DOC says human interference was not to blame for the deaths of more than 40 New Zealand fur seals/kekeno at a remote bay in Banks Peninsula at the weekend.
A ranger counted 41 dead seals at Te Oka Bay and sent six of them to Massey University for post mortem examination.
DOC's Mahaanui (Christchurch) Operations Manager Andy Thompson says the bodies were too badly decomposed to confirm the cause of death, but human induced mortality could be ruled out.
The pathologist report says there was no evidence of any likely human involvement in these mortalities, as there were no penetrating wounds or bruising.
"The report says it is possible these pups had died in a colony nearby and been washed up at Te Oka Bay in the large swells that occurred in a series of storms," Andy Thompson says.
"We think the seals had been there since early July. The most likely cause of death was heavy seas pounding the colony at that time when the seals were young and vulnerable and couldn't escape the big waves.
The event happened on the southern side of Banks Peninsula which is exposed to heavy southerly swells.
DOC staff will continue to monitor the area for any unusual events that affect large numbers of seals.
Around 8,500 kekeno live and breed around the Te Oka Bay area. Kekeno are the most common seals in New Zealand and their population of more than 200,000 is growing.

Get to know "Taegeuk-Minton", A new Covid-19 Era Sport Concept
weekly, walkintoKorea
Have you ever heard about the new concept of sport in Korea, "Taegeuk-Minton"? Let's find out!
These days, sports activities have shrunk due to COVID-19, which has continued since last year, indoor sports developed by an organization in Daejeon are gaining popularity among many sports players.
Taegeuk-Minton, developed by Taegeuk World Sports, is a racket sport that uses both hands and is designed to reduce the elasticity of the racket and ball by combining the Taegeuk athletic principles of indoor sports created by combining the Taegeuk athletic principles of the East and badminton of the West.
In addition, the game method can be said to be a life-friendly sport that many people can enjoy together in a small space with a relay method that allows three-to-three teams to play not only singles doubles but also volleyball methods.
Taegeuk Minton has developed a Taegeuk-Minton app and Taegeuk-Minton VR games so that children can access them in a friendly way through the phoenix characters Narmon (symbol of "Taegeuk") and Ormon (symbol of "Gungongamni" to advance into overseas markets as well as domestic markets.
People who pursue healthy lives and aim for scientific and human-friendly sports around the world are enjoying Taegeukgi, and it is currently contributing greatly to the promotion of national prestige as it is entering 11 countries around the world, including the United States, Japan, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore, Taiwan, Mongolia, Australia, the Netherlands, and Spain.
Park Ki-beom, CEO of Taegeuk World Sports, said, "We want to establish ourselves as a racket sport where we can enjoy and become one with people around the world, and actively support Taegeuk Tennis to overcome COVID-19 by leading a healthy life."

