Earlier I wrote why we are moving towards a self-managed organisation. But we realise we are not there yet. And we love to be inspired by the best examples possible.
A couple of weeks ago I co-organised a so-called Leadership Bootcamp for current and future leaders of Incentro. Each of these bootcamps enable mental and physical growth by providing a balanced program. Theme of this edition was Self Management related to Incentro. Keynote speaker was Jos de Blok from Buurtzorg. In my opinion the best example of a self-managed organisation and a personal bucket list item to meet him. Jos de Blok was indeed inspiring and I like to share with you the six main eye-openers.
From day one, Buurtzorg has the purpose "Helping home-based patients become healthy and autonomous". And that is clear to everyone within the company. Even better, everyone wants to deliver the best possible healthcare, in order to meet the company's purpose.
For incentro, our mission is: digital happiness. We believe that happy incentronauts (colleagues of incentro) deliver excellent results. A clear mission, but not yet a purpose.
In traditional organisations, with lots of staff and things are unnecessary complex. Different departments, targets and interests. A lot to manage. Simplify your business, to make it easier to be organised within teams. For example, make your service offering easier. Make the hourly rate more equal; stop with some services so you keep the ones your best at.
Even within Incentro, where we keep our overhead at minimum, things are sometimes complex. We have a principle of cell division, if an office grows bigger than 60 employees we split up in 2 offices. We have 7 offices in the Netherlands and all of them have different service offerings.
"Only do things that are needed." Sounds simple right? And it should be. It's only as hard as you make it. With a clear purpose for the company, choosing between what is needed is pretty straight forward. But you have to force yourself to be honest to yourself and the organisation.
If we are honest, within Incentro we still tend to plan a meeting because it sounds a good thing to do. But is it? We do not ask ourselves the question if it's needed. And that is only a simple example.
Self management and old fashioned management teams are in battle with each-other. Self organised teams are responsible for the complete process of its services/product. What management do you need? With the experience managers have, they are still very valuable. So make them coaches, and they can share their experience.
Ex-managers tend to get back in their old role as manager, just because they are used to (comfort zone). It's up to the teams and coaches to make sure the added value is in coaching and sharing knowledge over the teams.
5. One question to rule them all!
"What can we do to make your work a success?" Freely translated from his specific question in Buurtzorg: "What can we do to enable you to provide the best possible healthcare?" Exactly the right question to empower the employees to get the best out themselves. And learn from it, to know how you can facilitate them.
Within Incentro we use Moodforce as a tool to measure our own happiness score and feedback to make it even better. This specific question is never asked. So we will add it right away.
Successful teams within Buurtzorg have a bilability of 60%, a customer satisfaction score of 90 and are great in working as a team. These best practises are based on years of experience and evolved into so-called rules of thumb. A great guideline to measure yourself as a team to know if you are on the right track.
We don't have the years of experience as Buurtzorg and its self managed teams. But we do have experience in successful propositions, so we are able to draft the guidelines (best practices) and get the experience along the way.
Wow, so much inspiration and such a sober man is Jos de Blok. Via this route I want to thank him again.
I'm also very interested in your experience. Which of the above eye openers are you already using (or not) and why?

TKZee, HHP and Mango Groove To Be Honoured at the SAMAs!
South African music legends TKZee, the late HHP and 90s group Mango Groove are all set to receive their well deserved prestigious gongs at the looming South African Music Awards 2019
SAMA25 will bestow the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Awards to the late hip hop star HHP, kwaito legends TKZee and the acclaimed 90s group Mango Groove.
HHP who passed away last year will be remembered for the critical role he played in making Motswako a force to be reckoned with. His career is punctuated with a series of firsts, including being one of the first artists to make rapping over a kwaito beat popular as well as being the first hip hop artist to have multiple successful sync deals.
Jabba will also be remembered as the host of SAMAXXI and for the mentor role he played to many artists. He is undeniably one of the greatest forces in South African music and a shape shifter.
The trailblazing Mango Groove was started in 1984 with their unique brand of music fusing marabi and kwela. Their hits "Special Star", "Another Country" and "Moments Away" to name a few became anthems that sealed their position as the emblematic rainbow nation for being multi ethnic at a time of apartheid.
RELATED: REFLECTING ON JABBA'S RISE TO THE TOP
The talented front woman Claire Johnston backed by an equally gifted band that included the late trumpet great Banza Kgasoane became national treasures and faces of the national reconciliation and social cohesion project.
TKZee were the poster boys of cool in the 1990s as they pioneered a sound so unique in the process rewriting South Africa's music history books by becoming the biggest selling kwaito group.
The three piece boy band of Kabelo Mabalane, Zwai Bala and Tokollo Tshabalala gave local audiences classics such as Palalafala and Shibobo. In 1999 TKZee experienced their biggest night at the SAMAs when they scooped five awards including Best Duo/Group and Best Kwaito Album, a record they held on to for years.

