Virtually, the year-round preparational work on the Youth Biennial 2021 (April 2020 – March 2021) project has been mostly based on the local capacities and topics, i.e. working with young artists as part of the initiative Youth ULUS which was started by ULUS, working with new members of ULUS which during the duration of last year there has been a record amount of membership applications (100), then on the strengthening of inner resources of thought and production of art (speech programs of ULUS during 2020). The Youth ULUS initiative was founded in 2020 as a special program unit of the Association of Fine Artists of Serbia for the cooperation with young artists and as a place of incubation of the new members of the Association. The activities of the initiative serve the promotion of young artists as well as their training in terms of an independent organization of an art program.
During July and August 2020, public preparations were organized for the Youth Biennial project at the Art Pavilion "Cvijeta Zuzoric" and via an online channel of communication. 100 young artists participated in the preparations who had the chance to join in on working with the oldest professional association of artists in the region, creating their own field of action which is completely self-organized – the organization structure and mission of the Youth Biennial. Workshops and lectures of noted experts in the field of contemporary art were held (available to the broader public via the YouTube channel of the Association), and research was conducted around the cultural scene and the institutional infrastructure, the purpose of which was to empower the group of young artists to start their own event this year – an international project under the wing of ULUS. The Project has been, in terms of volunteers, supported by a large number of curators, critics, organizers of cultural events and artists such as Stevan Vuković, Ksenija Đurović, Jelena Vesić, Nada Grozdanić, Branislav Dimitrijević, Irena Ristić, Maja Ćirić, Mirjana Boba Stojadinović, Maja Lalić, Marijana Cvetković, Dejan Vasića, Divna Vuksanović, Isidora Ilić, Aleksandrija Ajduković and Danilo Prnjat.
Given that working in teams which are horizontally organized requires constant reevaluation of achieved results and further orientation, during January and February 2021, an additional public preparation program was organized – public preparation II, with the intent of working on the reorganization of strengths and integration of new members of the team. The continuation of the public preparation program was organized in seven sessions which were organized by a group of young people who was up to that moment working on the preparation of the Biennial, with the support of mentors who were active in the field of thinking through the horizontal organization, contemporary curatorship practices of production in the field of art and architecture of presentations: PhD Stevan Vuković, PhD Irena Ristić, PhD Maja Lalić, PhD Maja Ćirić, PhD Marijana Cvetković, prof. PhD Pavle Stamenković and PhD Petar Cigić.
In both phases of public preparations intensive communication was maintained with European (Sala D'Art Jove, Barselona, Spain), regional (Institut za savremenu umjetnost Crne Gore, Podgorica, Montenegro, Fakultet za stvari koje se ne mogu naučiti, Skopje, North Macedonia) and local (Dom kulture Studentski grad i Arhitektonski fakultet in Belgrade) associates on the project. Even though the project has associates from the European Union, the Youth Biennial is at its core a local project, initiated so that it can, through a two-year process of education, exchange and production of artworks, establish a horizontal platform for connecting the works of young people in the field of the fine arts of the Balkans. The focus of the project is on the non-established artists, curators, architects and managers who will create their own field of action together, which involves not only the production and performance of artworks but also establishing discourse and a distribution of knowledge. This group of young people also falls into a very socially vulnerable group, especially when looking at it from the economic point of view, given the fact that there doesn't exist an adequate framework by which one transitions from the end of their academic studies into the professional field and deals with art on a local and international level.
The idea is that the Biennial be the leader of the international networking process of young actors in the field of art, as well as the organization itself, that through the Youth Biennial the institution of art gains in strength in terms of the exhibition, the organization, the promotion and the interpretation – and for it not to be dependent upon the working of curators and critics, whether foreign or local as well as the available topics and contexts of the exhibition.

Flexible Foam Interfacing: A Whole New World of Sewing!
If you have been into sewing from a while now, I'm sure you have come across those amazing Vera Bradley bags that make you want to part with your money irrespective of their price tag. And one of the most important reasons you find them so appealing is their feather-weight structure, and the ability to hold their shape despite being surprisingly lightweight.
Some of you may have tried to find out how to make them, but most likely without success. Well, making them seems to be more of a secret among the sewing community, but it won't be anymore, as you will learn in this post everything about it that you need to make them at your home for a fraction of the cost of what you end up spending on them from time to time.
However, it's not just those cool bags that you would be making using flexible foam interfacing, but also a lot of other cool things.
Flexible foam interfacing is basically a product like this one right here. It's actually something that comes with an amazing combination of foam, fusibility, flexibility and an ability to be super lightweight, and uses them to pave the way for a type of interfacing that allows making super cool bags, totes and many more products like the Vera Bradley bags we talked about above.
The foam part is sandwiched between two layers of fabric that are super soft and extremely thin. Most flexible interfacing products are made of polyester, which allows them to be long-lasting, not shrink when used over a long period of time, as well as be washable. There are mainly two types of these products – the sew-in ones and the fusible ones.
One of the best things about flexible foam interfacings is that you can squish them in any direction and for any length of time, but they will regain their shape right after being released. This kind of flexibility allows making things much more functional, flexible and durable than they would be when made using some other type of fabric.
Foam interfacing's flexibility and ability to not lose its shape makes it an incredible material for making things like bags, Tiny Tony Totes, fabric baskets and pretty much anything that could do with a lot of flexibility.
Many times, sewers tend to use fusible fleece when making bags. And although it works fine most of the time, the crinkling that's a result of it getting fused to the fabric is something inevitable. It's also nowhere near as soft and flexible as something made using foam interfacing can be.
Making bags or any other similar items using fusible fleece is also very challenging as it gets bulky and even some of the more powerful sewing machines find it difficult to keep up with it.
However, with foam interfacing, you can scrunch, squish or do anything to the bag to make it lose its shape and it will bounce right back into its shape. This also makes it stand upright on its own, which is otherwise a near-impossible thing to do with bags.
Similarly, things made using foam interfacing also help save a huge amount of space when traveling, as they could be crushed to take up as less space as possible. They also weigh way less than they would if made using other materials, and are very soft and comfortable to carry.
While there are many other advantages of using foam interfacing, one of the more important of them is that it gives the things you make using it a professional look and feel, something that you usually only get with the more expensive products on the market.
While flexible foam interfacing is a wonder product when it comes to sewing – and will help you make incredible things – there are only a few brands that offer it. So it makes sense to walk you through some of the best ones, while giving you an overview of what they have to offer.
If you're looking to make a bag using foam interfacing, then Soft and Stable would be right up your alley. It comes with a silky feel, prevents the end product from getting stiff, and works great at making bags and other things with a professional touch.
It's also one of the more durable options on the market, which makes it ideal for making things like makeup and toiletry bags, planner cover, travel totes and more.
Bosal In-R-Foam has its own unique set of advantages to offer, including being denser and sturdier than the Soft and Stable interfacing. This allows it to hold its shape, as well as make the products made using it to stand on their own better.
I think it would be one of the better options when making larger bags, Tiny Town Totes, fabric baskets and many other things, especially including the ones that need to stand on their own.
It also offers quite a variety of fusible options, including one-sided fusible, two-sided fusible, as well as sew-in. This means that no matter how specific your needs are, one of the three options may fit the bill perfectly for you.
First things first, Pellon Flex Foam offers the same options that the product above does. It, however, isn't as soft as the other two products we discussed above. In fact, it's the thickest of the three.
That said, it's also the least expensive of them all, and is available more easily than the other two. In other words, if the thickness is not a problem for you and you're on a tight budget, the Pellon Flex Foam may turn out to be your best bet.
It may actually work better for making things that will be subjected to a lot of wear, including backpacks, everyday bags, as well as even tablet or binder covers, among others.
If you're not an expert at sewing, you may feel that using foam interfacing may turn out to be more challenging than what you can handle. Well, let me tell you that's absolutely not the case.
Foam interfacing is very simple to use, and once you get the hang of it, you will have no difficulty making super cool, even some of the larger things using it. If you make mistakes when working with it, you would be able to correct them easily without messing anything up.
Making something like a simple quilted placemat may be a good option when you're just starting off with it, and take things to the next level once your creativity kicks in.

