No, it's not a real estate explosion. In industries from retail to high tech, banking and manufacturing, companies are increasingly building networks behind the firewall where employees can create profiles and connect with one another in ways first demonstrated by LinkedIn, Facebook and MySpace.
It's more than an electronic water cooler, she says. Companies may start with the idea of helping employees feel more connected, but that's just the beginning. With easier and faster connections among people, suddenly cross-division collaboration happens more naturally, leading to greater innovation. "People don't just chat; they connect with people and end up talking about things that have an impact on the business," Shuen says.
Forrester Research Inc. agrees that 2008 is a time of rapid adoption of internal social networking, citing software suites that include social networking features, such as Awareness Inc.'s Enterprise Social Media, Jive Software's Clearspace, IBM's Lotus Connections and Microsoft's SharePoint.
Here are three companies that are already seeing benefits from early adoption of internal social networking.
The idea for Deloitte's D Street began when the firm's talent organization wanted to make a large company feel smaller. In addition, it wanted to create an environment that would appeal to its mostly younger workforce. At a company where the average age of employees is 28, "we knew we had challenges to win the talent war," says Patricia Romeo, the leader of D Street. But in January 2007, when the group began to create the business case for the social networking environment, it also started to envision some of the side benefits the initiative might engender.
For instance, by enabling connections among employees, the company could more easily offer flexible work arrangements, establish virtual teams, bring new employees up to speed, improve collaboration and increase retention among people who hadn't felt a strong sense of belonging.
After getting the support of Deloitte leadership and partnering with internal IT, communications and knowledge management groups, the team launched the alpha version of D Street in June 2007, basing it on a commercially available collaborative platform. The initial rollout was to 1,500 employees.
Romeo describes D Street as having capabilities similar to Facebook's, except that profiles are prepopulated with basic information, including name, job title and contact information. Employees can personalize the profiles with things like photographs, resumes, work and community affiliations, and former employers. D Street enables workers to introduce colleagues to one another, list external social network memberships and write blogs. There's also a "guest book," in which visitors can leave comments.
And D Street helps people connect. An employee who searches on "Web 2.0," for example, will find other people interested in that topic, as well as their connection to him.
Since few employees personalized their profiles initially, early adoption was slow, Romeo says. "People aren't going to go in as readily when the well is 75% empty," she explains. But with the encouragement of leadership, more people got involved, and they were soon demanding access to the rest of the organization.
Next, the development team tweaked the system with enhancements such as reporting capabilities and launched it this year to Deloitte's shared services organization. Currently, all 46,000 members of the organization are in the system.
According to Romeo, 400 to 500 employees have been personalizing their profiles each week, meeting a goal of involvement by 25% of staffers in the first eight weeks.
Avinash Jhangiani, a senior consultant at Deloitte Consulting LLP, says D Street has helped him expand his internal contacts at the company, which is especially helpful because he's a mobile worker. For instance, he says, the organizing committee for Deloitte's community service initiative found him on D Street via a simple people and keyword search.
A gap still exists between collaboration evangelists and those for whom "it's just not part of their DNA," says Romeo. To encourage reluctant people, the team will continue educating employees about the value of collaborative technology, and it plans to expand the technology to increase D Street's value and utility.
That brings up another challenge: to not be diverted by some users' desire to add new features. "We're going slower than what our users would like, but we want to be strategic" about making enhancements, Romeo says.
Eight years ago, IBM created BluePages, a Web-based corporate directory that includes profiles with contact information, employee photographs, name pronunciation, experience, self-descriptions, bookmarks and blog entries, as well as "friending" and information-tagging capabilities.
"Very early on, we recognized the importance of connecting people within IBM and moving beyond a static view of the individual," says Jeff Schick, vice president of social software. The heavily used directory includes 450,000 employees and gets 6million lookups per day.
With an initiative called Beehive, IBM is experimenting further. The application uses the code base of BluePages, which is based on Lotus Connections, but it's a separate system.
Ackerbauer says he can now connect with people on a social level that's typically absent when working remotely. Such connections help his teammates relate to one another like human beings and not just as resources or assets. Just recently, Ackerbauer says, he ended up speaking at a technology leadership conference, thanks to a connection he made with another employee who wouldn't have otherwise known he had expertise in the subject area.
Despite its experimental status, Beehive's user population has grown to 38,000 in nine months, mainly through viral adoption. "People find it through word of mouth, when others blog about it or bookmark it," Schick says. Adoption is strongest in the areas of product management, HR, talent management and the global services consulting business.
Schick's advice: Be aware that one size does not fit all. To increase involvement, you need to explain the story of social software from multiple perspectives.
"What appeals to some will make others almost cringe," he says. For instance, new employees may want to use social software to increase their visibility, while veterans may be motivated to keep people informed. Similarly, he says, focus more on why than on how in your training program.
Two years into implementing BlueShirt Nation (BSN) at Best Buy Co., Gary Koelling and Steve Bendt see internal social networks as organic entities. Many of the goals they had for the platform in 2006 had to be scrapped once the site — which now hosts more than 20,000 participants – took off.
Now senior manager of social technology, Koelling was a creative director in Best Buy's advertising organization when he and Bendt first thought of using technology to harvest marketing ideas from store employees. "The promise of being able to go out and tap into 140,000 employees and use computer magic to do it was really attractive to us," Koelling says. He figured it was a matter of gathering support, getting funding and laying out the steps to meet that goal.
Instead, "we got schooled quickly that not only did we not know about [technology], we also didn't know how people would react to a planned social network," he says.
For instance, instead of providing answers to Koelling's and Bendt's questions, participants preferred to talk about World of Warcraft or something funny that happened at work.
BSN is based on open-source software, and since internal IT lacked those skills, Koelling hired a development firm. The network was promoted virally; all participants found it through referrals or word of mouth.
Now that employees are connected, the site is rich with idea exchanges and discussions that have even helped change company policies. For instance, when one employee posted his thoughts on why it would be beneficial for all full-time employees to have e-mail access, it sparked a conversation that eventually led to a shift in policy to enable just that.
Corporate social networking: Booster or time-waster?
There have been plenty of mistakes along the way, Koelling says. For instance, some users wanted to adopt a system in which people received points based on their participation on the network. But once he initiated that, Koelling learned quickly that most people thought it was elitist.
Koelling's advice: Understand that on a social network, everyone shares equal status, even the person who runs it. "When the user tells me, 'This is how I want to use it,' I have to do whatever I can to accommodate that," he says.

