Headspring Investment juig na die bevindings van die parlementêre staande komitee dat uraaneksplorasie in die Stampriet-bekken by Leonardville moet voortduur. Dit kom ten spyte van die komitee wat bevind het die filiaal van die Russiese Uranium One, wel die bepalings van sy waterpermitte met boorgate oortree het. Die operasionele direkteur van Headspring, Aldo Hengari het met Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gesels.

Headspring Investments het tydens 'n raadplegende vergadering met die Parlementêre Staande Komitee oor Natuurlike Hulpbronne aangedring dat hul boorbedrywighede in die Stampriet artesiese kom streng voldoen het aan Namibiese wetgewing. Dit kom nadat die landbouministerie twee prospekteerpermitte wat aan die maatskappy uitgereik is, gekanselleer het. Percy Misika, uitvoerende direkteur van landbou, het Headspring in 'n brief gedateer 9 November 2021 meegedeel dat die ministerie die permitte kanselleer weens geïdentifiseerde growwe nalatigheid. Headspring beweer daar is 'n agenda, aangesien hulle die kansellasiebrief gekry het nadat dit eers deur boere in die omgewing ontvang is. Vanessa Bohitile, die bestuurder van strategiese ontwikkelings by Headspring Investments, het meer.

Twintig jong mense van Leonardville sal ambagsopleiding kry deur 'n vennootskap tussen Headspring Investments en die Namibië Instituut vir Mynboutegnologie, Nimt. Kragtens die ooreenkoms sal die instituut 40 kandidate van Leonardville assesseer en 20 kies vir opleiding in Arandis, met die fokus op velde soos pasmaak, draai en ketelmaak. Die ooreenkoms word gewaardeer op meer as 500 000 Namibiese dollar vir die 2024/2025 finansiële jaar, wat onderrig en verblyf dek. Die Russiese mynmaatskappy is bekend vir sy uraanmyn-pogings in die Stamprietkom. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gesels met Riaan van Rooyen, woordvoerder van Headspring Investments, oor die doel van die vennootskap.

Headspring Investments, wat besig met uraaneksplorasie by Leonardville, se prosesse het verlede week skerp kritiek in die parlement ontlok van landbou-minister Calle Schlettwein. Die minister het onder meer gesê daar is 'n behoefte aan 'n omvattende, onafhanklike beoordeling van fasiliteite, prosesse en tegnologieë wanneer geologiese eksplorasieprojekte in Namibië geïmplementeer word. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met Uranium One-woordvoerder Riaan van Rooyen gesels, wat sê dat Headspring Investments onomwonde bevestig dat geen booraktiwiteite sedert 9 November 2021 op die terrein plaasgevind het nie.

Headspring Investments is tans besig met uraaneksplorasie by Leonardville. In 2021 het die landbou-ministerie die eksplorasie permit egter gestop. Weens die kansellasie moes geen verdere boorwerk gedoen word nie. Maar boere en inwoners die Kalahari is bekommerd na onthul is hoe Headspring te werk gegaan het om uraan in die Stampriet gebied te ontgin. Die DPM-parlementslid, Jan van Wyk, het landbou-minister Calle Schlettwein in die parlement gevra of die ministerie bewus is daarvan dat Headspring meer as 600 boorgate sonder die goedkeuring van die regering geboor het. Van Wyk sal volgende week reaksie hierop kry.

Leadership learning is perhaps the most prestitigious and well-funded of training staples. In a changing world, it has become democratized in recent years, and now embraces a more progressive (some would say liberal) agenda. Nevertheless it faces criticism from academics in highly respected institutions, who question its value. In this wide-ranging discussion about the current state of leadership learning, John talks to Gustaf Nordbäck, CEO of Headspring Executive Development, a joint venture between the Financial Times and IE Business School. Under Gustaf's direction Headspring has become a top provider of leadership solutions for clients around the world. How does he answer leadership's critics – and what is the future for leadership learning, in a world where decision-making becomes increasingly delegated to AI? NB: We apologise for the crackles on John's mic during the interview, and hope these technical shortcomings do not detract too badly from your enjoyment. 0:00 - Intro 3:13 - Leading Headspring 9:16 - Vision for leadership in the 21st Century 17:27 - How diverse is Leadership Learning? 24:35 - Differences in leadership styles 28:19 - Answering critics 35:47 - Digital Technology in course delivery 40:23 - AI in Leadership Follow Gustaf: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gustaf-nordback Headspring Website: https://www.headspringexecutive.com/ Email: gnordback@gmail.com Contact John Helmer: Twitter: @johnhelmer LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhelmer/ Website: https://learninghackpodcast.com/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LearningHack Download the white paper from Learning Pool written by John Helmer – The Spacing Effect: Harnessing the Power of Spaced Practice for Learning That Sticks https://learningpool.com/spacing-effect-harnessing-power-of-spaced-practice/

