The value of water - waterday

[PLACEHOLDER]

 Today, 22 March we celebrate “World Water day”. This initiative provides awareness around those living without access to safe water. In this global water crisis, the focus here is to meet the sustainable development goal of water and sanitation for all by 2030.

In 2021 the theme is “valuing water”.

Change always starts from within, from “the man/woman in the mirror”. If we start from the premise (a selfish one, from a species survival mode) the majority of the percentage of the human body is water, then we can transfer it to every living entity and have the absolute truth that without water there is no life.

There is no price for water, and everyone should be able to access it.

There are so much it can be done:

  • Reduce pollution and littering
  • Taking care of our rivers and other water sources by protecting trees and the environment around it
  • Support initiatives (by donation or promoting them on your channels) that receives goods to deliver to those that are in need of clean water
  • Consume less water when you are taking a bath, such as:
  • Less time in the shower
  • Close the faucet during brushing your teeth
  • Repairing and rehabilitating broken wells
  • Building filter stations for communities
  • Providing filters


It is important to be grateful for what we have and to have that awareness that it may not be the case for others. Ask yourself some of the following:

  • Have I ever taken water and carried it for miles?
  • Have I ever, as part of the day-today, boiled water so I can use it for cleaning or drinking it?
  • Do I know what a “cisterna” (cistern) is?
  • Do I know what a “tinaco” is?
  • Have I ever had to rationalize water?


Thanks for reading us today, and we thank you in advance if we keep educating others around the “value of water”, and by putting our part to make a difference.

Assembling MLOps practice - part 2

Building MCP with TypeScript

MCP servers are popular these days. We’ve been researching and exploring a few code repos, some where missing modularity, others just not having pieces that we were looking for… therefore we decided to build our own, simple and foundational that could be a starting point for those trying to solve for the similar things we were… and we decided to share it with the community, via our public github. MCP host, server,data sources     Before we start.  Using Typescript and NodeJS was one of our requirements. This proved somewhat challenging because I don't code as frequently these days due to my leadership responsibilities, and I typically prefer working with C# or Python. Colleagues in my tech community have been working with their teams on some of their MCPs going the Python route. Therefore, I said, “I guess we are trying the other route” 😊. One of our reasons to go with TypeScript was due to the need of the integration with APIs, and based on the research, it seems t...

The value of listening

 Have you ever been in a conversation that you feel at best is just a waste of time; at worst, that the other person does not care? Have you been the messenger in some of them, the recipient in another? We’ve all been there; at times with family, with friends, at work. When at work, has this ever happened to you in a group meeting, at a one-on-one; when giving or receiving feedback?   Photo by Christina Morillo via Pexels   I knew the type of manager I wanted to be from the start of my mentorship. As I continued to navigate the waters, it became increasingly clear that the path I had chosen was appropriate, and therefore, the type of future colleagues I wanted to be surrounded by, and the type of mentors I wanted to continue seeking guidance from.  For me, the path has always been of being a leader over a manager. I believe I can attribute that, first and foremost, to my family’s values and  principles, and the way my parents raised us. Secondly, my path in the ...
