Well, Blackout was a surprise! After reading Roadkill, I was expecting dark and downright bloody. Instead Rob Thurman takes Cal and the reader on a trip to Neverland. Yes you heard right, it is Peter Pan all over again. The boy who didn't want to grow up and forgets his family because it's so much fun and easier to live a "let's pretend" life, than it is to live with reality. Thurman even reprises her own version of the land of "lost boys."
The story begins with Cal waking up alone on a deserted beach gripping a handgun, a bunch of dead, giant spiders around him and no memory of whom he is, where he is or why he's there. The one thing Cal knows for sure is that he's a killer and that there are monsters in the world -- the gun, the blood, his cool reflexes and the dead spiders prove it. But is he a good killer or a bad one? He searches for this answer throughout the whole story.
Eventually Cal finds out that he is in Nevah Landing, a small town in South Carolina. He is sure he doesn't belong, but although lost and with no memories something tells him he's supposed to be there. Our boy Cal winds up working as a waiter on a diner with Mrs. Terrwyn as her boss, and constantly attempts to convince himself that he is a worthy human being. A different Cal is emerging.
"That meant something. When all you know is that you have snarky tastes in T-shirts and you're a killer of monsters and you pass Miss Terrwyn's good-character test, you had to think maybe you weren't too bad. If I'd killed monsters, then I'd saved innocent people. I defended the honor of teen girls from perverts, even if I overreacted somewhat. I wasn't such a bad guy."
However, this situation doesn't last long as Niko and Robyn find Cal and take him back to New York City. There, he finds out what it means to have a brother and what he really does for a living. Cal's problem? He's having "trouble getting it through his head that monsters or non-humans aren't always evil." He thinks of them as "abominations." This poses a problem for Niko, Goodfellow and the rest of his friends, as they all have to basically lie to Cal while they continue to work on a new contract, hunting down a soul-sucking Egyptian goddess who is after them.
This "new" Cal might be suffering from amnesia, but he is still sarcastic, lazy, sloppy and loves his guns. The difference is that he's an almost happy, human Cal now, less impulsive and more thoughtful. I believe we've caught glimpses of this side of Cal in previous books (particularly in the first book), but never to this extent. Cal without the Auphe. The entire book is narrated from his point of view with his dark, snarky humor, as well as the angst and a certain... innocence and honesty made this character driven novel a different read within this series. The action is still included, but in reality Blackout is more about the changes Cal is going through and his interactions with Niko, than the monster hunting. There are some really funny moments too: Cal wearing a gingham apron; Cal giving Goodfellow fork-phobia; the cats! I loved them all.
Niko also plays a large role in this story, as he goes through some incredible changes along with his brother. He is affected by what he thinks of as losing his brother to amnesia and frankly, I was shocked by some of the things that happened between the two of them in this book, particularly some of Niko's actions. He's just such a lovely character -- too perfect? Yes, and no, sometimes... but still lovely. Goodfellow is his wonderful, egocentric self and I love every instance he is on the page, as he makes the most of his monogamy and being a true friend. The rest of the secondary characters, particularly Promise who is just a non-issue, don't play much of a role in this book, with Delilah a problem that is obviously being left for later.
On the surface Blackout takes Cal's character backward. He's a blank slate and has to re-learn everything about himself, but in reality this is big leap forward for him. This is where Cal finally comes to terms with what and who he really is, for better or worse. There's much needed character growth for him and in my opinion this was well done by Thurman, even with the repetition found throughout the text and Cal's long internal dialogue.
Blackout was a great addition to this series. I admit to being initially disappointed and not understanding why Thurman was taking Cal's character backwards, I wanted dark Cal back. But as the story went along, the more I read the more it made sense to me. I absolutely loved the ending and that last line! Cal is now ready for what may come next -- Delilah, and/or whatever monsters are lying in wait in the dark, himself included. Bring on the next book!
For some reasons, I felt this book was a bit easier to read than the rest of the series. Weird, because if there is any internal book, this is the one... but it flowed better I felt.
I just love, love, love Cal, Niko, Robyn and Ishiah. I love that they're all there for each other... We always knew that Cal and Niko's brotherhood was strong, but the friendship with Robyn has really grown :D and LOL at the monogamous hotline!! Oh and the cats, that was funny as well. Especially when Robyn told Promise he'd choose her a pair... do you think she will take them?
Some of the actions from Niko are a bit surprising, but they really do make sense and stay in character.
What is this series again? j/k. Such a high rating! Nath has mentioned to me how good this series is but I just haven't looked at it. So many series out there! Great review Hils!
Oops can you delete the duplicate comment? Sorry, don't know what happened there!
Nath, I really agree with you about the pacing of this book! I somehow edited that out of my review and forgot to put it back. :( But, you know how it took us days to finish the other books? I read Blackout in two sittings and could have read it in one. That was surprising to me also. It just flowed.
The relationships are the best thing about these books and they just getter. I don't get tired of how they're depicted or how they grow. I love all those characters too! The cats! LOLOL! Poor Robyn! Oh and I don't think Promise has a chance... she'll have 2 cats by the next book, lol!
I agree about Niko... I was shocked, surprised and touched at the same time by his actions. They do fit him. As I said above, he's not perfect but he is... he's just such a great guy -- you know what I mean.
Tabitha -- I took care of that duplicate, it happens sometimes.
And LOL! I know you're kidding, what with all the reviews. ;P Do you like UF? If you do, then you should definitely give this one a shot.
I've somehow fallen behind on this series. Reading (parts of) your review (skimming to avoid spoilers)makes me want to pick it up again. Roadkill is on my shelf. Maybe I'll try the audio, though just to mix things up. It sounds like Cal is going in some new and interesting directions!
I need to get going on this like yesterday! I totally skimmed but read the last paragraph. Now I have to find out what's up with Delilah.
Reading it this weekend for sure!
Renee, I loved Roadkill and really liked Blackout -- two different types of books. Thurman is really mixing it up with Cal. :) But I'll say that of the two, Blackout stands out for its concentration on characterization instead of action or plot -- interesting for UF.

