Self-Management Has A Go-To-Market Problem
By James PrattMarch 22, 2016March 29th, 2016No Comments
My good friend Josh Allan Dykstra recently wrote a piece called The Future Of Managers, Is No Managers in which he gives 3 reasons that self-management principles haven't yet taken hold.
We don't think of self-management as an actual "structure."
We think this idea is new and hasn't been proven to work
We're terrified of the idea of an organization without managers/leaders
Josh's first two points are perception problems that stop the majority of organizations from considering self-management. These doubts are reinforced by the business media as they pick over Tony Hsieh's challenging adoption of Holacracy* at Zappos.
The last problem though, is more about the implementation of self-management. Once you've decided, how do you get it to take hold? It's obvious that managers are terrified of a self-managed organization. They have something to lose; their management job! And the prestige and power that comes with it. It's less obvious that employees also resist self-managed organizations for three, subtle, reasons.
One – People Have Expectations
Most people have spent their lives working for managers. People are completely used to working for managers, so when they take a job they EXPECT to have a manager. At a company like Zappos, every employee chose to work for an employer who had managers. Changing to a self-managed organization challenges a fundamental expectation that employees have a manager. Inertia of expectations creates resistance.
Two – Managers Serve A Purpose
I was talking about management over coffee with a friend. He described a situation where there was a supervisor who had some full-time employees and some interns. It was common for the full-time employees to tell the supervisor when the interns weren't pulling their weight. The manager was a bufferfor difficult conversations. Take the manager out of that situation and the full-time employee has to raise their performance concerns directly with the interns. Uncomfortable! Managers are a comfortable buffer for employees. Without a manager you can't blame poor performance on a manager who didn't make the right decision, or give enough information. If you have a problem with a person, a decision, a project it's up to you to resolve it. You're suddenly totally responsible for your own work. This is the second source of resistance.
Three – People Change When They Want To
Most people would thrive in and would embrace a self-managed organization. But people only truly embrace change when they decide to make the change. It's like getting fit. People only get fit when theydecide to. Most people will only embrace working in a self-managed organization when they choose to go work in one. So when you change a managed organization into a self-managed organization, for example Zappos, you're taking that decision away from the employee and that creates resistance.
Three Strikes, You're Out
Because people expect to have a manager, because managers act as a buffer and because employees don't opt-in to the change, employees create the biggest resistance to changing a managed organization into a self-managed one. And the bigger a company gets, the more resistance there is : 100, 500, 1000, 10,000 people create a lot of resistance. Supplement employee resistance with other systems, processes and customs within a company that have evolved to depend on managers and you're talking about performing catastrophic surgery.
It is no surprise to me that many attempts to change managed organizations into self-managed organizations fail or struggle. There are occasional success stories. DaVita embraced becoming a more democratic organization in 1999 under then CEO Kent Thiry. Semco is another example of an establish organization that went from managed to self-managed back in the 80s. 20 year old examples aren't compelling evidence to swing the masses to self-management.
There are successful and recent examples of sustainable, functional, self-managed organisations. Morningstar, Medium and Buffer are good examples. The key to their success is to start from scratch. If self-management is built in from the get go (or very early in the life of the company) anyone who chooses to work there is signing up to self-manage and be responsible for their work. And the company culture, systems and expectations build around self-management. Medium, Buffer and Morningstar all embraced self-managed principles before they became established organizations.
Self Management Needs To Cross The Chasm
Self Management has a go-to-market problem. It's a great product with low adoption. Geoffrey A. Moore's Crossing The Chasm is a good playbook for taking a new product to market. If you're not familiar with Crossing The Chasm, it describes several phases for taking a product to market to achieve widespread adoption. Each phase has a different playbook. First, you need to attract the visionaries (2%) who help you bring in the early adopters (13%) and if you can "cross the chasm" then the system tips into the early majority (starting 17% of the market) and your product can be a success.
The problem is, we're still selling self-management to the 2% of visionaries. Yes, there are visionaries in established organizations, for example Tony Hsieh at Zappos.
The target market of "organizations" is simply too big and the number of visionaries too small to create any momentum.
In fact, it hurts the cause to have difficult migrations like Zappos played out in the public domain. It creates anti-momentum.
We're selling self-management to the wrong customers and we need to change tack and re-focus our efforts, together. Forget landing the elephants and blue whales of established organizations. We need to go to the shore, find the amoeba and proto-organisms, and help them grow and succeed with self-management baked in from the start. If self-management allows creativity, ownership, engagement and agility to thrive, these companies will grow and evolve quickly. As they grow, succeed and become dominant in their market, so do the principles of self-managed organizations. As the old organizations die, replaced by our new self-managed organizations, what was once an oddball idea in the land of hierarchical organizations is as normal as an org chart is today.
Fellow practitioners. We need to play the long game. Let us re-focus our efforts on small companies who aim to grow big. Invest all our time and energy in tech startups and socially focused companies who already want to change the world and are lead by the visionaries of our age. That's a market we can cross the chasm in and win. If we these companies change the world, their influence will help us change how organizations are managed.
Or perhaps more appropriately not managed.
* If you're not familiar with Holacracy, it's a robust system for a self-managed organization.

