It's difficult for me to head to a gig without a TS-style overdrive. There's just something about knowing I have that midrange bump in my arsenal. Epigaze's entry into the Screamer/Bluesbreaker field, the Civic Crown, cops more than enough of the most sought-after frequencies that made those storied designs so ubiquitous. Along with a 3-band EQ, drive, and level controls, there are also two internal DIP switches that add a bass boost and increased headroom.
Since guitar is such a midrange-focused instrument, the addition of the +/-15 dB mid control has convinced me that the standard 3-knob OD layout is outdated. My T-style Schroeder, which is particularly bright, matched up with the Civic quite nicely as I tried to cop some of Brad Paisley's mid-gain lead tones. The gain control was able to go from subtle, almost-clean boost to a thick, barking crunch—quite impressive. On the low end, the bass response was tight without getting flappy even at the max levels.
The one slight in the EQ section was the treble control, which I found to be somewhat harsh at even medium levels. Even on the Les Paul, I found myself turning the control well below noon. So if your guitar tends to be on the bright side, the treble dial will require some extra attention. At $200, the Civic Crown hits the upper end of the TS market, but for a versatile handwired pedal, it definitely hits the mark for low-to-mid-gain stomps.
Powerful EQ section. Tight bass response.
Treble can get spiky. Midrange bark needs some extra attention.

A dramatic approach
for a global brand
When PerkinElmer wanted to get the word out, we created an emotional campaign to draw the world in.
PerkinElmer is a global leader in health and environmental testing, yet research revealed an opportunity to bring more meaning to their brand and more context to their tagline "For the Better". Customers wanted to know what PerkinElmer is doing for the better and where they're doing it. KHJ saw the possibilities in bringing their stories to life in a dramatic fashion.
We recommended a series of biopic videos designed to show what PerkinElmer is doing around the world "For the Better". Our videos combined tension with inspiration to create an emotional viewing experience and connection to the brand. Strict attention was paid to casting and production design to recreate the international communities served by PerkinElmer. Videos were translated for foreign markets and viewed online and at international sales conferences to the delight of both sales reps and customers. And that's all for the better.
"This was more than brand building; this was doing justice to the amazing things PerkinElmer is doing around the world."

Apple's iOS push could change healthcare data sharing, still won't kill the fax
Feb 6, 2018 | News
Apple may have finally found a way to enable the large-scale sharing of electronic medical record information on mobile devices. But its tools won't replace the old tried-and-true fax for data-sharing in healthcare.
By Lucas Mearian
Apple's Health Records feature in the upcoming iOS 11.3 rollout may be the most high-profile attempt at sharing healthcare data between caregiver and patient, but it won't succeed without industry's cooperation.
What is new is the mass market Apple commands with its iPhone and iPad and the company's efforts to take advantage of new industry standards and collaborative alliances for aggregating and sharing patient data from disparate healthcare systems.
Even with all the electrification of healthcare data and advances in networks for sharing that data, however, one industry stalwart is unlikely to be replaced: the fax.
Virtually all healthcare organizations continue to use the facsimile, even as the industry has been forced to adopt modern electronic medical records (EMRs) and online data-sharing methods. The fax protocol is used to transmit laboratory reports, send prescriptions and authorizations and transmit payment information between hospitals and insurance companies.
The reason the fax isn't going away anytime soon is that it's simply too well ingrained in back office systems. "People use it as lowest common denominator. You could call it the great unifier in letting all these disparate systems talk to each other," said Bill Ho, CEO of Biscom. "And, healthcare is … a little bit conservative when it comes to adoption of new technology."
In 1980, Biscom launched the fax server industry, turning what was previously all paper-based fax machine systems into electronic file sharing. Even today, many of Biscom's healthcare customers send tens of thousands of faxes per month.
For example, the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance sends and receives an average of 10,000 faxes every month, and Massachusetts General Hospital sends 25,000 to 30,000 faxes per year using Biscom's service.
And all EMR systems have a fax tool embedded in them, or at the very least a computer system's "print" command allows for a fax option.
"People have this image in their head of someone standing in front of a fax machine and sticking paper in to it. Today it's all digital. Most faxes never hit paper," Ho said.
Eventually, as Apple envisions, a new electronic document system will prevail. But it's going to be a very slow changeover, according to Ho, whose company does offer other forms of electronic file exhange.
"Healthcare is a large, complex, multi-faceted system, and I don't think we're going to see rapid disruption," Ho said.
The fax isn't used to communicate between healthcare providers and patients; for that, Apple's Health Record tool may finally usher in a new age of data sharing. But it's not close to being the first to try.
Past efforts by even big-name vendors are not well known because they didn't get very far, according to Mutaz Shegewi, IDC's research director for healthcare provider IT transformation strategy.
Part of the problem is many of the previous EMR data exchange efforts relied on the patient to populate the app.
Patient portals and personal health record (PHR) technology, such as Microsoft's HealthVault, Google's Health service, Allscripts's FollowMyHealth, WebMD's NoMoreClipboard and Zweena's Health Record, have attempted to persuade the healthcare and its customers that patient data could be shared on consumer devices.
"PHRs relied on the user to build it. That's where it was limited in its usefulness," Shegewi said.
Apple's new Health Records feature uses the existing Health app (released in 2014 for iOS 8) to enable medical facilities to connect via an API to their EMR systems to share data between providers and patients.
The HITECH Act of 2009 required healthcare facilities to implement EMRs. EMR data sharing between disparate vendor platforms, geographically dispersed facilities and unassociated medical institutions, however, flatlined for years. Healthcare Information Exchanges (HIEs), which enabled data sharing, remained at a standstill mostly because of industry pushback, much of it from EMR vendors themselves.
Each EMR vendor had its own proprietary data formats, so sharing information was difficult at best with healthcare facilities that relied on systems from a different vendor.
In the past several years, however, the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) interface, a draft set of standards, has been made available for every major EHR. It will enable the aggregation of EHR and other data from disparate facilities.
Apple's Health Record app is expected to take advantage of FHIR for its EHR data aggregation, as well.
Additionally, recent EMR vendor collaborative alliances are also helping in the effort. Two of the more successful interoperability frameworks are the CommonWell Health Allliance and Carequality, which has been adopted by two dozen vendors.
"They're essentially saying we're committing to more open health information exchange," Shegewi said. "I'm thinking the Apple Health Record will probably be syncing up with something along those lines or some form of direct health information exchange."
By 2020, one in four patients expects to be participating in a "BYOD" – bring your own data – healthcare scenario, according to research by IDC.
"You can appreciate this with all the wearables, trackers and mobile applications that allow you to notate and document things like nutrition, fitness and calories burned. That information is rich and important to have for [healthcare] providers as long as there's integrity around that data," Shegewi said. "The fact is, doctors don't know what happening with you once you leave their office."
Adoption, however, will be key to Apple's success. At its launch last month, the new Health Record feature was available to the patients of 12 hospital systems via the iOS 11.3 beta, according to Apple.
"In the coming months, more medical facilities will connect to Health Records offering their patients access to this feature," Apple said in its announcement.
Then there's security. Healthcare information is the most sensitive data on the black market today.
In the past, consumers have voiced fear about something as personal as a medical record being introduced in electronic form. Healthcare information is arguably the most sensitive data there is because once it's disclosed, it can be used by cyber criminals for nefarious purposes for a lifetime.
A 2016 study by the Brookings Institute showed that since late 2009, the medical information of more than 155 million Americans has been exposed without their permission through about 1,500 breaches.
Ensuring patient data is made available in a read-only format and that none of it is actually stored on Apple's cloud servers, is a good start, according to John Halamka, CIO at CareGroup Healthcare System and CIO and associate dean for educational technology at Harvard Medical School.
"All data will be encrypted and biometrically secured (fingerprint or facial recognition) on your phone," Halamka said. "Patients would decide what data to share with what apps."
Shegewi agreed, saying features such as fingerprint and facial recognition go a long way toward ensuring data cannot be stolen from a physical device.
"If for some odd reason I decide to take a screen shot of my information, that can be stored anywhere. Those places may not be as secure," Shegewi said. "Or, if I email it off and it's intercepted by some means, those are more of my concerns.
"There has to be a way to find a balance between having patient access and producing good level of security."

