Let's Talk Leadership for the Digital Age
Podcast Show with Des Walsh
Leading Local Economic Development: Cr Hermann Vorster [Podcast]
by Des Walsh | Feb 2, 2017 | Leadership, Podcast Episodes
Councillor Hermann Vorster represents Division 11 on the City Council of the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. He also chairs the Council's Economic Development and Major Events Committee. He also serves on the City Planning and City Infrastructure committees.
Just before Christmas 2016 Cr Vorster was the guest speaker at the end of year event hosted by the IT Forum Gold Coast. I was very impressed with his vision of the economic development potential of this local region and seized the opportunity to invite him on to the Let's Talk Leadership show. Happily, he agreed!

City of the Gold Coast
With 38 kilometers of white, sandy beaches, ancient rainforest and hinterland, the city has great lifestyle appeal and on that basis has had extraordinary growth in a relatively short period: it's now Australia's 6th largest city and in area the second largest local government area in Australia.

Historically the economy has depended on construction and tourism, both subject – positively and negatively – to fluctuations in the economy.
The Council's aim is to position the city to embrace the digital economy, in a way that adds value.

We're a city that has that entrepreneurial, "have a go" spirit.
Having gained experience in "the crucible of family business", Cr Vorster became involved in public policy and the media.
Like a lot of people, I got a little bit frustrated with the decisions that were being made around me and decided – foolheartedly, I think – to enter public life.

Leadership and Balancing Interests
We talked about the Council's decision to make a major investment in telecommunications infrastructure – historically in Australia the preserve of the Federal Government (with some partial involvement at times by State governments). So this was being done in the clear knowledge that there was an element of political risk involved.
Cr Vorster commented that when investment decisions are made for specific economic development projects, some may not see the benefit for them and may feel left out. It's essential to communicate openly with them and, for instance, point to spillover benefits for other areas of the community.
Bringing the Community with You
To bring the community with you on big decisions, it's necessary to:
speak to people in their own language
research what their priorities are
respond to what that tells you
He gave the example of a street with schoolteacher residents but no broadband. People understand when the need to remedy that is explained in terms of enabling those teachers to prepare better to teach the community's children.
The upcoming Commonwealth Games, to be held on the Gold Coast, is a major event, which, like an Olympic Games, is over in a short period of time. What people want is a legacy, so there are key decisions about how to achieve that.
There have been global success stories for businesses built on the Gold Coast.
Important to get those who have success to stick around and thus encourage others.
The Council's role is to do what it can at a public policy level to create a supportive environment for that.
People do not like change and there is a challenge in how to talk to people about change.
More about Cr Vorster and Contact Details
A former Bond University Vice-Chancellor's Scholar, he has degree qualifications in accounting, corporate strategy and business information systems.
Elected in 2016, Councillor Vorster became the City of Gold Coast's youngest ever Councillor at age 30. He has had a number of leadership roles in community groups including Gold Coast District Neighbourhood Watch Incorporated and the Chamber of Commerce & Industry Queensland (CCIQ) Regional Policy Board.

Different styles of leadership needed for different contexts
The style of leadership you need to use varies with the type of people that you're managing.
Also with a global team there are different cultural considerations, with varying expectations about leadership and differences in the practice of leadership. And with different levels of seniority there are different issues to consider.
Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence
In 1993, some of the change we are looking at now was deemed "just around the corner".
Now, with processing power and the miniaturization of components we have reached a point where what was dreamed of can now become a reality.
I think we're right on the edge of a big transformation. It's got some really good points, I think. There's a lot of concern as well.
On the theme of concerns about impact, Larry mentioned the acquisition this year by Uber of the company Otto with its autonomous ("self-driving") trucks.
So the fear is – I don't know how long it's going to take – that's going to put over two and a half million people out of work. That's kind of the flipside of the promise. Every time you do this – you automate something – somebody loses a job.
We Also Discussed
Education – we need to educate children to teach themselves: learn how to learn.
Leadership for global teams – a different style of leadership; requires practice; a whole new style people are going to have to learn.
Transaction-thinking vs Relationship-building and the lifetime value of a customer (LVC).
The increasing necessity for business leaders to become active on social media and deal with the challenge of committing the necessary time (some practical advice here).
What keeps startup founders awake at night?
The velocity required for execution and growth.
Hungry competitors – other startups.
Giant companies with deep pockets – uneven contest.

