Hearst invests into training and education of employees with Hearst Data U
Jessica Patterson @jesspatterson
1st Jul 2019
After years of shrinking budgets for training and cuts to personal development across the magazine and news media industries, there are signs that companies are making training and education of staff a priority again. Last month, The New York Times announced it had open-sourced its data skills course for reporters, and made it accessible to all.
US-based Hearst Magazines is among the vanguard investing in its people and providing opportunities for education and training. Recently, it launched Hearst Data University (HDU), a collection of courses and educational initiatives aimed at supporting its employees' data fluency, in partnership with New Jersey Institute of Technology. The first Hearst Data University session launched April 28, 2019 and was taught by Dr. Jorge Fresneda Fernandez.
"There are several reasons why we decided to create Hearst Data University," explained Sam Gladis, executive director of ad product marketing at Hearst Magazines, who worked closely with Michael Smith, Hearst's chief data officer on HDU. "Data has become a priority for the magazine media industry. It is informing not just Hearst's go-to market strategy and ad product offerings, but informing the company's business in a much more significant and pervasive way than it has in the past," she said.

"While the majority of our employees have a grasp on data and have been working with data for some time, we want to make sure we are supporting them and their success by creating tools that will continue to educate them on the topic," she said. "It's important that we have a resource that helps them understand how key components of data as both a concept and as a practice fits into our larger business."
Courses are for employees at all levels, across departments at Hearst. They aim to give employees a consistent and comprehensive understanding of how data drives the magazine media business forward and how it can help drive Hearst's client's business forward through the product and capabilities that the company creates, she said.
The courses, which include data fundamentals, data privacy, data visualisation and identifying and creating and targeting audiences, took a year to come together. "The original concept was born out of consistent inquiries that we were getting as a leadership team, about different components of data," Gladis said. "We worked with NJIT to develop the courses, to make sure that the way they're structured is conducive to an educational environment."
Course offerings are rolling, and are based upon what Gladis and her team are hearing and questions they're fielding. She says she's also working on identifying topics that are coming down the pipes to help inform the curriculum, and developing a new suite of additional courses to add to the line up.
Hearst Data University courses are taught at Hearst Tower by an NJIT instructor. Courses are approximately three hours each and qualify for IAB credit. "We worked with NJIT to help develop the courses, to make sure that the way they're structured is conducive to an educational environment."
Hearst Magazines' chief content officer Kate Lewis will speak about 'magazine journalism' in 2020 at the FIPP World Media Congress, taking place from 12-14 November in Las Vegas. Discounted summer ticket rates are available until 24 July.
Meet more than 800 leading players from the global media industry under one roof during three days of learning, sharing and networking.

These courses are limited in terms of attendance. Gladis said every course that has been offered so far has been completely booked. For example, there are over 100 employees, from executive assistants to publishers, registered for the data fundamentals course.
"We're trying to keep every course to 20 people so that we can ensure interaction and engagement, so we can better ensure that folks feel like they're in an environment where they can ask any question that they might have," Gladis said. "The courses are 100 per cent voluntary. They're open to everyone at every level from every discipline across the organisation."
"We're really trying to make this information accessible, universal, and comprehensive, and then we'll just continue to offer as many classes as we need to ensure that everyone who's interested has a chance to participate."
Gladis anticipates Hearst Data University courses will be of interest to hundreds of employees, and is working on how to ensure that employees in Hearst's global market and Hearst-owned companies can participate. "I imagine we'll be working on courses to do with augmented reality, artificial intelligence, using this as a framework to continue to provide expansive and comprehensive continuing knowledge, education, and support around the topics that are impacting our industry and our business," Gladis said.
Investing in human capital in this way is of benefit for publishers. Making education and training a priority means employees walk away with new inspiration, new ideas and an improved skillset, which will only serve to move the business forward. "I think it's important that everyone in the company has reliable access to comprehensive, up-to-date information on topics that are directly impacting our industry and our business at any given time," Gladis said.

Hannah Williams is head of digital content for BBC Good Food, an Immediate Media-owned brand with a 30 year old legacy in print and digital. Here, she talks to us about the publication's successful first steps into the world of voice.
Will 'paying' for attention pay?
As publishers try to make sense of the 'attention economy', there's a slow drift towards building revenue models around rewarding users for their attention. Not in currency, but rather in decluttering their online experience from advertising. Is this the middle ground between paywalls that lock away quality content and the mishmash of trying to broaden reach with free content?

