British proposal would tie a university's tuition to its teaching quality

As part of a recently announced education improvement plan, Britain will allow some universities to charge tuition based on quality of teaching. According to Quartz, the proposal is intended to encourage competition among schools and increase educational value.
"If a school's teaching is considered high enough, it would be allowed to charge a fee above the current ($12,900) cap," according to Quartz.
News reports do not explain how the quality level of the teaching would be determined.
The proposal would mean newer colleges that aren't as established as the University of Oxford or the University of Cambridge, but offer high-quality education, "will be able to compete on equal terms with quicker entry to the sector," according to the improvement plan.
Information, particularly on price and quality, is critical if the higher education market is to perform properly, stated the proposal presented by minister Jo Johnson. "Without it, providers cannot fully and accurately advertise their offerings, and students cannot make informed decisions."
According to the Financial Times, "some fear it could be the first step in allowing colleges to set their own tuition fees. Labour's shadow universities minister described the move as a 'Trojan horse' for eventually removing the fees cap altogether."
But how does tuition compare from Britain to across the pond in the U.S.?
The Guardian reported that in OCED's annual survey of education of 34 countries, Britain had the highest tuition followed by the U.S. and Japan.
The average cost of tuition in Britain is $12,900 per year where in the U.S. it is $9,410 for state residents at public colleges. College tuition in the U.S. has increased by 500 percent in the past three decades.
Critics are worried raising the tuition cap could increase Britain's debt to the level of the U.S. According to Market Watch, the current level of student loan debt in the U.S. is over $1 trillion and increases by $2,726 every second.
According to BBC News, U.S. Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are pushing for lower the cost of higher education. Sanders has promised to scrap tuition altogether where Clinton wants to make college more affordable.
Earning a bachelor's degree in Britain takes three years where in the U.S. it can take four. College tuition in Britain, though, is not paid up-front. Repayments begin when the student is earning above $30,000 and disappear after 30 years. If a student takes out a government loan in the U.S., monthly payments begin six months after graduation.
Will you get more bang for your buck with college education in Britain? It depends.
The University of California, Berkeley, where in-state tuition is $13,342 per year, has recently released a "Middle Class Education Plan." The plan involves offering financial support to students whose parents have a combined income of $80,000 to $150,000, "who might be income-rich but cash-poor," according to BBC. According to the U.S. News and National Report, Berkeley is ranked No. 20 in the publication's 2016 Best National Universities rankings.
According to BBC, six of the world's top colleges are located in Britain. These include Cambridge, University College London, Imperial College London, Oxford, University of Edinburgh and King's College London.

Oil and Gas Money in 'Green' California Politics?
Can California politicians fight climate change if they get tens of millions of dollars from oil industry?
You may not realize it when thinking about politics in environmentally conscious and "green" California, but an 18-month-long NBC Bay Area and Maplight investigation found the oil and gas industry paid $182 million to California politicians, PACs and political causes between 2001 and June 30, 2018. For the past year and a half, the Investigative Unit worked with Maplight, a nonpartisan group based in Berkeley that tracks campaign contributions to uncover just how much money and influence the oil and gas industry wields in Sacramento.
You may not realize it when thinking about politics in environmentally conscious and "green" California but an 18 month long NBC Bay Area and Maplight investigation found the oil and gas industry paid $182 million to California politicians, PACs and political causes between 2001 and June 30, 2018. For the past year and a half, The Investigative Unit worked with Maplight, a non-partisan group based in Berkeley that tracks campaign contributions to uncover just how much money and influence the oil and gas industry wields in Sacramento. Investigative reporter Stephen Stock reports on a story that first aired Oct. 1, 2018.
"It's a tremendous amount of money," said Daniel Newman, the founder of Maplight, about the contributions from oil and gas. Newman started Maplight in 2005 in order to show voters the impact that money has on our political system.
In the chart below, see how much individual California politicians received from the oil and gas industry.
See how much money in campaign contributions employees, executives, PAC's and corporations connected to the oil and gas industry gave California state politicians and those running for state office since 2001.
Two weeks before Election Day and the money to California politicians has picked up, including from a major player -- the oil and gas industry. Critics say it contradicts California's image as a green, environmentally conscious state. But as the governor recently told us, there's no way around it. Money fuels any politician. Senior Investigative Reporter Stephen Stock has been crushing the numbers for months now, and has an update on campaign contributions.
Here's a chart of the largest contributors from the Oil & Gas Industry.
And the amount oil and gas has spent in Sacramento is not insignificant when compared with other industries and other states' politics. The $182 million in political contributions put the oil and gas industry in the top eight of all industry and special interest givers in California, according to the National Institute on Money in Politics, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit that has documented more than $100 billion in special interest contributions to state and federal political campaigns.
The $182 million spent in California by oil and gas ranks at the top compared to other states. In fact, oil and gas gave more to political causes in the "green" Golden State than the industry did to state politics in New Mexico, North Dakota, Montana and Texas combined, according to the same data from the National Institute on Money in Politics.
"I think it's absolutely the political process we live in," said Catherine Reheis-Boyd, referring to the large amounts of money in politics. Reheis-Boyd is president of the Western States Petroleum Association, which represents the oil industry in California, Arizona, Nevada, Washington, and Oregon. When asked if oil and gas had Gov. Jerry Brown's ear, she said that "yes" she is confident that the oil industry has a good relationship with Brown and the Legislature. "I would say we've made great progress with being able to have a seat at the table with the environmentalists," she said.
Catherine Reheis-Boyd, president of the Western States Petroleum Association, says, "we are all environmentalists," in this extended interview with Senior Investigative Reporter Stephen Stock about doing business in California and what kind of money it takes to have a "seat at the table" in Sacramento politics.
Reheis-Boyd points out that if California intends to remain a leader in green policy, the state has to set an example of how green reforms can be made without impacting businesses. "If we don't do that in a cost effective way, no one will follow," said Reheis-Boyd. "You can't hurt business in the state and still have and expect a growing economy."
Contra Costa County resident and activist Pennie Opal Plant remains concerned about the role the oil industry has taken in shaping climate policies in California. "This is a crisis," she said, "and it's time for all of us to come together and deal with the crisis." Plant, who owns an art and jewelry business in the East Bay, joined 800 environmental and social justice groups to protest Brown's recent Global Climate Action Summit held in San Francisco.
"I'm working day and night and doing my best to inspire people to rise for climate," said Plant, who is convinced that despite the green image of Brown, the influence of oil money is thwarting real progress.
Brown recently signed landmark legislation, SB 100. It mandates California transition to 50 percent wind and solar energy by 2026, 60 percent by 2030, and by 2045, 100 percent zero-carbon electricity. Zero-carbon means no coal, oil or gas. The bill also calls for 5 million electric vehicles on California streets by 2030.
Food and Water Watch focuses on sustainable energy as a key part of its mission statement. Scow said SB 100 has serious shortcomings. "It doesn't ban fracking, and it doesn't phase out oil drilling," he said. Scow also takes issue with the timeline. "We don't have 27 years to get there," he said.
Detailed in a report they've titled, "Brown's Dirty Hands," Court says he and his team found $9.85 million in political donations from the oil industry to Brown's campaigns, ballot measures and favorite causes.
"Our governor really is one of the most spoken people in the world against climate change. He hasn't laid a finger on the oil companies or the gas companies and part of the reason is because their fingers are busy shuffling out the cash in Sacramento," said Jamie Court of Consumer Watchdog.
"You take oil industry money, you can't stop drilling in this state. That's the problem," Court said. According to data obtained from the California Department of Conservation, 23,892 new onshore oil drilling permits have been granted across the state since Brown took office in 2011.
NBC Bay Area asked Brown if he can consider himself a climate leader while he and other Democrats take millions of dollars from the oil industry.
"Politics runs on money, billions and billions of dollars," Brown said.
He stressed that his campaign accepted money from everyone. "If somebody wants to contribute to a proposition ... an oil company or a sugar company or a Hollywood movie company, we'll take it," Brown said. The governor insists that those contributions have not stopped him from aggressively pursuing green policies.

