Pascack Valley's Roy Nygren, an iconic coach and legendary figure in North Jersey boys soccer, will retire on April 1 after nearly four decades on the sidelines.
Nygren won 426 games during his career and led Don Bosco to six Bergen County championships around the turn of the century. He was a program-builder along the way and inspired generations of athletes by teaching life lessons through sports.
A native of Upper Saddle River, he spent the last 11 seasons with the Indians and also worked with their softball and boys basketball programs.
He will step down to take care of his wife Judy, who suffered a massive stroke last August.

"He's an amazing man," said Pascack Valley's Jeff Jasper, the state all-time wins leader in girls basketball.
"He's exactly what you see. He's such an uncomplicated guy. His energy is for real and his enthusiasm is for real. He greets everybody with 'Oh baby!'".
Getting his start
Sports were always at the forefront of Nygren's life. He was a three-sport star at Don Bosco and a captain for William Paterson's soccer team. Though his love for the game made coaching a natural choice, his Hall of Fame career started from humbling beginnings.
Hasbrouck Heights had just nine players when he took over in 1982 and lost every game during his three-year tenure. And yet, the Aviators developed a full JV program by the time he left.
"I think I'm pretty competitive," Nygren said. "I'm not going to say I don't love winning.
"But I also truly believe that life's lessons many times can be taught in no better setting than when you don't get what you want. You can lose a game, but I always tell my players to never be defeated. Keep driving. Keep pushing. Keep working to get better and to be a better person."
Jasper believes his longtime friend has lived by that advice, always trying to hone his craft even after stops at Hackensack, Northern Highlands and Midland Park. At the end of every fall, no matter the season's outcome, Jasper writes a note to his fellow coach with the same message: "You take those boys and turn them into young men."
Building a winner
Don Bosco turned into a local powerhouse under Nygren's leadership. The Ramsey school won six Bergen championships from 1997 to 2007 and won 11 straight league titles.
Success followed at Pascack Valley, which won at least 10 games in three of the last four seasons. Those close to Nygren describe him as energetic and challenging, pushing players to achieve more than what they thought possible.

"His passion ran through all of us, and to this day I hear his hysterical catch phrases and see his goofy smile," said Josh Ulin, an All-North Jersey goalie and 2018 graduate. "As much as he was a coach on the field, he was a coach off of it."
Over the years, Pascack Valley played a tough and hard-nosed style. It worked as a team and battled to keep possession. It made the Bergen County final in 2016 and won five league titles under Nygren's reign.
"The rivalry between OT and PV is what high school sports is all about," NV/Old Tappan coach Mark Torrie said. "Their team took on all the quality traits of their coach. They competed well, but within the spirit of the game and always played with skill and intelligence."

Fighting through adversity
Nygren's life was turned upside-down on Aug. 31. His wife Judy seemed to be in good health – a non-smoker who ran three miles every other day – but then suffered a stroke just days before the soccer season. It was only then that doctors diagnosed her with arteriovenous malformation (AVM), a condition that affects blood flow.
For Nygren, it was challenging to stay focused on soccer while taking care of his 33-year partner, who he called "the love of my life".
There were numerous brain surgeries for Judy and a "life-or-death operation" called a resection, which lasted about 12 hours. Then came a month in Columbia University Medical Center and another four in the neurotrama rehab center at Helen Heyes.
She finally returned home Jan. 17 for 9-12 months of outpatient therapy.

Roy Nygren said that over the years, his wife would often joke that soccer came before her. In the end, he chose otherwise.
"Life can throw you different pitches," he said. "A guy told me once that man plans and God laughs. In this case, I've always preached to my boys that you always know what the right thing to do is.
"Right now, the right thing is to take care of my wife. There really wasn't a choice."
Nygren leaves as one of the winningest coaches in North Jersey. He advocated for local soccer and helped create the Bergen County Boys Soccer Coaches Association.
While Nygren said it was difficult to walk away from the game, he considers himself lucky for the players that came along.
"If you're honest, up-front and straight-forward and respect them as people and truly care about their well-being, they accept discipline and work really hard," he said. "I feel really blessed on my career. I couldn't have chosen a better career."

California auto insurance companies are obligated to distribute policies with liability coverage of 15/30/5. A lot of drivers prefer to raise this coverage with the intention of protecting their residences and other possessions. The Internet can offer vast options when deciding what type of coverage works best.
California auto insurance companies also tender optional coverage such as medical payments, collision, comprehensive, and protection against uninsured motorists. Despite the fact that these may not be a state prerequisite, they could represent the distinction between someone keeping their home or filing for bankruptcy.
It is a prudent thought to include medical payment coverage along with the car insurance policy, considering the fact that medical attention can cost thousands of dollars. With this approach, consumers won't have to be anxious about an accident victim filing a lawsuit for thousands of dollars that their insurance policy doesn't include. Collision coverage is a critical element to any insurance policy as it covers the damages done to the account holder's own car in the event of an accident. Without collision coverage, people will not be able to meet the expense of having their own car repaired.
On the other hand, comprehensive insurance covers other inopportune auto incidents such as theft, natural disaster, and fire. With this coverage, people are able to replace what was stolen or have their car repaired for only the cost of their deductible.
Uninsured motorist coverage safeguards people in case their car should meet with an accident with somebody who does not have car insurance. This type of insurance comes in handy when people need to repair their car after an accident that was not their fault.


