Capitol Hill festival denied permit for 2nd day - but it might just happen anyway - Friday, June 10, 2016 - Volume 44 Issue 24

More Pride than Seattle can handle?
Capitol Hill festival denied permit for 2nd day - but it might just happen anyway
How much Pride is too much Pride? The City of Seattle, in particular the Office of Economic Development, recently found itself having to ponder an answer to that question when the organizers of the Capitol Hill Pride Festival requested permits to expand their annual Saturday street fair event on Broadway to Pride Sunday. Going from one day to two, with the second day falling on the same day as downtown's behemoth Seattle Pride Parade (the fourth largest in the nation) and the equally massive Seattle Center event, PrideFest (the largest outdoor free Pride festival in the nation), is literally too much Pride for the city to handle in terms of resources, say officials.
In short, Pride Sunday strains city resources already. So an expansion is out of the question.
'Due to a number of different major events the weekend of June 26th, and factoring in available Seattle Police Department staff resources, it isn't feasible to accommodate a second day for the Capitol Hill Pride Festival this year,' Joe Mirabella, director of communications for the Seattle Office of Economic Development and Office of Film and Music, said in a statement to the Capitol Hill Seattle (CHS) Blog. 'Consequently, Seattle's Special Events Committee declined the Capitol Hill Pride Festival organizers' request to add a second festival day, Sunday, June 26th.'
According to Mirabella, the festival organizers appealed the decision but were recently notified that the denial was upheld.
'The decision to decline the additional day does not affect the historical Saturday Capitol Hill Pride Festival event date, which will occur on Saturday, June 25th,' Mirabella clarified.
The 2016 Seattle Dyke March, which shares Broadway with the festival on Saturday night, will continue as planned, as it is not affected by the street fair's permit issues. Dykes on Bikes is scheduled to lead the march this year.
Organizers Charlotte LeFevre and Philip Lipson, who used to operate the Seattle Museum of Mysteries on Broadway, said that despite the denial of an expansion permit for Sunday, the festival will 'go forward with Sunday,' 'unpermitted or not.'
According to LeFevre, permit applications were submitted to the Seattle Office of Film and Music and the Special Events Committee in February, but she didn't receive the denial of a second day until May 13.
'And to not get any response back for five months and to get something back with less than 45 days left is unfair,' she told Capitol Hill Times.
But LeFevre was told by Seattle's Special Events Committee that she must work with area businesses to secure approval for the second day of the festival, according to the special events committee's chairman, Chris Swenson. They ultimately denied the permit request.
Swenson says the committee also denied Capitol Pride Festival's request to close off Broadway and East Roy Street, citing concerns about access to public transit.
According to officials, 'The proposed additional closure on Broadway Avenue East would eliminate the only suitable location for the temporary re-route of Metro Route 60, which would result in service interruption to Chinatown/ID, Beacon Hill, Georgetown, and South Park.'
According to LeFevre, the Capitol Hill Pride Festival was created when Seattle Pride moved from the neighborhood to downtown. The festival is well attended.
LeFevre said she made her case to the Special Events Committee several years ago that there is an underlying civil rights cause for the festival and that there should be no barriers to people assembling for it, even for more than a day. Although she says many events, such as the Capitol Hill Block Party, are allotted more than a day, LeFevre seems to forget just how big Seattle's Pride Parade is and the fact that city resources are also used at PrideFest, which, if her permits were approved, would happen simultaneously. Also, while people could theoretically attend both the parade and the festival on Broadway, in reality most people would feel as though they would be forced to make a decision as to which one they would attend. The request to expand also asks the bigger question, 'Is it really needed?'
LeFevre says yes.
'You don't have to be marching in a march with your fist in the air,' she said. 'Yes, we have restaurants and booths and vendors, but it's being out in your community, it's being out of the bars, it's being in public.'
That argument is all well and good except for the fact that the Seattle Pride Parade and PrideFest are also out of the bars, in public, and outside. They are also free of any admission charge. Additionally, LeFevre often talks about the Broadway event as a civil rights cause but the reality is it is an outdoor street festival in which organizers charge for booth rentals - not a march for civil rights. There is a big, distinguishable difference between the two. Capitol Hill Pride Festival is a great event and does provide some level of visibility for the LGBTQ community. Seattle Gay News in no way opposes it. However, the use of the LGBTQ equality movement as a reason why the organizers should be allowed to expand the festival is not something that should be taken lightly by the community.
Case in point: if you go to the Capitol Hill Pride Festival website (www.capitolhillpridefestival.info) you will see that organizers are using the slogan 'Stonewall, Never Forget!' But the festival's official 2016 theme is 'Wizard of Oz - Because there is no place like Home! Get your Wicked On! Get ready for two days of fun! Six blocks on Broadway of food, vendors and entertainment!' Again, what does Stonewall have to do with any of that?
Last year, Capitol Hill Pride Festival added a Broadway parade and rally despite the lack of support and an unanswered call by LeFevre to SPD that they add officers to the East Precinct shift that night to help protect people at the festival and during the march and rally. When SPD denied that request, due in part to sending resources to a barbeque event in which SPD was engaging with the public in a positive way, she protested their presence in Cal Anderson Park and demanded that they not be allowed to hold their event during the same time as the Capitol Hill Pride Festival, citing (of all reasons) that Stonewall was a police riot. Seattle Gay News did not take a position on the matter because, again, this is between a festival organizer and a city department. But to once again summon Stonewall as if it has anything to remotely do with a request by festival organizers for more police protection - and then to protest their presence in a public park after their request is denied - is a stretch.
LeFevre received notice Monday that a meeting will be set with Swenson to discuss if there is any way to make the Capitol Hill Pride Festival extension feasible. She told Capitol Hill Times that if they don't reach an agreement about extending the festival, there is talk of a sit-in on Saturday night, adding organizers will not pull barricades from the street as long as people are still there, arguing they have a responsibility to ensure participants' safety.
LeFevre said she feels city departments are 'playing favorites' with Seattle Pride, which used to hold its annual parade in Capitol Hill. Again, that just doesn't add up. The Pride Parade is 10 times the size of her event and takes up many more resources - and, in fact, there are many other outdoor, free, Pride events held on Capitol Hill that give the LGBTQ community visibility and that are all inclusive.

