Q: Circular animation not working on SVG I have the following animation applied to my simple SVG:
@keyframes rotate  {
    100%  {
        -webkit-transform: rotateZ(360deg);
        -ms-transform: rotateZ(360deg);
        -o-transform: rotateZ(360deg);
        transform: rotateZ(360deg);
    }
}

.keepRotatingOne  {
    -webkit-animation-name: rotate;
    -o-animation-name: rotate;
    animation-name: rotate;
    -webkit-animation-duration: 3s;
    -o-animation-duration: 3s;
    animation-duration: 3s;
    -webkit-animation-iteration-count: infinite;
    -o-animation-iteration-count: infinite;
    animation-iteration-count: infinite;
}

Basically i need the outer most ring of my SVG to rotate in a circular motion , by staying in its current place ,whats happening right now is that, the outer ring is not staying in its current place, but rater rotating away. FIDDLE HERE
If i apply the above animation to a to a div element however, it works perfectly fine, SEE HERE.
So why is the animation not working on the SVG ? It would be nice if somebody could explain why its not working and also give me a solution to circumvent this problem.

A: You can avoid the bug with transform-origin in some versions of Firefox, by reconfiguring your SVG a little.  See below.

@import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,300,400italic,600,700,800);
.st0 {
  fill: none;
  stroke: #31A6DE;
  stroke-miterlimit: 10;
}

.st1 {
  fill: #31A6DE;
}

.st2 {
  font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
  text-transform: uppercase;
}

.st3 {
  font-size: 14px;
}

@keyframes rotate {
  100% {
    -webkit-transform: rotateZ(360deg);
    -ms-transform: rotateZ(360deg);
    -o-transform: rotateZ(360deg);
    transform: rotateZ(360deg);
  }
}

.keepRotatingOne {
  -webkit-animation-name: rotate;
  -o-animation-name: rotate;
  animation-name: rotate;
  -webkit-animation-duration: 3s;
  -o-animation-duration: 3s;

  </svg>

How it works
We transform the polygon so that its centre sits on the origin (0,0).  Then we wrap the polygon in a group element and apply the rotation element to that.  That gives us a cog that is rotating around (0,0).  Finally, we wrap that group in another group that transforms the cog back to it's original position.
<g transform="translate(<back to original position>)">
  <g class="applyRotationAnimationToThisElement">
    <polygon transform="translate(<to the origin>)" ... />
  </g>
</g>

We need two extra groups here because the object we are rotating can't have it's own transform. That's because it will get replaced by the one in the CSS, and destroy the effect.

A: It must to spin around its own axis that is placed on 50% top 50% left of itself.
Add this to .keepRotatingOne:
-webkit-transform-origin: 50% 50%;
-moz-transform-origin: 50% 50%;
-o-transform-origin: 50% 50%;
transform-origin: 50% 50%;

jsfiddle

2D transformations can change the x- and y-axis of an element. - w3s

A: My answer is a couple of years late.I think they fixed that over the course of years
I fixed it with this code
.keepRotatingOne {
  -webkit-animation-name: rotate;
  -o-animation-name: rotate;
  animation-name: rotate;
  -webkit-animation-duration: 3s;
  -o-animation-duration: 3s;

  -webkit-animation-iteration-count: infinite;
  -o-animation-iteration-count: infinite;

  transform-origin: center center;

I need to get started..
These days I'm not feeling strong and I am truly worried that I'm not can get things done. I set myself so many tasks and frankly feels crazy. Now, when I'm not at my best , I have to do the most important stuff. I have to collect my writings, have to put them into some order. I'd like to actually publish them and not leave it for somebody else to decide what to do. After all I have an idea how it should look.
Can't control everything. I'm fully aware that this looks like I am trying to control things after I'm gone, but hey, I'm a designer and a producer. These are the things I do really well. But now I feel so tired, such low energy. A couple of days ago I told the four kids the latest update. There was no point waiting any longer– things were getting worse. Why wait until it's just too dire and shocking.
One of the things we want to do is interview me and interview Ken. I have this sense that if this is the real last opportunity to do this, it has to be done right which immediately puts me into a mode of anxiety. Oh, prepare properly.
You have to aim for the good enough.

Antoine Clapisson (né à Lyon le Archives Municipales de Lyon, Paroisse de Lyon Saint-Nizier, Acte de Baptême 1326, du 13 Novembre 1779 et mort à Bordeaux le Archives Municipales de Bordeaux, Acte de décès 419,  section, du 7 avril 1857) est un compositeur et corniste français. Il fut premier cor solo du Teatro San Carlo de Naples puis premier cor au Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux. Il est le père du compositeur Louis Clapisson.

Biographie
Antoine Clapisson était originaire de Lyon où son père, Léonard Clapisson, exerçait le métier de facteur d'instruments-à-vent, place des Cordeliers. Il fut l'élève du célèbre corniste, violoniste et compositeur originaire de Bohème, Giovanni Punto (1746-1803), qui résida à Paris au service du comte d'Artois de 1781 à 1788 puis en tant que de chef d'orchestre du théâtre des Variétés de 1789 à 1799.

Après avoir fait la campagne d'Égypte (1798-1801), Antoine Clapisson épousa en 1805, Philippine Dubois, originaire de Suisse. Il est alors musicien au  Régiment d'Infanterie légère basé à Besançon. La famille s'installa ensuite à Naples sous le règne de Joachim Murat (1808-1815). Antoine Clapisson occupe alors simultanément les postes de chef de musique des Vélites de la garde du roi Murat, professeur au Conservatoire de Naples et premier cor solo du Teatro San Carlo.

Son fils, le compositeur Louis Clapisson, naît à Naples le . Ce dernier aimait d'ailleurs narrer cette anecdote à propos du repas donné par son père pour fêter sa naissance et reflétant son caractère de bon vivant :

Deux ans plus tard, Antoine Clapisson est nommé en surnuméraire à l'orchestre de Chambre de la Chapelle Palatine, ainsi que l'atteste une lettre du Chambellan Surintendant de la Musique du Royaume de Naples et des Deux-Siciles datée du .

