Five Eyes Squinting

[ by Charles Cameron — actually, I think the IC keeps its eyes fixed on threats, foreign and domestic, as required ]
Five Eyes is, as most Zenpundit readers will know, the intelligence-sharing arrangement between Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and US. Well, at the moment it's squinting. From the day before yesterday:
The Independent, It's like nothing we have come across before
The attorney general is focusing on the theory, aired on far-right conspiracy sites, and raised by Trump and Giuliani, that Ukraine framed Vladimir Putin over the US election in a complex triple-cross operation by impersonating Russian hackers.
Trump and Barr have also been asking other foreign governments for help in investigating the FBI, CIA and Mueller investigators. The US president has called on the Australian prime minister Scott Morrison for assistance, while the attorney general has been on similar missions to the UK and Italy.
And the information being requested has left allies astonished. One British official with knowledge of Barr's wish list presented to London commented that "it is like nothing we have come across before, they are basically asking, in quite robust terms, for help in doing a hatchet job on their own intelligence services".

[ by Charles Cameron –a quick round 'em up, rawhide of news and views — read the first one, even if you skip the rest — some of which are frankly hilarious, and darkly sad too — and towards the end, there's one mind-blower with gospel reference! ]
Millennial mils debate Syria:
This, from WaPo's summary of the Democratic debate of 15 October 2019:
There was a point in the middle of the debate when South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (Hawaii) had an impassioned debate about whether the United States should be in Syria. Gabbard was the most noninterventionist candidate on the stage, while Buttigieg said Syria was perhaps the one place in the Middle East where we continue to need a presence. That disagreement aside, this was two millennial veterans of Middle East wars — the only two combat veterans among the leading candidates — having that debate on a presidential stage. That's quite the moment.
That's a debate within the debate, and the criterion for being on that stage is a lot stiffer than for the stage-of-twelve.
BTW, hey matryoshka! —
Serpents I:
And then this, for a serpent-bites-tail moment, with the middle slytherin' of the snake passing through time:
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R) offers a lesser time-inflected serpent on Twitter:
Wow. We bombed our own base on purpose, because of the impulsive decision by @realDonaldTrump didn't leave time to evacuate the right way. Is this the America you grew up believing in?
Word choices I:
Inside that Giuliani serpent piece, there's this exquisite word choice by a company pertinent to the investigation:
Word choices II:
But it gets better, once you look at the Giuliani associate twins, Igor Fruman and Lev Parnas:
Snap!!
Serpents II:
Here's a serpent formerly biting its tail attempting to unbite it:
It's a microcosm of the same Trumpworld shamelessness that has suddenly converted Donald Trump Jr. into an outspoken opponent of nepotism.
Here's a report of Bolton's grenade attack on Giuliani:
Giuliani's growing headaches are political as well as legal. Yesterday Trump's former top adviser on Russia and Europe, Fiona Hill, reportedly told congressional investigators that her boss, former national security adviser John Bolton, labeled Giuliani "a hand grenade who's going to blow everybody up" by meddling in Ukraine…
That's six, just from my first scan — seven would be enough for me to close this and post!
Seventh:
Oh well, as you may know, my degree is in Theology from Christ Church, Oxford, and I've continued my interest in New Testament scholarship while broadening it to include Gnostic, Buddhist, shamanic and other sources..
Today's haul [well, a day or two ago, but today at the time of writing!] contains a second matryoshka instance, this one from a piece about "Secret Mark" — the gospel fragment preserved by Clement of Alexandria and disclosed to the world by Morton Smith in 1973:
Since the Swine do not actually appear to have any overlap with the adjacent story of the possessed man, the story of the Swine appears to be another intercalation or at least addition. It seems like "Mark" had a collection of unconnected stories that he pasted together to create a single narrative. His literary techniques with intercalations and framing stories (i.e. putting some of his stores inside other stories instead of pasting them one after another) give us an idea of how freely he worked with his material.
What's really interesting about the fragment of a letter from Saint Clement containing a previously unknown section of Mark's gospel is that it suggests that Jesus taught some form of initiation into :
And they came into Bethany, and a certain woman, whose brother had died, was there. And coming, she prostrated herself before Jesus and said to him, ?Son of David, have mercy on me.' But the disciples rebuked her. And Jesus, being angered, went off with her into the garden where the tomb was, and straightaway a great cry was heard from the tomb. And going near, Jesus rolled away the stone from the door of the tomb. And straightaway, going in where the youth was, he stretched forth his hand and raised him, seizing his hand. But the youth, looking upon him, loved him and began to beseech him that he might be with him. And going out of the tomb they came into the house of the youth, for he was rich. And after six days Jesus told him what to do and in the evening the youth came to him, wearing a linen cloth over [his] naked [body.] And he remained with him that night, for Jesus taught him the mystery of the kingdom of God. And thence, arising, he returned to the other side of the Jordan.
The mystery of the kingdom of God?
Some second form of baptism? In the spirit? With an entheogen, as (arguably) in other "mysteries" such as that of Eleusis? A sexual, tantric mystery (the young man is instructed to be naked)? Or an initiation into meditation techniques? Who knows. All we can say is that according to this fragment, Jesus seems to have had some deeper teaching that he revealed after seven days to the young man..

