Romanian Minister Says Cutting Funding For AIDS Programs can Help Organize More 'Shakespeare Festivals'
by Kathy Jones on December 10, 2013 at 8:55 PM AIDS/HIV News
Romanian Culture Minister Daniel Barbu's comments on the country's 'excessive' spending on AIDS programs have sparked outrage among health organizations.
"During debates on the 2014 budget I was shocked to discover that the budget earmarked for the fight against AIDS was half that devoted to all the programmes run by the culture ministry," Barbu said during a public debate.
He said that he did not want to sound cynical but "could not help wondering how many Shakespeare festivals could be organised if the (anti-AIDS) programme did not exist or if its budget was halved".
"Romania is not South Africa, nor does it count millions of people affected by this hideous scourge of our times," he said.
UNOPA, an association supporting people affected by HIV/AIDS, condemned the remarks as of "major offence to patients and to the experts fighting to save their lives".
"The minister blames patients for the lack of festivals and suggests the anti-AIDS programme should be abandoned, which would mean condemning these people, most of whom were infected in 1988-1990 by the health system," UNOPA said.
Under the Communist regime, which was toppled in December 1989, hundreds of babies were infected with HIV after transfusions with unscreened blood or injections with unsterilised needles.
UNOPA president Iulian Petre told AFP that 45 million euros ($61.7 million) went to the anti-AIDS programme in 2013, down from 52 million euros last year, which is "a far cry from the patients' needs".
He added that many patients are deprived of regular treatment because they cannot afford the weekly trips to city hospitals that administer anti-retrovirals.
Romania's health system suffers from a dramatic shortage of funds, with hospitals often lacking even the most basic of medicines.

This study analysed the role of socio-economic factors in influencing farmers' adoption to soil conservation technologies in Bugoye Sub-county, Rwenzori Mountain. A cross sectional household survey design was used in this study, using systematic sampling to obtain 150 household samples. Qualitative analysis and chi-square tests were used to analyze these data. Results indicated that only 54% of the sampled households have adopted soil conservation, and revealed that eight of the nine factors significantly influenced farmers' adoption, which are slope, farm size, farm distance from home, education level, family income, training, membership to NGOs, and credit accessibility. Only family size was insignificant. Other constraints are labour demands, cost of conservation work, land fragmentation, crop pests, and the limited agricultural extension services. It is recommended to perform training for farmers on designing soil conservation structures. Policies for empowering farmers with extra income are crucial to increase the adoption of soil conservation efforts.

