Yemen peace talks give little hope for displaced civilians | News
Hodeidah, Yemen – Attiyah Dahfash has spent more than three years internally displaced as a result of the war in Yemen.
The 48-year-old was the head teacher of the only government-run school in al-Ko'ea, a hamlet south of Yemen's Red Sea port city of Hodeidah. The hamlet was largely made up of Dahfash's own extended family, and he and his family were able to live a relatively quiet life tending to their livestock and beehives.
However, like many Yemenis, Dahfash's life has been upended by the war in his country.
Along with his three elder brothers and their families, Dahfash was forced to abandon his rural life and flee when fighting between Iran-allied Houthi rebels and Saudi-led coalition-backed forces arrived in al-Ko'ea in mid-2017.
According to Dahfash, by August 2018, the fighting had led to the deaths of 33 members of his family, mostly women and children, forcing the rest to flee.
"More than three years into our displacement and we are unable to return to our homes," Dahfash told Al Jazeera from his new home in the capital, Sanaa. "We are unable to see or get together with our family members, who are all displaced in different areas."
Dahfash left al-Ko'ea a few months before the Stockholm Agreement was signed by Yemen's warring parties in December 2018.
The deal stopped an offensive by the Joint Forces, a Saudi-led coalition backed group, to take Houthi-held Hodeidah city, which is a major port of entry for food, goods and oil.
The United Nations feared that a continuation of the fighting in Hodeidah would lead to famine in Yemen.
(Al Jazeera)
Yet, despite the Stockholm Agreement, fighting continued in Hodeidah, meaning that a return to al-Ko'ea was not safe for Dahfash or his family.
The situation highlighted how the Stockholm Agreement was never fully implemented, despite the international community's best wishes.
Fighters from both sides were never redeployed as agreed, and hostilities never actually ceased, particularly in the southern districts of Hodeidah governorate.
The fight for Hodeidah has left hundreds of people dead and injured, and drove thousands of families from their homes. Even though coalition-backed forces have now withdrawn from Hodeidah city and its environs, the city's eastern and southern outskirts are still infested with landmines.
Riyadh Consultations
An end to the Yemeni conflict might eventually allow Dahfash and his family to return home.
A weeklong round of consultations kicked off in Saudi Arabia's capital, Riyadh, on Tuesday, with that goal in mind. But it had one major problem – the absence of the Houthis, who control the majority of Yemen's major population centres.
The Houthis were invited, but rejected the invitation from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), and said they would instead welcome talks with the Saudi-led coalition at a neutral venue, including in other Gulf states.
"It is neither logical, nor fair that the host of the talks is also the sponsor of war and blockade," the Houthi movement said in a statement published on their official news agency.
Instead, the Houthis stepped up their own missile and drone attacks on several areas in Saudi Arabia, including one last Friday near a Jeddah racetrack that was hosting Formula One motor racing, before announcing a three-day unilateral ceasefire on Saturday.
The Saudi-led coalition then announced its own 30-day halt to military operations on Wednesday, which followed a UN call for a truce during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
However, in a statement released on Wednesday, the Houthis' Supreme Political Council said that if Saudi Arabia did not agree to end its air raids and blockade of Houthi-controlled ports, it would continue to fight.
"The Yemeni leadership and people will retain their full right to take whatever political and military steps it deems appropriate in a manner that guarantees their legitimate rights," the statement said.
With unilateral ceasefires declared by both Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, and with no positive response from each side, peace for Yemenis appears to be hanging by a thread.
"The Riyadh talks are an attempt by the Saudi government to achieve its own objectives, rather than the objective of peace for Yemenis," Abdulghani al-Iryani, a senior researcher at the Sanaa Center for Strategic Studies, told Al Jazeera.
"It may result in some kind of consensus among anti-Houthi forces, which would probably reduce the superiority of the Houthis on the battlefront, and, therefore, create the necessary balance that would make a cessation of hostilities possible," he added.
However, in al-Iryani's opinion, that was the most that could be hoped for out of the Riyadh talks.
For Dahfash and his family, that may mean a prolonged stay away from their homes in al-Ko'ea.
"It has been eight years of war now; my family members are still scattered in different places," Dahfash said. "We are so exhausted, and just hope that the war will end some day, and we can return safe to our hometown."

The DWP is about to get a very public wake up call
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is facing a backlash from claimants and others. Because on Thursday 30 August, people will be very publicly drawing attention to its alleged 'crimes'.
The DWP: facing a backlash
A Twitterstorm is happening at 7pm on 30 August. It's where people use a hashtag during a specific time slot to draw attention to a campaign or issue. Using the hashtag #DWPcrimes, people will be sharing their experiences of the DWP, news stories about it, and evidence of its treatment of claimants.
People are already using it and another hashtag, #LegacyMcVey – to highlight work and pensions secretary Esther McVey's record:
Here's an attempt at beginnings of poster. Please if anyone who knows what they're doing could do one would be most grateful to advertise
TWITTERSTORM

There are several reasons why a Twitterstorm about the DWP is relevant. Not least is the appalling reality of claimants' lives.
As The Canary has extensively documented, the DWP's conduct has been under the spotlight for many years.
Crimes against claimants
Just last week, a charity revealed it's taking the department to court on behalf of two claimants. They believe the DWP wrongly stopped their benefits. This will be at least the fifth court case against the DWP in less than a year.
Since June 2016, there have been five international reports accusing the government of breaching various legal agreements on the human rights of sick and disabled people. One UN committee accused successive governments and the DWP of "grave" and "systematic" violations of disabled people's human rights. Its chair went as far as to say both had created a "human catastrophe" for disabled people.
Also, there have been numerous reports into the number of deaths on the DWP's watch. In 2015, there was outrage as the DWP revealed thousands of people had died after it declared them fit for work. A university study found that an "additional" 590 people taking their own lives was linked to the WCA process. This has, in part, led to allegations from the Green Party of a potential DWP "cover-up" over the number of deaths on its watch.
And just days ago, The Canary revealed that 100 people a day have been dying while on Employment and Support Allowance, in the Work-Related Activity Group. The DWP puts people in this group because it says they're well enough to start moving towards work. But it did not openly publish information about these deaths. A Freedom of Information request (FOI) forced it to do so.
The value of social media
But something else makes the #DWPcrimes Twitterstorm relevant. Social media is quite often the only outlet sick, disabled, and unemployed people have. An outlet to show their anger and frustration at the DWP.
When you're living on DWP welfare, paying for everyday essentials can often be a struggle; see the blogs of Alex Tiffin and Charlotte Hughes. If you're chronically ill or disabled, leaving the house is often not possible, and paying travel to get to demonstrations may often be out of the question. As such, social media has become a lifeline for many. It connects them to people and campaigns they would never have had the chance to engage with before.
The #DWPcrimes Twitterstorm is a perfect example of this. So, if the DWP has affected you or someone you know, join in at 7pm on 30 August. It could be a good time to let the world know what you think of the department.
– Check out the #DWPcrimes hashtag, support the blogs Universal Credit Sufferer and The Poor Side of Life and get involved with Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC), fighting for disabled people's rights.