Love love love my Project Life App. At the moment my mission is to scrap a few photos from 2013 and below with Project Life App. Most of my photos live on flickr, which I can easily access from my phone. I just wish that in the future Project Life App will support importing photos from flickr. For the time being I save my old photos from flickr to my phone for easy access when I am using the Project Life app.
For this week project I used Project Life App, Phonto App, Pic tap go app and Rhonna app. Mobile scrapbooking is definitely fun. It's the first time ever that I have managed to scrapbook faster than making memories.
A mix of old and new photos to make a beautiful layouts with Project Life App. I can' t tell you enough how much this app has changed the way I scrapbook my memories. It's so simple and yet so amazingly beautiful. All I have to do is add photos and journaling and I am done. Bam!! In less than 10 minutes I have a complete layout.
If you have not tried this app yet, I highly recommend it. It will be the best investment of your scrapbooking life.
Happy Scrapping! Be creative Be You!

i had so much fun creating for More Than Words August 2017 Main Challenge!
foi super gostoso criar para o desafio de agosto de 2017 do More Than Words!
and here is the mood board.
e aqui o mural para inspiração.
i chose a photo my personal trainer took of me some time ago where it shows my learning how to walk again without a cane.
the word harmony inspired me because i seek harmony in every step i take along the way.
and that is what my journaling says on my layout.
for the song lyrics challenge i was inspired by "hero" by Mariah Carey where she says "when you feel like hope is gone look inside you and be strong and you'll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you".
for the background i used this gorgeous papers from the "old black and white"collection. the big flower was fussy cut from one this paper's collection.
escolhi uma foto tirada há algum tempo atrás pela minha personal, mostrando meu aprendizado em caminhar novamente sem uma bengala.
a palavra harmonia me inspirou porque eu procuro harmonia em cada passo que dou durante essa jornada.
escolhi a música "hero"da Mariah Carey onde ela diz "quando você sentir que a esperança foi embora, olhe para dentro de você e seja forte e assim vai descobrir que existe um herói dentro de você".
para o background usei esse lindo papel decorado da coleção "old black and white". a flor grandona foi recortada de outro papel dessa mesma coleção.
i had a lot of fun taking this challenge!
Beautiful layout Julia! Thank you so much for joining us at More Than Words!
Such a gorgeous page! Thank you for playing along with us at More Than Words!

Sphinx (disambiguation)

In monotheism and henotheism, God is conceived of as the Supreme Being and principal object of faith. The concept of God as described by theologians commonly includes the attributes of omniscience (infinite knowledge), omnipotence (unlimited power), omnipresence (present everywhere), omnibenevolence (perfect goodness), divine simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence.
God is also usually defined as a non-corporeal being without any human biological gender, but his role as a creator has caused some religions to give him the metaphorical name of "Father". Because God is concieved as not being a corporeal being, he cannot (some say should not) be portrayed in a literal visual image; some religious groups use a man to symbolize God because of his role as the "father" of the universe and his deed of creating man's mind in the image of his own.
In theism, God is the creator and sustainer of the universe, while in deism, God is the creator, but not the sustainer, of the universe. Monotheism is the belief in the existence of one God or in the oneness of God. In pantheism, God is the universe itself. In atheism, God does not exist, while God is deemed unknown or unknowable within the context of agnosticism. God has also been conceived as being incorporeal (immaterial), a personal being, the source of all moral obligation, and the "greatest conceivable existent". Many notable philosophers have developed arguments for and against the existence of God.

"God" is a song by American singer-songwriter and musician Tori Amos. It was released as the second single from her second studio album Under the Pink. It was released on February 3, 1994 by Atlantic Records in North America and on October 3 by EastWest Records in the UK.
The song reached number 44 on the UK Singles Chart. as well as #1 on the US Modern Rock Chart.
The B-sides to the American release included Amos' reworking of "Home on the Range", with new lyrics, as well as a two-song instrumental piano suite. An American cassette single featured the b-side "Sister Janet".
A completely different single was released in Europe on CD, 12" and 7" vinyl single, and cassette. The 7" single was a glossy dual sided picture disc. The various formats featured ambient and jungle house remixes of the track by CJ Bolland, Carl Craig and The Joy.

The traditional conception of God in Judaism is strictly monotheistic. God is generally understood by Jews to be the absolute one, indivisible and incomparable being who is the ultimate cause of all existence. Jewish tradition teaches that the true aspect of God is incomprehensible and unknowable, and that it is only God's revealed aspect that brought the universe into existence, and interacts with mankind and the world. The one God of Israel is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who is the guide of the world, delivered the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, and gave them the Law of Moses at biblical Mount Sinai as described in the Torah. Traditional interpretations of Judaism generally emphasize that God is personal, while some modern interpretations of Judaism emphasize that God is a force or ideal.
God has a proper name, written YHWH (Hebrew: יְהֹוָה, Modern Yehovah, Tiberian Yəhōwāh) in the Hebrew Bible. In Jewish tradition another name of God is Elohim.
The name of God used most often in the Hebrew Bible is the Tetragrammaton (YHWH Hebrew: יהוה), frequently anglicized as Jehovah or Yahweh but written in most editions of the Bible as "the Lord". Jews traditionally do not pronounce it, and instead refer to God as HaShem, literally "the Name". In prayer this name is substituted with Adonai, meaning "Master" or "Lord".