A little over a year after Penn State Freshman Timothy Piazza passed away following a fall at an alcohol-fueled promise party, a Pennsylvania legislator is proposing a significant overhaul of the state's hazing laws. With the late Hunterdon County, N.J., teenager's parents by his side Friday afternoon, Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman revealed the new anti-hazing expense on the actions of the Centre County Courthouse throughout a break in the initial hearing for the fraternity members charged in connection with Piazza's death. " Jim and Evelyn Piazza have taken what is an offensive catastrophe – their very personal heartbreak – and carried it into what will be the complete anti-hazing law in the country," Corman, R-Centre, stated. "They are driven by the memory of Tim, moved by the desire to make specific that no other child passes away as part of some persuaded and misdirected initiation rite."
In 2017, there were 4 hazing-related deaths in the United States at fraternities.
The proposed costs increase charges for all those associated with hazing, making serious hazing a felony, and needs schools to report all infractions of the anti-hazing policies Corman's expense would mandate. The expense also offers amnesty from prosecution on charges of hazing and minor drinking to somebody looking for help for somebody in need, like Piazza. A forensic pathologist affirmed Friday that Piazza's injuries may not have been deadly if fraternity members had summoned help faster. On Feb. 2, 2017, Piazza, 19, of Readington Township, participated in Beta Theta Pi's promise party, where he apparently ran "the onslaught" – a hazing routine where he took in 18 beverages in 82 minutes – before falling head-first down the basement stairs. It apparently took fraternity members 12 hours to call 9-1-1.
" He has a far better chance at survival, if they brought him from the basement, acknowledged what's going on," and called an ambulance, Dr. Harry Kamerow affirmed. "If he's very near that period, he's got a great shot. As time hands down, his diagnosis grows dimmer and dimmer and dimmer." By the time Piazza came to Hershey Medical Center, it was approximated 80 percent of his body's blood supply remained in his abdominal area. He has removed life assistance on Feb. 4, 2017.
" Had this law remained in place before, I wish to think we would not be here today. We are enthusiastic this expense makes it way through the Pennsylvania legislature and is put in the hands of Gov. Tom Wolf for signing on a sped up basis," Jim and Evelyn Piazza stated in a declaration. "We are also enthusiastic that this expense will become the design for state laws throughout the nation so that people reconsider before dedicating these criminal activities." Timothy Piazza apparently taken in 18 beverages in 82 minutes, before falling head-first down the basement stairs.
Corman's costs produces tiers of hazing. It begins with a small summary offense, like loitering, that usually just brings a fine to a felony charge for hazing that leads to major injury or death. If the law was in result when Piazza passed away, members of the fraternity might have been charged with felony hazing– proposed to bring a charge of as much as 7 years in jail and a fine of as much as $15,000. Friday's new conference happened throughout a break in a hearing for 11 of the 26 previous Beta Theta Pi siblings charged in connection with Piazza's death. The boys waived their right to participate in the hearing, which will identify if there's enough proof to send out the cases to trial.
District attorneys are not pursing worsened attack charges, which had been the most major accusations. But 5 accused deal with uncontrolled murder charges. Other accusations consist of hazing, careless endangerment, conspiracy and alcohol offenses.
The Piazzas stated they stood Friday with blended feelings.
" Our feelings are blended because as much as our company believe in the need for this legislation, the very factor that we are here advises us of how much our life has been affected over the previous 13 months as an outcome of hazing," the family stated in the declaration. "I, naturally, am speaking about the death of our child Tim as an outcome of the outright hazing and neglect for human life at the hands of the very people that he was wanting to become pals with." The proposal develops classifications of organizational and institutional hazing, which would enable district attorneys to charge groups that take part in hazing, like Beta Theta Pi, along with the institution of higher learning where the hazing took place. " We want this to be a design for developing and enhancing anti-hazing laws nationwide," Corman stated. "With this proposal, trainees will have the tools they need to make educated options about the groups they think about signing up with in addition to safeguards so they can make great choices in times of distress.".
If a company understands about hazing and not does anything to stop it or promotes it, it can be charged under the hazing tiers. If condemned, the court might require the company to surrender property associated with the offense, like a fraternity house. A university, like Penn State, guilty of hazing offenses might deal with a fine of approximately $5,000 and worsened hazing would bring a fine of as much as $15,000. " The Corman expense provides police the tools we need to hold trainees responsible when they take part in hazing that leads to the death or major physical injury of a fellow schoolmate, as unfortunately taken place in the death of Tim Piazza in 2015," state Attorney General Josh Shapiro stated. In the wake of Piazza's death, Penn State has prohibited Beta Theta Pi from school and 13 other Greek companies have been suspended for security offenses.

Disabled son couldn't get to school after DWP cut benefits claims dad
Reece Cameron, 10, struggles to walk even a few feet without being in pain
Fionnula HaineyNews Reporter
A distraught Coventry dad claims his disabled son was left unable to get to school after their benefits were cut.
Reece Cameron, aged 10, had his Disability Living Allowance (DLA) stopped when the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) was wrongly informed that he was taking part in PE lessons, his dad claims.
Mark Russell, Reece's dad, told CoventryLive that Reece has never taken part in PE and struggles to walk even a few feet without being in discomfort.
Mr Russell, from Alderman's Green, had his mobility vehicle taken away as a result of the benefits being stopped, and could do longer get his son to school, or even get to the supermarket.
"From my house to the school is too far for him to walk, that's why we've got the vehicle. We need the mobility car to get him to school and now I've got no transport at all," Mr Russell said.
"How do they have the right to take this away from my son?"
Mark Russell with his son Reece Cameron, aged 10, who was left unable to go to school when the DWP cut his benefits
Reece, a pupil at Alderman's Green Primary School, has a condition which affects his legs and feet.
His dad says he has one foot larger than the other, and one leg longer than the other, and walking causes him great pain.
Reece has also been recovering from a major operation earlier this year, which his dad says left him with four-inch scars on his feet.
Kept at home
Mr Russell said he was forced to keep Reece at home for a week after his benefits were cut by the DWP and he lost his transport.
He claims Reece's school mistakingly told the DWP that Reece was now regularly doing PE, despite doctors confirming there had been no change in his condition.
Mr Russell was then given a letter from the school stating this is not the case, which was sent to the DWP as part of an appeal against their decision.
The DWP has since told CoventryLive that Reece's benefits will be reinstated following a reassessment.
The school has also been providing taxis to take Reece to and from school while the appeal goes through.
However Mr Russell, who has three other children, says he has been left stranded without the use of a car.
Mark Russell with his son Reece Cameron, aged 10, who was left unable to travel to school when the DWP cut his benefits
"I can't even get from A to B," he said. "How am I supposed to get Reece to his hospital appointments without a car? The bus stop is too far from our house for him to walk to.
"It's been the same all his life, he can't walk without being in discomfort straight away.
"He looks like a normal kid, but people don't see what it's actually like for him.
"It hurts as a parent - as his dad."
What did the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) say?
A spokesperson for the DWP said: "We're committed to ensuring that disabled people get the support they're entitled to and we are continuing to support Reece with Disability Living Allowance payments.
"Decisions for DLA are made following consideration of all the information provided, including supporting evidence from a GP or medical specialist.
"Following his reassessment, we updated Reece's payments based on new evidence supplied.
"If a parent or guardian disagrees with the decision made, they can appeal to an independent tribunal which is entirely separate from the DWP."
What did the school say?
A spokesperson for Alderman's Green Primary School said: "Whilst we don't comment on individual pupils, our priority as a school is to provide all the support we can to enable all our pupils to access and thrive at school, which we are doing here.
"This includes doing what we can to help parents in difficult circumstances and, where appropriate, supporting applications and appeals and assisting with transport to ensure our children can attend school."