Seabed Geosolutions has chartered the "Nor Tigerfish" vessel fro Solstad Offshore.
The company will hire the 5500 bhp AHTS vessel for a period of 7 months firm with an additional 2 months option. The contract starts in March 2014.
"The contract value is confidential between the parties, but in line with present market conditions for this type of vessel," Solstad Offshore said in a press release.
Seabed Geosolutions, formed from a seabed geophysical joint venture between Fugro and CGG in early 2013, acquires geophysical data using pioneering seismic and non-seismic technology positioned directly on the seabed.

Art Directing Inclusiveness
Grant Rodiek | January 16, 2017
Inclusiveness in media is very important, and as today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day here in the United States, it seemed like a great time to briefly touch on this. I honestly think most customers are fine with inclusivity, which is a good thing! I also think it's a relatively easy and natural thing to execute as a publisher or art director. After all, half of the population are female, for one, which means almost every game theme will survive the inclusion of women (Note: I went back and forth on this note, but I want to clarify that I used the word "survive" specifically to poke at idiots who think this is a bad thing). But, beyond gender, which is an even split, about 16% of the US is of Latino ethnicity and almost 13% are of African descent. 5% are Asian [Source]. That's a lot of people, and if that alone isn't sufficient, that's also a lot of customers.
Cities? Space stations? Politics? Ninjas? Witches? Morlocks? Rat people? All of them can use women or darker shades of fur. Hell, even Star Wars and Mad Max are doing just fine with women and minorities included more. Who would have thought?
At this point, I've hired and directed artists about 7 times for board game projects. This doesn't include the dozens of digital titles of which I've been involved. For those, I'm not the AD, but as a producer I have been involved. I'm particularly proud of our work on The Sims 4 City Living. Therefore, I'm ready and prepared to give some quick advice on how to direct artists such that your game is more inclusive.
Here is what you say:
"Please be sure to include some women in the illustrations. Also, not everyone should be white."
That's it! It works!
Furthermore, you can take additional steps to specify which characters are best for this. For example, in York I really wanted the infantry to look bedraggled and tired. Beards are a good way to do this, and most women don't have beards (though some do!). But, I thought it'd be fun to have a woman as the general, so I specified that, and it worked just fine. If your art team isn't comfortable making the decision, or isn't sure what you mean by the more open sentence above, feel free to specify for them.
I'm not trying to make light of this topic. It's important. But, I am trying to point out how simple it really is to execute against this. The recent Star Wars, Star Trek, and Mad Max movies have been critical and commercial hits, proving that the market is more than accepting of non-white people doing cool things in space.
One thing I will note, and I'm sure I'll anger a lot of people here (but please read it all as I may win you back over), I do think you can make an argument for not having as diverse an art set in order to maintain historical authenticity. Just as the battle of Waterloo was predominantly fought by white men (due to the populations of those countries and the fact that slaves weren't usually given guns), white dudes also weren't involved in the Qin wars of unification (aka Ancient China). Yet, Matt Damon is the star of an upcoming movie about the Great Wall of China. Hoo boy.
Before we add more diversity to Waterloo, I think we first need to tell more stories about historical events about non-white people. We tend to focus on Waterloo, because it's awesome, sure, but there's a lot of stuff we haven't yet tackled. I'm advocating we solve the root problem, which is to tell a broader slice of history.
In the same way movies have done a disservice to the contributions of non-white entities in historical conflicts, I think games have as well. Red Tails is a terrible movie (sadly) about the Tuskegee Airmen. I typed in "Tuskegee Airmen" into BGG and nothing turned up.
The 442nd Infantry Regiment was comprised of Japanese-Americans who fought in Europe in WWII despite their families being in internment camps. They are the most decorated unit in American military history for their size and length of service. I was not able to find a board game about them. I think their story is incredible, but also sad. Can you imagine fighting this hard for a country that has treated you so poorly? That's a story that should be told.
Ancient Rome was incredibly diverse, with Mediterranean, Slavic, African, Persian, and other ethnicities building the empire. But, you normally see white dudes in sweet Centurion helms.
What about the Buffalo Soldiers?
There is some progress. Academy Games released Freedom: The Underground Railroad about the abolitionish movement. I haven't bought it because I don't love co-op, but I also find the subject matter incredibly hard to bear. Their excellent Birth of America series prominently features the Native Americans who had a big role in these conflicts. I have, and love, all of these games. GMT have released a few games now focused on the histories of Native American tribes, beginning with Navajo Wars. I'm a little sad they're solo games, as that's a deal breaker for me.
It isn't that we shouldn't create games about Vikings, or the 101st Airborne in World War II, or French Cuirassiers at Waterloo. It's more that we also need to tell more stories about groups who haven't had their chance yet. Adding an Asian man to Waterloo is a surface level change to a deeper problem. But, I'd argue it's easier to stand out making a game about a new theme and historical premise than making yet another game about the Battle of the Bulge (which had black men at it, by the way).
Directing artists to be inclusive is really simple. Ask for it. Being inclusive about history requires a bit more work - the research, the design - but it's something the market is ready to enjoy.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have a yearly tradition to uphold.