And I think this indicates a significant problem with the film, already, before I've even begun to discuss what it's doing/how it does it. That is, the potential effectiveness of any issue documentary for which there isn't (meaningful) disagreement and that is truly intended to incite activism for a widely-known, but hitherto insufficiently addressed, problem. The director (and star of the film, frankly) states the problem early on when he says, in a typical talking-head commentary, "We're on that tipping point now where it's either too late, or just the beginning, of a movement." So how does Psihoyos propose to propel this possible movement forward?
Racing Extinction begins with footage of a sting operation perpetrated by Psihoyos and his crew on the fine dining establishment Hump, which had been illegally serving blue whale, an endangered species. They sent in diners with hidden cameras, whose footage and samples of the dishes provided the fuel for a newsmedia expose, which, however, failed to force Hump to close. Here already we see the problem with what was once a powerful tool for activism: though the surreptitiously collected footage was shocking enough to hold the media's attention for a day or two, it failed to create a lasting, powerful movement. The documentary goes on to show how a protest in front of the restaurant similarly failed; but when a screen expert put up a large projected image of the whale, and stood in front of it declaiming the restaurant's action, finally, they successfully forced its closure.
Psihoyos states, as do other activists in the film, whose adventures provide much of the narrative material, and if you're interested in activist photography this is probably interesting to hear, that images can be a weapon, a tool for revealing and defeating injustice. These statements combined with the use of a swelling, dramatic score demonstrate the filmmakers' belief in the usefulness of emotional appeal for gaining believers and fighters. And it's their intent to repeat, on a wider scale, the success the saw in the case of Hump.
But there are two significant problems with the film's execution of these goals. First, the subject shifts between various species, environments, and, more significantly, causes, focusing mainly on commercial fishing but addressing greenhouse emissions, particularly from livestock farming, fossil-fuel dependence and the resultant oil spills and other environmental damage, and more. As one of the interviewees says, we can't single out any of these causes, we have to "attack it on all fronts." Thus the documentary is forced to touch upon the various human-derived dangers for wildlife without depth, which would be required to develop emotional effect.
Secondly, the aesthetics of Racing Extinction are simply too bland to achieve any lasting change. Between the Williams-esque soundtrack, the sweeping, dramatically-angled visuals, and the insanely clear and colorful and expensive, produced-looking footage, the film looks and feels like a very well-made iPad or electric car commercial. Some people cry over these commercials. But do those people even go out and buy the product advertised?
In this, the age of the wide dissemination of ISIS videos and graphic torture reports on your local Barnes & Noble bookshelf, the issue documentary is facing an important impasse regarding the effectiveness of emotional appeal via the image. Take such a documentary whose usefulness as a tool for recruiting pedestrian participants has been considered fairly successful: Earthlings (dir. Shaun Monson, 2005). The film's crude editing and snuff-esque onslaught of gruesome animal-abuse-footage, with its handheld and DIY-aesthetics, has apparently found a wide, reactive and now-politically-committed audience. Whether you applaud such efforts, the message for message-film directors is clear.
Having illustrated some generally-known but still-not-effective information regarding humanity's role in the devastation of a hell of a lot of our planet, Racing Extinction acknowledges the overwhelmingly vast and multi-pronged causes of which its viewers know they take part. It concludes with title cards, ending on "Find your thing," i.e. select a thing to commit to doing to do your part, hardly a new message, and, worst of all, "#Startwith1thing." Here is the documentary as explicit marketing tool, whose sincerity and apparent naivety surely will not be missed by the kids, with their hashtags and their viral media.
CONCLUSION: Racing Extinction is an outdated, over-produced and unfocused issue documentary whose worthwhile goals are buried in unremarkable, forgettable execution.