Code of Professional Responsibility Q&A
MARIA ELENA MORENO VS. ATTY. ERNESTO ARANETA A.C. No. 1109. April 27, 2005 Facts: Ernesto Araneta issued two checks to Elena Moreno for his indebtedness which amounts to P11, 000.00, the checks were dishonored. It was dishonored because the account against which is drawn is closed. Thereafter the case was forwarded to the IBP Commission on Bar Discipline pursuant to Rule 139-B of the Rules of Court. The Commission recommended the suspension from the practice of law for three (3) months. On 15 October 2002, IBP Director for Bar Discipline Victor C. Fernandez, transmitted the records of this case back to this Court pursuant to Rule 139-B, Sec. 12(b) of the Rules of Court. Thereafter, the Office of the Bar Confidant filed a Report regarding various aspects of the case. The Report further made mention of a Resolution from this Court indefinitely suspending the respondent for having been convicted by final judgment of estafa through falsification of a commercial document. Issue: Whether or not Araneta should be disbarred due to the issuance of checks drawn against a closed account. Held: The Court held that the act of a person in issuing a check knowing at the time of the issuance that he or she does not have sufficient funds in, or credit with, the drawee bank for the payment of the check in full upon its presentment, is a manifestation of moral turpitude. In Co v. Bernardino and Lao v. Medel, we held that for issuing worthless checks, a lawyer may be sanctioned with one years suspension from the practice of law, or a suspension of six months upon partial payment of the obligation. In the instant case, however, herein respondent has, apparently been found guilty by final judgment of estafa thru falsification of a commercial document, a crime involving moral turpitude, for which he has been indefinitely suspended. Considering that he had previously committed a similarly fraudulent act, and that this case likewise involves moral turpitude, we are constrained to impose a more severe penalty. In fact, we have long held that disbarment is the appropriate penalty for conviction by final judgment of a crime involving moral turpitude. As we said in In The Matter of Disbarment Proceedings v. Narciso N. Jaramillo, the review of respondent's conviction no longer rests upon us. The judgment not only has become final but has been executed. No elaborate argument is necessary to hold the respondent unworthy of the privilege bestowed on him as a member of the bar. Suffice it to say that, by his conviction, the respondent has proved himself unfit to protect the administration of justice. Spouses OLBES VS. Atty. VICTOR V. DECIEMBRE AC-5365. April 27, 2005 Facts: Atty. Victor V. Deciembre was given five blank checks by Spouses Olbes for security of a loan. After the loan was paid and a receipt issued, Atty. Deciembre filled up four of the five checks for P50, 000 with different maturity date. All checks were dishonored. Thus, Atty. Deciembre fled a case for estafa against the spouses Olbes. This
prompted the spouses Olbes to file a disbarment case against Atty. Deciembre with the Office of the Bar Confidant of this Court. In the report, Commissioner Dulay recommended that respondent be suspended from the practice of law for two years for violating Rule 1.01 of the Code of Professional Responsibility. Issue: Whether or not the suspension of Atty. Deciembre was in accord with his fault. Held: Membership in the legal profession is a special privilege burdened with conditions. It is bestowed upon individuals who are not only learned in the law, but also known to possess good moral character. A lawyer is an oath-bound servant of society whose conduct is clearly circumscribed by inflexible norms of law and ethics, and whose primary duty is the advancement of the quest for truth and justice, for which he has sworn to be a fearless crusader. By taking the lawyers oath, an attorney becomes a guardian of truth and the rule of law, and an indispensable instrument in the fair and impartial administration of justice. Lawyers should act and comport themselves with honesty and integrity in a manner beyond reproach, in order to promote the publics faith in the legal profession. It is also glaringly clear that the Code of Professional Responsibility was seriously transgressed by his malevolent act of filling up the blank checks by indicating amounts that had not been agreed upon at all and despite respondents full knowledge that the loan supposed to be secured by the checks had already been paid. His was a brazen act of falsification of a commercial document, resorted to for his material gain. Deception and other fraudulent acts are not merely unacceptable practices that are disgraceful and dishonorable; they reveal a basic moral flaw. The standards of the legal profession are not satisfied by conduct that merely enables one to escape the penalties of criminal laws. Considering the depravity of the offense committed by respondent, we find the penalty recommended by the IBP of suspension for two years from the practice of law to be too mild. His propensity for employing deceit and misrepresentation is reprehensible. His misuse of the filled-up checks that led to the detention of one petitioner is loathsome. Thus, he is sentenced suspended indefinitely from the practice of law effective immediately. NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY, INC., and BEN A. NICOLAS vs. Atty. MACARIO D. ARQUILLO A.C. No. 6632. August 2, 2005 Facts: Atty. Macatrio D. Arquillo represented opposing parties in one a case before the before the National Labor Relations Commission, Regional Arbitration Branch in San Fernando, La Union. Herein, complainants accuse Atty. Arquillo of deceit, malpractice, gross misconduct and/or violation of his oath as attorney by representing conflicting interests. The case was filed with the IBP-Commission on Bar Discipline which found Atty. Arquillo guilty of the charge and recommended a penalty of suspension for 6 months. The governors of the IBP increased the penalty for 2 years. Issue: Whether or not the acts of Arquillo merits his suspension from the practice of law. Held: The Code of Professional Responsibility requires lawyers to observe candor,
fairness and loyalty in all their dealings and transactions with their clients. Corollary to this duty, lawyers shall not represent conflicting interests, except with all the concerned clients written consent, given after a full disclosure of the facts. When a lawyer represents two or more opposing parties, there is a conflict of interests, the existence of which is determined by three separate tests: (1) when, in representation of one client, a lawyer is required to fight for an issue or claim, but is also duty-bound to oppose it for another client; (2) when the acceptance of the new retainer will require an attorney to perform an act that may injuriously affect the first client or, when called upon in a new relation, to use against the first one any knowledge acquired through their professional connection; or (3) when the acceptance of a new relation would prevent the full discharge of an attorneys duty to give undivided fidelity and loyalty to the client or would invite suspicion of unfaithfulness or double dealing in the performance of that duty. An attorney cannot represent adverse interests. It is a hornbook doctrine grounded on public policy that a lawyers representation of both sides of an issue is highly improper. The proscription applies when the conflicting interests arise with respect to the same general matter, however slight such conflict may be. It applies even when the attorney acts from honest intentions or in good faith. In accordance with previous rulings from this court Atty. Arquillo is suspended for 1 year from the practice of law. RE: LETTER DATED 21 FEBRUARY 2005 OF ATTY. NOEL S. SORREDA. A.M. No. 05-3-04-SC July 22, 2005 Facts: Atty. Noel S. Sorreda wrote a letter addressed to the Chief Justice over his frustrations of the outcome of his cases decided by the Supreme Court. The letter contained derogatory and malignant remarks which are highly insulting. The Court accorded Atty. Sorreda to explain, however, instead of appearing before the court, he wrote another letter with insulting remarks as the first one. The court was thus offended with his remarks. Issue: Whether or not Atty. Sorreda can be held guilty of contempt due to the remarks he has made in his letters addressed to the court. Held: Unfounded accusations or allegations or words tending to embarrass the court or to bring it into disrepute have no place in a pleading. Their employment serves no useful purpose. On the contrary, they constitute direct contempt of court or contempt in facie curiae and a violation of the lawyers oath and a transgression of the Code of Professional Responsibility. As officer of the court, Atty. Sorreda has the duty to uphold the dignity and authority of the courts and to promote confidence in the fair administration of justice. [24] No less must this be and with greater reasons in the case of the countrys highest court, the Supreme Court, as the last bulwark of justice and democracy Atty. Sorreda must be reminded that his first duty is not to his client but to the administration of justice, to which his clients success is wholly subordinate. His conduct ought to and must always be scrupulously observant of law and ethics. The use of intemperate language and unkind ascription can hardly be justified nor can it have a place in the dignity of judicial forum. Civility among members of the legal profession is a
treasured tradition that must at no time be lost to it. Hence, Atty. Sorreda has transcended the permissible bounds of fair comment and constructive criticism to the detriment of the orderly administration of justice. Free expression, after all, must not be used as a vehicle to satisfy ones irrational obsession to demean, ridicule, degrade and even destroy this Court and its magistrates. Thus, ATTY. NOEL S. SORREDA is found guilty both of contempt of court and violation of the Code of Professional Responsibility amounting to gross misconduct as an officer of the court and member of the Bar. Heirs of Herman Rey, represented by ARACELI Vda. DE ROMERO vs. Atty. Venancio Reyes, Jr. A.C. No. 6192 June 23, 2005 Facts: Atty. Venancio Reyes is counsel for Heirs of Herman Rey for which they are intervenors in a civil case involving multiple sale of a piece of land. There were three buyers however, and to settle the case, they had agreed to a Compromise Agreement. The Compromise Agreement, dated June 16, 1995, was signed in three stages, first by Elizabeth Reyes and her husband, then by complainants and their counsel, Atty. Renato Samonte Jr., and last, by Antonio Gonzales, Veronica Gonzales for and on behalf of V.R. Credit Enterprises, Inc. and by herein respondent. Later, the RTC which houses the records of the case was destroyed by fire, thus The complainants filed a motion for reconstitution of the records of the case, which was granted by the RTC of Bulacan. The documents attached to the motion were the basis for the reconstituted records. Because of the circumstances of signing of the Compromise Agreement, the copy submitted to the RTC bore only the signatures of Elizabeth Reyes, her husband, complainants, and that of their counsel, Atty. Renato Samonte. After a lapse of two (2) years from the date of the Compromise Agreement, V.R. Credit Enterprises, Inc. still has not complied with its obligation toward complainants. Hence, complainants filed a motion for issuance of writ of execution against V.R. Credit Enterprises, Inc. for such failure. Atty. Reyes filed a motion for the case was premature. Later he raised the issue that the Compromise Agreement was not valid since it was not signed by Veronica Gonzales. Hence, the RTC rued that the Compromise as unenforceable. Thus, herein, complainants filed this administrative case against Atty. Venancio Reyes Jr. charging him with willful and intentional falsehood, in violation of his oath as a member of the Philippine bar. IBP investigating commissioner found him guilty of violation of his oath. Issue: Whether or not Atty. Venancio Reyes is administratively liable. Held: Lawyers are indispensable instruments of justice and peace. Upon taking their professional oath, they become guardians of truth and the rule of law. Verily, when they appear before a tribunal, they act not merely as the parties representatives but, first and foremost, as officers of the court. Thus, their duty to protect their clients interests is secondary to their obligation to assist in the speedy and efficient administration of justice. In assailing the legality of the Compromise Agreement, he claims good faith. He maintains that he should not be faulted for raising an allegedly valid defense to protect his clients interests. The records show, however, that his actions bear hallmarks of dishonesty and doublespeak. Atty. Reyes is one of negotiating panel in the compromise