Family cycling travel guide. Helping Dreamers Do.
For an active break, a family cycling vacation is actually pretty chilled. No peloton to keep up with, no Lycra – it's simply about exploring on two wheels, on safe routes and over child friendly distances. Family cycling is typically self guided, so you can pedal at your own pace. Just pop a picnic in your pannier and go, stopping to swim, eat or play whenever you like. Some cycling vacations include other activities – watersports or horse riding, for instance – some go point to point, delivering a saddlebag-full of satisfaction with each completed section. If you're feeling really adventurous, you can join a guided group and see somewhere exotic, like Kenya, from your saddle. Wherever you choose, two wheels will help you reach the parts cars miss, discovering unspoiled scenery and meeting local people, too. No driving, fresh air, exercise and a bit of an adventure – family cycling vacations tick boxes for kids and adults.
Find out more in our family cycling vacations travel guide.
What do family cycling vacations entail?
Self guided cycling suits families brilliantly, providing the perfect blend of independence and support, flexibility and structure. There's no need to catch up or wait for other members of a group, and you have the freedom to stop when you want or tailor the ride to suit tired legs and lazy days. Routes carefully planned to suit children, maps and 24/7 support are provided, so you can pedal off with confidence, knowing where you're going but free to explore at your own speed, too.
Family cycling vacations follow routes selected for safety, so that's typically cycle paths, tracks and quiet roads, usually with little or no traffic. Distances vary, and there's often the opportunity to cut rides short or extend them for more of a challenge, but generally you won't be pedalling for more than 30km each day. Routes tend to stick to easy, level terrain, too, so no long ascents or steep descents. On a small group vacation, a support vehicle will be following along, so anyone can take a break by catching a ride in it.
Who's best suited to a family cycling vacation?
Obviously, the entire family needs to be happy cycling for at least two hours, so be honest about fitness levels, ability and cycling commitment. It's one thing pedalling around the park on a Sunday, and quite another following a 30km route to your next accommodation each day. If in doubt, choose a trip that includes the option to hire a bike for a day or two and see how you get on before committing to a dedicated cycling vacation.
In addition, most family cycling vacations have a minimum age. In somewhere like Sweden, where the cycling is level and easy, that might be eight years old; in somewhere more unusual, such as Tanzania, it could be 10. Do check with the vacation company, though, as some will accept younger children, so that a sports mad nine year old, for instance, doesn't miss out on an epic cycling vacation with a minimum age requirement of 10 years.
Centre based or point to point?
Some family cycling vacations follow a single route, from location to location, with your bags moved to each night's accommodation for you. This is a great way to see a decent chunk of a country, with lots of variety built in and a real sense of achievement at the end when you tot up how far you've pedalled. Centre based cycling is a slightly more flexible choice. There's always the option to ditch the bikes – you're not following a long route or trying to pedal to your next guesthouse – but even some point to point cycling vacations build in rest days or a few nights in a single place, so you can take shorter circular rides or spend a day out of the saddle.
If you're tied to the school vacations, the summer break is the best time to go cycling in Sweden, with pleasant temperatures and long days. Spain can hit the 40°Cs in summer, but you can still cycle in Catalonia, where breezes off the Med and Pyrenees lower temperatures. Winter breaks can be mild and marvellous here, too. Cycling in France is doable but dreary over winter – the best time to go is Easter, May or summer for warm, fine weather. Avoid Kenya and Tanzania at Easter, since this is the rainy season, and be prepared for chilly nights but warm days in Jul and Aug.

Here are the straight answers on choosing what helicopter to train in.
It doesn't really matter what you train in, although I would push for learning in whatever model you intend to fly/rent/purchase if possible.
National average is 60-70 hours to obtain a private rating in an R22 (with no flight experience).
The R44 is closer to the FAA minimum of 40 hours.
Other aircraft tend to run 40-50 hours.
How many hours it really takes, depends on you!
Because the Robinson Helicopters are by far the most popular worlwide it is really a benefit to get time in them. You don't have to do ALL your training in one, but you certainly can. There are a few special regulations that go with Robinsons, and I'll explain those below.
As a licensed helicopter pilot, to act as Pilot in Command of a Robinson R22 or R44 you must receive 10 hours of dual instruction in the aircraft. Simple enough.
To act as a Flight Instructor in an R22, you must have 50 hours of flight time IN AN R22 and an endorsement from a D.E.
To act as a Flight Instructor in an R44, you must have 50 hours of flight time in an R44, or 25 hours R22 + 25 hours R44 and an endorsement.
To act as a Flight Instructor in a Schweizer 300, Bell 47, Enstrom F28C, MD500E, etc, etc, you must have 5 (FIVE) hours in that aircraft.
So if you learn to fly in a Schweizer, then try to get a job at a school that has Robinson, you will need to fly the 50 hours extra.
We can teach you in anything.

Q: How to make long text label, which lives in UI View, to multiple lines in Swift? I'm trying to make a long text label, which lives inside of UI View, to multiple lines. I was searching for a solution for 2 hours, but I couldn't solve it, so I want to ask for some help. Here is the image of what I get now.
This is the View Hierarchy debugger.
In a table view cell, I put the repository name which I got from Github. In the third cell in the image, I want to make the repo name to two lines, since it's long. I saw this StackOverflow question, which sounds similar to my current problem and implemented in my code, but it didn't work.
Here is my code. It's too long but the point is, I have declared label.numberOfLines = 0 and label.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = true, and I tried to make my label convertible to multiple lines, but it didn't work. Could anyone please point me at what I'm doing wrong here?

        starNumLabel.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: trailingAnchor, constant: -10).isActive = true
    }

}

A: My guess is the trailing constraints of your label is not set properly.
You can use the View Hierarchy debugger in Xcode to have a clear view of the size your view actually has at runtime.
If the trailing anchor is not set, wrapping text isn't possible as it doesn't reach the "end" of the view.

