The Paley Brothers' "Come Out And Play" and more. This is a must have for any power pop connoisseur! Plus, we unveil the latest world famous O3L game: Which Saturday Is It?, in which our discerning contestants distinguish between Saturday Night Fever quotes, Saturday Night Live lines, and lyrics from songs called "Saturday Night." It's gobs o' fun, we tell ya...gobs! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Fat washing is a mixology technique in which you infuse fat into a liquid, and the fat separates and rises to the surface. The result is two flavorful products. The fat is infused with the flavor of the liquid, and the liquid is infused with the flavor from the fat. Mixologists like to fat wash various alcohols to add more depth, mouthfeel, and complexity to cocktails. Chefs can use the infused butter, duck fat or olive oil to make delicious sauces. In this video, Kikkoman Executive Chef Andrew Hunter shows us how to make fat washed citrus seasoned ponzu. Using the fat washed ponzu, he makes a delicate and aromatic beurre blanc served over roasted halibut. Go to the Fat Washed Ponzu & Beurre Blanc Sauce recipe here!   

If something is "good" is that good enough? Who decides?

Edwards Deming. Today, I'm continuing my discussion with Bill Bellows, who has spent 30 years helping people apply Dr. Deming's ideas to become aware of how their thinking is holding them back from their biggest opportunities. The topic for today is, Deming Distinctions: Beyond Looking Good. Bill, take it away. 0:00:30.4 Bill Bellows: Funny you mentioned that. You remind me that I've been at this for over 30 years, and coming up in July, I'll be celebrating 40 years of marriage. Like 30 years, 40, where do these numbers come from? 0:00:44.5 AS: Okay. Yeah. Who defines quality in a marriage, Bill? 0:00:47.0 BB: Alright. 0:00:50.8 AS: Okay, we won't go there. Take us, take it away. 0:00:52.2 BB: We won't go there. So we are gonna talk about who defines quality, and to get into "beyond looking good." As I shared with you, I've listened to each of the podcasts a few times. And before we get into who defines quality, I just wanna provide clarification on some of the things that came up in the first five episodes. And so, one, and I think these are kind of in order, but if they're not in order, okay, well, I made reference to black-and-white thinking versus shades-of-gray thinking. And I called black-and-white thinking - black and white data - category data, and the word I was searching for that just wasn't coming out was attribute data. So for those who are keeping score, attribute data is probably the most relevant statistician term in that regard. 0:01:44.9 BB: Attribute data versus variable data. And what I've made reference to, and we'll talk more in a future session, is looking at things in terms of categories. And categories are black and white, or it could be red, yellow, green, that's three categories, or looking at things on a continuum. So I'm still excited by the difference that comes about by understanding when we're in the black-and-white mode or the category mode or the attribute data mode versus the variable mode, and still have a belief that we can't have continuous improvement or continual improvement if we're stuck in an attribute mode. 0:02:22.9 BB: And more on that later, that's one. I talked about Thomas Jefferson meeting Honoré Blanc and getting excited about the concept of interchangeable parts. And I had the date wrong, that was 1785, if anyone's keeping score there. He was ambassador to France from 1785 to 1789, but it was in 1792 that he wrote a letter to John Jay, who was a...I think he was a Commerce Secretary. Anyway, he was in the administration of Washington and shared the idea. I was doing some research earlier and found out that even with the headstart that Blanc had in France, 'cause back in 1785, Jefferson was invited to this pretty high level meeting in Paris where Blanc took a, I guess, like the trigger mechanism of 50 different rifles. Not the entire rifle, but just the...let's just call it the trigger mechanism with springs and whatnot. And he took the 50 apart and he put all the springs in one box, all the other pieces in their respective boxes and then shook the boxes up and showed that he could just randomly pull a given spring, a given part, and put 'em all together. And that got Jefferson excited. And the...what it meant for Jefferson and the French was not just that you can repair rifles in the battlefield quickly. 0:03:56.9 BB: Now, what it meant for jobs in France was a really big deal, because what the French were liking was all the time it took to repair those guns with craftsmanship, and Blanc alienated a whole bunch of gunsmiths as a result of that. And it turns out, Blanc's effort didn't really go anywhere because there was such a pushback from the gunsmiths, the practicing craftsmanship that jobs would be taken away. But it did come to the States. And then in the early 1800s, it became known as the American System of Production. But credit goes back to Blanc. I also made reference to absolute versus relative interchangeability. And I wanna provide a little bit more clarification there, and I just wanna throw out three numbers, and ideally people can write the numbers down, I'll repeat 'em a few times. The first number is 5.001, second number is 5.999, and the third number is 6.001. So it's 5.001, 5.999, 6.001. And some of what I'm gonna explain will come up again later, but...so this will tie in pretty well. So, what I've been doing is I'll write those three words on the whiteboard or throw them on a screen, and I'll call... 0:05:28.9 AS: Those three numbers. 