Volunteer Park Pride Festival

The time has come to finish the Kettlebell Circuit series. Today I show you the last two exercises you need for having a full body kettlebell workout that you can perform once or twice per week.
Just add them to the previous exercises from the last kettlebell circuit posts. Try to do three sets with the mentioned reps without a rest between the eight exercises (30 sec - 1 min rest between the sets).
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and pick up the kettlebell as described in the other exercises (only difference: grasp the handle at its outer edges).
- Now circle the weight counterclockwise to the left rear (slightly above hip level) in the biggest possible circle (hold the weight with your left hand only). Your arms should be almost straight during the motion.
-When the kettlebell arrives behind your back, continue the motion to the right and hand it over to the right hand.
- Now circle the weight to the front again (remember: the whole movement is flowing).
- In front of you (at the middle) hand the weight over again to your left hand and continue with the next rep.
- You should intercept the kinetic energy after the 10th circle by smoothly following the circle motion with your body until the weight stopped (one body rotation should last). Now change the direction of the motion.
-Hold the kettlebell upside down in front of you (with your arms bent) and perform a regular full squat (keep your back straight and your knees behind your toes all the time).
-Take care that the weight is carried mainly through your heels and that your thighs are at least parallel to the ground in the bottom position.
Now that you have a guideline for a full body kettlebell circuit, I hope some of you will give it a try and I hope you like the series.

