Has science always been one of your interests and passions, even if your career hasn't followed a science path? Do you have professional skills from another field—whether that be business, building and engineering, communication and education, arts, and others—that could benefit our scientific research? If so, there are a variety of volunteer opportunities available here at our Bozeman, MT office headquarters as well as in the field and at our Cooke City, MT field station.
In the Office: even though our thoughts, imagination, and sometimes even workdays are spent in Yellowstone, the day-to- day business operations necessary to sustain YERC keep us grounded in Bozeman. But this provides an opportunity for folks with office and business skills to branch out into ecology by applying those skills to our needs here at the office. If this sounds like you, stop by and visit or contact us at the office.
In the Field: when funding and time is available, we do our best to maintain our presence in Yellowstone and continue the legacy of our longterm datasets by hiring field crews. But since there is safety in numbers, we welcome the opportunity of volunteers joining those crews, assisting them in the field, and keeping an eye out for bison, bears, and billowing thunderheads. If you would like to spend some time helping out in the field, please let us contact us.
At the Field Station: Cooke City, Montana—home to YERC's field station—at over 7,600' is the highest elevation town in the state. Winter temperatures regularly drop to - 40, and more than 10 feet of snow buries the isolated town with around 50 yearround residents during winter. All this, on top of the three hour drive from Bozeman, makes maintaining our field station a daunting task. But for those with the skills and tools to help with these repairs, this provides an opportunity to volunteer and stay in such a unique place right on the doorstep to Yellowstone National Park.
The packed-down grassy patch surrounded by sagebrush seemed a long way from the operating rooms Molly Attell was used to working in.
Yet the surgical nurse—with "35 years in the operating room" including more than a dozen years as a clinical educator—had a passion for wild canines since she was little, and in spite of a nursing career that takes her around the world to places like Vietnam, Micronesia, Ecuador and most recently Nepal, she has found time to observe, understand, and advocate for the wild animals she is most interested in. So as a volunteer helping a YERC field crew process a live coyote captured for the Canid Ecology Project, Molly was amazed with just how much that real world experience mattered in this real life research situation.
"I thought, 'Wow, my skills as a nurse come in real handy,'" she said, describing the care for the pup and the sterile equipment. "Who knew my skills as an OR nurse could be helpful in Yellowstone?"
Molly's husband, Steve Attell, likewise brings his diverse background and skill set to YERC's Adaptive Ecology team.
"My goal was to choose a profession I was interested in and had a passion for," he said. "I wanted to make a contribution."
For eleven years, that contribution was as a Marine aviator, including a thirteen month combat tour in Vietnam. He then pursued architecture and design—"a challenging profession, but a lot of fun"—eventually following a career mentor to specialize in managing large construction projects from start to finish: B1 bomber and stealth aircraft facilities at desert airbases, clean rooms in Silicon Valley research labs, and eventually Stanford University where he oversaw the campus' infrastructure growth for more than twelve years. In spite of that busy career, like—and indeed with—Molly, Steve has become a valuable part of the YERC team, which has in itself proven to be his own gateway into Yellowstone and his personal connection to ecology.
. "In my lifetime, some of the most meaningful experiences I've had have been in the field of biology," he said, "and I'm not a biologist."
Carl Sagan said, "every kid starts out as a natural-born scientist." But Sagan went on to say, "and then we beat it out of them." Molly and Steve are proof that this does not have to be true: by reaching out to us, finding creative ways to apply their skills and talents to our needs, and following their passions for understanding and adventure even when it took them out of their usual professional box, Molly and Steve were able to make Yellowstone and YERC an important part of their lives as well as have a beneficial impact on our research.
So just how exactly did this surgical nurse and architect end up helping coyote researchers in Yellowstone? Molly described hearing YERC founder, Bob Crabtree, speak at an event in Yellowstone in the late 1990s, and how she approached him in the parking lot after the event.
"'You just said the magic word,'" Bob told her. What? she asked. "Passion... would you like to come out this winter?"