Cryotherapy is the use of cold temperatures to promote the body's natural healing and wellness. Its use dates back to ancient civilizations and has long been proven to be an effective method for improving recovery and health. Top athletes across the country have been using cryotherapy for years to recover from injuries quicker, improve performance, decrease inflammation, and feel younger. Now it's available for everyone.
A full range of cryotherapy treatments are available from local cryotherapy and cryofacials to whole body cryotherapy, which leaves your entire body feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. We've compiled some of the benefits of this effective and fast treatment below.
One of the primary and long-held benefits of cryotherapy is the ability to accelerate recovery following strenuous activity and boost physical performance. During the cold therapy treatment, circulation increases throughout your body, delivering more oxygen and helping remove toxins that have built up in your muscles. Muscles recover up to 50% faster, pain is reduced, and performance gains are multiplied.
Cryotherapy's weight loss benefits are twofold, acting both during the treatment and in the days and weeks following treatment. During the cryotherapy session, your body can burn hundreds of calories in a matter of minutes, boosting your metabolism to increase your body temperature. Following the session, your boosted metabolism will keep working for you, helping you burn calories faster and lose weight more effectively.
During the cryotherapy treatment, endorphins and adrenaline are released to help your body cope with the extreme cold temperatures. Those endorphins can increase energy levels and help combat anxiety and depression. In a one-session treatment, you'll likely leave feeling euphoric and have a renewed sense of energy.
Cryotherapy can be used to combat conditions that involve chronic pain, such as arthritis and autoimmune disorders. The cryotherapy treatment helps increase circulation and combat the symptoms of these conditions, leading to pain relief and improved overall wellness. Just three minutes of temperatures as low as -250 degrees Fahrenheit reduces inflammation and pain, releases endorphins, and increases collagen production. Extreme cold activates the body's natural healing mechanisms, helping to reduce reliance on NSAIDs or medications.
Cryotherapy works to tighten your skin and rejuvenate your appearance for a more youthful, radiant glow. Cryotherapy stimulates collagen production, resulting in anti-aging skin rejuvenation such as skin tightening, a decrease in wrinkles, reduction of cellulite, and improvement of blemishes and scars. Cryotherapy speeds up healing and can be used to treat skin conditions such as psoriasis and dermatitis.
With all these benefits and more, it's easy to see why athletes and non-athletes alike are turning to cryotherapy for improved wellness and health.

Strategy Execution Mistake #3: Avoiding Conflict

https://d1u684zi6tco2y.cloudfront.net/e3/strategy_podcast_episode_3_avoiding_conflict.mp3
Podcast (video): Play in new window | Download
In this episode, I want to talk about the third mistake companies make when it comes to strategy execution, and that is avoiding conflict.
Conflict avoidance is something we see in a lot of places. It's pretty natural to want to avoid conflict. We really value harmony. We want there to be good working relationships with people, and that conflict can kind of feel bad, and perhaps disrupt the harmony. But if you're avoiding conflict for the sake of harmony, you end up with kind of a false harmony, if you will, because what's really going on is you've avoided this conflict, and this conflict hasn't gone away. So, it's just been kind of put into the background, and eventually it's going to re-emerge when the organization tries to do something to make decisions, and if this conflict hasn't gone away, then you end up in a situation where the organization is just going to face this conflict over, and over, and over again.
You have to really prioritize clarity over harmony. And that means working through conflict in a way that gets people on the same page. And this is an important part of the alignment process.
If you have conflict that's in there, you don't have alignment. This can be very difficult, and it's something people want to avoid.
What I have found is that people always often assume conflict or disagreement is somehow personal, or they don't like me, and in some cases there are the situations where it's a power play. But often what's going on is we might, there could be two reasons, or I guess three reasons we're disagreeing.
One, we don't agree on the end goal. And that's infrequent, actually. People really do want their companies to be successful because that will help them be successful. So they may have some differences in the shape of what that success looks like. But, that's the first place to start is to get alignment on the end goal and make sure that that's not the source of the conflict.
The second place, that's more common, and this is the one I find to be the most common place of conflict, is that we have a different perspective on how to get to that end goal. And that's because we have this different perspective because we have different assumptions about how the organization's going to react, how the world works, how customers will react. There's a whole set of unstated assumptions that drive our beliefs about how something works. And I have one set of assumptions and set one of beliefs, and you may have a different set of assumptions and a different set of beliefs, and that could lead us to believing that, I might believe that this is the right way to do it and you might believe that that's the right way to do it. And this and that aren't compatible with each other. But if you actually start to peel back the onion to understand that underlying beliefs about why it won't work and what the issues are and what the underlying assumptions are, you can often find a way of actually reconciling those two things so that we can achieve. Perhaps, say if the conflict was one of safety. Maybe there's a way to do the way we were describing of doing it, but adding in an element or a set of ways to mitigate any safety risks. Understanding the two sides, understanding the risks that are perceived and how you close those risks off in mitigation, through mitigation methods, can help get more alignment and help conflict get resolved inside of the organization.
And it ultimately, the third way can actually be the issues is one where it's a power play or it's somebody who's a bad actor in the organization. In that case, the only way to deal with it is to actually remove that person from the organization. Even they're a high performer, if people are acting in a way that's again the interest of the company, you don't really have much choice.
To the extent that you still can't get conflict to be resolved in that, it's important for whoever's leading the organization to make a decision and ask the team to commit to living with that decision. Again, even if it means someone leaving, it's more important to get their commitment and buy-in that you understand they may disagree, but here's the decision and you're asking for their commitment to get behind it and get on board and get on with it. And that is a very important way of actually resolving conflict in the end, to extent you have conflicts that are fundamental, that can't be resolved in any other way.
I hope this podcast has been useful and helpful to you in your work. My name is Alex Nesbitt, I'll see you on the next podcast.

