The facilitator: An interview with new NIRI CEO Gary LaBranche

New CEO aims to build organization by consensus

NIRI's new CEO and president Gary LaBranche is a man who is a consensus builder and facilitator, he tells IR Magazine in an exclusive interview.
LaBranche, who takes up his role on March 17, says he will start with getting to know the NIRI staff, the board, and the leaders of the NIRI chapters, but has no confined plan from day one. 'When I come to an organization I do not come with some preconceived notions or a barrel of things I have in my head I am going to do. I start with 'who' before 'what'.
'I do a lot of listening. It is critically important I understand where we are as an organization and a profession. My job is not to dictate those things. It is to find consensus about where people in the organization want to go: then figure how to get that done. I am a facilitator. I take a very consultative approach.'
NIRI he notes, is by its nature, collaborative. 'In an institute environment you cannot really command. You can convince. You can cajole. You can cooperate and collaborate. But you cannot command. You need to get people to understand all the points of view and come to some level of consensus. To do this, you have to facilitate both dialogue and engagement. And to facilitate, sometimes you get people to think about things in new and exciting ways.'
NIRI mission
'We are', he says, to coin a phrase 'all in this together.' He then lists all the relevant connected groups, something of a comprehensive roll call: the IR staff and board, the membership, the chapter leaders, all the constituency groups, the younger professionals, the fellows, IR Magazine, the entire IR industry and people who are not members. 'The mission of NIRI is to advance the entire profession. That means it is not a closed club. It has a very inclusive approach.'
LaBranche has most recently been president and CEO of the Association for Corporate Growth, a global organization of 59 chapters in 10 countries, with $29 mn in revenue and 160 staff. An association executive for more than 35 years, LaBranche has served as CEO for three organizations. 'My focus for most of my career has been working with organizations to transform and grow. That is what I enjoy. I love working with people to help them to work together to achieve common goals.'
Does LaBranche therefore want to develop the profession in a particular way? He cites the importance of NIRI's IRC Credential. 'The credential is just getting off the ground, so establishing and expanding it will really help establish the profession's identity, authenticity and thought leadership.'
He says it will benefit the work of IROs in a number of ways: 'It is a way we can identify what is an IR professional, the knowledge needed and the responsibilities performed by an investor relations officer. So the credential is central to our identity as a profession.'
Student of management
He describes himself as 'an avid student of management'. He says: 'I have been very influenced by the likes of [management guru] Peter Drucker who helped me better understand what management, leadership and organizations are all about.'
LaBranche comes back to his facilitator role. 'The ultimate challenge for an organizational leader is to facilitate and develop consensus with a large, diverse group of people, each with their own wants, needs and ambitions and help harness those people together.'
When I ask NIRI board chair Valerie Haertel what made LaBranche the right choice, she lists a number of qualities. 'Gary had so many qualities NIRI was looking for. He is a strategist. And the way he approaches things is through collaboration to move an organization forward. He has a track record of success in membership organizations and increasing the value to members. That was very important to us. We are always making sure we offer the best support.
'He also has leadership experience in repositioning organizations to capitalize on their strengths and a solid background in the financial services sector, which was very important to the membership.'
Therefore, what will be success look like going forward to which LaBranche will be measured? 'First and foremost it is about how our members feel about his performance and his leadership,' she says. 'I would say staying engaged with our members and listening to their level of satisfaction.'
Then she lists other criteria: 'Looking forward, we want to grow the organization in new and innovative ways we haven't imagined before as the profession continues to evolve, while raising the visibility of NIRI as a leading IR association globally.'

Balch & Bingham Announces Passing of Our Former Chairman, Eason Balch, Sr.
Balch & Bingham is deeply saddened by the loss of our former chairman, namesake of our firm, colleague and friend, Eason Balch, Sr. Mr. Balch died peacefully at his home on April 14, 2018. He was 98 years old.
Mr. Balch led Balch & Bingham from 1962 to 1988, a period in which the Firm fully developed its corporate, banking and bond practice and merged with the Smith, Bowman and Thagard firm to establish our Montgomery office. He was a true visionary and a great and forceful leader. His interest in Balch continued after his retirement and he helped each one of us in many ways that we might not even know about. He was always an eager and enthusiastic mentor to younger lawyers, for which we are very grateful.
He was also a nationally-recognized electricity and public utility lawyer. He was a leader in various national utility lawyer organizations including the Edison Electric Institute Legal Committee and the American Bar Association Public Utility, Communications and Transportation Section.
Mr. Balch was also particularly and justifiably-proud of his service in the United States Army during World War II. More about his service in the United States Army can be found here. It is an understatement to say we owe much of what we are as a firm to Mr. Balch. We have lost a great leader.
Services for Mr. Balch will be held at the Cathedral Church of the Advent in Birmingham, Alabama at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, April 20. The family will receive friends after the service.


