Keynote Title: On Lessness: Re-centering the politics of home
Abstract: Homelessness is one of the strongest cultural signifiers of the contemporary urban age. It works as a machine intersecting structural economic inequalities with cultural stigmatisation, on top of which a whole assemblage of personal traumatic experiences, institutional policing, and charitable interventions flourish. Despite its pervasiveness, homelessness is still framed as a 'phenomenon', a social 'issue' amongst others to be dealt with: homelessness as the negation of 'home'. But what if homelessness is not the exception arising from the lack of shelter, but instead the full and most quintessential representation of what 'home' is within capitalistic modes of organising and being? In other words, what if 'homelessness' cannot be solved, unless one is ready to fundamentally alter the parameters of 'home'? This keynote address 'homelessness' as a socio, cultural and economic process configured within an exclusionary understanding of 'home' and assembled through a number of governmentalities, which are identified with the notion of 'lessness'. Through several ethnographic vignettes, the fundamental relationship between 'lessness' and 'home' is showed, revealing the impossibility of any reconfiguration without radical change. The latter is addressed through a number of propositions around a new politics of 'home'.
Keywords: Homelessness; Politics; Governmentality; Assemblage; Minor Theory

Biography: Michele is an urban ethnographer and activist who joined the Urban Institute in September 2017. Having gained his PhD from Durham University (2012), Michele worked at DIST (Turin), UTS (Sydney), the University of Cambridge and the University of Cardiff. Michele's research challenges mainstream understandings relating to issues of marginality, poverty, and difference in the contemporary urban. His work is of a qualitative kind, sustained by in-depth ethnographic fieldwork and informed by theoretical grounding in assemblage thinking, critical urban theory, affective space, and biopolitics. Recently, Michele conducted extensive research in Bucharest (Romania) around two separate issues: street-level drug use and services for drug users; evictions, activism and homelessness. Michele's wider research interests include visual and participatory methods, the everyday life of cities, and the role of academics beyond academia. His non-academic works include an ethnographic novel around homelessness (Il numero 1, Eris, 2011) and a full-length video documentary around forced evictions in Bucharest, Romania (A început ploaia – It started raining).

Keynote Title: How can biogeomorphology science help us better manage social-ecological systems in the Anthropocene?
Abstract: Scientists argue we are now living in the time of the Anthropocene and the latest IPPC report provides stark evidence and a warning that the time is now to act to limit the impact of climate change. Whilst there is a need to mitigate, there is an equally pressing need to for innovative, transformative approaches to adapt our social-ecological systems to become more resilient to the climate changes already acutely felt – as well as plan proactively to live with the future changes our actions have already committed us to. This paper will focus on contributions we can make to the growing challenge of living in the anthropocene, particularly in rapidly urbanising (coastal) cities. Using examples, I will illustrate how geomorphology can contribute to improved urban resilience to growing environmental hazards. This includes: 1) how process-geomorphology can be used at the interface with infrastructure, to measure, predict and mediate asset resilience (via bioprotection, for example); 2) how decadal to centennial scale understanding of coastal/fluvial systems can inform flood alleviation engineering designs; 3) geomorphic contributions to using and valuing nature (e.g. natural capital, net gain, ecosystem services, nature-based solutions); 4) geomorphology and urban ecosystems and 5) geomorphology and urban resilience in an age of climate extremes. Each of these areas presents avenues for fruitful geomorphological science alongside opportunities to raise awareness of the benefits of geomorphological contributions to these debates and practical initiatives. Recent collaborations with artists, designers, engineers, material scientists and social scientists at the science-policy-practice interface will be used to illustrate how and where the global geomorphological community can meaningfully contribute, enriching both our science and the societal relevance of it.
Larissa is a Reader and NERC knowledge exchange fellow at the University of Glasgow. She is an international expert in biogeomorphology, climate change adaptation, rock coast morphodynamics, ecological enhancement and greening of hard infrastructure and navigating the science-policy-practice interface. Larissa helped establish the UK's Marine Climate Change Impacts Partnership, has reviewed the coastal chapter for the IPPC and has sat on the IUCN's peer review college. She was recently an Associate Editor of Earth Surface Processes and Landforms and on the Editorial Board of Annals of the American Association of Geographers. She currently sits on Adaptation Scotland's Advisory Network and in 2018 won the British Society for Geomorphology's Gordon Warwick Award and the Halcrow Prize for best paper in the Institution of Civil Engineer's Journal: Proceedings in Maritime Engineering. The Warwick Award nomination said: "Dr Naylor is an impressive example of the new generation of geomorphologists. She is highly intelligent, energized, and passionate, deeply rooted in conceptual understanding, with extensive field experience and early adopter and innovator in advancing technologies. She is active in applying geomorphology to the significant societal issues we face in the Anthropocene."
She has worked in government, industry and academia in both the UK and Canada as a scientist, policy advisor and knowledge broker. She currently leads two NERC projects, looking at ecosystem-based urban coastal adaptation to climate change with partners in England and Scotland and a NERC Green Infrastructure Innovation project focussed on improving multi functionality of hard infrastructure that must remain primarily grey via greening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJQdURjiztc She is also leading the adaptation component of Scotland's Dynamic Coast Phase 2, which examines coastal erosion and erosion-induced flood risks across Scotland (www.dynamiccoast.com) and is exploring adaptation options to live with these risks.