Coffee is a brewed beverage with a strong flavor prepared from the roasted seeds of the coffee plant. The beans are found in coffee cherries, which grow on trees cultivated in over 70 countries, primarily in equatorial Latin America, Southeast Asia, South Asia and Africa. Green (unroasted) coffee is one of the most traded agricultural commodities in the world. Coffee is slightly acidic (5.0-5.1 pH) and can have a stimulating effect on humans due to its caffeine content. It is one of the most-consumed beverages in the world.
Wild coffee's energizing effect was likely first discovered in the northeast region of Ethiopia. Coffee cultivation first took place in southern Arabia; the earliest credible evidence of coffee drinking appears in the middle of the 15th century in the Sufi shrines of Yemen. From the Muslim world, coffee consumption and cultivation spread to India, to Italy, and on to the rest of Europe, Indonesia and the Americas.
In East Africa and Yemen, coffee was used in native religious ceremonies that competed with the Christian Church. As a result, the Ethiopian Church banned its secular consumption until the reign of Emperor Menelik II of Ethiopia. The beverage was also banned in Ottoman Turkey during the 17th century for political reasons and was associated with rebellious political activities in Europe.
Coffee berries, which contain the coffee seeds or "beans", are produced by several species of small evergreen bush of the genus Coffea. The two most commonly grown are the highly regarded Coffea arabica, and the "robusta" form of the hardier Coffea canephora. The latter is resistant to the devastating coffee leaf rust (Hemileia vastatrix). Once ripe, coffee berries are picked, processed, and dried. The seeds are then roasted to varying degrees, depending on the desired flavor. They are then ground and brewed to create coffee. Coffee can be prepared and presented in a variety of ways.
An important export commodity, coffee was the top agricultural export for twelve countries in 2004, and it was the world's seventh-largest legal agricultural export by value in 2005. Some controversy is associated with coffee cultivation and its impact on the environment. Consequently, organic coffee is an expanding market.
In 2010 Brazil was the world leader in production of green coffee, followed by Vietnam, Indonesia and Colombia. Arabica coffee beans are cultivated in Latin America, eastern Africa, Arabia, or Asia. Robusta coffee beans are grown in western and central Africa, throughout southeast Asia, and to some extent in Brazil.

