Canto ostinato
Terry Riley's In C is by far the most well-known and frequently-performed piece of its type. It consists of 53 short musical phrases, which an ensemble of performers (Riley suggested 35, but much larger and much smaller groups have played it) play, in order, repeating them any number of times, and moving from one phrase to the next when the performers feel that it's time to. The piece is over when the last performer plays the last repetition of the 53rd phrase and stops.
This turns out, as the composer David Bruce observed in a recent video on the subject, to be a really difficult kind of piece of music to write. Like all of Bruce's videos, this is informative, thoughtful, and opinionated (in a good way):
But I think he makes a little too much of the uniqueness of the piece. I think David Bruce may not know about Simeon ten Holt.
ten Holt's pretty well-known in the Netherlands, though seemingly not so much elsewhere. (All of the recordings I've been able to find of his work seem to feature guys named Kees, Ivo, and Jeroen.) His 1976 Canto Ostinato is similar in structure to In C, in that it's made up of small fragments that the players are to perform in order, and repeat to their taste.
(A gripe. Wikipedia translates "Canto Ostinato" as "obstinate song," which is not right. An ostinato is any continually-repeating musical figure. It's also the Italian word for "obstinate," but that's not what it means in a musical context.)
Unlike Riley, ten Holt also gave players the freedom to straight up skip sections if they weren't feeling it. He wrote bridges between some pairs of sections. You can play section 13 as many times as you want, and you can play 14 afterwards or not, but you should only play 13A, once, if you play both 13 and 14. There's one group of sections that, if you play it, you play in unbroken order, repeating each section twice, and the whole group four times. Or you can leave it out. Some of the sections are multiple-choice; you choose whether you're going to play 88A, 88B, or 88C before moving on to 89. (Or 91, if you feel like skipping 89 and 90.)
When I talk about the freedom to leave things out, ten Holt meant it, and his performers take it to heart. The performance in this recording is of sections 1, 5, 10, 14, 20, 25, 35, 41, 56, 60, and 69 - maybe a tenth of all of the sections in the score. It's possible for a performance to be three times as long as this one and contain nothing that these performers played.
It isn't what you think it's going to be. Everything I've told you about this piece has made it sound like a work of minimalism. It absolutely doesn't sound like one.
It's certainly got a lot of repetition, but that thing that minimalism depends on, the deepening of the listener's apprehension of a phrase by hearing it over and over again, that's not what's at the front and center of this piece. Something different is happening here.
In a piece by Philip Glass, you hear one phrase repeated, and it shifts into another and back again, and the whole thing works out to be all a single shimmering pattern. This feels more like the repetition is just building a sturdy platform under you that you then jump from to get to the next. There's much more of a sense of progression and development. There's a lot more drama, a lot more tension and release, than you expect from minimalism. This music is going somewhere.
Also, it swings. It's not driven by a pulse, it's driven by syncopation. Hearing it makes me realize how much of the vocabulary of music the great minimalist composers decided to leave on the floor. Steve Reich probably knows more about rhythm than anyone alive, and he doesn't use this one. You want to rock from side to side while listening to this. It's hard not to.
This performance is really lovely, and it's one of the better-known recordings, performed before a live (which is to say, occasionally coughing) audience by Jeroen van Veen, Sandra van Veen, Esther Doornink, and Peter Elbertse. I don't want to judge before all the results are in, but I think these musicians may be Dutch.
Also, the visuals that the person who assembled this video found are just wonderful. They're completely unrelated to the music and somehow fit it perfectly.

I changed all your words but my poltergeist concur...
One ordinary life, with music
You and me and the war at the end times
Onde os escravos eram castigados
Up in the rafters, a rope is dangling, spots befor...

Jeremiah Heaton travelled to an 'unclaimed' piece of land between Egypt and Sudan and planted a flag in it, calling it The Kingdom of North Sudan. He insists his daughter is now legally a princess.
Jeremiah Heaton travelled from his home in Virginia to an 'unclaimed' piece of land between Egypt and Sudan and planted a flag in it, calling it The Kingdom of North Sudan. He says he won't mind if you don't address him as 'Your Majesty', but he insists his daughter is now legally a princess.
It's not much of a castle… but for now, the local town playground will have to do for Princess Emily and her brother Prince Caleb. Emily's dad, now technically King Jeremiah, recently claimed one of the few unassigned pieces of land in the world on behalf of his daughter.
"With a child you don't want to ever tell them they can't be something they desire to be, and at age six, her frame of reference for the world was to be a princess, so I told her that she could be", said Heaton.
Most dads would have left it at that. But Jeremiah did some research, and found that territory known as Bir Tawil, between Egypt and Sudan, was unclaimed by either country. He decided to go there, and earlier this year he planted a flag designed by him and his children. He reckons this gives him a better claim than anyone else.
Jeremiah seems deadly serious about his plans for the territory - he's hired an office cubicle in Washington D.C. to act as an embassy, and says he fully expects Egypt and Sudan to be in touch to discuss official recognition just as soon as Ramadan's over!


Located on a 60-acre site in South Boston's historic waterfront district, the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center (BCEC) is the largest exhibition center in the Northeast United States and one of the most technologically-advanced facility in the world. The BCEC offers over 516,000 square feet of contiguous exhibition space on one level that can be sectioned off for separate shows or linked into one large space. A 60,000 square foot, column free, ballroom at the end of the building provides breathtaking views of the Boston waterfront and skyline.
Walter P Moore collaborated with LeMessurier Associates of Boston on the structural design of the facility. Our role was to design an efficient and beautiful long-span roof over the main exhibition hall. This roof structure, which spans 180 ft. and cantilevers 65 ft. at each end gives the venue an elegant and virtually column free exhibition space, which is a true marketing advantage in the competitive business of attracting large conventions. Not surprisingly, the BCEC has been one of the most successful convention centers since its opening in 2005.


