As an historian, I do not believe leadership is a timeless thing. Rather, it emerges from the ethical imperatives of a particular moment, what Martin Luther King Jr. once described as a recognition of "the fierce urgency of now." That recognition and the set of skills that nurture and sustain it can, fortunately, be taught and learned. Leadership is something we practice in relationship with others and in the particular historical context that gives our actions moral purpose. Leadership begins with a capacity for reflection and improvisation as we adapt what we think we know about the world to the messy and inspiring realities that we live within. It becomes visible not only when an individual change-maker experiences success — when a citizen wins an election, for example — but when she, he, or they learn how to mobilize people who disagree with one another toward common aspirational goals. Leadership manifests itself when people manage to build a bigger "we," when seemingly ordinary people create systemic change that fires the imagination, and galvanizes hope for the kind of society we want to create and inhabit, as citizens of nations and this precious planet simultaneously.
I am excited to convene a truly remarkable community of teachers and students, some of them founders and former directors of the Hart Leadership Program (HLP), others teaching and learning in it for the first time, and still others who may have just heard of the HLP. I urge you to peruse our current course offerings and to visit the story quilt, a moving set of testimonials by former students that explain in powerful ways what a purposeful life looks and feels like. I also encourage you to pay attention to our events board where we highlight upcoming opportunities for students within Hart classes and across Durham County to listen, engage, and learn from one another.
This past January, we added two new faces to our Hart Program staff as Maria Pacheco departed to continue her career development. We are delighted to announce the appointment of Lalita Kaligotla as our new Associate Director and Adjunct Professor in the Sanford School. Before coming to Durham last year, Lalita directed the Minor in Leadership Studies at Georgia Tech, a successful interdisciplinary program based in the Institute for Leadership and Entrepreneurship at the Scheller College of Business. The program facilitated leadership development among undergraduate students through curricular and co-curricular opportunities. This semester, Lalita is co-teaching the SOL gateway class, "Border Crossing," with me, while also coordinating the Hart Fellows program and helping recruit a new cohort of Hart fellows.
Adam Beyer is the new Associate in Research. Adam graduated from Duke in 2018 with degrees in Public Policy Studies and History, as well as a minor in Political Science. He won the Terry Sanford Leadership Award for his dedication to expanding student political engagement while at Duke. Adam also became involved with the Hart Leadership Program during his sophomore year when he took the Political Engagement Pilot Project, a yearlong intensive leadership development program focused on politics taught by Alma Blount and Steve Schewel. After graduation, he worked for Sen. Jon Tester's reelection campaign in Montana. At Hart, Adam helps plan our events, leads community engagement efforts and assists in our study of student perceptions of leadership.
This spring, our growing program is exploring some of the diverse, complementary, and unheralded forms of leadership emerging across the South, even as a new group of SOL students and Hart Fellows prepare to venture far beyond the confines of Duke, Durham, and the nation this summer. As part of our ongoing Connect2Politics programming, we have planned several events that put our students directly into dialogue with invited speakers. Together they collectively tackle a range of pressing contemporary ethical and political challenges.
Our first event, "Remembering White Supremacy" on February 4th, featured the remarkable recommendations of the Durham City-County Commission on Confederate Monuments for what to do with the statue of a Confederate soldier taken down by a group of Durham citizens in the wake of the dramatic events in Charlottesville, Virginia a year and a half ago. Appointed by local leaders, the Commission featured our very own Hart Leadership Professor, Deondra Rose; Robin Kirk, co-chair of the Duke Human Rights Center at the Franklin Humanities Institute; and Charmaine McKissick-Melton, professor of mass communications at North Carolina Central University and also a civil rights veteran who helped integrate Durham's elementary schools. Students taking the SOL gateway class, "Border Crossing" asked the distinguished panel "how do we commemorate a history that is complex, divisive, unresolved, and not yet fully past?" The reflective responses by all three presenters offered no simple answers. But each panelist provided stories that exemplified how engaged listening can bridge – if not reconcile – the heated emotions connected to Confederate monuments, a model for how truth and reconciliation can emerge from contemporary conversations about white supremacy.
Our second event, to be held February 25th, builds on the effort to put history to work by bringing students into dialogue with emerging leaders who are finding ways to expand citizen engagement beyond the immediate electoral cycle. Entitled "Organizing Beyond Elections: A Conversation with the The Atlantic's Vann Newkirk II and local practitioners," the forum links thinking and doing, not only by featuring the voices and insights of leading practitioners on criminal justice reform, health care policy, and campus sexual assault policy, but also by fomenting student-led breakout discussions about how to organize political engagement without candidates and elections in the foreground.