Innovation Leaders are Learners: Annalie Killian [Podcast]
by Des Walsh | Nov 4, 2016 | Leadership, Podcast Episodes
Annalie Killian's passion is combining humans and machines in ways that maximise creativity and grow performance and engagement.
She is currently curating a "cloud of human creativity" for sparks & honey, a cultural insights and innovation agency in New York, experimenting with exponential organizational design and reciprocal networks.
From 2000-2015 she was SVP of Innovation & Communication at AMP – an iconic Australian Financial Services brand. She founded the Amplify Festival of Innovation & Thought Leadership and over 10 years grew it into a globally-recognized engine for systemic and culture change across a business eco-system, and a vehicle for accelerating learning and organizational agility.
Click Here for More About Annalie
We discussed a range of topics, including:
Innovation and what it means
Leadership for the digital age
Resisters and saboteurs
Challenges of having responsibility for innovation
Pay equity for women
What keeps business owners awake at night
Plus a special invitation to people in or visiting New York
Innovation – Towards a Definition
Having researched the various formal definitions of innovation, Annalie found and liked this:
You're innovative when other people say you're innovative.
And added:
When people think you're innovative, that's when your brand has shifted.
Perceptions can change – example of Apple and Microsoft
Implicit in this part of the conversation was a shared surprise, as in, who would ever have thought we would be talking about Microsoft stealing a march on Apple in the innovation stakes?
(Microsoft) have sort of captured the imagination of the makers and the creators and those are the people at the edge.
It's about leadership being open and curious and understanding that the context has shifted.
Leadership fundamentally starts with listening and not talking.
The biggest barriers to innovation in large corporations are leaders who are threatened by admitting that they don't know the answers.
Iconic brands are brands that stay in tune with cultural shifts.
The biggest danger for leadership is not to be plugged into the edge.
We shared a memory of an exemplary moment of servant leadership by Peter Mason AM, former Chairman of AMP, who in a workshop Des led at an early Amplify festival was the first and only volunteer for an online experiment with a personal data aggregator. Annalie spoke very eloquently of his leadership and his support for innovation.
Challenges of Responsibility for Innovation
Don't do it if you need popularity.
…if you're going to be good at your job you're going to get up people's nose.
I paid tribute to the fact that Annalie had achieved so much in some very traditionally male dominated industries – mining, financial services and now, as she reminded me in terms of industry traditions, advertising. That led to a discussion about pay equity and a strong call by Annalie for those in a position to change the injustice of any current situation to take action to change that. I recalled that some 55 years ago my late mother had made a speech to a State conference of her political party on this very subject – such a long and unjustifiable time to fix what is wrong!
What Keeps Business Leaders Awake At Night?
Going back to our earlier conversation about leadership for the digital age, a big problem for some leaders is feeling they have to know everything, be in total command of everything, which is no longer feasible.
Annalie's surefire remedy for leaderly sleeplessness:
Be a learner
And a related paraphrase of a comment by systems scientist Peter Senge:
The only sustainable advantage in the long run is to outlearn the competition.

Annalie is a Fellow of the Aspen Institute's First Movers Programme and in 2013 the Hargraves Institute for Innovation recognized her contribution to the Innovation Agenda in Australia.

Social Media for Tourism Leadership: Sheila Scarborough [Podcast]
by Des Walsh | Oct 6, 2016 | Leadership, Podcast Episodes
Sheila Scarborough is a speaker and trainer specializing in tourism, travel, and social media. She's written for many blogs and print publications and is also a certified Navy Master Training Specialist, with years of experience as an instructor.
Along with Leslie McLellan, she's part of the Tourism Currents team, offering an online course and in-person training in social media for tourism and hospitality.

Leadership Qualities
Surprisingly, sometimes depth of knowledge is not as important as the ability to ask the right questions.
Does the experience of military leadership translate easily into the business world?
The greatest struggle can be in having been used to being on a team. As a solo entrepreneur "there's no one to turn to, until you can hire someone you trust enough". This is especially challenging for people who've been in very senior military positions.
It's a constant learning process, as a leader. If you ever think you have it all figured out, that means you think you have human beings all figured out. And you're wrong.
A key issue for leaders is keeping up with change – which means continuous learning
You've got to be educating yourself and letting yourself be foolish and letting yourself go and learn things and do things that maybe mean being a little uncomfortable and silly, but that's how you learn.
Social Media and Tourism
Tourism Currents' primary client group is the larger tourism organizations, but those organizations ask for help with social media training for tourism partners (hospitality, destinations…), so Tourism Currents have been doing quite a bit of partner training.
Some observations on that:
People get too concerned about the technology
Need to think of using social media as a different way to do what you've always done (in promoting your destination)
People become frozen with the options available – have to get people to focus
You don't have to be on every social channel. You need to be on the ones where your market is.
Key advice they provide for these tourism partners – two essential steps
Claim your business on Google My Business. Fill out all the information, upload pictures, respond to reviews
Maintain one really good Facebook page
Do those two things well and you'll probably survive…
It's a long game: needs patience.
Social Media in Different Countries and With Different Cultural Groups
A number of things are the same everywhere.
One of the challenges – everywhere – is in getting people to understand that using social media effectively has to go beyond "pumping out the updates". There has to be interaction.
Some say they hadn't been told there was an expectation for interaction.
The Impact of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality on Tourism
Are virtual reality/augmented reality a threat to tourism destinations? Sheila does not believe so. She used the example of experiencing a virtual tour of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, in Winnipeg. Far from feeling she had seen enough, the experience made her want to visit the actual museum.
People still want to go and visit the Grand Canyon in person.
More about Sheila and Contact Details
Sheila is on the National Professional Development Committee for the AWC (Association for Women in Communications,) co-founded and still writes for the award-winning Perceptive Travel blog, helps run #tourismchat on Twitter, and serves on the Programming Committee for SXSWi, the South by Southwest Interactive tech conference.

