2nd International Conference of NextGen Korean Studies Scholars (NEKST)
NEKST 2014 Program
A Study on Yi Gwang-su's Autobiographical Novel of the Period of Liberation
Seon-ae Heo, Seoul National University
The writers during the period of liberation (1945-1948) put forth "sincerity" of practical self-criticism as an attitude of literary man facing a new era. Distinct from them, however, Yi Gwang-su takes a form of self-confession. He, who has kept a silence for nearly three years, comes out with a self-confessional sequence novel, I. The atmosphere of the contemporary group of writers does not tolerate his autobiographical novel, tinged with fictiveness. The sequence novel, thus, unavoidably stops developing at the 20s of the main character and Yi republishes an autobiography, My Confession, including the confession from childhood to the now.
This paper tries to investigate the narrative strategy of two works: one is an autobiographical novel and the other an autobiography, I and My Confession. The biggest difference of I from Yi's autobiographical documentaries before the liberation is the point that it raises tragedy, juxtaposing his birth with the air of a national peril. According to the attitude of indecision caused by his tragic childhood, 'I' only takes a passive attitude to his first love and to national reality. The death of his parents and the deficiency brought about by the failure of the first love makes him commit 'forgoing' of his double-faced act and the rape of an older sister of his friend.
This forgoing means his pro-Japanese attitude, the cause of which lays bare the deficiency of national reality. In My Confession, he associates national movement with his birth, and explains his childhood in context with ethnicity and anti-Japanese. But, identical to the sequence novel, it consists of deficiency in order to account for his pro-Japanese attitude. The death of Ahn Chang-ho becomes suggestive of the deficiency. That is to say, both of them, his autobiographical novel and autobiography, assert emphatically that his mistakes to the homeland is aroused by the lack of the character who has mediated his desires, after which, by accentuating the feeling of lethargy, he emphasizes his necessity of his acts.


I've been listening to snippets from the tour and what I've heard so far has been okay, but nothing that's knocked my socks off. The set lists are amazing given the range of music (30+years) and the daring lack of structure, but the music itself, while good, seems to lack the magic that made the Grateful Dead what they were. And that shouldn't be a surprise as Jerry Garcia was the lead component of that magic. And while Warren Haynes (the singer/guitar player who replaced Jerry) is an extremely talented musician, his playing rarely gets under my skin. But I'll reserve a full commentary on that for when I see them live. That may be a thoroughly different experience.
It's weird to hear Warren Singing Jerry's parts. You can't complain about his playing.
I can't complain about his playing from a technical talent level, but I can insomuch as his playing doesn't move me. While Jerry is irreplaceable and they will never get back exactly what they had, I always thought Steve Kimoch was a more Dead-appropriate guitar player. I preferred "The Dead" when he was standing in the lead guitar slot. Warren is a great rock and roller/Allman Brothers style player. But he rarely soars. Not in the way I want to see the Dead soar… Now the Dead seem like a solid band, but not one I would follow.
I agree with Hal. Warren's playing is certainly proficient, smooth, tight, etc., but I think that very sense of "tightness" (as opposed to "looseness") is what makes the whole business feel less experimental…it sort of feels like they're keeping the GPS turned on all the time, rather than dispensing with the map and seeing where things go. Having said that, the 2nd night Worcester show was absolutely smoking, so it CAN work; I think the trick is to keep Bobby well up in the mix, especially since he really sounds great.

Almost, Maine – February 2016
THE GRAND CENTRAL STAGE THEATER COMPANY PRESENTS
JOHN CARIANI'S PLAY
Production Dates: February 26-28, 2016
Almost, Maine is a play by John Cariani, comprising nine short plays that explore love and loss in a remote, mythical almost-town called Almost, Maine.ST. PETERSBURG, FL—The Grand Central Stage Theater Company will premiere its first staged production with the play, Almost, Maine. The upstart theater company hopes to make a mark in St. Pete's growing theater community with writer John Cariani's tale that takes place on a cold, clear, moonless Friday night in the middle of winter. Yet all is not quite what it seems in the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine. As the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, residents of Almost find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and often hilarious ways. Knees are bruised; hearts are broken. Love is lost, found, and confounded. But the bruises heal and the hearts mend – almost.
The New York Times called the play, "a whimsical approach to the joys and perils of romance (where) magical happenings bloom beneath the snowdrifts," in one of the many favorable reviews.
"Sweet, poignant and witty," said The New York Daily News.
"John Cariani aims for the heart by way of the funny bone," – The Star Ledger.
Almost, Maine is directed by the trio, Karleigh Chase, Michele Young and Jamie LaBudde, who make certain you're in for a good time with an experienced crew of talented actors, many of whom are from The Andi Matheny Acting Studio.
Tickets are $20 at the door.
Performances are Friday and Saturday, Feb. 26 and 27th at 8:00 pm, and a matinee on Sunday February 28th at 3:00 pm.
For ticket reservations or information, call: 813-956-1186
The theater is located at the Andi Matheny Acting Studios, 2260 1st Avenue South (at 23rd Street), St. Petersburg, FL 33712

While driving to town early one November morning, this scene at Big Lake, Manitoulin Island, called out to me and I had to stop the car to take a photograph. Much of the scene has my interpretation of colour, and the loons had already left for the south for winter. Michael Wilcox's wonderful colours and colour system and Daniel Smith's autumn and quinacridone colours were my choices here, and good ones, wouldn't you agree? "Sunset on Big Lake, Manitoulin Island", Watercolour, Framed (20" X 29"). The original is no longer available, but prints and cards can still be ordered. If you are interested, you may reach me through my Guest Book.