Antique Theatre of Aspendos (Half Day)
"This is not like anything that I ever saw before." This is how the British archaeologist David George Hogarth had described the Aspendos Theatre in 1909 in a paragraph which continues as follows: "You may have seen the amphitheaters in Italy, France, Dalmatia and Africa; temples in Egypt and Greece; the palaces in Crete; you may be sated with antiquity or scornful of it. But you have not seen the theatre of Aspendos."
This description is still valid today, because the site of Aspendos houses the best preserved ancient theatre of the world. In addition, this richly decorated monument bears the traces of different historic periods including the Roman and the Seljuk periods. It was initially built during the reign of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, between 160-180 A.D. Built into a steep hillside and big enough to host 15.000 people, this vast semicircular edifice was used to stage plays in second century A.D. It's perfect acoustics means that it is still used today for operas and ballet festivals. After visiting the amphitheater you can experience the amazing engineering of the city's high aqueduct near the Eurymedon River.
Price per Person 20.-€ (includes transfers, guide and all entrance fees)

In Android 4.0 and above Multi-tasking is a bit different. It also works a bit better. Today we are going to show you how you can easily switch between apps on your Android device. Now we've got a video below for you, but there is something I forgot to mention in there. On stock Android devices, like the Nexus, you use the recents button which is on the right side to get to your recent apps. On the Galaxy S3 in the video, I just held down the home button to get there.
So it's pretty easy to multi-task in Android 4.0 and above, I might even say its better. Although there is that slight lag with multi-tasking on Sense 4+ devices, unfortunately. This completes our Guide for Switching from iPhone to Android. If there's anything we forgot or should add to the guide, please let us know in the comments below and we'll be sure to add it.

League City Oil & Gas Drilling Encroaches on Houston
by Kenneth E. DuBose on August 8, 2011
League City is close to updating its oil & gas drilling regulations due to proposed drilling within the city limits. While Houston is the oil & gas industry capital of the world, the city's urban areas have gone largely untouched compared to those in Pennsylvania and just up I-45 in Dallas-Fort Worth. That is set to change with recent developments. Forza Operating plans to drill wells in city limits and drilling ordinances have become a hot topic. The debate centers around required setbacks from buildings. Currently, League City requires a 300-350 ft setback, but that is likely to be increased to 600-1,000 ft. In a city dominated by energy, it will be interesting to hear the final verdict.
Forza Operatings development plans are in addition to Denbury Resources' plan to rejuvenate the Hastings Field South of Houston. Denbury has been planning its Hastings Area development for several years, but once operations begin in earnest it will bring greater visibility of the industry in Houston. The company will be drilling and re-completing old oil wells to begin a CO2 enhanced recovery project that is expected to coax hundreds of millions of barrels to the surface.
At Tuesday's city council meeting, the new regulations will come up for a second vote, but still undecided is the contentious matter of how far back an oil or natural gas well must be from homes, schools, water wells and other structures.
The current regulations include a 300- to 350-foot setback for most buildings. At the last city council meeting, members were divided about whether that distance should be increased to 600 feet or 1,000 feet.
City staff was asked to come back with clearer definitions of what buildings should be included in the setbacks and what that distance should be.