Social Media Strategy Checklist for Leaders [Podcast]
by Des Walsh | Sep 8, 2016 | Leadership, Podcast Episodes, Social Media
In this podcast episode I talk about how Business leaders need to be able to fit expectations and demands about social media into a strategic framework that is a good fit with their overall business strategy and I share a link to my Social Media Strategy Checklist.
Whether you are a beginner in using social media for business, or an active or even advanced user, this checklist is for you. You can use it to guide your own thinking and as a basis for a strategy review session with your team.
The checklist is based on my Simple Social Media Strategy Template, which has been used effectively for a range of organizations, from small business through to a very large organization, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). It's scaleable!
Get Your Copy of the Checklist
To download your free copy of the checklist, just click here to go to the Home Page on this site, drop your name and email address into the box there, confirm that when requested and you will get an email with the link to download the checklist.
There are nine key areas requiring our attention for a comprehensive strategy:
(Each of these is explained in detail on the podcast.)
Tools to help research your market's activity in social media and learn more about your customers' and prospects' concerns
Create a survey with Google Forms or SurveyMonkey.
Create lists on Twitter, either with Twitter itself or a dashboard application such as Hootsuite
Join relevant LinkedIn groups and listen
For the USA check out the Pew Internet research site and search on social media
For Australia, study the annual Sensis report on social media – here is the link to the 2016 report
Planning, Scheduling, Analytics and other Social Media Management Tools
(Note: the pricing structures of these services vary – the figures I quoted on the podcast and the figures here are as good as I can work out – open to correction/improvement)
Hubspot Marketing Platform – US$200 a month (paid annually) with $600 onboarding, up to enterprise level at $2,400 a month and $5,000 onboarding: there is a 30 day free trial
Buffer – free then $10 a month

SproutSocial – $59 per month per user up to $500 per month for 3 users: 30 day free trial on any plan
Edgar – $49 a month basic (expected to rise soon to around $79: 14 day free trial
Other services that seem worth checking out
Agorapulse | Jollor | MavSocial | Oktopost (especially for B2B) | Sendible | Friends+Me (for Google+). TweetDeck is just for Twitter and seems not to be getting much care from Twitter.
New Community Leadership for Small Towns: Becky McCray [Podcast]
by Des Walsh | Aug 25, 2016 | Leadership, Podcast Episodes
Becky McCray is a small town business owner; she and her husband Joe own a retail liquor store and a cattle ranch in the United States. She shares insights from this real-world experience at her highly-ranked website, Small Biz Survival, and in her award-winning book, Small Town Rules.
As always when Becky and I have a good old chat, we both find ourselves surprised and delighted at how much the concerns of small communities are not dissimilar, even thousands of miles apart across the wide Pacific.
Click Here for More About Becky
An Emerging Style of Collaborative Leadership
There has been a sea change in how leadership works in small towns.
The time when a group of just a few people could sit in a room and run your town are over. The center of power has shifted.
More collaborative now, more project-focused.
Becky illustrated with the story of a playground in her town that was in serious need of restoration and upgrading of equipment.
The entire project was driven by people getting involved and not by a few people telling everyone what to do.
Coffee and Calendars – Getting Groups to Work Together
The Coffee and Calendars process – simple and effective.
There are still small towns where various groups operate independently of one another – a kind of silo effect.
Becky shows them how to deal with this by encouraging them to just start by getting together, a couple of people at a time. Two people, each from a different group or organization, bring their group's calendar, meet for coffee and compare calendars. Then they meet others and repeat the process. People gradually find ways to collaborate.
We also talked about the importance of being proactive if you want to engage groups who are not usually involved and may actually feel uncomfortable at events, even where the existing group wants them involved. Ask about their concerns, about ways the existing group might be able to support them.
Engaging Young People
A big problem in trying to get young people involved in volunteer activity is the old committee structures.
Story of Marci Penner of the Kansas Sampler Foundation and a guided process of listening to young people.
If the community is interested in bringing young people in, the first thing is to abolish your existing formal structures and leadership roles. Make it much more informal, much more project-based, with shorter timeframes.
And then listen to them.
Social Media Key to Information Sharing
Social media is extremely important in small communities. It's the new informal center of information dissemination and actually faster than the old town gossip was at getting the information out.
It's crucial for people to use the social media tools to get good stories about their community shared.
Do not wait until the most negative, hateful person in town decides to start using online tools, such as a blog, to run your community into the ground, … Start by setting up ways to share positive information about your community.
Knowing that Becky is a fund of information and ideas about how to develop and promote tourism for local communities and knowing how important that is for some communities' very survival, I asked her for some thoughts on this.
If people think it's a nice place to visit, they'll think it's a nice place to live
There is a trend for travellers to seek out sites off the beaten track, with local cultural experiences – think local artists and artisans
Regional and quirky are in
I shared an experience of visiting a very poor village in Java years ago and the way they had been helped to use the resources they had to create objects for tourists – my clay elephant story.
What keeps local leaders in this new world awake at night? Resistance to new ideas. Through their SaveYour.town initiative, Becky and her colleague Deb Brown have developed the "Idea Friendly" concept to help people deal with that resistance.
More about Becky and Contact Details
Becky's practical perspective is often featured in a wide range of media, from The New York Times to The High Plains Journal. She makes her home base in Hopeton, Oklahoma, a community of 30 people. Her goal is to deliver practical steps you can put into action right away to shape the future of your town.

