Working for a Horrible HR Boss
By Arlene S. Hirsch
Employees are often encouraged to ask HR for help with a difficult manager. But what happens when that manager is an HR executive? As one beleaguered HR coordinator lamented, "There's no HR for HR."
"There's a lot of secrecy or silence when these problems occur in the HR department," said Jennifer Lewis (not her real name). "People are more likely to leave than to vocalize their concerns because of the sensitive nature of being embedded in those teams."
Lewis has suffered through a parade of bad bosses, each one difficult in a unique way. The worst was an HR director at a Midwestern advertising agency. Lewis reported directly to her. The director was constantly making inappropriate comments to staff, employees and job candidates.
"She had no filter," Lewis said. "She told one candidate that he had a 'cute butt' and another one that she must be Chinese because her parents were from China."
During a panel discussion on diversity, held at the organization, the director asked the only black panelist, "Why don't black people want to work for our company?"
"I don't know why she was asking him," Lewis said. "He didn't even work for our company."
Two employees complained to Lewis about the incident. That put her in the uncomfortable position of figuring out whether to apologize for her boss's insensitivity, confront her boss directly, or report the incident to other senior-level people in the organization.
Lewis quickly ruled out going to her boss's boss. The two executives were close allies, and she assumed that he knew what the HR director was like and that it must not have bothered him. Instead, she contacted an employee assistance program counselor, who encouraged her to talk to her boss about the incident.
Lewis recruited an HR co-worker to go with her to give her more credibility and avoid being scapegoated.
The conversation bombed.
"She got defensive and laughed it off, saying that people were being too sensitive," said Lewis. "Then she started guessing which employees had complained."
Lewis let the matter drop. But her boss continued to make inappropriate comments, which led to additional problems.
How to Start the Tough Conversation
Jill Panall, SHRM-SCP, recommends that HR professionals focus on the legal problems the boss's behavior may cause.
"I beat the drum of risk a lot," said Panall, chief consultant at 21Oak HR Consulting in Newburyport, Mass. "If you have an HR boss who is doing something [or asking you to do something] that is unethical, illegal or immoral, you have to make people aware of the risk to the business."
She suggested going to the company's legal department for guidance about how to handle the situation.
"You can bring that information back to your boss," said Panall, "and present it as, 'This might open up some red flags for us.' "
Julie Jansen, an executive coach and author of You Want Me to Work with Who? (Penguin, 2006), recommends trying to deal directly with the problematic relationship on your own before considering whether to go over (or around) your boss.
"You should be able to sit down with your boss and have a conversation about how their behavior is impacting your work," Jansen said. "If they aren't responsive, then you have to assess the gravity of the situation and whether it makes sense to go over their head."
Jansen questioned Lewis' decision to bring a co-worker into the conversation. While the impulse is understandable, it can make your boss feel like she's being ambushed.
She also questioned Lewis' assumption that the director's boss must have known what the director was like and that his silence on the subject signaled complicity. "Some people are very crafty about hiding behaviors that they know their bosses would not approve of."
If you decide to go to your boss's boss, Jansen recommends bringing detailed documentation to back up your assertions. And if other people in the department are aware of the bad behavior, encourage them to do the same.
When each person takes the initiative to go over the boss's head and present similar stories and documentation, that makes it harder for company leaders to ignore the situation, Jansen said. It also makes it more difficult for the toxic boss to retaliate against any one individual.
Oregon-based career coach Lea McLeod encourages employees build a good relationship with their boss so that when difficulties arise, there is a foundation of trust to build upon.
"Why leave the quality of that relationship solely in your manager's hands? Instead, you should have a strategic plan to 'manage up' and figure out how to work with your manager more effectively."
Panall distinguishes between bad HR bosses who are bad people (or bad managers) and those who are inexperienced in HR.
"HR leaders sometimes get shoehorned into the role from other functions like finance, operations or accounting," Panall said. "They don't really understand what it is or how it works. But if you can position yourself as an HR expert, you can become a real asset to your boss."
Tone-deaf question aside, Lewis's boss was genuinely confused about why the company was having trouble recruiting diverse candidates. Rather than focusing on her boss's interpersonal skills, or lack thereof, Lewis could have offered to develop a diversity and inclusion strategy, preferably one that included unconscious-bias training, for hiring managers and talent acquisition professionals. This would add a marketable skill to her resume, improve the company culture and help her boss be more successful in that part of her role.
Mary Abbajay offers the following approach to dealing with a bad boss, regardless of type. She is the president and co-founder of Careerstone Group LLC, an organizational and professional development company in Washington, D.C., and author of Managing Up: How to Move Up, Win at Work and Succeed with Any Type of Boss (Wiley, 2018).
De-escalate your anger and replace it with empathy, compassion and humor. Try to see things from your boss's point of view.
Diagnose the incompetence. Inexperience? Poor decision-making skills?
Low emotional intelligence? "If you can pinpoint and prioritize the problem, you can create targeted strategies to address the deficiency."
Compensate and cover. Develop strategies to compensate for those deficiencies, and look for opportunities to shine and be an asset.
Take the long view. Don't worry about a boss who takes credit for your accomplishments. "Make your boss and your team look good, and you will look good as well."
Learn what you can from the boss you have.
Grit or Quit?
Helping her boss become a better manager may have required more of a commitment to the organization than Lewis was willing to make, especially after this incident:
When Lewis's boss sent an e-mail referring to another director as a "train wreck," she inadvertently copied the director on the e-mail.
The director stormed into Lewis' office to complain. Once again, Lewis was put in the uncomfortable position of apologizing and trying to figure out what to do about her boss's bad behavior. Instead of confronting her boss yet again, she referred the director to corporate HR for resolution and then resigned the following week.
"Enough is enough," Lewis said. "I was tired of cleaning up her messes."
"If your manager is so bad that your self-worth is crumbling, if you're overwhelmed or even afraid, or if you find yourself crying in the parking lot," Abbajay said, "your only option is to get away from that person pronto."
The decision to quit is personal. But if you're spending more time trying to manage your boss than doing the work you were hired to do, your physical or mental health is suffering, and you've really tried without success to fix the situation, it's probably time to move on.