In the January 8th edition of Law360, Bruce Bronster (Partner, New York) responded to a recent survey by the Association of Foreign Investors in Real Estate in which respondents chose London over New York as the top location for foreign real estate investments.
"I think [the shift toward London] may be true for a certain type of non-U.S. institutional investor, but ... the interest in New York is as great as I have seen it in the 30 years that I've been working in the New York market."
"Ultrahigh net worth individuals and family offices appear to still favor New York over other cities as the safest and most lucrative for real estate investment."

Q: Changed sort_index behaviour in pandas 0.20 The behaviour of sort_index seems to have changed. I want to sort by date for periods but it since I updated to 0.20 it is sorting by day of month. I've seen the list of changes but haven't managed to recover the same results. Any tips?
Thanks
Gist - Pandas 0.19.2
Gist - Pandas 0.20.2

A: The comment from @Brad Solomon made me realize I could convert to the string format I wanted after sorting. Although the string sorting behaviour remains, I now obtain the same behaviour.
Instead of
colnames = ['Date', 'Client', 'Value', 'OtherValue']
df = pd.DataFrame(data={c:v for c,v in zip(colnames, [col1,col2,col3,col4])})
df2 = df.groupby(['Client',pd.to_datetime(df['Date']).dt.to_period('W-THU')]).sum().unstack(level=1).fillna(0)
new_cols = [i.start_time.strftime('%d/%m')+
            '-'+i.end_time.strftime('%d/%m')
           for i in df2.columns.levels[1]]
df2.columns.set_levels(new_cols,level=1,inplace=True)
df2.columns = df2.columns.swaplevel(0,1)
df2.sort_index(level=0, axis=1, inplace=True)

writing
colnames = ['Date', 'Client', 'Value', 'OtherValue']
df = pd.DataFrame(data={c:v for c,v in zip(colnames, [col1,col2,col3,col4])})
df2 = df.groupby(['Client',pd.to_datetime(df['Date']).dt.to_period('W-THU')]).sum().unstack(level=1).fillna(0)
df2.columns = df2.columns.swaplevel(0,1)
df2.sort_index(level=0, axis=1, inplace=True)
new_cols = [i.start_time.strftime('%d/%m')+
            '-'+i.end_time.strftime('%d/%m')
           for i in df2.columns.levels[0]]
df2.columns.set_levels(new_cols,level=0,inplace=True)

solves it.

Watching 1939: Drums Along the Mohawk (1939)
In 2011, I announced I was trying to see every film released in 1939. This new series chronicles films released in 1939 as I watch them. As we start out this blog feature, this section may become more concrete as I search for a common thread that runs throughout each film of the year. Right now, that's difficult.
1939 film:
Drums Along the Mohawk (1939)
Claudette Colbert, Henry Fonda, Edna May Oliver, Eddie Collins, John Carradine, Jessie Ralph, Arthur Shields, Ward Bond, Russell Simpson, Francis Ford, Kay Linaker, Chief John Big Tree, Eddie Collins, Dorris Bowdon, Beulah Hall Jones, Charles Tannen
Set in 1776, wealthy, Albany, NY, woman Lana (Colbert) marries frontiersman Gilbert Martin (Fonda). The two set out to Gil's farm in Deerfield in the Mohawk Valley of central New York. Lana has a difficult time adjusting to frontier life, but soon the settle into farm life. However, the American Revolution disrupts their lives.
1939 Notes:
• Producer Darryl F. Zanuck, director John Ford, screenwriter Lamar Trotti, and actor Henry Fonda, worked together on two films in 1939: Young Mr. Lincoln and Drums Along the Mohawk.
• Last film of actress Beulah Hall Jones.
– Henry Fonda was in five films released in 1939.
– Claudette Colbert was in three films released in 1939.
– John Ford directed three films released in 1939. Henry Fonda starred in two of them.
– Edna May Oliver was in four films released in 1939. After this film, she only starred in two other movies. Oliver died in 1942.
– John Carradine was in nine films released in 1939.
– Ward Bond was in 20 films released in 1939.
– Chief John Big Tree was in five films released in 1939.
– Russell Simpson was in eight films released in 1939.
– Eddie Collins was in eight films released in 1939. Collins died the following year in 1940.
– Dorris Bowdon was in two films released in 1939.
– Jessie Ralph was in six films released in 1939.
– Kay Linaker was in eight films released in 1939.
– Arthur Shields was only in one film released in 1939.
Henry Fonda and Claudette Colbert in Drums Along the Mohawk
Other trivia:
• Premiered in Albany, New York, where the film began.
• The film is based on the 1936 book "Drums Along the Mohawk" by Walter D. Edmonds.
• Filmed in Cedar Breaks, Utah.
• The actors worked without amenities as they shot on location, and Colbert requested a bathtub, according to her biographer Bernard F. Dick.
• Nancy Kelly was originally cast to play the role of Lana, according to Dick's book.
• John Ford's first Technicolor feature film.
• John Ford's only film focusing on the Revolutionary War.
My review: Searching for the "1939 feature":
Before I get too started – let me stop and share before you call this film a "western," don't. Though John Ford's moniker is in the credits, this film is a Revolutionary War film set in rural New York (not to mention that Ford made more than just westerns).
Not many films look at the Revolutionary War, and "Drums Along the Mowhawk" (1939) gives that rare look at it and Ford's only film that features this period in history. It's an engaging film. One minute it's deathly serious, and the next you are laughing.
Ford wrote to Darryl F. Zanuck that the story "calls for a placid, pastoral simple movement which suddenly breaks into quick, heavy, dramatic overtones," according to Ford biographer Scott Eyman.
The film follows a newlywed couple, played by Claudette Colbert and Henry Fonda, as they settle into the frontier. Colbert's character Lana is used to city life and while Fonda's Gil was already living in the frontier of New York
The whole time you are marveling at the gorgeous Technicolor cinematography. "Drums Along the Mohawk" was John Ford's first Technicolor film. Though he later said he preferred black-and-white and felt that was "real photography," Ford and cinematographers Bert Glennon and
Ray Rennahan did fantastic work here. It's visually stunning. One of my favorite scenes where I almost gasped at its beauty, is when Henry Fonda runs over the horizon with the sunset behind him.
What I think is interesting is that not only in the film are they on the frontier, away from civilization, it seems that it was that way during filming too. John Ford selected a remote area in Utah, and it lacked amenities so much that Colbert requested a bathtub for the cabin she was using.
According to biographer Scott Eyman, Henry Fonda said each night was like summer camp. They would sit on big logs around a fire and take turns doing entertainment. Fonda said that the atmosphere became family-like and he almost cried when it was all over.
In Walter D. Edmonds's best selling book that the film is based on, Native Americans were not the main antagonist as they are in the film. The movie does reinforce stereotypes of both the friendly/naive Native American and the terrorizing Native Americans, according to the book "Race in American Film: Voices and Visions that Shaped a Nation."
The character of Blue Back, Chief John Big Tree, is a friendly and naive and helps Henry Fonda in the film. The terrorizing Indians are all taking orders from John Carradine's character (the picturesque villain complete with cape and eye patch). Carradine is a Tory (an American colonist who sided with Great Britain) and uses the Native Americans to work against the revolutionaries, such as burning down their farms and crops.
"They have no life of their own. They appear only as a threat or a help to white men," according to "Race in American Film…"
Colbert later said that she didn't feel comfortable in costume dramas like "Drums Along the Mohawk," but I think she's wonderful as always. Henry Fonda is great as well – but that's nothing new.
Edna May Oliver
But the real scene-stealer here is Edna Mae Oliver. If you aren't interested in watching this film, watch it solely for her. She has the best lines and brings humor to the film. And at the same time, she is in some of the most heartwrenching and dramatic scenes. She is just fabulous. "Drums Along the Mohawk" is one of Oliver's last films. She died in 1942.
In the grand scheme of 1939, I do think "Drums Along the Mohawk" is often overlooked. Though this film was more successful than "Young Mr. Lincoln" (which starred Fonda and was directed by Ford), I feel that film gets more attention. And for Colbert that year, it was "Midnight" that is now better remembered – because we all also want to forget "It's a Wonderful World."
With its bouts of humor and also stunning beauty, I find "Drums Along the Mohawk" visually gorgeous, exciting and also emotional film.

