What's Your Job?
December 4th, 2018 |

Brown's Job was Difficult to Describe
The memo—folded once and stamped "Personal & Confidential" in red ink—was slipped under my office door after hours on December 29.
December 29, 1988.
Back then, correspondence was typed on electric memory typewriters. Assistants were called secretaries, and every senior executive was supported by a secretary who did the typing. Typically, internal memos were delivered by a person who worked in the mail room.
The memo I received had been delivered by the author.
The "To" line read "You Know Who You Are." The "Subject" line read "Epitaph." The "From" line told me the author was Don Ashley.
Don was an executive vice president of Tracy-Locke, the 400-person national advertising agency responsible for creating campaigns for The Ben Hogan Company, Embassy Suites and Homewood Suites, Haggar, Mrs Baird's Bakeries, Phillips Petroleum Company, Frito-Lay brands like Doritos, and various PepsiCo products, among other clients.
Don's office was located on Tracy-Locke's executive row along with the offices of the CEO, the CFO, the Chief Creative Director and the Chief Research Officer.
Don was 50.I was 33 years old and running one of the agency's business units.
Though I reported to the CEO, Don and I had worked together. We'd enjoyed cocktails over the course of his two-year tenure at Tracy-Locke. I'd sought him out for advice. And we'd shared a 90-minute drive together to visit the East Texas headquarters of one of our mutual clients, Pilgrim's Pride Chicken.
Don's stories of working at ad agencies in New York and San Francisco alongside industry giants to create acclaimed advertising were instructive and hilarious.
But there was a problem. Don had been named General Manager of the advertising agency, a position that had never before existed. The ambitious account managers who now found themselves reporting to Don continually sought ways to bypass him for face time with the CEO.
Don's difficult job was made more difficult by this behavior—and by the culture that allowed it to continue.
Does our organizational chart reflect how work really gets done?
"Brown's Job"
I figured I was one of perhaps a dozen people who received Don's December 29, 1988 memo.
Don concisely provided context to the one-page document stapled to his memo as he recalled a meeting with one of his future bosses, the legendary Hal Riney:
"As I pondered what might be a fitting commentary on my brief tenure here," Don wrote:
…I remembered my first meeting with Riney. It was (of course) in a bar. He talked about the job and about the person I would be replacing, who had tragically died some months before. That man was beloved by the staff, and I voiced my concern about being able to step in. Riney gave me the famous baleful glare and said, "Haven't you read 'Brown's Job'?" Me, trying to appear wise: "Nope." Hal: "Why not?" The rest of the conversation eludes me at the moment. But I did find "Brown's Job." And I've kept a copy and made one for you.
To me, it's an appropriate epitaph. I wish you all the best.
"Brown's Job" is considered one of the 100 greatest advertisements ever written, and you can read it here.
How and where are you investing your time? To what effect?
Leadership is Hard
I'm a big proponent of clarity, summarized in my mantra: "Clarity creates confidence. Confusion causes chaos."
My experience has taught me that when accountability problems arise, most of the time it's because there's an absence of clarity.
But leadership is not always as black and white as we'd like it to be.
The following quote—often mistakenly attributed to Albert Einstein but originating in William Bruce Cameron's 1963 text, "Informal Sociology: A Casual Introduction to Sociological Thinking"—speaks to the nuances of leadership that make leading people so difficult:
Don exited Tracy-Locke to become a partner in a start-up ad agency in San Francisco.
"For those of you with similar ambitions," he wrote, "let me assure you, it is the scariest thing you will ever do in your life."
Twelve months after Don's departure, the business unit I led was dead on its feet but the people at the top didn't know it. A year earlier, Tracy-Locke had acquired another company whose work product was inferior to ours and whose culture could not have been more different.
The CEO of that small company became my boss. Our best people fled. Eighteen months after Don wrote his memo, the Tracy-Locke unit that had been regarded as one of the best in the business was on a steep decline, and I had departed to run the Dallas office of Edelman Worldwide.
A year after that, Don was dead from cancer at age 53.
By 1994, I had embarked on Don's "scariest thing"—running a company with my name on the door.
My journey has been a zig-zag of successes with a couple of spectacular failures. But I wouldn't be doing the work I love today if I had not traveled the road that rose up before me.
Thirty years. Where does the time go?
What will you be doing this time next year? What will people remember about you 30 years from now?

