HomeBusiness NewsGoogle CEO Sundar Pichai on Project Dragonfly censored search in China
Google CEO Sundar Pichai on Project Dragonfly censored search in China
August 17, 2018 Business News 0

Sundar Pichai, chief executive officer of Google Inc., speaks during the Google I/O Developers Conference in Mountain View, California, U.S., on Tuesday, May 8, 2018.
At an internal meeting on Thursday, Google CEO Sundar Pichai expressed interest in continuing to expand the company's services in China, but told employees that the company was "not close" to launching a search product there and that whether it would — or could — "is all very unclear."
Pichai's remarks, shared with CNBC by a Google employee, come in the of wake of internal and external backlash following a report from The Intercept in early August that the company was secretly building a censored version of its search engine to launch in China. The effort, dubbed "Project Dragonfly" internally, reportedly included blocking search results for sensitive queries, like "peaceful protest," or suppressing certain search results off of the first page.
Google initially withdrew its search service from China in 2010 due to increased concerns about censorship and cyber attacks, subsequently losing access to the enormous market of 772 million internet users there. Earlier on Thursday, hundreds of employees signed a letter saying that the reported plans raised "urgent moral and ethical issues" and calling for more transparency.
At the company meeting, Pichai said that Google has been "very open about our desire to do more in China," and that the team "has been in an exploration stage for quite a while now" and "exploring many options."
To launch a censored search app in China, Google would face both regulatory and technical hurdles.
The relationship between China and the United States is currently strained by trade conflicts, and a Chinese official told Reuters at the beginning of August that a censored search product did not yet have approval from local authorities.
Plus, Pichai admitted on Thursday that a potential Chinese search engine would be "very, very behind from a quality standpoint." Before Google's search shut down in China, it had less than 30 percent market share, while local giant Baidu had more 76 percent.
Despite not offering search since 2010, Google never actually left China completely, maintaining office space and employees, and releasing a translation and file organization app there in recent years.
"Stepping back, I genuinely do believe we have a positive impact when we engage around the world and I don't see any reason why that would be different in China," Pichai said.
Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who was vocal about Chinese censorship when Google departed in 2010, also spoke at the meeting, saying that any service that Google has launched or prototyped in China has had "a certain set of trade-offs."
"There's a handful of things we have been able to ship in China and that's great," he said. "You know, it's slow going and complicated."

Fox Legal Analyst Says Trump Must Go & Former Bush Aide Accuses Republican Senators of Cover-up
Long-time Fox News legal analyst, Judge Andrew Napolitano, hasn't been getting a lot of air time during Donald Trump's Senate impeachment trial, so he took matters into his own hands and penned a detailed argument for the President's removal for "high crimes and misdemeanors." Napolitano, who was once a Trump supporter, has soured on him as the evidence of wrong-doing has piled up. Yesterday he took it a step further and wrote that while Trump was clearly guilty of multiple crimes, evidence of a specific federal crime isn't necessary to satisfy the Impeachment Clause of the Constitution.
Napolitano: "The Constitution prescribes the bases for impeachment as treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors. However, this use of the word "crimes" does not refer to violations of federal criminal statutes. It refers to behavior that is so destructive of the constitutional order that it is the moral equivalent of statutory crimes."
And the judge is equally clear about Trump's guilt.
Napolitano: "What is required for removal of the president? A demonstration of presidential commission of high crimes and misdemeanors, of which in Trump's case the evidence is ample and uncontradicted."
Former George W. Bush aide and conservative commentator, Michael Gerson, also wrote an op-ed yesterday, but he focused on the President's obstruction of the Ukraine inquiry and the complicity of Senate Republicans. Writing about Trump's strategy in both the Russia and Ukraine scandals he says:
Gerson, Washington Post: "How has the president largely avoided the consequences of his corruption? By employing the methods of his mentor Roy Cohn. Admit nothing. Stonewall investigators. Defy subpoenas. Viciously attack opponents. Flood the zone with exculpatory lies. Feel no shame. Show no mercy. Claim anything short of prison to be complete exoneration."
And Gerson is scathing in his condemnation of Senate Republicans who are complicit in Trump's obstruction, and warns of the eventual consequences for the nation.
Gerson, Washington Post: "In terms that would have gladdened the heart of Richard Nixon in his day, the coverup is working. Senate Republicans seem determined to cover up for Trump's coverup. What is essentially state-run media — Fox News and conservative talk radio — have created a narrative of establishment persecution that covers up for the Senate's coverup of the Trump coverup. The president is protected by layer upon layer of obfuscation, misdirection and deception. Gradually at first, but now in a sudden rush, the norms of truthfulness, public service and ethical behavior have given way. And the message has been sent to Trump and future iterations of Trump: Corruption has no consequence."
Trump's Senate trial isn't over and there is still time for a Republican to rise about party and stand for something beyond short-term political gain. Fox, Rush and Sean would brand them heretics, but history would remember them like attorney Joseph N. Welch who ended Joseph McCarthy's reign of terror in the Senate when he famously asked the Senator, "Have you no sense of decency, sir, ...?" Is there really no Republican Senator now who will stand up for American values, for our Constitution, for simple truth and decency?

Many people don't understand that depression isn't just feeling sad: it's a real disorder, and you can't cure it by saying, "Buck up, sweetie." In a way, this poem is meant to show how most people simply don't understand depression and how people with it feel. A friend of mine was diagnosed with depression, and one night she desperately tried to explain to me what it was like. I was shocked by what I didn't understand. The poem was born from that and told in her perspective.
And in a way, I guess it's true.
But never reaching the top.
But don't ask anything else.
How that girl we know got pregnant.
I am still climbing that godforsaken hill.
When you're not sure if you even exist.
As you ask me what's wrong.
How I wish I could feel anything.
Do you really want to know what depression is like?
Skillfully stowed in the shell of my body.
"You seem so sad lately.
Can't you at least pretend to care?"
Oh, honey, if you only knew.
But I'm no longer listening.
And never strike my dying core.
Is what depression feels like.

Chongqing Feilong Jiangli learns from foreign media that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and Stoneridge have reached an agreement to allow their applications to obtain exemptions from the "parts and components required for safe operation" regulations. FMCSA granted the company a five-year exemption, allowing it to install a camera monitoring system in the rearview mirrors on both sides of the truck, replacing the original rearview mirror equipment with MirrorEye, so that its safety is the same as or even higher than the requirements of the above regulations.
The decision-making of FMCSA effectively uses MirrorEye system as a post-market product through legal channels, aiming at collecting data for NHTSA and carrying out feasibility analysis of MirrorEye application.
MirrorEye replaced the rearview mirror with an integrated external digital camera and a digital surveillance system in the cockpit. Stonewich said that the system expands vision, provides full-color night vision, automatic camera translation, and aims to continuously track the end of the trailer. Compared with the traditional rearview mirror, the system is more secure.
FMCSA validated MirrorEye's wide-angle, narrow-angle and overlooking cameras. It is estimated that the angle of view has been increased by 25%. The failure safety design of the system has been evaluated as follows: CMS has an independent video processing system, which can process images captured by multiple cameras. When one camera fails, other cameras can display images continuously to ensure display. The display can continuously display real-time images.
In fact, MirrorEye may not be safer, but the system has improved the dynamics of European trucks and saved 2-3% of fuel consumption.
Spangenberg, the company's executive, said: "In the future, the system will become a basic platform. If the technology is fully developed in the future, it will also give full play to data storage, data acquisition and real-time insight into road conditions.