Hochtief forecasts delay in opening Pont Briwet road bridge
Gwynedd Council in Wales has said that news of a delay of a few months in the planned opening of the Pont Briwet road bridge has come as a blow.
The rail section of the challenging project has been completed, with passenger trains beginning operation today. "However, we anticipate that there will be a delay in opening the road bridge as Hochtief UK, the contractors, have reported that there is still a significant amount of work to complete on site," said the council. "In March it was said that not building a temporary road would enable contractors to open the road earlier than originally anticipated, so this news comes a blow to us."
Completion is now expected in spring of 2015, which is when opening of the new road bridge had originally been scheduled.
Main contractor Hochtief (UK) Construction was appointed in February 2013 (link opens in new tab).
The contractor is encountering problems with the transfer of the water main and other services to the new rail bridge, said the council. This must be completed before the old bridge can be demolished and work starts on the new road bridge.
It had been intended that the existing bridge would be used until the new rail bridge was completed and then temporary decking placed alongside the railway to provide a single lane access for vehicles. However, in November 2013 it was necessary to close the existing railway line following settlement of the old bridge and by January 2014 the road bridge has also deteriorated and had to be closed for safety reasons.

R. Kelly fan posted singer's $100K bond after meeting him on cruise, friend says
By Nader Issa and Frank Main Feb 26, 2019, 7:32pm CST

A close friend of R. Kelly said Tuesday the woman who posted bond for the singer met him on a cruise five months ago.
Don Russell, a Kelly friend and adviser, said that within a few months of meeting the R&B singer Valencia Love posted $100,000 to help Kelly win his freedom from Cook County Jail after he spent three nights in custody.
• Read the original 2000 Sun-Times R. Kelly investigation
• Read full coverage of the R. Kelly investigation
Love was a fan of Kelly's music when she met the 52-year-old singer aboard a Spirit of Chicago cruise on Lake Michigan in September, Russell said. Over the weekend, she called members of Kelly's inner circle and told them she wanted to help when she saw he wasn't able to make bail.
"She wanted Rob to have a chance at justice, and she thought he'd have a better chance outside of jail than inside," Russell said.
Love was with Kelly's group after the singer was released from jail Friday, Russell said, and gave a toast to her short friendship with Kelly, saying she knew she needed to help a friend in need despite only meeting last fall.
But a woman who called the Sun-Times and identified herself as Love disputed aspects of Russell's account in a brief interview. She declined to say how she met the singer but acknowledged paying the bond.
On court paperwork, Love describes herself as a "friend" of Kelly's as she shelled out $25,000 for each of the four cases — all with a different alleged victim — in which Kelly is accused of aggravated sexual abuse.
Although she put down six figures to get Kelly out of jail, Love's own finances have been rocky, court records show.
She filed for bankruptcy in 2015, saying she couldn't pay $2,700 in parking tickets. She told the court she was a teacher at a South Side day care where she'd worked for seven years.
But in 2017, she and her former husband came into a windfall. Each got about $1.1 million in a legal settlement from a wrongful-death lawsuit they filed against the former Children's Medical Hospital in Chicago, court records show. Their daughter had died in 2010 during a heart procedure at the hospital, according to the records.
Love, 47, of southwest suburban Romeoville, is a corporate officer of the day care where she was a teacher, according to the Illinois Secretary of State's office. She also is listed in secretary of state records as a manager of a restaurant, Love on the Blu, in south suburban Blue Island.
On Monday night, after Kelly was released from jail, the singer and his friends went to the flagship McDonald's in River North before they spent four hours at Biggs Mansion, a Gold Coast cigar lounge.
Outside the lounge, Russell said Kelly told him last year that he had "zero dollars in the bank" because he "trusted the wrong people" who took advantage of him. Since then, Russell claimed, "Money is coming to him, but not as much as he would like."
Kelly's attorney, Steve Greenberg, said in court last week that the singer's finances were "a mess" after he was dropped from his record label following recent boycotts of Kelly's music. Greenberg claimed Kelly's residual income from his music was limited, and that Kelly didn't even own the rights to his hit song "I Believe I Can Fly."

"The Interim Budget has identified Health as one of the Top 9 priority areas while Education remains an important focus area. The government should consider allocating budgets from Health and Education to improving School Sports and Physical Education as well as improving playgrounds in cities and towns. Sports participation has long-term health benefits which will reduce the future health bills of the country and schools have seen higher attendance, lower dropouts and higher child engagement in academic subjects after the introduction of a high-engagement sports curriculum. Investment in Sports in Schools is equivalent to investing in Preventive Health Schemes and Mid-day Meals for improving attendance and reducing drop-out rates."