Meet the woman climbing the highest mountain in every European country in under a year
Emma Svensson is on the way to scaling 49 European summits – all inside a year Credit: EMMA SVENSSON
Oliver Smith, Digital Travel Editor

Oliver Smith
Fancy conquering the highest mountain in every European country? If that sounds like a ridiculous proposition, consider this. Until a year ago, Emma Svensson was a complete climbing novice. Yet now she is on the way to scaling 49 European summits – all inside a year.
"In August I climbed Elbrus, the highest mountain in Europe, but I quickly became restless," she said. "So, spontaneously, I decided this would be a great target, and started straight away. That might seem crazy but for me it's never far from idea to action. I was on the top of Elbrus on August 1, 2017 so I have until August 1, 2018 to climb all 49 peaks."
Emma Svensson began her mission in August Credit: EMMA SVENSSON
That's all the highest points in 51 European countries – Italy and France share Mont Blanc/Monte Bianco, while Mount Korab straddles the border between Albania and Macedonia. However, she'll actually be tackling more mountains than that.
"When I did the research I found that there are some grey areas," she explains. "For example, the highest mountain in Spain is Teide, on the island of Tenerife. But that's not geographically considered to be part of Europe – the highest mountain on the mainland is Mulhacen. So I'll do both, just in case."
She'll also be going to the Faroe Islands (highest point: Slættaratindur, at 882 metres) and Greenland (highest point: Gunnbjørn Fjeld, at 3,694m) as well as Denmark, and to Mount Pico on the Azores (2,351 metres) as well as mainland Portugal.
Some will be easier than others. The highest point in Lithuania, for example, Aukštojas Hill, stands at just 294 metres above sea level. But others present a serious challenge. Around 100 people die each year on Mont Blanc, for example. Is this really a challenge for a novice?

"Most people think I'm a little bit mad but I have some experience," says Emma. "I did my first expedition - Mount Whitney in California - a year ago and spent a week on Franz Josef Glacier in New Zealand with a guide in the spring, learning all the basic skills and camping in winter conditions. And since I'm from Sweden I have a lot of experience with snow and winter weather."
A year ago, Emma had no climbing experience Credit: Emma Svensson
She's already ticked Mont Blanc anyhow, along with 20 other peaks.
"The most enjoyable so far was Mont Blanc," she says. "Many mountains on my list only require hiking, and I like it more when it becomes a bit more technical. You need to do some acclimatisation, and then hike up to a hut where you spend the night before the summit attempt. It has dangerous sections, scrambling, exposure, glaciers, narrow ridges you have to traverse. The Alps have everything. High mountains, snow, lots of lifts and mountains huts to stay and so many routes to explore."
The toughest climbs so far, says Emma, have been Elbrus, Russia's highest mountain, and Grauspitz, the highest peak in Liechtenstein. The former involved a climbing from 3,800m to the summit, at 5,642m, and back down, in a single day. "That's a lot of up and down all at once – I should have worked out more," she jokes. The latter was tackled after heavy snowfall. "I didn't take crampons or an ice axe and it was really slippery and steep – almost impossible to walk on," she says.

For solitude, however, Grauspitz was hard to beat. "I didn't see a single person throughout the whole climb," she explains. "Likewise for Moldovaenu Peak in Romania and Maglic in Bosnia. I was not expecting these two climbs to be so beautiful and since I was all alone it was a special experience. I would never have seen these places if it wasn't for the project and I was blown away. I'm going back to Balkans soon and I expect it will be pretty deserted in the mountains of Kosovo, Macedonia and Albania too."
Emma had to sell her apartment to fund the project Credit: Emma Svensson
Conversely, Mount Olympus in Greece and Elbrus were quite busy, she says. So too was Mulhacen in Spain. "Mulhacen was quite a boring mountain," she adds. "Just a really long walk on dry rocks that seemed to take forever."
Mountain high | The 49 peaks
The best single view so far was the from the top of Triglav, Slovenia's highest peak. "You could see four countries on a clear day," she says. "From The Dolomites in Italy and the Alps in Austria to the coastline of Croatia."