Congratulating the achievers Nhlanhla Sibisi, CEO of RiSA said: 'We are proud that at this milestone, 25th anniversary of the SAMA we will be honouring these giants of music who played such a big role in South African music.
Mango Groove is an institution that tells our history as a people and the spirit of tenacity and rising above the odds when it was not so fashionable for blacks and whites to work together. TKZee heralded the early days of freedom with a sound so fresh and invigorating that they became legends in a short space of time.
HHP entrenched and adapted the culture of hip hop to a South African audience as he shunned twanging and instead made Setswana fashionable. It's also extra special that his first posthumous award comes from the industry he gave so much of himself to. We applaud our SAMA25 achievers and we recognise their sterling achievements. Bravo.'
RELATED: SAMA25 RECORD OF THE YEAR NOMINATIONS
North West MEC for Culture, Arts and Traditional Affairs, Mme Ontlametse Mochware, also lauded the three acts on their achievements.
"The Lifetime Achievement Award is probably the finest award an artist can earn, whether they are living or not," said MEC Mochware.
"This is a reflection of the influence and impact HHP, Mango Groove and Tkzee have had on the musical landscape in South Africa and beyond. They truly deserve the honour, and we are proud of them for the example they set for the youth and the inspiration they have been to us all.
"As the North West, we are particularly happy that our own HHP is one of the legends recognised in this year's prestigious awards. This will further enhance his stature as a role-model to our youth. We are looking forward to a memorable Sama night."
The SAMA25 takes place on May 31 and June 1 in Sun City, North West province. It will be broadcast live on June 1 on SABC1 at 8pm.
Every Top Act Nominated At This Year's SAMAs
Black Coffee stamped his authority on the local music scene when he walked away with an impressive five nods at tonight's SAMA25 nominee announcement.
The internationally acclaimed DJ's album Music is King secured him spots in Album of the Year, Male Artist of the Year and Best Dance Album. He also scored a double nomination in the Collaboration of the Year award, first for Drive featuring David Guetta and Delilah Montagu and second for Wish You Were Here featuring Asanda Lusaseni-Mvana.
For their 25th year, the SAMAs 'returned home' to their cradle at the Alberton Civic Theatre, east of Johannesburg where they were first held in 1994.
The night heavy with sentiment and nostalgia was hosted by the iconic Dosto Noge of Duku Duku fame and child star Hulisani Ravele and featuring some spectacular performances from SAMA Award winning musicians. The industry also came out in droves to place bets on who would be nominated and what a nail-biter it turned out to be.
Hot on the heels of Black Coffee was Sjava's Umqhele that earned him four nominations in Album of the Year, Male Artist of the Year, Best Afro Pop Album and Best Engineer.
Also standing at four nods is Sho Madjozi in Female Artist of the Year, Newcomer of the Year, Best Kwaito/ Gqom/ Amapiano Album for Limpopo Champions League and Music Video of the Year for Huku.
It was also a good night for Zonke who bagged four nods in Album of the Year, Female Artist of the Year, Best R&B/Soul Album and Best Produced Album for L.O.V.E. Sun-El Musician also hit a slam dunk with four nominations in Newcomer of the Year, Best Dance Album for Africa To The World and a double whammy in the Collaboration of the Year first for Sonini featuring Simmy and Ntaba Ezikude featuring Simmy.
Nasty C scored three nominations in Best Hip Hop Album, Best Produced Album and Best Engineer for Strings and Bling while Vusi Nova also sits pretty with nods in Album of the Year, Best engineer and Best Afro Pop Album for Manyan-nyan.
The late Oliver Mtukudzi is up for the Rest of Africa Artist award where he is nominated with Diamond Platnumz from Tanzania, Kommanda Obbs from Lesotho, Mr Eazi from Nigeria and Nixon Zimbabwe.
It will be an epic battle as the Best Hip Hop Album award is vied for by AKA (Touch My Blood), Emtee (DIY2), Jabba X (#FGTBB), Kid X (Thank Da King) and Nasty C (Strings and Bling).
The top honours in the Best Jazz Album category is contested by Sibusiso Mash Mashiloane (Closer to Home), Thandi Ntuli (Exiled), Bokani Dyer Trio (Neo Native), Tune Recreation Committee (Afrika Grooves with the Tune Recreation Committee and Mandisi Dyantyi (Somandla).
In the Best Maskandi Album Thokozani Langa (Iyabuza Induna) takes on Ofeleba (Hi &Low), Sgwebo Sentambo (Yekani Umona), Mbuzeni (Ungishiyelani) and Ichwane Lebhaca (Imali Yesoso).
SAMA25 sees the return of the Best Reggae Album category. Nominees vying for the trophy are Bongo Riot (Next Levels), Botanist (Game Changer), Ras Vuyo (Diversion) The Mediators (Explosion) and Black Dillinger (Mavara is King).
Two reality TV show winners Tholwana (2.0.1.5) and Paxton (This is Me) stake their claim for glory in the Best Pop Album as they go up against Majozi (Majozi), Tresor (Nostalgia) and Jarrad Ricketts (Break the Rules) while in the Beste Pop Album Snotkop (SOUS) is pitted up against 4 Werke (4 by 4), The Rockets (Sonskyn), Brendan Peyper (Dis Nie Sonde Nie) and Jan Bloukaas (Lewe).
The Best Traditional Faith Music Album is a stiff competition between Lebo Sekgobela (Umusa), Kholeka (Your Word – Alibuyi Lilambatha Izwi Lakho), Spirit of Praise (Spirit of Praise Vol.7), Sipho Ngwenya (Intimate Worship Season 3) and Paul K (Time of God Manifest).
In the Best Contemporary Faith Music Album Ntokozo Mbambo (Moments in Time) will slug it out with Neyi Zimu (Another Level of Worship), Khaya Mthethwa (All About Jesus), Tshwane Gospel Choir (The Next Revival) and We Will Worship (Seasons Volume 1)

Мэри Джин Боуман (17 октября 1908 — 4 июня 2002) — американский экономист, занимавшийся в основном экономикой образования.

Личная жизнь и образование
Мэри Джин Боуман родилась 17 октября 1908 года в Нью-Йорке. Она выросла в Ньютон-центре, штат Массачусетс. В 1930 году она окончила Вассарcкий колледж с членством в Phi Beta Kappa. Два года спустя она получила степень магистра искусств в Рэдклифф-колледже, а в 1938 году-степень доктора философии в Гарвардском университете.

В 1942 вышла замуж за экономиста Чарльза Арнольда Андерсона.

Карьера
В 1930-е годы доктор Боуман занималась исследованиями и расследованиями в женской тюрьме штата Массачусетс. Первая работа Боуман после колледжа была в 1932 году, она работала городским руководителем Бюро статистики труда США. Три года спустя она стала преподавателем, а затем ассистентом профессора в Университете штата Айова, где она оставалась до 1943 года. Когда она преподавала в университете штата Айова, ее и других преподавателей под давлением молочной промышленности попросили поддержать идею о том, что «масло лучше для вас, чем маргарин». После этого, она, её муж, Теодор Шульц, Д. Гейл Джонсон и другие покинули университет в знак протеста.

В 1935—1936 учебном году она занимала должность директора отдела потребительских закупок Северо-Западного центрального региона Министерства сельского хозяйства США, а в 1941 году была приглашенным профессором Университета Миннесоты. В 1944-46 годах она была старшим экономистом в Бюро статистики труда. Боуман была научным сотрудником программы Фулбрайта в Швеции в 1956-57 годах, а затем был контрактным исследователем ресурсов будущее до 1959 года.

Из-за того, что ее муж был преподавателем Чикагского университета, Боуман работала адъюнкт-профессором Чикагского университета, пока не получила назначение на факультет в 1958 году, в результате изменения правил в университете. В 1969 году она получила совместное назначение на экономический и педагогический факультеты университета.

Также Боуман работала приглашенным профессором в Югославии, Бразилии, Швеции, Лондонской школе экономики и во Всемирном банке.

Мэри Джин Боуман была единственной женщиной — членом исследовательского совета по социальным наукам, а в 1953 году она работала на национальном уровне в Американской ассоциации университетских женщин.

Используя данные из Соединенных Штатов, Мексики, Японии и Малайзии, Боуман исследовала влияние образования на экономическое развитие и распределение доходов, уделяя особое внимание взаимосвязи между рождаемостью и технологическими изменениями. Некоторые из ее более поздних работ исследуют ожидания и принятие бизнес-решений, особенно инвестиционных.