San Miguel Produce, Inc. Shifts Business Focus for Long-Term Sustainability
San Miguel Produce Produce February 19, 2020
Oxnard, CA– San Miguel Produce, Inc., the leader in value-added dark leafy greens, announces the next steps in its business evolution. As part of their strategic growth plan, the company announces key changes to their business operations to increase efficiency, ensure supply year-round and promote the long-term sustainability of the company.
After over 43 years of farming in Ventura County, CA, the company will significantly reduce its growing footprint and will instead partner with growers to provide year-round supply for its processing operation. While San Miguel Produce will be partnering with major growers across the country, they strive to support local agriculture and family farms at home and beyond. Within Ventura County, they are working with smaller farmers to help develop processes and lend their expertise to elevate these farmer's food safety and farming programs. In addition, they have partnered with cooperatives who are bringing together a variety of family farmers across North America to provide quality greens year-round. This diversity in growing regions and farmers will ensure consistent, year-round supply in the event of weather, natural disaster or seasonal insect pressure.
"The farming and legislative landscape in Ventura County has changed significantly over the past few years," states Roy Nishimori, President and CEO of San Miguel Produce. "For more than four decades, we successfully focused on the Ventura County growing region however, with crop, weather and regulation changes in this farming region, this business model is no longer sustainable for consistent, year-round quality supply. This next step in our strategic plan will allow us to continue to grow and innovate in new areas of the industry."
For the past year, San Miguel Produce has utilized its old headquarter office and processing facility for its farming and warehousing needs. In 2020, all remaining operations will move to the company's new 85,000 sq. ft. facility where they have been operating out of since early 2019.
"San Miguel is taking the next strategic steps in its evolution to strengthen its ability to better serve customers, improve operational efficiency and continue to innovate in the dark leafy greens category," says John Killeen, Vice President of Sales and General Manager of San Miguel Produce. "These operational improvements only amplify the superior quality, service and food safety we have built a reputation for over the past 43 years."
San Miguel Produce looks forward to developing innovation and fine tune its processing facility, but at its core will remain a family run operation dedicated to providing healthy and convenient dark leafy greens for every lifestyle.
About San Miguel Produce
San Miguel Produce, Inc. is dedicated to delivering fresh, naturally nutritious dark leafy greens to kitchens across North America. Owned and operated by the Nishimori Family, San Miguel Produce's fresh cut processing facility in Oxnard, CA produces a wide range of nutrient dense greens for every lifestyle. In 1995, their cornerstone brand, Cut 'N Clean Greens, was launched as the first washed and ready to use cooking greens in a bag. Since then they have continued to innovate in the dark leafy greens category with Jade Asian Greens, a value added line of Chinese vegetables, and new blends and varieties.

The Open Dialogue FoundationNewsKazakhstan: The court issued decision on early release of political prisoner Vladimir Kozlov
Kazakhstan: The court issued decision on early release of political prisoner Vladimir Kozlov
04.08.2016 | Author: Igor Savchenko
On 4 August, 2016, the Kapshagai City Court of Almaty Province ordered the conditional release of opposition politician Vladimir Kozlov. The court decision will come into force in 15 days.
Famous Kazakh opposition politician Vladimir Kozlov was sentenced to imprisonment for supporting Zhanaozen oil workers who were shot by the police on 16 December, 2011. The politician represented the interests of the strikers in the European Parliament, European Commission, OSCE and the Polish Sejm; for his actions, he was subjected to criminal prosecution. Upon his return from Brussels, on 23 January, 2012, he was immediately arrested and labelled as the one who 'provoked' the Zhanaozen tragedy 'at the instruction' of opposition politician Mukhtar Ablyazov.
On 8 October, 2012, Vladimir Kozlov was sentenced to 7.5 years' imprisonment, having been convicted of 'inciting social discord', 'calling for the violent overthrow of the constitutional order' and 'establishing a criminal organisation'. On the basis of this sentence, the activities of the opposition party 'Alga' and 34 influential non-state media have been banned in Kazakhstan. They were accused of 'inciting social discord'. The international community has recognised the verdict against Vladimir Kozlov as unfair and politically motivated.
For more than 4.5 years, Vladimir Kozlov has been held in custody. He has been subjected to ill-treatment, and his health condition has deteriorated significantly. From December 2012 to March 2014, Kozlov was illegally detained in prison which wasn't located near his place of residence – in Petropavlovsk (Kazakhstan Siberia). In March 2014, the political prisoner was transferred to a colony in the Zarechnoye village (Almaty Province). For some time, Kozlov was held in solitary confinement, and on 27 July, 2015, he was transferred to a unit with strict conditions of detention, where he was held for over a year.
In the period between December 2015 and February 2016, Kazakh courts have repeatedly denied the tranfer of Kozlov to the usual conditions of detention and his release on parole. On 2 August, 2016, he eventually achieved his tranfer to the usual conditions of detention, and subsequently, on 4 August, 2016, the court granted his petition for early release.
For several years, the UN, the European Parliament, the OSCE, the United States, international human rights organisations have repeatedly appealed to the Kazakh authorities, demanding an early release of political prisoner Vladimir Kozlov. We hereby call on the international community to closely monitor the execution of the court decision to release Vladimir Kozlov.