She's gone
By Tom Gascoyne
Talk about getting scooped. Imagine our surprise to read in last week's Enterprise-Record that our publisher, Kathy Barrett, had quit. In truth, my journalistic instincts kicked in the day before that story came out when an E-R reporter called and said, "We heard Kathy Barrett quit." I made a note to jot down that information and do some good old-fashioned gumshoe investigating. First I'd call Kathy's office. If that didn't work, I'd walk downstairs and knock on her office door. I'd get to the bottom of this, I told myself. Unfortunately, that night the cleaning people threw away my note reminding me to look into the matter.
The next day, we read the story in the E-R. But like most of what we read there, we were skeptical. Then, one of our sales reps said, "You know, now that I think about it, I did notice Kathy's office has been dark the last few days." Another chimed in, "Yeah, and there's suddenly an extra space in the parking lot. Hmm," she said, nodding her head and tapping her forefinger against her right temple, "this is starting to make sense." And with that a flood of circumstantial evidence poured forth. Kathy's mailbox was full. Her IN/OUT button on the board next to the front door was missing. So was her name. We all agreed that none of us had seen either her husband Jim or her son Calloway around the office for at least a week. We looked at each other in stunned disbelief. Could the E-R story be true? Was our Georgia peach really gone? We mentally staggered under the crushing weight of this cruel and unforgiving realization. "Kathy," we cried out in unison, "we hardly knew ye!"
That's not really accurate. Here's the story: Last week we were remiss not to report that our publisher, Kathy Barrett, had decided after eight years here to expand her horizons and try something new, like raising her son and maybe running her own business. We'll miss her sharp wit and delightful Georgia accent, both of which have been flavored by stays in New York and San Francisco. We wish her luck and aren't all that sad because she and her family are still in town. And I got a new parking space.
We got a tip this week that Assemblyman Rick Keene was turned away from a governor's press conference on the new man's second day in office. We heard Keene was stopped at the door, so he pushed his business card forward to show his credentials—he was recently named the lead Republican member of the Assembly Budget Committee. But the card came back and the doors didn't open. We called Keene's chief of staff, Cliff Wagner, who was in Chico, but he told us he hadn't heard anything about it and seriously doubted it was true. I suggested maybe Keene didn't have the proper reporter's credentials. "Well the only thing I could think of is if every square inch of the governor's press room was filled, maybe then," Wagner said. "You ever been in that room?" I said I hadn't. "Well, it's pretty small." (Actually the conference was held in Memorial Auditorium.) Wagner called back later to confirm the tip and said Keene hadn't heard that the press conference was for reporters only. (Hey, maybe this new guy isn't too bad.) We're guessing Keene said in a thick Austrian accent, "I'll be back!" before he walked away.

Last month, the 73-year-old was found guilty of murder, promoting enmity between groups, and defiling public property. The Delhi High Court's judgement had reversed a lower court's 2013 verdict acquitting Kumar. Kumar was sent to jail after he surrendered before a trial court on December 31.
After his conviction, Kumar had resigned from the Congress party and had also moved an appeal in the top court. The appeal will be heard by a bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi.
The violence against Sikhs in early November 1984 had followed the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The case in which Kumar was convicted relates to the murder of five Sikhs in Delhi Cantonment's Raj Nagar Part-I area and arson at a gurdwara in Raj Nagar Part-II.
Sam Pitroda apologises, says remark on 1984 anti-Sikh violence was misrepresented

AWESOME Founder encourages leaders to seize opportunities
Ann Drake, founder of AWESOME and CEO of DSC Logistics, welcomed participants to the 2016 Symposium with remarks about challenging, innovating and leading – three themes of the Symposium. "We have to be totally fearless when it comes to new ideas new solutions and new pathways."
She continued, "We live in a world and we lead in an industry where leaders are bombarded with non-stop opportunities and change, and businesses are in a constant state of transition and reinvention. In this rapidly changing world the perspectives and strengths of women are critical to business success. The world needs more women leaders who can seize opportunity and lead through collaboration."
"More and more we are in a position to make things happen. Instead of waiting and hoping for opportunities we must create them. Leadership today is about values and tough choices and longer- term sustainability of our enterprises and our world."
Ann Drake founded AWESOME in early 2013 after receiving the 2012 Distinguished Service Award from CSCMP, the first women to be selected for the award in the 47 years since it was created.

