Home Case studies The Chartered Governance Institute
Sector: Charities & not-for-profit organisations
The Chartered Governance Institute is a division of the global professional body for governance, which operates under the same name. Previously known as the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ICSA), the Institute provides qualifications, training and guidance to members and governance professionals all over the world.
With a Royal Charter purpose of leading 'effective and efficient governance and administration of commerce, industry and public affairs', the Institute works with regulators and policy makers to champion high standards of governance and has over 125 years' experience of educating and supporting governance professionals.
The Institute of Secretaries, as ICSA was formerly known, was founded by Thomas Brown in London in 1891 to represent the interests of corporation secretaries who governed the companies being set up as a result of the introduction of limited liability in 1855 and the first Companies Act in 1862. A number of mergers took place in the 1970s and 1980s to form the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators. In 2014, the institute moved its headquarters to Farringdon, London and rebranded to broaden its name to reflect all the members it supports in governance roles worldwide.
Today the global institute supports approximately 34,000 students and members living and working in over 80 countries. ICSA members are fundamental to the smooth running of organisations of all types and sizes, including publicly listed and private companies as well as organisations in the public, not-for-profit, education and sports sectors.
As well as conferring chartered professional status, a widely recognised mark of credibility and professional competence maintained through membership of ICSA, the institute also offers professional subscription to professionals without chartered status who work in governance roles, enabling them to access ICSA's expertise, resources and networking opportunities.
Willans has been advising ICSA: The Chartered Governance Institute since 2013. Our employment law team, led by Matthew Clayton, has guided the institute through issues involving employment status, pensions, employee relations, settlement agreements and membership matters. Our commercial property team dealt with the sub-letting of part of the institute's office headquarters in central London and has also advised on rent review documents.
Matthew Clayton MA LLM (Cantab), CIPP/E
Willans' expertise in employment law and membership matters has been invaluable since the firm first undertook work for us six years ago. Their commercial property team has also been a godsend, guiding us through a recent rent review process with great professionalism and ease. Their knowledge of the London commercial rental market is second to none and has made the whole process both speedy and seamless."

Remote Onboarding: How to Save New Hires from Social Isolation - Interview with Jerie Shaw (Senior Technical Program Manager at Shopify)
Creating an effective remote onboarding process is essential for tech companies working with a distributed model.
Yet very few companies get it right.
You can't build your remote onboarding process the same way you build an in-person onboarding process. Sitting at home and being on a video call is very different from getting together and meeting face to face.
Shopify has taken a proactive approach to maximizing the effectiveness of their remote onboarding program for software engineers. Jerie Shaw, as senior technical program manager at Shopify, led the shift to remote onboarding, and she shared everything she's learned so far. Interview by Karolina Toth on episode 36 of the Level-up Engineering podcast.