I believe I am suffering from early signs of a SH. I have had an MRI and some PT's give their opinion. I am looking for a SH specialist in AZ or Bay Area. All the threads I read seem to be focused on docs in the East or Europe. Anyone know of a good west coast doctor?
I didn't have my nerve removed and wonder if I should have. My understanding is the nerves does grow back pretty quickly (mm per day) and so within a couple of months they would be back in the zone to cause discomfort (if indeed that is the cause of the problem)I need to question my surgeon in more detail but I remember him saying he didn't remove nerves as they can grow back 'funny' and in his experience there is remembered pain (ie leg hurting after being amputated) At the time I thought that sounded like rubbish but after rems comments I am not too sure now.
Okay, it seems as though this thread has become completely unstable and unreliable in regards to being operational. I've contacted the owners, wejo and rojo, as far back as a year ago about how this thread often goes down and locks up for weeks at a time. It was explained to me that they purposefully shut it down to free up bandwidth for 'more important' threads. I know others have contacted them as well, but our concerns to keep this IMPORTANT thread up and running seem to be falling on deaf ears (sorry brojos, but I have to call it like I see it).
The other sports hernia thread "sports hernia/athletic pubalgia" seems to be working properly and has not been affected by this selective shutdown. I strongly suggest that people start posting there, either in addition to here or, as a substitute.
I will keep posting and helping and sharing about my experiences with my SH, but at both sites now.
also on the west coast, Dr. Kevin Pedersen in Las Vegas.
Having surgery with Meyers this Wed. In search of physical therapist familiar with SH repair in Washington, DC or Rockville, MD area to assist with rehab.
I'd like to talk to you about your experience with Dr. Petersen. I was diagnosed with an incipient hernia before I saw Dr. UM and even had a consultation with Dr. P for a planned surgery if the Munich trip was not productive. Is there a way to contact you?
You might want to search around and see if you can find a PT or a chiro who works with any local sports teams, ideally hockey or soccer. They might have some more experience than someone who has no experience with an SH.
What is the ball park figure of your surgery? Will you be able to drive afterwards? Otherwise wondering how to get around.
This is the price he quoted me back in February 2009. I'm sure Mike can tell us if his price has gone up or not.
FYI: Shouldice Hospital is approx. $3600 and Muschaweck is approx 4600 Euros.
I stumbled across this site as I was scanning for a Dr. in Tampa FL area that I could see regarding what I suspect is a Sports Hernia. Does anyone here know of a Tampa area Dr. that either specializes or just understands about this injury? I have only had the injury about a month or so. I have not run in the past 10 days trying to rest it and see if any change. Not much really, and everything I read tells me that surgery may be the only sure way to fix it. Not my preference, but I want to RUN, and this is the first time a my entire career I am struggling. I'll do whats necessary to get this done, so I just want to find a Tampa FL Doctor I can trust with it. Anyone?
I'm not familiar with any well-known SH doctors in Tampa, but I'm sure you can call around to find out. My suggestion, and yes...I know it is quite a drive, but if you want an expert that has experience with SH's, go to Atlanta and see Dr. Hoadley. His name has been mentioned before on this thread. Best of luck...and if you are thinking of resting and rehabbing this on your own, it will take way longer than 10 days - more like many months.
PS: the one thing I will tell you to keep in mind is the mesh vs non-mesh repair approach. do you want something put in your body or not? do your research and read about the pros and cons of mesh-type repairs.
It still hurts! There is something not right!
and another pure-tissue repair hernia specialist.
job as the binder for the incised tissue.
her to address the problems you are experiencing.
live with the outcome, not the surgeon.
I'm one year out next week and in the exact same boat.
I'm sorry to hear that you are having to deal with the same ill-fated results from Dr. UM's procedure. Since you are coming up on one year also, perhaps you could give us a detailed report on what the problems are.
I feel if more people know about the complications and the types of responses patients are getting from their surgeons, this will allow future SH surgery candidates to make some wiser choices on who to go to.
As I alluded to in my lengthy post, if someone had told me prior to going to Germany that I was going to be told what I was told from the surgeon, I, more than likely, would have chosen someone else.
Here's to getting better...for both of us!
I can say that I have had no problem what soever after the surgery and consider myself cured for life. I think my workout-regim is the key to me feeling so good right know.
I posted after my surgery and haven't been back on because it didn't post right away. Dr. Petersen charged me $6k for surgery on both sides. I have 2 four inch incisions at my belt line. I feel great. There is some numbness below the incisions and there is some discomfort when I wear pants that are tight at the beltline. I have been told that this will get better. It already has slightly, but is still like pins and needles right now. Otherwise, I have been fast walking 3-4 miles a day. I am cleared to start running and light weight lifting next week.
Dr. Petersen and his staff are awesome. I honestly can't recommend them enough. Very professional, very thorough and for the first time in a year I am pain free.
Just kidding with the video!
I was only kidding with that video of course. I think we need some humour in this situation. I am so jealous at that moron to be able to do those exercises.
Fuerza, thank you for your valid post! However in an forum you gave an american guy the advise to go to Germany and operate his SH and that post you posted the 20/2 just two days before you posted that you would have chosen someone else?
I am really not trying to be rude or anything beacause I understand you and how frustrating this injurie is but what made you change your mind in just two days?
I think you, Rem,, Monchi and Johnny the kayaker is the guys on this board with the most knowledge about this injurie and it is so hard do know what to do. You made a really valid point about calculating for the case of maybe needing to go back to Germany for more tests, operations when deciding to go their in the first place. Many of us I think is young guys who haven´t yet starting to make good money which mahe the financial situation really tough.
When you say that you have talked to more than a dozen people that have not getting cured by Muschaweck can you give alittle bit more info on what seems to be the problem in those cases? Is it for example that they have still adductor pain since she doesn´t adress the adductors or is it many that have the same problems that you have or is it someother problem like nerverelated or something? Would be really interseting to see a compilation of the data/info you have gotten from more than a dozen people beacause that is a large group.
And also alittle bit of what seems to be the common factor before the surgeries of those dozen people who hav not been cured. For example are they all soccerplayers did they all have this injurie for an unusual long time (like more then 2-3 years before surgery) and stuff like that.
On the other hand I think Mike in Vail was the perfect candidate for surgery with muschaweck since he only had have the injuries for a short time, it was a localized injurie an he seemd not so competitive in nature so I am sure he took it easy in the beginning.
Once again I will say that I fully understand your situation since I am in the same situation myself but I am not operated on yet thats the only diffrence. I can still function so well that I can keep my job but it is not fun at all and I don´t know how much longer I can take it. But going to Germany for surgery and maybe get worse so I can´t work and make money and then have to beg family and friends of money to be able to go back to Germany would be an absolut disaster. To be totally broke, not be able to make new money and to have seroius pain scares the hell out of me.
I am also really interesting to hear Rem:s current situation and symptoms since he seems to be a smart guy who do the right things it woulb be nice to see if he is doing any progress and exactly what is his worst symptoms now.
I spell like a 9 year old but don´t mind that.
1) Last time I was on these boards was in November. I just recently got insurance again--oh this crappy economy--and need to address this sports hernia. With that said, I was wondering what peoples recent experience was with insurance paying for this injury. Back in Novemeber, it looked dim. If any luck then with what doctor. BTW, my insurance doesn't cover out of country visits...except for emergencies.
2)Mike in Denver, does Dr.Peterson use mesh?
3) Have a visit with Dr.UM in NJ this upcoming week, but apparently she can't take her ultrasound equip. on the plane this time around. Damn underwear-bomer...screwing everything up.
4)Anyone ever heard of Dan Patrick. Apparently he recently had sports hernia surgery recently. Anyone know with what doctor?

