Three key elements to effective strategy deployment: How Maplewood drives strategy to the front line
"Posted it on the website" = "Put it on a Shelf"?
ARTICLE | Jun 13, 2019
by Kevin Knutson
Envisio City of Maplewood Logo.jpg
You've assessed the issues and needs of your community. Your board or council has met and gained consensus on a direction and goals. You've designed a beautiful plan document and posted it to your website. And then you find out: "posted it to your website" is the 21st Century equivalent of "put it on a shelf."
The biggest hurdles local governments face in strategic planning come after the plan is published. How do we get the organization aligned with the priorities and goals identified in the plan? How do we ensure that frontline staff knows how their efforts help achieve corporate outcomes and the organization's mission? And most importantly, how do we know that our investment will help produce the results we want?
The City of Maplewood, Minnesota tackled this problem head-on and discovered three important tactics toward fully deploying the strategic plan: engaging all stakeholders, having a reporting framework, and sharing progress with the community.
Goal-Setting as a Management Exercise
Shortly after Melinda Coleman took the reins as city manager in 2015, Mike Funk joined the City of Maplewood as assistant city manager and director of human resources. Their first priority was building the city's strategic plan.
"We sat down with the City Council for a day-long retreat. At that time, we had more of a focus on goal-setting rather than strategy," Mike explained. The discussion stayed among the senior leaders in the organization, however. "In fact, later when we asked our staff members what was in the strategic plan, many did not know that we even had one."
Tracking progress towards goals was another challenge. "As we all know, cities are data rich, but we weren't using our data. We were using action steps and trying to report on those. Our strategic plan was spread out across 36 elongated Excel spreadsheets and it was really just a lot of words. We did not have performance measures. We did not have charts and graphs, and we didn't talk about starting places or end places. That all made reporting difficult," explained Mike.
There had to be a better way.
"We wanted to make sure we got buy-in for our plan throughout all levels of the organization. We also knew that we needed to get beyond annual reporting. We weren't able to really gauge if we were on target when we looked at the data just once a year," said Mike. "After 2016, we knew that we were not putting our best foot forward on the strategic plan. That's when we first started working with Envisio."
The City of Maplewood adopted Envisio to keep their strategic plan on track and to help them collect, analyze and visualize city data to better inform decisions. The city management team also planned to roll out a public dashboard to showcase their progress to residents.
Element 1: Engage Stakeholders in Planning
In their next round of strategic planning, Maplewood went beyond just consulting with the council to include all stakeholders, starting with residents.
"We did a community-wide survey to help us really get an understanding of the community," Mike explained. Lois Knutson, who works with Mike and Melinda as administrative services and performance measurement coordinator, used that feedback from residents to support extensive planning meetings with six department heads, 40 supervisors and many of the city's 170 full-time employees.
According to Lois, "We had parks and maintenance staff, for example, sitting at the table with us creating action steps that feed into our performance measures and, ultimately, our key outcomes."
This time, when Mike and Melinda arrived at the City Council retreat, they were empowered with community feedback, a list of key outcomes indicators, supporting performance measures and a staff action plan—all aligned to help achieve the six City Council priorities.
Mayor Marylee Abrams commented on the city's new strategic plan, "It's our roadmap on where our city is headed. I think it brings the community into the decision-making of the city so that they can see clearly what it is that we're doing and why we're doing it."
They also knew that the strategic plan couldn't hide in spreadsheets anymore. They sought out a centralized strategy and performance management solution.
Today, employees at all levels track their progress on actions and initiatives in personal, color-coded dashboards. Blue means 'completed,' green 'in progress,' yellow 'some disruption,' and so on. They receive email reminders to help them stay on track and ensure they make regular performance updates.
"Every day everybody comes in and they have a playbook to go by," said Melinda. "I think that actually helps employees feel good about coming to work and about the work that they're doing."
Lois explained how centralized performance management is also helping to break down department silos: "There has been more of a common focus among our departments. The breakdown of silos has really created more teamwork and camaraderie amongst our departments."
Element 2: Regular Reporting to Maintain Focus on Strategic Priorities
Mike described the importance of progress tracking throughout the year to support better decisions and maintain focus on their six strategic priorities: "Reporting is really important and one of the biggest advantages of using software to manage strategy execution. We set up quarterly reports that are automatically generated and sent out to our department heads. They use them at staff meetings, and it helps keep us all focused."
Reports are also generated for city council meetings to provide updates on action items in context with strategic priorities. "It helps City Council stay focused, especially when there might be road projects or other capital equipment purchases on the agenda," said Mike. "It helps us counsel and remind them what our priorities are to keep us thinking strategically."
Element 3: Build Community Trust with Online Dashboards
Maplewood residents can visit their public dashboard online to stay abreast of the outstanding work that city employees are doing for the community.
"One of the hallmarks of our City Council is that they want to be transparent," emphasized Melinda. "Envisio allows us to report to our community and our residents on what we're doing. It allows us to tell our story and show that we're being good stewards of their resources."
Envisio Community Outreach Hours Graph.png
Lois shared an example of a key outcome indicator in action, providing transparency to City Council and residents:
"About 32% of our community is from a diverse background. So, we want to make a real effort to make those people feel included as part of our city. To support our 'community inclusiveness' priority, the police department in 2018 had a goal of spending a combined total of 672 hours doing volunteer outreach in the community. We can see from our data that they actually spent over 1,000 hours working at different public events within our community!"
While there have been bumps in the road, the journey for Maplewood's management team has been well worth the resulting outcomes. Today, the City of Maplewood has reached new maturity levels in city performance and analytics, operational effectiveness, employee morale, transparency and public trust.
Mayor Marylee Abrams commented on the City's new inclusive and transparent approach to planning, performance management and reporting:
"I think it means everything to our community that they can trust that their elected officials are making the very best decisions, and that those decisions are transparent, that there is a foundation for them, that they are part of the strategic goals that we've set for our city, and we know exactly what it is that we're accomplishing."