Hedge funders race go-carts for charity
Martin B. Cassidy, Staff Writer
Published 10:16 pm EST, Sunday, November 7, 2010

The event was divided into 2 races: a 3-hour race with 30 teams featuring up to 8 drivers on rotation, and a 45-minute Iron Man endurance test with 26 drivers racing without relief.

STAMFORD -- Hedge fund workers, bankers, and other high-speed aficionados zipped around Columbus Park Sunday during a three-hour endurance go-kart race to support groups that fight child abuse.
Phil Riggio, a 40-year-old banker, and five others made up Team Awesome, sponsored by the Manhattan-based investment bank Rodman & Renshaw.
Riggio, a Darien resident, said he had not raced go-karts since he was 13, but the group of novices hoped to make a good showing.
"Some of these guys look really serious with their custom-made suits, but we're hoping to win," Riggio said.
About 30 teams competed in the endurance race at the first Stamford Grand Prix, organized by Grand Prix New York, which runs a go-kart track in Mount Kisco, N.Y., with drivers steering 6 ½- and 9-horsepower go-karts around the park.
The race raised roughly $10,000 for Hedge Funds Care, a child abuse treatment and prevention organization supported by the hedge fund industry.
The race halted at several points when several drivers spun out, and was stopped for about 30 minutes at noon out of deference as the city's annual Veterans Day Parade passed by.
Jeff Holdgrafer and Bill Weber, executives for Cambridge International Securities in Westport, said they were excited to enjoy outdoor time on a Sunday.
"We're really the rookies here," Holdgrafer said. "But this is for a good cause and a way to get everybody out and spending some time together."
Black Forest Racing, a team of two professional race car drivers, Tom Nastasi, 47, of Stamford, and J.F. Doumelin, of Montreal, Canada, won the 9-horsepower vehicle category. The 6 ½ horsepower category was won by Team Zerose.
Nastasi said race car driving skills are applicable to go-kart racing, but the relative crampedness of the go-kart track may actually make it more challenging.
"Everything is still coming at you just as fast if not faster because of the size of the car versus the track," said Nastasi, who owns Black Forest Motor Sports of De Land, Fla. "There were a lot of good karters out there today ... a lot of bumping and banging."
Ewan Johnson, 12, of Darien, who raced in a 9-horsepower car with a group of children sponsored by their parents, said the endurance race was challenging.
"This is a faster car than I've driven in the past," Johnson said. "It was a little crazy but I got used to it."
Hedge Funds Care spokeswoman Sarah Blaker said the group was founded in 1998 by Tom Davis, a former teacher who was working in the hedge fund industry and saw a need for greater support for groups that treated and fought child abuse.
Since then, the group has raised more than $23 million for mostly small community-based organizations that deal with the social problem, raising money in eight U.S. cities, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the Cayman Islands, Blaker said.
Steve Diciacco, owner of the Ridgefield-based Preferred Electrical, which raced a five-man team, said he and his staff go-kart about once a month, which helps bond his staff.
"This is a really fun sport and it's for a great cause," Diciacco, 56, said.

