Summary

The Plumed Serpent D. H. Lawrence - Lawrence wrote The Plumed Serpent between 1923 to 1924 a time when he was in ill health, living in Mexico and becoming dependent on his wife Frieda.The plot revolves around a movement to replace the Christian God with the old pre-conquest gods, such as Quetzalcoatl, the plumed serpent of the title. Kate Leslie, an Irish woman, gets caught up in the movement and marries one of the leaders but to the very end of the novel is ambivalent towards the aims of the movement. Lawrence uses the story to propound his own views about religion and the need for woman to sublimate herself before man and the need for a new political order. This all seems deliciously old-fashioned and misplaced now but we forgive Lawrence because of the beauty of his writing and his ability to get beneath the surface of the country he describes.

    An IT manager's  budget controls what he or she and their team are going to be able to accomplish this year. No, creating a budget may not be the most enjoyable thing that you'll be called on to do, but it just might be the most important. The challenge that a lot of IT managers have when it comes to creating a good budget is that it requires them to master a number of terms and concepts that they may have never encountered in school.
    
    What You'll Find Inside:
    WHY IT MANAGERS NEED TO CARE ABOUT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    AN IT MANAGER’S NEW BEST FRIEND: THE COMPANY BALANCE SHEET
    ROI: WHAT IT IS AND WHY IT MANAGERS NEED TO KNOW HOW TO USE IT
    3 FINANCIAL TERMS THAT IT MANAGERS NEED TO KNOW
    
    The good news is that you are not the first IT manager to create a budget. There is a great deal to learn from the tips that other managers can provide you with. A good guide for how you should create your budget may be provided by your company's financial statements. 
    In order to understand the company's financial situation you'll need to  master the company's balance sheet.  Additionally you'll have to understand the company's assets and its liabilities. How the company runs its day-to-day operations are closely tied to its use of working capital and so you'll need to have an understanding of this also. 
    The company will be funding new IT projects using financial leverage and so you need to understand how this financial tool works. The status of the company is closely watched by outsiders and in order to keep your team informed you are going to have to learn how to read an income statement and a cash flow statement. 
    Your company will be making an investment in your IT team and they expect it to return a profit. This means that you need to understand terms like ROI, net present value, and internal rate of return in order to understand how your performance is going to be measured. Master these financial terms and you'll be ready to create a complete budget for you and your team.
    One way to think about your IT budget is as fuel in the tank of your IT team. The more that you have, the farther you can go. Read on and find out how to fill your tank up…!