The fifth generation of the Chevrolet Camaro is just about wrapping up, and with it comes 48 years of heritage and sentimentality. Chevrolet is marking the occasion by paying homage to the iconic car and its legacy, not to mention the many who have been captivated by the model over the decades.
GM released the following statement today, combining a series of perspectives given by Carmaro designers on each respective generation of the car. Here's what they had to say for each generation of Camaro.
First Generation – 1967-69
Ed Welburn, vice president of GM Global Design
Currently owns: 1969 Camaro
"The Camaro should not have been a design success, as it was based on an existing architecture and admittedly hurried to market to address the personal coupe revolution occurring with Baby Boomer customers. However, the first-generation Camaro delivered a pure, classic proportion that will forever be regarded as one of the best-looking cars of its time. It was very lean and muscular, with comparatively minor embellishments for high-performance models. That was in contrast to some of the brasher competitors during the muscle car era, and it has helped the first-generation Camaro maintain timeless good looks."
The Camaro's first generation lasted only three model years, but one stands out for Welburn:
"The 1969 model is the iconic Camaro to me. From the dual-plane grille design and speed lines stamped into the fenders and doors, it was original and distinctive. It didn't borrow from any other design and all these years later, it still looks fresh."
Welburn's design analysis highlights for the 1969 Camaro include:
Every effort was made to make it appear wider, sleeker and more muscular
Character lines that trailed the wheel openings gave the car an aura of speed
The rear fenders were pulled out, giving the car a wider, more muscular flair
Dual-plane grille added visual interest to the nose and became a trademark of Camaro design
Wide taillights, with body-color sheet metal between them, exaggerated the car's width
Simulated grilles forward of the rear fenders provided accent detail and became one of the 1969 Camaro's focal styling cues
Chevrolet-signature "cowl induction" power bulge hood signified the muscle beneath it, from high-revving Small Block V-8 to high-torque Big Block V-8 engines.
Camaro Second Generation – 1970-81
Design analysis: Ken Parkinson, executive director of design, Chevrolet Trucks and Global Architecture
"I've always loved the '68 Camaro, but for some reason it was the second–gen car I'd find myself sketching during high school math. It was a radical departure from the first-gen. For the first time, it was built on its own dedicated architecture, which gave the design team the freedom to create a pure expression. What that team created was a powerful expression of American muscle, influenced by a European grand-touring aesthetic. There was simply nothing else like it. The second-gen car is pure Camaro, with a dramatic proportion and lean, muscular form. You won't confuse it with the first generation, but it is unmistakably a Camaro from every angle."
The second-generation Camaro's styling evolved during its 12 model years, including the change to soft, body-color fascias and a wraparound rear window. For his design analysis highlights, Parkinson focused on the early models, circa 1970-73, for their pure expression of the original design:
The strong horizontal crease running the length of the body sides creates strong tension and forward motion in the body
Below this horizontal crease, the body tucks in dramatically, exposing the tires for a more muscular appearance and great stance
The bold split-bumper design on RS models was a signature feature that gave the car an aggressive and more contemporary design, arguably one of the greatest fronts on any car
Great hood design with lots of form exaggerating the power of the V-8 underneath
The upper portion of the design is placed rearward on the body, giving it a significant amount of "dash to axle" – a key to the car's dramatic proportion
The sail panel at first glance is a clean, simple statement, but on closer look is also a sophisticated complex shape that flows into the rear quarter of the car, cradling the backlight
The Chevrolet-signature dual taillights are simple and beautiful.
Camaro Third Generation – 1982-92
Design analysis: John Cafaro, executive director, Chevrolet Global Car Design
Previously owned: Third-generation Camaro "1LE" racecar
"The third-generation Camaro will always be a cultural symbol of the 1980s because its design epitomized the era's high-tech cultural trends. It also grew into more of a serious sports car and with that, its form was wrapped around a chassis system designed for a new level of function."
To support that more performance-oriented mission, an aggressive front end designed to enhance downforce was styled for it. And for the first time, the Camaro was offered as a hatchback – another automotive archetype of the 1980s.
"The third-generation Camaro represented a distinct breakaway from the previous generations, which were undeniably influenced by European grand touring cars. This was a uniquely American design with a form developed for function – and its aggressive front-end styling was deemed almost too aggressive by some in the company."
The third-generation Camaro was also the first high-volume American car to incorporate aero-enhancing, racing-inspired ground effects, and its large backlight, which comprised most of the hatchback, represented a technological achievement for automotive glass production because of its size and compound-curve sculpture.
Customers and the media responded. Sales jumped 50 percent for 1982, and the Camaro Z28 was named the 1982 Motor Trend Car of the Year.
"Perhaps more than any other generation, the third-generation Camaro was a car of its time. You can see that influence in every detail of the car, from the aerodynamic details of the exterior, such as the ground effects on the Z28, to the introduction of digital instruments on the interior."
Cafaro's third-generation Camaro design highlights include focus on the 1982 Z28:
Quad rectangular headlamps gave Camaro a contemporary appearance and were part of the aggressive front-end design
A hatchback was de rigueur in the 1980s and the Camaro's large backlight compound-curved glass was a technological achievement in its day
Ground effects on the Z28 were inspired by Formula 1 racecars and represented the first production application for a mass-produced American car – kicking off a styling trend that would become an industry-wide staple of 1980s automotive design
Linear five-spoke wheels complemented the car's angular proportion
A characteristic sharp body-side crease was part of Camaro's DNA and neatly divided the upper and lower sections of the angular body
Large, multi-color taillights spanned the rear panel, adding to the high-tech ambience of the era.
Camaro Fourth Generation – 1993-2002
Design analysis: Kirk Bennion, Chevrolet Camaro exterior design manager
Currently owns: 1993 Camaro Z28
"More than 20 years after its debut, the fourth-generation Camaro still looks as sleek as anything on showroom floors today. It was a very aggressive design intended to evolve the proportion from the third-generation car with a provocative exterior and greater aerodynamic performance. It has a very sculptural form vocabulary that was definitely all-new for the Camaro."
The dramatic proportions for the fourth-generation Camaro included a fast-rake windshield, which extended the front cowl/firewall line forward, combined with a change to a "bottom-breathing" engine-cooling arrangement, to support the strong wedge shape of the overall car.
"Having a low front end was important to the design. It really worked with the high deck lid rear spoiler to enhance the appearance of motion. All these years later, it still looks contemporary – and fast!"
The Camaro received an updated front-end appearance in 1998. Bennion selected the aggressive good looks of the higher-performance 1996 Camaro SS to highlight the best attributes of the generation:
Four, mini-halogen headlamps were new during design development and helped achieve the goal for the low front end
Super-fast 68-degree windshield was one of the most radical of its day, and was a primary element of the car's sleek proportion
Smooth body sides with integrated wheel flares were a first for Camaro
Black upper section on Z28 and SS models reinforced sleekness
Integrated, wraparound rear wing was another first and its shape was ultimately determined by numerous wind-tunnel tests
SS-specific hood scoop looked appropriately aggressive and contributed to performance.
Seventeen-inch five-spoke wheels were a new, coveted feature on the 1996 SS models.
Camaro Fifth Generation – 2010-2015
Design analysis: Tom Peters, Chevrolet Camaro exterior design director
"They say absence makes the heart grow fonder and that couldn't have been truer than as demonstrated with the enthusiasm that followed the introduction of the fifth-generation Camaro," said Peters. "After an eight-year absence, the return of Camaro was a thunderbolt that reignited the passion of Camaro enthusiasts around the world. It's a car design for those who like to drive, and its elegant design makes you smile every time."
While the iconic 1969 Camaro was the unmistakable inspiration for the fifth-generation Camaro, its design had to be more than simply a 21st century update, according to Peters.
"Distilling the timeless essence of the design and translating into a fresh, contemporary Camaro was a challenge. The final design perfectly straddled that razor-sharp line between heritage and retro – and with five straight years at the top of the segment, clearly the fifth-generation Camaro connected with a whole new group of enthusiasts."
Peters focused on the 2010 Camaro SS to call out the highlights of the fifth-generation design:
It's all about proportion and sculpture – from the dash-to-axle dimension that suggests performance to the efficient, 2+2 "canopy," its sculptural design conveys lean power
The cross-car, dual-plane grille is a heritage cue reimagined and gives the car a sporty character
The sharp body-side crease is a great example of a fundamental, timeless element that is consistent throughout the Camaro's history and works just as effectively on the fifth-generation
Rear fender "gills" pay homage to the iconic cue of the 1969 Camaro
Dual-element taillamps are a signature Chevrolet cue
The hood evokes the style of the first-gen cowl-induction power bulge
Rear-fender kick-up feature adds muscular character to the overall design.