LTL Ep 32: The Art of Leading Non Profit Organizations [Podcast]
Non Profit – the Economic Dimension
According to a World Bank report, if the global nonprofit sector were a country, it would have the sixteenth largest economy in the world. In 2012 alone, the nonprofit sector contributed $878 billion to the US economy, about 5.4 percent of the nation's GDP.
With stakes that high, we could be forgiven for thinking there would be some serious research and discussion about leadership for nonprofit organizations. But evidently the research is quite limited at best: most of the research on leadership is in the for-profit and government sectors.
"Non Profit" or "Not for Profit"? There is a message in the use of the term "not for profit" rather than "non profit", namely that organizations in that sector often make profits and at times quite substantially, but the profits are not distributed to shareholders, owners, or founders. Or should not be! Profits are used to maintain and grow the organization or maybe contributed to the sector in some way. From my reading, in practice the terms are used interchangeably.
Types/Sectors
Social and human services
Generalization alert!
Forprofit – profit-focused leadership
Notforprofit – more relationship-based, priority on democratic decision-making and execution
Skills, Qualities, Behaviors
Various qualities/skills/behaviors common to leadership for both sectors.
Some attitudes/skills/behaviors characterizing nonprofit:
Decision-making more democratic
Collaboration very important
Vision making and vision communication crucial
High demand for skill in complex communications
The Ideal
Ideal skill/competence set: combine private sector business acumen with competence in traditional nonprofit culture (For this insight/formulation, acknowledging the paper Understanding leadership in successful non-profit organizations).
Includes financial competence, mission-definition, strategic thinking/planning, ability to scale, environment awareness, technological capacity, entrepreneurship, social media literacy and competency, attention to governance (transparency and accountability).
Traditional nonprofit culture
Democratic decision-making, respect for organization's history, founders, respect for volunteers.
vision-making and vision-communicating, special demand on communication skills – team, board, partners, sponsors (government, business, community).
Also – listening, patience, valuing diversity – including age
Ability to work with boards of diverse backgrounds, including business people who are often not taking the role seriously enough and/or are less than rigorous in their service. There for the kudos or to do a favor. ("Give, get or get off")
The Volunteer Sector
Many but not all nonprofits are volunteer based or rely extensively on volunteers (e.g. animal rescue organizations, sporting clubs, public galleries and museums).
Need to understand volunteers – why they join, why they stay, how to engage, how to reward, how to respect and engage skillsets and enthusiasm, what annoys or disappoints, how to recruit more.
Creative Industry Sector
Theatre directors, actors, dancers, musicians pride themselves on not being money-driven. Leader has to champion and represent their passion and at the same time balance the books.
Support, communication, attentive listening, and to others effective lobbying and acknowledgement.
Story of Arts Council of Great Britain's man's comment about what makes a good arts administrator – have "bowels of compassion for the artist" and be a good administrator. You need to listen to get the full dimensions of this. Reference is biblical – ? 1 John 17 in the King James Version.
A Quote That Sums it Up
"A strong nonprofit leader drives a sense of mission down through the organization, upward into the board and outward in to the community. He or she is willing to do whatever it takes to enable the organization to follow their mission effectively."
Paul Light. 2002. Grasping for the Ring: Defining Strong Nonprofit Leadership