There, number seven, and it's a humdinger! — and every one of them featuring some sort of formal interest!
Boom! Bonus:
Hobby Lobby and a Bible fragment controversy
I ran across this while searching for a link to Morton Smith's book — or was it the other way around? Anyway, this is about a different Mark gospel fragment, indeed possibly the earliest New Testament manuscript of all:
From today's Guardian:
An Oxford University professor has been accused of selling ancient Bible fragments to a controversial US company that has been involved in several high-profile scandals related to its aggressive purchases of biblical artefacts.
Dirk Obbink, one of the world's most celebrated classics professors, has been named after an investigation by staff associated with Oxford's Oxyrhynchus Papyri project.
He is accused of selling without permission a number of ancient fragments to the US arts and crafts chain Hobby Lobby. Its owners, the Green family, are prominent Christian evangelicals and, under the guidance of the Hobby Lobby president, Steve Green, were behind the founding of Washington's $400m Museum of the Bible in 2017. [ .. ]
The lecturer in papyrology and Greek literature has previously denied some of the allegations, telling the Daily Beast in 2018 that the claim he sold a fragment of the first chapter of the gospel of Mark to Hobby Lobby was not true.
Gospel Coalition, 2015, How Should We Respond to Reports that a Fragment of Mark Dates to c1 ?
It was reported yesterday that a three-dozen member team of scientists and scholars—apparently including the well-respected New Testament historian Craig Evans—is working on a papyrus fragment of the Gospel of Mark, discovered as part of an ancient Egyptian funeral mask.
Due to the expense of securing clean papyri sheets in the ancient world, the papier-mâché of these masks was made from recycled papyri that already contained writing. Evans explains, "We're recovering ancient documents from the first, second and third centuries. Not just Christian documents, not just biblical documents, but classical Greek texts, business papers, various mundane papers, personal letters."
Amazing, eh? Metacognitive reading: think about it, what's hidden in our masks?
Christianity Today 2018, Despite Disappointing Some, New Mark Manuscript Is Earliest Yet
The Egypt Exploration Society has recently published a Greek papyrus that is likely the earliest fragment of the Gospel of Mark, dating it from between A.D. 150–250. One might expect happiness at such a publication, but this important fragment actually disappointed many observers. The reason stems from the unusual way that this manuscript became famous before it became available.
I'm afraid that's the story of its questionable sale..
Oh dammit, Professor Obbink is a tutor at Christ Church — my own college.

What a ditz. She is apparently trying to draw publicity, which she seems to be getting, despite the fact her comments have been either deemed incorrect or ridiculously inane. She looks like a past anorexic. What is it these days, that gays and lesbians have been given so many platforms in the media? Sheesh! Aren't they special?
Cortez is a commie.....too stupid to realize it.....never been anywhere, never done anything.....just like Hussein Obama......failure in the making.
Wish all would just ignore her. She's not worth it.
Isn't there some saying....'there's no such thing as bad publicity'?

AS the mercury soars towards a predicted 40 degrees across the Central West, people are reminded that pets can suffer from heat related illness just as easily as a person.
A severe heatwave is stretched across the region this week and many people and pets are suffering from the heat.
An alert by the RSPCA NSW said cats and dogs cannot respond to heat in the same way as humans do.
"We have sweat glands all over our bodies that help us regulate our temperature, but dogs and cats only have a few in their feet and around their noses," the alert states.
"Cats are useless - won't lie on a wet towel, won't sit in front of a fan, rather hug the bathroom wall", reader Alisha Wood said.
"Many animals rely on panting and external cooling to lose heat.
As pets are not able to cool themselves down as easily, they should be left in a cool, well-ventilated and shaded environment with access to clean fresh drinking water.
Is a state of hyperthermia (elevated core body temperature above the normal range) resulting in heat injury to tissues.
Heatstroke occurs when heat generation exceeds the body's ability to lose heat.
Heatstroke is a very serious, life-threatening condition.
It can cause damage to a pet's internal organs, sometimes to the point where they stop functioning and can be rapidly fatal. It requires urgent treatment.
All animals are susceptible to heatstroke so you need to make sure that you take active steps to prevent it.
Instigate emergency first aid to help normalise your pet's body temperature.
Apply or spray tepid/cool water onto their fur/skin, followed by fanning to maximise heat loss.
Don't use ice-cold water or ice as this may exacerbate the problem. Wetting down the area around your pet can also help.
Heatstroke is a life-threatening emergency, so even if your pet looks like they may be recovering or you just suspect they might have suffered heatstroke they should still always be checked by a vet.
Heatstroke can cause organ damage which might not appear straight away. Given the seriousness of this condition, it is better to be safe than sorry and have your pet checked out.

Clara Lou "Ann" Sheridan (February 21, 1915 – January 21, 1967) was an American actress and singer. She is best known for her roles in the films San Quentin (1937) with Humphrey Bogart, Angels with Dirty Faces (1938) with James Cagney and Bogart, They Drive by Night (1940) with George Raft and Bogart, City for Conquest (1940) with Cagney and Elia Kazan, The Man Who Came to Dinner (1942) with Bette Davis, Kings Row (1942) with Ronald Reagan, Nora Prentiss (1947), and I Was a Male War Bride (1949) with Cary Grant.

Early life
Clara Lou Sheridan was born in Denton, Texas, on February 21, 1915, the youngest of five children (Kitty, Pauline, Mabel and George) of garage mechanic George W. Sheridan and Lula Stewart (née Warren). According to Sheridan, her father was a grandnephew of Civil War Union general Philip Sheridan.

She was active in dramatics at Denton High School and at North Texas State Teachers College. She also sang with the college's stage band and played basketball on the North Texas women's basketball team. Then, in 1933, Sheridan won the prize of a bit part in an upcoming Paramount film, Search for Beauty, when her sister Kitty entered Sheridan's photograph into a beauty contest.

