Edmonson County Fiscal Court Meeting August 23, 2021

Edmonson News
Monday, August 23, the Edmonson County Fiscal Court held a public hearing to gather the community's thoughts on setting the 2021 tax rates. Property tax rates for Edmonson County in 2020 were set at 13.9%. This year, the compensating rate set by the state is 13.4%. The Fiscal Court decided to set the rates at 13.8%, a decrease from last year, but an increase on the compensating rate. There were no comments by the public and the hearing was adjourned.
Immediately after the hearing, the Fiscal Court began their regularly scheduled meeting. After getting reports from department heads, the court went into old business.
The court approved Resolution EC21-21, the updated and edited version of the affiliation agreement between the county and the Rescue Squad. County Attorney Greg Vincent spent several days combing through each agreement (Edmonson County Rescue Squad and the Tri County Mounted Search and Rescue Team) to ensure that everything would be in order.
The court went on to approve EC21-22, the updated version of the affiliation agreement between the county and Tri County Mounted SAR Team. Everyone was happy with the agreements and impressed with the quick response and attention to detail that the County Attorney presented.
Property tax rates for 2021 were set at 13.8 by a unanimous vote.
The Administrative Code was updated and the second reading of Ordinance EC21-15 was approved. Treasurer Tammi Willhite noted that the only changes had to do with compensation and vacation pay.
In other old business, the court approved; the Edmonson County Extension Board 2021 tax rate, the Edmonson County Conservation District 2021 tax rate, the Big Reedy Watershed Conservancy District 2021 tax rate and the Edmonson County Public Library tax rate.
In new business, the court was tasked with making a decision on the adoption and payment for the Tango Tango communication system. The Emergency Management Director, Terry Massey was introduced to the software during the Redneck Rave and the company allowed Edmonson County to use it for a 60 day trial period. The trial is at it's end and the EMD came before the court to get approval to purchase the communications system.
The Tango Tango system allows communications to be broadcast on the Fire Department frequency and turns cell phones into radios as well. So, when radios have no signal, the cell phone can be used. This will enhance and make the Emergency Services more efficient. The cost to the county is $2,000 per year. Each cell phone on the system must pay a $72 fee for a year of service for that device. Massey has spoken to most of the fire departments and they have agreed to help members with the cost associated with the system.
Massey has control of the "dashboard" and can make groups that can confer with each other without disturbing others. It was discussed in court that, in the future, the road department may want to join as their radio communications are not reliable. Others that may benefit greatly by enrolling in the program include; the ambulance service, the Sheriff's Department and dispatch. This is very exciting because it adds an additional layer of safety for our community.
In other new business, the court approved; all bills, Resolution EC21-23 (spay/neuter memorandum of agreement), August cash transfers, Treasurer's July monthly settlement, Coroner's Bond renewal, Anne Vincent Notary Bond, 2022 litter abatement program, the dissolution of the Resolution EC21-06 (executive order of affiliation with Tri County Mounted SAR).
Judge Will Cannon gave an update on the Covid cases in the county and on Monday morning, there were 98 active Covid cases. He said that most of us have been exposed and we should do all that we can to stay healthy. He encouraged everyone to socially distance, practice consistent hand washing, sanitizing and use precautions because this strain is more contagious.
In the reports, AB Webb said that Parks and Rec had happy news. He reported that there are 195 children signed up for soccer. He said that the high school's soccer team has been out practicing and there are two track meets set up for next month.
Sheriff Shane Doyle stated that his department is working on 'less than a skeleton crew'. One of his deputies has covid and is in quarantine and another has been injured and is on light duty. Doyle reported that he had worked 80 hours in the week prior. Even though there aren't enough deputies, he reported that they had written 17 citations (felony, felony arrest warrants, misdemeanors).
"When all of your employees are well and in service, do you have a full crew?" We asked and commented, "Other counties are struggling with not having a full force and then with hiring and having to wait until January to send them to the academy. How are you doing?"
"The way my budget is set up," Doyle explained, "I barely have enough."
Vanessa Ulm, the Tourism Board Director, has been working on rebranding the county so that the county can build it's brand. She has a new logo for the county that she and Darren Doyle worked up and the Tourism Commission Board approved.
Emergency Management Director, Terry Massey informed the court that he has obtained an old school bus to transform into a mobile command center for the Emergency Services. He said that he will spend his free time working to convert the bus and Tim Skees will donate the radio equipment to outfit the command center.
After the meeting, we talked with Rescue Squad Commander, Tim Skees and asked what is first on their list. Skees said that they will be doing a radio test first. Skees purchased new radio equipment for the squad and they are looking forward to putting it to use.

Brand: Finca Villacreces
Pruno arises from the vineyard that surrounds the winery, faithful to the paramo where its grapes are produced and the unique characteristics of the wines of the Ribera del Duero, considered one of the best Spanish wines in history for less than $ 20, according to Robert Parker.
There is no doubt that the Finca Villacreces Winery is part of the history of what we know today as the Ribera del Duero Designation of Origin. Its name is taken from the Franciscan friar Pedro Villacreces, who found in that moor a place dedicated to reflection and penance for Franciscan hermits, and who were also dedicated to the cultivation of the field and of course the vine for winemaking and celebration of the Eucharist. During its centuries of history, the cultivation of the vine is still present and it is in 2004 when what is now known as the Artevino group take over. After remodeling the winery and recovering the vineyard, in 2007 an unstoppable career of quality elaborations begins with great identification of the area.
Aceite Yo, Verde Picual 500 ml
Half a liter of Picual juice, green and bright, from Úbeda, Jaén.The "Yo, verde" oil is intense and has all the freshness of the olives harvested in early harvest in October, when the fruit presents the ideal state of maturity.

It is possible that there is a sardinilla in the world better than La Sardinilla Lafuente. Tiny 42 sardines, almost creamy, many shiny silver loins in each can, with a very clean oil in which we will dip bread and more bread.

Overdue investigations for child abuse and neglect.
Number of investigators with excessive caseloads.
Number of timely safety assessments.
The Monroe County Legislature has the authority under the Monroe County Charter to reform CPS. And no single individual has more power in the Legislature than its President, Anthony Daniele.

