Environmental activist Zack Rago explains the damaging effects of the 2015 El Nino on the Great Barrier Reef. Increases in only a few degrees Celsius can result in coral death.
Thriving and vibrantly colored coral reefs, home to all kinds of sea life, have long blanketed the ocean floor. But now, much of it lies dull and lifeless.
Zack Rago is an underwater camera technician for View Into The Blue, the first company to capture underwater time lapse footage, which can be seen on the Netflix original documentary "Chasing Coral." He described his experience in a keynote speech hosted by the Environmental Sustainability Alliance at the CUB Junior Ballroom on Wednesday.
"My job is to literally watch an ecosystem that I love die," Rago said.
His passion for marine life and coral started when Rago spent his summers in Hawaii, following his dad on educational projects. As a child, he would catch creatures and explore the ocean, later becoming an avid diver.
"Chasing Coral," which he is featured in, reveals a world that is quickly declining. It documents one of the largest coral bleaching events ever to occur, due to rising ocean temperatures.
The idea of the documentary was to capture the bleaching event using cameras that needed no human interaction. Due to unforeseen events, the cameras didn't work and the team decided to take pictures manually.
They dove for 55 days straight, taking photos of the same reef for five hours every day to capture the bleaching. Rago said watching the Great Barrier Reef ecosystem wither away in front of him was one of the hardest things he has ever done.
"I felt crushed and hopeless watching something I really enjoy perish," Rago said.
Last November, Rago and his colleague discovered two new species of coral in the northern region of the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia. In this region, 95 percent of the coral died, except in one small location.
Something about these corals allowed them to withstand bleaching in a region they should have died in, and Rago hopes to unlock that potential to save other reefs. This new reef is so rare that the GPS coordinates are a secret.
The reef is also highly productive, and has micro reefs growing on top of it. The reef itself is over 900 years old, Rago said.
Though coral reefs around the world continue to die at an increasing rate, Rago said there is hope. In another region where 99 percent of coral died, a single coral plant survived, meaning there is something genetically different about that one plant that could help reefs around the world survive.
At a certain time during the full moon in November, each individual coral plant releases eggs and sperm into the water, acting as seed banks rejuvenating the next generation of coral.
Marine biologists hope they can create a new genotype of coral that is able to survive warmer ocean temperatures. The idea is to take corals that survive in decimated areas and create offspring with their genetic material.
Rago said he hopes that by combining science and art through projects like "Chasing Coral," the public perception of environmental issues like coral reef death will change.


Q: I have never levied late charges before but I would like to start applying late charges to unpaid invoices. I will be giving the clients notice and providing them with a date when it will be effective by. I would like some advice whether this is okay, and the correct terminology to use.
A: It would be wise to seek advice from a solicitor to draw up a contract and go over the correct terminology. Also take into account that any charges you impose must not be disproportionate.
I have been receiving complaints about an employee, with one complainant removing their child from my services. I feel she has not been performing well enough. With her failure to plan for things, lack of enthusiasm, neglect of specific duties, failure to achieve targets and uncaring attitude, I am beginning to become frustrated. However my employee has received a lot of paid training both on- and off-site. Do you have any advice on disciplinary procedures?
A few of my employees are off on long-term sickness. I would like to know if they are entitled to be paid for the holidays they have not taken or whether they are entitled to carry them over. Can you advise me on this?

Smart Contacts: Blood Glucose Monitoring of the Future – Healthagy – Find Clinical Studies for Diabetes, Hypertension and Skin Care.
Since its launch in 1996, Google has brought us Gmail, AdWords, Nexus, and Chrome. And, the company's latest development is "smart" contacts. Really?
It may seem too futuristic to believe, but Google X, the company's tech lab, is working to create a special contact lens that monitors blood glucose levels in diabetics. Typically, diabetic patients prick their fingers and test their blood sugar several times each day using special monitors. But, these contacts would be able to determine blood glucose levels from the tears that naturally lubricate our eyes. The contacts would effortlessly take up to one reading per second. When the levels went too high or too low, the contact's sensors would warn the user with an extremely small LED light that's embedded in the lens.
Of course, this invention is still in the developmental stages. Google reports that it is still testing the miniature glucose monitor, accompanying apps, and other technological components that go into these contact lenses. They've already spoken with the FDA, but Google acknowledges that it may be a long time before the prototype is ready to go into production.
Since medical experts predict that 592 million people will be living with diabetes in 2035, it's no wonder that Google is interested in this potentially lucrative contact lens. Other organizations are working on similar lenses, too. Microsoft actually introduced the idea back in 2011, but one of the main researchers for that project has since moved (and taken the idea with him) to Google. Researchers at Malmö University in Sweden are also working to develop new technology for glucose-monitoring contacts.
Would you wear "smart" contact lenses?