La guerre de Russie entraîna bien loin de Naples les Vélites de la garde et leur chef de musique. Après toutes les campagnes, le régiment d'Antoine Clapisson se trouva licencié, le Conservatoire de Naples désorganisé et le théâtre fermé. Il ramena alors sa famille à Lyon vers 1815 mais il ne s'y trouva pas en odeur de sainteté car il était bonapartiste. Aussi ne fut-il pas compris dans la nouvelle réorganisation de l'armée française. Heureusement il rencontra un imprésario qui le fit engager comme premier cor au Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux. Ce fut dans cette ville que M. Clapisson s'établit définitivement. Conservé à la BnF, son contrat avec le Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux pour la saison 1832-1833 indique : .

Dans L'Agenda Musical pour l'année 1836, il est signalé à la section de la ville de Bordeaux comme : Clapisson, cor, rue du Puits-de-Baigne-Cap, 19.

Il décède à Bordeaux, le . Ce n'était pas un musicien ordinaire et il a laissé en tant que compositeur plus de trois cents œuvres pour son instrument favori, publiées par la maison S. Richault.

Œuvres principales
 3 Duos concertant pour 2 cors op.8
 3 Duos concertant pour cor et basson op.27
 Douze duos pour cornet à pistons et cor composé et dédié à monsieur Édouard Dotezac op.74

Nicaragua's culture varies in different regions due to the many influences that were exerted on these different parts of Nicaragua. The majority of Nicaragua exhibits a strong Spanish influence, but other parts of Nicaragua are more influenced by the English culture.
In the beginning, the western part of Nicaragua was colonized by Spain. All people living in these areas were influenced by the Spanish culture and as a result are similar to other Spanish speaking countries. Spanish is Nicaragua's first language and most of the people in Nicaragua practice Catholicism. But the Nicaraguan culture is not without native influences and the current culture in Nicaragua which is practiced amongst the present day mestizos (part Spanish, part Indian) is a mix of native Indian and Spanish culture.
The east of Nicaragua was once controlled by Britain and thus the influence here was strongly English. Most of the people in the east of Nicaragua still speak English as their first language and there are more Protestant people in these areas. However, in general there are more Catholics than Protestants. The culture on the Atlantic side of the country is closer to that found in the Caribbean and there is a large number of people who came from Africa as well as a small Garinagu (Carib Indians) population.
In the east of Nicaragua, there is a small group which has remained very distinct from the rest of Nicaragua. These people have managed to keep many of their tribal customs and languages and these people prove to be very intriguing to outsiders who show interest in finding out more about these cultures. Among these cultures are the Ramas and Sumos people.
The result of the mixture of native customs and Catholicism has resulted in a culture with lots of celebrations which are based on honoring of their saints. Each Nicaraguan town has its patron saint. Some of the towns share their saints. The people of Nicaragua engage in annual festivities in their honor and give these saints gifts to get blessing of their saints like having a healthy crop or finding a partner. The festivities normally start with a parade thru the streets in which they show a statue of the saint. Traditional Nicaraguan dances, ceremonies and plays are most of the times a part of such festivals. They light fireworks and crackers and they eat and drink and feast until the sun rises again. They entertain the public by clowns and musicians and the festival goes on in the early hours of daylight the next morning.


There is a renewed global interest in support of family farming becoming a more competitive sector, contributing to poverty alleviation, food security, and economic growth. This paper explores the development conditions faced by family farmers across Brazil. We not only reveal a potential for development, represented by the great number of family-based rural households, but also present several structural constraints faced by most family farmers, as well as great discrepancies among regions. We argue for encouraging the existing family farming potential by designing policies that consciously target specific regional challenges and avoid excluding segments not fitting into the modernization paradigm.

I just received an order including a tin of Syrian Star and Ringlow Syrian Reserve, and they both have odd tin codes that deviate from the standard six numbers. Anyone know how to read these codes and date the tins?
Yeah, I'm familiar with McClelland's standard six-digit blend/batch/year system. I'm just confused about these two since they deviate from that. Like, 133 9: is that blend 1 or blend 13, from batch 3 or 33? And does 9 mean tinned in 2009? And if so, why doesn't it say 09 like normal? Or is this something completely different?
I tend to go with the Occam's razor idea, "The simplest answer is usually the correct one"
You could always write McClelland directly. I'll bet you a bottle of Heinz ketchup they'd happily decipher it for you.
That was my first thought, but I'm finding it hard to believe that this tin sat on a shelf in the smokingpipes warehouse for six years without being sold. I guess it's possible though!
It's not that unlikely. I remember reading about a gentleman that spoke to Mike McNeal asking him about a certain club blend and Mike couldn't exactly answer his questions because it had been several years since he had blended a batch of the mixture he was inquiring about. In fact, 2 years ago I bought some McClelland tins from a major webstore that was having a sale. The British Woods tin I got was stamped 2007. And while it's unlikely that you'd get a popular blend like Blackwoods Flake or Frog Morton from a major dealer with several years on it, it's not that unlikely to find tins of less popular blends with a good number of years on them. At least that's been my experience with several of their latakias and some of their club blends like Orient 996 and Cyprian Star.

Der Postmann (Original: Il postino) ist ein Film von Regisseur Michael Radford, gedreht im Jahr 1994 auf der Insel Procida im Golf von Neapel und auf der Liparischen Insel Salina vor der Nordküste Siziliens.

Der Film basiert auf dem Roman Mit brennender Geduld (Originaltitel: Ardiente paciencia) von Antonio Skármeta.

Handlung
Eine kleine italienische Insel in den 1950er Jahren. Der weltbekannte chilenische Dichter Pablo Neruda, der hier mit seiner Frau im Exil lebt, wird mit Briefen seiner Anhänger überschüttet. Der schüchterne Fischer Mario Ruoppolo nimmt eine Stelle als Briefträger Nerudas an und bringt ihm täglich große Mengen an Post ins Haus, darunter unzählige Liebesbriefe.

Zwischen den ungleichen Männern entwickelt sich langsam eine tiefe Freundschaft. Angespornt von Nerudas Erfolg bei Frauen beginnt Mario, dessen Gedichte zu lesen und sich von ihm in die Geheimnisse seines Erfolgs einweihen zu lassen. Neruda vermittelt Mario, der nie die Schule besucht hat, die Liebe zur Dichtung, und Mario fasst schließlich den Mut, mit Nerudas Worten, die er als seine eigenen ausgibt, um die schöne, aber unnahbare Beatrice zu werben. Es gelingt ihm, sie für sich zu gewinnen. Sie heiraten, und Neruda wird ihr Trauzeuge. Zur selben Zeit erhält dieser die Nachricht, in seine Heimat zurückkehren zu dürfen.