In Habitica, players have the option of hatching Eggs using hatching potions in order to obtain pets. The type of potion used on the egg determines the color/theme of the pet (e.g., use desert potion on wolf egg; hatch desert wolf).
After attaining level 3, players unlock the ability to randomly receive eggs as drops when they complete Habits, Dailies, and To-Dos. In addition, players unlock the ability to buy eggs from the Market with gems, or sell their extra eggs for gold.
The following eggs are available as drops. They can also be purchased in the Market for 3 gems each, and extras can be sold for 3 GP each. Each egg has an equal probability of dropping.
Quest eggs (also known as V2 eggs or Gen2 eggs) are obtained by completing specific quests. They were introduced in early 2014. The table is hidden to avoid possible spoilers.
Like other eggs, extras of these can be sold in the Market for 3 GP apiece. They can also be bought for 3 gems each, but only after the player has completed the relevant quest.
An exception to this is the Plain egg, which cannot be bought; the only way to obtain a Plain egg is by completing the Egg Hunt quest, for which scrolls are only available during Spring Fling.

Danny Webb suffered relegation from the Football League as a player with Cambridge United in 2005.
And he looks to be heading that way again as manager of Leyton Orient as they went bottom of Sky Bet League Two following a 5-0 pummelling at Accrington in what he called his "lowest night in football".
Orient are now seven points adrift of safety with nine games left and Webb, who took charge of the strugglers in January, admitting they had their work cut out.
He told the East London Guardian: "It was a very hurtful night at the office so to speak, certainly my lowest night in football.
"I have not been in it long in regards to the management side of it.
Orient went bottom on goal difference as a result of Newport winning 1-0 at Morecambe.
And in a great gesture, County dished out a free away shirt to the fans who made the trip to the Globe Arena.
A club statement said: "Newport County AFC this evening thanked its loyal supporters who made the 448-mile trip to Morecambe FC by giving away 50 away shirts to the travelling fans.
Not so happy was Kevin Nolan though, after what would have been an equaliser was ruled out in his Notts County side's 3-1 defeat at table-topping Doncaster.
At 2-1 down, Haydn Hollis had the ball in the back of the net only for the flag to be raised, with Rovers going on to grab a third goal in stoppage time.
"I still don't know why the goal wasn't given," Nolan told the Nottingham Post.


We've had a lot of crappy, cold weather lately but this past Saturday we got a day filled with blue skies and warm weather. When our friends from Bon Jeudi told us that they were getting together that day for a ride in our town to celebrate the "Ride Master's" fiance's birthday ... we knew we couldn't pass it up! Ken had gotten a new cruiser bike for Christmas and our friend Jeff, ("Ride Master") had a women's bike to sell me whenever we showed up to one of the rides. It had been a while since we'd ridden (on borrowed bikes) and we were itching to get out in some good weather.
We all met up about 5 minutes from our house in Olde Town Slidell, rode around the quaint, older section of Slidell for a while, stopped at the Farmer's Market where one of the bicycle group's members was selling smoked barbecue (pig on a stick was sooo good), then stopped at KY's Bicycle Shop for lunch and birthday cake. This place has the best po-boys and nachos, and was previously a bicycle shop many years ago. As you can see from the picture above, folks inside the restaurant were checking us out. It's not too often that about 20 bicycles pull up to a restaurant around here!
Riding through the streets with a boom box got us even more strange looks. With Mardi Gras right around the corner, some folks thought we were a parade. It's fun to bring a smile on someone's face and have them wave. Below is a pic of the "Ride Master", with a speaker on his rear fender ... and Mr. Bill!
A new member joined that day ..."The Devil"! If someone in the group lays their bike down, the devil takes a place on their bike ... until the next person wipes out. It didn't take long for the devil to find his first bike to sit on. The guy who got the little red man is still stuck with him. Luckily, Ken and I made it through the day without a visit from the devil.
Another Bon Jeudi event is coming up in a couple of weeks, and it will be at one of our favorite (and very adult) parades in the French Quarter. We can't miss that one either. Look for some crazy pics from that one!
Exercise is good too. Love this. What a fun day.
We have a bike group that does bike Pub crawls with different themes and sometimes just as a social gathering. It's a blast! We coordinate with 4 or 5 pubs and then plan a route to each one.