0:05:31.4 BB: A, B, and C. And I'll say, which two of the three are closest to being the same? And sure enough people will say the 5.999 and the 6.001, which is like B and C. And I say that's the most popular answer, but it's not the only answer. People are like, "well, what other answer are there?" Well, it could be A and C, 5.001 and 6.001, both end in 001. Or it could be the first two, A and B, 5.001 and 5.999. So what I like to point out is, if somebody answers 5.999 and 6.001, then when I say to them, "what is your definition of same?" 0:06:14.9 BB: 'Cause the question is, which two of the three are close to being the same? And it turns out there's three explanations of "same." There's same: they begin with five, there's same: they end in 001. And there's same in terms of proximity to each other. So I just wanna throw that out. Well, then a very common definition of "quality" is to say, does something meet requirements? And that's the black-and-white thinking. I've also explained in the past that requirements are not set in absolute terms. The meeting must start at exactly 1:00, or the thickness must be exactly one inch. What I've explained is that the one inch will have a plus or minus on it. And so let's say the plus and minus gives us two requirements, a minimum of five and a maximum of six. Well, then that means the 5.001 meets requirements and the 5.999 meets requirements. 0:07:15.4 BB: And so in terms of defining quality, in terms of meeting requirements, A and B are both good. And then what about the 5.999 and the 6.001? Well, those numbers are on opposite sides of the upper requirement of six. One's just a little bit to the left and one's a little bit to the right. Then I would ask people, and for some of you, this'll ring - I think you'll be smiling - and I would say to people, "what happens in manufacturing if, Andrew, if I come up with a measurement and it's 6.001?" Okay, relative to defining quality as "meeting requirements," 6.001 does not meet requirements. So what I'll ask people is, "what would a non-Deming company do with a 6.001?" And people will say, "we're gonna take a file out, we're gonna work on it, we're gonna hit it with a hammer." And I say, "no, too much work." And they say, "well, what's the answer?" "We're gonna measure it again." 0:08:25.7 AS: Until we get it right. 0:08:27.7 BB: We will measure it until we get it right. We will change the room temperature. We will take the easiest path. So then I said, get people to realize, they're like, yeah, that's what we do. We measure the 6.001 again. Well, then I say, "well Andrew, why don't we measure the 5.001 again?" And what's the answer to that, Andrew? [laughter] 0:08:51.5 AS: 4.999. [laughter] 0:08:54.7 BB: But what's interesting is, we'll measure the 6.001 again. But we won't measure the 5.001 again. We won't measure the 5.999 again. And so to me, this reinforces that when we define quality as "meeting requirements," that what we're essentially saying in terms of absolute interchangeability, what we're pretending is that there's no difference between the 5.001 and the 5.999. At opposite ends, we're saying that Blanc would find them to be interchangeable, and putting all the things together. I don't think so. 0:09:36.7 BB: I think there's a greater chance that he'd find negligible difference between the 5.999 and the 6.001. And that's what I mean by relative interchangeability, that the difference between B and C is nothing, that's relative interchangeability. The closer they are together, the more alike they are in terms of how they're integrated into the gun, into the rifle, into the downstream product. And I just throw out that what defining quality as "requirements" is saying is that the first two are...the person downstream can't tell the difference. Then I challenge, I think there's...in terms of not telling the difference, I think between 5.999 and 6.001, that difference is minuscule cause they are relatively interchangeable. The other two are implied to be absolutely interchangeable. And that I challenge, that's why I just want to throw that out. All right, another thing I want...go ahead, Andrew. 