In celebration of the House's Tricentenary in 2015, Martell Cognac launched on September 23th Martell Premier Voyage, a limited edition new blend containing 18 eaux-de-vie from Martell's cellars.
Using Jean Martell's original correspondence, Fil pieced together a map of Jean Martell's key suppliers from 1735-1742, and began to retrace his footsteps 300 years on. Visiting winegrowers just as Jean Martell did generations before him, Fil sampled eaux-de-vie and met with the winegrowing families whose ancestors had originally supplied the brand's founder. After crafting the blend and then ageing in barrels made from the oak of a 300 year-old tree, Martell Premier Voyage was born; an exceptional and distinctive new blend, and the perfect homage to Jean Martell.
The nose initially presents very generous notes of candied orange peel, blackcurrant, honey and gingerbread. Swirling brings out its full elegance and reveals subtle notes of old walnuts combined with generous notes of dried fruit, apricots and raisins. On the palate the attack is both full and delicate, with generous aromas of candied fruit still discernible. Martell Premier Voyage then develops a hint of blackcurrant, providing a perfect complement to a very rich and elegant aromatic range and underpinning a long finish in which notes of spice and beeswax come to the forefront.
Recognising the discerning tastes of the Martell connoisseur, world-renowned French conceptual artist Bernar Venet was invited to lend his distinctive, minimalist style by creating a stunning artwork in which to house the precious cognac. Venet's timeless design comprises metal arcs which are divided into three clusters, evoking the 300 year anniversary, which shelter a simple and elegant teardrop-shaped crystal decanter. The striking juxtaposition between the serenely flowing shape of the bottle and the powerful energy and aged appearance emanating from the COR-TEN® steel arcs demonstrates the union between tradition and modern visionary spirit. The blend can only be drawn from the sculpture with a fusil; a special pipette used by the Cellar Master to extract and taste eaux-de-vie from the barrels.
Only 300 pieces of this exceptionally limited edition blend will be available worldwide. Each will be individually signed, numbered and produced to order, encapsulating the excellence and creativity for which the House of Martell stands. Martell Premier Voyage is priced at €10,000 EUR. A registration list is now open and accepting enquiries. Please go to premiervoyage.martell.com.
Martell cognac House has teamed up with acclaimed fashion designer Jason Wu and invited him to express his own vision of elegance for Martell Noblige and Martell VSOP. The collaboration gave life to stunning "Black Tie" limited edition, with a contemporary design, reflecting the cognac's character. The limited edition is unveiled on November 28th in Shanghai, China.
Infused with timeless codes of masculine style and elegance, Jason Wu has brought his own perspective to reinvent Martell Noblige and Martell VSOP. Leather-like effects in deep black with touches of gold, inspired by the dinner jacket, extend an invitation to enter a sophisticated world in which conviviality and elegance are paramount.
Martell and Jason Wu share common values based on that genuine elegance which comes from inner resources and is in no way superficial. "Elegance is much more an innate sensibility, something that comes from the inside" commented the charismatic artist. With his sober and sensitive style, he crafted the bottle and presentation box with the greatest attention to detail, while suggesting inner elegance – perfectly matching the cognac contained inside.
Martell VSOP Medaillon is pleased to introduce you the second limited edition within the Paris Style series: Montmartell me a story by Jean-Charles de Castelbajac. Since its creation in 1715, Martell has embodied the French Art de Vivre. With this new limited edition, follow Jean-Charles de Castelbajac as a real Parisian through the narrow streets of a romantic area of Paris where culture, art and folklore meld together: Montmartre. An artist's view of this unique location where people love to wander, by day or by night.

When a natural disaster or sudden catastrophe causes social and personal chaos, The Salvation Army moves into action – often minutes after the tragedy has occurred – to meet the needs of the survivors.
The Army's first priority is to meet the immediate needs of any survivor or relief worker at the disaster scene without discrimination by supplying food, shelter and grief counseling.
The Salvation Army self-contained mobile feeding units are a familiar sight on the scene of any disaster. These "canteens," which resemble food trucks, are equipped with all the conveniences of a modern-day kitchen and are operated by trained volunteers. They are an important food source for victims and relief workers at the height of an emergency. They can serve about 2,000 people a day from a single unit.
The Salvation Army of Central Arkansas is a member of ARVOAD (Arkansas Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster), and most of our disaster response is coordinated through this body.