Baton Rouge, La. – Bruce T. Murphy was unanimously named the fifth president of Nicholls State University today by the Board of Supervisors for the University of Louisiana System. Currently serving as Vice President for Academic Affairs at Air University in Alabama, Murphy will officially take the helm at Nicholls in mid-January.
"We've got the Colonels for the Colonels," said UL System Board Member Jimmie "Beau" Martin who made the motion to appoint Murphy.
Both President-Elect Murphy and his wife, Jeanne Picariello Murphy, are retired from the U.S. Army. They earned the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel, respectively. The Colonel is Nicholls State's mascot.
During his interview with the board, Murphy detailed his goals for the university including establishing relationships, conducting a thorough academic program review, and growing enrollment and the university's mission of serving the region and beyond.
"The role of the president is to facilitate the dreams of all the different constituencies: the students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community. You have to learn what those dreams are, then you have to get the financial resources to enable them. You have to tell the Nicholls story," said Murphy.
UL System President Sandra Woodley praised Murphy's extensive experience in leadership roles. "He has a unique blend of higher education leadership and military experience. I expect we will see great things from his presidency," she said.
Prior to his current position at Air University, Murphy served as the Founding Dean of the School of Business at Point Park University in Pittsburgh. He was also Founding Director of the Graduate Program in Organizational Leadership and Chair of the Walker School of Business at Mercyhurst College in Pennsylvania. He taught military science at Vanderbilt University and leadership at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Altogether, he spent 21 years in military service.
Nicholls President Stephen T. Hulbert, who led the university for a decade, formally retired from the university on Aug. 1. His second in command, Lawrence W. Howell, currently serves as the Interim President.

Q: How do I call Delphi functions in a bpl from an executable? I have a Delphi application that I have written a fairly simple wrapper .exe for.
Basically, there was a dll that had a bunch of functions, one of which I would call iteratively once my wrapper did what it needed to. I am not in control of this dll file, and will never be.
Well, now this DLL is a BPL, and I'm not sure how to call functions within that file. Thanks in advance.

A: A BPL is just a DLL with a few specific additions to it.  You should have no trouble calling functions from it just like you did with the DLL, with one specific caveat:  The BPL has to be built in the same version of Delphi as you're using.  This can be a major drawback if you don't have the source code.  If this is a problem for you, you should probably talk with whoever created it and ask them to make it back into a DLL.

A: The easy way to use functions from a package is to "use" the unit that contains the function, call it as usual, and put the package on the list of your project's runtime packages. For that to work, there are a few requirements:

*

*Your project must use the same Delphi version as was used to compile the package.

*You must have access to the DCU file for the unit, or at least the DCP file for the package.

*The package must exist in the operating system's search path when your program starts.

If you can't satisfy the third requirement, or if you don't want to have the package loaded all the time, then you can call LoadPackage for it instead. The way to make that work is to have another package that is loaded all the time. It will be used by both your project and the package you wish to load. The intermediate package will expose an interface (such as some registration functions, a variable, or a class) that the main package can use to tell the application what its functions are. You won't be able to "use" the main package's unit in your application directly.
If you can't satisfy the first two requirements, then there is the much harder way, which is also what you'd need to do if your application isn't written in Delphi or C++ Builder. Treat the package like an ordinary DLL. Load it with LoadLibrary. Use GetProcAddress to load its Initialize function, and then call it. (Remember that the calling convention is register, not stdcall.) Then load the address of the function you wish to call, keeping in mind that the name of the function has been mangled to include some unit and type information. Call the Finalize function before you call FreeLibrary. Check the source for LoadPackage and UnloadPackage; whether you need to call CheckForDuplicateUnits probably depends on whether you can satisfy requirement number 1.

A: A BPL can eliminate a lot of DLL problems. If you can statically link it, the border becomes all but transparent. If you have to load it dynamically, you need one DLL-style access function  (usually one that returns an object or an interface) and some common type (interface) definitions. All that should be supplied by the maker of the BPL.