Our third Connect2Politics event, "Bridging the Urban-Rural Divide," features Jacob Bachmeier, who was elected to the Montana State Assembly at the age of just 17 by canvassing virtually every eligible voter in his remote Montana district. Returning to the theme of "Youth Leadership," the event will also create opportunities for students to learn about the work of non-partisan citizens' groups seeking to engage rural voters across North Carolina. Rural-urban divides are not new and neither are they going away anytime soon. By engaging the borders that vastly complicate the process by which American citizens of varied political outlooks respond to the most pressing ethical and political challenges of this moment, we hope to frame starting points for which our inspiring students learn the art of leadership and acquire the tools to foment systemic change across borders.
In addition to these important pedagogical convenings, the Hart Leadership Program will be awarding a new class of Hart fellows in early March, even as our current fellows Sanjeev, Michaela, and Andrew wrap up their remarkable fellowships. For a peek into the transformative work they have been performing, look at the "Fellows in the Field" section under the Hart Fellows section of our website.
I look forward to sharing more of the exciting news about the work that our students and faculty are embarking on this semester – from the amazing impact that students of the indefatigable Tony Brown are creating in Durham, to the incredible skills about politics and policymaking that students are gaining from Marty Morris, the longest serving chief of staff in US Senate history.

The role of nitric oxide (NO) was studied in the control of ischaemic/reperfused cardiac function and the effect of N,N,N',N'-tetrakis-[2-pyridylmethyl]l-ethylenediamine (TPEN), a potent metal chelator, on the regulation of cardiac NO formation. 2. Rat isolated working hearts were subjected to 30 min ischaemia and reperfusion. The incidence of reperfusion-induced ventricular fibrillation (VF), ventricular tachycardia (VT) and the recovery of cardiac function were measured. Nitric oxide was detected by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. 3. With 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0 μmol/L of TPEN administered prior to ischaemia, the drug produced a reduction in the incidence of VF from its control value of 100% to 25% (P <0.05), 17% (P <0.05) and 8% (P <0.05), respectively. The incidence of VT followed the same pattern. 4. When TPEN was given at the moment of reperfusion, a reduction in the incidence of VF and VT was still observed. Reduction in the incidence of VF and VT was reflected in the improvement of cardiac function both in the pre- and postischaemic TPEN-treated groups. 5. TPEN reduced basal cardiac NO content and prevented the accumulation of NO during ischaemia/reperfusion. 6. The results show that TPEN exerts beneficial effects on postischaemic cardiac function and dysrhythmias in relation to inhibition of the accumulation of NO in ischaemic/reperfused myocardium.

QUEEN & SLIM Review: Trivial Pursuit
Hollow characters stall this modern Bonnie and Clyde story.
By JM Mutore Nov. 22, 2019
Outlaws are a cornerstone of American mythology. From Jesse James to Bonnie and Clyde, we love to retell stories about people who openly shirked the law and became folk figures in the process. But for Black people—who often achieve outlaw status for the mere act of existing—the narrative is a lot bleaker, with every day bringing a high potential for getting gunned down by cops and a low potential for getting folk songs sung about you as a result. The image of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow going down in a hail of police bullets lives on in the collective memory, while the destruction of Amadou Diallo is largely forgotten.
Melina Matsoukas's Queen & Slim is a film that, commendably, wants to correct the disparities between the way we treat legendary white outlaws and the way we view Black people who've been outlawed. It takes an event that has become a routine tragedy on news and social media and spins it into an epic folktale, complete with two central figures who remain nameless yet manage to be influential with their every move. Unfortunately, Queen and Slim rarely get to be more than just "figures," because the film wants so badly to inspire and impart meaning that it forgets to include interiority and nuance.
We're introduced to Queen (Jodie Turner-Smith) and Slim (Daniel Kaluuya) during an unremarkable first date. It's obvious from the jump that they don't get along, which makes it all the more fitting that they're forced to stay together for their own survival. Just when they were about to part ways, a chance encounter with an aggressive police officer causes them to kill said cop in self-defense, so then they have to go on the run to escape the death penalty. Their search for sanctuary sends them on an odyssey through the Deep South, where we see them interact with eccentric characters, evade the law, and inspire a movement. We also get to see the two bond, but the film doesn't give us the same opportunity to bond with them.