The state of mobile game and app markets in H1 2022
AdQuantum and Social Peta, in collaboration, shared the Global Report on App Marketing for the first half of 2022.
The mobile performance marketing agency AdQuantum and ad intelligence platform Social Peta teamed up to create Global Report on App Marketing for H1 2022. The report shared valuable information on the state of mobile game and app markets, including market trends, UA strategies, ad approaches, market leader comments, and top paid traffic sources.
Related: How to make your mobile game earn – Game monetization explained
The duo indicated that the report derived from a comparison between H2 2021's data and new findings from H1 2022. Topics such as finance, health, casual games, education, books, and photo & video were the report's primary focus for detailed analysis.
Key takeaways from the report
Seven key takeaways were indicated in the report, as the companies explained that ad creative quality would be even more dominant compared to quantity in the future. A recommendation was made to use Twitter as an add-on source of traffic, as the platform is expected to grow both in 2022 and the following year.
CPIs were already rising and are predicted to increase even more, as AdQuantum and Social Peta comment that this will necessitate a more thorough budget check for marketers. The duo added that ad creatives that show simple gameplay mechanics or easy-to-use apps have been determined as the keys to success.
Predictive analytics and BI are highly suggested as tools of support for lifetime traffic analytics. The companies also stressed the necessity of keeping up to date with Apple's SKAdNetwork, along with turning to Tier-2 and Tier-3 markets that are worth attention in the mobile app scene.
Asia Pacific shows growth despite the total market's decrease
Per the report, advertisers saw a 10% year-on-year increase in emerging markets such as the Middle East, South America, and South Asia in the first half of 2022. In the same period, the total number of advertisers decreased by 2%, and ad creatives saw a decline of 27.83%.
Adjust's Elena Ivanova comments that mobile gamers in the Asia Pacific region have a 70% pre-register rate for new games. This indicates that the area is booming as Adjust expects further growth as investments in localization increase.
The report shared a 6.24% year-over-year decline in advertisers, as Europe, North America, and Oceania all had drops compared to last year. Excluding Mainland China, the Asia Pacific region saw a 37% increase year-over-year in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan alone.
Quality over quantity needed for ad creatives
AdQuantum and Social Peta stated that the decline in ad creatives was caused by companies choosing quality over quantity in order to gain an audience that will eventually be willing to spend money in-game. The number of creatives in H1 2022 was 15.8 million, which amounts to a decline of 30% year-over-year.
Casual, puzzle, and RPG genres were determined as the top three for game creatives. Although casual and puzzle saw growth in the number of creatives compared to last year, RPG creatives saw a decline of 1.5%.
Shopping, tools, and lifestyle genres were ranked with the highest percentage of ad creatives for H1 2022. Shopping creatives declined about 2% but still had a healthy lead over others by at least 6%, if not more.
In the games, finance, and health categories, the share of UGC-like (User Generated Content) creatives increased by 50% in a year-over-year comparison. These creatives, according to tests, are particularly common on TikTok and are capable of competing with motion videos as well as diversifying marketing strategies.
The report also noted a tendency of ad networks to move further towards automation, partly because of the easing of targeting options. The duo predicts that over the second half of the year, the bulk of ad platforms will continue to concentrate their efforts on automated campaigns.
Android is the focus after Apple's privacy changes
Since Apple's privacy changes, the number of creatives and marketers in the iOS market has decreased by about 12% in a year-over-year comparison of Q2 2021 and Q2 2022. Android experienced a significant climb instead, taking over 72.5% of creatives and advertisers in Q2 2022.
The report comes to a conclusion with valuable comments from market leaders, with names from AppsFlyer, Asodesk, Adkomo, and SplitMetrics, about the future of the mobile app and games scene. The full report contains a myriad of detailed information about the future of the mobile game and app industry. You can access the full report here.

Discussion in 'Current Events' started by NewGuy, May 21, 2004.
ROME, May 17, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Zenit news reported Friday an interview with Italian neonatal specialist Dr. Carlo Bellieni, who wrote the book Dawn of the I: Pain, Memory, Desire, Dream of the Fetus. The partial-birth abortion ban trials have brought to fore the question of the humanity of the unborn, specifically their ability to feel pain. Bellieni has worked for years in the Department of Neonatal Intensive Therapy of the Le Scotte University Polyclinic of Siena, where he has studied the issue of fetal suffering.
When asked by Zenit, "Does the fetus feel pain?" Bellieni replies: "Indeed."
He also describes the advanced development of a baby at an age legal to be killed by abortionists, "Today, we know that the fetus inside the maternal womb perceives scents and tastes, hears sounds, and remembers them after birth."
Bellieni illustrates that a "fetus, at 30 weeks of gestation, is able to dream. All these characteristics allow us to appreciate the human dimensions."
The neonatal specialist emphasizes that the scientific evidence for the humanity of the unborn is "immense. We cannot understand how it can be thought that it becomes a person at a certain point, perhaps when coming out of the uterus. From the physical point of view, at the birth very little really changes: Air enters the lungs, the arrival of blood from the placenta is interrupted, the type of circulation of blood in the heart changes, and not much more," he explains. "As I often say, only blind faith in magic arts or some strange divinity can lead one to think that there is a 'human' quality leap at a given moment -- certainly not science."
He concludes, ". . .I think one should say 'enough' to that anti-scientific attitude that regards prenatal life as a second-class life. And the paradox is that instead the Church is accused of retarding progress. In reality, the Church has an attitude of protection of health."
The fetus recognizes scents? SCENTS????? How in the world does the olfactory nerves work in a sac of fluid? one that the environment never changes?
dreams at 30 weeks? I'm surprised that its that late actually.
I think abortion is wrong as well...I just don't think the government should be making that difficult a decision for a woman, especially when HER life is on the line. Some of this person's theories sound like poppycock to me. I have a hard time believing he can actually tell if a fetus in utero is actually having a dream.