When I first heard the term Big Data few years ago, I didn't think much of it. Soon after, Big Data started appearing in many of my conversations with many of my tech friends. So I started asking a very simple question 'What is Big Data?'. I kept asking that question to various folks and I did not get the same answer twice from any number of people. 'Oh, it's lot of data'. 'It's variety of data'. 'It's how fast the data is piling up'. Really? I thought to myself but was afraid to ask more questions. As none of it made much sense to me, I decided to dig into it myself. Obviously, my first stop was Google.
When I typed 'Big Data' at that time, this showed up.
Ahh, It all made sense right away. None of the people I was talking to really knew much about Big Data but were talking about it anyway as everyone else was talking about it.
In this series of articles I am planning to write on Big Data, my target audience are those people who come across the term Big Data but don't live and breathe Big Data on a daily basis for their regular jobs. If you are one of those practitioners making a living off of Big Data, these articles may be rudimentary for you. Decide whether you are on that spectrum and decide to either continue reading or leave now. I'll not be offended.
So what really is big data?
So Wikipedia's definition is focusing on 'volume of data' and 'complexity of processing that data'. Good start but doesn't clearly answer the question of what is the volume threshold of data that makes it Big Data. Is it 100 GB? A Peta Byte? What are the on-hand database management tools? Are they referring to Relational Database Systems from Oracle and IBM etc? Most likely but not answered in this definition.
To some extent, Wikipedia and O'Reilly's definitions are similar in that both refer to 'processing capacity' and 'conventional database systems' but O'Reilly media adds a new twist by mentioning 'too big' and 'moves fast'. Hmm, animals like elephants and cheetahs started running through my head.
Gartner is referring to the size of data (large volume), speed with which the data is being generated (velocity), and the different types of data (variety) and this seemed to align with the combined definition of Wikipedia and O'Reilly media.
I thought I was getting somewhere.
Let us try to digest this together. Forrester seems to be saying that any data that is beyond the current reach (i.e. frontier) of that firm to store (i.e. large volumes of data), process (i.e. needs innovative processing), and access (new ways of accessing that data) is the Big Data. So the question is: What is the 'frontier'? Who defines the frontier?
Well, similar to all the above but still not specific for me to decide when the data becomes Big Data.
Then I came across this article from University of Wisconsin which gave some specificity to the 'Volume'. The article said 'some have defined big data as an amount that exceeds a petabyte – one million gigabytes.' Thank you Wisconsin for clearing that up. But the same article mentioned the numerous 'V's that are being added to the 3 'V's that Gartner originally came up with.
IBM added 'Veracity' referring to the quality of data. See the picture below with 4 'V's.
Variability is referring to the changing nature of data.
Visualization refers to the art of turning data science into visual stories via graphs and other charts to transform data into information, into insight, into knowledge etc.
Value refers to the fact that businesses need to take advantage of all this data into some valuable decisions.
Big Data is data that is not a single type i.e. structured and a variety of structured, unstructured etc.
Big Data is data that is being generated at a much faster rate than data in the past from all kinds of sources including social media.
Big Data is data that requires newer ways to store, process, analyze, visualize, and integrate.
Hope this article was helpful. If it was, please 'Like' it here, 'Share' it with your network, and feel free to 'Follow' me. If you want to stay in touch, please 'Connect' here on LinkedIn or follow on twitter @rkdontha1.
So what other Big Data questions you have but are afraid to ask? Go ahead and comment below OR send me a note. Look forward to hearing from you!!!


a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ly2vp2tLH8s">What Is Beauty? – YouTube WE have edited out the section when particapants at the workshop viewed the video.
Neil is a secondary English teacher who has run a number of highly successful workshops around this theme. The session will look at what happens when we give students the tools to take control of learning and show what they are capable of. It looks at how we can encourage them to take risks and deal with failure while still staying on track for conventional successes. It will involve presentation, exemplification and discussion. Listen out for the calendars and cakes!!!
Professional learning for teachers: beyond the early phase. This presentation will focus upon the importance of class teachers and draw on the model of IoC, related feedback, and evidence of impact in comparison with other forms of CPD.
As Chair of the National Implementation Board on implementing "Teaching Scotland's Future" Petra will give an overview of where we are in that process. Her recent blog on Engage for Education gave an encouraging picture of progress and her presentation will build on, and update, that as well as looking at the implications of the Board's work. The session will include time for questions.
Arranged at very short notice, we had an Audio TeachMeet, missing the social and beer but with some fascinating guests.

It was all looking gloomy for Lietuvos Rytas with three games to go in the first round of the Euroleague, but a brilliant hat trick of victories over Cholet, Barcelona and Cibona yesterday meant they clinched the final top 16 berth at the expense of Cholet. "I want to congratulate my players – said Lietuvos coach Aleksandar Trifunovic - Not only for this game but for everything they have done in the last month. We were practically written off from making it to the Top 16, but by believing we could turn it around we did qualify for the Top 16".


When you decide to take that leap to book a plane ticket and venture off towards a new place and a new environment, it's so easy to get caught in the chaos and pure visceral experience of it all, that it seems to sometimes fade away in a blur. Sure you've got you Iphone or a camera to capture those picturesque moments but although a picture can 'say a thousand words' it can be difficult to capture the feeling of a day or an event. Bringing along a journal is a great way to document the people you meet, the experiences you've had, and the feelings you've felt in a completely subjective and personal way.
However, it can be tough. You start out by writing daily, keeping track of your bus tickets the things you did and anything else that comes to mind. But a few late nights out on the town or long consistent days of travel and you find you've missed quite a few important moments in time. It begins to seem insurmountable to catch up on everything you've done, then the thought of setting aside a few hours to write in your journal simply seems daunting. For me, a journal doesn't have to be a consistent log of your daily occurrences, but instead a means to record the more impressionable moments so that in the future the blurred memory can again become crisp. The key is to write an entry as soon as you have a chance, because whether you like it or not the impression and the feeling of that moment will begin to fade or perhaps change to suit your current mood.
It is also important to make sure that your journal simply looks badass. Something that is weathered, beaten, tough, and full of shaman like wisdom and insight. Something that when you look on your bookshelf a few years down the road reminds you of the intrigue you portrayed as you brought it along. Call it whatever you want; a journal, a diary, an agenda, a daily log – the important thing here is that it is an essential part of any backpackers' inventory.
As much as I spent a good chunk of time with this fellow, I have a terrible memory and generally fail to maintain contact with the people I meet. Let's call him 'Jeremy' (it started with a J). At 19, Jeremy decided to work at a place he loved for a year, save up some funds and hit the road. Starting in South East Asia and making his way over to Central and South America. This week's 'What's in Your Backpack' goes out to him!
Yes it is always lovely to write something down!!
here's to Jeremy (or the letter J)!
Agreed! Although after talking about it a bit more we're thinking it was Jonas (Silent 'J') now.