Our company resolved to create a precision instrument that would provide the best ranging and aiming solutions all in one device. The objective was to make a quality product and a more efficient system by which a shooter could acquire a target range, automatically receive a target marker for that range and thereby quickly and efficiently take the shot. Thus resulting in a more precise shot for target shooters and a more ethical shot for hunters!
Watch the BOWRANGER RASp1 INTRO Here . . .
Ranging is very important in order for the shooter to know the distance to a particular target. Various ways to get a distance to a target are determined by estimating, pre-measuring, using a bracketing system for a certain distance and finally the more recent use of a laser range finding device. Hand held rangefinders are allowed for determining accurate distances to your intended target, but more movement and time is required. Having a rangefinder and bow sight combined into one unit helps to eliminate unnecessary movement and gives the shooter an accurate marker for the intended target.
Shooting the arrow requires that the shooter release the bow string held in his anchored position allowing the arrow to fly toward the intended target. The steps required to get to this step have generally taken hours of preparation and practice. The results of where the shooter places the arrow within the target are explained by several principles that include knowing the distance to the target and having the correct marker for that distance. Two issues that cause a shooter to miss a target are incorrectly estimating the distance to the target and movement prior to the shot that are spotted by the target. Having the correct distance with very little movement and a marker for that distance allows the shooter to make a more ethical shot.

John Krasinski Is Working on 'A Quiet Place Part III'
Matt Singer Published: February 16, 2022
As part of an investor presentation that saw ViacomCBS officially rebrand itself as Paramount (it was previously just the name of the company's movie studio), John Krasinski offered news that horror fans have been waiting to hear: He is working on A Quiet Place Part III.
You will have to wait to see it for a while, though. Krasinski is next directing another project called IF that's due out in theaters in the fall of 2023. A Quiet Place Part III would happen after that; it's currently scheduled for release in 2025, more than half a decade after A Quiet Place Part II was shot. (Although the film was released in the spring of 2021, it was filmed well before that. Part II had its world premiere on March 8, 2020, right before the pandemic shut down the movie industry, and then sat on the shelf for a year until theaters reopened.)
According to Deadline, this film is not the previously announced Quiet Place spinoff, also based on an idea by Krasinski, that is being developed by Michael Sarnoski, the director of the recent Nicolas Cage film Pig. There haven't been any details about what that project entails, or how it differs from A Quiet Place Part III but it's probably safe to assume that the characters who've appeared in the previous two movies, including Emily Blunt's Evelyn and Millicent Simmonds' Regan, would return in Part III, while Sarnoski's spinoff will involve new characters somehow.
The two Quiet Place movies have grossed nearly $650 million worldwide; both were co-written and directed by Krasinski. They are currently available to stream on Paramount+.

As you and your friends put on "urban design glasses" and explore your community for the Walkshop, here's some food for thought.
It starts with people. Who uses this area of your community? What draws them there? Different people are there for different purposes at different times of the day and the week. Different age groups experience a neighborhood or part of town differently. What might cause people of all kinds to walk several blocks? The answers involve both design and human behavior.
Ground level visual interest. An example: a block lined with engaging retail shops or restaurants with sidewalk tables seems a lot shorter than one lined with parking lots, vacant or windowless buildings.
Relief from weather. People want shade in summer, and sun in winter. People want shelter from rain and snow.
Sense of safety. A complex set of factors contribute to it.
•Moving cars can be dangerous to pedestrians, especially those who aren't as frisky as they once were. Where there is physical or psychological separation from moving traffic there is likely to be more pedestrian activity.
•Dark can also add to anxiety. In addition to municipal street lighting, observe how lights from store windows and signs add to the ambience (and sense of safety) downtown after dark.
Connections / Barriers. Sidewalks, pathways, trails connect features and destinations. Barriers can be physical: fences, barricades, dead ends are examples; or psychological: underpasses, elevated highways, un-shoveled winter sidewalks, wide arterial streets for instance. To lengthen the pedestrian experience beyond ¼ to ½ mile, the presence of easy to use, frequent transit can be another connection.
Cleanliness. Walkable environments are clean. There are trash and garbage receptacles, and streets and sidewalks are frequently swept clean.
Destinations. People will walk several blocks to a destination (if the route is interesting). The destination could be a restaurant for lunch, a park with seating and programming, an event at the Arena, a museum, farmers market, street art fair, an office or shop.
Beautiful landscaping. Green spaces, street trees, well-maintained plantings all add to the attractiveness of downtown at the pedestrian level.
Water and Art. Water features – rivers, fountains, pools, and outdoor sculpture and art installations can add to downtown's attractiveness and "walkable urbanity." Public art is already a presence in downtown. Wichita's extensive downtown river banks invite imagination!
Neighbors and People. For downtown residents, doing errands on foot, walking the dog, bumping into friends along the way are all part of the attraction of living in the center of things. The more there is to see and do, the better the connections, the fewer the barriers, the more attractive downtown will become as a place to live as well as to work or shop.
While Walkshops focus on a range of issues from housing, to economic development, to parks and public spaces, a logical and common theme is walkability. The following piece written by Mary Means, formerly with Mainstreet America, talks about what makes a community walkable.