Опубликованные работы
Мэри Джин Боуман написала шесть книг и более семидесяти пяти статей. Она была известна своими работами в области экономики образования. В 1940-х и 1950-х годах учебник, который она написала в соавторстве с Джорджем Лиландом Бахом, под названием «Экономический анализ и государственная политика», стал самым популярным учебником по экономике. Она исследовала и публиковала статьи по внутренним и международным экономическим вопросам, а также работала вместе со своим мужем над публикацией работ.

INDIANA UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL MEDIA CONFERENCE-COACH TOM ALLEN
Oct 19, 2021 | BIG 10 SPORTS, COLLEGE FOOTBALL, FOOTBALL, INDIANA FOOTBALL, SPORTS NEWS AND SCORES
TOM ALLEN: — We needed one more to try to create an opportunity for ourselves. Obviously offensively not getting the job done. Got to protect the football. Not doing that. That's costly, been very costly again. Not scoring in the red zone.
Special teams, still feel like our punt team was not what it needed to be, quality of the punts. Missed a chance to down the ball inside the five. Thought we were going to, didn't. Kind of mishandled that. That changes drives. That was a field goal drive for them, started on the 20. Should have started inside the five.
Those kind of things, that's how you win games like that, close games that come down to final possessions, being able to get the job done there.
Just spent a lot of time the past couple days here working on that. We'll not stop. Excited about the opportunity we have coming up. Great football team coming to Bloomington, night game. Love that type of atmosphere. Excited to have the stadium packed. And our guys are going to be ready and we're going to have a great week of practice. Welcome this challenge with an excitement and intensity that I know it's going to demand.
Questions.
Q. You mentioned the offense. What more did you see on a rewatch, how Jack did in his first start this year?
TOM ALLEN: He did some good things. The two picks were costly. One was pressured, one was not. Got to protect the football. Even when you're pressured, sack is not a bad thing. Got to punt, got to punt. Defense is playing at a high level. Just protect the football. That's the biggest takeaway. Decisions, he made some mistakes. But first time starting this year.
Still at times looked like he was a guy that hasn't played a lot of football collectively, which he has not. But still expect him to play a little better than he did. He's got to rise up. He'll learn it from, play better.
Had open receivers. Didn't hit at times. That hurt us even in the red zone. Some of that was protection, but mostly it was getting his eyes to the right spots.
Solid performance, but not good enough. He'll get better. We have to coach better, give him some better options. We got to do a better job. I got to do a better job. The buck stops with me.
Q. Ohio State is obviously an incredibly explosive offense. How much of a test is that for your defense? What is the one thing you feel you need to take away in terms to have success?
TOM ALLEN: Yeah, they create a lot of issues. They're just so explosive. Their receiver core is different than you usually will see. They got three receivers that are as good as anybody you're going to face in the country. So that puts a lot of stress on you. Talented quarterback. Talented running backs as well.
But I just think not allowing those explosive pass plays to me is really… Just get guys so wide open it seems. It's tough. Puts a ton of stress on you. But obviously you got to stop the run, there's no doubt about that. Just giving those up, that's where they can really pile it on, score fast, be able to make it difficult on you as well.
I think that core concept of pressuring the quarterback, being able to do things there with stressing him out mentally and physically is going to be key.
Q. Forgive me, I'm sure you're not going to break it down in specific X's and O's. We've asked about the offensive line in different ways. You feel like you're getting more or less your best five out there at this point from a health perspective. What from your vantage point are you trying to do that's not working consistently enough to give you that platform to keep pressure off the quarterback, stay on schedule offensively, execute in the red zone?
TOM ALLEN: Yeah, I mean, I think just continuing to work. I mean, we got to find some ways I think schematically to take some pressure off to give them the ability to execute.
When you go through and look and evaluate, the phrase that came back to me was 'consistent execution'. That to me is where we continue to get better at times, but not good enough. I think the end was kind of glaring because that's what you remember, the finish. That didn't give us a chance to be able to get the ball down the field and make the throws we needed to make.
But I feel like you got to look at the big picture of it all to try to continue. There's certain guys you might say, Hey, we're going to try to put a guy in, get him some more reps with that unit. That's a possibility for sure. But just to continue to find ways not allow the defense to be able to gang up, tee off, have faster reads. Be able to cause pause in those reads to me is something we really want to do a better job of as an offense.
But it starts up front. Did some good things, but not good enough. It's got to be consistent. More timely mistakes, miscommunication, ability to not pick up a twist here or there at the wrong time when it really showed up. Sometimes those things can happen and it doesn't create a game-changing negative play. It seemed to happen more frequently in this one when those things did occur.
But still just not to what we have to be. Obviously we know what the objective is. We got to score points. We did move the football. But especially in the first half. 46 snaps, 46 plays, nine points, it's not good enough. Got to score points. Can't be kicking those field goals as many as we did. Glad we made 'em, but at the same time you knew it was going to need more than that. Obviously we didn't.
Q. You don't like to talk about injuries and availability. The Ohio State receiving core that you mentioned. Can you at least give us an idea as to whether you think Taiwan and Reese will be available for Saturday? Also talk about the depth in that secondary, Noah, Josh.
TOM ALLEN: I would say hopeful with those two guys. It's one of those situations where we don't know for sure. I don't know right now today. Definitely need 'em. Want to get 'em ready. Whatever we can play, have them play. Will be huge for us. They're two very talented players.
Just working every day, man. They're working their tails off. Our staff is doing everything they can do. Like to at least get one of them if we can.
Then Noah Pierre really sticks out to me. As a matter of fact I mentioned him yesterday, nine tackles, huge interception at the end. No question they were going after him. So proud of him. A few weeks ago he was playing a different position. He has played multiple positions in our secondary, third down package.
Just a tough, a hard-nosed kid we loved when we saw him out of high school, thought he was a competitive guy. Knew he was a little undersized, but loved his heart, loved his passion of the way he played the game, how physical he played the game. Just thought he was always a competitor. That's proven to be true. Did a heck of a job for us. Made plays for us the previous week, this week he was called upon.
We thought Reese was going to be able to go a lot more than he did. Wasn't quite ready yet when he tried to get out there and play. Put a lot of pressure on him.
Josh, the same thing. He's showing up all over the place, different situations. Got a huge pick. I think those guys, we needed them. He had to play early in the season. Now he's playing a more expanded role on third downs, moving him around, learning different things, trying to make adjustments.
Those guys have to continue to show up. We need more guys to do that at other positions as well. That's part of recruiting guys. We need 'em. This team has to rise up. Everybody has a role to play, everybody has got an opportunity. Opportunity is created because oftentimes injuries from other guys around you. When this opportunity comes, we're going to see who is going to step up and take advantage of it.
Q. We got to see Donaven McCulley a little bit finally. Are you trying to manage that four-game redshirt situation with him or are you going to try to be more aggressive?
TOM ALLEN: We were going to. Now we're not. When Michael went down, we had to make the decision that he's going to have to go. But before that, that kind of was the thought. We just use those four games in a judicious way. Now he's the number two guy, training to be the next guy in.
Expect to see him more. Really kind of even thought we might use him a little bit more Saturday. Then I wanted to see us do that, and we will. Just try to get — obviously that was his first time ever playing in a game collegiately. Did some good things. Just got to get him to be able to get out there and play football. Very talented guy.