Stillfleet is creating content you must be 18+ to view. Are you 18 years of age or older?
Yes, I am 18 or older
#META ☉ What Genre is Stillfleet?
The question of inspiration and definition
The question has arisen more than once: what sort of game is Stillfleet? Is it "grimdark," "hard" sci-fi in the tradition of Alien? Or is it a post-everything (dying-earth) science-fantasy game that remixes elements of D&D and Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun? Uh, yes. And Yes.
But wait, it's also loaded with Lovecraftian elements, some of which comes off as straight-up goofy, à la Jack Kirby's New Gods… And it's anti-capitalist—so like Terry Gilliam's Brazil, or Kafka in space? (Yes, yep, and yes.) And there's a lot of biology in the game, especially food, way more than is typical for an RPG… (Of course!)
Let me begin at the beginning. Yes, weird science-horror from Lovecraft to Victor LaValle is always in the background of my mind when I run games, as is the grim and kinetic biopunk of Octavia Butler and Paolo Bacigalupi. So is Le Guin's science-fantasy and especially her early sci-fi (The Left Hand of Darkness, "Vaster Than Empires"), ditto that of Sam Delany. So is, of course, Alien and its many descendants. These sub-genres explore the intersections of science, race, reproduction, changing environments, and shifting definitions of "the human." They assume states and corporations are fragile and self-serving. I love reading, teaching, and remixing them.
But, if I'm honest, Stillfleet was most immediately inspired by the visceral and poetic science fiction of James Tiptree, Jr. (Alice Sheldon) and by M. John Harrison's Viriconium. The former mocks classic American hard SF with breathtakingly beautiful prose: Cold War astronauts travel time only to discover—to their horror—that women are in charge; an alien spider-monster lives, loves, and dies (and eats a lot, and is eaten); a pariah aboard a spaceship becomes an only survivor and the only human to encounter a beneficent alien civilization whose physical conditions, unfortunately, prove deadly to her; people jack into humanoid replicants to pretend to be other than themselves; across time and space, the void proves deadly but richly peopled; aliens prove utterly strange but are often loved by humans, anyway; the technological and the nonhuman prove dangerous lures for would-be spacefarers…
The latter, Harrison's collected work, is—among other things—a highly sophisticated parody of D&D, Tolkien, Wolfe, and 1980s British culture that somehow elevates parody into excellent, word-perfect storytelling. You can design dying-earth RPGs all day based on Viriconium and not run out of material for both laughs as well as profound moments of connection and contemplation.
I wanted to do that for a posthuman, biopunk, grimdark, Alien-inspired RPG setting. I wanted to blend up all of the elements of science fiction, bake a game-cake, eat this cake, and still have it. That is, I wanted a game that would be both ridiculous in the way that good, friendly RPGs are, but also serious—a poetic machine for exploring which aspects of which futures we want and which we really don't. I wanted a game that is about the far future, de-centering humanity, but in an approachably ironic way. I wanted Tiptree's annihilating, rich, and erotic void, but gamified in the key of Harrison.
How genre affects game design
For the record, I did not want to write Alien: The RPG (which came out years after my first draft) or Superfuture Earth: The RPG (which came out, basically, as Numenera) or Cthulhu Dark, or any other specific existing sci-fi sub-genre. In fact, I wanted to provide a framework for playing games in, and making fun of, any sci-fi sub-genre. I wanted to take Monte Cook's brilliant insight of a portal-city in Planescape (later retooled as and—in my humble opinion—diluted into The Strange), get rid of the gods, and bring in the politics of today. I wanted to make Planescape do literary and political work for players living in a time of unprecedented technological and environmental change.
So the only constant I set at the start of the game design process—besides no dragons, no goblins, and so forth—was that my big full-on core-rulebook-having game would explicitly engage with capitalism: how it exploits resources including people, how it transforms social relations, how it appears inevitable to its hierophants. My game would force the players to work for or against a Company, capital C.
This situation could then be pulled more into the gritty, body-morphing (Sur-)realism of Tiptree, Dune, or Alien, or allowed to expand into Trekkian ultra-technological, post-scarcity politicking, or even melt into Kirby-esque zaniness. (I've also yanked it closer to Steven Universe, or dare I write it, Rick and Morty.) The game would work for any version of a sci-fi or sci-fantasy universe, but it would bend every story toward some discussion of labor—specifically, labor in uncertain and often extremely dangerous environments, amid the ruins of fallen civilizations and on the frontiers of alien ones.
The question of astronomical time-scales
That all said, yes, it is true: I always, always, always from the beginning wanted to both:
set the game so far into the future that, in addition to dragons, there would be no actually powerful vestiges of American empire, Amazon/Facebook/Google, petro-fascism, settler-colonialism, etc., AS WELL AS
be able to at any moment—almost always for laughs—invoke dollar slices, hip hop, Alexa, instant ramen, and other hallmarks of early twenty first-century life.
This combination of distance (a) and familiarity (b) is what powers the dry humor of Viriconium. In literature, it's called "Martian poetry," the defamiliarizing of everyday life. This process helps us examine what we take for granted, seeing it as historically contingent and, in geological and especially astronomical terms, quite weird.
What is a mobile phone, for example? It didn't exist even a century ago, and it likely won't, in any recognizable form, in a decade. A phone from ten years ago already looks faintly ridiculous to us today. And a phone from the late 1980s…?
So yes, I personally run my own game in a way that constantly references the years circa 2020. I don't try to hide from this pool of possible referents; I use it to make the game (b) easier to grok for my players, and to simultaneously provide moments of surprising recognition within a setting that is otherwise (a) quite bizarre.
How do I justify these references to c. CE 2020 within the diegetic reality of c. CE 1,000,002,020? Sometimes I don't; they're just jokes or ways of punctuating the bizarre with the familiar (although always the familiar de- and then re-contextualized).
Sometimes, however, I fall upon the MacGuffinry of the Archive: according to their research, Ancient humanity achieved some sort of late, great solar civilization shortly (in geological terms) after 2020. Some new cohort of humans—the Tephnians—achieved galactic-scale greatness only a few thousand years before the game's present. During the intervening millions of years, no one knows exactly what happened. Humanity largely vanished from Terra, and many aliens no doubt visited. (In my canonical games, Terra was ruled by the godlike cryptocerids—car-sized, ultra-genius, subterranean cockroaches—for fifty million years after the fall of the Ancients.)
That all said—you don't ever have to reference the year 2020 in your Stillfleet games. It is very easy to simply abolish any connection to Ancient Terra Mater and set your game in a proverbial far, far away nook of timespace. Maybe, in your game, voidminers are always searching for clues as to where Terra is, and who lives there now. Or maybe you want to make your Terra much more D&D-like, or more technologically advanced. I encourage you to sculpt the world of the game according to your own inspirations.
Ultimately, my game, like all ttRPGs, consists of two elements: mechanics (core rules and specific powers/tech/"spells," etc.) and concepts (settings, characters, classes, names, aliens, "monsters," plothooks, etc.). You can use both, one without the other, or neither. I hope you like both, of course, but I know that many GMs and players prefer more realistic settings, ones not quite so far into the future. I look forward to exploring these settings, too.