Spend money on local advertising you need, not global advertising you don't.
A lot of our customers are small business owners (in New Jersey and across the U.S.) who want a presence on the web, but realize there is no need to advertise their daily lunch specials to the global community. They may need modest email marketing campaigns, but they don't want to begin expensive Pay Per Click (PPC) campaigns or simply don't know how to market locally on the internet effectively.
Since we have experience defining marketing campaigns at the global level for the big boys, we also know how not to over-reach a local market for the little guy. ITCN can help you target only local website visitors to Google, other search engines, and other online markets so that you aren't paying to advertise your website in another state, let alone another country.

A Former Colleague Asks: At What Cost "Li'l Wayne's War"?
So Li'l Wayne Is at War
In the name of war, Wayne has vanquished enemies, raised friends to highly-paid positions, and bullied students. He has financed his war by stealing state and federal money through financial gyrations that speak to his sophisticated understanding of corruption and its uses.
Given the absolute disregard for policies and procedures, critical to the smooth running of the university on the part of Wayne and his sidekick Miss Angie, and given the similar disregard for state and federal regulations concerning financial aid and grant funding, the university is circling the drain. Enrollment is drastically down, Crowley's lawsuit must be paid, Glenn Meek's lawsuit is in the pipeline as is LaShonda Peebles'. These promise to be expensive.
All in the name of Li'l Wayne's war.
What puzzles me is what he thinks winning looks like? When Wayne slithers off campus after his retirement, what will be left behind? Will it be a university that is a vibrant center of higher education for Chicago's Black population? Will it be a university doing cutting-edge research such as that done by the HIV/AIDs Center? Will there be a group of highly-placed, satisfied graduates who give willingly and often to their Alma Mater? Nope. Sorry—none of that is possible.
What will be left are the smoking remains of a university that has graduated thousands of students who have gone on to happy and productive lives. Rather than serving as a symbol of opportunity to Chicago's school children, the university will be a lifeless shell: decaying classrooms empty of students, demoralized faculty whose work goes unfunded because the IRB* or the grants office has violated federal regulations, lawsuits that may bankrupt the university all together, and students whose dreams have been deferred by the destructive actions of Wayne Watson and his crew.
This is achingly sad to watch. So many professionals at the university who have worked long and hard, decades, to lift the university up now have to watch it being torn down.
So, just who is Wayne at war with? The university? His own disastrous incompetence? Or the students whom he purports to serve? All three? And what is the cost of "winning"?
Robin Benny
* Miss Angie should know something about the role of the IRB, since her "dissertation" alleges that she did "research" using human subjects. But then she was completely unfamiliar with common citation practices, so who knows what she absorbed about the IRB role in her "work."

Dr Leon Carp Award
Applications close 30 November 2022.
Successful applicants will start in early February 2023 for a period of 9-12 months.
Dr Leon Carp award flyer
About the donor
This gift, from the UHG Foundation, is made in honour and recognition of Dr Leon Carp.
Dr Leon Carp graduated medicine at Melbourne University in 1958 and spent his early years at Prince Henry Hospital. He explored a number of medical specialties but was ultimately attracted to the wonderful variety that General Practice offered. He worked in the inner Melbourne suburb of Prahran as the owner of High Street Medical Clinic for almost 60 years where he was revered and loved by his patients.
Leon was the quintessential General Practitioner, looking after families from cradle to grave. Seven days a week Leon would be available for his patients whether it was in his clinic visiting them at home, delivering well over 1000 babies at Margaret Coles maternity wing at the Alfred Hospital, looking after workers in the local factories or doing short anaesthetics for his peers. He retired from clinical practice in 2019 at the age of 85 years.
This award is in honour and recognition of Leon's dedication and service to the community and to the field of General Practice. Through the establishment of the Dr Leon Carp Award Leon will continue to make a meaningful impact on General Practice for many years to come.
As a result of a generous donation to The University of Melbourne, the Department of General Practice is able to offer an annual award to general practitioners interested in undertaking research to advance the practice of primary care through innovation ('research field') and improve health outcomes for patients in Australia.
This award is ideal for general practitioners and general practitioners in training who wish to learn more about undertaking research to drive innovation in primary care practice and policy from a solid evidence base and thereby improve human health.