We have to maximize our roster. To me he's one of the guys that can make plays with the ball in his hand. That's the decision we had to make when Michael got hurt.
Q. Obviously one offensive touchdown in three Big Ten games. What do you see as the big issues there? Why do you think the numbers are what they are?
TOM ALLEN: To me, we're turning the ball over. You can go through, look at those games, that's number one. Number two, the red zone issues. To me when you get down in there, I know you can go ahead and say what you want about those three Big Ten teams, but they have really, really good defenses, all three of them. They're really good in the red zone.
You get in that area of the field, it's even harder to score on those really good defenses. At the same time that's reality, that's what it is. You just got to be able to do some things.
I will say this. You talk about Saturday's game, we had three opportunities where receivers were open. I thought wide open. We needed to get them the football for a variety of reasons. That's where you have to execute. You talk about to me that's really what it comes back to, consistent execution at critical times. Obviously the red zone is a critical time.
Whether it's the fact you get a long drive, we had several of those, you have to be able to finish through that drive and execute when it counts the most. Right now we're not doing that. You have to evaluate why. You look at those things, play calling, the scheme, the guys executing. It's a combination of everything for sure.
At the end of the day players have to make those plays. We got to put them in position to make those plays. You make those plays when you're confident and decisive. That's what we got to get to. That's the part, the numbers are what they are. You see them, I agree with it. Definitely a huge emphasis, going to change some things structurally, how we practice, the things we do down in there. A huge point of emphasis, no question.
Q. Ohio State is a fabulous team, ranked top five. They're a young team. How do you feel playing a young team like that will work to your team's advantage?
TOM ALLEN: We are at home. That's a positive thing. There's no question they do have some youth, some very talented youth, mind you. But it is youth. Youth is youth. I think you play on the road, expecting a big crowd, a loud crowd. The intensity and the energy, like we had this past Saturday, like we had at all of our home games, which has been awesome. That plays into that.
That's the best part of it. We got to be able to in that moment play our best football. There's no doubt that's the objective, that's the goal. That's what we're going to do everything within our power to do that against a team that is very, very talented, has a lot of really good football players, and they're very well-coached.
Q. Six games left. Knowing you have to win four of those to become bowl eligible, I know you go week by week, that has to be in the back of your mind. Offensively, you mentioned some possible schematic changes with Donaven. We saw Purdue over the weekend use a three quarterback rotation, which was odd. Can you expound on the potential differences we may see?
TOM ALLEN: Not too specific just because for obvious reasons. But at the same time, yeah, to me you got to do everything you can do to be able to maximize this opportunity in front of us against Ohio State. Whatever we got to do to be able to help us score points, how many quarterbacks we use, how we use them, how we scheme things, design things, has to be with that objective in mind.
There's no question we understand the big picture, but the bottom line is it's total, absolute, 100% focus on what we got ahead of us. This is the biggest game of the season because it's the next one. Just happens to be against Ohio State.
Obviously we know who they are, what they have done in the past. But we're playing the Ohio State team that's on this field in 2021. That's the group we're attacking, that's the film we're studying. It's a great opportunity, great challenge, one I expect our team to be fully prepared for.
Q. Back to Donaven. You said you're not going to give updates on Mike. Especially when you sort of evaluate Donaven's role, do you almost put yourself in a position where you think you have to be prepared for Mike to be out for a more extended period of time, therefore we have to look at a young guy like Donaven and get him ready rather than maybe thinking protecting him?
TOM ALLEN: Yeah, because I really do. Being honest in the fact that we don't know the length of time. When you don't know… We've been told it could be shorter, could be longer. We don't know that right now. It truly is week to week.
I think because of that, knowing he is the number two, he is the next guy in the game if something happens to Jack, you have to prepare him as such. To me you have to have a long-term mindset with that, how we scheme, develop things. Not think we're still going to try to protect him for those four games. To me you take that out of your head and you just assume that would be the case. If Michael is back sooner, that's great.
At the same time he has to have that mindset. We want him to have that mindset. That's the way we're approaching it. We want to make sure he's ready. We're also doing things to him allow him to be successful on the field, gain reps, get that valuable experience, also in a way to help us find a way to score points and win games.
Q. You mentioned Noah earlier. He was a guy that played a lot of safety. What told you in the first place you could move him over there and what is the transition for him, what's made him good?
TOM ALLEN: With Noah?
Q. Yes.
TOM ALLEN: I just think the first quality that stuck out to me for him, like I say, was his competitive toughness. He's got a very good football mind. He's able to play multiple positions. That's what's allowed us to move him around.
Some guys you move them from one position to another, it takes too long for them to pick things up. He's not that way. Has a really high football IQ, understands the game, anticipates. What he might lack in size, he makes up for in toughness. Very good tackler. You saw that on Saturday.
Tough kid, physically tough, strong, showed up on special teams all last year. To me that's always a great indicator of how well they're going to play if they're a young guy in our defense moving forward.
I think if a guy like Maurice Freeman that's a true freshman right now. We're going to find more ways to get him involved on special teams. A guy like that that shows up in practice, when you go live, just has a knack to make plays. That's how Noah was.
We're always trying to find — we had those corners in front of him that were pretty good players. You are like, Okay, let's move him to where we have a chance to get him on the field. We had him at husky position, he has played safety position, does things on third down.
He came here as a corner out of high school. Hey, now when those guys were out, we had to move him back to corner. Josh is the same thing. He was a guy that came here as a corner, moved him to safety. He's a guy you could move back to corner if you had to for certain situations. You try to get as many corners as you can, and the guys that outgrow that position, move to safety.
That cover skill set that you like, the toughness it takes to play that position, they got the size to grow into safety, that often happens. In recruiting that's what you're trying to do that helps you with your flexibility of your positions. When things like this happen, you got a guy you can move around.
The nickel position, what we call a husky, falls in line. Kind of a bigger, thicker corner, that allows things we're trying to do. That's where it helps you as a football team defensively.
Q. You've talked about Donaven's role a bit. He played three snaps in the first half. What was the plan you initially had for him in the game? As the game progressed, how did that seem to change?
TOM ALLEN: Yeah, I would say as you go through the feel of the game, just kind of — obviously the tightness of the game creates a certain type of situation you have for a young guy like that.
But, yeah, I'd like to see him play more. I know we will. I really do believe that. Just kind of grow him as a player. He was nervous. We talked about that yesterday. But now he's got that first snap out of the way, wasn't a very accurate throw, had a couple decent runs.
Just want to be able to do that, he's a quarterback, he can throw it, he can run it. That's what we wanted to see him do. To me, yeah, I expect that role to grow, the things we can do with him to expand each and every week, we'll see where it goes from there.
Q. You've had to face off against some of the top teams in the country already this year. Another one coming this week. Punch after punch. For you guys, most importantly for the players in the locker room, when those punches keep on coming, for you as the coach, how do you change their mindset to keep them fresh when it feels like you're taking these blows?
TOM ALLEN: You keep punching yourself. I think that's key. We're swinging hard. This team believes in what we're doing. There's a lot of toughness and character in that locker room. Yeah, they're hurting after that game Saturday, as well as myself and the whole coaching staff.