HANBURY, DANIEL (1825–1875), pharmacist, was born in London on 11 Sept. 1825. His parents, Daniel Bell and Rachel Hanbury, were well-known members of the Society of Friends. He left school early, his proficiency in languages and drawing being acquired in after life. At the age of sixteen he entered the house of Allen & Hanbury of Plough Court, Lombard Street, in which his father was a partner. Three years later, in 1844, he entered as a student in the laboratory of the Pharmaceutical Society, of which he became a member in 1857, and from I860 to 1872 he was on the board of examiners. He was especially, though not exclusively, de-  voted to pharmaceutical subjects, and his many papers, published at various times, were collected in a memorial volume after his death. He took particular interest in the materia medica of the Chinese, on the derivation of storax, and the various descriptions of cardamom. He became a fellow of the Linnean Society in 1855, and was its treasurer at the time of his death; he also joined the Chemical Society in 1858, and the Microscopical in 1867, in which year he was elected into the Royal Society, and five years afterwards was a member of its council. He much enjoyed foreign travel, and in 1860 he visited Palestine with Dr. (now Sir Joseph) Hooker. In 1870 he retired from business. He died on 24 March 1875.
Hanbury wrote: 1. 'Inquiries relating to Pharmacology and Economic Botany' (in the 'Admiralty Manual of Scientific Inquiry') 2. 'Pharmacographia,' 1874; his most important work, written in conjunction with Professor Flückiger of Strasburg. 3. 'Science Papers . . .,' edited, with memoir, by J. Ince, 1876.
Dr. Seemann in 1858 named the cucurbitaceous genus Hanburya in his friend's honour.

Culture change is more likely to succeed when line managers and HR are both taking up the appropriate roles during the transformation process.
Earlier in my career as a management consultant, I was working in the HR team of a global building company, let's call it ConstructCo. While the firm had enjoyed a period of rapid growth it had found itself in serious financial trouble and now languished in a slump that threatened its very existence. The leadership team desperately needed to turn around ConstructCo's fortunes and I had been recruited as a culture advisor to help stem the tide of company losses and the steep decline in share prices.
I was meeting with members of ConstructCo's executive team as part of my induction to the firm and had just spent an hour with Rob, the company's Chief Financial Officer (CFO) who had described the company's history and the ongoing issues with performance. Construction managers had let standards slip and were not managing their budgets, which was contributing to the company's losses. It was clear to Rob that the organization needed to create a higher performing and more commercial culture if it was going to survive in a more competitive and lower margin world. In the CFO's mind, the case for culture change was clear and compelling.
As we shook hands at the end of the meeting Rob's parting words to me were 'good luck with the culture change'. At that moment I realized that the CFO believed it was my role (alone) to deal with the cultural issues and bring about the company's transformation. I sat back down with Rob to explore this assumption and how he saw the role of HR in the change agenda at ConstructCo.
In my conversation with Rob I discovered that, in the past, HR had been seen as the 'owners' of the culture within ConstructCo. When the firm's share price started to slide, the HR department had been called in and given the task of creating a more performance-focused company. The team stepped into this role with enthusiasm and designed a series of interventions aimed at creating the desired culture shift. Despite their efforts, a change was happening at a glacial pace.
Rob described what had happened at ConstructCo and that the more HR stepped into the change leadership roles, the more the line managers seemed to disengage. The HR team reacted by ramping up its change efforts with more workshops, more events and more communications.
Line managers began to feel like the change was disconnected from the business imperatives and being 'done to' them, so they took a further step back. The CEO heard the noise about the change being 'removed from the business realities'. He saw employees attending workshops but very little real shifts across the organization and made the decision to shut down the change 'project'.
Culture change must always be line-led. Quite simply, if the leaders don't take up their change role then the transformation efforts will fail. The first step we took at ConstructCo was to explore with the executive team how they saw their role (and that of HR) in relation to the cultural transformation. The leaders agreed that they needed to step into their change leadership role in order to transform the firm and realized the assumption that HR 'owned' the culture transformation process, had prevented them from making a shift to a more performance-focused company in the past.
Change that is 'done to' people will not work. The learning was that any future change would need to be owned by the line managers in order to be successful.
The simple fact is that HR cannot lead culture change from its role in the organization. The role of HR during culture change is to provide expert advice, training and supporting tools to enable line managers to lead and manage the transformation.
1. Examine how your leaders are taking up their role.
Are line managers across your organization taking up their change leadership role? How can you put the onus on line managers to bring about the change you are seeking? Remember that culture change must invariably be leader-led.
2. Examine what role your HR team is taking up in relation to the change.
Are your HR team members taking up their advisory role or stepping into an inappropriate change leadership role? Remember that change that is done to line managers will not succeed.
3. Determine what skills your HR team members need.
How equipped are your HR team members to take up their change advisory role? What skills do they need to develop in order to support line managers in leading and managing this complex, adaptive change? Culture change is more likely to succeed when line managers and HR are both taking up the appropriate roles during the transformation process. By working together, like in the Con – structCo example, the change benefits can be delivered faster and with less noise across the organization.


Can home owners (who lack organizing superpowers) realistically be expected to manage the Tidying Up process? What does decluttering really look like in reality? How is the process different if you work with a professional organizer? In this episode of The Architecture Happy Hour Podcast, Architects and hosts Laura Davis and Holly Hall review the Netflix series called Tidying Up with Marie Kondo and get candid feedback and helpful tips from professional organizer, Traci Olivares of Totally Organized.