It's my birthday today. To celebrate, I'm releasing the official music video for the song, Zetta, about my grandma who died recently. I filmed it at her memorial service in Montana, and I hope you enjoy it.
Help Me Give $10,000 to Charity with a Mouseclick.
So this website is giving $25,000 to whatever artist or band gets the most votes from people. If I win it, I'm going to give $10,000 of that money to charity. And, if you help me win, I'll give you some pretty awesome prizes. It's fast and easy, and we can make a huge difference in the world together. Here's how you can help put food in the mouths of amazing children and win stuff.
4. Spread the Word: Please invite friends to this event, to the page, tell them to vote, tell them what will happen when we win this.
The contest ends June 1st. This isn't about getting the word out about my music. This is about raising money for people in need.
- Vote 100 times: I will mail you an autographed copy of any album of your choice.
- Vote 200 times, I will send you an autographed album and a handwritten song of your choice, in pen, in my horrible handwriting.
- Vote 300 times, I will send you all of the above, and give you a sneak peak of my upcoming full length a good half-year before anyone else will ever hear it.

And, if you are THE top voter, I will take you to dinner the next time I tour through your city, and give you all sorts of free stuff in person.
Every hour and vote counts! Thank you for being an amazing human being.
Forever is Now is releasing 1.24.12. It's produced entirely by UK-based super-producer Abstrakt, composed of samples from some of our favorite Sigur Ros songs. You'll notice the album is released as "name your price," so you can set any price from $0-$100,000. However, 100% of what you choose to pay will be donated to Faraja and Ebenezer orphanages in Kenya. And as an added incentive, those of you who Pre-Order with any amount of money will have the album two weeks in advance, on 1.10.12.
By providing women with fuel-efficient cookstoves, Mercy Corps helps reduce the pressure on forests that serve as habitat for endangered gorillas. More importantly, it reduces the time women spend gathering wood outside protected camps, when they are at a severe risk of assault.
As always, 50% of the net proceeds from merch/album sales will continue to be donated to Mercy Corps relief efforts in the Congo.
This Sunday, I will be in Minneapolis/St. Paul with many amazing people celebrating the life of a dear friend, Micheal Larsen.
If you will be in the area, or live nearby, I hope you can make it out. I will see you there with hugs and love.
Thank you all for being great. If you haven't heard much of Mike's music, you need to check it out. YouTube Eyedea, Face Candy, and Carbon Carousel and prepare to be floored.
First and foremost, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for the incredible support you have continued to provide, both inside and outside of music. You humble me on a daily basis, and I only hope to return even a fraction of what you have given. Times are tough, and they will only continue to get more challenging; I have no doubt about this. But I also know that, with people like you in the world, the beautiful will continue to triumph over the ugly. This world continually tries to knock us to our knees. Sometimes it's successful in its attempts to do so. But as long as we keep getting back up, we stay in the fight. And it is a beautiful struggle that we all make the most of, together, and one that is made all the better by your influence. Words don't do it justice, but thank you.
I don't know if it's taboo for me to open up personally here, but I consider you family. I'd like to share some of the experiences of my last year with you in hopes of being here for you to relate to. I know a lot of you may be going through some of the same life experiences, or have recently. It has been a year full of ups and downs, smiles and tears, and ultimately growth.
If nothing else, I just want you to know I'm here for you. Your happiness is what I care about the most. If I can do anything, please let me know.
Largely thanks to your support, I quit my 9 to 5 as a corrections officer at a maximum security juvenile jail to pursue music full-time. I have not looked back.
Spent a month in Kenya volunteering at Faraja and Ebenezer Children's Orphanages. This was a trip of a lifetime, and one that I am still learning from every day. You helped make this possible through your donations and purchases of Care Bears and Corn Dogs and GSOB 3. Thank you so much.
Toured with Micheal Larsen, Christopher Keller, Cody Foster, and Jacob Snider (Eyedea, Kristoff Krane, Sadistik, and Cas One, respectively) on the Save Yourself Tour. To have been on the road with Micheal, perform with him, and develop a friendship with him is something that I never thought would happen in a million years.
Mike died. I am still trying to wrap my head around this. His influence on my work is something you can hear in every song, and I can't fully express how much he impacted me from 16 years old to every day on that 5,000 mile tour.
My grandpa, Bill Matthews, my mom's dad, died. He was an amazing man. He was a surgeon for 40 years, fought the Nazi's, had several purple hearts, and helped make my mom into the incredible woman that she is today.
Moved out to Fort Collins, Colorado, to live and make music with my good friend and producer, Dominic (Doctype). This continues to be great.
Changed the name from Alexipharmic to Bodi. This was a decision several years in the making, and your support has helped make the transition smooth.
First national tour ever, The Never-Ending Gunshow Tour, with Kristoff Krane, Sadistik, and Ordeal. Went from Maine to California, to Washington, and everywhere in between. 38 shows.
Quincy, my dog and one of my best friends since I was 12 years old, died. Had a family reunion and surprise birthday party for my mom in Montana. Saw a lot of aunts and uncles I hadn't seen in over a decade. Went on a road trip to Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, Zion, and Bryce Canyon with my dear friend, Megan.
Small, ten city tour with Doctype, Smash Moody, and Engineers in Your Ear.
My grandma, Zetta Matthews, died. She had, and will continue to have, an indelible influence on my life. I miss her every day.
I feel like the last 14 months have given me a crash course in a lot of different experiences in life that we all go through. Through the highs and the lows, you have always been there, and for that I can never thank you enough.
My Grandma died this week. She was, and will continue to be, a huge influence in my life. I'm grateful that we had the opportunity to share our journeys together for 26 years.
1. Her name was Zetta. Her middle name was Zane. Her maiden name was Zilla. Zetta Zane Zilla. If that isn't the most boss name in the history of names, I don't know what is.
2. She created my mom.
3. She thought Glenn Beck was a turd, and called me laughing the day he was fired.
4. She taught me how to swear.
5. She taught me how to gamble.
6. She made amazing homemade bread.
7. She would moon every visitor anytime they left the house.
8. One year for Christmas, she sent me a miniature olive green toilet with a twig glued to the bottom. The next year she sent me $100. The year after that, she sent me a framed picture of her sitting on the toilet in a nightgown with an umbrella hat on. The year after that she sent me $100.
9. She could beat you, and all of your friends, at Scrabble.
10. Her version of a hug was extending an index finger and barely making contact with the other's extended index finger.
11. The last time I saw her was on tour with Kristoff Krane, Sadistik, Ordeal, and Brady O'Rourke. She waited up until midnight for us to get there, and had homemade cinnamon rolls, coffee, soup, and sandwiches for us.
12. She could beat you, and all of your friends, at pool.
15. She could beat you, and all of your friends, at poker.
16. She raised six kids.
17. She taught me sarcasm.
18. She taught me how to laugh at myself.
19. She taught me not to take life so seriously.
20. She is my grandma.


LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) - Water supply issues and depletion of the Ogallala aquifer aren't just western Kansas problems, a former Kansas agriculture secretary told a group of Lawrence environmentalists.
Josh Svaty, a former three-term state representative who was named secretary of agriculture in 2009 by then-Gov. Mark Parkinson, is now a vice president at the Salina-based Land Institute, an agricultural and environmental research center.
He told members of the EcoTeam - part of an interfaith network of environmental groups known as Lawrence Ecology Teams United for Sustainability, or LET-US - that water levels in parts of western Kansas have declined rapidly because of large-scale irrigation that began there in the 1970s, the Lawrence Journal-World (http://bit.ly/1cH1WQE) reported.
"Think about the economy that transfers to eastern Kansas, coming out of western Kansas," Svaty said. "The beef industry obviously is very important to Kansas, but a huge amount of that industry is based, or has large footprints, in eastern Kansas, especially around Kansas City and Johnson County."
The Ogallala aquifer is a vast network of underground water locked in the porous limestone deep below the surface in the High Plains region of the U.S., stretching from Wyoming and South Dakota to the Texas and Oklahoma panhandle regions. It is the primary source of fresh water for the entire area.
Roughly 90 percent of the water is used for irrigation to grown corn, soybeans and milo, which are used as feed grains for the livestock industry.
Central-west Kansas, around Scott City and Tribune, is already considered a "dead zone" where irrigation has all but ceased, Svaty said. While there is more water available for feedlots and processing plants in Gaden City, Liberal and Dodge City in the southwest, he said, farmers are pumping vastly larger amounts - which consume more energy because the water is deeper below the surface.
Few people in western Kansas even speak about stopping the depletion, he said, but instead talk about "managed decline."
"Some people out there complain that they are the only mining interest in the state that is not allowed to mine out all of their resource," he said.

