From the abstract:

Examines critically the origins and basis of ‘knowledge management’, its components and its development as a field of consultancy practice. Problems in the distinction between ‘knowledge’ and ‘information’ are explored, as well as Polanyi’s concept of ’tacit knowing’. The concept is examined in the journal literature, the Web sites of consultancy companies, and in the presentation of business schools. The conclusion is reached that ‘knowledge management’ is an umbrella term for a variety of organizational activities, none of which are concerned with the management of knowledge. Those activities that are not concerned with the management of information are concerned with the management of work practices, in the expectation that changes in such areas as communication practice will enable information sharing.

@AgroBioDiverse Guilty as charged.

I wonder whether I can use the Recipe plugin for @withknown to markup a recipe for #indieweb and then copy the HTML to my own site?

“Every 10 percent price increase in unhealthy foods and drinks was associated with a trend toward lower BMI (per 10 percent price increase: -0.06 kg/m2), this did not achieve statistical significance”

So, why report it?

AoBBlog asks the crucial questions: “what to call scientific binomials”. Seems like they’ve come down in favour of “scientific name” rather than “Latin name”. I’m fine with that, as long as people at least try to provide that name, rather than so-called “common” names. I’ve ranted about that before, and doubtless will again. All we have to do now is to teach the world that scientific names are strong proper names

I guess hiring a card designer wasn’t in the budget this year.

Simple and straightforward explanation of how the design of the card inside the envelope makes all the difference.