The Arctic: a New "Oil Rush" that Jeopardizes the Environmental and Political Status Quo
The smallest ocean on earth (although it is bigger than Russia) could be a goldmine in terms of fossil fuels extraction. What was considered before as a sterile area of ice is now envied by the arctic countries sharing the ocean. United States, Canada, Denmark (through Greenland), Norway and Russia are now competing to get access to the resources buried under the icecap.
Indeed, with the ice melting induced by global warming, new sources of fuels can be reached. According to the US Geological Survey, 1.669 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, 44 billion barrels of natural gas and 90 billion barrels of oil are available under the ice cap. Henceforth, global warming is increasingly seen as an asset for energy companies. The most powerful ones are thus competing in that region to get in control of the larger share of territory, and exploration missions are led by European (BP, Shell, Eni and Total), American (Exxon Mobil) and Russian companies (Rosneft and Gazprom). However, most of the fuel resources are situated in the coastal regions of Siberia and belong to Russia: according to the survey, Russia totalizes 80% of the oil resources and almost all the natural gas available in the region. Moreover, the presence of fuel basins in the international waters arise the problem of jurisdiction: should we consider this area as the "common heritage of mankind" or try to settle an agreement between the arctic countries to share it? The claims of those countries to expand their regional waters have already led to territorial disputes, with nine legal disputes currently opened.
Nevertheless, since 2015, Canada and Alaska have banned oil extraction along their shore. Those measures were taken in consequences of first, the environmental threat that oil and gas extractions represent in this area compared to the benefits it produces and, second, to ensure security and stability in the region. The arctic zone is increasingly transforming into a new ground for the extraction of fossil fuels to the detriment of the environment, as the growing interventions in the region will obviously participate to the melting of the ice and jeopardize the current ecosystem. Alongside this issue, the disputes that occur between the arctic states are a threat to the region's peace and stability.

Passage: Johnny Ramone, 55
Ramone, who died following a five-year battle with prostate cancer, co-founded The Ramones in 1974 in New York along with singer Joey Ramone, bassist DeeDee Ramone and drummer Tommy Ramone, who is the only surviving member of the original band. All four band members had different last names, but took the common name Ramone. Johnny Ramone, born John Cummings, was the hard-driving guitarist of the punk rock band which, while influential in the business, never achieved great commercial success. The Ramones entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.

Why Velma Is the Internet's New Punching Bag
The show's got cred and lots of viewers, yet it's still in the social media crosshairs. Blame the character's legacy.


You can take your child on a wonderful journey just by wandering up the street, as child development expert Gill Connell explains.
Anyone who has tried to walk down the street (or even just up the driveway to the mailbox) with a toddler will know how easily they can be distracted by things we would never have noticed: leaves, scurrying ants and even interesting sticks are endlessly fascinating to them.
For babies and children the world is a magical wonderland just waiting to be discovered and they learn so much through their physical interactions with it. Once little ones begin to move around and explore their environment their brains take in sensory information, organising it through new neural pathways then storing it in memory for future reference.
As parents, there are lots of great ways to facilitate these learning experiences and to join in each time your child sets off on a voyage of discovery. A simple walk in the sunshine, for instance, can be so much more than just fresh air and a change of scene.
There is nothing more attractive and comforting to your child than the sound of a familiar voice. When you lend your voice to new sights and sounds you're encouraging him to take it all in and begin to feel at one with the world around him.
You can talk about whatever you see – the warm sunshine, the tall trees, the beautiful flowers, and the white fences that line the pathways. Sure, these details may be old news to you, but to your child they are new and amazing and you have become his personal tour guide. You may even discover something new when you see the world through his eyes.
Whenever you can, take your child out of the stroller and put his other senses to work: touch the tree bark, smell the flowers, listen to the leaves rustle, lie down and feel the cool tickle of the blades of grass. Take his shoes and socks off and explore the sand pit, splash in the puddles, climb up hills (and when he's old enough, roll back down).
Support him as he walks along the low fences or cracks in the footpath. Collect leaves, rocks, sticks, petals, pine cones and anything else Mother Nature has left for you to find. Study them and then explore where these treasures came from.
And talk about it all. Repeat the words that describe what he's seeing, hearing, smelling, and touching. While they may just be sounds to him at first, your words are the building blocks he needs to help him find his own words some day, while he's figuring out what his world is made of. Learning new vocabulary happens best when he physically associates his world with the words he is hearing.
And remember, no matter how beautiful the scenery, you are his favourite thing to look at. Spend as much 'face time' as you can, because when he's watching the movement of your lips and facial expressions he's learning vital social cues about human communication and will try to mimic your actions. Not only will this give him a terrific word-filled, multi-sensory experience, it gives both of you a chance to spend some time in the sunshine... face to face!
For this game, pick a theme that requires your child to employ his senses. For instance, "What is rough?" Now, let's take a walk.
If it's safe and free of sharp objects, you may also like to go barefoot so he learns, through his skin, what rough feels like.
Rub the treasures you find gently on his feet and if he is older have him stand on one foot (supporting his weight) and help him roll things under his bare foot. Swap feet, so both get to feel "rough".
There are huge benefits for your child when you enable and participate in their play time. Brainwave Trust educator Miriam McCaleb shares some insights about the best ways to get involved.
When the weather's good it's time to take it outside. Gather a few things from the cupboard, spread out the rug; then sit back and watch baby get busy.