Q: Probability: Defective items in a batch A shipment of 10 items has 2 defectives and 8 non-defective items. In the inspection of the shipment, a sample of items will be selected and tested. If a selected item is found, the shipment of 10 items will be rejected.
If a sample of 4 items is selected, what is the probability that the sample contains 2 defectives?
This was a question asked on one of my tests, and I was counted correct for it, but I feel like I got it incorrect. My work was as follows:

P(Y=2) = (8C2 * 2C0) / (10C4) = .1333

Could someone check my work on this? Why would we do 8C2 non-defective and 2C0? Is this because we are trying to get 2 successes out of 8 possible successes and following the (N-r)C(n-y) format for the number of failures? I think I just confuse myself with all of the subtracting and stuff.

A: You want to calculate the probability $2$ of your items are defective in your sample of $4$. If you have $2$ defective items in your sample then you also have $2$ non-defective items in your sample. The number of ways to choose a sample with $2$ items that are defective and $2$ that are non-defective is $\binom{2}{2}\binom{8}{2}$. The total number of ways to choose a sample is $\binom{10}{4}$. So the probability of having both defective items in your sample is:
$$\frac{\binom{2}{2}\binom{8}{2}}{\binom{10}{4}}=.1\overline{33}$$

Oklahoma vs. UCLA softball: Time, TV channel, five things to know
Joe Mussatto
Oklahoma and UCLA, consistently ranked as the top-two teams in college softball this season, will meet Monday night in Game 1 of the Women's College World Series championship series.
Here's what to know about the matchup:
No. 1 OKLAHOMA (57-4) VS. No. 2 UCLA (54-6)
When: 6:30 p.m., Monday; 7:30 p.m., Tuesday; 7:30 p.m., Wednesday (if necessary)
Where: USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium, Oklahoma City
TV: ESPN (Cox 29/HD 720, Dish 140, DirecTV 206, U-verse 602/HD 1602)
Five things to know
• UCLA's 11 softball national titles are the most of any program. OU is third all-time with four, but three of those came this decade (2013, 2016, 2017). UCLA's last national championship was in 2010 against Arizona. Coach Patty Gasso's first national championship in 2000 came against UCLA. The Bruins lead the all-time series 10-4.
• UCLA beat OU 7-1 on Feb. 22 in the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic in Palm Springs, California. UCLA's Rachel Garcia struck out 15 Sooners while allowing just four hits. Mariah Lopez started the game for the Sooners, giving up three earned runs. OU ace Giselle Juarez didn't pitch against the Bruins.
• Garcia, the back-to-back USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year, will face off against Sydney Romero, a fellow finalist for the award. Garcia is 27-1 with a 1.03 ERA. She threw 179 pitches in UCLA's 10-inning win against Washington on Sunday. Garcia then hit the deciding walk-off home run against the Huskies. Romero leads the Sooners with a .426 average and 19 home runs. The senior third baseman is hitting .424 in 10 postseason games.
• Six Sooners are from within 100 miles of Los Angeles: Shay Knighten, Mariah Lopez, Fale Aviu, Kylie Lundberg, Eliyah Flores and Alexa Schultz. Six Sooners are from Oklahoma.
• Pitching has ruled the postseason. Oklahoma is hitting .347 with a .440 on-base percentage and .643 slugging percentage overall. But in 10 NCAA Tournament games, those numbers have fallen to .256/.349/.477. UCLA is hitting .295/.389/.477 in nine postseason games.


MWR fans thank you so much checking out the MWR website and supporting the promotions, wrestlers and this past week the Managers, Referees and Ring Announcers. As you know most of these talented and hard working men and women are my personal friends so I am so glad that you had the decision to choose this fine award.
First off let me apologize for not setting an exact time in my post for the poll to end. I have learned my lesson and it will not happen again.
I would like to congratulate first off Sarah Rose. In less than a year she has become a crowd favorite among the wrestling fans. MWR fans cheered her as she ring announced the last St. Louis Anarchy event as the era came to a close with Davey Vega defeating Mat Fitchett, and you can still catch her at the exciting Pro Wrestling Championship Series (PWCS). The best is yet to come for this charismatic ring announcer.
We would like to congratulate Sarah Rose as the 2016 MWR Ring Announcer of the Year.
Lucy Mendez is a former 2-time MWR Female Wrestler of the Year that is a double threat as a manager for the likes of Ace Steel and Elvis Aliaga. She is always one step ahead of the ref, while causing anger from the fans. Still, she has earned the respect of the fans enough to be voted as the 2016 MWR Manager of the Year.
We would like to congratulate Lucy Mendez as the 2016 MWR Manager of the Year.
"Gentleman" Jason Pemberton has worked all over the Midwest since 2011. With an estimated 1000+ matches refereed, Jason has worked for more than a dozen companies, such as AAW, DREAMWAVE, National Wrasslin' League, PWCS, and many more in the IL and MO area. Jason has also worked in Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Wisconsin, and is looking to branch out more in the near future.
We would like to congratulate Jason Pemberton as the 2016 Referee of the Year.
It is that time to have a little fun. The stressful part of choosing the official MWR Awards for the year 2016 is now over. So I am going to hand off the hard part of choosing the 2016 Best of the MWR coverage area Ring Announcers, Referees and Managers for you to decide.


