Spanish Traditions
Torreada De Torros
When people think of Spain, many think of the controversial tradition known as "torreada de torros" (or in English, "Bullfighting"). The concept of bullfighting is very controversial. After witnessing my first bull fight, I can see why. If you are a bullfighting fan, you know that there are two sides of the stadium, the sunny one and the shady one. The randomly selected seats were unfortunately on the sunny side, yet from that side I was able to see where the bull is caged and where he exits from. Before the bullfight began the "Matadores" were introduced to the audience. I was very surprised at how young these men were, the youngest being 18 years old, which is 2 years younger then me. The Matadores were introduced to the audience with horses, these horses are blindfolded, which is also another controversy. Yet, somehow the horses walk these perfectly straight lines with another Matador in its back. They strategically introduce the six matadores to the audience, from the newest member, to the more experienced member. The best matador of the bunch performs in the end. The bullfight was over after two hours, and during that time six of my friends left, while only three stayed including me. The bulls are as old as five years old, and these bulls are killed slowly and violently in front of the audience. It is hard to watch, and I can understand why people are against the act, but it is a part of the culture that I was prepared to witness. Coming from a family that has owned bulls, rode bulls, and raised with bulls. I was surprised to see that all six of the bulls that were killed in front of me were too young, too malnourished and just plain weak.
Flamenco Nights
Another tradition know to Spain is Flamenco. The rhythm, the sound, the emotions, it's all an art combined in one that portrays a culture in a beautiful way. The history of flamenco is a history of Spain, a tradition that will continue to be known, and the birthplace of flamenco is where I am sitting in while writing this blog, Sevilla. Tickets to attend flamenco shows aren't as modernized, as tickets sold for bullfights. In a way, I enjoyed waiting a long line outside the building to witness this show, these shows take place in a medium sized room that holds about one hundred seats, and those who get there early enough, like us, gets the option to choose the best seats in the house. We were lucky enough to get front row seats that gave us a closer look at the incredible footwork done by the performers. There were three performers, one guy, two girls, all middle aged and older. They are so fit, so rhythmical, and in great shape. Their bodies flow with the movement of the music sung by the three artists in the back, two who are singers, and one who plays the guitar. The performers carefully flow with the music played while holding small instruments like an abanico, they look so prideful and spirited to perform for a crowd of tourists.

Q: Multiple python append functions in while loop crashing Attempting to print a composite list by appending item from three smaller lists in sequence:
def final_xyz_lister():
    global final_xyz_list
    final_xyz_list = []
    step=0
    while step==0:
        final_xyz_list.append(carbon_final_list[step])
        final_xyz_list.append(oxygen_final_list[step])
        final_xyz_list.append(hydrogen_final_list[step])
        step=+1
    while 0 < step < 50:
        final_xyz_list.append(carbon_final_list[step])
        final_xyz_list.append(oxygen_final_list[step])
        final_xyz_list.append(hydrogen_final_list[step])
        step=+1
    else:
        pass

If I comment out the second while loop the first element of the list is printed in a list as expected but introduction of the second while loop results in a MemoryError.

A: There is no need to append the three items in 2 different while loops. It would also be simpler if you used for loops. in this case:
for step in range(0, 50):
    final_xyz_list.append(carbon_final_list[step])
    final_xyz_list.append(oxygen_final_list[step])
    final_xyz_list.append(hydrogen_final_list[step])

Edit: Also, I just noticed the error, you use step =+ 1, which is the same as saying step = +1 or step = 1. This is why you are getting a memory error, you keep defining step as 1, which is between 0 and 50, so the while loop just keeps going. what you probbly wanted to write was step += 1, this increases step by 1 and doesn't set it to 1