agreement. He impressed upon the parties and the trial judge that his clients were bound to the Compromise Agreement. Then, suddenly and conveniently, he repudiated it by falsely alleging that one of his clients had never signed it. True, lawyers are obliged to present every available remedy or defense to support the cause of their clients. However, their fidelity to their causes must always be made within the parameters of law and ethics, never at the expense of truth and justice. In Choa v. Chiongson this principle was explained thus: While a lawyer owes absolute fidelity to the cause of his client, full devotion to his genuine interest, and warm zeal in the maintenance and defense of his rights, as well as the exertion of his utmost learning and ability, he must do so only within the bounds of the law Thus, herein, Atty. Venancio Reyes, was ordered suspended for 1 year. JESUS M. FERRER vs. ATTY. JOSE ALLAN M. TEBELIN A.C. No. 6590. June 27, 2005 Facts: Ferrer obtained the services of Atty. Tebelin in a case against Global Link as a result of a vehicular accident through the falut of Global Links driver. Ferrer paid Atty. Tebelin P5, 000.00 as acceptance fee and gave him all pertinent documents. However, Ferrer filed an administrative case against Atty. Tebelin alleging that the said lawyer abandoned his case. However, Atty. Tebelin expressed his willingness to return the money and denied having abandoned the case. However, during the proceedings, herein Ferrer died. Atty. Tebelin was nowhere to be found in his given address. Issue: Whether or not Atty. Tebellin may still be held liable despite the death of the complainant. Held: The court held that Atty. Tebelin may still be held liable despite the death of the complainant. The death of a complainant in an administrative case notwithstanding, the case may still proceed and be resolved. As in the case of Tudtud v. Colifores, the court ruled that The death of the complainant herein does not warrant the non-pursuance of the charges against respondent Judge. In administrative cases against public officers and employees, the complainants are, in a real sense, only witnesses. Hence, the unilateral decision of a complainant to withdraw from an administrative complaint, or even his death, as in the case at bar, does not prevent the Court from imposing sanctions upon the parties subject to its administrative supervision. This Court also finds respondent, for ignoring the notices of hearing sent to him at his address which he himself furnished, or to notify the IBP-CBD his new address if indeed he had moved out of his given address. His actuation betrays his lack of courtesy, his irresponsibility as a lawyer. This Court faults respondent too for welting on his manifestation-undertaking to return the P5,000.00, not to mention the documents bearing on the case, to complainant or his heirs. Such is reflective of his reckless disregard of the duty imposed on him by Rule 22.02 of the Code of Professional Responsibility: Rule 22.02 A lawyer who withdraws or is discharged shall, subject to a retaining lien, immediately turn over all papers and property to which the client is entitled, and shall cooperate with his successor in the orderly transfer of the matter, including all information necessary for the proper handling of the matter.
Thus, the court suspended Atty. Jose Allan M. Tebelin from the practice of law for Two (2) Months and is ordered to return to complainants heirs the amount of P5, 000.00, with legal interest. JUDGES; UNDUE DELAY IN RENDERING JUDGMENT , A VIOLATION OF RULE 70 SECTION 11 OF THE RULES OF COURT DORCAS PETALLAR VS. JUDGE JAUNILLO PULLOS A.M. No. MTJ-03-1484. January 15, 2004 Facts: Complainant Dorcas Petallar averred that after the preliminary conference in a case for forcible entry, he, as plaintiff and the defendants were ordered to submit their respective position papers and evidence. Two months from the submission of their position papers, complainant personally went to the Court to verify the judgment had been rendered. He caused his lawyer to file a motion for rendition of judgment which was duly received by the court on August 6, 2001 but still no judgment was rendered on December 27, 2001 when the complaint was filed. Hence, complainant Petallar charged Judge Juanillo Pullos, former presiding judge of the MCTC of Surigao del Norte of violating Canon 1, Rule 1.02 & Canon 3, Rule 3.05 of the Code of Judicial Conduct as well as Rule 140, Section 4 & Rule 70, Section 10 & 11 of the Rules of the Court for undue delay in rendering a decision in a case for forcibly entry. Issue: Whether or not respondent be held liable for undue delay in rendering judgment. Held: Respondent is guilty of undue delay in rendering judgment. The records show that the parties had filed their respective position papers as early as February 2, 2000. thus, respondent had until March 4, 2000. Had there been circumstances which presented him from handling down his decision within the prescribed period, respondent should have at least requested from the Court for an extension within which to render judgment. Failure to resolve cases submitted for decisions within the period fixed by law constitutes serious violation of Article III, section 16 of the Constitution. Judges must perform their official duties with utmost diligence if public confidence in the judiciary is to be preserved. A judge cannot by himself prolong the period for deciding cases beyond that authorized by law. Without any order of extension granted by the court, failure to decide a case within the prescribed period constitutes gross inefficiency that merits administrative sanction. COMPLAINTS FOR DISBARMENT; FORMAL INVESTIGATION MERCEDES NAVA VS. ATTY. BENJAMIN SORONGON AC No. 5442. January 26, 2004 Facts: Respondent Atty. Sorongon had been the counsel of complainant Mercedes Nava for years. The former informed her of his intention to withdraw as her counsel in two of her cases due to a stroke that paralyzed his right body but proposed to be retained in two other criminal cases with lesser paper works. He filed his withdrawal on December 4, 1996 and was granted by the court. Complainant alleged that while she continuously paid for the respondents services, the latter represented other clients with hostile interests and cases filed against her. Complainant cried that respondent assisted one Francisco Atas in
filing a formal complaint for 11 counts of violation of B.P. 22 against her. She sent a letter to respondents expressing her disbelief and reminding him of his ethical and moral responsibility as a lawyer. Complainant prayed that an investigation be conducted regarding this unfortunate actuation and deplorable behavior as well as respondents double standard attitude. Thereafter, the IBP Commission on Bar Discipline issued a resolution suspending respondent from the practice of law for one year considering his clear violation of the prohibition against representing conflicting interest. Issue: Whether or not a formal investigation is mandatory in complaints for disbarment. Held: In complaints for disbarment, a formal investigation is a mandatory requirement. The court may dispense with the normal referral to the Integrated Bar of the Philippines if the records are complete and the question raised is simple. Similarly, if no further, factual determination is necessary, the court may decide the case on the basis of the extensive pleading on record. Complaints against lawyers for misconduct are normally addressed to the Court. If, at the outset, the Court finds a complaint to be clearly wanting in merit, it out rightly dismisses the case. If, however, the Court deems it necessary that further inquiry should be made, such as when the matter could not be resolved by merely evaluating the pleadings submitted, a referral is made to the IBP for a formal investigation of the case during which the parties are accorded an opportunity to be heard. An ex parte investigation may only be conducted when respondent fails to appear despite reasonable notice. ABANDONMENT OF LAWFUL WIFE AND MAINTAINING ILLICIT RELATIONSHIP AS GROUND FOR DISBARMENT JOVITA BUSTAMANTE-ALEJANDRO VS. ATTY. WARFREDO TOMAS ALEJANDRO and MARICRIS VILLARIN AC No. 4256. February 13, 2004 Facts: Complainant submitted a photocopy of the marriage contract between her and respondent Atty. Alejandro in support of her charge of bigamy and concubinage against the latter and Villarin. She also submitted a photocopy of the birth certificate of a child of the respondent and also stated that they were married in May 1, 1990 in Isabela, Province. The Supreme Court directed respondents to file their comment on the complaint within 10 days but they failed to comply. Copies of the resolution, complaint and its annexes were returned to both respondents unserved with notation moved, same as when served personally. Complainant was required anew to submit the correct, present address of respondents under pain of dismissal of her administrative complaint. She disclosed respondents address at 12403 Develop Drive Houston, Texas in a handwritten letter. The Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) recommended that both respondents be disbarred. The Supreme Court ordered Atty. Alejandro to be disbarred while the complaint against his co-respondent Atty. Villarin was returned to the IBP for further proceedings or it appears that a copy of the resolution requiring comment was never deemed served upon her as it was upon Atty. Alejandro.
Issue: Whether or not abandonment of lawful wife and maintaining an illicit relationship with another woman are grounds for disbarment. Held: Sufficient evidence showed that respondent Atty. Alejandro, lawfully married to complainant, carried on an illicit relationship with co-respondent Atty. Villarin. Although the evidence was not sufficient to prove that he co0ntracted a subsequent bigamous marriage, that fact remains of his deplorable lack of that degree of morality required of him as member of the bar. A disbarment proceeding is warranted against a lawyer who abandons his lawful wife and maintains an illicit relationship with another woman who had borne him a child. We can do no less in this case where Atty. Alejandro even fled to another country to escape the consequences of his misconduct. Therefore, Atty. Alejandro disbarred from the practice of law while the complaint against Atty. Villarin was referred back to the IBP. VIOLATION OF THE CODE OF PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY; FAILURE OF COUNSEL TO FILE BRIEF BIOMIE SARENAS-OCHAGABIA VS. ATTY. BALMES OCAMPOS AM No. 4401. January 29, 2004 Facts: Complainant Biomie Sarenas-Ochagabia and her aunts engaged the services of respondent Atty. Balmes Ocampos in a civil case for recovery of possession and ownership of a parcel of land. An adverse decision was rendered against complainants. Atty. Ocampos filed a Notice of Appeal at their behest. The Court of Appeals gave them 45 days from notice to file their brief but Atty. Ocampos was granted a 90-day extension. The extended period lapsed without an appellants brief being filed, hence their appeal was dismissed. The dismissal was not challenged, but complainants filed a complaint contending that respondent violated his duty to inform them of his failure to file appellants brief and of the dismissal of the appeal. Issue: Whether or not respondent has exercised due diligence for the protection of the clients interests. Held: A lawyer engaged to represent a client in a case bears the responsibility of protecting the latters interest with utmost diligence. By failing to file appellants brief, respondent was remiss in the discharge of such responsibility. He thus violated the Code of Professional which states: Rule 12.03 A lawyer shall not, after attaining extensions of time to file pleadings, memoranda or briefs, let the period lapse without submitting the same or offering an explanation for his failure to do so. Rule 18.03 A lawyer shall not neglect a legal matter entrusted to him, and his negligence in connection therewith shall render him liable. That respondent accepted to represent complainants gratis et amore does not justify his failure to exercise due diligence in the performance of his duty. Every case deserves full attention, diligence, and competence regardless of its importance and whether he accepts it for a fee or free.
Until his final release from the professional relation with a client, a counsel of record is under obligation to protect the clients interest. If a party has a counsel of record, a court does not recognize any other representation in behalf thereof unless in collaboration with such counsel of record or until a formal substitution of counsel is effected. Since respondent had not then withdrawn as counsel as he in fact filed a motion for extension of time to file brief, he was under obligation to discharge his professional responsibility.