Q&A: NFL Personnel Boss Lake Dawson | Poets&Quants
Q&A: NFL Personnel Boss Lake Dawson
by: Jeff Schmitt on February 04, 2016 | 0 Comments Comments 1,412 Views
Dawson (Far Left) with NFL Hall Famers (From Left) Elvin Bethea, Warren Moon and Ken Houston and Mike Reinfeldt, former COO of the Tennessee Titans
"You never know when someone is watching."
That could be Lake Dawson's mantra. A personnel executive with the Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans, and Cleveland Browns, Dawson once toiled in the shadows. He focused on mastering his craft and helping his team gain an edge – always probing deeper and never sugarcoating his true beliefs.
And such effort, humility, and candor opened doors for Dawson. In the twilight of his playing career, his general manager noticed that he took copious notes – and pointed him to a career in scouting. In his first personnel job, he became a jack-of-all-trades, handling the dirty work and capitalizing on every opportunity. As an executive, he served as both change driver and apprentice while he absorbed the nuances of operating a football team.
Dawson never worried about who was watching. He let his work speak for itself. As a result, he attracted mentors among the top men in the NFL, including Super Bowl winning executives like Ted Thompson, Bill Polian, and Mike Reinfeldt and legendary coaches like Mike Holmgren and Marty Schottenheimer. In working alongside the best minds in football – coupled with his own on-field success – Dawson learned how to build championship teams both on and off the field. And many of these lessons can be applied to any organization, says Dawson, who is currently earning his MBA through Indiana University's Kelley School of Business.
Dawson greeting former Titans receiver Damien Williams (10)
As an NFL executive, Dawson wears a lot of hats. To the press, he acts as the face of the franchise. To the coach, he is the guy who goes out and finds the players who fit his system. To his employees, Dawson is the sympathetic ear and consensus builder who taps into the talents of those around them. To the owner, he is equal parts visionary, architect, and mason. In the big picture, he is the tone setter who safeguards the vision and values of his organization.
Recently, Poets&Quants sat down with Dawson to discover what he has learned in 15 years as an administrator and leader in the NFL. From leading through influence to managing diversity to choosing the right job, here are some of Dawson's thoughts on how MBAs can get the most out of their early careers.
P&Q: Being a football executive involves balancing the short term (winning) with the long-term (keeping a young roster with financial flexibility). You find the same push-pull in every business. What decision-making strategies did you use to bring a similar strategic balance between today and tomorrow to your teams' football operations?
LD: In my business, I see winning as paramount. That's the first thing. With that, I think the way that you're able to balance both the short-term goal of winning and the long-term goal of sustained success and flexibility is from what I was taught by Ted Thompson [Current general manager of the Green Bay Packers]. You build through the draft in terms of football and building your team and that you supplement other areas of concern through free agency and veteran players. For me, that means not being one-sided or not being cap poor in terms of the salary cap.*
From a strategic standpoint, that could possibly mean trading away a veteran player who is still playing at a level that is attractive to other teams in the NFL to acquire other draft picks. That could also mean trading away picks to accumulate more picks during the draft. Ultimately, it is about trying to build through the draft and then supplement other needs through free agency.
My overall strategy is to develop what I call a "stacked" roster. By stacked, I mean the depth of your roster. You're trying to constantly create a competitive environment for the players where there are younger players who are pushing veterans for spots or younger players competing for jobs. Because the more competition you can create on the roster, the better that roster will be.
Applying that to the corporate world, how that compares is that you have to remember the big vision of what you're trying to accomplish. In football, often times, you're talking with the head coach and the position coaches and they want to win right now. They realize the sense of urgency – and it's the same with the ownership. But you have to remind them, 'Hey, here's the big picture of what type of team that we want to be. Here's how we said we wanted to be balanced in terms of our roster and what is important to us. This is the type of identity that we wanted to have. We want to build through the draft and supplement certain needs through free agency. We weren't going to build our team primarily through older veteran players …although sometimes those things may look attractive. Let's stay the course in terms of what we wanted our identity to be.'
Dawson awaiting the start of the game
So those are some of the strategic decisions that I've made along the way and some of the ideas that I was taught in terms of balancing both short-term and long-term success.
* Additional Note From Dawson: One sided to me means that your roster make-up isn't built in just a one-sided manner of young players or veteran, more expensive players, but an actual balanced roster that has a good mix of young and experienced players is what is most desired in my opinion. Cap poor means you have strapped yourself into contracts that press you up against the ceiling of the salary cap limit. Thus, you are limited in what you can do in acquiring players in the future due to limited remaining cap resources – you just haven't given yourself enough room to acquire more talent because of contracts that may not be cap friendly and your overall robust spending. That also means trying to accumulate as many draft picks to acquire younger talented players who have a chance to play longer than veteran players due to age and can cost less against the salary cap.
P&Q: These days, you hear a lot about "executive presence." In your work, you're interacting with very successful people who are accustomed to being leaders themselves. Whether it is how you carry yourself or how you interact with others, what advice would you give to help MBAs immediately command respect and draw others to follow them?
LD: That is a great question with regards to young MBA candidates or even older candidates coming into the workforce. In my life experience, humility and service come to mind along with listening. Those three [traits] are vital because when you come into a group or team setting, humility is paramount. A lot of times, people feel humility is a sign of weakness. But I would say it's a sign of strength. If you're humble enough to put your own needs and feelings aside to listen for the greater good, that's almost a biblical principle to me in terms of what I was taught growing up in the church. I think any great leader must be able to serve. You cannot serve unless you listen. So those three qualities [humility, service, and listening] are foundational pieces for coming into a situation and trying to have an impact.
You can't come in loud and brash in my opinion. That's not the best way to create a bridge. I think most people respond better to a humble person who's willing to serve. If you're going to serve, you're going to listen and gather information. And then, when that opportunity presents itself, you react to that situation with the knowledge and experiences that you gained in life as well as from your MBA. You attack it with vigor and innovative thought. But you have to come to that situation with humility and a mindset of service and a mindset to listen. These are small, small steps that grow into big ones. This is the best way to come into a situation and have an executive presence, even when you're not an executive yet.

Pakistan has never made an appearance in any major tournament outside the South Asian region, in contrast to its rivals India and Bangladesh although Bangladesh has never qualified for the World Cup and India had qualified in 1950 but then withdrew from the competition. Football never saw its glory in Pakistan largely due to the heavy influence of cricket in Pakistan and in general, South Asia. As of 2020, Pakistan is the only team in Asia that has never won a FIFA World Cup qualifying game.[6]