Career

Paramount
After the release of Search for Beauty in 1934, Paramount put the 19-year-old under contract at a starting salary of $75 a week ($ today), where she played mostly uncredited bit parts for the next two years. She can be glimpsed in the following 1934 films, and if credited, as Clara Lou Sheridan: Bolero, Come On Marines!, Murder at the Vanities, Shoot the Works, Kiss and Make-Up with Cary Grant, The Notorious Sophie Lang, College Rhythm (directed by Norman Taurog whom Sheridan admired), Ladies Should Listen with Cary Grant, You Belong to Me, Wagon Wheels, The Lemon Drop Kid with Lee Tracy, Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch, Ready for Love, Limehouse Blues with George Raft and Anna May Wong, and One Hour Late.

Along with fellow contractees, Sheridan worked with Paramount's drama coach Nina Mouise and performed on the studio lot in such plays as The Milky Way and The Pursuit of Happiness. While in The Milky Way, Paramount decided to change her first name from Clara Lou to the same as her character Ann.

Sheridan was then cast in the film Behold My Wife! (1934) at the behest of director and friend Mitchell Leisen. The role provided two standout scenes for the actress, including one in which her character commits suicide, to which she attributed Paramount's keeping her under contract.

She continued with bit parts in Enter Madame (1935) with Elissa Landi and Cary Grant, Home on the Range (1935) with Randolph Scott and Evelyn Brent, and Rumba (1935) with George Raft and Carole Lombard, until her first lead role in Car 99 (1935), with Fred MacMurray. "No acting, it was just playing the lead, that's all", she later said. She next had a support role as the romantic interest in Rocky Mountain Mystery (1935), a Randolph Scott Western.

She then appeared in Mississippi (1935) with Bing Crosby and W. C. Fields, The Glass Key (1935) with George Raft in a brief speaking role for which she was billed as "Nurse" in the cast list at the end of the film, and (having one line) The Crusades (1935) with Loretta Young. In her last picture under her deal with Paramount, the studio loaned her out to Poverty Row production company Talisman to make The Red Blood of Courage (1935) with Kermit Maynard. After this, Paramount declined to renew her contract. Sheridan made Fighting Youth (1935) at Universal and then signed a contract with Warner Bros. in 1936.

Warner Bros.

Sheridan's career prospects began to improve at her new studio. Her early films for Warner Bros. included Sing Me a Love Song (1936); Black Legion (1937) with Humphrey Bogart; The Great O'Malley (1937) with Pat O'Brien and Bogart, her first real break; San Quentin (1937), with O'Brien and Bogart, singing for the first time in a film; and Wine, Women and Horses (1937) with Barton MacLane.

Sheridan moved into B picture leads: The Footloose Heiress (1937); Alcatraz Island (1937) with John Litel; and She Loved a Fireman (1937) with Dick Foran for director John Farrow. She was a lead in The Patient in Room 18 (1937) and its sequel Mystery House (1938). Sheridan was in Little Miss Thoroughbred (1938) with Litel for Farrow and supported Dick Powell in Cowboy from Brooklyn (1938).

Universal borrowed her for a support role in Letter of Introduction (1938) at the behest of director John M. Stahl. For Farrow, she was in Broadway Musketeers (1938), a remake of Three on a Match (1932).

Sheridan's notices in Letter of Introduction impressed Warner Bros. executives and she began to get roles in better quality pictures at her own studio starting with Angels with Dirty Faces (1938), wherein she played James Cagney's love interest; Bogart, O'Brien and the Dead End Kids had supporting roles. The film was a big hit and critically acclaimed.

Sheridan was reunited with the Dead End Kids in They Made Me a Criminal (1938) starring John Garfield. She was third-billed in the Western Dodge City (1939), playing a saloon owner opposite Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland. The film was another success.

Oomph girl

In March 1939, Warner Bros. announced Sheridan had been voted by a committee of 25 men as the actress with the most "oomph" in America. "Oomph" was described as "a certain indefinable something that commands male interest".

She received as many as 250 marriage proposals from fans in a single week. Sheridan reportedly loathed the sobriquet that made her a popular pin-up girl in the early 1940s. However, she expressed in a February 25, 1940, news story distributed by the Associated Press that she no longer "bemoaned the "oomph" tag." She continued, "But I'm sorry now. I know if it hadn't been for "oomph" I'd probably still be in the chorus."

This was later referenced and spoofed on the 1941 animated short Hollywood Steps Out.

Stardom
Sheridan co-starred with Dick Powell in Naughty but Nice (1939) and played a wacky heiress in Winter Carnival (1939).

She was top billed in Indianapolis Speedway (1939) with O'Brien and Angels Wash Their Faces (1939) with the Dead End Kids and Ronald Reagan. Castle on the Hudson (1940) put her opposite Garfield and O'Brien.

Sheridan's first real starring vehicle was It All Came True (1940), a musical comedy costarring Bogart and Jeffrey Lynn. She introduced the song "Angel in Disguise".

Sheridan and Cagney were reunited in Torrid Zone (1940) with O'Brien in support. She was with George Raft, Bogart and Ida Lupino in They Drive by Night (1940), a smash-hit trucking melodrama. Sheridan was back with Cagney for City for Conquest (1941) and then made Honeymoon for Three (1941), a comedy with George Brent.

Sheridan did two lighter films: Navy Blues (1941), a musical comedy, and The Man Who Came to Dinner (1942) with Bette Davis, wherein she played a character modeled on Gertrude Lawrence. She then made Kings Row (1942), in which she received top billing playing opposite Ronald Reagan, Robert Cummings, and Betty Field. It was a major success and one of Sheridan's most memorable films.