Q: How to disable address randomization (ASLR) from an ELF file? Solved:
The solution was calling personality(0x40000). See details below in the comments.
Where does the ASLR flag resides within an ELF file? I need to disable ASLR for a specific library (.so).
I've tried using objdump but I couldn't find out how to do so.
I can't use /proc because it doesn't appear to work on my Android 4.4.4,
so I'm trying to modify the binary.
Edit:
I've compiled the following:
#include <stdio.h>

void* getEIP()
{
    return __builtin_return_address(0) - 0x5;
}

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    printf("EIP located at: %p\n", getEIP());
    return 0;
}

without ASLR (PIE):
arm-linux-androideabi-gcc.exe code.c -o noPIE --sysroot=%NDK%\platforms\android-3\arch-arm

with ASLR (PIE):
arm-linux-androideabi-gcc.exe -fPIE -pie code.c -o withPIE --sysroot=%NDK%\platforms\android-3\arch-arm

The noPIE binary indeed isn't being randomized, even though:
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
2

A:
I need to disable ASLR for a specific library (.so).

You can't (and the ASLR does not reside anywhere in the ELF file because it's not a property of the ELF, it's a property of the kernel).
What you can do is disable randomization for a given process. setarch -R is your friend.

A: I believe ASLR is happening in both cases. See also this.
But in the first case (noPIE binary), the executable itself is having a fixed address; however all the calls to  mmap(2) without MAP_FIXED are randomized, and this includes the loading of the shared libraries.
In the second case (PIE binary), even the executable itself is loaded at some random address by execve(2) (and also of course the shared libraries, which are later mmap-ed by ld-linux(8) mentioned as the "interpreter" inside your ELF files).
You could check by strace(1)-ing both executions.
ASLR is part of the kernel state. Chaning it for mmap-ing a particular shared object does not make any sense, but, as Employed Russian answered, you could disable it with setarch -R for a process and its future child processes (perhaps your parent shell and all its children).

Jemappes is een plaats in de Belgische provincie Henegouwen en een deelgemeente van de stad Bergen. Jemappes was een zelfstandige gemeente tot aan de gemeentelijke herindeling van 1977.

Geschiedenis
Bij Jemappes vond in 1792 de Slag bij Jemappes plaats. Tijdens de Franse periode na de revolutie en de nieuwe administratieve indeling, wars van historische, was er een departement Jemappes (departement) (komt overeen met het huidige Henegouwen) welke genoemd was naar de slag van Jemappes en dus indirect naar de plaats waar die plaatsvond.

Jemappes werd op het eind van het ancien régime een gemeente.

Op 31 mei 1857 was Jemappes een onverwacht strijdtoneel in het liberale verzet tegen de wet op de liefdadige stichtingen, de zogenaamde kloosterwet. De school van de broeders van de christelijke doctrine, op de Place de Jéricho, werd bekogeld met stenen en de meubelen werden verbrand.

In 1870 werd het gehucht Flénu afgesplitst als zelfstandige gemeente. In 1971 werd de gemeente Flénu weer opgeheven en aangehecht bij Jemappes. Bij de gemeentelijke fusies van 1977 werd Jemappes een deelgemeente van Bergen.

The use of animals by psychotherapists has been a growing trend. Psychological problems treated include emotional and behavioral problems, attachment issues, trauma, and developmental disorders. An influential 1970s survey suggests that over 20 percent of therapists in the psychotherapy division of the American Psychological Association incorporated animals into their treatment in some fashion. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the number is much higher today. Since Yeshiva psychologist Boris Levinson popularized the use of animals in the 1960s, Israel has come to be perhaps the most advanced country in the world in the area of animal-assisted psychotherapy (AAP). This is true especially in the area of training programs, theory-building, and clinical practice. Great effort has been put into understanding the mechanisms behind AAP, as well as into developing ethical guidelines that take into account the therapist's responsibility toward both client and animal. This book exposes the world to the theory and practice of AAP as conceived and used in Israel. It emphasizes evidence-based and clinically sound applications, differentiating between AAP, a psychotherapeutic approach, and AAE (animal-assisted education) and AAA (animal-assisted activities), both of which are psychoeducational. Not anyone and his/her dog can become an animal-assisted therapist, and this volume demonstrates not only the promise of animal-assisted psychotherapeutic approaches, but also some of the challenges the field still needs to overcome to gain widespread legitimacy.

3B2 "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God" – What is the Incarnation?
Summary: St Peter's beautiful response to Jesus' question ("Who do you say I am?") contains a wealth of meaning!
What then have I discovered about Jesus, revealed to me as the Christ, the Son of the Living God, my one and only Saviour? Where am I on the life-long journey of discovering Jesus Christ in his divinity and his humanity being sure not to diminish his boundless and immense mystery of being both true God and true man?
Indeed, how can God become man? Surely something is lost of God's infinite mystery in his so doing? Can God truly be wholly present in a man conditioned by human nature's inherent limits that are our everyday experience?
Drawing on Saint Thomas Aquinas, what analogies have we need of when put before the mystery of the Incarnation?
And what biblical verses in particular point to this great choice of God who, in the Word, became flesh?
Why did God become incarnate?

Elon Musk Becomes World's Richest Person with $185bn Net Worth
As his net worth crossed $185bn (£136bn), Elon Musk has become the richest person in the world.
After Tesla's share price rose Thursday, the Tesla and SpaceX entrepreneur was propelled into the top spot, reports BBC.
He takes the top spot from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who had held it since 2017.
Musk's electric car company Tesla has surged in value this year, and hit a market value of $700bn (£516bn) for the first time on Wednesday.
That makes the car company worth more than Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai, GM and Ford combined.
Musk reacted to the news in signature style, replying to a Twitter user sharing the news with the remark "how strange".
An older tweet pinned to the top of his feed offered further insight into his thoughts on personal wealth.
"About half my money is intended to help problems on Earth, and half to help establish a self-sustaining city on Mars to ensure continuation of life (of all species) in case Earth gets hit by a meteor like the dinosaurs or WW3 happens and we destroy ourselves," it reads.
The tycoon's fortunes have been buoyed by politics in the US, where the Democrats will have control of the US Senate in the forthcoming session.
Daniel Ives, an analyst with Wedbush Securities wrote: "A Blue Senate is very bullish and a potential 'game changer' for Tesla and the overall electric vehicle sector, with a more green-driven agenda now certainly in the cards for the next few years."
Expected electric vehicle tax credits would benefit Tesla, "which continues to have an iron grip on the market today", he added.
Over the past year, Bezos has also seen his fortunes rise. The coronavirus pandemic has ensured that Amazon has benefited from greater demand for both its cloud computing services and its online shop.
However, after they split, he gave his ex-wife MacKenzie Scott a 4 percent stake in the company, which helped Musk overtake him.
In addition, the threat of regulation has meant Amazon's stock has not risen as high as it might otherwise have done.