Press Council of India seeks report from Chhattisgarh government on journalist's arrest
The body observed that the police action against Prabhat Singh, who was put in custody for a WhatsApp message, appears to be a violation of press freedom.
Mar 30, 2016 · 09:46 am Updated Mar 30, 2016 · 10:03 am
Press Council of India chairman Justice Chandramauli Kumar Prasad on Tuesday sought a report on the arrest of local journalist Prabhat Singh from the Chhattisgarh chief secretary and the director general of police. The Council observed that the police action appears to be a violation of press freedom, reported PTI.
Prasad expressed concern that Singh was arrested by the Chhattisgarh police for allegedly posting an "obscene message" about a senior police officer on WhatsApp. "Taking suo-motu cognisance of the issue, the Chairman ordered a report on the facts of the case from the chief secretary, director general of police, Chhattisgarh, and the superintendent of police, Bastar," the PCI statement said.
The National Human Rights Commission has also issued a notice to the Chhattisgarh government over the "arrest and torture" of the Bastar journalist. Singh was arrested in Jagdalpur on March 21 on charges of cheating, preventing public servant from discharging his duties and under the IT Act for circulating insulting messages on WhatsApp groups.
On Tuesday, an Editors Guild of India team that traveled to Chhattisgarh released a report observing that journalists in the state were "working under tremendous pressure". They said there was a "sense of fear" among journalists in the conflict-affected region of Bastar and even those working in the state capital Raipur complained of their phones being tapped.

From magnificent Mayfair grooming emporiums fit to get a king to South London chop shops offering precision skin fades for less than a round of drinks, you never have to settle on a bad haircut ever again.
Don't the name fool you, the highly-skilled staff when it reaches this Edinburgh-born barbering establishment are not violent, which can be just as well given the array of bladed implements they've at their disposal.

For homeless people living in their cars,…
For homeless people living in their cars, Southern California churches, temples open their parking lots

On the second night after his church opened its parking lot to people living out of their cars, vans and other vehicles, Glenn Nishibayashi noticed a mother and daughter using one of the spaces.
He was interested in knowing how the previous evening worked out for them, and went over to inquire.
"This was the first good night's sleep I've had in weeks," the woman told him.
She explained that she was more accustomed to fitful nights parked on the street, staying half-awake so she could be alert to potentially being approached by strangers or rousted by police officers.
Members of St. Mary's Episcopal Church were initially concerned about the possible risks of opening up their parking lot to down-and-out strangers. But talking to the mother and daughter reassured Nishibayashi that their congregation had made the right decision to give the program a try.
"This is exactly what this program is for," said the 61-year-old Nishibayashi, whose grandparents helped found the historically Japanese American church located in what is now Los Angeles' Koreatown.
"It gets rid of that worry, so you can function so much better," he said. "This told me we were doing exactly the right thing."

St. Mary's, which now also serves Spanish-speakers, has special significance to the Japanese American community, as well as to Nishibayashi's family. For at least three generations, it was where he and relatives got married and marked other milestones. It was also the social and spiritual hub for a community that had suffered internment and racial discrimination during World War II.
In March, St. Mary's became the first site in Los Angeles to offer a privately operated "safe parking" program to shelter some of the city's more than 8,500 vehicle dwellers.

Nishibayashi, who considers the program a small step to address the "huge problem" of homelessness, voted as part of St. Mary's governing board to turn their modest church lot into a refuge for people living out of their cars. They opted to make up to 10 of their parking spots available each night, from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
He said part of the appeal of the program was that if a problem arose, they would be able to immediately halt it. The program is operated by the nonprofit Safe Parking L.A., which handles the security, screening process and other logistics. The group also helps to connect the program's clients to social workers who work to get them back on their feet.

St. Mary's Rev. Anna Olson said when she first heard about safe parking, it seemed like a feasible way for a community church without very much manpower to do their part to address a homelessness crisis that in recent years has seemed to eclipse all other problems in the city, and which has exploded from Orange County to the Inland Empire. The number of people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles rose 20 percent last year to 34,000, and by 23 percent countywide to 58,000 people.
A survey conducted by USC in the two months following L.A.'s annual homeless count found that 50 percent cited unemployment and financial reasons for becoming homeless for the first time, according to Gary Painter, director of the USC Homelessness Policy Research Institute.
The church wanted to respond to this growing crisis, according to Nishibayashi.
"It was something we could easily do," he said. "It required simply opening the gates to our parking lot."
Creating a 'culture shift'
Olson said that safe parking programs can sometimes be a tough sell initially, with concerns arising over safety and nuisance issues, but so far their program has operated smoothly.
"None of the most catastrophic things that people could have imagined, and I'm sure some people did imagine, have happened," Olson said.
While safe parking programs have long been established in places like Santa Barbara and San Diego, none existed in Los Angeles up until about a year ago. Efforts to set up parking programs in Los Angeles had moved slowly, even after the city last year instituted a ban on overnight vehicle dwelling in all but the industrial and commercial parts of the city.