Architect's Mechanic's Lien Filed Too Late: Timing Is Everything, Appellate Court Says
Columns/Law
James R. Keller
By JAMES R. KELLER
Missouri's Eastern District Court of Appeals recently decided that an architectural firm filed its mechanic's lien too late. Consequently, the lien was not enforceable.
The case is Bates & Associates, Inc. v. Providence Bank & Vision Ventures, LLC, 2019 WL 4419698, September 17, 2019.
Architects rarely file mechanic's liens in Missouri. Their liens are against real estate.
Architects typically work for real estate owners. Liens tend to compromise such working relationships, both on current matters and future opportunities.
The architectural firm in this case is Bates & Associates Inc., a licensed architectural firm under Missouri law. The original owner of the real estate was Vision Ventures LLC.
Providence Bank became the owner through a non-judicial foreclosure. Bates sued both to enforce its mechanic's lien.
While filing an architect's lien is uncommon, the facts in this case, although somewhat complicated, are not that uncommon for architects and owners on construction projects.
In 2013, Bates entered into a contract with Vision for architectural design and construction services for a senior care facility. The project was located at 17655 Wild Horse Creek Road in Chesterfield.
Financing was involved to make the project a reality. There was an initial loan secured by a deed of trust for $2.48 million in 2008. An additional promissory note secured a modification to the deed of trust for an additional $1.37 million.
Vision defaulted on the loan and note by failing to make all of the payments when due. Vision also filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 2015, listing Bates as an unsecured creditor.
Bates filed its lien on July 15, 2015 for the work performed for Vision. By doing this, Bates obviously hoped to become a secured creditor in the bankruptcy estate.
Under Missouri law, a mechanic's lien relates back to the first day of work, regardless of when the lien was filed – provided it was timely filed. This can provide a potential priority when there are several secured creditors.
Two days later, the non-judicial foreclosure took place. Providence obtained title to the property.
Bates filed a three-count petition against Vision and Providence. In Count II, the mechanic's lien count, Bates sought $305,279 against both, asserting its lien was superior to Providence's interest in the property.
Bates sued Vision in Counts I and III for breach of contract or in the alternative quantum meruit (for services rendered where there is no specific contract).
After a bench trial, the trial court awarded Bates $276,000 on its breach of contract claim. Expressly finding there was a contract, the court denied the claim for quantum meruit. Under Missouri law you can recover for one or the other, but not both.
The trial court also denied Bates' claim to enforce its mechanic's lien and granted Providence's counterclaim to quiet title to the property. This gave Providence ownership over Bates.
The trial court concluded that the architectural services were not directly connected to any construction or other improvements to the property. It also concluded that Bates did not timely file its lien.
The appellate court focused on the timing issue.
What makes the facts of this case somewhat common is that the architect performed design services under an original 2013 contract. Then Bates did work later that it alleges was pursuant to this original contract. Architects often find themselves in this situation. If Bates was correct, its lien could have applied to all the work it did from the first day of work until the last.
The reason the timing is important is because a mechanic's lien under Missouri law must be filed within six months of the last day of work performed by that party. Missouri law affords no grace period. A lien filed one day too late is the same as a lien filed one year too late.
Under the original contract, Bates' last day of work was July 7, 2014. A lien for that work expired on January 7, 2015. Bates filed its lien on July 15, 2015.
Bates claimed that it performed additional work between January and March 2015 and this work was an extension of the original contract. Bates' timesheets showed internal meetings about the project. In February 2015, Bates sent Vision a proposed contract for additional services in the amount of $70,000.
Bates' proposal included removing kitchens from the second-floor apartments and a redesign on each floor to reduce overall square footage. This work did not advance beyond discussions in meetings.
There was a fact dispute as to whether Vision agreed to the additional services. Appellate courts defer to the trial court's determination of fact questions. The trial court found there was an agreement for the original work, but it is unclear if the court's judgment included any of the later work under the breach of contract claim.
Appellate courts decide for themselves legal questions. In this case, the legal question on appeal was whether the work from January through March 2015 was in accordance with the original 2013 contract and thus lienable according to Section 429.015 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri.
The contract between Bates and Vision required that any additional changes to the original scope of Bates' work required written authorization. In this case, there was no written authorization.
The appellate court concluded for this reason alone, the later work was not within the original scope of the contract and thus not lienable.
In addition, the Eastern District also concluded that the additional work to develop and communicate its proposal was not necessary to complete the original contract. The drafting of a proposal for additional services, according to the court, did not constitute a lienable improvement upon the land.
The court concluded that a "proposal for a contract for additional services is not the same as a partial or complete set of designs."

Roberto Merino Rojo (Santiago,  14 de noviembre de 1961) es un escritor y periodista chileno.

Biografía
Estudió en el  Instituto Nacional y, después de terminar la educación secundaria, siguió Literatura en la Universidad de Chile, donde se graduó con una tesis sobre la obra del poeta Juan Luis Martínez.

Ha trabajado en las revistas Apsi, Don Balón (donde escribía crónicas deportivas), Fibra, Paula, Hoy; ha sido editor de Patagonia, el diario El Metropolitano; cronista de Las Últimas Noticias y El Mercurio. Fundó la editorial Carlos Porter, que publicó, entre otros, a Claudio Bertoni, compiló la Antología del humor literario chileno (2002, Sudamericana) y editó las columnas y crónicas completas de Joaquín Edwards Bello. Es profesor en la Facultad de Comunicación y Letras de la Universidad Diego Portales.

Desde 2014 es parte del grupo de rock Ya se Fueron, en el que él es el más viejo y su hijo Clemente el más joven. Preguntado con qué experiencia se quedaría, más con la de la música que con la de la escritura, contestó en marzo de 2015: "Si se pudiera, sí, pero es una respuesta que doy en este momento. Es el entusiasmo más nuevo. Me encantaría. La música tiene la fascinación de la confluencia, de lo colectivo. Que es totalmente lo opuesto a la soledad de la escritura. Uno termina relajado, físicamente muy bien. Y escribir es horrendo. Uno termina tenso, con la espalda hecha mierda. Es totalmente antinatural desde el punto de vista físico".

Padre de dos hijos y separado, vive en el barrio Providencia, donde frecuenta el café Tavelli. Sobre su imagen, comenta: "A veces no sé si este aspecto tiene que ver con el hippismo tardío de los años 70 o con cierta pomposidad decimonónica. Tengo barba desde los dieciséis años, ya no quiero afeitarme: no quiero saber qué cara voy a encontrar debajo".

Trayectoria literaria

Roberto Merino ingresó en la literatura chilena a finales de los años 1980 como poeta, pero su fama se la debe principalmente a sus crónicas.

Su decisión de convertirse en escritor la tomó de adolescente, "a los 16". "Fue una decisión explícita. Pensaba que sólo servía para eso y ya estaba viviendo como escritor, ya pensaba como escritor. No hubo ni siquiera titubeos, a pesar de las aprensiones familiares por mi futuro económico, totalmente razonables", confesaba Merino en 2014.

Su primer poema lo escribió a los seis años. "Y después a los nueve, a los 11 y a los 14".