Einige Jahre später kommt Neruda zu einem Besuch auf die Insel. Ihm begegnet sogleich der kleine Sohn von Mario und Beatrice, dem die beiden aus Liebe und Respekt zu Neruda den Namen "Pablito" gegeben haben. Beatrice eröffnet dem unerwarteten Besucher, dass Mario seinen Sohn nie gesehen hat, da er vor dessen Geburt bei einem Handgemenge bei einer Demonstration der Kommunisten, für die sich Mario politisch begeistert hatte, ums Leben kam. Er hatte seinem Freund jedoch noch ein Geschenk hinterlassen. Inspiriert durch Nerudas damalige Bitte an Mario, die Schönheit seiner Heimatinsel zu beschreiben, hatte er ein Tonband mit verschiedenen Geräuschen, z. B. des Meeres, des Windes oder des kleinen Herzens von Pablito hinterlassen. Außerdem hatte Mario ihm ein Gedicht gewidmet, das er bei der politischen Veranstaltung vortragen wollte, wozu es jedoch nicht kam.

Auszeichnungen
Der Film wurde weltweit mit 18 Filmpreisen ausgezeichnet, darunter 1995 mit dem wichtigsten italienischen Filmpreis, dem David di Donatello. Für den Oscar wurde er 1996 insgesamt fünfmal nominiert (Bester Film, Beste Regie, Bester Hauptdarsteller, Bestes adaptiertes Drehbuch, Beste Filmmusik/Drama) und erhielt den Preis in der Kategorie für die beste Filmmusik. 1997 erhielt er den Prix Lumières für den besten ausländischen Film.

Kritik
Das Lexikon des internationalen Films urteilte: "Mit leiser Komik und die Unschuld seines Helden stilistisch spiegelnd, zeichnet der Film einfühlsam das Bild einer Männerfreundschaft abseits der Klischees. Politische Anklänge bleiben in der melancholischen Grundstimmung jedoch vage."

Weiteres
Der Hauptdarsteller Massimo Troisi verschob eine dringend erforderliche Herzoperation, um den Abschluss der Dreharbeiten nicht zu behindern. Einen Tag nach Drehende erlitt er einen Herzinfarkt und starb daran. Der Film enthält im Nachspann eine Widmung an ihn.

Il Postino ist ein Remake von Ardiente paciencia (dt. Titel Mit brennender Geduld), den Skármeta 1983 im deutschen Exil realisierte. Gedreht wurde Ardiente paciencia in Portugal mit chilenischen Schauspielern. Der Darsteller von Neruda, Roberto Parada, kam für die Dreharbeiten direkt aus Chile. In der Romanvorlage spielt die Handlung in einem chilenischen Fischerdorf.

Spartans' 3rd period comeback not enough
CHESTNUT HILL, Massachusetts - The Michigan State hockey team's three-game winning streak came to an end Friday night at the hands of second-ranked Boston College as the Spartans fell, 6-4, at Conte Forum. Trailing 4-1 in the third period, the Spartans (4-4-1) generated a furious rally to tie the game, 4-4, with three goals in a 1:32 span. But a power-play goal by Miles Wood with 1:54 to play reclaimed the Eagles' lead for good.
"I liked a lot of the things we did tonight," said MSU head coach Tom Anastos. "I didn't like falling behind, but I liked how we came back and gave ourselves a chance."
The Spartan comeback started 30 seconds after the Eagles' Alex Tuch made it a 4-1 game just past the 12 minute mark of the third period. JT STenglein scored his team-leading sixth goal of the season with a rising snap shot from the left circle 30 seconds after Tuch's tally.
Brennan Sanford made it a 4-3 game 14 seconds later. Cody Milan and Sanford were able to break freely into the Eagle end and Sanford buried Milan's perfect feed, sending the water bottle on top of the net flying.
The Spartans went right back to work after pulling within a goal and just 1:32 after trailing by three, Mason Appleton made it a new game, scoring 1:18 after the Sanford goal to make it 4-4.
Appleton got his stick on the puck in front of the net, sliding home a pass from Michael Ferrantino.
Momentum continued in the Spartans' favor until Joe Cox was whistled for interference with 2:56 to play, giving BC its sixth power play of the night. Wood scored the game-winner less than a minute into the power play and Ryan Fitzgerald's empty-net goal sealed the game with 1:04 to play.
Michigan State outshot the Eagles in the final two periods and by a count of 37-36 for the game.
"I thought we got better as the game went on," said Anastos. "I thought we kind of weathered the storm in the first period. I thought we played a pretty darn good second period, even though the score wasn't in our favor.
"I liked the character of team and I thought it showed tonight."
After a scoreless opening period where MSU goaltender Jake Hildebrand was brilliant in stopping 17 Boston College shots, both teams got on the scoreboard in an 11-second span just past the four-minute mark of the middle stanza.
Colin White struck first for Boston College, scoring at the 4:41 mark. White got the puck in the low slot and pushed it through the legs of Hildebrand where it trickled across the goal line.
Mackenzie MacEachern tied the game just 11 seconds later with his fifth goal of the season.
The Spartans quickly got possession in the offensive end following the BC goal and Ferrantino was able to set up MacEachern in the high slot with a feed from behind the net. MacEachern walked in and snapped the puck up over Demko.
BC retook the lead at the 15:12 mark of the second as a long pass sprung White free down the left side and he beat Hildebrand with a backhand up high for his second goal of the period.
Fitzgerald upped Boston College's lead to 3-1 1:29 into the third as he broke toward the net from the right and slipped the puck past Hildebrand.
Ferrantino finished with two assists, while Appleton had a goal and an assist.
The Spartans will be back home next weekend as they host Michigan Tech on Saturday and Sunday (Nov. 21-22) at Munn Ice Arena.

THE following paper deals with a collection of Upper Albian Ammonoidea belonging to the Transvaal Museum and kindly sent to the writer, for description, by the Director, through Dr S.H. Haughton, Hon. Curator. There are 102 specimens, including 33 ammonites and 69 heteromorphs, all from Catuane, Portuguese East Africa. These were collected by Dr E. C. N. van Hoepen, and Dr Haughton informs me that presumably they are all from one horizon. Judging by the English type-succession of the Upper Gault, the beds from which came the South African specimens here described would correspond approximately to the varicosum-t:equatoriale zones.