With so much happening in Salt Lake City this summer it is hard to get a handle on what events are going on and which ones you should go to. I am continually surprised that every weekend I find myself turning down awesome opportunities because there is something going on in my neighborhood that is just as much fun. And this is not because I am on any VIP lists … please … I've only lived here for 8 months. No one is banging down my door to make sure I am accounted for. It really wasn't until a couple of weekends ago that Barton and I where driving down from a jammed pack day in Park City that I said to him, "damn, we just killed that weekend." Now I have a serious FOMO (fear of missing out) and a short attention span. I also listen to and absorb local news like crazy. So when it comes time to plan a weekend I research a huge variety of things going on in SLC. Notice I said plan a weekend- yes I also do that.
When I concoct a tentative weekend plan I base it off of a very scientific equation.
So in this space on the blog I thought it would be a great idea to provide my weekend plans for others. Not in a creepy "I hope you'll join me" type of way, but more of a, here is a list of activities that I genuinely think will be really fun to do this weekend. Because what it the point of checking instagram and seeing that you missed out on a free concert. (Disclaimer – it is also more than 100% okay to just view the instagrams whilst watching Netflix and nursing a hangover).
So without further ado here are a few things happening in Salt Lake City the weekend of July 10th!
4pm – 8pm / Sugar House Farmers Market / Sugarmount Plaza – On Friday afternoon the Sugar House Farmers Market opens for the first time this summer. There will be live music and apparently kid activities.
6pm – 11pm / Granary Row / 336 West 700 South – Friday evening if you haven't already checked out Granary Row you most definitely should. The street has been shut down all summer long so that it could be home to a summer beer garden, stage, and shops made out of shipping containers. Ride your bike down if you don't want to worry about parking.
9pm-ish / Sundance Film / City Park, Park City – One more option Friday night would be to go up to Park City to catch a FREE sundance film projected outside. Screening starts at dusk.
8am / Bubble Run 5k / Utah State Fair Grounds – If you are not feeling hungover you could participate in the Bubble Run 5k. Which you would have to sign up for Friday so that you could pick up your packet and enjoy a sudsy run through tons of bubbles.
8am / Dirty Bird Mud Run / Snowbasin – For those who want a more adventurous sort of race, Snowbasin has the inaugural Dirty Bird Mud Run today too. Grab a ticket on Friday if you want to get it cheaper than the $100, day-of, price. They expect the race to take around 2 hours and you cover over 5 miles, plus a massive slip-and-slide at the end.
8am – 2pm / Downtown Farmer's Market / Pioneer Park – For those of you who missed the Sugar House Farmers Market, there is also the Downtown Farmers Market. There is an amazing collection of food and gift vendors to explore. It is important to take particular note of the food carts down the middle of the park.
12pm – 10pm / Givestock / Gallivant Center – And for the main event the greatest folks over at Even Stevens are hosting what they are calling Givestock, a community music and art fair, benefiting their non-profit partners. Headlined by the Cold War Kids, they are also featuring many awesome local bands and artists. Tickets are $10 if you buy them from any of the Even Stevens locations and $15 at the door. Like I need another excuse to eat lunch at Even Stevens.
Whenever you wake up / East Canyon Reservoir /5535 S Hwy 66 – So if I have learned anything about Utah its that you get all your errands run on Saturday and leave Sunday for the outdoors. Here is a glimpse of East Canyon Reservoir which is about a 45 minute drive from SLC and perfect if you are craving a beach like atmosphere.
12pm – 5pm / Blues, Brews, and BBQ / Snowbasin – If you missed Blitzen Trapper at The State Room on Saturday, no fear they play again for FREE at Snow Basin Sunday afternoon. Snow Basin is holding Blues, Brews & Bbq's all summer long for free up at the resort on Sundays with Blitzen Trapper Headlining.
Now that you are (a little more) in the know, go out and enjoy a fantastic weekend in SLC!

Bus stop proposal: routes 190, 337, 391 and 419 bus stop H, Richmond Bus Station
Closed 16 Dec 2011
Opened 11 Nov 2011
STEngagement@tfl.gov.uk
Results Updated 13 Jan 2012
After carefully considering all responses, we plan to go ahead with the proposed changes.They will be introduced from 14 January 2012.
Please click here to view our consultation summary, which includes our response to the main issues raised.
Richmond Bus Station - Consultation Summary, 24.8 KB (PDF document)
The London Bus Network is kept under regular review. As part of this, we develop proposals for changes to services.
As a result of a recent review of bus stopping arrangements at Richmond Bus Station, Transport for London (TfL) considered a change to the first stops for routes 190, 391 and 419 at Richmond.
Why we consulted
To provide improved accessibility for passengers, by ensuring that buses are able to pull into the kerb, we proposed that routes 190, 391 and 419 no longer serve Stop H. Instead the first stop on these three routes would be Stop B on George Street, which is approximately 270 metres away from stop H. These routes already serve Stop B. About 290 passengers per day board the three routes at Stop H.
No changes were proposed to route 337 which would continue to serve Stop H in the bus station. This maintains the interchange between buses from north of Richmond and route 337 towards Clapham Junction.
Please see the map below. The last stop for all four routes travelling towards the bus station would remain unchanged.