Art of Animation: If you're looking for over-the-top theming right down to the shower curtain, this is your pick. Murals on the outside of the buildings as well as water features at the pool give you a sense of submersion. With the opportunity to pick the theme that suits your children best, the cartoonish rooms appeal to youngsters. Suites give you two bathrooms versus just one in a fort cabin and its pool offers more than the fort's for kids but it lacks dining experiences and does not offer the full stable of resort activities that you'll find at Fort Wilderness.
Fort Wilderness: The subtle nod to Disney's rustic side lives here. Staying in a cabin gives your boys plenty of room to run outside and the full kitchen is a step up from the microwave and mini-fridge at AOA. Chip 'n' Dale's Campfire Singalong is just one of the activities at the resort that also has a marina with a ferry directly to the Magic Kingdom. With Trail's End, the Hoop Dee Doo Revue and Mickey's Backyard BBQ all housed at this resort, there's much you can enjoy outside of the parks.
The decision comes down to how much time you see yourself spending at your resort and whether your children--and you--could benefit from the relaxed atmosphere of the fort versus the continuation of the theme park animation at AOA. Keep in mind that your children will only be young for so long to enjoy AOA and you can enjoy the fort later. But know that regardless of your decision, you'll be pleased with either.

D'Tigress ready for another showdown with sports ministry, NBBF over unpaid allowances, bonuses
The D'Tigress are set for another round of showdown following the failure of the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports Development and the Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF) to pay allowances and bonuses owed them,
It will be recalled in October last year, the players accused Caretaker Chairman of the NBBF, Musa Ahmadu-Kida, of neglecting the team during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and the 2021 Afrobasket – which they won.
The team also accused the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development and the NBBF of withholding their bonuses and allowances since the 2018 FIBA Women's World Cup in Tenerife, Spain as well as the $100,000 donated to them just before the Olympics, totalling $197,118.
Shortly after that, the Ministry of Sports made attempts to resolve the dispute between the players and former board of Nigeria Basketball Federation led by Ahmadu Musa Kida over bonuses and money donated by corporate organisations in Nigeria ahead of the 2020 Olympics Games in Tokyo, Japan, the players rejected the proposed part payment of debts owed them, insisting on receiving all their entitlements.
The African champions in a New Year message shared on the social media said the Sports ministry and the Nigeria Basketball Federation are yet to pay them as promised and has threatened not to be a part of the World Cup qualifiers in Serbia if the outstanding allowances and bonuses were not paid to players and officials in full.

"Since the conclusion of the hearing at the beginning of November, no line of communication or responses have been received by D'Tigress from the House, Sports Ministry nor Musa Kida concerning repayment of debts.
"More than 7 weeks have elapsed since the chairman's decision for the former NBBF president, Musa Kida to settle the players and officials ' debt of D'Tigress, while the ministry completes the Olympic training grant balance, yet no engagement.
"We are sending a reminder to all involved including the Sports Ministry, the former NBBF president, Musa Kida, the House of Representatives and FIBA concerning these debts. Adaora Elonu our representative can be a bridge for communication, however, no official communication has been established through her either.
"With the FIBA World Cup qualifiers approaching in Serbia, we stand our ground and will not be scrambled into competition in last minute," they declared.

Exciting news today! My labels arrived from The Dutch Label Shop and I love them. I'm going to use them on my quilts. All I have to do is add a date to them with permanent fabric pen. I've also been thinking about opening an Etsy store with some of my craft items and these labels could also be used for these items. I also bought some of the tags that I can attach care instructions to. Ideas are still developing in my head but it's something I've been thinking about for a while. I really just need to nut out what I want to sell and how much I want to sell it for.
This week has been all about the charity quilt, which I have now finished all the blocks for. I still have to sew them together and add the borders before it is ready to quilt. I have laid it out on the bed in my guest room so I can go back and look at it every now & then & see where I want to change blocks around. I'll start sewing it all together at my sewing night at Laneway Quilts.
Apart from this quilt I haven't done much other sewing. This evening I attached the Dresden plate I've been working on, to the background fabric. I love it except that you can see the ends of the plates sitting behind the centre circle. I've decided to embellish the centre circle to try & disguise this. I'm going to embroider little vines and maybe flowers over it. I haven't decided whether to do it by machine or hand as yet. So I've learnt my lesson with this – to always use really good fabric and/or a bit of stabiliser behind it. Oh well, it's my first go at the Dresden plate so I'm pretty pleased.
I have finished prepping for the 2nd block of the Homespun BOM and am about to start the clamshells. It's so pretty and I'm getting to try my hand at a lot of different things. I have also been practicing my free motion quilting. I figure if I can get the hang of it on my domestic machine then I can buy the Handiquilter Sweet Sixteen but if I can't then I'm going to have to splash out on the Amara Long Arm Quilter. So far, I'm crap but I've only had a couple of practices, so I'll persevere and see how it goes.
Lastly, I've been fitting in a bit of knitting every morning before work and sometimes before bed. My scarf and socks are coming along nicely and I've done two more crochet patterns. I'm really enjoying expanding my crochet repertoire.
Well that's all for now. Have a great week!