Andorra was another highlight. "The whole country is pretty much a ski resort," explains Emma. "Very modern and cosy at the same time. And the hike to the top of Coma Pedrosa was one of my favourites so far." This was despite coming face to face with a couple of bears ("I just scared them away," she says).
Bulgaria was notable for the quirky hotel she found herself holed up in. "The Festa Winter Palace in Borovets is like something from a Wes Anderson movie, and I was pretty much the only one there," she explains.
Have there been any worrying moments?
"A lot of people have told me they would never travel alone and climb mountains as a woman and that I'm brave for doing that," she says. "But I have always felt safe so far. In my experience everyone you meet in the mountains is so nice."

Next up for Emma is another trip to the Balkans, while she is looking forward to returning to the Alps (Austria and Switzerland still need to be crossed off her list), as well as Iceland and Norway, next year. "My favourite country of all is Iceland," she says. "I have been 15 times but am still waiting to climb the highest mountain this spring. If you have never been to Iceland you should put that on top of your list – it's just the most beautiful place in the world."
Her winter "break" will involve at trip to South America to tackle Aconcagua, the continent's highest mountain.
She wants to challenge herself and inspire others to do likewise Credit: EMMA SVENSSON
And once it's all over? "It would be cool to climb Everest one day but I have much to learn before then. And it's also very expensive to climb mountains! I had to sell my apartment to cover the costs of this project," she says.
"An adventure like this can be done by a regular woman," she says. "You don't have to be a professional." Credit: EMMA SVENSSON
But despite the financial expense, she says it's worth it. "First it was more about me doing something new in my life," Emma explains. "But I've come to realise it's also because I want to inspire others and show them that an adventure like this can be done by a regular woman. You don't have to be a professional."

I love to read books and among them books about kids and kids psychology and I'm reading one now. It's pretty strange book as for me, author uses too modern language (in Russian - Людмила Петрановская. Тайная опора. Привязанность в жизни ребенка) which doesn't even exist now but still it has some very good thoughts in it and I'll put here 2 things that really helped me to understand my child better!
Before age of 2.5- 3 baby thinks that mom is just his part and thinks completely same as baby does! And look what happen at the age of 3? I want this candy/cartoon/name it - and mom just doesn't want to give it to me! But she gave me everything (more or less) ALL MY LIFE!!! So what's wrong with my mom, why's she get broken??
And so they become upset.
Now I look at my child and it really seems the way he often thinks about me!!!
Ok, as always, first thing to do - hug!
HE/SHE IS SMALL. But HOW OLD AM I NOW?
Just think it truly, look inside of you and your mood and heart and ask yourself - how old am I now?
And you will be calm, I promise!
Use this magic and stay tuned for more!

Born Andrew Drew Okun on June 25, 1952, Al Parker lived https://www.coupang.com/vp/products/318380024?itemId=1016457779&vendorItemId=5452986759&q=%EC%8A%A4%EB%85%B8%EC%9A%B0%EB%B3%B4%EB%93%9C&itemsCount=36&searchId=0fdf9669e68c488ca69ac5562c2049da&rank=154&isAddedCart= a full existence before last but not least succumbing to AIDS in August of 1992. As a teen living in Natick, Massachusetts, pre-Al Parker Okun was able to influence his moms and dads to lend him their brand new Mustang and push to Woodstock, which he told them was a classical new music Pageant. Later, every time a documentary was built about the event, Okun was seen in the gang featured to the Motion picture poster.
At Woodstock, Okun had numerous homosexual encounters, many of which have been behind a van. These were not his first sexual encounters with men, as Okun was raped at knife stage when he was only fifteen a long time outdated. This was the type of scene that would be replayed and filmed several moments during his job as an Grownup film star.
Upon graduating high school, Okun moved to La and scored a task for a butler at Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion. When there, adult movie producer Rip Colt found out the butler and changed his name to Al Parker, a manlier title that compensated tribute to the well known artist. Before long, The brand new Al Parker was starring in a number of of Colt's 8mm small films.
Soon just after being found, Parker satisfied Richard Cole, a man a few years his senior. It had been Cole who launched Parker to sexual hedonism and The 2 began a lengthy and open up connection. In actual fact, they even put a bed at the back of their van so they may pick up and also have intercourse with Males for the duration of their cross country road excursions.
In 1980, Cole and Parker started Surge Studios and began manufacturing their own individual films. Parker's position during the small business expanded past just acting, and soon integrated creating and directing. The duo commenced building http://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=스노우보드 larger sized spending budget themed films, numerous shot out in their residence in Hermosa Beach, California.
In 1986 Cole died of AIDS. Due to how really hard HIV and AIDS ended up hitting the adult film market, as well as the Local community at massive, Surge Studios commenced mandating Secure sexual intercourse tactics in the course of filming (and was on the list of to start with studios to start doing so). Just after Cole's Demise, Parker commenced seeing Justin Cade, a Canadian porn star. Parker also remained during the small business, even immediately after he examined beneficial to the virus. At last, in August of 1992, Parker died of AIDS in San Francisco.