Vinyl records are projected to sell 40 million units in 2017, with sales nearing the $1 billion benchmark for the first time this millennium. This impressive milestone has been untouched since the peak of the industry in the 1980s. While explosive by today's standards, according to Deloitte, in its heyday ('81), total vinyl album sales surpassed 1 billion units in just that year alone.
The record industry's hunters and gatherers have been busy collecting. According to Deloitte, new vinyl records and revenue will enjoy a seventh consecutive year of double-digit growth in 2017. But the slice of the pie is still a very small one - with broader music industry revenues projected to be approximately $15 billion this year, vinyl will account for only 6%.
I spoke with Toddrick Spalding, the Director of Music at the trailer production agency Mob Scene – a music expert by trade, and avid record collector in Los Angeles. At 37 years old, Spalding listens to vinyl daily. His "modest" collection is a very highly-curated mix of 2,000 albums, both old and new. Other collectors have over 10,000 albums, completing discographies and aggregating every album from a specific record label, so he feels his is relatively small. Anytime he travels somewhere new, Spalding takes a dedicated day to find the record store and add to his collection.
Will future generations care for vinyl? Spalding's 7-year-old son, Salinger, may be a great indicator for continued growth. He has his own record player and collection. It's easy to purchase a record player today, so the barrier of entry isn't a big one.
There are also growing subscription-model businesses like Vinyl Me, Please, which delivers a new special edition vinyl album to your door every month. Another modernization on the classic industry is the annual Record Store Day (April 22 this year), which is hosted by local record labels and record stores across the country to celebrate and sell vinyl.
For those looking forward to perusing a record store, finding what they want, unwrapping the plastic, taking a dedicated moment to listen to music, reading the "Thank You" section and admiring the artwork, vinyl provides an unmatched and intimate experience. Despite the sustaining massive CD sales in Japan, I don't believe cassettes and CDs carry the same sentimental weight. Vinyl records offer a nostalgic listening journey for every generation, whether it was previously a favorite pastime, or a time capsule for those discovering it for the first time.
It may not be a coincidence that the vinyl resurgence in 2008 coincides with the launch of Spotify. In many ways, vinyl is like the print industry. As streaming continues to grow (and change), there will always be a market for the powerful emotional impact of something tangible, especially with a nostalgic tie.

Thanks for this guide. I replaced my first iPad screen. Did not go wholly to plan and I ended up having to buy a power flex that I ripped (there are two types of power flex so make sure you order the right one for you iPad 2 version). Glass was shattered but carefully removed it. Final tip is make sure you remove as much of the old adhesive residue as you can if its built up, to include a flush fit.


Change. It's both around us and inside us. I don't like change. I work hard to get my life, and the elements of my life, all arranged and workable, and then life happens and shakes it up. Some people love change. I am not one of them. Even so, I'm smart enough to know that fighting to keep the status quo makes no sense. Why assume that change is less desirable than the present state? That's illogical. And frankly, sometimes the present ain't so hot.
In works of fiction, the story navigates along the plot points and pivots on the turning points until it reaches the climax. In fiction, the story opens at a critical point in the character's life – the inciting incident – and as the story flows along, the character grows and changes.
I insist upon a happy ending in my fictional stories and want the same in the story I live.
It's unreasonable to expect every story to have a happy ending in the real world. Maybe "happy enough" is the best that practical, realistic people can hope for. We all know that what we think we want – what we think will provide the happiest ending – is often the wrong thing entirely. So, with that in mind, consider this: enjoy the story as you are reading it (enjoy the journey as you live it), laugh and cry as appropriate, and always hope for a happy ending, but remember that our life story, unlike the fictional story, doesn't end when the last page is turned.
In the face of change, keep hoping and moving forward. Know that tomorrow is a new day and a new opportunity, and it's a rare day that doesn't have something worthwhile to offer. Don't wait for the happy ending – try to make your own happy ending anew each and every day.

Excellent post, Grace. You're right, no one likes change. The "happy enough" ending is the way I like the novels I read to end.
I tend to end my novels that way, too. One person's HEA isn't necessarily someone else's. I like to leave enough flexibility that each person can see their vision of it.
Great post, I think change is good for us but it gets harder as we grow older. It does make you step out of your comfort zone though. Love HEA, isn't that why we all read romance.
Hi Shari - I think it's important to be able to change. Some things I wish wouldn't change but then we'd never know what we might have missed.

Norfolk selected
Stephen Fry joins Norwich City board
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-10968940
Actor, writer and television presenter Stephen Fry has joined the board of Norwich City Football Club.
The announcement was made at a press conference at Carrow Road.
Fry, who will act as an ambassador for the club, said: "Truly this is one of the most exciting days of my life and I am as proud and pleased as I could be."
Fry, who has a home in Norfolk, is a lifelong fan of the Championship club and has often been seen with majority shareholder Delia Smith at Carrow Road.
'Just fantastic'
He said: "Having been shockingly overlooked by successive Norwich City managers all these years as a player, I have come to the sad conclusion that it is probably unlikely now that I will ever be picked to play for the first team.
"But I am happy instead to play my part in another capacity, as that of a proud and passionate ambassador for the great game of football.
"The day may still come when I am needed out on the pitch, I haven't entirely ruled that out, but until then I shall endeavour to serve with enthusiasm and energy, spreading the word far and wide of Norwich City Football Club and the pleasures and rewards to be had as a supporter."
Ms Smith said: "Having one of the club's most passionate supporters who just happens to also be one of the country's best-loved performers join us to act as an ambassador for the football club will be just fantastic."
The television chef, who has been majority shareholder at Norwich since 1996, was made a CBE for services to the food industry in 2009.
Norwich, who were League One winners last season, play at Scunthorpe on Saturday where they hope to secure their first points of the new Championship campaign.

