The President's Medals are awarded annually, designed to recognise outstanding service to the cause of the humanities and social sciences, and are awarded for academic-related activity rather than academic achievement alone.
Service may be to one or more disciplines, but preference may be given to breadth of service.The Medals were first awarded in 2010.
There is no defined limit on what may qualify as outstanding service. Examples could include accurate and insightful journalism contributing to public understanding; meritorious use of research-based advice within the policymaking process; public leadership concerning the value and interests of research in humanities and social science; creative forms of support for humanities and social science within an institutional context; providing or securing resource to invest in research in these disciplines. Recipients of the medal may be anyone (likely to be UK-based, but overseas candidates are not excluded) who has done or achieved something suitably meritorious, either recently or over a longer period, which the Academy sees fit to recognise and reward. Recipients cannot be Fellows of the British Academy but could be individuals (academics, members of the media or business worlds, or policymakers) or organisations (universities, corporations, charities).
Nominations may only be made by Fellows of the British Academy. Nominations for the 2019 Medal have now closed.

There's a Taylor in all of us.
As college students, we all have different experiences of going out with our friends. Not one experience is the "right" way to do it, and every night out in college is one to remember. That being said, here is every stage of your night out as explained by Taylor Swift.
1. You have 4 assignments, 2 papers to write and an interview the next day. Just as soon as you sit down and begin to finish your work, you hear your roommates mention the even slight possibility of fun, and you run out of your room with a new found attitude. You are empowered and do not care about deadlines anymore.
2. Now that you made up your mind on going, you have to decide what to wear. You try on everything you own, come to a conclusion that you have no clothes, and wear your high school cheerleading uniform. It's okay because nothing can stop you now. You enter the party with a single track mind. You acquire a target, and you make your first move.
3. Depending on his reaction, you either head over there or you go straight to the bar to drown your sorrows. You underestimate the power of the jungle juice. You feel different. Your energy levels are at an all-time high. You feel happy, less stressed. You contemplate dancing on the tables. You haven't felt like this in a while.
4. You think of your exes and are quick to form generalizations. You fight your won battles. You ward off all the creepy stalker men that try to dance with you. You are a strong, independent person now.
5. As the night progresses and you feel loopier, your energy levels drop and you think of all the stupid decisions you've made in the past. You feel sad and you tell your friends that you love them no matter who they are. Suddenly, you feel wild and a rush of emotions. You pull out your phone and break up with your boyfriend.
6. The party starts dying down and your roommate is telling you that she needs to get you home. You know that she's in no state to do that but you love her so you let her mother you back home. You realize you made a mistake. But then you smile because you realize that on the bright side, you got a song out of it.
7. You go back to your dorm/ apartment room and eat some of your leftover pizza rolls. You try to be as quiet as possible to not wake up your other roommate that has an exam the next day. (because obviously, you decided to go out on a Wednesday). You don't take your make up off. You think of what you did, and realize you were wrong the whole time. Jungle juice is strong, but your memory is stronger. You go to sleep happy with yourself and your newfound relationship.

Third-Hand Smoke can Harm Respiratory System by Changing Gene Expressions: Study
A total of 382 genes among approximately 10,000 genes in the data set were significantly over-expressed and seven other genes were under-expressed, according to the study
The nasal membrane tissue is similar to those in the bronchus, so the researchers suggested that the damage could go deeper into the respiratory system. Flickr
The hazards of second-hand smoke are well-known. Now, scientists have found even third-hand smoke (THS) could do harm to one's respiratory health by changing gene expressions.
The study published in the latest edition of JAMA Network Open this week showed that the third-hand smoke can damage epithelial cells in the respiratory system, coercing those cells into a fight for survival, Xinhua news agency reported. THS results when the exhaled smoke and smoke emanating from the burning cigarettes settle on surfaces like clothing, hair and furniture.
The researchers from University of California, Riverside (UCR) obtained nasal scrapes from four healthy non-smoking women aged 27 to 49 years, who were randomized to receive the clean air exposure first and then THS exposure for three hours. The researchers extracted Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) from them to examine their gene expression changes.
Also, the researchers have found that the inhalation altered pathways associated with oxidative stress that may cause cancer in the long term. Flickr
A total of 382 genes among approximately 10,000 genes in the data set were significantly over-expressed and seven other genes were under-expressed, according to the study. "The THS inhalation for only three hours significantly altered gene expression in the nasal epithelium of healthy non-smokers," said the paper's first author Giovanna Pozuelos, a graduate student at UCR.

Also, the researchers have found that the inhalation altered pathways associated with oxidative stress that may cause cancer in the long term. The nasal membrane tissue is similar to those in the bronchus, so the researchers suggested that the damage could go deeper into the respiratory system.
"Many smoking adults think, 'I smoke outside, so my family inside the house will not get exposed.' But smokers carry chemicals like nicotine indoors with their clothes," said Prue Talbot, a professor at UCR, who led the research. "It's important to understand people that the THS is real and potentially harmful," said Talbot. (IANS)

Q: Access google cloud storage account objects from app engine Overview
I have a GCP storage bucket, which has a .json file and 5 jpeg files. In the .json file the image names match the jpeg file names. I want to know a way which i can access each of the object within the storage account based upon the image name.
Method 1 (Current Method):
Currently, a python script is been used to to get the images from the storage bucket. This is been done by looping through the .json file of image names, getting each individual image name, then building a URL based on the bucket/image name and retrieving the image and displaying it on a flask App Engine site.
This current method requires the bucket objects to be public, which poses a security issue with the internet granted access to this bucket, secondly it is computational expensive, with each image having to be pulled down from the bucket separately. The bucket will eventually contain 10000 images, which will result in the images been slow to load and display on the web page.
Requirement (New Method):
Is there a method in which i can pull down images from the bucket, not all the images at once, and display them on a web page. I want to be able to access individual images from the bucket and display their corresponding image data, retrieved from the .json file.
Lastly i want to ensure that neither the bucket or the objects are public and can only be accessed via the app engine.
Thanks

A: Would be helpful to see the Python code that's doing the work right now. You shouldn't need the storage objects to be public. They should be able to be retrieved using the Google Cloud Storage (GCS) API and a service account token that has view-only permissions on storage (although depending on whether or not you know the object names and need to get the bucket name, it might require more permissions on the service account).
As for the performance, you could either do things on the front end to be smart about how many you're showing and fetch only what you want to display as the user scrolls, or you could paginate your results from the GCS bucket.