About Jerie Shaw
Jerie Shaw has been working at Shopify for five years, and she's currently the senior technical program manager leading the technical onboarding process. She has always been fascinated by education, and she fell in love with the challenge presented by building a remote onboarding process for software engineers.
What is technical onboarding at Shopify?
Technical onboarding at Shopify is the collective onboarding program for everybody in a technical role. Beyond software engineers, it includes employees in product, data, and UX. We have a holistic onboarding program that starts with getting your laptop set up on day one, which also includes in-depth technical bootcamps and workshops, for example, React Native.
As we keep using and refining our remote onboarding process, I'm starting to think we've built a superior method to onboard employees.
Shopify has become a remote company, and we plan to stay that way.
You could call it a hybrid team, because some employees will still work from offices, but the majority will continue to work from home after the pandemic ends. We plan to keep hub offices to use for occasions like celebrations at the end of onboarding cycles, but not as primary workspaces. This allows us to leverage the benefits of remote education, while also using office spaces for meeting in-person.
What are the differences between remote onboarding and in-person onboarding?
When the global pandemic broke out and companies switched to remote work, everyone expected to be able to use the same methods on Zoom that they had used in person. It didn't work well for anyone.
The remote environment forces educators to be deliberate and intentional about every detail. You can't rely on people being excited to be in a room together away from their desks, which was a key element for people participating in training.
Redesigning onboarding for remote work
We started from scratch, and asked managers what it looks like in everyday work for software engineers to have a significant impact. That's a clear sign of being successfully onboarded. Our goal was to figure out the actions they needed to get comfortable with.
For software engineers, this meant shipping pull requests, doing code reviews, pair programming regularly, and taking on-call shifts.
We started with this, and built activities, workshops, and bootcamps around these specifically. This allowed us to build an action-oriented remote onboarding program with clear goals. The engineering managers know what the most important challenges are for their specific team, and they select the related activities for their new hire.
This guided us while building an active remote onboarding program for developers.
We've built remote onboarding activities around keeping engagement and energy high.
In-person onboarding was smoother, because our team members became good at managing the energy in the room, as people fed off each other and get engaged. When it comes to onboarding remotely, you can't simply read the room. You have to be intentional about structuring activities to make sure you keep up energy and engagement.
Solving problems in a group
Solving problems together energizes people. On the other hand, spending an entire day on a video call drains their energy. Knowing this, we redesigned the onboarding experience to be active, synchronous, and hybrid.
We give a group of new employees a real challenge, like ship a dashboard or build a data pipeline. They work on it together at the same time. We provide them with support structures like a virtual pod for better collaboration, and experts on the topic to answer their questions via Slack.
This gives them a sense of being with a group and working on an interesting problem without being trapped in a video call for eight hours straight.
The biggest challenge when onboarding software engineers remotely is isolation and loneliness. We're trying to make the social aspect work remotely. Finding ways to have people together but not exhaust them is an interesting challenge.
What are your methods to make new employees feel part of the group?
We're still grappling with this challenge.
We're doubling down on synchronous learning experiences, so we onboard newly hired software engineers in groups. This encourages collaborating with a wider group or pairing up to solve problems. We offer drop-in social opportunities, like playing Drawful together online a couple of times a week.
We're involving the managers and onboarding buddies in the process. We used to do the onboarding separately and then hand over the new hires to their respective managers. Now we aim to turn this into a partnership.
We give new joiners something to build in the first week; they love that. While working on this, they will deliver something to their lead or their onboarding buddy, which they're going to review and celebrate with the new hire. This is another opportunity for new hires to connect with their manager in a meaningful way. This helps to alleviate the isolation.
Example for making remote onboarding a social experience
I'll give you an example from data onboarding. In week three, new hires spend the entire week shipping a data pipeline. They design a data model, implement a pipeline, and build a dashboard based on it.
At the beginning of the day, we have a 30-minute call with a group of new hires to explain the challenge for the day, for example, design a data model. They get their structured activity that leads them to their goal, and we let them go and work on it.
After that, they all stay online in a Slack channel and in a virtual pod. A virtual pod is a Google Hangouts meeting that stays open on the second monitor. Turning off the microphone or the video is okay, but they have the option to unmute as if they'd turn to a neighbor at the office, and ask for help, "Hey, I'm stuck on step five. How do we create this aspect of the data model?"
They provide support for each other, and it's a great opportunity for them to connect. More experienced employees drop in at certain points during the day, when the new hires are working on things we expect to be challenging and they may have questions.
At the end of the day, we make a group call to debrief and discuss what has happened. We also send their deliverables to their managers for feedback.
This is what a typical day looks like. This approach only requires new joiners to be in a video call for about one hour each day, but they get the experience of working with a group. This design had a big impact, and we're excited to watch the results.
Who is involved in the remote onboarding process for software engineers?
The hiring manager is the most crucial person in the process. They develop part of the onboarding plan, give feedback on deliverables, and select the onboarding buddy.
The onboarding buddy role is more informal but just as important. They're usually part of the team the new hire will join, and they help a lot in the social aspect. They help them find fun Slack channels to hang out in, or show them how to access the support they need.
The whole technical training team takes part in onboarding new software engineers. My team manages the technical onboarding processes for people; we work directly with every single new hire.
What does the remote onboarding process look like from beginning to end?
We've built a modular, customizable onboarding program for all new hires.
The first week is mostly spent learning about the history and company culture of Shopify and setting up your laptop. Near the end of the first week, new hires get to ship code for the first time. We're very proud of this.
In week two, new hires embed on the support team for a week. This helps them to build an in-depth understanding of the product. They build their own test store, configure shipping settings, and dig into the code.
Beyond this, they answer some of the questions of real customers dealing with challenges in their online store.
Week 3-4: Custom plan
In week three and four, new hires transition into work through a custom onboarding plan that their manager and the onboarding team have built for them. The manager selects from a list of optional learning experiences offered by my team, including bootcamps, workshops, and self-directed activities. We're continuously working to add more modules to the list.
The first two weeks are similar for every new hire, but weeks three and four are different based on the team they're going to join.
Create a smooth transition
Onboarding processes tend to differ significantly from being on the job. Our goal was to make the transition seamless by building a holistic program.
The first three days of introduction are run by our team called Startup; the next step is the technical onboarding with my team, and then new hires start to build the context. At this stage, they have one-on-one meetings to get to know their colleagues; they're introduced to the project they'll be working on and to the team's processes.
The first part is highly structured. After that, it moves towards problem-based, team-based and project-based learning. We don't consider employees to be fully onboarded after one month, but this is the period where we provide extra support.
We've also built in a transition period, while we're actively supporting a sense of community among new hires as they transition to their teams. It's important because remote work can get lonely, and by then, they've built connections they should cultivate.
These steps help them get comfortable in the company.
Do you track the progress of new hires once they finish the remote onboarding process?
We meet incredible people, and we often invite them back to our social company events. We have a great, vibrant community.
We also follow their progress to evaluate the success of our program. We haven't found the perfect formula for measuring the success of onboarding, so we're always exploring new ways to see how well we engage remote employees.
Successful onboarding metrics
We're examining many short-term metrics as guidance.
A useful metric to evaluate our program is how much time it takes for newly hired software engineers to get to their 10th pull request. The most important feedback for us is how long it takes for newly hired software engineers to get comfortable with shipping code. It's great for Shopify, but it's also the reason developers join. Our mission is to provide the knowledge and the confidence to contribute, so contribution is our key metric.
Another method is asking people after every learning module if it offered good value for their time. This provides us with some feedback.
Would you share details about new hires joining the support staff at week two of onboarding?
It's essential for us to make sure that developers joining Shopify have the opportunity to fully understand what we offer. We've explored different options for doing this. We realized that we have a group of people at customer support who are experts concerning our product and our customers.
We worked with the support team to design this program. A small group of new employees pair up with a couple of support advisors familiar in education, and take new hires through a guided program.
New joiners first learn about a specific part of our product, like shipping, then use it on a test store, and finally support customers struggling with that specific part of their store. All the while, they're supported by facilitators who are experts in the platform and in customer support. We often draft and review emails multiple times before they're approved to be sent to a customer.
It's a rewarding aspect of the onboarding process. It feels great to get a message back from a customer saying thanks and explaining how much you helped. The reactions of the engineers are amazing, and they get to experience this in week two.
What was your biggest mistake when designing a remote onboarding program for software engineers?
We heavily underestimated the impact of social isolation on new hires working remotely. We used to work in an office, but we've turned into a distributed company, and most people will work from home from now on. As people who are used to being in an office, it's hard to put yourself in the shoes of remote hires.
We've been experimenting with different ways to get people to start forming social relationships. It's not only important in remote onboarding, but also for people already working at the company.
Using the camera helps
It's part of the engineering culture at Shopify to turn the video and audio on at virtual meetings. Seeing people smile, nod or simply sit and pay attention is important to human connections.
We don't require people to turn their camera on. There may be reasons for not using it at any particular time. Most people show up to online meetings with the camera on anyway, and it improves the experience.
How do you start building a remote onboarding process for software engineers?
The focus on what daily work looks like for software engineers when they have a big impact gave us the right direction. It helped us build an active learning process focused on problem solving. This is a great first step.
We launched the new remote onboarding program on May 11th only for developers. We built a modular program, and this design gave us the option to launch with 15 optional activities, and add more as we go. The managers choose the useful activities for new hires, and if none of them is useful, they can simply jump into their role.
We've launched new activities with each group of new hires ever since. For example, we have a three-day Rails bootcamp.
Breaking up the remote onboarding process into modules frees you up to work iteratively, start small and experiment. You can build one module at a time, and replicate what works in other modules. Keep this up, and before long, you'll have a great remote onboarding experience.
This approach also helps because you get to learn a lot as you go and to apply it when designing the next module. Most of the onboarding methods we used to use in-person won't work remotely.
People didn't care if a workshop wasn't highly relevant or the lectures were boring, because they got to be together away from their desks. You lose this in a remote environment. It's not a good experience to sit at home alone and to listen to a boring lecture.
Flexibility is essential when onboarding remotely.
We have a global team, so we work with multiple time zones. Almost every part of our program has a fully self-directed option and a facilitated option as well, which helps manage the multiple time zones. Facilitated activities are tied to time, which can get uncomfortable for people living in different parts of the world, but the self-directed option is always available.
This also supports different types of learners. There are people out there who prefer the self-directed options to working directly with an educator and a group.