1950s – Pakistan's international debutEdit
Pakistan made its international debut on a tour to Iran and Iraq in October 1950. Pakistan lost its first match 5–1 against Iran. Pakistan's next international outing came in the Colombo Cup where the team played its first match against India which ended in a goalless draw. During the 50s, Pakistan played internationally in the following Colombo Cup editions which were played in India in 1954, then East Pakistan in 1955, and the Asian Games in Philippines in 1954 and in Japan in 1958.
Early 1960s and 1970sEdit
In the early 1960s, Pakistan produced one of the finest players to ever grace the field in Pakistan Football History, Abdul Ghafoor Majna was nicknamed the "Pakistani Pele" and "Black Pearl of Pakistan".[7] Ghafoor was part of Pakistan national football team setup when it was in the top 10 teams of Asia. According to The Express Tribune, he was "the last man alive from the days when the Pakistan football team was good enough to beat USSR, UAE and China – a far cry from the state of affairs right now."[8]
It was three years before Pakistan played another competitive fixture, when they played in the first RDC Cup and finished third. In 1967, they played a series of friendlies against Saudi Arabia, all ending in draws. Later in the year Pakistan lost their Asian Cup qualifiers against Burma and Khmer and drew their final match against India. They then hosted the second RDC Cup and finished third, which included the 4–7 defeat to Turkey. In 1969, they travelled to Iran to take part in a friendly tournament, in which they had a 2–1 win against Iraq and a record 7–0 defeat by Iran.
As a result of the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, East Pakistan became The People's Republic of Bangladesh and consequently the Pakistani team lost the right to call upon Bengali players. In the early 1970s the national side's participation was restricted to the RDC Cup and the 1974 Asian Games, and a single friendly against South Korea in 1978. The most notable result in this period was a 2–2 draw against Turkey.
1980–1990 (Rise and fall)Edit
In the King's Cup in 1982, Pakistan secured a goalless draw against Indonesia, the team's first clean sheet since 1962. After a loss to Thailand, they gained a 3–2 victory versus Malaysia and although they lost a close game against China, they were able to win 1–0 in their final game against Singapore.
Pakistan hosted a friendly tournament involving Iran, Bangladesh, Oman and Nepal in 1982. The Green Shirts started off with a 2–1 over Bangladesh. They lost to Iran, but came back and beat Nepal 2–0. The last game against Oman ended nil-nil and Pakistan ended the tournament as runners-up. However, in 1984, the national team lost 4 out of 5 games in the Asian Cup qualifiers, the only victory coming against North Yemen 4–1.
The national team hosted another tournament in 1985, this time inviting North Korea, Indonesia, Bangladesh and Nepal. A goalless draw against the North Koreans boosted the side, and they beat Nepal 1–0. However, losses in the final two games against Bangladesh and Indonesia meant they were again runners up. In the South Asian Games, Pakistan ended fourth after losing a penalty shoot out to Nepal.
In the 1986 Asian Games, Pakistan lost all their games. However, a year later the side was more successful at the South Asian Games, winning the bronze medal match against Bangladesh 1–0. In 1988, they lost all their Asian Cup qualifiers. Pakistan made their first attempt to qualify for the World Cup in 1989. However, they were unable to win any of their matches. The national team bounced back, when several months later they took Gold at the South Asian Games, beating Bangladesh 1–0 in the final.
1990s–2003 (Decline)Edit
Pakistan had another early exit in the Asian Games, losing all three games in 1990. In the 1991 South Asian Games, Pakistan beat the Maldives in the final 2–0 to win their second Gold. Later in the year the first SAFF Cup took place, and the national team finished fourth, but at the 1993 South Asian Games, they were unable to get past the group stage.
In 1995, Pakistan went out of the SAFF Cup group stage on goal difference. Between 1996 and 1997, the team lost all their Asian Cup and World Cup qualifying games. Pakistan came third in the 1997 SAFF Cup, thanks to a 1–0 victory over Sri Lanka in the third place playoff. The 1999 SAFF Cup saw Pakistan finish bottom of their group, and Pakistan also failed to get out of the group stage of the final South Asian Games to hold full internationals.
Pakistan were unable to win any of their 2000 Asian Cup qualifiers. The following year Pakistan achieved their first point in World Cup qualification, thanks to a hat-trick by Gohar Zaman in a 3–3 draw against Sri Lanka, but all other matches ended in defeat.
In 2002, Pakistan played in an unsuccessful four match series against Sri Lanka. At the 2003 SAFF Cup, Pakistan finished fourth, losing 2–1 in extra time to India in the third place playoff. Later in the year, Pakistan won their first Asian Cup qualifier with a 3–0 over Macao, but still were unable to qualify. They rounded off the year with defeats to Kyrgyzstan in the World Cup qualifiers.
2004–2013 (New set-up and changes)Edit
2004 saw changes in Pakistan football, with a new administration in place by this time and a new national league up and running. A victory against India in a three match series, the final match ending 3–0 to the Greenshirts, followed, and they went on the reach the semi-finals of the 2005 SAFF Cup. They lost the semifinal against defending champion Bangladesh by 0–1 margin.
The Pakistan team lost their first two Asian Cup qualifiers in 2006, in between which they took part in the first AFC Challenge Cup 2006. They failed to get past the group stage, but beat Kyrgyzstan 1–0. Back at the Asian Cup qualifiers, they lost their remaining fixtures. In the World Cup qualifiers in 2007, they fell to a heavy defeat by the Asian champions Iraq and after the 7–0 loss, little was expected on them in the second leg. However, the Greenshirts held them to a goalless draw. In 2008, Pakistan travelled to Nepal for two friendlies before taking on the AFC Challenge Cup qualifiers. Although they won against Chinese Taipei 2–1 in the first match, and beat Guam in a record-equalling 9–2 win in the final match, other results, including a 7–1 defeat to Sri Lanka, saw them again fail to reach the finals.
In the SAFF Championship 2008, Pakistan failed to go beyond the group stages, losing to Maldives 3–0, India 2–1 and Nepal 4–1, which signalled the end of Akhtar Mohiuddin's tenure as head coach. After Mohiuddin's departure, Austrian-Hungarian coach George Kottan was hired and the veteran tactician took a star-studded team to the SAFF Championship 2009. Despite calling upon foreign players such as Adnan Ahmed, Shabir Khan, Amjad Iqbal, Atif Bashir and Reis Ashraf, the side were unable were defeat 1–0 by Sri Lanka, before drawing 0–0 with Bangladesh as former Manchester United star Adnan missed a late penalty to seal a win. Pakistan won against Bhutan 7–0 in their last game.
Kottan was soon sacked in February 2010, Pakistan had no senior games during the entire calendar year but saw the appointment of Tottenham Hotspur legend Graham Roberts for the U-23 Team. For the AFC Challenge Cup 2012 qualifiers in 2011, KRL FC coach Tariq Lutfi was called up once more and failed to deliver emphatically. Defeats such as the 3–0 against Turkmenistan and 3–1 against India meant that the side were already out of the qualifiers despite beating Chinese Taipei by 2–0. Later in the 2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers in July, Bangladesh thoroughly beat Pakistan 3–0 in Dhaka, before earning a 0–0 draw in Lahore a few days later.