One of the most important places to begin an examination of how to become an effective parent is to first determine what your goals are for your children. Do you have biblical or more humanistic goals? All parents have goals for their children, but are these goals biblically correct? Your parental goals are what you are trying to accomplish and achieve in your children's lives.
Now you may be wondering if setting a goal is in itself biblical. Absolutely! Paul commanded us as believers to pursue the highest goal. What is this highest and most important goal? He declared, "Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus" (Phil. 3:13-14). In the context of this passage, Paul reveals what his goals are and then what our goals should be. He wanted to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and to become conformed into Christ's likeness so that he might attain the resurrection from the dead (Phil. 3:10-11). These are truly worthy goals for every believer to pursue! Therefore, if you set personal goals for your Christian life, then you must also determine biblical goals for your parenting.
In setting these goals, it is very important that both husbands and wives agree. Mutual goals will produce success and help you to avoid working at cross purposes. There may be goals that are good, but these may not necessarily be primary goals. What do I mean by this? Is your goal to have happy and financially successful children when they grow up, or is your goal that they have a specific occupation? These goals in themselves are not wrong, but they are not the highest biblical goals that God reveals in His Word. Therefore, consider what your highest biblical goals should be.
What are the biblical goals for parenting?
1. Your primary goal should be to lead your children to Christ. The most fundamental goal of parenting is that your child should come into a personal relationship with Christ. God's desire is that everyone would be saved. The Apostle Peter explained that this was and is God's highest goal. Peter explained that, "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9). Therefore, leading your child to repentance is the primary parenting goal, which enables all the other goals to be accomplished.
Consequently, when your children are old enough to understand the truth of the gospel, will you lead them in a prayer of repentance? Or will you leave this responsibility to the church Sunday school ministry, or some other family member? Personally leading my children to Christ was more important to me than all the rest of my ministry. I remember praying as a young parent and told the Lord I considered the greatest success of my life and ministry to see my children in heaven one day. Do you see your life and ministry to your children this way?
2. Your goal must be to disciple them. The Bible teaches that as His disciples we are all called to make disciples. Jesus said to His disciples just before His ascension, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Matt. 28:19-20). Therefore, the first disciples you want to make should be your children.
In our church when children come of age and the fathers are believers, we ask these dads to publically baptize their own children at our local beach. This enables these fathers to take their place as the spiritual leader in their home. This is also an important spiritual example to the children that their father believes the commands of Christ and is willing to demonstrate his faith in public.
3. Disciple your children in such a way as to encourage them to put their hope in the Lord. Hope in God is what draws your children to Him, and what enables them to obey and follow Him all of the days of their lives. Note what the divine author stated as the responsibility of fathers in Psalm 78. He declares, "For He established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children; that the generation to come might know them, the children who would be born, that they may arise and declare them to their children, that they may set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments; and may not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that did not set its heart aright, and whose spirit was not faithful to God" (Ps. 78:5-8). Notice that the ultimate end of the father's instruction to his children is that they might set their hope in God, so they would not be a stubborn and rebellious individual. But, you will naturally ask how does a father achieve this outcome? That brings me to your next goal.
4. Train your children in the faith. Teaching and training your children is one of your primary jobs as a parent. This is also clearly indicated in Psalm 78:5, which I quoted above. The New Testament makes this responsibility equally clear. Paul said, "Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord" (Eph. 6:4). The word training in this verse means to educate or instruct. The word admonition means to discipline, warn or reprove.
Therefore, what is your plan to educate and train your children? When and how will you train them in the ways of the Lord? Will you fulfill your responsibility or will you relinquish your calling to the church Sunday school? If training your children is truly your goal, then you must have a plan.
5. Teach them discipline. True discipline begins with a respect for your authority as you teach, warn, and reprove your children. This submission to authority is clearly taught by Paul the apostle when He declared, "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right" (Eph. 6:1). The word obey in this verse means to heed authority. If your children do not learn to respect authority, they will struggle with submitting to all authority and especially to the authority of God. Note that Jesus was both submitted to the Father and to His parents (Luke 2:51).
As you teach and discipline your children, they ultimately will become self-controlled and self-disciplined. This is one of the fundamental goals for all discipleship. The Apostle Peter said, "But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness" (2 Peter 1:5-6).
The final goal of discipline is that your children learn to make independent decisions without direction from you. This was the reason that Solomon wrote the proverbs to his son (Prov. 1:1-10). Solomon wanted to instruct his son that he might learn the fear of the Lord and not be enticed by sinners.
6. Lead your children into the fear of God. How do you lead your children into the fear of the Lord? The fear of the God is primarily accomplished by teaching your children the word of God. Moses explained to the people of God exactly how this should be done. He said, "Only take heed to yourself, and diligently keep yourself, lest you forget the things your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. And teach them to your children and your grandchildren, especially concerning the day you stood before the Lord your God in Horeb, when the Lord said to me, 'Gather the people to Me, and I will let them hear My words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.' " (Deut. 4:9-10).
There are two very important principles in this passage. First, teaching the Scriptures is what allows your children to hear God's Word directly from Him, just as the children of Israel heard. The second principle is that you must share your personal experience with your children, just as the Jews explained the moment that they stood before God at Mount Horeb and saw His great power manifested before them. Have you ever shared your personal conversion experience with your children? Explain to them how you were saved from your sin and how He has changed your life.