Athletes for Equity in Sport
In 2021, Athletes for Equity in Sport (AES) continued to speak up and advocate on behalf of participants
in Olympic sports who are under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Center for SafeSport (SafeSport) regarding
concerns about the SafeSport response and resolution process and its impact on both complainants and
respondents. AES used 2021 to focus on outreach, urging greater oversight and reforms of SafeSport
and providing additional support and assistance to members of the Olympic sporting community
involved in SafeSport cases. Our goal remains the safety and well-being of all athletes by working to
create a SafeSport process that is competent, fair, and trusted. AES had a busy and productive year with
more work to do in 2022.
AES Meets with SafeSport CEO Ju'Riese Colon
For well over one-year, AES has tried to meet with SafeSport officials to discuss AES policy goals and how
AES and SafeSport can work together for a level playing field. In December, after insistence and
persistence, AES President Diane Carney, AES Vice-president Kelly Cormaci and Athletes Equity Resource
Center's (AERC) President Susie Schoellkopf, met with SafeSport CEO Ju'Riese Colon, SafeSport General
Counsel Heather O'Brien and SafeSport Vice-president for Response and Resolution Bobby Click.
Engaging in a direct dialogue with SafeSport has been part of the AES Mission Statement from the
beginning and we view this exchange as an important step forward in our efforts to fix what AES
believes is broken about the SafeSport process. In the meeting, AES stressed its intent to engage in an
ongoing dialogue with SafeSport in the coming year about ways to make improvements to SafeSport to
better protect the safety of athletes and to ensure trust in the process by all participants. AES raised
specific concerns about SafeSport's lack of transparency in its operations and procedures that
undermine faith and confidence in SafeSport, lengthy delays in resolving cases, some for more than a
year, and the lack of safeguards against weaponization of the SafeSport reporting and response process.
AES has already sent a letter to SafeSport following the meeting seeking additional information about
the topics discussed and requesting a follow-up meeting early in 2022.
AES supports the Commission on the State of U.S. Olympics and Paralympics
In 2020, Congress established a 16-member Commission on the State of the U.S. Olympics and
Paralympics to conduct an independent review on the state of the U.S. Olympics and Paralympics and to
report its findings and make recommendations to Congress on needed reforms to strengthen existing
governance structures and improve the experience of Olympic and Paralympic athletes in the future. All
16 appointments to the Commission were finalized in April of 2021, including the appointment of Nancy
Hogshead Makar, Founder and CEO of Champion Women, whom AES was pleased to recommend for
appointment.
In our outreach to members of the Commission, AES has urged members to prioritize athlete safety as
part of its oversight work and to look closely at SafeSport and how it needs to be improved to effectively
achieve its mission. AES has also worked to support funding for the Commission and is pleased that the
U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee recommended that $2 million be allocated for the Commission in
the federal budget and appropriations process Congress is currently working to finalize, which would
enable the Commission to begin its important work. AES believes the Commission provides an important
opportunity to tackle some tough issues facing the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic movement and will
deliver to Congress specific and informed recommendations on needed improvements, including
changes to SafeSport. This Commission will certainly raise awareness of the many pitfalls seen by AES.
AES Raises Profile on Capitol Hill
Over the past year, AES has conducted 25 meetings with staff of relevant Members of Congress with
jurisdiction and oversight of SafeSport to promote AES policy goals and objectives. These meetings have
enabled AES to raise its profile on Capitol Hill and educate key members of the House and Senate about
AES concerns regarding due process, the management and operational integrity of SafeSport,
weaponization and abuse of the SafeSport reporting process, and the lack of internal accountability
mechanisms at SafeSport needed to inspire faith and confidence in SafeSport decisions. AES has
provided firsthand knowledge through our pro bono attorneys, providing essential facts and experiences
to these conversations for balanced oversight suggestions.
Specifically, AES urged Members of Congress to take a closer look at SafeSport's operations and
procedures and to conduct more aggressive oversight. This would allow Members to see for themselves
what improvements need to be made so that SafeSport can fulfill the mission Congress intended, to
protect the safety and well-being of athletes while treating all parties involved in the SafeSport process
in a fair and equitable manner. In 2022, AES will continue its outreach to Congress and urge support for
needed reforms.
AES and AERC Offer Support and Assistance to Athletes
Members of AES established the Athletes Equity Resource Center (AERC) in 2021 to provide education,
support, and assistance to athletes and others who are impacted by SafeSport in all 51 Olympic Sports.
AERC provides information and educational materials for all parties in cases of alleged abuse or
misconduct. AERC offers these materials to ensure that each party has equal access to resources they
need for their opportunity for a fair and just process.
In conjunction with AERC, a 501(c)(3) accepting contributions and donations that are tax-deductible to
the donor, AES produced a 30-second Public Service Announcement (PSA) to promote the AERC Athletes
Assistance Program Hotline (855-639-3009). Athletes and their families in all 51 Olympic sports, can call
the hotline 24/7/365 to learn about available resources and assistance to help them navigate the
SafeSport process or to speak to a professional mental health counselor. The PSA aired during the CBS
Sports Network broadcast of the 2021 National Horse Show and can also be viewed on our website at
www.athletesforequity.org.
To learn more about the important work AERC is doing to support athletes and how you can help, please
visit their website at www.athletesequityresourcecenter.com.
AES Experienced Significant Growth in 2021
In 2021, the collaborative efforts of AES have increased membership, added representatives from new
sports, and achieved significant donations to support AES and its ongoing work to improve SafeSport.
AES is proud to report $2.5 million in direct and in-kind contributions from generous supporters who
identify with the AES mission and have donated significant time and money to our work since AES was
In addition to our ongoing fundraising efforts, AES has also added new members to the AES leadership
team, including attorney Steve Silvey, who serves as AES Counsel (pro bono). Other talented and
experienced attorneys who have joined the AES Executive Group this year include Mike Caddell and
Cynthia Chapmen. These and many other members who joined AES in 2021 have added new energy,
expertise, and incredible value to our bi-monthly Executive Group calls and strategy discussions that
have been held since October 2019 and will continue in 2022.
AES was also pleased to welcome new members in 2021 representing a growing list of sports including
pentathlon, badminton, wrestling, boxing, gymnastics, cycling, hockey, equestrian, figure skating, and
fencing.
With new talent and resources in our corner, AES is planning an active agenda to improve SafeSport in 2022. Our work will include active engagement with Congress, the Commission on the State of U.S. Olympics and Paralympics, and The Center for SafeSport senior leaders.
AES is grateful for the generous donations it has received and the countless hours our members have
freely given in support of AES and the work we do every day to make SafeSport work better for
everyone. To learn more about the work AES is doing and how you can volunteer or donate, please visit