En 1981, a Rodrigo Lira se le ocurrió formar Chamico, y uno de sus integrantes fue Merino, quien lo define como "grupo de choque literario, bastante patagüino e inorgánico", "parodia de la Mandrágora surrealista"; "en el fondo, no era más que un chiste que duró unos cuantos meses". Merino explica que "el chamico es un hierbajo tóxico al que le hacen asco las vacas y también se le llamaba así a la marihuana de mala calidad". Miembros flotantes del grupo fueron Antonio de la Fuente, Perico Cordovez, Alejandro Pérez, Juan Pedro Broussein, Lira y Merino.

El primer libro que publicó Merino fue Trasmigración, que "Enrique Lihn describiría como "un libro de poesía escrito en prosa antiprosaica"; diez años más tarde saldría su segundo poemario, Melancolía artificial, pero entre ellos, a partir del comienzo de la década de 1990, le renace la veta de cronista, un género que practicó por primera vez a los 13 años, en 1974.

Ese año, para el Sudamericano de Atletismo, se unió a los ciclistas que seguían a los maratonistas y cuando regresó a su casa, "tomó un cuaderno y escribió lo que había vivido. Su primera crónica. Merino olvidaría el género" hasta que, 15 años después, la revista Hoy le pidió que escribiera sobre la ciudad. Desde entonces se le conoce especialmente como cronista, aunque él no se sienta como tal y "especialista en Santiago, menos", por más que haya publicado varios libros sobre la capital chilena con más de 160 crónicas.

"No tengo talento ni paciencia para eso", afirma
Merino al explicar por qué no escribe ficción. En cuanto a la poesía, confesaba en diciembre de 2013: "No escribo poesía hace tiempo. No he sentido la necesidad. No he tenido la oportunidad. Llevo una vida acelerada que cada vez me deja menos distancia para mirar el mundo".

Finally after three decades of waiting Intrada has issued a fantastic disc of the soundtrack to the film "The Mountain Men" which starred Charlton Heston and Brian Kieth. The film was a throwback to the old fashioned westerns of the 1950's but with lots of violence, cursing and sometimes raunchy humor. The film was more a serious telling of life for this small generation of men in the same vein as "Jeremiah Johnson". The original poster art was an almost cartoonish piece that showed the two main characters running from unseen Indians as arrows fly past them.
Directed by Frasier Clark Heston, Charlton's son the film was pretty much a box office failure. Beautifully filmed on location in Grand Teton National Park the film had a magnificent score my Michel Legrand. I think it's one of his very finest along with "The Other Side of Midnight" and "Ode to Billy Joe". I saw the film in theaters at the time and liked it but I loved the score. I searched for months to see if a soundtrack album was released and it never was. Now this fantastic stereo mixdown made from the original six track masters in the Columbia Pictures vaults is here. The sound is some of the clearest I have heard of any score recorded at that time and you can hear every instrument. Enjoy it.
The file includes scans of the CD artwork.
Soundtracker2010 was this your rip?
Thanks for this upload. It was ripped at 160K.
Yes Scoreman44 it was and honestly it sounds great, I asked because if it's his rip than a VBR-0 rip would be in order.
Thanks Soundtracker2010 the third time is certainly the charm with you!
It does sound good for 160K. Maybe Bound For Glory will show up soon.
Honestly it sounds fine as it is leave it as is I doubt FLAC would sound any better to my ears.
I ordered it but have not received it yet.
If anyone can tell me how to upload an image to my posts I would appreciate it. I have tried the add images button and nothing works.
Ok, I got it. I suppose my old ears really can't tell much of a difference nor would I even know how to do it at 320. All I did was drop it in made a file and compressed and uploaded.
You're killing me! How did you do that? I want to add art to my other posts.
I second the request, can someone be kind enough to teach us how to add attachments?, I just keep getting an error message every time that I tried, thank you so much for your replies.
Great share, I think Legrand´s only entry in the western genre, thank you Sountracker.
Thanks for the info. I added it to the top of the post. Do you know how I can upload an image to the top of the post. I am frustrated as hell trying to add one.
Well, it's better than nothing. I would prefer lossless but beggars can't be . . . you know the rest. At least we can hear the whole score and not just samples. It's good way to hear if you want to buy this CD or not.
Hey....at 160 ....I have it at 128...if you want...Don't Kill OST !!
Sorry for Yesterday, scoreman44....I was totally drunk...I did not mean what I say !!!
Brand new link in original post. Let me know how you like it. I think it's one of Legrand's very best.
Thanks for the share. A great score to probably an underated film (I've never seen it). Again many thanks for this gem.
Thank you for this incredible movie score,Soundtracker!
IMHO far more enjoyable than the film itself.

Sometimes a random search can take you to unexpected places. For me it began a few months ago when I was asked to conduct a post-sale training session with a group of students at a university in Japan. I was told beforehand that the students were studying American History, including African Americans and other minorities, and I was asked to prepare an example that would match their interests.

"In the spring of 1978, Taito approached Midway about distributing a new arcade game in the United States. The game had originally been invented as a hexadecimal test used for evaluating computer programmers. Someone decided to convert the test into a video game that Taito distributed in Japan, despite the unenthusiastic blessing of company executives. The game was called Space Invaders."

"History is not just a matter of dates. What makes history is what comes before and what comes after the dates that we all remember." Chris Patten.
It will have been exactly twenty years, this coming weekend, since Chris Patten, the 28th and last British Governor of Hong Kong, gave his memorable speech at the ceremony marking the handover of the former British colony to China. Perhaps there was a tacit acknowledgment in Patten's words that, actually, the Hong Kong handover was all about dates. Were it not for the clock ticking on the 99-year lease deadline for the New Territories, it is doubtful that the handover would have been negotiated as speedily and peacefully as it was.