Sheridan and Reagan were reunited for Juke Girl (1942) released about six weeks after Kings Row. She was in the war film Wings for the Eagle (1942) and made a comedy with Jack Benny, George Washington Slept Here (1943). She played a Norwegian resistance fighter in Edge of Darkness (1943) with Errol Flynn and was one of the many Warner Bros., stars who had cameos in Thank Your Lucky Stars (1943).

She was the heroine of a novel, Ann Sheridan and the Sign of the Sphinx, written by Kathryn Heisenfelt and published by Whitman Publishing Company in 1943. While the heroine of the story was identified as a famous actress, the stories were entirely fictitious. The story was probably written for a young teenaged audience and is reminiscent of the adventures of Nancy Drew. It is part of a series known as "Whitman Authorized Editions", 16 books published between 1941 and 1947 that always featured a film actress as heroine.

Sheridan was given the lead in the musical Shine On, Harvest Moon (1944), playing Nora Bayes, opposite Dennis Morgan. She was in a comedy The Doughgirls (1944).

Sheridan was absent from screens for over a year, touring with the USO to perform in front of the troops as far afield as China. She returned in One More Tomorrow (1946) with Morgan. She had an excellent role in the noir Nora Prentiss (1947), which was a hit. It was followed by The Unfaithful (1948), a remake of The Letter, and Silver River (1948), a Western melodrama with Errol Flynn.

Leo McCarey borrowed her to support Gary Cooper in Good Sam (1948). She was meant to star in Flamingo Road. She then left Warner Bros., saying: "I wasn't at all satisfied with the scripts they offered me."

Freelance star
Her role in I Was a Male War Bride (1949), directed by Howard Hawks and starring Cary Grant, was another success. In 1950, she appeared on the ABC musical television series Stop the Music.

She made Stella (1950), a comedy with Victor Mature at Fox.

In April 1949, she announced she wanted to produce Second Lady, a film based on a story by Eleanore Griffin. She was going to make Carriage Entrance at RKO. They fired her and Sheridan sued for $250,000 (equivalent to $ million today) The New York Times reported the amount as $350,000 ($ million today). Sheridan ultimately won $55,162 ($ today).

Universal
Sheridan made Woman on the Run (1950), a noir also starring Dennis O'Keefe which she produced. She wanted to make a film called Her Secret Diary.

Woman on the Run was distributed by Universal, and Sheridan signed a contract with that studio. While there, she made Steel Town (1952), Just Across the Street (1952), and Take Me to Town (1953), a comedy with Sterling Hayden that was the first film directed by Douglas Sirk in the United States.

Later career

Sheridan starred with Glenn Ford in Appointment in Honduras (1953), directed by Jacques Tourneur. She appeared opposite Steve Cochran in Come Next Spring (1956) and was one of several stars in MGM's The Opposite Sex (1956), a remake of The Women starring June Allyson, Joan Collins, Dolores Gray, Sheridan and Ann Miller. Her last film, Woman and the Hunter (1957), was shot in Africa.

She performed in stage tours of Kind Sir (1958) and Odd Man In (1959), and The Time of Your Life at the Brussels World Fair in 1958. In all three shows, she acted with Scott McKay, whom she later married.

In 1962, she played the lead in the Western series Wagon Train episode entitled "The Mavis Grant Story".

In the mid-1960s, Sheridan appeared on the NBC soap opera Another World.

Her final role was as Henrietta Hanks in the television comedy Western series Pistols 'n' Petticoats, which was filmed while she became increasingly ill in 1966, and was broadcast on CBS on Saturday nights. The 19th episode of the series, "Beware the Hangman", aired as scheduled on the same day that she died in 1967.

For her contributions to the motion picture industry, Ann Sheridan has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7024 Hollywood Boulevard.

Personal life
Sheridan married actor Edward Norris August 16, 1936, in Ensenada, Mexico. They separated a year later and divorced in 1939. On January 5, 1942, she married fellow Warner Bros. star George Brent, who co-starred with her in Honeymoon for Three (1941); they divorced exactly one year later. Following her divorce from Brent, she had a long-term relationship with publicist Steve Hannagan that lasted until his death in 1953. Hannagan bequeathed Sheridan $218,399 (equivalent to $ million today).

Sheridan engaged in a romantic affair with Mexican actor Rodolfo Acosta, with whom she appeared in 1953's Appointment in Honduras.  She and the married Acosta shared an apartment in Mexico City for several years, and Sheridan was charged with criminal adultery in Mexican federal court in October, 1956, following an accusation by Acosta's wife, Jeanine Cohen Acosta.  Mexican authorities issued a warrant for Sheridan's arrest.<ref>"Actress Named in Adultery Action," San Pedro News-Pilot, November 1, 1956, p. 1.</ref>  Nothing came of the criminal charges, and the relationship ended c. 1958.

On June 5, 1966, Sheridan married actor Scott McKay, who was with her when she died, seven months later.

Sheridan supported Thomas E. Dewey in the 1948 presidential elections.

Death
In 1966, Sheridan began starring in a new television series, a Western-themed comedy called Pistols 'n' Petticoats''. She became ill during the filming and died of esophageal cancer with massive liver metastases at age 51 on January 21, 1967, in Los Angeles. She was cremated and her ashes were stored at the Chapel of the Pines Crematory in Los Angeles until they were interred in a niche in the Chapel Columbarium at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in 2005.

He is a smaller character with a very slow ageing process and depending on where you get your info from, has a body resembling hardened rubber. He is the 'cannonball' of the team. He's a bit of a light weight hitter but he can knock down a human sized opponent easily by barrelling into them. I chose him because he is just so full of character that he really adds something to the team.
On a completely different note, Hasslefree Miniatures are making some interesting noises with regard to Grymn Walkers. If you follow this LINK you will see some rather cool WIP pix of a completely re-vamped machine. I don't need to say how much I like it.
It is early days yet but if his last attempt at a walker was anything to go by, I would expect to see a large Gatling gun and some missile pods.