Q: How to declare variable using loop in Python? I just wanted to know how I can shorten my code using loop in python, can someone help me? Thanks! I'm using Python-flask.

app.route('/data', methods=["GET", "POST"])

def data():

con = sqlite3.connect('tmonitor.db')
    con.row_factory = sqlite3.Row

    cur = con.cursor()
    cur.execute("SELECT * FROM monitors ORDER BY id DESC limit 1")

    rows = cur.fetchall()

    value = [row[1] for row in rows]

//to split the array
    value1 = '-'.join(str(e) for e in value)
    value2 = value1.split('-')

//Insert inside the loop to shorten the code

    Cell1_raw = value2[0]
    Cell2_raw = value2[1]
    Cell3_raw = value2[2]
    Cell4_raw = value2[3]
    Cell5_raw = value2[4]
    Cell6_raw = value2[5]
    Cell7_raw = value2[6]
    Cell8_raw = value2[7]
    Cell9_raw = value2[8]
    Cell10_raw = value2[9]

// To convert in integer (Also need to shorten the code)
    Temperature1 = int(Cell1_raw)
    Temperature2 = int(Cell2_raw)
    Temperature3 = int(Cell3_raw)
    Temperature4 = int(Cell4_raw)
    Temperature5 = int(Cell5_raw)
    Temperature6 = int(Cell6_raw)
    Temperature7 = int(Cell7_raw)
    Temperature8 = int(Cell8_raw)
    Temperature9 = int(Cell9_raw)
    Temperature10 = int(Cell10_raw)

// to shorten also
    data = [time() * 1000, Temperature1, Temperature2, Temperature3, Temperature4, Temperature5, Temperature6, Temperature7, Temperature8, Temperature9, Temperature10]

    response = make_response(json.dumps(data))

    response.content_type = 'application/json'

    return response

I added some comments for you to see what needs to be shorten, I'm still studying python, thank you so much!

