Attention deficit disorder (ADHD or ADD) stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. ADHD is a complex neurological disorder that impacts the executive functions needed to assess, plan, and execute life. That is the technical description, which does nothing to explain what ADHD symptoms look like in everyday life.
In one of the sessions I was in at JNUC, Chip was asked the question. His response was what rpotvin said about referencing a character in a book name Laszlo Jamf. But considering in the Managing the Unmanageable session Bryson referred to the employees as JAMF's, I'd say it is definitely open to interpretation!
The greatest of art/literature/etc are never explicit, but allow the user to read into them what they bring themselves. Interpretation and search for meaning brings with an equal level of allure. Just as happy to hear an acronym based on a book as one based on tech. And frankly, just as happy to have JAMF's meaning remain an insider's only secret to the JAMF employee tribe. Bring on the interpretations!
While this video is more about how to pronounce Jamf, it's too hilarious not to include here...
Watch as mutiple news outlets butcher Jamf's name on their IPO day (and Dean has a fun "freak out"
Don't get me wrong the flexibility is great, but there's an almost constant feeling that more could have been done. Just like my constant complaint that SCCM didn't have in-the-box support automatically for deploying MS Office and other Microsoft products.
If you have to go before your board of directors or name it in an official report for management, tell them it stands for Java Apple Management Framework. Seems to keep management happy with a techy acronym.

MBA stands for Master of Business Administration. It's a master's degree that offers a broad-based business education designed to teach skills that can help you succeed in any business area, from economics and marketing to financial management and social responsibility.
There are many reasons why you might earn an MBA, including increased salary potential and personal achievement. However, Dr. Charlene Spann, an adjunct instructor of business at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU), said the credential will be the most beneficial if you follow it up with ongoing growth in knowledge and skills.
"If one is seeking an MBA to truly understand the nuances of business so that their skills after graduation can expand and grow ... I believe it can future-proof a career," she said. "The key is that the person needs to continue developing their skills after the schoolwork is done."
How long it takes to get an MBA depends on the program you choose and your preferred pacing. For example, at SNHU, you could start and finish your MBA online in just over one year if you take two classes per 10-week term. That means you can begin reaping the credential's rewards sooner.
MBAs are in demand across a range of industries and organizations. Nine in 10 recruiters expected to hire MBA graduates in 2022, according to the GMAC report, with the top employers in product/service, technology, nonprofit and healthcare fields.*
While broad-ranging business knowledge is one of the key values of an MBA, if you know you want to enter a particular area of business, choosing from more than 15 types of MBA concentrations could add even more value to your business degree.
Are you currently working in finance but want to move into a marketing career after completing your degree? An MBA in Marketing can help give you the marketing know-how you need to stand out to employers and succeed in a new field.
"Using real-life scenarios, students can apply what they are learning immediately and then adapt the scenario to their current work function," Spann said. "I have had several students say that they immediately applied what they learned in class to their job."
Through scenario-based learning, Spann said students are also strengthening their technical skills. For example, in one of her classes, students are assigned middle management roles at an auto company and must create an innovation strategy to present to the Chief Technology Officer.
High-demand workers need a strong understanding of their chosen field and a strong foundation of fundamental business principles. With courses ranging from leading people, organizations and change to organizational strategy and success measurement, what you learn in an MBA program can give you the universal skills you need to succeed across various industries.
Some schools, such as SNHU, offer courses that weave various aspects of business together. "The MBA learning design uses 'interleaving,' where students mix ... two or three topics to improve learning and help make (information) stick," said Dr. Katie Carpen, an associate dean of business programs at SNHU. "Students revisit information ... throughout the program, yet in different contexts or scenarios."
Once Nikki Bennett '22MBA started her MBA, she said her career trajectory began to shift. "When I started my MBA program at SNHU, I was acting director of human resources," she said. "I was then promoted to senior director of business management about halfway through my program."
Earning your MBA can be a great way to open new career possibilities. While Bennett doesn't know what she'll be doing in five years, she said that many new opportunities have already begun to present themselves since earning her MBA.
Throughout your MBA program, you'll also have the opportunity to earn credentials. These credentials include certificates sought throughout the business sector, which are built right into the MBA program at SNHU.
In addition, you can gain experience with using common business platforms such as Microsoft Excel, PowerBI and Tableau, to name a few. The combination of learning various business scenarios, earning additional business credentials and utilizing business technology and platforms helps prepare you for whatever your next step may be.
In 2016, the World Economic Forum (WEF) predicted that as technology advances, employers would place a higher value on workers with leadership and management skills, including complex problem-solving, critical thinking, coordinating with others and decision-making.
By 2021, recruiters noticed that talent pools lacked candidates with some of these important soft skills. There's a shortage of applicants with problem-solving and critical thinking skills in particular, despite their growing need in an increasingly automated workforce, McKinsey & Company reported in a McKinsey Quarterly briefing.
Future-forward MBA programs can help to solve this issue. Course designers at SNHU kept critical thinking, analytical and communication skills in mind as they developed the MBA in Business Analytics, a concentration intended to train business professionals to interpret data and leverage it throughout their organizations.
*Cited job growth projections may not reflect local and/or short-term economic or job conditions and do not guarantee actual job growth.

The Wi-Fi Alliance focuses on interoperability certification and branding. It does not invent standards. It does not compete with IEEE. It complements their efforts. So Wi-Fi could never be a standard. And "Wireless Fidelity" - what does that mean? Nothing. It was a clumsy attempt to come up with two words that matched Wi and Fi. That's it.

AEDs are used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. It's a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, medical device that can analyze the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electrical shock, or defibrillation, to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm.
The device is designed to be user-friendly, with clear instructions on how to use it in case of an emergency. It's important for everyone to be aware of what an AED is and how to use it, as it could make a difference in saving someone's life.
Sudden cardiac arrest is among the leading causes of death in the United States. In fact, more than 350,000 people will suffer a cardiac arrest this year. Currently, the only way to restore a regular heart rhythm during cardiac arrest is to use an AED.
