Can-Do Wisdom Framework for Managing Change
Aristotle on overcoming today's crisis of leadership
Posted on November 30, 2018 May 24, 2020 by Adrian Farrell
Aristotle taught his pupils about ethics, virtues and communities some 2300 years ago. Much of his teaching is still valid for overcoming today's crisis of leadership.
The crisis of leadership today is the mediocrity or irresponsibility of so many of the men and women in power, but leadership rarely rises to the full need for it . . . We fail to grasp the essence of leadership that is relevant to the modern age.
–James MacGregor Burns, author of Leadership
The disgraceful misconduct by executives and employees of banks and financial institutions uncovered by the Australian Banking Royal Commission exposes a crisis in leadership on many fronts.
Commission Kenneth Hayne concluded in his interim report that the misconduct was largely driven by greed, exhibited by "the pursuit of short-term profit at the expense of basic standards of honesty."[1]
It leads one to ask, "What's happened to ethics? Don't these so-called professionals know right from wrong?"
Much of the conduct by the banks and financial institutions was unlawful although little was done by the regulators to enforce the law adequately. The usual response by politicians is to introduce new laws but as Barry Schwartz says, making more rules is not the answer.
Commissioner Hayne agrees, saying, "The law already requires entities to 'do all things necessary to ensure' that the services they are licensed to provide are provided 'efficiently, honestly and fairly'." He says adding new laws only complicates an already complex regulatory environment.[2]
What does Aristotle tell us about ethics and leadership?
Aristotle is recognised as one of the most influential philosophical thinkers of all time. Historian Will Durant acknowledges his contribution by suggesting, "No other mind had for so long a time ruled the intellect of mankind."[3]
His writings on Ethics and Politics remain as two of his most relevant works, particularly for today's leaders and for the population at large, to help overcome the crisis of leadership.
What is Ethics?
Fundamentally, ethics refers to standards of behaviour for human beings to act in the many situations in which they find themselves. This includes the various roles we play in our lives as parents, friends, citizens, businesspeople, teachers, professionals, politicians and so on.
For Aristotle, the purpose of ethics was to achieve the ultimate purpose of human life: eudaimonia, a Greek word commonly translated as happiness. The meaning of happiness here is not just the internal emotional state as we know it, but includes the externalities of prosperity, friendships based on character, and "an unimpeded life of thought and action."[4]
This action comes about through having good traits of character or the virtues. As Aristotle stated, the highest human is activity "according to the best and most complete virtue."[5]
Virtue for the Greeks means excellence. A person of virtue is someone who performs human activities well. In Book II of the Nicomachean Ethics, the man with character excellence does the right thing, at the right time, for the right reason.[6]
Aristotle identified two kinds of virtues: thinking-related intellectual virtues and character-related moral virtues. According to philosophy professor Julia Driver, intellectual virtues are those that produce epistemic goods of value internally for oneself, such as knowledge, understanding and wisdom, while moral or ethical virtues are character traits that promote externally the flourishing or well-being in others.[7]
Aristotle meets Can-Do Wisdom
Using the Can-Do Wisdom Framework helps to show where these two kinds of virtues are positioned in relation to the I Can, I Do, We Can and We Do quadrants.
Can-Do Wisdom Framework – Relationship Domain
Aristotle refers to practical wisdom as being based on rationality. It operates in the rational domain. In the relationship domain, Aristotle considers politics in two ways: from the point of view of citizen and as a statesman. Both operate in the I Can and I Do quadrants. The role of the statesman or leader is to use this practical wisdom for the Collective—the polis or the organisation—in the We Can and We Do quadrants.
In living systems these four quadrants are interconnected by the activities of learn-live-lead for an individual and initiate-implement-institute for the collective. This change-loop pathway takes the form of an infinity symbol—a never-ending learning and change loop—as shown in the figure above.
In the individual quadrants, I Can and I Do, Learn includes the intellectual virtues, while Live includes the moral virtues, and Lead delivers change initiatives to the collective quadrants, We Can and We Do.
Whether consciously or not, we're always learning. Aristotle once said, "All men by nature desire to know."[8] He's suggesting that all human beings are born curious and that's certainly true when one observes the behaviour of infants and toddlers.
As learners we start with inquiry. It is an active process involving observation, imagination, reading, interpreting, reflecting, analysing, assessing, formulating, and articulating.[9]
The skills involved here are basically thinking skills. The character traits of a good thinker include curiosity, open-mindedness, attentiveness, intellectual autonomy, intellectual humility, and intellectual tenacity.[10]
This thinking in the I Can quadrant extends to thinking about how one should act, about how to make something, or thinking about truths. Thus, Aristotle divides intellectual virtues into two sorts: those that pertain to theoretical reasoning, and those that pertain to practical thinking.
In Book VI of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, he identifies five thinking or intellectual virtues:
Art or technical skill (techne) involves production according to proper reasoning.
Scientific knowledge (episteme) arrives at eternal truths by means of deduction or induction.
Prudence or practical wisdom (phronesis) helps us to pursue the good life generally.
Intuition (nous) helps us to grasp first principles from which we derive scientific truths.
Theoretical wisdom (sophia) is a combination of scientific knowledge and intuition, which helps us arrive at the highest truths of all.
Aristotle asserted that intellectual virtue develops primarily through teaching. It occurs most readily in the mature thinker and it takes time and experience before it emerges.[11]
Live is the link between I Can and I Do quadrants. It is the pathway for intentions in the I Can quadrant to become actions in the I Do quadrant.
Central to Greek ethics is the point that a flourishing human life will encompass virtues.[12] On the other hand, vices are seen as an obstacle to human good.[13]
Aristotle distinguishes moral virtue from intellectual virtue by the element of desire: what it is to have moral virtue is to have a disposition to desire what is good, as opposed to disposition to elicit truth for an intellectual virtue.[14]