AfN governs the UK Voluntary Register of Nutritionists (UKVRN) to distinguish nutrition practitioners who meet rigorously applied training, competence and professional practice criteria. Its purpose is to protect the public and assure the credibility of nutrition as a responsible profession.
Registered Associate Nutritionist (ANutr) typically graduated from a BSc (Hons) or MSc in nutrition science. A Registered Associate Nutritionist can prove underpinning scientific knowledge in evidence-based nutrition but has yet to acquire significant experience of the practical application of this knowledge.
Registered Nutritionist (RNutr) qualified nutrition professionals with demonstrable experience of degree-level, evidence-based practice in a specialist area of nutrition competency; animal nutrition, food, nutrition science, public health and/or sport & exercise.
All UKVRN Registrants have a minimum of degree-level nutrition science and have committed to adhere to the AfN Standards of Ethics, Conduct and Performance.
A Fellow of the Association for Nutrition (FAfN) has been a Registered Nutritionist (RNutr) for at least five continuous years and has made a significant and sustained contribution to the advancement of nutrition regulation, practice, research or education at national/international level.
AfN is dedicated to raising public, employer and government awareness of this growing body of nutrition professionals whose practice is science-based and whose details are publicly available via our online listing.
Have you been working in nutrition for around 3 years since you registered as a Registered Associate Nutritionist?

Q: DAX: Calculate only when data is present for all years in dataset I have a data set that contains sales forecast data by year over 5 years.
Each row has customer, item type, year, qty and sales price.
Not all customers buy all products in all years.
I want to get a list of all products that are purchased in all of the listed years.
An example, cut-down table looks like this:

Customer    Product Year    Qty Price
CustA       ProdA   2020    50  100
CustA       ProdA   2021    50  100
CustA       ProdA   2022    50  100
CustA       ProdB   2020    50  100
CustA       ProdB   2021    50  100
CustA       ProdC   2021    50  100
CustA       ProdC   2022    50  100
CustA       ProdD   2020    50  100
CustA       ProdD   2021    50  100
CustA       ProdD   2022    50  100
CustB       ProdA   2021    50  100
CustB       ProdA   2022    50  100
CustB       ProdC   2020    50  100
CustB       ProdC   2021    50  100
CustB       ProdC   2022    50  100
CustB       ProdD   2020    50  100
CustB       ProdD   2021    0   100
CustB       ProdD   2022    50  100

And transposed, looks like this:

Customer    Product     2020    2021    2022
CustA       ProdA       50      50      50
CustA       ProdB       50      50
CustA       ProdC               50      50
CustA       ProdD       50      50      50
CustB       ProdA               50      50
CustB       ProdC       50      50      50
CustB       ProdD       50      0       50

So, for this example, I'd want to do calculations on, or indicate rows that have a sales qty for all three years.  I was trying to use the following formula which I would have compared with the max number of years in the set to mark a row as valid or not, but it's killing Excel. There are only 32,000 rows in the source table.
=CALCULATE(
      DISTINCTCOUNT(DataTable[Year]),
      filter(DataTable, DataTable[Product] = EARLIER(DataTable[Product])),
      filter(DataTable, DataTable[Customer] = EARLIER(DataTable[Customer])),
      filter(DataTable, DataTable[Qty] > 0)
    )

Is there a better approach I could use for this?

A: You dont need to use dax to achieve this. Create a matrix visualization using the needed data.
It should looks like this:

Remember to disable the total and subtotal options.
This is other solution using a new column so you dont have to expand the matrix.
Column = COMBINEVALUES( " ", Table[Customer], Table[Product] )

Hope it helps you.

A: How about this?
ProductList =
VAR AllYears = DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'DataTable'[Year] )
VAR Summary =
    SUMMARIZE (
        'DataTable',
        'DataTable'[Product],
        "YearsPurchased", CALCULATE (
            DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'DataTable'[Year] ),
           'DataTable'[Qty] > 0
        )
    )
RETURN
    SELECTCOLUMNS (
        FILTER ( Summary, [YearsPurchased] = AllYears ),
        "Product", [Product]
    )

The Summary aggregates at the Product level and looks at how many distinct years it had with non-zero quantity. Then you just filter for the ones that match AllYears and take the Product column.

Note that this returns a single column table and thus doesn't work as a calculated column or measure but a list is what you asked for.
Edit: To get the YearsPurchased as a calculated column, you just need part of this:
YearsPurchased =
CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'DataTable'[Year] ),
    FILTER ( ALLEXCEPT ( 'DataTable', 'DataTable'[Product] ), 'DataTable'[Qty] > 0 )
)

Charles F. Craig
This well known work, originally written by Admiral Stitt, and now in its tenth edition, has always been one of the best practical texts upon the subjects of which it treats and the present edition is no exception to the rule. Although Admiral Stitt's name appears upon the title page none of the chapters are written by him so far as the reviewer has been able to ascertain and there is a considerable difference in the quality of the chapters presented by the different authors who have contributed to the book. No less than eight contributors, in addition to Dry. Clough and Branham, have written chapters for this work, so that it is in reality a composite one, so far as the new edition is concerned.
The first six chapters upon the subject of bacteriology are written by Dr. Branham and these chapters are most satisfactory, being well written, up-to-date and thorough.