Small as a flea, oysters go looking for calcium, and find A.R.C.'s cultch

Doreen Leggett
In a greenhouse off a long, sandy road in Dennis, concrete pools are filled every spring to offer millions and millions of oysters a swim.
Before the budding bivalves took the plunge this year, about 4,000 mesh bags of mostly sea clam shells, originally from a processing facility in New Bedford, were placed inside two of the empty pools at A.R.C Hatchery.
"After we put the bags of shell in the tanks, we fill the tanks full of seawater and algae – food for the baby oysters. The oyster larvae permanently attach themselves to the shell (called setting) inside the bags," said Rick Sawyer, president of the hatchery. "It is quite a process."
The baby oysters spawn inside the hatchery, which got its start growing clams in the 1960s and now spawns, grows and sells a variety of shellfish. Once they get big enough, no bigger than a flea, the oysters are released into the tanks and go right for the shells, or cultch.
"Calcium carbonate is really what the oysters are looking for," said Ashley Fisher, Mashpee's Director of Natural Resources.
The baby oysters set on the shells to begin their journey to adulthood, but about two weeks into it they are transported into the wild.
Mashpee has been participating in A.R.C's remote set program since 2004. Fisher said they first got involved to help clean up the Mashpee River; oysters filter a lot of water – up to 50 gallons a day. Sometimes the town takes up to 2,000 bags (that's about 20 million oysters).
The remote set program, so named because the oysters "set" at A.R.C and then are brought to communities across the Cape and beyond, is one of many ways the hatchery – renovated in 2015 – helps power the blue economy.
"A.R.C is the largest producer of shellfish seed in New England and a unique resource in the region, able to provide shells that have baby oysters growing on them. This helps jumpstart oyster beds and other restoration projects, which provide important seashore erosion control against storms and wave action, as well as cleaning the water," said Melissa Sanderson, chief operating officer of the Cape Cod Commercial Fishermen's Alliance, an investor in A.R.C.
There were no oysters in the Mashpee River when they started the remote set program and the filter feeders went to work, removing nitrogen, eating algae and slowly pushing up the oxygen levels.
"The Mashpee River is still pretty degraded, but we haven't seen fish kills since we put them in," Fisher said.
Staff from Mashpee were among representatives from towns across the Cape -- Barnstable, Chatham, Dennis, Eastham, Truro and Yarmouth – and even Rhode Island that descended on A.R.C one day in June to pick up their oyster bounty.
Mashpee, which took the most bags, sent down D.P.W trucks to load and drove the oysters right to the river to put on boats and take out to the drop spot.
"It is a very big day for us," said Fisher.
Chatham does much the same thing.
"We put them down at Mill Creek," said Chatham Shellfish Constable Renee Gagne. "We make a little assembly line, fill up two Jon boats and we walk them out and keep them in the bags. We put them in cages, cover them and buoy them off to make sure no one takes a boat and hits them."
The shells' on-Cape journey actually started more than a year earlier. While the landscape industry has pretty much cornered the market on clean shells, cultch for the Cape gets trucked to the transfer station in Dennis and set out behind the landfill. Fisher says Dennis staff nicely turns them over so the remaining meat gets baked off of them.
"They have to be out and toasting for at least six months before you put them back in the water," Gagne said, to avoid any possible organic contamination.
Early in June towns show up and put the shells into however many bags they need.
"It's a community event," said Sawyer.
"This year was especially interesting because of social distancing," said Gagne.
The bulk of the oysters support various recreational shellfish programs.
In Chatham, once the oysters get big enough they are taken out of the bags and moved to a spot where the town creates a bank of oysters people can harvest. Hopefully they'll spawn and help the wild population as well.
"We have really nice product. They look beautiful," Gagne said. "Anything you can put in the water to help recruitment is a good thing … and it is just another opportunity for people to experience oyster harvest."
Fisher said that until oysters from A.R.C arrived there were none in Mashpee and even now there are no wild oysters. Townspeople love when the larger oysters are moved to the recreational areas for harvest come November 1, she added:
"They get really excited about it."