Q: OOP and Inheritance in Flash Good day,
I have a MovieClip in the Library called "Pic".
Then I drag 4 instances of "Pic" from Library to the stage, and set their instance names "p1" to "p4".
I have coded a superclass called "Pic.as" and 4 subclasses "P1.as" to "P4.as", that each of them extends "Pic.as"
Now the question is how should I Link those 4 subclasses to those 4 instances of "Pic" on the stage - P1 to P4 - when there is only 1 MovieClip in the Library that is "Pic"?
Thanks for your time

A: If you share your code's we can understand what you need and help for it.

Daves Projects: Update of "router problems"
I have two routers for various reasons.
Zyxel P660HW T1 This has excellent ADSL performance on my long phone line. Its main defect is that it periodically goes to sleep for roughly 3 minutes, stopping all network connections resulting in failed downloads, web page loading failures, etc.
Netgear DG834G v5. This is very stable except for one problem. Every day between 1700 and 1900 hours it repeatedly retrains the ADSL link every couple of minutes, resulting in failed downloads, etc. I don't have a rational explanation as to why the fault is time related. It could be a neighbour using a mobile phone causing interference to the phone line, but I really don't know.
If it were possible to combine the best features of these two models you would have a very fine product.

Q: Loop construction in Processing artistic rendition The code is from here:

t=0
draw=_=>{t||createCanvas(W = 720,W)
t+=.01
B=blendMode
colorMode(HSB)
B(BLEND)
background(0,.1)
B(ADD)
for(y = 0; y < W; y += 7)
  for(x = 0; x < W; x+=7)
    dist(x, y, H = 360, H) +
      !fill(x * y % 360, W, W,
            T=tan(noise(x, y) * 9 + t))
         < sin(atan2(y - H, x - H) * 2.5 + 84)**8 * 200 + 130?
circle(x, y + 30, 4/T) : 0}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/p5.js/1.5.0/p5.js"></script>

I see that t is increased by 0.01 each iteration, but I am unsure whether for each t value the entire canvas is refreshed, or whether there is an endpoint somewhat set by :0}. Is this correct?
It also seems like there is a Boolean call in the middle basically comparing two distances to determine which circles are filled and how. If the < was instead > the circles would form a complementary pattern on the rendition.
The ! is explained here, as a way of saving space and calling a function as soon as it is declared. I presume it determines how points are filled with a certain variable color scheme depending on the Boolean operation result. The +!fill() is unfamiliar, as well as the ? at the end, and I guess that they amount to: if the x, y location is within the boundary of the star the circles are colored (filled) as such, but the negation in '!' is confusing.
Can I get an English explanation of the main structural points on this code (the loop and the Boolean) to match the syntax?

I have so far gathered that the basic loop is
for(y from 0 to the width of the canvas at increments of 7)
  for(x from... )
check if the distance from (x , y) to 360 is less than sin()^8 * 200 + 130
  If so fill (or not fill with the ! ????) with these colors
otherwise do nothing :0

A: The main issue is the +! with ? and :0, which is terribly confusing, but clearly it is equivalent to
t=0
draw=_=>{t||createCanvas(W = 720,W)
t+=.01
B=blendMode
colorMode(HSB)
B(BLEND)
background(0,.1)
B(ADD)
for(y = 0; y < W; y += 7)
  for(x = 0; x < W; x+=7)
    if(dist(x, y, H = 360, H) < sin(atan2(y - H, x - H) * 2.5 + 84)**8 * 200 + 130){
fill(x * y % 360, W, W,
            T=tan(noise(x, y) * 9 + t))
circle(x, y + 30, 4/T)}else{0}}

The Boolean in the ? applies to the dist() part (in absolute values the angle has to be less than sin()... + 130.
The + part I still don't understand, and hopefully will be addressed by someone who knows Processing or JS (not me). However, it probably forces the execution to identify and throw out with regards to filling (hence !) values that are too low for the sin(atan2()), which will happen at around 0 and pi.
Because of arctan2() being (here)

the number of spikes in the star will be a multiple of 5 going from 0 to 2 pi. The fact that changing the code to < sin(2 * atan2(...)... doubles the spikes implies that the fill() part is also in Boolean operation of its own.
The result of the Boolean determines whether the colorful fill is applied or not (applied if less than).
The :0 at the end is the else do nothing.