Kjarvalstaðir houses the works of one of Iceland's most influential and recognized artists, Jóhannes S. Kjarval (1885-1972). The building is a fine example of Nordic modernism, it features floor to ceiling windows that look onto the beautiful Klambratún Park a walk away from church Hallgrimskirkja.

Jóhannes S. Kjarval – Can't Draw a Harebell
25.05.2019 – Opened
05.01.2020 – Closes
The artist Eggert Pétursson (b. 1956) has assembled an exhibition of the floral works of Jóhannes S. Kjarval. Upon undertaking this project for Reykjavík Art Museum, Eggert decided to examine the floral factor in Kjarval's work and approach it from an artistic viewpoint. According to Eggert, Kjarval's flower works are more extensive than his own. Kjarval traverses all over. He does not limit himself to botany but paints and sketches flowers around him, be they ornamental plants, potted plants or wildflowers, and last but not least, he paints the flora of the mind. Eggert resolved to categorize the works by their elements and figurative connection and display them as he would his own work. His selection is intended to create a coherent exhibition rather than as a historical overview of Kjarval's floral works. The artworks are divided into three main groups in the three exhibition halls. The center hall contains floral landscapes and images from wild Icelandic flora. This includes works where Kjarval first grapples with wildflowers, mainly heather. In his sketches, common plant species are often recognizable, and these kinds of sketches can be viewed in the display cases. Landscape and flowers are intertwined in Kjarval's works and, in his last years, he painted landscapes of the mind, a grey world, illuminated by flowers. The north hall contains what may be called festive flowers, i.e. cut flowers, potted plants and flower baskets, artwork which Kjarval created as gifts, both from himself and others. Lastly, the south hall is where we find his floral fantasies, where faces and creatures are interlaced with flowers in paintings and sketches.
Sölvi Helgason – Floral Fantasy
25.05.2019 Opened
06.10.2019 Closes
Sölvi Helgason (1820-1895), or Sólon Íslandus as he also called himself, is indisputably Iceland's most fascinating folk artist; a charismatic outsider both in his life and in his art. He was a rover, a scholar and an artist, but also a capricious eccentric who disobeyed the laws of men and was hence punished with imprisonment. Paper and pigment were rare commodities and hard to obtain in Sölvi's times. His resourcefulness in acquiring necessary materials and paint his images under inadequate conditions, as well as receiving little understanding from his contemporaries, is indeed admirable. Rich and colorful flower compositions characterize Sölvi's works and he repeatedly used the same floral patterns, either as the main subject of the image or as background for portraits.
Sölvi was also a vigorous writer of scholarly texts, as well as his own poetry and reflections, and the back of Sölvi's pictures is often covered in minuscule writings to the very margin. The spontaneous and persistent, passionate creativity of this destitute wanderer is truly laudable, and the artistic value and quality of his work indisputable. It is worth noting that the exhibition Floral Fantasy will have on display 18 previously unknown works by Sölvi Helgason, that have until now been preserved in Denmark. This significant cultural heritage is a generous benefaction to the Icelandic people from Ingrid Nielsen. Most of the works, however, are on loan from the National Museum of Iceland and the National Library of Iceland, apart from one key work which is preserved in Akureyri Museum. These museums receive sincere thanks for a rewarding collaboration and goodwill.
William Morris – Let Beauty Rule
An exhibition on the work of British designer, William Morris. Morris (1834-1896) was an artist, thinker, author and social critic who greatly influenced his time and left a visual heritage and ideology which continue to influence us today. Morris' connection to Iceland is interesting; he visited the country twice during his career, in 1871 and 1873. Morris was greatly affected by his visits to Iceland, the landscape and the culture fascinated him. He is said to have considered himself a man of the north, as was evident in not only his incessant interest in Icelandic literature but also in his unpolished appearance.
This exhibition is a collaboration with the William Morris Gallery in London and Millesgården in Stockholm. It has also been installed in Denmark and Edinburgh. This is the first exhibition in Iceland to cover Morris' diverse career. In addition to previous installations of this exhibition, this one will include a special chapter on the Icelandic connection. The exhibition will be held at Kjarvalsstaðir between June – October 2019, and it opens with intensive communications to the public, school groups, experts and special interest groups. Among other things, the exhibition holds original drawings of Morris' patterns, wallpapers and work processes, paintings, drawings, stained glass windows, furniture and wall-hangings. The original edition of his translations of the Icelandic Sagas will also be on display. The Icelandic chapter of the exhibition will include artifacts, which Morris brought back from Iceland and that influenced his imagery, carved horns and national costumes for example.

In the Shakespeare Authorship Debate, Stratfordians Should Drop the "Conspiracy" Charge
Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford. Is he the subject of some "conspiracy theory"? The answer is no.
Those who defend the grain dealer from Stratford as the man who wrote Shakespeare – the so-called "Stratfordians" – have several labels for opposing schools of thought. One of them is "conspiracy theory."
They should drop that label.
The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, a strong proponent of the Stratfordian point of view, states on its website:
"The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust has fired up a campaign to tackle head-on the conspiracy theories that William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon was not the true author of the plays which bear his name." […] The authorship conspiracy is much ado about nothing."
In protest to the 2011 film Anonymous, which depicts Edward de Vere, the Earl of Oxford, as the true William Shakespeare, the Trust orchestrated a "cover-up" campaign to shroud signs bearing the Bard's name. The Trust explained:
"The cover-up is part of a campaign by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust to tackle the film's conspiracy theory that William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon was a barely literate front man for the Earl of Oxford."
However, in the context of the Shakespeare authorship debate, the "conspiracy theory" label is misplaced, except perhaps in a colloquial sense.
Black's Law Dictionary defines "conspiracy" as follows:
"A combination or confederacy between two or more persons formed for the purpose of committing, by their joint efforts, some unlawful or criminal act, or some act which is lawful in itself, but becomes unlawful when done by the concerted act of the conspirators, or for the purpose of using some criminal or unlawful means to the commission of an act not in itself unlawful."
As far as I know, it's not a crime for an author to write under a pseudonym. During Elizabethan times, a nobleman writing plays for the public stage under his real name would have been frowned upon by his family and peers. Even now, just think how Prince Harry's royal grandmother would react after reading a saucy "The Lass of Las Vegas" that he'd written under his real name. The prince might find himself a step closer to the throne.
Moreover, if "Oxfordians" have it right, the powers-that-be during Elizabethan times would have required Oxford to use a nom de plume, given some of the political messages conveyed by the plays.
Scholars, for instance, believe that Shakespeare based the character Polonious, the meddling, long-winded royal advisor in Hamlet, on Queen Elizabeth's close confidant, Lord Burghley, and in the same play modeled the incestuous Queen Gertrude, who's complicit in robbing Hamlet of the throne, after Elizabeth herself. The evil protagonist in Richard III is seen as mirroring Burghley's son, Robert Cecil, who succeeded him as the Queen's Secretary.
Burghley was Oxford's father-in-law, Cecil his brother-in-law.
Charles Beauclerk's "Shakespeare's Lost Kingdom" cites more examples of how Shakespeare's plays can be seen as political dramas reflecting contemporary events in Queen Elizabeth's court.
Oxford's family, not to mention the Queen, thus would have good reason to want Oxford to use a pseudonym ("William Shakespeare") and for everyone to stay silent about it. Given England's accepted form of totalitarian rule at the time, few, if any of the cognazanti – probably not even Oxford/Shakespeare himself – would view the imposition of such silence as something unlawful, let alone as a "crime." Ditto for the grain dealer acting as Oxford's front man.
No crime, no unlawful means or purpose, no conspiracy, no "conspiracy theory."
What Stratfordians really mean to say is that Oxfordians propose that there was a cover-up to hide Shakespeare's true identity, which – forgive me for wanting to attach correct meanings to words – is different from a "conspiracy." Only the act of concealing or hiding something in needed for a cover-up. Unlike conspiracy, no criminality or unlawful purpose is necessary. A pseudonym, by definition, is a type of cover-up.
Cover-up, yes. Conspiracy, no. Stratfordians should drop the "conspiracy" charge against their opponents.