Queen and Slim are both ciphers with plenty of informed character traits, but no real psychology to underpin them. Turner-Smith's Queen is a stuck-up, yet tough social justice freedom fighter. We learn this not through her actions in movie, but through her own self-description. A big problem throughout Queen & Slim is that when the script wants you to know something about a character, it has that character say it aloud in no uncertain terms. It's the kind of thing that would be permissible in an after school special, but not a cutting-edge drama with aspirations of updating Bonnie and Clyde and Badlands.
Kaluuya and Turner-Smith are both talented enough performers to make some chemistry shine through their overly snippy banter, but no amount of chemistry can dissolve the baffling dialogue they've been given. Queen & Slim's script is grasping for profundity with every other word, to the point that characters will introduce themselves in one line then give an ontological thesis in the next. The fact these characters are bouncing monologues off each other rather than talking like people is even more perplexing when you consider screenwriter Lena Waithe's stacked bona fides elsewhere.
My running theory over the first half of the film was that Queen & Slim was an absurdist dark comedy, hence why so many characters evoke arch stereotypes, and why the tension surrounding the chase feels so deflated. But it's not that the movie is trying to be funny; it's that way too much of it happens off-screen. Queen & Slim relies on implied action and expository backstory, so several emotional beats aren't given the appropriate context to feel as meaningful as the film wants them to be. The stakes of Queen and Slim's pursuit aren't felt because we're rarely given a window into how the police are hunting for them. Even the folk legend that's growing around them is cordoned off to throwaway lines and doesn't seem to affect the main characters' growth.
For a film that's allegedly about uplifting the Black Lives Matter movement, Queen & Slim spends a weird amount of time generating sympathy for the police. With the exception of the short-tempered profiler who incites the plot, the police characters in Queen & Slim are repeatedly shown to be decent, reasonable family men who are doing the best they can do to keep everyone safe. In one scene, an officer helps our central duo escape. A different officer calmly tries to save a young Black boy during a chaotic protest. Yet another officer tearfully apologizes for the actions of his "bad apple" colleague and forgives the main characters sight unseen for acting in self-defense. The convenience of all these scenes and more makes it clear that Queen & Slim is disinterested in interrogating systemic racism and policing as institutions.
Queen & Slim is a film that almost works as a transgressive exercise in absurdity—a modern descendant of Sweet Sweetback's Baadassss Song—but its folktale style too often loops around into status quo-reaffirming moralizing. The movie is so convinced about making its star couple inspiration figures that it neglects to humanize them. At worst, Queen & Slim equates Black freedom to martyrdom, and I think that ascribes way too much meaning to all the meaningless death that's resulted from police violence.
The thing about Bonnie and Clyde was that Bonnie and Clyde were real people before they were folk heroes. Queen and Slim are not, and the film does little to prove that they are.

Shared electric and connected vehicles in 10-15 years in India
EV exports will cut oil import dependence of the country, said Amitabh Kant CEO, NITI Aayog at the 57th SIAM Annual Convention while speaking on the theme 'Building the nation responsibly.ETAuto | September 07, 2017, 17:04 IST
NEW DELHI: Shared electric and connected mobility will take a decade to 15 years to become popular in India. In the meantime, India has to enhance its manufacturing expertise to global size and scale, develop electric vehicle (EV) componentry and enhance its renewable energy capability.
EV exports will cut oil import dependence of the country, said Amitabh Kant CEO, NITI Aayog at the 57th SIAM Annual Convention while speaking on the theme 'Building the nation responsibly.
At present auto component exports contribute 25 percent of annual production. The 23.4 million auto industry in 2015 is pegged to reach volumes of 66.3 million in 2026 and on a optimistic scenario be in the range of 75.8 million in size that will put a pressure on infrastructure.
At present, while India has 20 cars per thousand people, in USA the ratio is 800 per thousand people and in China 85 cars per thousand. This will give a huge opportunity for growth of electric cars that will grow from 10.4 percent in 2026 to 53.3 percent of the total cars sold in the country.
Growing at a CAGR of 9 percent, EVs sale is pegged at 14 million in 2030 and 30.81 million in 2040, said Kant. "SIAM has to be ready for this growth as already battery prices have fallen by 40-50 percent.

Prices will drop further with scale up in technology and increase in volumes from $273kwatt per hour to $73kwatt per hour in 2030 when there will be a huge shift from IC engines to lithium ion batteries.