CLE Latin Club: Guest Speaker Katherine Wasdin on Women in the Ancient World and Poetry
2021-12-13 Pageviews:595
The sixth session of the CLE Latin club was held on December 8th with a presentation by guest speaker Professor Katherine Wasdin on the topic "Women in the Ancient World and Poetry." Prof. Wasdin is a professor of Classics at the University of Maryland; her research interests include Latin poetry, Greek poetry, and the ancient world's reception. Although the lesson was delivered online via Zoom, a large number of students preferred to attend in person with Latin club coordinator Yang Luo.
Prof. Wasdin began the first hour by introducing typical living conditions for women in antiquity through literary works and archaeological evidence. She next turned her attention to Catullus's love poetry, examining how a male author portrayed women from a patriarchal perspective. The talk concluded with a spirited Q&A session during which members of the Latin club raised several remarkable and in-depth inquiries concerning ancient life. It was encouraging to see the participants' enthusiasm in the discussion their questions as the clock ticked beyond 21:30.
More talks on ancient languages, literature and history will be held by the CLE Latin Club. Please stay tuned!

Le Concerto pour flûte et orchestre est une pièce composée par Edison Denisov en 1975 et créée par la flûtiste Aurèle Nicolet, à qui l'œuvre est dédiée, à Dresde en 1976 sous la direction de Hans-Peter Frank.

Composition
La mort de Dmitri Chostakovitch, en août 1975, intervient lors de la composition du troisième mouvement. Denisov a confié dans un entretien que la nouvelle du décès de Chostakovitch a très probablement eu une influence sur l'écriture de ce mouvement et que c'est peut-être "[...] la raison pour laquelle [la musique] s'est avérée si triste et même quelque peu tristement expressive.".

Instrumentation

Parmi les concertos de Denisov, celui-ci se distingue par sa formation de chambre ainsi que par l'absence des bois dans l'orchestre, excepté le groupe de trois clarinettes. Ainsi, tous les instruments sont considérés comme des solistes indépendants, même les cordes.

Analyse
Ce concerto se compose de quatre mouvements : Adagio - Allegro agitato - Andante - Adagio

Les quatre mouvements forment un ensemble homogène tant dans le matériau musical que dans la forme. En effet, toute la musique découle de la même série dodécaphonique, exposée dès les premières mesures par la harpe, la flûte et le vibraphone. Les quatre parties sont également liées par un concept dramatique général dans lequel le premier mouvement sert d'exposition globale du cycle, le deuxième de développement et le quatrième est une sorte de reprise.

L'écriture de la flûte soliste est très virtuose, en particulier dans les sections de cadenza qui représentent un condensé de toutes les nouvelles techniques et modes de jeu pour la flûte à l'époque (slap, flatterzunge, glissando, bisbigliendo, multiphonique, micro-intervalles, sons de clés). Ces passages particulièrement difficiles ont été introduits à la demande du dédicataire et créateur de l'œuvre, Aurèle Nicolet. Denisov était également intéressé par ces nouvelles techniques mais il les considère comme décoratives, le mélodisme étant de premier plan dans ce concerto.

Une analyse approfondie de la partition révèle la présence de rébus musicaux, non triviaux, qui jouent un rôle important dans la dramaturgie interne de l'œuvre. On y trouve symboliquement représentés le nom de Denisov et celui d'une femme dont il était épris ainsi que le motif BACH et le motif DSCH

Discographie
 Orchestre symphonique du ministère de la Culture d'URSS, Dmitri Denisov, dirigé par Guennadi Rojdestvenski, concert enregistré le 6 février 1990 à Moscou (Melodya, 1990).