Another difference Aristotle points out is that moral virtue owes its development in an individual to habit.
Moral or ethical virtues include, among others, justice, courage and temperance.
Each virtue is associated with two vices of excess and deficiency at the extremes. For example, we find rashness as an over-reaction to the disposition to be courageous, while cowardice is an under-reaction.
Aristotle viewed moral behaviour—character—as the mean between the two extremes:
For example, fear, confidence, appetite, anger, pity, and in general pleasure and pain can be experienced too much or too little, and in both ways not well. But to have them at the right time, about the right things, towards the right people, for the right end, and in the right way, is the mean and best; and this is the business of virtue.[15]
Table 1 – Aristotle's List of Moral Virtues[16]
Among Aristotle's list of moral virtues in Table 1 are some that we would not consider relevant today. For example, pride associated with greatness of soul is less admired than humility in Western societies. There are other virtues that, today, we would consider missing from Aristotle's list. An example would be self-sacrifice.[17]
Aristotle is careful not to come up with rules for finding the mean point. It depends on the situation. It requires practical wisdom of the intellectual virtues. How one lives, then, is modulated by practical wisdom.
Referring to the Can-Do Wisdom Framework, Lead is the pathway from the I Can quadrant of an individual to the We Can quadrant of the collective. According to renowned leadership expert, Professor Gary Yukl, the purpose of leadership is to influence others "to understand and agree about what needs to be done and how to do it, and the process of facilitating individual and collective efforts to accomplish shared objectives."[18]
It's important to realise that leadership can be shared and covers meeting of current objectives of the group or organisation as well as ensuring the organisation is prepared to meet future challenges.
These current objectives and how they are being met is critically important. This gets back to understanding the purpose, or what Aristotle referred to as the telos of the organisation, and then as to how stakeholders interests are to be met.
The misconduct of the banks and financial institutions leading up to the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and what has been exposed at the Australian Banking Royal Commission shows that the purpose of these organisations has been changed to focus on profits first. The 'how' they have gone about their business of achieving their profits has included illegal and unethical conduct.
As Schwartz noted, much of the problems relate to the use of financial incentives to achieve results.[19]
Hartman also makes the point that financial incentives drive out virtue-related incentives. He posits that individuals who focus on their compensation and not on the value they should provide or fulfill any ethical obligation to the organisation will be less productive.[20]
It's interesting to note the comment by the chairman of the National Australia Bank, Dr. Ken Henry, suggesting it could take up to ten years for the wayward culture of the bank to be fixed.[21]
In his book Politics, Aristotle refers to leaders as rulers and describes the many forms leadership can take.
Most books on Aristotle and leadership cite practical wisdom as the key. This was explored in my Barry Schwartz blog post.
The essence of leadership is to achieve the intended objectives efficiently (scientific mission), motivate and develop people (artistic mission) and pursue the common good (ethical mission).
What can we do about the banks?
The disclosures at the Banking Royal Commission highlight a failure of responsibilities by the banks and financial institutions as well as the regulators. What we've seen is irresponsible lending practices, a focus on short-term results, a disregard by executives and employees for ethics and laws, and a corporate culture characterised by self-indulgence and greed, encouraged by financial incentives. Customers are treated with disdain while the focus is on returns for shareholders.
When we talk about responsibility in the West, we tend to focus on individuals as being solely responsible for their decisions. And so, recognition and justice demands that we praise and reward good actions while we condemn and punish anti-social or evil acts. On this basis the typical business ethics program is aimed at individual employees with clear guidelines on what is acceptable and ethical behaviour.
For authors McNamee and Gergen, this focus on individuals misses the individual-community relationship when they say, "One cannot constitute meaning alone nor engage in a rational choice among competing goods without having absorbed the intelligibilities of a community."[22]
Burkitt takes this point further when he says, "To act morally and responsibly is not, therefore, to choose a course of action based on rational laws or categorical imperatives but to negotiate a way through the complexities of various relational contexts."[23]
Academic and researcher Wendelin Küpers extends this thinking to suggest that an ethics program focusing on responsibilities must go further than individuals. He maintains that an integral approach is needed for organising, managing and conducting a business responsibly. He claims "an integrated orientation and policies, which affect the day-to-day decision-making and actions of the organization at all levels, will allow a responsible sustainability to be realized."[24]
Küpers concludes his paper with a number of practical suggestions for an integral responsive based on Ken Wilber's AQAL framework.[25}
Instead of an ethics program focused solely on the individual, this approach also includes the collective. All four quadrants are used to address these issues of responsibility: individual-internal, individual-external, internal-collective and external-collective.
Mapping these quadrants to the Can-Do Wisdom framework, the approaches are summarised as follows:
I Can quadrant: Cultivation of a personal consciousness of responsibility, and virtues via meditation, contemplation, reflection, self-management.
I Do quadrant: Development of responsible practices and actions & ethical behaviour via training, coaching, knowledge, learning, competencies.
We Can quadrant: Cultivation of organisational community & culture of responsibility, via consensus-based decisions, values, norms & Personnel Development / Organization Development.
We Do quadrant: Development of systems of responsibility, via institutionalisation, rules, policy guide- lines. codices, auditing procedures, resources.
This method of analysis, the consideration of the purpose and the conclusions by Küpers is an excellent example of how Aristotle would have approached these issues based on practical wisdom.
Although Aristotle lived in different age, his writings on ethics and virtues—with some adaption to our current age—are very relevant today.