A: Use list slices (and don't create a bunch of similarly named variables in the first place).
raw_cells = value2[:10]
temperatures = [int(x) for x in raw_cells]
data = [time() * 1000, *temperatures]

This can be further shortened by getting rid of the temporary lists.
data = [time() * 1000, *(int(x) for x in value2[:10])]

If value2 doesn't have more than 10 elements, you don't even need the slice.

It is always a pleasure to be here at the centre of the mobile world. I never fail to be impressed by the energy and ideas.
But the best ideas and action come from real debate - so I want to start one today. I want to be honest with you about the challenges I see in front of the sector and I want to hear your response, whether it is here in person, on Twitter or in later dialogue.
You know that in the Digital Agenda we have set ambitious targets for fast and super-fast broadband coverage and take-up in Europe. The roll-out of new and significantly improved broadband networks is key to achieve these important goals. But I am afraid and worried that the current rate of investment is not sufficient to deliver the first class Internet and Internet-based services that European citizens and business need and deserve. And we should not forget that these networks are the source of much of your future income.
I am afraid that there is not enough investment to drive the real competition that will keep the sector healthy. And Europe is increasingly lagging behind some of our international counterparts.
I am not here to start a blame game, there is a strong role for many actors in addressing these investment problems. But the solution starts with you, and if it isn't found soon this lack of investment will choke you too in the coming years and hurt Europe in general. Some people say that we will be crushed by the Far East on production and beaten by the Far West on content. I am not willing to write Europe off in either of those fields but we have to take measures to respond to these major challenges. And I am sure of one thing – the domain we can influence most directly is our networks, and if we do not get that right, the future for all digital business in Europe will be bleak!
So I urge you not to take the easy route of looking inwards and thinking only about tomorrow. Don't bury your head in the sand like some in the creative industries have done. Remember your long-term opportunities and responsibilities. Remember the power of your services to enable customers and make a better world, whether it be in day-to-day life or as a platform of democracy.
Having made this sincere and passionate call for action, let me now turn more specifically to two subjects which are at the heart of our mobile industry: spectrum policy and intra-EU roaming charges.
I think that spectrum management is an area where we have some strong shared views.
Our underlying goal is to help the sector move to the new world of high-value data services. My personal interest is two-fold: to grow mobile broadband to meet the Digital Agenda goal of 'broadband for all', and to help keep Europe's mobile industry in a global leadership position.
With the Commission's proposal for a Radio Spectrum Policy Programme now on the table, the mobile sector must play its role in conveying the importance of this policy to Member States and to the European Parliament. As you know, we are right in the middle of legislative negotiations with the EP and Council. The next weeks will be crucial for ensuring an effective final design for the Radio Spectrum Policy Programme for spectrum users, including your industry.
1) By 1 January 2012, the use of all spectrum already harmonised at EU level, which means almost 1 GHz, should be effectively authorised to meet market demand.
2) By 2013, the 800 MHz band resulting from the digital dividend should be made available to cope with the mounting scarcity of spectrum (with limited exceptions).
3) By 2020, wireless applications should help to guarantee access for all to broadband at a minimum speed of 30 Mbps.
4) Authorisation conditions conducive to the roll-out of broadband in a competitive environment should be applied in a coherent manner across Europe.
I will be looking for your support in explaining the benefits of these actions and also in explaining to the European Parliament and Council the benefits of our proposal for a spectrum inventory.
help to match future needs to the right frequencies.
It's the essential groundwork for a long-term spectrum policy, and I include global negotiations in that. For example, spectrum for broadband might get to the agenda of the 2016 World Radiocommunications Conference.
So, as you can see, I need your help to get things going in the right direction! We will work together for a long time I hope!
Turning now to a more controversial issue, let me say a few words on roaming charges within the EU.
Our Roaming consultation has just closed last Friday and we are obviously still analysing the responses. First, the interest in roaming has not diminished. We have received an excellent response rate, more than 80 from all interested stakeholders. And I think I can share with you "hot off the press" some first indications of the main messages coming from the stakeholders.
Needless to say, there is a wide range of views on every question. But there is a remarkable degree of consensus in some areas. While there are many detailed questions in our consultation, essentially there are two major themes: first, we wanted to know if now, after some years of experience under the Roaming Regulation, the market for roaming services in Europe is becoming truly competitive. Second, if it is not, we wanted to hear the stakeholders' views on what further remedies are needed.
Let's start from the first question. Do people think that the EU roaming market is now competitive? There is a remarkable degree of consensus in our consultation responses on this question, and unfortunately the answer is no. I would love to be able to say to you today that the roaming market is competitive; that data roaming charges approach domestic prices; that bill shocks are a thing of the past; that prices for voice and SMS roaming are not clustered around the maximum levels permitted. Regrettably I cannot.
Most stakeholders believe that competition is not yet sufficiently strong; they advocate further intervention after 2012. This is certainly the view of consumer groups and all of the national regulatory authorities. But I think it is also important to point out that several mobile operators share these concerns when it comes to wholesale charges.
This is disappointing, but not surprising. Our June 2010 interim report revealed these problems already.
Today voice roaming prices within Europe are still more than three times the level of domestic charges. Average charges for roaming offers other than the Euro-tariff are even higher. And for data roaming the position is even grimmer. The consumer often pays less than 5 cents for downloading a MB of data at home, but this may turn into 2.60 Euro per MB when the same consumer crosses an invisible border!
I want to be fair and accept progress where it has been made. Wholesale data roaming charges have fallen significantly. But, consumers aren't seeing that matched in lower retail prices - and that is the true measure of competition.
Of course incentives to compete on roaming prices are not as strong as the pressures on domestic prices. But that is not a justification for the current rip-offs.
So, while you know I would prefer to simply rely on competition to ensure that the market operates, rather than engage in further regulation, the fact is that the industry has not to date given me much hope that this would spontaneously happen.
This then brings us to the second big theme of our consultation. How to proceed from July 2012?
Our public consultation paper proposed a number of options to achieve the Digital Agenda goal of getting the difference between roaming and national prices to approach zero by 2015. These options ranged from pure price capping options to structural approaches aimed at tackling the roaming problem at its core.
Initial indications from our consultation suggest strong support for continuing price regulation.
A significant number of respondents seem to accept that, in such a scenario, some form of retail price regulation would also need to be introduced for data roaming. Proposals for price regulation vary from the current model of price capping to other approaches involving direct links between roaming tariffs and actual domestic prices.
Respondents expressed on the contrary some scepticism on the possibility to introduce more fundamental changes, probably also due to the general reluctance to move into uncharted territory.
One idea we put forward in our consultation was to tackle the underlying structural problem directly. For example, competition may be stimulated by allowing customers to easily purchase roaming services independently of other mobile services. That is, the domestic bundle would no longer include roaming services by default.
Another idea was to further increase the level of retail competition by mandating wholesale roaming access at cost-oriented prices also to virtual network operators (MVNOs). This could allow the emergence of new pan-European roaming operators whose business model is based on accepting smaller margins than traditional players.
Finally as you will know we were also interested in hearing stakeholder views on the possibility of establishing a trading market for roaming services at wholesale level.
Many respondents agreed with the goal of tackling the roaming problem at its core. However, many expressed concerns about the practical implementation, cost and time needed for solutions such as unbundling.
Most respondents also doubted the effectiveness of wholesale options such as exchange trading. They thought that, as with wholesale data price caps, the impact on retail roaming prices would not be sufficiently strong.
In the end, as I have said before, it may be that no single approach will do the job on its own. And we cannot exclude that different approaches may need to be implemented for the first years following the expiry of the current Regulation while laying the groundwork for more sustainable long term solutions. Because after all, while I doubt that time may in itself solve our problems, it seems difficult to think that we can maintain price regulation forever….
These are the difficult decisions that I and the College of Commissioners face in the coming weeks and months. And I am committed to take fully into account your views and to keep a close dialogue with the industry.
My message to you is many thanks for your involvement in the consultation and the ongoing debate. And my message to consumers and regulators is that I will not take any position that puts consumer welfare or the building of the digital Single Market at risk.