Leaders today are under a magnifying glass. Their decisions are scrutinized, criticized and rebuked. In the era of social and sharing media, leaders in the public eye face criticisms that are communicated to hundreds, thousands, even millions of people, without the leaders having time to respond. Social media has dramatically reduced reaction time. And this has a major impact on leaders. Their leadership can be called into question in just a few clicks. Today's leaders therefore need to manage their impact and act judiciously. If things go off track, the consequences can be significant and even irreversible for the leader's ‒ and even the company's ‒ credibility. This means that today's leaders need the qualities and skills to wield positive, unifying leadership. If they don't, the fallout can seriously undermine their credibility and impact.
Each leader should take one of these two psychometric tests, such as the "Senior Management In Development" or the "Team Leader In Development" assessment that will allow you to discover the action priorities and development tips helping to implement and help establish conditions for a successful leader development process.
Here are six consequences of poor leadership.
Never before has the integrity of leaders been such a source of concern. Because of scandals that have tarnished leaders around the world in recent years, leaders worthy of trust are more in demand than ever. The ability to inspire confidence is associated with the values of courage, respect for others and commitment, which means taking responsibility for the consequences of decisions, creating a pleasant working environment, fulfilling professional obligations, behaving in a way that is beyond reproach and more. The more people perceive these qualities among leaders, the more they grant them credibility and legitimacy. And the more leader knows how to inspire confidence, the more the organization's reputation benefits. Leaders who exercise poor leadership have much more difficulty inspiring not only employees, but also business partners, colleagues and other stakeholders.
Whether formal or informal, influence is the cornerstone of leadership. It takes others to recognize leaders and confer that status upon them. Influential people use strategies to promote their ideas, get the merit of their positions across, convince others to buy in and put effort into their projects and encourage them to achieve results that allow them to have an impact on others and make a difference. Today, with matrix and horizontal organizations and geographically dispersed teams, to get people to buy in to their ideas and effectively manage reactions and reticence to change, leaders have to be able to convince others through the quality of their arguments and by adopting new strategies. Poor leadership systematically leads to the rejection of ideas.
A flawlessly executed plan, tied to strategy, allows the organization to move in the right direction. Leaders have to be able to transform vision into concrete actions and ensure that the actions taken and objectives set are consistent with this vision and with the organization's mission and values. To ensure the vision is adopted and efforts aligned, the organization needs to have leaders who can convince people to act in step with organizational strategies. Leaders who adopt a poor approach may be perceived as inconsistent.
Leaders can't get very far on their own. They need to adopt management practices that allow team members to put their talents to use, feel like their efforts are important, make a positive contribution to achieving organizational goals and achieve success. Leaders have to provide team members support and opportunities for professional development and give them responsibilities suited to their talents. This is how they can generate commitment and motivate them to take responsibility for and put effort into their job, while allowing them to develop professionally. People who exercise poor leadership often have a hard time rallying the right people around them and helping colleagues and employees advance.
Everyone agrees that organizations that survive will be those that adopt collaborative work strategies that are effective, both within and outside the organization. To create a cooperative work environment, leaders need strong interpersonal skills that allow them to build bridges, maintain useful connections within their network, share information and resolve disputes. To achieve the results they want while working with others, they need to have collaborative reflexes and have the right people around them. Negative vibes associated with poor leadership often reach beyond the immediate team. A poor leader's behaviour will be expressed with a range of business partners.
More than ever, people are looking for meaning in their jobs and need to know that their ideas and points of view are taken into account. Leaders who can get those around them to buy into their vision of things are those who provide inspiration and enlightenment, and who understand and take into account what is important for people. By creating a connection with others, they generate beneficial change for the organization. Poor leaders have difficulty explaining their vision and getting people to buy into it. Poor leaders have greater difficulty establishing sincere relationships and emotional connections with their resources.
Who wants to put confidence in a poor leader? Follow the path forged by a poor leader? Or put their career in the hands of a poor leader? And, even more to the point, who wants to believe a poor leader?
Poor leadership has major consequences, but is too often tolerated by employees and organizations. Mastering technical skills can take priority over leadership, as can shortages of labour and good leaders. Fortunately, behaviours can be learned and skills developed. Making poor leaders aware of their impact and ensuring they recognize the effect of their leadership style is the foundation for change in the right direction. Making the shift from a poor leader to a good leader is possible... it just takes effort!