The Paris International Exposition of 1867
June 22, 2018 April 13, 2017 by Masaki Morisawa
In the December 21, 1867 issue of the Illustrated London News there appears a striking full-length portrait of a samurai. He is neatly dressed in formal kimono, his left hand holding a sword and his right hand resting on a stool, calmly gazing towards the viewer. Something is odd about this picture, however: the sword looks too large for his body, his forehead too high, and his entire stature seems rather diminutive, even for a Japanese.

lack of eSATA is completely inexcusable. essentially without the cable its not really a usable feature.
I suppose it's a default assumption that eSATA capable machines already ship with eSATA cables. Looks good, though. Sounds like the drive's activity indicators won't light your room up like fireworks when you're sleeping at night, which is what my external drive does.
Sounds like the drive's activity indicators won't light your room up like fireworks when you're sleeping at night, which is what my external drive does.
The majority of these external drives should be passively cooled and vented, if that's what you're speaking on. For me, my external drive only makes a mild chirp when spooling up to write/read data. Otherwise, my laptop's inaudible fan is louder than the drive in full operation.
I just put Yu-Gi-Oh cards over the drive's annoying lights to mask it's magic show overnight.
Looks like a good drive. I prefer to just buy an enclosure and put my own drive i it. At least you get something that looks good and most of the time it is cheaper.
i bought a 500g version of one of these for my old man to back up his photos (professional photographer) and the software is awesome. I just mapped his pc's documents folder and now all i do is turn on the free agent which is hooked up to my pc and in syncs with the pc downstairs and adds any new/edited files almost instantaneously,i'm well impressed with it! As for noise, you really cant hear it as its in an enclowed alu shell.
That enclosure is horrible,looks more like a breadbin!
Lack of Gbit Ethernet (or any at all) ruins it for me I'm afraid.
Well, you're looking for something more along the lines of a NAS enclosure, then, I'd guess, instead of a simple external HDD.
How is this in any sense "stylish"?
Clean lines, smooth finish, functional and with a good looking backlit front fascia - seems stylish enough to me. As external drives go, you can do a lot, LOT worse in the aesthetics dept.
Any suggestions of a better looking drive rather than just finger pointing?
That's only matter of taste. Nothing else. Either you like it's design or not.
Potentially a stupid question, but if this were to be connected via the wonderful Linksys NSLU2 as a networked hard drive (so that I can use it to download tv torrents without leaving my PC on) would the backup software still work to allow my mum to backup her photos etc?

It's been a while since we last talked about boots. Let's make that right! Last I told you I wanted a pair of boots, it was a pair of nicely polished Chelsea boots. This time as well. Only with a nice little enhancement: bootstraps.
Which are the closes I can get to buckles. On Chelsea boots. Naturally, I went for a nice dark chocolate brown, (I rarely fall for black boots – I just think they lack appeal and…well.. life) Stuart Weitzman Bootstraps. Last I heard, they were available online with a $300 price tag (at zappos). Don't they look nice?


Blutul Bianco Vermouth is made from alcohol-free white wine and a white grape must, complemented with a high-quality extract of herbs to make a great alcohol-free vermouth. The taste is soft, light sweet and pleasantly bitter because of the wormwood herbs that complement this drink. A great mixer to create your favourite mocktail or to serve beside a cup of coffee or tea.

We can build a new radiator core for your engine whether it is on an excavator, generator, skidder or whatever it is we can build it.
Our radiator cores are better for the following reasons.
We use arsenical brass for our fins this does not corrode like copper and is much more resistant to fin damage.
We use thick wall AMERICAN MADE seamless radiator tube, burst pressure certified to 1200psi.
Every large radiator comes with thick sub-plates in the corners to increase the life and strength of the core.Full sub-plates can be ordered at an extra cost.
Our design uses flexible header plate design to allow cores to expand with the heat, this reduces cracking at the tube to header plate joint.
Our header plate joints are fully dipped into a bath of molten solder to ensure the strongest joints.
Our flat fin cores only have ridges on the fins to increase heat transfer but allow most dirt to flow through the core, reducing blockage and the chance of overheating.
The CT or Z fin has louvers in the fin to give much higher performance when it is required.