Q: How can I make my compiler flag an error when trying to compile deprecated OpenGL functions? I learnt to use legacy OpenGl (v1 / 2) around a year back but now I am trying to make something that is a bit more up to date (i.e. >OpenGL 3.3).
I want to use a lot of my old code, however I could really do with the compiler flagging up an error when it tries to compile something legacy (e.g. glBegin() ... glEnd()).
I compiled on a mac a while back and it flagged up this error when trying to compile, but now I'm using a raspberry pi running raspbian.
Thanks for your help in advance!

A: Depending on your use-case, you might be able to use the OpenGL ES header instead of the standard OpenGL header. The OpenGL ES header doesn't contain the deprecated functions.
Another possibility would be to use a loader like gl3w which will also make your code more portable.

A: I'd recommend using the OpenGL loader generator glad to generate a loader for core profile of the OpenGL version you want to target. The resulting headers will not contain any of the deprected compatibility profile functions and GLenum definitions.
However, be aware that this will not catch all deprecated GL usage at compile time. For example, a core profiles mandates that a VAO != 0 is bound when rendering, that vertex arrays come from VBOs and not client-side memory, and a shader program != 0 is used. Such issues can't really be detected at compile time. I recommend to use the OpenGL Debug Output functionality to catch those remaining issues at runtime. Most GL implementations will produce very useful error or warning messages that way.

A large number of dead fish have been discovered by fishermen around the French Indian Ocean island of Mayotte, which has recently had an abnormal earthquake swarm, consisting of more than 1,440 tremors with a magnitude of 3.5 on the Richter scale since May 10 last year.
As well as visual observations of dead fish, including dolphins and manta rays, there have been reports of a strong "burnt" smell, which was "not bearable" that which covered "an area of several kilometers," according to a representative of fishermen as reported by 20minutes.fr.
Last year a strange seismic event 'shook' the planet for 20 minutes on November 11 - And no one felt it. The monochromatic signals were detected around the world, including Chile, New Zealand, Canada, and Hawaii. It created a buzz in the scientific community, because seismic signals from earthquakes and volcanic eruption are 'spikier' and don't look 'harmonious' like this.
Such low frequency rumbles are rare but not unheard of. Scientists have detected them before after glacier calving, landslides and sudden shifts of magma beneath volcanoes. There are no glaciers near Mayotte and an underwater landslide would have been picked up by hydrophones in the surrounding ocean, said Hicks. That leaves a magma shift somewhere under the seabed as the prime culprit.
Hicks believes magma may suddenly have drained from a volcanic chamber about 10 miles under the seafloor near Mayotte, setting off the deep rumble that spread around the world. While strong enough to be picked up by sensitive seismometers, the vibrations would have been minuscule: far smaller than a millimetre. "It's something that you wouldn't perceive," he said.
Pierre Briole, a geoscientist at École Normale Supérieure in Paris, has reached a similar conclusion. He believes that a third of a cubic mile of magma may have drained from a volcanic chamber under the seafloor, unleashing deep vibrations when its roof collapsed.
This mass fish die off and "burnt" smell could be indicative of gas/lava release from fissures connected to a volcanic chamber collapse (or another undersea volcanic eruption/methane seep).

Vital Events Reference Tables 2007
These tables contain 2007 demographic data. They provide the same level of information contained in past (pre-2001) Registrar General's Annual Reports. Tables containing 2007 data are divided into 8 sections; Summary; Adoptions and re-registrations; Births; Stillbirths and infant deaths; Deaths; Deaths by cause; Marriages and Divorces. The tables (listed below) are based on vital event numbers.
Note: In previous years, Tables 2.1 to 2.8 provided estimates of the population of Scotland in recent years, and projections of the future population. Such figures are now available from the 'Population Estimates [1]' and 'Population Projections [2]' parts of the website. Section 2 of the Reference Tables now contains the tables on Adoptions (which previously formed Section 9): the tables in the other sections have not been renumbered. In addition, in previous years, Tables 5.4 and 5.5 provided figures on life expectancy: these are now available from the 'Life Expectancy at Scotland Level [3]' section of the website.
Revision of Marital Status Population Estimates
In October 2009 Revised Marital Status Population Estimates were published. Table 2.2 in the 2002 to 2006 editions now provides the revised Marital Status Population Estimates. The other tables have not been changed as revised time-series tables are available from revised Tables 3.5 and 7.2 in the 2008 Reference Tables.

To use a recovery drive, you must instruct the PC to boot from the UFD instead of from its usual hard disk or SSD. This generally means interacting with the PC's BIOS or UEFI environment. Consult the user manual for the target device for the necessary details, which can vary widely. On many of my laptops, for example, striking the F12 key during initial start-up brings up a boot drive selection menu. Newer PCs with fast boot capabilities may require other, different contortions.
Once booted into the Windows recovery drive, a series of menus will appear. First, you'll elect to "Troubleshoot," then ponder (and use) the subsidiary options.
Under "Troubleshoot," you can elect to "Recover from a drive" or select "Advanced options." The first simply re-installs Windows from the image on the recovery drive. It's just like performing a reset on Windows 10, except it's using the files from the recovery UFD instead of files from a different drive. This option makes sense only when other, less destructive recovery strategies have failed. That's because it creates a fresh Windows 10 install, makes sure you have your windows 10 activation keys with no additional applications, user accounts, settings or preferences available.
Choose "Advanced options" instead, and this is what you'll see.
Each of the options here offers interesting repair and recovery possibilities.
System Restore: Lets you roll back Windows 10 to a previous snapshot as captured in a Restore Point. This won't usually fix boot-up problems, but it's worth a try anyway.
System Image Recovery: Rolls back Windows 10 to the state captured in a System Image recorded for the PC. Replaces the entire boot/system drive contents, including boot information. A good fix when rollback doesn't impose unwanted or unacceptable losses of files, settings, and so forth.
Automatic Repair: The usual selection for boot-related issues. Here, you select the operating system that you wish to have repaired (the tool reports on Windows and other images it finds after scanning the boot/system disk), provide login credentials, and fire off the repair tool. If it succeeds, the system will be restored to normal operation. If not, other measures become necessary.
Command Prompt: This is the ultimate toolbox for manipulating a Windows boot/system disk. Anything you can run at the command line in Windows, you can direct against the impaired disk. This includes credit for addressing boot problems, DISM for addressing Windows image problems, and much, much more.

