First person: At nature's doorstep, a lesson in gratitude and caution

1 month ago | rappnews.com | Michael Davies

Commentaries reflect the opinion of the writer(s), not the Rapp News. Comment below or by writing a letter to the editor: [email protected]. Nestled at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Rappahannock County weaves together extraordinary beauty and remarkable character. After two decades in Los Angeles, I never imagined finding home in a place so different — yet that's precisely what happened when the love of my life brought me to these hills.

Slides improvement - Automatic page numbers on Slide Decks

Dec 17, 2024 | forum.figma.com | Michael Davies

Hear hear! SO much time wasted re-paginating huge decks manually when one new slide gets added. An awesome feature for the new Figma Slide Decks could be to have automatic page numbers.

Mastering Maintenance KPIs

by Sean MaddenIf it had not been for key performance indicator (KPI) scorecards, Madden Elevator would have never made it through many of the business trials and tribulations that every business eventually encounters. Someone once told me, “Systemize the predictable so you can humanize the unexpected.” Life will always throw curveballs at our companies and our teams.