A: This is what it might look like if it were written normally

let t = 0;
const W = 720;
// https://p5js.org/reference/#/p5/draw
// `draw` needs to be in the global scope so p5 can use it
draw = () => {
  // create a canvas if this is the first frame
  if (!t) createCanvas(W, W);
  t += 0.01;
  // Use HSB and blending to do the fancy effects
  // The black circles are because we're ignoring stroke and so using its defaults
  // The blending will eventually hide it anyway
  colorMode(HSB);
  blendMode(BLEND);
  background(0, 0.1);
  blendMode(ADD);
  // iterate over 7px grid
  for(y = 0; y < W; y += 7) {
    for(x = 0; x < W; x += 7) {
      // center
      const H = 360;
      // distance from center
      const D = dist(x, y, H, H);
      // pick an alpha based on location and time
      const T = tan(noise(x, y) * 9 + t);
      // set fill color
      fill(x * y % 360, W, W, T);

1. What are restoration glasses and how do they compare to normal window glass?
SCHOTT restoration glasses are specifically designed to offer accurate glazing solutions for historical buildings according to their date of origin. They offer the typical surface characteristics of different historical eras that can be integrated into the modern day requirements for insulated and laminated safety glasses.
Compared to normal window glass, SCHOTT Restoration Glass offers state of the art technology in a historically correct design.
2. What colour are SCHOTT Restoration Glasses?
SCHOTT Restoration Glasses are colourless and particularly low in iron oxide. They are therefore highly pure and do not have the "green tint" typically found in conventional float glass. SCHOTT restoration glass has a high transmission of visible light making it ideal for glazing buildings where naturally bright internal conditions are important.
3. What are the differences between the different SCHOTT restoration glasses?
SCHOTT restoration glass has the typical tensile strength of the manufacturing process. In addition, they are - depending on the product - more or less distorted.
SCHOTT recommends a sample of at least 500 mm x 500 mm sample glass for the correct glass selection. Please evaluate the optics in the reflection (external view) and in the transmission (internal view).
4. How are SCHOTT Restoration Glasses manufactured?
SCHOTT Restoration Glasses are manufactured using the traditional Fourcault process. The glass is drawn vertically upwards from the liquid melt through a nozzle via a drawing shaft. At the end of the drawing shaft, the glass is cut to sheet size.
Certain variations in surface structures are also possible and permissible within a product/plate.
5. What does tensile strength mean?
By vertically pulling the glass mass through the nozzle, the glass becomes distorted in parallel to the direction of drawing. When viewing through the glass, this distortion is more noticeable if the glass is installed vertically as opposed to horizontally. Sampling is also recommended here.
6. Does SCHOTT restoration glasses have bubbles, knots, stones or similar?
Such glass characteristics are possible due to the melting conditions and are permissible within certain specifications. However, they do not protrude from the glass surface.
7. What are the maximum dimensions?
SCHOTT Restoration Glass can be manufactured up to a length of 2,900mm and is therefore suitable for many buildings from the gothic revival period, Victorian era, Edwardian era right through to art deco and postmodern architecture.
GOETHEGLAS is a colorless, drawn glass with the irregular surface finish of window glass common to the 18th and 19th centuries. It can also be used as exterior protective glass; for example, to protect highly valued leaded glazing from the elements and other adverse environmental conditions.
RESTOVER® resembles the window glass manufactured at the turn of the century. Its minimal thickness enables easy installation into historical window frames and fittings. RESTOVER® plus and RESTOVER® light provide different grades of surface finishes to resemble traditionally blown glass.
TIKANA® glass is particularly suited to buildings of the Bauhaus style. Its slightly irregular surface finish harmonizes with buildings from the classical modernist period. Like the other SCHOTT restoration glasses, TIKANA® provides an historical look combined with modern day building requirements.
In addition, SCHOTT restoration glass is suitable for the glazing of historical showcases and furniture as well as for the production of historical mirrors.
1. What must be considered when cutting the glasses?
Machine-drawn glass has a higher residual cooling stress and greater distortion than float glass due to the manufacturing process. The cutting must therefore be carried out with an expansion cut and under consideration of certain cutting wheel angles and cutting pressures.
2. Is thermal tempering possible?
SCHOTT Restoration Glasses can be thermally tempered. Our application technology department will be happy to assist you with detailed questions. Click here to open our contact form.
3. Is it possible to produce laminated glass?
Processing to laminated glass using conventional PVB films is possible. A thicker film is required to compensate for thickness variations. If a counter pane of float glass is used, the optical impression of the restoration glass diminishes when viewed through. We recommend sampling. If special UV or IR filter films are used for lamination, SCHOTT restoration glass is ideal for glazing museums or sacral buildings with increased lighting requirements in connection with monument protection. Soundproofing foils contribute to the reduction of noise pollution in buildings.
4. Can restoration glass be used for insulating glass?
Insulating glass can be produced using restoration glass. As a rule, the outer pane of the insulating glass is designed as a restoration glass, the inner pane is made of white glass or float glass, if necessary with a thermal insulation coating. Selected restoration glass can also be provided with direct sun protection layers to improve thermal insulation in summer. If 4 mm wide spacers are used in insulating glass, insulating glass with a total thickness of approx. 10 mm can be built.
5. Are there specifications and structural approvals for SCHOTT restoration glass?
The physical, chemical and technical properties of all SCHOTT restoration glass are described in the specifications.
In addition, all SCHOTT restoration glass has the European Technical Approval ETA-12/0159 of the German Institute for Construction Technology, i.e. depending on the thickness of the glass, it can be easily processed into standard construction products such as ESG, laminated safety glass and insulating glass and placed on the market without bureaucracy.