That saw the end of Lutfi's reign, with Serbian boss Zaviša Milosavljević taking over in November 2011 right before the SAFF Championship 2011. Despite having little time to influence the team, Zavisa managed to hold Bangladesh 0–0, Maldives 0–0 and Nepal 1–1 in the India-hosted SAFF Championship 2011. However, they were unable to progress into the semi-finals and returned home.
2012's sole game was witnessed in November against Singapore, who thrashed Pakistan 4–0 at home. Pakistan then started 2013 with a bang, winning two games against Nepal with identical 1–0 margins thanks to the brilliance of Hassan Bashir. A 1–1 draw with Maldives followed, but with congested fixtures Pakistan ended up losing the last game 3–0 in Male.
2013–2017Edit
Pakistan then played the 2014 AFC Challenge Cup qualification in Bishkek, losing out 1–0 to Tajikistan in injury-time. Pakistan also lost 1–0 against the Kyrgyzstan after scoring in the 1st minute, but with Hassan Bashir and returning Kaleemullah Pakistan comfortably beat Macau 2–0.
Pakistan played a friendly against Afghanistan in August, losing 3–0 emphatically without their foreign-based players. Coach Zaviša Milosavljević was sacked and replaced by Bahrain's Mohammad Al-Shamlan, who acted as a coaching consultant to Shahzad Anwar in the 2013 SAFF Championship
The Shaheens played their hearts out, but were unable to defeat India and lost 1–0 after a horrendous own-goal from Samar Ishaq. Against hosts Nepal, Hassan Bashir scored an early goal, only to see 15-year-old Bimal Gharti Magar level things in injury-time. However, Pakistan beat Bangladesh 2–1 and were unlucky not to reach the semi-finals after losing out on head-to-head with India.
Pakistan did not qualify for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, being eliminated by Bangladesh in the first round of the AFC qualifying section, losing the first game 3–0, but drawing 0–0 in the return game, being 3–0 as the aggregate score.
In 2014, Pakistan played a 2 match friendly series with India. All matches were played at Bangalore Stadium in India. India beat Pakistan 1–0 in the first friendly, leading the series, but Pakistan won the second match 0–2.
For Pakistan's campaign for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, they were to face Yemen in Round 1 in the AFC qualifying section. In the first match, Pakistan lost 3–1. For the second match, Pakistan drew 0–0, Yemen eliminating Pakistan from the tournament with an aggregate score of 3–1 in favor of Yemen.[9]
2017 FIFA SuspensionEdit
Pakistan was suspended from all football activities by FIFA on 10 October 2017.[10][11]
Post Suspension (2018 – 2020)Edit
FIFA restored membership of PFF on 13 March 2018. With Asian Games approaching in August and SAFF Cup in September, Pakistan football team had very little time to prepare. PFF announced the signing of new Brazilian coach José Antonio Nogueira and started camps in Lahore. The team played friendlies in Bahrain with their premier clubs from mid of July till end of it. Pakistan lost 1, drew 1 and won 2 matches in Bahrain. Then, Pakistan national under-23 football team along with 3 senior players flew to Indonesia in mid August to take part in Asian Games. On 14 August 2018, the team played its first group game against the then runner ups of 2018 AFC U-23 Championship which resulted in a 3–0 loss. On 16 August 2018, the team faced a loss against Japan by a scoreline of 4–0. Pakistan defeated Nepal by 2–1 in their final group game which was the former's first win in Asian Games after 44 years. Pakistan expected to qualify for knockouts being 3rd in the group. However, the team fell short in terms of Goal Difference.
Pakistan senior team went to Bangladesh to take part in SAFF Cup which started in September, 2018 which was their first FIFA recognized tournament after a span of 3 years. Pakistani descent footballer Adnan Mohammad wasn't issued visa by Bengali authorities to participate in the competition. Pakistan played its first match of the event against Nepal (40 ranks higher than the former then) on 4 September 2018 which ended in a 2–1 win. This match also included Muhammad Ali's late stoppage time header to claim the winner as Pakistan got 3 crucial points. Pakistan lost its next match to hosts Bangladesh on 6 September 2018 by 1–0 after conceding a late goal. Green shirts played their final group game against Bhutan on 8 September 2018 which ended in a 3–0 win and sealed their place in semis after 13 years. Pakistan faced arch rivals India in semi final on 12 September 2018 and were ultimately knocked out by 3–1. After first half being goalless, Manvir Singh's brace and Summit Passi's header allowed the Blues to go 3–0 ahead. Hassan Bashir late consolation goal decreased the margin by 1 goal. It was a brilliant performance by Pakistani team despite returning to international football after 3 years. The team was later configured with the addition of star player [Shehryar Shafiq], a forward that scored a hat-trick against Colombia in a friendly. Unfortunately the team suffered a 5-3 defeat. The Asian Championship resulted in a comprehensive win against Nepal and China. The number 7 forward later carried an injury which led to the multiple defeats and the exit of Pakistan from the competition.
Star footballer Kaleemullah Khan wasn't a part of these events due to his disputes with PFF authorities.
After SAFF Cup, Pakistan negotiated with Palestine Football Association for a friendly. It was initially reported that the match will be played in Lahore, Pakistan on 15 November 2018 but Palestine decided to host the event afterwards. Due to visa issues, Pakistan team couldn't fly to Palestine on the desired date. So, the match was played on 16 November in which Shaheens lost by 2–1. Hassan Bashir scored the only goal for Pakistan in first 30 minutes which was assisted by debutant Adnan Mohammad.
Disappointment would soon strike again as Pakistan missed out the 2022 FIFA World Cup and 2023 AFC Asian Cup at the same time, when Pakistan lost to Cambodia twice in the first round and was eliminated.
Pakistan were once again suspended from all football activities by FIFA on 7 April 2021.[12][13]
Team imageEdit
StadiumsEdit
Punjab Stadium (Lahore) main entrance.
For the first fifty years of their existence, Pakistan played their home matches all around the country. They initially used cricket grounds before later moving on to football stadiums. Pakistan played at a number of different venues across the country, though by the year 2003, this had largely settled down to having the Punjab Stadium in Lahore as the primary venue, with Islamabad's Jinnah Sports Stadium and Karachi's People's Football Stadium used on occasions where the Punjab Stadium was unavailable for home matches.
The Pakistan Football Federation has its headquarters near Punjab stadium, which hosted most of the matches for the AFC President's Cup 2007. Muhammad Essa was the first player to score an international goal at this venue, against India in June 2005.
The Jinnah Sports Stadium is the largest football stadium in Pakistan with a capacity of over 45,000, whereas the People's Football Stadium is second largest with 40,000.
KitEdit
The Pakistan national team's home kit has always been a green shirt and white shorts. The colours are derived from the flag of Pakistan which is a green field with a white crescent moon and five-rayed star at its centre, and a vertical white stripe at the hoist side.[14] The away shirt colour has changed several times. The national team has used white shirt with white shorts or white shirt with green shorts. Historically, white shirt with green shorts is the most often used colour combination. The kits are currently manufactured by Forward Sports. Forward Sports is the official provider of balls for FIFA World Cup 2014 and FIFA World Cup 2018,[15] the company came into prominence for landing the contract of over 3,000 "Brazuca" balls that were used at the FIFA World Cup 2014 in Brazil. Bloomberg and BBC are among many news agencies that have covered the company.