7. Your ultimate goal must be to see your children's hearts changed. If you follow all of the above principles, this will give you the best opportunity to see their hearts changed. What do you want for your children - behavior modification, or a changed heart? You can pressure, manipulate, and force your children to do what you want, but this will not bring a changed heart. Notice the goal that is clearly stated in Psalm 78:8. God wants your children to set their hearts aright, not just have behavior modification or external change. Jesus clearly recognized that the Pharisees had behavior modification, but their hearts were far from Him (Mark 7:6). He understood that the heart of man must be changed if God was ever to be enthroned in their hearts. The heart is the source of all that is good or evil (Matt. 15:19). This is why you are commanded in Scripture: "Keep your heart with all diligence for out of it spring the issues of life" (Prov. 4:23).
How can you reach these biblical goals?
It is one thing to have the correct biblical goals, but how are you going to reach these goals? What steps do you need to take so you can implement your plan to reach these goals? Application of the truth is just as important as the truth itself.
1. Pray with and for your children continually. Prayer is the first step to take to introduce your child to fellowship with God. When your children see and hear you pray you are displaying an understanding that God exists, that there is someone higher than you as the parent, and that you are accountable to God. Prayer with your children is usually the first way they recognize that there is an unseen and mighty God. You are a powerful example in this regard. Note what the psalmist declared concerning his son: "Prayer also will be made for Him continually, and daily He shall be praised" (Ps. 72:15). As you pray for your children, God will give you wisdom and insight into their heart, and how to best minister to them. Remember, "The effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much" (James 5:16).
2. Disciple your children in the Word. Teaching your children the Word of God is another way that you introduce them to your heavenly Father. As you teach them the Scriptures, you are planting the seed of the Word of God in their hearts. Therefore, you need a plan for when you are going to teach your children and what you will teach them. God had a plan for disciplining the kings of Israel and the people. God determined that He wanted all the Kings of Israel to have a copy of the Law so that, "It shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord his God and be careful to observe all the words of this law and these statutes" (Deut. 17:19).
The Lord had a similar plan to disciple the people of the land. God commanded Moses to gather the people at the Feast of Tabernacles, and every seven years the Law would be read in the hearing of all of the men, women, and children. God's purpose in taking this action was to firmly plant in the people an understanding of who God is and what He requires (Deut. 31:9-13).
One of the most effective ways to do formal teaching with children is to open the Scriptures at the breakfast or dinner table. I found this was the only time we were all together and had gathered for one purpose - to eat together. I realized that when I had to stop my children from whatever they were doing in order to come to devotions, it seemed I was always getting someone irritated with me. However, at breakfast or dinner, I had a captive audience. They didn't want to be any other place and they were eager to listen. I would simply share what God was speaking to me from my personal devotional time. Many times this would open a discussion with the entire family about spiritual things. Try it, it works!
3. Give consistent discipline. Disciplining your children in a consistent manner communicates several things: (1) there is an authority that is over them (Luke 7:8), (2) there is a right and wrong way of living that you believe is true (Prov. 4:11), (3) there is a consequence for sinful disobedience (Col. 3:25). Remember that you are to, "bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord" (Eph. 6:4). The Bible is also clear that both mom and dad are to participate equally in this task (Prov. 1:8).
The discipline you give out to your children must be in accordance with biblical methods and with true love. Have you ever made a study of Scripture as to how God disciplines you? This would be very worthwhile to do. Remembering always, that "whom the Lord loves He chastens" (Heb. 12:6).
4. Seek a change of heart through honest repentance, confession, and forgiveness. If you truly desire to reach your children's heart and see their attitude change, then you must teach them a biblical method of reconciliation with both God and others. You must consistently train them in this regard if you desire your children to have a successful relationship with God and other people.
What are some of these biblical principles that enable reconciliation? (1) You must teach them honest self-evaluation (Matt. 7:5). (2) They must learn to be specific in their confession of fault (James 5:16). (3) They must learn to forgive anyone for anything (Mark 11:25). (4) You must train them to control their anger (Prov. 16:32). (5) They must learn to communicate truthfully and lovingly (Eph. 4:15). (6) You must teach them to find agreement through compromise (Matt. 5:25). (7) They must learn how to take the correct biblical action even if others will not (Rom. 5:8).
5. Consistent praise. I have found throughout my counseling ministry that there is a lack of verbal praise and approval in most homes. It is so easy to only focus on what your children are doing wrong, and forget to give them a "well done." But, without a "well done" from you, your children will begin to think that everything they do is wrong. There is a critical balance between correction and praise. If you want to reach your biblical goals in parenting, you must find this balance. The Psalmist encouraged this balance when he said, "Prayer also will be made for Him continually, and daily He shall be praised" (Ps. 72:15).
6. Be a Godly example. Are you an example to your children of all you are teaching them? Paul remarked to Timothy that he saw a "genuine faith" in him that was first exemplified in his mother and grandmother (2 Tim. 1:5). Do your children see the genuine reflection of Christ in you? To be this example, you must avoid any double standard in your life. You cannot say "do as I say, not as I do." Remember, your children are watching what you do more than what you say. They will only consider your lifestyle as hypocrisy. Paul said, "The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you" (Phil. 4:9).
7. Spend time with them. The Bible teaches nothing about "quality" vs. "quantity" of time. It is impossible to fulfill these goals without spending considerable time with your children. Time together is where your informal teaching and example will rub off on them. Note the instruction by Moses to the parents of his day. "These words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up" (Deut. 6:6-7). Notice that God declares when you are to communicate your goals and values. God says when you sit together in your home, or when you walk together, or at bed time, or when you rise in the morning, communicate God's truth and encourage one another. This requires time together. Are you truly spending the necessary time together to accomplish your biblical goals for your children?
8. You must be growing and maturing just as your children. True biblical parenting requires mature and loving decisions from a parent that is listening to the Holy Spirit. However, you cannot give something to your children that you do not personally possess. Paul declared, "For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received" (1 Cor. 15:3). Each child brings new and different questions and challenges that will push you to the limit of your patience and understanding. Therefore, you must be willing to allow God to transform you into the person He wants you to be. Only as you grow in your personal relationship with Christ will He enable you to become an effective parent. If you will seek the Lord with all your heart, He will be found by you. Christ will empower you to fulfill this important task of biblical parenting. Jesus said, "For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened" (Matt. 7:8).