0:10:38.3 AS: One of the things I just highlight is, I remember from my political science classes at Long Beach State where I studied was The Communist Manifesto came out in 1848. And Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels were talking about the alienation of the worker. And what you're talking about is the kind of, the crushing of the craftsmen through interchangeable parts that was a lot like AI coming along and destroying something. And after 50 or 60 or 70 years of interchangeable parts, along comes The Communist Manifesto with the idea that when a person is just dealing with interchangeable parts, basically they're just a cog in the wheel and they have no connection to the aim of what's going on. They don't have any connection, and all of a sudden you lose the craftsmanship or the care for work. And I think that the reason why this is interesting is because that's, I think, a huge part of what Dr. Deming was trying to bring was bring back...it may not be craftsmanship for creating a shoe if you were a shoemaker, but it would be craftsmanship for producing the best you could for the part that you're playing in an ultimate aim of the system. 0:12:02.6 BB: Yes. And yes, and we'll talk more about that. That's brilliant. What you said also reminds me, and I don't think you and I spoke about it, you'll remind me. But have I shared with you the work of a Harvard philosopher by the name of Michael Sandel? 0:12:24.3 AS: I don't recall. 0:12:27.0 BB: He may be, yeah, from a distance, one of the most famous Harvard professors alive today. He's got a course on justice, which is I think 15 two- or three-hour lectures, which were recorded by public television in Boston. Anyway, he wrote a book at the beginning of the pandemic. It came out, it's called The Tyranny of Merit. 0:12:54.0 BB: And "merit" is this belief that "I did it all by myself." That "I deserve what I have because I made it happen. I had no help from you, Andrew. I had no help from the government. I didn't need the education system, the transportation system. I didn't need NASA research. I made it happen all by myself." And he said, what that belief does is it allows those who are successful to claim that they did it by themselves. It allows them to say those who didn't have only themselves to blame. And he sees that as a major destructive force in society, that belief. And I see it tied very well to Deming. Let me give you one anecdote. Dr. Deming was interviewed by Priscilla Petty for The Deming of America documentary, which was absolutely brilliant. 0:13:49.8 BB: And she's at his home, and he's sharing with her the medal he got from the Emperor of Japan, and he's holding it carefully, and I think he gives it to her, and she's looking at it, and she says to him something like, so what did it mean to you to receive that? And he said, "I was lucky. I made a contribution." He didn't say I did it all by myself. He was acknowledging that he was in the right place at the right time to make a contribution. And that's where Sandel is also heavily on, is don't deny the role of being born at the right time in the right situation, which is a greater system in which we are. Well, for one of the college courses, I was watching an interview between Sandel and one of his former students. 0:14:48.1 BB: And the point Sandel made that I wanted to bring up based on what you just said, he says, "what we really need to do is get people dignity in work." And that's what you're talking about, is allowing them to have pride in work, dignity in work instead of as they're making interchangeable parts, having them feel like an interchangeable part. And I'm really glad you brought that up because when we talk later about letter grades, I would bring back one of the reasons I find Deming's work astounding, is that he takes into account psychology in a way that I hope our listeners will really take heart to in a deeper way. 0:15:30.2 AS: And so for the listeners out there, just to reinforce, the book is called The Tyranny of Merit: What's Become of the Common Good. Published in 2020 by Michael Sandel. And the ratings on Amazon is 4.5 out of five with about 2,446 ratings. So it's a pretty well-rated book I'd say. And looks interesting. Now you got me wanting to read that one. 0:15:57.0 BB: Oh what I'll do is I'll send you a... Well, what I encourage our listeners to do is find the interview... Harvard Bookstore did an interview in 2020, 2021, with Michael Sandel being interviewed by his former student by the name of Preet Bharara. [laughter] Who used to be the... 0:16:24.3 AS: SEC... 0:16:24.4 BB: Head of these...no, well, he prosecuted a number of people for SEC crimes, but he headed the Justice Department's long oldest district, which is known as SDNY or the Southern District of New York. And so he was a...in one of the first classes his freshman year at Harvard, Preet Bharara's freshman year at Havard was one of Sandel's first years. And so they had an incredible conversation. So I would encourage the listeners to... 0:16:51.8 AS: Yeah, it's titled: Michael J Sandel with Preet Bharara at Harvard. And the channel is called Harvard Bookstore. 0:16:58.6 BB: Yes, absolutely. All right. So another topic I want to get to in terms of clarification and key points, last time we talked about tools and techniques and what I'm not sure I made much about.... First of all, I just wanna really reinforce that tools and techniques are not concepts and strategies. Tools are like a garden tool I use to dig a hole. Technique is how I go about using it, cleaning it, and whatnot. Not to be confused from a concept...and what is concept? We talked about last time is a concept is an abstract idea and a strategy is how do we apply it? So tools and techniques within Six Sigma quality could be control charts, could be design of experiments. And all, by the way, you're gonna find those tools and techniques within the Deming community. So it's not to say the tools and techniques are the differentiator. 