supporting a general practitioner in training who is undertaking an Australian General Practice Training Program and is supervised or co-supervised by a University of Melbourne academic staff member.
The successful applicant will have access to research infrastructure and specialist research expertise (e.g. biostatistician). Regular research meetings and training are part of the research skill building program. Successful applicants can expect to develop or extend research skills and explore possibilities of further qualifications and potential career options as primary health care researchers.
Research theme areas
Ideally, applicants' proposed area of research should fall within the current research themes of the Department of General Practice as detailed on the website. However, other areas will be considered and can be further discussed with the Director of Research Training and/or the Research Theme Leaders before applying.
The value of these awards range from $15,000 to $18,000 per annum, depending on the level and time commitment required. Payment methods, terms and conditions will be in accordance with University policy and procedure.
General practitioners:
who are research novices or with limited current experience in research; and
with a special interest in developing their research skills; and
with a special interest in contributing to the primary health care evidence base; or
General practitioners currently enrolled in a Master of Primary Health Care or PhD, supervised or co-supervised by a University of Melbourne academic staff member; or

Subject to contrary belief it is possible to maintain a healthy lifestyle on a vegetarian diet. Eating the vegetarian way is not as difficult as you would think and it is quite easy to get all the necessary proteins and amino acids needed.
Amino acids are important because they help to repair body cells. The human body is not able to produce all of the amino acids needed to remain healthy so it is important to make sure you eat foods that contain plenty of nutrients. There are some types of food that include all of the essential amino acids also known as complete proteins and although these traditionally come from meat, fish and poultry they can also be obtained through cheese, eggs and milk.
Tip: Aim to eat 2-3 servings of proteins per day such as one egg or one ounce of cheese.
If you are lacking in amino acids you may begin to suffer from fatigue, nausea and/or anemia. Muscle mass may begin to decline and you could even experience reproductive disorders. If you are struggling to include all of the required amino acids in your diet you should speak to your doctor about supplements.
Proteins are built from amino acids and on a vegetarian diet it is important to get a variety of protein type foods to ensure you are getting a good combination of these amino acids. Protein aids digestion and helps to build up muscle tissue and the immune system.
As we have discovered, food which is high in protein includes eggs and dairy products such as milk, cheese and yoghurt which also provides a good source of calcium and vitamins A and B12. You can also eat other protein foods such as tofu, textured vegetable protein and/or Quorn which is readily available at stores and provides tasty and healthy meal options.
Tip: Whilst it is important to get enough protein in your diet it is essential not to have too much. As with any type of diet plan, balance is the key.
As a vegetarian you should also ensure you are getting plenty of beans, pulses, lentils and peas which are an excellent source of low-fat protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. Each portion counts as one of your 5-a-day too.
Include starchy foods for energy, nutrients and fiber such as potatoes, breads, rice, pasta and cereal. Don't neglect yourself of treats either and allow yourself small portions of fats and sugars contained in salad dressings and desserts.
Many vegetarians struggle to get enough iron in their diet and so should eat plenty of fruit and vegetables like apricots, spinach, olives, broccoli, figs and garlic. There are plenty of other vegetables high in iron and these usually tend to be the leafy, green variety.
Vitamin B12 is important as it helps growth, repair and general health and can be found naturally in eggs and dairy such as milk and cheese.
Tip: Snack on nuts such as peanuts, cashews, almonds and walnuts but because nuts are high in fat don't eat too many per day.
A healthy vegetarian diet doesn't have to be boring. Eat a well-balanced diet and include some treats so you don't get bored whilst still getting all the vitamins, proteins and nutrients needed for healthy living.