Insights and Advice from the 2016 ALL Honorees
What do the 2016 AWESOME Legendary Leadership (ALL) Award honorees have in common – in addition to the fact they have outstanding careers and have made it to the top of a traditionally male field? Both credit their upbringing in a "rural environment" for instilling a strong work ethic; both believe supply chain plays a critical role in the success of their company and the world economy; and both take pride in the steps their company is taking to provide a more diverse culture.
Jackie Sturm, VP, Technology and Manufacturing Group, General Manager of Global Supply Chain Management, Intel Corporation talked about her career at the 2016 AWESOME Symposium in an Up-Close Conversation with Debbie Lentz, 2015 ALL Award recipient and SVP and Chief Supply Chain Officer, Toys"R"Us, Inc. Annette Clayton, EVP & Chief Supply Chain Officer, Global Supply Chain, Schneider Electric, shared her views on leadership and success via video from her home base in Singapore.
Influence of early environments
Annette described growing up on a farm where "we did all of our work. We never hired someone else to do anything." There she learned to take things apart and put them back together, something she considers a foundation for her decision to study engineering.
Jackie grew up on her grandparents' cherry orchard in what is now Silicon Valley. She says in these rural environments, "hard work is the currency of the realm." In college, she studied finance and spent her early career with Hewlett Packard.
The role of supply chain
Annette said: "Supply chains evolved from being branded as cost centers to sources of competitive advantage that deliver value to the customers….If sales inventory and operations planning is the nervous system of a supply chain, it's the supply chain itself that's the heartbeat of any business."
She continued, "My hope for the future of supply chain is that we continue to get, you know, more and more important seats at the C-table. We see trends like digitization driving value in the end-to-end supply chain network, into your customers, into your suppliers. And I think those companies that figure out how to optimize that end-to-end using digitization are the companies that are going to win."
Jackie sees supply chain as an important partner with engineering and product development: "I am deeply committed to the importance of manufacturing and value-added products as the backbone of the economy. The middle class has jobs because we create value-added products and manufacture them in local environments….As a supply chain person, I've tried to really work to help bring ideas to reality. You can only succeed if you have both compelling products as well as a cost effective way to deliver that product so that the customer who wants it can also afford it."
She also said, "My vision for the supply chain of the future is very energizing. I see it as a place where we are not just sought out. We're routinely a critical part of defining and delivering amazing products that are going to lead the world."
What are their companies doing to advance women?
According to Jackie, "Intel as a corporation is pledging to achieve gender parity by the year 2020. And this year we announced equivalent gender pay for the first time. We are making real traction toward our 2020 goals… Intel's network of executive women is actively sponsoring our top female talent in order to find bigger and more influential roles for them. And we are making significant progress as measured by the increasing numbers of directors, vice presidents, and fellows who are females in background but stand out for their merit as well."
As Annette described her company, "Schneider embraces gender diversity as a business imperative. We are committed to it because it's not only the right thing to do but the smart thing to do. And we back up our commitments with action. In just a few short months, more than 24,000 male Schneider employees joined the United Nations sponsored HeForShe movement and we've been given the CEO leadership Award for advancing Women's equality by the Women's Empowerment Principles Organization."
Annette Clayton and Jackie Sturm also offered career advice for women, and their comments will be included in the Collective Wisdom in the upcoming fifth volume of AWESOME'S REALITY CHECK.

Symposium panel of supply chain leaders focuses on innovation and leading change
Supply chain leaders who participated in the 2016 AWESOME Symposium session titled "Supply Chain Innovation: Leading Change for Future Success" shared steps their companies have taken to encourage and achieve innovation. As one panelist said, "The sweet spot of innovation is being close to the customer."
Panelists agreed that companies that want to be innovative need to seek out good information and input, even if that means reaching out beyond the company. One member of the panel related how her company came up with a new approach to become more efficient about maintenance. With the goal of making the ordering of supplies more proactive — less reactive — they talked to suppliers and asked them to bring ideas to the table. In this example and others, sometimes the best sources are those not traditionally being tapped. Another company did something similar when they formed a council of NGOs to talk about making the supply chain more sustainable.
Sometimes a consultant is brought in to take an objective view. Another company held a "break-a-thon" where they asked people to take a closer look by "breakIng apart " how they do things.
The panelists agreed on another point: Innovation must be driven from the top and built into the culture. Sometimes changing the culture requires small steps, perhaps even hiring people with different skillsets from those of the current team members. It's critical that teams truly understand each other and are communicating to find and formulate a vision together. Often that involves "bridging," or working across silos.
More insights from this discussion will be incorporated in the fifth volume of REALITY CHECK. Watch for the report's release on this website in a few weeks.
Panelists for this Symposium session included Linda Bryant, VP, Global Strategy & Business Excellence, Janssen Supply Chain, a Johnson & Johnson Company; Francesca DeBiase, Chief Supply Chain and Sustainability Officer, McDonald's Corporation; Alexandra Lopez, CPO & VP Operations, Cisco Systems; and Kristen Workman, VP, Supply Chain Performance, Global Supply Chain, Schneider Electric. Moderator of the discussion was Stacey Taylor, SVP & Chief Procurement Officer, MGM Resprts International.