Addressing inequality for persons with disabilities
With lived experiences of having disabilities, Flinders University alum Michell enjoys her fulfilling work in her role as a disability support officer in Adelaide helping others with disabilities.
But Michelle was recently forced to confront the challenge many Australians with disabilities face in the pursuit of home ownership, with the Adelaide housing market becoming increasingly unaffordable after he rental was sold.
Michelle and her husband are currently living with relatives and she undertakes a long drive to work each day. She says they'd love to live closer to the city but can't secure a rental property closer to her work and are priced out of the housing market at the moment.
"Unfortunately, I know of many other people with disabilities who have experienced similar difficulties and shared similar stories about securing permanent housing. For each rental there are 150 to 200 applications, it's a competitive market. My husband and I have visited many rental inspections and have been up against so many potential renters."
Having already contributed to rising housing unaffordability, the Covid-19 pandemic is also directly impacting Australians with disabilities living in supported housing.
That's why a new Flinders University study is tackling how the pandemic has affected people with disabilities who are living in NDIS supported accommodation. The survey is wide-reaching and asks about how the pandemic affected many areas of daily life.
Through an anonymous online survey, Dr Darryl Sellwood, Dr Ben Bailey and Professor Joanne Arciuli from the Flinders University College of Nursing & Health Sciences and Professor Tom Shakespeare from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine are gathering information about respondents' experiences before public health measures were most restrictive, during restrictions and after they were scaled back around Australia. Two of the researchers have lived experience of disability.
"The overarching theme for the 2022 International Day of Persons with Disability is focusing on the innovation and transformative solutions which foster inclusiveness, and our research is directly assessing an important topic in access to support services, in line with the UN's core message about reducing inequality," says Professor Arciuli.
"This research project, led by Dr Darryl Sellwood and Dr Ben Bailey, will help guide future health policies to better support people with disabilities by informing policymakers about existing challenges in the NDIS framework, thereby ensuring people with disabilities aren't falling through gaps in the system."
"We're hoping participants can take part to paint an informed picture about their personal experiences living with NDIS support."
Participants in the study need to be:
Be living in Australia currently and for at least six months since January 2020
Have an NDIS plan which includes support to live independently. This could include living with other NDIS participants, living with family or friends or living by yourself and having paid personal support in your home (including things like providing personal care and cooking meals). If you're not sure you can check by looking at this website.
Be able to interact fluently using English
Be able to read sentence-level text independently or with assistance
Be able to input sentence-level responses (e.g., type or use voice to text function) independently or with assistance
The annual observance of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) on 3 December was launched in 1992 by the UN General Assembly. The observance of the day aims to promote an understanding of disability issues and mobilize support for the dignity, rights and well-being of persons with disabilities.
The 2022 global observance is commemorating the Day of Persons with Disabilities with the overarching theme of innovation and transformative solutions for inclusive development.