...[D]octors won't take federally-sponsored snooping lying down. Instead, more and more of them will drop out of Medicaid, and increasingly Medicare, rather than subject themselves to the onerous hassles and financial burdens of staying involved—only to face a federal audit for doing so. Doctors will avoid setting up shop in inner cities, where a higher proportion of patients are in these programs. In turn, access to care for those patients will get worse, not better, in a system that is already a humanitarian catastrophe.
The endgame for Obamacare's proponents will necessarily involve compulsion: forcing doctors to see Medicaid and Medicare patients, despite penurious reimbursement rates, or revoking their licenses to practice medicine.
Supporters of government health care will view a national equivalent as a logical next step to "fix" the problems of ObamaCare.
Calls for such a "solution" may increase as more patients with private insurance start experiencing similar problems as reported in this 6/27/2011 San Francisco Chronicle article, "Doctors Reject Insured Patients on Low Payments, Study Says".
If the government imposes a "physician mandate", expect a mass exodus of physicians out of the American medical system.

High Performing Board Series: Diversity - 17 March 2010
Welcome to Week Two of our High Performing Boards Series where we will be exploring board diversity. There is no doubt that the right mix of skills, ideas and personalities on the board can help the performance of a company. Yet, diversity on boards is still a target that many are striving to reach. At last week's Criticaleye Inspiring Non-executive Directors Drinks Party, Helen Alexander CBE, President, CBI, treated Members and guests to a rousing debate on boardroom diversity and the benefits a diverse board can bring.
As one may think, there is a danger to having a boardroom full of carbon copies of the chairman. Helen says: "One of the big responsibilities on leaders is to be aware of the dangers of homogeneity at the top of an organisation and the 'groupthink' this encourages. If there is groupthink, there may be a lack of effective challenge to determined bosses."
She believes that many of the failings of business that the world has seen throughout the recession were due to CEOs not being challenged. To combat this, diversity is needed. "A key way to help create a climate of challenge is through having more diversity at the top, with talent drawn from as wide a pool as possible. If we want differing views, we must have different types of people, happy to challenge and speak up."
Diversity does not only refer to gender or ethnicity - although that is what steals the headlines - it also refers to the professional background and skills of appointed NEDs. "True diversity goes much further than gender and race; it involves expertise, culture and life experience, perspective and even sense of humour. Certainly, boards are a bit more gender diverse than 20 years ago, but do they truly represent the broad diversity of stakeholders, especially consumers? That kind of diversity at the very top level of decision-making enables the organisation to be more responsive to those who do business with it, helping to anticipate needs and wants and satisfy them, helping to react more effectively to challenges and crises and avoid them. Board diversity helps companies live by the old dictum, 'Know thy customer' because the customer is understood clearly at the very top, not just by the marketing and reputation departments," says Mary Jo Jacobi, Associate, Criticaleye.
However, the right skill mix needs to be continually reviewed to make sure it matches the strategic objectives of the organisation. "It's important to continually review that the talent mix of the board matches the strategic objectives, ie, can and will they deliver the agenda and moreover can they operate effectively in today's volatile market. Does the chemistry work - no place for emotional and territorial positions? Are they able to operate and add value to the total business agenda as well as their functional responsibilities? Non-executives must be value adding either by challenging the board and encouraging innovative thinking - sizing and articulating the risks/governance issues," says Mark Riches, CEO, World Duty Free.
There is no doubt that a diverse boardroom increases productivity. According to the University of Queensland and the LSE, gender diversity pays for boards in terms of board and corporate performance, and also shows that women on boards makes for better attendance by men. "The University of Michigan demonstrates that mixed teams consistently out-perform homogenous teams on a variety of tasks. Its idea is that people from different backgrounds look at problems in different ways. Whereas those educated and trained in the same way will bring the same tools to the job, different people have diverse tools," asserts Helen.
The continuing issue of homogenous boardrooms has forced some countries, such as Norway, France and Australia, to impose quotas on the number of women on boards. But Hazel Cameron, LDC Chairmen's Network Director, doesn't think this is a step in the right direction. "No one can seriously disagree with the statement that boardroom discussions and decisions would benefit from greater diversity in members bringing a wider range of experiences and a different set of perspectives. But there are two problems with the way this statement is then interpreted. Firstly, it is too often restricted to a male/female debate which ignores the many other relevant 'groups' - race, age etc. so it becomes a very narrow and often patronising "let's just get a woman on board" conversation. Secondly, it is often stated as being an objective in isolation of any other factor whereas in fact the most important issue is the quality of the individual and their ability to contribute - not simply whether they improve the diversity.
"I believe the board must pick the most able people and not be swayed by positive or negative discrimination that has been designed to deliver a more diverse group of people. I absolutely believe that diversity will achieve better results but achieving it should not in itself be seen as delivery of a better result."
As many have asserted having a diverse board is not just about ticking boxes, it is about getting real value for the business.
Genie Turton, Associate, Criticaleye says: "It is one of those now universally acknowledged truths that a board that brings people from a variety of different backgrounds and experiences together has more potential than one that simply consists of the usual suspects. But it is just potential. All boards need to work to ensure they are really effective, and diverse boards need to work even harder because people assume that, having got a diverse mix - having ticked the boxes -they have done the job. For example, sometimes people from different backgrounds may feel under even more pressure to conform. There may sometimes too be differences in values that have not been picked up in the recruitment exercise. Shared values are critical and their absence can cause problems - it is diverse opinions, experiences and viewpoints that add value." Genie is a former senior civil servant who now sits on boards of both private and public organisations such as Wates Group and the Historic Houses Association.
Tellingly, it is not gender or ethnicity which is most discriminated upon in the boardroom - it is lawyers. No one seems to want a lawyer on their board!
Five practical steps to diversity:
Define what sort of diversity you want – gender, ethnicity or socio-economic groups, educational background
Think differently about how you recruit and appoint – look outside the usual sources
Think about outside help – professionals may present candidates who you might not otherwise think of
Learn to recognise talents that are not like our own and not from our own culture
Keep trying – it will not be easy to find the right people first time around
If you would like further information on today's topic please look at the Insights page of the website. In our eye to eye films Alison Carnwath, Chairman, Land Securities, says that a truly global company should have a diverse board that represents the globalisation.