Collecting celebrity autographs is a great hobby, it can be reasonably inexpensive and a nice way to spend some extra time. There are a couple different ways to collect—in person and through the mail. Each way will have their pluses and minuses, but we'll focus on collecting through the mail for this essay.
Through-the-mail autograph collecting becomes more popular every day, but has been around even before the early days of film. It just seems that having a signature on an item is a great way to keep a memento of one's favorite celebrity.
The Star Wars autograph realm has a very devoted following of collectors that has grown immensely since the late 90's. There are numerous devoted individuals who are after every single person who are connected to the words "Star Wars," and there are casual collectors who enjoy getting a couple of signatures from their favorite character.
Envelopes—and plenty of them: 9-inch x 12-inch (23 cm x 30.5 cm)—and #10 business size (10.5 cm x 24 cm).
Let's start with a contact address of the celebrity. There are numerous sources you can use to obtain an address of a particular celebrity, including the dedicated Star Wars celebrity address database here at Wattographs.
Some collectors also purchase printed lists of addresses, which they use to refer to for a particular celebrity, but we recommend Wattographs—not because we run it, but because it is a great resource to which people can report their successes and failures, so that other collectors have a better idea of who's signing and who's not. It is also more difficult to find these printed lists, as everything seems to have migrated to the Internet.
For the casual collector who only collects sporadically, printed celebrity address list or a pay-for-all-celebrity-addresses website can be an expensive way to obtain a couple of addresses. However, the advantage of a online database like Wattographs is that someone else has done the leg work for you! All you have to do is refer to the appropriate name, and "Ta-Dah!", you're off and running.
Okay, you've got your address and your supplies. It's time to put together a request letter.
What do you say? That's entirely up to you. However, keep it short and sweet, since many celebrities get hundreds—if not thousands—of letters each month. If they spent all their time reading and writing, they'd never have time for the work which makes them celebrities in the first place! Typically, the "lesser" characters are more accessible, since they aren't subject to the demands of an A-Lister, but they will be busy with their own work and projects just the same.
Always try and mention something specific and personal to the celebrity—like your favorite performance or work of theirs. Remember to be sincere, since we're sure the celebrity (or, in many cases, the celebrity's secretary/assistant/agent) can tell who's familiar with their work and who's not. Wattographs has handled celebrity fan mail at some actors' request and it's somewhat interesting to see the shallow requests that accompany a stack of unsigned index cards that are "Christmas presents for my family."
Most collectors will request a signed photo from the celebrity, and—as is very typical today—will send a photo themselves. It's suggested that you put a 3x5 card in with your letter, and say something in the letter to the effect of "I know you are busy with projects, so, if you cannot provide a signed photo, would you please take just a moment to sign the enclosed 3x5 card?"
More often than not, you not only get a photo back, but you get a signed 3x5 card as well! For those who don't sign photos through the mail, they often sign the 3x5 card instead, so in that instance, you do get a signature sent back to you. Some celebrities won't sign the 3x5 cards, however, as it's been used as a tool by forgers in the past.
Be advised, however, that most Star Wars actors will not send a signed Star Wars photo back. More often than not, what you'll receive will be what called called a "head shot," that is, a picture of just the actor themselves. 8x10 photos are expensive to print and while a good number of the Star Wars films' cast are all still working actors, they don't receive any stipends from the studio or Lucasfilm to pay for photos. That's an expense that comes out of their own pocket. Today's conventional wisdom always suggests that you send your own photograph or item to be autographed.
This is the big "secret" of all by-mail collectors. A simple one, but the most important.
Remember, the celebrity may generally foot the cost of sending you a photo. Now, imagine if the celebrity had to pay the cost of postage, too! Multiply hundreds and thousands of requests by $0.90 - $1.35 (the cost of the return envelope's postage just within the United States) and you'll see why those who enclose an SASE generally get better responses.
When writing and requesting that the celebrity send you a photo, put a 9-inch x12-inch envelope (folded into thirds) with $0.90 postage into a #10 business envelope with $0.45 postage on it; Three stamps, total. This method has been tested extensively and continues to work for many. That's a cheap price to pay for an autograph! In case the return postage isn't enough, you can put your return address in both spots on the 9x12 envelope (sender and receiver)...this way, if there is postage due, it will still come back you so that you can pay it!
Put the letter in the envelope, along with the SASE and a 3x5 card, give the letter to your mail carrier, sit back and wait for your response. Some celebrities are great about autograph requests and you'll get something in a couple of weeks. Some celebrities take longer -- we've heard tales of collectors waiting for SIX YEARS to get a response, but that seems to be an exception, not a rule.
Most will tell you that it generally takes anywhere from three or more months for a reply. BE PATIENT. Hey, in the meantime, write some more letters! There's nothing that beats the feeling of going to your mailbox and finding SEVERAL 9x12 envelopes with your name on it.
CAN I SEND SOMETHING OF MY OWN TO SIGN?
Absolutely! When this essay was originally written, the author merely sent requests with self-addressed, stamped envelopes. As the collecting has become more focused and the hobby is maturing, it's now considered better etiquette to send photos or trading cards of the celebs whom you write to. We have found that by sending something to sign, the percentage of authentic signers and successful returns has risen dramatically. A few years ago, it was difficult to find "clean" Star Wars photos that weren't copies of copies, blurred and with bad color. With the advent of companies like Official Pix having the license to produce Star Wars photos, fans have more choices than ever to send. So, not sending something for the celebrity to sign is becoming bad form.
By all means, if you would like to have your item made out to you, or another person, ask! Some actors will even write their "quotes" that they spoke in their scenes if you ask politely. You can make it even easier if you take that route by writing out the actual personalization or quote on a sticky note and placing it on the item. Adding a sticky note where you'd like them to sign is helpful, too—however, some Star Wars actors have been put off or offended by this.
However, most celebs are happy to inscribe a photograph to you. Be aware, that like everything else, it's up to them to make the choice.
If you're sending to a celebrity overseas (and this also applies to readers of this document who don't live in the United States), you'll need to go to your local post office and get International Reply Coupons (IRCs). An IRC is used to purchase stamps for overseas sending. U.S. senders to overseas addresses should generally send TWO IRCs with their requests, instead of putting U.S. stamps on the return envelope. Typically, you usually send 3-5 IRCs if you are sending a photograph to be signed. Current price for IRCs in the U.S. is $1.75 each. Read more about IRC's here.
If you live overseas and are sending your letter to the United States, we can't tell you how many IRCs you'll need, although the rule of thumb is probably two-to-five as well. Please see your local post office and they can get you pointed in the right direction.
It has been de rigeur in recent years to send approximately the equivalent of US$5.00-$10.00 in the celeb's local currency to cover postage instead. This does make things more difficult, but the U.S. dollar tends to be more "exchangeable" worldwide than other currencies. The best thing you can do for your celebrity is to send the equivalent currency in their country. This means American Dollars in the United States, Pounds Sterling in the United Kingdom and Australian Dollars in the Land Down Under. Having their own currency when they go to the post office for stamps is much easier than having to exchange currency, then go to the post office. A good rule of thumb is the easier you make it for the celebrity to respond, they will.
An even better suggestion: native postage stamps!
This will be the easiest route for the celebrity. If you live in the U.S and you send a request to the United Kingdom, having British stamps on your return envelope (in the correct amount to send back to the U.S.!) makes things SO MUCH MORE simpler to return your items, and you'll have the appreciation of the celebrity for thinking of their time and effort to help you get an autograph.
Currently, a 100gram envelope will run you £1.73 (approximately $2.72 at the time of this writing—you can use a currency converter for current conversion rates). 100grams is approximately the weight of a letter and an 8x10 photograph. If you're sending more than one item and/or a cardboard protector in your envelope, you're looking at 150grams or £2.58.And, finally 200grams is about £3.11. You can check out current currency values at xe.com.
We've also put a section in our forums where you can trade stamps with other collectors from their native countries.
Many of us who write keep some sort of log of what we've sent out. This helps track responses, which we usually share with each other here in the online world. (if you don't already, you should read the Wattographs forums—there's lots of information to be gleaned from them,so feel free to ask questions), so let us know what you've received by posting your successes and failures at the Wattographs database when it comes back online. When the author was an active by-mail collector, it was not uncommon to have out over 50 requests at any given time, so having some sort of record helped me to keep track very easily of date sent, date returned, item returned, etc. Wattographs is planning to add an online tracking feature to its database by the end of 2012, so collectors can keep track of their requests in one central place.
AM I GUARANTEED A REAL AUTOGRAPH?
Alas, no. There is no guarantee that your favorite celebrity will even respond at all! Expect that anyone who's an A-List celebrity just won't have the time available to handle the thousands of requests they get in the mail each week.
Try not to be too terribly disappointed if you receive a "pre-print" (that is, a signature already printed as part of the photo). Many celebrities are just too busy to individually sign each photo, but they want their fans to have something, so you'll get a pre-print.
Sometimes a celebrity's secretary/assistant/agent will sign the photo on behalf of the celebrity. This is called a "secretarial" signature. It's pretty hit-and-miss this way, which is why we suggested you subscribe to the Wattographs forums, because many of us have collected for years and we know the difference between some signatures and signers—differences we can report to the forum members.
There are also times when you get...well...nothing. Celebrities change addresses and agents constantly, and you may get a RETURN TO SENDER response on your envelope. Celebrities can also be a fickle lot, signing one week, not signing the next.
Some celebrities also just refuse to sign. Natalie Portman is NOTORIOUS for not signing Star Wars autographs—in person or through the mail. Unfortunately, that is happening with all genres of autographs, not just non-signers in Star Wars.
Again, don't be disappointed—at least you gave it a shot (another reason to take part in our forums and database, since members often post bad addresses, or will list "no-signers" so you don't have to take the chance).
Loved by people the world over, autograph collecting is a fun hobby. The excitement of going out to the mailbox and seeing an envelope which contains a photo and signature from your favorite celebrity is second-to-none! And, an autographed photo (or two, or three, or ten...) hanging on your living room wall is a great conversation piece when friends and relatives come to visit. Join or visit as many resources on the Internet as you can, since the more you know, the better informed you'll be when it comes to deciding whom to write.
So, there you have it. A quick primer on how to get started in autograph collecting by mail. Follow those simple suggestions mentioned and you, too, will start having a mailbox filled with autographs!