The Ettington Park Hotel – The UK's most haunted property?
An imposing masterpiece of Neo Gothic Architecture, The Ettington Park Hotel has intimidated many a passerby during the course of its existence.
Every year, millions of visitors from around the world travel to Stratford Upon Avon in order to pay their respects to William Shakespeare, sup on a cream tea and stroll along the scenic River Stour. Only a small percentage of these tourists realize that the idyllic slice of Warwickshire countryside they admire is home to what some historians and paranormal experts believe is the most haunted building in Great Britain – The Ettington Park Hotel.
An imposing masterpiece of Neo Gothic Architecture, The Ettington Park Hotel has intimidated many a passerby during the course of its existence. Crafted from coloured bricks, steep turrets and tapestry- draped windows, this otherwise posh hotel has been the setting for some very strange phenomena indeed. Perhaps it is its ancient setting, its literary history or its swirling mass of lost souls – but something is clearly going on in Stratford-Upon-Avon.
The Ettington Park Hotel
The Ettington Park Hotel – A Disturbing History
Set just outside the city centre (known in its own right for haunted walks, ghost tours and spooky cobbled lanes), The Ettington Park Hotel was built on the site of multiple Tudor era manors, and takes its name from the nearby estate of Lower Ettington. Archaeological surveys of the area show that humans have resided on this acreage for over 2000 years, some certain to have left their presence on these grounds.
The impressive Gothic Revival brick structure is an 1858- 62 remodeling of a much earlier house (thought to have dated to between the 18th and the 16th century) situated on the estate, with multiple additions added throughout the 20th century. Twisting staircases, long winding hallways, foundations thought to belong to a Roman temple – this is a truly bizarre and mysterious building that begs exploration from intrepid ghost hunters.
A Mysterious Book and A Dastardly Curse
Perhaps most telling of all is the strange case of the Sir Walter Scott book St. Ronan's Well. This ragged old tome regularly comes tumbling off of the hotel library's shelf and falls open to one page time and time again, despite the fact that the spine is not worn in this place.
What frightening portent does this page contain?
A merry place, 'tis said, in days of yore; but something ails it now—the place is cursed.
This ominous message has rightfully sent chills down the spines of many generations of Ettington Park visitors.
The most persistent – and malicious – spirit to haunt The Ettington Park Hotel must certainly be the Grey Lady. Seen by countless guests, employees and visitors, the Grey Lady is a mysterious female figure shrouded in thick white mist seen often in the Stour Corridor and other areas of the property. Alarmingly, guests have report losing control over their faculties when she is near, and finding themselves inexplicably drawn to the woman despite feeling abject terror. The Grey Lady is often accompanied by a cloaked monk, and many people report seeing them both together.
The Tragic Brothers – Two Drowned Children
In the Victorian era, children had much shorter life expectancies than would be considered acceptable now; many wee ones passed away from maladies, accident and poverty. Such was the case at The Ettington Park Hotel when two young children, innocently playing on hotel grounds by the River Stour, were caught up in the current and swept away.
These drowned children are known to make themselves apparent to guests – most recently to a woman staying in the aptly named "Stour Suite." She reported that two young children (eerily matching the descriptions of the long ago deceased pair) kept her awake all night by running up and down the stairs outside her room. No one else heard a thing.
Poor, dear Mary
The Oak Room Restaurant and the Main Staircase are both said to be haunted by the spectre of a sweet young maidservant who took a tumble down these accursed stairs following an argument with the Squire.
She does not appear to be malevolent, but her appearance is disarming to most nonetheless. Her tragic story is all the more heartrending considering that she is only one of many spirits thought to haunt this hotel – and not all of them are so kind.
Cinema Magic at The Ettington Park Hotel – The Haunted
The hotel was personally selected by director Robert Wise to serve as the exterior filming location for the 1963 classic horror film The Haunting (based on the 1959 novel The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson). Some of the film's crew and actors were housed on site at the hotel for the duration of the filming, and rumors abound that actresses Julie Harris and Claire Bloom were frightened to even step foot inside the building because it was 'scary looking.' It certainly is!
Film historian Richard C. Keenan has described the hotel's façade in the film as a "terrifying structure, a perception enhanced with the slight distortion and stark intensity of a wide-angle camera lens and infrared film stock." For many, this is their first introduction to The Ettington Park – for the rare brave few it will not be their last.
Can You Visit The Ettington Park Hotel Today?
After reading the above information, many people will want to steer clear of the property forever, but some morbidly curious individuals are sure to want to arrange a stay at the hotel – and this is absolutely possible, if you dare.
The Ettington Park Hotel has a fabulous reputation as the only AA 4 Red Star hotel in Stratford-Upon-Avon, attracting esteemed guests to its luxuriously appointed rooms, suites and facilities throughout the year. Touting itself as perfect for a romantic break or leisurely stay, clearly this property attracts many people for its slightly less macabre features.
Should you wish to visit Stratford-Upon-Avon and are willing to part with 150 pounds, a stay at the most haunted hotel in Great Britain is within your reach. We send you wishes for safe travels… you'll need them.

For quite sometime, I have been using the "recent comments" widget provided by Blogger templates. However, I noticed that they have stopped working. A number of Blogger users have been asking for a "recent comments" widget for quite sometime but the guys at Blogger don't seem to be listening. Going through all the gadgets you can add to your blog in Blogger in draft, I came across the Blogger comments gadget provided by Tigersyard.com. It shows the latest comments of any blogger blog. However you need to know your Blog ID. It's not perfect but it is the best working wigdet for this purpose. I am sure others will come and improve it further. I would prefer to have a few lines instead of the whole comment listed. Please tell me if you have a solution.
Have you tried to contact Blogger (Google) about this comment widget?
If Blogger doesn't offer a commenting widget, how about WordPress?
I've just started using Wordpress myself. It seems to be a very powerful blog app but clunky with it. I had heard it offers more functionality than Blogger. Would that be a fair comment?
Gemma: I totally agree that WP powered blogs definitely has more to offer. But hosting on Blogger is totally free and you don't have to worry about the severs going down or companies going out of business (at least not in the recent future).

Mertensophryne nyikae (common name: Nyika dwarf toad) is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is endemic to the Nyika Plateau of northern Malawi and adjacent northeastern Zambia.
Its natural habitats are montane forests and nearby wet, boggy grasslands at approximately  asl. Breeding takes place in small, shallow pools. Although its range is mostly (possibly entirely) within relatively well managed protected areas, habitat loss remains a potential threat.

El Fondo Nacional de las Artes (FNA) es un organismo autárquico dentro del Ministerio de Cultura de la Nación, con sede en la ciudad de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Creado bajo Decreto Ley N.º 1.224/58 el 3 de febrero de 1958 con el fin de prestar apoyo económico para fomentar actividades artísticas, literarias y culturales de la República Argentina.