Ethan Hawke is Engaging in "Shakespeare Uncovered"
In the first part of "Shakespeare Uncovered," the new PBS series which tells "the story behind the stories of Shakespeare's greatest plays," Ethan Hawke delivers an engaging narrative about his desire to understand Macbeth and play its lead character.
Hawke's study of Macbeth is worth watching. He focuses on how the character's mental state evolves throughout the play, and even consults with a forensic psychoanalyst to better comprehend the criminal mind. His discussion is light on topical references to Macbeth, with only a passing mention of King James I and his interest in witches.
Nor does Hawke look to Shakespeare's biography for help in interpreting the play. Instead, we watch him struggling to connect with Macbeth on a personal level, as an actor. In the end, he seems ready to take on the part and one hopes he does.
The second part of "Shakespeare Uncovered" features Joely Richardson discussing Shakespeare's comedies, with an emphasis on "As You Like It" and "Twelfth Night." For me, Richardson delivers a surprise.
First, a bit of background. Richardson played the young Queen Elizabeth I in Roland Emmerich's 2011 film, "Anonymous," which depicts Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, as the playwright using the pseudonym William Shakespeare. Richardson's mother, Vanessa Redgrave, played the older Queen. The controversial film shows the Queen and de Vere (alias Shakespeare) as lovers who have a child together.
In a 2011 interview, Richardson stated that it's "highly improbable" that William of Stratford-upon-Avon was Shakespeare, and that the Earl of Oxford "easily" could have been Shakespeare. With some justification one could have called Richardson an "Oxfordian." But now, listening to her on "Shakespeare Uncovered," it sounds like she has shifted her position 180 degrees.
Her analysis of Shakespeare's comedies is full of allusions to William of Stratford's putative biography. For example, we hear that the loss of his son, Hamnet, influenced his writing of "Twelfth Night," in which Viola thinks her brother Sebastian has drowned at sea.
Redgrave also appears in "Shakespeare Uncovered," conversing with daughter Joely about the Bard's comic heroines. Interestingly, however, Redgrave says nothing to support her daughter's apparent new thinking that Stratford Will was Shakespeare. I, for one, was surprised to hear Richardson espouse that view, although I guess it's possible she hasn't changed her position but is merely reading the script written for her for "Shakespeare Uncovered."
The next two installments of the series air on Friday, February 1. In the first hour, Sir Derek Jacobi will discuss Richard II. According to one advance review, Jacobi will observe that the Earl of Oxford was Shakespeare.
Jeremy Irons will host the second hour, which covers the Henry IV and Henry V history plays. Irons, too, is known as an Oxfordian. Will he surprise us?

PBS Shakespeare Series Has "Oxfordians" Onstage
Sir Derek Jacobi
Joely Richardson
For three consecutive Fridays beginning January 25, PBS is treating Shakespeare lovers to "Shakespeare Uncovered," a new series that "tell the story behind the stories of Shakespeare's greatest plays." Each night will include two 1-hour episodes with different hosts (check local stations for airtimes). Here's the line-up:
January 25: Macbeth with Ethan Hawke (1st hour); As You Like It and Twelfth Night with Joely Richardson and her mother, Vanessa Redgrave (2nd hour)
February 1: Richard II with Sir Derek Jacobi (1st hour); Henry IV and Henry V with Jeremy Irons (2nd hour)
February 8: Hamlet with David Tennant (1st hour); The Tempest with Trevor Nunn (2nd hour)
It's interesting to me how PBS enlisted "Oxfordians" – those who think "William Shakespeare" was the pseudonym used by Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford – to narrate several episodes.
Richardson, Redgrave, and Jacobi all appeared in Anonymous, Roland Emmerich's controversial 2011 film that presented Oxford (played by Rhys Ifans) as Shakespeare. Irons, too, is an Oxfordian.
Indeed, if one counts the number of narrators and plays they discuss, Oxfordians have a slight edge: 5 plays and 4 hosts, versus 3 plays and 3 hosts for non-Oxfordians — those who maintain William of Stratford-upon-Avon was the Bard, or who remain neutral on the question of authorship.
PBS has not been lily-livered when it comes to the controversy over whether Shakespeare was a pseudonym. "The Shakespeare Mystery," a PBS program broadcast in 1989, is described on PBS's website as making "a strong case that the most celebrated writer in the English language was not the man from Stratford. Rather, 'Shakespeare' was a clever nom de plume used by Edward de Vere, a learned Elizabethan court insider, to publish his incomparable, but often politically scandalous, writings."
Given that probably over ninety percent of the theatrical world still believes that William of Stratford was Shakespeare, I'm sure PBS could have found plenty of "Stratfordians" to host all the episodes of "Shakespeare Uncovered." It striketh me that somebody made the conscious decision to include hosts holding the minority opinion about Shakespeare's true identity. Or it could be just a coincidence.
In any event, how much difference can an Oxfordian perspective make when telling "the story behind" a Shakespeare play?
Without previewing the first "Shakespeare Uncovered" episode, one can only guess what Ethan Hawkes, who I assume is in the non-Oxfordian camp, will say about Macbeth.
Hawke invites viewers to join him "in his quest to play Shakespeare's murderous Thane of Cawdor by uncovering the true story that served as inspiration, immersing himself in some of the most memorable and innovative productions and discovering Shakespeare's extraordinary insights into the criminal mind."
The orthodox (Stratfordian) view generally holds that Shakespeare wrote Macbeth around 1607, several years after Oxford's death when Will of Stratford-upon-Avon was still in his forties. According to this view, the play was intended to flatter James I, who had reached the top of the career ladder by going from King of Scotland to King of England. James narrowly escaped death in the infamous Gunpowder Plot, in which Catholic radicals tried to blow up Parliament. Stratfordians see in Macbeth topical references to the Gunpowder Plot. In his book, "Will of the World," Stephen Greenblatt writes that, "Some playwright affiliated with the King's Men [the acting company] — perhaps Shakespeare himself — grasped that this story would make an exciting play."
Oxfordians hold a very different view about Macbeth. Besides believing Shakespeare wrote the play much earlier than 1607, they think a grim drama involving witches and multiple murders would hardly be one to flatter James who, if he saw the play (there's no documentary evidence he did) might have felt that it cast doubt on his own succession. You can read more about the Oxfordian view of Macbeth here: http://www.shakespeare-oxford.com/?p=533.
On "Shakespeare Uncovered," I expect Ethan Hawke will stick to the Stratfordian view and likely mention connections to King James and the Gunpowder Plot, in addition to delving into the Bard's sources for the play and history about Scottish royal succession.
With Joely Richardson and Vanessa Redgrave discussing As You Like It and Twelfth Night, one shouldn't expect any references linking those plays to Stratford Will, such as those Greenblatt describes. Greenblatt emphasizes Stratford Will's "folk" environment, connecting his father's vocation as a wool dealer and glove-maker to lines in As You Like It such as, "we are still handling our ewes; and their fells, you know, are greasy." Greenblatt's take on Twelfth Night includes linking Count Orsino's advice that "the woman take an elder than herself" to Stratford Will's marital unhappiness after being dragged to the altar by an older woman.
As Oxfordians, Richardson and Redgrave, in my opinion, will dispense with such linkage. Instead, they'll likely focus on the personalities of Rosalind in As You Like It, a character Harold Bloom calls "first in poise of all Shakespearean characters," and on Viola, the female heroine in Twelfth Night, arguably the best of Shakespeare's comedies.
In sum, one can expect the Oxfordians featured on "Shakespeare Uncovered" to leave out any discussion of topical references and links between the author's life and his work, and instead take the approach that "the play's the thing."