A perfect summer night, Beer and Wine, and a great downtown adventure equal a one of a kind Fort Wayne experience - Pedal City. It's official, this new downtown craze is perfect for a birthday night out with friends, and so our adventure began! For two hours our 30 party goers rode down the streets of downtown in complete laughter and excitement over the thrill of this crazy bike, and our ridiculous party hats of course. Each bike comes with a designated driver that gives you the option to create your own route. Considering there is a little work involved, we decided to take a couple stops, so why not the Brass Rail? Although most of our group had experienced the local bar, it felt like a new trip for everyone, c'mon it's not every day you pedal a 15 seat bike with friends.
Off we went to our next stop, a downtown favorite hot spot, JK O'Donnell's, what better place to enjoy good beer and friends! Two bikes and thirty adults later, we were all in cahoots to hangout on Wayne Street and take in the downtown atmosphere. Let's recap, good friends, a beautiful downtown night, and a mobile bar, need I say more?
We ended our journey where we began the birthday shenanigans, Club Soda, and of course with a memorable picture. It's safe to say, our trip was a success, and all thirty peddlers would recommend Pedal City to anyone searching for a unique way to enjoy downtown and company with friends. But don't forget the fun doesn't have to end with Pedal City; there is always plenty of fun to be had in downtown Fort Wayne!


Craig just came back from San Francisco, and he brought some beer back with him! Craig also spins yarns about his trip and we try to diversify our advertising porfolio with Nabisco and Tums. Let our mouths take your ears to the wild, wild west.
We send off the Pipeworks Ninjas (in name) in style by throwing them a retirement party for the ages. To complement these massive double IPAs, we taste two varieties of delicious Bee's Knees nuts. We also play the new beer reviewing game that we invented that's rapidly going viral: Beers Against Humanity.
Six of the most beloved double IPAs are on the menu for this show, and we drunkenly try to make sense of how to rank them. Also, we talk about Craig's travelling philosophy, and Dennis stops by the microphone to do the only two impressions he can. Plus, Ryan gets really drunk and lets Craig know his true feelings about their friendship.
We put four Chicago barrel aged beers to the test. Plus our first contest and the debut of our theme song!

Le phare de San Juan del Salvamento, dit le « Phare du bout du monde » (en ), est un phare situé en Patagonie d'Argentine, sur l'île des États (Isla de los Estados), au large de la péninsule Mitre (Terre de Feu argentine).

Jules Verne s'en est inspiré pour son roman Le Phare du bout du monde, édité en 1905, peu après sa mort.

Par son appellation « phare du bout du monde », le phare de San Juan del Salvamento est souvent confondu avec le phare les Éclaireurs situé sur le canal Beagle, en face d'Ushuaïa.

Description
Le phare de San Juan del Salvamento est érigé sur un promontoire rocheux à  au-dessus du niveau de la mer, à Punta Lasserre, à l'ouest de Puerto San Juan del Salvamento. C'est un phare en bois peint de couleur blanche, de forme hexadécagonale, avec une hauteur totale de  et un diamètre de . Sa boule sommitale caractéristique en zinc a un mètre de diamètre. À sa construction, le phare projetait un  faisceau  lumineux produit par sept lampes fonctionnant à l'huile de colza sur deux faces de son polygone, à travers des lentilles de Fresnel. Depuis sa rénovation en 1998, le faisceau a une portée de  sur un angle de 93°, est alimenté par des panneaux solaires et émet un éclat lumineux toutes les .

Outre sa fonction de phare, sa configuration et son accès libre lui permettent d'avoir une vocation de « refuge aux naufragés ». On y trouve de quoi dormir, se nourrir et se chauffer mais sans vocation touristique, l'île des États étant protégée par son statut de réserve naturelle.

Histoire
Construit à l'initiative du gouvernement argentin, le phare est inauguré le  par l'expédition du commandant Augusto Lasserre. Remplacé dans sa fonction par le phare Año Nuevo construit en 1902 et mieux situé, le phare San Juan del Salvamento est laissé à l'abandon et tombe en ruine rapidement du fait des conditions climatiques extrêmes.

Ses vestiges sont découverts en 1994 par le Français André Bronner, dit « Yul » (et parfois, par certains, depuis cette aventure « Yul Verne », ses vieux amis continuant à l'appeler  ), un aventurier de La Rochelle, qui entreprend de le faire reconstruire afin de favoriser les échanges culturels entre la France et l'Argentine. Le projet mobilise une équipe de dix personnes en 1997 : Jan Kamerbeek, Éric Lelaurain, Daniel Nouraud, Jean Sécheresse, Sylvain Berthommé, Pascal Ducourtioux, Guillaume Mérigeaux, Gilbert Maurel, Gildas Flahault et André Bronner lui-même en collaboration avec les Ateliers Perrault Frères. Le , après deux mois de chantier intense dans des conditions très difficiles, le phare fonctionne à nouveau.

Mais le phare n'est pas reconstruit a l'identique, et sa forme de hexadécagonale est simplifiée en octogone. La reconstruction a aussi abimé les fondations d'origine.

Toujours dans cette idée de rapprochement culturel avec l'Argentine, l'équipe d'André Bronner décide de construire en France une réplique de ce phare. Situé à  de distance, à la pointe des Minimes à La Rochelle, le « phare du Bout du Monde de La Rochelle » est inauguré le . Un troisième exemplaire de ce bâtiment existe dans le muséo del présidio, dans la ville d'Ushuaia.