World Without Hierarchy
Play Yourself!
Org Structure
Mark Cruth
Session 1: Scan Agile 2019
The first workshop on "A World Without Hierarchy" was held on March 13, 2019 in Helsinki, Finland at the annual Scan Agile conference. With 26 participants, we spent two hours exploring what the future of work would be like at ReimagineCorp. Given the scenario and the time frame, the group came up with 13 unique experiments for how to move an organization from hierarchical to distributed. Some experiments are more fleshed out than others, but the purpose is to use these to inspire your own experiments!
Experiment 1: Dealing with Laws and Regulations
Background: How do you fulfill laws and regulations? Who is responsible if the company doesn't follow the laws?
Hypothesis: We believe if teams are responsible for fulfilling the law, lawyers share knowledge, and the CEO should change every day...this change will result in everyone being interested in taking care of the law...we'll know this to be true when there are no legal charges made against the company.
Experiment Details: None provided.
Experiment 2: Using Money
Background: How do we use money within the company?
Hypothesis: We believe if teams can buy services from other teams (internal marketplace)...this change will result in profitable teams and a better understanding of how fund are used...we'll know this to be true when teams take ownership over their own spending.
Experiment Details: Identify two teams to experiment on.
Experiment 3: Giving Direction
Background: Nothing happens in an organization when there is no one to tell others what to do. How do we handle this?
Hypothesis: We believe that the customer is king and employees need to find their place, interest, and ways of working in relations with the customer...this change will result in happy customers, engaged employees, and higher profit...we'll know this to be true when everyone still wants to work for the company, everyone gets their salaries, and customers still want to buy.
Experiment Details: Pilot with three customers and teams to validate approach.
Experiment 4: Making Decisions
Background: How do we make decisions?
Hypothesis: We believe decisions should made by those who are affected by the decision and that anyone can initiate a decision...this change will result in smaller decisions being made faster and people will be involved in decisions concerning them...we'll know this to be true when better decisions are made, revenue increases, and people are happier.
Experiment Details: Experiment with Holacracy and look at how the company Supercell has implemented it.
Experiment 5: Informing Employees of Change
Background: Employees don't know how things are changing, how decisions are made, and what decisions are made?
Hypothesis: We believe if we inform teams about what has been decided using a Slack Channel...this change will result in everyone having the possibility to get information about decisions being made...we'll know this to be true when no more emails are received complaining about poor visibility to decision making.
Experiment Details: Try using Slack to inform a small group of teams of decisions, then expand to more teams.
Experiment 6: Compensating Different People
Background: How do we compensate different people?
Hypothesis: We believe if teams decide how to compensate themselves (as a team)...this change will result in everyone understanding how they are compensated and feeling they are compensated fairly...we'll know this to be true when complaints about compensation disappear.
Experiment Details: Pilot with a team where they create their own criteria for how salaries are defined and allow them to follow the criteria.
Experiment 7: Email Communication
Background: Everyone is using company-all email distribution lists because the hierarchical distribution lists do not work anymore.
Hypothesis: We believe if the organization moves to instant communication tools like chat systems, information radiators, and collaboration platforms (e.g. Yammer)...this change will result in less internal email and people using more modern communication tools...we'll know this to be true when no one complains about too many emails.
Experiment 8: What Does It Mean To Be "Flat"
Background: People are confused about what it means to move to a flat organization structure.
Hypothesis: We believe people will be less confused, be able to co-create the change, and have a better understanding when they get to play an ARG (Alternate Reality Game) about moving to a flat organization...this change will result in conducting multiple workshops around the world that create concrete ideas, suggestions and experiments to run..we'll know this to be true when better quality ideas emerge, less confusion exists, more clarity on the change is present, and there is generally less uncertainty.
Experiment Details: Run one ARG workshop with a team and measure impact.
Experiment 9: Decision Making Without Managers
Background: How to make decisions when there are no managers making the decisions?
Hypothesis: We believe teams should decide on matters affecting only the team and anybody can drive a decision on matters affecting many teams but they must seek advice from all affected parties...this change will result in increased autonomy, faster decision making, and better decisions will be made...we'll know this to be true when decisions are made at the right time by the right people.
Experiment Details: Decisions have to be made transparent to everyone. All information on decisions need to be made available to everyone. Major decisions need to be discussed with all constituents.
Experiment 10: Retain People Against Change
Background: With this change we need to form operational/functional teams for the flat organization. Some people won't like this change. How do we retail people and have career development for them?
Hypothesis: We believe self-organization won't happen automatically so we must change the perception of career development from traditional to what an individual does (skill based) using a franchising model...this change will result in individual units being responsible for themselves and will feed more ownership...we'll know this to be true when the retention rate is the same or higher than previous years.
Experiment Details: Choose a test group that has the necessary cross-functional elements/skills. Give members of the team responsibility for the unit to make decisions on what they need (skills). Allow teams to "Buy" support functions from other teams.
Experiment 11: Legal Signatures
Background: Who can sign on legal matters?
Hypothesis: We believe someone needs to be made the puppet signer (signer in name only...will only sign what a committee tells them to sign)...this change will result in still having a single signer but ensure group consent...we'll know this to be true when the company is able to meet legal requirements of having a single signer without giving the person too much power.
Experiment Details: Create a committee that assigns someone to the role of puppet signer. This individual has the ability to sign legal documents in the name of the company (ex. CEO). The puppet signer can only sign what the committee gives them to sign.
Experiment 12: Prioritization
Background: How to ensure the continuation of business? How do we prioritize incoming requests?
Hypothesis: We believe there should be a committee of people prioritizing incoming request to a dynamic backlog...this change will result in cooperation from teams and requests not being lost...we'll know this to be true when the customers feel happy and satisfied with the results of the requests.
Experiment Details: Create a committee of delegates from all business units. Create a common backlog and dot vote all incoming work for priority.
Experiment 13: Salary and Raises
Background: How to handle salaries and raises?
Hypothesis: We believe all salaries and raises should be decided by a company wide algorithm/AI...this change will result in open discussions on salaries and raises...we'll know this to be true when people do not quit due to salary problems and employees are more satisfied with their salary and raises.
Experiment Details: Make all information on employee salaries and raises open and create an algorithm that looks at individual contributions.