Better known as Castillo, he was born in Chalchiuites, Zacatecas, México, in 1949. He lives in Rosarito, Baja California. He has been painting for over 40 years and he is inspired mainly by the stark beauty of the Baja California peninsula. His paintings of the barren desert, mountains, and cliff top views of surf pounding over the coastline, show his keen perception of the spectacular contrasting environment that is Baja.
Castillo has been praised by art critics from México and the United States as one of the most important Mexican landscape artists. He is the artist of the mural "Tierra Prometida" (10' by 40') – a view of the area from Rosarito to Point Loma done in 1992 before urban sprawl took over. You can visit and see it at the Tijuana Cultural Center (CECUT).
Castillo works in oils, acrylics and pastels. Besides landscapes he also enjoys painting abstract art. Over the decades he has had exhibitions in Cabo San Lucas, Palm Springs, La Jolla, and many other California cities. Celebrities like Frank Sinatra, Red Skeleton, Ringo Star, James Camron and Russell Crowe are among his collectors.

What does it mean to be black?
© Monkeybusinessimages | Dreamstime.com - Multi Generation African American Family Standing In Garden Photo
Perhaps, the question "what does it mean to be black?" is a case closed for those who champion Pan Africanism or a "melanated-people-of-the-world" fellowship.
However, people still ask: "How does a person know whether he or she is black?" "When can someone's black identity be revoked?" Or, "are black people free to renounce their blackness?"
The idea of "blackness" is not clear for many black people. In other words, does it refer to genes, phenotype, blood type, melanin, geography, or culture? Or, is there a scale of significance? Does one factor precede the rest?
It seems that black people do agree that black identity has something to do with Africa. Unfortunately, that's not enough.
What is black politics?
© Milic Djurovic | Dreamstime.com
Do you know what black politics is? Is it reverse racism? Is it a conspiracy to take over the world? Or, is it just a hustle for black politicians, sellouts, and Uncle Toms?
The backlash from white and black Americans to the election of Barack Obama, the first black president of the USA, exposed an urgent need for white and black Americans to better understand what black politics is.
On the one hand, too many white people do not understand the agenda of the Black Lives Matter movement (BLM) in the Age of Obama. Many believe the propaganda that frames the BLM as a racist hate group and a terrorist organization. In fact, the Black Panther Party in the 1960s and 1970s was portrayed as criminals wielding guns and plundering their own communities. Yes, this is a gross misconception of black politics. An outright lie. Pure nonsense.
On the other hand, many black people are blind to the black political significance of Barack Obama's election and cannot comprehend his actions as an African-American president of the USA. Not only do many black people charge Obama for doing nothing to help African Americans, they say he's not black enough. Meanwhile, we can't even recognize or appreciate the artistic forms of black politics in Spike Lee's controversial film Chiraq, which calls attention to gun violence in poor black neighborhoods, or Beyonce's Super Bowl performance and "Formation" song and video, which boldly displays the plight and quandaries of our invisible black lives, concerns, and frustrations in America. Mr. Lee and Queen Bey are now being accused of exploiting the black community. Also, some black people have recently thrown notable civil rights gladiator John Lewis under the bus for endorsing Hillary Clinton instead of Bernie Sanders and for saying, "I never saw him [Bernie Sanders]. I never met him." Yes, I'm afraid to say that this might be the fault of black-on-black player-hating, or the effects of the "post traumatic slave syndrome," or, I hope, a misunderstanding of black politics.
Whatever the case, we need to talk about black politics. Right now.
Why black politics matters more than money!
© Andres Rodriguez | Dreamstime.com
A lot of African Americans think that economic independence will solve black people's main problems. Black people don't need to seek more money. In fact, the buying power of African Americans is approximately 1.1 trillion dollars.
We need to do more politics.
I hear over and over, "black people should support black businesses only." This gospel of economic racial uplift has its roots in the freedom-fighting strategies of Booker T. Washington, Marcus Garvey, the Nation of Islam, and others who understandably uphold economic independence as the engine of social progress and the guarantor of political power (even if it's bought) in America. And the romanticized Black Wall Street, in Greenwood, Oklahoma is a reminder of the kingdom that awaits those who commit to black economic independence.
I don't deny the importance and the advantages of incorporating and supporting black-owned businesses in order to put more money in people's pockets, in divested black communities for housing and educational and health resources. Nor do I oppose a black political community.

Monomi Park Forums • View topic - Slime Ideas!
Hi! Call me Lars. I've been talking with some friends, and we've had some ideas for slimes!
Cousins of slimes like the Crystal and Rock Slimes.
They're somewhat fluid, similar to Puddle Slimes, though they can survive a bit longer outside of their ideal habitat than those.
Their ideal habitat would be a Freezer, an area used for keeping food from rotting for much longer than they would be on their own. The Slush Slimes will sometimes munch on foods that become entirely frozen, though, so keep an eye on how long you keep them in there!
Appearance-wise, they're like a mix between a normal slime and a more liquid one, with a coating of frost and chunks of ice on their bodies. They're a pale bluish-white in color, and when their mouths are open you can occasionally see puffs of breath from them.
Their dietary needs are similar to their cousins, the Rock and Crystal Slimes, although they're also special in that their favorite treats are anything that's been frozen for too long.
Canine equivalents to the Tabby and Hunter slimes!
Hound Slimes are brownish in color, and have little wagging tails and floppy ears. They enjoy picking up toys and running wild with them, and will chase after anything you throw near them.
Pack Slimes have bushier tails and pointed ears with rounded tips. They're gray in color with amber eyes, and they're rather solitary unless around other Pack Slimes. They tend to crowd around Pack Largos more often.
Hound Slimes are omnivorous, but will only give a normal amount of plorts when eating meat. Cause dogs will eat anything that smells good even if it's bad for them. Meanwhile, Pack Slimes are almost exclusively carnivorous, as wolves are.
They're both very affectionate when happy! They'll come up to you and bounce gently against you, like being nuzzled. Though, sometimes Hound Slimes are very excited and will bounce very hard against you. Maybe they sometimes also zoom around like a dog with zoomies!
Based on both rabbits and sea hares. They'll likely be found in the same environment as Slush Slimes.
White in color with some darker patches, as well as little ear-like antennae.
They hop around more often than other slimes, and will sometimes flop over when happy or after eating their favorite food, which happens to be the most common vegetable- carrots!
Obviously, their diet is vegetables.
Starry slimes that only appear rarely at night. They'll shoot down from the sky and leave some plorts in their wake when they land, but if you can get close enough while offering some starfruit, they'll give even more plorts!
They're very shy and prone to vanishing in a puff of stars if you come too quickly.
If you watch from a distance, they can be seen bouncing around and playing with Phosphor Slimes, twinkling and singing while doing so.
If one manages to land directly on you, you'll probably get an achievement for it!
An area for all of these could possibly be like a tundra or some kind of snowy area. Slush Slimes can be found wandering in the snow or drifting around on frozen pools, while Hound and Pack Slimes can be found chasing after spooked Hare Slimes. At night, you'll find Phosphor Slimes in the mix, as well as the occasional Comet Slime!
Good ideas, though I don't think that Carrots should be a favorite food, since they're the most common veggie.