A 22-year-old woman is in Howard County police custody following an ugly altercation last week at the Columbia Mall.
In a video circulated online by police this week, the alleged perpetrator, Ahleyah Marie Rockwell, appears to grab a woman by the hair and drag her to the floor. Police say the woman, a 69-year-old mall employee, was trying to stop Rockwell after she allegedly reached into a register at the carousel booth and stole cash. Rockwell is also accused of shoving an employee manning the register, as well as a witness who tried to intervene. She fled the premises through the food court, police said.
Police said Rockwell also bit the 69-year-old mall employee. The woman was treated for minor injuries at a local hospital.
With tips and leads, Howard County authorities were able to identify Rockwell as the pictured suspect. She's since been detained and charged with robbery, theft of less than $1,000 and three counts of second-degree assault, according to court records.
An attorney wasn't listed under her name. Rockwell was previously charged with burglary, theft, disorderly conduct, assault and identity fraud in five other incidents; prosecutors dropped the charges in exchange for pleas in each case.
Rockwell's court date is set for Sept. 1.


The title of this article is a popular search term for people who find this website. Since you may have been searching for this exact topic I decided to give you a brief crash course on how to get clients as a lawyer. Keep in mind this is simplistic and brief (given the fact that this is an article on a blog and not a course in marketing). But my desire is to give you're a few actionable steps that will help you find your way in the world of law firm marketing.
One of the most important points I make when people ask me how to find clients as a lawyer is to help them face reality. By that I mean that nobody cares about your background or your experience or your fancy office until they know that you can solve their problem. That is a huge lesson for many attorneys.
Most lawyers will lead a business development conversation with their qualifications and their background and that is certain to turn any client or prospective client off. Instead, you should take a consultative approach and understand the needs and the desires of the client. This will not only help you build a relationship with him, it will also help you tailor your approach when it comes time to offer your services.
That is the initial advice I offer lawyers when they want to know how to get clients in a one-on-one setting. Getting clients to the point where they are in your office and ready to sign up means you must attract many prospective clients who need your services. That requires skill at law firm marketing.
In this video I share a few ideas on how you can attract those prospective clients.
Here is an outline of the three steps I share in the video.
Pick a Niche for Your Law Firm Marketing: Marketing to everyone is a disaster. You do not have the time and financial resources to launch a law firm marketing campaign to everyone who could possibly need your services. You must pick an area of focus even if it is just for law firm marketing purposes. This will help you tailor our message to a specific group.
Differentiate Your Law Firm from All the Others: Your law firm marketing must answer this question: Why should someone hire you instead of everyone else? The answer should be something that is difficult for other firms to replicate. And the answer should never, ever focus on your fees. Being a low fee lawyer is the quickest way to become a broke lawyer.
Educate Prospective Clients: There are two key points to educational marketing: First you want to educate your clients on why they need to solve their problem now and second you need to educate your prospective clients on how to choose the correct lawyer to solve their problem.
Notice I did not mention the need to give your background information anywhere. Notice I did not mention the need to boast about your impressive record. Notice that everything I shared with you is focused on the client and his needs.

Home | Become a FUNda Leader | Meet our FUNda Leaders | Gareth Ciki
You have chosen to join a wave of passionate and powerful people across the country, standing up to do your part in ensuring that all of South Africa's children are given a better chance to succeed through the power of stories and reading.
Gareth Ciki
Our next FUNda Leader is a young man named Gareth Ciki, from the Eastern Cape. He wrote to us with his astounding story of hope and determination:
"My name is Gareth and I'm a 26-year-old male. I was born in Pearston, a small town in the karoo which seemed to be much neglected for as long as I can remember. Until recently…
I started my education at Sinethemba Creche in the early 90's where I learned in IsiXhosa in Khanyiso location, in Pearston. I proceeded to Pearston Primary School, which is an Afrikaans school in 1997, and I completed my primary education in there in 2003. Being raised by my mother and her family, who lived on a farm called Redcliff a few kilometres outside Pearston, I did not have much of a choice but had to attend another public school, Pearston Secondary School - the only high school in Pearston to this date. Having the privilege of having built my educational foundation on IsiXhosa and Afrikaans, Pearston Secondary school was a melting-pot of different cultured for me - where the IsiXhosa and Afrikaans interacted and engaged in both languages!
I completed my matric successfully in 2008 at Pearston Secondary School. Not having informed myself well of the opportunities for the "under privileged" l did not study at a University or any college. However, only later in my life understood that life itself teaches all the lessons which one can learn from if you are adaptable, flexible and open to learning.
I am currently based in Pearston, working as a Projects Co-ordinator at Sophakama Community Partnership, a community organisation. Through my work I discovered my strengths and interests. I co-ordinate between a number of educational and community projects. One of the programmes I initiated at Sophakama is the Active Citizens, which is a voluntary programme for youth and adults who wish to make a positive change in their lives and their communities. I have also loved writing since I was a boy. I remember I used to write lyrics and rhymes, and even composed rap music with my friends at the age of 14 years. I stopped doing rap music but I have never stopped writing. I love writing, whether it's for reports, proposals or newsletters - I just love it! I am also considering starting a local magazine in my community to record all the positive powerful stories. I want to create societal change with my words - to change how we think, speak and feel about certain things.
Recently, a colleague gave me the idea of starting a library at the workplace... and kaboom! Right at that moment, I got an answer to the question I have been asking myself: "How can I be a FUNda Leader?"
So I made it a task to collect unused Nal'ibali supplements from schools wand started a little storybook-making project involving some of our active citizens at work. So far we have made 378 story books from the Nal'ibali supplements and are looking forward to making more! These cut-out-and-keep books are being made for a library for children, parents and staff at Sophakama, and will also be used by reading clubs formed by newly trained FUNda Leaders. Our library will also be operational during our December holiday programme for children. It's so inspiring that our practitioners and volunteers will be part of the holiday programme, sharing and listening to beautiful stories in their mother tongues.
I believe that reading for yourself and others can spark curiosity and send your mind travelling the world while being in one place. The mind is the one thing a person has which can truly liberate us from all poverties.
The FUNda leader training Nal'ibali conducted in Pearston was so helpful to me in building a reading for enjoyment network. Now we can reach more people, especially children! From my experience, literacy in schools has been a huge problem, hence Sophakama is currently intervening in schools with our WordWorks - a literacy programme, designed for Grade R and 1.
There are so many experiences that let me down this exceptional road. I remember that one of my favourite stories was 'The three piglets and the wolf'. Looking back at this story, I realise now why I loved it so much. The wolf wanted to blow down the third piglet's house but could not... I think that there there always seems to be something in life chasing or distressing us. But by being observant, as well as listening and understanding, we can all become better people - regardless of where we come from or what life throws at us.
It is within each of us to create something great... "

I haven't called any method. I just want it to be able to load the library without problems. Please help me solve this.