I will tell you what, there's a toughness to this group. It's got to start with us as leaders. Yeah, it's a bit hard, there's no doubt about it. Not what any of us expected or wanted. You find yourself in it, what are you going to do? That's where you keep on swinging. As you're swinging, you got to make adjustments, you got to go through and get things corrected and fixed, not just keep doing the same old thing.
At the same time when you talk about the team, that's where you draw on your leadership, the guys on this team. I went around to all the key guys after the game, after responsibilities with the media, talking with guys one on one, getting in their head. Same thing yesterday.
That's one thing I will say, you don't know obviously how the season is going to play itself out. We made a change where we went to Sunday as our off day to Monday as our off day. Thankful we did because I needed to be with this team the day after these close losses as they continue to put us in a tough spot. Just to be able to be in front of them, I think that's been critical, very important.
I've loved the way our guys have responded. Even they come in feeling a certain way in the early afternoon, I want them to leave when we're done at 7:00 that their mindset is where it needs to be. We had a chance to be with them, we have lifted, been on the field, meetings. Just got to pray for wisdom to be able to know how to say things to them to be able to.
When you know you're team, you're connected with them, that helps. At the same time this is tough. That's part of it. Our guys got a ton of grit. Grit is perseverance and passion towards a long-term goal. It's going to take a lot of that for this team to be able to stay together, keep fighting, playing our best each week.
Even when you fall short, you got to keep persevering, fighting, working together, staying together, keep believing, and just stay the course. That's what we're going to do. To me you just don't blink. Talk about it all the time. Earmuffs and blinders. Have to have them on heavily at this time and do not blink.
Q. We didn't get a chance to ask you about the two-point conversion you missed. Huge ramifications not being able to tie it up. Was it executed right, the kind of play you wanted?
TOM ALLEN: To me you had several options on the play. They brought pressure up the field. To me we got one of our polars got stuck on the tackle which allowed them to have an extra guy for the shuttle pass. You basically had several different things. Usually you want several different options.
Felt like Peyton Hendershot is a guy we're trying to find a way to get involved, get him the ball. He's a big guy, can lean forward, get tough yards. Don't have a lot of big, big backs.
At the same time, it wasn't executed to the level it needed to be to get in the end zone. You don't ever know what your going to call, they don't know what we're going to call. Something we had worked on and felt good about. Just got to execute it. Those plays are tough.
Most two-point plays, it's usually some kind of a pass. You don't really load up on the run on those. Usually a defensive minded person. You look at people as they do those things. You like to get pressure up the field. If that happens, you can dump it underneath and sneak in behind the guy and be able to get him in the end zone. Didn't execute it. That was huge.
Obviously we knew we needed to go for two. Had a plan. Talked about it way before the drive was going. When we score, make sure we go for two, to feel good about the call.
Once again, execution at a high level, critical times, that's how you win those close games.
Q. Childers and Ervin-Poindexter, how did they respond to their increased roles? What do you see them adding in the running game?
TOM ALLEN: They made some plays. Both had some solid runs Saturday that we needed. Opportunity has been presented to those guys, they've done some good things. Obviously they have to keep getting better, working, executing. They have to be able to pass protect, be able to pass the football, run the football, read their keys.
Especially Chris has done a good job of reading the keys and runs possibly. Davion at times has hit some good ones, gets a little bouncy, needs to stick to the reads. Just feel like that room where you obviously had to have guys step up. Still need some other young guys to continue to be brought along, whether it's David and Trent. Those two guys continue to work with the ones and twos. Keep rotating them in, let those guys develop as well.
Want to make sure I don't forget to give out our scout team players of the week. Those guys played a critical role. Defensive scout was Race Stewart, offensive scout team player of the week was Charlie Spegal, the special teams scout was Matt Hohlt. Three in-state guys that have come here from high schools here in Indiana, working extremely hard for us, helping us get ready. Excited for those guys' futures here.
Q. The Donaven decision and such. You as the keeper of this program, you have a long-term contract, you have goals for this team contending and winning Big Ten championships. How much thought went into the process of how much can Donaven help us contend for a Big Ten title in 2025 as opposed to how much he can help us right now? Is that factored in in any way?
TOM ALLEN: Well, it definitely is. I feel like first and foremost you have to say, Okay, can this individual help us win games right now? If he's in a position to do that, then that's what you need to do.
Bottom line is that situation occurred, we got one of our other quarterbacks on scholarship that tore his ACL in Dexter Williams last spring. He's not available. When Michael had his injury, that leaves you those two scholarship guys that are healthy. That's the position we're in, the situation we're in.
Other variables. That was the reason why initially the thought was to strategically use — we actually were going to use Donaven in the Idaho game. No, let's keep that to use those four games more judiciously moving forward where we may need him in the Big Ten game, to be able to give us whatever might be needed at that point.
But then when Michael went down, now he's the number two, you just got to say, Okay, you know what, in an ideal situation you like to be able to keep that redshirt, but at this point before we're at, that doesn't appear to be the case. We'll see what happens with Michael, how that all plays itself out. That could change in the short-term. As a mindset that we have, we just kind of say, Hey, we got to plan and get him ready, have a scheme and plan ready.
I do think, there's no doubt, a big picture view of everything we do here in recruiting and roster management, which has dramatically changed in the last couple years with how you view those things with the transfer portal, the way things are. It's a very different landscape than it used to be and continues to be on a consistent basis, daily basis. That's where you have to always be thinking about your current team, first and foremost, but also with the future in mind.
Q. Circling back to Noah Pierre. I think he's been around four years. I think this is probably the most we've seen him on defense obviously. He's a defensive player. What does a guy like that mean to your program at a time when obviously sort of ease of use of the transfer rules, a guy that sticks around, maybe sort of performs the way he did Saturday when he gets his opportunity? What does that mean for your program?
TOM ALLEN: It means a lot. It always meant a lot. Doing this a long time. A kid rewarded for persevering. He came here, he wanted to play. Especially after you're here for a couple years, you really want that. I think last year he accepted that role on special teams. Wanted a more expanded role, like they all do, but stayed the course.
We had a lot of good conversations. I don't know that it even dawned on him. We never had conversations where he was talking about… Some guys sat down and talked about things like that. Just trying to help them with their future, where we saw them in our program.
I think it speaks to his commitment of who we are, his belief in our program, him wanting to graduate from here, getting a degree from here, being able to finish what he started. I respect that so much. I know it's become a different mindset for some guys. Understandably so in some situations, I get that.
I just feel like it speaks volumes to him believing in us and what we're doing here, then just the value of a guy like that staying the course. All those reps that he was taking in the past, whether it was a backup or in spring football or fall camp, when he would probably get more of his reps, and now this is his moment to be able to step up at critical times to be able to make game-changing plays, just consistent plays.
I just appreciate him so much. That's why I recognized him yesterday. Had nine tackles in the game. Commended him for his perseverance and passion towards his long-term goal, which was to find a way to get on the field and help us win games.
Have a great day. LOE.