Justin M. Andrews
This is an engaging and exhaustive account of observations made over a period of twenty years during which a barren, malaria-producing swamp was converted to a healthful land which "now knows the weight of the plow and nourishes the neighboring communities." The quotation is from Horace and is one of many classical references occurring in this report.
The Mendil River Swamp, an area of some 890 acres, was situated about three miles southwest of Algiers, between the towns of Birtouta and Boufarik. These names will be familiar to numerous service men who were billeted nearby during World War II. Comprehensive accounts are given of the topography, geology and meteorology of the region and how their influences contributed to the formation of the swamp. The local flora and fauna are described. Brief summaries are given of the cultural history of the area in ancient times and under Moslem and later under French rule.
Ernest Muir, C.M.G., C.I.E., M.D., F.R.C.S. Edin. Manual of Leprosy
G. W. McCoy
This is the second new book on leprosy by British authorities in about a year, the other being the Practical Text Book of Leprosy by Dr. R. G. Cochrane of Madras. The appearance of the two volumes probably indicates a new interest in the subject, due to the more recent encouraging outlook for patients on account of the introduction of the newer therapeutic agents and to a new and more intelligent interest in the public health aspects of leprosy.
Dr. Muir is an experienced student of the disease and might be considered the dean of British leprologists. This work, as the name implies, is a hand book for the busy practitioner and for doctors, nurses and laymen who have to deal with leprosy.
The book is divided into 27 chapters, arranged in three parts, the first being devoted to the nature of leprosy, including classification; the second is devoted to diagnosis and treatment; the third deals with control measures in a broad sense.

Awards for Romanians Living in Neighbouring Countries
On Monday, the Romanian Cultural Institute received the leaders of the Romanian historical communities in the neighbouring countries.
According to statistics, some three million Romanian nationals live abroad. Most of them live in Western countries such as Italy and Spain and even the USA and Canada. They have left Romania in the last 20 years when, after the fall of the communist dictatorship, this country has opened its borders, which were closed until then, and they have been allowed access to the Western labour market.
Unlike Italians or Irish people, Romanians do not have a historical tradition of emigration and their diaspora, a recent one actually, has been closely linked to the motherland, where they have relatives, friends and properties. However, there are also millennium-old Romanian historical communities in the neighbouring countries. It is for them that the Romanian Cultural Institute on Monday evening organized the Excellence Awards Gala.
On that occasion, outstanding intellectuals, artists and young journalists actively fostering Romanian values in the Republic of Moldova with a predominantly Romanian-speaking population and Ukraine – Romanian territories annexed in the wake of an ultimatum in 1940 – as well as Romanians in Serbia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Albania and Macedonia were awarded prizes.
A lot of participants in the Gala called on the Romanian authorities to support their communities confronted with a tough denationalization process. The Macedo-Romanians, speaking a dialect of the Romanian language, form the remotest of all communities represented at the Gala.
Ilia Gjoka, a representative of the Macedo-Romanians from Albania reiterated the importance of the support they get from Bucharest: "Actually, I perceive the message which this prize gets across as one of continued support from our motherland and I thank you for it once again."
The leaders of the Romanian communities in neighbouring Serbia and Bulgaria, including hundreds of thousands of people, denounced again the danger posed by assimilation, in the absence of tuition and religious services in Romanian. 40 years ago, villages were 100% Romanian, said Victor Nisu, the oldest representative of a cultural association from Bulgaria, who deplored the shortage of schools.
Father Boian Alexandrovici, a consistent activist for the preservation of the Romanians' cultural, linguistic and religious identity in the Timoc Valley, Eastern Serbia, said the Romanian community there was not recognized as an ethnic minority: "We do whatever we can and you, our brethren from Romania, from the motherland, must support us because unless we're supported at these last moments of assimilation, we'll lose our identity."
In his message to the participants in the Gala, the president of the Romanian Cultural Institute, Radu Boroianu calls them "more than a group of people, more than a distinct community." You are, he said, a part of Romania, a part of the Romanian people.