House of Peter 1 in St. Petersburg, Russia. History of the address location, the exposure in the museum how to get.
Petrine nab., 6. Tel. +7-812-232-45-76. 10-17 except Tues and last mon. month m "Gorky" House of Peter - the oldest building in town, the first residence of Peter I in St. Petersburg.
The cabin was built 24-26 May 1703 of hewn pine logs. According to tradition, Peter himself was involved in its construction.
The lodge has a length of about 18 m, a width of 6 meters and a height of 5.7 It was covered with shingles, pine shingles - on the roof were reinforced wooden mortar and painted with glowing core wicks in a sign that the house belonged to Captain bombardier company.

The house expositions telling about Russia's victory in the Northern War, the founding of St. Petersburg, as well as household items are XVIII century that belonged to Peter, including those made by himself.

Q: Position vertices to maximize the number of $3-$faces Position $n$ nodes on a plane such that the maximum number of $3-$faces is maximized in a way that the edges do not overlap and a node is not inside a chosen face.

A: The points and triangles in the arrangement with the maximal number of triangles must form a maximal planar graph: it is impossible to add more edges (i.e. create new triangles) without crossing edges. The following paragraph was directly taken from Wikipedia.

If a maximal planar graph has $v$ vertices with $v>2$, then it has precisely $3v-6$ edges and $2v-4$ faces.

One of those faces serves as the outer boundary of the arrangement, so we are left with at most $2n-5$ triangles as desired.

Out Of The Worst Grows The Best
December 31, 2022|Richard Nikoley|2 Comments|Public Access
— You can't get there from here
There's 12 hours and 10 minutes remaining in the sale/anti-sale. That is, it's 10 minutes before midnight as I begin this final post of my year 2022, 2565 in Thai years. I've given half the can of tuna I just opened to the feral cat who stops by now and then to yell at me. I hadn't seen her in a few days and she shows up pretty beat up. Life in the jungle. Well, my last good deed of the year.
I'm beat up myself. Tired as hell, and a rare headache. Popped my last ibuprofen in the 10-pack I've had for at least 6 months. Dose makes the poison.
…Pop pop pop now.
Happy New Year (in my neck of the woods, at least).
The promotion has gone fantastically and I ought to be of higher energy to drive home this last 12 hours that ends NYC time. Thus far, 24 new memberships for total additional revenue of about $2,500. That'll help a lot. Thanks, and welcome to y'all.
The Lifetime Option has changed everything. There's still time to snag that, or either of the other two options at under half price.
In reflecting back over the last couple of years—and having called 2022 my worst—I get an odd sense. It's like everything now is 50/50. Nothing is nuanced to any extent.
And Covid drove yet another wedge. Like half the folks got royally devastated and the other half made off like bandits…even those with regular jobs who got to sit at home, nothing to do, bank a paycheck, and shop online. The farther down the covid path you reflect, the less and less it appears to have had much whatever to do with health.
It was a battleground.
And on that score, I believe the forces of evil were quite ambitious. Too ambitious.
At root, the whole thing was communist in flavor. There's a lot packed in that notion but this isn't the time for analysis and I'm not up to it right now.
The better thing to do is to continue with the regrouping, to see 2023 as the clean break.
2023 becomes Post-Covid.
Make it so.
Think of it as such.
We all have work cut out for us, moving forward. I'll be documenting my end of the bargain right here for the gracious paying Membership (once I get some sleep).
I'm anxious to write about all the stuff I'm finding exciting since my new fully-sober lease on life (a week away from 5 months). In my promotional kickoff post I alluded to a saying that half of life is just showing up and Member Charles emailed in to remind me that it's 90%.
Sounds about right.
I wish I could claim that in the aftermath of dumping the bottle that I sat down and mapped out a plan. Say, a 1st six months plan, and here I am to tell you how well the execution is going.
But nope, I just showed up and worked.
I have stuff to write about in terms of just activities for health and fun. My newest gig is my swimming or snorkeling combined with the barefoot walking. Here's what I do almost daily.
It's a 1.8km swim in two legs, beginning and ending, and 2.7 km walk. The swim really drains me, especially now that I use long flippers to get significant resistance kicking hard and steady.
And since I got an air fryer (again, I had one in US) a month ago I've just gone gangbusters back to cooking for myself, almost all meals. I'm eating well.
That was last night. Sauerkraut and pork ribs. Gave some to Pico, my German neighbor, and he was speechless (in a good way).
The biggest thing, however, is this.
And that's a book.
It's a book about what's become the most important thing to me…kicking and screaming, to be cliche and trite.
I'll give an example. The 29th was Chili's 13th. She must have grown a foot in stature in the last 2 years, now slightly taller than her mother. Sweetest of sweethearts, and she has never said a cross word to me. Not one. I've got her and her younger sister, Wasabi, in a school with good English instruction and now I'm tutoring Chili in english. She wrote an impressive 1-page essay on tropical fish (puffers, parrots, and lions) and there were too few errors to even mention…just assign another essay.
Her mother tells me that a boy came by who apparently has an interest and in a moment of self-reflection, I thought to myself, "so that's what that feels like, that fatherly protective instinct.
It feels good.
…Well that's gonna wrap for this one, for 2022, even though I'm nearly 2 hrs into the new one. I'll back-date it so it serves as the last.
GRAB A MEMBERSHIP OR UPGRADE AT LESS THAN HALF PRICE
Jacqueline Walker on January 1, 2023 at 04:07
Happy New Year Richard!
I like that: 'Post-Covid' – yes definitely, let's make 2023 the year we move on and refuse to engage with any who cannot let it go!

Mount Pleasant, South Carolina cloud map
Light, fluffy and airy clouds - they float above our heads every day and make us lift our heads and admire the bizarre shapes and original figures. Scientists have been researching various types of clouds for a long time. They gave answers to the questions, what kind of phenomenon is this and what kind of clouds there are. And now the cloudiness can be observed on an interactive map.

Cloud Map Capabilities in Mount Pleasant
We have the opportunity to observe the clouds using two great interactive maps. In terms of their functions, real-time cloud maps are approximately the same, with the exception that the first map simply shows the location of the clouds in the background of the map, and the second, in addition, you can see temperature and weather data around the world. Naturally, you will not see how the clouds move, since our planet is huge, and the picture is updated, on average, once every few minutes. However, the maps show the actual location of the clouds overhead based on the latest NASA satellite data.
The clouds in the Mount Pleasant map are useful for everyone. After all, it opens up a huge number of possibilities:
Accurate cloud and precipitation map. Track the trajectory of the movement of clouds and the likelihood of precipitation.