Review of Movie "Anonymous"
Bottom from Midsummer Night's Dream
Last night I saw Anonymous, the new movie about Shakespeare. It's good. I give it a 3-star rating.
Set in 16th century London, Anonymous is visually stunning, and worth seeing for that reason alone.
I'm an "Oxfordian," one who believes that Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, wrote under the penname William Shakespeare. A growing number of scholars (including two-time Pulitzer Prize winning historian David McCullough) share that belief. In contrast, "Stratfordians" think the fellow from Stratford-upon-Avon (whose actual name was Will Shakspere, not Shakespeare) was the Bard.
The plot of Anonymous seizes upon the authorship question: who was William Shakespeare, the earl of Oxford using a pseudonym, or Will of Stratford-upon-Avon?
The film's director, Roland Emmerich, and its screenwriter, John Orloff, are passionate Oxfordians. Anonymous thus takes one side in the debate, presenting the case for Oxford through a work of historical fiction.
I've written a 400-page historical novel called The Immortalizer, which is about Shakespeare. I can therefore appreciate the challenges the makers of Anonymous faced in telling Oxford's story.
Anonymous revolves around historical events taking place at the end of Elizabeth I's reign, incorporating a Shakespeare (Oxford) storyline. Such an approach is an enormous challenge due to the sheer volume of plot elements the story requires.
For starters, you're dealing with at least three major spheres of action, each with its own set of characters: the Queen's court and noblemen, the Globe theater and writers and players, and the residence of the main character, Oxford, who lives in seclusion. And what is Oxford doing? He's writing and revising all those famous plays, long poems and Sonnets which reflect his life experiences. Lots of flashbacks are needed. Add in historical events, including the war England was waging in Ireland at the time, the failed rebellion that some of Elizabeth's courtiers mounted, and the involvement of the Globe's players in that rebellion, and you have more than just a lot going on. On top of all that, what should be the main event – showing what kind of person Oxford was (which, in short, was incredibly complex) – further complicates the task, making it the equivalent of climbing the Himalayas.
Anonymous has roughly two hours to pull it off. It succeeds.
At times, however, I felt like someone chugging a can of condensed milk. In particular, it troubled me how so many of the facts about Oxford's life were distorted in the interest of compressing its richness to a length suitable for mass consumption.
For example, at the time depicted in the movie, Oxford wasn't living with his first wife, Anne Cecil. She was dead. Several of Shakespeare's plays deal with a man that falsely accuses a spouse, lover or fiancée of infidelity, only to find out he's wrong after learning she's dead. Oxford had a similar experience with Anne Cecil. Oxfordians believe that The Winter's Tale, for instance, is one way Oxford apologized to her. But you won't see such remorse in Anonymous. Instead, you'll see Anne portrayed as Oxford's harping wife who hates him for writing plays. By all accounts Anne Cecil had just the opposite character.
Other examples: Oxford was not stabbed in the leg by a fencing instructor hired to kill him, and Oxford did not kill someone standing behind a curtain reading his poems. At a much earlier time than shown in Anonymous, the uncle of a woman whom Oxford got pregnant fought Oxford in a duel, severely wounding him in the leg. Oxfordians believe Romeo and Juliet reflects this family feud. The person Oxford killed was not someone surreptitiously reading his poems, but a drunk cook. Personally, I see no direct connection between that experience and the scene of Polonius' murder in Hamlet, though Anonymous tries to make one.
The Sonnets – the only time we hear Shakespeare talk about himself at length in the first person – in my view are given too little attention in the movie as a source to show Oxford's thoughts and feelings. Moreover, there are so many major characters and so much going on (at moments I found it confusing), Oxford's presence takes up perhaps only a quarter of the film's length, when he should be the main event. One gets the sense the movie is more about Queen Elizabeth than about Oxford-Shakespeare.
Minor details? Perhaps. But there are so many liberties Anonymous takes with historical facts (those about the rebellion, for instance, are quite distorted) in order to squeeze everything into two hours, some might argue that the entire movie is bunk. In the end, however, it's a matter of personal taste – certain people prefer more accuracy in historical fiction than others, and many likely have no problem with an artist that observes wide boundaries in the exercise of his artistic license.
One more thing. The name of Will from Stratford-upon-Avon was Shakspere, not Shakespeare. As I've said here before (Shakespeare Wrote Shakespeare), many Oxfordians dismiss this point as if it were some minor detail. It's not, in my opinion. Given the good historical evidence showing why Oxford chose the pseudonym Shakespeare (or Shake-speare), it's unfortunate that Anonymous just assumes that Will of Stratford's name was "Shakespeare." Conceding that point to Stratfordians is like handing one of your chess pieces to your opponent before the match even begins.
Anonymous is a good movie and worth seeing. Hopefully, it will encourage individuals to think for themselves in deciding the true identity of William Shakespeare.
Earl of OxfordShakespeare authorship questionDavid McCulloughAnonymousRoland EmmerichJohn Orloff
Shakespeare Wrote Shakespeare
The idea that Shakspere wrote Shakespeare never caught on.
In our zeal in making an argument, sometimes we'll say something that doesn't make the best sense. In my opinion, this has happened in the Shakespeare authorship debate. Allow me to explain.
First, some background. The debate – which is more like a cultural war – is over who wrote the poems and plays attributed to William Shakespeare. One main candidate is William of Stratford-upon-Avon (1616-1624), the man that most people assume was William Shakespeare. The second is Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford (1550-1604). In 1920, a Scotsman named Thomas Looney (pronounced "lo-knee") published a book that showed de Vere, a playwright whom a contemporary called "the best for comedy," wrote under the pseudonym William Shakespeare. "Stratfordians" have battled "Oxfordians" ever since.
"We all know William Shakespeare, the most famous author of all time," begins Sir Derek Jacobi in Anonymous, a new movie from director Roland Emmerich that depicts de Vere as Shakespeare. "But what if I told you," Sir Derek says a moment later, "Shakespeare never wrote a single word?"
And thus begins a new battle in the Great Shakespeare War.
The war has raged on for 80 years. Based on the historical evidence, Looney put forth a strong case that de Vere was Shakespeare. He showed, for instance, that the connections between de Vere's life and the plays are so numerous, the plays read like his autobiography. For the most part, Stratfordians have tried to dismiss Oxfordians as crackpots.
Full disclosure: I think that Looney was right, de Vere was Shakespeare. Many others share that opinion, including two-time Pulitzer Prize winning historian David McCullough, and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
Over the years, the case for de Vere has grown stronger. For example, Professor Roger Strittmater has studied annotations in a Bible owned by de Vere. The marginalia in the de Vere Bible correspond so closely to biblical references found in Shakespeare as to be far beyond mere coincidence.
So what about William of Stratford? Well, for starters, his name was William Shakspere, not William Shakespeare.
Which brings us back to the great Sir Derek Jacobi. Whichever side one takes in the authorship debate, one should admire how he's taken such a pro-de Vere stance at a time when Stratfordians still dominate the theater world. Nonetheless, I think de Vere's soldiers shoot themselves in the foot with rhetoric such as, "Shakespeare never wrote a single word." Even if you agree (as I do) that de Vere was Shakespeare, it's easy to prove such a statement is false.
Think about it. If Edward de Vere was William Shakespeare who wrote the plays, then William Shakespeare was Edward de Vere. This is the associative rule of logic: if A=B, then B=A. William Shakespeare therefore wrote the plays of William Shakespeare, even if the name was de Vere's pseudonym.
What de Vere supporters really want to say is, "Shakspere never wrote a single word." But instead they end up saying "Shakespeare never wrote a single word," which is like saying, "Voltaire never wrote a single word," or "Mark Twain never wrote a single word," or "George Orwell never wrote a single word." It sounds silly.
The latter three names are pseudonyms, but biographies of those authors contain statements such as, "it is unknown exactly when Voltaire wrote Candide," and "Twain began his career writing light, humorous verse." In short, Voltaire wrote Voltaire and Mark Twain wrote Mark Twain – and Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare.
Most Oxfordians underplay the importance of Stratford Will's name, as if it were some minor detail. Instead, they rush to the mountain of other evidence that proves de Vere was Shakespeare. By doing so, Oxfordians get off on the wrong foot, in my opinion, and fall into the deep pit of confusion Stratfordians have been digging for decades.
So here are a few facts worth emphasizing. Will of Stratford was christened "Gulielmus Shakspere." There are six surviving signatures of this man. All of them spell his last name without the 'e' that would make the 'a' sound long, as in "shake." Furthermore, the second syllable of the name is always spelled so it is spoken with the "er" sound as in "her," or the "air" sound as in "pair," not the "ear" sound as in "spear." Stratford Will never signed his name "Shakespeare." Why? The simplest explanation is that his last name was Shakspere, as in "shack-spare."
Those that argue that Stratford Will was Shakespeare but spelled his name Shakspere, will point to Christopher Marlowe, who once signed his name "Christofer Marley," and other contemporary references that spelled "Marlowe" as "Marly" or "Marlin." Or they cite the example of Shackerley Marmion, an early 17th century dramatist whose name sometimes appears as "Shakerly." They also look to the anonymous 1592 play, Arden of Feversham, in which one of the villains is called "Shakbag," sometimes spelled "Shakebag." None of which supports that Shakspere wrote Shakespeare.
Unlike the difference between "Shakspere" and "Shakespeare," the spelling and pronunciation of the first syllable of "Marlowe" doesn't change in the variations. Moreover, we have just one surviving signature of Marlowe's, but six for Shakspere. One can pronounce both "Shackerley" and "Shakerly" with the short 'a' since the second syllable is "er." In any case, that name is not an example of a long 'a' sound remaining after the 'e' is dropped. "Shakbag" is an old word of mid-Yorkshire dialect meaning "a lazy roving person; a vagrant." That's the correct spelling and that's how it appears the vast majority of times in Arden of Feversham. Adding the 'e' creates a misspelling. Those who argue "Shakbag" as proof that Shakspere wrote Shakespeare therefore must also argue that "Shakespeare" is a misspelling of "Shakspere," which is absurd.
In fact, we have contemporary evidence that attributing the plays to William "Shakspere" or "Shakspeare" was a mistake. A 1608 quarto of King Lear names the author as "William Shak-speare." Subsequent quartos correct the name to "William Shake-speare." As Mark Anderson shows in Shakespeare by Another Name, in Elizabethan times a hyphen often signaled that a name was a pseudonym.
Hundreds if not thousands of editions of Shakespeare exist, but only a tiny fraction of them name the author as "Shakspere." In 1868, Charles Knight edited "The Works of William Shakspere." In the early 1900's, Funk & Wagnalls published "The Complete Works of William Shakspere." Clearly, the idea that "Shakspere" was the Bard's correct name never caught on, simply because it wasn't the correct name. The errant "Shakspere" editions serve as further proof that Shakspere wasn't the Bard.
Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare, and he wrote many words at that. Oxfordians would help their cause by clearly stating that fact.