A: Move your precompiled libpcap to the JNI folder. If you are targetting multiple architectures you need to create multiple folders within your JNI corresponding to each architecture(armeabi,x86 etc) and place the .so files accordingly. Modify your manifest file like below to include your prebuilt shared library
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)

include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE    := libpcap
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := libpcap.so
include $(PREBUILT_SHARED_LIBRARY)

include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE    := projectname
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := projectname.cpp
include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)

projectname corresponds to the module of libpcap and projectname.cpp corresponds to the actual source file

"Offers a uniquely beautiful take on the traditional wuxia film."
The talented veteran Taiwanese filmmaker Hou Hsiao-Hsien ("Three Times"/"Flowers of Shanghai"/"The Puppetmaster") is writer-director, who sets this mythical confrontational martial-arts adventure story in 9th-century China and makes it into a meditation on beauty. Hou tells it through stunning visuals and in his usual offbeat way of storytelling. Those expecting plenty of action might be disappointed that the action, terrifically choreographed in spurts, takes a back seat to the provocative narrative about finding peace within and messaging that the most humane path to follow is a nonviolent one. It is stylishly executed and offers a uniquely beautiful take on the traditional wuxia film.
The esteemed director won the award for Best Director at the recent Cannes Festival. Although a simple story, it was somewhat hard to fully keep track of the narrative because of all the scheming. Shu Qi, as the assassin, offers a compelling opaque performance, where the action figure must constantly wrestle with her emotions to have compassion for people.
It opens with a prologue shot in black-and-white. An assassin,Yinniang (Shu Qi), after 13 years in exile, has been assigned to kill a corrupt governor (Chen Chang) in her hometown of Weibo. She was once betrothed to him. Yinniang decides not to when she sees him doting on his sleeping son and is unable to take the life of such a loving father.
The film is then shot in color. We learn that the young hit-woman, Yinniang, with a big heart, was in her childhood abducted by a decorated general and trained by a princess-nun Jiaxin (Sheu Fang-yi) in the martial arts to assassinate corrupt officials. On her return to her Weibo island birthplace, she confronts her parents, her past and her repressed feelings.
We learn of the uneasy relations between the Imperial Court and the Weibo province. As for Yinniang, by disobeying her kill order she has chosen to break away from her captors.
The richly textured slow-paced art film is a different kind of martial arts film, one that can be appreciated by the thoughtful viewer.

Bennyroyce Royon, current artistic director of Evergreen City Ballet in Renton, directing a dancer with Ballet Hispánico in 2019. (Laura Fuchs)
Like an undeterred Santa, Evergreen City Ballet's artistic director, Bennyroyce Royon, wanted to give the kids a Nutcracker — even during a pandemic. The holiday tradition is a mainstay for ballet companies everywhere, but packing in an audience to watch dancing sugarplums wasn't going to happen at the Renton-based ballet school this year.
So Royon pivoted. In under two months, he put together an ambitious production and launched the company's first ever documentary dance film. Nutcracker Suites invites viewers inside the 25-year-old organization for a behind-the-scenes look that features archival footage of past ECB Nutcracker performances, interviews with young dancers and video of new performances, all conducted under COVID-19 guidelines.
Royon's determination is a fundamental lesson for ECB students, who on camera reveal that they're learning more than pliés and tendus. In one scene, just before we see Mother Ginger's Polichinelles pop out (wearing a new addition to their costumes: face masks) from under her ruffled crinoline hoop skirt, the film cuts to a young ballerina talking about her experience.
"It's fun working with Mr. Benny because he pushes, and yet he's really nice and kind to us," she says. "I keep myself going by thinking about positive things like 'I can do it and am able to push myself … to do more.' "
Nutcracker Suites (streaming Dec. 18-20 and Dec. 25-27) is a testament to the commitment Royon has for the company that, he says, gave him everything.
Originally from the Philippines, Royon immigrated to Auburn with his family when he was 12 years old. While studying at Auburn High School, he saw an ECB ad offering scholarships for young dancers. At age 16, with no previous ballet experience, he applied and attended his first ballet class wearing a T-shirt, stretchy pants and socks. Under the mentorship of Wade Walthall, Royon blossomed into his role as a dancer.
After graduating in 2006 from the prestigious Juilliard School with a bachelor's of fine arts in dance, Royon went on to perform in productions with The Metropolitan Opera, including Madama Butterfly, Turandot and The First Emperor, and on Broadway in The King and I. After working with prominent choreographers, including Sidra Bell, Carolyn Dorfman and Karole Armitage, in 2010 Royon founded his own company, through which he has choreographed pieces for Ballet Hispánico and Atlanta Ballet.
Now 37, Royon is completing his first year as artistic director of the organization that gave him his first love of dance. "To me it's work and it's a way of life," he says. "It's my purpose."
Crosscut spoke with Royon about Nutcracker Suites, Filipino Christmases and the life lessons that can be learned through dance.