I am going for a week vacation, taking the kids to the beach and down to the south of Malaysia. A quickie post to update my home kit. I trimmed all plants and its starting to recover.
Mint below recovering and started to populate the growbed again.
Chinese Celery below besides the mint. This one I grow from root cutting, slow to grow but showing sign of progress.
The gravel on this Homekit is a bit small, wish I use bigger pebbles more during the mix. Smaller pebbles can easily clogged.
Tilapia in the Homekit, I have transfer some of it to the main tank what left about 20 - 30 fingerling, 1 or 2 KOI and a Barb.
Sambung Nyawa above not in the Homekit, these are in my main setup. Just to show its recovering from last week ordeal with the hot sun blazing and now a little less heat.
Tumeric plants, also in my main setup. They are sprouting new shoots. Tumeric need shade and they are also sensitive to water logged soil. Cutting OFF the pump at night helps with Tumeric, it gives them a period of dryness.
Cheer - I am OFF for a week..

Where psychology and conservation science collide
By Alex Kusmanoff and Matthew Selinske (RMIT University)
The behavioural sciences such as psychology and behavioural economics have a lot to offer conservation—from understanding people's decision-making to evaluating the best way to change behaviours in a targeted population. Yet, given its breadth and depth, many of us find psychology, its jargon and research, impenetrable.
To increase understanding and use of psychology in conservation science and practice, we have recently launched a new web-based resource called Please keep to the path. The website (we'd never call it a blog) seeks to make research about human behaviour more accessible to all who are interested in applying it to promote nature conservation.
You can find it at the rather intuitive address: keeptothepath.com ('intuitive' is an important idea when it comes to behavioural science).
Unlike many blogs (but remember we're not a blog), our site is not a vessel for self-promotion, opinions or gripes. Rather, it is a flagship for disseminating the most relevant and useful conservation psychology research. We strive to make its contents both available and accessible to all, though we have a particular interest in reaching other researchers, managers, and policymakers.
While researchers continue to produce mountains of knowledge that may be useful for guiding nature conservation, this information is often difficult to access, sometimes held behind paywalls and usually reported in discipline-specific language. All this creates barriers for those who dare to venture beyond the safety of their own disciplinary field of expertise.
We have established Please keep to the path as one means to better share this knowledge and make it more available for the nurturing of nature. We do this by reporting the best classic and contemporary research in short and (hopefully) engaging 'bytes'. Each byte captures the essential aspects of the original peer-reviewed research, including why it is useful for understanding the human aspects of nature conservation.
We read it so that you don't have to!
We read the original article, distil its essential learnings, and report this as succinctly as possible. In this way, each of our bytes is much like an article abstract, except that it:
Avoids being exceedingly dull and dry;
Is written to engage a general audience instead of researchers within a particular field; and
Focusses on applications to conservation – it turns out not all research relevant to conservation psychology originates from conservation psychology research!
By perusing our growing database of bytes readers may more readily and easily become familiar with important research in the field than if they were to rely on accessing published journal abstracts, and certainly more quickly than by actually reading a multitude of individual articles in full. While no synopsis is ever a substitute for reading the real thing, our bytes will help you focus energy on those articles most useful for providing the information you seek.
Why 'please keep to the path'?
Our titular plea, Please keep to the path, echoes the often futile messages found on signs posted around the world that implore pedestrians to Please keep off the grass, hikers to Please keep to the trail or public transport passengers to Please keep feet off seats (to list only several of the forms in which this ubiquitous appeal can be found).
Yet Please keep to the path also embodies a greater appeal to us all, that we navigate our lives in a way that treads more lightly upon nature. Because human behaviour is the cause of so many environmental problems, including the biodiversity crisis, shifting how people behave is key to achieving a future in which people better value and better protect nature. And sometimes, an appropriately worded sign in a strategically chosen place can nudge us in the right direction.
Get involved and promote great research
Owing to our limited resources (ie, the spare time of two active researchers), we make no pretence that this database will be exhaustive. Currently, the articles we report are simply the most interesting and useful pieces of research, both past and emerging, that we happen to encounter.
However, we do make sure that each byte is in itself reliable and accurate.
But, you can help our repository grow into a valuable and practical conservation psychology resource by contributing your own bytes. If you know of any important, useful or interesting research that is not yet in our database, or want to promote your own fantastic research then we would love to hear from you. Get in touch via the contact page, or email either alex.kusmanoff@rmit.edu.au or matthew.selinske@rmit.edu.au
Please check us out for yourselves and be the first to tell your conservation colleagues.

About the Keep-to-the-Path editors: Alex (above and right) recently completed a PhD with the RMIT Interdisciplinary Conservation (ICON) Science Lab, in which he investigated the use of framing techniques for enhancing conservation messages. He is currently continuing this research with the Threatened Species Recovery Hub. He is investigating the use of social and behavioural economic opportunities for threatened species recovery.
Matthew (above and left) is a PhD candidate with the ICON Science Lab at RMIT. His research can be broadly categorised as conservation psychology. He is currently evaluating the social dimensions of private land conservation, biodiversity footprint analysis, conservation behavior change and predictive modelling of human behaviour.
The psychology in an environmental decision
Over the years we've covered many psychological dimensions of environmental decision making in Decision Point. Here are three examples:
The psychology of searching for hard-to-find species
Base-rate neglect, inverse-probability fallacy and poor environmental decisions. Our big brains struggle to coherently combine probabilities. It's something that's been noted time and again in studies on how doctors interpret a medical diagnosis but it's a basic problem whenever we are presented information with several points of uncertainty. And this is a big problem commonly encountered in environmental management whenever we have imperfect detection.
Decision Point #57
Communicating environmental science to conservatives
The reason that environmental campaigns often don't work is that it turns out that the effectiveness of campaigns depends on audiences' existing attitudes and identities.
'Bias' and natural resource management
We recently explored the influence of bias in natural resource management (NRM) and found that we may be able to improve our performance if we recognise these influences and work to reduce them.

Emma Barton reveals bizarre Strictly Come Dancing injury ahead of final
By Laura Harding, PA Senior Entertainment Correspondent
PA Media: Entertainment 14 December 2019
Emma Barton has revealed she was blighted by an unusual injury while taking part in Strictly Come Dancing.
The EastEnders actress, who will compete against CBBC star Karim Zeroual and Emmerdale's Kelvin Fletcher in Saturday night's final, said she pulled a muscle in her bottom.
She said: "It's quite funny actually, the Charleston – we did it week 11 and it's fast, high intensity.