He participated in all sorts of real estate development in the Northeast of Brazil. In 2007, Brazil was the land of promise and was close to holding the Olympic Games, so the government invested heavily. Many entrepreneurs came in, so Santiago participated in this personal investment because he fell in love with that piece of paradise. Not such a rosy investment after allWhile Santiago loved the investment he made in Brazil, its value has gone down with time because of the low value of the country’s currency. The Brazilian Real was about two Reals per Euro at the time. Now it is five Reals per Euro. So if Santiago tried to sell his property there now, he would definitely make a loss. Turning his worst investment into pure goldSantiago happened to be the only investor who built a house on the property in Brazil. He turned this spectacular house into a peaceful place where he can write and concentrate. It is now the place Santiago spends his holidays. Even though, from an economic standpoint, the property became a damaging investment, it has rendered so many positive personal experiences that Santiago does not regret having bought it. Lessons learnedDo not be too passionate that you forget to do your researchDo not become too passionate about investing to the point that you forget to do your research. Make sure that you get an expert’s assessment and then do your analysis. Andrew’s takeawaysDo not buy a house if you cannot see yourself in it for the rest of your lifeThe rule abouthttps://myworstinvestmentever.com/ep172-angela-zeigerbacher-dont-look-at-buying-a-home-as-an-investment/ ( buying a house) is that you have to walk in and feel convinced that you want to live there the rest of your life. This is because a property is a significant thing, but sometimes it can be a trap. If you buy something because of a financial aspect, then you run into a potential pitfall. So look for something that you love. When investing in a foreign country, you are investing in two thingsAnytime you are buying something in another country, you are buying two things. You...

In this episode, we discuss Microsoft’s production release of the new front-end framework, Blazor, with a measuredly optimistic air. Patrick chats with Headspring’s own EVP of Strategy & Operations, Glenn Burnside, about why the early-adopter crowd is excited about this new programming model, and how we can help others see it’s NOT Silverlight. They talk about using (surprise!) empathy as a tool for addressing change-resistance, selling a new technology up the ladder, and letting go of developer identity-related hangups that get in the way of progress.