J.P. Morgan commits £1.3 million to 'Power Up' digital skills in the UK
Good Things Foundation	June 18, 2019
J.P. Morgan, with Good Things Foundation, today (19 Jun) launch Power Up, a pioneering £1.3 million initiative to help individuals, businesses and communities to participate by helping people in underserved communities build the digital skills that they need to qualify for in-demand jobs.
Good Things Foundation – a social change charity, and sector-leader in digital inclusion for socially excluded groups – will deliver the new Power Up initiative.
Despite widespread internet access, there is a deep divide between those who have the digital skills and confidence to benefit fully, and those who do not.
The latest Ofcom release shows a 17% gap in internet use between adults in high and low socio-economic groups.1 Of people with zero digital skills, 46% earn less than £17,499 a year.2 People with basic digital skills can expect a lifetime increase of their average earnings of 2.8%.3
Across the UK, governments, corporates, community organisations and charities are working to close the digital divide. Power Up is an exciting new contribution, that will support and motivate people to apply digital skills in their lives or businesses, and will use digital inclusion to catalyse collaboration locally.
Informed by new research (also launched today) by Good Things Foundation, Power Up aims to improve people's digital skills, motivation and confidence.
It focuses on three key themes:
Jobs and skills
Small business support.
The research – Powering Up: How we enable more people, communities and businesses to participate fully in a digital economy – makes important recommendations for government, corporates and civil society.
It highlights that much more needs to be done, and with greater urgency, to bridge the UK's digital divide.
A key recommendation is that governments at all levels should embed digital skills in major initiatives for jobs and skills, financial health, and small business support – so that digital is integral, not a 'bolt-on'.
The Power Up initiative is looking for applicants who want to rise to this challenge.
Applicants will already be experts in providing community-based, person-centred support to people on low incomes; or in providing support to small businesses.
They will be looking for opportunities to transform their offer so that digital skills are embedded more fully; or to extend their offer, where they have a proven track record of embedding digital skills in their support.
Power Up will support activity in:
Edinburgh, and
All of which are local to J.P. Morgan's largest UK operations.
Power Up demonstrates J.P. Morgan's commitment to address the key drivers of inclusive growth by making big, long-term investments that directly leverage their firm's talent and resources to create a lasting impact in their communities.
J.P. Morgan's commitment in Power Up is also part of its $350 million global five-year commitment to the future of work to help under-served populations develop critical skills for in-demand careers through new investments in education and training programs and building a future-ready workforce by forecasting emerging employee skillsets, career pathways and upskilling opportunities.
In all of these locations the firm's employees will invest their time and talents in supporting the community organisations who are delivering digital skills training to those who can most benefit from it.
In Scotland, Good Things Foundation is working with SCVO (Scottish Council of Voluntary Organisations) to help deliver the initiative.
The initiative has been welcomed by the UK government's Digital Minister Margot James MP, and the Scottish government's Minister for the Digital Economy, Kate Forbes MSP.
Dan Zinkin, Managing Director, Global Technology for Digital Investment Banking at J.P. Morgan, says:
"Digital skills are essential today and have the potential to change lives – helping people to find work, grow their businesses and take charge of their finances. Through Power Up, the impact of today's initiative will be to enable more people to contribute to and share in the rewards of a growing economy. J.P. Morgan is passionate about the impact that developing digital skills can have on our economy and our society, and we're delighted to be working with Good Things Foundation to launch Power Up."
Margot James MP, Minister of State for Digital and Creative Industries, says:
"I am delighted to see the private and charity sector joining forces to help improve people's digital skills across the country through the Power Up initiative. Collaboration is essential to make sure everyone is able to enjoy the benefits of the UK's digital economy and to effectively tackle issues surrounding digital inclusion.
"This initiative complements the work we are doing in Government to empower regional businesses, educators, charities and public sector to come together to boost skills and the local economy through our Local Digital Skills Partnership. I look forward to seeing a digital skilled workforce of the future emerge."
Kate Forbes MSP, Minister for Public Finance and Digital Economy, says:
"This is a fantastic opportunity to work right across sectors to improve digital inclusion, maximise economic prospects, and ultimately to close the digital divide. The Scottish Government is pleased to support JP Morgan's innovative initiative. It is designed to help individuals, communities and businesses to support people with their digital skills. The initiative is an important step towards bridging the digital skills gap and ensuring that everyone in Scotland can enjoy the social, cultural and economic benefits of the internet."
Helen Milner OBE, Good Things Foundation Chief Executive, says:
"The world we're living in is changing rapidly, and although digital has the power to revolutionise both our lives and our work, many people are being left behind. That's why we're delighted to be working with J.P Morgan to deliver a new kind of initiative that will change how digital skills support is delivered. J.P. Morgan's Corporate Responsibility mission is to enable more people to contribute to and share in the rewards of a growing economy, so that's why working with them is such a great fit. This initiative will have a significant impact on the lives of the people we're supporting, and I know the learnings will have a long term impact on the sector, and the way digital skills support is delivered."
The report launched today by Good Things Foundation – Powering Up: How we enable more people, communities and businesses to participate fully in a digital economy – makes recommendations for governments, corporates and civil society on how to effectively embed digital into small business, jobs and skills and financial health support.

Q: How to get Python iterators not to communicate with each other? Here's a simple iterator through the characters of a string.
class MyString:
    def __init__(self,s):
        self.s = s
        self._ix = 0

    def __iter__(self):
        return self

    def __next__(self):
        try:
            item = self.s[self._ix]
        except IndexError:
            self._ix = 0
            raise StopIteration
        self._ix += 1
        return item

string = MyString('abcd')

iter1 = iter(string)
iter2 = iter(string)
print(next(iter1))
print(next(iter2))

Trying to get this iterator to function like it should. There are a few requirements. First, the __next__ method MUST raise StopIteration and multiple iterators running at the same time must not interact with each other.
I accomplished objective 1, but need help on objective 2. As of right now the output is:
'a'
'b'

When it should be:
'a'
'a'

Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you!

A: MyString acts as its own iterator much like a file object
>>> f = open('deleteme', 'w')
>>> iter(f) is f
True

You use this pattern when you want all iterators to affect each other - in this case advancing through the lines of a file.
The other pattern is to use a separate class to iterate much like a list whose iterators are independent.
>>> l = [1, 2, 3]
>>> iter(l) is l
False

To do this, move the _ix indexer to a separate class that references MyString. Have MyString.__iter__ create an instance of the class. Now you have a separate indexer per iterator.
class MyString:
    def __init__(self,s):
        self.s = s

    def __iter__(self):
        return MyStringIter(self)

class MyStringIter:

    def __init__(self, my_string):
        self._ix = 0
        self.my_string = my_string

    def __iter__(self):
        return self

    def __next__(self):
        try:
            item = self.my_string.s[self._ix]
        except IndexError:
            raise StopIteration
        self._ix += 1
        return item

string = MyString('abcd')

iter1 = iter(string)
iter2 = iter(string)
print(next(iter1))
print(next(iter2))

A: Your question title asks how to get iterators, plural, to not communicate with each other, but you don't have multiple iterators, you only have one. If you want to be able to get distinct iterators from MyString, you can add a copy method:
class MyString:
    def __init__(self,s):
        self.s = s
        self._ix = 0

    def __iter__(self):
        return self

    def __next__(self):
        try:
            item = self.s[self._ix]
        except IndexError:
            self._ix = 0
            raise StopIteration
        self._ix += 1
        return item

    def copy(self):
        return MyString(self.s)

string = MyString('abcd')

iter1 = string.copy()
iter2 = string.copy()

print(next(iter1))
print(next(iter2))

Magic: The Gathering – Tactics
Magic: The Gathering – Tactics is a turn-based strategy game, in which the player must defeat the opponent's Planeswalker. The player controls a Planeswalker and an army in the form of spellbooks.
Upon creation of an account, a player chooses one of the five colors in which to focus, as well as a figure to visually represent his or her Planeswalker. New accounts initially receive starter decks for all of the colors, free of cost. Cards from these starter decks cannot be traded. Additional cards are obtainable via trades in an auction house, purchases in a cash shop, or rewards for completion of single-player scenarios.
Gameplay differs from the card game in several ways. One difference is that there are no land cards to provide mana; instead, an incremental pool of mana is available to the player each turn, depending on the cards in his or her spellbook. Another notable difference is that the player's Planeswalker is able to level up and specialize in talents. Also, battles progress on a grid-based map with figures representing creatures and Planeswalkers, each of which is controlled and moved by the players, much like a miniature game or tactical RPG.[4]
Gameplay is separated into a number of campaigns and while players can access some for free additional content must be unlocked through the premium virtual currency used in all Sony Online Entertainment games, Station Cash.[5]
Sony announced that a second set of figures will be added, increasing the number available to players. This set was scheduled to be added 'late this summer' along with some new game mechanics.[6]
The second set was released in December 2011.