Being with Littauer gave Hugo-Vidal a sense of the history of horsemanship and the continuity of the sport. He laments that for some horse professionals, "Littauer is a century away," when in fact his principles of horsemanship were developed in response to the advent of public riding instruction in this country. A man ahead of his sport, Littauer's system still makes it possible for riders to ride safely and effectively in a sport which is increasingly geared toward the amateur horseman and recreational riding, whether that means weekend shows, trailrides or even foxhunting.
According to Hugo-Vidal, an "S" licensed judge in dressage, the forward riding system lends itself to dressage. He relied on Littauer's method to help his first wife and their Thoroughbred stallion earn a berth at the 1956 Olympics. "It sounds like it wouldn't work, but at the highest levels of dressage, you want to achieve the same goals: self-carriage, expression, and willing obedience, instead of drilled submission," he explains.
Hugo-Vidal finds that the courses used at many of today's hunter shows discourage forward riding. "Course designers should create courses that ask the rider to ride out of a rhythm and use their eye," he explains. "You can't have pace if the course is set up to reward mediocrity" through a strict adherence to a calculated number of strides between fences.
The AHSA judge recently addressed this issue in The Chronicle of the Horse. He has successfully adapted his training and teaching to the modern show world, yet it saddens him to see classes like field hunters and hunt teams-once cornerstones of hunter competitions and showcases for the sport-marginalized at the top shows.
"I hate the demise of the outside course, which is partly because of time constraints (it takes longer to ride, so it's less financially rewarding for show management). It taught students to ride off their eye and to find a spot out of rhythm," he states.
Hunt team competition also has its roots in forward riding: "You don't need the fanciest horse, you need precision, and you need to know timing and distance. Hunt team riding teaches discipline and to think about someone besides yourself," Hugo-Vidal concludes. His Cedar Lodge Farm retired the hunt team trophies at both the National Horse Show (in New York) and Devon.
Hugo-Vidal thinks that the "ANRC is one of the horse world's best kept secrets. There were a plethora of lovely horses at the Nationals this year. And that other 30 percent-they were probably from schools that don't teach the forward riding system, but that's up to the coaches," states the judge.


Will call for look-see within the next two weeks.
Joan…I'll contact you via email and we can talk over the phone. My initial questions though – is your locktician experienced and is your hair color treated?
Having a problem with my sisterlocks Phyllis. Converted from dreadlocks to sisterlocks over the summer and notice that my locktician combined many of my sisters locks to save the locks. Now, I have knots and breakage and getting very frustrated. Love natural hair and wanted to go this route because of the problems I've been experiencing with dreadlocks, breakage in the center of my hair. Several years ago, I started my dreadlocks over by cutting all of my locks off and starting with the coil. I've done this process twice, starting over and I want to not have to do this with my sisterlocks. Please help. Thank you.


And what a busy month it's going to be. Miss B is back at school tomorrow, I am returning to work on the 10th, Master M is going to be in home-based childcare, we are doing the final touches in and around the house to get it on the market (hopefully this month) & I am organising two milestone birthdays (Miss B is turning 10 & Master M will be celebrating his 1st Birthday - both birthdays in one weekend), (PHEW!) so I have decided to only blog 3 days a week (as opposed to 5 days). I will still be active on Social Media, so be sure to follow me on Facebook & Instagram.

Remembering Curtis Imrie
May 10, 2017 March 1, 2017 by Mike Rosso
"Curtis was a gift to all who knew him. Populist to the core, a brilliant, principled person who did everything with a true gusto for life."
– Linda Brandon Powers, Former Colorado State Senator, former Crested Butte Mayor and City Councillor
"After his flaming near-death wreck on the Interstate a dozen or so years ago, it was all borrowed time. And Curtis used it well. As he lived it. Keeping on. Fighting the environmental battles. Running each year, as one of the country's premiere burro-racers. Taking on quixotic political campaigns with an unabashedly progressive agenda to help get the word out in the Arkansas watershed that there were candidates who weren't in the pocket of the party bigwigs … We shared a Haight-Ashbury past. City boys who fell in love with the country. I miss that good man."
– Art Goodtimes, poet, former San Miguel County Commissioner

Гавриил Иванович Галлер-Фиони (1798—1854) — статский советник, художник, , , академик Императорской Академии художеств, директор Белостокской гимназии и Виленского дворянского института.