Happy Book Birthday, Just Business!
Well, it's release day for Just Business, my latest romance. This one is very close to my heart.
I adore both characters, but Eli… Eli walked into my brain pretty fully formed and more or less set the stage for the book that was to come. Eli also terrified me in a way…because it wasn't until I was about half way through writing the book that I realized I was, in fact, writing from the point of view of a gay Jewish disabled man with PTSD. Who is a Dom and a sadist.
And I had a bit of a panic, as you might imagine, because I wanted to get him right. And I do hope I did him justice.
So here he is, along with the snarky smartass (and smart) Justin who loves the guyliner and black nailpolish.
I do hope you like the book.
Previous One Week Until Just Business! And some new releases to keep you busy.
Next Happy Book Birthday to ZA Maxfield!


ENRICH of Ionia County has a mission to provide basic furniture needs to families living in Ionia County who have suffered a fire or emergency loss, living in poverty, or for other reasons can not provide the basic furniture needs for the family.
More than 1 in 10 Ionia County families live in poverty. Four out of five of the households ENRICH serves have children.
Mary moved from a women's shelter to an apartment with her two girls. ENRICH helped her start a new home with donated beds, a stove, a kitchen table and a couch. ENRICH is "neighbors helping neighbors".
ENRICH also accepts donations of basic household items that can be purchased in our Resale Store.
Many of the clients served by ENRICH require us to deliver furniture due to lack of transportation. On the other hand, many of or community donations come from people who can not deliver the furniture either. Therefore ENRICH offers delivery service for only $10. Unfortunately, our delivery truck has become unsafe and we are in need of a new truck. At this time ENRICH is only offering limited pick up and delivery with the aid of community members who own pick up trucks. Please consider other alternative ways to deliver your items and save our limited volunteers for the most extreme pick up and delivery needs!
Below you will find our current Application, Referral and Policy's for the Community Circle Program. These must be printed, fill out and brought in to the Resale Shop on Wednesday or Fridays from 11-4. You will also need current ID with correct address on it.

The Secret to Jewish Survival
For Pesach in 2017, we went hiking in the foothills of the Himalayas, outside the Dharmsala where the Dalai Lama has his headquarters for the Tibetan people in exile.
We were lost on a trail when we encountered a Tibetan Monk who insisted that we come to his home. It was a tiny room with a tiny garden where he served us tea. Like many Tibetans, he had studied Judaism and the secrets of our survival.
As Dharmsala is on "The Hummus Trail" - the route thousands of post-army Israelis go on - the Monk had met many Israelis. These young souls are often searching for meaning, and often attracted to Buddhism.
The Tibetan Monk shared with us how the Dalai Lama, who was living in exile after the Chinese occupation and uprising, was concerned by how his people living in exile would maintain their culture, customs and traditions. So he asked the experts, the Jews, a people who have already endured 2000 years of exile: what was their secret to maintaining their Jewish identity?
The secret the Dalai Lama learned was the story of Exodus. The Exodus story gave Jews the most profound identity ever held by a nation. Exodus is the story of freedom, hope and the narrative of where we come from.
So our new friend explained that he tells the young Israelis searching for wisdom while on the Hummus Trail, that they must understand their own stories. As long as we never forget our story, we will never lose our identity.
Shabbat Shalom & Pesach Sameach!

Q: Is there a way to check if two lists contain any of the same values in Python? For example if I had:
a = [20,30,56,78,99]
b = [10,20,40,56,99]

What could I use so that I could search the 2 lists get the values 20,56 and 99?
Note: I can't use the set function on this.

A: Python sets are a clean, simple way to do it:
>>> a = [20,30,56,78,99]
>>> b = [10,20,40,56,99]
>>> set(a) & set(b)
set([56, 99, 20])

If you can't use those, the same can be done using dictionaries:
>>> d = dict.fromkeys(b)
>>> for k in a:
        if k in d:
            print k

20
56
99

If the elements aren't hashable, just do a straight contains test:
>>> for k in a:
        if k in b:
            print k

20
56
99

A: You can use sets for this:
a = [20, 30, 56, 78, 99]
b = [10, 20, 40, 56, 99]
print set(a) & set(b)

prints
set([56, 99, 20])

Which is your desired result.

A: values = [x for x in a if x in b] # note that this allows for duplicates

But really, just use sets.

Ispettore generale della Bundeswehr (in tedesco: Generalinspekteur der Bundeswehr) è la denominazione ufficiale che spetta, nell'ordinamento della Repubblica Federale Tedesca, alla massima autorità militare della nazione. L'ispettore generale è il dirigente superiore delle tre forze armate della Bundeswehr e svolge le funzioni di consulente tecnico del Ministro della difesa federale. Egli in tempo di pace è il responsabile amministrativo della Bundeswehr e controlla pianificazione, equipaggiamento, addestramento e prontezza operativa delle forze armate federali. In tempo di guerra assumerebbe le funzioni di comando militare sottoposto alle direttive politiche del ministro e del governo federale.

L'attuale Ispettore generale della Bundeswehr è il generale Eberhard Zorn.

Funzioni dell'Ispettore generale della Bundeswehr

Tutti gli ispettori generali della Bundeswehr sono stati scelti tra ufficiali superiori con il grado di generale d'armata (con quattro stelle) o ammiraglio di squadra con incarichi speciali. L'ispettore generale è contemporaneamente il capo del Führungsstab der Streitkräfte, lo Stato maggiore delle forze armate all'interno del Ministero della difesa federale e il consigliere militare del ministro federale che in tempo di pace è, secondo la terminologia tedesca, Inhaber der Befehls- und Kommandogewalt, la suprema autorità di comando.

Dipendono e sono subordinati all'Ispettore generale della Bundeswehr i comandanti superiori delle singole branche delle forze armate tedesche: l'Ispettore generale dell'Esercito (Heer), della Marina (Deutsche Marine), dell'aviazione (Luftwaffe), e i comandanti dei servizi di supporto combinati e del servizio medico congiunto.

Il termine tedesco Generalinspekteur – "Ispettore generale" – che designa il capo militare responsabile delle forze armate federali venne adottato volutamente per evitare di utilizzare il termine Generalstabschef ("Capo di Stato maggiore generale") che storicamente avrebbe potuto richiamare l'infausta memoria dello Stato maggiore tedesco del II Reich e della Germania nazista a cui era collegato il mito negativo del militarismo e imperialismo germanico. Al momento della creazione della Bundeswehr nel 1955 si ritenne assolutamente inappropriato ogni riferimento a strutture militari del passato che potessero rievocare il deplorevole e criminale comportamento della Wehrmacht nella Seconda guerra mondiale. Di conseguenza la Bundeswehr non ebbe uno "Stato maggiore generale" (Generalstab) ma uno "Stato maggiore esecutivo" (Führungsstab).