20 Photos Of Adele's Rumored Engagement Ring & Facial Expressions At The BRITs
The 2022 Brit Awards will go down in history as The Adele Show, as she won three awards, performed, and sparked engagement rumors.
Kate Green/Getty Images
The BRITs/Mastercard
On Feb. 1, Adele announced on social media that she would perform at the 2022 Brit Awards on Feb. 8, ending her post with a shoutout to her boyfriend Rich Paul and seemingly denying rumors of drama between them.
Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
While he didn't walk the red carpet with her, Adele sparked rumors that she was engaged to Paul by sporting a diamond ring as part of her gorgeous red carpet look.
Karwai Tang/WireImage/Getty Images
When asked about the ring after the Brits during an interview on The Graham Norton Show, Adele said, "If I was [engaged], would I ever tell anyone if I was or wasn't?" As confirmed by People, the rock on Adele's left hand was a diamond teardrop ring designed by Lorraine Schwartz that matched her earrings.

While on the red carpet, Adele made time to take selfies with adoring fans, which resulted in some sweet smiles...
and also facial expressions like this...
and this.
Before going into this year's show, Adele had won nine Brit Awards — the most of any female artist — making her the undisputed queen of the Brits.

Adele did pose from her seat in the audience, but she didn't spend much time there, considering she gave a performance and three acceptance speeches for Song of the Year, Album of the Year, and Artist of the Year.
David M. Benett/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
At the start of the show, Adele won her first award of the night, taking home British Song of the Year for "Easy on Me." Needless to say, she was a bit stunned.
"I can't believe that a piano ballad won up against that many bangers," Adele said in her acceptance speech.
Midway into the show, Adele performed a rendition of fan-favorite 30 track "I Drink Wine," sitting atop the piano with just her band and a shimmering gold wall in the background.
Dave J Hogan/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Adele put her heart and soul into the performance, judging by her intense facial expressions alone.
Adele's 2011 Brits performance of "Someone Like You" is considered a breakthrough moment in her career, sending the song to No. 1 in the United Kingdom and launching the 21 album to stratospheric heights.
This marks Adele's third Brits performance since that fateful moment. The singer returned in 2012 to perform her other breakout hit "Rolling in the Deep," and closed the 2016 show with her 25 single "When We Were Young."
It looks like Adele was touched by the audience's reaction to her performance of "I Drink Wine."
When the singer took home her second win of the night, for British Artist of the Year, she became so elated that the censors briefly went into effect, leading fans to believe she cursed. Classic Adele.
Adele got emotional after winning Album of the Year for 30 and dedicating the victory to ex-husband Simon Konecki and their son, Angelo, stating "this album was all of our journey, not just mine."
Kate Green/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Adele celebrated all of her victories in the backstage press room by posing with her three trophies. With 12 wins now under her belt, she's just one Brit away from tying Robbie Williams as the most decorated artist in the show's history.
What is Adele laughing about? Did she almost pull a Taylor Swift at the Grammys and drop one of her trophies? Regardless, Adele had the biggest night out of anyone at the Brits.