Administra y redistribuye medios y recursos de forma equitativa para el fomento de la promoción, el desarrollo y premiación de actividades vinculadas a la producción cultural de autores argentinos y su difusión en el extranjero. Su finalidad es el enriquecimiento del patrimonio cultural argentino. Sus funciones se realizan de acuerdo a la necesidad monetaria de las expresiones artísticas y artesanales argentinas, como el conceder préstamos para desarrollar actividades artísticas a las personas de existencia real o jurídica en el país (de cierta relevancia e idoneidad), financiar la realización de certámenes, exposiciones y muestras, subvencionar bibliotecas, museos, archivos e instituciones oficiales privadas de la rama artística, financiar misiones culturales a las provincias del interior de Argentina, conceder becas y otorgar premios y demás distinciones a personalidades de la cultura.

Los beneficios que otorga el Fondo Nacional de las Artes están destinados a todas las disciplinas artísticas, tales como: arquitectura, arte visuales, artesanías, danza, diseño, letras, medios audiovisuales, música, teatro, arte y transformación social.

El Fondo Nacional de las Artes no podrá tener participación en ninguna clase de empresa.

En 1963, con el fin de reconocer la trayectoria de quienes realizan un valioso aporte a nuestra cultura se creó el Gran Premio del FNA. El primer galardonado fue el  escritor Jorge Luis Borges, en la categoría Letras. Numerosos artistas han recibido este galardón, entre los que se destacan: Armando Discépolo; Ariel Ramírez; Libero Badii; María Elena Walsh; Raquel Forner; Enrique Cadícamo; Marco Denevi; Tita Merello; Griselda Gambaro; Adolfo Aristarain; Edgardo Cozarinsky; Juan Falú; Josefina Robirosa y Horacio Salgán, por solo mencionar algunos.

Historia
El Fondo Nacional de las Artes nació en 1958 concebido como un sistema financiero especializado que fuera capaz de promover y prestar ayuda técnica y económica a las actividades culturales y artísticas, inclusive aquellas que sean encaradas con sentido industrial o comercial. Para estimular y financiar, mediante líneas de crédito, becas y subsidios, los proyectos promovidos por la iniciativa privada.

La institución se diferencia de otras similares como el Arts Council of Great Britain o el Canadá Council, pioneras en el financiamiento público de las artes, creadas en 1945 en Gran Bretaña y en 1957 en Canadá respectivamente; ya que fue creado como un organismo autónomo con la tarea de administrar, recaudar y distribuir los fondos del fomento a las artes dispuesto en las leyes, especialmente los ingresos que provienen del dominio público pagante establecido por la Ley 11723.

El campo de competencia del Fondo son: las artes plásticas, las artes aplicadas, el diseño, la arquitectura y urbanismo, el teatro, la danza, la música, las letras y la industria editorial, las artesanías, la cinematografía, la fotografía, la radiofonía, la televisión, los centros culturales y el mundo del mercado del arte.

El propósito del Fondo es contribuir a una mejor calidad de los bienes culturales argentinos, promover la creatividad, fomentar nueva fuentes de empleo cultural y la mejor utilización de la retribución del talento, estimular la excelencia dentro de un marco donde se respete la dignidad del trabajo creativo y se reconozca su valor social.

La estructura de organización y el funcionamiento de la Institución es autónoma. Los miembros que integren su Directorio, son responsables ante la ley en el ejercicio de sus funciones en garantía de su independencia frente al poder político.

Directorio

Según el Artículo 8.º del Decreto-Ley 1224/58, la Administración del Fondo estará a cargo de un Directorio que se compondrá de un Presidente y catorce vocales; doce de ellos serán designados por el Poder Ejecutivo entre personas de probada actuación en las diversas actividades artísticas a las que el Fondo presta apoyo económica. Durarán cuatro (4) años en sus funciones, renovándose por mitades cada dos (2) años. Deberán ser argentinos. Los dos restantes serán el director General de Cultura del Ministerio de Cultura y Educación y un representante del Banco Central de la República. El primero actuará en representación de los organismos oficiales de cultura del país.

Según el Artículo 9.º del Decreto-Ley 1224/58, el presidente deberá ser persona de reconocida experiencia bancaria y financiera y lo designará el Poder Ejecutivo por un período de cuatro años.

La escritora Victoria Ocampo fue parte del directorio de la institución hasta 1973 cuando anunció su renuncia. Su vivienda de Capital Federal, diseñada por Alejandro Bustillo, es actualmente sede del FNA.

El primer presidente del FNA fue Juan C. Pinasco, nombrado por el dictador Pedro Eugenio Aramburu en 1958 y que continuó ejerciendo el cargo hasta 1973, año en que presentó la renuncia al cargo. El profesor Félix Coluccio fue designado director de la institución en 1973 hasta 1974 (primer mandato) y luego en 1984 hasta 1991.

También para destacar fue la dirección de Augusto Raúl Cortazar entre 1953 y 1974, como presidente de la Comisión de Expresiones Folklóricas, y coordinador y asesor del Relevamiento Cinematográfico de Expresiones FolkIóricas, apoyó el financiamiento de becas a artistas, investigadores y productores culturales, impulsando la filmación de veintitrés películas, entre ellas gran parte de la filmografía de etnobiografías de Jorge Preloran.
El abogado Edwin R. Harvey fue designado presidente de la institución desde 1983 hasta 1989.

Virgilio Ignacio Tedin Uriburu, fue designado por la Secretaría de Cultura de la Presidencia de la Nación, presidente del instituto desde 29 de julio de 2013 hasta 2016.

Carolina Biquard y Mariano Roca fueron presidentes del organismo entre 2016 y 2020. Actualmente está presidido por Diana Saiegh.

Se han creado instituciones y mecanismos similares al modelo de esta entidad en otras regiones del mundo, incluyendo el Fondo Internacional para la Promoción de la Cultura de la Unesco en 1974. Por su enorme aporte a la cultura de la Argentina, la Fundación Konex le otorgó la Mención Especial en 1988. Se han creado instituciones parecidas inspiradas en el Fondo Nacional de las Artes en distintos países del mundo.

Posee una videoteca con material de diversa temática para su préstamo, a disposición de las instituciones culturales.

EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT BY JILL JACKSON
April 29th, 2020 Uncategorized
Joe Miller
In this month's Spotlight let's get to know a man of few words, Joe Miller. Joe joined Anchor in June of 2014 as a Network Administrator and he remains an integral part of that team. He says he likes working at Anchor because he "enjoys learning new stuff and helping people". In particular he enjoys developing relationships with the customers. When I dug deeper to understand what he likes about client relationships he replied, "I like getting to know the people and what makes them them". I can say from many of my own experiences that Joe doesn't just reserve that attitude for our clients, and is someone I can rely upon to drop what he's doing when I am locked out of Quickbooks or any other urgent issue I may be having. He fixes things quietly and doesn't like much fuss for doing it, but I sure appreciate him!
Joe served in the US Navy for 9 years active duty and then another 2 years in the reserves. He was later recalled as a result of 9/11 and was stationed for a second time in Hawaii at a Command Center that was leading the war on terrorism. Joe says he loved his time in the military and that's where he got his start in networking. He stated, "I kept learning because of what I did in the Navy". He has certifications in 2008 and 2012 MCITP.
Joe shares his home with his wife, Wendy, their 13 year old daughter Taylor, and a 7 year old Chihuahua Corgi mix named Clementine who they adopted from the Dumb Friends Animal League. Taylor has been performing Aerial Lyra (hoops) for 2 years now! I'd love to see that!
Joe enjoys movies, biking and going to theme parks with his wife!
Here is some Q & A fun with Joe:
Q: Do you have a favorite book or Author?
A: I love reading Dean Koontz and Tom Clancy
Q: What's your favorite meal?
A: Pizza and burgers….. but not at the same time.
Q: Who is your favorite musician/band?
A: I've seen Metallica 5 times in 4 different states! I have tickets to see Jeff Dunham, you know, the ventriloquist guy, and Gabriel Iglesias but both concerts are delayed right now.
Q: Do you have a favorite movie and/or TV series?
A: The Marvel superhero movies for sure. On TV I'm falling in love with Chicago PD.
Q: Do you have a guilty pleasure?
A: (He laughs then says) I'm addicted to peanut butter.
Q: What is your favorite animal? (I now ask everyone this question purely for my own curiosity!)
A: I would say the Elephants.
Q: If you could do another job for a day, what would it be?
A: I dreamt of being a firefighter when I was a kid. So when I was in the Navy and could do drills I would jump at the chance, not just to put out our fires but to help people when they're in need.

Q: Closing C# ASP.Net MVC4 Application with a Close Button I am going to ask the dumnest question ever. I am creating a C# ASP.Net MVC4 application. I want a button on the index page that will shut the application down and close the browser. How do I do it? I currently have the following code snippet in my Index.cshtml to give a button:
@using (Html.BeginForm("CloseApplication", "Home", FormMethod.Post))
{
    <input id="close" name="closeButton" type="submit" style="width:170px" value="Close Application" />
}

I am going to a CloseApplication ActionResult method in my HomeController.cs which currently looks like:
public ViewResult    CloseApplication()
{
    // Something to do here I think
    return null;
}

What do I do here?
Am I over complicating things?
Many thanks to all of you who contribute regularly and help us out.

A: Honestly think you are over-complicating things for yourself.
HTTP is stateless so by the time you have rendered a page onto the client's browser, your connections, etc, should have already been Dispose'd and the instance of the controller that returned the view the client is now looking at should no longer exist. The next request the client makes will spin up a whole other controller instance.
So the user can already "close" their "instance" (from their perspective) of the application by closing their browser - adding a button to do this is kind of pointless IMHO!

Our staff will discuss with you what x-rays could be necessary for us to solve any current problems and what x-rays could help us prevent other problems in the future. Modern x-rays are safe, efficient and one or our most important diagnostic tools.

The Global Brain
← Science of the Noosphere Main Page
Teilhard's description of the noosphere covers various manifestations of human cultural and technological evolution. In explaining his vision as a "Plausible Biological Interpretation of Human History", these are enumerated in three categories—the apparatus of heredity, the mechanical apparatus, and the cerebral apparatus.
However, it's the third feature of its anatomy—the cerebral apparatus—that most compellingly embodies Teilhard's definition of the noosphere as "an envelope of thinking substance". That is commonly interpreted as a global brain with collective consciousness. But how would that work?
Teilhard himself acknowledged the primary challenge in making this leap:
"On the one hand we have a single brain, formed of nervous nuclei, and on the other a Brain of brains. It is true that between these two organic complexes a major difference exists. Whereas in the case of the individual brain thought emerges from a system of nonthinking nervous fibers, in the case of the collective brain each separate unit is in itself an autonomous center of reflection. If the comparison is to be a just one we must, at every point of resemblance, take this difference into account."
One of the leaders in the field of research into the global brain and collective consciousness is Francis Heylighen. He is the director of the Center Leo Apostel (CLEA) for transdisciplinary studies at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Free University of Brussels).
CLEA is part of an international effort initiated, funded, and directed by Human Energy to provide a scientific foundation for a theory of the noosphere. Their research builds on the related concepts of the Global Brain and the distributed intelligence of the Internet. In addition, CLEA is working with HEP to develop an integrated, meaningful, science-based worldview called the Third Story.
Francis's work delves into to many aspects of these subjects, which he describes thusly:
"The main focus of my research is the origin and evolution of complex, and in particular intelligent, organization. How do systems emerge, self-organize, adapt and achieve some form of cognition? I approach these problems starting from an ontology of actions or processes: the building blocks of reality are not material particles or "things", but interactions. Systems are then merely self-maintaining networks of processes, as elegantly modelled by the formalism of COT. I have worked in particular on the development of collective intelligence or distributed cognition, and its application to the emerging "global brain". I have also been looking at how individual agents tackle challenges via action, exploration, and learning, and how their interactions become coordinated via connectionist networks and stigmergy.
"I use the underlying action ontology as a foundation for the integration of ideas from different disciplines into an evolutionary-cybernetic "world view" , which is to replace the static and reductionist Newtonian worldview. This broad evolutionary view, together with its practical applications on the Internet, has helped me to develop a broad, but concrete vision on the future of the information society. The main idea is that humanity is undergoing a metasystem transition towards a higher level of organization and distributed intelligence that can be conceived as a "Global Brain".
The "metasystem transition toward a higher level of organization" is what is often referred to throughout the Science of the Noosphere conversations as a major evolutionary transition, a process that is central to David Sloan Wilson's work. In this conversation, Francis and David engage in a lively discussion of where their work overlaps, and in some cases takes different perspectives on how a transition to global cooperation may proceed.
One interesting point is the role of Adam Smith's famous "invisible hand" — simply stated, whether higher-level functional organization can emerge entirely from many lower-level interactions working from the bottom up, or some kind of higher-level regulatory network is necessary. Whereas at first they seem to disagree on this point, by the close of the conversation their views seem much closer.