Affixing ankle bracelet to monitor suspect is a "search," Supreme Court holds
Orin S. Kerr | 3.30.2015 2:55 PM
The case is Grady v. North Carolina. Held: Forcing someone to wear an ankle bracelet to monitor location is a Fourth Amendment search. The new decision extends the Jones search doctrine to searches of persons, and it provides more opportunity to ponder what the Jones test means. I'll start with the history, then discuss the new decision, and then offer some thoughts on the new case.
I. A Brief History of Fourth Amendment Searches
First, some Fourth Amendment history. As I explained in this article, the Supreme Court had not identified a clear test for what counts as a Fourth Amendment "search" until Katz v. United States (1967). In Silverman v. United States (1961), the Court had indicated that a physical intrusion was enough to be a search but left open what beyond physical intrusion counted. In Katz, the government had taped a microphone to the top of a public phone booth and listened to the microphone feed from a listening station nearby when Katz placed a call. The Court in Katz announced that it could no longer follow earlier caselaw, which it claimed had imposed a trespass test. The Court held that the government's conduct triggered the Fourth Amendment:
The Government's activities in electronically listening to and recording the petitioner's words violated the privacy upon which he justifiably relied while using the telephone booth, and thus constituted a "search and seizure" within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment. The fact that the electronic device employed to achieve that end did not happen to penetrate the wall of the booth can have no constitutional significance.
Justice Harlan concurred. According to Harlan, the key was that Katz's expectation of privacy in the phone booth was one society was prepared to recognize as reasonable. When Katz went into the phone booth, closed the door, and put a coin in the coin slot, the phone booth became "a temporarily private place whose momentary occupants' expectations of freedom from intrusion are recognized as reasonable." The full Court later adopted Justice Harlan's concurring opinion, usually known as the "reasonable expectation of privacy test," or just as short hand, the Katz test. (I'm ignoring subjective expectations of privacy for reasons explained here.)
In United States v. Jones (2012) the Supreme Court held that the government conducted a search when it installed a GPS device to the underbody of a suspect's car to monitor his location over time with intent to get information. The Court reasoned that the trespass test that Katz said existed before Katz still existed, and that because installing a GPS device on a car is "trespassory," installing the GPS device was a trespass search without having to reach the issue of whether it violated a reasonable expectation of privacy under the Katz test. Because the trespass occurred with the intent to get information, it was a Fourth Amendment search.
As I detailed in this article and I have blogged about occasionally since then, this history leaves us unsure of what the Court thinks the Jones test is. Is the test physical intrusion as in Silverman, or is it trespass? If it's trespass, which kind of trespass, given that trespass is an accordian-like term that has both broad and narrow meanings? And if attaching a GPS device to the underbody of a car was "trespassory" in Jones, why wasn't taping a microphone to the top of a phone booth "trespassory" in Katz?
II. Grady v. North Carolina
That brings us to the new case. In Grady, the defendant is a recidivist sex offender who was ordered to wear an ankle bracelet that determines his location using GPS. The bracelet was installed against his consent, and he was ordered to wear it for life.
The defendant argued that this violated his Fourth Amendment rights under the Jones case, but the North Carolina Court of Appeals disagreed. First, it relied on its own precedent that had earlier rejected the analogy to Jones for a bizarre reason: Because Jones arose in a motion to suppress rather than a civil case, it was inapplicable and using the ankle bracelet was not a search. Second, the earlier precedent had relied post-Jones on dicta in a pre-Jones North Carolina Supreme Court case, Bowditch, that had suggested that sex offenders have a lesser expectation of privacy against monitoring.
Grady then filed a cert petition that raised the following Question Presented: "Does the State of North Carolina perform an unconstitutional search when it requires a citizen to wear a GPS monitoring ankle bracelet for the rest of his life based only on the citizen's status as a recidivist sex offender and where there is no finding that he is a threat to society?"
The U.S. Supreme Court granted cert and vacated and remanded without argument. The Court only reached the issue of whether a search had occurred; it did not touch whether the search was constitutionally unreasonable. The Court's analysis is sparse. After explaining the Jones case, and its subsequent application in Florida v. Jardines (2013), the Court stated:
In light of [Jones and Jardines], it follows that a State also conducts a search when it attaches a device to a person's body, without consent, for the purpose of tracking that individual's movements.
The State's program is plainly designed to obtain information. And since it does so by physically intruding on a subject's body, it effects a Fourth Amendment search.
The Court then vacated and remanded for additional proceedings in state court.
III. A Few Thoughts
1) Grady does extend the law slightly to say that the Jones test applies to searches of persons and not just of effects (in Jones) and houses (in Jardines). It's not a surprising extension, but it's still worth noting.
2) On the continuing question of whether the test in Jones is trespass or is physical intrusion—and if it's trespass, what kind of trespass—I think Grady just adds to the puzzle. On one hand, like Jardines, the Grady opinion never once mentions trespass. It doesn't even mention trespass in explaining the holding of Jones. At the same time, the Court does say that installing the bracelet is a search "by physically intruding on a subject's body." At first, that sounds like the physical intrusion test rather than the trespass test.
But if you think that Grady lends support to the test being physical intrusion, consider that the physical intrusion test recognized in Silverman was "actual intrusion into a constitutionally protected area." Note the language: Intrusion into. In Grady, on the other hand, the Court refers to intruding "on" the subject's body. There was no intrusion into the body here, unlike a case such as Winston v. Lee. Instead, there was an affixing around a body part. So I don't think we really know if the Court means to adopt a trespass or a physical intrusion test. Instead, the reasoning in Grady seems to be primarily analogical: If connecting the GPS device to a car was a search in Jones, connecting the GPS device to an ankle must be a search here. It's about as minimalist as you can get.
I wonder if the best way to make sense of the Jones test is that the test is physical intrusion into (Silverman) or affixing onto (Jones). Too early to say, at this point.
3) I've sometimes asked if there are any fact patterns in which there is no Katz search but there would be a Jones search. In other words, does Jones do any actual work, or does it just change labels around? It's somewhat plausible to argue that Grady is an example of such a fact pattern: Pre-Jones, I don't think I would have thought that affixing a bracelet around someone "searches" them. Or at least it wouldn't have been clear that it was the case.
4) If the facts of Katz came up today, would the Supreme Court say that government had conducted a Jones search, and that there was no reason to reach whether the government had also conducted a Katz search in Katz? After all, in Katz the agents taped a microphone to the top of the phone booth Katz was using. In the Jones/Grady sense, they had physically intruded onto the phone booth.
I suppose the difference is that, in Katz, the government installed the microphone when Katz was not using the phone booth. That is, the phone booth wasn't his at the time of installation. It didn't become Katz's phone booth until he entered, closed the door, and put in a coin to place a call. So maybe the real difference between Katz and Jones is that Jones applies to control or ownership at the moment of the affixing, while Katz applies to the monitoring after the affixing. Katz was decided under Katz, not physical trespass, because when Katz came into the phone booth it already had the microphone attached.
Maybe that's right, although it's worth noting that this explanation clashes with what Katz itself said concerning why the Silverman physical intrusion standard wasn't implicated in Katz. According to Katz, that was true because the microphone "did not happen to penetrate the wall of the booth." So Katz doesn't seem to recognize the distinction above. Although I suppose that clash is eliminated if the Jones test standard is now considered to be intrusion into (Silverman) plus affixing onto (Jones). At the time of Katz, there was only the intrusion into test, the thinking would go. When Jones then resurrected the Silverman intrusion standard, it then implicitly added the affixing onto test. Maybe.
Another way to think about this is that Katz actually raises two distinct questions. First, is a phone booth a place that can be searched—that is, to which a sufficient intrusion can count as a search? And second, was the government's act of taping the microphone to the phone booth and listening in on calls the kind of act that counted as a search if the phone booth is a place that can be searched? In the Jones world, the first question is defined by "persons, houses, papers, and effects," and the question of "search" is just about the second question. But I think that distinction is less clear in Katz, which tended to blend the two issues.