Innovators in Government Offer Cutting-Edge Models for Reform
Reason's Innovators in Action 2008 profiles leaders in government management, transportation, school choice
Innovation is all too rare in government. On one hand, policymakers and bureaucrats have a vast array of sound policy ideas at their disposal. But many of these ideas never see the light of day due to institutional inertia or political considerations. At the same time, government officials often take policy actions without a clear sense of purpose (i.e., what are we aiming to solve?) or realistic expectations of outcomes and unintended consequences. In a time of a record-setting federal deficit, tightening state and local budgets, over $1 trillion in unfunded infrastructure needs, looming fiscal disasters in public pension and entitlement programs, rising congestion in our transportation systems and poor educational performance, we need innovators in government now more than ever.
Reason Foundation's new publication, Innovators in Action 2008, showcases a set of innovative policymakers and practitioners who have successfully bridged the gap between ideas and action. In their own words, they describe the whats, whys and hows of their innovations in such areas ranging from transportation finance, state fiscal reform, school choice, federal management, and urban mobility.
Several lessons emerge from these essays and interviews:
Competition, markets and private sector solutions work. From King County, Washington Executive Ron Sims's embrace of variable rate tolling for traffic congestion reduction, to the architects of the newly revamped Utah Privatization Policy Board that will regularly review state agencies for privatization opportunities, to New Jersey State Senator Raymond Lesniak's urban school scholarships proposal to offer low-income children an alternative to underperforming schools, these innovators have demonstrated that public-private partnerships and market-oriented policy change are proven policy management tools that deliver good results.
Challenge the status quo. Government-as-usual will not deliver the solutions our nation, states and cities need to compete in the 21st century's global economy. These innovators understand that tinkering around the edges is not enough; we need to be willing to dramatically overhaul existing systems and think outside the box. For example, rising traffic congestion and government's inability to deliver enough transportation capacity to meet surging demand prompted U.S Transportation Secretary Mary Peters, Texas Governor Rick Perry and Executive Sims to literally advance a transformation of transportation policy at the federal, state and local levels, respectively.
Goals matter. Public service delivery suffers when agencies and officials operate without clear goals, an unfortunate tendency in many institutional structures. In any type of reform effort, it's critical to identify the desired change upfront and then craft clear goals and strategies to achieve it. When Gov. Perry and the late Texas Transportation Commission Chairman Ric Williamson began the process of revolutionizing the state's transportation system, they began by clearly identifying short-, mid- and long-range goals and then developed a suite of policy tools to achieve these very specific goals.
Aim high. Difficult challenges require bold solutions. When starting the first BASIS charter school in Tucson a decade ago, founders Olga and Michael Block set out to create one of the best schools in the country and developed an innovative model for doing so. By May 2008, Newsweek ranked BASIS Tucson the #1 public high school in the nation. Similarly Utah State Senator Howard Stephenson and State Representative Craig Frank set out with the goal of "right-sizing" government, leading them to develop a set of new policies to streamline state government and mandate regular reviews of state and local government services and activities to ensure agencies aren't unfairly competing with private sector businesses.
Performance is key. Measuring progress toward achieving goals is impossible without outcome assessment, or as Denver Regional Transportation District CEO Cal Marsella puts it in his interview, "if you can't measure it, you can't manage it." Using outcome-based performance assessment to drive his award-winning internal agency reforms, former Comptroller General David Walker took the U.S Government Accountability Office from an "at risk" agency to one that is currently viewed as one of most effective agencies in the federal government. Similarly, Secretary Peters has worked toward a transformation of the federal transportation program in which funding is allocated not on the basis of political desires, but a set of objective performance standards.
Reform isn't partisan. The innovators featured in this report represent a broad range of points along the political spectrum and their political diversity demonstrates that privatization and market-based reform are not partisan issues. Rather, these policy tools are embraced by Democrats and Republicans alike to drive internal change and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of public service delivery.
Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs said, "Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower." Not content to merely follow in the footsteps of those before them, each of these innovators offers an example of bold leadership, a willingness to embrace change and results-oriented action. And each of these innovators has been a change agent with a direct role in improving the delivery of public services.
The reformers featured in Reason's Innovators in Action 2008 are not interested in working within the constraints of what is, but instead are focused on the possibilities they can create by breaking from the confines of the status quo and turning toward new policy tools and paradigms. Hopefully, the examples and experiences offered by these innovators will inspire and guide reform-minded officials at all levels of government.