I'd have the IM waiting in the wings of course.
In some ways, I regret ever doing DL in the first place. I did MTL for the first few months of the journey and rather enjoyed it. Just the break-off from analogs alone was fantastic. But it tasted good, of course. And I was satisfied. I was, of course, trained to 'evolve' into the hot trend- subohm DL. And as such, I really was more or less forced into it, since I knew so little about vaping and sort of assumed it was the way everyone's trajectory went. Looking back, honestly, I never would have tried it. I would be a little toodler like you and happy as a little clam. Man, the cost and maintenance savings are fantastic, and worth the re-training. But I won't force it if the enjoyment factor never recovers.
I am going to clean up and rebuild the deck of the Big Buddha for a target of about 14J. I will have the IM ready next to me if I need it. Wish me luck!
I not only wish you luck TW - but if you seriously attempt to do it you will get all the encouragement possible from the folk on this forum. I know Don and Paul will be around for advice and I will have the forms all ready for you to join the Toodle Club. Seriously though if you give it a go the encouragement you will get will surprise you - take a shot at it - you really have little to lose.
It's been so long since I used other atty's that I made a mistake, and built on the Boreas instead. Airflow isn't suited to MTL, forgot about that. Sigh.
Don't rush into TW - get yourself prepared - mentally - it will be difficult at first to change.