Making a 21st century constitution: the rules we have established for democracies are now outdated
Democratic constitutions are unfit for purpose, with governments facing increased pressures from populists and distrust from citizens. The only way to truly solve these problems is through reform, argues Frank Vibert. He draws on his new book on the topic and sets out the ways in which constitutions should be revitalised.

The Irish Citizens' Assembly on the 8th Amendment is a model for participatory democracy, which other democratic countries should follow
Ireland's referendum to repeal the 8th Amendment of its constitution, and so liberalise the country's abortion laws, was preceded by a Citizens' Assembly which recommended these reforms. This form of democratic participation, which crucially was state funded and informed the Irish government's approach, is a model for producing better democratic decision making, argues Jack Bridgewater.
Gender and power-sharing – why a Citizens' Assembly is needed in Northern Ireland
The prospects for Northern Ireland's power-sharing democracy look bleak. A Citizens' Assembly is planned for members of the public to deliberate on the disputed topics. Claire Pierson and Jennifer Thomson argue that these forms of public participation have a particular benefit for the representation of women, and has the potential to break down entrenched party political divides.
A citizens' convention for UK democracy is more necessary with every passing day
Many democratic societies have benefited from establishing conventions of citizens chosen at random to deliberate on major constitutional questions. Now is the time for the UK to have its own citizens' convention, argue Graham Allen and Andrew Blick, to rebuild and renew our fractured representative democracy.
Beyond the binary: what might a multiple-choice EU referendum have looked like?
Voters in the EU referendum could choose only between leaving and remaining – with no say on whether to stay in the single market, renegotiate a different deal or even integrate more fully with the EU. Lily Blake argues a multiple-choice referendum of the kind held occasionally abroad would have been less divisive, set a […]

A written British constitution would do much to enhance Britain's democracy and the wellbeing of its citizens

Everlit Will Be Debuting A New Song Live In Concert
by Melanie Gomez January 16, 2018, 2:44 am 2.5k Views
Everlit is BACK! Since their single "Break Away" which spent 20 consecutive weeks in the top 10 on Loudwire's Battle Royale off of their 2015 EP Renovate, the band will finally be releasing a new song.
And this new song will be debuted exclusively at a Philly show! If you want to go, you can purchase your tickets by clicking HERE.
The show will be at MilkBoy in Philadelphia, PA on January 20th featuring Everlit, Mach22, Siravo, and Night Mission. Tickets start as low as $10 when bought in advance, and will be $12 at the door.
We couldn't be more thrilled to hear new music from Everlit, because we absolutely loved "Break Away." Their genre of music can be described as similar to bands like Escape The Fate, Bullet For My Valentine, Asking Alexandria, and Get Scared. But it isn't just their rock sound that we love, it's their lyrics.
With lyrics like, "You never see what I see / The weight you're putting on me / We never seem to see eye to eye / I keep running away / But I'm so quick to return / This battle in me is starting to burn," a story is being told. Ryan Panfil (vocalist of Everlit) is talking about how a person can sometimes be the thing that's holding you back.
Throughout the song, Ryan sings, "You're no good, I need out / Gotta break away, Gotta break away / You bring me down, You're so contagious," showing that when someone is bringing you down that badly, you simply have to break away.
With all the issues going on in the world today, this is an important message to hear. Because nobody should ever let someone take advantage of them, especially to the point where they feel like they're drowning. A band with great music is one thing, but Everlit is a band with an important message. We appreciate that they're using their music as an outlet to help others while expressing their emotions all at the same time.
Everlit is currently in the studio with Taylor Larson recording their second EP. Taylor has engineered, and/or mixed tracks for bands like Asking Alexandria, Periphery, From First To Last, I See Stars, Veil Of Maya, Darkest Hour, The Dangerous Summer, and more. Be sure to follow the band on social media to stay updated on an official release date for their new album.
Check out their video for "Break Away" below:

Summary: We construct certain families of piecewise linear representations (\(cpl\)-representations) of the symmetric group \(S_n\) and of the affine Weyl group \(\widetilde {S}_n\) of type \(A^{(1)}_{n -1}\) acting on the space of triangles \(X_n\). We find a nontrivial family of local \(cpl\)-invariants for the action of the symmetric group \(S_n\) on the space \(X_n\) and construct a global invariant with respect to the action of the affine Weyl group \(\widetilde{S}_n\) (the so-called cocharge). We find continuous analogs for the Kostka-Foulkes polynomials and for the crystal graph. We give an algebraic version of some combinatorial transformations on the set of standard Young tableaux.