What was it about dance that helped you discover yourself?
Finding Evergreen City Ballet, and meeting our founding artistic director, Wade Walthall, my first ballet teacher — talk about a guy who you should look up to. Wade has danced amongst the greats. He danced in the age of Balanchine and Nureyev. He started late like me. He's inspired me. He lives and breathes and sweats dance. All the life lessons and conversations and times spent with him in the studio, I've used all of that not just as a dancer, but as a human being. It takes a lot of sacrifice and dedication, passion, consistency and resilience to achieve a professional career in dance.
Do you remember the first time you saw The Nutcracker?
One of my first experiences of film — believe it or not — was The Nutcracker, the movie that Pacific Northwest Ballet made [in 1986]. I saw that as a young kid — this is just now surfacing in my memory. I don't remember how old I was, but Mr. Wade is in it. Funny enough, only after I left Evergreen City Ballet, was it brought to my attention that he played the Prince. I was dumbfounded.
Have you performed in The Nutcracker in a professional capacity?
All my Nutcracker experience has been pre-professional, at ECB. When I was starting out, I wanted to do "Flowers" ["Waltz of the Flowers"] and "Snow" ["Waltz of the Snowflakes"] so bad. One rehearsal Wade finally said, "Fine." I remember floating and flying through space, running around with the girls, weaving in and out. But what you saw [were] young artists given an opportunity to plug in and connect to the idea of excellence, of doing their best where they are at. That's what Wade was really good at.
You brought some Filipino traditions to this Nutcracker. How does your Nutcracker differ from the version most commonly produced?
There hasn't been really huge changes, but the mere fact that I'm introducing an element from my culture is already big. For example, I introduce the parol, the traditional Filipino lantern that represents the Christmas holiday spirit in the Philippines. Aleksa Manila, a Filipino American Seattle drag performer, is reprising her role as Mother Ginger. These are small gestures of inclusivity. I look forward to expanding my choices when we have more time.
Is there a Filipino dance tradition or style you think could be incorporated?
That's something I'm kind of meditating on: What is a folk dance I could include in my own version of The Nutcracker? Tinikling is a dance with bamboo. It's very rhythmic, and it has Spanish influence in terms of the music. Another one called Maglalatik is a war dance using coconuts. The third one that's good to know is Pandanggo Sa Ilaw. It really shows you what parts of our culture were heavily influenced by the Spaniards. I'm working on educating myself more on the indigenous sides of our dances. It's difficult because [with] colonization a lot of indigenous things disappear into the background. But there's a lot of younger generations now in the Philippines that are nursing them.
What should people know about Filipino Christmases?
Do you come from a big family? Imagine that times a hundred. And when do you decorate? We started in September. You have to go [to the Philippines] to understand how obsessed they are with Christmas.
How do your artistic director skills translate to making a documentary?
Initially, it was overwhelming. [But] there's just something about who I am. I just go for things. That comes with the way dance has taught me to keep trying, failure as part of the process. I've dabbled in dance film before, creating little music videos for my company in New York. So I'm familiar with it, but I had to learn. I had to think about how all these are interacting: the interviews, the archival footage, the recorded footage recorded this year. The focus was to tell our story in a new way.
Do you have any other experience with dance film?
In 2005, I was working for Mikhail Baryshnikov's inaugural residency. He introduced the group of dancers to a film by DV8, called The Cost of Living. I fell in love. I was like, "Oh my gosh, we can actually enjoy dance on film." I'm kind of an oldie. I like the traditional in-person in-theater experience. But there's something about dance films that's intriguing to me.
What are some of the creative opportunities that have come with the shift?
We're collaborating in new ways, and to be able to do that in this environment is an accomplishment in itself. For example, Bellevue Youth Symphony Orchestra. Typically in-person collaborations between music and dance are the go-to. But we had to find a new way to do this together. So there's a section in the film with a virtual orchestra pit [similar to a Zoom call] to accompany the "Waltz of the Flowers."
Your choreography extends well beyond The Nutcracker. How would you describe your dance style?
When I immigrated here, it was a huge culture shock. I had to adapt and assimilate and embrace the American culture. My early years, I gravitated to the classic, European aesthetic ballet. As I grew older, I started to realize that my first connection to movement wasn't really ballet; my first was through Filipino folk dances. So my early years of choreographing were more contemporary ballet and modern, but where I am now, I'm really dissecting and integrating my culture back into my process. I would say my range would be from neoclassical, contemporary ballet, all the way to modern and avant-garde.
Tell me about your piece Land, Lost, Found, which premiered in October 2019 in New York City.
Land, Lost, Found was built out of that desire to root myself and find my beginnings. At that time, I was really sensitive to the social, economic, racial conversations [around] diversity and people of color. As I decolonize my experience, it dawned on me that I have to represent myself in my work. First of all, the three words "land, lost, found." Unless you're Native American, this doesn't belong to you. I started meditating on what land means to me. Land as home, land as fertile ground. Lost: last year I felt lost. I felt like a lot of people were lost. And "found" is this future idea. We have to question our identity, reroute and find common ground. At the core of it was trying to make sense of the ever evolving spiritual and political landscape we live in.
You're finishing your first year as artistic director. How did the pandemic impact your plans for ECB?
I believe that if we survive [this], there's nothing we can't do as an organization. That's why I don't have any reservations of why I am doing [Nutcracker Suites]. We're doing this out of necessity. We need this. The kids need this, families need this.
What do you hope the students take away from this production? And the audience?
That we can't take things for granted. It's all about the moment. And this is the moment we're in now. We're all trying our best at being compassionate to ourselves. Dance and ballet is such a hard place to learn because it is so demanding. That is why it is very important to still give [the students] some sort of semblance of structure. They've been emotionally, physically, spiritually stopped and displaced. What I'm telling them is stay lifted, keep your bodies moving, be inspired and look forward to a brighter future.

UE's new PartyUp feature broadcasts to multiple speakers
Don't tell the flash mobs about this.
Jon Turi, @jonturi
Ultimate Ears' Boom and Megaboom Bluetooth speakers have been some of our favorites in recent years, and if you or your friends picked one up, today's new software update may surprise you. The company is launching a revamped app interface and OTA firmware update that now allows you to pair far more than two UE speakers at a time. This new feature is called PartyUp and leverages Bluetooth Smart LE to let you see, remotely turn on and add nearby speakers to your audio output. The company claims you can easily add up to 50 at once, provided they're all running the new firmware. To help kick off the party, you can pick up speakers from the company's website at a discounted rate in groups of five or ten, which will be offered through the holidays.
Gallery: UE PartyUp for Boom and Megaboom | 17 Photos
Once you launch the app and swipe into the PartyUp screen, it will automatically scan for any available speakers and list them at the bottom of the screen. You can then simply drag and drop them onto the main area, where they'll display as either a full speaker icon (if just doing stereo) or small discs for three or more speakers. They'll display with a loading icon in the center until they're fully connected, or occasionally drop back into the found speakers list if the pairing didn't work the first time.
The design and interface is much improved over previous iterations, although it's not a drastic overhaul. Connectivity and pairing is generally better too, although we're at the mercy of Bluetooth, so there's still a few potential hurdles. I was initially shown the feature on an iPhone 6 and it seemed to work near-flawlessly, finding 10 nearby speakers quickly and adding them to the group, even if they were powered off at the time.
My subsequent tests were done using a Nexus 5X running Android 7.0, with mixed success. Sometimes I had to toggle Bluetooth on and off a few times to get things going. This happened a few times during my tests and isn't a particularly new occurrence, at least with handset I've been using. Once the app connected to the main speaker and found the other devices nearby, things proceeded smoothly, for the most part. As you can see in video below, it took some time to load and a few tries to get them all connected.
Individual speaker volumes can be adjusted while part of the PartyUp output. However, this will add a Volume Sync prompt at the top of the app to allow the person in charge to bring them all up to the same volume again.
This is, by the way, a free update and works for all Boom, Boom 2 and Megaboom speakers. Unfortunately, the Roll and Roll 2 don't have enough on-board memory to join in and if you want to use the Block Party feature in the app, you're still stuck with a maximum of two speakers (which the Roll can handle just fine).
It's hard to say how many people will have access to enough speakers to really put this feature to the test, but I tried it with two Megabooms and five Boom / Boom 2 speakers. The experience feels immersive, especially if you crank it up indoors. On a large outdoor roof deck, they also pumped out enough volume to consider using for a large group or dance party, so invite your friends to bring a UE speaker along. I've yet to see if crowds of people would interfere with the Bluetooth connection or not, though.
While UE casually says you can pair up to 50 speakers at once, it's said that it has broadcast to 150 in a test environment, which was all they had on hand. Keep in mind, this all works by being broadcast from a single host speaker as a one-to-one connection for each additional unit instead of any daisy-chaining. That's pretty impressive and we've only noticed a couple other systems that go beyond pairing two units, like the Bayan Audio SoundScene, which pairs up to eight.
It's worth noting that you can bypass the app and pair multiple devices manually, in the same manner as before. Just press and hold the Bluetooth and plus volume button on the host speaker until you hear the pairing bongo sound, then double click the Bluetooth button on any nearby speakers to hop into the Party Up zone. This is one way you could use a DJ app on your laptop and have a series of UE speakers to flesh out the sound system. However you choose to use this new feature, it's bound to be an interesting -- and potentially loud -- experience.