Contiguous narrow bands of hyperspectral images greatly increase computational complexity. Redundancy reduction is therefore necessary. Here, a minimum redundancy and maximum variance based unsupervised band selection methodology is proposed. Discrete wavelet transformation is applied on the data to reduce spatial redundancy without much effecting the overall band correlations. This in turn made the process more time efficient and noise resilient. Highly correlated bands are considered similar, and one with higher variance is accepted as being more discriminating. Finally, classification is performed with the selected bands and overall accuracy (OA) is calculated. The proposed method is compared with four other existing state-of-the-art methods in the similar field in terms of OA and execution time for evaluating the performance.

Despite these flashy numbers and also attributes, interest in Constant Contact appears to be on the decline, at least according to Google Trends. As Constant Contact themselves reiterate via their website, they are a tool for tiny businesses. The issue, these days, is that there are lots of other email devices supplying even extra than Constant Contact, and for a great deal less money. For the quantity you pay with Constant Contact, you can discover on your own using a lot a lot more effective devices such as ActiveCampaign and GetResponse.
ActiveCampaign has one of the most advanced automation systems we've ever before tried, and also it can not be compared to Constant Contact's simple strategy (it only features autoresponders).

If true (the default), the debugger is invoked when an error goes unhandled inside a task, i.e. when the handlers established by `task-handler-bind' (if any) do not handle it.
If false, unhandled errors from tasks are automatically transferred to their parent thread (and/or any dependent threads) via the `transfer-error' restart. This is for convenience — sometimes you wish to avoid N debugger popups arising from N errors in N worker threads.
The current kernel, or nil.
Default value of the `spin-count' argument to `make-kernel'.
See `kill-tasks'. Default value is `:default'.
When bound to `:low', the kernel schedules submitted tasks at low priority. Default value is `:default'.
Wait for current and pending tasks to complete, if any, then simultaneously execute the given task inside each worker. Wait until these tasks finish, then return the results in a vector.
Calling `broadcast-task' from inside a worker is an error.
Attempt to cancel a timeout. If successful, the channel passed to `submit-timeout' will receive `timeout-result'.
At most one call to `cancel-timeout' will succeed; others will be ignored. If the timeout has expired on its own then `cancel-timeout' will have no effect.
`cancel-timeout' is not available in ABCL.
`submit-timeout' and `cancel-timeout' are deprecated; use the new `:timeout' option in `try-receive-result'.
Ensures the value of `*kernel*' is a kernel instance. Provides the MAKE-KERNEL and STORE-VALUE restarts. Returns `*kernel*'.
Sets `*kernel*' to nil and ends all workers gracefully.
`end-kernel' should not be used as a substitute for properly waiting on tasks with `receive-result' or otherwise.
If `wait' is nil (the default) then `end-kernel' returns immediately. Workers are waited upon by a separate shutdown manager thread.
If `wait' is non-nil then `end-kernel' blocks until all workers are finished. No shutdown manager thread is created.
A list of the implementation-defined worker thread objects is returned. If `wait' is nil then the shutdown manager thread is also returned as the first element in the list.
Note that creating and destroying kernels is relatively expensive. A kernel typically exists for lifetime of the Lisp process. Having more than one kernel is fine — simply use `let' to bind a kernel instance to `*kernel*' when you need it. Use `kill-tasks' to terminate deadlocked or infinite looping tasks.
Equivalent to (invoke-restart 'transfer-error error).
This is a convenience function for use in `task-handler-bind'.
Return the bindings passed to `make-kernel'.
Return the context passed to `make-kernel'.
Return the name passed to `make-kernel'.
Return the number of workers in the current kernel.
If called from inside a worker, return the worker's assigned index, ranging from 0 to one less than (kernel-worker-count).
If not called from inside a worker, return nil.
This is an expensive function which should only be used in exceptional circumstances.
Every task has an associated task category. When a task is submitted, it is assigned the category of `*task-category*' which has a default value of `:default'.
`kill-tasks' interrupts running tasks whose category is `eql' to `task-category'. The corresponding worker threads are killed and replaced. Pending tasks are not affected.
If you don't know what to pass for `task-category' then you should probably pass `:default', though this may kill more tasks than you wish. Binding `*task-category*' around `submit-task' enables targeted task killing.
If `dry-run' is nil, the function returns the number of tasks killed.
If `dry-run' is non-nil then no tasks are killed. In this case the return value is the number of tasks that would have been killed if `dry-run' were nil.
`kill-tasks' is not available in ABCL.
Create a channel for submitting and receiving tasks. The current value of `*kernel*' is stored for use in `submit-task'.
By default there is no limit on the channel capacity. Passing a `fixed-capacity' keyword argument limits the capacity to the value passed.
Note that a fixed capacity channel may cause a deadlocked kernel if `receive-result' is not called a sufficient number of times.
Create a kernel with `worker-count' number of worker threads.
`name' is a string identifier for this kernel which is reported by `print-object'. Worker threads will also be given this name, shown in `bordeaux-threads:all-threads'.
`bindings' is an alist for establishing thread-local variables inside worker threads. By default workers will have *standard-output* and *error-output* bindings.
Dynamic context for each worker may be established with the function `context'. The argument passed to `context' is a function which must be funcalled. It begins the worker loop and will not return until the worker exits. The default value of `context' is #'funcall. The special variables in `bindings' are available inside the `context' function.
When a worker discovers that no tasks are available, `spin-count' is the number of task-searching iterations done by the worker before sleeping.
If `use-caller' is true (default is false) then in certain situations the calling thread may be enlisted to steal work from worker threads. This is an optimization strategy that currently applies only during the execution of functions defined by `defpun' and `defpun/type'. Typically in this case the number of workers will be one less than the number of cores/CPUs.
A kernel will not be garbage collected until `end-kernel' is called.
Remove a result from `channel'. If nothing is available the call will block until a result is received.
Submit a task through `channel' to the kernel stored in `channel'.
The difference is that `submit-timeout' does not occupy a worker thread.
A timeout object is returned, which may be passed to `cancel-timeout'.
Return a vector containing the task category currently running for each worker.
Like `handler-bind' but handles conditions signaled inside tasks that were created in `body'.
If `channel' has a result then remove it and return (values result t).
If no result is available and `timeout' is given, then wait up to `timeout' seconds for a result.
If the channel is empty and the timeout has expired, or if the channel is empty and no timeout was given, return (values nil nil).