Family raise funds for Sick Children's Trust after little Esmé struggles for life at Royal London
Published: 7:00 AM April 14, 2017 Updated: 8:46 AM October 14, 2020

The parents of a little girl who survived three major lung conditions in hospital at just five weeks old are taking part in a fundraising campaign for the charity that gave them free accommodation to be near the hospital bedside.
Emily and Luke Smallbone experienced every parent's worst nightmare when their baby, Esmé, was rushed to the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel with breathing difficulties.
Esmé fought for her life in the paediatric intensive care unit for four days.
The couple and their eldest daughter Ava were given free 'Home from Home' accommodation at Stevenson House run by the Sick Children's Trust just minutes away from Esmé's hospital bedside.
"It was the worst time of our lives when Esmé was fighting for her life," Emily recalls. "But the charity was there for us, which meant our family wasn't torn apart as we could all be together.
"It was a huge relief and meant we were just minutes from Esmé when she needed us the most. She had all of us there, including her sister, and we believe this had a significant impact on our baby's speedy recovery."
Now two years on, with Esmé doing well back home in Surrey, her parents are taking part in the charity's annual 'Big Chocolate Tea' fundraiser to help other families with children in hospital with free accommodation.
They are holding events at their places of work during campaign week starting next Friday, April 21.
It costs the Trust £30 to support a family in one of its 10 'Homes from Home' centres for one night. Accommodation includes a private bedroom, communal living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, playrooms and laundry facilities.
The annual campaign raised £60,000 last year, which gave 2,000 families accommodation.
Big Chocolate Tea runs April 21 to May 1, but wellwishers can take part any time and receive a free fundraising pack for the event.