Baldwin Technology has acquired LED UV leader AMS to lead consolidation in the sector.
Baldwin has bought LED UV specialist AMS, a deal which links its own conventional UV expertise with the increasingly popular LED alternative.
Baldwin will revive the Spectral brand, the Slough company which was a pioneer of the assisted drying technology, making the new operation AMS Spectral UV. It will be headed by Steve Metcalf, CEO of AMS. Pat Keogh, one of the leaders (terminology used by Baldwin's owner Barry-Wehmiller for its managers) of the new business comes from the Baldwin side.
He explains that the existing alliances will continue. Baldwin worked closely with Komori in development of H-UV, using adapted conventional UV lamps, and has an ink partnership with Toyo. AMS has worked with KBA in supplying LED UV for new presses and with Flint on matching ink technology.
"As Baldwin we have supplied LED in Japan, but cannot push it because of our association with Komori, while AMS have done an incredible job in the market place with LED.
There are forecasts that demand for LED UV will create a $1 billion market over the next five years. And there are signs that demand for LED UV curing is expanding beyond litho and inkjet printing into more industrial markets.
Baldwin, as part of a fast developing corporation, has the resources to exploit the new opportunity which AMS as a private company could not. Baldwin is also perhaps more associated with blanket washing and fount systems than drying technology, hence the decision to recall the Spectral name as part of the expanded operation, says Barry-Wehmiller.
An immediate growth area is in drying for water based corrugated printing which is rapidly adopting direct to board four-colour printing. The challenge is to have the boards dry before they reach the die cutting section. Inkjet printing provides another opportunity for IR drying technology.
The acquisition of AMS provides Baldwin with across the board expertise in different styles of UV and IR drying and the opportunity to build on this will press manufacturers.

Q: How can we make SO reputation more realistic How can we make reputation a reflection of trust rather than how many ambiguous, argumentative, and general questions you can answer/ask before the mods notice?
Look at any high reputation person, yes they certainly answer a lot of questions very well, but if you look at the things that actually generate their badges and reputation I can guarantee that they're almost all questions that are generic, argumentative, or horribly subjective.
I realize that this is in itself probably in the category that I speak of. But I posted a question that I was actually passionate about but it was closed for being argumentative. People even continued to favorite it after it was closed but that doesn't matter really.
So what are the common thoughts about this? Does anyone even agree with me about this or is this just the rant of every newbie to the site?

A: How can we make reputation a reflection of trust?
You can't.
Reputation only shows how much the community has upvoted a person's contributions to the site.  Yes, questions that are subjective, argumentative, or close to being argumentative, are going to get more community voting than regular questions.
But rep does not, and cannot, mean anything more than that.
Just like real life, the celebrities that have a good bit of showmanship and know how to rouse the rabble are going to receive more attention in the community than everyone else.
There are exceptions, of course.
The real question is - why does it matter?  Why should we change rep to mean something more substantial?
Reputation is NOTHING more than an INCENTIVE to contribute.
That's all it was ever meant to be - an artificial 'scoreboard' so people would always have some drive to contribute to the site without being paid for their work.
It does exactly what it's meant to do.
If you change how the scoreboard is measured, you fundamentally change the direction of the website and how people game it.  This may or may not be a good thing, but the effect must be taken into account.  The reality is that even if you change the metric to measure 'trust' it still have to measure things that can be gamed, and thus must necessarily become detached from 'trust' over time anyway.

A:
Look at any high reputation person, yes they certainly answer a lot of questions very well, but if you look at the things that actually generate their badges and reputation I can guarantee that they're almost all questions that are generic, argumentative, or horribly subjective.

Please back this generic, argumentative, and horribly subjective statement up with some evidence.

A: Make people pay real money for answers.  Oh, wait -- that's the other site.

A: Wow. Can we have a special badge for unsupported, sweeping, generalizations? One that comes with, oh, a rep of -500?
For a counterexample, feel free to look at my track record on so.com. I'm over 2k. My rep is disproportionately from a few popular answers to specific, not wildly obscure, technical, questions. I don't claim to understand why some of these answers piled up 10-15 votes. I'd hazard a generalization that relatively pithy, accurate, answers to medium-simple questions get rewarded -- perhaps because those questions are likely to be searched for over and over. But I don't really know what the voters were thinking.
I suppose that there are people out there farming rep on marginal, soon-to-be-Wiki questions.
I don't care.
The case in which I could imagine this mattering to anything except ego is if someone abuses the editorial powers gained from ill-gotten rep. Something tells me that this would lead pretty speedily to an account reset.
None of us are going to Valhalla based on our StackOverflow reps. A few might get job offers.
Best I can tell, most of us do this due to a compulsion to be helpful, a suspicion that others might return the favor when we get stuck, and, oh well, a bit of intellectual peacockery. But there's a big difference between strutting a bit and getting all hot and bothered over the legitimacy of other people's feathers.