By now you've probably heard of Marie Kondo and her #1 New York Times best-selling book called, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing. Her second book published in 2016, Spark Joy: An Illustrated Master Class on the Art of Organizing and Tidying Up continued her popularity in the tidying up and organization arenas.
In January 2019, perfectly timed with the dawn of New Year's resolutions everywhere, Netflix released the television series Tidying Up with Marie Kondo. In HGTV style, each of the 8 episodes featured different families, couples, or single home owners struggling with their own decluttering challenges. We binged watched every episode eager to glean valuable tips and methods for transforming our own homes.
Marie Kondo's tidying up process centers on the KonMari Method™. Followers of the method are instructed to sort through their belongings in categories rather than by location — but it's an overwhelming process. Often her clients take weeks and months to declutter, and some take it on as a full-time project. How realistic is this really? We chat with professional organizer, Traci Olivares of Totally Organized who joined us to discuss how to manage all the stuff.

Haderslevhus (or Hansborg) is the name of a castle that once stood in the Danish city of Haderslev, until destroyed by a fire in 1644.

History
Like most of the medieval cities of trade, Haderslev had a royal castle, which was called Haderslevhus. The suffix "hus" (meaning house) was commonly used for castles in medieval Denmark (Koldinghus, Tønderhus, Ålborghus, Riberhus etc.). The castle was first mentioned in sources dating back to 1326, but was most likely built in the second half of the 13th century, like most Danish city castles. The castle was the home of the governor of the borough (and later the county), who took care of the king's (or in Southern Jutland, the duke's) possessions, in and around the city. In the city castle, the taxes, duties, and fines were paid here. Haderslevhus was located in the eastern part of the city, which was surrounded by a moat at the time. In this fortification lived the future Danish king, Christian III of Denmark, when he imposed the Reformation in 1526 at Haderslev. When Hans the Elder was proclaimed Duke of Slesvig and Holstein (today Southern Jutland and Northern Germany), he took up residence in Haderslevhus, which now, in 1544, was an old and worn-out building.

After a few years, the Duke decided to build a new castle called Hansburger. It was supposed to be a new and modern Renaissance palace that suited him much better. As chief architect, he appointed Hercules von Oberberg - one of the most influential architects of the time. The western wing of the building was ready for use in 1562, and the duke moved in. Four years later, in 1566, the southern wing with the chappelle was completed. After the completion of Hansborg, the old building was demolished, and the area on which it stood for centuries, was sold in bits to the staff of the new palace. A small part of the castle is preserved to this day. In the 1570s, Duke Hans the Elder proceeded to build the eastern and northern wings of Hansborg, but he died in 1580, and therefore did not see the completed castle. After the Duke died, King Frederick II of Denmark acquired parts of his lands, including Haderslev, and in 1580-1585, he finished the construction of the last two wings. The palace now stood as a whole - complete with four wings and two towers at the corners. In the area between the castle and the city, one could find stables, commercial buildings, and residences for the palace staff. The palace itself spanned over a 80x75m piece of ground - about the size of Kronborg Castle, and a bit bigger than Sønderborg Castle.

Shortly after the completion of Hansborg, it was decided that the castle should be called by the original name, Haderslevhus—presumably to follow the old systematic naming of castles in trade cities at the time. So, actually, the castle was only called Hansborg in the short period of time between 1562 and about 1590. Otherwise, the castles has always been spoken of by the name Haderslevhus. The German imperial troops used the castle as headquarters in 1627-1629, and the building was severely damaged. In 1629-1642 a lot of reconstruction took place, but the castle was invaded by Torstenson's troops in 1643-1645, and in 1644, the castle caught fire, and burned to the ground. After this catastrophe, many of the bricks were used for the construction of the Danish Royal Library, and therefore a castle was never rebuilt. Haderslev had lost both of its castles.

Welcome to Barbara Batemans website,the online exhibition and gallery of an exceptionally talented Australian landscape artist.
Born in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia in 1946. She has always been an artist and has observed and responded artistically to her life experiences. Said one of her teachers at RMIT: "Barbara has a passion and commitment necessary to pursue painting through the years". This website is about the way she views the Australian Landscape that she knows and loves.
As a child growing up in country Victoria, many hours were spent during Barbara's Primary and Secondary Schooling drawing features of her environment. In those early years Barbara received Art Prizes for her endeavours.
She attended RMIT and completed a Diploma of Fine Arts and later did a Bachelor of Education focussing on Art Education at Melbourne University.
Barbara spent 25 years teaching Secondary students to love the Arts and she assisted in their development as artists. She taught at Billanook College, Tintern ACGS abd Huntingtower School. She was Head of the Art Departments in each school and taught her students how to paint with amazing success.
After retirment from teaching Barbara now draws and paints the sea and bush environment from her property near the seaside town of Lorne on The Great Ocean Road in Victoria. The Otway bush environment, the Australian Outback and figures in the landscape are all important themes. The artworks range in size from 153 x 137cm down to smaller works of 46 x 56cm.
Barbara is interested in the act of painting using a variety of media such as Oils, Acrylic, Waterclour, Gouache and Charcoal.
Barbara works in the 'plein-air' tradition, encompassed by the bush to paint the sensed reality observed. She is not interested in painting a representational or descriptive view of the landscape, rather her paintings express her internal memories and subjective experiences. She is interested in the celebration of the act of seeing colours, shapes and textures by both herself and the viewer. Her paintings describe the joyful act of seeing and are a discovery of Barbara's inner consciousness.
Her works have been purchased by many in Australia and America, England, Ireland and Germany. Barbara regularly has exhibitions where her paintings and drawings are sold.