'Night night, my darling princess': Distraught family's tributes to girl, 7, found dead in field
The girl, named locally as Katie, was found nearby with serious injuries and was rushed to hospital but died a short time later.

A mum's distraught screams could be heard across a housing estate after she found her seven-year-old daughter dead in a field near a home in York.
Desperate cries of 'no, no, she's my little girl' could be heard by shocked neighbours as they claimed she screamed for help.
Police have arrested a 15-year-old girl over the tragedy after officers were called to an address in Woodthorpe, a residential area of the city at around 4.30pm on Monday.
This morning, the victim's grandparents arrived at the scene to lay flowers.

A heart-wrenching note was left by the pair, that read: "Night night my darling Princess Katie love nana and grandad xx".
Police have said they did "all they could" to help the little girl.

Rob McCartney, 50, who lives in one of the homes next to the track where she was found, said he saw the young girl lying in the field.
He said: "I came to the door to see what was happening there. The mother came running up the street shouting for help and saying 'Get an ambulance'.
"I put my shoes on, went up the side of the house. I could see a young girl lying in the field, police were already attending to her."
Rob added: "(The mother) was back and forth, obviously very, very distraught and who I think was the father turned up.
"I spoke to her later, asked if she was okay and she said 'No, no, she's my little girl'."
He told how the girl had been taken away by paramedics on a stretcher.

He said: "I went to bed thinking she would be okay, she was taken away on a stretcher with an oxygen mask on.
"But of course we woke up to this today".
He added: "It firstly never happens around here and never happens in York. It's awful.
North Yorkshire Police has launched an investigation "to establish the full circumstances" surrounding the girl's death.
Police remained at the site into Tuesday morning.

A police cordon is in place, with yellow police tape across the end of a footpath which runs down the side of one of the cul-de-sac's large detached new-build houses.
Cops also taped over the number plate of a black Peugeot 206 car which has been at the scene overnight.
Locals have expressed shock at the tragic incident.
Danny Smith-Clark wrote online: "Very sad news coming out of woodthorpe tonight r.i.p little girl can't imagine what family are going through"
Councillor Ashley Mason said: "At the minute we send our condolences to those affected by this. It's obviously a very quiet area and it would have really caught a lot of people out and really shocked them.
"It's going to be a really tough time for the family and all we can ask is they are left to grieve and deal with this in their own time."
He described it as a "lovely residential area".

On July 19 of 2017, Tyendinaga Police Chief Ron Maracle showed up in person and armed to demand that Kanyenkehaka (Mohawk) dispensaries providing cannabis to a primarily non-native clientele, immediately shutter their doors.
The official Tyendinaga police badge.
It is important to note that pictograms such as this badge carry a great deal of weight in all human societies. Regardless of whether you speak French, English, or Kayen:keha, if you understand the original agreements made upon this land represented by these symbols, you know exactly what the people who are wearing this badge are purporting to uphold.
The badge shows that the two parties – the Rotiskenrakete and the armed guards of the Crown – have agreed to defend the Iroquois Confederacy together and to protect it by upholding the Two Row and Silver Covenant chain agreements.
The mechanisms to initiate such nation to nation relationships may begin with the armed forces of the Crown tugging on the chain to alert the Rotiskenrakete of an issue that has come up. But that is not the same as entering the circle of the Kayenere:kowa and making threats to people's way of life. The elder Kanasaraken has explained how the Rotiskenrakete are a crucial component of initiating Onkwehonwe diplomacy and international relations, but ultimately the matter needs to come to the Longhouse people as a whole for discussion, which is where it currently is.
Even after the Longhouse began its deliberations, Police Chief Maracle has continued to add pressure on dispensary owners to shut down. Perhaps it is time for he and his officers to reconsider their choice of action, or cease wearing a badge whose very meaning they are dishonouring.

The Gurus Who Say They Can Make Quiet Quitting Disappear—for $15,000 a Day
Some have Ivy League degrees, others have no degrees, but these workplace consultants all say they've got an antidote to the viral trend of employee disengagement
By CALLUM BORCHERS
Fri, Oct 7, 2022 8:46am 4 min
His name is Dean Lindsay, though that's not what he goes by on LinkedIn. "Quiet Quitting Keynote Speaker" is this search-savvy consultant's new moniker, and he says it's helping him get hired—at $10,000 to $15,000 a day—by companies sweating the latest buzzy term for employee disengagement.
Mr. Lindsay, who has been advising businesses about corporate culture for two decades, says quiet quitting is closely related to burnout, work-life balance, stress management and other phenomena that came before. His prescriptions are largely the same, too.
When he saw the viral TikTok phrase had quickly migrated from social media to the C-suite, compelling many bosses to think about how to stop workers from checking out, he didn't hesitate to rebrand, swapping out his name on LinkedIn for something catchy and of-the-moment.
"I just jumped on it," he says.
If you're running a company now, chances are your inbox is full of messages from experts claiming they can goose morale, foster connection, boost buy-in and make various other jargon-studded dreams come true. The people who claim to know the most about quiet quitting are real go-getters, it turns out.
The extent of the problem these consultants aim to solve, and whether it's new, is debatable. Many of them say that's beside the point. Getting people to care more deeply about their jobs and colleagues may be a perpetual corporate mission, but it's an important one, the argument goes. So what if it took a meme to intensify the sense of urgency?
Some, like Mr. Lindsay, run rousing workshops full of motivational mnemonics. (It's all about the six P's of progress, he says: pleasure, peace of mind, profit, prestige, pain avoidance and power.)
Less experienced consultants advertise youth as an advantage, saying they can get through to millennials and Gen Z.
Still others offer to set up employee-driven charitable campaigns, using company dollars, to make people feel better about where they work.
Rising Team, a Palo Alto, Calif., startup that sells camaraderie-building software designed to reduce quitting (quiet or otherwise), just closed a second venture-capital round, bringing total investments to $6 million.
For human-resources leaders, the pitches can seem endless.
Priti Patel, chief people officer at G2, a technology marketplace, says she gets daily emails about solving burnout and quiet quitting.
"I don't even count anymore," she says.
While some solicitations strike her as gimmicky, Ms. Patel says she doesn't roll her eyes at all of them. She landed her current position last year after first working with the company as an independent "conscious leadership" coach, which she describes as helping managers deepen their emotional intelligence.
Her take on quiet quitting is that it's simply the notion of having boundaries at work— hardly new. Nevertheless, establishing the boundaries is a real challenge for managers and direct reports alike, she says, and sometimes an outsider can help set expectations that work for everyone.
Karyn Twaronite, Ernst & Young's global diversity, equity and inclusion officer, adds that HR consultants can lend valuable perspectives if they represent the views of young people or others who are missing or rare in the executive ranks. EY uses a mix of internal and external advisers, she says, and conducts quarterly "pulse" surveys, asking whether employees feel that they belong at the firm—which last month started splitting its consulting and auditing businesses—and are free to be themselves.
"These feel like softer things, but we know that they're critical because if people don't feel this way, then they could, in theory, quit," she says. "If a consultant can help leaders listen to their employees or decipher the data, that's really important."
Data is a main selling point for Rising Team, the venture-funded startup that Facebook, Google and Yahoo veteran Jennifer Dulski launched in 2020. (She says her business idea predates the pandemic, but "the timing turned out to be perfect.") Her young company starts by polling a client's staff to measure the likelihood they'll stay, and says in a few months it can deliver a meaningful increase in the share who plan to stick around.
Ms. Dulski, who teaches management at Stanford Graduate School of Business, aims to get co-workers to know and like each other—and without resorting to hackneyed exercises like trust falls. Rising Team's "kits," as she calls the software, lead groups of employees through virtual or in-person discussions every six weeks or so. A kit for a 10-person team costs $99 a month, and companies with many teams can get discounts for buying in bulk.
The idea is that workers who are invested in their colleagues are less likely to slack off or leave.
Money helps, too, though raises and bonuses aren't the only ways to promote loyalty and engagement, says Tess Murphy, director of strategic partnerships at Kiva, a microfinance nonprofit. Her pitch to companies is that they can pump up employee enthusiasm by letting every worker direct a small sum—as little as $50—to a favourite cause.
Kiva has managed these corporate programs for eight years, but the tumult of the past two has prompted more workers to consider whether they and their employers are making a difference in the world, Ms. Murphy says. Businesses, in turn, are grasping for initiatives that can give their people a sense of purpose.
Ms. Murphy says companies wonder, " 'How do we get them connected and excited about the work that we're doing?' "
Much of their consternation centres on young workers who fixate on what is, or isn't, in their job descriptions and put in too few hours for some of their older colleagues' tastes, she says.
Appealing to executives who are confounded by their greenest employees, Adam Owens left a steady human-resources job and started his own consulting operation this year. He bills himself as an unconventional alternative to competitors with Ivy League M.B.A.s and decades of experience. If you're a Boomer or Gen Xer trying to figure out Gen Zers, he says, hire someone like him, a former philosophy major who dropped out of college in the aughts and built a career without the typical credentials.
Many young workers aren't unmotivated, he adds, but they don't necessarily measure success like their predecessors or do what they're supposed to do in the eyes of others. He aims to help bosses understand what these employees really care about.
"Millennials are uniquely positioned to deal with this challenge," Mr. Owens says. "We function as a bridge between the other generations."