Science Says Use the 7 Magic Words of Goal Achievement to Accomplish Big Things
Encouragement is great. But research shows cold, hard truth is even better.
By Jeff Haden, Contributing editor, Inc.@jeff_haden
Years ago, a boss told me earning a management position would be too difficult for me. I didn't look the part. I didn't act the part. I didn't "manage up," which to me meant "kissing up."
So I worked my butt off to prove him wrong, and to prove something to myself.
Hold that thought.
You want your employees to be successful.
So when you -- or they -- set a goal, or undertake something difficult, you encourage them. You focus on the positives. You praise their potential. And you downplay the difficulties.
After all, the last thing anyone wants to hear is that a goal they want to achieve is extremely -- maybe almost impossibly -- hard to accomplish.
Even though that's exactly what they need to hear.
A 2018 weight loss study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that I've referenced before shows that clearly describing the difficulties a person will face can actually increase their perseverance and resolve.
One phrase in particular makes people try harder, and stay the course longer:
This will be really hard for you.
The participants were split into two groups. One group received standard morale-boosting: Lots of encouragement, lots of positive reinforcement, lots of "You can do it!"
People in the other group were told they possessed very little self-control -- and that their genetics would actually work against them.
'It's impressive and encouraging that you are taking this step to improve your weight and health," the researchers told them, "but [you need to] understand the daunting challenges you're facing."
With that group, the intent wasn't to discourage. The intent was to make sure they knew it would be really hard. That they would face challenges and setbacks. That, sometimes, they would probably feel like giving up.
When times got tough, they weren't surprised. Instead, they knew struggle was part of the process.
Which made the challenge easier to overcome.
And led to the people in the "this will be really hard for you" group losing more weight than those in the "you can do it!" group.
How to Strike the Right Balance
Say an employee hopes to earn a promotion. Or a friend wants to run a marathon. Or a child has an interest in science and commerce and wants to become the next Elon Musk.
While providing an honest description of the difficulties is important, don't start there. Don't start with what the researchers call a "sobering description of the challenges."
Start positive: Show, by your enthusiasm, that you think your employee, your friend, or your child is capable of achieving big things.
Then talk about the work involved. Then can talk about what he or she will need to learn. What education might be important. What experiences might be important. How effort, perseverance, and hard work will be required.
And how setbacks will be part of the process -- after all, every successful person has failed. Most have failed more than the average; that's one reason they're successful today. Take Musk: He's failed, many times -- yet also has a history of overcoming setbacks.
Make sure they understand that challenges, roadblocks, and setbacks are just part of the process.
Because where achieving big goals is concerned, that's the magic formula: Expecting adversity. Expecting roadblocks and challenges. Expecting, sometimes, to fail.
Knowing that times will get tough makes it easier to keep going when times actually do get tough.
Because tough times are part of the process.
While there's a fine line between setting realistic expectations and dampening someone's spirits, staying on the right side of the line is easier when you also describe how you will help that person achieve a daunting goal.
So when achieving something will be really hard for someone you know, don't just encourage. Say "This will be really hard for you."
It works.
Science says so.