U.S. FBI Supervisory Special Agent Gregory J. Rahoi, 38, of Brookfield, WI, assigned to the Hostage Rescue Team, based in Quantico, VA, was killed on December 6, 2006, during a live-fire tactical training exercise at Fort A.P. Hill, near Bowling Green, VA.
He is survived by his parents, Natalie and Richard, sister Teri, and fiancee Paula Paulk.
I carried a rose for him at our memorial earlier this month. Wish I could make it to this one.


It's not surprising there's a podcast called Denzel Washington Is the Greatest Actor of All Time Period. He's great in prestige dramas like Malcolm X, great in crowd-pleasers like Remember the Titans, and he's even great in terrible action movies like Safe House and the first Equalizer. His ability to elevate any material is a gift that only a handful of actors have. So if he keeps getting fat paychecks for movies like this, while still finding time for Oscar-worthy work in movies like Fences and Flight, well that's just fine.
One of the many reasons I miss Tony Scott is that he had a way of turning the most boilerplate action films into something resembling work. His collaborations with Washington (Man on Fire in particular) are some of both guys' best work. Since Scott's death, Washington has reunited three times with Antoine Fuqua, who directed him to a long overdue Oscar in Training Day. But Fuqua's no Tony Scott. In fact, he's one of our weakest directors, making movies that are at best passable versions of things we've seen before. Occasional use of slo-mo does not an auteur make.
The first Equalizer was a grim compilation of gratuitous violence without style. It paled in comparison to John Wick, released just a month later. But Denzel kept your eyes glued to the screen, as Robert McCall, a lone badass righting wrongs throughout the city (and later, implausibly, around the world).
The sequel improves upon the original in every way, mainly by making McCall's vengeance personal. His old co-worker Susan (Melissa Leo) is marked for death the moment she tells him "I'm the only friend you've got," getting killed while investigating a murder in Brussels. McCall turns to their mutual friend Dave (Pedro Pascal) to find the killers.
You can see the twist coming a mile away, and the extended metaphor of an "approaching storm" that becomes literal is a plodding screenwriter mistake. But Dave Wenk's script makes up for this by including a strong subplot in which McCall mentors a surly but talented teen (Ashton Sanders, Moonlight) in his apartment building, keeping him away from gang violence and indulging his creative side.
Both of these stories collide in the third act, culminating in a finale that's basically incoherent. McCall has a big showdown with the bad guys in his hometown, which is directly in the path of a hurricane. It's a big, expensive set piece that mainly functions to show off its sound effects editing. (Go for that Oscar, guys.) But you can barely see the action, and its final mano e mano is 90 percent Denzel's stunt double.
Still, The Equalizer 2 is a step up from the original, raising the stakes and making an effort that's not just watchable, it's occasionally even enjoyable.

Mitaka should support v2.25 of the Nova API?
Or do we just need to backport the fix for horizon to query the lock status and provide the toggle option as required?
On the assumption that we need to fix horizon (rather than the charm), moving the target to Ubuntu/Horizon.
The attachment "fix_1725421.debdiff" seems to be a debdiff. The ubuntu-sponsors team has been subscribed to the bug report so that they can review and hopefully sponsor the debdiff. If the attachment isn't a patch, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are member of the ~ubuntu-sponsors, unsubscribe the team.
I've updated the bug description and title as it was discussing 2 different scenarios.
+ "Lock/Unlock Instance" should not be shown at same time.
Shane, thanks for the patch. I have the package ready to upload. I'm combining it into 2:9.1.2-0ubuntu4 with the fix for LP: #1613900, which hasn't been accepted into proposed yet (meltdown/spectre are blocking LP builders). I've requested the current upload of 2:9.1.2-0ubuntu4 to be rejected and will then upload the same version with both bugs fixed in one version.
Updated horizon 2:9.1.2-0ubuntu4 is now in the unapproved queue awaiting SRU review.
Unsubscribing ubuntu-sponsors since it looks like no additional sponsoring is required.
Could somebody test this? Its blocking another SRU of horizon for Ubuntu 16.04.
Currently working on verification. I'm running into an issue where the (mitaka) nova-api isn't returning the 'locked' field which this patch relies on.
Hi Shane, if this isn't working we need to reject it as we have other fixes queued up that need to get into proposed for testing.
I chatted with Shane and he agreed we'd tag this as verification-failed so that we can unblock other SRUs. Once there is a new fix for this we can upload it after the currently blocked SRUs.