How many of you have tried this oh-so-easy recipe? Yes, it appears in our third cookbook, The Blue Ribbon Edition: From Our Kitchen to Yours, but it's simply too delicious not to nudge you again. Try it at home! As I said in our 3rd cookbook, chestnut flour is mentioned in print as far back as the 16th century in Italy when the chestnut was often referred to as a "grain that grows on a tree." Chestnuts were survival food. In the mountain regions of Italy, the nuts were used fresh during season, and then dried and ground to make flour so there would be food when it was snowy.
Preheat oven to 175 degrees. Mix flour, salt and water in a small bowl with a Tbsp of EVOO. You'll have a rather thin batter.
Oil a 12-inch pizza pan and pour the batter onto the pan, spreading it out evenly with a spoon. Top with pine nuts and herbs, drizzle with another Tbsp EVOO, and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the bread turns golden brown and the surface is a little crispy.
This is another way to make chestnut flatbread, and it's the way I like best. Heat a large cast iron skillet (12 inch diameter) over medium heat until a drop of water will dance on it. Add 1 Tbsp EVOO and swirl pan to distribute it. Stir the batter and then add to the skillet all at once. Cover pan and cook for 2 minutes. Spread another 2 Tbsp of EVOO on top and cook, covered, 5 minutes more. When the bread appears dry around the edges, loosen with a spatula and then flip it over. Reduce heat to medium low and cook 5 minutes uncovered. Put bread on a plate and allow everyone to tear off pieces.
*You can make this with garbanzo bean flour instead.

An anonymous donor has given McHenry County College $500,000, facilitated by the McHenry County Community Foundation, toward the first phase of an effort designed to promote sustainable urban agriculture education. The project, "Transforming Sustainable Agriculture Enterprises in McHenry County through the Delivery of Innovative Education," will provide experiential learning related to intensive, organic food production, business management, and marketing. During a two-year pilot program, the new funds will be used to research sustainable agricultural trends and practices, develop programming to support the needs of farmers, facilitate partnerships across the agricultural community, and promote the use of sustainable practices and food production in the region. "This generous donation will help us expand our horticulture programming and facilities in the area of urban agriculture and local food crop production," said Bruce Spangenburg, horticulture instructor and department chairman. "We look forward to further developing the educational efforts of MCC related to growing local sustainable food crops to better serve residents throughout the area." According to MCC President Clint Gabbard, the grant allows the college to continue its mission of providing new career opportunities. "Our vision is to assist the region in continuing the transformation from industrialized farming to sustainable, innovative micro-agricultural enterprises that offer both career opportunities for individuals and families, as well as pathways to viable urban and rural food resourcing," Gabbard said. A key component of this initiative is to strengthen educational and career pathways in food systems and sustainable agriculture. The goal is for students to learn small-scale organic food production in a farm setting, yearround; learn how to develop and apply sustainable, profitable models for processing and marketing food with area restaurants, grocers, distributors, and farmers' markets; apply economic, agronomic, environmental and social aspects of farming operations; and learn how to incorporate entrepreneurship principles and practices into sustainable food systems. According to a report published by the Community Food Security Coalition, sustainable and locally-generated food production are becoming increasingly viable alternatives to industrialized agriculture. Local, sustainable food production results in significant societal benefits, including promoting economic and community development, increasing food security, and improving public and environmental health. However, in the Chicago region, few opportunities currently exist for farmers to obtain the agricultural, business management or marketing skills needed to be successful. There are even fewer opportunities to pursue either a two-year or a four-year degree in the field of sustainable agriculture. This initiative will respond to these challenges by promoting greater economic opportunities for current and aspiring farmers, and creating educational pathways for students in the burgeoning sustainable agriculture job market.

Q: Sum if multiple negative criteria I know this sounds lame, but I'm struggling with Microsoft Excel to make this formula work.
I need to sum numbers if matches two criterias, one positive and one negative.
The positive critirea is ok, but the negative one must be "if the cell text is not 'ACTIVE'). How to acomplish this?
This is the formula (with both positive criterias) I have so far:
=SUMIFS($M$8:$M$100819;$C$8:$C$100819;CONCATENATE(TEXT(D$1;"0");"*");$S$8:$S100819;"ACTIVE")

I need to negat that "ACTIVE", and I don't know how and google itself is not helping very much.

A: Another soultion would be to add <> to the criteria, as in:
=SUMIFS($M$8:$M$100819;$C$8:$C$100819;CONCATENATE(TEXT(D$1;"0");"*");$S$8:$S100819;"<>ACTIVE")

A: Just use :
<SUM_OF_ALL_ITEMS_WITH_FIRST_CRITERIA> - SUMIFS($M$8:$M$100819;$C$8:$C$100819;CONCATENATE(TEXT(D$1;"0");"*");$S$8:$S100819;"ACTIVE")