En 1999, par le décret national , le site du phare de San Juan de Salvamento est déclaré monument historique national de la République argentine (Monumento Histórico Nacional).

Littérature
Jules Verne rédige en 1901 le roman intitulé  Le Phare du bout du monde qui sera publié en feuilleton, après sa mort, légèrement modifié  par son fils Michel Verne. Dans l'une de ses pages, le roman décrit le phare : La tour était d'une extrême solidité, bâtie avec les matériaux fournis par l'île des États. Les pierres d'une grande dureté, maintenues par des entretoises de fer, appareillées avec une grande précision, emboîtées, les unes dans les autres à queue d'aronde, formaient une paroi capable de résister aux violentes tempêtes, aux ouragans terribles qui se déchaînent si fréquemment sur cette lointaine limite des deux plus vastes océans du globe. Ainsi que l'avait dit Vasquez, le vent ne l'emporterait pas, cette tour.

Press release: The Board appoints Richard Drouin and Pierre Martin as representatives of the business community at SOPRAM
The Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal appoints Richard Drouin and Pierre Martin as representatives of the business community at SOPRAM
Pierre Laferrière, president, Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal
Montreal, May 26, 2000 – The president of the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal, Pierre Laferrière, today announced the appointment of Richard Drouin and Pierre Martin as representatives of the business community at the Société de promotion des aéroports de Montréal (SOPRAM).
Mr. Drouin, a partner at the law firm of McCarthy Tétrault, will occupy the post vacated by Nycol Pageau-Goyette at the end of her term.
President and CEO of Alstom Canada, Mr. Martin will be reappointed to the seat he accepted in 1998.
The management of the Board of Trade is very pleased to be able to count on such illustrious and highly reputable business representatives. "We're convinced that these two talented managers will make a significant contribution to airport development in the metropolitan area, especially at a time when major expansion and renovation work is underway at Dorval," concluded Mr. Laferrière.
The Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal has more than 7 000 members. Its mission is to be the leading group representing the interests of the Greater Montreal business community. The objectives are to maintain, at all times, relevance to its membership, credibility towards the public and influence towards government and decision-makers.


The easiest way to "clay"!
Using a clay bar to remove embedded surface contaminants was a stroke of genius – how else could we hope to achieve that perfect look without them!? But, such as life, things have evolved and we now have an alternate to using a traditional clay bar. BLACKFIRE Clay Mitt works the same way as a standard clay bar, but with a much easier application!
Rather than having to knead your clay bar multiple times during a detail, you can simply rinse away removed contaminants from the mitt and continue on! And if BLACKFIRE Clay Mitt is dropped during use, you don't have to throw it away, just rinse and keep going! You're now able to combine two previously separate steps – the washing and the claying – into one!
Use BLACKFIRE Clay Lubricant to allow your BLACKFIRE Clay Mitt to move freely across the surface to remove embedded paint contaminants.
Removing contaminants from your paint is an important step in detailing, but that doesn't mean it has to be hard! BLACKFIRE Clay Mitt will remove embedded surface contaminants such as over-spray, road grime, dirt, industrial fall-out, tree sap, and more and will allow you to have the perfect gloss and finish you're always working for!
The Blackfire Clay Mitt is manufactured with a protective coating that must be removed before use. Simply use the Clay Mitt as directed on glass to remove the coating.
When using the Clay Mitt during your regular washing routine, first remove all loose dirt and debris.

Mike Dunleavy Out 8-10 Weeks After Back Surgery
by SLAM Staff September 26, 2015
Mike Dunleavy had lower back surgery and will be out 8-10 weeks, the Bulls announced on Friday.
The surgery will cause the Bulls' starting small forward to miss at least 10 games to start the season.
More from the Chicago Tribune:
With Bulls training camp imminent, a familiar theme resurfaced.
The Bulls announced that starting small forward Mike Dunleavy underwent a lower-back microdiscectomy Friday at Rush University Medical Center. Dunleavy, 35, will miss eight to 10 weeks, including training camp, which starts Tuesday.
The news on Dunleavy, who resisted strong overtures from LeBron James and the Cavaliers to re-sign with a three-year, $14.4 million deal, comes on top of Taj Gibson coming off left ankle surgery and Joakim Noah trying to prove he has put behind him the left knee troubles he experienced last season.
If Dunleavy, who shot 40.7 percent from 3-point range last season, sits eight weeks, he would miss 12 regular-season games. If he's out 10 weeks, that would rise to 16 games.

Red, White & Blue Pinwheels is rated 3.3 out of 5 by 15.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kristin20871 from Great quality. These pinwheels will last for several parties. We used these in centerpieces for a couples backyard baby shower. The price is so low and the quality is first class.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Cappuccino1 from Worth the purchase price. Had read the reviews about some arriving damaged, so ordered extra, figuring on losing some. Ordered 108. But only 7 were damaged--not bad, considering the price. Needs assembly, and you need to remove a pesky sticker tag from the sticks.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Xgirl from Don't Don't buy these. The wood sticks bleed color onto your hands. They are small and odd. The paper pin wheel looks cheap and some look discolored. During shipping some will get smashed. Definitely not safe for children running around.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Wind2017 from Good pinwheel Well made pinwheel for the price.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Cat1983 from Cute Pinwheels, Poor packaging and cheap sticks! I bought these pinwheels for my child's 1st birthday and they arrived in the box all crushed, some bent, torn, some in good shape. The pinwheel part is very cute but the stick is cheap looking and looks like it can give splinters. I wouldn't buy them again.
Rated 5 out of 5 by fitfilipina from Awesome party favors I was initially reluctant to order because of the poor reviews. I was surprised that all of the pinwheels were close to perfect.
Rated 2 out of 5 by MissOCD from Red, White and Blue Pinwheels These pinwheels appear smaller than I expected even though I made note of the measurements prior to purchasing. More than half of the paper pinwheels arrived either torn or severely bent/creased. The wooden sticks are cheap looking and the colors are weird faded colors of navy, red and turquoise. The navy looks like a faded purple and the red looks pink! The only thing I like about the pinwheels are the four different patterns on the pinwheels and the fact that they actually spin. I only needed to use five out of the 36 for a 'floral' arrangement so they served their purpose for me. Otherwise, I would not recommend these! Don't waste your money.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Guchi from Cute but.... You see a little stamp of oriental trading co on the pinwheel and about a dozen were broken and fell apart.
Rated 4 out of 5 by NEwife from Great Price - Very Cute We used these in our center pieces and then let little ones take them home. While it was a great price and that they are very cute...don't get them wet. The color was bleeding when got wet.
Rated 2 out of 5 by STeacher from inconvenient and disappointing. To get enough pinwheels for my class Science project, I ordered extra. They didn't even send me enough sticks for the 25 I needed. I had to go ahead with the lesson, so my husband made more sticks.