The theme of Bob Dylan's famous song is truer today in the business world than in 1964 when it was first written. Traditional organizational structures and leadership models are buckling under the weight of new technologies, the velocity of information exchange, the rapidly narrowing information gap between management and staff, and the increasing distrust of authority figures and traditional information sources. The days of staff accepting the views and decisions of superiors without challenge seem to be nearing the end.
For organizations of all sizes, the consensus for appropriate response has been inclusive leadership. Inclusive leadership is not merely desirable--it is increasingly necessary to maintain effective teams and to draw out the best that the talented younger generation has to offer.
Please join us for a deep-dive discussion on diversity and inclusiveness in business led by Douglas Hymas, the country head for The Bank of New York Mellon based in Tokyo and a speaker on diversity issues, including LGBT and gender equality. Doug has been in Japan for over 25 years and has worked for Japanese and foreign-owned companies over that time. Based on his experience building and leading various teams, he will share data and insights on modern developments that are driving the change toward inclusive leadership, as well as personal experiences and examples of inclusiveness, team management, and engagement—most of them positive!

New Speaker of Plateau State House of Assembly assures Government House of collaboration
by SiteMaster - October 29, 2021 October 29, 2021 0
by Christians Gokyo, Jos
Rt. Hon. Yakubu Sanda
The new Speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly Rt. Hon. Yakubu Sanda has led principal officers and some members of the House to the Government House to assure the Executive arm of its collaboration and cooperation in running the affairs of the State.
The new Speaker was received at the Government House by Secretary to the Government of the State, Prof. Danladi Abok Atu, on behalf of the governor, on Thursday morning.
Speaking during the visit, Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Naanlong Daniel, said they were at the Government House in line with the tradition of the House to introduce the new leadership of the House whenever there is a change.
According to him, the new Speaker emerged after 16 of the 23 Members of the House signed the petition to impeach the former Speaker, Rt. Hon. Nuhu Ayuba Abok, over series of allegations.
The new Speaker, Hon. Yakubu Sanda, said the new leadership of the House will "work in synergy" with the Executive and Judiciary for the peace, progress and development of Plateau State.
He said the House, which now enjoys full autonomy, will use its legislative powers to ensure that government programs and projects impact the people at the grassroots level.
Responding on behalf of the governor, Secretary to the Government of Plateau State, Prof. Danladi Abok Atu, said Governor Lalong and the entire Executive arm was surprised with the development, but nevertheless, respects the decision of the House, which is an autonomous organ that has powers to manage its internal affairs.
He assured the House that the doors of the Executive will always remain open for collaboration and cooperation with the legislature in delivering good governance and actualising the Rescue Agenda.
The Speaker was accompanied on the courtesy visit by his Deputy, Rt. Hon. Shehu Sale Yipmong, along with Majority Leader and ten other members.
Rt. Hon. Yakubu Sanda represents Pengana Constituency of Bassa LGA, while the former Speaker Rt. Hon. Nuhu Ayuba Abok, represents Jos East Constituency.

Prof. Dean Irvine shines light on earlier generation
By Marilyn Smulders - April 29, 2008
Dean Irvine heads the project called Editing Modernism in Canada. (Nick Pearce Photo)
Writing in 1941, Hugh MacLennan asserted "there is, as yet, no tradition of Canadian literature."
It's a sentiment shared by many who believe that Canadian literature started to flourish with the Margarets—Atwood and Laurence—in the 1960s and '70s. Canlit continues to blossom and grow on bestseller lists and English class syllabi, nurtured by names like Munro and MacLeod, Ondaatje and Vasanji, Mistry and Martel.
But Dean Irvine takes exception—Canadian writers had "an international presence at a much earlier historical moment than is represented in the popular imagination."
"Looking at these authors (from the 1920s, '30s and '40s), we really see how innovative and politically radical they were," continues Dr. Irvine, associate professor in the Department of English at Dalhousie, giving such examples as Morley Callaghan, Elizabeth Smart, Dorothy Livesay, Bertram Booker, and that Canlit doubter Hugh MacLennan, best known for the groundbreaking Barometer Rising, set against the historic backdrop of the 1917 Halifax Explosion.
"Canadian literature acquired a kind of avant-garde character long before the generation of the Margarets. There's this assumption that Canadian literature magically emerged as a phenomenon in the 1960s."
Dr. Irvine is marshalling forces to change perceptions about Canlit. He's leading a major, multi-million-dollar research project comprising 32 researchers from universities across Canada, in the United States, the U.K. and France to re-invigorate interest in Canlit's earlier generation.
Called Editing Modernism in Canada, the project takes a multi-pronged approach. It involves publishing titles that were never published or are long out of print, both in traditional bookform and on the web. The works of art—poetry, fiction, nonfiction drama and autobiography—would be accompanied by supplemental texts, such as introductions, biographies, correspondence, questions to lead book-club discussions and alternate versions, not unlike the special features on a DVD.
But publishing is just one side of the project. Other elements include creating a website as a meeting place for the academics involved; organizing editing workshops for print and digital editions (the first one to be held at Dalhousie next summer); and holding conferences to bring all the partners together—at the University of Toronto in 2010 and at the Sorbonne in Paris in 2012.
The first book, a long-lost novel from the 1930s, has already been edited by Colin Hill, a professor at the University of Toronto, and published by the University of Ottawa Press as part of the Canadian Literature Collection. Waste Heritage was written by Irene Baird, a journalist who disguised herself as a nurse to gain access to the violent labour disputes which inspire her novel.
Dr. Irvine, who is teaching an English class called Modernisms and Masculinities this summer, will be able to talk about Waste Heritage now that it's available again for the first time in decades.
"This is exciting—to introduce a novel written in 1939 to my students," says Dr. Irvine. "And I can do that now that it's available in print again."
Originally published in 1939, the novel "was quietly censored because of its leftist, agitational character," says Dr. Irvine. Set among B.C.'s homeless and unemployed during the 1938 sit-down protests, Waste Heritage speaks about the east-end of Vancouver today with as much relevance as it did then. In a review in The Globe and Mail last month, Waste Heritage was called "remarkable in its prescience and unsparing in its portrait of Canadians' attitudes at the time."
Some of the other titles soon to make their debuts (again) include Dry Water by Robert Stead (edited by Neil Querengesser and Jean Horton), The Wrong World: Selected Stories, Essays and Manifestoes by Bertram Brooker (edited by Gregory Betts) and This Time a Better Earth by Ted Allan (edited by Dalhousie graduate student Bart Vautour). Two early books by Hugh MacLennan, A Man Should Rejoice and So All Their Praises, will be published for the first time.
In re-introducing the books, Dr. Irvine says they've learned from the book-club crowd, who want attractively designed, easy-to-read books.
"We really want Canadians to pick up these books and to read them—this is Canadian literature for Canadians—not just 19-year-old students who have to read them for class."