At last! A Full 'Downton Abbey' Movie Trailer! Huzzah!
Posted by Sierra McCleary-Harris | May 21, 2019 | Entertainment, First Look, Movies, Series | 0
It's been almost a year since fans learned that a Downton Abbey film was in the works. We've been biding our time and patiently waiting, and finally — finally! — the official trailer is here.
Slated for release on Sept. 20, the film from Focus Features is directed by Michael Engler and written by Julian Fellowes. After a lot of initial speculation, most of the original cast is returning for the film, including Hugh Bonneville (Robert Crawley), Laura Carmichael (Lady Edith), Jim Carter (Carson), Brendan Coyle (Bates), Michelle Dockery (Lady Mary), Joanne Froggatt (Anna), Robert James-Collier (Thomas), Allen Leech (Tom), Elizabeth McGovern (Cora Crawley), Tuppence Middleton (Lucy), Dame Maggie Smith (Dowager Countess), and more. Whew.
Set roughly a year after the series' end, the movie centers on a pending visit — of the royal variety— to Downton. Mhmm, yes: King George and Queen Mary are making a somewhat surprise visit, and the cast is all aflutter as they try to ready the manor.
Mrs. Pattmore says it best in the trailer:
A royal luncheon, a parade, and a dinner?! I'm going to have to sit down!
Same, girl. Same. Between the Dowager Countess' sarcasm and Lady Mary and Carson's adorable friendship, it's hard to choose a favorite part of the trailer. That's too much pressure. What I do know is that September cannot get here soon enough.
Take a look at the full official trailer below.
If you now have all the feels and *need* more Downton in your life, you're in luck! To celebrate the trailer's release, Fellowes held a Q&A on Twitter this morning, answering fans questions about the film and sharing some of his personal faves. He artfully (and rather disappointingly) dodged the more scandalous questions, but you get a bit of insight nonetheless. Check out a sampling below, and head to Twitter to see more.
Hello, Julian Fellowes here. Hope you enjoyed the trailer. Excited to answer all your #DowntonAbbeyFilm questions. #AskJulianFellowes pic.twitter.com/VQZCP6kGkP

I think Sybil because she was the first to die and the first of the running cast to leave the series. It was very emotional, they filmed her last scene and everyone was in sobs. When she died, I cried, but I said to myself, "What did you think was going to happen? You wrote it." https://t.co/X7mt6akGdZ
I got interested in history when I was really young, and because I was young, a lot of people were still alive. My eldest great aunt was born in 1880, I talked to her about life before WW1. I'm fortunate because I had information from these times, which would be hard to get now. https://t.co/d8Lm7IpvOh
Well people always ask, and I never tell. I think it's like asking a mother who's their favorite child, and I don't think it's right to say a preference. They are all my babies and I love them all equally. #AskJulianFellowes https://t.co/tBgiz0RKC1

Creed Frontman Scott Stapp Sober Again After Adderall-Induced Meltdowns

Looking far healthier than he did during his highly publicized meltdown at the end of last year, former Creed frontman Scott Stapp has acknowledged that he relapsed on prescription drugs and that his drug abuse sparked psychotic episodes.
Stapp was placed on an involuntary 72-hour psych hold last November after police found him drunk and rambling incoherently. His psychosis became so intense that he became convinced he had been programmed by the CIA and would comb through airports looking for suspicious cars. Only now has he come clean by admitting that he lied to a doctor last year about his past battles with substance abuse in order to get a prescription for Adderall.
"I didn't want to return to street drugs, and so I deceived myself and knowingly went in to see a doctor," he told ABC's Nightline. "I was so out of my mind, delusional, turned on everyone that I loved, made wild and crazy accusations about my wife. I thought I was being followed by the government, I mean, it was a manic paranoid, psychotic episode. I was driving around with ... a 12-gauge shotgun in my lap. And I thought that people were trying to kill me."
Eventually, Stapp was taking double the legal dosage of Adderall at 120 milligrams per day, which led to experiencing hallucinations. After his wife, Jaclyn, found out about his drug use, she kicked him out of their home.
Stapp checked into a hotel and tried quitting cold turkey, which is when he began having psychotic episodes. He acknowledged that the 15-minute video he posted on Facebook last November, in which he claimed that he was broke after people stole money from him, had "no basis in reality" and that he was battling manic psychosis at the time.
"Everything that I thought, I believed in the bottom of my heart," said Stapp. "Your delusion has told you that you have no money, you have no home, you have no family and everyone that you love has been trying to harm you, and you believe it."
He is now sober and receiving treatment for both his drug addiction and bipolar disorder. Jaclyn filed for divorce last November, but the pair have since reconciled and he has moved back into their Florida home.
"There is hope," said Stapp. "When I'm with this woman, I feel like there's always hope, and she's teaching me what real love is and I'm just very thankful for that."