Earlier this week I had the honor of being part of a great event: Bike Maine 2017. The town of Rangeley hosted BikeMaine during a 2-day layover in Rangeley. see http://ride.bikemaine.org/2017-day-3day-4-rangeley/.
The Rangeley Lakes Chamber of Commerce encouraged local artists to showcase their products at a downtown festival for the 400 cyclists and support staff on their "day off". I usually do not do custom products but a few weeks before the event I remembered that I had done a watercolor painting of an old "Penny-farthing" style bicycle so I decided to print the image on my Trivets, Centerpieces and Coasters. I thought it would be a fun image to commemorate the event. The coasters I had printed up sold out and I was able to arrange shipping for the larger Trivets and Centerpieces! After talking to the Event Director of Bike Maine I decided to continue to offer the items on line on my website for other cyclists who didn't get a chance to get over to the festival. Check them out here at the Store under Custom Designs at the bottom of the page.
I was so impressed by the positive energy of the cyclists that I met from all over the country and was thrilled to be part of this event. I wish the cyclists all the best as they finish up the remaining days of BikeMaine 2017.
The garden is in and coming up fast! So it felt like the right time to paint some veggies for the summer craft shows! Yesterday I finished this painting of a basket full of Rainbow Chard. Prints of this painting will be available soon on trivets, placemats and coasters at my summer and fall shows. Hope to see you there!
Just wanted to let you know that I will be headed north to Maine the first week of May. There will be a little gap in shipping orders the 2nd week in May but I'll be back in business at my Rangeley home and studio by the third week of May.
I also wanted to let you know that my Airbnb bungalow in Mount Dora has availabilities during May, June and July. If you are coming to Florida or are already here and want to spend a few days in this quaint little town check it out here at www.airbnb.com/rooms/6832459.

Spotlight North: Municipal workers taking Pollensa town hall to court
Emser is a separate entity in the same way as, for example, Emaya is in Palma
Lorena Luque had, said the union back in March, suffered "discriminatory and humiliating" conditions | E. BALLESTERO
Andrew EdePollensa10/07/2021 11:24
Not so long ago, there was the business with the female employee of Pollensa's municipal services agency, Emser, who was reinstated by the town hall after a case for sexual discrimination was brought by the CCOO union.
Lorena Luque had, said the union back in March, suffered "discriminatory and humiliating" conditions because a shower for her was inside the men's changing room. The union maintained that the town hall's response to stress this had caused was to terminate her contract "in an improper manner".
The CCOO is one of two unions whose legal services have now been called on by Emser worker delegates to take Emser to court for what they say are breaches of the collective bargaining agreement promotions. Following three attempts to sort out the situation, "we are initiating proceedings to sue the municipal company for non-compliance with the agreement".
Emser is a separate entity in the same way as, for example, Emaya is in Palma. But it is still a town hall body, the responsible councillor being Francisca Cerdà, who has of course received a good deal of attention for having allegedly jumped the vaccination queue.

One of the world's largest energy providers has renewed their trust in Landis+Gyr: Spanish market leader IBERDROLA has signed an order for the supply of more than 700,000 smart meters, after Landis+Gyr has already been chosen to provide a total of 1.5 million devices over the past six years. The newly ordered smart meters are of the latest generation and will be installed within the scope of the final phase of the STAR mass rollout, starting in 2017. By December 2018, IBERDROLA aims to equip all of its domestic electricity customers with smart meters, as required by Spanish regulations.
For nearly a decade, IBERDROLA has been a major driving force behind smart metering and grid digitization throughout Spain. As leader of the larger consortium PRIME ALLIANCE, the company has been looking for a solution that could combine advanced meter management (AMM) deployment with smart grids needs. Powerline Intelligent Metering Evolution communication technology (PRIME) based on OFDM technology (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) has proven to work very efficiently, so IBERDROLA launched the mass rollout STAR (Sistemas de Telegestión y Automatización de la Red/Remote Grid Management and Automation System) based on PRIME back in 2010. By its completion in 2018, the whole domestic customer base of IBERDROLA, consisting of nearly 11 million electricity consumers, will enjoy the advantages of smart technologies.
The initial phase of the rollout was focused on urban areas having a high consumer density, not to mention high demands in terms of security, reliability and service. To date, IBERDROLA has already equipped more than 8 million of its consumers with smart meters, of which almost 20 percent have been supplied by Landis+Gyr.
To complete the smart meter's rollout, IBERDROLA will install more than 2.5 million devices throughout 2017 and 2018. The volume supplied by Landis+Gyr will be an important part of the deployment, bringing the latest smart meter generation to the project, using the latest PLC (Power Line Communication) OFDM based PRIME solution and other critical functionalities such as cyber security.


Hey, it's Sean Donnahoe, I know it's been a while since we've talked. This new job is very cool. I want to write a desktop app to display a chart from our electrical code book and have it change values based on user's selections. I am starting off by using a 2 column grid with user selection in column 0 and the data display in column 1.
I'm wondering what would be the best way to display this data? I was thinking of embedding a grid in column 1 and filling it thusly by breaking it into smaller columns and rows. I also saw that there is a DataGrid, but am completely clueless as to how to use it.