Nike panel of Women in Sport share what they've learned about competing
and achieving
Charlie Brooks, VP, NA Communications, NIKE, Inc. moderated a conversation among four outstanding women in sport at the 2016 AWESOME Symposium. He set the scene by quoting Nike founder Phil Knight: "At Nike it's about the athlete. It always has been and always will be."
Members of the panel were Debbie Antonelli, Basketball Analyst; Joan Benoit Samuelson, Running, Health and Fitness Clinician and NIKE, Inc. Consultant; and Cynthia Cooper-Dyke, Head Coach, USC Women's Basketball; and Sarah Reinertsen, Ironman Triathlete.
We've selected some Words of Wisdom from that conversation that we think apply almost universally to women advancing in their careers.
Joan Benoit Samuelson:
"You can't be complacent. You have to take action. Life is not a spectator sport. You have to be active. And you have to have the vision that you talked about. You have to see things."
"And then you can't sit and let somebody else do it. You have to take the bull by the horns and run."
(One of Joan's many accomplishments was winning a gold medal at the 1984 Olympics. View a video of that achievement.)
"There's still disparity in sports. There's still disparity in some work places. And that's why I say it's still a work in progress. But that gives us something to keep working on and you know, forging ahead with. And it's teamwork you've heard about up here. It's not just us…It's everybody in our cohort, everybody in our sport, everybody who appreciates hard work and dedication. You can't just sit and think things are going to happen for you. You have to be a part of it."
Cynthia Coooper-Dyke:
"It matters how much work you put into it. It matters what you're willing to drive, the determination, the passion that you have."
"Each one of us has our own challenges. But if you are able to hang tough in the tough moments that life brings you, then you're able to be successful."
"We are women of action. We don't just stand by the sideline and let things happen to us. But we make things happen."
(View Cynthia's acceptance speech when she was inducted into the Naismath Memorial Hall of Fame.)
When asked "What's the secret of great coaching?":
"Confidence and never arriving. You're constantly seeking out more information, how to get better, be stronger, find a different way to do it."
"Another big thing is flexibility. I don't recruit players and make all those different players from different environments fit into my system. I really adapt my system to the players I have on my team."
Debbie Antonelli:
"You can do more than you think you can do."
"When you're on a team and you're playing your role you may not like your role. But it's important that you understand if you want to change your role then you've got to put the hard work in to be able to do that."
When asked about creating her own identity in a field (sports casting) traditionally dominated by men:
"Fear of failure and the margin for error are very high motivators for me. Because when you're in the men's field, they may be looking for you as a female to make a mistake. I understand that mentality. And I welcome it. I don't feel extra pressure for it. I'm challenged by it. I want to be the best I can be. In order to do that it's got to be hard work and passion."
"Every female that's on television I am rooting for. Even though some of them are my competition. Overall, I need them to be successful because the better they are at what they do, the the more that unconscious bias will dissipate."
Sarah Reinertsen:
"You've got to celebrate the little victories in order to get the big one."
We look at these systems where it's been male dominated. And I think a lot of it is because they have figured out the trick of fraternity. And we women need to do better about figuring out the trick of cooperation and sorority. We can have a lot more power if we are collective in our efforts."
"I definitely think the highlight of my career was doing the Hawaii Ironman – being the first in something, the first woman on a prosthetic leg to do so. And the reason why I went for it was actually because another amputee gentleman with a prosthetic leg who had done the race told me that he didn't think a woman could do it."
About Nike's mission statement: If you've got a body, you are an athlete:
"I love that quality and that everybody matters no matter what shape or size you have, whether you've got both feet, one foot, one arm, no arms, whatever it is that you are part of that family of athletes."
"I always like to say fear less, live more. But that doesn't mean you're not going to feel fear. It means don't let the fear stop you. Push forward. And you can do amazing things when you learn to be uncomfortable."
Men talk about real steps toward diverse leadership
A panel of male supply chain leaders at the 2016 AWESOME Symposium spoke candidly about their own experiences and how their companies are working to increase diversity. Their starting point was giving reactions to recommendations from "Paradigm of Parity," a call to action by a group of female CEOs, board members, and academics to achieve gender parity by 2030.
One of the most pervasive and persistent challenges, according to panel members, is unconscious bias – particularly because it is unconscious. "Today, you don't have overt cases of people saying 'I don't want women on the team,'" said one panel member.
Some ways to address unconscious bias include:
Developing a vocabulary that enables candid discussion and permits people to admit they might be biased
Identifying behaviors that are not conducive to women participating fully, such as all men sitting around a circle, the only woman sitting on the side; letting every conversation be about football, etc.
Providing formal bias training for managers
Recognizing and "squashing" stereotypes when discussing the way leaders work – i.e. criticizing a woman for the same behavior a man is praised for
The panel also agreed that "measuring what matters" – the actual numbers of women being able to advance to higher levels – is essential. According to one panelist, "If you're not measuring the number of diverse candidates that are put on the slate and if you're not looking at gender participation you're never going to get to the change that you need." To succeed in becoming more diverse, the panel suggested, companies need men to be "champions."
Sandra Beach Lin, former President and CEO of Calisolar, Inc., and one of the leaders in the development of Paradigm for Parity, moderated the discussion by panelists Astad Dhunjisha, Chief Inclusion and Diversity Officer, Monsanto Company; Rick Frazier, Chief Product Supply and Service Officer, Coca-Cola Refreshments; Eric Sprunk, COO, NIKE, Inc.; and Steve Inacker, Formerly President, Hospital Sales and Services, Cardinal Health, Medical Segment.
The panel's insights into other topics, including how diversity leads to innovation will be included in the upcoming fifth volume of REALITY CHECK.
Symposium panel on "Taking it to the Next Level" – with Ann Drake (center), AWESOME founder –
left to right: Tanya Fratto, Lynn Utter, Joanne Bauer, and Joyce Russell.
Taking Leadership to the Next Level – Beyond Supply Chain
At the 2016 Symposium, a panel of accomplished C-suite leaders and board directors shared insights about moving beyond functional responsibilities into the highest roles. In a discussion led by Joanne Bauer, former President, Health Care, Kimberly-Clark Corporation, and current board member of several organizations, panelists were asked what is required to be successful at these levels of leadership.
Panelists were Tanya Fratto, Joyce Russell, and Lynn Utter. Read some of their career highlights below.
Key points of advice from these successful women include:
In every role, be sure to "over-perform" – do each job just a little better than anyone would have expected you to do.
Talk less and act more – be a "doer."
"Hire slow and fire fast" – focus on talent and building great teams.
Develop "executive presence" based on communication skills, appearance, and gravitas, also described as performance, image, and exposure.
Take the jobs other people won't do and get the job done.
Build a network – a circle of friends who will talk over tough challenges with you.
Assess the group you're presenting to and working with – and adapt your communication to them.
Find or develop a sponsor who will see opportunities for you that you don't see for yourself.
Look for honest feedback and learn from it.
Embrace the ambition that is in you.
Whatever your current role, understand more about the company from the CEO perspective.
Other topics they covered include how to know when it's time to make a career change, how to move between functional and P&L roles, and how to balance the demands of work, family and community. More of their insights will be included in AWESOME's fifth REALITY CHECK.
Tanya Fratto is Non-Executive Director at Smiths Group plc; former President and CEO, Diamond Innovations; she spent over 25 years with General Electric, including President and CEO of GE's Superabrasives business; and is on the Board of Directors, ADS.
Joyce Russell is President, Adecco Staffing US, on the Board of the Committee of 200 and recipient of C200's Corporate Innovator Luminary Award.
Lynn Utter is on the Board of Directors of WESCO International; former President/COO, Knoll Office; former Chief Strategy Officer at Coors Brewing Company; Board of Directors, Merchants Metals.
Christie Smith, Deloitte's diversity and inclusion leader, calls for new approach
After being introduced by Heather Sheehan, AWESOME's Director of Member Engagement & Sponsorships, as "one of the world's most advanced thinkers, writers, speakers and change agents in leadership and diversity" Christie Smith suggested many well-intentioned efforts at increasing diversity are "a massive failure." Christie is Regional Managing Principal, Consulting Deloitte, and Managing Partner, Deloitte University.
In an Up-Close Conversation, a signature element of AWESOME Symposiums, Christie described the concept of "covering," which involves individuals downplaying an aspect of themselves they see as stigmatizing. She told the compelling story of her own experience at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, and how she "'covered" her emotional distress afterward.
Christie also believes diversity and inclusion efforts need to evolve beyond "affinity groups," which she says actually can segregate the populations they are trying to help. Leaders need to be asked if their organization is "really is really living up to its stated values of inclusion." She urges organizations to look at the totality of the individual, "bring people together in an organization around diversity of thought to solve business issues," and tie inclusion to brand image.
More of Christie's insights will be incorporated into Volume Five of REALITY CHECK, AWESOME's listening-based record of Symposium discussions, which will be published soon. You can also view Christie's Ted Talk: It's Time to Look Under the Covers.
Nike gives AWESOME leaders a first-hand look at World Headquarters
Participants in the AWESOME Symposium on April 27-29 began the event with a tour of the World Headquarters of NIKE, Inc., 2016 Symposium Host Partner. The first-hand look gave tour members a taste of the company's culture and history.
Of special interest to visitors was the history room, which tells the story of running enthusiast Phil Knight, who founded the company with his running coach Bill Bowerman.
Throughout the campus, buildings named for sports greats such as Michael Jordan, Mia Hamm, Bo Jackson, and Nolan Ryan, show the company's respect for athletes and their accomplishments. Many interior spaces display some of those athletes' memorabilia.
The tour also included facilities for just about any type of physical exercise, which Nike encourages employees to use, bringing to life the NIKE Mission:
"Bring Innovation and Inspiration to every athlete in the world.*
*If you have a body, you're an athlete."
The tour was followed by a networking reception in the Tiger Woods Center.