Starlite Recovery Center
My insurance would not cover outpatient services; however, they did assist me in finding a half-way house to move into immediately upon discharge. I did not relapse. I highly recommend this facility and have referred several individuals and clients to Starlite. Starlite provided a life change, life saving experience for me. A doctor is regularly available, nursing staff is on hand and supportive, support staff is compassionate and kind, but professional and concerned. The counselors are enthusiastic about their role and take the time to address issues individually as they arise. I was stubborn at times and was not eager to comply completely at first, but my counselor and staff worked with me through the difficulties in the beginning and guided me through big groups, small groups and individual sessions to a new way of thinking. A chapel is available for spiritual needs, a work out room is on site as well as walking/running trails and beach volleyball court. Mediation/Relaxation was offered and every Saturday the facility held an "open meeting" where the public was invited for guest speakers. Outpatient is offered for those able to enroll after treatment and counselors are also active in recovery in the community of nearby Kerrville which offers numerous recovery meetings and houses. Amazing Experience.

Idea, Voda India complete merger of telecom business
Published : Sep 1, 2018, 12:13 am IST
Updated : Sep 1, 2018, 12:13 am IST
Vodafone has a right to appoint the CFO, and the two firms have together chosen Balesh Sharma as the CEO of the new firm.
Now, India has four major telecom players: Vodafone-Idea, Airtel, Reliance Jio and BSNL.
New Delhi: Idea Cellular and Vodafone said on Friday that they have completed the merger of their telecom operations in the country, creating India's largest telecom operator by subscribers and revenue.
The merged entity will have a subscriber base of over 408 million and a market share of over 35 per cent. It will have a pan India revenue market share of 32.2 per cent.
The new $23 billion Vodafone-Idea giant will depose Bharti Airtel — with its 350 million subscribers — as the top mobile firm.
The telecom sector has been seeing a wave of consolidation since the entry of Mukesh Ambani-led Jio in 2016 unleashed a tariff war which resulted in smaller players wrapping up their businesses.
Now, India has four major telecom players: Vodafone-Idea, Airtel, Reliance Jio and BSNL. State-owned telecom operator MTNL operates in Delhi and Mumbai circles.
The deal gives Vodafone India an implied enterprise value of Rs 82,800 crore and Idea an enterprise value of Rs 72,200 crore. Vodafone will own 45.1 per cent of the new business while the Aditya Birla Group will own 26 per cent after paying Rs 3,900 crore cash for a 4.9 per cent stake. The savings from the deal are estimated at Rs 14,000 crore.
The entity's board will have 12 directors, with Kumar Mangalam Birla as chairman and Balesh Sharma as CEO.
Himanshu Kapania has stepped down as MD of Idea Cellular, but will continue as a non-executive director on the merged entity's board.
Both Vodafone and Idea brands will continue to operate.
It will have a broadband network with over 3,40,000 broadband sites covering 840 million Indians and largest voice network with over 2,00,000 unique GSM sites to cover over 1.2 billion Indians (92 per cent population coverage). It will have a large spectrum portfolio of around 1850 MHz and a massive distribution reach with over 1.7 million retailers and around 15,000 branded stores.

Japanese dramas have a wide variety of genres and themes that it's almost impossible not to find something you'll like. There is something for everyone, including viewers who are not familiar with the Japanese culture. Drama, action, romance, comedy, horror, slice of life, sci-fi, crime - you name it, they have it. Some dramas have a very specific theme and have little storyline, which is the kind I've been fascinated with recently.
Here, I have put together a short list of unique Japanese dramas with very specific themes. I find these dramas unique because they are something I've never seen in my own country. If you are sick of watching shows with similar stories, you can try some of the dramas listed here. If you know other interesting Japanese dramas, feel free to comment below!
This drama is based on a popular manga series about a lone foodie named Inogashira Goro. There's nothing really unique about food dramas (there are actually a bunch of Japanese food dramas), but the reason it made to the list is because 70% of the episode is just Goro-san savouring his food. There is little storyline. In each episode, the pattern is always like this: Goro-san meets someone for business, he gets hungry, he chooses a restaurant, he eats, he is happy.
It's interesting that all the restaurants that Goro visits are real. We get a glimpse of the Japanese restaurant culture. We get to see our hero trying out different dishes, of which most of them we haven't seen before. I always end up getting hungry after watching him eat. At the end of each episode, the address of the restaurant is flashed on the screen. We also get to see the manga creator going to the same restaurants and eating different set of dishes. Kodoku no Gurume is a light-hearted drama that is strangely entertaining to watch even with Goro just eating most of the time.
Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san is another food drama based on manga. Koisumi-san is a beautiful transfer student who doesn't interact with anyone. She spends most of her time listening to music. Yu, her classmate, likes beautiful girls. When she sees Koizumi queueing at a ramen shop, it piques her curiosity and decides to follow her. Yu learns that Koizumi is a ramen master, and her cold facade entirely changes when she eats ramen. After slurping the last drop of ramen soup, Koizumi would look up and give a big strange smile with an equally strange sigh of satisfaction. Yu is determined to see that smile again, so she starts following her since then. In the process, Yu starts enjoying ramen too.
Dandy is a story about Ichiro, a recently promoted employee who overhears a conversation among his subordinates, including the new girl he has a crush on. He learns that his crush likes dandy men. According to Wikipedia, dandy is "a man who places particular importance upon physical appearance, refined language, and leisurely hobbies, pursued with the appearance of nonchalance in a cult of self." From then on, Ichiro is determined to become dandy to impress the new girl.
While having dinner in a restaurant, Ichiro sees an advertisement of a mysterious store selling "dandy" items. Needless to say, he takes a look at the store.
The store is not a typical one. In fact, Ichiro seems to be the only customer. A woman appears from behind the counter and introduces very "dandy" yet expensive items to Ichiro. Her introduction is always lengthy and in-depth, and covers more than half of the episode. It's quite different from most J-dramas and surprisingly, quite educational.
Each episode is about a different item. Every episode is like this: Ichiro feels insecure about a certain not-so-dandy possession, he visits the mysterious store, the woman introduces her products, he picks one item and burns a hole in his wallet, he shows off his new acquisition the next day, his crush notices it and comments how dandy he is, and he makes a happy dance when the crush leaves.
I've watched all of the shows mentioned in your article. The first two from the list felt bizarre to me (at least at first), but I actually enjoyed them very much. In fact, food shows have become one of my favorite genres.
Yup, me too. I was expecting for a story, but after watching the next few episodes, I realized that it would just be eating for the rest of the show. It was unexpectedly entertaining to watch.
Hmm.... When I read this I was thinking "how could they make a whole series on such a limited topic?" Then I thought about some North American series like Duck Dynasty and Container Wars and your Japanese ones actually sound better!
I guess shows about food are always interesting, though I think these series won't work if not for the great cast, so props to the actors.