Click Here for More About Krishna
Awareness, Tennis and Leadership
The opening (and, as it turned out, recurring) topic for our conversation was "Being Aware – the Secret to Powerful Leadership".
Krishna quoted the legendary tennis champion Billie-Jean King (39 Grand Slam titles, including 12 singles, 16 women's double and 11 mixed doubles) as saying that self awareness is the secret of being a champion.
Connection between tennis and the corporate world. The sports field is like a laboratory, with lessons that can be learnt on the tennis court and transported into the corporate world.
He has long been inspired by the insights and work of Timothy Gallwey, especially in his modern classic The Inner Game of Work.
Many leaders come to their position without experience of serious failure. Even the greatest sports champions experience failure: they learn how to cope with wins and losses, as long as they have more wins than losses. In the corporate world many work not-to-fail rather than to succeed.
Importance of having awareness of the environment in which the business operates.
Scaling Up and Major Change
Challenges for young developers who become CEOs of fast-growing startups. Investors want rapid growth. Krishna's advice – you as leader are always going to be the visionary and you need to be ok about handing over management to others.
CEO challenge with major change is to create and share a strong story of a bright future – a strategic story of success.
Four areas of awareness for a CEO initiating a change process
awareness of others (company wide)
systems (and broader environment) awareness
strategy (left and right brain in sync)
We talked also about:
warning signs that a leader needs to do something about self-awareness
what keeps business leaders awake at night

Startup Apprentice delivers award winning, action based entrepreneurial education programs that teach the 'Silicon Valley' lean approach to starting a business to high-school students.
Our experience based learning helps bridge the gap between book-smarts and street-smarts, with a fully immersive, hands-on, experienced based program where students actually launch a new business or social enterprise.
Startup Apprentice grew out of Gold Coast startup weekends, towards the end of 2013. Started with a pilot at Varsity College, Gold Coast, in June 2014. Have now involved some 600 high school students.
The leadership style they promote in the program is very collaborative. The students embrace that really well: accountability plus working better and faster together.
Leadership and Transition from Innovator to CEO
Two different roles. Leader of a startup needs very different skillset from someone leading an established business. Great metaphor of "safari leader" vs bus driver or train driver. Founder-developers need to decide early on whether they really want to become "bus drivers".
A New Style of Leadership Needed for the Digital Age?
Basic principles of good business will always be the same – still need common sense and good ethics. Business now more social.
Sharon is well known, well liked and highly respected in the local tech and startup community as the co-founder of Startup Apprentice.
At the 2014 Westpac Bank's Community Leaders Awards, Sharon was one of three finalists in the Start-up Leader category. She was also named by the Queensland Government as an 'Innovation Champion' under the Innovation and Science Champions program.

Change Fitness and Change Readiness: Dr Steve Barlow [Podcast]
by Des Walsh | Jul 1, 2016 | Leadership, Podcast Episodes
Dr Steve Barlow is a change fitness and change readiness specialist, trainer and change management consultant and has a fascinating career history.
Steve began his career as a teacher of French and English and later ran a high school English department and managed the senior grades. He has managed charter boats on Sydney Harbour, which included running a cruising restaurant and bar and managing cruises. He later served as publicity officer for public schools in the state of New South Wales, Australia.
Maximum Security and Insights About Change
Working with inmates in maximum security in New South Wales correctional facilities gave Steve insights about change that were to feed into his PhD work and later career and business.
Many prison inmates came to programs with no great deal of hope. Some proved able to make good use of change. What made the difference was not the programs themselves so much as what was going onside the individual prisoners' heads.
Change Fitness and Change Readiness
If a change is really difficult it can push us to the limits of our change fitness – just as with physical fitness.
Just because someone has change fitness doesn't necessarily mean they are ready for change.
Applying This to the Organization
Organizations capable of dealing with change have these four characteristics:
the individual members are change fit
the individual members are change ready
the organizational culture supports the change
leadership/management change readiness
Dr Achilles Arminakis identified five factors for what people need to agree and believe to get on board with organizational change. People need to:
agree there's a problem that needs solving
believe that what's being proposed is the right solution and is going to work
believe they can do it
believe that the leaders are committed
see some value in it for themselves, in person or for the team
Attitudes of Leaders
We talked about one area which calls on capabilities for change – mergers and acquisitions.
A tendency of managers to focus on areas they can control – for example legal, contractual, financial issues. Other areas, about people, are more challenging and management is often unaware and/or don't want to know about these aspects. It's difficult to have that conversation with leadership.
Training Coaches
Steve's company, The Change Gym, works with coaches so they can help leaders in industry. They have programs and tools specifically focused on change readiness and change fitness. Most of their work is done online, with people all around the globe,
The change fit person has the capacity to be their own primary agent of change in their own life.
It's a complex world and leaders live with this – leaders need to be more like explorers than experts.
More about Steve and Contact Details
Steve has run anger management and conflict resolution groups for maximum security inmates in the New South Wales correctional system and insights he gained there were to inform his PhD research and later career.
He has authored or co-authored four books on the importance of change readiness for organizational change, one of which is now a text for three Masters degree programs at the University of Tasmania.
Steve's company, The Change Gym, works in the field of organization change and specializes in the psychology of change.