Changing the rhythms of a city with Wiretapper app
4 things B2B Marketers can learn from Malik the billboard bachelor
Give your content the self-help treatment
On Friday I attended a performance of a new piece of site-specific theatre, but I wasn't so much taken by the spectacle as I was by the sound design – and the technology used to deliver it.
'Monument' was created by David Rosenberg (one of the co-founders of Shunt, an experimental theatre collective) alongside long-time collaborators Ben and Max Ringham – sibling sound designers who've become stalwarts of the West End.
I received a brief email with instructions on how to prepare for the show, directing me to download an app called 'Wiretapper', to turn up with a fully charged phone and headphones, look inconspicuous and to "dress warm".
We were told to meet on the main concourse of a major overground railway station in Central London, phones in hand and wearing our headphones. At exactly 6.30pm, my phone buzzed and spat up a notification from the 'Wiretapper' app. I tapped the play icon and the experience began.
Without dwelling too much on the specifics of the production, the Ringams' sound design was absolutely phenomenal. They fully embraced the opportunity to play with an audience immersed in their own stereo bubbles, beginning the piece with the background noise of a station concourse – complete with slightly unhinged tannoy announcements.
The experience was disorienting; it became instantly impossible to distinguish between the audio of the production and the sounds of life outside my headphones. Due to the vagueness of the meeting point and the armies of commuters also plugged into their smartphones, it was nigh on impossible to identify fellow audience members elsewhere in the station. But once the show began this became slightly easier; smiles crept onto the faces of stationary strangers in headphones, reacting physically to noise sources around them that weren't actually there.
The piece explored the idea of surveillance; we were merely operatives involved in some sort of covert operation. We moved around the city, guided only by directions from our recorded narrator – encountering shady characters from a distance that spoke to us discretely via our 'earpieces'. Staged in public spaces, surrounded by tourists and commuters, the real world merged with the narrative. We watched an ordinary tourist (who turned out to be an operative) change his baseball cap by a fountain perfectly on the narrator's cue, then tuned into the in-flight announcement of an aeroplane flying overhead – it was all timed to perfection.
Being one of the chosen few in busy locations who'd been granted access to this strange alternate reality was quite exhilarating. Members of the public were genuinely unaware that at least 30 of the people dotted around them with their headphones in were part of the same community, experiencing something altogether different.
This isn't the first time Rosenberg and the Ringhams have staged headphone-based theatre performances, but it is the first time they've enabled audiences to tune in by using their own devices. 'Wiretapper' was developed by the team specifically for the show, described on the app store as "a project to facilitate audio-based performance or events in public spaces". Rosenberg said of the new technology that it "may well lay the foundations for a digital revolution in audio theatre, and we're excited that Monument is its first experiment."
It wasn't hard to see the potential in the platform, for theatre productions and beyond. It's essentially a live-streaming audio tool, but even on my dodgy old iPhone 4s that finds it impossible to retain charge, it was faultless. I simply signed up with my name, email and my ticket's unique voucher code, then the show started when promised, playing perfectly for 50 minutes. Not a buffering symbol in sight.
For marketers, 'Wiretapper' presents an invaluable opportunity to speak to audiences en masse, without needing to shoulder the cost or risk of providing expensive audio hardware. This could revolutionise the way users engage with events, add a whole new dimension to experiential marketing stunts and provide a more cost-efficient alternative for audio tours at museums and galleries.
As a piece of theatre, 'Monument' lacked a bit of depth, but it demonstrated very clearly the quality of the app, and the power of collectively harnessing audiences' own mobile devices. Maybe one day this will be de rigueur, but as a new experience it was fresh and, at times, thrilling. Of course, like any new technology, it's not enough to use the app as a token gesture. But if 'Wiretapper' can be incorporated into a fitting creative concept or idea, marketers could create something truly magical.
'Wiretapper' is available across iOS and Android for free from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Invictus Law, P.C. helps California's injured workers pursue claims against parties other than their employers after they have been injured on the job. We represent clients in Riverside and San Bernardino counties and in all Orange County communities, including Orange, Irvine and Santa Ana. Our legal team's goal is to help you overcome obstacles.
Third-party negligence may also be more common among certain vocations and in certain industries.
California labor law allows you or your employer — or both of you — to bring a suit against a negligent third party, including a property owner, auto or auto parts manufacturer, or machinery manufacturer. If you sue a third party, you must give a copy of the complaint to your employer by either personal service or certified mail. And, if your employer sues, you must receive a copy of that complaint by the same means. If both of you sue, you can join together in a single legal action.
You can also pursue workers' compensation while you pursue a civil suit against a third party. However, state law prohibits "double-dipping." Employers receive a credit or file a lien for any damages that the employee receives as a result of the third-party suit to compensate the employer for the cost of medical treatment and lost wages. The judge establishes reasonable litigation fees and attorney's fees and deducts these from the damages awarded.
Once we fully understand the nature of your accident and the circumstances surrounding your injury, we can recommend a legal course of action for a third-party suit. We can file your complaint and work with your employer if a consolidated or single suit would be to your advantage. Meanwhile, we can also counsel you about your qualification for disability benefits and how the two actions interplay. Our goal is to ensure that you receive the money you need to recover from your workplace injury.
Invictus Law, P.C. helps injured workers secure full and fair compensation for damages, including medical expenses and lost wages. Call us anytime at 949-287-5711 or use our online contact form to schedule a risk-free, complimentary consultation. We help you understand whether a third party may be liable for your injury. Our firm does not require you to pay any up-front attorney's fees unless we recover compensation for you.