The Bottom Line: Effective Deployment Requires Good Communication
The common theme running through these practices is frequent, open, and meaningful communication. First, by involving your residents, businesses, and staff in conversation about the direction of the community and organization, you've opened a dialogue that results in a plan that includes their perspectives. Second, frequent and robust reporting allows individuals to understand how their activities are supporting the overall direction. And lastly, publicizing the progress and achievement of goals on a public dashboard helps close the loop and provide transparency into the process.
Your plan will go from sitting on "the shelf" to a living document that influences daily decision-making.

Innovation… For What?
In the eight years I have collaborated with the Alliance for Innovation, I have lost count of how many times I have had the "what is innovation?" conversation with fellow members and colleagues from dozens of city and county organizations.
Public Safety Utilization Measurement
Request: Our Fire Department is looking for a way to quantify member's time engaged in activities throughout the day. We would like to determine a good way to measure 'utilization' and determine what is a reasonable expectation for shift fire employees. We want to make sure our employees (and units) are not over-taxed, potentially impacting their ability to respond, or negatively affecting their capacity to respond effectively.
Racial Equity Budgeting Tools
Request: I'm currently working on a research project for City Council on cities/counties/special districts/states that are using a racial equity instrument in their budgeting process.
Request: A county is working to implement an ISO 14001 program. One of the program initiatives involves how the County handles its electronic waste. To further sustainability, they would like to inquire what are the best practices for a local government to dispose/sell its electronic waste, and supporting processes. If there are any solicitation or notice language what is the best in class to utilize.

After years of R&D, Gabe Wolff has created a recipe and product that satisfies growing consumer demand for healthy and allergen-free foods. Here's the story of how he and his team are taking the frozen market by storm with Wink Frozen Desserts.
I was diagnosed with celiac disease and a dairy allergy at 17 just before heading off to college. While I attended McGill University in Canada I struggled to find a satisfying dairy free ice cream that didn't do damage to my diet, so I started experimenting in my dorm kitchen. For years, I kept tweaking the recipe until it satisfied my sweet tooth and my checklist.
My inspiration comes from a variety of sources. My father (who has since passed away) had a sense of hard work, determination, and dedication to his family that are always present in my mind. This keeps me working hard 10-16 hours per day. Our customers are what keep me going even in the face of criticism—knowing that we're helping a mom whose kids have food allergies, a family that's plagued with diabetes, or even a fitness gurus who wants to indulge without ruining their macros—we're helping people enjoy dessert without worry.
What's been your road to success and critical success factors along the way?
Our team is young and agile. We've made our share of mistakes along the road, but we bounce back and adjust quickly. We each have our individual focuses, but we come together as a team. Sometimes I need extra hands for production, sometimes we all need to hop on the phone and make sales calls. We're all in and willing to prioritize things for the benefit of the team and ultimately our company.
Initially it seemed like a great idea to sell through the internet. No distributors or stores to deal with, just right to our customer. Now that we've made the connections and have product in store freezers we realize that getting into stores is more convenient and cost effective for our customer. Yes, our online store is still growing and some people prefer that route, but we didn't really think about going to stores in the early stage of things.
What's your best piece of advice for fellow entrepreneurs?
Don't be afraid to ask questions from those that have come before you, and don't be afraid to ask for help from your support system. I was nervous to tell people about my endeavor because I didn't want them to think I was asking them for something. It turns out, when you do ask, 98 percent of the time your family and friends do want to help you.
Where are you going? What is the vision for your business?
In two years we'd like to be in as many major retailers in the U.S. as possible. This includes a product line expansion that we're currently working on, as well as other allergy-friendly and healthy goods in the pipeline. In five years we'd like to expand a good amount of our product line outside the U.S., specifically to our Canadian customers. In 10 years, we hope to be a recognizable brand that people can trust throughout the world. We would like to work with other companies that are creating allergy and diet friendly foods, creating some really cool, innovative products. Oh, and I'd like to go on my honeymoon at some point in time - sorry Mrs. Wink!
How did you land your first retail account?
Our first retailer was Get Healthy America out on Long Island in New York. A customer was ordering through our website that loved to shop at Get Healthy America and asked the owner about carrying us. We delivered our first package to that store in a box on dry ice in our Prius. That's how we delivered to our first handful of retail accounts in NYC. Since then, our distributors regularly deliver Wink in freezer trucks, giving our poor Prius some needed rest.
How do you position your products in mass, natural and online?
In mass markets, we're seen as a "diet friendly" product since the whole pint is only 100 calories. The allergy-conscious community (the community I personally identify with) seeks out Wink for our unique ingredients as well- and the community is bigger than most mass chains realize. We also tap into the diabetic community on the mass scale. In the natural space, we're the plant-based option that's much lower in fat, sugar and calories than other vegan options. We find the dairy-free, sugar-sensitive individuals who want a sweet treat and focus a fair amount of our attention on them. Our online customer is a mixture of all of the above - the diabetics, the dairy-free, the allergy-conscious. It's a great mixed bag of support, and that's a position that we love to be in.
How do you develop relationships with retailers and educate them about your company's story?
We're typically introduced to retailers in one of two ways. The first way is when a customer requests our product at their favorite store, then either the store reaches out to us or the customer lets us know and we work with the retailer directly. The second way is being thirsty sharks—calling store managers, e-mailing category buyers, and just generally bugging the decision makers nonstop until they hear what we have to say. Our Sales Director, Kunal, and I fly to as many meetings as humanly possible, telling the decision makers about the value proposition we offer. So far, the mix has worked!
In the beginning, I would say two things helped our marketing tactics. The first would be word of mouth. I was literally giving pints to friends who were lactose intolerant and other friends of mine. The second was Jordan, our marketing director, reaching out to some influential members of food allergy communities and providing them with samples. The combination allowed us to establish a core base of customers which then expanded through shared values and interests with other individuals.
What's the inside "scoop" on yourself.
I need to eat about 5,000 calories per day, otherwise I become terribly hangry (angry with hunger)...Mrs. Wink doesn't like when I'm hangry!