Harrisburg Highlights Willow's Winning Strength (Views: 3831)
By: Taylor Joyce
Kent Farrington and Willow soared to the top of the Big Jump class at the Pennsylvania National. Photo by Al Cook Photography
Harrisburg, Pa.—Oct. 16
Top show jumper Kent Farrington had a choice to make when considering a mount for the $40,000 Pennsylvania Big Jump class at the Pennsylvania National. He'd had solid results on Blue Angel and Voyeur all summer, but as he counted down the weeks to Harrisburg, his choice of mount for the tight indoor arena was clear and simple: Willow.
And when they put in the fastest round on Michel Vaillancourt's technical track, his decision was validated.
"I think he really shines indoors," said Farrington, 33. "He's incredibly fast, he has excellent balance and he can really roll in short to all the jumps. It really plays to his strengths to be inside.
"He's a little bit of a spooky horse, which I'm sure you can see," he continued. "When he enters the arena, he's quite strong and that's just the way the horse goes. He has sort of an attacking canter and a lot of energy and it takes a little bit of strength to contain him, but he's a real competitor and he is naturally fast, so that's a huge advantage in the jump-offs. He's a real winner."
He and the grey gelding owned by Amalaya Investments partnered up last fall and took second in the PA Big Jump, then went on to place second in the Great American $1 Million Grand Prix (Fla.) in March, also earning some ribbons at the Winter Equestrian Festival (Fla.). But this summer Farrington's focus shifted to other horses, especailly his Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games (France) mount, Voyeur.
Willow's spookiness was only intensified by a bit of a summer vacation. So how'd they win?
"I think he's gotten more confident the better he knows me," said Farrington, of Wellington, Fla. "And we have a more solidified partnership as time has gone on. It wasn't a huge jump-off field, and we still have our bigger class [the Grand Prix de Penn National], so I just tried to measure the horse.
"He's very naturally quick on his own, so it was more just trying to have a smooth round and not take too much out of him," he added. "Hopefully we leave some gas in the tank for Saturday."
Where others lost time to the clock, the 11-year-old Dutch Warmblood jumped effortlessly, edging out second-placed Beezie Madden on Simon and third-placed Ali Wolff on Casall.
As for the show jumping star's training program at home to prepare for their performance, it's all about fitness.
"I try to train them like any other professional athlete—I think having them being overly fit for the job is going to help," said Farrington. "And then being competitive and maintaining their soundness. I'd say that's the No. 1 part of my program, and the rest is sort of catered specifically to what event is coming up. Maybe if I struggled the last week, I'll work on an exercise that the horse is struggling with, or if he's going great and doesn't really need anything, I'll go a little bit easier on him and sort of let him roll on to the next show, save his jumps."
Willow will head to the National Horse Show (Ky.) next, then Europe to compete.
Madden was consistent and conservative for second place on Simon.
"I wanted to practice a little bit in the beginning," she said. "Like in the beginning, I tried to do the right number [of strides from fences] 1 to 2 and some very neat turns, but then I didn't want to race at the end because he can get a little strong on me. Saturday night is important for me. I haven't done any World Cup qualifiers yet, so I have zero points."

Geschichte
Air Côte d'Ivoire wurde 2011 als Nachfolgegesellschaft der Air Ivoire gegründet. Die Gesellschaft wurde mit Hilfe der Air France aufgebaut, daher besteht die Flotte größtenteils aus ehemaligen Flugzeugen der Air France und deren Tochtergesellschaft Hop!. Die Inhaber der Gesellschaft sind der Staat mit 65 %, Air France-KLM mit 20 % und Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development mit 15 %.

Im April 2016 wurde bekannt, dass Air Côte d'Ivoire als erste afrikanische Fluggesellschaft zwei neue Airbus A320neo bestellt hat.

Im Juli 2020 erhielt die Fluggesellschaft 24 Millionen US-Dollar der Regierung um den Flugbetrieb aufrechterhalten zu können. Air Côte d'Ivoire kam aufgrund der COVID-19-Pandemie in finanzielle Schwierigkeiten.

Flugziele
Air Côte d'Ivoire fliegt von Abidjan neben nationalen Destinationen Ziele in West- und Zentralafrika an.

A positive employee experience is more than just a decent place to work. We recently attended an HR conference to see what factors people need for a great employee experience. Here's what the people had to say.
We recently visited an HR Conference in Vancouver, which was a thought-provoking and rewarding experience, not to mention highly convenient for us because the JostlePlex is located in Vancouver (yes, it's currently raining).
While we were there, we decided to run a little experiment. We asked conference attendees who stopped by our booth to tell us what employee experience means to them. More specifically, what makes a great employee experience? We gave them some sticky-notes and let them loose.
Pretty soon our booth was covered in bright neon sticky-notes. The answers were interesting, but perhaps not very surprising. Except of course one attendee who told us a great employee experience involved "on-site massages". That was surprising.
Among the dozens of responses we received there were only a couple repeats. They were "Acknowledgment" (2) and "Great leaders" (2), which makes sense because recognition (or lack thereof) and quality of leadership have a huge impact on how people perceive their organization and their roles within it.
A culture where managers and peers are consistently recognizing each other in a frequent and meaningful way gives people a greater sense of purpose which can positively impact their employee experience.
Psychological safety makes us feel valued, accepted, and connected with the people we work with.
A positive employee experience in most cases requires a little more than showing up to work at 9, finishing your tasks, leaving at 5, and getting paid. Ideally workplaces have more to offer, like learning and development opportunities.
People love to learn, after all. We want to get better at what we do, learn new tricks, and ultimately progress in our careers. And that's why a great employee experience includes having the opportunity to grow. Creating a culture focused on learning and development can mean holding regular lunch-and-learns, giving people an annual learning stipend, creating an in-depth education program for future leaders, or all of the above.
Couldn't agree more with this one. I've written before about why an employee experience can't be completely mapped out for people by their employer; however, the more an employer focuses on what's best for their people, the greater each employee's experience will be.
This doesn't mean paying lip service in internal communications, but actively committing to creating a people-centric workplace. What do they want? What do they care about? What matters most to them? By catering to your people's needs and, more importantly, actually caring for them, you're not only creating a positive experience, you're strengthening their commitment to each other and giving them a shared purpose.
This one's interesting because it could be taken a few different ways: autonomy to work independently without being interrupted or micro-managed, autonomy to choose to work on the projects that matter most to us, or maybe the freedom to figure out on our own what the company's values are. Whichever way you cut it, though, autonomy seems like an important ingredient in creating a great employee experience.
We've written before about why people crave a flexible working environment and a better work-life balance, but honestly, it's kind of a no-brainer, isn't it? Our employee experience isn't only impacted by our experiences at work; it's also about how much our work affects us when we're not at work. A more balanced schedule that takes into account everything else we're doing in our busy lives, outside of our daily work, is the ticket to a more satisfied, less stressed workforce.
I'll end with another interesting answer that we all quite liked. The most successful organizations operate not as a family but as a community. Every person and department plays a role in sustaining their community: in their work, but also in the ways they engage with and contribute to their company culture. A great employee experience is the result of people who are able to come together and help each other out, offer support, and collaborate in meaningful, productive ways.
It was a lot of fun to attend this conference and learn from presenters and attendees what makes a great employee experience. Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Jostle booth and submitted such thought-provoking, interesting answers. You made this article possible! And yes, we're still thinking about how on-site massages might be a good addition to the JostlePlex.