Got some exciting stuff in work for helping "reed-harp" players see the potential in what these little instruments can do with "Celtic-Style" music. We got folk all over the world who play these little instruments, from beginner stages to "very skilled." TradConnect is a great meeting place for "like minded folk."
For my part, I like writing arrangements for playing the "diatonic harmonicas" with Celtic, Folk, Old Time/Bluegrass music, and I'm hoping that my contributions help others as well. It's part of my "song-catching" hobby, and I get to meet a lot of really great people with new and different ways in playing the "out of the box," Richter-scaled, ten-hole, diatonic harmonicas. This "internet session group" is a nice way of getting connected with other folk about our favorite instrument.

MediaTakeOut.com learned that Meek Mill and Nicki Minaj are OFFICIALLY OVER. The two have been ON AND OFF for almost two years, but now the break is official.
We confirmed the break up with a person inside Nicki's INNER CIRCLE. And the insider explained what happened with the couple.
The insider explained, "Nicki and Meek are not on the same page. Meek still wants to go to the hood, hang out with his boys and ride bikes. Nicki's into refined things, like museums and fashion shows."
The insider continued, "They both have similar pasts, so they hit it off. But Nicki is no longer in a 'hood mentality' and Meek is. One day he'll grow up and maybe they'll get back together."
We asked whether the decision for the couple to break up was mutual - but it wasn't. The MTO insider tells us, "Nicki wanted to leave, Meek wants her back."

"Clarity in construction raised to its precise expression. This is what I consider architecture"
Mies van der Rohe (1886–1969) was born in Aachen in 1886 with the name of Maria Ludwig Michael Mies, the son of a stonemason whose workshop he worked as a young man for a number of years. Between 1903 and 1904 he had the opportunity to work with Max Fisher, for whom he created stucco decorations and, between 1905 and 1907 – having moved to Berlin – he designed furniture for Bruno Paul. From 1906 to 1908 he attended both the Kunstgewerbeschule and the Hochschule für Bildende Künste (both Fine Arts Academies), and the following year he was employed by one of the most important architects of the time, Peter Beherens (where Walter Gropius already worked), with whom he stayed until the opening of his own firm in 1912.
In 1922, Mies joined the Novembergruppe, an artists' association set up in Germany in 1918 as part of the expressionist movement with the aim of creating a form of art which responded to the demands of popular life and work. The group, which counted amongst its most active members Bruno Taut, founded the Arbeitsrat für Kunst, attracting the memberships of other architects (Poelzig, Behrens, Mendelsohn and Scharoun), as well as sculptors, painters, poets and musicians. These figures all exhibited their works in numerous shows which took place until 1928, often hosted at the Grosse Kunstausstellung in Berlin and organised by Mies van der Rohe between 1922 and 1925.
In 1924 he was one of the founders of Zehener Ring, a group of ten architects (as well as Mies, it included Otto Bartining, Walter Curt Behrendt, Gropius, Hugo Häring, Ludwig Hilberseimer, Mendelsohn, Poelzig, Bruno and Max Taut) united against the dominant trend in public German architecture at the time to propose buildings which were inspired by historical styles. The group's battle for modernity was expressed through intense activity promoting cultural propaganda and publishing essays and articles by the various members. In 1923 Mies also began collaborating with the magazine "G. Material fur elementate Gestaltung", through the editing of which he had the opportunity to meet Dadasits, neo-plasticists, constructivists and surrealists. This period saw the emergence of the first reflections on the use of glass for the construction of rarefied and apparently light volumes, which was later to become Mies van der Rohe's preferred method, with the unbuilt design for a skyscraper in Friedrichstrasse, Berlin (1921) and, a year later, that for a completely transparent tower.
In 1926, on behalf of Deutsche Werkbund for which he held the role of vice president between 1926 and 1933, Mies obtained the contract for the organisation of the exhibition "Die Wohnung", and designed the master plan for the Stuttgart Weissenhof, the model district which was created as a public demonstration of the potential of modern industrial production techniques in the residential field. Sixty habitats of diverse type and size, created by the best designers of the time and promoted as an integral part of urban residential development, were produced to promote the experimental construction methods both for homes and the furniture which was destined for the various units, and were inaugurated in September 1927, organised in a suburb which followed the latest concepts of contemporary urban planning. One of the residences was designed by Mies himself, and was made up of four different blocks, each of which had six apartments of varying size, illuminated by large windows and supported by an innovative metal load-bearing structure, with standardised prefabricated components which, among other things, allowed for the modulation of the interiors according to the requirements of the inhabitants. Two of these homes were also furnished by the German designer, who did so by reducing to a minimum the number of items, many of which were in reality integrated into the walls and therefore virtually invisible.
Focused on low cost and lightness, the furniture proposed – not only by Mies van der Rohe – provoked quite a stir, as the designs were based on the use of tubular steel, a choice which went against the conventions of the time, in which this type of furniture, although already present, was generally limited to use on terraces and in gardens. Specifically, Mies van der Rohe presented at Weissenhof a cantilever chair which, according to the designer, was supposed to give the impression of sitting on nothing, thanks to the use of a single piece of tubular steel which created a seat without back legs, supported instead by a U-shaped base. Produced in a short run in order to demonstrate the type of furniture considered to be suitable for a modern home, the chair in reality later went into mass production, and was a great success. As was the case with the majority of items designed by Mies, generally dating back to the very short period between 1926 and 1931, the Weissenhof chair was not created for mass production.

In 1929, the architect from Aquisgrana constructed what was to become one of the most iconic buildings of the 20th century and modernism in general, the celebrated German pavilion for the Universal Exposition in Barcelona, a building whose level of construction skill and spatial fluidity – the result of the studied application of construction techniques for the metal framework – became benchmarks for the work to follow, resulting, for example, in the creation of the splendid Villa Tugendhat in Brno (1928-1930) in ex-Czechoslovakia. For this house, Mies van der Rohe also designed a series of built-in furniture, including a sophisticated table with a wooden top set on a chrome base which was fixed to the floor and had the same form as the pillars on which the house itself was set; for the pavilion, he designed the famous "Barcelona" chair, drawing inspiration from a pair of scissors.