UnitNumber.com is committed to providing you with products that suit your needs. Check out our ordering guidelines below to learn the important signage specifications to consider so we can give you products that satisfy your requirements.
How many numbers are in your sequence? There is space provided on the order form to enter up to 5 different sizes, as well as space to enter numbering sequence(s).
To determine the size of your signs, we recommend determining what size the number or letter is necessary at a particular distance, and then, how many digits (maximum number) will be in your sequence. For example: a 2" digit can easily be read from 50 feet, and if you have 4 digits in your sign, you'll need about a 3" x 6" unit number. Keep in mind that a 2" high character is about 1¼" - 1½" wide.
Click here to see our standard colors.
Holes. We can drill holes so signs can be installed with screws or rivets - please specify the size (5/32" holes will be drilled if not specified). 12¢ for 2 holes and 20¢ for 4 holes.
Adhesive Tape. We can apply a strong two-way adhesive on the back of each unit number—simply peel and stick. Not recommended for all applications—please inquire. Adhesive Backing: 8¢ per square inch.
Plain. You can purchase several adhesives at your local hardware store that will work great for most doors or walls. We recommend silicone adhesive available in caulk tubes. You may want to hold the sign(s) in place with a small piece of masking tape while the adhesive dries.
Be sure to specify if dashes, spaces or leading zeroes are to be used. (i.e. "A1" or "A-1" or "A 1" or "A001") If you already have your sequence in an electronic file (Excel spreadsheet, Word document, text file, or tab delimited), just email us the file! If not, please fax us a typed or neatly printed sequence.
At UnitNumber.com, we are dedicated to producing the highest quality products that fit the needs of our clients.

Talk about organ donation: Avril Carter
Cornea donations continue late husband's legacy
Avril Carter, from Ruthin, is encouraging people to speak to their loved ones about tissue donation.
Avril's husband John was 62 years-old when he began suffering from an inability to swallow. He was diagnosed with stage 2 oesophageal cancer in May 2014.
He was in remission for 3 years, but in July 2017, John began losing weight and had days when he had no energy.
After tests and treatment at the UHW (University Hospital of Wales), John was transferred to the Marie Curie Hospice, Cardiff and the Vale in Penarth for end of life care.
Avril said:
"As a family, we've always been passionate about giving back. John wholeheartedly believed in helping others through organ donation, so when he learnt that the cancer had eliminated his chance of donating his internal organs, he asked about his options. He was a professional cameraman and loved photography, so his sight was particularly important to him. That's why he decided that he wanted to donate his corneas.
"The hospice pledged to raise awareness of corneal donation amongst patients receiving end of life care and is encouraging everyone to talk about their decision with their loved ones.
"When I look back on endorsing John's decision to go ahead with donation, I knew it was the right decision. I think it is important talking to those close to you so that they understand your decision for the future."
Your organ donation decision shouldn't be a guessing game
Make a decision, register it, tell your family.


SNOWMASS – Steady snowfall and high winds Friday, and a forecast for more precipitation over the weekend likely means the recovery mission for a man claimed by an avalanche Tuesday won't occur until the middle of next week, Pitkin County Sheriff Joe DiSalvo said Friday.
Sheriff's officials met Friday morning with members of Mountain Rescue Aspen and made the call to put off the recovery effort of Brandon John Zukoff, 26, of Snowmass Village.
Zukoff, a native of Grand Blanc, Mich., was an avid backcountry skier. He died when he triggered an avalanche while skiing Sand's Chute off the west side of Snowmass ski area. He was with two companions – one skied safely down the chute first, and the third one picked a new route after the slide caught Zukoff.
Three members of MRA and Brian McCall, local forecaster with the Colorado Avalanche Information Center, tried to retrieve the body Thursday. But the second of two bomb-triggered avalanches re-covered the body with snow and moved it as well.
DiSalvo said officials believe the body is within a 600-square-foot area.
"There's a lot of good reason for us not to be up there now," he said.


The total footballer. Physically outstanding, he was, more importantly, endowed with exquisite skills. The play that Petit offered Real Madrid allowed the Whites to take a huge leap in quality. His elegance and vision of play made him an idol to Madrid's fans.
He joined the club's youth teams in 1914 together with his brother Juan. Soon he earned himself a spot on the first team, and Real Madrid was once again fighting for all the titles in play. During his second season with the club the Frenchman won the Spanish Cup, in a very memorable final against Arenas de Guecho. When all seemed lost Petit scored an extraordinary goal that put the team back into the game. Ricardo Alvarez scored the decider.
The Frenchman continued his career with Real Union, where he won three other cup titles. With his national side he participated in the Antwerp Olympic Games, were they were eliminated in the semi-finals. Oddly enough, in that tournament Spain won the silver medal.
After retirement, on occasion of the Golden Jubilee (1952), Petit received from Santiago Bernabéu the club's Gold and Diamond Insignia. It was a way of honouring who many consider Real Madrid's first great star. Died on 14 October 1989.