Still Life reimagines the genre in a contemporary context, through the vastly different practices of botanical illustrator Sarah Jane Lightfoot and ceramicist Georgina Proud. This exhibition continues on the long tradition of reinvention of the genre questioning the common perception of it as a lower form of art. Through this collaboration they explore humanity's innate affinity with the natural world, and how we endeavour to bring nature into our homes. Still Life considers the notion that the vessel and arrangement depicted in an image is as much a work of art as the image itself.

How to boost math skills in the early grades
Early math skills, though critical to academic success, get far less attention than literacy in high-poverty classrooms. One Illinois school district is working to change that.
by Sarah Gonser July 9, 2018 March 30, 2020
Small-group math work at Prairie Oak Elementary in Berwyn North School District 98 where, two years ago, just 14 percent of third-graders were able to do grade-level math. Credit: Sarah Gonser for The Hechinger Report
This story about early math instruction is part of a series about innovative practices in the core subjects in the early grades. Read about reading, science and social studies.
This story also appeared in Chalkbeat and Mind/Shift
BERWYN, Ill. — In the last decade, educators have focused on boosting literacy skills among low-income kids in the hope that all children will read well by third grade. But the early-grade math skills of these same low-income children have not received equal attention. Researchers say many high-poverty kindergarten classrooms don't teach enough math and the few lessons on the subject are often too basic. While instruction may challenge kids with no previous exposure to math, it is often not engaging enough for the growing number of kindergarteners with some math skills.
During the last school year, only 40 percent of fourth-graders nationwide scored at a proficient level in a nationwide math assessment. Even more alarming, just 26 percent of Hispanic students and 19 percent of African-American children tested proficient in fourth-grade math. That is significant because strong math skills are needed for some of the fastest growing jobs of the next decade and are requirements for many of the highest paying jobs. Understanding and being able to work with numbers "is a fundamental skill for success in almost any occupation you might choose," said economist Greg J. Duncan of the University of California Irvine's School of Education, whose research examines child poverty and education. "It leads to the analytic, higher-level thinking that's increasingly important."
One district that is steadily ratcheting up its achievement levels, with a focus this year on mathematics, is located in a small Chicago suburb. Two years ago, just 14 percent of third-graders in Berwyn North School District 98 — a high-poverty, mostly Hispanic school district about 30 minutes from downtown Chicago — were able to do grade-level math. That was the district's first year taking the PARCC assessment, a college- and career-readiness test mandated by the state of Illinois, and the results were dismal, though not exactly surprising. "When we started here in 2012, our district was the lowest performing in math and reading of all the schools that feed into Morton West High School," said Carmen Ayala, Berwyn North School District 98's superintendent.
"We needed to change how we're teaching math, especially for our English-learners, so that we were paying attention to language development and communication skills."
Ayala, the district's first woman and first Latina in the top spot, rolled up her sleeves. "Turning this around isn't something you can do during a couple of workshops," said Ayala. "For us, the focus had to be on equity because our district is 96 percent children of color, but 90 percent of our teaching staff is white. It's not just about teachers teaching. It's how we recruit, how we use resources, how we conduct business in the district."
Although Illinois adopted Common Core standards in 2010, Berwyn North, a kindergarten through eighth-grade district with 3,084 students, had not yet incorporated the standards when Ayala and her new assistant superintendent, Amy Zaher, were hired in 2012. "When I started, the consistent word was how inconsistent we were," said Ayala.
Ayala and Zaher created a set of goals for fixing Berwyn North that included an entirely new, district-wide Common Core standards-based curriculum that aligned through each grade, fixing the district's special education inclusion program, upgrading programs for English learners and better integrating technology into schools and classrooms.
These goals still guide the district today. "We've become laser-focused on these areas in order to really bring up the achievement levels," said Ayala.

In a district where almost 30 percent of the students are learning English, these goals have meant a radical change in how math is taught in the early grades. Ayala said that before she took over, math lessons were basically one-size-fits-all, making it especially difficult for kids learning English to absorb what was being taught. "We needed to change how we're teaching math, especially for our English-learners, so that we were paying attention to language development and communication skills — how our teachers are helping our students express themselves and connect their experiences with what they were learning," said Ayala.
This connected closely to the common core mandate that children learn to discuss their thinking about math problems, and to approach problem-solving in a variety of ways, rather than simply producing the correct answer. One way the district is applying this standard is via "number talks," a math practice that encourages students to discuss and critique math solutions, helping kids develop into flexible and creative mathematical thinkers.