Between 1930 and 1933, Mies van der Rohe was called on to substitute Walter Gropius as director of the Bahaus School, a post he held until the school's definitive closure. Forced to leave Germany for the United States, he moved there permanently in 1938, when he was offered the post of director of the School of Architecture at the Illinois Institute of Technology, for which he re-designed the campus.
This new stage in his career saw works such as Villa Farnsworth in Plano, Illinois (1945-1950), the buildings known as the Lake Shore Drive Apartments in Chicago (1948-1951) and the Seagram Building on Park Avenue, New York (1954-1958).
His last great work however marked his return to German. In 1962, Mies started work for the Neue Nationalgalerie, a project which was to occupy him until just a few months before his death, and which definitively marked the image of the architect who coined the famous motto "less is more". A huge hall - created to house 20th century works of art - supported by just eight pillars, on which the slab creating the roof rests.
In the words of Swiss architecture critic Sigfried Giedion: "Mies van der Rohe is one of the few architects to have consciously decided to base their works on proportions, not simply in the sense of a number which is merely a number, but in the sense that a number possesses both quantitative and qualitative characteristics."

A Leadership Style User Manual
In the interview above, Adam referred back to one of the more provocative ideas that arose from his hundreds of Corner Office interviews with top leaders, a Manager's User Manual. Basically, how great would it be if managers wrote a "user manual" about their leadership style, in which they explain some of their unique preferences and quirks to the people they're managing?
You've in charge of a new department, and your reports are wondering what you're like — your pet peeves, your quirks, and what it takes to earn a couple of gold stars from you. Over a year, they will figure these things out through trial and error, through observation, and maybe through some awkward conversations, you have with them about something they've done or haven't done.
If you buy a car or a new TV, it comes with an instruction manual; however, we humans don't, and we have to work with people who may have never worked with us before. As we don't know how each person works, we what worked in the past, but that is not guaranteed to get optimal results. So why not shorten that inevitable learning curve, and let people know what you're like right up front?
Here is an outline of how to produce a Leadership User Manual.
Step 1 – Rough Cut
Take no more than an hour and answer these questions with the first thing that comes to mind.
When do you like people to approach you, and how?
How do you like people to communicate with you?
How do you make decisions?
How can people help you?
What will you not tolerate in others?
Step Two: First Draft
From the above, you have a rough draft, so now you need to add depth and smooth it out. First, use some other tools to help you refine your manual. Look for clues in assessments you have done in the past. Myers Briggs? Strength Finder? Also, re-read your performance reviews from the last few years for clues.
Step Three: Input & Workshop
Ask your colleagues to answer the questions in step one about you. Ideally, this together around a table rather than over email so that group feedback is incorporated. What is their impression? Once you have their feedback, incorporate it into yours and then share your draft and ask for feedback on what they find accurate, off, or not clear.
Step Four: Finalize
Based on the inputs from your colleagues, make a final edit.
Step Five: Revise
Once a year, dust your manual off and see if it still feels accurate to you and your colleagues. Any new insights?
Abby Falik, Founder and CEO of Global Citizen Year, did this and posted her User Manual on LinkedIn. It is below:
I've been hard-wired as an entrepreneur since I was a kid.
I hover in ambiguity and possibility and am most energized when I'm connecting dots/people/resources that translate challenges into opportunities. I am always scanning for information to feed ideas in my mind and typically do my best thinking out loud.
My high expectations are matched by my commitment to support people in meeting them. I believe in giving people freedom, flexibility, and "stretch" assignments, and equipping them with the tools they need to uncover and develop their potential.
I'm determined to prevent my attention from being hijacked by technology. I never open my computer until I've written my quick list of what I intend to do; I hide my inbox to help me focus, and I've tried to take control of my phone by removing everything that's not a "tool" from my home screen.
What I value
I value resourcefulness and proactivity. Be smart, move fast, and pivot quickly. Ask forgiveness rather than permission.
I'm obsessed with efficiency: I touch each email only once (respond, delete, delegate, or delay), and live by the law of 80/20 – often prioritizing promptness (i.e. 24-hour rule in following up on a meeting) over perfection. I start each day by "eating my frog" when my energy and attention are fresh.
I expect my teammates to value efficiency, as well. Before doing something "the way it's always been done," scan for an easier, cheaper, simpler way to maximize your "return on effort." Before starting something from scratch, ask if it's already been tried.
I value scrappiness and feel an obligation to our staff, Fellows, partners, and donors to focus our limited time and resources on the "real good" vs. the "feel good."
I believe work-life alignment matters more than work-life balance, and that strategic self-care – whether sleeping enough, leaving work early to exercise, meditate, or spend time in nature – is the key ingredient to becoming our best, most productive and happy selves. I am religious about spending time unplugged – a day a week, and a few weeks a year.
What I don't have the patience for
If you make a mistake or something is heading off the rails, tell me before the crash. Failure is great (as long as you learn quickly); surprises are not.
I get antsy with hypothetical musings and over-analysis. I learn best through experience and experimentation and have a strong bias toward action.
I default to trust, but if my confidence is shaken, it's hard to rebuild. Ways to lose my trust: not following through, withholding important information, avoiding hard conversations, or treating others with disrespect.
I am turned off by entitlement, boredom and taking things for granted – it's a privilege to do what we do, and it's our joyful responsibility to take our work seriously, but not ourselves!
How best to communicate with me
Be crisp. Start with the headlines. I prefer bullet points to prose, and .PPT to .DOC.
I love to solve problems, remove barriers and help others move the ball forward. Come to me not just with problems, but with plausible solutions and your recommended course of action.
I value authenticity, honesty, and transparency. If I say something you disagree with, tell me. I am hungry to be challenged in thoughtful and constructive ways. I respect people who have the right blend of confidence and humility to know when to question someone (even the boss!), and when to defer to another's expertise.
How to help me
I move quickly and don't always catch every detail (except when it comes to our brand and communications where I'm a painstaking perfectionist). I appreciate help making sure the details are covered and flagging for me any that need my attention.
Nudge me when it's time to start or end a meeting – but have (some) patience with my flexible approach to time.
Tell me what I need to know, not what you think I want to hear.
What people misunderstand about me
I am an introvert, posing as a professional extrovert. Don't confuse my tendency to work alone in my office with being disengaged. My door's always open.
I speak with conviction, but I'm not set in my thinking. I'm open-minded and always delighted to be shown a better way. I make decisions quickly, but if you give me reasoning or data that points in another direction, I'll happily change course.
Finally, I may be the boss, but I'm also a person, a teammate and a messy work-in-progress. I'm committed to always getting better at my job, and becoming a wiser, kinder and more impactful human.
CEOs and leaders have gotten very positive feedback from their colleagues and subordinates who have received these user manuals. Shouldn't you consider preparing yours?
Wicked! The Queen Lost at Martian Tennis Again, You Shouldn't
Many, if not most, people draw from experience to solve problems, and they do it very effectively. They look at a situation, draw on their expertise, and execute. If you were to ask them, they might even say that they do it without thinking, they are on autopilot. While this works very well in many areas, we find that it doesn't work in all. They are specialists and excellent at what they do. So why does it go Wrong?
My wife and I binge watch the Crown on Netflix, as she loves it, and I, as a Brit, enjoy it as it brings back many memories of the times I lived in England and ex-colonies. However, watching the episode on the Aberfan mining disaster in Season 3, I suddenly reflected on several situations that have all caused significant issues for the Queen.