"We smashed it all through the week and then, on the Friday morning, when we got to the studio we had to do a bit of social media and I pulled a muscle in my bottom, just standing. How do you do that?
"It was the right (cheek) and I did panic."
She revealed she "strapped up" the injured area, saying: "It had several large plasters on it, it worked because I got through it."
She will perform the Charleston again in the final with professional partner Anton Du Beke and joked: "I might have to get the plasters back out."
Barton said she was stunned to make it as far as the final, especially because she struggled with one particular dance.
"I think, especially after our rumba week, when we were bottom of the leaderboard, I thought that is it, we are going home, we are going home," she said.
"I couldn't believe getting to the semi-finals, but then words can't describe how I feel.
"I am just the biggest Strictly fan, I've loved every second, I've loved being with Anton, I really have, and it's just been brilliant and I just want to go out and enjoy Saturday, that is it now.
"We are lucky enough to dance three amazing dances. Our showdance is going to be fantastic if we get it right and I don't drop the cane."
It will be only the second time Du Beke has competed in a final, despite being in the show since it started in 2004, and he said: "I am beyond excited, I can't even tell you what that feels like.
"I wish I could remember what it felt like the last time, the only other time.
"It's wonderful. I'm like Emma, a huge Strictly Come Dancing fan – that is why I do it, because I love it, and the thing that I love more than anything else is to be dancing with a fan of the show and Emma is a super-fan.
"So for Emma to experience the whole journey and take me along with her has been just wonderful, and to see Emma develop and grow as a dancer, as a performer."
Assessing their chances, he said: "We have all got the same chance, it's the most important people who are voting this time – it's the audience at home.
"It's all a real level sort of playing field in the final, anything can happen, and all you can focus on is your bit and hope it's good enough."
He added: "It's up for grabs, anyone can pick it up. I feel like that when I'm doing the launch show every year, and then they give me my partner … but this year it's different."
Strictly Come Dancing 2019 concludes on BBC One on Saturday at 7.05pm.

As a freshman, I wandered into an info session for The Daily Texan and ended up joining the inaugural Science & Technology section. I didn't exactly intend to stay for three years, but I had the good fortune of getting to cover things like Jennifer Doudna and Joe Biden speaking at SXSW, and later editing other people's articles.
These three years have been formative. Interviewing successful people while being painfully shy has made me a tad more confident. Having the opportunity to work alongside many talented people has been inspiring. Seeing and becoming part of the inner workings of a paper have given me a better appreciation of journalism and its importance.
One of the things I'm most grateful for is rekindling my love of reading. When I started at this paper, my writing was clumsy. I read pieces from acclaimed news outlets to try to polish my own. This eventually led to me hoarding books and articles, pouring over wonderful writing and ideas. This is a habit that has given me so much and that I really hope sticks.
The people make the place. I want to thank Ellen for creating the department and Eva, Zia and Kate for shaping it into what it is today, and to give a special thanks to Julianne and Sarah. Thank you, Julianne, for being so sweet and patient, especially when I'm trying to parallel park. Thank you, Sarah, for the spooky talks and videos of Alex Turner in tight pants. You guys are wonderful. Thank you to all of our writers. Watching you improve your writing skills, pitch creative ideas for pieces and take pride in your work has been insanely gratifying. I'm going to miss baking for y'all.
My time at The Daily Texan has been a huge part of my college experience. After three years, the basement has gotten a homey feel. I will miss evenings spent here, squinting at articles, obliterating Oxford commas on sight and geeking out over press releases. I got to read, write and talk about so much, from quirky Austin startups to the advent of autonomous vehicles to inclusivity in STEM. I never expected to earn such a big payout from something I stumbled upon, and as I finally leave the dingy basement, I hope I can keep meeting new opportunities with an open mind and finding the best in unlikely places.

Q: Google sheet and script- "Exception: Cannot call SpreadsheetApp.getUi() from this context." I have an issue using the Ui class in Google Apps Script/Sheets.
From a google sheet, I am opening my script project (extension -> App script) and then I create this function :
function display_me() {
  // Display a dialog box with a title, message, input field, and "Yes" and "No" buttons. The
// user can also close the dialog by clicking the close button in its title bar.
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
var response = ui.prompt('Getting to know you', 'May I know your name?', ui.ButtonSet.YES_NO);

// Process the user's response.
if (response.getSelectedButton() == ui.Button.YES) {
  Logger.log('The user\'s name is %s.', response.getResponseText());
} else if (response.getSelectedButton() == ui.Button.NO) {
  Logger.log('The user didn\'t want to provide a name.');
} else {
  Logger.log('The user clicked the close button in the dialog\'s title bar.');
}
}

And I get this answer in the logger :

Exception: Cannot call SpreadsheetApp.getUi() from this context.

I have tried to take a blank sheet and copy/past this script and it is working.
It seems that App script is no longer linked to my sheet. However, when I use so other class like getActiveSpreadsheet(), I can return my sheet name and so on. So, I am not using a stand alone script.
Any ideas why then I am getting this error ?