Employment of people with disabilities by the U.S. government is at an all-time high, according to a new federal report.
At the close of fiscal year 2014, Uncle Sam employed more people with disabilities and these individuals represented a larger share of the workforce than at any other time since such record keeping began 34 years ago, the Office of Personnel Management said.
The news comes in an annual report to President Barack Obama issued this month that tracks disability hiring. Overall, the report found that federal offices hired 20,615 people with disabilities in 2014, bringing the total number of workers with disabilities to 247,608.
Of them, 1,424 new hires had targeted disabilities, a category that includes intellectual disabilities, epilepsy, deafness, blindness, paralysis, missing extremities, dwarfism and psychiatric disabilities.
In 2010, Obama issued an executive order pledging to increase hiring of people with disabilities by the federal government — the nation's largest employer — by 100,000 within five years.
Four years in, the government is "on track" to meet that goal with 72,000 full-time employees with disabilities having been added, according to Beth Cobert, acting director of the Office of Personnel Management.
"We are committed to ensuring that the federal government remains a model employer for people with disabilities. I look forward to achieving that goal and reporting back to you on our results," Cobert wrote in her report to Obama.
Beyond hiring, Cobert said her office is working with federal agencies to ensure that workers with disabilities are provided training, mentoring and the reasonable accommodations they need.


If you can believe it-- Meridian just doesn't seem to be in love with Costco these days.
Wholesale deals, discounted fuel, and samples -- how could you not love that?
Well, many Meridian residents don't feel the addition of this Costco near their homes is going to be great. be it from traffic, appearance, or home value--many residents wish this neighborhood Costco wasn't being built. As for the company, the growth in Meridian and the entire Treasure Valley just calls for another store.
Costco hopes to have this store opened by 2020 and their efforts have been including residential feedback. I never considered getting feedback on the appearance of a building like Costco has been seeking--but finding some compromise with are residents seems to show that they care.
According to an article in the Idaho Statesman, residents hope the store is more than just a gray building--perhaps Costco will soon have a newer store front model to use elsewhere, thanks to Meridian!

Newstead Brewing Co
In 2013, NOUS helped Newstead Brewing Co. to come into existence, manufacturing an imagined history out of real stories and developing a brand that felt like it'd been around forever. Pretty soon we were extending the new brand into packaging for bottled beer. Four years later, as part of the development of their new Milton brewery, Newstead Brewing Co. installed a canning line, to bring all their brewing and packing under one roof. The challenge for NOUS: design a range of new packs to carry all the legacy and history of the brand but with a fresh, contemporary look and a strong voice of their own to complete in the clamorous and expanding craft beer market.
The NOUS solution
Very early on in the design process we established the importance of Newstead as a brand in connecting and consolidating the story of each brew into a single-minded range of packs. The name, history and identifying colour of each beer had been established with the design of the range of bottled beers a few years earlier. What was needed was a sense of order, some kind of structure that would allow us to breathe life into each story, but still make it fit as part of a range.
By drilling down into the true Brisbane story of each beer we were able to determine a key geographic location for each … creating an order-of-appearance along and around the looping Brisbane river. Using a graphic of the stretch of river between St Lucia and Hamilton we designed a tone-on-tone facing for each can, so that positioning them together formed a "map" of Newstead Brewing's Brisbane and its stories. A sense of "piecing a puzzle together", or "try the whole range" pervades any group of packs that link strongly together — definitely a goal for the Newstead cans.
No need to spell it out mate.
Newstead's brand has always been about playing a bit of the larrikin, being a little ambiguous and avoiding the obvious. So whilst geo points are highlighted on each pack, only oblique hints are given to their actual locations. Illustrations on the facings are sometimes obtuse, sometimes straightforward, and allow each beer to begin to tell its own story. Beer names are individualised by a signature execution, referencing the story, its era, or just being different to the pack next to it. Back-of-pack stories are told in a winding yarn style, with understatement and laconic charm.
From a retail perspective, each pack needed to be able to stand on its own, with zero context, so the colour palette was ramped up, shaking off the muted colours of the old bottle labels, and delivering powerful shelf presence, as a range and individually.
Ooh! Pretty!
Strong, colourful, quirky and unafraid these new packs are a banner for the next phase Newstead Brewing Co. — and the new breed of craft brewer. Consumers respond, the beers deliver and everyone goes home just a little bit happier 🙂
Now, move from 'stranger' to 'acquaintance'
We're ready to take this to the next step if you are. Don't be a stranger.