The Assyrian Tablets and the Lost City
By Bess Connolly Martell
https://news.yale.edu
The text, written in Sumerian, outlines the monthly rations that female weavers employed by the state received from the local administration in Irisagrig, where such rations tended to be unusually generous. Puzur-Iškur is known from other Irisagrig texts as having been an "overseer of the weavers." The month name Nig-Enlila was only used in Irisagrig and some nearby settlements, which confirms that the text has to come from this area. ( Yale News)
When Eckart Frahm, professor of Assyriology at Yale, received a call from Homeland Security with a request to come to New York to assess cuneiform tablets, he was intrigued by the opportunity to provide an assessment of the content and origins of these ancient artifacts.
Frahm, who is one of only a few hundred people worldwide who can accurately read cuneiform texts, was taken to an undisclosed location in the city, where he had about two and half days to study these texts in a warehouse in which they were being temporarily stored. Each tablet was about the size of a cell phone, and many were in a poor condition, with salt incrustations covering large portions of their surfaces.
"It seems likely that many of these tablets come from the same archive, which must have fallen prey to destruction at some point in time, with the tablets falling on the ground with one side exposed to water and the other protected," notes Frahm.
"It was a conveyer belt-like experience," says Frahm. "I had about three or four minutes to examine each tablet, and some were more difficult than others to decipher. On each tablet there may be a great secret that you might uncover if you spent the time with it."
The tablets were still in the original packages in which they had been sent to the U.S., where they were seized by customs officials before they made it to their intended destination. "They had been declared as being ceramic tiles valued at $300. This is how customs officials determined that something was not quite right," says Frahm.
One of the challenges of deciphering these tablets, says Frahm, is that the cuneiform writing system, which comprises about 900 signs, is very complex, and "each of these signs has many different possible readings depending on the context and on the time the tablet was written."
Frahm was able to establish fundamental facts about the tablets, including -- with the exception of a small few -- their authenticity and place of origin: southern Iraq. The bulk of the tablets, says Frahm, date back to the Ur III (2100--2000 BCE) and Old Babylonian (2000--1600 BCE) periods, and are mainly administrative and legal documents -- akin, says Frahm, "to today's emails or receipts. I was fundamentally trying to categorize these tablets along chronological lines."
This is an Irisagrig text that documents the disbursement of "fodder for the dogs of the palace." They receive 4 "gur" -- that is, roughly 1,200 liters -- of bread. ( Yale News)
A collection of incantations from ca. 2,500 BCE is among the most important of these tablets, notes Frahm. "It invokes the gods An, Enlil, and Enki and asks for divine support for the restoration of a city. Only very few comparable pieces are known. There are some remarkable sign lists used in Old Babylonian schools, as well as private letters and contracts from this period. A bilingual first millennium BCE text is also interesting; it is written in Babylonian and in Emesal, a dialect of Sumerian (in fact, originally a women's language) used in the cult."
Frahm explains that many of the Ur III tablets originated from the ancient city of Irisagrig, which is situated on or along the ancient course of the Tigris River. The process of identifying tablets from Irisagrig began back in 2003, when significant numbers of looted administrative texts from the Ur III period were confiscated by Jordanian border officials, shortly after the American invasion of Iraq had come to a close.
"Beginning in 2004, other such tablets appeared on the market, on eBay and elsewhere. Scholars systematically collected all the available information on the tablets and established in the following years that they had many things in common and seemed to originate from a Sumerian city named Irisagrig, which was known from documents from other Mesopotamian sites," says Frahm.
"The new texts from Irisagrig cast some fascinating light on what is, quite literally, a 'lost city,'"says Frahm, "and help us reconstruct the social and economic life in a 4,000-year-old Mesopotamian settlement. Among the most exciting tablets from the lot inspected by me is a large document that records allocations of sustenance plots to royal dependents, and another that records food distributed to the 'dogs of the palace,' who were apparently well fed. Even small expenditures such as the disbursement of waterskins were faithfully recorded."
Several tablets deal with the issuing of rations to palace personnel such as female weavers, notes Frahm, while others record food allocations for royal envoys and other officials, and describe their missions, which include inspecting work on a canal and improving the royal road house, which is a place where people would rest while travelling along a royal road on their way to another city.
Frahm says that these tablets shed light on intriguing similarities between the ancient civilizations that produced them and us, including things such as governmental economic planning, taxation, long distance trade, and credit, "all of these very familiar concepts which we take for granted today that can be traced back to that time. They are first recorded in this very elaborate way in ancient Mesopotamia."
These tablets were not properly excavated and the archaeological context has been lost, but there is nonetheless an enormous amount of information that is encoded in these tablets and can be gleaned from them, says Frahm.
"It is extremely regrettable that this looting takes place. It destroys context, and we are losing vast amounts of information. When we actually find these tablets in context we can really establish exact archives," says Frahm. Yet at the same time, he says, he does not believe that, without that archaeological context, all information is lost and these objects are worthless and their contents should not be published.
The deciphering of these tablets took some detective work, says Frahm. "I found the level of detail of these tablets quite fascinating. This was something new to me, and it was interesting to learn about this lost city which has only been identified in the past few years."
"I would obviously prefer to do that on properly excavated tablets but when you are the first person after some 4,000 years to look at an ancient text in a meaningful way it is always very exciting," says Frahm.
Together with some 200 additional tablets that Frahm did not see, plus a substantial number of clay bullae and cylinder seals, the tablets were returned to the Republic of Iraq in a repatriation ceremony on May 2 at the residence of the Iraqi ambassador in Washington, D.C. Frahm doesn't know whether they have already been sent back to Iraq. Frahm says he hopes that the information encoded in the texts be soon made public for further scholarly research, and then be used for the reconstruction of the history and culture of ancient Mesopotamia.

Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar pujara did not take field on day 4 of 4th Test against England due to injury
in Cricket, ENG vs IND
The fourth day of the fourth match of the five-match Test series against England at the Kennington Oval here was not entirely in India's name as the Indian bowlers could not break the opening pair of England. On the other hand, the Indian team suffered two major setbacks on the third day, the effect of which was seen on the fourth day of the match, as two Indian players could not field against England.
In fact, India's senior openers Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara could not come out to field against England on the fourth day due to injury. While batting on the third day of the match, Hitman Rohit Sharma sustained a knee injury and Cheteshwar Pujara sustained an ankle injury. Due to these injuries, Rohit and Pujara could not field in England's second innings on the fourth day of the fourth Test match.

Q: the version angular catch I have a probleme with my angular project version 6. I must write this code in version Angular6.
What is wrong, thans for yours helps
Version Angular4
login(user: User){

   let url = 'http://localhost:3000/login';
   return this.http.post<any>(url, user).map(res => {
     this.guardStorage(res.id, res.token, res.user, res.menu);
       return true;
     }).catch(error => {
       console.log(err);
       return Observable.throw(err);
   });
}

Version Angular6
login(user: User){

   let url = 'http://localhost:3000/login';
   return this.http.post<any>(url, user).pipe(map(res => {
     this.guardStorage(res.id, res.token, res.user, res.menu);
     return true;
   }),
     catchError(error => console.log(error))
   );
}

A: Possible SOlution:-
  login(user: User): Observable<any>{

       let url = 'http://localhost:3000/login';
       return this.http.post(url, user).pipe(
                map(res => {
         this.guardStorage(res.id, res.token, res.user, res.menu);
           return true;
         }),
                catchError((error: HttpErrorResponse) => {
                    let errMsg = (error.message) ? error.message :
                        error.status ? `${error.status} - ${error.statusText}` : 'login
                    is..';
                    console.error("Response Error :: " + errMsg);
                    return Observable.throw(errMsg); <---- check here
                })
            )
    }

or,

  login(user: User): Observable<any>{
       let url = 'http://localhost:3000/login';
       return this.http.post(url, user).pipe(
                map(this.extractData),
                catchError((error: HttpErrorResponse) => {
                    let errMsg = (error.message) ? error.message :
                        error.status ? `${error.status} - ${error.statusText}` : 'login
                    is..';
                    console.error("Response Error :: " + errMsg);
                    return Observable.throw(errMsg); <---- check here
                })
            )
    }

  private extractData(res: Response) {
        let body = res;
        console.warn("Response:: " + JSON.stringify(body)); <-- check response
        return body || [];
    }

A: you need to return an observable from the catchError function
import {throwError } from 'rxjs';

login(user: User){

   let url = 'http://localhost:3000/login';
   return this.http.post<any>(url, user).pipe(map(res => {
     this.guardStorage(res.id, res.token, res.user, res.menu);
     return true;
   }),
     catchError(error => throwError(error))
   );
}

With choir membership comes a number of specific duties. While each choir has unique membership expectations, most groups generally outline a list of membership responsibilities that include rehearsals, private preparation, and the anticipated commitment during a calendar year or performance season. Religious choirs may have additional membership duties revolving around holiday performances and church retreats.
Choirs generally expect members to be on time and prepared for rehearsals. Many choirs have weekday rehearsals in the evenings. Some rehearse an hour or two before a worship service or performance. Members should arrive early to properly warm up their voices for a rehearsal. If missing a rehearsal is unavoidable, a choir member should let the choir director know as soon as possible in case a substitute is needed.
Choir membership typically requires additional practice time at home beyond rehearsals. Because choir directors generally select music in advance of worship services or performances, a choir member should obtain any sheet music and accompanying CDs early in order to practice at home prior to a rehearsal. Going over the music at home ensures rehearsals will run as efficiently as possible.
Choirs typically require participation during Sunday worship services as well as special holiday performances. A choir member should commit to normal weekday rehearsals, Sunday worship and holiday performances that are included in the choir handbook.