UPS is renting out hundreds of U-Haul trucks across the county as it faces mounting pressure to deliver packages on time ahead of Christmas.
The trucks are a "cost-effective way to expand our delivery fleet," UPS spokesman Brian Hughes told Business Insider.
He said it's common for UPS to rent additional trucks during the holidays.
The UPS-driven U-Haul trucks have been spotted rolling through neighborhoods across the country, and in some cases they have caused some alarm.
Edward Jones analyst Brian Yarbrough told Business Insider that he was a little concerned when he saw a U-Haul truck park outside his house recently. He said he kept an eye on the driver as he emerged from the truck and pulled a package out of the back, before realizing he was a UPS worker.
In Louisville, Kentucky, some people started calling 911 after spotting U-Haul trucks near their homes, WDRB.com reports.
Residents said they were worried that criminals could be dressing as UPS drivers to fool them into opening their doors.
Concern escalated when rumors circulated online claiming terrorists were using UPS uniforms to deliver bombs, according to WDRB.
Hughes said customers can distinguish UPS drivers by their brown uniforms and electronic clipboards that record delivery information.
UPS is expanding its truck fleet as it faces an unexpected surge in online purchases this year that's resulting in some shipping delays.
"We're seeing it first-hand all over the place, at least in the New York area, that there are at least slight shipping delays," Nasdaq analyst Jonathan Eyl told Business Insider.
Many customers are complaining about delayed shipments on social media.
"My packages have been sitting sitting six miles away for nine days," one customer wrote on UPS's Facebook page.
Another customer wrote: "They lied that my package was on the truck and would be delivered every day this week by 7 p.m. Come to find out it never went at all. Now it's the weekend and I still don't have package and they closed."
UPS has been responding to nearly every customer complaint on Facebook by asking them to email their tracking numbers so the company can investigate.
The company hired up to 95,000 extra workers this season to help manage the holiday rush, in addition to renting additional trucks.

Quorum hospital declares closure hours after sale announcement
Alyssa Rege - Monday, July 30th, 2018 Print	| Email
A rural Tennessee hospital announced plans to close July 27, the same day its parent company, Brentwood, Tenn.-based Quorum Health, revealed plans to sell the facility.
Quorum Health revealed plans to sell 45-bed McKenzie Regional Hospital to Memphis-based Baptist Memorial Health Care July 27. However, McKenzie Regional officials said later the same day it will discontinue most patient services, including its emergency department, by Sept. 15, and will begin reducing inpatient admissions during the coming weeks.
Once the hospital closes, Baptist Health Care will operate the facility as an outpatient diagnostic imaging center and sleep center. The health system will also transition ambulance services to another provider.
Hospital leadership met with the roughly 200 physicians and staff July 27 to discuss transition plans. Employees will receive assistance from the hospital to find opportunities with other regional employers, and will continue to receive pay and benefits until Sept. 29.
"It has been our privilege to care for this community and we are extremely grateful to our dedicated team of employees, nurses, physicians, volunteers and board members for their tireless service to our patients and their families. Most of all, we are grateful to our neighbors and friends for allowing us to serve as your trusted healthcare resource for more than 40 years," said McKenzie Regional CEO Michael Morrical in a prepared statement.
McKenzie Regional's closure reflects a national trend of rural hospitals closing due to falling admissions and declines in revenue. Officials noted patients will have access to care at nearby facilities, including 70-bed Baptist Memorial Hospital-Huntingdon (Tenn.), 10 miles away from McKenzie Regional, and Paris, Tenn.-based Henry County Medical Center, a 142-bed facility 15 miles away from McKenzie Regional.

An Improbable Business: PW Talks with Padgett Powell
By Lee Griffith |
In You & Me, two old men argue on a front porch "somewhere between Bakersfield, California, and Jacksonville, Florida." But the real setting is Padgett Powell's head.
Where'd you find these two men?
I had no visualization. As characters, these two boys are not really distinguished from one another. They don't have names for a reason. They're just convenient position takers, taking somewhat oppositional positions in order to keep talking—more or less in the way that friends do. I tend to call this book a monologue as opposed to a dialogue because their positions are so suspiciously and conveniently similar. It is one mind having a little argument.
Is the book autobiographical?
The latest books are getting rather close to the bone, no doubt about it. Perhaps the openness of the voices relieves You & Me of a certain predictability and the accusation of autobiography. Nonetheless, it is. Mrs. Hollingsworth's Men was the beginning of a rather, probably unfortunate, series of steps into autobiography. I kind of wish I had never weakened so, but I did.
Why do you regret it?
Well, they're kind of painful books. Mrs. Hollingsworth's Men was a sufficiently surreal text, so I began ladling on to one of the characters some things that are true about me and my father. After you do that, you're worn out. You feel bad. You kind of wish you hadn't said that stuff. Not because you've said bad things about people, but because you've been guilty finally of that thing that writers get accused of—that thing, prior to that, that you had the wit not to do. You feel bad for being indiscreet.
You & Me is concerned not only with what one makes of a life, but also how one ends it. Are you afraid to die? Are you afraid to commit suicide?
My personal position is that, before you get into the drool circle, you ought to be prepared to kill yourself. However, I'm beginning to see how everyone becomes too terrified to do that. Everyone clings. I used to think that I would be a nonclinger, that I had balls. But then, several years ago, I had a pit bull that was beginning to lose it, beginning to degrade, beginning to be an old man. And I thought, hell, before I hire a vet to put him down and throw him in the Dumpster, I'm going to feed this dog a steak and put him on a sit command next to a hole, and shoot him. Like a man. Well, I had just begun to realize that I really wasn't going to have the nuts to do that when the savior stepped in. A bobcat or a cougar came into the yard and ate that dog—a little bit. That saved me from learning the hard way that I wasn't going to have it in me to sit this dog down and shoot him. Unless you're Hemingway, you're going to wimp out.
I've got maybe half a book. It's the zaniest and stupidest thing I've ever come up with. It's got Ted Turner, Andrew Lytle, and Vanna White, and it's an improbable bit of business. And I don't know if it's going to be sustainable or not.
One of the old men in You & Me says that the words get better as one gets older. Do they?
One hopes.