The Dalai Lama said Saturday that he has known about sexual abuse by Buddhist teachers since the 1990s and that such allegations are "nothing new".
"We found refuge in Buddhism with an open mind and heart, until we were raped in its name," the victims said in their petition.
"I already did know these things, nothing new," the Dalai Lama said in response on Dutch public television NOS late Saturday.
"Twenty-five years ago... someone mentioned about a problem of sexual allegations" at a conference for western Buddhist teachers in Dharamshala, a hill town in northern India, he added.
People who commit sexual abuse "don't care about the Buddha's teaching. So now that everything has been made public, people may concern about their shame," he said, speaking in English.
Tseten Samdup Chhoekyapa, a representative of the Tibetan spiritual leader in Europe, said Friday that the Dalai Lama "has consistently denounced such irresponsible and unethical behaviour".
"At that time they should talk about it," the Dalai Lama said in his televised comments Saturday. "I think the religious leaders should pay more attention."

In 1936 Dr. Georg Schubert created the initial public video telephone service linking Berlin to Nuremberg, Hamburg, and Munich. These days the idea of video telephone has changed into a brand new department of the Telecom Industry. In 1936 you'd to go to particular post office video telephone booths to create a video phone call.
Now it once a great luxury is now available to the public. What better example than FaceTime? A groundbreaking new performance and program embedded in Mac OS X and the all brand new iPod touch, iPad two and iPhone four.
When you download facetime on pc, you are able to now keep in contact with your friends and family not just through voice calls, but also to observe through video calls. This amazing feature together with its crystal clear, real-time broadcast helps make the distance fade away by providing you with the possibility to find out your family faces as well as share moments of compassion.
FaceTime, with its leading-edge technology, provides you with the possibility to see people that are a huge number of miles away from your present place by one quick hit of a switch. Furthermore, in case you're currently involved in a vocal call you do not need to conclude it to begin a video phone call. FaceTime features a distinctive element which enables you to change from audio to video call by just tapping the FaceTime button.
The other individual is going to receive an invitation and in case he or maybe she accepts consequently you both are on your way to see the magnificence of face to face conversations. FaceTime furthermore allows you to select from what camera your terminal broadcasts. With this particular feature, you can talk about your encounters with many other individuals as birthday parties, concerts, museum tours and also much, much more.
Just how many times in life have you wished to talk about a moment with somebody who did not eventually be right alongside you? With FaceTime, these moments are times past. Parents that are on business trips, friends that study abroad, grandparents that can't travel for long distances, almost all these individuals are vital to helping you and till today you'd to admit that the project, age or maybe education had been much more critical compared to the moments you planned to discuss.
FaceTime will be here to rid of all these moments by getting your family to you. Grandparents could certainly right now be there for you if you get your high school diploma, friends may right now sing at your birthday party, parents may today support you at your initial job play even in case they are not within the nation.
FaceTime is the last stage in completely making voice with an image. With FaceTime, you are going to consider voice calls something of days gone by, one thing that does not satisfy your needs anymore. Hearing a common voice is a fantastic thing but hearing and seeing that person in real time, it is priceless. FaceTime has arrived, and there is no question that it is here to stay. But my issue is: What is there not to love?

The Women's 3 x 7.5 kilometre biathlon relay competition at the 1992 Winter Olympics 14 February, at Les Saisies. Each national team consisted of three members, with each skiing 7.5 kilometres and shooting twice, once prone and once standing.

At each shooting station, a competitor has eight shots to hit five targets; however, only five bullets are loaded in a magazine at one - if additional shots are required, the spare bullets must be loaded one at a time. If after the eight shots are taken, there are still targets not yet hit, the competitor must ski a 150-metre penalty loop.

Summary
This was the Olympic debut of the Women's Biathlon Relay. The race had been held at eight World Championships, all won by the Soviet Union. The Unified Team, carrying the tradition of the Soviets, plus two medalists from the Sprint race three days prior, were the favorites.

After the first shooting stage, the Unified Team held a 30 second lead over a surprising Chinese team, which shot perfectly. Bulgaria and France were the only other teams within one minute. Germany, forced to ski a penalty loop, was in sixth. Shortly after leaving the shooting range, Yelena Belova took a wrong turn which cost the Unified Team roughly 20 seconds. Despite the error, Belova entered the second shooting stage with a 25 second gap, but gave it all back after skiing a penalty loop. Bulgaria and France left the shooting range tied for first, with Norway twenty seconds behind in third. The Unified Team was in fourth, 34 seconds behind the leaders.

In the second leg, France, Germany, and Bulgaria all shot perfectly from the prone position. While the Unified Team skied another penalty loop. France had a 14 second lead over Germany coming out of the range. The second shooting produced similar results, France and Germany needed only one combined extra round, while the Unified Team narrowly avoided a penalty loop. France exited the range with an eight second lead over Germany, and a 30 second lead over the Unified Team. Bulgaria was now over one minute behind. The final lap saw Anfisa Reztsova display the skiing speed that won her an Olympic cross-country skiing medal four years earlier. In just 2.5km, she made up over a minute on France, and nearly 30 seconds on Germany. Despite two penalty laps, and eight total extra rounds, the Unified Team had a seven second lead as the final exchange was made.

The final leg saw Anne Briand of France recoup nearly all of the 30 second deficit prior to the first shooting stage. The three leaders only needed one combined extra round, and all left the range within 9 seconds of each other. The podium was all but decided. Nerves were apparent in the final shooting stage, but no one took advantage. All three teams needed two extra rounds to clear the targets. France left the range with an 8 second advantage over Germany. The favored Unified Team, 27 seconds behind, would have to settle for bronze. Briand, continuing to ski the fastest leg of the entire event, increased the lead all the way to the finish.