played on this first day on Spieltag 27.
It started well, from a totally biased Hertha perspective! Dresden scored in the eighth minute to give a 1:0 scoreline that lasted all the way until the 31st minute when Bicakcic for Dreseden burst my bubble! Braunschweig went on to win 2:1 with a nice goal from Kumbela in the 53rd. This put Braunschweig at the top of the table, two points clear of Hertha. The game on Saturday where Hertha were visited by VfL Bochum could, and did, change all of that.
This is is the first Hertha home game that I had not been to watch since November so it will be sad having to watch it on a small screen but hey, that will not stop me!
Hertha started as well as anyone could hope for with a fantastic free kick from Ronny curling into the top right corner in the fourth minute that left the Bochum keeper hopelessly stranded and putting Hertha 1:0 up.
Hertha remained in control with no serious threats from Bochum. They created a few chances but nothing that our Thomas Kraft could easily handle. Hertha had a few chances including: one for Allagui who had a one on one with the keeper but the shot went straight into him, another where Ramos had a header that went just wide. Bochum were paying particular attention to Ronny and eventually Yasuke Tasaka picked up a yellow for his trouble! But Hertha went in at half time comfortable at 1:0.
In the second half - in the 46th minute Nico Shulz ran through three defenders and knocked in the second with a great goal for Hertha! What a start for the second half as well as the first!! Hertha remained in control in this match through the second half and only ever looked at risk once with a defensive error by Kobi (I think) but Thomas Kraft grasped the ball out of danger. A double substitution by Bochum brought a little more life to their game when Freier and Aydin came on in the 67th minute but nothing that Hertha couldn't handle.
Hertha made a double substitution themselves as Ben Sahar and Alfredo Morales came on for Perr Kluge and Adrian Ramos respectively. Also Christoph Janker came on for Ronny with 2 minutes to go. Ronny had played a massive part in the match, not least of which through that magnificent free kick at the start.
Both Ronny and Ben Sahar had chances near the end but the third was just not going to come. What really matter is the three vital; points going to Hertha putting them at the top of the table once more. Spitzenreiter Spitzenreiter, HEY HEY!!
Kaiserslautern played on Sunday, and SV Sandhausen did us a small favour and the gap below to the playoff spot widened a little more. A 1:1 draw cost Kaiserslautern two points and the number three spot as FC Köln win at hapless Regensburg 2:1 and leapfrog them in the process. Hertha are now 13 points clear of Köln and the playoffs with just 21 points to play for. It could be worse!
This week we had two more international matches for both England and Germany. Unfortunately they were played almost at the same time although the match in Nürnberg started a little earlier.
I think I watched the wrong one . . .
Germany hosted Kazakhstan in the Stadion Nürnberg and once again played without an out and out striker. Mario Götze played "up front" as he did last Friday when Germany played in Kazakhstan.
I saw very little of this match, just a little at the start of each half. In fact the only thing I saw really was a howler by Manuel Neuer to let Schmidtgal score for Kazakhstan! Still, this was. More than matched by s BVB scoring triumph with Marco Reus scoring in the 23rd and 90th minutes, Mario Götze in the 27th and Ilkay Gündogan in the 32nd so Jogi will not be too disappointed I think. Jürgen Klopp might be feeling proud of his lads as well!
England, well, this wasn't too much fun to watch. Rooney scored in he fifth minute and also nearly caught the Montenegran keeper stumbling off his line with a lob over the top that caught the post. But too many chances were missed in the first half to leave it at 0:1 at the break.
England struggled in the second half and they lost the midfield. They were under the cosh for 20 minutes or so easily. Eventually they conceded a scrapy goal after Joe Hart made an initial save. From that save a game of pin ball ensued in a crowded box. It was no more than Montenegro deserved, one could easily argue that they deserved more from their second half performance.
For what felt like ages no changes were made from the bench although Lampard and Defoe were there and perhaps could have kick started England again. Eventually Ashley Young came on but it was too little, too late. There was a late surge in the last few minutes, especially in the three minutes of extra time but it ended 1:1.
There is a lot to play for in Group H. England are now two points behind Montenegro but with both Poland and Ukraine only four points behind. Germany on the other hand, are eight points clear at the top of Group C looking comfortable.
No Hertha game this week but there was a rash of World Cup qualifiers being played on Friday to act as a distraction!
I was able to watch both Germany play Kazakhstan and England play San Marino. Both matches provided comfortable wins for the European teams and I gather the USA team also won 1:0 against Costa Rica in "interesting" conditions.
Germany started with a "false nine" formation without a striker. Mario Gomez was not fit but you can't help wondering if this night be the future for Jogi's team. It was interesting seeing Julian Draxler of Schalke making a start. He started well but unfortunately a clash of heads left him in a bit of a spin and he had to go off in the 19th minute to be replaced by Lukas Podolski who picked up his 108th cap. Germany went on to win 3:0 with goals from Schweinesteiger, Götze and Muller. A pretty comfortable win, especially in the first half.
A little later England went on to play San Marino in a minor league like atmosphere albeit with the England fans with their band. It was hard to call a 8:0 thrashing a "match" but it was a good confidence booster for the team. The first goal was from a hapless San Marino defender who shinned a bullet into his own net. Others followed from: the Ox, a brace from Defoe, Frank Lampard, a nice"Ronny-esque" free kick from Rooney, a nice shot from Ashley Young and Sturridge (not in that order).
After the thrills and spills of last weeks encounter with the Zebras at the Olympiastadion Hertha travel down south to München to meet 1860 in Spieltag 26.
1860 have a bit of a mixed record of late; they have beaten Braunschweig but then they have lost against VfL Bochum who have been having torrid time of it in the Rückrunde. They are in mid table and wanting to climb a little higher at least whilst Hertha need to consolidate their lead and get of as many of the remaining 27 points as possible. Just 14 points will guarantee promotion!
Braunschweig meanwhile are on the road as well as they visit struggling (except against 1860) VfL Bochum this weekend. You have to fancy them taking three points there I think. Kaiserslautern, in third place are at home to Ingolstadt - that could be open up the playoff spot if 1FCK were to drop points at home.
The team published by Hertha via Twitter on the morning if the match is shown below - no Peter Niemeyer at all (he has flu along with Peer Kluge) and Fabian Holland is on the bench again . .
distance affairs with little real threat.
The second half got off to a slightly more brisk start but "Die Löwen" were having the best if it and Hertha were lucky not to go a goal down.
Jos Luhukay made his changes: Ben-Hatira for Schulz in the 66th, Sami Allagui replaced by Ben Sahar in the 71st and Sandro Wagner on for Adrian Ramos with 10 minutes to go. All to no avail.
The game ended in a disappointing 0:0 but a vital point for Hertha as Kumbela scored for Braunschweig in the 85th minute to bring them within a point of Hertha at the top of the table.
On Sunday Kaiserslautern won at home against Ingolstadt and so narrows the gap with Hertha to "just" twelve points with 24 points left to play for in eight games. We need twelve points from those remaining games to be sure FCK cannot catch us and that is by no means certain. We could still have a big fight on our hands depending on how FCK does in their matches but Köln could still put a spanner in their works and on Monday they took a major step towards that. They beat Dynamo Dresden 0:2 in Dresden. This means they are only one point off Kaiserslautern and that play off spot and thirteen ponts behind the OLd Lady.
It of course goes without saying that Braunschweig could put a spanner in our works on Spieltag 28! There is still a great deal to play for in this season . . . .
On Saturday we went to visit the DDR Museum near the Dom / cathedral in Berlin. I'm not big on museums normally but this was a good one. It is quite small but the design makes very good use of the limited space available.
There were examples of everyday artefacts from the old "East Germany" ranging from the classic old Trabant (2-stroke compact "people's" car) to children's books and toys. You can even sit in the Trabant if you like. The displays were really interesting and labelled in both German and English. The later covers must visitors from outside Germany.
There is a great cafe attached to the museum selling foods from the east including the Ossie versions of Bockwurst, Currywurst and pizza! I understand the cafe was frequented by the great and the good in the 90's after the wall came down. The visiting celebs including Otto Rehagel for those interested in Bundesliga History.
The Monday match for the 2. Bundeslia was the second v third place battle between Eintracht Braunschweig and Kaiserslautern. The first half didn't really look too convincing for either side but the deadlock was broken by Mitchell Weiser in the 44th minute. 1FCK had chances but their strikers didn't really feel up to taking them. Then, in the78th minute Braunschweig made them pay the price when, who else but Dominick Kumbela knocked in the equaliser. There were chances after this but none were taken and it ended 1:1 with a point each.
Hertha are now at the top of the table, three points clear of Braunschweig! They are also 14 points clear of the playoff spot as well! Spieltag 25 has been a great weekend for Hertha BSC - fabulous!
The Blue Zebras . . .
Hot on the heels of their home win against Braunschweig in Spieltag 24. the Blue Zebras of MSV Duisburg come to the Olympiastadion on Sunday the 10th. It looks like it will be quite cool on Sunday. The forecast says -2°C with perhaps a little snow. Lets hope Hertha will give the Zebras a cool reception and get back to winning ways on the weekend!
MSV have had a mixed bag of results leading up to this match. Six points from a possible 15 with with three draws one win but one loss in the last five matches. Hertha have three wins, one draw and a loss in the same period. But, importantly, Hertha came back from Dresden with nothing last week so we have lost some momentum recently.
Hertha will need to be careful, Duisburg very sportingly beat Braunschweig in the last game so they will be no push over. We have absolutely no grounds for complacency but we can, and must, win this one.. We need every point here as a lot could happen still between now and the end if the season with 30 points still up for grabs.
On Spieltag 25, as always, much may depend on which Ronny comes out to play on Sunday. Well I hope I hope he enjoys playing in the snow! I woke up on match day to find a sea of white outside, with snow "flakes" the size of large marbles floating down from the depressingly normal grey Berlin sky.
The Olympiastadion was blanketed in snow today and the temperature was dropping as the afternoon went on. The fine powdery snow was drifting off the stadium roof blowing past the flood lights creating a weird misty effect in the stadium at times.
The pitch was clear however so the ground staff must have worked hard keeping it clear as a lot of snow had fallen overnight.
Before the match - the pitch was clear of snow although everything outside was white.
A great home win for Hertha who romp home against the Zebras with goals from Adrian Ramos, Ronny and a brace from Sami Allagui. It was a little confused at the time where one of the goals from Sami was thought to be an own goal by a defending Zebra. When I got home my apps were all crediting Sami and I am sure he will take it! The final whistle saw a scoreline of 4:2 and a joyous crowd - Ha Ho He Hertha BSC!
This leaves Hertha top of the table and, until Monday at least, 15 points clear of Kaiserslautern and four points from Braunschweig. We will be top on Monday no matter what happens!
If Kaiserslautern win - we remain four points clear at the top although the gap above the playoff spot is cut back to twelve.
If Braunschweig win - it leaves Hertha with a massive 15 points gap above the playoff spot with only 27 left to play for!