Jeffrey immediately likes the restaurant, Salute, which is nothing but an old porch built right out on the beach, open to the ocean and the huge pink sky, which goes on and on and on. Jeffrey has never seen so much sky. "Very Key West!" his mother announces, as a personage in a kind of robe (Jeffrey can't tell if it is a boy or a girl) shows them to their table by the rail. Personage is a word from Jeffrey's vocabulary book. He follows his mother and her friend, slipping between the tables, the Invisible Boy. Each table has a different kind of cloth on it, and different chairs. Some people are barefoot, and some are dressed up. A girl at the table behind them wears a string halter. A man at the table next to theirs has a big bird just sitting on his shoulder. The bird swivels its head almost all the way around to watch them take their seats, Jeffrey and his mother, Dar, and her friend from the conference, Lindsay.

Press Release - 3.01.16
SADDLE UP WITH SMALL TOWN SHERIFF JAMES GARNER, AS getTV PRESENTS THE LEGENDARY FINALE OF THE RARELY SEEN CLASSIC 1971 WESTERN SERIES NICHOLS ON SATURDAY, MARCH 5 AT 5:45 p.m. ET
The Special Event, Famous for its Shocking and Unconventional Storyline, will Air as Part of the Network's Popular "Saturday Showdown" Westerns Block
CULVER CITY, CA – Tuesday, March 1, 2016 – Ride off into the sunset with getTV, as the network presents the legendary finale of the classic 1971 James Garner series NICHOLS, on Saturday, March 5, at 5:45 p.m. ET/2:45 p.m. PT. The series, which also stars Margot Kidder and Stuart Margolin, airs as part of the network's popular "Saturday Showdown" weekend block, a special block highlighting seven rarely seen Western series including THE TALL MAN, with Clu Gulager; WHISPERING SMITH, starring Audie Murphy; and LAREDO, starring Neville Brand, among others.
NICHOLS originally premiered on September 16, 1971, and stars Garner as a man looking for a fresh start in a small Arizona town in the early 1900s. Having left an 18-year career in the military, Garner's titular hero finds himself blackmailed into the role of town sheriff by the villainous Ketcham clan, who run the town. Riding a motorcycle instead of a horse, and forsaking guns in favor of more peaceful resolutions, the newly-crowned lawman takes on bandits, manages town bullies and woos beautiful barmaid Margot Kidder, in an early role. Created by Oscar®-winning screenwriter Frank Pierson (DOG DAY AFTERNOON, COOL HAND LUKE, MAD MEN), with episodes directed by such notables as John Badham and Ivan Dixon, Nichols also starred Garner's future ROCKFORD FILES co-star Stuart Margolin and featured such notable guests as Tom Skerritt, Scatman Crothers, and Ricardo Montalban.
In the 1972 finale, titled "All In The Family," the series famously took an unconventional approach, killing off the main character early on. Unsure of the show's future, and looking for a way to revamp the tone to fit a more traditional Western style without recasting and retitling the program, the producers chose to have the pacifist protagonist gunned down by a local troublemaker. Following the shocking demise, the show would deliver one final twist, introducing Nichols' violent identical twin Jim—also played by Gardner, sporting a mustache—who arrived in town to avenge his brother's death. (A clip of this moment is available here: https://bit.ly/Nichols_Finale.)
Photos of the series can be downloaded here: https://bit.ly/Nichols_Images
Despite all of this, the show failed to find a audience and was cancelled shortly before the finale aired. 45 years later, the show is widely remembered as a forgotten classic, and is well-known for being one of Garner's favorite television roles.
For a complete schedule of films and times, visit www.get.tv/schedule. In addition to airing these films on the dates noted above, some of the movies mentioned are scheduled for further broadcasts throughout the month. (See listings for further details.)

A large supply of crude oil from other areas means that a slowdown in refining on the Gulf Coast after Harvey didn't cause prices to rise.
Shell's Appomattox production platform - an offshore oil rig set to extract crude oil from the Appomattox oil field in the Gulf of Mexico.
Hurricane season is officially underway, and with major refineries dotting the Gulf Coast shoreline, the energy industry is particularly vulnerable to damage from a major storm like last year's Harvey. Hurricane season runs from June 1 through the end of October, so energy producers face a long period of risk. But not all risks are created equal.
Matt Smith, director of commodity research for ClipperData, says that storm activity is likely to begin during the second half of August – around Hurricane Harvey's one-year anniversary. He says the storm surges will affect facilities that process oil and gasoline very differently.
Because of the shale oil boom in west Texas and elsewhere, Smith says, prices for oil are lower, disincentivizing drillers from looking for more in the Gulf. Less than 5 percent of natural gas production in the U.S. is currently coming from the Gulf. It's less than 20 percent for crude oil.
"We saw oil prices drop because the refineries were knocked out and that limited demand for crude," Smith says about production after Hurricane Harvey.
However, the natural gas industry had the opposite problem during last year's storm eason.
Due to an increase in violent storms, meteorologists are considering the possibility of a Category 6 hurricane. But Smith says that's just hypothetical.

Two Queens and two future Queens hung out at the royal family's 2019 Garter Day

Danielle Gay
Queen Letizia of Spain and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands were spotted hanging out with future Queen consorts, the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duchess of Cambridge.
What does it look like when four Queens hang out? The royal family's annual event, Garter Day, gave us an insight overnight, and the answer is, it's incredibly chic.
The King and Queen of Spain, as well as the King and Queen of the Netherlands, joined senior members of the British royal family overnight at an event called Garter Day. The day is a centuries-old event celebrating the Order of the Garter Ceremony, where new appointments into the Order are made. This year, members of the royal family gathered in Windsor for the ceremony, which involves a members being invested into the Order as recognition for their public service.
During the day, two of our favourite royals, the Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Cornwall, were seen hanging out with two very special guests – Queen Letizia of Spain and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands. The gathering of this group of royals was especially noteworthy considering both the Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Cornwall will one day be Queens themselves – since both their husbands are heir apparent, they'll both one day be crowned Queen Consort (the term used to describe the partner of a reigning monarch).
The Duchess of Cambridge wore a new coat dress for the occasion, choosing a black and white Catherine Walker look for the event. Together, the four incredibly stylish women were seen chatting outside Windsor Castle and sharing a laugh together.

