Felix Hoffmann, a chemist at the German pharmaceutical company Bayer, synthesized acetylsalicylic acid in a pure and stable form in 1897. Bayer patented the drug on March 6, 1899 under the name "Aspirin," issued in the US as patent 644,077, on 27 February 1900. It quickly became the world's most widely used medication (and it is today as of 2017). Aspirin was touted for its pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic (fever-reducing) properties. It was indicated for a variety of conditions, including headache, dental pain, menstrual cramps, muscle and joint aches, and fever. Aspirin started as powder, but soon enough was pressed into tablets with the iconic Bayer logo. In the 1970s, studies began to reveal its potential in preventing heart attacks, leading to its use in low doses for cardiovascular protection. In 1982, Sir John Vane won a Nobel Prize for discovering aspirin's action in inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. Today, Aspirin is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, highlighting its importance in global health. It's estimated that annually, over 60 billion Aspirin tablets (35,000+ tons) are consumed worldwide, and a trillion since 100 years, underscoring its enduring impact on medicine. Its adoption for cardiovascular disease prevention and its role in pain and fever management make it a cornerstone of modern therapy.

"Reinventing Organizations" is a book by Frederic Laloux that delves into the evolution of human consciousness and how it has shaped organizational structures through history. Organizations span a range from impulsive (red) to pluralistic (green), and a new, evolutionary level called "teal" introduced. Laloux researched 50+ organizations he considers in the teal stage and describes their management practices. Teal organizations' principles are self-management, wholeness, and evolutionary purpose. Self-management removes traditional hierarchies in favor of decentralized decision-making. Wholeness encourages employees to bring their full selves to work, rather than a professional persona. Evolutionary purpose means the organization adapts and grows, driven by its own inherent direction, not a fixed goal. Laloux's inspiration can be traced back to earlier management thinkers and human development psychologists, such as Ken Wilber's Integral Theory, along with the developmental models of Clare W. Graves and the subsequent Spiral Dynamics of Don Beck and Chris Cowan. They have been criticized, lack mainstream academic support, and compared to a cult. The book has inspired business leaders to rethink traditional management practices and explore more holistic, adaptive, empowering ways to organize work, and influenced small startups to large corporations to adopt more conscious practices. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinventing_Organizations Art&Text🫶ChatGPT.

Valve Corporation, an influential player in the gaming industry, was co-founded by Gabe Newell in 1996 after he left Microsoft. Valve produced iconic games like "Half-Life" and "Portal" and revolutionized digital distribution with its Steam platform. Newell also implemented a unique flat organizational structure that fosters innovation and employee autonomy, setting them apart as a distinctive and forward-thinking company in the tech world. The Valve Corporation Handbook for new employees, published March 2012, is a distinctive guide reflecting the company's innovative and unconventional work culture. It has a candid and engaging approach to introducing Valve's flat organizational structure, where traditional hierarchies are eschewed in favor of a more democratic, self-managing ethos. Employees at Valve enjoy an unusual level of autonomy, with the freedom to select their projects and teams, emblematically illustrated by the concept of desks on wheels, enabling staff to physically move to the workspaces where they feel they can contribute the most. They hire "T-shaped" individuals—people who are not only experts in their field but also like to collaborate. The handbook includes humorous illustrations and comics to convey the company's culture and expectations; it is a reflection of the company's core philosophy that prioritizes innovation, independence, and a deep belief in its team members.

Today, October 29th 2023, marks the 100th Republic Day of Turkey, a nation that has soared to great heights since its inception. From its early days, modern Turkey embarked on a transformative journey, introducing radical reforms that shaped its identity. The adoption of the Latin alphabet, promotion of the Turkish language, and secularization of education and the legal system marked significant cultural shifts. Notably, Turkish women were empowered with the right to vote in 1934, ahead of many Western counterparts. Economically, Turkey transitioned from an agrarian foundation to a diversified powerhouse with strengths in manufacturing, tourism, technology, and finance. Infrastructure development has been pivotal, evident in the sprawling highways, state-of-the-art airports, and robust public transport systems. Cities like Istanbul and Ankara reflect this urban evolution, merging history with modernity. On the global front, Turkey's unique position, bridging Europe and Asia, underscores its significance as a key geopolitical player. As we commemorate this momentous occasion, we celebrate Turkey's unwavering spirit and its journey of resilience, innovation, and progress. Happy 100th Republic Day! 100.
