  You are a Scrum Master and you have a challenge: 
  You have been hired to "fix" a poorly performing software development team.  When you join the group you find that it is dominated by a very capable by a strong willed woman that the team calls "Bossy Bobbie".  She makes every decision and assigns tasks to all of the other developers.  She follows them up and takes over their tasks if they fall behind.  No one is happy about the situation, but no one seems willing to do anything about it.   
  Now the problem has fallen into your lap.  What do you do about it? 
  This case and the others in the series come from the real-world experiences of a group of Scrum professionals who meet regularly to discuss the Scrum Framework and how to apply it to actual situations they have encountered.  These discussions have been led since 2015 by Frederik Mark Fowler, A Doctor of Scrum and Holder of the Professional Scrum Master level III certification awarded by Scrum.org.  Fred has worked with the Scrum Framework for almost 20 years and has trained more then 300 people to become Scrum Masters and Product Owners.

  Glacial - The Inside Story of...

  From mavericks to party standard-bearers, United States Senators, members of the House of Representatives, and presidential candidates have campaigned for four decades espousing their intentions to address the impacts of climate change. 
   
   
   
  Glacial: The Inside Story of Climate Politics is the first Inside-the-Beltway account to lay bare the machinations of what went wrong in Washington—how and why our leaders failed to act on climate change as mounting scientific evidence underscored the urgency to do so. Glacial tells a story of behind-the-scenes infighting and power struggles that blocked or derailed federal legislative progress on climate change, even in times of bipartisanship and with polls showing most Americans favored action. 
   
   
   
  The good news today is that public opinion is at its highest level of support for climate action, from corporate boardrooms embracing sustainability for business reasons to movements led by passionate younger generations who can't afford to stand mute because it is they who will inherit the worst environmental catastrophes. If the missed opportunities in Washington are instructive, the path to doing so is clear. Our elected officials must use their offices not solely for the power and prestige it bestows upon them personally, but for the public good—and they must do so while there is still time.

  Paleobotany - Ancient Plants:...

  Paleobotany, the study of ancient plant life through fossils, plays a crucial role in reconstructing Earth's biological and environmental past. By analyzing preserved plant remains, scientists gain insight into the evolution of vegetation, past climates, and the ecological relationships that shaped life on Earth. Understanding these ancient plants not only helps in tracing the origins of modern flora but also provides valuable information about environmental changes over millions of years. 
  One of the primary reasons paleobotany is important is its role in uncovering the history of plant evolution. The earliest forms of plant life date back to over a billion years ago, and through fossil evidence, scientists have traced the development of algae, mosses, ferns, gymnosperms, and eventually angiosperms. This evolutionary timeline reveals how plants adapted to changing environments, from the first aquatic organisms to the dominant terrestrial vegetation that defines modern ecosystems. Fossilized spores, leaves, wood, and pollen provide clues about how plants diversified and spread across different geological periods, allowing researchers to piece together a comprehensive picture of life on Earth.