Both Queen Letizia of Spain and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands were invited to watch on as their husbands, King Felipe VI of Spain and King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands respectively, were invested as Supernumerary Knights of the Garter.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge joined The Queen and Members of the Royal Family to attend this year's Order of the Garter service in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. The Order of the Garter is the oldest and most senior Order of Chivalry in Britain, established by King Edward III nearly 700 years ago. The Order includes The Queen, who is Sovereign of the Garter, The Duke of Cambridge and several senior Members of the Royal Family, and twenty-four knights or ladies chosen in recognition of their work. Knights of the Garter are chosen personally by the Sovereign to honour those who have held public office, who have contributed in a particular way to national life or who have served the Sovereign personally. Supernumerary, or 'Stranger' Knights, are overseas monarchs appointed to the Order, and are in addition to the twenty-four knights or ladies — The King of Spain and The King of the Netherlands attended this year's Garter Day service, during which they were installed as Supernumerary Knights of the Garter. Earlier in the day The Queen held a private Investiture in the Garter Throne Room at Windsor Castle, where Lady Mary Peters was invested with the Order's insignia by Her Majesty. During their visit to Northern Ireland in February, The Duke and Duchess congratulated @Olympics gold medallist Lady Mary on her appointment to the Order of the Garter. 📷 Kensington Palace/PA @TheRoyalFamily @koninklijkhuis #GarterDay #WindsorCastle

Queen Elizabeth II, who is Sovereign of the Garter, was pictured in her traditional grand velvet robes for the event, which as per the royal family's website, includes "glistening insignia and plumed hats." The website also says it is "one of the most traditional ceremonies in The Queen's calendar."
The Sussexes weren't in attendance at the event, given the Duchess of Sussex is on maternity leave and Prince Harry is not yet a Knight of the Order of the Garter. Prince William was invested in 2008, likely given his closer proximity in the lineage to the throne. It is expected that Prince Harry will be invested once his father, Prince Charles, becomes King, so we can expect to see the Sussexes at this special royal event one day!