Tag: Food Policy
From Local Food Actions to Systems Change: Experiments in Social Movement Governance through the National Food Policy in Canada
By Charles Z. Levkoe and Amanda Wilson
Over the past decade place-based alternative food initiatives have had a range of successes in their aims to promote healthy, equitable and sustainable food systems. More recently, these initiatives have become part of diverse networks that connect a range of actors across sectors, scales and places. Many of these movements in Canada have adopted a vision and goal of food sovereignty that aims to put control of food systems in the hands of communities and to change the dominant power structures of food systems, based on the experiences of farmers, fisherfolk and Indigenous peoples. Despite a growing interest in food networks, little attention has been given to how these movements engage with governments to scale-up experiences and learnings from local projects to impact related policy while also maintaining goals of social, ecological and economic justice.
In our chapter, "Policy Engagement as Prefiguration: Experiments in Food Policy Governance through the National Food Policy Dialogue in Canada", in Civil Society and Social Movements in Food System Governance, we explore the efforts of social movement organizations to promote empowerment and food systems transformation through engagement in government-led policy making processes. We ask how social movements can advance food policy, while also modeling alternative food futures through processes of policy engagement. We pay particular attention to the ways that different aims of organizations coexist, teasing out the tensions, possibilities and the overall complexity of their interactions.
To illustrate these opportunities, we draw on a case study that examines the engagement of a diversity of social movement organizations in the development of a Food Policy for Canada between May and September 2017. Initiated by the Federal Government, the Food Policy for Canada consultation period included the participation of a wide range of different stakeholders to establish a national vision for the health, environmental, social, and economic goals related to food. Both in response, and alongside this policy consultation process, Food Secure Canada (FSC), a pan-Canadian food movement alliance, led a series of activities involving more than 70 member and partnering organizations in an attempt to model participatory food governance and strengthen the capacity of Canadian food movements.
Representatives of food movement organizations pose with then Minister of Agriculture and Agrifoods Lawrence MacAulay following the Ottawa Food Summit June 2017
We draw on the concept of prefiguration (i.e. putting into practice the desired future in the present) to explore how food movement organizations negotiate and maneuver within the complex terrain of government-led policy building, simultaneously being grounded in current realities while working to create alternative food futures. Using this perspective, the end goal is not whether policy was affected, but a focus on the processes of collective action. Our research uses primary document analysis, participant observation and reflects on our personal experiences being involved in this work.
We argue that social movement networks have an ability to prefigure collaborative processes of engagement to advance policy change while strengthening social relationships, deepening their knowledge and advancing collective strategies for change. Our findings show that, while FSC and its partners attempted to prefigure grassroots, democratic processes that embedded social and ecological justice into policy, this process was at times complicated by limited resources, conflicting ideals and power dynamics at play. Despite efforts to the contrary, these kinds of activities risk limiting a more radical and visionary politics by pressuring social movement actors to prioritize language and approaches that fit within pre-existing government frameworks and are most easily translated into policy. However, participants were under no illusions that a government-led food policy making process would be transformed into a tool to achieve food sovereignty, rather they saw the policy-building process as a strategic opportunity to address both short and long-term challenges in Canada's food system.