About Architects — James Newhall Smith Architect, Inc.
This section of the website will attempt to answer common questions about what an Architect does and does not do and what can be expected during the course of a building project. There are many misconceptions regarding exactly what the Architect's responsibilities are on any given job.
The goal with this Information Section is to provide clients and potential clients with a much clearer understanding of the building process to avoid misunderstandings and surprises.
The process of building anything is complex, time consuming and usually expensive. The better informed the Client is, the better choices they can make regarding their project and their budget.
What is an "AIA" Architect?
Architects are licensed by the State of California Department of Consumer Affairs, Architect's Licensing Board . An Architect does not have to be a member of the AIA, which stands for the American Institute of Architects. We have a national organization, state chapters and regional chapters. Our local chapter can be found at http://www.aiamontereybay.org/ . The AIA is the professional organization of licensed Architects nation-wide, which many of us choose to be associated with.
Architects who chose to be members of the AIA are generally dedicated to excellence in practicing Architecture, conducting themselves with professionalism and being dedicated to the communities where they live.
A primary distinction is that AIA Architects must perform continual education within the field in order to remain a member. The state requires only minimal ongoing education of Architects to renew a license. An Architect could have been licensed for many years and not be at all current with the ever-changing practice of Architecture. This scenario is not likely with any Architect, but it is especially unlikely with an Architect who is a member of the AIA.
What kind of training does it take to be an Architect?
An Architect licensed in the State of California will have spent a minimum of 4 to 5 years in an accredited school to obtain an undergraduate degree. The Intern then spends at least three years working directly for a licensed Architect. The Intern will also have to successfully complete a series of difficult exams covering the diverse topics which comprise the practice of Architecture. At this point, an Intern will apply for licensure by the state.
Rarely will this newly licensed individual be in a position to design and administrate a large or complex project. It takes most Architects longer than the minimum criteria for licensing to practice Architecture effectively. In fact, there is so much to know and so much to keep current with, it is unrealistic to expect any Architect to "know it all" or be an expert about all things relating to buildings. I have found that people often have unrealistic expectations about what an Architect should be able to do or what the 'plans' he/she produces should include. That is a significant reason for this section of the website: to clear up as many misconceptions as possible.
Why hire an Architect instead of a drafter or designer?
There is no state or county recognition of or significance to the title "CBD" or Certified Building Designer. An individual who uses this suffix may be talented, but they are not qualified in the eyes of the state to legally submit for Building Permits where a Licensed Architect is required. There is no legal difference between a drafter, designer or Certified Building Designer, and there is no licensing agency to refer to. In fact, It is against the law to use the term "Architect" or "Architectural" unless you are licensed as an Architect by the state in which you are doing business.
Hiring an Architect will assure the client that a certain level of competency has been demonstrated and maintained. Most Architects specialize to some extent in what types of projects they design. An Architect who designs "Skyscrapers", for example, will have a considerably different skill set than an Architect who does primarily Residential projects.
Many architects don't actually design buildings. Especially in larger offices, there are licensed Architects who only produce Working Drawings, or process plans through government agencies, or write Specifications, or handle public relations and marketing or manage people in their firm. There are many types of Architects performing a whole variety of tasks, which is one reason there are many public misconceptions about what we do and don't do.
In smaller offices, we typically wear many hats. The firm owner will be actively involved with all the facets of the project and the functioning of the office. All the employees will similarly be exposed to, and become experienced with, the variety of responsibilities Architects encounter daily.
Architects are varied in their approach to design solutions, based on their experiences, abilities and design preferences. If you ask 10 different Architects to design you a home, you will have 10 different home designs! If you went to a Dentist, by contrast, and asked for a tooth filling, you know exactly what to expect and approximately what it will cost.
This variety of design approaches allows for a richer and more varied built environment. It allows for individual personal expression for the Client, based on which Architect they choose to assist them with their project. It allows for a certain mystique of Architects. It also contributes to misconceptions about the profession.
A client should choose an Architect he or she is comfortable working with and communicating with. Architecture is a service industry, and our ability to deliver that service to a Client's satisfaction is of primary importance. If there is a high level of trust, communication and understanding going into a project, there stands to be a better result when the project is finished.
No two sets of Plans are created equal. There are sets of plans for a new home that are very minimal, with generic details and scant information and then there are sets of plans which describe, in detail, every aspect of the new home right down to the most specific detail. Both of these sets of plans are regularly approved through the County of Monterey and both are issued the same Building Permit.
How can this be? There are minimum standards for plans, and minimum amounts of information that every set of plans must include, in order to get a Permit. Just as the Building Codes represent a minimum standard for construction allowed by law, plans too have to furnish a certain minimum of information.
One explanation lies in how the project is delivered, or built. Some projects are built from a "Builder Set" of plans that include only the minimum of information, since the Owner and/or Builder know exactly what they want in the final product. They want to spend the least amount possible on the Plans, because they are confident they can address the myriad of issues and choices that arise in the field. Others might ask an architectural firm to provide a complete Bid Package of Contract Documents which graphically details and specifies in writing every light fixture, cabinet detail, paint finish, drawer pull, lockset, and so on.
Ideally, when the Client begins the project, they have an understanding of what level of Plans they will require to complete their project. The incredibly thorough set of plans mentioned above might cost $100,000 to $200,000 to produce. This is not realistic for most Clients, and is likely unnecessary for most projects. Even this detailed set of plans will still require many decisions to be made in the field during construction.
There is no such thing as a perfect set of plans. Plans are time-consuming to produce and they are expensive, but they are not perfect. There is a concept called "Standard of Care" which an Architect is supposed to adhere to in the preparation of Working Drawings. This means that he or she will exercise the same standard of care as similar professionals practicing in the same area doing similar projects. It does not mean the plans are error free and they are never warranted to be such.
For this reason, the Owner and Contractor play critical roles in providing input as to the appropriateness of the information that is included on the plans or not included. It truly is a team effort to build something, and this process doesn't work well unless the whole team actively participates. We absolutely do strive for excellence in the preparation of plans and other documents, but we also recognize that the system of drawing something and then going out to build it is not perfect. There will invariably be adjustments, refinements and changes made 'in the field' as the built product takes shape.
It takes a good client to make good Architecture. This might suggest the financial commitment or the initial vision of the client, but it also suggests the willingness to make effective and timely decisions, to bring together the right team, and to see the process thru. There will almost always be surprises and changes as the project progresses. How these are handled plays a critical part in the success of the project.
What makes a successful project? For this practice, the answer is simple. If the Owner's needs and expectations are met and they are happy with the result, then we have succeeded.
What is CAD and why is it better?
CAD stands for Computer Assisted Design (or Drafting). The drawings we produce for building permits are first "drawn" on computer software and then printed out onto sheets of paper. CAD has significantly altered the manner in which we provide our services to clients. CAD allows for a level of precision in "drafting" heretofore unknown. Using the internet, Architects can also share these drawings with various Consultants, building departments and Clients. The theory is that if all the disciplines of the design team, such as Structural Engineers and Mechanical Engineers, are using the exact same base plan, then the resultant set of Working Drawings will be better coordinated.
There is also 3D Modeling, BIM, or Building Information Modeling, and various other computer driven tools used in our field. The profession has changed a great deal since the days of ink on linen. These new tools are exciting, but they are just that: tools. They don't replace the creativity of expression or the responsibility we have in our profession to assist our clients on their exciting process.