If you Google the term self-disruption, you'll uncover countless more stories like these and CEOs such as James Quincey driving a change agenda. Think about that. Companies are under so much pressure to evolve constantly that they need to have a game plan to change constantly from within before someone or something else kills them.
Perhaps you and your organization are in a similar situation. Before you and your teams embark on your innovation journey, it's imperative that you have the foundations for success accounted for. It's one thing to discover areas of opportunity but entirely another to have the capacity to bring those opportunities to life and provide real, tangible value to your customers and the company itself.
The new era of product funding is upon us. A recently published Harvard Business Review article, "The Mindset Your Company Needs to Grow Organically," highlight the need for leadership to take a more "venture capitalist" view of their budget's responsibility and focus. An organization's leadership should navigate away from "How much of a return can we expect after the conclusion of this project?" to "What can we expect to learn and discover from this iteration, and how might we activate those lessons into our portfolio of products?" Similar to how a savvy venture capitalist would manage her portfolio of investments – choosing to continue funding her more promising firms and decreasing funding for those that underperform – leadership should manage its own suite of initiatives. Funding needs to be fluid and iterative akin to the same repeatable cadence as the discovery teams who work in short, measured bursts.
I've seen great initiatives stall and lose valuable momentum due to slow, antiquated methods of funding. Too often, teams work towards a deadline when the funding is scheduled to stop and rush to deliver a smorgasbord of features in hopes that a majority of the outputs resonates with their audience. Then, they measure their success and hope to get additional funding for the next release. This process is painfully inadequate in today's modern digital landscape.
Instead, organizations must allow the teams to prove and realize value in a rapid, iterative manner. Doing so is facilitated by an equally nimble funding process.
Iterative learning and growth require a culture that facilitates and incentivizes learning. Priority should be placed on constantly validating hypothesis to uncover new opportunities. Sometimes a hypothesis that may have proved false in one iteration may prove true in another. Therefore, it is very important to reevaluate all aspects of the product ecosystem routinely.
An organization must be prepared to discover and onboard new insights and have mechanisms in place to synthesize and disseminate the information to all impacted members. This approach is enabled by the careful coordination of people, process, and products employed by the company.
Insights and discoveries need to be activated in a timely manner. Teams should take full advantage of the delivery methods afforded them to quickly ship lovable experiences to their audience. Organizations must empower teams to not only deliver mission critical features and products but also to measure against the anticipated impact with the customers straight away. This approach allows for prompt and critical evaluation of the experience to inform the next iteration of the innovation cycle.
I have noticed companies focusing hard in this area of innovation yet remain challenged in realizing success. While organizations do an excellent job of executing quickly, many have not readied themselves in validating their findings in a meaningful and efficient manner.
Innovation in today's hyper fast business environment demands a dedicated ecosystem designed to activate crucial insights in quick succession. Teams big and small should take stock of their innovation environment and take proactive steps to ensure their readiness for success.