The Sun and the Moon a Riddle in the Sky
Blue Marble the Uniform Earth Image
Uri Lachish, Rehovoth
"Blue Marble", the full earth image, is uniform as well as all the other full planet images and their moons. The uniformity is due to a single event scattering of sunlight. Single event scattered light is coherent and leads to enhanced backscattering of light, the opposition effect. Coherent backscattered light is separable from non-coherent light by interferometry. It increases the observation distance of celestial bodies, asteroids, and the penetration of image observation within scattering media.
The term "blue marble" was coined by NASA to the full earth image taken by the Apollo 17 team in 1972 1. The first similar full earth image was taken earlier in the DODGE (Department of Defense Gravity Experiment) in 1967 2. Images are now available routinely since 2015 from the Deep Space Climate Observatory located about 1.6*106 km from the earth 3.
Figure-1: The Blue Marble, full earth image taken by the Apollo-17 team 1.
According to Lambert's cosine law 4, the intensity of such images should be maximal at the image center, and fade to zero at the periphery by the cosine function. However, all these images have a common feature, starting from the first DODGE image to the present day images: The average image density is uniform from the face center of the image towards its periphery. More than that: The earth image includes large areas of gas phase – clouds, liquid phase – oceans, and solid phase – land, and the uniformity is nearly true for each phase separately. This feature is not discussed in the literature, not even mentioned in it.
The uniformity is not unique to the earth, but it is also observed in all the other planets and planet moons when they are back illuminated by the sun, that is, the image is 180 degrees backward scattered from the object toward the observer 5.
Light reflection from a material is considered in the literature either specular, mirror like, or diffusive. Specular reflection obeys the mirror law, while diffusive light scattering spreads in all direction. Random diffusive scattering is considered a multiple scattering event 6 and it must obey Lambert's scattering law 4: The scattering intensity is maximal in a perpendicular direction to the surface of the scattering body. It falls off according to the cosine function when the scattering angle deviates from perpendicular.
In the case of a sphere, backward scattering, scattering 180 degrees back, is maximal at the center of the sphere. It falls to zero according to the cosine function when advancing from the sphere surface center toward to its periphery. Bodies that their images comply with Lambert's cosine law are considered Lambertian scatterers 7, 8.
The uniform back scattered images, of all the planets and their moons 5, show that they are not Lambertian. There are thousands upon thousands of such images but not a single true photo that complies with the cosine law. The only images that do comply with the law are rendered, images that are at least partly simulated.
The earth's moon, our own moon, is the only body where the full image was studied in detail and theories have been suggested for the image uniformity. There are reviews of the subject including detailed reference lists 9-10. The hither to theories of light scattering from the moon face involve specific properties of the surface material, rocks and dust. They are not applicable to the earth image where the uniformity is observed separately in the air, sea, and land. It is more likely that a single theory should be applicable to the moon, earth, and all other cases.
Going a little into the scattering mechanism may shed light on the observed earth images.
Light that travels within a material polarizes its matter. The electromagnetic radiation stimulates electric dipole oscillations within it, and each dipole becomes a source of electromagnetic radiation. Each dipole oscillates with a phase that is determined by its position in space, and its radiation field adds by vector addition to the stimulating radiation and the fields of the other dipoles. For uniform material the phases of the stimulated dipoles cancel each other in all the directions and sum up to zero except in the forward direction. Therefore, there is no scattered light in any direction except the forward direction, where the observed effect is refraction.
For a material with non-uniform density, each phase is summed with a different weight and the sum is not zero, so that scattered light may advance in any direction. Light is scattered from scattering centers and the scattered light intensity is equal to the sum of the light intensities of the centers.
A scattering center is a uniform sub-volume of a non-uniform volume. The scattering properties depend on the size of the center volume. For volume size smaller than the stimulating wavelength there will be scattering in all directions, Rayleigh scattering, and for volume size bigger than the wavelength, the scattering will be of small angle, Mie scattering.
Figure-2 shows an observing camera on a satellite looking at a full earth, while the sun is behind its back.
Sunlight brightness a * Cos(θ) on the earth illuminates the area a / Cos(θ) through a. The sun light polarizes the earth surface perpendicular to the light direction. The earth dipoles scatter maximum light back to the sun, and back to an observing camera on a satellite.
Each dipole oscillates in the electric field direction of the coming sunlight, that is, in a plane perpendicular to the light direction, and the maximal emission of a dipole is perpendicular to its direction of oscillation, that is, back to the sun and back to the observing camera.
Therefore, in single event scattering the mean equivalent light scattered 180 degrees back from the earth will also be directed back to the sun and to the camera. It will not be perpendicular to the earth surface.
Considering the fading sunlight on the earth surface, the back scattered light from the earth will be proportional then to: (a / Cos(θ)) * Cos(θ), The observing camera will see a uniform full earth.
In summary, the mean back scattering from the full earth is directed back to the sun because the scattering dipoles on the earth oscillate in a plane perpendicular to the coming sunlight. Any calculation that does not take the direction of the polarizing dipoles into account will not be correct.
The uniform full images of the planets and their moons tell us that the dominant scattering mechanism is single event scattering. Multiple scattering may add some correction.
All the scattering dipoles, in single event scattering, are stimulated by a common radiation source. Therefore, the back scattering from them must be coherent and there will be enhancement of the 180 degrees backscattered light 11. The enhancement is indeed attributed to coherent scattering in the literature 12-14, but since a single event scattering is not considered there, it is not clear why the scattered light will be coherent.
Coherent scattered light may be separated from non-coherent scattered light by interferometric methods, therefore the range of observing celestial bodies, asteroids and others, may be increased by applying interferometry.
The uniform images of the planets and their moons 5 also tell us that most of the scenery that surrounds us is that of singly scattered light. Applying backward scattering and interferometry enhances the depth of image observation within scattering media 15.
Multiple event scattering must lead to Lambert's cosine scattering law. However such images are rare, if observed at all. In the calculation of the law there is a hidden assumption that the scattering dipoles oscillate independently in all random directions in space. The images of the full earth, the planets and their moons tell us that this is not the case, the scattering mechanism must be mainly single events
In multiple scattering the dipoles lose their common plane of oscillation, therefore there is no way that the scattered light will be coherent. In addition, as a multiple event involves more and more scattering steps, the probability for it will diminish, and the first single scattering will be dominant.