Beginner: See The Top 10 Cryptocurrencies To Invest
Published by Abdulmujeeb A. Owolabi on December 10, 2021 December 10, 2021
Join Naturenex on Telegram
Cryptocurrencies is a form of digital money that is not controlled by a central authority such as the government. It is instead based on blockchain technology, with Bitcoin being the most widely used.
Rating the Top Cryptocurrency Choices
Rate of Adoption
What are the Best Cryptocurrencies
1 Bitcoin (BTC)
2. Ethereum (ETH)
3. Polygon (MATIC)
4. Sushi (SUSHI)
5 Chainlink (LINK)
6 Solana (SOL)
7 Cardano
8 Polkadot (DOT)
9 Ripple (XRP)
10 Stellar (XLM)
As the use of digital money grows on Wall Street, more possibilities become accessible. Currently, there are over 5,000 cryptocurrencies on the market.
While bitcoin can be used to make purchases, most people consider it to be a long-term investment. However, because cryptocurrency is volatile, it's crucial to understand what you're getting into before investing. The top eight cryptocurrencies worth investing in in 2021 are listed below.
You may get plenty of advice about how to invest in cryptocurrencies by conducting a quick online search. The following considerations were taken into account when selecting the top ten options.
What is the history of cryptocurrency? New cryptocurrencies aren't ruled out right away, but having historical data to compare to allows you to evaluate how a company has performed in the past.
What has been the company's performance over the years? It's a positive indicator if prices remain consistent. It's even better if you observe that the cryptocurrency is gaining traction and getting more valuable over time.
In terms of usability and security, how does the platform compare to others? The speed with which transactions are completed is the first thing you should check for. The network should have no trouble handling transaction traffic.
You should also ensure that your investment is safe. Blockchain technology is used by the majority of cryptocurrencies, making all transactions transparent and easy to follow. The use of blockchain technology does not always make it more difficult for hackers to steal your cryptocurrency. It makes it easier to trace your money so that it may be recovered rather than lost due to fraud.
How many individuals are interested in the cryptocurrency you're thinking about investing in? When a cryptocurrency has a high level of adoption, it suggests it has better liquidity. In the future, trading, selling, and spending will be simpler.
The finest cryptocurrencies in 2021 aren't just currencies; they're also native assets for some of the financial world's most exciting firms and enterprises. Mark Cuban and Andreessen Horowitz are both big supporters of altcoins, particularly decentralized finance (DeFi) investments, which have been hot this year.
Here are some of the most promising VC-backed cryptocurrencies to buy in 2021.
Bitcoin, the king of all cryptocurrencies, was the first and best-known cryptocurrency on the market. It also has the greatest market capitalization and is one of the most actively traded cryptocurrencies, providing investors with liquidity. When it comes to retail and institutional acceptance, Bitcoin reigns supreme. Most cryptocurrencies will follow Bitcoin's price trend, thus if Bitcoin suffers, altcoins will likely suffer as well.
READ ALSO 3 Great Things You Must Consider Before Buying Bitcoin
Given that the price of bitcoin is still below its all-time high of almost $64,000, purchasing now could be a decent long-term investment. Because there will only ever be 21 million bitcoin in existence (with roughly 15% of that amount lost), the price of the asset will rise as long as Bitcoin's user base grows. Bitcoin now has a 1.7 percent inflation rate, which halves every four years in a process known as bitcoin halvening.
Investing's Risks
Bitcoin's value is notoriously volatile. During any given month, the price could fluctuate by thousands of dollars. If you're worried about dramatic changes like these, you might want to stay away from Bitcoin. Otherwise, these changes shouldn't be too troubling as long as you remember that bitcoin is a sound long-term investment.
Another reason to think twice about investing in Bitcoin is its high cost. Most consumers can't afford to buy complete shares of the stock because a single share costs more than $50,000. This is a disadvantage for investors who want to avoid buying partial shares.
Since its launch in 2015, Ethereum has seen enormous gains as the currency and platform that made smart contracts a part of the cryptocurrency market's vernacular. Ethereum has become one of the most frequently discussed cryptocurrency projects in the world, trailing only Bitcoin in terms of market valuation.
Microsoft, Intel, Chase, and J.P. Morgan are among a group of companies working on business-ready versions of the Ethereum software. With the project's momentum and market enthusiasm, there's no reason to believe Ethereum has run its course, and investors should include Ethereum in their cryptocurrency portfolio. On Coinbase, Gemini, and Voyager, you can buy Ethereum.
While Ethereum makes use of blockchain technology, there is only one "channel" for transactions. When the network is overcrowded, this can cause transactions to take longer to process.
Because of a weakness in the Ethereum wallet, more than $60 million in Ether was lost in a hack in 2016. While the corporation has made progress in terms of security, any cryptocurrency investment carries the risk of security flaws.
Polygon is an Ethereum sidechain that is rapidly scaling DeFi. The networks' struggle to upgrade to Eth2 has been highlighted by Ethereum's high gas fees. Layer 2 scaling options, which execute transactions on a side chain before submitting a batch of transactions to Ethereum's layer 1 blockchain, have received approval from Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. Users pay much lower transaction fees as a result, and transactions can be completed in a matter of seconds.
Layer 2 sidechains are crucial for scaling Ethereum, and Polygon was one of the first to implement them. Because assets must be bridged to the sidechain, there will be some switching expenses, which will encourage players to stay on Polygon in the long run.