Germans view conflicts as fundamentally negative and discomforting. Escalating conflict should be an option of last resort. And since effective leadership is expected to anticipate and prevent conflicts within their organization, those conflicts which have "become public" are a sign of leadership failure.
In the American context conflicts are a fact of life. Escalation is often not only necessary, the individual has a fundamental right to seek resolution, to "have my day in court." Effective leadership is defined, among other things, by its ability to resolve conflicts which have "become public."
Germans are surprised, irritated, at times shocked, at how often and quickly their American colleagues raise a conflict to the next management level. Escalation is seen by Germans as a sign of their own failure. Competent, professional, rational people are expected to resolve their differences among themselves.
Conflicts among/with German colleagues go unresolved, or unresolved for too long. The air needs to be cleared. Colleagues should seek resolution openly and confidently. German management should be engaged. "Isn't that what management is paid for?"
If you lead Americans, get ready to resolve conflicts on a regular basis. If you try to avoid them or to push them back down to the working level, you run the danger of being perceived as a weak leader who a.) avoids conflict and/or b.) is unsure about how to resolve conflict. Either way, your legitimacy as a leader will be undermined.
If you are a member in a transatlantic team and come into conflict situations with your American colleagues, be prepared for those conflicts to be escalated rather quickly. Your American colleagues will be less inclined to go the extra mile with you in order to resolve the conflict at your level.
If you lead Germans, you may sense, hear about or even witness conflict among team members. Don't be surprised if they don't or only after some time ask for your assistance in resolving that conflict.
This is neither a challenge to your leadership nor is it an indication that Germans like long, drawn out internal battles. Chances are, they are trying to resolve it themselves. They don't want to bother or embarrass you.
If you are in a transatlantic team and have a conflict of interest with a German colleague, don't be surprised if he/she discourages you from escalating the issue to the next level.
The German attempt to resolve the problem with you personally should be taken at face value. Give it a chance. If you have a German manager, be very careful about escalating the issue too early.
In the German logic, you will be perceived by all - German boss, German colleague, German observers - as uncooperative, rash, possibly hot-headed.

Cruising into Moynalty as if on a morning spin before work, Swiss dynamo Nicole Reist completed her history making assault on Race Around Ireland in record time and immediately paid tribute to her support crew.
The 33-year-old from Winterthur near Zurich duly confirmed her dominance over Europe's toughest annual bike race in finishing her 2153km almost non-stop ride around Ireland, her nearest challenger and leader of the men's category still more than 12 hours away in County Wexford as she accepted the victory plaudits.
Reist took 112hrs and 21mins to complete her epic journey, during which she rested for just four hours in total

Mental but hugely impressive! It's interesting how women are winning ultra endurance events - I believe there's fairly good evidence that men ar stronger but women can go for longer at a lower rate.

Are they ? I watch a fair bit often on channel 4 Saturday mornings. I've never seen a woman come anywhere near the leading men. This is a very impressive but nuts thing this woman has done.
Very obscure though and I'm sure there are plenty of blokes out there could beat her if they tried it.
"Her average speed of 19.71kmh was the eighth fastest in the history of the event and puts her into an exclusive club of women who have won an endurance bike race racing on equal terms with men."
Incredibly impressive but she's the exception rather than the rule.
8th fastest ever is higher than I would have thought before I clicked on that link.