This was the first ever Olympic biathlon medal for France.

O-line getting absolutely no push.
Why not try putting Gentry at QB in this kind of situation?
A manball sweep for a TD!! Wooooo!!!
The boos got into Nordin's head.
No worries. That point won't matter.
Nordin probably gave the -7.5 too.
Great drive....lets get some defensive adjustments here.
I'm wondering if someone else was calling the plays on that last offensive drive because it looked totally different.
WOW. So close to a pick six. Great stand by the defense!!!
I much prefer the PSU offense that chooses to pass the ball.
Why run a rout short?
Refs "were homers no penalty"
Whew. Lucky with the Barkley drop.

Don A. Iverson
Realism in Watercolor
Don Iverson has no particular technique. From his childhood, he has observed perspective, shadows and color values. He refuses to be corralled by typical pre-assigned conventional art guide lines. Don simply knows how he wants a piece to look and does what is necessary to produce the desired result.
Don has a great appreciation for God and His creation, and often says, "All I do is an attempt to duplicate on paper what has been created by the Master Artist."
Iverson's pieces are known for great detail. It is not unusual for Don to spend half of a day focused on a seemingly insignificant item. The unapparent, irrelevant features set his work apart.
This artist works in watercolor primarily as he enjoys the effects presented by various layers of distinct colors. Though watercolor is very unforgiving, it requires less patience than oil. The fine lines and details can only be accomplished with the thinner molecular structure of water. The overall softness, observed in an Iverson piece, can be primarily attributed to his choice of the watercolor medium.
Another distinct characteristic of Iverson's technique is his ability, even in watercolor, to achieve darker values. This is accomplished through numerous layers, giving depth and enhanced realism.
Foscoe, NC

Issue Price: $85.00
The sun rises and the morning mist fills the Foscoe valley beneath the astute towering silhouette of the Grandfather. One can only imagine the crispness of the morning as the presence of engine twelve was made spectacularly known by her dew-covered whistle reverberating from mountainside to mountainside. Long gone are the days when she first filled the air with the smell of burning coal and hot ashes, as twelve was introduced to Grandfather on this mountainside perch, one hundred years ago.
In the shadow of a Grandfather who seems to perpetually emit warmth and wisdom, Iverson explained the moment in the woods when he discovered this spot. "Delight and exhilaration is the best way for me to express the feeling I had when I happened upon this old piece of the ET & WNC train bed at Grandfather's side. I stopped to imagine, saddened that I could not have the privileged presence like that celebrated by attendees in the century past, and so I set about to recreate on paper the image in my mind." An acquaintance, observing the work in progress, suggested the name, "Old Friends." The title stuck, as Iverson felt it very appropriate, short and descriptive of his own emotions.
Research on this latest piece is in celebration of engine twelve's one-hundredth birthday (1917-2017). Tweetsie Railroad has been home to Number 12, the last remaining Baldwin engine of the ET & WNC railroad, since the theme park's opening in 1957.
In Iverson's latest watercolor depiction, the vibrant detail incorporated into the engine, set against a looser technique for the Grandfather backdrop, make it appear as if the narrow-gauge train is coming straight out of the picture. Rigid steel against the softness of basin fog contributes to the realistic impression. "I painted freely, unrestrained in the surplus of colors I assimilated, ever careful that my brush tip did not touch black. Hues of blue, violet and orange make the appearance of the black engine, reflections mirrored from the hard-hot steel's shiny surface. My color palette was all over the place on this one," Don explained.
Iverson's latest piece is set to be released as a limited fine art print on June 1, 2017.