Q: How to do an arithmetic operation with aliased column in SQL I have a databse table as like below:
id received_by sent_by amount product_id
1  1           2       10     1
2  1           3       12     1
3  2           1       5      1
4  3           1       8      2

Here, received_by and sent_by are two user ID those who are receiving and sending the product respectively. I want to calculate the total amount of each product of a single user by subtracting the sent amount from received amount.
My current query looks like below:
select
    product_id,
    (received - sent) as quantity,
    case(when received_by = 1 then amount end) as received,
    case(when sent_by = 1 then amount end) as sent
group by
    product_id;

Here I get an error that Unknown column 'received' in 'field list'.
How can I calculate each users inventory/stock?

A: You can't use the calculated columns in the SELECT list.
Also you need the aggregate function SUM().
One way to do it is with a subquery:
select *, (received - sent) as quantity
from (
  select product_id,
         sum(case when received_by = 1 then amount else 0 end) as received,
         sum(case when sent_by = 1 then amount else 0 end) as sent
  from tablename
  where 1 in (received_by, sent_by)
  group by product_id
) t

Or:
select product_id,
       sum(case when received_by = 1 then amount else -amount end) as quantity,
       sum(case when received_by = 1 then amount else 0 end) as received,
       sum(case when sent_by = 1 then amount else 0 end) as sent
from tablename
where 1 in (received_by, sent_by)
group by product_id

See the demo.

A: First of all you missed the from clause in your query before group by. Secondly you cannot use column aliases (received, sent) in same select statement.
 create table mytable(id int, received_by int, sent_by int, amount int, product_id int);
 insert into mytable values(1,  1,           2,       10,     1);
 insert into mytable values(2,  1,           3,       12,     1);
 insert into mytable values(3,  2,           1,       5,      1);
 insert into mytable values(4,  3,           1,       8,      2);

Query:
  select product_id, (coalesce(received,0)-coalesce(sent,0)) as Quantity, coalesce(received,0) received,coalesce(sent)sent
from
(       select
            product_id,
            sum(case when received_by = 1 then amount end) as received,
            sum(case when sent_by = 1 then amount end) as sent
        from mytable
        group by
            product_id

)t;

Output:
    |product_id | Quantity | received | sent|
    |-----------|----------|----------|-----|
    |         1 |       17 |       22 |    5|
    |         2 |       -8 |        0 |    8|

Jean-Gabriel "Gaby" Cohn-Bendit (* 14. April 1936 in Montrouge ; † 17. Dezember 2021 in Toulouse) war ein französischer Reformpädagoge und politischer Aktivist.

Leben
Gabriel Cohn-Bendit wurde 1936 in Montrouge bei Paris als Sohn des deutschen Rechtsanwalts Erich Cohn-Bendit und seiner Frau Herta Cohn-Bendit geboren. Seine Eltern hatten 1933 ins französische Exil gehen müssen, um der Verfolgung durch die Nationalsozialisten zu entkommen. Anders als sein Bruder Daniel Cohn-Bendit (* 1945), späterer Studentenführer und Grünen-Politiker, wurde er französischer Staatsbürger.

Er studierte an der Sorbonne in Paris. Cohn-Bendit trat 1956 in die Kommunistische Partei Frankreichs (PCF) ein, verließ diese aber später wieder und schloss sich – nach kurzer Sympathie für trotzkistische Strömungen – der Gruppe Socialisme ou barbarie und der Vereinigten Sozialistischen Partei (PSU) an. In der Zeit der 68er-Bewegung verkehrte er in linksextremen Kreisen. 1979 offenbarte er der Tageszeitung Libération seine libertäre linke politische Gesinnung und berichtete dabei über die Einflüsse des Trotzkismus. Später wurde er Mitglied der grünen Partei Frankreichs Europe Écologie-Les Verts.

Ab 1979 unterstützte er gemeinsam mit Éric Delcroix, Claude Karnoouh, Vincent Monteil und Jean-Louis Tristani in einer umstrittenen Publikation (1981) den Holocaustleugner Robert Faurisson in seinem Ansinnen auf freie Meinungsäußerung, was u. a. zum Konflikt mit der Ligue Internationale Contre le Racisme et l'Antisémitisme führte.

Cohn-Bendit war bis 1987 als Deutschlehrer in der Gemeinde Saint-Nazaire tätig, zuletzt an der 1982 von ihm gegründeten reformpädagogischen Schule Lycée expérimental de Saint-Nazaire. Im Schuljahr 1987/88 unterrichtete er als Ortskraft Deutsch am französischen Lycée in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Anschließend kehrte er nach Frankreich zurück und wurde dort für "neue Erziehungsprojekte" abgeordnet.

1989 gründete Cohn-Bendit das Groupement des retraités éducateurs sans frontières, später Groupement des Éducateurs sans Frontières (GREF), eine Organisation, die pensionierte Lehrkräfte für zeitlich begrenzte ehrenamtliche Einsätze in Länder des globalen Südens vermittelt, und arbeitete als ihr Generalsekretär, bis er 1996 in den Ruhestand trat. Im Dezember 2009 beantragte er zusätzlich zu seiner französischen Staatsangehörigkeit die Staatsangehörigkeit von Burkina Faso, die er 2010 erhielt.

Mehrmals schrieb er Offene Briefe an das Bildungsministerium, in denen er zu Reformen aufrief. Im Jahr 2001 wurde er von Kulturminister Jack Lang in den Conseil national de l'innovation pour la réussite scolaire berufen. 2004 gründete er das Réseau Éducation Pour Tous en Afrique (REPTA).

2002 kritisierten er und sein Bruder Daniel in einem Artikel («Arlette n'est pas une sainte», deutsch: Arlette ist keine Heilige) in der Zeitschrift Libération u. a. die trotzkistische Partei Lutte Ouvrière und deren Vorsitzende Arlette Laguiller. Für diese "Diffamierung" wurde Gabriel Cohn-Bendit 2005 von einem Berufungsgericht zu einer Geldstrafe von 1500 Euro verurteilt.