0:17:50.8 BB: I think the concepts and strategies are the differentiators, but I don't wanna downplay tools. Lean has tools in terms of value streams, and you won't find value streams per se in Dr. Deming's work. Dr. Deming looks in terms of production viewed as a system. In a later session, I want to talk about value streams versus Deming's work. But I just wanna point out that I find it...it's easy to get lost in the weeds with all we find within Lean, Six Sigma, Deming and whatnot. And this is why last time I wanted to focus on tools and techniques as separate from concepts and strategies. And what I think we did speak about last time, again, for just as a reminder, is what's unique that we both enjoy with Dr. Deming's work is that KPIs are not caused by individual departments, assigned to individual departments. 0:18:46.0 BB: KPIs are viewed as measures of the overall system. And if you assign the KPIs across the organization and give every different function their own KPI, what you're likely to find - not likely - what you WILL find is that those assigned KPIs are interfering with others' abilities to get their KPIs met. And in the Deming philosophy, you don't have that problem because you understand that things are interdependent, not independent. And so I just wanna close by saying what I find in Deming's work to be most enlightening is this sense of "what does it mean to look at something as a system?" And it means everything is connected to everything else. When you define quality in terms of saying "this is good because it meets requirements," what you've just said is, "this is good in isolation." Whether it's the pass from the quarterback to the wide receiver, saying the pass met requirements. 0:19:52.0 BB: What I think Dr. Deming would ask is, "is the ball catchable?" [laughter] And yet, what I've seen in my aerospace experience is parts being measured for airplanes in Australia that they meet requirements because the measurements are taken early in the morning before the sun has had a chance to heat the part up. And we get the 6.001 is now 5.999. You know what that means, Andrew? It's - we can now ship it. [laughter] 0:20:23.9 BB: And send it off to America for some airplane factory. 0:20:26.2 AS: When we shipped it, that's what it was. 0:20:28.9 BB: Exactly. And so, again, interdependence is everything. Go ahead, Andrew. 0:20:34.6 AS: I wanted to point on, there's a company in Thailand that really has gotten on the KPI bandwagon, and I was talking with some people that work there, and they were just talking about how they've been rolling out the KPIs for the last couple of years and down to the number of seconds that you're on the phone and everything that you do is tracked now. And then I just witnessed that company basically use that KPI as a way to basically knock out a whole group of people that they were trying to get rid of by coming in with tight KPIs and then saying, "you're not keeping up with 'em and therefore you're out." And I just thought...and the manager that was involved I was talking to, you could just see, he saw how KPI can just be weaponized for the purposes of the senior management when you're doing KPIs of individuals. And the thing that I was thinking about is, imagine the CEO of that company in a couple of years, in a couple of months, they happen to listen to this podcast, or they pick up a book of Dr. Deming and they think, "Oh my God, what did I just do over the last five years implementing KPIs down to the individual level?" [laughter] 0:21:48.5 BB: Oh, yeah. And that's what we talked about last time is...as I told you, I had a friend of a friend who's worked for Xerox, and he said there wasn't a KPI that was flowed down that they couldn't find a way to beat. And that's what happens, and you end up getting things done, but what's missing is: at whose expense? All right. So we talked about...now, let's get into beyond looking good, Deming distinctions. Who defines quality? Well, from Philip Crosby's perspective, quality's defined by the...it could be the designer. The designer puts a set of requirements on the component, whatever it is. The unit, the requirements have latitude we talked about. They're not exact. There's a minimum of six, a maximum of...or a minimum of five, maximum of six. 0:22:48.8 BB: There's a range you have to meet, is the traditional view of quality. And in my 30 years of experience, I've not seen quality defined any other way than that. It has to be in between these two values. Sometimes it has to be five or below or six or above, but there's a range. But also what we talked about last time is Dr. Deming said "a product or service possesses quality if it helps someone and enjoys a sustainable market." But what I found profound about that definition, it is not me defining quality and saying, "Andrew, the parts met requirements