When that ban was adopted, city leaders dangled the prospect of safe parking programs as a way to alleviate the limitations the ban placed on vehicle dwellers. Last May, public officials' efforts had yielded only one city- and county-operated program at the Wesley United Methodist Church in South Los Angeles serving families with children, but at a price that many safe-parking operators would consider cost prohibitive. No one had applied with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, a joint city and county agency, to offer a safe parking program, so public officials had to go out and look for a location and operator.
Veronica Lewis, director of SSG/HOPICS, which eventually came aboard to operate the South Los Angeles safe parking program, said their operating costs were "barebones," but the cost of leasing the parking spaces and paying the church's utility and maintenance costs drove up the overall budget.
As the hope had been for churches to essentially donate their parking areas, the high cost of using the church lot was unexpected, Lewis said.
"Nobody else decided to do it," Lewis said. But public officials felt it was worth putting in the extra money to do a test-run, and their program did the job, as "there were a lot of lessons learned" that could help inform other programs now being launched, she said.
"We're allowing families to feel safe, to actually get rest," she said. "There are positive outcomes … we've been able to demonstrate that."
As safe parking programs have slowly started to happen, the number of vehicle encampments seemed to only grow, most visibly in the form of large motorhomes lined up on city streets and under freeway over passes.
Some members of the faith community over the last year and a half have begun working to get more safe parking programs launched, but without the high cost. St. Mary's program grew out of efforts by Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice, an interfaith group that advocates for low-wage workers and communities that are economically disadvantaged. The group is hoping to encourage more churches, temples and other places of worship to offer similar parking programs.
Rabbi Jonathan Klein, the group's executive director, said their goal is to get safe parking sites set up "anywhere and everywhere" around the city.
"This is a great opportunity to do a tangible thing to support people who are struggling right now," he said. "There are churches all over the place with parking lots."
He noted that such programs usually start small, and add only a few extra spots to deal with a large need But they represent a "step in the right direction" toward creating a "culture shift" in fighting the stigma faced by people experiencing homelessness, he said.
When people experiencing homelessness are invited into a church parking lot, they are brought into a community where there are opportunities to build relationships, he said.
Klein's group works with Safe Parking L.A. which also has its roots in the faith community. It was started by Scott Sales, a lay member of Leo Baeck Temple in West Los Angeles who was part of a group interested years ago in creating a safe parking program there. While that effort never got off the ground, similar programs in Santa Barbara and San Diego were implemented and have since become the models that people in other parts of Southern California, such as the city of Los Angeles and Orange County, are now hoping to replicate.
The launch of safe parking at St. Mary's Episcopal Church has some hoping that it is only the first of many more safe parking programs. Several additional sites are already in the works, according to Safe Parking L.A. representatives.
One of those sites launched last week at the VA campus in West Los Angeles serving homeless veterans. It is also run by Safe Parking L.A.
"We need to start it. Otherwise we're going to have another fatality if we don't get going."
— Paul Leon, president of Illumination Foundation, on the need for safe parking lots for the homeless
The San Fernando Valley is among the areas that could soon see safe parking sites getting rolled out over the next month. Temple Judea in Tarzana recently voted to operate a program in its parking lot, while a city program is expected to be launched soon in the Valley.
L.A. City Councilman Paul Krekorian said he is planning to launch the city program on a piece of city property that is relatively out of the way from residential areas in his southeast Valley council district. It will initially offer 15 parking spaces, but there is the potential to expand it, he said. Safe Parking L.A. will be running that program as well, he said.
City and county leaders have noted the important role faith communities, which have long been the force behind shelter and food pantry programs, might be able to play in safe parking programs. Krekorian has sent a letter to faith groups in his district asking them to consider setting up safe parking programs. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti's office has also worked to promote the Safe Parking L.A.'s program to the faith community.
County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl has also worked behind the scenes to help provide discretionary funding to Safe Parking L.A. and their pilot programs in her district, some of them at places of worship.

Interest in safe parking programs appears to be growing not only in Los Angeles, but also in Orange County, which has been grappling with its own growing homelessness crisis that has lead to contentious fights over where to shelter homeless individuals who were cleared out of a massive encampment near the Santa Ana River. At last count in January 2017, Orange County had more than 4,000 people who were experiencing homelessness; about 460 were counted sleeping in vehicles.
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange County is working with a homeless services and housing nonprofit, Illumination Foundation, to finalize plans for a pilot program at a church in north Orange County.
The discovery in March of a family of four, including two young children, that died of apparent asphyxiation while sleeping in their van at a Garden Grove shopping center adds a sense of urgency to the effort.
RELATED STORY: Family of 4, including children, found dead in van in Garden Grove may have suffered carbon monoxide poisoning
"We need to start it," said Paul Leon, president of the Illumination Foundation. "Otherwise we're going to have another fatality if we don't get going."
Leon estimates more than 1,000 people are living out of their vehicles in Orange County.
The 20-parking spot proposal at St. Philip Benizi Catholic Church in Fullerton needs city approval and is being questioned by surrounding homeowners. But based on existing concern about homeless people on the streets and informal feedback from church members, the diocese expects a full endorsement for the project, said Greg Walgenbach, director of Life, Justice and Peace for the Orange County diocese.
The ball got rolling in September when a deacon at the church where the pilot project will be located contacted the diocese.
"This is one of many parishes seeking a compassionate way to respond," Walgenbach said.
Other Catholic churches around Orange County, already expressing interest in safe parking, are likely to follow quickly once they see how the pilot works, Walgenbach added, "We want to make sure we have places to take care of people where they are, and to get them into that referral process."
While officials and advocates said they were unaware of homeless parking initiatives being launched by houses of worship in Riverside or San Bernardino counties, religious leaders in the Corona area want to do more to help homeless people.
The Corona Norco Interfaith Association is scheduled to consider at its monthly meeting Thursday, May 10, various options for doing that, including safe parking programs, said Shabana Haxton, association secretary.
But some expressed concern that safe parking programs are a bandaid. Philip Mangano, president of the American Roundtable to Abolish Homelessness and adviser to San Bernardino County on homeless issues, said such initiatives are well meaning. But he suggested that safe parking is not what's needed.
Rather, he said, homeless people need housing — and programs that address their chronic problems while they have a roof over their heads.
"The antidote to homelessness is a place to live," Mangano said.
Safe parking program operators say that they are offering an intermediary location where people can obtain some stability as they find a more permanent place to live. Lewis, with SSG/HOPICS, said their goal is always to get the families housed, while Safe Parking L.A. partners closely with LAHSA's social workers to connect people to housing.
'Where can I park in L.A.?'
Back in Los Angeles, 45-year-old Catherine is scrambling to get by on the streets. She stays in her purple Dodge Charger in the same West Los Angeles neighborhood where she once lived. She recently lost her husband abruptly to cancer, the latest in a string of losses she has suffered of loved ones in the past six years.
"Just almost my whole support system passed," she said.