L'ispettore generale della Bundeswehr risiede in uffici assegnati all'interno del Ministero federale della Difesa attualmente a Berlino; egli viene nominato al suo alto incarico su proposta del Ministro ma il suo mandato è indipendente e non è connesso a quello del Ministro della difesa. L'ispettore generale è completamente subordinato al potere politico esercito dal Ministro federale della difesa, coadiuvato da quattro sottosegretari, di cui due membri del Parlamento federale e due provenienti dalla carriera ministeriale.

Dal 1970 inoltre con l'ispettore generale collabora il generale responsabile del commissariato per l'istruzione e la formazione delle truppe anche se egli conserva il diritto di ispezione e controllo sui reparti per le questioni di istruzione, formazione e comando.

Ruines de Khami
Khami, qui se développa après l'abandon de la capitale du Grand Zimbabwe au milieu du XVIe siècle, présente un grand intérêt archéologique. Les objets originaires d'Europe et de Chine qu'on y a découverts montrent que la ville fut de longue date un carrefour commercial important.

卡米国家遗址纪念地
卡米曾经是大津巴布韦的首都,并一度得到繁荣发展;在16世纪中叶被遗弃。而今卡米一跃成为重要的考古胜地。从来自欧洲以及中国的发掘物中可以推断,卡米拥有悠久的贸易史。
Национальный памятник Руины Кхами
Древний город Кхами представляет значительный археологический интерес. Он стал развиваться после того, как в середине XVI в. столица Великий Зимбабве была оставлена населением. Здесь обнаружены предметы из Европы и Китая, и это свидетельствует о том, что на протяжении длительного времени Кхами являлся крупным торговым центром.
Monumento nacional de las ruinas de Khami
La ciudad de Khami, que cobró un gran auge tras el abandono de la capital del Gran Zimbabwe a mediados del siglo XVI, presenta un gran interés arqueológico. El descubrimiento de objetos procedentes de Europa y China ha puesto de manifiesto que esta ciudad fue un importante centro de intercambios comerciales durante mucho tiempo.
カミ遺跡群国立記念物
Nationaal monument Khami ruïnes
De Khami ruïnes liggen op een 1.300-meter hoge heuveltop, ten westen van de rivier de Khami, 22 kilometer vanaf de stad Bulawayo. Het gebied heeft een oppervlakte van ongeveer 108 hectare, verspreid over een afstand van ongeveer 2 kilometer. Khami is ontstaan nadat de hoofdstad van Groot-Zimbabwe was achtergelaten halverwege de 16e eeuw. De stad is van groot archeologisch belang vanwege de ontdekking van voorwerpen uit Europa en China. Hieruit blijkt dat Khami gedurende een lange periode een belangrijk handelscentrum is geweest. Verder tonen de architectuur en archeologie van de plek aan dat men uitzonderlijke kennis had van vroegere beschavingen.

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief synthesis
Khami Ruins National Monument is located to the west of the Khami River, 22 km from the City of Bulawayo. The property, located on a 1300 m hilltop downstream from a dam built during 1928-1929, covers an area of about 108 ha, spread over a distance of about 2 km from the Passage Ruin to the North Ruin.
The property was the capital of the Torwa dynasty, which arose from the collapse of the Great Zimbabwe Kingdom between 1450 -1650 and was abandoned during the Ndebele incursions of the 19th century. It is composed of a complex series of platforms of dry-stone walled structures, emulating a later development of Stone Age culture. The chief's residence (Mambo) was located towards the north on the Hill Ruin site with its adjacent cultivation terraces. The population lived in daga huts of cobwork, surrounded by a series of granite walls. These structures display a high standard of workmanship, a great number of narrow passageways and perambulatory galleries and impressive chevron and chequered wall decorations. Khami conforms to Great Zimbabwe in a number of archaeological and architectural aspects but it possesses certain features particular to itself and its successors such as Danangombe and Zinjanja. Revetments or retaining walls found expression for the first time in the architectural history of the sub-region at Khami, and with it were elaborate decorations; it still has the longest decorated wall in the entire sub-region.
The architecture of the site and the archaeological artefacts provide evidence for an exceptional understanding of strong, united, early civilizations. They also offer information on the property's complex socio-economic, religious and spiritual significance for the local communities and for the overall chronological development of Zimbabwe tradition; initiated in Mapungubwe (South Africa), extending to Great Zimbabwe, and through the emergence of later states. The archaeological remains are also a testament to long-distance historic trade links with the Portuguese, and the wider world, the diverse range of imported artefacts provide evidence of 15th and 17th century Spanish porcelain, Rhineland stoneware and Ming porcelain, many of which are on display in the Museum of Natural History in Bulawayo. There is also a monumental granite cross which illustrates the contact with missionaries at a traditionally revered and sacred spiritual site.
Khami is the second largest stone built monument in Zimbabwe. Its historical importance lies in its position at the watershed between the history of Great Zimbabwe and the later Zimbabwe period. It is one of the few Zimbabwe sites that were not destroyed by treasure hunters and its undisturbed stratigraphy is scientifically important in providing a much clearer insight into the history of the country. The climate supports a natural vegetation of open woodland, dominated by Combretum and Terminalia trees. Being close to the Kalahari Desert, the area is also vulnerable to droughts, and rainfall tends to vary considerably. The property has suffered some degradation due to variations in temperature, ground water, tourism, encroaching vegetation and applied preservation techniques.
Criterion (iii): The property is a unique and exceptional testimony to a civilization which has disappeared.The architecture and archaeological artefacts of the site provide important scientific and historical evidence critical for the understanding of the full chronological development of the Zimbabwe tradition from the Stone Age to the Iron Age era.
Criterion (iv):The property is an outstanding example of a type of building and architectural ensemble which illustrates a significant stage in history. It has yielded an exceptional long evidence related to human evolution and human environment dynamics, collectively extending from 100 000 years ago to date and demonstrates testimonial to the long distance trade with the outer world.
Over its area of 108 ha, the property is relatively intact and appropriately maintains the diverse cultural and traditional processes, functions and interactions of the local communities. Dispersed over 2 km, extending from the Passage Ruin to the North Ruin, an appropriate degree of indigenous cultural processes remain for the property to be sufficiently well protected from environmental pressures and alternative land uses. The boundaries are also sufficient in size to fully capture the natural and aesthetic values. In addition to the established boundaries, the property has a buffer zone to retain the natural characteristics of the area. However, some negative effects on the relationship between the site and its setting are being caused by the expansion of the suburbs of Bulawayo (10 km distant), and the polluting discharge from the city's effluent into the Khami River. The buffer zone needs to be carefully monitored so that this relationship does not erode any further.
The ruins have been subjected to some natural erosion, veld fires, burrowing animals, encroaching vegetation, and the effects of tourism. Rain induced ground creepage down the site slopes has increased the incidence of wall cracks, bulges and collapses, adding to the deterioration of the structures, ornamental features and architectural coherence. Conservation and maintenance actions are needed to maintain the existing integrity of the historic fabric.
The authenticity of the historic evidence is unquestionable. The ruins generally follow the pattern and style of the Great Zimbabwe ruins but are considered to be a later development of that culture. It remains an undisturbed, non-functional, archaeological site whilst also still being used by contemporary communities for spiritual purposes. The dry-stone building traditions enhance the sacredness of the area, where human presence is traceable over 100,000 years. Acknowledging huts made of cobwork (daga) enhanced by decorative friezes, and surrounded by a series of granite walls, and with a great number of passage ways and uncovered perambulatory galleries, the current population maintains the historic traditions of the site.
Khami has retained its authenticity largely in part due to the minimal interventions that have been carried out. All restorations have used traditional methods and no new materials have been added. Restorations nowadays are by anastylosis which ensures that no new materials are introduced to the fabric of the site and promotes use of traditional methods of construction.
Protection and management requirements
The archaeological zone was protected as a 'Royal Reserve' until the death of King Lobengule in 1893. In recognition of the historic, cultural and architectural significance of the site, it was scheduled as a National Monument in 1937. Currently the National Museums and Monuments Act Cap. 25:11 legally protect the property and its resources.
Khami Ruins National Monument is managed by National Museums and Monuments as overall responsible Agency. At local level Khami falls under the Western Region administrative unit and a project manager, who liaises with the Regional Director and Executive Director on administrative and policy issues and is responsible for conservation and development.
The government of Zimbabwe partly funds conservation work and also makes available funds for capital improvements through its Public Sector Investment Programme (PSIP). National Museums and Monuments provide some funds raised through entrance fees, filming fees, etc. for conservation. International cooperation has existed for financial support, including assistance for the development of a conservation and site management plan.
A management plan, which derives from a master plan for resource conservation and development, exists and is currently being implemented in accordance with National Museums and Monuments Act. However, there are challenges for implementation because the community was not adequately involved in the nomination of the property and, therefore, do not fully understand the implications of its status. The management plan needs to be periodically updated to respond to new conditions as they arise.
Although the well-defined and buffered boundary is not physically marked, a system of regular monitoring is in place but there are challenges in enforcing restrictions to regulate further developments, particularly from tourism development, and to maintain the conditions of integrity. Larger cooperation is needed to ensure the adequate management of the buffer zone and the conservation of its characteristics.
A regular and well resourced conservation programme is required to maintain stone walls and landforms and to address factors that contribute to deterioration, such as water infiltration and pollution. An appropriate visitor use strategy, including the development of facilities, is needed to regulate visitation at the site and to adequately present and interpret its significance.