when I threw it. Now, it's your job to catch it." It's me saying, "I've thrown the ball and you tell me, how did I do? You tell me how did I do?" And if you said, "Bill, if you throw it just a little bit higher, a little bit further out, a little bit faster," that's about synchronicity. Now, I'm realizing that my ability to throw the ball doesn't really matter if you can't catch it. So if I practice in the off season, throwing it faster and faster, but don't clue you in, until the first game, how's that helping? So I've got a KPI to throw it really, really hard. And you're thinking, "how's that helping?" So that's... 0:24:19.9 AS: And can you just go back to that for a second? Quality is on a product or service, you were saying that how Dr. Deming defined that, it helps someone... 0:24:26.7 BB: Yeah. Dr. Deming said "a product or service possesses quality if it helps someone and enjoys a sustainable market." And so my interpretation of that is two things. One is, it's not me delivering a report and saying the report met requirements. It's saying, "I get the report to you, and I ask Andrew, how did I do?" And then you say to me, "I had some problem with this section, I had some problem...." But the important thing is that you become the judge of the quality of the report, not me. And it could be information I provide you with in a lecture. It's you letting me know as a student that you had a hard time with the examples. And I'm thinking, "well, I did a great job." So it's not what I think as the producer handing off to you. It's you giving me the feedback. So quality is not a one-way...in fact, first of all, quality's not defined by the producer. It's defined by the recipients saying, "I love this or not." And so that's one thing I wanna say, and does it enjoy a sustainable market? What I talked about in the past is my interpretation of that is, if I'm bending over backwards to provide incredible quality at an incredible price, and I'm going outta business, then it may be great for you, but it may not be great for me. So it has to be mutually beneficial. I just wanna... Go ahead, Andrew. 0:26:03.1 AS: You referenced the word synchronicity, which the meaning of that according to the dictionary is that "simultaneous occurrence of events which appear significantly related, but had no discernible causal connection." What were you meaning when you were saying synchronicity? Is it this that now you're communicating with the part of the process ahead of you, and they're communicating back to you and all of a sudden you're starting to really work together? Is that what you mean by that? 0:26:33.1 BB: Yeah. When I think of synchronicity, I'm thinking of the fluidity of watching a basketball game where I'm throwing blind passes to the left and to the right and to the observer in the stands are thinking: holy cow. That's what I'm talking about, is the ability that we're sharing information just like those passes in a basketball game where you're...I mean I cannot do that without being incredibly mindful of where you are, what information you need. That's what I meant. That's what I mean. As opposed to - I wait until the number is less than...I'm out there in the hot sun. I get the measurement, 6.001, no, no, no, wait. Now it's five. Where's the synchronicity in that? Am I concerned about how this is helping you, or am I concerned about how do I get this off my plate onto the next person? And I'd also say... 0:27:32.6 AS: Yep. And another word I was thinking about is coordination, the organization of the different elements of a complex body or activity so as to enable them to work together efficiently. You could also say that the state of flow or something like that? 0:27:48.7 BB: I'm glad you brought up the word "together." The big deal is: am I defining quality in a vacuum, or am I doing it with some sense of how this is being used? Which is also something we got into, I think in the, one of the very first podcasts, and you asked me what could our audience...give me an example of how the audience could use this. And I said you're delivering a report to the person down the street, around the corner. Go find out how they use it. I use the example of providing data for my consulting company to my CPA, and I called 'em up one day and I said, "how do you use this information? Maybe I can get it to you in an easier form." That's together. I mean relationships, we talked earlier about marriage, relationships are based on the concept of together, not separate, together. Saying something is good, without understanding how it's used is not about "together." It's about "separate." 0:28:54.1 BB: And so what I find is, in Lean, we look at: how can we get rid of the non-value-added tasks? Who defines value? Or I could say, and Lean folks will talk about the...they'll say this: "eliminate things that don't add value." My response to them is, if you tell me that this activity does not provide value in this room for the next hour, I'm okay with that. If you tell me this activity doesn't add value in this building for the next year, I'm okay with that. But if you don't define the size of the system when you tell me it doesn't add value, then you're implying that it doesn't add value, period. 