A: Make rep earned from community wiki questions go away, even if the answer was there prior to its wikification.

A: Speak for yourself.
I've answered loads of questions that get either 15 rep or 25 rep.  They're the hard ones to answer.  Sometimes the OP is so low on rep that they can't upvote, so it's only worth 15.
Sometimes it's just a drive-by posting and the person never returns.  That one's worth zippo.
I try to answer C# questions, but get Skeeted every time I try.
Any rep that I gain on the occasional question that I can FGITW that everyone happens to know the answer so they can upvote it, is payback for built-up karma from the table-scrap questions, as far as I'm concerned.

A: Perhaps one answer is to delete the community wiki feature. It seems to me that anything that is a community wiki is almost guaranteed to be contentious or overly generic. Certainly it's something that doesn't have one answer. As it is CW made me think that making something CW would allow me to ask more generic questions like the one linked above, but that's not true at all.
But I also thought that according to the FAQ I wouldn't gain or lose rep by asking a CW question, this is also not true. That question is to this day both my highest rep gaining and highest rep losing post.

Q: Is every point contained in a proper open set of a topological space? Let $X$ be a topological space. Let $a\in X$. Is it always true that $a$ is contained in a proper open set of $X$? I don't know how to derive it directly by the axioms of a topological space.

A: No. Indeed, the "trivial topology" in which only the empty set and the full space are open, is a valid topology. It's not very interesting, but it does satisfy the axioms.

A: No, this need not be the case: if $X$ is a set and $p \in X$ then the following defines a topology on $X$ (th excluded point topology w.r.t. $p$):
$$\mathcal{T}= \{A \subseteq X: p \notin A\} \cup \{X\}$$
It's easy to check this satisfies the axioms of a topology. And it's also clear that the only open set that contains $p$ is $X$ itself.
But very often additional assumptions on $X$ exist, e.g. $T_1$ (for every pair $x \neq y$ of points in $X$ there is an open set $O$ such that $x \in O$, and $y \notin O$. This guarantees that there are enough open sets so that every point is contained in a proper open set. The above example is merely $T_0$, not $T_1$. Where $T_0$ means that for every $x \neq y$ we have an open set $O$ such that ($x \in O$ and $y \notin O$) or ($x \notin O$ and $y \in O$), which does hold as one of the $x$ or $y$ is unequal to $p$ (say $x$) and we then use $O=\{x\}$. So $T_0$ does not guarantee this property, and the stronger $T_1$ does. So if you desire such a property for a space $X$, assume such "separation axioms" on it.

There are hundreds of refugee children stranded in NYC right now.
photo credit: @MarkLevineNYC on Twitter
Ever since the news of immigrant families being separated at the borders - children taken from their parents and parents from their children - has permeated the headlines, we have been consumed with these stories.
As owners of a business that serves families, but more importantly, as parents, we have tried to understand, if possible, on even the smallest level, what these refugee families seeking asylum must be going through. We have tried to visualize our own families at a border crossing being torn from each other and our reactions to that sudden and brutal separation. But this exercise only lasts 10 - 15 seconds because it is unimaginable for a sustained length of time. If the mere thought of having our children taken from us (and them being further separated from each other) with no way to be in touch and no information of where they are or how they are doing is too much to tolerate - what can the reality possibly be like?
A friend forwarded us a newsletter from New York City Council Member, Mark Levine. His office was collecting donations (clothes, diapers, toys) for the children stranded in NYC – many of them completely alone and thousands of miles away from their parents or from anyone they know. We started looking to his office for updates. The response to their original call for material donations was incredible. They are now in the next stage of assistance. We are passing on this information for those who are also looking for a way to support the children.
Needed most now -- financial donations for the non-profits that are currently caring for the children.