Sushi, sometimes known as SushiSwap, began as a rival to Uniswap's decentralized exchange. Since its beginnings, the app's developers have improved it to include a number of features, with more to come in the near future. Sushi is distinct from Uniswap in that it pays dividends to Sushi token holders. SUSHI token holders can stake their tokens on the platform in exchange for 0.05 percent trading fees on all trades.
Aside from the SushiSwap DEX, the decentralized platform also includes lending markets, token launchpads, and leverage trading. Sushi wants to launch Shoyu, an NFT platform that will compete with OpenSea, which is currently the largest NFT marketplace. NFT sellers will be charged a 2.5 percent fee, which will be paid out in dividends to SUSHI token holders.
The Chainlink decentralized oracle network is powered by the Ethereum currency Chainlink (LINK). This network enables Ethereum smart contracts to connect to other data sources, APIs, and payment systems in a secure manner.
SmartContract.com was Chainlink's first foray into the industry in 2014. The name was changed to Chainlink shortly after its inception to better reflect the company's core market.
In 2019, Chainlink formed a strategic relationship with Google. Chainlink's technology was included in Google's smart contract strategy as a result of the partnership. Investors hailed this move as a huge victory because it allows consumers to connect to two of Google's most popular cloud services. Chainlink is a cryptocurrency that can be purchased on Coinbase and Gemini.
While it ranks higher than thousands of other cryptocurrencies, it has lower volume and market capitalization than more enticing cryptocurrencies.
Solana, one of Ethereum's main competitors, has seen exponential growth in 2021. Solana is now trading for well over $200, up from lows of about $1 in the run-up to 2021. Solana is one of the largest blockchains for decentralized banking, with billions of dollars in cryptocurrencies locked up on its blockchain. For both NFTs and DeFi, many investors are turning to Solana's blockchain.
Solana's key advantage over other smart contract blockchains is its emphasis on scalability. To execute thousands of transactions per second, Solana employs a proof of stake consensus approach in addition to proof of history. Plus, Solana transaction fees are around 99 percent lower than Ethereum's, making it an excellent option for regular traders who don't have the resources to pay Ethereum's three-figure gas prices.
For numerous reasons, the Cardano network has a smaller footprint, which appeals to investors. Cardano requires less energy to conduct a transaction than a larger network like Bitcoin. As a result, transactions are both speedier and less expensive.
It asserts that it is more adaptive and secure. To keep ahead of hackers, Cardano is constantly improving its development.
Cardano may not be able to compete with larger cryptocurrencies even with a better network. Fewer developers means fewer adopters. Most investors want to see a high adoption rate, thus this isn't tempting to them. The platform has enormous ambitions, but there are concerns about whether it will be able to realize them.

Polkadot was founded by Ethereum leaders who split out to build their own coin with a more advanced network. Polkadot offers numerous "lanes" to conduct transactions in, rather than just one.
This cryptocurrency was created to reward real investors while weeding out those who are only interested in making quick money on the stock market. Investors that are actively involved in the company also assist in the decision-making process on issues such as:
Fees for the network
Upgrades to the network
Creating or dismantling parachains
Gavin Wood, the founder of Polkadot, first announced the coin in a whitepaper in 2016. Polkadot began trading on the stock exchange toward the end of 2020. Polkadot lacks a track record for comparison due to its brief existence, making it a risky investment for potential buyers.
Ripple is the business that created the XRP coin and is appealing to investors because it offers international transactions, which sets it apart from other cryptocurrencies. International money transfers through a bank can take up to ten business days. The same transactions take seconds using Ripple.
Furthermore, Ripple has agreements with major banks all over the world. The more contracts the Ripple cryptocurrency has, the more accessible it is to adopters.
Ripple's value rose 36,000 percent in 2017, indicating its potential. However, the fact that the percentage represented increased to a stock value of $2.40 is less spectacular. Don't get distracted by large percentages when investigating cryptocurrencies. Get down to the nitty-gritty of growth to see what it truly means.
Stellar Lumens, often known as XLM, was created to meet a specific demand in the cryptocurrency world. It functions as a bridge between banks and blockchain networks, similar to PayPal for cryptocurrency networks.
Stellar can convert any currency and exchange it across channels because it is a decentralized network. It makes these transactions less expensive and quicker than they would be if they were done through a typical bank.
Because XLM serves a particular market, it will almost certainly face competition from other businesses. Stellar's stock value could be impacted if another cryptocurrency network develops a better platform and steals traffic from it.
Cryptocurrencies are here to stay, there's no doubt about that. The question then becomes, where is the finest spot in the market to invest your money?
Here are some other points to consider as you decide which cryptocurrency is the best investment for you:
The time it takes for a transaction to be executed.
Transaction fees are the costs associated with completing a transaction. The ability to make regular transactions and bank transfers with your cryptocurrency
If you're only interested in investing and not transacting on the network, keep in mind that bitcoin isn't a get-rich-quick scheme. Instead, think of it as a long-term investment.

Cloud computing study 2022
In its 9th year, Foundry's 2022 Cloud Computing research was conducted to measure cloud computing trends among technology decision-makers, including usage and top growth areas, investments, business drivers, challenges, and shifting services and applications to the cloud. According to this years findings, 69% of organizations have accelerated their cloud migration over the past 12 months, and the percentage of companies with most or all IT infrastructure in the cloud is expected to leap from 41% today to 63% in the next 18 months.
Organizations are also recognizing the value, as 60% of IT decision-makers (ITDMs) state that cloud capabilities have helped their organization achieve sustainable revenue growth over the past 12 months. However, adoption and migration do not come without challenges that cloud providers must address. When asked about the biggest obstacles to implementing their cloud strategy, the top three stated by ITDMs are controlling cloud costs, data privacy and security challenges, and lack of cloud security skills/expertise.
Our study explores these challenges in more depth and also highlights what technology buyers need from their current and future cloud providers in order to successfully advance their cloud strategy.
Key takeaways for tech marketers:
Cloud budgets continue to increase – on average, organizations will spend $78 million on cloud computing over the next 12 months, which is up from $73M in 2020.
Software-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service, Security-as-a-Service, Infrastructure-as-a-Service, and cloud-based analytics are considered to be the top cloud growth areas for 2022. However, these areas differ by company size and industry. Be sure to understand your target audience and provide them with the resources they need to stay up-to-date on these trends.
Organizations are defaulting to cloud-based services when upgrading or purchasing new technical capabilities. It's important to have a grasp on what business objectives are driving their cloud investments.
As in every aspect of the business, security remains top of mind when investing in cloud solutions. The number one business driver for cloud computing is to enable disaster recovery and business continuity, while data privacy and security challenges are one of the top obstacles to implementing a cloud strategy.
Despite the benefits organizations see from the cloud, a variety of challenges still get in their way, mostly around cost control, security expertise and a skills gap. Provide solutions to your customers and prospects to combat these challenges.