Fraudsters masquerading as ISP support agents to phish payment card details have been unmasked – after they tried to scam a Brit infosec biz cofounder.
Kurtis Baron, director of the Cambridge-based penetration-testing outfit Fidus Information Security, told El Reg today how his cofounder Andrew Mabbitt received a private message from what appeared to be a legit Virgin Media customer support account on Twitter, a message that tried to harvest his bank card details.
The scam began when Mabbitt complained publicly to UK broadband giant Virgin Media on Twitter about a dodgy internet connection. A crook, operating a Virgin Media support lookalike account, clocked the gripe, and slid into his DMs asking for personal details to help out. Said details included things like confirming his card number.
"It was a very good attempt," Mabbitt said in his summary of the attack.
"It seems those behind the account(s) are watching for keywords in real time and sending these messages very quickly; exploiting both the speed of a reply and the frustration being held by the person writing the initial tweet."
Spotting the phishing attempt early on, our protagonist decided to play along with the ruse, giving the fraudsters a fictional name and address – in this case, the address being the Met Police, on Savile Row in London, and the name being Wade Wilson aka Marvell's potty-mouthed super-merc Deadpool.
Not realizing they were trying to con a comic-book antihero operating out of the capital's police HQ, the dimwit criminals proceeded to ask for payment card details. It was here that Mabbitt truly reeled them in, giving the scammers a dummy credit card number PayPal uses to let merchants test their payment systems. He also sent them links to a Fidus honeypot server for the miscreants to follow, revealing their public IP address (assuming they weren't smart enough to use something like Tor).
It was apparent at this point that Mabbitt was not exactly dealing with criminal masterminds. Still, the attackers were smart enough to not follow the first links he sent, and asked for a second credit card number when the test card details failed to authorize a charge. Mr Wilson had to go a bit deeper with his social engineering.
"Our intention here was clear, we wanted them to browse to an IP which we were hosting a webserver on to grab their IP address. Sadly, it wasn't as easy as we had hoped so we had to lay some more groundwork," Mabbitt said.
"They were adamant they needed another card, we were adamant we were going to get their IP address. It became a back and forward exchange."
Mabbitt stepped up his game by claiming American Express was at fault, and crafted a fake Cloudflare error page, hosted by the honeypot server, and passed a link to that page to the crooks to try to prove that the credit-card company was having website issues. Even that, however, failed to convince them to click on his link.
Finally, Mabbitt faked a screenshot of an SMS message that appeared to come from American Express warning of potential fraudulent activity on his card, and sent the pic to to the scammers. The text contained a link to a honeypot-hosted page that apparently had more details about the fraud alert. Hoping to cancel the alert, and unlock the card, the criminals clicked on the link, and revealed their IP address to the Fidus honeypot.
"Never did I think we'd be faking both CloudFlare error messages and SMS' to gain an IP address but we had come too far at this point to back out now," Mabbitt said.
At that point, Mabbitt pulled the plug, reporting the account and the IP address to Twitter and the Met Police. While the fate of the criminals is unknown, the lookalike Virgin Media Twitter account has since been suspended.

Do not overcook lentils, because they'll become mushy.
Nicole M. Presley People get all wrapped up in green salad and forget that a whole array of other salads exists. For some reason, the lentil salad gets lost in the crowd or people only think to serve lentils warm. This holiday season, I decided to bring it back to the table and serve it cold. The feta and avocado add a nice texture and taste to this bean salad. It also works well with other dishes, tying the whole meal together.

News - December 16, 2010
Wageningen UR switches to wind energy
Wageningen UR is switching energy provider and the new contract guarantees 100 percent green wind energy. Some of the energy may even come from the university's own wind park.
The moment the fireworks explode - at the stroke of twelve on new year's eve - Wageningen UR switches to green electricity. We won't actually notice the difference, explains energy procurement officer Harry Kester. The lights won't glow brighter, nor will the computers be faster. And it isn't cheaper, either: per kilowatt-hour the electricity is several percentage points more expensive even. But then it is green energy. The switch is a giant leap in Wageningen UR's efforts towards a more sustainable management.
Right now the electricity is still supplied by Essent. But as of 1 January E.ON Benelux will take over. This company won the tender earlier this year. E.ON Benelux guarantees that it will supply wind energy. Of all available forms of sustainable energy, wind energy was deliberately chosen, according to Kester. 'In this way we create a link between what we buy and what we generate ourselves.' Kester refers to Wageningen UR's three wind energy parks in Lelystad, of which he is the director.
Home-produced energy
As it happens, Wageningen UR uses almost as much electricity as that generated by its 26 wind turbines in Lelystad: 70 million kWh per year, in a good wind year. In principle the organization makes enough energy for its own needs. But it doesn't work like that, explains Kester: 'It would mean you'd have to install and manage underground electric cables between Wageningen and Lelystad, and that would be far too expensive.'
Physically there is no difference between green and grey (fossil fuel generated) energy. The difference lies in the paperwork. According to Kester, E.ON Benelux guarantees that the electricity used by Wageningen UR is procured as wind energy. This happens in line with what are known as Guarantees of Origin. As a result, less grey electricity is generated, reducing emissions of CO 2 . It is not known whether E.ON Benelux buys wind energy from the turbines in Lelystad, says Kester, as there is a complex intermediary trade between supplier and consumer. In spite of this it is not impossible that part of the physical electricity used by Wageningen originates from its own wind turbines.