Why ambidextrous companies should prioritize vision and purpose and not strategy
The word ambidexterity has fascinated me for years - from a phonetic and semantic point of view. In discussions with founders or corporate managers as well as from research I learned about some of the frustrations and threats which arise when companies don't initiate necessary adjustments to accommodate for their ambidextrous dichotomy.
What does ambidexterity mean?
Ambidexterity describes the ability to use both the right and left hand equally well.
Organizational ambidexterity refers to an organisation's ability to be efficient in its management of today's business whilst at the same time remain adaptable for coping with tomorrow's changing demand and produce breakthrough innovation. Following the analogy of left and right handedness, organizational ambidexterity requires the organizations to use both exploration and exploitation techniques to be successful (source: wikipedia.com).
Ambidexterity as a pre-requisite for successful breakthrough innovation
Already years ago, studies showed (i.e. HBR 2004, O'Reilly III & Tushman) that ambidextrous organizations are significantly more successful in launching breakthrough products or services than other organizational structures (i.e. cross-functional teams, unsupported teams or project teams integrated in an existing structure).
The reasons for ambidextrous superiority (when managed well) are manifold: The structure of ambidextrous organizations allows cross-fertilization among units while preventing cross-contamination. Tight coordination at the managerial level enables the "undeveloped" units to leverage important resources from the traditional units (such as budget, talent, expertise, customers, etc.).
The organizational separation guarantees that the new units' distinctive processes, structures, and cultures are not overwhelmed by the forces of "business as usual." At the same time, the established units are shielded from the distractions of launching new businesses; they can invest attention and energy on refining operations, improving products, and serving customers (compare HBR 2004, The Ambidextrous Organization).
Ambidextrous organizations are hard to steer due to their contradictory nature
Ambidextrous organizations encompass two profoundly different types of businesses—those focused on exploiting existing capabilities for profit and those focused on exploring new opportunities for growth. The two demand distinct strategies, structures, processes, and cultures.
- Competence and mindset: While exploitative activities require rather operational competencies focusing on efficiency and incremental innovation, explorative undertakings require an entrepreneurial, highly adaptive mindset with an ambition to produce break-through innovation.
- Organizational structure: From a structural point of view, exploitative units are set up formally and mechanistically – mostly with hierarchical character. Explorative ventures are organized loosely, often in networks or fluid teams with flat hierarchies.
- Incentives and performance: In exploitative business high profit margins and productivity are rewarded, embedded in an efficiency- driven, risk-averse culture where quality and customers come first. Exploratory businesses embrace risk-taking, speed and experimentation. KPIs are rather growth-oriented and milestone-focused.
- Leadership style: Traditionally, the leadership style displayed in exploitative settings can be described as authoritative and top down whereas in exploratory environments it is visionary, often inclusive, humble and on eye-to-eye level.
As we saw, exploratory and exploitative businesses differ diametrically from various point of views. And that's why we sometimes see them clash in real life. To avoid managing by two different textbooks, some companies outsource or spin off explorative business – sometimes in form of i.e., subsidiaries, satellite approaches, formalized external cooperation and others. The intention is to let the explorative business grow without distraction whilst the core business can continue based on established principles and practices.
Ambidextrous role models establish a uniting culture and dichotomous management practices
Companies which launch exploratory businesses inhouse whilst maintaining their exploitative business succeed by:
1. Building a corporate culture which marries the diversity of the explorative, versatile subculture with the company's traditions and values of the exploitative line organization. A culture which equally confronts and counteracts the envy of the conventional business towards the cultural and financial degrees of freedom of the explorative unit (often, the explorative unit applies new ways of working, has access to high performing teams as well as large budgets despite the lack of noticeable economic successes or tangible future potential).
2. Adjusting the rigid and calendar-based business steering so that it meets the needs of an agile world with sprints, feedback loops and experimentative mindset.
3. Compensating for the fact that long-term business strategy will lose impact and relevance – also due to increasing market dynamics. They define alternatives for strategic and short-term decision-making including budget distribution and prioritization which reflects the mindset and approach of an explorative unit.
4. Mitigating HR related challenges such as the downturn of traditional coaching on the job or annual feedback discussions as especially in explorative units the developmental needs are defined bottom up by employees and feedback is exchanged in high frequency. The unpredictable and volatile nature of explorative businesses contradict the cyclical rhythm of incentives. Successes and learnings of the innovation business may no longer be properly reflected nor rewarded in existing incentive schemes.
An external perspective can assist ambidextrous managers to strike a balance
The ones put in charge to manage, exploit and explore both worlds – the traditional business and innovation ventures – swing between efficiency and innovation-focused activities. They take the helicopter view whilst maintaining an eye for operational detail. In coaching, many of those leaders find sparring to identify and overcome challenges and develop individual success strategies. Sometimes also to manage fear of failure or to anticipate and reflect what's next. In this context it can be useful to
- Become aware of the distinct tasks and responsibilities as an ambidextrous leader. It is not self-evident for all leaders how employees and teams in both organizational setups need and want to be led. Self-reflection of systematic and continuous application of situational leadership can be a first step. Reflections with a neutral sparring partner can shed light on: How do employee needs and expectations differ in my explorative vs. exploitative team? Which behavior and actions do I display in which? How do I maintain fairness and transparency with both units? How do I develop, retain and coach employees which operationally no longer work for me, but for the explorative project and still report to me? How do I secure quality and performance in my team after a top talent left to work for the explorative venture? How do I overcome the detachment from a content and interaction point of view?
- Develop a USP and reputation uniting the contradicting elements of the mandate. The USP ideally is of value in both "organizational worlds" to ensure long-term employability in any of the two. Jointly with a coach, scenarios can be outlined and assessed. Impulses for reflection could be: What is my professional next step once established structures and proven success strategies dissolve? To what extend do I still have a future in the "traditional part of the business" after having worked in the innovative arm? How do I maintain trust of and connectivity to my peers of the traditional unit while building an explorative one with different rules to the game? To what extend do relevant jobs continue to exist in the old structure if my company invests in new ventures? How do I need to expand my knowledge and skill portfolio to continue to steer projects in the future? Which skills will be required 10 years from now? How do I escape the dead-end street in case the explorative venture fails?
Coaching can be beneficial for ambidextrous top management
Top management oversees the aggregated challenges of its' ambidextrous organization – thereby acting as ambidextrous managers.
Top management will find it ever more challenging to develop one robust, overarching strategic guidance for operational as well as pioneering activities due to the increasingly competitive and complex markets and differing business activities. Consulting can help to identify a compromising solution such as a compelling vision entailing the company's ambition and purpose to provide direction, motivate and guide explorative and exploitative units equally. The vision can only unfold its motivational purpose if communicated relentlessly by the company's senior team. The strategic frame becomes secondary and outlines the joint playing field including broader business priorities, principles of collaboration or degrees of freedom for decision making.
The conflict between focusing on innovation versus efficiency can be addressed by adopting a portfolio approach (HBR 2004, O'Reilly III & Tushman): On the one hand, a set of cash generating activities can be considered a source for survival. On the other hand, focus may lay on activities aimed at developing a new business model or a product. These sets of activities may also gradually move from innovation focus to efficiency focus (or vice versa). Through such a mechanism the organization's portfolio as a whole remains balanced. A portfolio balance may also be achieved by acquisition of assets with complementary focus (i.e. acquisition targets may have innovation focus when the acquiring company's focus on efficiency).
Ambidextrous circumstances require a mindset shift in workforce planning, too. Headcount but especially future-oriented skills and capabilities will need to be thoroughly anticipated and planned – and either sourced or developed inhouse.
It becomes evident that ambidextrous top management can no longer aim to dig deep into details of operational day-to-day, assimilate the bandwidth of topics and responsibilities in innovation networks or find solutions for explorative and exploitative challenges. First and foremost, it will need to provide visionary guidance and a fertile playing field for all areas of the organization.