WASHINGTON – WND, the oldest and largest independent Internet news agency with an audience of some 6 million, has been rejected by the Democratic National Committee Press Gallery for credentialed coverage of the convention in Charlotte, N.C., in September.
The DNC emailed WND this week blaming limited space and overwhelming requests.
"Unfortunately, due to limited space and an overwhelming number of requests for credentials through the DNCC Press Gallery, we are unable to grant your request for credentials to attend the 2012 Democratic National Convention," explained the email.
WND co-founder Joseph Farah, a veteran newsman who ran daily newspapers in major metropolitan markets for decades before launching WND, said he isn't buying the space limitation excuse.
Farah said he is certain many media outlets with far less reach will be credentialed by the Democrats. WND, he pointed out is one of the top 400 websites of any kind in the U.S. – far bigger, for instance, than MSNBC.com, which will certainly be represented in Charlotte.
The Republican Party provided WND with full accreditation for its convention in Tampa.
Farah pledged to redouble WND's efforts at reporting on the activities of the Democrats – from inside or outside the tent.

I hate preconceived notions of whats expected of me.. don't tag me with some stereotype. Some image that mainstream media and ignorant rumors have created just because you see the color of my skin. I am me, I love everyone, I am far from perfect but I never set out to hurt anyone, I fully believe that what we put into this world is what we receive from it, I love hard, I'm overly sensitive, I fear success almost as much as I crave it but currently the desire to just be more, do more, and fight for more is what is winning out. My heart has been broken, coated over and shaking pretty bad right now. I'm angry with the world but it also pushed me forward. I am loyal and ride or die when my heart is involved. I am powerful, I am hip-hop and I'm a simple chic from a small city in VA who found herself in a city with potential, a city that accepted and molded me, whose music scene has changed my life, is providing me growth and accomplishments. A city where the waterways are my refuge and the people are my energy. I am VA. I am FL. I am always Duval. I have curves for days, thick lips and hazel eyes. I know my positives and I focus on those because I also know the power of the Law of Attraction and learning how to make my life work for me. I am not some image you can paint in a perfect little box. Some description in the dictionary of a word you have characterized with a certain type of white female.. you see I can only be Kris and that is all I want to be!
Think twice before categorizing me!

Q: Using headset controls like a smart phone I have a generic pair of smartphone earphones that have the button (along with a microphone) and I would like to use the button as a pause/play key in Ubuntu, like I would on an Android phones music player.
Is there a way to enable this headset control in Ubuntu?
If the headset controls are a hardware feature of audio jacks used in Android phones, the name of that hardware (audio jack) would be appreciated.

A: Traditional stereo headphones have only three leads, while ones with a microphone and/or the "button" have four.  In order for the microphone or the button to work on your machine, the headphone jack must also have four leads (which is unlikely) and the drivers you're using must also support the fourth lead.
It is unlikely that the manufacturer would provide hardware without driver support, so if you still have the manufacturer-provided OS installed, you could boot into that and test the button there.  If it works there but not in Ubuntu, then it's probably a lack of driver support.

A: Sorry to say this. Same kind of socket is there and it depends on the architecture of operating system and has patent rights that are not open to all except Apple. Follow this conversation headset button reactions.
Iam not allowed to link more than two items so here is the detailed description of how i converted my laptop's two TRS sockets to a TRRS socket.


Leopard print, polka dots, lace, stripes, hot pink, neon color, the list goes on and on! Bras are so festive and colorful and they hold the girls in place, :wink wink: if you know what I mean. What's the big deal? It's a bra! Or, if you want to be technical, it's a brasier! Whether you are an A cup, in training or have full blown breast (yes, full blown), bras are awesome! I recently came to this realization over the weekend! Let's rewind. You see, I'm not much of a girly girl. Sometimes I wish I was (not really). Most girls I know are into perfumes, fragrances and bras! I'm such a Plain Jane. I'm not big on perfumes and things like that or on bras, however this weekend changed my life! I had a life changing moment! I went bra shopping! Good old Victoria's Secret saved my life! If you know me, I am cheap, so you know I had a gift card! I ended up getting an extra $10 off my purchase of 2 bras! Can I tell you that these bras fit and I just want to tell the world!? No seriously… I never experienced a bra that actually fit. I use to wear super padded bras, or my sisters old bra for years (Don't judge me)! I had learn to be confident in my breast size (that's a whole different story)! So, no more padding, well not so much anyway. I have just enough so that when I get cold you don't see my ni-----..ANYWHOOO! T.M.I!
I also bought fragrances from Bath & Body (they had a sale too)! It was great! I felt like a "girly girl." I never knew that a good fitting bra could put a smile on your face! So, no matter if your breasts are small, or if they are not, make sure you get a bra that fits! Keep the girls on lock. I promise, you will feel great and will want to tell everyone! Just make sure you don't go around showing everyone. Accept your breast size!
Check out the WYCTV1 YouTube page where I talked about breasts! Click here!
Yes! I am glad you agree NaKeara! :-) Thanks for commenting!