California: Do Not Sell My Information


A hit and run collision is both a frustrating and scary event. This crash in Salem reminds us all that hit and runs take place across our state on a daily basis in many areas. Although no one wants to think about being involved in these types of crashes, the reality is that they do happen and you must be prepared in the event that it happens to you.
There are many situations in which hit and runs occur. While these are certainly not legal excuses for a hit and run, the following circumstances are typically seen in hit and run cases. The fleeing driver may be impaired, may not have insurance or may be the subject of some other legal trouble in which they do not wish to have contact with police. In these cases, they feel justified in leaving the scene and attempting to place responsibility for their actions on others.

Vondelkerk 25 oktober
How can classical music pull in young audiences and combat the stereotype of being "something boring for old people"? Talented teen ambassadors could do the trick.
A concert played by young talents (13-16 years) with an interactive format – each piece will be presented in a special way on-stage by Maria Misltein. She will tell about the composers and hold mini-interviews with the musicians in-between the pieces, allowing the audience to ask questions, too. Because of this communication and of the earlier starting time (19.00), this concert is meant for young and curious, as well as for the adults who want to enjoy a beautiful evening full of classical music with their (grand) children!
The concert takes place in a very special location – Vondelkerk (Vondel Church). This newly restored unique historical building very often hosts classical performances due to its beautiful acoustics and atmosphere. Originally created in 1872-1879 by the famous Dutch architect Pierre Cuypers (1827-1921) who also designed Central Station and Rijksmuseum, the church was closed in 1978 because it lay completely in ruins. The restoration was completed by Amsterdam Monuments Fund in 1985. This astonishing example of the "New catholic churches renewal movement" found inspiration in the Middle Ages and was characterised by the architectonic revival of the Gothic architecture. Cuypers was the main representative of this movement in the Netherlands.
The program "Hidden Gems of Russian Romantic Music" introduces the Dutch public to this wonderful but less performed side of Russian chamber music. But then in a special way, namely through cooperation between the Russian and Dutch young talents. Coached by Maria Milstein, an internationally acknowledged violinist with Russian background, six young musicians aged 15-18 years come on stage. Three are the students of the famous Moscow Gnessin Special School of Music, where Maria once started to play the violin, and three come from the Sweelinck Academy, the prep-school at the Conservatory of Amsterdam, where she now also teaches.

We Bare Bears is the latest original animated series from Cartoon Network Studios – the shorts development program behind Cartoon Network hits such as Steven Universe, Uncle Grandpa and the Emmy-winning Regular Show (not to mention the Over The Garden Wall miniseries).
In advance of We Bare Bears' series premiere July 27, we asked creator Daniel Chong a few questions about his new series, including what it's like developing a series from a short and what to expect from the new comedy.
Watch Chong and voice stars Eric Edelstein, Bobby Moynihan and Demetri Martin introduce the series in the video below, and then scroll down to read our Q&A.
TW Blog: Tell us about your new series We Bare Bears. Where did the idea for a tech-savvy trio of Bear brothers come from?
Daniel Chong: Sure! The show is about three Bear brothers (Grizzly, Panda, and Ice Bear) trying to integrate into human society. They live in the forest and trek over to the city to mingle. People don't freak out at the sight of them, but don't really enjoy their presence either. The show takes place in the Bay Area, and it felt appropriate that they would be heavily involved in tech culture. It was also a way to isolate them more from the world, as technology can sometimes do, which would be another obstacle for them.
The We Bare Bears series was developed from a short. What was that process like?
It was really smooth, especially considering I did all of it while living in the Bay Area. I liken the experience very much to when I made short films in college on my own. I came down occasionally for certain landmarks, but I mostly developed on my own, and corresponded with the executive team through emails.
Talk about your experience working with the Cartoon Network Studios Global Artists Program.
The studio was nothing but supportive and on board with the tone and sense of humor from the beginning. They gave great notes and feedback through the process, and trusted me to implement and interpret their thoughts through my storyboarding. Their understanding that ideas can change in every step, and being flexible to that filmmaking aspect was key. The network is the most comfortable with "board driven" shows, meaning the storyboard artist resolves a lot of information and dialog, so they don't mind waiting for that step to see what happens. As a storyboard artist myself, that was very liberating, and didn't slow down the creative process.
Hopefully something they've never seen before! Our visual style is simple and a bit of a throwback, but we focus on strong characters and storytelling – a sensibility instilled in me at my time working at PIXAR. We never set out to make a show for just kids, but a show that all ages will love and appreciate. The combination of cute/simple designs with more complex and modern stories will help relate to anyone who's willing to check the show out. We also have episodes where we see the Bears as little babies struggling to find a home – and if that can't win you over, we can't help you.
What do you like to watch? What are your influences?
We watched a lot of Seinfeld, Broad City, Peanuts animation, and Aardman shorts as reference – which are all things I love. I'm a huge Wes Anderson, PT Anderson, and the French New Wave fan. I read a lot of comic strips growing up, like Calvin and Hobbes and Garfield. I adore AA Milne's Winnie the Pooh.
I also watch a lot of basketball, so expect to see the Bears playing pick up once and a while. Note: They aren't very good.
We Bare Bears premieres July 27 at 6:30/5:30C on Cartoon Network.

Биография
Родился в 1932 году в Киеве.

В 1956 году с отличием окончил Свердловский медицинский институт. В течение 6 лет работал врачом-хирургом в Свердловской ГКБ № 1. Первым результатом работы стала защита кандидатской диссертации.

В 1975 году защитил докторскую диссертацию на тему «Диагностика и лечение хронического панкреатита».