The difference between men and women definitely reduces for endurance events but the men's best times are still about 10% better. The only sport I've ever come up with where a man competing against the women is unlikely to win is gymnastics because the women's sport favours small size and flexibility.

Even things women should be great at like hairdressing and designing dresses they still get trounced by blokes (albeit usually gay blokes)
Yay, men rock.

True Mixed Sex Sports
There are a small number of sports where men and women compete against each other regardless of sex. In these sports, the physical differences between men and women are deemed not to have any effect on the outcome of any competition.
Equestrian: An Olympic sport in which competitors ride horses, Equestrian consists of dressage, jumping, and eventing. Men and women compete in this event together. The reason for this is that the attributes required to be successful are to be a confident and able rider of horses, something in which the sexes don't differ.
Sailing: Men and women compete together in sailing although it is only in one particular class, the Nacre 17. Other classes are segregated by sex.
I'd also say as jockeys; you have to be extremely fit to ride a horse in something like the National.

All of those top athletes are astonishing. Measure out the distances they're covering in the long jump, or high jump for example. It's nuts.
The pace on the track is amazing. World record marathon pace is something like 4.42 per mile.
I'd have been delighted to have ever done one mile at that pace!

Male jump jockeys are as macho as they come. With reason, you have to be hard as nails. The ladies that have managed to compete against the men in that game are to be admired but I don't think there is any serious suggestion that they are as good in situations where the strength really counts, like driving an exhausted horse to the line to snatch a win.
Some horse owners prefer that not to be done though.

Absolutely. You watch a marathon and it's all long shots and faces; looks a bit slow and tactical. Occasionally they give a side view of the runnning legs and it shows just how fast the pace actually is.

A quick google shows that you are absolutely right.
Putting prejudice aside though another female jockey, Carrie Ford, admits "I know it might disappoint some people, but I'm not an advocate of the view that women can compete on any horse, men will always have the strength and some horses need that. Women would have trouble with big, old-fashioned, thick-set chasers; they take a lot of holding together when they get tired. But other horses require more finesse than strength. Some horses resent being bullied."
So how is a woman ever going to win the Grand National?
Well given a brave owner and trainer, the right female jockey with the right temperament and physical attributes, and of course the right horse it is perfectly possible that a woman will win the Grand National in the near future.

I remember Seb Coe running his 800m world record, it was about 1min 41 at the time from memory. At the time I was a fit lad, I could do 100m in 12.5s and was quite quick by any normal standards. I worked out his average speed for the 800m was the same, give or take a second, as mine for 100m. So much for me thinking I was fit/strong at the time...
Can't do the maths, but what's the time per 100m, for a 2hr 03m marathon?
I can't do the maths but can someone demonstrate that no three positive integers a, b, and c satisfy the equation an + bn = cn for any integer value of n greater than 2?

Superstars used to be the tell on how fit you have to be at the peak of any sport, another example being racing drivers - always threw up a few surprises.

Jump jockeys are fit all right, but not sure how they'd have got on at Superstars. With them, it's more a question of sheer hardness - they are regularly hurled off horses at highish speed, trampled and get smashed around to a degree that normal humans can't tolerate. I worked with a lad who had given up his dream of being a steeplechase jockey after the 5th or 6th collarbone breakage in a couple of years.
Thots are victims too!

It's 8:30. I'm sitting in the sunroom sipping my morning coffee, the sun streaming through the windows.
Bella is sprawled full-length on the futon, one eye half-open. Murphy is lying quietly at my feet, occasionally stirring to scratch an itch.
Clare is curled up on the living room couch under a blanket, fast asleep. Grace is at a friend's sleepover.
Dave, the early riser of the house, is still in bed.
No kids yelling. No phones ringing or devices beeping. No irritating noise of the TV in the background. No dogs barking.
Just the sounds of silence.
This week's #HappyAct is to find a few precious minutes this week to enjoy a moment of peace, quiet and solitude.