Let's start off with the basics! Kangaroo Island is Australia's third largest island covering 4,500 square kilometers (3,400 square miles). It is located 14 kilometers off the south coast of South Australia and has a total population of 4,894.
Here's one of the KI facts that really shocked us. For every one person living on the island there are 14 kangaroos!
Kangaroo Island comes by its name honestly, with over 65,000 kangaroos calling it home. However, that only makes up 0.13% of Australia's entire kangaroo population.
These are the remarkable rocks that have been shaped by wind and rain
The Remarkable Rocks are one of Kangaroo Island's most treasured attractions. Located in Flinders Chase National Park, the boulders have been shaped by wind, waves, and rain over 500 million years into fascinating shapes and sizes.
There's also the equally impressive Admirals Arch, the remaining entranceway to an ancient cave. Both of these sites are two of the most popular tourist attractions to visit on the island.
Kangaroo Island is filled with so much wildlife they even have safari tours on the island. One of the most amusing creatures you can spot on a walking tour are the hordes of long-nosed fur seals.
Once an endangered species, the fur seal population on Kangaroo Island has now grown to over 100,000!
The coast of Kangaroo Island has been a dangerous place for seafarers. Since record keeping began in 1847, there have been over 80 shipwrecks off the island.
Cape Borda, Cape du Couedic and Cape Willoughby are the three remaining lighthouse locations on the island. We challenge you to go see them all!
Cape du Couedic lighthouse is still used today
If you read our fun facts about South Australia you'll know the region is famous for their world-class wine. Well, Kangaroo Island has some impressive wines too!
There are 14 wineries on the island specializing in cabernet, shiraz and chardonnay. Take in a glass overlooking the sea and you'll never want to leave!
With secluded stretches of white sand, the beaches of Kangaroo Island may be one of Australia's best kept secrets.
Vivonne Bay is a favorite beach of many, with miles of white sand and plenty of space to set up a couple chairs and an umbrella and relax among the crystal blue waters.
The largest town on Kangaroo Island is Kingscote. Filled with fabulous restaurants, you can cap off your day at the beach with a dinner made from local produce and seafood.
Haven't convinced you to visit Kingscote yet? How about this? Kingscote is home to a colony of miniature penguins! These guys are honestly the cutest things we've seen.
There are so many amazing beaches dotted around the island
This is one of the most interesting facts about Kangaroo Island! The Liguarian bee is unique to the island and is the only genetically pure population of the species.
In fact, Kangaroo Island is considered the oldest bee sanctuary in the world. Plus, the honey is totally original and absolutely delicious!
The cave system on Kangaroo Island is one of the most intriguing in all of Australia. The limestone caves full of stalactites and fossils are over 500 million years old.
The caves were discovered in 1885 when a man fell into a sinkhole while riding his horse!
In January 2020, disaster visited Kangaroo Island with a devastating bushfire. The bushfire was the island's largest ever, burning almost 50% of the land.
Amazingly, from the burned landscape, native vegetation has regenerated with some wildflower species being seen on the island for the first time in over 70 years.
There are over 260 bird species on the island
With over 260 bird species, Kangaroo Island is a bird-watchers paradise! Black swans, wedge-tailed eagles, cockatoos, shearwaters, and pelicans are just a few examples of the island's incredible biodiversity.
And keep your eyes peeled for the crimson rosella, a stunning ruby-red parrot endemic to the island.
If we haven't convinced you already, Kangaroo Island is one of the best places in Australia to learn about and experience wildlife.
The Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park homes more than 150 species of native Australian wildlife including wombats, koalas, emus, lizards, venomous snakes and dingos.
How about a little extreme sports while you visit Kangaroo Island? The sand dunes in the area known as Little Sahara offer 70 meter (230 feet) descents that you can surf or toboggan down.
For the less adventurous dune buggies can also be rented to explore the wind-swept dunes.
The echidna is such a fascinating creature
The echidna is one of the oddest animals we've ever laid eyes on and they're all over Kangaroo Island!
While its spiky exterior and rotund body may remind you of a porcupine, the echidna's closest relative is actually a platypus. It is also one of the only mammals to lay eggs!
The sinking of the Portland Maru was one of the biggest shipwrecks off the coast of Kangaroo Island.
Carrying wheat from Port Lincoln to Moji, the Japanese vessel ran aground and sank on March 19th, 1935. It is one of the most popular scuba diving locations on Kangaroo Island today!
Most of the locals call Kangaroo Island simply KI, but the island has been known by a few other names over the years. The French explorers called it Ile Decrès.
For the indigenous residents, Kangaroo Island has a more ominous name, Karta Pintingga, the island of the dead.
Flinders Chase National Park is a great place to visit
Two of the best activities to enjoy on Kangaroo Island are star-gazing and camping. Flinders Chase National Park has some of the best dark skies in the world.
With four campgrounds to choose from, the park is the perfect place to get cozy in the evening and hopefully spot the Southern lights.
The Bay of Shoals along the north coast of Kangaroo Island is home to numerous bottlenose dolphin pods of up to 100!
They come to feast on squid in the secluded bay and you can view them from the shore or even get up close and personal by snorkeling alongside them.
Wander through the dense thickets of eucalyptus trees of Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary and you're bound to spot one of Kangaroo Island's most famous residents, the koala.
While many koalas died in the 2020 bushfires, the population is rebounding from local recovery efforts. Koalas like to hide up in the trees, so remember your binoculars!
This is what Kangaroo Island is all about!
From the land to the sea, Kangaroo Island is rich in agricultural history and abundance. Grapes, honey, wool, beef and grain are the most popular crops grown on the island today.
In the sea, the southern rock lobster is in high demand worldwide. You won't go hungry on Kangaroo Island!

One of the leading causes of disability in Canada, mental illness affects one in five Canadians every year with about eight per cent of adults experiencing a major depression. Mental illness is serious and it is largely misunderstood considering its ability to impact the social and professional lives of those it affects.
Mental Health Week seeks to bring awareness to this "invisible illness", to reduce the stigma around it and to encourage conversations about mental illness and mental health. Sadly, stigma and shame keep those suffering with mental illness from seeking the treatment they desperately need. Lack of awareness and understanding isolates people from the support of their family, friends and co-workers. This is especially true for those who are filing disability claims.
Mental health awareness is imperative in filing a disability claim. A successful claim requires proof of treatment. It requires a clear understanding of the illness and the limitations of the claimant. To make a claim, the insurance company will need to know how the illness affects the claimant's ability to perform their job as well as information and observations from a doctor. These are all much easier to obtain when the stigma is removed and there is awareness, understanding and open dialogue about mental illness.
The CMHA provides the following statistics to create greater awareness of the disease.
* By age 40, about 50 per cent of the population will have or have had a mental illness.
* Anxiety disorders affect 5 per cent of households, causing mild to severe impairment.
* Approximately 1 per cent of Canadians will experience bipolar disorder.
* 1 per cent of the Canadian population is affected by schizophrenia.
* 49 per cent of those who feel that they suffer from depression or anxiety have never been to see a doctor about it.
* Stigma/discrimination presents a serious barrier to diagnosis and treatment and acceptance in the community.
The Canadian Mental Health Association, founded in 1918, is one of the oldest voluntary organizations in Canada. Each year, they provide services and supports to more than 1.3 million Canadians through the combined efforts of more than 11,000 volunteers and staff across Canada in over 330 communities.
If you or someone you know needs assistance in filing a disability claim, please contact us for a free consultation. We understand, we care and we are here to help.

← George Karl – The Biggest Snake in the NBA
NBA Draft Pick? Not Quite →
Phil Jackson Proves His Genius
Posted by Mike Reyes
Phil Jackson received all kinds of unnecessary criticism throughout his first full season in New York and it was mind boggling to me. Every single little move was critiqued as if Jackson was giving away Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant in their prime for scraps.
First it started with Tyson Chandler who became a malcontent that enjoyed nothing more than to throw his coach Mike Woodson under the bus. And doing so after being a complete no-show in the playoffs against Roy Hibbert the previous season and injury prone the next. Chandler was a $14.6 million dollar player who wanted out and Phil Jackson had no intent of re-signing.
Was Jose Calderon, Shane Larkin and Cleanthony Early a great return? Not overly impressive, but Phil wanted to change the culture. Bring in character guys and hope to land young talent and that's what he aimed for with Calderon and Early and we'll see how Cleanthony turns out, but the biggest part of that trade was getting rid of Raymond Felton. The man had a gun charge pending against him and a player option everyone in the world knew he was going to pickup. He was a player no one wanted any part of. How Jackson was able to sucker Dallas into taking him on was stunning, and for that alone the deal was acceptable.