Traversing Theory & Practice and the Governance Engagement Continuum
Searching for Fit? Institution Building and Local Action for Food System Change in Dunedin, New Zealand
Cooperative Governance and a New Narrative on Agrarianism in Calgary, Alberta
By Philippa Mackay and Sean Connelly
Food system change is complex and multifaceted. From the global to the local, concerns about health, the environment, social justice and economic development reflect diverse priorities for food system change. While this diversity provides multiple opportunities to draw on a range of expertise and resources, it also highlights the critical role of governance in navigating competing priorities and resolving tensions. Food governance is about processes and structures of power and control around decision-making. Decisions made will influence the allocation of resources, prioritization of values, and the approaches that are taken to achieve particular outcomes. The chapter "Searching for Fit? Institution Building and Local Action for Food System Change" in, Civil Society and Social Movements in Food System Governance, discusses the evolving process of local food governance. In doing so, we highlight an example of how diverse stakeholders are involved in shaping priorities and processes of food system change.
The case study in this chapter is set in the small city of Dunedin, located on the South Island of New Zealand (NZ). In Dunedin, two co-evolving food system networks (one derived from civil society, the other from local government) have emerged. Concerns about the food system has resulted in multiple food initiatives to address environmental issues, food poverty, and community building. These responses have brought diverse efforts together in a systemic way.
Timeline of activities leading to the development of Our Food Network Dunedin and Good Food Dunedin.
Our Food Network Dunedin (OFN) is a self-described grassroots organisation dedicated to stimulating the production, distribution, and consumption of local food, and in that way, contribute to building a resilience and prosperous community. The local government network, Good Food Dunedin (GFD) was initiated following the successful lobbying by OFN and others, to create a part-time position within the Dunedin City Council (DCC) dedicated to addressing issues of food resilience . The council-led food network became a formal platform to bring together diverse stakeholder who share a vision of transforming Dunedin into a thriving and sustainable food city.
The emergence of these two food networks reflect different perspectives and illustrate the challenge of attempting to collectively frame issues and advocate for solutions. For example, GFD focused on framing the problem and solutions of food through an economic and resilience lens, as this was the only way Council involvement could be justified. OFN was concerned about this overly economic focus since their primary motivation and core values are rooted in local food as a driver for bringing people and groups together to enhance local food production and consumption. Compromises were necessary by both network groups to determine the way that food system issues were framed, and various initiative supported in response. Additionally, other food system actors held the perception that these networks offered limited room to discuss food values outside of local or resilient food systems, such as food-related social justice issues. Despite these differences, local food governance has been legitimized both within local government and in the broader community as a result of the process to formally introduce alternative food initiatives into the Council's agenda.
Food system governance in Dunedin has evolved from what was once a relatively small collection of diverse food initiatives to a more formalized network of food system actors that have firmly placed food on the public agenda through the formation of GFD. Civil society and local government relationships have been reshaped, and the creation of the formal platform for decision-making has led to positive relationships that have increased access to resources and empowered local communities to make decisions on food system change. The potential of linking these efforts to broader social movements in the city, or to reflect other framings of food system problems, such as social justice or providing for cultural food system practises, has not yet materialized. It is clear however, that the process and newly formed structures of power that have been institutionalised in local governance mechanisms, are now set up to address complex and multi-faceted food system issues more formally into the future.

Sustain ON tries to engage politicians with varying success
By Harrison Runtz
This past summer I had the privilege of working with Sustain Ontario, a non-governmental organization that works on connecting the needs/policy asks of different stakeholders in Ontario's food networks. Sustain Ontario's main goal is to transform our provincial food systems into more sustainable, community-oriented forms. My work was specifically related to the provincial iteration of their VoteONFood campaign. VoteONFood is an election-based effort to inform politicians on crucial areas of policy that are needed to address food systems issues. While my work focused on the provincial level, the campaign is currently targeting prospective municipal politicians. This initiative, which attempts to spread awareness of issues brought forth by experts working in these fields as producers, academics, scientists, and others, highlighted the intensely difficult task of breaking down partisanship and spreading best practices. While the issues of knowledge mobilization are many, I'll outline two challenges that seemed particularly pertinent to the work in which I was involved.