Pointing out the challenges, Kant said SIAM must come up with a policy for the industry on EVs, so that the EVs service not only the domestic market but penetrate the global markets. In addition, alternate fuels like hydrogen fuel cells should be leveraged in the long-term to boost clean mobility.

Hello Moxxie Nation! Renee from Scrap Owl <www.scrapowl.com> back on the blog today sharing just one of my many Disney layouts to come. That's one thing about a trip to Disney, there are always TONS of pictures to scrap!
I used pieces from both the new and "seasoned" Moxxie Magical Moments collections. But, I but you can't tell which is which!! All the pieces go together so well, you'll be tearing through your stash in no time.
For this layout, I used the Moxxie Magical Moments Miss Mouse (say that three-times-fast!) a-side as the base. I also used strips from the Moxxie Magical Moments Oh Boy a-side and the title strip for layering. I finished off the base with a strip from the Moxxie Magical Moments Magical Cutouts b-side.
The film strip title was created using a small section from the Moxxie Magical Moments Magical Cutouts a-side and the super fun new alphas that coordinate with this line. Aren't they adorable?!?! I think Miss Mouse would be proud.
The Mickey sticker is straight from the Magical Kingdom. I got him as part of a scrap set there, but let me tell you, for the price of those "official" kits I'm sure glad I have my Moxxie!!

BETTER Farm Programme winds down after more than a decade
Claire Mc Cormack
After more than a decade in existence a decision has been made to wind down the Teagasc BETTER Farm Programme.
Speaking at a Teagasc beef and sheep event in Tullamore on Wednesday, November 13, Teagasc beef specialist Aidan Murray – who managed the BETTER Farm Programme from 2008 to 2013 – explained some of the reasoning behind the move.
The programme – which ran in conjunction with the Irish Farmers Journal – was established in 2008 with the aim of developing a roadmap for profitable beef production through improving technical efficiency within the farm gate.
The programme progressed through a series of phases on a large number of demonstration farms across the country, where farmers drove the profitability of farm gate prices, production costs and animal performance / beef output.
Despite achieving much success with the programme over the years, a decision was reached in recent weeks in line with stakeholder consultation. These stakeholders include: ABP; Dawn Meats; FBD Trust; and Kepak.
Murray reflected on the programme and explained that a number of factors were taken into consideration along the way.
"We started the BETTER Farm Programme in 2008. At the time, Teagasc wanted to start a new suckler programme on beef farms.
We wanted to show how efficiency will improve profitability. We took on 16 farms at the start and looked at what we could control within the farm gate to improve profitability.
"We focused on health, farm planning, improving grassland and overall silage quality and winter nutrition. At the time, those farms started with a gross margin of €386/ha," he said.
'Different media'
However, after 10 years, a sentiment developed among stakeholders that perhaps it was "time for a change".
"We went back to the stakeholders who indicated to us that we actually should change. It's like having a car for 10 years; you would think of freshening it up or changing it.
So the decision was taken that the BETTER Farm Programme would wind up at the end of January and that it would be replaced with 12 new demonstration farms in each of the area units around the country.
"The farms would continue to work at best practice and would continue to use different methods to try and get the information out from the farms.
"People are using different media outlets and different ways of accessing information, so we just got confirmation in the last few weeks that that's how it's going to happen," Murray concluded.

More formally, The Legend of the Cherry Tree that Blossoms Every Ten Years. In this beautiful game of set collection, the players race to collect the blossoms of the mystical tree before they hit the ground. The one that collects the most will have their wish granted by the tree--but beware. Greed is unbecoming of a wish-seeker, and if you push your luck too far the tree will deem you unworthy!
Nimble is a real-time game of quick eyes and quicker hands. Players race through the world of classical fairy tales, competing to empty their hand first. Each card consists of two colors-a frame and a center--and you can only play a card on top of an existing card whose center matches your frame. Simple in writing, chaotic in practice! Nimble is an excellent icebreaker or party game.
Detective is a unique take on the cooperative mystery game genre. Consisting of 5 cases that must be solved in order, players do not play as a detective, they ARE a detective. You're expected to use every resource at your disposal, from metaknowledge to Google, to solve these cases. If you're an inquisitive soul looking for something new, Detective is the game for you.
Competitive Kitchen
Competitive Kitchen is a new party game tailored to fans of cooking shows like Iron Chef. Players take turn being judges, who reveal secret ingredients, while everyone else must somehow combine their absurd ingredients into an appetizing meal. May the best chef win!