It's been forty-five years since I've recalled the memories of my past life.
I had finally become an adult in this world, but I couldn't help but be dissatisfied with my appearance in the mirror.
"…am I really fifty years old?"
I still only looked like a thirteen year old, Earthwise.
I looked like I was still in my first year of junior high.
I'd surely grow taller from here on, but at the moment I still had the appearance of a child.
The surrounding servants were crying.
Brian in particular was bawling his eyes out.
"T-this Brian here never thought he'd live long enough to see Lord Liam grow into an adult!"
"Stop crying already. Amagi, what's the plan for today?"
Amagi answered me with the same tone as usual,
"The coming of age ceremony will be held one hour from now. The main celebration will be at noon, but we also have an after-party planned for the evening."
Brian wiped his tears and added on,
"By the way, tomorrow's schedule is similarly packed from morning to evening as well."
For the next month, it looks like things were going to get pretty busy.
"I don't want to do all that!"
"Unfortunately, you have to."
At Brian's cold reply, Amagi followed up to scold me,
"Master, we have to hurry if we want to be there on time, you know you can't just stay in your room all day."
"…I understand, but don't rush me."
We left the room for the ceremony's venue as I complained. You see, after I had returned from the capital, we immediately went to work on building the new estate.
The mansion that I splurged on was far bigger than I could've ever imagined.
If I were to compare it to something in my previous life, maybe it was the size of a small town?
I called in a famous architect and gave them an extraordinary budget.
As I thought about how we had to drive a vehicle to just get through the corridors, the true amount of money I wasted really dawned on me.
As I left the room, Christiana was there standing guard.
While wearing a uniform befitting of a female knight, she seems to have been waiting for me.
"Lord Liam, you look truly dashing today."
I looked over my sloppy uniform that she complimented.
Well, at least she knows how to flatter her superiors.
Still, what's this feeling? I can't help but feel like she's watching me with an unsettling intensity.
…it's probably just my imagination.
"Oh yeah, are you sure you're okay to be working right now?"
According to the hospital's report, she was someone who volunteered to become a knight after completing a tear-inducing level of rehabilitation in the short period of one year.
"There's no problem, but I still have to leave the territory temporarily to get my official knight-license. It's a pity that I won't be able to serve by your side for a time."
Christiana- Tia, was a foreigner.
Therefore, she didn't have the qualifications to be a knight of the Empire.
She still needs to graduate from two different academies first to do so.
With training and conditioning added on to that, she probably won't be able to return to service for more than thirty years.
"In any case, things will be busy for me after I become an adult, and it's not like you'll be gone forever so everything should be fine, right?"
The vehicle started moving after everyone sat down.
Relaxing on the luxurious seats, Tia spoke up,
"If it's for Lord Liam's sake, then I will always strive for the best results."
"Well, as long as you're fine with that."
She seemed to be strangely motivated, but in truth I only hired her for her appearance.
Apparently she used to be some famous knight in another country, but I appointed her as my vassal because of how beautiful she was.
The most important thing for me was her appearance.
Bringing me one step closer to the 'luxurious feast' of my dreams.
Brian, who was still ignorant of my ambitions, expressed his admiration,
"We finally have some knights who have sworn fealty to Lord Liam, so we can rest assured that the house will be safe."
All of the Banfield knights and vassals of previous generations had abandoned us because of how low the house had fallen.
But recently, more knights have started pledging their loyalty to me after hearing about my successes.
I wasn't that interested in it though, so I left it all to Amagi and Tia.
Though if they were a beautiful woman, I made sure to hire them.
We could finally see our destination in the distance, but it would still take us some time to get there.
"…we made it too big."
I regretted building the estate so vast.
I did invest quite a bit into it, but this is more than I could've ever imagined.
Well, it was amazing to look at and it quite satisfied me.
But the mansion I lived in before was more than enough.
Everything was just made to be too grandiose.
You really can't underestimate the technology of a universe that has already reached the space age.
It's true that I wanted to give off a rich appeal by making something big, but this was just too much.
However, if I wanted to be considered an Evil Lord in the future, then I'd have to at least go this much overboard.
Villains are always supposed to live in big and flashy lairs after all.
The ceremony venue.
The merchant- Thomas, couldn't hide his surprise at the newly constructed estate.
"How do I put it, he has surprisingly good taste."
Nias, who was there went on to agree with Thomas's opinion,
"It seems to focus on functionality so it has my seal of approval. I heard that it was somewhat egg-shaped, but it actually doesn't look that bad."
The coming of age ceremony had gathered a large amount people there.
Because the estate was also recently completed, it also worked as a chance to show off the new building.
From the populace's point of view, Liam's residence was actually built quite humbly.
Disregarding its size, it's appearance was just really plain.
It was a simple, well-designed house created by a renowned architect.
While many nobles went on to build strange and flashy houses, Liam's home seemed to have been built with an emphasis on functionality.
Certainly it was large, but that was something given for the lord's personal mansion.
The structure itself was very simple and calming.
"Finally, a residence fit for a Count has arrived, or maybe this is the only justifiable result now that the territory has bounced back? Or should I say that this is a Lord Liam-like development? He still hasn't changed despite all the rewards he's received, and here I thought he was going to build an estate of solid-gold or something."
"I heard he invested quite a fortune into it, but I have to say that I admire his decision to pursue functionality over form."
Both Thomas and Nias were impressed with the residence.
Nias shrugged her shoulders, looking around at the surroundings,
"In any case, it looks like this has become quite the big deal, even representatives from the other weapon factories are here."
The majority of the participants were the locals.
Officers and decorated soldiers were in attendance as well.
Other than that, there was a multitude of merchants, many of them being agents from the imperial weapon factories.
'I can do a lot of business here,' or 'I can buy a lot of products here,'- there were many people in attendance with those mindsets.
Thomas dropped his shoulders,
"On the other hand, there are quite a few anxious-looking nobles as well."
The Banfield house did send out invitations to the nearby lords, but there were even nobles participating from far-away territories.
Nias exasperatedly said that it couldn't be helped,
"To the nobles in the surrounding area, this is the birth of a strong and powerful house. Or maybe the correct term would be resurrection?"
Many aristocrats engaged in serious battles from small skirmishes to full out wars with other houses.
From the point of view of the surrounding lords, the newfound strength of the Banfield house was something to be wary of.
Conversely, some nobles welcomed the rise of a new power.
Those were the weak lords who couldn't develop their territory by themselves.
They wanted to build a connection with Liam.
"I don't know how I feel about all the poor nobles flocking around though…."
Some nobles found fault and grew jealous, while others grew sympathetic and became kind.
But no doubt all of them were here now because of Liam.
Nias was indifferent,
"Even for the Empire, it's impossible for complete control of the frontier. The smaller provincial lords have no choice but to rely on the more powerful ones."
The ceremony had begun while the two of them were chatting.
The crowd grew tense as they waited for Liam to arrive.
Thomas let out a somewhat-worried laugh.
"Even though he's actually a really kind person, the rumours about him still have everyone on edge."
"That can't be…"
The lord who swore to reform the territory after being forced to reign when his parents abandoned him as a child.
The guardian of the people who wouldn't allow unscrupulous bureaucrats to oppress his citizens.
A person who was fierce and tough, but was definitely a lord you could rely on.
In addition to that, he was a virtuous ruler who invested the majority of all taxes for the development of the territory.
From the perspective of the Empire, he was the ideal lord who faithfully paid his taxes.
And he did all of this, while at the same time struggling with the serious debt pushed onto him.
Even though the Banfield house didn't have a lot of credibility, Liam himself had credibility.
There were already many officials and soldiers who were ready to give their lives for Liam.
The only thing he was currently lacking were vassals- more specifically, knights.
Liam had finally appeared, and by his side was the figure of a new knight.
Thomas stroked his jaw,
"That's Lady Christiana. Although I heard that she was going to be Lord Liam's first knight and officer, she actually seems quite capable."
"Oh? She wasn't appointed due to her appearance?"
"I won't deny that it was probably a factor, but among the many knights that I've seen, even I can tell that she's special. She has a good aura about her that makes her different. Even the brightness of her eyes is enough to distinguish how extraordinary she is from the norm."
Because she was also a person Liam had given special treatment to, Tia was also attracting attention.
Thomas recalled a bit of gossip,
"There's actually a rumour going around that she's actually the 'Princess Knight.' You know, the one from the country that Goaz destroyed?"
"That famous person? Are you sure? I heard that the real one was supposed to be a lot older than that."
Nias gestured at Tia's youthful appearance.
"Well, it's only a rumour. If it was true though, then that means that the virtuous Lord Liam had appointed someone quite amazing to be his first vassal."
If they knew the truth though, they'd probably be scared.
The only reason why he focused on developing the territory was because he couldn't oppress his people while they had nothing.
He only did the purge because the corrupted officials made him angry.
His only motive to fight on the front lines against the pirates was because he thought the war was rigged in his favour.
Paying off his taxes and debts was just the manifestation of the serious person he used to be in his previous life.
He only hired Tia because of how beautiful and loyal she was.
There wasn't any deep meaning behind this decision, he had just overheard that Tia seemed to be talented.
He was acting with the intent to be a selfish villain…
The ceremony continued on in earnest.
Thomas started to tear up after seeing Liam's impressive appearance as an adult.
"I'm glad that I chose to serve him. I knew I had a good eye for a person's character."
Nias agreed with Thomas, albeit for a slightly different reason,
"Our factory has finally secured a good customer. I hope that Lord Liam will continue to do his best and rise up in life. And if he buys our products while he's at it, then I won't have any complaints."
Thomas narrowed his eyes,
"I think your factory wouldn't be in such a tough situation if you just cared about the designs and interiors a little bit more. If you only pursue performance and functionality, it's only given that other areas would be inconvenienced."
Nias pretended that she couldn't hear Thomas' words and continued to enjoy the ceremony.
—One month after the ceremony.
I was currently troubled over a question.
"…hey, am I living in luxury?"
It was Brian who responded to my question,
"Well, I can't really say in comparison to other noble houses, but from the viewpoint of your predecessors, you're definitely living the frugal life."
We were in my office.
I sprawled myself over my desk and looked around.
…huh? Wasn't this luxurious? It's luxurious, isn't it? But something's still wrong, the money in my bank account hasn't decreased in the slightest.
There hasn't been a single change in the digits no matter how much I spend.
"I'm living… frugally?"
"Yes, you've been living quite humbly. If you think about your position, it should be fine to indulge yourself a bit more."
In the first place I'm supposed to be a Count.
But I didn't even know what the living standards of Counts were.
At the moment, I'd do things like have live music played from an orchestra while I had my meals.
I just tried to imitate the rich meal scenes that I've witnessed before.
That's why I also built this large mansion.
I even commissioned a pool that I could enter at anytime, twenty-four hours a day. It wasn't just any kind of pool either, it was a complete leisure facility that had a lazy river and wave pool.
The day that construction was finished, I played around by swimming in the opposite direction the lazy river flowed.
I even had a hot spring built into the bathroom!
This had to be luxurious!
I couldn't understand the values of this universe.
"Brian… what is luxury?"
"No, I'd be troubled to answer even if you asked me…"
Brian turned to Amagi as if asking for help.
She complied,
"In my records, there's the head of a certain house that made an entire planet into his private space. He seems to have created an entire touristic world for himself."
To prepare a tourist planet for himself… What's he supposed to do with it on the days that he's not there?
At the very least, let customers in.
It doesn't make any sense!
Amagi corrected my misconception,
"Is this the kind of luxury that Master is looking for? In the first place, it's wrong to ask for the meaning of luxury. What you currently have is luxurious, I'm certain of it, but everyone's definition of luxury is different. If you consider Master's character, then it seems that luxury in the true sense wouldn't make you happy at all."
"There's no way it wouldn't! I'll show you luxury! As long as I have money, then I can do anything!"
Brian started to smile.
He looked at me with a somewhat-warm gaze.
Amagi followed up, seeing how troubled I was over this,
"Then why don't you try studying abroad? That's pretty luxurious."
"An exchange student program? But aren't I already going to the academy for the nobility soon?"
"No, not to the noble academy, but to one built for the populace. By learning more about the imperial capital and other houses, you can broaden your view of the universe. It's something that's unnecessary for a lord and can be considered a luxury."
Is it something like studying abroad and playing around in a foreign country?
Can it really be considered luxurious to let others trifle with my money?
Though from the viewpoint of nobility, there's no real point for the lords to learn the wisdom of the people.
As long as everyone they ruled over just followed them silently, there wasn't any real reason to study abroad.
With that said, Brian agreed,
"I think this is a splendid idea. I mentioned this before, but Lord Liam, the territory of the Banfield house is still developing. It's still a premature land that has a lot of things to learn, such as art and fashion. So it would be quite luxurious to go off and study these unnecessary fields for a while."
I remembered while listening to Brian,
"I see, so that's why I should go and study abroad!"
The reason why I couldn't get myself to pick up women was because I couldn't get over their terrible fashion sense.
None of them could pull my heartstrings.
But if I learned about the rest of the universe, maybe my perception of them could get a little better.
I still thought it was wrong to go swimming in full-body swimsuits.
And I can still remember shedding tears the day I heard that it was currently vogue to wear hats with small umbrellas sticking out of them in my territory.
In addition to that, art and fashion aren't considered fields that you need to learn to survive.
If your life was currently in danger, they'd definitely be fields of study to look down on.
So certainly, it'd definitely be considered luxurious to study those things.
"Make the arrangements immediately."
Amagi quickly began the preparations,
"For now, let's plan out Lord Liam's budget. If you want to leave as soon as possible, then they're recruiting applicants to study abroad in the next fiscal year."
"That's great! I'll live the most luxurious life ever!"
I ignored Brian who was currently wiping his tears,
"Studying abroad in order to learn the perspective of his people… As expected of Lord Liam."
He was currently saying something but I couldn't hear him very well.
In any case, let's spend more money! Lots and lots of money!
This is definitely luxurious.
Evil lords are supposed to live indulgent lives like this after all!
I wanted to spend money on things that gave off that feeling.
My aim is to become an evil lord that everyone fears!
Hi everyone, KuroInfinity here. I hope you enjoyed the final chapter of "I'm the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire" volume one! I try to keep translator notes that don't relate to the actual translation out of the chapter pages, but there's no doubt this would get lost in the blog posts if I made this there.
I know the majority of you don't read the FAQ(I've seen the numbers), so I'm going to say this here. Now that the volume is finally finished, to those of you who eventually make the PDFs and EPUBs of the volumes (I know its inevitable), can you please leave the credits that I put for both the author's syosetu page and my translation at the end of every chapter in?
I believe in giving credit where its due, and I believe that both me and the author deserve at least this much (the author even more so than myself). In the end, it's still your(the anon's) personal call, but I'd really appreciate it if you did.
I hope you enjoyed the story so far, and are looking forward to the English translation of Volume two! I love you all(except the bots that steal my work), and thanks for reading!