Contributions to one of the organizations providing legal and social service support to these children…
The Northern Manhattan Coalition for Immigrant Rights: offering legal defense for families seeking asylum or facing deportation
The Legal Aid Society: providing deportation defense and other immigration legal services to unaccompanied minors, adults with children, and other vulnerable individuals
The Safe Passage Project: an immigrant legal services program for unaccompanied minors and refugee children separated from their parents.
The Door: providing unaccompanied adolescent migrants in NYC with housing and other social services
Kids in Need of Defense: works to ensure no child appears in immigration court without an attorney.
The New York Immigration Coalition: advocating for immigrant rights in NYC and nationally.
Make the Road New York: a grassroots immigrant advocacy organization that's been deeply engaged in fighting against the family separation policy.
There are volunteer opportunities to help sort the original call for donations.
You can sign up for a volunteer shift here.
The foster agencies are all in need of financial contributions, Spanish-speaking foster parents, and a limited number of general volunteers (for security reasons and to protect the safety of the children, the organizations need time to vet foster parents and volunteers, as such, responses may take some time).

PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail has described her husband Anwar Ibrahim's imprisonment as a "sacrifice for the future of the country".
Speaking to reporters after the Federal Court upheld his conviction and five-year prison sentence this afternoon, she said the family now hopes to find strength "in the people".
"What Anwar says is to be strong, this is a sacrifice for the future of this country," she stressed.
"Anwar said that you can imprison him, but he will go with his head held high.
"We have to bear through this, we have tears," she added.
She noted that any decision on the next course of action and about Pakatan Rakyat's future leader would be made by the opposition bloc collectively.
Anwar was the PKR de facto leader and Pakatan's parliamentary opposition leader until his imprisonment.
Meanwhile, Anwar's eldest daughter Nurul Izzah Anwar said that the family would leave the matter to the "people's court".
"(It is) up to the people to overthrow the government through peaceful means - through the elections.
"We feel emboldened. Yes we are sad, we are devastated, but we will continue the struggle," she added.


Conducting regular appraisals and identifying objectives to your colleagues are key to preventing poor performance in the workplace.
Key steps to improving performance involve finding the cause of the performance levels and setting clear targets for employees to achieve.
When it becomes apparent that an employee is not performing to the standard required, is it vital to act on this as quickly as possible and establish the root cause for the poor performance.
Each of the above factors requires different remedial actions thus emphasising the importance of correctly identifying the cause of underperforming.
However, when the performance management process breaks down, what steps should you take? The key is to identify the root cause then – only then will you be able to decide what steps are required to improve the performance.
In order to identify the cause of poor performance, performance measures have to be carried out in advance and the employee is to be informed and understand what is required of them.
Pre-set targets which are realistic and achievable, enabling the employer to determine whether the employee is achieving the standard expected of them.
Clear targets can be set to your colleagues in order to correct the poor performance.
Hold an informal meeting with the employee where you are able to outline the areas where their performance is in decline and agree targets with an expected time achievement.
Review the performance at an agreed date and determine the progress. If there has been a significant improvement then no further action should be necessary. If there has been some improvement, then the employer can identify focus areas which need improving and set a further review date.
In the case that there has been no significant improvement, the appropriate penalty will vary with the relevant disciplinary procedure but its strongly recommended that dismissal for a first occurrence is inappropriate. To ensure fairness of dismissal in these circumstances the employer must demonstrate that they were given sufficient opportunity to improve.
Sales managers play a crucial role to the success of their team - they influence and set the tone, culture and expectations of the work environment.