Funny thing is that when I made the commitment to toddle again it was a very natural transition. I just put down my series mods and picked up my provaris. And wondered why I had ever put the provaris down in the first place? Now I've really tweaked my style of toodling. I use four very small devices - two with nautilus 2s, one pod with coils (breeze) and one with a small tank (jwell passy). My other devices are all devices that could go up anywhere from 60 -230 watts. I just vape them at 13 - 20 watts.
We will all be glad to help TW. Think of getting a nice tank that takes coils and a nice RTA. That will help you get started.
I don't expect a difficult time physically at all. I can get that done fine. I just need to learn to live without the fog machine.
You want the berserker RTA - single coil though ... up to 4.5 ml (you get two tanks with it). You want to MTL - no need for dual coils. For a tank with prebuilt coils get the vika fantasy and use the nautilus .7 ohm coil.
If you have the money the Rose 3 RTA is super. And the Kabuki tank is super.
Honestly my go to RTA is the Hurricane Jr. and my go to pre built is the Nautilus 2 (I do use my Kabuki and Vika Fantasy a lot too). However the Berserker just might replace the hurricane on one of my mods. Hurricane Jr. clones are actually quite good. And you can do a modified DTL on them. In fact they are more a light DTL than an MTL. The SXK and the SMJY are both decent. Not that I don't have an authentic but you know ... I cannot tell the difference - the clones are that good.
I don't understand the fascination of dual coils. Even when I occasionally use a dripper I prefer ones that can take a single coil (even if it is a .15 - .2 ohm single). I don't have any RTAs other than my EVL reaper that take dual coils now that I can MTL. I have 30ml tanks with dual coils of course. But like I said - I rarely use them these days. They just sit on a mod and look pretty.
The only thing I liked about DL was the airflow. Uwell Crown tank with the airflow fully opened has no resistance at all. It's like you're breathing vape. But everything else was just not for me.
Cigarettes calmed me down. So, calmness is what I really want from my vape experience; tranquility. Working the vapor to my mouth, my nose, and my lungs, is what I want. Something I can't really do on DL.
I am not judging anyone, I never judge, especially about vaping. If your style of vaping makes you stay away from smoking, you must be more than happy!
I've also reached a stage where I don't vape as high wattage as I used to. At least, not as often. I really enjoy cloud chasing, but lately I care much more about flavor and, let's be honest, the nicotine since things have been a bit stressful for a while. I used to vape 100W or higher almost all the time. Now I rarely go above 50W, with 6mg juice instead of 3mg. That's what's working for me right now. I'm still a DL vaper and I doubt I could go back to exclusive MTL, but it's been strange to notice myself vaping at lower wattage and using less juice without even meaning to do so.
The biggest trepidation I have is going to MTL style. Regardless of wattage, it just isn't the lungfull that DL is. What I did do, for the meantime until I decide if I'm getting an MTL atty, is build a straight 28/40 Clapton parallel at .5 ish ohms, 28w. It's still a free draw, but with reduced power. Maybe a compromise is the best I will be able to accommodate.

Historian and Photographer Capture Michigan Architecture in New Book
By Drew Howard|2018-05-03T09:57:29-04:00May 1st, 2018|Guides, Home|
Thirty-four of Michigan's most stunning architectural gems are on full display in the new book "Michigan Modern: An Architectural Legacy," a passion project of author Brian D. Conway and photographer Jim Haefner that took more than two years (and a few stealthy drone shots) to document.
Conway and Haefner offered insight into their work during a presentation on April 25 at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Detroit. Together, they detailed the history behind dozens of the book's 227 photographs as well as Michigan's influence on architecture at large.
"A lot of people ask how we came up with 34 buildings and complexes, and that was a real tough part of this whole project," Conway told the audience. "We wanted geographic distribution across the state, and we wanted to represent Michigan architects, but also include those iconic properties of architects who came to Michigan to do their work."
"We picked the best," Haefner said. "This project was a dream assignment. I've been a photographer for 40 years, and this was definitely the culmination of that time period."
In documenting the highlights of Michigan's architecture, which includes the work of legends like Frank Lloyd Wright, Eero Saarinen, George Nelson and Alexander Girard, among others, Conway and Haefner were often forced to problem solve at photo-shoots. This sometimes meant stripping a building of its banners and decorations, or even cutting down a tree for the sake of framing.
Haefner at other times had to work around Mother Nature, specifically natural lighting. He spent two days trying to capture light coming through the windows at Frank Lloyd Wright's Dorothy Turkel House in Detroit, an L-shaped house that represents Usonian Automatic design. The Turkel House is the only Wright-designed building in Detroit's city limits.
Conway and Haefner aimed to give readers an exclusive looks of locations that aren't readily available to the public. At the Douglas House in Harbor Springs, Haefner rode in a helicopter over Lake Michigan to showcase the contrast of the home sleek, white exterior against the lakefront woodlands.
And at the General Motors Technical Center in Warren, a Eero Saarinen construction featured on the cover of the book, the duo utilized drone photography to capture the immense scale of the center in a way that very few have done before.
"I had been trying to get permission for a couple years to fly a drone there – there's a lot of secrecy, which is why it's not open to the public," Haefner said. "You'll see blinds are drawn in the design building so I couldn't take a picture of what's happening."
Other locations featured in the book include the McLucas House, the Hawkins Ferry House, the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, McGregor Memorial Conference Center, and Lafayette Park, among many others.
"Michigan Modern: An Architectural Legacy" along with its predecessor "Michigan Modern: Design that Shaped America" is available on Amazon for purchase. For more information about the Michigan Modern project, please visit michiganmodern.org.