RivalriesEdit
Pakistan often develops football rivalry with their neighbors and those who has historical tensions, although it was not large comparing to cricket rivalry.
Pakistan's major rival is India, due to long historical tensions between two countries. Pakistan's overall result against India is negative, achieving only three victories against its neighbor while drawing six and lost 15 matches. The rivalry is less known than their own cricket and hockey rivalries, due to Pakistan's lack of success comparing to India.[16]
Pakistan's other rival is Bangladesh, and their result is also negative, though less than with India, with six wins, four draws and eight defeats. Afghanistan is also another rivalry of Pakistan, due to previous tensions and war with Taliban. Their recent meeting in 2013 ended with 3–0 victory for Afghanistan, prompted celebration and anti-Pakistan sentiment in Afghanistan.[17]

1.5. Environment Settings¶

Overview¶

Matmodlab2 sets up and performs execution of input scripts in a customized
environment (not to be confused with Python virtual environments). The
environment can be modified by user environment files that are read at the
beginning of each job.

Environment File Locations¶

Matmodlab2 searches for the optional user environment file,
mml_userenv.py, in two locations, in the following order:

The location specified by the environment variable MML_USERENV

The current working directory.

The value of a parameter is the last definition encountered, meaning that
the order of precedence for user settings is the current working directory and
MML_USERENV.

Environment files use Python syntax, meaning that entries will have the
following form:

parameter = value

All usual Python conventions apply.

Recognized Environment Settings and Defaults¶

Below are the recognized environment settings and their defaults. Any of these
settings can be changed by specifying a different value in a user environment
file.

Note

When specifying environment settings in a user environment file, the
setting must have the same type as the default. If the default is a list,
the user setting is inserted in to the default list. If the default is a
dictionary, it is updated with the user setting.

IO Settings¶

verbosity

Matmodlab2 will print more, or less, information during job execution. Possible values are 0, 1, and 2. Set the value to 0 to suppress printing of information. Set the value to 2, or higher, to print increase the amount of information printed. The default value is 1.

SQA

Matmodlab2 will run extra software quality checks.

loglevel

Set the logging module logger level.  Value must be a valid logging level.

prepend_to_sys_path

If True, prepend the environment file's directory to the python search path.  If a string (or list of strings), Matmodlab2 will assume that the string (or list of strings) is a directory path and put it (or them) on the search path.

SINGING hopeful Cherie Elliott's dreams of fame turned to dust after she was barred from the final of a top music competition despite winning her heat - and she believes it's because she is white.
SINGING hopeful Cherie Elliott's dreams of fame turned to dust after she was barred from the final of a top music competition despite winning her heat - and she believes it's because she is white.
Her mum, Sandra, is furious that organisers of the nationwide talent contest stopped her daughter taking her rightful place in the final, and believes that her skin colour is the reason she was denied the chance to perform.
Sandra said: "Two of the judges came up to me and said how talented Cherie is, and I know she's capable of being in the final. I know there was an argument betwen the judges in the heats, and I'm certain of the reason why."
In June, Cherie, aged 19, won the Manchester heat of the Music of Black Origin (MOBO) UnSung Awards, and was promised a place in the grand final, with a recording contract on offer to the winner.
As the only white girl in the heat, Cherie wasn't hopeful of winning, despite having confidence in her own singing ability.
In the heat at Jumpin' Jaks, Cherie, from Grey Street, performed Alecia Keys' How Come You Don't Call Me before a panel of celebrity judges who awarded her joint first place alongside an Asian girl named Jacinta.
She was told she would be in the final, which was to take place at Sound in London yesterday (Wednesday).
The winner of the grand final receives a Ford Ka, a MOBO award, a recording contract with Island Records and representation by Shalit Global Management.
Cherie's performance won her rave reviews from the panel, including R 'n' B star Ashanti, who told Cherie that a heated argument had taken place backstage, as all but one of the judges thought she was by far the best contestant. But the decision was made to have two winners for the heat.
Cherie was asked to travel to London for a photoshoot, a tour of the company's Pineapple Studios and a meeting with the choreographers for the contest.
Sandra said: "The cost of the journey and accommodation came to about £400, which we were happy to pay, but afterwards we were told that the record company boss who met her thought she wasn't right for the competition and that he didn't 'feel it' with her. Although she is a white girl, she's heavily influenced by black music and especially Aretha Franklin, and her voice is excellent, with a massive range.
"I am certain that she has been cut from the final because she isn't black. A lot of others were allowed through who weren't as talented as Cherie but aren't white. We were told there were too many contestants in the final, but there's more to it than that."
Cherie said: "I have been told that the record company cut three people from the final, which was a decision the management company didn't agree with, and Severine from Shalit Global said that she was gutted that I wasn't allowed to go through to the final."
A MOBO spokesman said: "Originally, the heat winners were to have gone through to the final, but we had to cut down the number of finalists, as we can't expect the record company executives to see everyone who won their heats.
"Unfortunately, Cherie was one of the ones who missed out. We will, however, be reimbursing her for the money she spent coming to London."
Cherie isn't giving up on her dream of a career in the music industry, and is currently in contact with songwriters and producers in the hope that her big break is yet to come.


The range of FP-CA flameproof removable cartridge heaters offers a hazardous area heating solution for oil and similar applications where low heat density is required. The element can be withdrawn for inspection without system drain down. The standard heater consists of a single element or multiple cartridges fitted into a mounting flange. A robust Ex d terminal enclosure protects the electrical connections. The watts density of the element fitted depends upon the media to be heated and the kilowatt rating required.
The FP removable cartridge-type immersion heater range is certified for use in hazardous areas where the atmosphere is classified as a Zone 1 or 2 (IIA, IIB, IIC) gas group, or a Zone 21 or 22 (IIIA, IIIB, IIIC) dust group.