0:29:43.4 BB: And I say, how do you know that? But this is the thinking, this is what baffles me on the thinking behind Lean and these concepts of non-value-added, value-added activities. I think all activities add value. The only question is where does a value show up? And likewise in Six Sigma quality, which is heavily based on conformist requirements and driving defects to zero, that's defining quality of the parts in isolation. What does that mean, Andrew? Separate. It means separate. Nothing about synchronicity. And so I'm glad you brought that point up because what I...this idea of "together" is throughout the Deming philosophy, a sense of together, defining quality in terms of a relationship. 0:30:31.1 AS: And I remember when I was young, I was working at Pepsi, and they sent me to learn with Dr. Deming. And then I came back, and what I was kind of looking for was tools, thinking that I would...and I came back of course, with something very different, with a new way of thinking. And then I realized that Dr. Deming is so far beyond tools. He's trying to think about how do we optimize this whole system? And once I started learning that about Dr. Deming, I could see the difference. Whereas, you may decide - let's say that you wanna learn about Lean and get a certification in Lean or something like that. 0:31:15.5 AS: Ultimately, you may go down a rabbit hole of a particular tool and become a master in that tool. Nothing wrong with that. But the point is, what is the objective? Who defines the quality? And Dr. Deming clearly stated in the seminars that I was in, and from readings that I've read, that the objective of quality isn't just to improve something in...you could improve something, the quality of something and go out of business. And so there's the bigger objective of it is: how does this serve the needs of our clients? So anyways, that's just some of my memories of those days. 0:31:52.4 BB: Yeah. But you're absolutely right. And the point I'm hoping to bring out in our sessions is: I'm not against tools and techniques. Tools and techniques are incredible. They're time savers, money savers, but let's use them with a sense of connections and relationships. And I agree with you, I've done plenty of seminars where people are coming in - they're all about tools and techniques. Tools and techniques is part of the reason I like to differentiate is to say....and again, I think people are hungrier for tools and techniques. Why? Because I don't think they've come to grips with what concepts and strategies are about. And I'm hoping our listeners can help us...can appreciate that they go together. Tools and techniques are about efficiency, doing things faster, doing things cheaper. Concepts and strategies are about doing the right thing. Ackoff would say "doing the right thing right." And short of that, we end up using tools to make things worse. And that's what I'm hoping people can avoid through the insights we can share from Dr. Deming. 0:33:05.4 AS: And I would say that, would it be the case that applying tools, and tools and techniques is kind of easy? You learn how they work, you practice with them, you measure, you give feedback, but actually going to figure out how we optimize this overall system is just so much harder. It's a complex situation, and I can imagine that there's some people that would retreat to tools and techniques and I saw it in the factory at Pepsi when people would basically just say, "well, I'm just doing my thing." That's it, 'cause it's too much trouble to go out and try to negotiate all of this with everybody. 0:33:50.7 BB: I think in part, I think as long as they're managing parts in isolation, which is the prevailing system of management, then, I agree with you. Becoming aware of interdependencies in the greater system, and I'll also point out is whatever system you're looking at is part of a bigger system, and then again, bigger system, then again, bigger system. What you define is the whole, is part of a bigger system. No matter how you define it, it's part of a bigger system because time goes to infinity. So your 10-year plan, well, why not a 20-year plan? Why not a 30-year plan? So no matter how big a system you look at, there is a bigger system. So let's not get overwhelmed. Let's take a system, which Ackoff would say, take a system which is not too big that you can't manage it, not too small, that you're not really giving it the good effort, but don't lose sight of whatever system you're looking at - you'll begin to realize it is actually bigger than that. Again, what Dr. Deming would say, the bigger the system, the more complicated, which is where you're coming from, but it also offers more opportunities. I think we're so used to tools and techniques. 