My guest on today’s show is Chief Architect at Headspring, author of MVC in Action books, an international speaker and a prolific OSS developer.  He is an expert in distributed systems, REST, messaging, domain-driven design and CQRS.   EPISODE DESCRIPTION: Phil’s guest on today’s podcast is Jimmy Bogard. He has a BSEE in Computer Engineering. But, he became a software developer and engineer. Jimmy worked for Icabob Design, VI Technology and Dell Inc in those roles. In 2008, he joined Headspring and, today, he is their Chief Architect. Jimmy is an expert in distributed systems, REST, domain-driven design, messaging and CQRS. He is also the author of the ASP.NET MVC in Action books, as well as a prolific OSS developer and public speaker. KEY TAKEAWAYS: (00.46) – So, Jimmy, could you tell us a little bit more around your background and your current role as chief architect at Headspring? Jimmy starts by explaining that he graduated with a computer engineering degree and kind of fell into an IT career, when he left university. In time, he landed a job at Headspring. (1.47) – Can you please share a unique career tip with the I.T. career audience? When he studied to become a computer engineer he was told that to succeed in that field you need to be continuously learning. He was told that he would need to reinvent himself every 5 or 10 years. It was a good habit to get into. When he moved into software he was already able to move from one technology to another fairly quickly. Jimmy says it is also important to stay in the know. That way you will be learning and growing in the right ways. In other words you have to become a T-shaped developer. That is to say you have a broad knowledge of a lot of subjects and technologies. But, have also taken the time to dive deep on at least one of them. (3.07) – What approach do you take when learning new technologies? Jimmy explains that the client’s needs drive the skills he learns. He focuses on learning those technologies that will help them to achieve their goals. You have to be careful not to dive in too deep. If you do that you spend too much time learning and not enough time working on the projects. To stop that from happening Jimmy periodically pauses and asks himself does this really matter? If the answer is no, he stops learning that tech or skill and focuses on something that is more relevant to what he is working on, at that moment. (4.11) – Can you tell us about your worst career moment? And what you learned from that experience. Years ago, Jimmy was working on a loyalty rewards project for a major retailer. He came up with what he thought was an important, but easy change to implement. For some reason, it went live not long before Black Friday, the busiest time of the year for the retailer. Unfortunately, a mistake slipped through. Jimmy had miss configured the dependency injection container in a way that registered some components twice. The net result was that everyone was awarded double reward points. Worse, nobody noticed the error for about 10 days. When the client asked him to check he did. But, he only ran the test locally. Not in the full environment. So, everything looked fine. In reality there was an issue. People were receiving a 10% off coupon via email. Followed shortly by an identical coupon giving them another 10% off, which they were not actually entitled to. The customers thought it was their lucky day, so did not complain. So, there were no emails from them saying there was an issue. Just a spike in the figures that was disguised by the fact this was all happening at the retailer’s busiest time. Eventually, Jimmy could see the issue and was able to fix it. But, he felt awful. The mistake was an expensive one. Understandably, the retailer did not want to take the coupons off of their customers. They were only able to revoke the duplicates that were attached to unopened emails. Naturally, changes were made to make sure something like that could not happen again. One of which is to track the key metrics and forecast what they should look like once any changes went live. Now, if they change up or down further than anticipated the system immediately flags it as a potential issue. This triggers extra tests to track down and solve any issues. (10.49) – What was your best career moment? Jimmy says that it is the things that he deliberately set out to achieve that he is proudest of. For example, building a system for a local county government in Texas, whose budget had just been slashed. For them, he took a 100% paper-based case file system and digitized it. They had tried off the shelf software, but none of it quite worked for them. When Jimmy presented his tailor-made solution to the team, he got a standing ovation. They like it that much. Better still, Jimmy was able to physically see what a difference his new system made. (13.52) – Can you tell us what excites you about the future of the IT industry and careers? The fact that the work he and other IT professionals do makes it possible for companies to do things they could not before is exciting. Jimmy knows the work he and other IT professionals makes a huge difference to people. (15.10) are there any particular tech advancements you are attracted to? Jimmy’s interest lies in technologies that help people to get their jobs done faster. (16.20) – What drew you to a career in IT? When he graduated, there were not enough computer engineering jobs to go around in Texas. He realised he had to do something else and decided to get involved in software. After all, everyone needs software and it is constantly evolving. (16.57) – What is the best career advice you have ever received? About 12 or 13 years ago, his mentor suggested to Jimmy that he start a public blog. He did, and that was what sped up his progress in the IT industry. It is something Jimmy recommends others do too. He finds that writing things down chrysalises his thoughts about things. (19.02) - Conversely, what is the worst career advice you've ever received? When he and his fellow graduates spoke to their professor about the fact they could not find jobs, his professor suggested they all go to graduate school. Advice Jimmy did not follow. He did not want to spend even more time and money studying, especially because there was no guarantee it would improve his job prospects. (19.48) – If you were to begin your IT career again, right now, what would you do? Jimmy says he would focus on finding good mentors from the start. Early in his career, he made the mistake of trying to emulate what the most popular and vocal developers were doing. But, his hero worship only took him so far. His mentors helped him far more. (20.47) – What are you currently focusing on in your career? Jimmy is working on his communication skills. He wants to be able to effectively communicate with, and influence, people who are high up in the structure of organizations. The more they understand, the better their IT-related decisions will be. He believes that this top-down approach will lead to fewer people working on projects that were flawed from the start and never see the light of day. (22.23) – What is the number one non-technical skill that has helped you the most in your IT career? When we build something the customer does not like we all have a tendency to blame them. In reality, most of the time, both parties play a role in these types of failure. Usually, it comes down to bad communication. Over the years, Jimmy has honed his communication skills, which has helped him to get better results for his customers and build a successful career. So, he sees that as his number one non-technical skill. (23.45) - What do you do to keep your own IT career energized? Jimmy has found keeping on the move helps to energize his career. Working on projects that keep him learning is essential. That is part of the reason consulting is such a good fit for him. He finds that role to be particularly energizing. (26.46) – Phil asks Jimmy to share a final piece of career advice with the audience. When Jimmy first started out he had a really bad case of imposter syndrome. He felt he could not match up to his heroes. The guys he followed and whose books he read. Around 2003, he attended a Java conference and was able to meet some of them. He went up to one of them and said something like I am happy to meet you, congratulated him on his work and told him that he was one of his heroes. The guy said thank you. But, he also said “we’re all just developers.” Basically, people trying to figure out what we’re doing and learn how to do things better. In short, all developers are novices, beginners who need to work together to figure things out. In the world of IT, you will rarely find one true expert. Things move too fast for that to happen. Nobody is an imposter, we are all still learning and everyone has something to contribute. BEST MOMENTS: (2.07) JIMMY – "Career-wise you have to reinvent yourself every five or 10 years." (2.28) JIMMY – “Make sure that you're always growing and expanding." (13.52) JIMMY – "It is exciting to know that the things we build enable our customers to do things they couldn’t before." (17.48) JIMMY – "Writing helps me to crystallize thoughts about things." (27.58) JIMMY – "Embrace your imposter syndrome. It's OK not to know exactly what you’re doing, because no one else does either."