Manuel Soler i Camillo (Lleida 1 de gener de 1862 - Palma Soriano 1895) fou un metge pràctic i humanitari. Tot i que neix a Lleida, passa la seva infantesa a Manresa on cursa l'ensenyament secundari. El 1875 se'n va a Barcelona a estudiar Medicina i es llicencia el 1881. Un cop opté el títol de metge, exerceix a Maldà durant dos anys, fins que el 1884, quan té 24 anys, torna a Manresa.

Són nombrosos els documents que donen fe de la seva gran tasca com a facultatiu de beneficència alhora que proven el seu gran candor humà. Durant molt temps, va visitar gratuïtament els pobres de la ciutat, a més a més fou un metge amb considerable prestigi local, en els aspectes assitencials i humans.

Manuel Soler elaborà un quadre demogràfic de l'epidèmia de còlera del 1885 a la ciutat de Manresa, un dels primers que apareix a les llibreries de la ciutat. El ressò del treball de Soler i Camillo és tan gran que arribà a Cadis, on és premiat i felicitat. També, el 1890, el seu treball de Demografia i Climatologia és guardonat amb accèssit per la Reial Acadèmia de Medicina de Cadis.

El 1891, és nomenat metge auxiliar de l'Administració de Justícia i Penitenciària del Jutjat de Manresa i exerceix com a metge forense.

Soler va ser un defensor de la vacunació anticolèrica de Jaume Ferran. De fet, va ser col·laborador de Ferran en el seu treball de vacunació a València. Soler pretenia adquirir experiència per poder-la aplicar a Manresa. Però, el governador civil va disposar que la vacuna només la pogués utilitzar Ferran.

Veteran Mobile App Marketers Launch Grow Mobile, A Way To Systematically Get Users
Kim-Mai Cutler	8 years
Although it still seems opaque, the top mobile game companies have honed the art of spending millions of dollars per month to bring in new users through ad networks and dozens of other channels over the past few years.
Now a couple of veterans in this space are launching a platform that should make it easy for any app maker — brands and game developers alike — to acquire users. Co-founded by Zynga's former head of mobile marketing A.J. Yeakel, Storm8's former head of business development Brendan Lyall and Ming-Lei Xu, who sold Wild Needle to Zynga, Grow Mobile is a dashboard that incorporates about 75 different marketing channels from ad networks to cross-promotion networks and other exchanges.
It makes it easy for app makers to see which ones perform the best.
"This would have been amazing if both of us had this at our respective companies before," Lyall said. "We each put in our own personal touches in what we wanted in the product."
There's a media planner that helps developers choose the best ways to get traffic based on their historical performance, a campaign wizard that makes it easier to syndicate campaigns without a lot of hands-on involvement and user retention and monetization reporting that shows where the most highly engaged users come from. Then there's lifetime value reporting, which tells a developer how profitable users might be as long as they use an app.
There are basic app-rankings reports for how an app does on the charts in Google Play or the Apple App Store, basic analytics on where users come from geographically and what types of devices and OSes they use. Then there's cohort ROI reporting, which tells a developer how much they've spent versus how well a group of users who joined at a certain time did in engagement and spending.
Lyall says that while there are similar tools for web-based performance marketing from companies like Adobe and Marin Software, the mobile ecosystem is way more fragmented.
"Your average mobile advertiser has a budget that is spread across north of 30 different sources," Lyall said.
The company, which has raised a $1 million seed round from Signia Venture Partners and Bessemer, had about 16 companies in its beta. They included bigger buyers like GREE, Zynga and K-Lab. Lyall said one publicly traded company managed its entire budget on the Grow Mobile platform.
The 11-person startup takes a small percentage of spend every month. That percentage declines as the spending volume increases. Grow Mobile declined to share its rate card.
"Once you scale into the multiple millions of dollars per month, we go down to a single-digit percentage of spend," Lyall said. "What we're trying to do is to make it so easy that it's like a no-brainer. If a company likes our solution, they would just allocate more of their spend through us instead of hiring a larger team."