Twelve Extreme Animal Modifications in the Name of Science
Mouse milk (for people), spider-goats, pain-free cattle, and nine more
By Dan Nosowitz | Published Nov 16, 2010 12:15 AM
via Irish Times
Scientists just can't leave animals well enough alone. In some cases, it's for our benefit, whether we want to create new medicine, create better drug-sniffing dogs, or just breed giant delicious salmon. But sometimes it's for the animals themselves, shown with groundbreaking prostheses or embedded GPS to protect endangered animals from poachers. Check out our gallery of twelve of the craziest ways scientists are messing with animals.
Click to launch our tour of science-customized animals
Whether these are good or bad for us, ethically, morally, environmentally…well, those are arguments that won't stop raging anytime soon. (See the truckload of legislation attempting to variously ban or promote genetically modified animals for food, if you want an exhausting amount of examples.) One thing, at least, is beyond arguing: Those cloned drug-sniffer puppies are super cute, right guys?
Enlarged, Hyperoxic Dragonflies
A recent Arizona State University study, presented at the Geological Society of America's 2010 conference, found that dragonflies reared in a hyperoxic environment (one with a higher-than-average concentration of oxygen) grew significantly larger. Much to our disappointment, we're not talking about eagle-sized dragonflies here, but a growth of around 15% is still a pretty interesting discovery. The study was constructed to provide more insight into the effects a hyperoxic environment–like the kind our planet enjoyed in the late Paleozoic–might have had on animal gigantism. It is true, after all, that most of the most badass megafauna, including the Terror Bird and elephant-sized Giant Ground Sloth, are no longer around to scare the crap out of us, and this study indicates that part of the reason may be the decreased amount of oxygen in the air. The growth does seem to vary by species, however, since cockroaches exhibited no notable growth in the hyperoxic environment. Still, the fact remains that a simple change in oxygen levels produced naturally giant dragonflies–too bad we can't release them into the wild to take care of those deadly mosquitoes.
Ruppy, the Glowing Transgenic Puppy
Glowing, transgenic lab animals seems to be a fad these days. A quick list of the veritable animal kingdom that has been implanted with glowing jellyfish DNA includes pigs, mice, rhesus monkeys, voles, naked mole rats, and marmosets. But Ruppy the Glowing Puppy, a cloned beagle that glows red under UV light, has gotten the lion's share of attention, largely because he's adorable. Scientists are experimenting with transgenics to see how genes are passed down from parent to child. The jellyfish DNA that makes these puppies glow was chosen (supposedly) not for its cool futuristic Tron aesthetic but because it's incredibly easy to see if the splicing worked. All the scientists have to do is shine a quick UV light on the animal and bam, they get a quick yes or no. So far, it hasn't worked all that well, but transgenics researchers are confident that this line of work will eventually help them learn more about how diseases are passed to a new generation.
The Spider-Goat
The weirdness/awesomeness of transgenics don't stop at glowing beagles–they extend as far as the delightfully named spider-goat. The spider-goat is not, thankfully, a goat-sized spider with huge nightmare pincers, but is actually a goat in most respects–except its milk. A goat whose DNA has been altered to include some spider DNA provides a very curious milk that can be purified, dried, and spun into very spider-like silk. That's both uncomfortably weird and incredibly useful. Spider silk, after all, is a fascinating substance–famously strong, light, and already spun. But spiders do not take well to farming, and as they are (thank god) mostly teeny little creatures, they don't produce enough silk to be useful in large-scale production. These transgenic goats, created by Randy Lewis at the University of Wyoming, produce about a half ounce of silk from every quart of milk–the equivalent of a hundred spiders. So do not fear the spider-goat! Love it, for it may some day be responsible for your un-tearable sweater, your artificial tendon, or your unbreakable parachute cord!
Bionic Cat
Back in 2010, Oscar (pictured) became the first kitty to get prosthetic legs attached directly to his anklebones. The technology—called intraosseous transcutaneous amputation prosthetics, or ITAP—mimics the porousness of deer antlers to fuse flesh and metal together in a tight seal that keeps out dirt and bacteria. ITAP has since been tested in humans, who say the implanted prosthetic legs are much more comfortable than the detachable kind.