Aberfan Mining Disaster
Aberfan is a Welsh mining town, and on October 21, 1966, after heavy rains, a landslide of liquified coal waste descended a mountain slope above the town. The mudslide decimated several farm cottages and the Pantglas Junior School resulting in the death of 133 people, mainly children. The Queen delayed her appearance there, despite advice to the contrary. Royal biographer Sally Bechdel Smith claimed this was because the Queen feared her presence would be a distraction to the rescue efforts. Members of the Queen's inner circle at the time have said the Queen does regret not visiting sooner. "I think she felt in hindsight that she might have gone there a little earlier," said Sir William Heseltine, who worked in the royal press office at the time. "It was a sort of lesson for us that you need to show sympathy and to be there on the spot, which I think people craved from her."
Death of Princess Diana
Following her divorce from Prince Charles, Princess Diana had started dating Dodi Al-Fayed, son of Harrod's owner Mohammed Al-Fayed in the summer of 1997. Paparazzi were following the celebrity couple in Paris in the early hours of Sunday, August 31, 1997, when their car crashed and they were both killed. Prince Charles, Prince Philip, and the Queen were first to receive the news, and their reaction was one of "dazed bewilderment," according to royal expert and author Ingrid Seward. The royal family, holidaying at Balmoral, had no idea of the crisis that was about to overwhelm them when they received the news. The British public's reaction to Princess Diana's death was unlike anything the Royal Family or the country had ever seen. Mourners left thousands of floral tributes and messages at the gates of Buckingham Palace. Diana's fans held candlelit vigils and wanted the flag above Buckingham Palace to be raised to half-mast to honor the princess. While against royal protocol, the Royal Family eventually caved to mounting public pressure and pandered to the demand. Furthermore, in an unprecedented Royal move, Princess Diana was even given a state funeral, which thousands of mourners turned out to watch.
Prince Andrew's recent interview on BBC
Prince Andrew appeared on the BBC recently to clear his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and disabuse the notion that he had had sex with a minor provided by Epstein. Many thought that the interview was a bad idea; however, he proceeded, and it was an unmitigated disaster. As a result, Prince Andrew is stepping down from all Royal engagements and has lost most of the corporate support for his various charities.
Looking at these three cases, the commonality in all of them are:
A Royal Response that is Inappropriate for the Time
A Public Reaction which damages the Royal image/brand
With hindsight, it may be easy to say that the Queen and her advisors should have known better, but is that the case? The issue, I would argue, is that the Queen and her advisors are all specialists at the Crown.
We have all heard of the 10,000-Hour Rule made famous by Malcolm Gladwell in Outliers! The claim is that greatness requires enormous time, 10,000 hours of practice. The Queen was brought up to be Queen; she knew all that she needed to know about being Queen. Her advisors, over the years, were well-educated people with great diplomatic backgrounds.
At the time of the Aberfan disaster, her private secretary was Baron Michael Adeane, who had attended Eton and Cambridge. Baron Adeane had been an aide-de-camp to the Governor-General of Canada for two years. He served in World War II and afterward was Assistant Private Secretary to King George VI and Queen Elizabeth for seven years before becoming Queen Elizabeth's Private Secretary. Baron Adeane was a member of the Privy Council, a body of advisors to the sovereign who comprises mainly of senior politicians. Thus, he knew the role of the Monarch and what the country expected, but he failed.
When Princess Diana died, the Queen's private secretary was Baron Robert Fellowes, who was also Diana's brother in law. Baron Fellowes attended Eton and then joined the Scot Guards, after which he entered the banking industry where he was a managing director of Allen and Harvey and Ross for 11 years. He was then recruited to join as Assistant Private Secretary in 1977 and finally became Private Secretary to the Queen in 1990. Again someone who knew the role, the country, the people, and was prepared for his job.
There is no need to go through the latest situation as I am sure the advisors to Prince Andrew were as equally well trained and prepared.
These men had the 10,000 hours of training, they were well educated, they knew their jobs, but it all went wrong. Why?
Research by Daniel Kahneman identified two kinds of environments:
Kind: where a learner improves simply by engaging in the activity and trying to do better, the rules are known, with repeatable patterns. Examples of Kind Environments are Chess and Golf.
Wicked: where experience doesn't improve the results of the specialist because the rules of the game are often unclear or incomplete, there may be no repeating patterns, and often feedback is delayed. Examples of Wicked Environments are emergency rooms, insurgencies.
David Epstein's recent book, Range, Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, defines Wicked environments as "Martian Tennis." You can see the players on the court with balls and rackets, but nobody has shared the rules. It's Martian, so even how things operate in the environment is different. It is up to you derive the rules, and they are subject to change at any time without notice. "
Thus, in all these situations, the Queen and her advisors were playing Martian tennis. The rules had changed; the public expected new things from her, and what worked no longer did so. It was not that she and her advisors were wrong; it was that they were playing the wrong game.
Unfortunately, most of the world is more like Martian tennis than Chess, and that in most fields—especially those that are complex and unpredictable—generalists, not specialists, are primed to excel. According to Epstein to succeed in a Wicked Environment; we don't need specialists, we need generalists, who juggle many interests rather than focusing on one and who are more creative, more agile, and able to make connections between all their area of interest.
Thus when looking for people to lead or advise at top levels, we need to look for people with Range and generalists that can succeed in these Wicked Environments. Ideally we want polymaths, but failing that I would suggest the following three things business leaders can do when looking to hire people with range:
Variety. Look for variety in what the person's interests and activities. Epstein notes that Noble Laureates are more likely to play musical instruments or act than non Noble Laureates.
Experimentation. Look for people who have tried many things before specializing. Not necessarily people who have tried many things and given up, but who have completed them but then changed direction as they seek to maximizing what economists call "match quality," or the degree of fit.
Don't seek precocity. You don't want someone who has done this all their life from an early age. Those people suffer "fadeout" and have not range when shown something outside their expertise.
Along the same lines, James Carse, the NYU professor and religious scholar has identified two types of games:
Finite games have known players, fixed rules, a clear end. The purpose is to win. Like a football game.
Infinite games have known and unknown players who shift around. Rules change, and there's no finish line. Also like a football game.
The problem, according Simon Sinek, is that too many companies think they're in a finite game. You can't "win" business, and approaching it like you can could open you up to failure. In Sinek's new book, The Infinite Game, he offers a framework for individuals, groups, and organizations to shift their thinking and practices to play an infinite game. From a local police department to the Fortune 500, he shows who's done this successfully…and who's failed.
As I have reflected on Range and The Infinite Game, it reminds me of the The Wisdom of Crowds, where I think the Crowd recreates Epstein's range. For wise crowds to outperform irrational ones, these critical criteria are needed:
Diversity of Opinion Each person should have private information even if it's just an eccentric interpretation of the known facts.
Independance People's opinions aren't determined by the opinions of those around them.
Decentralization People are able to specialize and draw on local knowledge.
Aggregation Some mechanism exists for turning private judgements into a collective decision.
Trust Each person trusts the collective group to be fair.
The three conditions for a group to be intelligent are diversity, independence, and decentralization, and the best decisions are a product of disagreement and contest. There is no need to chase the expert.