This project between the Sustainable Energy Research Group (SERG) of the University of Southampton, and the Center for Research in Energy Systems and Technologies (CREST) of the University of San Carlos covers two areas, namely, energy efficiency in buildings, and energy access (rural electrification). This report covers the preparatory work being done by the USC team in the said two areas, specifically intended to define training themes for the research attachment at SERG.
The image below shows the major buildings in the campus.
4) and Pangan-an Island, in Lapulapu City.
The locations of these communities within Cebu Province are shown in Figure 7.
Upper Pilihan in Obong, Dalaguete is a small mountain village located near the company Dolomite Mining Corporation. The village is located 5 km away from the main road and can only be accessed via motorcycle-for-hires. Houses are located far from each other. There is an open area within the community where a small chapel and a volleyball court is situated. This is considered the center of the community.
The community has 11 households with about 30 residents. The population consists mostly of adults with only a few children and teenagers. The main source of livelihood is farming, the main crops being corn and green beans or haricots verts (commonly called Baguio beans in the Philippines). The corn produce is mostly for self-consumption while green beans are sold at PhP 2 (GPB 0.03) per kg at the nearby Mantalungon market. The other source of income is raising goats.
The village relies on natural springs for their water supply. The nearest spring is located in the next village, about 2 km from the community, called Tubod. The residents use water gallons and barrels to fetch and store water. The community also assembled rain catchment systems in their homes to store rain water for domestic use.
Houses are not connected to the grid, and they have no alternative source of electricity. Because it is located in a secluded area, connecting the community to the electric cooperative grid is not economically feasible. Some households use truck batteries to provide lighting and to power radios. These batteries need to be recharged at charging stations in the lower part of the barangay. Other residents who have mobile phones have to go down from the mountain village to the lower part of the barangay to charge their devices.
Design a community management system or policy framework appropriate for a remote village of dispersed households to sustain renewable energy use.
Barangay (village) Gilutongan in the municipality of Cordova, Cebu includes both Gilutongan and Nalusuan islands. The western coastline of Gilutongan Island is a legally declared marine sanctuary. The island can only be accessed by small tourist boats or bangkas. The total land area is 15.3 hectares (0.153 sq km). Residents live in small wooden houses with metal roofs. There are no other structures in the island community except for an elementary school.
As of 2012, Gilutongan Island has 1,543 residents in about 251 households. The main sources of income are ecotourism and seaweed culture. The other sources of income are small-scale fishing, vending, and gleaning and gathering of marine products.
The island has no local source of potable water. Residents buy water transported from the nearby Mactan Island using small motorized boats. In 2004, the cost of a 5-gallon jerry can of water is about PhP 15 (GBP 0.23). Electricity is provided via diesel generators and is available only from 6 pm to 10 pm. In 2004, the residents were charged PhP 20 daily (GBP 0.31) for electricity use. In 2015, Edison Lamps donated solar panels that were installed in the elementary school of the community. This allowed for power generation for school use.
Integrating RE to local ecotourism and aquaculture farming to boost the local economy.
Paypay is a village in the northern Cebu town of Daanbantayan. It is in one of the areas heavily damaged by supertyphoon Haiyan in 2013. To help displaced local fishermen and their families, the Philippine and French Red Cross, together with French NGO's, established the Red Cross Village in 2015. The village can be reached via public bus that goes to Daanbantayan.
The village has 128 houses with 127 households (one house is currently unoccupied), built on 1.3 hectares (0.013 sq km) of land. Each house has a floor area of 30 sqm. Most of the residents are engaged in fishing, while the rest are working in the livelihood center within the community.
The community is mostly powered by off-grid solar energy generated from two production facilities. The solar PV systems were donated by French NGO's and installed by Electricians Without Borders. The first production facility is rated at 13 kWp with 48 solar PV panels installed on the 175 sqm terraced roof of the day care and health centers. The second has 20 kWp with 72 PV panels installed on the 180 sqm roof of the livelihood center. Each household has a energy consumption limitation of 800 Watt-hours per day with a monthly fee of PhP 150 (GBP 2.30). There are diesel generators used to charge the batteries of the energy storage system when production from solar energy is not enough.
Modeling of the current hybrid system as a base for exploring opportunities of expansion to improve the effectiveness of the system for the evolving community.
Pangan-an Island was the first solar-powered island in the Philippines. The village can be reached can be reached via a 30-minute motorized boat ride from the port of Cordova. As of 2015, the island has about 3,490 residents in 405 households. The family income ranges from PhP 3,000 to 5,000 per month (GBP 46 to 77), which is well within the Philippine poverty line. Majority of the families are beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) – a flagship welfare program of the government. About 46% of the population is above 18 years old. The main sources of income are fishing, ecotourism and shell craft making for souvenir shops. Other families engage in seashore gleaning, village store retailing, boat servicing, and livestock raising.
Majority of the houses in the island are made of wood, coconut lumber, nipa roofing and bamboo. Some houses are made of concrete materials and galvanized iron sheets for the roof. There is an elementary and a high school building, a barangay hall, a health center and a basketball court.
In 1998 the government of Belgium, in cooperation with the Philippine Department of Energy and the LapuLapu City local government, installed an off-grid 45 kWp solar PV plant with energy storage that was operated and maintained by a cooperative established by the residents of the island. The off-grid system consisted of 504 90 Wp solar PV modules, 118 2V 1800 AH lead acid batteries, charge controllers, inverters and a low voltage distribution system. In 2011, the batteries of the plant has deteriorated so much that the energy storage system has stopped functioning and is no longer operational to date.
Currently, the solar PV power plant only functions during the day with a highly decreased efficiency. At night, the community uses a 32 kVA diesel generator to supply electricity from 6 pm until 10 pm. The island does not have any supply of potable water. Residents collect rainwater via their own water tanks and they buy potable water from neighboring islands.
Review of the community and business models implemented in the village that contributed to the failure of the renewable energy system of the island. What could have worked for Pangan-an to make the system successful?
Study the potential for rehabilitation of the off-grid solar PV power system. What would be the technical requirements? Will there be changes in the design? How much will it cost? How will rehabilitation be made economically viable?

Yesterday was not only field day at school for the boys, but also the First Grade Sing Along. All three first grade classes came together and sang a total of 10 songs as a group. Each class took their turn in the front row for 2 songs each. It was really special. The last song was We all live together and the kids all held hands at the end. Alex was on the end and he saw the kids holding hands so he reached over to the boy next to him and the boy wasn't sure what to do. He looked to his Dad in the front row and his Dad nodded to him to take Alex's hand so he did. It was a really special moment! Even his teacher saw it and was excited because she said he had never done that before in rehearsals. Afterward, Eric and I took the boys to A&W for Root beer floats - which they enjoyed very much. I cannot believe our boys are going to be second graders a week from today! I wish time would slow down!


191 pages, paperback, Oromedia, 1. edition 2006.
This is a generic primer that covers a wide range of subjects and cannot explain a lot of content in the limited space of these pages. That much is difficult to digest. Consequently, the person who wants to vigourously improve will be tired and concerned.
The point of publishing this book is as a general course for the people who want to continuously conveniently and easily advance. It is unreasonable to think that all of baduk can be put into one or several volumes. With this intent several important areas will be brought out to reduce the burden of explaining everything.
This series is planned to have a total of 10 volumes. It will cover from 20 kyu to 1 dan. This book is the first volume and is composed of four chapters.


Guess the favorite food of the User above you.
I would definitely, since I trust fluttershy.

Well I finally got the chance to watch this...My Hero Academia: Two Heroes.
granted but they don't know exactly what you wished for. I wish the world is like a anime.
I will start with Harry potter. Ginny. same?

Quisiera saber como centrar los elementos de forma vertical dentro de una GRID con Css mas que todo una imagen aquí les dejo el código y una imagen de como se ve.
Vi varios vídeos pero en general no aplican cuando están dentro de una GRID o en Responsive no se adaptan bien y quisiera saber como hacer de la mejor forma posible.

A: Se puede hacer con las propiedades align-content y align-items, pero además necesitas darle al grid la altura del contenedor:

header {
    background-color: #18162C;
}
.nav-box {
    background-color: rgb(36, 32, 80);
    width: 60%;
    margin: auto;
    height: 90px;
}
.image {
    width: 54px;
}
.nav-box ul li a {
    font-size: 20px;
    color: #ffffff;
    text-decoration: none;
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

.nav-box ul {
    text-align: center;
}

/* Aqui el Codigo de Css GRID */

.box-grid {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr);
    grid-template-rows: 1fr;
    grid-gap: 20px;
    align-content: center;
    align-items: center;
    height: 100%;
}

lorem

lorem

lorem

A: lo que puedes hacer es aplicarle a la clase CSS .nav-box lo siguiente:
.nav-box {
    background-color: rgb(36, 32, 80);
    width: 60%;
    margin: auto;
    height: 90px;
    display: grid;
    align-items: center;
}

Ahora se verá centrado verticalmente con solo aplicarle los atributos display: grid; y align-items: center;.