Magnets Throw Off a Croc's Sense of Direction
Sometimes science doesn't take place in a sterile lab, with beakers and pipettes and clipboards and test tubes, but out in nature, with lots of electrical tape and one very angry crocodile. South Floridians, you see, have problems not just with the more common (on these shores, anyway) alligator, but also with crocodiles. There's a population of around 2,000 crocodiles in South Florida, few enough that it seems inappropriate to just shoot them outright when they crawl out of the canals and into your grandma's retirement community, so Floridian biologists have worked out a non-lethal method to make sure they stay away from people's lawns. Crocodiles have an acute sense of direction, and even if they're captured and moved far away, they have an instinct to use that sense to get back to where they were. Their directional savvy is the result of an internal magnetic navigation system, and therein lies the flaw: We know how to mess with magnets! Floridian biologists have lately been experimenting with the distinctly lo-fi method of disrupting the crocs' navigational sense: They tape magnets to a croc's head with electrical tape before moving it far away, and then remove the magnets once it's released into a more suitable (read: fewer grandmas) habitat. The magnets apparently are effective in disrupting the croc's sense of direction, and the croc will typically not be able to return to wherever it was causing such a ruckus. Who knew that crocodiles worked pretty much like cassette tapes?
GPS-Implanted Rhino Horns
GPS chips have been used to track animals for years, especially wide-ranging ones like marine animals. But GPS-tagging an animal gets a lot cooler when that animal's face looks exactly like an antenna already. Rhinos in the Mafikeng Game Reserve in South Africa are very much at risk–200 have already been killed this year by poachers after their horns, prized in traditional Chinese medicine. Rangers at the Mafikeng Game Reserve have taken it upon themselves to start tracking their animals more closely by, coincidentally, using the exact target of the poachers' desire. They drill a small hole in the dead part of the rhino's horn (the horns are made of keratin, and don't have nerves, so drilling causes them no pain–just like clipping your fingernails) and insert a small GPS unit inside. The GPS unit is pretty sophisticated, really, allowing for different kinds of alarms to be sent. If the rhino is motionless for an abnormally long time, if it leaves the reserve, or if it begins running, the park rangers receive an alert and a location and can track down the animal very quickly to make sure it's okay.
Got a Great Dog? Clone It
Drug- and bomb-sniffing dogs are tremendously valuable. A lengthy and expensive study by the U.S. Department of Defense recently concluded that the dog reigns supreme as the world's best bomb detector, an accolade shared by drug-sniffing dogs. But true sniffer dogs are rare–only about 30% of pre-bred sniffer dogs pass the stringent tests required to be a professional drug-sniffing dog. So why not just take a great sniffer dog and clone it instead? That's exactly what a group of South Korean scientists did, and it seems to be paying off. A "star drug-sniffing Canadian labrador retriever" was cloned, resulting in a seven-puppy litter, six of which are now serving as drug-sniffing dogs across South Korea. (They're all named Toppy, a portmanteau of "tomorrow" and "puppy.") Airport security reports that they take to the training much more quickly than bred, rather than cloned, sniffer dogs, and as a bonus, they are all (exactly equally) adorable.
Mouse Milk, for Humans
Synthetic baby formula, though totally effective, does nonetheless lack some of the proteins and other organic properties of actual breast milk. Some of those proteins have been linked to improved immune systems in babies, so it's always worth messing around to try to improve baby formula–although mouse milk may not be the first thing that comes to mind. A team of Russian scientists is experimenting with splicing certain human genes into mice, with the aim of getting the mice to produce milk containing lactoferrin. Lactoferrin is a naturally occurring protein in humans that provides babies with bacterial and fungal protection, and it's distinctly lacking in artificial formula. You might ask what the point of creating fantastic milking mice is, a totally reasonable question. Mice in this case are the first line of experimentation–the scientists hope to then expand the research out into other animals that can produce milk in bulk, like goats and cows.