The Right Fit: Bring Temperament Into Talent Management Equation
Maj. Jamie Schwandt
Master Sgt. Anthony Livernois, USAR
What if the Army combined its current talent management approach, the Integrated Personnel and Pay System-Army, with temperament theory and the NFL draft? It sounds crazy, but it's worth discussing.
We can use the current system along with innovative ideas to combat negative perceptions regarding assignment selection and talent management. We could identify a more feasible solution for identifying talent best suited to fill vacancies throughout the Army.
In addition to the Integrated Personnel and Pay System-Army, known as IPPS-A, we could leverage evaluation reports and the promotion process for officers and NCOs. Evaluation reports, along with academic evaluation reports, already provide leaders with the ability to identify a soldier's strengths and position the soldier where they believe he or she will best serve. However, all too often, this input is not considered when the assignment selection process takes place. Instead, the first available and qualified soldier (based on MOS or skill identifier) is placed in a vacant slot or location.
To make matters worse, a critical vacancy will receive the first person with little to no input from the gaining command. We're not saying all assignment decisions are made this way. Positions such as inspector general, recruiter and drill sergeant, to name a few, require records screening to ensure individuals are ethically fit for such a position. However, this screening is a topical review of records and does not necessarily ensure the soldier is the right fit for the job.
Considering input from evaluations, coupled with additional elements already in promotion board processes, could feed into IPPS-A to identify temperament rankings using what the system is supposed to track regarding talent management: knowledge, behaviors and skills. These three elements could be used to develop a temperament equation, where knowledge times skills times behaviors equals temperament.

Understanding Yourself
In 2006, Linda V. Berens published a handbook called Understanding Yourself and Others: An Introduction to the 4 Temperaments. Berens pointed out that "people come in all varieties. We frequently say, he's the kind of person who ... or you know her type ... " Berens posited, "An understanding of your natural temperament pattern can give you the firm foundation to consciously change your behaviors without changing your core. It will give you the energy and confidence to expand beyond your natural self."
Berens evolved temperament theory and developed four temperaments: catalyst, stabilizer, theorist and improviser. Before examining each, let's discuss what Berens called the essential elements of temperament. She called them temperament targets.
Imagine the targets as the rings of a tree trunk. Start at the center (core) then work outward to the next ring (values), then to the next ring (talents), ending with behaviors. This outer region (behaviors) represents our interaction with our environment. Essentially, these are the targets.
Four Temperaments
Here are the four temperaments defined by Berens and how to identify which one you have:
1. Catalyst—You are skilled in diplomacy. You engage with others in a way that promotes their identity without losing your own identity.
Values: Empathetic relationships, self-actualization and an idealized world.
Talents: Diplomacy, mentor and champion.
Behaviors: Future-oriented, relationship-centered and idealistic.
2. Stabilizer—You are skilled in logistics. You prevent groups and institutions from falling apart.
Values: Roles, rules and regulations, as well as hierarchical structure and usefulness.
Talents: Rule-maker/enforcer, protector, supervisor or inspector.
Behaviors: Past-oriented, authority-centered and cautious.
3. Theorist—You are skilled in strategy. You understand and develop theories. This temperament provides the basis for mastery and competence.
Values: Scientific inquiry, concepts and ideas, and logical consistency.
Talents: Analysis, strategy and design or theorist.
Behaviors: Infinite time orientation, reasoning, forming hypotheses and objectives.
4. Improviser—You are skilled in tactics. You act in a way to get a result using whatever is at hand—the ultimate expression of the freedom to respond to the needs of the moment.
Values: Excitement and stimulation, action and immediate adventure, and variety.
Talents: Producer, adapter and crisis manager.
Behaviors: Present-oriented, fast reacting and risk-taker, cynical.