The other deal that ended up somehow being highly criticized was Iman Shumpert and J.R. Smith to the Cleveland Cavaliers for a future second-round pick. The thing I hate most about the New York media and Knicks fans in general is that they're all walking contradictions. When the Knicks signed J.R. Smith all the talk was that New York bid against themselves and didn't need to give him three years. Smith's $6.4 million on the books next season is a killer. Can't get rid of that contract. Who would want him? He's immature. Doesn't focus. All he wants to do is party.
That was the never-ending talk about J.R. Smith as a Knick.
Then suddenly the narrative changed because as I said, they're all walking contradictions. J.R. was good for about 15 minutes in the playoffs for Cleveland and then was a complete disaster in the NBA Finals. Showing his true worthless self yet again. And as for Shumpert, he was another player Phil had no intention of re-signing and rightfully so. Shumpert's inconsistencies made him nothing better than a 20-25 minute per night role player. Not worth the time or the money.
Then Phil was somehow able to deal 38-year old point guard Pablo Prigioni to the Houston Rockets for Alexey Shved and two future second round picks. Shved is of course no all-star by any means but the simple fact he was able to obtain a 26-year old guard with more talent that he'd be able to at least evaluate for a few months was worth the trade in itself.
Aside from the trades, the other big thing most kept harping on was the fact that Phil called these Knicks a "playoff team."
First and foremost, what was Phil supposed to say? They re-signed Carmelo Anthony and traded their center for a veteran point guard. The team came off a 37-win season and in a weak Eastern Conference I'm sure Phil expected to get in as a seven or eight seed. Instead, Jose Calderon got hurt early, Shumpert injured his shoulder and J.R. Smith was absolutely horrific. Add a nagging knee injury for Carmelo Anthony along with the disastrous start and rather than trying to salvage anything, Phil just blew it up and as a result, this season turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Any other scenario that was originally expected had the Knicks squeezing in the first round, probably getting swept and ending up with the 15th or 16th pick in the NBA Draft.
Would you have preferred that to be how 2014-15 played out? Would Phil have done a great job then?

My favorite part about the Kristaps Porzingis pick by the Knicks is that it shows they're really about the rebuild and setting this team up for the long-term, not just trying to get a player that can help them now in order to please their moronic fans. One thing these fans cannot deny is everything that has been said about this kid.
Porzingis was VERY impressive in workout. A scout called him the best player in the draft "He's better than Karl Towns," said the scout.
— Keith Pompey (@PompeyOnSixers) June 12, 2015
And then you have the best NBA reporter in the business, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports, reveal what he has been told by general managers around the league.
Woj just now on FS1: "Several GM's told me that (Porzingis) was best player in the draft" and worthy of consideration at #1 overall — Tommy Beer (@TommyBeer) June 26, 2015
Knicks fans can say they wanted Justise Winslow or Emmanuel Mudiay or Willie Cauley-Stein or maybe trade back for Frank Kaminsky and another asset. Those all could have been good options, particularly the first three players mentioned, but if Phil Jackson truly sees some Pau Gasol potential in Porzingis and a player with clearly the most upside, who am I to dispute a man that's won eleven rings as a head coach?
Phil took the player who they thought has the highest ceiling without using the lens of Melo's contract. That's how NY should always do it
— ☕netw3rk (@netw3rk) June 26, 2015
The Knicks shot for the moon and if they end up with Neil Armstrong ten years from now, those same crying fans will be wearing his jersey talking about how he's better than Patrick Ewing. Because again, they're idiots.

Now we get to the absolute steal of the night.
Couldnt have paid me to believe that Knicks would fail to get 1st rounder for Tyson, Shump and JR, yet would get for Tim. The world is weird
— Chris Herring (@HerringWSJ) June 26, 2015
How the Knicks were able to move Tim Hardaway Jr. to the Atlanta Hawks for the 19th pick and get Jerian Grant is absolutely stunning to me. I don't know if there was a bigger stiff in the entire league this past year than THJ. On a team with easily the worst talent in the league he struggled to even score, let alone actually show some improvement and worth going into the future. Not only is he probably the worst defensive player in the league but his shooting has proved to not even be worth the eyesore it is to watch him play. The Knicks drafted Hardaway Jr with the 24th pick in a weak draft and somehow was able to move him for the 19th pick in a strong draft two years later after virtually no improvement.
I'm a very big fan of Grant as a player in the NBA. He has bloodlines to not only the league but to the triangle offense. His uncle, Horace, of course played for Phil Jackson and won championships in Chicago playing in that offense. Something I'm sure Jerian will be very familiar with before he heads into training camp with New York. On top of that, he's an exceptional athlete who has the balls to take and make the big shot. A great trait to have not only in the league, but especially in a city like New York.

And last but not least, Phil Jackson with another shrewd move on the night. He trades two future second-round picks to Philadelphia for the rights to Guillermo Hernangomez of Spain. A draft-and-stash guy with a lot of skill in the low post and a nice feel around the basket. Resembling somewhat of a young Marc Gasol, this ended up being a really nice value pick for the Knicks. The other plus is Hernangomez was a teammate of Porzingis in Spain, something I'm sure can't hurt when he does join the team.
When Phil Jackson took over this New York Knicks team it was never about the 2014-15 season. With the contracts of Tyson Chandler, Amar'e Stoudemire and Andrea Bargnani coming off the books, this team rebuild was always about the cap space that opened up in the summer of 2015 and the flexibility they hope to have beyond that.
For Phil Jackson, the real evaluation began Thursday night at the Barclays Center. And as far as I'm concerned, he hit it out of the park.