Beef Cattle That Feel No Pain
Among the myriad problems with beef cattle, especially inside the factory farming system, is the pain and suffering the animals are forced to endure before (and during, I suppose) slaughter. There are lots of proposals to make that easier, from grass-fed pasture cattle systems to a reduced volume of cattle, but one of the weirder ones comes from a paper in the journal Neuroethics. The paper makes an argument for a genetic modification that would remove or at least dramatically dim the ability of beef cattle to feel pain. It's conceivably possible–there have been instances of human children with a certain deactivated gene that left them with the inability to feel pain. In people, it's a very undesirable trait, pain being the body's warning system and all, but in cattle due for slaughter, it could be viewed instead as humane. It's not clear if regulatory agencies like the U.S.'s FDA would approve this kind of modification. Any kind of genetically modified meat, be it cloned or otherwise, is a difficult sell these days, but perhaps they'd make an exception for pain-free beef.
AquAdvantage, the Giant Salmon
Ah, the last and most likely to be seen on your bagel, cedar plank, or sashimi platter sometime soon: the AquAdvantage salmon. AquAdvantage salmon is a transgenic blend of three fish: It's mostly an Atlantic salmon, but has been modified to include a gene from a Chinook salmon that itself has been modified to include the gene of an ocean pout, an ugly-looking eel-like fish found off the coast of New England. It's sort of like a transgenic turducken. The combination of Chinook and ocean pout genes allow the AquAdvantage salmon to produce growth hormone all year round, so it grows incredibly quickly. That picture above? That's an AquAdvantage salmon compared to a normal Atlantic salmon of the same age. The company claims the modified fish is environmentally safe and sustainable–the fish are all sterile, so we don't have to worry about them breeding with the native populations, which is a major concern for aquaculture of genetically modified fish. AquAdvantage salmon were deemed safe by the FDA, calling them nutritionally equal to non-GM salmon and capable of being sustainably farmed. But there are lots of dissenters–many groups, including the consumer advocacy group behind Consumer Reports, claim the FDA report is not transparent enough and relies on too little data. Many elected representatives have demanded that GM salmon be prominently identified as such, or, in more extreme cases, simply be banned. The fate of AquAdvantage is still unclear, with the two sides pushing back at each other.
Remote-Controlled Cyborg Beetle
Here's where we get into some truly science-fiction stuff: A cyborg beetle, built with parts you can get at any Radio Shack, that's controlled remotely. This beetle was created as a DARPA-funded project conducted by University of California, Berkeley researchers, and published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience, and it's just as crazy as you'd think. A computer chip was attached to the brain of a giant beetle, so chosen for its bulk and ability to fly with a heavy load. Thanks to this chip and its array of sensors, a researcher was able to control it, using a laptop to cause it to fly around the room. This development could be useful for military purposes, which is why DARPA got involved in the first place. Imagine organic UAVs, almost completely undetectable thanks to looking like (being, actually) an ordinary beetle. Scary/cool!
Robotic Limbs Controlled by Monkey-Thought
Here's one that work work equally well as fodder for the "robots are going to kill us all" and "robots are going to save us all" camps: a robotic limb controlled by the thoughts of a monkey. Maybe there's even a third camp, a usually quiet camp, convinced it'll be monkeys that kill us all. This story takes all comers, really. A series of experiments lead by Dr. Andrew Schwartz at the University of Pittsburgh have created a robotic limb that can be controlled by a monkey's thoughts, after that monkey has been implanted with a chip. They restrained the monkey and managed to get it to use its thoughts to manipulate a robotic arm enough to feed itself. The technique relies on two chip implants, one in the brain (monitoring motor commands) and one in the hand for more control. This newer work shows off some pretty amazing control, far more than just a simple gripper. It also responds to shoulder, elbow, and advanced wrist movements (including pitch, roll, and yaw), more than ever before. The practical uses for this are obvious: amazing new prostheses that can be controlled in an almost-natural fashion.