В 1978 году возглавил кафедру факультетской хирургии Свердловского государственного мединститута. Длительное время являлся председателем диссертационного Учёного совета и учёного совета Министерства здравоохранения Свердловской области, советником ТФОМС, членом лицензионно-аккредитационной комиссии, президентом Академии прикладной медицины, председателем ассоциации хирургов Екатеринбурга и Свердловской области.

Уделял большое внимание разработке методов диагностики и лечения острого и хронического панкреатита. В Екатеринбурге на базе ЦГКБ № 1 организовал специализированный городской «Центр экспериментальной и клинической хирургии», где ввёл в практику ряд уникальных методов диагностики и лечения заболеваний органов брюшной полости.

В 1985 году удостоен Государственной премии СССР за разработку методов лечения заболеваний поджелудочной железы.

Автор более 200 научных работ и 15 патентов, был руководителем 42 кандидатских и докторских диссертаций.

Next-generation wealth holders highlight the S in ESG
Virginia Matthews
Young investors look beyond net zero to ESG issues like poverty and exploitation. Wealth managers face a highly persuasive and determined generation
Wealthy investors of all ages are sharply focused on climate change and sustainability. But for the younger generation, social justice is also a growing priority – and actions must speak louder than words.
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues are now central pillars for wealth managers and their clients, but motivations differ across the age spectrum.
If building a sustainable planet for the grandchildren is an urgent priority among older people, then for the under-40s, progress to net zero is a given.
Spurred on by the economic and health inequalities pinpointed by the coronavirus pandemic, many are looking beyond cars and plastics to global poverty, child labour and pervasive discrimination.
In their bid to reframe their families' investments along such lines, they're proving to be highly demanding clients.
"Younger people can be very impatient for change and while many portfolios have already been significantly cleansed as a direct result of their influence, the conversations we continue to have with them can become emotive," says Leslie Gent, managing director and head of responsible investing at the private bank Coutts.
"While the debate around ESG inevitably starts off with them wanting to make particular exclusions from a portfolio, it's our job to explain to all members of the family that if you limit your investable universe, there will be impacts on your returns."
A shift in emphasis
Aside from differences in approach between generations, there is also a notable gender split, with women – particularly younger ones – noticeably more vocal about social inequality than men.
Younger women are "far more prepared to open discussions on these tricky issues than their male counterparts and anecdotally at least, I would say they have a greater understanding of them," says Alexandra Loydon, director for partner engagement and consultancy at wealth management house St James's Place.
While under-40s in general tend to be better educated about social and governance elements than their parents, younger men are "probably more interested in returns", Loydon adds.
The social side of ESG has tended to attract less publicity and investment than the environmental segment. However, younger clients have a wide range of concerns, reaching far beyond the traditional 'sin stocks' linked to alcohol, gambling or the arms trade.
"They want to know more about the impact their investments will have on issues such as child labour, the marketing of tobacco to the third world, unethical work practices or the number of women in leadership roles. Whatever the topic, their questions can be direct," says Loydon.
Greater transparency and disclosure about the potentially positive and negative impacts of their family's capital is also taking centre stage.
"Whether as an individual investor, entrepreneur or family member, this is about aligning their role with a purpose so that they can maximise the impact they can create," says Andrew Lee, managing director and global head of sustainable and impact investing at UBS Global Wealth Management.
Younger people can be very impatient for change… the conversations we have with them can become emotive
The future of fossil fuels frequently comes up in family meetings and for many next-generation investors, removing major carbon emitters from a portfolio is an obvious first step towards a low-carbon future.
For fund managers, however, divesting problem stock rather than engaging with the companies involved – all of which have crucial expertise to share – is a case of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
"Coal is a no-go for us because there's no place for it in a net-zero world, but when it comes to oil and gas, we have to avoid starving big players of cash," says Gent. "If that happens, they will go into private hands and we will have no further influence over them."
After 20-30 years of dialogue with the sector, change is starting to occur, "but it can't necessarily be achieved in anything like the next 12 months," Gent adds. "That's something that younger clients don't always want to hear."
Growing scrutiny
Younger, 'dark green' investors are committed to responsible investing and want as much as possible of their portfolio invested according to their personal values. Individual investments are coming under closer scrutiny from such investors, who will one day assume control of big family portfolios. The values of wealth management houses are also in their sights.
"Greenwashing is a big problem in the industry and it requires us, as asset managers, to draw on the knowledge of many different disciplines so clients can receive the guidance they need to help make an informed choice," says Gent. "If you're going to hold other companies to account, you have to start with your own business. For us, this is about being transparent and offering detailed disclosures on our website for clients to examine."
Faced with a barrage of 'Paris-aligned' investment opportunities and 'responsible investing' hubs from investment houses, would-be investors without a PhD in environmental science could be forgiven for being out of their depth.
This is why wealth managers who can sift through the claims and counterclaims of ESG investing are becoming ever more vital. That's the view of Tim Fassam, director of government relations and policy at the Personal Investment Management and Financial Advice Association.
"Their ability to cut through complex jargon and give bespoke advice based on their client's highly personal ethical approach – something which may have involved lengthy deliberation by the entire family – makes managers a vital conduit between different generations and a trusted adviser for all age groups."
Many of today's wealthy investors are acutely aware of their highly privileged position. They are keen to use their money not simply to create a legacy but as an active force for good.
With a growing number of ESG opportunities now available to them, the age-old tussle between doing good for society and making money for the family may finally be losing its grip, Fassam says.

William Pulteney, 1st Earl of Bath,  (22 March 16847 July 1764) was a British Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1707 to 1742, when he was created the first Earl of Bath by King George II.

Bath is sometimes stated to have been First Lord of the Treasury and British prime minister, for the shortest term ever (two days) in 1746, although most modern sources do not consider him to have held the office.

Background and early career
The son of William Pulteney by his first wife, Mary Floyd, he was born in March 1684 into an old Leicestershire family. He was educated at Westminster School and at Christ Church, Oxford, matriculating on 31 October 1700. He acquired extensive classical knowledge, and on leaving Oxford made the usual tour on the continent. In 1705, he was brought into parliament by Henry Guy (former secretary of the Treasury) for the Yorkshire borough of Hedon.  This seat was held by him without a break until 1734.

