Many years ago I wrote a blog on how an adjudicator should avoid using idiosyncratic language in their decision.

It was the judge (Christopher Clarke J) who described the adjudicator’s language as “idiosyncratic”, but also said that it would not have prevented him from upholding the adjud

Wearing loose protective gloves at work ruins the entire idea behind wearing them: protection. The good thing, however, is that you can tighten plastic gloves in many ways. . Can you imagine handling a contaminated specimen or something acidic with gloves that are loose? You will end up hurting your hands in unimaginable ways. Since plastic protective gloves ( vinyl as well as latex ) come in only 6 sizes, there’s always a possibility that the gloves you are wearing could be loose. .

Most likely, you have been familiar with using the Critical Path Method (CPM) for scheduling your construction projects. After all, it is one of the most common, and traditional, construction planning techniques. A construction project needs to be scheduled, and the CPM method does make sense in theory at the start of many construction projects. Nevertheless, in practice, it’s not always the best fit and process for a project.

Emanuele Almagioni wanted to build a home in a cold and windy, but very sunny, town high in the Italian Alps that would use the sun to provide all of its heating needs. With winter low temperatures reaching -25°C (-13°F) the home had to be tight enough to hold the heat but exposed enough to capture the sun. So he built a very tall, thin, 3-story wooden home with an all-glass southern facade for maximum sun exposure and nearly completely closed on the other three sides for maximum insulation.