Explorations is ECE's weekly seminar targeted at undergraduate students. The seminar occurs most Wednesdays during the school year at 5 p.m. in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Building, followed by a brief reception. View this semester's schedule.
ECE Explorations introduces ECE students to new technologies, industry trends, and career opportunities in different electrical and computer engineering-related fields. Talks should be 50 minutes in length. The seminar room is equipped with a PA system and projector for showing slides.
Explorations is open to all ECE students and the general public and is required for ECE James Scholars. Typically a broad range of students attend with sophomores and juniors—the students with the greatest need for an introduction to the wider world of engineering—usually constituting the majority of the audience.
Sophomores are typically taking calculus/physics core courses, although they will have had a hands-on, four-hour introduction to ECE; most will have had one programming course. Juniors have typically completed beginning courses in circuits and computer engineering, and will be taking courses in electromagnetics and solid state devices.
Speakers should plan to describe the technologies and career opportunities for engineers in their area. For example, you could describe the breakthroughs in technology for digital television transmission, highlighting your company's products. It is inappropriate to give a recruiting talk in which the company's activities and opportunities are a major theme. It is appropriate to invite the audience to join the company representative at the post-presentation reception for specific discussion about the company and to collect resumes.
Explorations is a terrific way to get students excited about your or your company's particular applications of electrical and computer engineering. Students are still discovering the many ways in which they'll be able to apply what they learn here. Explorations helps them understand the vast opportunities that await them. Participating in this seminar is also a great way to gain name recognition and build a presence on campus as part of an overall engagement strategy.

