Write an article based on this "Hand off work between team members effectively and efficiently. Cross train members of your team. Encourage productive feedback among team members. Be careful your team doesn't turn into a fiefdom."
article: Your shift may be ending or someone else could do the job better. For whatever reason for a hand off, getting the job done is more important than individual egos. Your team's client doesn't care who does it, just that it gets done. You know all those emails you've received in the past six months that tinker with how the team works, explain how to use certain tools and outline priorities? The person who just joined your team didn't receive them because they weren't here. Make sure they learn about recent team issues and resolutions. If you know a better way of doing things then share it with others. If someone else knows a better way, learn it. And don't restrict feedback to criticism. Give out some praise for a job well done. We'd all like the feedback to come from the boss, but by sharing feedback yourselves, you offload some work from your boss. Fiefdoms are teams gone bad - where people on a team "protect" their data, use non standard processes, and discourage interactions with other teams. Fiefdoms lead to turf wars - conflicts over which team has what responsibility. They drain productivity from the company. Classic symptoms of fiefdoms are "providing a feed" to another group (instead of access to live corporate data) and being told "not to talk to someone" outside the team.

Dehydrate or dry the cashews. Roast the cashews. Allow the nuts to cool before you use them to make cashew butter."
article: Cashews are readily available in the bulk section or nuts section at most grocery stores. They can often be found either raw or roasted. Keep in mind that approximately 2 cups of cashews will make 1 ¼ cups of cashew butter. Use this as a guideline for determining the amount of cashews to buy.  Cashews are not available to purchase with their shells still intact. Cashews are in the same family as poison oak and poison ivy, meaning that their shells release a toxin called urushiol that produces skin irritations and rashes. The nuts themselves are typically roasted or, if sold as “raw” in stores, are typically steamed to eliminate the toxin.  Cashews are also available already flavored, such as honey roasted cashews. These can be used to make cashew butter as well. If you are purchasing cashews as a replacement for peanuts because of a peanut allergy, you need to make sure that the cashew processing plant does not also process peanuts. The risk of cross-contamination can be dangerous or even deadly for those with peanut allergies. Also, check to make sure the person with a peanut allergy does not also have allergies to other types of nuts. Peanuts are ground nuts, while others, like walnuts, hazelnuts and cashews, are tree nuts. Some people are only allergic to peanuts, while others are allergic to all kinds of nuts. If you purchased raw nuts, you may decide to soak and dehydrate them first before processing them into cashew butter. To soak nuts, place 4 cups of nuts into a glass or ceramic bowl. Fill the bowl with water so the nuts are completely submerged, and add 1-2 tablespoons of unrefined salt. Cover the bowl and let it stand for about 2-3 hours. Raw nuts contain high levels of phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors, which can cause irritation and digestive difficulty, and can inhibit the absorption of some of the nutrients contained in nuts. Soaking nuts can neutralize the acid and enzyme inhibitors, maximizing the health potential of nuts. Use cool water to remove any salt residue that remains on the cashews. Spread the cashews in a single layer on a cookie sheet or on a dehydrator rack.  Heat your oven or dehydrator to 150 °F (66 °C). Periodically check on the cashews and toss them to ensure they dry on all sides. Monitor them to ensure that they do not burn. Dry the cashews until they are slightly crispy, or about 12-24 hours. Heat your oven to 325 °F (163 °C). Preheat a ceramic dish for 5 minutes, and then place a single layer of cashews in this dish. Bake them in the middle of the oven for approximately 20 minutes. If so desired, add a little olive oil or salt to coat the cashews at this time. Stir the cashews thoroughly. Cashews, like most nuts, are dense and heat can get packed away inside them. Giving the nuts time to cool will reduce the risk of burning yourself when processing them into butter.

article:
In this setting you are likely to have a handful of regulars you will personally get to know. The atmosphere is a "home away from home."  Operating hours for these bars tend to be earlier than others, opening in the early morning and closing slightly earlier at night than others. These bars typically start with beers and wines on their serving lists first. Pay attention to this for licensing purposes. If demand for hard liquor is present, then getting the proper license to carry them should be pursued. Light food fare can be served at these locations such as sandwiches and/or appetizers, but full dinners are not frequently on the menu. This will mean avoiding the need for a costly full restaurant license. Some light gaming equipment is a good idea to have on the premises of such bars. Jukeboxes, pool tables, dart boards, arcade video games, and the like are good entertainment ideas. You might even consider building a few arcade cabinets for the video games. Typical neighborhood bars cost between $50,000 and $100,000 to start. These are similar to neighborhood bars, but tend to offer a bit more substantial food fare. The biggest difference is with entertainment as visual and audio options are significantly more important in sports bars.  Investment in numerous televisions with cable and/or satellite channel packages will be a significant change for sports bars over other types. Maintaining the latest audio/visual technology can sometimes take a large portion of the bar's revenue. Food options tend to include burgers, chicken wings, ribs, pizza, grilled items, and appetizers. Extra gaming equipment isn't as important with sporting events being the main attraction. However, having some video games at the table, pool tables, or arcade games can be a nice addition. Thoroughly research the local sports team(s). You'll want plenty of authorized logos, posters, pictures, and other gear of theirs around your establishment. You might even consider contacting the team directly to see if joint-promotions are a possibility. The average sports bar can cost $10,000 to $50,000 to start. These are essentially "beer only" operations that tend to have lower costs due to easier licensing and simpler stocking conditions.  Brew pubs create their own beer on their premises and sell it on tap. Other beer options may be offered in bottled form. There is the added cost of brewing equipment in this case. Beer bars sell a wide variety of beers on tap or bottled. This can include microbrews. However, since beer is typically consumed more often than other liquors, it is often easier to turn a profit especially with the lower licensing costs as you are not stocking hard liquors. Beer bars can cost as little as $20,000 to $100,000 to start depending on location. However, brew pubs can cost $100,000 to over $1 million to start due to the brewing equipment. These have a wide variety of types to choose from, but the bar you create must be narrow in focus once you build it. Still, there must also be flexibility within the theme you pick.  Some specialty bars focus on a particular drink such as the martini. However, there are many versions of the martini that your bar would need to produce including the traditional version with vodka and gin or the sour apple variety. Specialty bars can be focused on wine. In cases such as wine bars, you will need to produce a wide selection of variety and vintage for patrons to enjoy. Bars like these can focus on other consumables like cigars. You will need to produce a wide variety of types and allow customers to learn about their qualities. Specialty bars tend to be smaller in size. Clientele will be more intimate and exclusive. Startup costs for these bars will vary greatly depending on your product choice. There are several types of clubs you could consider including small cocktail lounges, mid-sized clubs that double as neighborhood bars by day, and large dance clubs that attract celebrity guests.  Cocktail lounges tend to have small musical entertainment such as a piano or jukebox. Mid-sized clubs, especially ones that are regular bars by day, often have area bands or other popular talents invited in by night. Large dance clubs need larger populations to be successful--perhaps a city of 500,000 people or more if you plan on attracting a major celebrity guest star.