Throughout the reign of Queen Anne William Pulteney played a prominent part in the struggles of the Whigs, and was involved in the prosecution of Henry Sacheverell. When the victorious Tories sent his friend Robert Walpole to the Tower of London in 1712, Pulteney championed his cause in the House of Commons and with the leading Whigs visited him in prison.

Ministerial offices

Pulteney was secretary of war from 1714 to 1717 in the first ministry of George I, and was on the committee of secrecy on the Treaty of Utrecht, formed in April 1715. Two years later, on 6 July 1716, he became one of the privy council. When Townshend was dismissed, in April 1717, from his post of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and Walpole resigned, they were followed in their retirement by Pulteney.

The crash of the South Sea Company restored Walpole to the highest position, but all he offered to Pulteney was a peerage. Pulteney rejected the offer, but in May 1723 Pulteney agreed to accept the lucrative but insignificant post of Cofferer of the Household. However, when he found himself neglected, he opposed the proposition of Walpole to discharge the debts of the civil list, and in April 1725 was dismissed from his sinecure.

He was one of the original backers of the Royal Academy of Music, establishing a London opera company which commissioned numerous works from Handel, Bononcini and others.

Patriot Whigs
From the day of his dismissal to that of his ultimate triumph, Pulteney remained in opposition, forming the Patriot Whigs, a group of fellow Whigs who felt that Walpole was corrupt and tyrannical. Walpole's attempt's 1730 at conciliation with the offer of Townshend's place and of a peerage was spurned. Pulteney's resentment was not confined to his speeches in parliament.

With Bolingbroke he started, in December 1726, a periodical called The Craftsman, and in its pages the minister was incessantly denounced for many years. Lord Hervey published an attack on the Craftsman, and Pulteney, either openly or behind the person of Amhurst, its editor, replied to the attack. Whether the question at issue was the civil list, the excise, the income of the Prince of Wales, or the state of domestic affairs, Pulteney was ready with a pamphlet, and the minister or one of his friends came out with a reply.

For his "Proper reply to a late scurrilous libel" (Craftsman, 1731), an answer to "Sedition and defamation displayed," he was challenged to a duel by Lord Hervey; for another, "An answer to one part of an infamous libel entitled remarks on the Craftsman's indication of his two honourable patrons," he was in July 1731 struck off the roll of privy councillors and dismissed from the commission of the peace in several counties.

In print, Pulteney was inferior to Bolingbroke alone among the antagonists of Walpole, but in parliament, from which Bolingbroke was excluded, he excelled. When the sinking fund was appropriated in 1733 he led the denunciation; when the excise scheme in the same year was stirring popular feeling to its lowest depths the passion of the multitude broke out in his oratory. Walpole managed to avoid the fall of his ministry. Bolingbroke withdrew to France on the suggestion, it is said, of Pulteney, and the opposition was weakened by the dissensions of the leaders.

From the general election of 1734 until his elevation to the peerage, Pulteney sat for Middlesex. For some years after this election the minister's assailants made little progress in their attack, but in 1738 the troubles with Spain supplied them with the opportunity which they desired. Walpole long argued for peace, but he was feebly supported by his own cabinet, and the frenzy of the people for war knew no bounds. In an evil moment for his own reputation he consented to remain in office and to gratify popular passion with a war against Spain. His downfall was not long deferred. War was declared in 1739, a new parliament was summoned in the summer of 1741, and over the divisions on the election petitions the ministry of Walpole collapsed.

The task of forming the new administration was after some delay entrusted to Pulteney, who offered the post of First Lord of the Treasury (Prime Minister) to the Earl of Wilmington, and contented himself with a seat in the cabinet and a peerage, still hoping to retain his supremacy in the ministry. This made him unpopular, and his influence dwindled to nothing.

Horace Walpole asserts that when Pulteney wished to withdraw from the peerage it was forced upon him by the king, and another chronicler of the times records that when Walpole and Pulteney met in the House of Lords, the one as Earl of Orford, the other as Earl of Bath, the remark was made by Orford: "Here we are, my lord, the two most insignificant fellows in England." On 14 July 1742 Pulteney was created Baron Pulteney of Heydon, Viscount Pulteney of Wrington, Somerset, and Earl of Bath. On 20 February he had been restored to his rank in the privy council. At Wilmington's death in 1743 he made application to the king for the post of First Lord of the Treasury, only to find that it had been conferred on Henry Pelham.

Prime minister

On 10 February 1746, Pelham's administration resigned en masse, and the king turned to Bath to form an alternative ministry. He accepted the seals of office and made nominations to the most senior posts, but it quickly became clear that he did not have enough support to form a viable government, and after "48 hours, three quarters, seven minutes, and eleven seconds" he abandoned the attempt, forcing the king to accept Pelham's terms for resuming office. As the office of Prime Minister did not then officially exist, it is a matter of controversy whether Bath should be considered to have been Prime Minister by virtue of his two-day ministry.

Bath's failed attempt to form a government brought him much ridicule. Horace Walpole recorded the joke that "Granville and Bath were met going about the streets, calling 'Odd Man', as the hackney chairmen do when they want a partner", and a contemporary pamphlet satirically praised him for "the most wise and honest of all administrations, the minister having ... never transacted one rash thing; and, what is more marvellous, left as much money in the T[reasur]y as he found in it."

Death and legacy

An occasional pamphlet and an infrequent speech were afterwards the sole fruits of Bath's talents. His praises whilst in retirement have been sung by two bishops, Zachary Pearce and Thomas Newton. In 1762, two years before his death, he served as treasurer of the Salop Infirmary in Shrewsbury. He was buried on 17 July 1764, in his own vault in Islip chapel, Westminster Abbey. The monument is by the sculptor Joseph Wilton.

He married on 27 December 1714 Anna Maria, daughter and co-heiress of John Gumley of Isleworth, commissary general to the army who was often satirized by the wits of the day (Notes and Queries, 3rd S. iI. 40 2-403, ~ 490). Anna Maria was the aunt of  Rev. Dr. John Lockman, Canon of Windsor. She died on 14 September 1758, and their only son William Pulteney died unmarried at Madrid on 12 February 1763. Pulteney's vast fortune passed in 1767 to Frances, wife of William Johnstone and daughter and co-heiress of his cousin, Daniel Pulteney, a bitter antagonist of Walpole in parliament, and had taken the name of Pulteney.