Proactively Search
In a September article, How the Army Could Improve Field Grade Command: Follow the NFL, Army strategist Lt. Col. Dan Sukman proposed methods to improve command selection through what he termed "Command Combines." The basis of this idea stems from what Sukman believes are two weaknesses in the command selection board process. While this idea has great potential for command selection, it does not address identifying talent within the ranks for numerous positions for officers, warrant officers, NCOs or enlisted soldiers at large. To implement such an undertaking for the wide array of assignments would not only be fiscally unattainable, but would also create significant delays in filling vacancies Armywide.
In keeping with Sukman's idea of "Command Combines," the Army could proactively search for suitable soldiers to fill projected vacancies. This would enable a human resources section to view soldiers' categorical rankings across the Army along with projected available dates. In addition, this would allow commands to contact candidates and conduct an interview process, then rank (and draft) their selections.
This ranking can be provided to the U.S. Army Human Resources Command and the commands can be slotted in a draft-style rotation like the NFL draft. However, unlike the NFL, where the worst team selects first, this draft would be based on the priority of the unit/command.
To keep the list for commands manageable, soldiers with only two years at their current duty assignment would be coded as unavailable. This method would only be implemented for routine assignments, coding all soldiers available for special assignment selections (like the supplemental draft in the NFL).
As commands can better determine the suitability of potential candidates to fill vacancies, the productivity and unit cohesion of the command would likely increase. Ensuring that a soldier understands expectations and is in a position that fits their temperament would reduce uncertainty and ambiguity between the command and the soldier. This would reduce the awkward acclimation period soldiers and families face. Soldiers would experience greater job satisfaction as they would be able to communicate their experiences and goals with a command during the interview process. This communication, along with the screening of knowledge times skills times behaviors from IPPS-A, would allow the soldier and command to determine if the soldier is the right fit.
What Position Do You Play?
We have combined four football positions with Berens' four temperaments. A soldier's temperament would be obtained through the IPPS-A equation: knowledge times skills times behaviors.
1. Quarterback: Catalyst
Seeks leadership roles, promotion and glory. The quarterback is someone who desires promotion to general or command sergeant major. They are gifted at leadership and mentorship and can help others realize their potential.
2. Offensive line: Stabilizer
Subject-matter expert and master of their craft. The offensive line is an expert in their field and does the actual work. They are the reason the pile can move forward.
3. Special team: Theorist
Specialized skill set and strategist. The special team prefers the strategic and analytical approach. They are also those with specialized skills and they must be masters of those skills, such as those found in medical and cyber occupations.
4. Running back: Improviser
Maverick and innovator, does not primarily seek promotion. The running back is someone who enjoys "stirring things up" to improve something. Or as Berens said, "They tend to be gifted at employing the available means to accomplish an end." These types of people are gifted at tactics and at reading situations.
The Army is a large organization with a heavy task of managing the talent in its formations. The current reactive system may not be filling assignments with the best possible soldiers, nor does it factor in temperament. Implementing a system that identifies the strengths soldiers possess in certain skills and temperaments, and implementing a draft policy among commands, will improve the productivity of soldiers within their respective commands. Allowing commands to proactively plan for personnel rotations will decrease turbulence during changeovers.
French novelist and playwright Honore de Balzac said, "Temperament is the thermometer of character." By factoring in temperament, we can essentially use it to fit the right person in the right position.

Private Employer Vaccine Mandate Moves Forward as Sixth Circuit Dissolves Fifth Circuit's OSHA ETS Stay

