A Coffee Shop

Posted on January 7, 2015 by joachin

There is this coffee business in at the office. We are about 500 individuals in this building. The lady-barista told me they use three pounds of coffee daily and four on busy days. How much coffee co-workers consume at this vendor?

If one pound = 460 g and 1 cup of coffee requires 10g, therefore they sell between 130 to 180 8-ounce cups of coffee on a daily basis. That’s equivalent of 523 homo sapiens collectively consuming 1.25 cups of coffee on a weekly basis.

We are not taking into account the coffee that is consumed away from this coffee idle, i.e. french press enthusiasts [like myself and other colleagues] as well as the coffee that the company offers at the braking rooms and other DIY individuals.

This is very, very low if you compare that the global weekly consumption is ~6 cups a week. According to the same source the weekly consumption on Guatemala is 2.5.

Photography Homework

Trinitarian thoughts on the volcanos Agua, Fuego, Acatenango:

How does it look when it is photographed with frontlight as opposed to soft diffused light? Or does it look best with sidelight? This is a project you can keep doing throughout the year to see how the light changes over seasons.

The point is to understand how the light affects your subject.

To continually improve your photography, become a student of light. Even when you do not have your camera, be aware of the type of light in your surroundings and how the light changes. Take notice when sun changes to shade or, even better, when shade turns to sun.

Seens that not only wind is a friend of spec but also light.

With this criteria I could also begin a light analysis of the pictures included in this post of Pics for Presentations; all of them performed by me.

Aperture

The aperture also determines how many of the incoming rays are actually admitted and thus how much light reaches the image plane (the narrower the aperture, the darker the image for a given exposure time). In the human eye, the pupil is the aperture.

Guatemala and Costa Rica

If we are going to get expensive, possible scenarios:

1) There is future in Honduras and Nicaragua for this industry

2) GT and CR might start to prepare to offer outsourced professional services, rather than customer care only. (Think on the CFA Standards of Ethics and Conduct)

So far we are an international business opportunity because of cost arbitrage. That’s the local “competitive edge”. It has expiration date and we are not the only cheap labor across the world. So it’s not an edge neither competitive.

Marriage and Wedding

Posted on December 19, 2014 by joachin

En los meses previos a casarse uno se la pasa organizando su boda se la pasa revisando detalles de la ceremonia y la luna de miel, por muy sencilla que sea la ceremonia. Como decimos en ECN, la boda es un día, el matrimonio, toda la vida.

Por eso yo opino que casarse se parece mas a la primera foto que a la segunda. Mientras ambas son verdaderas, pues la ceremonia es un gozo fuerte, incluso para mi que soy poco expresivo, mientras que en mis 3 años de matrimonio he descubierto como dos individuos inperfectos deben tomar la decisión de patrocinar [o no] al otro.

La clave está, segun mi experiencia hasta hoy, en que el patrocinio debe hacerse en vínculo con una tercera persona. Una persona real, capaz de vencer incluso a la muerte. La fidelidad, pues, al igual que el misterio trinitario, no es un asunto de uno, sino de tres personas. La esposa, el esposo y el garante, Jxto:

Enamorarse puede ser accidental, aleatorio. Amar a tu esposa es a proposito, una decisión. Ella es todo un misterio, mis oidos, no mi discurso, tiene un poder sanador para ella. Yo quisiera arreglarla, pero necesita que la escuche.