Furthermore, the same thing applied when you choose the country later on after you select the region where you purchased the printer.
The next thing that needs to be done when everything is done, you just have to accept the terms and agreements.
Then the wizard will automatically start the installation process and you just need to wait for the process to be completed.
Things you need to do when the entire installation process is complete, then you can use the wireless features on your Canon PIXMA printer.

The Chamber Annual Meeting is a time for socializing, raising funds for the chamber, celebrating successful projects and recognizing a few individuals with special awards.
The Sleepy Eye Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting is a time for socializing, raising funds for the chamber, celebrating successful projects and recognizing a few individuals with special awards. This year's annual meeting and dinner, with nearly 150 attendees, was held Saturday, Feb. 9 at the Event Center.
Jody Hansen, Miss Sleepy Eye, spoke about her year representing the community. She also conveyed a special message of appreciation for how the business community supports youth in Sleepy Eye — which she said makes coming back to Sleepy Eye after college something she and many other young people hope to do.
The featured speaker for the evening was Karlyn Armbruster, who shared the plans and progress on the Pix building, which she and her husband Adam purchased. Armbruster showed pictures of the work done on the marquee and construction inside the building. The Pix will be home to Sleepy Eye Coffee Company and Sleepy Eye Brewing Company. Armbruster said they are hopeful they'll open for business later this summer, with the coffee shop likely to be first to open.
Three special awards were presented Saturday night. Mark Kober was presented with the Big Chief award, which recognizes the Chamber Ambassador who made the most appearances during the past year.
The Friend of Sleepy Eye Award went to Josie Rose in recognition of her work with the Sleepy Eye Food Shelf. Food shelf board member, Ann McCabe, presented the award. McCabe said Rose has served as president of the board for over 30 years and volunteers for all aspects of operating the food shelf, including food distribution on Mondays, volunteer coordination, food ordering, paper work and much more.
Honored with the Shining Star Award was Tom Goetz, First Security Bank president. Kurk Kramer, emcee for the evening, mentioned Goetz's successful effort to encourage financial support at the Sleepy Eye Medical Center's Gala and also his recent project to provide U.S. flags to business places throughout town.


Many factors influence the makeup of our personality and our station in life. Genetics, the disposition we are born with, culture, the country we live in, early childhood experiences, education, our childhood caregivers and probably even more factors. It's a complex issue to try and cipher.
I frequently hear people say, after they've talked of some horrendous early childhood trauma they experienced, "It's what made me who I am today." The context for their statement is in speaking of how they overcame the difficulties life threw their way.
At one time, I agreed with this philosophy. "Life makes you who you are" made sense to me. But then I began seeing people who experienced the same kinds of traumas but ended up with polar opposite lives.
I've met people who had abusive and neglectful parents yet they turned out to be some of the most amazing adults you would ever want to meet.
On the other hand, I've met people who had what appeared to be very loving and stable parents yet they turned out to be irresponsible, self-destructive adults.
If "life makes you who you are" is true, if the events in your life made you who you are today, how do you explain the above disparity? It certainly can't be explained by the nature of the events.
As you can imagine, they recoil from my suggestion. "Of course not!" they say.
If you are a regular reader of my blog, you know I always try to boil things down to their simplest form. Some accuse me of oversimplifying things. And perhaps I do. But I'd much rather oversimplify life than overcomplicate it.
So what do I believe makes us who we are today? I'll include all those items mentioned in my opening paragraph and then say it's how we respond to life, that's what determines where we are and where we are going in life.
The greatest tr ait that God instilled in every human being is the ability to choose, "free moral agents" the scholars call it. We can move forward both because of and in spite of life events, if we choose to.
No matter where you are in your life today, no matter where you have been in your life, you can make fundamental changes that will result in positive results.
If you've been using your past as an excuse for your lack of progress in life, stop feeling sorry for yourself. Choose today to start evolving into the best possible person you can be.