Watch: 80,000 Pounds of US Bombs Pound ISIS 'Infested' Island in Iraq
By Samuel Allegri
September 10, 2019US
In this photo provided by South Korea Defense Ministry, U.S. Air Force F-35B stealth fighter jets drop bombs as they fly over the Korean Peninsula during a joint drills, South Korea on Sept. 18, 2017. (South Korea Defense Ministry via AP)
U.S. and coalition forces dropped about 80,000 pounds of laser-guided bombs on a reportedly ISIS "infested" island believed to have become a haven for the terrorist group.
Dramatic footage seen from the battle against terrorists in the Middle East shows massive explosions all over the island on the morning of Sep. 10.
Operation Inherent Resolve, the coalition fighting the terror forces, released a statement saying that they are "denying Daesh the ability to hide on Qanus Island."
The commander of the coalition, Maj. Gen. Eric T. Hill, continued saying, "We're setting the conditions for our partner forces to continue bringing stability to the region."
Here is the Video.
VIDEO: Here's what it looks like when @USAFCENT #F15 and #F35 jets drop 36,000 Kg of bombs on a Daesh infested island. ???????? هكذا تبدوا الجزيرة الموبوءة بداعش بعد أن أسقطت عليها الطائرات المقاتلة #أف-15 و #أف-35 36,000 كغم من الذخيرة pic.twitter.com/2v6FAEL9Rn
— OIR Spokesman Col. Myles B. Caggins III (@OIRSpox) September 10, 2019
U.S. F-15 and F-35 fighter-bombers lit the Qanus island which is located by the Salah ad Din Province, north of Baghdad, by the Tigris river.
The coalition believes that the island is a "major transit hub" for ISIS.
"Follow-on, ground clearance operations, are currently taking place by the 2nd Iraqi Special Operations Forces Battalion to destroy a major transit hub for [ISIS] members moving from Syria and the Jazeera desert into Mosul, Makhmour, and the Kirkuk region" of Iraq, the coalition said, according to ABC.
"We're denying Daesh the ability to hide on Qanus Island," Maj. Gen. Hill, the "We're setting the conditions for our partner forces to continue bringing stability to the region."
Daesh is the Arabic acronym for the ISIS terrorist group.
After losing the self-proclaimed caliphate in Iraq and Syria, ISIS members have been trying to regroup and reorganize, Brig. Gen. William Seely, the U.S. commander of Task Force-Iraq in Baghdad, told ABC.
"As they withdrew back into Syria, they looked at their future. And so they started sending out fighters; sending out logistics; sending out groups of people to either get back into maybe (internally displaced people) camps or refugee camps and try to blend back (in)," Seely said. "They're trying to get logistics set up. They're trying to conduct operations. They're trying to refinance their operations."
According to Fox, there were more than 200 bombs dropped on ISIS in August and approx. 5,000 in August of 2017, at the height of U.S. military intervention.
President Donald Trump announced on Twitter that he had canceled a secret meeting at Camp David because of an attack in Kabul. One American soldier and 11 other people died in the attack, which was believed to be an attempt to build "false leverage."
….only made it worse! If they cannot agree to a ceasefire during these very important peace talks, and would even kill 12 innocent people, then they probably don't have the power to negotiate a meaningful agreement anyway. How many more decades are they willing to fight?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 7, 2019
"What kind of people would kill so many in order to seemingly strengthen their bargaining position?" asked the President, "They didn't, they only made it worse! If they cannot agree to a ceasefire during these very important peace talks, and would even kill 12 innocent people, then they probably don't have the power to negotiate a meaningful agreement anyway. How many more decades are they willing to fight?"

Draw a decision tree so that the leaves are in lexicographical order when read from left to right. Then answer the following questions:
(a) What is the rank of $5431$?
(b) What function has rank $0$?
I have been looking all over the internet but I could not find a good resource for decision tree. I would be very appreciate it if anyone could show me how to approach this problem. Thanks

21.05.2009 - Nature photographers to assemble for another Bloodless Hunt 21.05
This weekend, 22-24 May, the Bloodless Hunt will be held for the 12th time already, and the otter will be the game this year. The hunt with cameras will take place in the Killingi-Nõmme hunting area of RMK and the stopping-point for the photographers will be at the field base of geologists at Särghaua.
"We chose the otter as the game this year because there are many suitable habitats for the animal in the selected hunting area," said nature photographer Tiit Hunt, one of the organisers of the event and the head zoologist of the Estonian Natural History Museum. "In previous years, we have captured almost all well-known residents of the Estonian forests, but the otter has not been the game before. Whether anyone will see this merry animal that is rarely seen, and get a nice picture of it, will be determined during the hunt," said Tiit Hunt.
During the animal photographing contest, organised in cooperation between the non-profit association MTÜ Vereta Jaht, the State Forest Management Centre and the Estonian Natural History Museum, the best nature photographers in Estonia take shots of animals, birds and insects. This year, more than 30 nature photographers are expected to join in the hunt. As usual, well-known photographers Ingmar Muusikus, Jarek Jõepera and Aarne Ader will participate, as well as the nature man Hendrik Relve, the insect scientist Urmas Tartes, former member of the Riigikogu Margus Leivo, and also several other people known to practice photography or hunting. The nature photographers will be assisted and guided by the professional hunters of RMK.
Every contestant will choose the ten best shots from their nature photographs taken over the course of the three days. From these, the jury will, in turn, choose the 50 most interesting photos that will be exhibited to interested people at the Estonian Natural History Museum in the autumn. The winning works will also be announced there.
The animal photo contest "Bloodless Hunt" has been organised since 1997. Billy-goat, wild boar, beaver, wild deer, elk, bear, lynx, capercaillie and black grouse have been targets in earlier years.