However, the authors note that Crowds produce terrible judgment when the members of the crowd were too conscious of the opinions of others and began to emulate each other and conform rather than think differently. If the decision-making environment is not set up to accept the crowd, the benefits of individual judgments and private information are lost, and that the Crowd can only do as well as its smartest member, rather than perform better. In looking at historical failures of Crowds, the first item he identified was Homogeneity – the lack of sufficient diversity within a Crowd to ensure enough variance in approach, thought process, and private information.
Looking at the Queen and her advisors, they had all come up through the same system, schools, and training. There was too much homogeneity.
So what does this mean for business? Since most of the world is not on the Kind end of the Spectrum, especially not in the fast-changing business world, CEOs have to either hire people with range or ensure that the C-Suite has enough diversity to operate as "great crowd." They learn beyond practice and assimilate lessons that might even contradict their own direct experience.
May you win at Martian Tennis!
TikTok, Why and Should You? Yes
Even if you are not on TikTok, you have probably seen the videos. In the world of social media, you've got to move with the times and if you're not fast, you're last. TikTok is the fastest growing social media platform with more members than Snapchat, and as a marketer, you shouldn't ignore its rapid growth and rise in popularity. Currently, TikTok is taking share from all the other social media channels and growing like crazy. If your business is B2C you need to understand it. If you are B2B, you should so that you understand the under 30s coming your way!
TikTok is a mobile app that allows users to create a short, 15-second video of themselves, often featuring music in the background, which can be sped up, slowed down, or edited with a filter.
Users can film their reaction to a specific video, and with the app's "react" feature, place it in a small window that is movable around the screen.
The "duet" feature allows users to film a video alongside another video. The "duet" feature was another trademark of musical.ly which TikTok acquired
Users to set their accounts as "private" and can choose whether any other user, or only their "friends," may interact with them through the app via comments, messages, or "react" or "duet" videos.
Users also can set specific videos to either "public," "friends only," or "private" regardless if the account is private or not.
TikTok's "for you" page is a feed of recommended videos to you based on your previous actions on the app, consisting of what kind of content you've liked.
TikTok has over 1 billion all-time downloads, and its popularity and influence have only continued to spread.
TikTok enables everyone to be a creator and encourages users to share their passion and creative expression through their videos." Music is the gold in TikTok, and the platform works with musicians whose videos are going viral to help them improve the use of the platform.
While TikTok is a social network, it has nothing to do with one's social network. It doesn't ask you to tell it who you know. The app has a "Discover" page, with an index of trending hashtags, and a "For You" feed, which is driven by an AI system that analyzes and tracks user behavior to provide a continually refined, never-ending stream of TikToks optimized for your attention. Essentially, the platform is an enormous meme factory, and giving small pieces until you yell enough!
How did it get here?
ByteDance, a Chinese tech company, founded in 2012, owns TikTok. In 2016 ByteDance launched a short video app in China called Douyin, and Douyin took off. Within a year, Douyin had 100 million users and 1 billion video views a day. A year later, Douyin decided to expand outside of China to select international markets under a new name – TikTok. As TikTok shot up the charts in other Asian markets, in the US, a short video app was taking off, Musical.ly, which focused on 15-second lip-syncing music videos. When Vine closed in October 2016, many of its influencers moved to Musical.ly to continue their work. In November 2017, ByteDance acquired Muscial.ly for $1 billion. In August 2018, ByteDance announced it was shutting down Musical.ly and merging it with TikTok. In December 2018, TikTok peaked in the US with 6 million installs that month. ByteDance received a three-billion-dollar investment from SoftBank, and last fall, it was valued at more than $75 billion, the highest valuation for any startup in the world.
How does it make money?
TikTok generates a million dollars annually, according to Crunchbase. However, TikTok is aggressively investing in growth right now and is grabbing market shares away from other popular social media channels.
A few potential monetization strategies might be:
Advertising revenues generated via targeted ads (similar to YouTube)
Allowing content creators to monetize their content as a user-generated platform is critical to the platform long-term success
A subscription model for original, more extended form content from the platform that assembles the best short-form content
TikTok has grown so fast that Facebook has taken notice and is building an app, Lasso, to compete against TikTok. However, given TikTok's position, that may not be easy. TikTok is following its users of a specific demographic around the web via paid ads, and it appears to be ubiquitous. It is blitzscaling to gains as much growth and share as fast as possible.
Some TikTok Stats
TikTok was downloaded more than 660M times in 2018.
TikTok is more popular on Android than iOS with 80% of users on Andriod
More than 500 million people globally use TikTok monthly, and 26.5 million are in the US
TikTok's user base is primarily based in India at 43% of all users.
66% of users are younger than 30-years-old.
Users typically spend around 52 minutes per day on the app.
In-app purchases increased by 275% year-over-year.
29% of monthly users open TikTok every day.
The #RaindropChallenge has over 685.7 million views on TikTok.
Jimmy Fallon's #TumbleweedChallenge created 8,000 videos with over 9 million views in seven days.
There are more than 5 million #InMyFeelings challenge videos on TikTok compared to 1.7 million on Instagram.
The Content
TikTok is available in 150 markets. Typically built around music, language doesn't pose a significant barrier for its videos. As few of the videos have anything to do with the news, they don't quickly become dated. Kids do TikTok better than adults. According to Jack Wagner, a "popular Instagram memer, "I haven't seen one piece of content on there made by an adult that's normal and good." However, adults are also using the platform, including:
Arnold Schwarzenegger, riding a minibike and chasing a miniature pony
dogs on Instagram; and
The self-made celebrities of Generation Z.
Why it is appealing
The platform doesn't pretend to require a good reason to visit; the only reason is it serves videos that retain your attention. Through its AI system, half an hour has passed before you realize it. What makes it unique is that unlike Instagram and Facebook, it doesn't make us feel irritated, looking at friends having a better life. The whole family can watch together if the content is appropriate, making it more fun and engaging rather than falling into our closed silo with our device.
Further, TikTok focuses on whatever will retain our eyeballs, and it provides the incentives and the tools for users to copy that content with ease. The platform then adjusts its predilections based on the closed-loop of data that it has created. The scary thing is that the algorithm provides what we want, and we deliver what it wants. When do we know what the difference is between the algorithms and us?
In addition, TikTok has a couple of differentiators. First, as a Chinese company, it has huge market penetration in China, unlike many of the other large social media companies. But TikTok has local market adoption more than other social media companies, helping get more user attraction. Finally, TIkTok is focused on developing local creators in each market and limiting influencers.
US Government's Concern
In January 2019, the Peterson Institute for International Economics, an American think tank, claimed that TikTok poses a national security threat to the West. It noted the app's popularity with Western users, including armed forces personnel, and its ability to convey location, image, and biometric data to its Chinese parent company, which is legally unable to refuse to share data to the Chinese government. There is discussion in Congress about legislating or banning it, but for now, it is still up and running.
So Why Should You Care?
Brands are slowly appearing on the platform. From fashion brands like River Island and Guess to restaurants like Chipolte, to massive sports teams like NFL's New York Giants, an array of favorites taking up space on the channel now. If your demographic includes Generation Z then you should definitely be considering TikTok as a brand channel. Also, remember that as teens are often ahead of the curve on most things, so even if Gen Z isn't your thing, your actual target audience may be moving to this platform in the near future so it's worth reserving your handle and get experimenting!