Q: php For some strange reason my password_hash(), does not work I have a small problem with me PHP code, I've been trying to learn about encryption and internet safety, and so I decided to try it out, my version is currently 5.4.41, the part where it doesn't work is when I type this out, as soon as it gets to it the page fails to complete.
this is the code,
password_hash("password", PASSWORD_BCRYPT, 10);

pls help me.. thanks

A: If you are using a PHP version prior to 5.5 the password_hash() and password_verify() do not exist yet there is a compatibility pack available here

But upgrading to a new version of PHP would be a better idea. Like PHP7.0 or PHP7.1

Making the concept of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) ready to be a mechanism to combat tropical deforestation and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by compensating developing countries for income foregone in reducing their rates of deforestation, requires solutions for outstanding controversies. Existing opinions on REDD+ vary greatly. By using the Q-method as part of an action research approach, this paper investigates experts' attitudes towards REDD+. Based on their responses to 41 statements, four attitudinal groups were identified, characterized as pragmatists, sceptics, conventionalists and optimists. Opinions between groups differed as to the level of application, credibility, eligibility, economic effectiveness, and public acceptability of REDD+ policy instruments. Three of the four groups were supportive of international REDD+ type policy interventions, but there was disagreement on the more concrete design issues of REDD+ projects, such as the allocation of responsibilities, the distribution of burdens and benefits, and whether or not co-benefits could be expected, or should be required. As the potential of REDD+ is shaped not only by international climate policy but also by national and regional policies and stakeholder perceptions, this paper suggests that participatory forms of decision-making may help to develop tailor-made solutions that are supported by the many different actors that are necessarily involved in REDD+ projects.
This research was conducted under the EU-FP7 project Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation through Alternative Land Uses in Rainforests of the Tropics (REDD-ALERT). It is also part of the thematic research on Land Use for Multiple Benefits (WP 3.5) and Evaluation of Ecosystem Services (WP 1.2) of Scottish Government Strategic Research Programme.

Home - News - MVF CEO Awarded by Queen
MVF CEO Awarded by Queen
STAFF at MVF are celebrating after Her Royal Highness, Elizabeth II, awarded it with the most prestigious official award for business in the UK.
MVF, in Kentish Town, London, is the UK's fastest growing tech company and was one of only an elite group of companies recognised as a deserving winner of a Queen's Award for Enterprise in International Trade.
CEO Titus Sharpe will visit Buckingham Palace to receive the award later on in the year and MVF will also be visited by a Royal representative. He said: "I am thrilled it has received this incredible award. Last year we were named the fastest growing tech company in the UK in the Sunday Times Tech Track 100, this year we made the top 50 small companies to work for in the UK, and now this."
To qualify for the award MVF had to demonstrate a substantial and sustained increase in export earnings over three consecutive 12-month periods.
MVF works as a sophisticated online digital publisher with clever technology platforms that it applies to marketing to help its clients acquire more customers globally.
Business Secretary Vince Cable told the BBC: "Companies that are growing, innovating and championing UK business overseas deserve the recognition that these awards bestow."
This year 162 businesses have been recognised, with 110 winning awards for international trade; 39 for innovation and 13 for sustainable development.
The Queen's Awards for Enterprise is an awards programme for British businesses and other organizations who excel at international trade, innovation or sustainable development.
They are the highest official UK awards for British businesses. The scheme was established as The Queen's Award to Industry by a royal warrant of 30 November 1965, and individual categories have been known in the past as The Queen's Awards for Export, Export Achievement, Technology, Technological Achievement and Environmental Achievement. The scheme also includes an award for individuals, The Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion.
The awards are conferred by the reigning British monarch on his or her birthday every year. For Her Majesty Elizabeth II this is 21 April.