A Lovely Love Story, Edward Monkton.
"You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving. The great acts of love are done by those who are habitually performing small acts of kindness. We pardon to the extent that we love. Love is knowing that even when you are alone, you will never be lonely again. And great happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved. Loved for ourselves. And even loved in spite of ourselves."
so important a biological phenomenon as first love?

Thomas Jefferson supported Bible reading in school; this is proven by his service as the first president of the Washington D. C. public schools, which used the Bible and Watt's Hymns as textbooks for reading.
I have always said, always will say, that the studious perusal of the sacred volume will make us better citizens.
Barton's reference for Jefferson's service on the Washington D. C. school board is J. O. Wilson, "Eighty Years of Public Schools of Washington," in the Records of the Columbia Historical Society, vol. 1, 1897, pp. 122-127. Barton's quotation from Jefferson is taken from Herbert Lockyear, The Last Words of Saints and Sinners, 1969.
...poor children shall be taught reading, writing, grammar, arithmetic, and such branches of the mathematics as may qualify them for the professions they are intended to follow, and they shall receive such other instruction as is given to pay pupils, as the board my from time to time direct, and pay pupils shall, besides be instructed in geography and in the Latin language.
As you can see, there is nothing in this plan that mentions religious education or the use of the Bible in reading instruction. Nor, we might add, was the Bible mentioned in any of Jefferson's plans for public education in the state of Virginia, either before or after his presidency (check out an extract from Leonard Levy's book Jefferson and Civil Liberties: The Darker Side for documentation on this point). There is nothing, absolutely nothing, in Barton's source that connects Jefferson to the practice of Bible reading. So how did the Bible come to be used in the Washington public schools? Remarkably, Barton's own source provides an answer to that question.
55 have learned to read in the Old and New Testaments, and are all able to spell words of three, four, and five syllables; 26 are now learning to read Dr. Watts' Hymns and spell words of two syllables; 10 are learning words of four and five letters. Of 509 out of the whole number admitted that did not know a single letter, 20 can now read the Bible and spell words of three, four, and five syllables, 29 read Dr. Watts' Hymns and spell words of two syllables, and 10 words of four and five letters.
In other words, the first mention of the use of the Bible and a Christian hymnal in the Washington public schools is in connection with a curriculum adopted in 1812, three years after Jefferson has left Washington and the school board for retirement in Virginia. Contrary to Barton's implied claim, Jefferson was not president of the school board when the Bible was being used for instruction. Barton simply omits information he doesn't want his readers to know, and so allows them to draw an conclusion that his own source refutes. Barton, we conclude, is either sloppy or dishonest in his use of evidence. Either alternative should cause the reader to question the soundness of Barton's scholarship.
So what about Barton's quote from Herbert Lockyear's The Last Words of Saints and Sinners? We tracked down the book and discovered that it had no footnotes that direct the reader back to either Jefferson's own writings, or to secondary accounts of Jefferson's life; the quote, in other words, is untraceable. Moreover, we've never seen this quote referenced in any scholarly work on Jefferson's attitude toward religion, or in any account of Jefferson's death (the context of Lockyear's book). If Jefferson uttered these words, it has apparently escaped the notice of most historians.
Finally, we draw your attention to a last, nagging inaccuracy in Barton's passage. While it's true that Jefferson was elected president of the Washington public school board in 1805, Wilson (Barton's source) goes on to note that Jefferson was "prevented from ever discharging its duties by others of paramount concern." Once again, Barton misreports his source; he leaves out information that indicates that Jefferson was not as involved in the work of the school board as the title "president" suggests. There is no good reason for Barton to omit this information unless, of course, he wants to mislead his readers.