Maybe because the weather has been so mild, or maybe because my body is craving greens, I seem to be back to my green smoothie routine. I temporarily left them behind for much of the last two to three months in favor of warm grains in the morning.
The food co-op had beautiful bright green dandelion greens Sunday so I couldn't resist picking up a bunch from Lady Moon Farms. I've learned that dandelions (tampopo, in Japanese—yes, like the movie) are ranked in the top 5 green vegetables for nutritional value. They are incredibly rich in beta-carotene (Vitamin A), as well as Vitamin C, calcium, iron, protein, potassium, and magnesium. They are also rich in micronutrients like copper, cobalt, zinc, and Vitamin D. The vitamins and minerals found in dandelions can reduce inflammation of the liver, stabilize blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and reduce the risk of strokes.
Add everything to a blender and puree until smooth, approximately 1 minute. You could also add a little bit of fresh ginger to spice up the smoothie. Makes about 20 oz of smoothie.

ONEUS Is Coming To The US! Here's Our Dream Setlist!
New Music!
From being on the Coachella lineup for 2022 to joining the charts with bbno$ on 'edamame,' Rich Brian is on fire! Nearly two years after the release of his 2020 EP 1999, Brightside was officially released on January 20th. The four-track EP is composed of four new songs.

LETS GOOOOOOOOO pic.twitter.com/YxXFR2Jzj7
— Rich Brian (@richbrian) January 13, 2022
A Deeper Dive
From these tracks alone, we see some slower, more melodic sounds with 'Sunny.' It's the perfect song for a sunset drive! With 'Lagoon,' we get two entirely different tempos, with a shift in the mix which we're all here for. Speaking of tempo switches, we can hear some of that with 'New Tooth' as well. Rich Brian digs into introspective thoughts on a lot of these tracks, which we love.
'Getcho Mans' features fellow Indonesian rapper, Warren Hue as the only featured artist on Brightside. While both rappers have collaborated on Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings: The Album, we're stoked to see the duo collaborate on more music. The track itself features a lively beat accompanied by incredible, rapid-fire verses from both artists.
[apple_music_ad artist="Rich Brian"]
It Doesn't Stop There!
Rich Brian has experienced a great deal of success and exposure in the past couple of years. From becoming a key role of Asian/Asian American platform and label, 88rising to being a headliner at 88rising's Head In The Clouds Festival since 2018, the triumph doesn't stop there. With his collaborations with Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings: The Album, Brian joined forces with huge names in the rap game. From collaborating with icons like 21 Savage and Rick Ross, Rich Brian shows no signs of stopping anytime soon.

Jokowi criticized for not taking side of indigenous people
Apriadi Gunawan
Tanjung Gusta, North Sumatra / Sun, March 19, 2017 / 10:41 am
Enthusiastic: Participants of the fifth congress of the Indigenous People's Alliance of the Archipelago (AMAN) in Tanjung Gusta, Deli Serdang regency, North Sumatra, on March 18, discuss the rights of indigenous people. (JP/Apriadi Gunawan)
Participants of the fifth congress of the Indigenous People's Alliance of the Archipelago (AMAN) on Saturday evaluated President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo's nine-point priority agenda, known as Nawacita, coming to the conclusion that it had not yet served the interests of indigenous people in Indonesia.
AMAN Congress organizing committee head Arifin Monang Saleh said the evaluation of the President's Nawacita was one of important agenda items up for discussion during the congress.
The congress' participants evaluated six points of the Nawacita program, he said, including the implementation of Constitutional Court (MK) ruling No. 35 on customary forests, the deliberation of the indigenous people bill, the establishment of a national commission for indigenous people, the settlement of conflicts in customary communities and the implementation of a law on customary villages.
"The six Nawacita points related to indigenous people in the country have not yet been realized. We very much regret this," Arifin told The Jakarta Post on the sidelines of the congress in Tanjung Gusta, Deli Serdang regency, on Saturday.

The results of the Nawacita evaluation by congress participants will be further discussed in the commission for recommendation, resolution and declaration.
"We will announce what they [indigenous people] have recommended to realize the Nawacita program at the end of the congress," said Arifin.
The last agenda item of the congress, which will end on Sunday, is the selection and inauguration of the National AMAN Council and AMAN secretary general for the 2017-2022 period. (ebf)