Bei der Präsidentschaftswahl in Frankreich 2012 rief er öffentlich zur Wahl François Hollandes auf.

Airport restaurant De Vlijt is situated at a unique location. It's a place with a remarkable – one could even say romantic – history. A past filled with airmen, parachutists and other rugged adventurers.
It is also a history populated by pioneers and hard workers. It began way back in 1937, when the dirt-poor Texel islanders took on the heavy labour of building the airport. This sweat and toil was part of a project to reduce unemployment. After that, De Vlijt was used by both the Dutch military and civilian aviation. In those years, KLM operated a regular line flight between Schiphol and Texel, especially for transporting day-trippers. Even back then, it would seem, not all Dutch people were satisfied with recreation that brought them no further than the local zoo. KLM deployed a Fokker F.XXXVI for these flights, which was a large plane originally built for use in the Dutch East Indies.
During the second World War, the occupying Germans blocked the runways to prevent Allied pilots from using them for an invasion. In 1952, after being used as an internment camp for collaborators for two years, the airport on Texel was reopened for business. Despite its modest size, it has since grown into the busy airport you see today, which hosts over 6,000 people making tandem jumps and more than 25,000 air transport movements each year.

This year, two cases of alleged harassment and bullying have rocked Germany's prestigious Max Planck Society (MPG), headquartered in Munich. In February, the news magazine Der Spiegel reported allegations against an unidentified researcher, and in June, Buzzfeed identified her as astrophysicist Guinevere Kauffmann at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Garching, Germany. In the other case, Science last week reported on allegations that Tania Singer, director at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, Germany, created an "atmosphere of fear" at her lab and bullied and denigrated researchers there.
But, "What recent media reports have shown is only the tip of the iceberg," concludes a position paper released today by PhDnet, a network of the roughly 5000 doctoral students working at the 84 MPG institutes. Early career scientists working within the system face an array of tensions—especially with supervisors—the network says, and the society needs stronger systems for preventing and resolving problems. "We as the representation of [doctoral researchers] see the prevalence of power abuse and the difficulties to solve interpersonal conflicts as a structural problem of the academic system," the statement says.
Science spoke about the statement with Jana Lasser, a spokesperson for PhDnet and a physicist and doctoral candidate at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Göttingen, Germany. The interview has been edited for clarity and brevity.
Q: Are you aware of other cases beyond those reported at the institutes in Leipzig and Garching?
A: Nothing of this magnitude. But there are many smaller conflicts: Many researchers who are pressured by supervisors not to take the holidays they have a right to take. Or pressure to publish even though they don't feel the data is ready.
Q: Are such cases outliers? Or is it a structural problem?
A: It is both. If you look at the large number of early career researchers within the Max Planck Society, I think it's fair to call these individual cases. On the other hand, there is a systematic problem behind it. The MPG is a wonderful platform for a Ph.D., it opens up a lot of opportunities. But if there is a conflict with the thesis adviser, then that conflict is almost impossible to solve. That is a systematic problem because [the student has] such a strong dependence on just one person and because the mechanisms to report and resolve conflicts partly don't work. And people are afraid for their careers and so don't speak up.
Q: Is that a particularly bad problem at MPG?
A: I don't think so. Our whole research system is built this way. It's not really different at a university. If you do your Ph.D. with a professor there, you are also completely dependent.
Q: It appears that many people were aware of the two recent cases for a long time. Why does it take years for any action to be taken?
A: On the one hand, you have to ask yourself why people still go [to these laboratories] if [the problems are] so well known. That probably has to do with the scientific excellence [of the laboratories]. People assume that if they do their Ph.D. with this person that is so well-known in his or her field, then that will open up many career opportunities. That even if it means that they are going to suffer for 3 years, they can just get through it and it will be worth it for the future. I think this is hard for the MPG to address. It's an incredibly difficult problem to solve when one side is afraid to say anything and the other side doesn't really want to see there is a problem.
Q: The position paper makes a range of suggestions. What needs to change?
A: The main thing is that early career researchers need to feel safe enough in their position to speak up about conflicts early on. That means ending their dependence on just one person, the thesis adviser. One important tool can be the thesis advisory committees. The idea behind that is that more than one person supervises a doctoral candidate's thesis.
Q: But the society is already using such committees.
A: Yes, but they are not the norm yet. According to a survey we did last year, 54% of doctoral candidates have a thesis advisory committee. We want every Ph.D. student to have a thesis advisory committee. And the people on the committee need to be independent of each other. In Garching, for instance, students did have a thesis advisory committee, but both Kauffmann and her husband were on them. That is not independent.
A: Something we think is extremely important is to train scientists in management and leadership. Science is becoming more international, more collaborative, and groups are becoming larger. Max Planck directors have a scientific career behind them, but—to put it bluntly—they haven't necessarily learned how to lead people. They need help in doing that. Training in leadership, communication, conflict resolution should be mandatory. It is in many U.S. universities, for instance.
Q: What should happen once a conflict arises?
A: We would like an external committee, independent of the MPG, to be established that can investigate and judge such a conflict. It should include scientific leaders as well as early career researchers, plus people who have experience in conflict resolution: mediators, psychologists, maybe a lawyer. What is important is that the victim of the conflict needs to be in control over what happens, so that nothing happens without their involvement.
Q: What if the committee decides that someone abused their power? What should be the consequences?
A: That should depend on how severe the offense is. The lowest level [consequence] would be mandatory training or coaching, then mandatory co-supervision. I think it's important to give people a second chance. Reducing the number of people being supervised by someone is definitely a good idea to take pressure off all sides. And if something like this happens again and again, it needs to be an option to bar someone from supervising early career researchers altogether. We have to accept that there are people who are excellent researchers but terrible leaders.
Q: One of the allegations that came up repeatedly in Leipzig was how pregnant women were treated. Is that part of a bigger problem for female researchers at MPG?
A: That is a big problem in science in general. The MPG is already trying very hard [to assist pregnant researchers]. There is a program to give financial assistance for child care. Another program makes sure female scientists who cannot work in the lab because of a pregnancy get an assistant to help with the lab work. But no matter how hard the MPG tries, the insane pressure in science remains. If I am working on a hot issue and two or three other labs are working on the same thing and will publish in the next few months, then I simply cannot afford to be pregnant. The research system as a whole will have to find a way of dealing with the fact that female researchers who are in their most productive phase, as Ph.D. students and postdocs, are also at an age where they may have kids. The MPG cannot solve that issue alone. … The solution is not to shout at people for getting pregnant.