On a recent spring day, Maritza Cleary's third-grade class at the district's Prairie Oak Elementary School tackled math pictographs. Children sat together in small groups at tables and on the floor with large sheets of paper and markers spread out between them. Cleary was not the only adult in the room: Four adults — teachers and administrators from the district there to observe Prairie Oak teachers at work — meandered between the groups, scrawling notes onto clipboards, sometimes kneeling beside the children to listen as they worked out the problem.
A pictograph query, a way of showing information using images, was projected onto a whiteboard at the front of the class:
"Mrs. Cleary is having a last-day-of-school ice cream party for her third grade class. She did a survey to find out what flavor each student preferred. There were 10 votes for chocolate, eight votes for vanilla, four votes for strawberry, and three votes for coconut. Use the information from the survey to create a pictograph that shows the preferred ice cream flavors. Create an ice cream symbol for your pictograph that represents two students."
"Parents focus on reading to their child much more than they do on math skills. We've not been very successful so far in convincing parents — as we have with reading — to 'count with your child.'"
Students quietly discussed possible solutions, and sketched out ideas on small dry-erase boards before drawing their solutions on the poster-size sheets of paper. Cleary pulled a chair close to a group, listening intently as her students debated the ideal ice cream cone data layout strategy — an opportunity to flex their math skills and, in the process, become stronger communicators and mathematicians.
Shortly after this classroom visit, 30 teachers and administrators who had spent the day visiting the school's classrooms — including the four adults who observed Cleary's class — sipped coffee and nibbled pastries in a windowless conference room in the basement of the school. It was the second and final instructional round of the school year at Prairie Oak (the first was last fall). Instructional rounds, modeled after medical rounds, are an opportunity for educators to observe classroom instruction, and then address problems together in an effort to improve their teaching. This year, the district's instructional rounds focused on the quality and depth of math instruction.
At this Prairie Oak session, educators looked for improvements on math-related issues identified last fall during the school's first instructional round. Were teachers working more closely with instructional coaches? Were lessons rigorous enough? Was classroom management stronger? Were students willing to take risks? In a post-rounds wrap-up session, teachers and administrators discussed positive growth, including greater student participation and more productive math talks between students. The group also noted areas requiring improvement: Teachers needed to use classroom wall space to better promote mathematical thinking, for example, and they needed to step back more frequently to allow students to work out their own creative solutions.

Instructional rounds, first brought to the district by Assistant Superintendent Zaher, who learned the practice at her previous job as a Chicago Public Schools administrator, are clearly an effort to unite a formerly disjointed, low-achieving school district around a common vision — 100 percent of students meeting high academic standards — and, importantly, to adopt a cohesive curriculum, connected grade-to-grade and school-to-school.
Related: Why very young children can — and should — learn math
That push for a common, connected curriculum also includes what happens before, and during, kindergarten. Until recently, researchers believed that instilling strong foundational math skills before children enter kindergarten was the best predictor of success in school and life. For those children who missed out on a quality preschool experience, especially poor children of color, catching up in the elementary years was considered unlikely. Today, this thinking is evolving, putting into question just how permanent the advantage may be for children who benefit from rich math curriculums in high-quality preschools. The reason: The early-math boost tends to fade out once children enter elementary school classrooms where teachers often focus on helping students who did not benefit from preschool prep, neglecting to teach more advanced skills to the advanced learners.
Last year, 40 percent of fourth-graders nationwide scored at a proficient level in a nationwide math assessment. Only 26 percent of Hispanic students and 19 percent of African-American children tested proficient in fourth-grade math.
Last year, 43 states, plus Washington, D.C. and Guam, poured $7.6 billion into publicly funded preschool. In the past few years, researchers have begun exploring how to take advantage of that powerful preschool bump, especially in math, while also ensuring students who didn't go to preschool could catch up. One of the biggest roadblocks, experts say, is the disconnect between preschool and elementary school math curriculums.
UC Irvine's Duncan, co-author of a seminal study linking early math and reading skills with later academic success, noted that recent research using strong math curriculums in preschool or Head Start programs showed it is possible to level the math-skills playing field among low-income and middle-class children in the early grades.
The weak spot occurs once kids enter elementary school and kindergarten teachers become absorbed with teaching students who don't yet know their numbers. "There's really not much point [to high-quality preschool] if we don't work on this task of aligning kindergarten and first-grade classrooms — setting them up to take advantage of the skills built up in the preschool year," said Duncan. "If most children benefit from preschool or Head Start before heading to [a] kindergarten where teachers are skilled, and coached and supported to build on those gains, then you've got a situation for low-income kids that's on par with middle- or upper-middle-class kids who come into kindergarten knowing their letters and numbers and teachers just take off from there."
Another neglected area contributing to the national math achievement gap, is the lack of math emphasis at home. "Parents focus on reading to their child much more than they do on math skills. We've not been very successful so far in convincing parents — as we have with reading — to 'count with your child', " noted Deborah Stipek of the Stanford Graduate School of Education.
In Berwyn North District 98, math scores are steadily creeping upward. Last year, 33 percent of Hispanic third-graders met or exceeded math grade-level expectations on the PARCC test — nearly double the percentage from 2015. Berwyn North recently turned another stat on its head: Of the four districts that feed into the local high school, Berwyn went from dead-last to leading the pack in both math and reading achievement.