Catherine found herself homeless in March, after she lost her apartment. Prior to that she had been having trouble finding employment, and was feeling increasingly depressed living by herself.
On the first night she was homeless, she stayed in a hotel room, but the next was spent driving around town until she found an underground parking lot for a supermarket and stayed the night.
"I've never been through something like this," she said. "I was just Googling homeless this and homeless that, and where can I park in L.A.?"
She finally stumbled onto the St. Mary's parking during one of her online searches, and she stayed there for a few weeks, before returning to the Westside where she could be near her son.
"This place has been a godsend, big time."
— Catherine
Catherine said she is grateful that Safe Parking L.A. was there for her, and hopes more will be set up around the city. She said that she prefers living in he own car, to going to a shelter.

"This place has been a godsend, big time," she said of St. Mary's safe parking site.
"I really wish people would be open to it," she added. "I could think of a lot more people who can use something like this."

If you don't have a history of being paired with wonderfully knowledgeable and encouraging supervisors, you're not alone.

The research also shows that approximately 51 percent of U.S. managers are not engaged in their work. This figure is depressing, but it pales in comparison to the overall figure for employee disengagement in this country – a whopping 87 percent of employees are not engaged in their work (Gallup).

Sean Taylor died 15 years ago today
Mike Florio
Washington safety Sean Taylor was getting better every day, as a player and as a man. Only 24 years old and on path for a Hall of Fame career, Taylor was shot during a home invasion in Miami. He died 15 years ago today.
The Commanders will honor him today. They have honored him, and rightfully so, many times before today. They placed him in the Ring of Honor in 2008. They retired his number 21 in 2021. Today, a memorial will be unveiled at FedEx Field.
Limited-edition Sean Taylor Legacy Project merchandise, designed and inspired by his daughter, Jackie, will be available for purchase, with all proceeds going to gun violence prevention initiatives.
Taylor would be 39 years old. While his playing career undoubtedly would be over by now, he would have contributed to the game for many of the 15 years that he has been gone. He showed more than enough in his first three seasons to create very real expectations that he'd finish his football journey in Canton.
It's admirable that the Commanders continue to keep his memory alive, and that the team is utilizing the opportunity to raise money to minimize future incidents of gun violence leading to tragic, and permanent, outcomes.

Who would have thought that Paris would be hotter than Milan? As the menswear fashion sets migrated north from Milan to the City of Lights, do did the mercury — kicking off the first day of Paris men's fashion week with a top of 38 degrees Celsius. What a scorcher. But it wasn't just the streets that were on fire.
On the Valentino spring/summer 2018 runway, Pierpaolo Piccioli sent out a covetable collection of athletic street wear infused with the detailing and savoir-faire that Valentino is renowned for. Some may say it wasn't groundbreaking — after all, the "casualisation of menswear" has been a dominant trend for a few years now — but it was the execution of this aesthetic that had us salivating.

The new 'VLTN' logo white tee that's destined to sell like hot cakes; all those rectangular cross-body leather bags in bright primaries worn high and close to the chest (akin to the bum-bag trend currently dominating street style); that red tracksuit matching set with a double white stripe running down the left chest and left leg; and the truncated jackets in chevron stripes of green, blue and ivory. All very wearable, and all very now.

Avonside Engine Co Works No 1568 Lucy 0-6-0ST
Lucy was built by the Avonside Engine Company at Bristol in 1909 and delivered to the Hutchinson Estate & Dock Co. Ltd. at Widnes. It was one of three class B3 0-6-0STs supplied having 14″ x 22″ cylinders and 3′ 3″ driving wheels, a type so familiar for so long in Liverpool's dockland. They were named Gertrude, Lucy, and Mary and dated from 1906, 1909 and 1913 respectively, and were named after the daughters of John Hutchinson, one of the founders of the Widnes chemical industry.
The engine Lucy spent it's entire working life on the Widnes dock system.
It was dismantled in August 1952 and sent to the Hunslet Engine Co. for overhaul. One year later, it returned to work very smartly painted green with yellow lining.
Lucy was retired in January 1971 and was purchased by the Liverpool Locomotive Preservation Group in February 1972 and stored together with Andrew Barclay 0-4-0ST locomotive Efficient in a dockside engine shed at Seacombe. Lucy was transferred to Steamport Southport in August 1973, but briefly returned across the Mersey in July 1978 to take charge of the Birkenhead docker No.4 railtour. Once again in the early 1980's, Lucy took retirement, and remains a static exhibit.
Lucy moved to the Ribble Steam Railway at Preston with the rest of the stock from Southport, and arrived there in February 1999.
Recently given the locomotive has been given a new coat of paint for exhibition in the museum, the long term plan is to return Lucy to working condition once more when time and materials become available.