Few would disagree that the most famous of all restorations is the Greer-Black-Prudhomme 1962 car. It was one of the most beautiful dragsters ever built was also one of the most successful. In an era when function took precedence over form, the legendary Greer, Black & Prudhomme dragster combined the best of both worlds, that is, it looked great and ran even better. With a combination of the money from Tommy Greer, the engine and clutch science of Keith Black and the raw driving skills of a young car painter by the name of Don Prudhomme, the GB&P car literally struck fear in the hearts of its competitors.
Here in his own words Kent Fuller tells how it all began:
Owning to the fact that Stuckey had a sign on the car that said "Chassis by Fuller" and talked me up pretty good. He was a hell of a salesman. Car was sold to Cash Auto Parts to help pay hospital bills. Bay area guys had a benefit race for him. He went home to recoup for awhile. By the time he came out again, Louie Senter had the car. Stuckey planned on running the car with Louie and I didn't hear any of that story except Stuckey said, those guys down there didn't know what they were doing. By this time ZPF has won Bakersfield and I had quite a few fuel cars running. Stuckey was still going being my best salesman and I was planning on building him another car to be my representative. Prudhomme and I were having trouble with Zueschel's ego and had broken up the ZPF partnership. I was going to put 2 unblown fuel Chevys side by side in the car and had figured out a really slick driveline where I wouldn't have to alter the looks of the car. Chet Herbert said he would sponsor the engines so I bought 2 sets of heads and started on the driveline. Sent the heads over to Dick Harryman to get ported. He got them all done very quickly and sold them to someone when he ran short of money. Hardly pissed me off at all. By this time Louie Senter had sold the car to Greer and Stuckey was going to run it for them. Back under the heading of "loose lips sink ships."
Stuckey was still out at the shop telling me all his plans. Keith (Black) and (I think) Dan Broussard came and took me to lunch, said they were leary of Stuckey and what could I tell them about him. What I said was "I thought he was my factory rep" Keith said if he was, he wasn't a good one and told me a few disparaging things Stuckey had said. Keith didn't want to do any chassis work and still thought chassis were some mysterious thing. I was looking for a place to park Prudhomme so I could get him back after I got my car done. He was back hanging around with Ivo and that was not to my advantage at the time. Stuckey had told me he was going to let Keith build the engine but was going to slip in his own cam, time it and not let Keith know what it was. He thought he was the only one in the country that could make the chassis work by changing the timing, in this case it was 8 degrees retarded.
When I mentioned this to Keith, he got as pissed off as I had ever seen him so we made a deal to do the chassis work for nothing if he would give Prudhomme a ride. I was sharing a shop with Wayne Ewing when they brought the car out. I started on the chassis work and they made a deal with Wayne for the body.
What was different about my car was the mid section and motor mounts. Keith wanted a standard Donovan rear end so he could use the billet axels. I cut the top rail out from the front motor mount to the rear end upright. The original way was the Donovan engine plate with the ears out the side so to pull the engine, you had to take off the clutch can, clutch flywheel, enging plate, then you could remove the motor. My way was to make an aluminum engine plate that was a body former-firewall and rear engine mount. It hung over the top framerails and was easy to take out with 4 small bolts. I put a new toprail engine plate upright, rearend mounts, and motormounts. The chassis went next door to Wayne.
By this time, Ansen and Pink decided to buy the ZPF car and I decided to move North because of a lot of promises from Jim McClennan. Just eat a piece of pie in the sky and things will be wonderful. This is the time for the story of Stuckey tracing my flamecut patterns and going into business with Ivo happened that I've told too many times and I'm not going to do it here. I had moved North by the time Wayne got the body done. I drove down to help put the car together and we took it out to Pomona for the first time.
The only two parts left on the car that Stuckey had anything to do with were the streamline tubing draglink and steering wheel. The draglink broke first time out because Stuckey had made it out of two short pieces of tubing welded in the middle and you will notice in the picture of the first time out the black tape on the draglink where it broke. Made him a new round tubing draglink but I could never get him to take the ugly steering wheel off as that was Pruhommes favorite thing in dragracing. Probably still is. Stuckeys last comment to Black as he is driving out of town was "you have really screwed up and nobody will ever hear of this car again".
Tommy Greer - Don Prudhomme - Keith Black
As far as anyone knows, this is the very first shot taken of the new car/team that took drag racing by storm starting in 1962.
With its yellow body (the car also ran with a red/orange paint scheme), chassis by Kent Fuller and a 392 Chrysler engine from the mind of Keith Black, the Greer, Black & Prudhomme dragster cranked out some of the best times of the era, including an unbelievable 7.77 second elapsed time at over 191 miles per hour in 1964. Then, at the end of their remarkable two year run, the team basically disbanded, with Tommy Greer going into drag boats, while Keith Black became "just an engine builder" and not a car owner and Prudhomme, well, he went on to have a moderately successful career in the sport of drag racing as both a driver and a car owner and that's not too bad for a kid who started out as a car painter in Southern California. And, coincidentally, one of the first cars that he painted just happened to be this Greer, Black and Prudhomme yellow dragster.
"Greer, Black & Prudhomme" - AA/FD - Fontana, 1963. This shot of the car gives a true aspect of just how short it was.
Keith Black runs behind the car as Prudhomme moves up to stage at Lions, 1964.
If this car looks strangely familiar its because it used to belong to the lesser known team of Tommy Greer, Keith Black and Don Prudhomme. Somehow the "magic" didn't get sold with the car. "Reno Auto Wrecking" - AA/FD - Lions, 1967 - after this the car went into "the rafters" until Davis restored in in 1968.
The restoration of this incredible piece of drag racing history was left in the hands of Steve Davis - who was not new at this game and remains to this day as one of the premier car restorers on the planet. Steve's attention to detail is only rivaled by Bruce Dyda and Pat Foster.
Needless to say, a popular stop in the CHRR pits is Steve Davis' restored "Greer-Black-Prudhomme" Fuller car along with the recreated Keith Black 1958 Ranchero for a push car. Class act all the way.
"Pete" Garramone Photo
Early Saturday morning of the 2000 CHRR the crown jewels of the restored "Fuller Fleet" were rolled out to the track for a photo shoot. Photos don't do this scene justice at all! "The Magicar" -- "The Vagabond" -- "Greer-Black-Prudhomme" -- "Western Mfg. Special".
Steve Davis in the car for Cacklefest One
Cacklefest One - Davis takes his spot on the fabled 1/4 mile at Fomosa Dragway (more commonly known as Bakersfield). Although the car was officially retired after the 2005 Cacklefest, it will forever remain a champion then and a champion now. It will be on display at the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum for years to come... hopefully.

Final appearance for the GBP car for a while was the 2004 Cacklefest. It was, until 2007, retired by its owner. It's now back in action at selected events.