When deciding for your college football match, the initially point that comes to our thoughts is fashionable and comfortable ncaa apparel.

Victoria Reggie Kennedy: 'Remember: The Child You Save May Be Your Own.'
Endorsing Safe Schools, Safe Students and Their Proactive Child Safety Campaign - Safe Communities = Safe Schools
Story Filed: Friday, August 11, 2000 6:00 AM EST
PRESCOTT, Ariz., Aug 11, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Safe Schools, Safe Students is proud to announce its partnerships with some of the leading child advocacy groups in the United States. Safe Schools, Safe Students, organizer and coordinator of Safe Communities = Safe Schools = Safe Students week is working diligently to provide community/family based solutions to today's violent youth problems.
Victoria Reggie Kennedy, President of Common Sense about Kids and Guns and wife of the Honorable Senator Edward Kennedy (D) Ma. stated earlier today: "Common Sense and the unprecedented, diverse coalition of organizations endorsing the message of safety and responsibility have joined together with Safe Schools, Safe Students because of one overreaching principle: the safety and protection of our children is paramount. Safe Schools, Safe Students and their Safe Communities = Safe Schools Awareness campaign are united in our belief that we can best protect our children by addressing the issue of child safety in a responsible and inclusive way. We are proud to endorse their campaign. Remember: the child you save may be your own."
Big Brothers, Big Sisters national director Judy Vredenburgh announced their endorsement in this statement: "Big Brothers, Big Sisters is proud to endorse the Safe Communities = Safe Schools campaign and are pleased to support such a quality program which will heighten awareness of school and community safety issues while providing information on programs currently working across the nation to create a safer environment for the students of our schools."
"The message of empowerment embodied in the Student Pledge Against Gun Violence is strongly reinforced by the Safe Communities = Safe Schools campaign. October 17, this year's Day of National Concern about Young People and Gun Violence, falls right in the middle of National Safe Schools Week. The overlap of these two initiatives strengthens both, creating an even broader context of awareness for schools and communities all over the country. We endorse this wonderful event and look forward to working with Safe Schools, Safe Students in the years to come."
Mary Lewis Grow, founder and National Coordinator Teri Schroeder, President of I-SAFE America, ( http://www.isafe.org) announced together with Rod Beaumont, of Safe Schools, their collaborating partnership for the I-SAFE America Virtual Awareness Day, October 19, 2000.
Ms. Schroeder stated, "This Partnership is very important to us as a Foundation. Our emphasis on Protecting The Voices of Kids/Teens Online is clearly supported by Safe Schools and that support fostered recognition for the I-SAFE America Virtual Awareness Day." Literally millions of kids access the internet daily and we are happy to align with Safe Schools to promote the voice of safety, on behalf of all kids traveling on the information highway, during National Safety Week.
Safe Schools, Safe Students has the internationally recognized most comprehensive web site on Student Safety issues, including the most comprehensive list of school related violence dating back to 1927. Providing information as well as resources to aid parents, teachers and law enforcement officials they are one of the top authorities on child bullying and suicide.
Tim Field, author of "Bully in Sight" and regarded as the world's leading authority on bullying in both the school and the workplace endorses the Safe Schools, Safe Students initiative. "This is by far the best site I have seen in the US and Canada tackling the challenges and fears of our students. We look forward to working closely to support their efforts."
Additional quotes and endorsements include: "Safe Schools, Safe Students is an excellent illustration and nationwide model of how Arizona's citizens can work together to help better the lives of the children in our state. You have done a wonderful job." Jane Dee Hull, Governor, State of Arizona.
"Ensuring a safe learning environment for our students is very important to me, I appreciate (Safe Schools, Safe Students) and the work they are doing." Howard Dean, M.D. Governor, State of Vermont.
"I appreciate and applaud Safe Schools, Safe Students willingness to help make our communities and children's lives a little safer." Michael O. Leavitt, Governor, State of Utah.
"I appreciate Safe Schools, Safe Students working to implement new programs and courses in our communities to make schools safer and more productive environments. Please feel free to contact me if I may be of any service." W.A. Drew Edmondson, Attorney General, State of Oklahoma.
"Safe Schools, Safe Students is a wonderful resource for parents and teachers, providing information about violence prevention programs that are influencing our children in a positive way in many places across Arizona and the United States." Linda Binder, State Representative, AZ.
"In this time of escalating violence among our youth, I believe the Safe Schools, Safe Students program can only provide positive benefits to all. I wholeheartedly support this program." Kathi Foster, State Representative, AZ.
"I commend you for your innovative program to promote a safe and secure atmosphere for teachers and students. Your program 'Safe Schools, Safe Students, is a wonderful approach to ensuring that teachers and students know what to do in emergency situations as well as keeping up to date on the latest safety related issues facing today's schools." Lori D. Daniels, State Representative - Majority Leader, AZ.
"Safe Schools, Safe Students has come forward and said, 'We want to be part of the solution.' To accomplish this goal, they have become a clearinghouse of information to those interested in making our schools and communities a safe place for our young people. I support Safe Schools, Safe Students in actively eliminating youth violence." Charles E. Seder. Sr. Chief of Police. Prescott Valley. AZ
Parents can visit the site for all types of help as can the media, teachers and law enforcement personnel. "Our greatest need at this time is for corporate sponsors," stated Founder Rod Beaumont. "It appears that in many cases the media and the business world would rather these problems just disappeared -- what they do not realize is that the problems of today's violent youth will soon be their violent workers and will affect their bottom line. An investment now would go a long way to preventing other Columbines, Puducahs and child initiated violence. Safe Schools, Safe Students have well tried and proven resources and workshops including the popular family 'Never Be A Victim' series available for schools and parents. Additionally they publish a monthly newsletter for parents, community leaders and law enforcement officials."
So far Governor's in the following states have officially declared the Week of Oct 15 - 21, 2000, Safe Communities = Safe Schools = Safe Students Week: Rhode Island; Pennsylvania; California; Texas; New Hampshire; Louisiana and South Carolina an additional 30 states are expected to issue proclamations within the next two weeks.