Time for MC to start donning a black full-body armor with a luxurious cape, complete with black full-face metal helmet too. And of course, most importantly, MC should also wears a voice modulator, to make it real.
Liam: "I'm Bahn(field)man. I strike fear in the hearts of my people by beating up anyone who annoys me with super expensive gadgets."
Populace: "Oh my gosh! It's Bahnman! He takes time out of his busy schedule to personally punish criminals, using a very small amount of money to buy useful and practical cheap gadgets! All hail good lord Liam!"
Liam can't effectively waste money even when he tries. 😂
Thanks for all your hard work! 😁
Drakensji says:
Is the reason he is considered living frugally because technology has rendered construction super cheap? Maybe energy to power appliances and the pool are like nuclear power plants that can equally power a small house as an entire planet? Also in what way is studying abroad considered luxurious? Just because it is useless for a lord doesn't make it luxury
Its all about perspective. Amagi even explained earlier that the value of things and what could be considered 'luxurious' depends on the individual.
Brian even explained that Liam's living a frugal life 'in comparison' to his predecessors. To a commoner he's definitely living life out in luxury, but 'in comparison' to other nobles and his parents/grandparents, he's actually living quite cheaply. Building an expensive mansion doesn't hold a candle to creating a private paradise planet.
As for the studying abroad thing, I think it'd be pretty awesome to live in another country to study their language, culture and way of life for a time. Considering how expensive it is to do so in real life, I'd definitely consider it one, but maybe that's just me. 😉
In the next chapter Liam imitating that noble creates a vacation planet but gets bored after a month and open it to the public making everyone life wealthiest and gets condecorated
BTW kuroinfinity is Liam the correct translation of his name? Because every time I read it I think of Liam Neeson somewhat it fits really good make it unsettling I imagine him saying that line of taken and all

… Well, I could, by extracting the zip archive and editing the html files inside, but that's because I have the necessary skillset. And I wouldn't actually do it when there are free epub editing software like Sigil available.
Reading up to this chapter, I have to say that this story is awesome. Thanks for translating this.
Thanks for delivering such a great chapter as always. Wonderfully done, hope to see you for more Volumes of this fun novel in the future. HAHAHAHAHA this Liam I should teach him a thing of two on how to indulge in a woman warm arms.