0:35:14.3 BB: I don't think people have really given thought to the concepts and strategies of Deming's work as opposed to Lean and Six Sigma as being different, which is why I wanted to bring it up with our listeners, because I don't think people are defaulting on the tools. I just don't think they appreciate that concepts and strategies are different than tools and techniques. And I like to have them become aware of that difference and then understand where black-and-white thinking works, where continuum thinking has advantages. There's times to look at things as connected, and then there's times to just move on and make a decision, which is a lot easier because the implications aren't as important. But at least now we get back to choice, be conscious of the choice you're making, and then move on. All right, so also on the list we had, who defines quality? 0:36:09.0 BB: We talked about that. What is meant by good: the requirements are met. Who defines good? Again, if you're looking at Phil Crosby, who defines good? Someone has to set, here are the requirements for being "good." I could be giving a term paper and me saying to the students, this is what "good" means. Next thing I wanted to look at is, "why stop at good?" And, I'm pretty sure we've talked about this. A question I like to ask people is how much time they spend every day in meetings, discussing parts, components, things that are good and going well. And what I find is people don't spend a whole lot of time discussing things that are good and going well. So why do they stop? Why not? Because they're stopping at "good." 0:36:57.1 BB: And that goes back to the black-and-white thinking. They're saying things are "bad" or they're "good." We focus on the bad to make it good, and then we stop at good. Why do we stop at good? Because there's no sense of "better." All right. And what does that mean? So again, we have why stop at good? Why go beyond good? And this is...'cause I think we're talking about really smart people that stop at "good." And I think to better understand what that means, what I like to do is ask people, what's the letter grade required for a company to ship their products to the customer? What letter grade does NASA expect from all their suppliers? And I asked a very senior NASA executive this question years ago. He was the highest ranking NASA executive in the quality field. 0:37:50.5 BB: And I said, "what letter grade do you expect from your contractors?" And he said, A+. A+. And I said, actually, it's not A+. And he is like, "What do you mean?" I said, "actually the letter grade, your requirement is actually D-." And he pushed back at me and I said, what...he says, "well, what do you mean?" I said, "how do you define quality?" And he said, "We define quality as requirements are met. That's what we require." I said, "so you think A+ is the only thing that meets requirements?" He's like, "well, where are you coming from?" I said a pass-fail system, now we get back to category thinking, if it's good or bad, what is good? Good is passing. What is passing? What I explained to him: passing is anything from an A+ down to a D-. 0:38:38.9 BB: And he got a little antsy with me. I said, "well, the alternative is an F, you don't want an F, right?" I said, "well, what you're saying is that you'll take anything but an F and that means your requirements are actually D-." And then when I pushed back and I said, "is a D- the same as an A+?" And he said, "no." I said, "well, that's what I meant earlier" in the conversation with him. And I told him that they weren't interchangeable. So when you begin to realize that black and white quality, Phil Crosby-quality, allows for D minuses to be shipped to customers. Again, in this one way I define quality, I hand it off to you. 'Cause in that world, Andrew, I make the measurement, it's 5.999, it meets requirements, I ship it to you, your only response when you receive it is to say, "thank you." [laughter] 0:39:33.2 BB: For a D minus, right? Well, when you begin to understand relationship quality, then you begin to understand that to improve the relationship, what's behind improving the relationship, Andrew, is shifting from the D- to the A. And what does that mean? What that means is, when I pay attention to your ability to receive what I give you, whether it's the pass or the information, the more synchronously I can provide that, the letter grade is going up, [laughter] and it continues to go up. Now, again, what I'm hoping is that the effort I'm taking to provide you with the A is worthwhile. But that's how you can have continuous improvement, is stop...not stopping at the D minus. 0:40:17.6 BB: Again, there may be situations where D minus is all you really need, but I, that's not me delivering to you a D minus blindly. That's you saying to me, "Hey, I don't need an A+ over here. All I really need is a D minus." That's teamwork, Andrew. So on the one hand, and what I think is, our listeners may not appreciate it, is who defines the letter grade? So in your organization, I would say to people, you give everyone a set of requirements to go meet, what letter grade does each of them has to meet to hand off to a coworker, to another coworker, to a customer? Every single one of those people, all they have to do if they're feeling disenfranchised, as you mentioned earlier, they're feeling like an interchangeable part, well, under those circumstances, Andrew, I don't have to call you up, I just deliver a D minus. And you can't complain because I've met the requirements. 