Q: @Singleton on @BindsInstance I noticed that Dagger doesn't throw an error when I put the @Singleton annotation on a @BindsInstance method. Does this annotation have any effect there considering that Dagger doesn't create these instances anyways?

A: No, the annotation doesn't have any behavioral effect: When using @BindsInstance the instance returned by the binding will always be the same with or without a scope annotation.
However, Dagger may still check that the binding marked with a scope annotation is properly installed in a matching component—that is, a component that it itself marked with the same scope annotation.

The Maltese Cross is a symbol of courage and protection. A firefighter's badge of honor, the firefighter who wears this cross is willing to lay down his life for you just as the crusaders sacrificed their lives for their fellow man so long ago.
When the Knights of St. John, a courageous band of crusaders, fought the Saracens to gain possession of the holy land, they encountered fire, a weapon unknown to the warriors of Europe. It inflicted excruciating pain and agonizing death upon the brave fighters for the cross. As the crusaders advanced towards the walls of the city, they were hit with glass bombs containing naphtha. Once they were saturated with the highly flammable liquid, the Saracens threw a flaming torch onto them. Hundreds of knights were burned to death, while others risked their lives to save their brothers-in-arms from excruciatingly painful, fiery deaths.
Thus, these men became our first courageous firefighters and they were recognized for their bravery with a badge of honor - a cross similar to the one worn by our present day firefighters. Since the Knights of St. John lived for almost four centuries on the Mediterranean island of Malta, the cross became known as the Maltese Cross.
Made in the USA, Diva-Dog's beautiful version of the Maltese Cross is hand-enameled, crafted from antiqued, lead-safe pewter.

Q: WP query is accessing posts from staging site, not main site I used WP Staging Pro to create a staging site and then move it to my live site.  It looks ok but my queried posts are bringing up the posts in the staging directory.  So here's my code for the query.
$legal_array = query_posts(array(
    'cat' => 85,
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'posts_per_page' => -1,
    'order' => 'asc',
    'orderby' => 'menu_order'
));

The post generates with https://mysite/staging/?p=3213 as the URL for the post instead of https://mysite/?p=3213 for the post.  If I add a new post on the main site, it also shows up in the query and works fine.  All of the posts migrated and the permalinks for the migrated posts are correct.  I tried trashing all the staging posts, setting all the staging posts to Draft, using wp_reset_query();, wp_reset_postdata(); and resetting the array with $legal_array = [];.  I also checked the wp_config.php file to see if anything was set to the staging URL and there was nothing.

A: First, please make sure your website is connected to the right database i.e. LIVE database on the LIVE environment.
Check your wp-config.php file for this. I suggest you, set separate configurations for each environment (development, staging, production/live, etc) according to your needs.

A: Ended up getting support from WPStaging, where they spent a few days on their end fixing the problem

We welcome all volunteers, but prioritize the publicly accessible areas with water quality data needs. The wait time may be as little as one month or up to two years.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer water quality monitor, please contact Jacob Daniel Apodaca at Jacob.Apodaca@lcra.org or 512–578–7859 or (toll-free: 800–776–5272, ext. 7859).
You will be contacted to discuss site locations, your monitoring interests, and to address any questions.
Phase I: Learn water quality monitoring methods in a hands-on classroom setting. Testing procedures will be demonstrated and trainee(s) will be guided step-by-step as they conduct the tests. Safety precautions are strongly emphasized. Approximately 2 to 3 hours in length.
Phase II: Trainees conduct water quality tests alongside a Certified Trainer in a field setting. The Trainer provides feedback and assistance while carefully observing the trainee's procedures. Approximately 2 hours in length.
Phase III: Testing is conducted by the trainee at the designated site where the volunteer will monitor water quality after becoming certified. The Certified Trainer will observe and provide limited guidance. Phase III certification usually takes 2 hours.
Each volunteer water quality monitoring program uses slightly different monitoring protocols to ensure the quality of collected data. While training by any other agency/group is valuable, the Colorado River Watch Network program requires completion of a one phase refresher course of the CRWN training. Please see the above section for instructions on how to get involved with water quality monitoring in the lower Colorado River watershed.
Christine Mulholland has been monitoring the Colorado River in La Grange since July of 2016.