Meet Bob Lazar: Star Of 'Area 51' Netflix Documentary And Whistleblower Warning People Against Storming The Nevada Government Facility
Bernadette Giacomazzo
Regardless who what you believe is — or isn't — being housed at the infamous Area 51 government facility, it's never a good idea to storm a government installation, no matter what you think is, or isn't, there. And that's the message this infamous whistleblower — someone who, perhaps, knows Area 51 better than anyone else outside of the government themselves — is trying to get out to the general population. Who is Bob Lazar?
Let's look at what we know about Bob Lazar — and the infamous Area 51.
RELATED: Where Is Area 51?
1. First, what exactly is Area 51?
The official name of the facility commonly known as Area 51 is Homey Airport, and sometimes, it's called Groom Lake. Regardless of what name it goes by, Area 51 is a highly classified government facility, and its official duties include hosting a US Air Force training range. Because of the highly sensitive nature of its official duties, not many details can be publicly released. As humans are wont to do, however, that secrecy has led to conspiracy theories abounding about what actually goes on there.
However, according to the National Security Archive, a few details were released about the past operations of Area 51 thanks to a 2005 FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request. The archive details that, amongst other things, the United States government had planned to dispatch spy planes to China (in order to help India) as well as used British crews to "confuse the Soviets," and overflew on French nuclear sites.
Most interestingly, however, Area 51 was known for its testing of the infamous U-2 bombers.
"What the CIA released in response to a 2005 Freedom of Information Act request is a substantially less redacted version of a history of two key aerial reconnaissance programs. Written by agency historians Gregory Pedlow and Donald Welzenbach, and titled The Central Intelligence Agency and Overhead Reconnaissance: The U-2 and OXCART Programs, 1954-1974, the study was published in classified channels in 1992. Subsequently, a heavily redacted version of the U-2 portion was published, in 1998, by the agency's Center for the Study of Intelligence as a book, The CIA and the U-2 Program, 1954-1974, in conjunction with a CIA conference on the U-2. The full study, in redacted form, had been released in response to FOIA requests," they report.
To date, however, the CIA and Area 51 officials haven't taken an "official" stance on the existence of UFOs, or of Area 51's role in discovering them.

Get your extra-special Area 51 Bud Lights! Ah, American capitalism...
2. And who, exactly, is Bob Lazar?
Bob Lazar is someone who has a bit of interesting history with Area 51. He's got a documentary out on Netflix called Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers, so he perhaps has his reasons for wanting people to pay attention to him.
He's someone who's considered a "double-edged sword" in the UFO community, because while he's a "self-proclaimed physicist" who claims to have worked on reverse engineering on the purported "extraterrestrial technology" near the Area 51 government site, none of his claims have been backed up by scientifically reproducible evidence.
And while he claims that he was educated at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and CalTech, there has been no evidence of his attendance at either of those universities. Even his attendance at Pierce Junior College in Los Angeles is questionable, at best.
However, according to the Los Angeles Times, Bob Lazar pleaded guilty to felony pandering back in 1990, after he aided & abetted a prostitution ring. And, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, in 2007, his company United Nuclear Scientific Supplies LLC was fined $7,500 and was forced to go on three years of probation after violating federal law.
So, it's safe to say he's a little questionable, at best.
The only reason any of us know anything about #Area51 is because of Bob Lazar. Thank you Bob for everything you've done. So happy to see Area 51 trending right now. pic.twitter.com/KhYw32yFbN

Bob Lazar is a questionable character.

3. Why is all this back in the news?
For the most part, it was safe to say that Area 51 wasn't at the forefront of everyone's minds until a few weeks ago, when a Facebook petition was started to "storm" Area 51, and had garnered about 1.5 million confirmed attendees (while another 1 million reported that they were "interested" in the event).
The Guardian reported that the attendees planned to storm the place in September.
"In a Facebook event titled "Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us," the creators explain: "We will all meet up at the Area 51 Alien Center tourist attraction and coordinate our entry. If we naruto run, we can move faster than their bullets. Let's see them aliens," the outlet reported.
And while Jackson Barnes — one of the creators of the meme — said that it was a "joke," designed to get "thumbsies upsies" on the Internet, there are still plenty of people who are planning to storm the area, and the United States Air Force is not amused.
People might actually 'Storm Area 51,' according to this awesome local news report https://t.co/N4ZEmzKTU1 pic.twitter.com/1D1ix6zEjB

It's probably not a good idea to piss off an entity that can answer the question "you and what army?" with a drone strike.
4. Houston, we have a problem...
Just as a reminder: The United States military has a series of technologies available to them — technologies that are so advanced that they aren't even released to the general public yet. If the United States Air Force wanted to, they could dispatch a drone to a whole other country, deploy a missile aimed at an enemy of the state, and kill the person, all without leaving the relative comfort of their living rooms.
The Associated Press reports that the United States Air Force is sending a not-so-subtle message in their warning against "storming" the area.
"Nellis Air Force Base said in a statement that the Air Force is aware of the Facebook posting and says "any attempt to illegally access the area is highly discouraged." The Air Force says it does not discuss its security measures and that the test and training range provides "flexible, realistic and multidimensional battlespace" for testing and "advanced training in support of U.S. national interests," reported the outlet.
Translation: no, you can't move faster than their bullets.
Is everyone so obsessed with FaceApp that we aren't storming Area 51 anymore? Cuz I'm out here and can't find anyone... pic.twitter.com/2szD4JTOPI