SilverStone Kublai KL06 Micro-ATX Chassis Review
Peter Donnell / 6 years ago
1. Introduction2. Interior3. Complete System4. Final Thoughts5. View All Pages
Silverstone is one of the greatest and most established names in the chassis industry, in fact, they're not exactly lacking in other parts of the market either, with extensive product ranges that cater to power supplies, cooling and much more. Silverstone have a lot of technical knowledge when it comes to what makes a great system and you can see that knowledge being put to great use across their entire range; something we hope to see once again in our latest review.
Today I have the latest entry in the Kublai series and this one is particularly special, as it is the first Micro-ATX form factor product in that range; no doubt to address the increased system capacities required by many of today's high-end components, such as RAID arrays and long graphics cards.
"Being the first Micro-ATX chassis in the Kublai series, a line of cases famed for layout efficiency with classic styling, the KL06 fills the role perfectly. Equipped with dual 120mm quiet fans for cooling multiple drives and high-end components, it retains SilverStones' signature positive pressure design for effective dust prevention." – SilverStone
The chassis caters well to modern hardware, dropping support for lots of 3.5″ drives, favoring a setup for 8 x 2.5″ drives and just a single 3.5″ drive on the interior. Storage bays are removable to make way for water cooling, there's room for a large graphics card, high-end PSU and a whole lot more; so let's get right to it and take a closer look at what the KL06 has to offer!
The Kublai is a fairly simple looking chassis, but none the less, one that is very nicely designed. The left side panel is a solid panel, cut from thick steel that should help greatly reduce unwanted noise and vibrations from your system.
Another thick panel on the right side of the chassis. Both side panels are mounted with two thumbscrews at the rear, providing you with quick and easy access to the chassis interior.
The front panel is really nicely designed, with two 5.25″ drive bays at the top and a semi-transparent front panel mesh, behind which you can see the front fans.
The main I/O panel has all the usual ports and switches while also being another of this years chassis to drop the older USB 2.0 ports entirely.
The front cover can be easily removed via clip at the bottom, allowing you to easily clean the filter and maintain your fans.
Around the back, you'll quickly notice that the motherboard mounting is inverted, with the I/O at the bottom and the PSU mounting at the top. There's plenty of ventilation here, an optional fan mount at the bottom and a screw on protective cover for the four expansion slot mounts.
The top panel has a large ventilation section for the PSU air intake.
It has a magnetic dust filter attached, which is far easier to keep clean than most PSU filters that are located on the underside of the chassis.
There's four rubber feet on the bottom of the chassis to help keep it firmly in place, even on hard surfaces.

In most states, an assault/battery is committed when one person: 1) tries to or does physically strike another, or 2) acts in a threatening manner to put another in fear of immediate harm. Many states declare that a more serious assault/battery occurs when one: 1) tries to or does cause severe injury to another, or 2) causes injury through use of a deadly weapon. In some cases, an assault/battery can be pursued via civil laws as opposed to criminal.
The definition of assault varies from state-to-state, but assault is often defined as an attempt to injure someone else, and in some circumstances, can include threats or threatening behavior against others.