Of business he was never fond, and the loss in 1734 of his trusted friend John Merrill, who had supplied the qualities which he lacked, was lamented by him in a letter to Jonathan Swift.

The town of Poultney, Vermont and the Poultney River were named for him.

2016 WINTER CONCERT SERIES RECAP
Jazz • Elementary Strings • Mariachi • Orchestras
The Winter Concert weekend kicked off the Friday of December 2 with the Jazz Concert at the Santa Fe Prep Driscoll Auditorium. Both the Jazz Essentials and Jazz Performance groups showcased their talent at the concert. Several students in both groups, performed using different instruments throughout the concert, exhibiting the student's firm grasp and understanding of the structure and concept of each piece played. A few students sang, some doing it for the first time in front of an audience! Behind the scenes in preparation for the concert, all students contributed their ideas on the different arrangements performed.

Elementary Strings and Mariachi performed on Saturday, December 3 at the St. Francis Auditorium. According to ES Director, Sarah Gachupin, "the greatest feat for the Elementary Strings students was that they had never played with the other schools in the program but were able to come together with a 45-minute rehearsal and play amazingly well together." Students also went with the flow when they had to change a couple of the notes at rehearsal.
The Mariachi Concert featured folk classics as well as some modernized arrangements of mariachi music featuring a significant crop of new students in the Mariachi Garibaldi group. The beginner students are already making progress and shaping up to be great future additions to the advanced group. Many of the Mariachi Estrella students have been part of the group for as long as 9 years! Mariachi Director, Jesus Gachupin remarks: "The level of the group has increased and the energy in rehearsals is exciting. Estrella students have always had a great level of talent but our cohesiveness as a group has solidified even more this year. I feel we're a little mariachi family." The group was accompanied by director Jesus Gachupin, violin instructor Gabe Tafoya, trumpet instructor Emily Maestas, and Guitarron parent volunteer, Steven Montano.
The Orchestras Concert took place on December 4, also at the St. Francis Auditorium where Intermezzo, Youth Philharmonia, and the Youth Symphony Orchestra groups all performed.
According to conductor, Karles McQuade, "the greatest challenge Intermezzo faced this semester was preparing and performing the tenor chorus "Wachet Auf" from JS Bach's Cantata no. 140. Nearly 6 minutes long, this work is double the standard length that Intermezzo usually performs." In addition to the length, Intermezzo students were exposed to performing with baroque bows, which would have been appropriate for the music of Bach's era, but sound and feel very different from the modern conventional bows in place since the mid 1800s. Being a baroque work, the piece also called for a continuo part, usually played on organ or harpsichord. In this instance the part was played by one of our violinists, who also has previous keyboard experience, on the harpsichord. To pile on the challenges further, Intermezzo was joined by rev. Doug Escue, who sang the tenor part. Accompanying a singer, managing a full orchestral sound without drowning out a soloist, was yet a another new experience for Intermezzo. Despite all this novelty and challenge, the Intermezzo kids most certainly rose to the occasion, and will begin in the spring ready for, as Michael Palin puts it, "Something completely different."
For the Youth Philharmonia performance, three students were asked to research the selection and composers of the pieces that the group would be performing. Olivia Bell, "Legend"; Dean Gonzales", Dance of the Tumblers" and Xitlalitl-Rodas, "La Cumparcita". Conductor Richard Snider remarks that "they did a splendid job not only in their research and substance, but in their presentation to a full auditorium."
The Youth Symphony Orchestra worked on a Schubert symphony that was quite challenging, and they did a fine job getting through it. For the first time in years, the YSO has a full horn section of four, conductor William Waag remarked that they represented themselves very well on Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. Above all, the organization is especially proud of the ensemble's continued growth, even in this rebuilding year (many seniors graduated in 2016), it's a great sign of up coming semesters/years.

Divya, a Scrum Master for a Scrum Team, is looking for improving Agile maturity in her team. However she has a challenge in dealing with the TechLead, Surya, in the team. Surya, a long timer in the company, is a very critical member needed for the success of the project. But he doesn't believe in Agile and often opposes many of the practices; He is non-cooperative and dysfunctional at times in the team. He not only skips most of the Scrum ceremonies but also influences other team members to do the same. Divya is looking for help from the Agile Coach on how to deal with Surya.
How can you help Divya?
First & foremost, Divya should try to understand the possible reasons for Surya's behavior. There are many possibilities – it may be lack of understanding of the rationale behind Agile practices, or it could be resistance to change or it could be due to mismatch of aspirations/goals or it could be due to insecurity or fear of losing individual prominence etc.
Depending on different reasons, Divya will have to take different approaches. If Surya is not aware of the rationale behind Agile practices, she should enable him to attend a workshop like 'The Whys of Agile' and follow up with some coaching so that the principles of Agile are manifested in his work context. On the other hand, if it's because of his resistance to change from the old ways of doing things, she should see what motivating factors, 'what's in it for me' aspects would help.
In many such cases I have observed that behavior of people like Surya is due to fear of losing control or insecurity of losing the 'hero' status. If Divya senses such a possibility, she should help him to overcome that by creating awareness that his growth to next levels is really in influencing larger set of teams instead of individual contribution and in developing more people like him.
I have used techniques like 'Five dysfunctions of a Team' by Patric Lenchioni or Johari Windows, with the whole team. It helps to bring reflections on the team and individuals' behavior & culture. Divya can use some of these approaches with the whole team through which Surya gets the right messages. It's like holding a mirror.
I would like Divya to consider two more possibilities depending on the situation.
It's possible that Surya's goals and objectives are not aligned with the new Agile ways – it may be still individual contribution oriented. Divya can facilitate a meeting with Surya and his manager to refine the goals to include more team oriented and development oriented goals beyond the individual contribution.
Finally, if none of these are yielding sufficient results, Divya can leverage the Agile Coaches, who might have more experience in dealing with such situations, to directly engage with Surya and use this as another channel to influence.