This whats happen when a way too good of a person lives a life of extreme poverty (+suffering) while thinking thats is normal his whole life…….then suddenly wish to be evil & wants a life of indecency while not knowing what normal are first(+ he retain his earth values)~
"Evil Lord Path, went down hill before it starts"
Liam, do you know what would be super luxurious? A nice mascot character for your "evil enterouge". Maybe a black bunny or a large golden bird or some kind of albino tiger.
It'll improve your image when you stroke it as you monologue, feed it luxurious foods, and personally brush it. People will think ah what an evil lord indeed.
i totally get him, even if i was in his shoes to make a whole vacation planet seems more stupid that luxurious, maybe if that planet was fully inhabited by beautiful people and had the mission to breed even more beautiful girls…

As an operator of a car, I find myself personally turning into knowledgeable on the issue of automobile wiring. Since I am pretty much the last one who must be playing with whatever that has power present going by it, I became hesitant to attempt to undertake the matter of automobile wiring.
Having said that my vehicle determined in any other case if this started to randomly select power techniques that this desired to me tamper with. When the electric power chair belts started to glide rear and forth without cause as I drove downwards the road, I made a decision I superior work out how to tamper with the electric power techniques, taking into consideration the exuberant fee of automobile fix.
I uncovered me with a decision to either, break up and expend $100 an hour or so for a so-named experienced to view it and try to restoration it, or I could possibly discover how the power technique of my car worked well. Considering my point of ignorance I possibly would try to conquer the unattainable. All things considered the only element I recognized about power solutions is that AC/DC was a rock and roll music band and that newbies and electrical wiring often did not get on.
Nevertheless irrespective of my reluctance, I set out to learn what I could about vehicle electrical wiring. I easily learned that there is a large give of details on the subject matter of vehicle electrical wiring. A swift browse Yahoo offered me by having an range of details. There are various amounts of web sites presenting details.
Some web sites offered a simple analysis of the normal power technique of most cars. A company named Very long Tropical island Customs supplied some very nice simple details. They stated that the details was just for a simple comprehending and not for a detailed description of selected models. Nevertheless they truly present some in depth information on simple solutions these as AC and illumination. In addition they present some very nice difficulty taking pictures details.


I thought he would remember her, I was wrong.
My mother died young, she was 63 years old. She was an amazing Grandmother. The eldest was in grade eight when she died, just before her grade eight graduation (my dad, also an amazing Grandfather passed away just before the eldest graduated from grade 12). Middle child was in grade five and the teenage boy was in grade three when my mom died.
My husband has always worked shift work, so when the kids were young my mom pitched in and helped me. She babysat on a moments notice, drove kids to school when I worked, had a stash of toys and videos at her house just for her grandchildren. There was nothing she wouldn't do for them.
In the summer when the kids all played soccer, she regularly drove the teenage boy to his soccer practice since I was with middle child who always had a game that same evening. My mom always took the same route to soccer and my son had this route memorized. Some time after my mother passed away I would take the soccer route, and the teenage boy would always say, this is the way grandma took me to soccer, he repeated this for a number of years. Then it stopped. Grandma had slipped from his mind. He no longer remembered the soccer route. I try to bring those memories back to him, but they are gone. Gone like my mom, his grandmother.
Time heals for the young, because memories fade. As I type this, the tears roll down my face, I miss my mom, their grandmother. (As I turned to wipe my tears, I see the calendar, it will be her birthday in exactly one month).

When my uncle past away a number of years ago, he had a Will, but what a Will doesn't usually take into consideration is the stuff in the house, photo albums, furniture, kitchenware's, tools, jewellery, knickknacks, etc. After my uncles' death, the big items, furniture, televisions, etc were actually divided up quite easily. The problems arose when one half of the family (my side), who lived out-of-town were not given ample time to pick up the items and things were given away without our final agreement.
I had sent my husband to pick up the items left to us since I was ill at the time, plus he was able to disassemble my uncle's bed and load it into our van (I would have been useless). When my husband arrived (after working an eight-hour shift, he found a huge mess, pictures taken out of photo albums and thrown on the floor, contents of cupboards just tossed here and there. He put as much as he could in our van, thinking he still had another day, but even before he arrived home, I found out that the rest of the contents of the house were being picked up the next day by strangers. I made a phone call to the person who was responsible for giving the contents away and was reassured the contents would still be there another day.
My husband, again went back the next day after work, only to find little in the house, it had been emptied. The not very expensive but personal items I had made for my uncle and grandmother (she had past away less than a year earlier) were gone. He had made a two-hour trip for nothing and I was in tears.
In a very short number of years, I have lost my great-aunt, two grandmothers, uncle, both my parents, and a very young sister-in-law. My husband has also lost in the same time period, his mother, and just recently his brother. So suffice to say, we have this "Will" thing pretty much down pat. Not long after we had our first child we wrote our first Will, and since then have updated it after each child, and then every three or four years. We have had lengthy discussions with our children about the division of property. For example, our life insurance will go towards paying for our cremation, a wake (neither of us are having a funeral, just a party), bills and if there is any money leftover it will be divided amongst the three of them. Likewise, if one of our kids wants our house, then the other two will have their portion purchased. As for the contents, all will be divided equally and fairly.
Our kids have seen the problems which have arisen when money/things are not shared equally, so I can confidently say, they will share because they want to avoid tears, as each of them as said, enough tears are shed when a person dies, causing more because of financial gain/material items is just not worth more tears.
Do you have a will? Have you talked to your kids about the division of money/items?