Биография
Гавриил Галлер-Фиони родился в 1798 году. Получив домашнее воспитание, на 13-м году жизни поступил в учебное заведение, где обнаружил способность к живописи. Он занимался ботаникой и составил живописный гербарий. По окончании учёбы в 1816 году поступил чертёжником в Главное управление путей сообщения и публичных зданий.

Затем Галлер-Фиони состоял при строительных комитетах в Москве и в штабе военных поселений, где в 1832 году достиг звания инспектора строительной комиссии.

В 1825 году был приглашен преподавателем механики и рисования в Московское ремесленное учебное заведение и получил место адъюнкта при Московском университете.

В 1834 году, вследствие пожара, уничтожившего значительную часть Лефортово, генерал-губернатор города Москвы князь Дмитрий Владимирович Голицын учредил комитет для постройки новой части, и Галлер-Фиони был назначен членом этого комитета.

В 1835 году, состоя при Московском генерал-губернаторе, был награждён за заслуги бриллиантовым перстнем. В том же году в чине коллежского советника был назначен директором Белостокской гимназии, которую он преобразовал, затем назначен инспектором училищ Белорусского учебного округа и, наконец, директором Дворянского института в Вильно.

В 1842 году Гавриил Иванович Галлер-Фиони был произведён в статские советники и в 1847 году награждён орденом Святой Анны 2-й степени, а в 1849 году — орденом святой Анны 2-й степени, украшенным Императорской короной.

В 1852 году по собственному прошению уволен в почётную отставку с пенсионом.

Его некролог в «Северной пчеле» указывает, что им в Москве изданы по механике переводы с английского, но какие именно — не уточняется.

С 1816 по 1836 год Галлер-Фиони постоянно занимался живописью. В Москве в 1818 году он дважды посвящал Императрице Елизавете Алексеевне картины, изображающие плоды и цветы, за что получил бриллиантовый перстень, и пожелал быть избранным в члены Императорской Академии художеств, которая предложила ему для звания академика написать картину масляными красками на тему, соответствовавшую усмотренным в нем способностям и дарованию к подражанию природе (представить «во внутренности комнаты на мраморном столе в стеклянном сосуде, также на блюде, в корзине или в красивой фарфоровой вазе, разных родов цветы и плоды с различными насекомыми»). В ноябре 1819 года он представил картину «цветы и закуски» и 25 ноября получил звание академика. Картина эта была оставлена на сохранение в Академии.

 при Московском университете.

Гавриил Иванович Галлер-Фиони умер 14 (26) мая 1854 года в городе Санкт-Петербурге и был погребен в Воскресенском монастыре. На его надгробии была выбита следующая надпись, характеризующая его душевные свойства: «Вот имя славное твое в лучах блестит! Так образ твой горит в сердцах, плененных красотой твоей, душой высокой, добротой в твоих делах, чувств, мыслей скромной простотой».

New CT Technology Shows Anorexia Impairs Teen Bone Development
Children and teenagers with even mild cases of anorexia exhibit abnormal bone structure, according to a new study appearing in the December issue of Radiology and to be presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
"Adolescence is the most critical period for growth of bone mass, and the onset of anorexia interferes with that process," said Miriam A. Bredella, M.D., musculoskeletal radiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital and assistant professor of radiology at Harvard Medical School in Boston. "Impairment of bone development may permanently alter bone structure and increase the risk of fractures and osteoporosis in adult life."
Anorexia is an eating disorder characterized by emaciation, distorted body image and intense fear of gaining weight. People with the disorder are obsessed with weight control and often perceive themselves as overweight, even when they are dangerously thin. The disorder primarily occurs among young women and affects one in 100 adolescent girls, according to the National Women's Health Information Center.
Among the many health problems associated with anorexia is bone loss. Typically, dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is used to test bone mineral density in adolescents with anorexia.
Dr. Bredella and colleagues set out to determine if alterations in bone structure occur before significant decreases in bone mineral density become evident. The researchers used high-resolution, flat-panel volume computed tomography (CT) and DXA to study 10 adolescent girls, age 13 to 18, with mild anorexia The new, high-resolution CT exam allowed the researchers to identify differences in bone structure between the patients with anorexia and the healthy controls, whereas bone mineral density measurements obtained using DXA did not.
The results showed that while there was not a significant difference in bone mineral density between the anorexic patients and the healthy control group, there were significant structural differences, indicating that changes in bone structure begin to occur in anorexic patients well before decreases in bone density.
"Our data suggest that reassuring values of bone mineral density obtained using DXA may not reflect the true status of bone structure in this undernourished population," Dr. Bredella said. "In patients with anorexia, bone structure should be analyzed to detect abnormal bone health."
Flat-panel volume CT allows the examination of bone at high resolution with relatively low radiation exposure, making it a suitable technique for evaluation of bone structure in adolescent patients, she said.