best florida oranges
Frankly I'm relieved to have found a navel this good so I wouldn't go down in the books as a complete hater. While it's juicy and tart, there's something almost artificial tasting and flat about it. Murcotts), cara caras, blood oranges, Minneolas, clementines, Valencias, an Ugli, and a few other varieties. At Florida Fruit Shippers® we never ship Florida citrus from storage. So much power for such a tiny fruit! I nearly broke a thumbnail digging into the chalky skin and my reward for the trouble was arid, listless, bitter fruit. It's almost laughable how loud and full this flavor is. The knobbled peel was satisfyingly loose and easily gave way to generous, sweet, tart, deeply flavored segments that were delightfully easy to separate and dry to the touch, but a genuine treat and a perfect snacking tangerine. And no, I couldn't get my hands on a precious Hallabong, but I was able to get a good sense of what makes a particular orange something I'd be happy to peel and eat. I went in predisposed not to like it because cara caras just aren't my particular jam (as you may have discerned by now), but I was swayed by the lack of that nasty, cloying aftertaste that's characteristic of cara caras. It doesn't really taste like much—this varies wildly by year. Pineapple Oranges Countryside Citrus was established in 1997, which has allowed our team to provide the industry with some of the freshest and most delicious citrus available on the East Coast. Photo by Kat Kinsman, I Tried 45 Oranges and This Is the Best One. The pocket-sized, easy-peeling mandarins aren't necessarily outstanding, but they're consistent and correct. It packed such a punch of sour that lingered so long you might not need more than one—though of course you're gonna house half a dozen. Boom—straight to the face like an orange lollipop. This orange was like a Victorian convalescent child confined to the nursery who subsists on tea-dampened toast. Falling face-first in a grove of these would be a dream, just mind the seeds. The scent was enticing, the juice a-flowing, but the acid burn at the back of the tongue was just a bit too intense to be pleasant. This orange had a thinner peel, but the acid level was practically punishing. The navel orange is large, meaty, and full of flavor. Like licking the Dum-Dums stick after the pop is gone. One of the oranges in the sack had a sticker that referred to New Year's Eve 2017 and I'm trying not to think about that too much. This mottled fella won't win any beauty prizes and cripes, what a pain to peel and segment (a juice orange is meant to be sliced and, well, juiced rather than peeled and segmented, but I was on a particular mission). Maybe eat one of these instead of a pile of no-name clems from anywhere other than a red sack from a grocery store where elderly women are closely inspecting every bit of produce they're going to buy. They're the perfect treat to start the day, perk up an afternoon snack or to garnish a gourmet meal. Oranges are my favorite fruit, and if I didn't see another one until next winter, I'd be OK with that. This is an orange that knows exactly who it is and does not apologize. The powerful citron scent was a promising start, but it gave way to segments with very little flavor, a riot of seeds, and lots of webby pith. Oranges are ideal for their juice. What a weird, pointy little fruit, and a welcome break to the monotony of orange orbs. In fact Americans love orange juice from Florida so much the growers only export … MyRecipes may receive compensation for some links to products and services on this website. Oranges—or at least what I'm classifying as oranges here—vary wildly in flavor and juiciness, even if they're of the same cultivar in the same year and from the same orchard. The fruit inside was sunny and full, juicy, with very little tartness and a distinctive honeyed sweetness. A perfectly adequate mandarin. If I'd not eaten one billion honey tangerines in service of this experiment, I'd probably be more impressed but as it stands, I'll stick to whiffing. If you're looking for a simple recipe to simplify your weeknight, you've come to the right place--easy dinners are our specialty. There was a curious little nipple at the top of this orange, but not much more set it apart from the pack. Juicy, full segments, an ideal pocket orange. They're only available for a brief time each year, so if you've gotta get your fix, I get it, but if you truly care about cara cara, you can hold out for better. This may be just a me thing, but if I can buy a stem-on orange, I do. A little bitter. © Copyright 2020 Meredith Corporation. Valencia Oranges: Temple Tangerines and/or Temples & Rubys: From $30.95 From $29.95 From $29.95 Zipper skins and fun to eat Spring Classic. A good orange tastes of the sun and sky. The peel clung tightly to a ruby interior that I could easily be convinced was that of a grapefruit. The peel was a beast and needed to be nicked with a knife to come away, but it ripped away with no pith and contained extremely juicy (no shock) fruit that was too bitter and acidic to pick up and eat, but might likely rock in a smoothie or tempered with another fruit in a drink. There's a pleasing array of segment sizes within this tough-peeling navel, and they all seemed to pop with the most ideal sweet-tart balance that I encountered in this orange-eating odyssey. Everybody understands the stuggle of getting dinner on the table after a long day. It would have been less of a disappointment had the initial bite not delighted me, but my pleasure plopped straight off a cliff after a few seconds. I tried a second from another location a couple weeks later because I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt and I was equally disappointed.

Q: How to compare dates in Django templates I would like to compare a date to the current date in Django, preferably in the template, but it is also possible to do before rendering the template. If the date has already passed, I want to say "In the past" while if it is in the future, I want to give the date.
I was hoping one could do something like this:
{% if listing.date <= now %}
     In the past
{% else %}
     {{ listing.date|date:"d M Y" }}
{% endif %}

With now being today's date, but this does not work. I couldn't find anything about this in the Django docs. Can anyone give some advice?

A: addition to @bx2 beneficial answer, if your field is a datetime field just call date() function to models datetimefield:
from datetime import date

@property
def is_past_due(self):
    if date.today() > self.date.date():
        return True
    return False

EDIT: i think this could be shrunken to:
from datetime import date

@property
def is_past_due(self):
    return date.today() > self.date.date()

A: As of Django 1.8 the following slightly distasteful construct does the job:
{% now "Y-m-d" as todays_date %}
{% if todays_date < someday|date:"Y-m-d" %}

It's not too late!

{% endif %}

Hackish, but it avoids the need for a custom tag or context processor.

A: I believe the easiest way to achieve this is by importing datetime in your views.py and passing today's date as context data.
context['today'] = datetime.date.today()

Then in the template tags you could do something like this.
 {% if listing.date < today % }

This way if you are passing a list of objects as context, you can apply the filter to each line as you output it in the HTML template.  I had a list of items that I had filtered out and was using Bootstrap to stylize as I displayed them.  I wanted to make overdue dates stand out and applied the filtering only if one of my dates was less than today's date.