25 statistics every social media marketer needs to know in 2020
Social media is a fast-paced, ever-evolving world, which makes it hard for marketers to stay up to date. Here are 25 key statistics social media marketers need to know in 2020.
You are reading: 25 statistics every social media marketer needs to know in 2020
23rd January 2020 26th May 2022
Facebook, Instagram, Social Media, Twitter, YouTube
Will Greenwood
Social media is an ever-evolving world with new features, trends, and updates constantly being released seemingly every day – it's nearly impossible to keep up with and predict what's going to be the next big thing. Who knew when Instagram Stories were released in 2016 that they would be the success they are today? This displays the need for social media marketers to ensure they are up to date with the latest trends and statistics.
With that in mind, we've picked out 25 key statistics (five from each of the five biggest social networks according to Statista) that every social media marketer needs to be aware of in 2020.
Facebook Statistics
1. As of quarter 3 of 2019, Facebook has 2.44 billion monthly active users according to Statista. When compared to quarter 3 of 2018, when the platform had 2.27 billion monthly active users, it's easy to see that Facebook continues to dominate the social media world.
2. Based on worldwide Google searches during Q3 of 2019, Facebook is the top Google search query, showing that if people are online, it's likely they're on Facebook. This further cements the fact that Facebook should be part of your social strategy;it's likely to be where your customers are.
3. Following from the previous statistic, Facebook is the third most visited site in the world, only being topped by Google and YouTube.
4. When taking a look at the usage stats, it further reinforces the popularity of the social network. 74% (just under three quarters!) of users log into Facebook at least once a day, with over half (51%) logging in more than once a day.
Via pewresearch.org
5. One statistic that did surprise me is the fact that 65% of Facebook users are under the age of 35. Despite the rise of platforms such as Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok, Facebook still draws the attention of a large group of young adults.
YouTube Statistics
6. As per stat three above, YouTube is the second most visited page online and the most visited social platform. I actually found this quite surprising due to the fact YouTube has fewer active monthly users than Facebook.
Via similarweb.com
7. YouTube is available in 80 different languages, which covers 95% of the total Internet population, as a comparison, Facebook is only available in 43 languages.
8. The number of channels with over 1 million subscribers has grown by over 65% when compared to the previous year. This highlights the audience available to influencers and creators utilising the platform.
9. Could 2020 finally be the year of the mobile? Well for YouTube it certainly seems to be the case as 70% of YouTube watch time comes from mobile devices.
10. 70% of what users watch on YouTube is determined by the platform's recommendation algorithm. From a marketing perspective, this further highlights the importance of understanding the platform you are using.
Instagram Statistics
11. Instagram has over 1 billion monthly active users, a significant increase of over 43% compared to the 700 million monthly users the platform had at the start of 2017.
12. Stories are the biggest success to come from Instagram, a feature that is now available widely across social sites. As of early 2019, Instagram stories had over 500 million daily active users, a figure that is only going to have increased.
13. When looking at utilising Instagram from a business perspective it's important to understand how users interact with brands on the platform. According to Facebook, 83% of users surveyed have discovered new products or services via Instagram, further proving the importance of Instagram as part of a social media marketing strategy.
Via facebook.com
14. Following on from the previous point, 200 million Instagram users will visit at least one business profile per day. This just further shows that Instagram users are actively engaging with different brands on the platform.
15. America is the largest audience on Instagram (110 million) however, it is not a majority when compared to the total user base. 89% of all Instagram users are outside of the US.
TikTok Statistics
16. Since its launch in September 2016 TikTok has grown an audience that includes 500 million active users across the globe. This has catapulted TikTok to the 9th largest social media network ahead of the likes of Twitter and Snapchat.
17. TikTok has had over 1.5 billion downloads on the App Store and Google Play, another figure that proves it is one of the most popular apps. In 2018 alone the app was downloaded over 655 millions times!
Via sensortower.com
18. TikTok has become the most popular with younger audiences with 41% of users being between the age of 16 and 24. The popularity with younger users is likely the main reason behind the success of the platform.
19. Not only has TikTok gained a huge user base, but it's also gained a very active one with the average user spending 52 minutes a day on the app. This covers everything from watching and engaging with other users to creating and uploading their own content.
20. In addition to the above statistics, 90% of all TikTok users use the app on a daily basis, further displaying how active their users are.
Twitter Statistics
21. As of 2019 Q1, Twitter has 330 million monthly active users and 145 million daily active users. While it doesn't boast figures like Facebook and Instagram, Twitter's user base has continued to grow consistently year on year.
Via statista.com
22. Twitter is the platform to go to for discovery with 79% of Twitter users using the platform to discover what's new.
23. When taking a closer look at those who use Twitter, the majority (66%) are male. Understanding the demographics, including gender, of those who use social platforms can be crucial for brands when making a decision about which to use.
24. As a platform, Twitter is typically used for less time per session (3.39 minutes) compared to the likes of Facebook and TikTok, which fits with it being the platform that has become a go-to source of quick news for many users.
25. From a B2B marketing perspective, Twitter is one of the most popular social media platforms. 67% of all B2B businesses are using Twitter as part of a wider digital marketing strategy – if you aren't using it, you might be at a disadvantage as it's likely your competitors are.
There's a world of figures and statistics that can be used to help improve your social media marketing strategy. Due to the fast-paced nature of the industry, it can be hard to keep up to date with the latest figures, however, armed with the above statistics you should be in a good place to start.