Born in the Seminole Heights section of Tampa, Florida, William Poe attended Broward and Seminole Elementary Schools, Memorial Junior High and Hillsborough High School. He was president of the student body and president of the key club and treasurer of the senior class. After high school, Poe attended Duke University and, later, the University of Florida where he received a B.A. in Business Administration. He also served in the Air Force. In 1956, Poe returned to Tampa where he established the W.F. Poe Insurance Company. Poe became involved in civic activities and, later, local politics.
In October 1974, William Poe successfully campaigned for mayor against Bob Martinez. Poe initiated a major revitalization of downtown Tampa which included the negotiation of an agreement to construct a state office building on Franklin Street. As part of his revitalization campaign, Poe secured the City Council's approval to invest $20 million in public works programs that included street and drainage improvements, a city hall annex, and a riverside cultural center. He also persuaded City Council to implement a $35 million dollar program to expand the Tampa's water system to avoid the shortages that had previously occurred. Poe cracked down on the growing number of massage parlors, prostitution and street people. To strengthen the presence of police he outfitted the department with a new fleet of patrol cars. Poe also established an information and complaint service for the public to notify the city on everything from street crime to water problems.
After his term as mayor, Poe returned to the insurance business. He and Elizabeth (Betty) Ann Blackburn Poe were married for nearly 60 years and had five children. William F. Poe, Sr. served as Chairman of the Florida-based property and casualty insurance company of Poe & Associates, which he founded in 1996.

NPR has turned its popular "Wait Wait… Don't Tell Me!" news quiz show into an interactive game for smart speakers: Owners of speakers powered by Google's Assistant or Amazon Alexa will be able to play along to questions about the news of the week.
Just like the radio show, the quiz is being hosted by Peter Sagal and Bill Kurtis. And just like on the show, participants can actually win a chance to have one of the show's on-air talent personalize their voicemail.
Owners of an Amazon Echo device can access the quiz by saying "Alexa, open Wait Wait Quiz," whereas it's available on Google Home speakers via the voice command "Hey Google, talk to the Wait Wait Quiz."
"Try it out today– you can't lose! Well, technically you can," NPR joked in a press release for the game. The network also had "All Things Considered co-host Ari Shapiro try out the quiz on camera:
The weekly 5-minute quiz has been developed by NPR in partnership with Vaynersmart, the internet of things subsidiary Gary Vaynerchuk's Vaynermedia. NPR recently estimated that 53 million people, or 21% of the adult U.S. population, now own a smart speaker.