Storming Area 51 is no laughing matter.
5. Even Bob Lazar thinks that storming Area 51 is a bad idea.
Despite the fact that Lazar is, well, a questionable character, and he's been pushing this "there are aliens at Area 51" theory for longer than some of us have been alive, even he thinks that storming the area is a bad idea.
"I have to comment on this 'Storm Area 51' thing. I do understand it was started as a joke by someone, but there are a number of people who are actually planning on showing up. This is a misguided idea. Area 51 is a classified research base. There are no aliens or alien technology located there. The only place there was ever any alien technology was at Site S4, south of Area 51 proper. That was 30 years ago. S4 may have moved decades ago or it's possible it's no longer being used for the project. I do not support this 'movement'. The last time someone tried to get in to Area 51 he was shot. This is not the way to go about trying to get more information. What is good, is the interest in the subject — the science and technology. That is what would immediately change the world we live in," he said, according to Pop Culture.
So, if the questionable guy is saying that a questionable idea is too questionable even for him, maybe it's a good idea to reconsider all of this.
Read and watch this; it's to your benefit. Thanks @G_Knapp and @JoeRogan https://t.co/bgLIT2gXIW#BobLazar#GeorgeKnapp#JoeRogan pic.twitter.com/7scRDZ2wJo

ST NEOTS overcame Broxbourne on Saturday to retain their place at the top of Division One of the Five Counties Women's Hockey League.
Some strong attacking by St Neots early on brought a short corner, from which Emma Stocking found the net.
Further attacks from the league leaders gave Stocking her hat-trick before Broxbourne, who are currently in second place, managed to score in the second half.
Goals from Sarah Moore, Sam Bradbury and Liz Turnbull ended Broxbourne's hopes of a win, however.
AN impressive performance by St Neots saw them take on and beat the leaders of Division Four of the Five Counties Women's Hockey League.
Despite the visitors taking the lead early on, Hannah Taylor took advantage of a poor St Albans clearance to equalise. Then good attacking play brought a goal for Corinne Henson off a shot by Fiona Humphrey.
In the second half Taylor scored her second before Amy Wilkinson put the game out of reach with another.
St Albans scored a consolation goal in the dying seconds.


The Gifford, Florida rapper has the catchiest melodies and a whole lot of personality.
Style: Melody-driven but can also rap extremely well — can turn a love song into a gun song and a gun song into a sing along.
Melly's most popular song, "Virtual (Blue Balenciagas)," dropped shortly after he was released from jail in March, after beating a case that would've had him looking at a 15-year sentence. But before legal trouble temporarily sidelined his career, the 17-year-old had been gaining momentum in Florida with early tracks like "772 Love" and "Legendary," sing-songy tracks that showcased his natural ability for hook writing.
Much of Melly's catalog strikes a strong contrast between his words and the way they're delivered: "Blue Balenciagas" is an earworm with a sung hook about getting red blood on his blue shoes, "Slang That Iron" repurposes Chris Brown's "Say Goodbye" melody into a gun-toting ballad, and lines about flying his girlfriend out to an island come just after a couplet about unloading a clip on "4 Real." These moments could be read as sort of callous — he can also deliver love songs without any violent winks — but they also reveal a dark sense of humor. A quick listen to his discography in chronological order shows that Melly's changing his life for the better. His debut album is out in July.

Q: Finding the angle of the tangent of an ellipse from the intersecting point So this should be a simple problem, but I must be doing something wrong and the tangents are ending up completely wrong.
I have a four-parameter ellipse centered at $[0, 0]$:
$$ x^2 / a^2 + y^2 / b^2 = 1 $$
A tangent intersects the ellipse at the point $[u, v]$, having the coordinate equation:
$$ \frac{u}{a^2} × x + \frac{v}{b^2} × y = 1 $$
I would like to find the angle of the tangent. My approach is to find the slope $m$, and thereby $tan(\theta)$ of the angle $\theta$ between the line and the $x$ axis.
The general shape of a line is:
$$ y = m × x + c $$
$m$ being the slope, and $c$ the constant term.
I rearrange the equation for the tangent to get the same shape, and then I'll apply substitution to get $m$.
$$ \frac{v}{b^2} × y = 1 - \frac{u}{a^2} × x $$
Divide by $\frac{v}{b^2}$:
$$ y = \frac{1}{\frac{v}{b^2}} - \frac{u/a^2}{v/b^2} × x $$
Substitute $ m = \frac{u/a^2}{v/b^2} $ and $c = \frac{1}{v/b^2} $
Now I should have the formula to compute the slope of the tangent for any concrete point $[u, v]$ intersecting an ellipse with the semi-major and semi-minor axes $a$ and $b$, centered in $[0, 0]$.
However, the formula is wrong - it gives the right answers for a circle (when $a = b$), but nonsensical answers for an ellipse with non-zero eccentricity.
I've been staring at this for too long, and I can't see where I made the mistake. I'd really appreciate it if someone could point it out to me. Thanks!

A: Well, I figured out the problem. The ellipse was not centered in $[0, 0]$, that was where the focus was. By translating the points by $-C$ for to compute the slope, it now gives the right answers.
Linear algebra is just a series of gotchas.