On December 17, 2021, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, which was chosen via lottery as the federal appellate court to decide whether the OSHA ETS, i.e., the private employer vaccine mandate, would go into effect, dissolved the stay that the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit had issued, allowing the vaccine or test mandate to move forward. Massachusetts Building Trades Council, et al. v. OSHA (6th Cir. Dec. 17, 2021).
As background, which you can also read about in our previous blog detailing the OSHA ETS, the OSHA ETS is the private employer vaccine mandate that applies to employers with 100 or more employees. Under the mandate, an employer has to implement either a mandatory vaccine policy for its employees or a vaccine or weekly testing and face covering policy for those employees who choose not to get vaccinated. While the original deadlines for employees to get vaccinated and employers to begin weekly testing of unvaccinated workers in the original ETS can no longer be met, this decision means that the clock will start ticking again, requiring employers to pick up their pencils and finalize their policies. Specifically, employers will have to draft their policies and comply with the notice and documentation provisions of the OSHA ETS by January 10 and implement vaccine or vaccine/testing requirements by February 9.
As for the merits of the decision itself, Judge Stranch delivered the opinion of the court and first addressed the scope of OSHA's statutory authority. OSHA has the authority to issue an emergency standard if necessary to protect workers from a "grave danger" by "exposure to substances or agents determined to be toxic or physically harmful or from new hazards." 29 U.S.C. § 655(c)(1). The court disagreed with the Fifth Circuit's interpretation of the phrases "substances or agents," "toxic or physically harmful," and "grave danger," and noted that the meanings of the phrases must be given a "holistic view of the language that Congress chose to include in its statutory authorization to OSHA." The court determined that an "agent" could include a "virus" and cited numerous statutes demonstrating OSHA's authority over infectious diseases.
Once the court decided OSHA had not exceeded its authority by issuing the ETS, it turned to the individual challenges to the OSHA ETS. OSHA is permitted to issue an emergency temporary standard, which takes "immediate effect" and serves as a "proposed rule" for a notice-and-comment rulemaking if it determines: (1) "that employees are exposed to grave danger from exposure to substances or agents determined to be toxic or physically harmful or from new hazards," and (2) that a standard "is necessary to protect employees from such danger." 29 U.S.C. § 655(c).
The court disagreed with the Fifth Circuit's position that the ETS was not prescribed on an emergency basis because it was not issued at the outset of the pandemic. In disagreeing, the court noted the progressive steps of the pandemic since its inception and the later availability of the vaccine and other effective tools to address the virus. Given the fact that COVID-19 "continued to spread, mutate, kill, and block the safe return of American workers to their job," the court found that the situation presented the required emergency.
The court then found that the pandemic presented the required "grave danger" and scolded the Fifth Circuit's reasoning on the issue, noting that under the Fifth Circuit's view, no situation could ever rise to the level of a grave danger. While most of the court's analysis was based on data OSHA presented, the court did tackle the sticky issue of COVID-19 existing outside the workplace. The court found that OSHA regulates hazards inside and outside the workplace and noted the voluminous evidence demonstrating that all workplaces, regardless of industry, were impacted by the pandemic and presented a heightened risk of exposure.
Next, the court found that the ETS was "necessary to protect employees from" the grave danger. The court reasoned that the necessity element exists because prior actions to curb the pandemic did not work and sadly noted:
With nothing left at his disposal to curb the transmission in the workplace, the Secretary issued the ETS….
Vaccinated employees are significantly less likely to bring (or, if infected, spread) the virus into the workplace. And testing in conjunction with wearing a face covering "will further mitigate the potential for unvaccinated workers to spread the virus at the workplace." … Based on the evidence relied on by OSHA, these measures will "protect workers" from the grave dangers presented by COVID-19 in the workplace. And OSHA is required to minimize a grave danger, even if it cannot eliminate it altogether.
(Citations omitted)
The court found no issue with the "100 or more employees" requirement noting that the ETS "will reach the largest facilities, where most deadly outbreaks of COVID-19 can occur" and that the threshold is consistent with other size thresholds in similar congressional and agency decisions, including standards issued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and under the Affordable Care Act.
One of the strongest arguments raised was the argument that the ETS was both "overinclusive" and "underinclusive," but the court found that neither applied because "OSHA may lean 'on the side of overprotection rather than underprotective" when promulgating an ETS."
The court found that OSHA was not overinclusive because it excluded workplaces where the risk was significantly lower, e.g., employees working exclusively outdoors, remotely from home, or where the employee does not work near others, and not underinclusive because it was focused first on the companies most capable of compliance.
The last challenge was a constitutional challenge claiming that the ETS violated the Commerce Clause. The Fifth Circuit had focused on the impacts to individuals and held that it fell within the States' police power. The court found that the Fifth Circuit "miss[ed] the mark" because the ETS regulates employers, not individuals"…and employers clearly engaged in commercial activity.
With respect to the last element, the court found that the "Petitioners had not shown that any injury from lifting the stay outweighed the injuries to the Government and the public interest."
With that, the Sixth Circuit has lifted the stay allowing the over 100 employee private employer vaccine mandate to move forward. The next challenge almost definitely will be to the Supreme Court.
Key Takeaways for Employers: While there is still more to be done before the OSHA ETS gets the full green light, including Supreme Court review, this is a surprising step. Surprising because both the federal contractor and health care mandates are stayed in some fashion, though all three mandate challenges are winding through the courts and will all likely end up before the Supreme Court.
Most importantly, employers must step into action as the clock on compliance is ticking, with the January 10 deadline right around the corner. In fact, just before midnight the evening the decision was rendered, OSHA updated its website after the ruling and noted that it:
[W]ill not issue citations for non-compliance with any requirements of the ETS before January 10 and will not issue citations for noncompliance with the standard's testing requirements before February 9, so long as an employer is exercising reasonable, good faith efforts to come into compliance with the standard.
This means that, at a minimum, employers should develop their COVID-19 workplace policy, notify employees of it, begin to document and track proof of employee vaccination status, and begin to determine how they are going to implement mask and test (if the employer opts for the hybrid option). In addition to the vaccine or vaccine/test policy that covered employers will have to implement, they will also have to determine how to implement the paid and unpaid time off requirements because employers must give employees paid time off to allow employees to get vaccinated and to recover from any vaccine side effects. Employers will also have to determine out how they are going to track, document, and retain all required information, including proof of vaccine status, weekly testing results, exemption status, reasonable accommodation status, interactive process dialogue/documentation, and infection/removal/quarantine status.