Aim. The classical maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) assessment protocol takes multiple days to measure thus necessitates athletes to return to a laboratory for several visits. The purpose of this study was to assess the validity and reliability of a new protocol (Palmer protocol), which proposes to measure MLSS in a single-day.
Methods. Nine endurance-trained males (age 21.1±1.6 years, VO2max of 63.2±3.2 ml·kg-1·min-1) performed the Palmer protocol and the classical MLSS assessment protocol. The classical MLSS protocol consisted of several constant-velocity runs of increasing intensity. The MLSS was defined as the highest velocity associated with an increase in blood lactate concentration ([La-]) ≤1.0 mmol·L-1 during the final 20 min of a 30 min run. Concurrent validity was assessed by calculating a Pearson product correlation coefficient between the running velocity at MLSS from the classical protocol and from the single-day Palmer protocol. Test-retest reliability was assessed by calculating a Pearson product correlation coefficient between the running velocities from 2 separate trials of the single-day Palmer protocol.
Results. The velocity at MLSS from the single-day Palmer protocol (236.4±27.8 m·min-1) produced a strong correlation of 0.97 (p<0.001) with the velocity at MLSS from the classical protocol (226.3±22.6 m·min-1). An equally strong correlation was calculated from test-retest reliability of the single-day Palmer protocol (r=0.97), (p<0.001).
Conclusion. These results suggest that the single-day Palmer protocol is valid and reliable in the estimation of MLSS.

Mining for "crown jewel" data sets: Q&A with Manuel Terranova
In the age of Industry 4.0, Big Data and the Internet of Things, manufacturing companies are, for the most part, focused on analyzing and using structured data sets. However, for all the data generated in your company, much of it, including "Crown Jewel Data sets" are trapped in monolithic storage architectures.
What are Crown Jewel Data sets?
Peaxy specializes in mining for trapped, unstructured data sets, liberating the data and facilitating full access to all of your company's information.
Peaxy works with unstructured data sets — more specifically, the data sets we call "crown-jewel data sets." The crown jewels include telemetry (test bench data and mission-critical equipment remote monitoring), simulation (structural analysis, computational fluid dynamics and finite element analysis) and geometry (engineering drawings, schematics and 3D models). Peaxy works with these data sets to aggregate the crown jewels and make those data sets readily accessible to the people who need them the most.
This Q&A covers everything from the crown jewels, to the Industrial Internet, to security and how Peaxy helps companies utilize these hidden — but vital — data sets.
Q: What are some obstacles manufacturing companies face when transitioning to Industry 4.0?
Terranova: Data is critical to creating "smart factories", which is the core of Industry 4.0. Peaxy focuses on data sets that are trapped. This comes from more than 25 years of deploying data in a monolithic way. Similarly, test bench data is often trapped in the test cell. The trick is to liberate the data set, aggregate it together with the "crown-jewel data" sets and use the empirical data coming off the test bench to validate the simulation models that are driving the product design.
I see customers facing the same challenges over and over again — it is really hard to liberate the data sets from the test cell, bring the data back to the engineer who needs it so they can validate the simulation to begin with.
If you're not able to do that, you might suffer from a dilemma called simulation drift. With simulation drift, the models are validated infrequently. That means the engineers have to add a fudge factor which results in over-engineered, non-competitive products.
This idea of tying the empirical test data and the remote monitoring diagnostics data back to the engineering asset is really essential. I don't see it as a manufacturing problem, but rather as a product lifecycle management problem.
Q: What are some solutions to this problem?
Terranova: The challenge for companies hoping to remain competitive over the next two or three decades is to efficiently use their unstructured, mission-critical data sets. Those are the data sets that allow you to support predictive maintenance, simulation management and digital twins at enterprise scale.
Our solution aggregates these digital assets and makes them available to a much broader set of stakeholders. It is incredible how often these data sets are unfindable and unsearchable.
It is important to clarify that we don't work with structured data and advanced supply chain planning. Rather, we solve the unstructured data challenges that exist on the manufacturing shop floor and beyond in engineering and field services.
We use our technology to create an engineering and manufacturing data plane where these assets can be readily shared. Sharing is a much bigger challenge in the unstructured data world than it is for structured data like ERP.
We are also working to provide the ability to search the unstructured data sets for the aggregated data, because traditional search functions don't work in that construct. The trick is to know when the data sets have intrinsically changed, because re-indexing them every evening will take down the corporate network.
Architectures that are going to help people access the data sets have to be flexible and incremental. At the same time, they need to scale linearly and provide deterministic performance for the next three to four decades.
When you copy unstructured data assets, you move the file-based crown-jewel data sets to refresh the underlying hardware they sit on, and this changes all the path names associated with the files. In this process, the knowledge used to track the assets gets lost, and people can't find them again.
We provide companies with the ability to put those data sets into a data abstraction layer and protect the asset from the underlying data refresh that puts it into jeopardy every three to five years.
Q: Do you ever encounter customers who are concerned with the security of their unstructured data?
Terranova: When data is trapped on data islands, it is pretty secure — just not secure in the ways we want it to be. The systems were designed to limit access to a very small set of individuals in the enterprise. In order to unlock the data sets, we need to honor the permissions and authentication schemata that are in place.
That being said, security cannot be used as a barrier to aggregating and making the data sets more visible and accessible to a broader set of stakeholders. Ultimately, this will lead to a competitiveness issue. Security concerns need to be confronted, because the assets need to be shared in a much better way than they are today.
Security is a domain problem. It is a question of bringing the right people to the table and making sure that when you think about data as an asset, you are also thinking about security on and off the manufacturing campus.