Four arrested after police officer injured after being hit by a van in Blackley
Nigel Barlow
A 43-year-old police officer has been taken to hospital for treatment after being hit by a van in Blackley while attending an incident earlier this morning.
Police had been called to the property on Sandyhill Road to reports of a disturbance.
A black Citroën Berlingo van drive towards Blackley New Road and police attempted to speak to the driver of the van before it collided with a police officer and several vehicles belonging to members of the public and police.
The van fled towards the Newton Heath area where it has since been recovered.
Two men aged 23 and two girls aged 16 and 17 have been arrested on suspicion of assault and theft of a motor vehicle. They all remain in custody for questioning.
Blackley New Road remains closed at the junction with Delaunays Road while investigative work is carried out.
Superintendent Chris Hill, of GMP's City of Manchester division, said: "Thanks to the quick work of officers from across the force, we've been able to make four arrests and I would like to thank them along with the public for their support throughout the morning.
"Whilst the injured officer came straight back into work from hospital on his new crutches, he's been sent home to recover with his family and we all wish him a speedy recovery.
"Our investigation remains ongoing and I would continue to urge anyone with any information that could assist our investigation to please get in touch."
Anyone with information should call police on 0161 856 3610 or 101 quoting incident number 395 of 18/10/2018, or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Around the minors - 6/7/13
The Bowie Baysox, Frederick Keys, and the Delmarva Shorebirds were all rained out last night. That leaves the Norfolk Tides and one of the Dominican Summer League teams in the mix.
By Stacey Jun 8, 2013, 11:00am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Around the minors - 6/7/13
Josh Stinson
Elaina Ellis/Norfolk Tides
Norfolk Tides 2, Louisville Bats 1
Josh Stinson started for the Tides and pitched 6 1/3 innings of one-run baseball. He gave up eight hits, six of which were singles, and the only run he allowed was on a solo homer to Neftali Soto. Though he did give up a lot of hits, Stinson recorded ten outs on the ground vs just two in the air, which is pretty nice. He also struck out 5.
Andy Loomis, Jon Rauch, and Jairo Asencio each pitched in relief. Loomis pitched to three batters and retired them all while Rauch and Asencio gave up one hit each.
The Tides hitters couldn't do much with Bats starting pitcher Yohan Pino. The scored a solo run in the third inning when Xavier Avery singled, stole second base, and scored on a single by Jason Pridie. Pino came out of the game after six innings (5 hits, 0 walks, 6 strikeouts) and the Tides scored the go ahead run in the eighth inning off of relief pitcher Jose Diaz. Pridie was again involved, this time hitting a leadoff double and scoring on a single by Zelous Wheeler.
Pridie and Avery were the only Tides with two hits, and Pridie's eighth inning double was the only extra base hit the team recorded.
DSL Orioles2 2, DSL Yankees1 8
Starting pitcher Yezier Marrugo walked four batters in three innings, resulting in five runs (just one earned). He was relieved by Yeraldo Fermin who pitched a pretty good game. 5 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 5 K.
The DSL O's hitters struck out eight times in five innings against a kid named David Rodriguez. Rockny Martinez, Robertico Medina, and Daniel Fajardo had two hits each. No one on the team drew a walk.
I don't know what happened to the DSL Orioles1 team. They're on the schedule for the day but there was no score on MiLB.com.
Bowie Baysox, Frederick Keys, Delmarva Shorebirds - Rained Out
The Baysox and the Keys will both play doubleheaders tonight to make up for the rainout, and the Shorebirds will play a doubleheader on Sunday.


The course is designated for data analysts who wish to begin using a wide range of analytical libraries available in Python. The course is the most beneficial to people interested in programming and are already familiar with the analyst profession, as the course focuses on tools and not only techniques. The course aims to decrease the distance between the analyst and the programmer. In addition, the participants may better understand the use of analytical tools in the production language environment.
The participants get familiarised with Python and the use of various analytical tools available in that language. The course features a combination of various tools, which in turn enables execution of more complex analyses using an extensive range of techniques. Furthermore, algorithms in Python may very often be easily transferred to the production environment in a relatively short time.
The course is conducted by people dealing with the problem of data analysis using Python in their everyday work and hold practical experience in that area. Therefore, the course often goes beyond the available materials. Moreover, the programme is regularly updated because of the fast development of solutions discussed during the course.


High School Festival - WV Theatre Association, Inc.
My name is Jason A. Young; I am the High School Festival Coordinator. Please consider this your invitation to The 2018 WVTA High School Festival! This High School festival will be held on the campus of West Liberty University in West Liberty, WV on November 1-2, 2018.
The WVTA is dedicated to advancing new talent in West Virginia. Many West Virginia colleges and universities will attend the festival to recruit young theatre artists. These institutions of higher education include Fairmont State University, Davis & Elkins College, Glenville State University, West Virginia State University, West Virginia Wesleyan College, West Virginia University, Marshall University and more. The professors will be attending the one-act performances, holding auditions, advising technical projects and meeting with individual students. If you have students interested in theatre at the college level, this is the festival for them!
One-Act Play Competition: Schools may perform a 20-40 minute one-act. Each one-act will receive a critique from 3 professional adjudicators. Two schools will be invited to take their one-acts on to the Southeastern Theatre Conference (SETC) in March with a generous financial stipend from WVTA to help them on their way!
College Auditions: Theatre students are provided direct access to the college reps attending the festival. To audition, students will need a one-minute monologue for straight acting or a 16-bar musical theatre selection and a one-minute monologue for musical theatre. Technical Theatre students may also participate in a portfolio review and interview. After the student's audition, the college reps will meet with the students.
Tech Project Consultations: New this year, as many schools and students prepare for this Spring's Area and State Thespian Festivals, we will have a technical theatre professional on hand to offer 15-minute, one-on-one consultations to help students begin the process of design their project for the Thespian Tech Expo. Students must register for an appointment beforehand and pay the $5 Technical Theatre Consultation fee.
Workshops: Also new this year, WVTA is renewing our commitment to providing students the opportunity to participate in dynamic and exciting workshops led by theatre professors and industry professionals in all aspects of theatre arts. Topics will be based upon workshop proposals as well as special requests from participating schools.
School Membership: $30 – each school that participates in the festival has to be a member of the WVTA. This fee is to register the school as a member of the organization. This allows all directors, school faculty, staff and chaperones to attend the festival for free without becoming an actual member of WVTA.
Student Membership: $10 per student – The WVTA is membership driven. That means every student who participates in the High School Festival has to be member of WVTA. Students who pay this fee can list WVTA on their resume as a member of a professional theatre organization.
Once again, this membership fee goes toward paying costs for the festival.
College Audition Fee: $5 – Any student who would like to be auditioned by the college reps at the festival need to pay the High School Audition Fee. A student does NOT have to be a member of WVTA to participate, nor does their school have to be a member. ANY junior or senior from ANY West Virginia high school can be seen by the reps as long as they pay this $5 audition fee.
Tech Project Consultations: $5 – This is a registration fee for each project (individual or group) submitted.