A: Compare date in the view, and pass something like in_the_past (boolean) to the extra_context.
Or better add it to the model as a property.
from datetime import date

@property
def is_past_due(self):
    return date.today() > self.date

Then in the template:
{% if listing.is_past_due %}
    In the past
{% else %}
    {{ listing.date|date:"d M Y" }}
{% endif %}

Basically the template is not the place for date comparison IMO.

A: I added date_now to my list of context processors.
So in the template there's a variable called "date_now" which is just datetime.datetime.now()
Make a context processor called date_now in the file context_processors.py
import datetime

def date_now(request):
    return {'date_now':datetime.datetime.now()}

And in settings.py, modify CONTEXT_PROCESSORS to include it, in my case it's
app_name.context_processors.date_now

A: You can always pass datetime.datetime.now (since django models use Python's standard datetime object).
Using render_to_response, you could do something like this (after importing datetime):
return render_to_response('template.html', {'now': datetime.datetime.now()})

Now that you have access to "now" inside of the template, you can compare dates just like you did in your examples.
Furthermore, if you use RequestContext in your views - you will be able to add "now" as a context_processor if you need this in multiple files. This will add "now" to any template rendered with a RequestContext.
However, it is more realistic that you simply just get the list of records that are before now in your original queryset and avoid querying for useless data in the first place:
listing.objects.filter(date__lt=datetime.datetime.now())

A: You can have 2 tasks.

*

*You must show the object using DetailView. You can solve this problem by using a function that passes a boolean value to the template. However, keep in mind that in django you cannot compare a date from a SQL database with datetime.datetime.now(), since the second option does not contain time zone information.
Use django.utils.timezone.now().

*You must style the object from the ListView. Then I advise you to use a custom filter that you will call in the template.

@register.filter
def compare_date(date):
   if not date:
      return False
   return date < timezone.now()

A: If you use Django, you could use the bellow code(https://stackoverflow.com/a/3798865/17050678).
In your models.py
@property
def is_past_due(self):
    today = datetime.datetime.today()
    return today > self.start_date

But it will take an error to you. like this:
can't compare offset-naive and offset-aware datetimes

So you should take the timezone type like the bellow.
import pytz
@property
def is_past_due(self):
    today =     datetime.datetime.today().astimezone(pytz.timezone('Asia/Tokyo'))
    return today > self.start_date

Then you could compare it in your template.
{% if schedule.is_past_due %}
/*your code here*/
{% endif %}

A: I found this question and had a similar problem. I was looking to display information if it had only occurred in the past.
Using Django's "timesince" tag in the template I was able to solve my problem. I'm not saying it's efficient, but it works for me.
In Template:
{% if model_name.date_time|timesince >= "1 min" %}

In the past

{% else %}

{{ model_name.date_time }}

{% endif %}


In this episode, Martin Guerana, a sustainable agriculture specialist with NCAT's ATTRA – the National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service – talks with Brett Melone, the Director of Lending with California FarmLink.
California FarmLink, which began in 1999, helps beginning, limited-resource, immigrant, and other underserved farmers who are trying to get access to land or financing. It is particularly focused on the Central Coast, Central Valley, and North Coast regions of California.
Martin, who works out of the NCAT Western Regional Office in Davis, California, spoke with Brett during the Ecological Farming Association's recent EcoFarm Conference in Pacific Grove, California.
Brett gives advice for farmers who might be in a position to come to California Farm Link for assistance and how they should prepare to begin a search for land access. He also talks about organizations that can help, both in California and around the country.


Molly Flanders: What Inspires You?
Is it print or pattern?
Is it shape or form?
Is it found in architecture?
Do you actively seek out your inspiration or does it just happen?
Picking up a little inspiration for some Shoo-fly fun!
YOU inspire me! your amazing design eye, use of color, and patterns make me want to sew more than anything!
What a fabulous post! All those photos, of course, inspire! I agree with Nicke- you're the inspiration to sew more AND better!
i get inspired by other quilts and blogs that show lots of pics of quilts. i get ideas about color and such too from that.
That's a really good question, Mary. Many different things inspire me and in different ways. I want to make a birdhouse for my garden and I may see a home on a walk with a shape perfect for one - or the home may inspire pottery or a painting. The garden may inspire a painting or a quilt. Even clouds have inspired paintings! Other people's creations (like yours!) also inspire me. I guess the easiest thing to say is life is my inspiration!
Great post. I'm inspired buy color mostly and then shapes. I seem to be revisiting my childhood, when I chose to use every color in the crayon box at least once. That's what must have formed my love of scrap quilts.
I agree with the person who said that you inspire me. That often happens to me when I'm reading your posts. That aside, I totally am inspired by architectural elements, usually very seemingly mundane--maybe a linoleum floor in a fast food restaurant. Your blocks are fabulous! I really like the freedom you are giving to the shoofly and the color combinations. And that orange teapot is to die for!
I love your liberated shooflys - I made some of these as part of a swap and they were a lot of fun to make. I'm also in love with your redware plate. I have a small collection myself.
I'm inspired by colors and everything aroundme - and using colors to convey/create a mood.
A beautiful post! Sometimes I'm compelled to play with certain colours, other times a fabric jumps out at me and has to be used. Nature, buildings, art, even music all make me want to create. There is so much inspiration everywhere!
I'm sure didn't intend for this to be about you, Mary, but I am another one who would say that you and your blog have inspired me from the first time I read it. Other inspiration comes from books, magazines, art, flower arrangements, advertisements, product packaging, fabric design and color, of course!
Gorgeous pics...color & pattern inspire me I think.
I am generally inspired by something linear and colorful. Not so much for curves. Nature also works.
Now I REALLY want to make one of these squares! I love the complete off symmetry look.
Color, fabric, and seeing what other people create (like you) always inspire me. Too many ideas, not enough time!
Thank you for some lovely thoughts to start my day! You have some beautiful dishes and beautiful blocks.
I love this! its very inspiring. especially the blocks!
Whole Lot of Crazy Goin' On!