Q: Condensing multiple operations to single line in Python I'm using a for loop that needs to keep track of two count variables (x and y). The way I'm currently implementing this is by adding to each value every iteration:
x, y = 0, 0
for i in range(list):
    x += 1
    y += 1
    if x = 103:
        do something()
        x = 0
    if y = 57:
        do something_else()
        y = 0

Is there a more pythonic way of keeping two count variables? I know variables can be assigned in the same line:
x, y = 0, 0

Is there an equivalent for adding to variables?
Sorry, this question is very rudimentary but the closest question I can find is suggesting using lists, dicts, or functions.


There are endless options when it comes to picking the right sink for your kitchen, including the kitchen sink faucet. Sink faucets come in different colors, materials, and styles. Some options even come with different functional purposes.
Adding a new sink, or just adding a new kitchen sink faucet, offers an affordable way to spruce up your kitchen. In order to avoid problems down the road your faucet needs to be durable and work well for your needs, while also retaining attractive qualities that match the overall tone and style of your kitchen.
Allow us to provide answers about sink faucets. Here we detail different types of kitchen sink faucets to help make your selection process easier.
These are the main different types of faucets for sinks. Of course, the options don't end here but this will get your ideas flowing in regards to picking the perfect kitchen sink faucet for your remodel.
Single handle faucets come with one lever to control all functions. This type of faucet is easy to use and affordable, making it one of the most popular options used in kitchens today. For hot and cold you simply swivel the faucet handle a different direction. In order to reduce or increase water pressure you can lower or raise the lever.
Instead of one handle you get two handles with this type of kitchen sink faucet. One handle controls the hot water and the other handle controls the cold water. Thus allowing you to combine hot and cold water to create the perfect temperature. Dual handle faucets offer a more traditional and high-end look.
Both dual and single handle kitchen faucets can have a pullout feature that allows you to dis-attach the faucet (like a hose) and tug it out. Cleaning stubborn cooking utensils or washing down the sides of your sink, there are many instances when a pullout faucet hose feature is beneficial. You usually can't tell if a faucet has a pullout hose or not until you start to mess it with it, for that reason it's not an aesthetics thing, but instead one of convenience. The important thing is to get one that is high quality; otherwise you might have more problems because the flimsy ones tend to break really easily.
Bar sink faucets are usually used on secondary kitchen sinks. Bar faucets tend to be smaller and offer fewer options than standard kitchen faucets. Although for smaller economy kitchens, a bar sink faucet can be installed for the main sink.
This type of faucet is literally mounted above the sink and attached to the wall instead of the sink. Wall mount kitchen sink faucets offer a unique styling that is ideal for rustic or antique style kitchens.
Many people assume the sink and faucet are all in one, but most sinks don't come with a faucet already attached. This is great because you don't have to get a new sink in order to change out an old faucet. This also means that the type of faucet you select will change the installation method. Some faucets can be attached drilling only one hole, while others require 3 separate holes to be made in either your wall or sink. Depending how much damage you want to do to your surrounding walls and sink, the type of faucet you select may vary.
What type of "arc" does your faucet have? This is such an important question based on the depth of your sink and the types of things you usually use your faucet for. An incorrectly proportioned faucet can make your kitchen tasks a lot harder.
If you regularly clean large pots and other big dishes you probably want a high arc sink, which ranges around 8-10 inches above your sink plane.
If low-hanging windows or other restrictions don't allow you to have a high-arc faucet, there are low arc faucets, which range between 3-8 inches from the sink plane.
Sink Faucets—Clean Up Or Replace?
Faucets harbor a lot of bacteria so it's important to clean them properly and regularly. Take a peak at the bottom of your faucet, do you notice white or gray build up? If so, this is a mineral deposit from the water. Over time these deposits unavoidably build up, eventually stumping the flow of water. If you notice your water is not coming out like it used to, your faucet's aerator likely needs to be cleaned.
One way you can easily clean your sink faucet is to soak it in a bowl of vinegar for 15 minutes—longer if necessary. Then, using a toothbrush you can gently scrub at the surfaces to remove stubborn, stuck on deposits. Make sure to rinse off the sprayer with hot water so that no vinegar remains. Dry thoroughly before returning back into position.
Avoid abrasive cleaners and regularly clean your sink and faucet in order to keep everything in working order. Remember, after so many years it might be time for a new faucet.

And who Anderson like Obama and nine people on and on and it was like. What else what you do then you know and it just completely. That was it and from then on I just this Heath Mike you know on my dream of doing. Howard Jones as we're talking to right now and the so you know having had a bunch of hits that made huge on radio internationally. From your perspective when you're playing onstage and you're looking out over the crowd they're all gone bananas and lose their minds. What song do you play that you think goes over the past like which one do you think crashes. And let it it is this one song that everyone. It seems like everyone in America knows and they don't necessarily know who's maintenance on it. But it was it's no and is flying. And so so he's like Michael income I could play that song. Anyway in America and and people would know it and that's how wonderful thing because it feels like you. Become part of the culture you know you pop this on the current. Of people's lives and done that feels very special to me at the end of the year except that songs specifically you know you can look at the menu which just anything setter just I mean.

Some other Yemeni parents was a pleasant T but but interestingly enough for me to say that and then we just recently on FaceBook that I saw Mimi and it said you know. Great music has no expiration date and basically that is. He wouldn't touch right there. Well I'm I'm obviously. I'm I'm very very happy about I mean other thing you know to me it's it's been because you guys to play my music through the years and that's what I mean. I mean that's the reason because many cuts across generations who knows him and you know it's it's it's it's it's great it's wonderful feeling as announces the people on every words of the song. So. Just putting it a couple of questions about why NASA Howard Jones when you're looking out from here what's on the horizon what's going on. What's going on for the next chapter. Okay well I am I've I've got a brand new song that's in a really cool new animated film called animal crackers. And pathetic you know about is that this rumba could tell it plays it is amazing and these direct assault me out and awesome to write a song for peace in the film. And I I I think I've written a really cool song for them they love and so it could be a little bit of a boost in my profile of the. They let you read you another quick throw line he came out and Elton John it is things. I mean it like not that he needed at night it was like oh my gosh what a second on just blew the place up again. Your next year next atomic bomb I'm an excellent I. Really hoping that it is because it was just raise the profile of it and I'm really proud of the summit and and the faith since so well with in now with my message you know. It's is colds. We're in this together you know stay with me were in this together as very these things like it's like do you know.