Damien Moore MP welcomes funding to help people off the streets in Sefton
Damien Moore has welcomed the Government's announcement that more than £25 million will be allocated to 108 areas across the country, including Sefton – providing vital funding to help the most vulnerable rough sleepers off the streets as part of the Conservative Government's £100 million plan to end rough sleeping by 2027.
Sefton is set to receive £142, 000 as part of this funding, which will provide rough sleepers with the specialist support they need to get off the streets for good. Local authorities such as Sefton will use this investment to fund innovative local schemes aimed at supporting vulnerable people, so they are able to get into stable accommodation where they will then receive the tailored care they need.
This will include:
Somewhere Safe to Stay rough sleeping centres – where people on the streets can access professional help and guidance, including immediate shelter and mental health support.
Navigator posts – specialist support workers who direct people to the services they need, such as counselling, housing advice services, mental health support or substance misuse services.
Supported Lettings Schemes – helping people to secure tenancies in properties that they may not otherwise be able to access.
Dedicated Local Letting Agencies – specialist agencies that support vulnerable people into affordable and stable accommodation.
Commenting, Damien Moore said:
"The Conservative Party is working hard to ensure no one has to spend a night on the streets, and this investment will provide vulnerable people in Sefton with the support they need to get off the streets for good.
"Local authorities will be able to use the funding to develop the right support for vulnerable rough sleepers in their local areas. Sefton has put forward some innovative plans that I know will make a real difference to people's lives, and I look forward to working with them so that no one in Sefton has to spend a night on the streets."
Housing and Homelessness Minister Heather Wheeler MP said:
"We are taking steps to ensure people in the North West never have to face even one night on the streets.
"These are vulnerable people, who may be dealing with complex mental health problems or addictions and require specialist support to tackle these issues and turn their lives around.
"The funding confirmed today will ensure those sleeping on the streets in the North West have access to the professional help and guidance they need to get back on their feet – taking us one step closer to ending rough sleeping for good."
This additional funding for Sefton forms part of the Conservative Government's £100 million plan to end rough sleeping by 2027. Progress is already being made with the first fall in rough sleeping since 2010 and falls of almost 20 per cent in the worse-affected area. Schemes like this will help us achieve our ambition of being a country in which no-one needs to spend a night on the streets.

Eagle Spotlight: Jack Belanger
Courtesy: Jack Belanger
Jack Belanger '17 stands with his Eagle Project at Nichols Field
Colton Mailloux, Staff Writer
Another Hollis Brookline student is getting his wings. After finishing his Eagle project and board of review, Jack Belanger '17 is now in the home stretch of his Boy Scout career. All that is left to do is have the Eagle Ceremony.
Belanger's Eagle project was to build recycling units for Nichols Field. He built two units, each consisting of bins for plastic and cans, along with the original trash cans. Belanger built the units out of special outdoor wood with a sturdy design. This would make it possible to stand strong for many years before needing maintenance. Belanger said "There were only trash cans there," and he wanted to help the environment by implementing a recycling system near the baseball diamond.
"My interest stemmed from Nate [Corsetti '17] and Jeremiah [Jacobs '17] telling me to join the Scouts," the troupe had monthly pizza parties, which helped persuade elementary-school aged Belanger. He started as a Wolf in Cub Scouts in third grade, and rose through the ranks into Boy Scouts. His favorite trip was visiting Glacier National Park in Montana. "The landscape is very different from New Hampshire, Belanger commented. "You get to see so much wildlife up close in a whole different terrain. A whole new adventure, far away, sometimes by yourself, a complete learning experience of nature."
Jack is awaiting his ceremony to become an official Eagle."I'm waiting to do it with my friends, Ben [Thyng '17] and Kyle [Swanson (Bishop Guertin) '17]," Jack said. He says that it means more to him to become an Eagle with his friends, who have been with him through his whole Boy Scout experience. If everyone passes their board of review, they all plan to have their ceremony sometime this May.