The Amazigh (Berber) are credited with preserving the Phoenician language till the time of Saint Augustine in the 5th century & traces of the Phoenician alphabet are evident in the Tamazight (Berber) alphabet called Tifinagh. The presence of the Berber in North Africa today is a living proof that the "Arab World" is not made up of 325 million Arabs. In fact, pan-Arabism is an unfounded heresy forced down the throats of people conquered and subjugated beginning with the advent of the Arab conquest in the 7th century. The Amazigh, much like the overwhelming majority of the people of this (Arab) "world," belong to a wide variety of ethnic groups that are different in blood, tradition, language, literature, art and history, and should not be lumped together as a single people.

EIP named one of Europe's leading patent firms
EIP has been ranked by the Financial Times in the top tier amongst Europe's leading patent firms, in electronics and in mechanical engineering.
The rating is the result of a joint project by the Financial Times and Statista, which conducted extensive research. A wide-ranging survey was sent to over 10,000 European patent attorneys and experts in the R&D departments of corporations. After analysing the thousands of recommendations received by survey participants, less than 150 firms stood out as the clear winners. The report focuses on innovation and the business of patent attorneys.
The report covers six broad sectors: Chemistry & Pharmaceuticals; Electrical Engineering; Mechanical Engineering; Biotechnology & Food &; and Materials & Nanotechnology, and we are delighted to be ranked as gold for Electrical Engineering and Mechanical engineering; and silver for Biotechnology & Food and Chemistry & Pharmaceuticals.