House Tourism Committee Chair and Bohol Representative Edgar M. Chatto shifted into gear a mechanism that would avert a potential disaster in Bohol and the national tourism efforts.
A few weeks ago, the Regional Office of the Land Transportation Office (LTO) through its flying squad conducted lightning spot-checks on tour vans serving tourists in Bohol. The move is to put on the heat in the government's crackdown on colorum van operators competing with legitimate tour operators here.
In the crackdown however, colorum van operators cried foul as they alleged that they are in fact willing and have initiated moves to get tourist franchise for their fleet only to be turned down by the Land Transport Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) in the absence of a Department of Tourism (DOT) endorsement.
DOT however has accordingly suspended the granting of franchise endorsements as per memorandum circular from the DOT Central Office.
Faced with no option while risking the impounding of van units operating sans a tourist franchise, local transport providers have aired their intent to stop running the famed Bohol countryside tours until they can get their franchises.
The issue becomes a complicated matter as in Bohol, only very few units have valid franchises those that have are either cars or old units previously bought with franchises, says transport fleet operator who was turned down by the LTFRB regional office.
Reports have surfaced that the local LTO has already impounded tour vans caught operating without a valid franchise.
The same reports bared that an impounded van could only be released as soon as the operator can show a franchise.
"How could we get one when the regional offices have suspended releasing them?" the operator who asked not to be names asked.
The prospect of tour transport providers stopping services for a day could deal a devastating blow into the Bohol tourism promotion efforts, Chatto said during an exclusive interview in Quezon City Friday.
With the obtaining situation, the young legislator burned his phone lines to contact DOT Regional Director Dawnie Roa, DOT secretary Ace Durano to call for a meeting tomorrow to resolve the issue.
Chatto said it was his first time to hear about the problem and also learned that the DOT sec. Durano was only appraised of the situation when he called.
Asked for possible intervention, he said he is going to work out a way where the DOT could talk about the fact that it indeed has suspended the granting of franchises nationwide.
"We hope to find the reason why the DOT has suspended the franchises, and there must be some reasons for their doing so," he said.
After the meeting on Monday, Rep. Chatto said he is confident they can work a way with the regional DOT to find a long term solution to the issue.
DOT Dir. Roa told Chatto that there are also accredited tour operators with valid franchises in Bohol, but admitted their vans may not be enough to cater to all the guests arriving to tour around Bohol.
"From Monday meeting's outcome, we can then coordinate with DOT to meet with Department of Transportation and Communication Secretary Leandro Mondoza to resolve the problem.


We generally prefer to keep our nose in a bowl of soup and out of the political arena, but over the weekend, Istanbul's politics seeped through the cracks in our windows, in the form of teargas and general mayhem. As longtime foreign residents of Istanbul, we've found it relatively easy to steer clear of political activity, but every so often it barges into our homes and turns our stomachs.
For almost a week now, demonstrations have been building up a momentum that still has yet to be exhausted. What started as a demonstration against the destruction of a small park near Taksim Square in order to make way for yet another shopping mall quickly turned into the Alamo of the disenfranchised.

Council tax payers in Spilsby will pay one per cent more next year towards the town council.
Councillors met on Thursday to determine the precept level for the next financial year but some tough decisions may have to be made in future budgets.
Changes by the Government mean that East Lindsey District Council now issues a Council Tax Support Grant to town and parish councils with the remaining figure coming from the precept which is money received through council tax.
Some councils have had to increase this figure to meet a shortfall.
East Lindsey District Council has allocated that Spilsby will receive a support grant of £7,740.
Spilsby Town Council's gross precept is £44,521 so they will receive £36,772 through council tax.
This represents a one per cent increase and will mean a Band D property will pay £45.74 towards the town council through council tax, which equates to 0.88 pence a week.
The majority of houses in Spilsby are bands B and C so they will pay even less.
But the council was unable to set its budget as the council heard they may have to make cut backs as it is envisaged that the support grant may not be available in future years.
The meeting heard that the precept does not cover the budget of the council which has had to use money held in reserves.
Councillor Philip Odling questioned the £1,000 proposed for nine new barrier flower boxes.
He said: "Don't get me wrong, I think they are fantastic and wish we could have more of them but looking at the budget, is this something which is absolutely necessary?
"I am really worried about what is going to happen in the future and the reserves we have got. I look at this budget and I can't see where we can prune a lot from but it does have to be pruned drastically."
Councillor Winston Baugh questioned the annual civic service, stating: "All it fetches in is Mayors."
But Spilsby Mayor Michael Lenton was quick to point out that 63 organisations in Spilsby were represented at the last civic service.
He said: "The civic service is the town council's way of thanking those organisations for all the hard work they do 365 days a year for nothing."
The budget was deferred to a meeting at the end of this financial year.

Sports run deep in Markus's blood – growing up, his dad was a basketball coach for many years, and he participated in several sports teams. Even now, his innate competitive drive perpetually drives him forward to learn and succeed.
A native Wichitan, Markus left to pursue a college degree in economics from Princeton University, then spent time in New York as a salesperson for an internet trading platform. A love for family brought him back to the Midwest, where he also connected with a promising position as an associate wealth advisor at 6 Meridian.
Although he's still at the beginning of his career, Markus is eagerly learning the ropes of wealth advisory. His love for helping people and drive to achieve great results position him well for developing his own book of clients someday.
The collaborative environment at 6 Meridian is ideal for Markus, who has a genuine appreciation for teamwork. He especially values the cooperative atmosphere he sees on a daily basis. In his free time, Markus enjoys spending time with friends and family. He still plays recreational sports and stays active in his church, and he's making plans to become a dog owner in the near future.