Food Security Outlook Update
Atypical food price increases and below average harvest significantly impact household food access
June - September 2019
IPC v3.0 Acute Food Insecurity Phase
1: Minimal
2: Stressed
3: Crisis
4: Emergency
5: Famine
National Parks/Reserves
Would likely be at least one phase worse without current or programmed humanitarian assistance
FEWS NET classification is IPC-compatible. IPC-compatible analysis follows key IPC protocols but does not necessarily reflect the consensus of national food security partners.
3+: Crisis or higher
Would likely be at least one phase worse without
current or programmed humanitarian assistance
FEWS NET Remote Monitoring countries use a colored outline to represent the highest IPC classification in areas of concern.
Presence countries:
Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes are present across most of the country due to the delayed and poor harvest, continued declining macroeconomic situation, and effects of Tropical Cyclone Idai. Humanitarian assistance is improving outcomes in parts of the country to Stressed! (IPC Phase 2!). In June, Stressed (IPC Phase 2) outcomes are anticipated to emerge across most of the country with Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes most likely to continue in deficit-producing areas and areas facing poor harvests. An earlier than usual start to the 2019/20 lean season is expected in July.
Tropical Cyclone Idai caused heavy flooding and winds, resulting in the significant destruction of infrastructure and crops and loss of livestock. Market access continues to be constrained in many affected areas, although is starting to return to normal. The effects of Idai have worsened harvest prospects and destroyed livelihoods mainly in Chimanimani and Chipinge Districts.
The main harvest started atypically late in April due to the delayed start of season and will continue through June. Current crop estimates indicate the harvest will be below average across all provinces due to the poor performance of the 2018/19 rainfall season and effects of Tropical Cyclone Idai in eastern areas. Typical seasonal livelihoods such as crop sales, casual labor, and self-employment activities and livestock sales will most likely remain constrained through September; negatively impacting food access.
The volatile macroeconomic situation continues to deteriorate, characterized by increasing; foreign exchange shortages, exchange rates, staple and non-staple food prices, and fuel shortages. In early April, The Government increased the maize producer prices by 80.0 percent and provided a 38.5 percent subsidy to commercial millers. Despite Government efforts this forced commercial millers to increase maize meal prices by up to 30.0 percent.
FEWS NET
Between March and April, prices of most goods and services increased significantly, in some cases up to 100 percent. In February, The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe official interbank exchange rate was initially set at $2.50 RTGS/USD, since then is has increased by 20.0 percent to about $3.00 RTGS/USD. Parallel market exchange rates continue to increase, up almost 40.0 percent from February to mid-April, from $3.50 RTGS/USD to $5.00 RTGS/USD. This is significantly contributing to food and commodity price increases. Official annual inflation in March increased to 66.8 percent from 59.4 percent in February, though some independent analysts report annual inflation is potentially as high as 200 percent.
Cumulative rainfall across most of Zimbabwe for the 2018/19 season was significantly below average with the most significant deficits in northwest parts of the country; where this season was one of the driest on record. From mid-February to April little to no rainfall was received across parts of Zimbabwe, although heavy rainfall was recorded in the eastern areas; mostly associated with Tropical Cyclone Idai in in mid-March. This late season rainfall in many cases was too late to improve cropping conditions. Heavy rainfall and flooding associated with Tropical Cyclone Idai caused further crop destruction; current estimates indicate approximately 60.0 percent of crops in Chimanimani and nearly 25.0 percent in Chipinge were destroyed. Across the rest of the country, the bulk of surviving crops are in the late reproductive and drying stages as rainfall has ended for the season.
The harvest has started in some areas, though production is significantly below normal. Tobacco sales on the auction and contract floors are very low as farmers protest low prices and unfavorable currency terms. As a result of the poor rainfall pasture and water resources are also below average. Livestock body conditions are fair to poor in most arid areas and atypical livestock deaths have been reported in some areas of the country. Also, groundwater and surface water flows are below normal, and conflict has been reported in some communities driven by competition for water.
In early April, the Government of Zimbabwe announced new crop producer prices, increasing the buying price by over 80.0 percent from $390 RTGS to $726 RTGS per MT. As a result, and despite a 38.5 percent subsidy on maize prices, commercial millers announced a 30 percent increase of maize meal 10 kg bag prices in mid-April. Producer prices of wheat, soya, and cotton also increased and are expected to further increase the prices of related commodities. The retail price of bread increased by 75.0 percent in mid-April from $2.00 RTGS to $3.50 RTGS. Fuel shortages also continue to be experienced; with negative effects on prices and commodity availability especially in remote parts of the country. These price changes continue to negatively affect household purchasing power.
Poor macroeconomic conditions and performance of the 2018/19 rainfall season continue to negatively impact households across the country. Food consumption is mainly poor as most poor households rely on market purchases for food. Household purchasing power is being affected by below average incomes and above average prices that continue to atypically increase. As a result, Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes are widespread across the country. Although humanitarian assistance is improving outcomes in areas of Matabeleland North, Matabeleland South, Manicaland, Mashonaland East, and Mashonaland West to Stressed! (IPC Phase 2!).
UPDATED ASSUMPTIONS
The assumptions used to develop FEWS NET's most likely scenario for the Zimbabwe Food Security Outlook for February 2019 to September 2019 remain unchanged except for the following:
As a result of Tropical Cyclone Idai, areas in eastern Zimbabwe are expected to have a smaller than previously anticipated harvest due to the destruction of crops.
PROJECTED OUTLOOK THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2019
Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes are most likely to be widespread through the end of May due to the delayed start to the season. The poor macroeconomic environment is likely to continue to negatively affect household purchasing power and food access, particularly among poor households. Humanitarian food assistance is anticipated to continue to improve outcomes to Stressed! (IPC Phase 2!) in some areas of the country.
Most areas of the country and surplus-producing areas are expected to experience Stressed (IPC Phase 2) outcomes as the limited harvest is anticipated to meet households' minimal food needs for 3 to 4 months. Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes will most likely prevail in typical deficit-production areas from June to September as a result of a limited harvest and poor macroeconomic conditions. Typical livelihood opportunities are mostly likely to be constrained; negatively impacting crop sales, casual labor opportunities, livestock sales, and petty trading, among others. Market food purchases are expected to be further limited due to anticipated high and increasing staple and non-staple food prices.

Q: How to test UI for ios and android with same code I am attempting to test an application on iOS and Android, and planning to use the same code for testing. As I read, appium is the tool for this, but I have few questions in order to make things by the book:
 - What is the common selector to use in both platforms? driver.findElement(By. -- common selector -- )
 - Is it recommended to do testing like this?
Any feedback is welcome!

A: First, you have to make sure with your team that developers use the same format for both the platforms. It means they use the same ID for every element on both the platforms. This way you can use the same script for both the platforms without changing the Id's or classname.

A: That's a very general question. It depends upon your AUT (app unter test).
At the moment I'm facing a similar issue.
I use pageObjects and I think I'm going to have pageObjects for iOS and Android, that means, there have to be a kind of ternary operator:
By locator = (systemUnderTest == iOS) ? locatorForIOS : locatorForAndroid;
On this way i hope there won't be the need to write all tests two times.
Let's see how it's going to work...