So Today I managed to complete my second temple and I was excited as I had a T3 corruption chamber in it and so I bought an overpriced Tabula and went into the temple, well I get to the corruption chamber and I was unable to use it entirely, there were no "action" buttons in the screen tool tip, I tried hitting X, I tried to use Y to place the item into the chamber the chamber was completely non-Usable. The text said that I could corrupt an item with a chance it would disappear, but I could do nothing with the chamber.
Very disappointed as I had dreams of some sweet corruption powering my build for a while (or the more likely reality I bricked/lost the tabula. But just not being able to engage with it at all was very dissatisfying.
I am bumping this up for a response, a pretty big feature to completely not work in the release.
One other detail I will add for replicating the issue is that I did not go to the temple in my hideout I went from a map I was running.
I've passed this onto someone to take a look at to see if they can replicate the problem you experienced. Do you happen to have a clip of this occurring for you?
When you encounter the Corruption Altar you do not need to move the item over with 'X'. The Corrupt option should show up on your inventory screen with the keybind 'A' when your inventory cursor is hovering over the desired item.
As mentioned by Jeff, could you please provide a screen shot or a clip of the window when it pops up?
Unfortunately the screenshot I took on my phone ended up too blurry, but there when I was hovering over the item there was no actions indicated on the tooltip below the screen and I tried it for a good 10 minutes before I gave up. I doubt I hit "A" (and that would despawn my Spectres which would have been a major PITA) since that would normally equip the item on me but there was definitely no text on the bottom of the screen indicating I should hit A.


Unbiased target pre-amplification is often required when working with limiting amounts of starting material (e.g. laser capture microdissections, FACS isolated cells or precious clinical specimens) or when working with nanoscale reaction volumes associated with microfluidic qPCR.
PerfeCTa PreAmp is a stabilized 5X concentrated reagent that delivers unbiased pre-amplification of up to 100 target cDNA sequences from as little as 100 pg of total RNA input and is compatible with either probe-based or dye-based qPCR detection chemistries.

Your Company Newsletters' Most Valuable Real Estate!
The back cover of your newsletter is not only your mailing panel. It will be the first thing your subscribers see when they receive it in the mail, so use that space and fill it with information to really grab your reader's attention. This brings man advantages to your newsletter and helps to ensure your potential customers look through it.
Back covers are so important because most newsletters are designed as self-mailers and are folded with the mailing panel on one side and the prime real estate section on the other. It is called the prime real estate because it will be the first thing your customers see and read, besides the mailing panel, so you need to make a good impression by placing an important message to your readers in that section.
As an example of how to use your back page effectively, consider this usage by and HVAC dealer. The owner wanted to introduce a new product- a whole house generator- to increase his profits. An article was written discussing the benefits of investing in such a generator and included a picture of the machine. It was placed on the back page, and within days of sending it back, the owner received thirteen different calls regarding the product. Since each generator sells for about $6,000, the owner earned a substantial amount of money by sharing his new product with his clients.
The back cover is not only for marketing purposes. Many companies use it as a place to make a personal connection with their customers by sharing personal stories about their life and family. By doing this, they come across as people and not just a money-seeking company. Usually these articles are written in the first person and are addressed directly to the customers through words such as "you" and "your." Your customers will enjoy this personal connection and read the rest of your newsletter, wondering what else is in store.

It's in front of Shaw Tower (building on the left) and there are always film trucks parked up and down this street - you can see them on the right. For "I, Robot", they had this are done up for weeks. The filming that dominates this area though is car commercials. I swear it's hard to see one that wasn't filmed here.
As for the underpass, I'm not really sure where that ends up.

It is possible to create thematic tourist maps and hiking trails that include the whole country, towns or smaller areas. You can mark points of interest on the map using the Navicup mobile application when you are out in the nature or the navicup.com homepage at home on a computer. When people visit an area, they download the Navicup application and enter the map which gives them an overview of the area and leads them to the places where they want to go without letting them get lost. As an added value, the administrator of the map also receives feedback and thorough statistics from the users.
1. Create a map introducing the area surrounding your land or guest house, add local legends, history, interesting facts, voices of animals or birds – this way you will give your clients enough interesting things to do and they will want to stay for another night.
2. Save a hiking trail by using the app while walking through it or mark the trail on a computer map clicking it using the mouse. Make the map more interesting by adding points of interest with their descriptions, pictures or sounds to the trail. The Navicup application helps the hiker to move along the right trail and doesn't let them get lost. When the hiker gets to a point of interest, a window with additional information will open on the screen that shows information you have inserted there. There is no need to paint trees or tie ribbons on branches in order to mark a trail nor is there any necessity to put up information boards in the nature.
*Creating your own maps without possessing any deeper knowledge about computers.
*Save points and the hiking trail by "walking" through it or you can also do it on your computer without even leaving your desk.
*The changes made on a map are visible to the users of the app in real time, which gives an important advantage compared to paper maps where making changes or correcting mistakes would mean printing out a whole new edition of the map.
*It is possible to import trails and also points from Goolge maps, it supports the kml and gps file formats.
*Local transportation in real time can be added to maps if service providers have technical readiness.
*By using your map the visitor can get to know your area, discover exciting places and "listen" to interesting local stories.
*The application leads the visitor to the places they want to go to and doesn't let them get lost.
*The users of the map can give "stars", share emotions or write feedback about points of interest.
