As each bird flaps its wings, it creates uplift for the bird following.  By flying in a V formation, the whole flock adds a 71% longer flying range than if each bird flew alone.
Lesson: People who share a common direction and sense of community can go where they are going quicker and easier when they travel on the thrust of one another.

Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to fly alone and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front.
Lesson: If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation with those who are headed where we want to go.

When the lead goose tires, it rotates back into the formation and another goose takes over at the point position.
Lesson: It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks and sharing leadership because people, like geese, are interdependent upon each other.

The geese in formation honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.
Lesson: We need to make sure our honking from behind is encouraging -- not something less helpful.

When a When a goose gets sick or wounded or shot down, two geese drop out of formation and follow him down to help and protect him.  They stay with him until he is either able to fly again or dies.  Then they launch out on their own, either with another formation or to catch up with the original flock.
Lesson: If we have as much sense as geese, we'll stand by each other like they do.

In the pic Artur (me), Stuart Knight and Dorit.

Stuart covered a topic that gets little attention in our digital age - the power of face-to-face conversations. Stuart gives a bunch of great tips on how to get more out of each connection we have with all our fellow humans.

Look him up on YouTube, he's an amazing speaker!

P45

This dish is not going to be a good friend of your healthy new years resolutions, but when properly prepared, guaranteed to be a very delicious, finger-licking meal, unlike anything else you've ever tried.

Highly recommended if you are open to ethnic dishes and good food. You can find it in most Uzbek and middle eastern restaurants.

The marketers for Axe keep on doing it. A mini sign hangs on the isle in a local pharmacy. It's fairly hard to miss. I guess sex still sells. But I wonder how well.

As I was passing an optical store, a sign at the entrance caught my eye. 

Seems like a great way to collect visitor information and systematize the process of serving customers.

I wonder how well it worked for them and how they used this data.

Third try at drawing with a pen tablet. This time tried to get a light water paint effect.

First
The Wacom pen tablet has been lying in the office for the past few years but I never gave it justice. So finally, after so many years of being a web designer, I gave it a shot.

It felt awkward at first, maneuvering the pen on the tablet while looking at the screen. It felt like 'blind painting'. But, considering it's a first, I'm proud of the result... so, here it is - my very first 'hello world' painting. Of course, I still have no clue what each brush is capable of and how to properly use light techniques. Hope my excitement can be sustained past the tiping point of my learning.

The design of a healthy dish. Has room for improvement, but a good start.