The BBBS WNC chapter contacted Status Forward to provide an updated design to their existing website. We focused on reorganizing the home page and interior page site architecture and layout, while also providing an updated look and feel with the organization brand colors. We helped to strategize new copy and imagery, and implemented clear calls to action with the purpose of driving increased donation, volunteering and enrollment. A landing page was also created for the 100 Mentors in 100 Days event which takes place throughout the year in certain chapters of BBBS.

We Are Not the Good Guys (But We Can Be)
Fourth Estate/Billy Ferguson
BY SAMUEL FELDHOUSEN, CONTRIBUTOR
"America First" is a popular slogan going around nowadays, popularized by the sentient, hilariously bigoted trashbag that somehow became our president. It's a distinctive motto, implying that we should care about ourselves over the rest of the world, because we're the best in the world, right?
Beyond the fact that "America First" started out as a slogan for the actual Klu Klux Klan, the blind fanaticism behind America is a major problem with the country. America certainly has had some positive effects on the world, like its dedication to providing assistance to other parts of the world in the face of disaster (up until Trump rolled in anyways, such as our failure to send proper aid to Puerto Rico). But at the same time, America has been responsible for countless atrocities, even as far back as its conception!
The Constitution is one of the most widely respected documents in our history. Some would even say that the Constitution allowed unmatched protection for minorities. But at the same time, out of fear of a coming British invasion, our founding fathers made a concession in the Constitution to allow slavery, in order to get the last few states on board. In addition to the obvious, their "solution" would go on to cause the bloodiest conflict on American soil, the Civil War, where slavery was finally brought to an end.
To make matters worse, from America's beginning the first settlers had been committing genocide against the indigenous people, running them off their land or outright killing them. America would go on to strip them of all their land, building our shining cities on the graves of the people who dared to fight for their home.
The next major example is the Korean War, where American bombers dropped approximately 635,000 tons worth of bombs. Their brutal methods lead to a death toll of three million, equivalent to ten pervent of Korea's population at the time.
Not long after, America joined in on the Vietnam War, in a bid to stop the territorial expansion of the USSR and its allies. One of the most brutal parts of the war was the use of Agent Orange, initially used as a way of denying guerrilla fighters cover in the forests. One of Agent Orange's ingredients is dioxin, a highly toxic chemical that can persist in the environment for a significant amount of time, making most food in the area inedible without sustaining bodily harm.
Even now America is in the middle of a fresh set of atrocities: refugees in cages at the border, a climate crisis already biting at our heels and not to mention the town of Flint, which still doesn't have portable water after so many years. But that doesn't mean there is no hope!
Our predecessors may have done terrible things, but that doesn't mean we have to follow in their footsteps. We can change our home for the better, stop the cycle of death and suffering, but the time to act is now! We need to fight against the injustices in this country, not only to break the chain started so long ago, but to fight for a future worth living in.

Munich, October 18, 2017 -Although businesses recognize the importance of digital transformation, organizations worldwide are struggling to balance the elements needed to deliver on digital. Of 1,625 business leaders surveyed for Fujitsu's new report, The Digital Transformation PACT , one in three (33%) has cancelled a project in the last two years at a cost of €423,000, while one in four (28%) has experienced a failed project costing €555,000. 84 percent of businesses say that their customers expect them to be more digital, while 71 percent believe that they are behind their competitors. Ultimately, two in three (66%) believe that they will lose customers relative to their competitors as a result of digital transformation.