Shawsheen Air Services, Inc. have been independently audited and proudly approved for workplace safety by Avetta (formerly known as PICS) which has served as a leading provider of risk management solutions globally to align business practices.
SAS has been Arbor's first choice for HVAC projects and maintenance at Arbor Networks for the past 7 years. They have the responsibility of maintaining our data centers around the clock. We have had little to no breakdowns under their watch. In the few occasions that we have had an emergency, SAS has answered the call in a timely manner. SAS just completed installing 4 new rooftop units and had a flawless start up. The service and installation crews at SAS provide top notch service. I am glad to have them on board servicing our building's needs.
Hiring Shawsheen Air Services, Incorporated to maintain our HVAC related equipment is a decision I am very pleased we made almost 20 years ago.
Unfortunately when SAS first came to our facility which is a 300,000 square foot distribution and corporate office facility they were introduced to an HVAC system which needed quite a bit of attention with control issues, balancing issues and a handful of other problems due to a less than professional installation.
We are as thrilled today with the professionalism of Tim Duggan, (SAS president) and the SAS service team as we were when they brought our troubled system under control years ago.
Since then SAS converted our old Honeywell Excel 5000 automation system to a web-based, Johnson Metasys Platform which provides us with more levels of flexibility, functionality, and a system with a stronger support network in this area. They have provided us with very knowledgeable service technicians to perform the preventive maintenance service on all our equipment, installation of new CRAC units to handle our server room needs as the company grew, updated/installed new high bay warehouse heating units which are more efficient, etc., the list goes on!
SAS has always been very efficient/prompt in handling emergency service calls.
I would also like to mention that during the planning stages of these projects and services provided by Tim and his team they have always taken into consideration the impact the project may have on our employees and have taken the time to really do their homework to be sure they "value engineer" the projects to offer CBD the best pricing possible.
I believe a vendor has to possess a strong work ethic, sense of responsibility, emphasis on quality, discipline, professionalism, and sense of teamwork.

Shawsheen Air Services, Inc. is this vendor! Shawsheen Air is a vendor with integrity that fosters trusting relationships with their clients. I have always valued their ability to give me honest feedback and trust them to provide professional sound advice.A strong sense of responsibility affects how Shawsheen Air Services, Inc. works and the amount of work they do. They never do only the bare minimum, or just enough to keep us up and running. They consistently go above and beyond with their strong work ethic as the quality of work shows in each and every job/task they perform.It takes a certain level of commitment to finish projects on time and they are a disciplined vendor that stays focused on goals and is determined to complete assignments in a timely manner. They continuously show a high level of knowledge and dedication to the clients they serve.You will not find a vendor that is more professional, honest or has more integrity than Shawsheen Air Services, Inc. I have a partnership with them that grows stronger each year. They keep my mechanical operations running both effectively and efficiently at all times and are available 24/7 every day of the year.My trust in them has always been rewarded with success and them exceeding all expectations!
Shawsheen Air has been providing HVAC services to several of our key tenants for the past seven years. All of their office and field personnel have been a pleasure to work with. I continuously get positive feedback from our tenants for the responsiveness, knowledge and professionalism they exhibit. I would recommend Shawsheen to anyone that needs their mission critical HVAC equipment maintained or replaced in a timely and efficient manner.
SAS, Inc. has provided exceptional service to our extensive office portfolio through various stages of new installations, repairs or trouble shooting mechanical abnormalities. Over the last 20 years they have continuously aligned with our project goals, provided professionalism and attention to detail, and completed the job with little assistance from us.I would recommend SAS, Inc. without hesitation; they have extensive experience in cooling towers, air handlers, and full heating system replacements. Our portfolio consists of nearly 500,000 SQFT and SAS, Inc. as kept us sufficiently modernized within a reasonable budget to maximize on the energy efficiencies needed in today's competitive cost environment.


Surfer riding under the ocean's surface. While shooting for an artistic project, I wanted to include some surfing shots. Unfortunately it was the wrong period for waves, but I really needed the surfing shot to complete my project. So I came up with a new idea: photograph the surfer from underwater upsidedown, while acting to ride his board! It has been a real challenge, and it took more than 2 hours of tryies and houndreds of shots before I've got the right one.

About TAKE A BOW, NOAH MITCHELL
Seventeen-year-old gaymer Noah Mitchell only has one friend left: the wonderful, funny, strictly online-only MagePants69. After years playing RPGs together, they know everything about each other, except anything that would give away their real life identities. And Noah is certain that if they could just meet in person, they would be soulmates. Noah would do anything to make this happen—including finally leaving his gaming chair to join a community theater show that he's only mostly sure MagePants69 is performing in. Noah has never done anything like theater—he can't sing, he can't dance, and he's never willingly watched a musical—but he'll have to go all in to have a chance at love.
With Noah's mum performing in the lead role, and former friends waiting in the wings to sabotage his reputation, his plan to make MagePants69 fall in love with him might be a little more difficult than originally anticipated.
And the longer Noah waits to come clean, the more tangled his web of lies becomes. By opening night, he will have to decide if telling the truth is worth closing the curtain on his one shot at true love.

Three Charlotte galleries are featuring works by UNC Charlotte art faculty this fall. Thomas Schmidt, assistant professor of interdisciplinary 3D art, is showing work at Hodges Taylor Gallery; Andrew Leventis, assistant professor of painting, is featured at Sozo Gallery; and retired professor Susan Brenner is in exhibition at Elder Gallery.
The Hodges Taylor exhibition, MAKE/SHIFT, presents work by Schmidt and Penland-based artist Rachel Meginnis through November 30. Schmidt's new body of work continues to explore the intersections of digital and traditional "by hand" fabrication, creating beautiful forms with ceramics and materials such as wood, paper, and plant life.
Leventis's new series, Mise-en-Scene, is on view at Sozo Gallery through the end of October. Leventis observes disregarded moments in film, pauses the scene, records the frozen image with his camera, and then uses the resultant photographs to create his extraordinary oil paintings.
Brenner's paintings at Elder Gallery represent work from 1999-2007 and are presented with paintings by Chase Langford in the exhibition, Evolution, through October 27.