AJH SYNTH AJH Synth Finaliser REQ Reverb Equalise Enhance Module (black) vinyl at Juno Records.
Perfect for adding that final touch to a modular patch, the AJHSynth Finaliser R-EQ module includes seven Mono / Stereo reverb types, along with a four band equaliser and a Sonic Maximiser / Enhancer.
The Reverb, EQ and Maximiser can be used in Mono IN, Mono OUT mode or Mono IN, Stereo OUT modes. The reverb alone can also be used in Stereo IN / Stereo OUT mode too.
The fully analogue four band Equaliser includes three parametric equalisers for Low, Low Mid and High Mid ranges, and the High EQ has switchable shelving of either 2kHz or 5kHz. The Low EQ also includes a shelving mode.
The Maximiser is a fully analogue circuit too, with low and high treatment bands which change the phase and amplitude relationships of the sound to add punch and harmonics and really bring the sound to life in the mix.
The Reverb engine is based on 20 year old DSP technology, harking back to the reverb units which were used extensively on many synth and EDM tracks a couple of decades ago. We have added full control of reverb wet / dry mix, either manually or under CV control.


Held six decades ago in Bandung, Indonesia, the 1955 Afro-Asian Conference (also known as the Bandung Conference) was a landmark event in the history of decolonized countries and those aspiring for independence from colonial rule. The Conference was organized by Indonesia, Pakistan, Burma, India and Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and was unique in that there was no official western presence. It was attended by the great leaders of that time: Zhou Enlai and Ho Chi Minh, Nehru, U Nu, Tito, Nasser, Ben Bella among others and seasoned diplomats like Prince Waithayakow of Thailand, Fatin Zorlu of Turkey and Carlos Romulo of the Philippines. For The Pakistan Institute of International Affairs, the Bandung Conference has a very special significance because our founding Secretary, K. Sarwar Hasan, went to Bandung to organize the Conference on behalf of the Government of Pakistan. He recorded his impressions of the Conference in this unpublished paper, Bandung Memories.
Rampaging terrorism and bubbling militancy have menacingly plagued Pakistan since 2001. Parliamentary Secretary of Interior, Mariyam Aurangzeb, explained on 5 December 2014 that more than 50,000 people including army, police, and civilians had lost their lives in the war on terror, and the country had also lost 80 billion US dollars in this war. Before the ongoing military operation Zarb-e-Azb, the government was sincerely immersed in perusing peace talks with the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan's (TTP) leadership but then out of the blue seven gunmen affiliated with the TTP conducted a terrorist attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar on 16 December 2014 killing 145 people, including 132 school children aged between eight and eighteen years.
One of the all time greats of South Asian history spoke at the Pakistan Institute of International Affairs on 24 September 2012. Dr Kamal Hossain is a celebrated international lawyer and human rights activist. He served as Bangladesh's Minister of Law (1972–1973), Minister of Foreign Affairs (1973–1975) and Minister of Petroleum and Minerals (1974–1975).
Dr Hossain struggled for Bangladesh's independence from the captivity of the Pakistan Army: he and Sheikh Mujibur Rahman were released together. Dr Hossain is one of the authors of Bangladesh's constitution and is a legendary Bangladeshi lawyer and politician.
An 18-member delegation of Indian journalists from the Mumbai Press Club visited PIIA on 17 November 2011. They were introduced by B.M. Kutty, a pioneer of peace between Pakistan and India and a member of the Council of PIIA. The women journalists in the delegation did not join us because they were visiting Aurat Foundation, the leading women's empowerment organisation in Pakistan. I am a member of the Board of Governors and Treasurer of Aurat Foundation but was amazed that not only men but also women could subscribe to gender exclusivity! We would have liked to meet the women journalists and hear their impressions about Pakistan.
The U.S. government and its NATO allies have, in recent months, scrambled to mobilize regional and international support to advance stability in Afghanistan following significant international troop withdrawals in 2014. The most recent of these efforts was the Istanbul Conference held in Turkey last week. The meeting was organized to prepare the groundwork for Afghanistan's political, security and economic transition.
At the conclusion of the day-long Istanbul meeting, which included a whole host of regional countries as well as representatives from Europe and the United States, analysts dismissed the conference for 'lacking substance' and having achieved little in terms of a coherent framework for Afghanistan's transition. And yet, despite discouraging reviews, it is worth noting that the conference as well as what followed saw progress on at least a couple of fronts.
First, it appears that a regional and international consensus has emerged with respect to Afghanistan's economic future.