More women in senior roles: If only companies really wanted it
by: Gerry Purcell, Shirley Knight, Shirley KnightIssues: November / December 2011. Tags: The Workplace. Categories: Governance, Leadership, and The Workplace.
Promoting women to C-Suite positions and nominating them to sit on boards are goals that are still, for the most part, a long way from being realized. As these authors underline, responsibility for stepping up to meet these goals starts at the top. Leaders will read about five principles that they can apply and that will accelerate the promotion of women to the C-Suite and the boardroom.
The advancement of women has been a focus of corporations for over 25 years, yet the ratio of women in top jobs has remained virtually unchanged in the past 10 years. In fact, in some major organizations, early progress has given way to a stall or decline. This persistent absence of gender balance and other manifestations of diversity at senior levels in Canadian corporations is not a "women's issue." Rather, it is a competitive disadvantage. Moreover, it is one that should be of concern to all Canadians, whether they are aware of this imbalance or not.
The smooth curve of steady economic growth we have experienced for the last 80 years has changed. A graph of economic performance in the world now looks like a roller coaster and experts forecast that this trend will continue for the foreseeable future. The lack of women in management represents a significant opportunity cost for Canadian companies, which must remain competitive in the face of this dynamic global marketplace.
Our desire for continued sustainability and growth will require companies to harness the energies of their entire talent pool, including women and men of all stripes. This requires leadership. Research has revealed that the most successful companies are the most agile, i.e., those able to create both positive value and opportunity from what others call "uncertainty" or "surprises." These companies accomplish this by encouraging and incorporating multiple and diverse points of view – not by relying on habitual thinking developed in some other context. Management teams, who welcome diversity of thought, especially in times of change, create advantage for their companies.
Making this diversity of thought the "way we do business around here" requires a transformation, with cultural change at its root. This is no small feat. Culture is deep, largely unspoken, historical and completely immovable unless addressed head on. Historically, the cultural legacy of business is one of male leadership, something that made sense in another time, when the cultural dynamic for women was different and far fewer were engaged in the business of business. But, today there are over 7 million women in the Canadian workforce, 72 million in the U.S. and proportionate levels of participation in all the developed countries of the worlds. In some cohorts women represent a larger percentage of the workforce than men.
Culture, and more specifically changing a culture, is an executive responsibility. Although words "from the top" often say that women are welcome in more senior roles, the "walk" or reality is heavily influenced by expectations from another century, that continue to shape senior management.
In the following article, we discuss how companies inadvertently handicap themselves by failing to tap into the entire available talent pool. As well, we provide insight into the cultural barriers to change and offer five critical principles that leaders can apply to help achieve a true gender balance.
What has been going on all these years?
In our view, actions in the recent past have focused on counting women rather than taking full advantage of the talent pool and building a meaningful pipeline.
There has been a recent spate of articles about women in business – or more to the point, about women not in the business of leading business. It is well documented that senior management roles and board positions continue to go to men across all industries.
Although women comprise 48 percent of the workforce and over 50 percent of university graduates, their presence falls off the ladder rather quickly as roles become more senior. Specifically, only 36.5 percent of lower level managers are women; less than 18 percent are top executives; less than 14 percent are on boards, and a mere 6 percent are CEOs of North American companies. The number of board positions that have gone to women in the past 3 years has increased by a rousing 0.2 percent. As Catalyst, a 50-year-old organization focused on promoting gender diversity and the advancement of women points out, if this rate of change in senior management and board roles continues, we will have parity by the end of this century!
On the one hand, the data clearly prove that, notwithstanding claims to the contrary, women have not progressed in the last while. So, there is no need to waste our time on circular and useless arguments about "level playing fields" and "equal opportunities for women." On the other hand, however, this trend is very disturbing and reflects an almost stereotypical resistance to change. For the last 20 years, corporate leaders and boards have been busy "counting women" and "gathering proof" instead of opening their senior teams to input from diverse sources. Our recent dialogue and experience with a number of organizations, including pharmaceutical, technology, banking, accounting and consulting organizations, reveal that this remains true. If innovation and growth are the true goals, stalling tactics such as counting can be considered dangerous. In fact, this endless dialogue about the business value of increasing the participation and advancement of women in our organizations at all levels is itself a significant barrier to advancement. In fact, as Ivey professor Alison Konrad has discovered in her research, the attitudes towards women held by men graduating from business school today are the same as they were 30 years ago, as are the differences in pay,, even among MBA's.
Opportunity lost
In economic terms, this lack of openness and the absence of transparent dialogue represent a significant opportunity cost. By focusing on the "way we have always run this company" boards and executives reinforce mediocrity and leave significant performance potential on the table. This is simply because diversity is a moneymaker. The profitability of companies with gender-balanced senior teams outperforms the industry average by over 34 percent, according to McKinsey. Catalyst has uncovered similar findings, as have many others.
In knowledge-based industries in particular, cultures with collaborative and inclusive leadership styles have been credited with consistently superior performance and increased innovation. That women excel at this leadership style is well documented and undisputed. Further, at present more women than men are graduating from university, and thus the talent pool of competent women is richer than ever. The pool of talent potentially excluded is also larger than ever.
Investment firms are becoming aware of the opportunity cost and embedded risk in companies whose senior management and boards are not diverse. Canterbury Investments in California regularly publishes a list of companies governed by all-male boards. It asks shareholders to write to the companies in which they invest to voice their concern about the potential blind spots in such homogenous boards. Investors are the last people who want to leave profit on the table, yet their lack of awareness of this issue and its implications have allowed this imbalance to prevail unabated.
We had thought that we were done with this issue. Like most of our friends and colleagues, we were blissfully unaware that women remained blocked in being promoted to senior roles. In 1995, a Canadian bank ran a program for gender awareness in its investment and corporate banking groups. While the bank strove for gender-balanced workshops, they ran out of senior women after the first two sessions, so it had to improvise pretty quickly because there were still over 100 senior managers/VPs left to engage. Given the current statistics on the gender imbalance at senior and board levels, it is shocking to realize that the same challenge would exist today!
As with any complex, systemic problem, the contributing factors are many and varied. Does lack of opportunity for women in senior roles stem from an underlying and unspoken corporate bias, particularly at the executive and board level? The answer is "Yes." Is it because women opt out? Yes. Is it because promotional practices and other formal and informal "systems" blatantly favour men? Yes. Is it because women don't ask for what they want and expect less? Yes. Is it because women typically advance through staff versus operational roles and/or are not given developmental opportunities in operational roles? Yes. Is it because no one is accountable for change at the senior level? Yes. Is this bias evident in both male and female executives and board members? Yes – all of the above and a bit more. (Each of these statements is supported by independent and documented research by McKinsey on the case for diversity, Alison Konrad on Women in Leadership; Development Dimensions International Inc. on Holding Women Back; and Resonance Insights, with primary research on culture and underlying beliefs, to name just a few organizations that have researched the subject).
Culture and transparency
Solving this problem is also about cultural change and becoming transparent, goals that are not only time consuming but that also require strong leadership and tenacity. Cultural change is no small feat. Culture is deep, largely unspoken, historical and completely immovable unless it is addressed head on. As Malcolm Gladwell so aptly put it in Outliers – The Story of Success:
"Cultural legacies are powerful forces. They have deep and long lives. They persist generation after generation virtually intact, even as the economic, social and demographic conditions that spawned them have vanished…"
The cultural legacy of business is, in part, one of male leadership. In another time, perhaps this made sense. At one time, raising children and running a house without electricity or plumbing was a daunting and time consuming task. Women just didn't have time to be JP Morgan or Nelson Rockefeller. In those days, very few women were either educated or even in the work force. Today, where two-income families are often a necessity in order to meet daily needs, there are 7 million Canadian women and 72 million American women in their respective workforces. Yet a mere 735 women are Fortune 100 senior executives.
The main reason that there are few women at the top is because the cultural legacies have not been challenged, but rather honoured. As an example, the lack of transparency in executive-level promotion and recruitment policies has enabled the tacit assumptions of an inherited culture to continue to drive decision-making and choice. Examples such as this are abundant. For example, 67 percent of senior women are in non-operational (i.e., staff) roles; and even in companies where women are more than 80 percent of the workforce, men account for more than 50 percent of the high potentials.
Our Solution – Five Critical Principles
Cracking this cultural inertia can bring a significant advantage. The critical success factor for initiating and driving this change is leadership. Specifically, it is leadership that does not relegate the task of cultural change to the human resources department or pursue inconsequential tactics to buy time, but rather enacts the change it wants to see. Success will come from "being" a leader that both values and leverages diversity of thought to meet the challenges of a dynamic marketplace. In short, a role model for the future.
We offer five principles that a concerned leader, of either gender, can follow, principles that will produce meaningful, lasting change.
Change starts with you. Although your role is to take the company into the future, you are a product of the past. In fact, individual decision-making processes were locked in by the time you were thirty years of age. Know this about yourself and know also that your ability to create a viable and sustainable future in this dynamic economy is directly related to your ability to open your mind and thinking to new information and perspectives.
Don't let culture eat your strategy: Embedded and unspoken organizational biases can easily derail change efforts. What are the perceptions, fears and aspirations in the current culture? Where is the most resistance and why? What are you going to do about them? With the advances in neuroscience and the understanding of emotional intelligence, unspoken cultural biases can be easily and precisely identified. The resulting insights can enable you and your leadership team to spot strengths, and opportunities and/or obstacles in your current culture that can be leveraged to create an agile corporation and make senior ranks more diverse. If properly understood, directed and consciously managed by leaders, culture can drive and help you meet strategic objectives.
Understand that transparency is your most powerful tool: To impact the culture and create lasting change, learning and change at all three levels are essential. Be clear and open about your strategy – what you want and where you are going. Make promotional processes and developmental opportunities fully transparent. What does it take to get on the senior team? Or the high-potential list? What criteria are required to become eligible for a promotion and why? How can I be selected for developmental opportunities – especially operational ones?
"Be" rather than "Do": Hold the senior team accountable for more than tactics and building buy-in. All management teams will ultimately be impacted, however, creating a culture that seeks and appreciates that diversity starts – rather than ends – with the most senior team. The one thing all leaders have in common is that they consistently underestimate the impact they have on those around them. What you say and do are watched and followed constantly by those whose work your role affects. Thus your clarity of direction and enthusiasm for leveraging all talent will be both closely observed and infectious, or easily undone by inconsistency or bad behaviour.
To the board: Set goals and raise expectations; this is the board's role. And you cannot stop there. "Be" that role model yourselves. Open the board to non-traditional candidates. There are strong and capable candidates but, as many search firms report, you are not considering or even seeking these candidates. Expect openness from senior management by being open yourselves.
Enable and strengthen women and make them aware of the challenge: In the current cultural environment, the playing field is not level. Thus, women need more confidence and must be more capable than men to achieve the same goals. Conferences, networks and mentors represent a starting point, but they are clearly ineffective on their own. Instead, help women to be systematic and deliberate about activating their potential and overcoming the subtle, unspoken blocks they encounter as they seek or take on more senior roles.
In addition to confidence and capability, women also need opportunity. Many senior women we interviewed have struggled in the past due to lack of sponsorship of someone at the executive table, i.e., someone who is prepared to put them forward, particularly for developmental projects and assignments in operational roles. You can be that leader who consciously places women in developmental roles; expect the same from your direct reports.
And to women – expect more. Expect equal pay; expect and seek out stretch assignments; ask for what you want. This is what men do and as history has repeatedly proved, it works very well.
Finally, men need to be actively engaged in these strategies to improve transparency, and help surface and correct years of systemic bias.
Einstein said that "the definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results." After more than 20 years of trying and not doing, it clearly is time for boards and leaders to recognize and take action to engage a more diverse talent pool and in doing so, form the foundation for success over the long run. The ultimate winners will be the countries and companies who identify and leverage all of the talent, innovation and ideas available to them.