SIGMUND Freud once observed that the 'Irish are the only people impervious to psychoanalysis – they resort to drinking and literature'.
I've been to an Irish bar more than a few times and it is undeniable – the Irish do indeed love their drink.
When it comes to literature, the Irish 'gift of the gab' is also hard to deny. William Yates, George Bernard Shaw, James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, and Jonathan Swift – the list of great Irish writers is endless.
Now another name is finding its way into that pantheon of Irish icons. Her name is Kate O'Brien and her affinity for Spain and all things Spanish is profound.
O'Brien (1897-1974) moved to Basque Country Spain at 22 to enjoy 'the hiatus between working and inevitable marriage'. She began to write novels and poems and almost all featured Spain as a setting. She achieved some degree of notoriety during her lifetime but, like so many other Irish authors, her work became more popular after her demise.
Many of her books deal with feminist issues – gender equality, female agency, sexual diversity and women yearning for independence. Her characters were frequently positive gay/lesbian protagonists and young independent women, themes that were extreme and forbidden in her day.
So radical were O'Brien's ideas that most of her work was banned in her native Ireland and adopted homeland, Spain, both strongly Catholic countries. In the decades to follow, however, these issues were not only discussed but actively embraced.
O'Brien was a prognosticator in other ways. In 1937 she wrote Farewell Spain. The book is part political, part travelogue but defies a genre. In it, she travels through pre-Civil War Spain, mixing personal experience as a traveler with political ideology.
She dabbles in anarchist commentary and was inclined to believe that the hope of social progress in Spain might lie in communism. She was not alone in this thinking, as many western Europeans favored this political dogma during Spain's worst nightmare.
Farewell Spain, as you might expect, was banned in Spain for much of the Franco years and Kate herself was forbidden entry to the country she loved.
O'Brien's methodology of mixing travel with real-time political commentary is becoming quite popular today. Her idea of 'political travel' is the latest trend in the travel industry. Just as there have been trends in adventure travel, eco tours, lecture cruises etc.
Travel tours can now be arranged to political hot-spots like North Korea, Israel, China and South Africa. The tours work like documentaries, opening up key issues in the news for people to experience first hand.
Kate O'Brien was a rare individual who was able to detect futuristic social phenomena. She used her considerable literary skills to project her ability as a 'seer'. She was a true visionary.


In the summer of 1995 in downtown Lincoln, Nebraska, Hilda Raz and I met with a few friends for lunch, one of whom was Dika Eckersley. It was my birthday, and I was being treated by the lovely collection of women who produced the literary magazine, Prairie Schooner, where I worked as Managing Editor. Hilda, the magazine's editor, and I shared office space at the University of Nebraska English Department, but the production team worked at the University of Nebraska Press across town, so Hilda established the birthday lunch tradition, ensuring we'd all get together at least a few times each year. Outside the restaurant that bright day in August, Dika handed me a red clay pot with a newspaper laid flat on top.
"Open it," she told me with a mischievous smile, so I lifted up the newspaper. I laughed in surprise as out flew a monarch butterfly; attached to a twig inside the pot was what remained of its chrysalis. "I'd been watching it outside my kitchen window," Dika said, "and I thought it would make the perfect gift." Indeed it did.
This is the story that came to mind when I heard that Dika had died at home in Lincoln this week, at age 75. Her designs for Prairie Schooner and the University of Nebraska Press were so like that gift, so like the person Dika was: lovely, full of delight, and wrapped in layers of meaning.
Four times a year, Dika collaborated with Hilda to create the cover of Prairie Schooner, and watching them work was one of the best parts of my job. Sometimes Hilda, Dika and I trekked to the Sheldon Art Gallery where the director would let us go into the cool, dry rooms and sift through the terrific breadth of images they had in storage. Other times we'd visit a local studio or meet with an artist in our offices, but more often than not Dika would just create cover art using one of her own photographs or images or using another favorite medium—the copy machine—and the result was always remarkable.
Once we visited local artist Kate Brooke, intending to choose one of her woodblock prints, Dika instead picking a page from Kate's journal for the cover, littered with scraps of poems and tiny animals that she had reproduced in silver. Another time, Hilda brought in a collection of her own childhood photographs, and she and I selected two perfect images of Hilda at three, smiling beatifically at the camera as she held her older brother's hand. For the cover, however, Dika picked a photo slightly out of focus where Hilda's brother has had his head unceremoniously cut off. Of course, Hilda and I immediately realized it as the ideal image to reflect that issue's particularly troubling stories and poems. For Dika was a designer, but she also was a reader, and she recognized the intimate connection that a magazine's cover should have with the narrative created from the stories, essays, and poems within. In Dika's world, books should—and could be—judged by their covers.
One of my proudest moments at Prairie Schooner was when we celebrated the magazine's 75th anniversary in the fall of 2001. Writers came from around the country to give readings and lectures about the magazine's impact on American literature in the 20th century, and in conjunction with the conference, Sheldon Museum director Daniel Siedell curated a gallery exhibition, "The Visual Culture of Prairie Schooner." At that point, Dika had been designing Prairie Schooner covers for about twenty years, and walking through the gallery opening, no one could ignore that it was her designs dominating the show. Dika, however firm she was in her vision, was also modest in accepting praise, and I was so glad that for a time her work shared equal space in the Sheldon with Rothko, Warhol, Hopper, et al, where she absolutely belonged. Dika was a wonderful designer and a good friend, and while her designs will live on, she will be missed by many.
Raz and Eckersley both understood the significance of material and visual culture and used it, through a visual politics of the cover, to "represent" or "image" the shifting focus of the Prairie Schooner. . . . Moreover, Raz's and Eckersley's aggressive aesthetic is intended to communicate the significance of the written word within a culture saturated by visual imagery. These cover designs illustrate the significant relationship between the word and image that intertwine the histories of modern literature and art. "The Visual Culture of Prairie Schooner" suggests that if we isolate word from image, literature from art, we do so to the impoverishment of our appreciation of the beauty and complexity of the world of culture.
Beautifully written, Kate. Dika's work with Prairie Schooner was something she always enjoyed so much. Thank you for sharing.