Exploring Community Stories About "Fish as Food"
Written by Kristen Lowitt
In May 2018, members of the FLEdGE Northwestern Ontario Research Node hosted a "fish as food" roundtable session at the Community Conservation and Livelihoods Conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The session featured community stories on "fish as food" from the Northwest Territories to Nova Scotia. Collectively, the stories illustrate the importance of not seeing fisheries solely as an assortment of fish harvesters or fish stocks, but as part of larger food systems that provide for community sustenance, cultures, and economies. Co-organized by Kristen Lowitt and Charles Levkoe, the session builds on their ongoing FLEdGE research exploring the links between sustainable fisheries and food systems in the Lake Superior region of Northwestern Ontario.

Food systems are critical to urban resilience
By Patricia Ballamingie
Thanks to the international networking of FLEdGE PI Alison Blay-Palmer, FLEdGE researchers and partners were invited to present a panel on Building resilient food systems: Policy across multiple scales at the ICLEI World Congress 2018, held in Montreal, June 20-22.
Since ICLEI's inception, urban resilience and sustainability have largely been framed in terms of climate change mitigation and adaption. But as food system scholars and practitioners know, food serves as a portal to those and so many other related socio-economic and environmental issues. And cities play a crucial role in achieving food security, optimizing health and advancing environmental sustainability. Food production and food access programs target predominantly urban populations; urban, peri-urban, and rural areas remain closely interrelated; and the municipal level proves the most effective and efficient for many food policies and programs to occur.

Good Lord, I should have never been so uppity as to dismiss the venerable curly tail. I have been wacking them all week on the things. Anything from little 8" baby bass to six pounders (big for up north) with shoulders. Day, night, high pressure and low........ they can't get enough of them.
Anyone else having this same experience?
Oh yes, for smallies my first choice is a tube for sure but,a fat 5" grub paired with a 1/4oz jighead in the bluegill color or pearl white around here is a killer on smallies.

La Jordan EJ13 è una monoposto di Formula 1 prodotta dal team Jordan, che corse il Campionato mondiale di Formula 1 2003. Progettata da Gary Anderson e guidata da Giancarlo Fisichella e Ralph Firman fu l'ultima vettura della scuderia irlandese a cogliere una vittoria in Formula 1.

Preparazione della stagione

Al termine della stagione 2002 la Jordan perse la fornitura ufficiali dei motori Honda e il suo sponsor principale, ragion per cui la squadra irlandese poté disporre di un budget non superiore ai 70 milioni di dollari. Furono quindi effettuati molti esuberi di tecnici e il progettista Anderson si ritrovò in difficoltà nel costruire la vettura. Alla progettazione parteciparono anche Niccolò Petrucci ed Henri Durand che si occuparono dello sviluppo aerodinamico. Eddie Jordan, inoltre, fece aderire la propria scuderia all'opzione Heathrow nel tentativo di limitare i costi.

Sul fronte dei piloti venne confermato Giancarlo Fisichella, dopo che, nei mesi invernali, il suo nome era stato accostato alla Sauber, mentre Takuma Satō fu sostituito da Ralph Firman, anche grazie all'intercessione dello sponsor principale Benson & Hedges.

Sviluppo

Progettata da Gary Anderson, la Jordan EJ13 era una vettura abbastanza convenzionale e riprendeva molte delle soluzioni adottate già nel precedente modello. Si trattò, però, di una monoposto estremamente inaffidabile e poco competitiva, se si esclude un acuto in Brasile in condizioni particolari. I problemi maggiori capitarono a Fisichella che fu più volte costretto al ritiro. Inoltre anche nel giro singolo le vetture della scuderia irlandese non fornivano buone prestazioni, con i piloti spesso costretti a schierarsi a metà della griglia di partenza. Anche i motori Ford, rispetto agli Honda utilizzati fino alla stagione precedente, non davano una buona affidabilità.
Perciò la Jordan ritenne che era meglio pensare al 2004 e iniziare a progettare una vettura migliore.

Carriera agonistica

I test
Il termine dell'accordo di fornitura dei motori con la Honda mise in seria difficoltà il team irlandese che svolse pochi test prima dell'inizio della stagione. In tutto i due piloti accumularono 4.358 chilometri di prove, la maggior parte dei quali furono percorsi da Fisichella.