On this episode of Eat Sleep Code guest Jimmy Bogard shares his perspective on Microsoft's basic object-mapper. Jimmy talks about the future of Automapper and support for .NET Core & .NET Standard. 00:57 EC: So I wanted to get you on the show today, because of a GitHub issue I saw on the MVC GitHub repository. And this GitHub issue is… It reads, “Basic object mapper for simple model view. View model property mapping.” And I have a feeling that you have some opinions about this, having one of… A very popular NuGet package for ‘.NET’ AutoMapper. And it’s been quite successful. And this, to me, it looks like it may step on your toes a little bit. So I wanted to get you to talk about kinda where you’re at and how this affects you. But before we get started, why don’t you give everybody a quick introduction of who you are and what you do, Jimmy? 01:56 JB: Okay. I guess I really write code for customers for a living. I work at a consulting company called Headspring out of Austin, Texas. And nearly all of the open-source stuff I work on, is just stuff that I build to help my clients. It’s just tools I wanted to keep using, and using, and using as we go from client to client. And so, almost everything that I write and use these days with open-source is stuff I’m actually using on client projects, that I don’t wanna lose when I go to the next client. 02:33 EC: And you have this tool called AutoMapper, which is an object mapping tool. Why don’t we give everybody a quick elevator pitch. What is an object mapper? 02:46 JB: Well, the basic idea is I have two objects that look pretty similar, and my general use case was I’m building web applications in ASP.NET MVC, typically. And I have a rich domain model that’s bound to the database in some way or another, usually with an ORM, like in any framework. But then, I had this other thing I’m using to show information on the web, either for showing forms, or also posting data from the web. And you have this general problem, and that’s your backend object is generally very rich and behavioral, and has a lot of things associated with it, but the thing you’re coming in from the web, is generally not. And you typically don’t wanna mix those two things together. So about… Gosh, eight or nine years ago, I saw this issue of when we’re starting out MVC, that we wanted to have these DTOs that we use for the MVC side and have these rich backend objects. But what would be the mechanism that we copy that information from the rich backend objects to the frontend dumb DTO objects? And I didn’t wanna do that all by hand, and I looked around, and saw there really wasn’t anything that did it for you automatically. And so, I created AutoMapper as a way to automatically figure out how to copy information from one object to the other. 04:12 JB: Probably a stupid idea. That didn’t seem that complicated, but there were a few things that I wanted to have out of the box that would help us out. One of the big ones was flattening, so if you have “foo.bar.baz” on your destination object, you could just have a single property, “foo, bar, baz.” And it would automatically traverse those associations, and figure out how to flatten that object for you. It handled nulls as well. If foo was null or bar was null, it’d be able to handle that as well. And the other big thing that I wanted to do, was make sure we could test it as well. So if I misspelled something or removed a property, I could just have one line of… Just check all my configuration is valid, and all the names match up, and there’s nothing missing. And if there is, go in exception, so it’s really easy for us to test, to say, “Make sure all my mappings are good.” Find out more at http://developer.telerik.com/content-types/podcast/automapper-net-core/