Sacha Baron Cohen Headlines Aaron Sorkin's The Trial of the Chicago 7
Sacha Baron Cohen Trial of the Chicago 7 Promo Pic
Oscar nominee Sacha Baron Cohen will star in Oscar winner Aaron Sorkin's "The Trial of the Chicago 7," due out next month. The Jewish star Cohen will play the Jewish political personality from the 1960s Abbie Hoffman, in a film written and directed by the Jewish Aaron Sorkin.
Sorkin won an Oscar in 2011 for writing "The Social Network." But he is best known for "A Few Good Men," "Sports Night," and of course "The West Wing" which brought him four Emmy awards. Cohen is best known for creating and playing crazy over the top characters like Borat, for which he was nominated for an Oscar for best screenplay. But Sacha Baron Cohen has made the switch to serious acting, most recently starring on Netflix as the lead in "Eli Cohen," a miniseries about the Israeli spy.
Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne, Oscar winner Mark Rylance, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Jeremy Strong and Ben Shenkman also star in the movie to be released on Netflix October 16. Seth Rogen and Ben Stiller were once supposed to Play Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin, but many changes took place during the 14 years that it took to get the film made. Steven Spielberg was also going to direct it at one point.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=011_u1HJbfM
"The Trial of the Chicago 7" tells the true story of the seven people who were put on Federal trial for conspiring to start a riot at the Democratic National Convention in 1968. But the defendants said that they merely organized peaceful protests. The trial was seen as politically motivated and the charges were brought by President Nixon's Justice Department. Julius Hoffman, the judge in the case, was Jewish and is played by Frank Langella in the movie. While the defendants were convicted, an appeals court overturned the convictions saying that Judge Hoffman's behavior made it impossible for them to get a fair trial.
Abbi Hoffman was an infamous prankster who started the Yippies, Youth International Movement. He and Jerry Rubin collaborated on a variety of publicity stunts in protest against the war in Vietnam. To his dying day, Hoffman swore that the Yippies really did succeed in levitating the Pentagon through chanting at one of their fames anti-war protests.
Mark Rylance plays famed civil liberties attorney William Kunstler who made his reputation defending the Chicago 7.

While attending the Toronto International Film Festival, Aaron Sorkin spoke about how the film came about and the difficulties he had getting it made. "I asked DreamWorks if I could try writing this as a play. In the end I wanted to show was the riots and [that's] really what it came down to," he said.
Interestingly, President Trump's policies helped get the movie finished. Sorkin said, "What got it made were two things happening at once. I directed my first movie Molly's Game, and Steven [Spielberg] was sufficiently pleased with it. He said, 'You know, you should direct Chicago 7.' That happened at the same time Donald Trump was holding huge rallies and was getting nostalgic for how in the old days they used to take that guy out of here on a stretcher. They used to beat the crap out of him, punch him in the face, talking about protestors that way. Trump started telling people to go back where they came from."