Blood Rage is one of the most highly rated games of the last decade. This strategy game places players in control of Viking clans during Ragnarok, and it's the last chance to earn glory and secure your place in Valhalla! Battle for dominance as the world burns, as only the truly glorious can live forever by Odin's side.
Back after months away is Tiny Epic Galaxies! Mighty, interstellar empires clash in this one teeny-tiny box. Roll your dice to decide your actions, and strategically order your turns to maximize your gains. But beware; if your opponents are willing to spend the resources, they can interrupt your turn! Only the mightiest tiny tyrant may rule the galaxy.
Tumball
Tumball is a dexterity game with an interesting setup. Players must carefully stack their white beads atop a larger cluster of beads, suspended by wires. Too much weight and the cluster will give way, so watch out and place carefully.
Pathfinder: Playtest
Paizo's Pathfinder RPG has dominated a huge chunk of the market for nearly a decade now. Now, the next step has arrived, the Pathfinder Playtest, the first book of playtest material for the still-in-development Second Edition. If you want to be part of shaping this franchise, pick up the playtest and make your thoughts known!
The Faithful: New Beginnings
The Faithful is an expansion for Guild Ball, a tactical miniatures game of fantasy medieval soccer! This pack contains 6 gorgeous metal miniatures and the associated rules and cards; all you need to field a full team of Guild Ball players!
Warsaw: City of Ruins First Edition (AKA: Capital)
Warsaw: City of Ruins is an incredible game of history and tragedy. Players work as architects, each constructing a district of Warsaw throughout its history. War and disaster will come to raze your district, and you will rebuild--forming a patchwork of past and present. We should be getting the second edition with the updated title sometime soon, but in the meantime, check out this game--it's not to be missed.
Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying
One of two new arrivals to our RPG shelf is the Legend of the Five Rings RPG Beginner Game. Rokugan has been the seat of countless campaigns since the RPG first came out in the 90s, and now that the card game has returned, it's never been a better time to adventure in the Emerald Empire. Try out the Beginner Game and see!
The second RPG we've gotten in this week, Delta Green takes your X-Files fantasy and takes it up to 11. Using the same d100 system of Call of Cthulhu, Delta Green takes the Lovecraftian world of dark cults and dead gods and moves it to the modern day, where the overworked, under-budget government agency Delta Green holds the line between sanity and madness at a steep cost. Step into the shadows where dark things dwell with Delta Green.
Trivial Pursuit: Harry Potter
If you're a die-hard Potterhead then this is the game for you. With a mind-boggling 1,800 questions, this will test the limits of even the most devoted fan's knowledge. The perfect trivia game for a geeky gathering!
Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small
Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small is a two-player edition of the much larger Agricola. This smaller, streamlined game focuses on the raising of animals, while maintaining the strategic gameplay of its bigger cousin. Purchase and raise livestock, expand your farm, and become the wealthiest farmer in your district through wise and careful management of your holdings.
Paper Tales is a card-drafting game about heroics and the ravages of time. Played out over the course of two centuries in a fantasy world, players draft heroes and villains to represent them in the struggle. But age bows to no one, and your cards will age, and inevitably vanish, beneath the inexorable flow of time. An innovative new game that's worth a look.
Game of Thrones: Streets of King's Landing
Streets of King's Landing immerses the player in the growing corruption seeping throughout Westeros, expanding upon the ever-popular Shadow keyword. Lay traps, spin plots, and keep your head above water: after all, in the game of thrones, you win or you die.
Pokemon Celestial Storm Theme Decks
Finally, we've gotten a ton of Pokemon in. The new Celestial Storm Theme Decks, starring Sceptile and Swampert, have arrived, bringing a unique flair to the new set. In addition, we've gotten restocks of the Burning Shadows and Crimson Invasion theme decks as well as more Crimson Invasion booster packs. Come take a look!
Phew! That's a lot of announcements. Check back next week for more here at What's New at Labyrinth!

While we were hanging out outside the doctor's office today, waiting for my sister's appointment to finish, Joshua (age 6) and Abi (age4) were deep in conversation. The topic: superheroes.
I must say I'm not sure how to respond to this one, their dad would be proud, for sure, but….. How did he go from squirrels to Wonder-woman?
Sometimes just keeping up with that boys thoughts is like running a marathon. As for his Daddy I am very proud.