Small creatures with a big impact
Why the German government is making a big effort to protect bees.
In need of protection: honey bees collecting pollen. dpa
The whole world is worried about bees. World Bee Day on 20 May will focus attention on this useful insect, populations of which are at risk and are also declining in Germany. Bees even figure in the German government's coalition agreement, which states that "Protecting bees is something that is particularly close to our heart". The government has set itself the goal of preserving biodiversity and ensuring eco-friendly agriculture. Its "Insect Protection Action Programme" is intended to improve living conditions for insects, among other things by imposing stricter conditions on the use of agricultural pesticides.
Why are politicians in Germany concerned about bees?
There are good reasons for this. Bees are regarded as the third most important production animal – after cattle and pigs. Bees also play an irreplaceable role in the human diet, pollinating a large number of all fruit, vegetable and animal feed crops and making a key contribution to biodiversity. Around 80 percent of plants in Germany rely on pollination by bees. "Bees are vital to the system", is how Germany's agricultural minister Julia Klöckner concisely put it in her government declaration.
If the output of honey bees were expressed as a monetary value, it would total 153 billion euros per year on a global basis. This was the figure calculated by scientists from France and Germany in a study published in 2009 in the journal "Ecological Economics".
Why are bees dying?
Scientists are seeing an alarming decline in bee populations worldwide. This is due among other things to monocultures and the use of crop pesticides in conventional agriculture. Half of the 570 or so species of wild bees in Germany are at risk of extinction.
This is why Germany supported the EU's decision in April 2018 to ban neonicotinoids, a group of bee-harming pesticides, in outdoor cultivation. In addition, it is not permitted in Germany to sow rapeseed, corn and grain seeds that have been treated with these pesticides. The controversial pesticide glyphosate is also to be banned permanently from fields in Germany. To this end, the government is working out a joint strategy in cooperation with farmers.
What else is Germany doing to protect bees?
Together with the German Beekeepers Association, the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) staged the first international bee conference in 2017, at which 500 international participants debated ways to protect bees.
A Germany-wide initiative entitled "Deutschland summt!" (i.e. Germany is buzzing!) is appealing for more bees in towns and cities. Beekeeping is becoming increasingly popular across Germany, and there is a boom in urban beekeeping. Increasing numbers of young city-dwellers are simply installing hives on their balconies.
The "Bundestag bees" enjoy particular state protection: since 2016, the Bundestag courtyard has been home to a beehive. Each year, three bee populations produce 80 to 100 kilograms of honey, which is sold as "Bundestag blossom". All profits are used to support bee-friendly projects.
Which institutions in Germany conduct research into bees?
They include the Bee Research Institute which is affiliated to Goethe University in Frankfurt, and research institutions of the federal states such as the Institute for Bee Research, which is jointly supported by Berlin, Brandenburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Saxony and Thuringia.
Bonn – capital city of biodiversity
The aim of the IPBES in Bonn is to ensure that no one can ignore the issue of species protection.

"There has been a black community in Vancouver since before there was a Vancouver." Wayde Compton
Hogan's Alley was part of the ethnically diverse East End, centred between Prior and Union and Main and Jackson. It was home to much of Vancouver's Black community and included businesses such as Vie's Chicken and Steak House on Union and the Pullman Porters' Club on Main. The neighbourhood was a popular cultural hub before mid-twentieth century urban renewal schemes and the Georgia Viaduct Replacement Project demolished many of its buildings.
Hogan's Alley was the unofficial name for a T-shaped intersection at the southwestern edge of Strathcona that formed the nucleus of Vancouver's first concentrated black community. Vancouver's first archivist, J.S. Matthews (see Major Matthews' House), noted that the name "Hogan's Alley" was in use by 1914.
The first black immigrants arrived in British Columbia from California in 1858. They settled in Victoria and Salt Spring Island, but began migrating to Vancouver in the early 1900s, making their homes in Strathcona, an east side, working-class neighborhood that was the original home to Vancouver's Italian community, as well as the southern edge of Chinatown. They were joined by black homesteaders from Alberta, who originally came from Oklahoma, and by black railroad porters worked at the Great Northern Railway nearby. Housing discrimination in other parts of Vancouver also concentrated the city's black population in this area.
Black cultural institutions the neighbourhood was known for included "chicken house" restaurants, which often doubled as speakeasies — best known was Vie's Chicken and Steak house — as well as the African Methodist Episcopal Fountain Chapel (founded in 1923) and the residential quarters of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. At its height in the 1940s, the black population in Strathcona numbered approximately 800.
The neighbourhood was home to Nora Hendrix, grandmother to rock legend Jimi Hendrix and a cook at Vie's Chicken and Steak House. Nora Hendrix was involved in the community from the 1920s through to its demise, remaining nearby until the 1980s. Jimi Hendrix is known to have visited his grandmother during his childhood. Other performers from the community include the singer and actor Thelma Gibson-Towns and her brother Leonard Gibson, whose Negro Workshop Dance Group led to his work with Ballet British Columbia.
Over the years, the black population endured efforts by the city to rezone Strathcona making it difficult to obtain mortgages or make home improvements, and by newspaper articles portraying Hogan's Alley as a centre of squalor, immorality and crime. Beginning in 1967, the City of Vancouver began leveling the western half of Hogan's Alley to construct an interurban freeway through Hogan's Alley and Chinatown. The freeway was ultimately stopped, but construction of the first phase – the Georgia viaduct – was completed in 1971. In the process, the western end of Hogan's Alley was expropriated and several blocks of houses were demolished. Since the demise of Hogan's Alley, no identifiably Black neighbourhood has emerged in Vancouver, but organizations like the British Columbia Association for the Advancement of Coloured People and festivals such as Caribbean Days and Black History Month have brought community members together.
In recent years, there have been significant efforts to commemorate the neighbourhood, through community and government initiatives such as a stamp issued by Canada Post in February 2014 as part of Black History Month. Artists such as Andrea Fatona and Cornelia Wyngaarden, Wayde Compton, and Stan Douglas, have explored Hogan's Alley in their work. With the confirmation of the Georgia Street viaducts removal, there are plans for a Black Cultural Centre on the former site of Hogan's Alley.