0:41:14.2 BB: So what I think it could be a little scary is to realize, what if everybody in the company comes to work tomorrow feeling no dignity in work and decides to hand off the minimum on every requirement, how does that help? And what I find exciting by Deming's work is that Dr. Deming understood that how people are treated affects their willingness to look up, pay attention to the person they're receiving and deliver to them the appropriate letter grade. So I'm hoping that helps our audience understand that if it's a black and white system, then we're saying that it's good or it's bad. What that misses is, keyword Andrew, variation in good. So the opportunities to improve when we realize that there's a range, that "good" has variation. Another point I wanna make is, what allows the Deming philosophy to go beyond looking good? 0:42:16.2 BB: Well, if you look at the last chapter 10, I think, yeah, chapter 10 of the New Economics is...like the last six pages of the New Economics is all about Dr. Taguchi's work, and it's what Dr. Deming learned from Dr. Taguchi about this very thought of looking at quality in terms of relationships, not just in isolation, Phil Crosby-style meeting requirements. And the last thing I wanna throw out is I was listening to a interview with Russ Ackoff earlier today, and he gave the three steps to being creative. This is a lecture he gave at Rocketdyne years ago. And he said, the first thing is you have to discover self-limiting constraints. Second, you have to remove the constraint. And third, you have to exploit that removal. And what I want to close on is what Deming is talking about is the self-limiting constraint is when we stop at good. [laughter] 0:43:20.7 BB: And I'm hoping that this episode provides more insights as to the self-imposed constraint within our organizations to stop at "good." What happens when we go beyond that? And how do you go beyond that? By looking at how others receive your work and then expand that others and expand that others and expand that others. And then what I find exciting is, and the work I do with students and with clients is, how can we exploit every day that idea of synchronicity of quality, and not looking at quality from a category perspective? Again, unless that's all that's needed in that situation. So I don't want to throw out category thinking, use category thinking where it makes sense, use continuum thinking where it makes sense. So that's what I wanted to close with. 0:44:12.1 AS: Bill, on behalf of everyone at The Deming Institute, I want to thank you again for this discussion. For listeners, remember to go to deming.org to continue your journey. This is your host, Andrew Stotz, and I'm gonna leave you with one of my favorite quotes from Dr. Deming, and it's very appropriate for the discussion that we've had today. "People are entitled to joy in work."

Pour vous abonner à nos 300 émissions hebdomadaires d'une heure sans publicité pour seulement 2€ par mois, avec une nouvelle émission chaque jeudi rien de plus simple, cliquez ici : https://m.audiomeans.fr/s/S-tavkjvmo Grands tours et classiques, duels d'anthologie, lieux cultes : la grande et la petite histoire du cyclisme et de ses champions, racontées avec gourmandise par Jean-Noël Blanc, à notre micro. À savourer ! Une idée de génie est toujours bête comme chou. Pourquoi avoir attendu 1817 pour inventer de placer deux roues l'une derrière l'autre au lieu de les disposer côte à côte ? Le baron allemand Drais les relie d'un montant de bois, et voici la draisienne, l'ancêtre du vélo. Le bicycle est d'emblée voué à la vitesse et à la course. En 1867, la première course emmène 100 participants de l'avenue d'Antin à Versailles. Trois ans plus tard, on compte déjà 270 courses en France ! Bien entendu, la compétition pousse aux améliorations techniques. L'histoire des courses cyclistes est donc celle de l'émancipation progressive du vélo vis-à-vis de la bicyclette. Il ne faut pas confondre les deux. La bicyclette sert à faire les courses quand le vélo est au service de la course : ici le quotidien, là l'exploit, le rêve, la légende. Cette magie émerveille : le public s'extasie devant ces champions qui défient la montagne ou domptent les pavés. En 50 micro-chapitres illustrés par de nombreux documents d'archives et des photos contemporaines, cet ouvrage brosse par petites touches un panorama du cyclisme, avec ses « forçats de la route », grimpeurs, rouleurs, sprinteurs ou simples équipiers, ses heures de gloire et ses drames, ses beaux gestes et ses tricheries, ses évolutions techniques et ses décors de théâtre. Tour de France, Bordeaux-Paris, Paris-Brest-Paris, Six Jours de Paris, Milan-San Remo, Tour des Flandres, Flèche wallonne, Paris-Roubaix, Tour de Lombardie, Paris-Nice, Critérium du Dauphiné, Giro : il fait revivre toutes les grandes courses, qu'elles appartiennent au passé ou qu'elles soient toujours à l'affiche. Une histoire non encyclopédique mais subjective, écrite dans une langue savoureuse par un amoureux du vélo et de l'écriture. Pour Xpresso, Jean-Noël Blanc reviens sur son ouvrage en pleine actu du Tour de France, évidemment !
