How to determine/specify encoding?
- In Email - Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
- In Client/Web page - set encoding using the following (ordered from highest to lowest priority of browsers):
1) charset parameter on HTTP Content-Type response header from server
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
2) charset on meta tag/element of HTML response
<html> <head> <!-- meta tag must be the very first thing in the <head> section because when encountered by the browser it stops parsing the page and reinterpretes it --> <!-- charset attribute was introduced on HTML5 and is more recommended to use --> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <!-- use http-equiv attribute for HTML versions lower than HTML5 --> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
- In Spring, to specify the encdoing to be usd in decoding form data - add filter for encoding
<filter> <filter-name>EncodingFilter</filter-name> <filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.CharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class> <init-param> <param-name>encoding</param-name> <param-value>UTF-8</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>forceEncoding</param-name> <param-value>true</param-value> </init-param> </filter>
More on specifying encoding: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/138948/how-to-get-utf-8-working-in-java-webapps
Possible consequence of not specifying encoding:
- Security issue - Sample: Google's XSS issue with UTF-7, read http://nedbatchelder.com/blog/200704/xss_with_utf7.html for explanation

How to call a shell script from another shell script
Note: Make sure to add #!/bin/bash to the first line of the script and make it executable through chmod 700 <path to script>.
- <path to script> or /bin/bash <path to script> or <scriptname> (add script to $PATH environment variable and call as normal command)
- child script is executed in a new shell, changes in child script does not affect parent script
- can be executed asynchronously through background command - <path to script> &
- same as no. 1 but executes child script on background - source <path to script> or . <path to script>
- child script is executed in a current shell
- context is same as parent script (vars and functions of child script becomes visible on parent script)
- exit call in child script will also exit the parent script - exec <path to script>
- terminates the current shell and executes on a new shell

Key Terms in Strategic Management
Most of these terms are used interchangeably and may mean different from one person to another. Based on various sources I read, here's what I think they mean:
Mission - enduring purpose/duty, most important aim
Vision - desired future state supporting mission
Goals / Objectives - what the organization intends to do, an end-game
Strategy
- a chosen path, direction or plan of action, to achieve goal
- involves all or most of the resources within organization
- usually long-term
- usually timeless
- what to do?
Tactics
- way to a achieve sub-goals or implement strategy, tools
- performed by a subset or a specific ___ in an organization
- shorter to mid term
- may vary depending on some factors like time, environment, etc.
- how to do?
Strategies should consider the tactics and tactical solutions should be aligned with strategies.
Some examples from Jan Zlotnick:
Goal: Be the market share leader in terms of sales in the mid-market in our industry.
Strategy: Remarkable Customer Service
Tactics: Offer lower cost solutions than enterprise competitors without sacrificing white-glove service for first 3 years of customer contracts.
Goal: Become a social utility that earth uses on an daily basis.
Strategy: Love Your Neighbor
Tactics: Offer a free global communication toolset that enables disparate personal interactions with your friends to monitor, share, and interact with.
Execution - implementation

Outline: Talent is never Enough
by John C. Maxwell
1. Belief Lifts Your Talent
When is talent alone enough?
- Talent is never enough. If talent were enough, then the most effective and influential people would always be the most talented ones.
- Intelligence, imagination, and knowledge are essential resources, but only effectiveness converts them into results. - Peter Drucker, the father of modern management
- Some tasks are not improved by adding more people.
- More isn't always better, and some things are best done by an individual.
- But there are many tasks that call for talent more than numbers. Like high jumping, they require the extraordinary talent of one person, not the mediocre talent of many.
1. We should marvel at their giftedness.
Putting talent into perspective

2. We should recognize their contribution to society?
3. We should separate what they can do from who they are.
- Talent gives you a head start on others but to keep on being a success, you should keep working on that talent.
Do you have what it takes?
1. Everyone has talent. Find your talent.
2. Develop the talent you have, not the one you want.
3. Anyone can make choices that will add value to talent.