Nourrir les p'tits oiseaux (Feed the Birds dans la version originale) est une chanson écrite par les frères Sherman (Richard M. Sherman & Robert B. Sherman) pour le film Mary Poppins. Elle est également connue pour être une des chansons favorites de Walt Disney.

Création de la chanson
Feed the Birds fut la première chanson achevée par les frères Sherman. Quand ils présentèrent pour la première fois la chanson à l'auteur de Mary Poppins, Pamela L. Travers, elle trouva le titre « joli » mais inapproprié pour une voix masculine. Robert Sherman appela alors une secrétaire pour faire écouter la chanson à nouveau. En écoutant la chanson interprétée par une femme, Mrs Travers pensa que la chanson Greensleeves était la seule réellement appropriée pour le film. Son désir premier était que toute la musique du film soit proche des chansons de l'époque édouardienne. Par la suite et à contre-cœur,  Travers accorda aux compositeurs d'utiliser d'autres chansons.

La version française est interprétée par Éliane Thibault.

Dans le film

En contraste avec les habituelles chansons énergiques des films Disney, Nourrir les p'tits oiseaux a des traits religieux et est joué dans un tempo respectueux, semblable à celui d'un hymne. Le thème de la chanson est utilisé à plusieurs reprises pour souligner les moments véritablement importants dans un film qui est la plupart du temps plein d'humour et gai.

Son thème est employé pour les toutes premières notes au début du film comme ouverture. Sa seconde apparition, la plus importante intervient quand Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews) chante une berceuse pour endormir les enfants Banks. Dans cette scène, Mary tient une boule à neige représentant la Cathédrale Saint-Paul de Londres qu'elle retourne faisant apparaitre des oiseaux tournoyant autour du bâtiment. L'image change et devient celle d'un rêve. On y découvre le personnage principal de cette chanson, la vieille femme aux oiseaux, interprétée dans le film par l'actrice Jane Darwell. Assise sur les marches, elle vend aux passants des sacs de graines pour 2 pence.

La troisième utilisation de la chanson dans le film intervient le soir suivant, lorsque Monsieur Banks marche seul dans les rues de Londres vers la banque où il travaille et de laquelle il va se faire renvoyer. Lors de cette séquence, il s'arrête un moment devant les marches où était la femme aux oiseaux.

Dans la culture populaire
Le personnage principal de la chanson est utilisée comme référence dans le film Il était une fois par la présence d'une vieille femme nommée Clara et qui vend de la nourriture pour oiseaux « deux dollars le sac ». Ce personnage a également été repris dans Maman, j'ai encore raté l'avion où il est joué par Brenda Fricker.

Un des épisodes des Simpson intitulé Shary Bobbins reprend de nombreux éléments du film Mary Poppins, dont cette chanson qui est parodiée sous le nom A Boozehound Named Barney.

En 2005, Julie Andrews sélectionna la chanson pour l'inclure dans son album Julie Andrews Selects Her Favorite Disney Songs.

Yes, We are at War
The premise of my 2013 book "The Great Game" was a 2020 financial attack by China and Russia that almost succeeds in splitting up the US along red/blue lines. I was wrong: the attack that came was biological, not financial. Whether the virus was developed in the Wuhan lab or jumped from animals, subsequent actions by the Chinese Communist Party showed at best callous disregard for the rest of the world. The blueprint for a classic asymmetrical warfare has been established: tens of trillions in damage inflicted at a cost of a few million dollars development. And before you protest on humanitarian grounds: this is the regime that killed more people than Stalin or Hitler. They relaxed some of the economic rules because they didn't want to end up like the Soviet Union, but their nature has not changed. Uyghurs and Tibetans will testify to that.
I hope that president-elect Biden takes steps to counteract impact of future attacks, starting with bringing the critical manufacturing back to the US. And we should calm down on this blue vs. red rhetoric. Because we are indeed at war and the enemy doesn't care who you voted for.

There are two teams divided into 5 players each, the first five players are supposed to oppose the other five players who defend the Ancients as well defending their own.The game can be controlled by real time strategy controls. The maps provided are isometric and three dimensional in perspective. The ten players can use any of the 112 playable characters. These characters are known as heroes which have two primary roles of carry and support. The Heroes which carry have their own weaknesses and strengths but as they play along, they gain more strengths and their venerability comes down and hence can lead their team to victory.
The support heroes provide assistance to the heroes and they don't have many of the strengths of the carry heroes have. The players have to three attributes such as strength, intelligence and agility. To activate ability the player has to lose some of his mana points and health points too are required for speed and attack. The use of an ability by a player may cause a cool down phase, wherein the player may not be allowed to use it until the timer counts down to zero. The health points if lost can be regained after a re spawn phase
as the player dies if he loses his health points.

But it's a message that can't be emphasized enough in today's "results-now" world. The choices we make today about where we spend focus, time and energy directly impact our ability to pounce on opportunities tomorrow.
It all comes down to building the right platforms. The main definition of a platform is a raised surface that provides an elevated view for you and/or your audience. Building a platform gives you an increased ability to see opportunities and take advantage of them. In other words, platforms give you pounce-ability.
When you establish practices in your life in the areas of Focus, Relationships, Energy, Stimuli and Hours, you are building a platform that is designed to produce results tomorrow. You may experience some immediate lift from your efforts, but the main aim is to set yourself up for sustainability and long-term effectiveness. You're increasing your ability to take advantage of opportunities by ensuring you'll have the needed focus, time ideas and energy to do so. How can you improve the platform that supports your creative work?
When you build a platform that allows others to express their ideas and insights, you are investing in your future ability to connect with a meaningful tribe. By helping others accomplish their goals, you may find that it helps you accomplish yours as well. How can you build a platform for others to express themselves?
When you give away aspects of your work that others are better equipped to do effectively, you are building a platform that increases the overall effectiveness of the organization. (That's a big reason why we are diversifying the number of voices in the mix on the AC site and why I've invited the brilliant Matt Gartland to be our new Editorial Director. We're also bringing more people into the mix very soon.) Sometimes platforms crumble when you try to build them by yourself. Are there others who can help you build your platform?
Platforms not only give you an elevated view of opportunity, they also become an attractor for other likeminded change-makers. As we give lift to others' thoughts and insights, we may find that it increases the size of the platform beyond what we could do alone.
1. How can you build (or better reinforce) the platforms in your work so that you'll be more effective?
2. Can you think of some examples of especially effective platforms you've seen or been a part of?