Agile - the new frontier`
Insights from the Agile Conference report.
The theme of this year's annual, two-day Agile Business Conference was organisational change – and how to deal with it in today's ever-evolving business market. Changing customer needs, new technologies and legislation and the pressures of competition are amongst the issues that businesses must address – and fast. Delving more deeply into Agile, the event this year exploded the common misconception that "being Agile" is as simple as adopting Agile principles, emphasising the importance of enacting authentic cultural change to really ingrain Agile within organisations.
The conference is always a hot ticket and this year was no exception, with a wide selection of presenters, including some of the leading figures in the field of Agile. Key speakers, including Dan North, of Dan North Associates with his talk "You Keep Using That Word", Global Eloquence's Bradley Honnor who delivered "Remote Control: The art of leading global teams" and Mike Beaven of the Government Digital Service whose talk was entitled "The Digital Transformation of Public Services", were very engaging and provided great examples of successful Agile implementations, along with field notes on key pitfalls including: the failure to include members of the organisation and the risks of slipping back into waterfall methodologies. In particular, customers recounting their own experiences of utilising Agile with implementation change really resonated well. Andrew Lee, MD at William Hill and Michael Short, COO at Radtac, shared insights into how they have collaborated to adopt Agile at William Hill, and are now rolling it out across the wider corporate structure, employing full-time staff to ensure Agile remains at the core of the development of the William Hill organisation.
The programme of workshops also provided some valuable takeaways on topics, including how to deal with distributed teams. Interactive sessions provided a good change of pace. Particularly interesting were sessions on the challenges posed by managing change and achieving buy-in from organisations, that covered tactics for dealing with different personas within an organisation and the importance of demonstrating to teams what's in it for them.
David J. Anderson raised interesting issues about using personas for analysing user experience, drawing our attention to the ways in which organisations tend to neglect the plurality of users' requirements. Using the example of a pizza delivery service, he described how an individual may have two entirely different sets of requirements based upon their circumstances: using the service to order pizza for the team during a late night in the office, for instance, versus ordering for a Friday night family dinner.
Our very own Matt Cheung's presentation seemed to really connect with the audience. He addressed the challenges associated with scaling Agile across global organisations. Matt made the problem very tangible for the audience and highlighted the importance of the "sunshine path" approach to help produce rapid benefits during delivery. You can view the slides from his presentation here.
Our team also lent a hand with Matt Roadnight's interactive user story-slicing session. The workshop provided attendees with new tools to help them think about splitting user stories by feature and to rationalise their approach, finding the most simple option to then build upon.
The final keynote by Ahmad Fahmy bought the conference to a close rather well, exploring the possible pitfalls of implementing agile in large organisations (particularly in the banking industry). Fahmy focussed upon the crucial importance of hiring the right people and emphasised how organisations can avoid "waterfall creep" by ensuring that they don't simply label the old waterfall structures with Agile names. References to The Matrix and the A-Team drove his points home, making Agile principles tangible and entertaining in equal measure.
As seasoned Agile practitioners, the Smart Tips team were very familiar with many of the tools, techniques and methodologies up for debate. However, the insights shared about organisational cultures, particularly how to go about assessing a business's Agile-readiness – and to bring them quickly up to speed – were fascinating. The main takeaway for us was the crucial role that organisational and personal culture plays in the success of Agile implementations – although, as expected, we concluded that with Agile there's no silver bullet.
Other key takeaways:
Ensure the team works with a shared understanding.
Agile working is a behavioural trait.
Pick the best slice – one that solves a real business problem and where success is achievable.
Cultural change is the most difficult part of Agile delivery and there is never simply one answer.