Q: Find out what is taking my memory in torch7 I have written a rather complex torch application and it works quite well, that is if it doesn't run out of memory. Now I have tried to see what sort of inputs or situations cause it too seemingly randomly run out of memory but so far I have had little to no success. So now I'm looking for a way to check which variables take how much (v)ram.
I can with a simple statement switch between running my code on caffe:cuda or caffe:cl which changes whatever or not my program runs in RAM or on the GPU, I imagine that such a switch will make validating my memory usage a lot easier.
I have already tried to use print(collectgarbage("count")*1024) to check how much memory is in usage at a given point in time however this does not clearly show me where the memory is being used, perhaps because the program is relatively complex (although there are a few variables which I suspect are hugging a lot of memory, neural networks, large matrices and such).
I already know that once I have identified who is hogging my memory I can assign a nill value to it and call the garbage collector too free it.
So in short is there a program or a tool that allows me to run a torch program and then list each variable and it's memory usage?

A: I don't know if you tried google :)
But here you are:

*

*Torch7-profiling

*Neural Model profiler script

*"How to Profile a Lua Script using Pepperfish"

*Easy Lua Profiling
tbo, I've never had memory issues with Torch7 so it might be your implementation which is just not optimal. It might be a loop without collectgarbage call somewhere where it should be, e.g. in a training loop or between the epochs.


Chris Gayle scored an unbeaten 125 off 51 balls to fashion Rangpur Riders' eight -wicket win versus Khulna Titans in a Bangladesh Premier League T20 match.
Chris Gayle is warming up for the limited overs series in New Zealand with a hurricane century in a Bangladesh Premier League match in Dhaka on Friday. The left-handed West Indian master blaster smashed a 45-ball century as he tore the Khulna Titans attack to shreds.
Chris Gayle's unbeaten 126 off just 51 balls helped Rangpur Riders score an emphatic eight-wicket victory in the T20 cricket championship that sees several international players in action. Lasith Malinga is playing for Rangpur Riders this season.
Chasing Khulna Titans' 167 for six wickets in 20 overs, Rangpur Riders rode Gayle's 14 sixes and six fours to cruise home in 15.2 overs and with eight wickets to spare. Gayle's century was the first in BPL this season.
"Still feeling fresh. Happy with the win; was an important game for us. This is the time you step up and take the momentum to the final. It's about momentum when you're batting as well. That's a very good wicket – the best in Dhaka. The pressure was there but good partnership with (Mohammad) Mithun. You always want someone in the top three to bat deep," 38-year-old Gayle said after the match.
Gayle, who broke his own record of sixes in BPL -- he had smashed 12 sixes for Dhaka Gladiators in 2013 -- scored his 19th T20 century overall. Friday's 126 is also the best ever innings in Bangladesh Premier League.
The Jamaican, who is not part of the West Indian Test squad now playing New Zealand, will assist the Caribbeans in the ODI and T20 series against the Kiwis. The first ODI is scheduled in Whangarei on December 20.

The village featured is Shere in Surrey. It has hardly changed at all, including the square near the pub and the shop where he acquires the radio.
When Jeff Nolan first arrives at the village he takes out what appears to be a bolt action Enfield P14 / M17 rifle, later in the film this turns into a semi automatic 30-06 Garand rifle.
Peggy Hatton: Do you know what's happened?
Jeff Nolan: No I don't. I took a plane up this morning for a shakedown flight and when I went up everything was normal. When I came down, everyone was dead. I drove all day. You're the first folks I've seen alive.
Edited from Village of the Damned (1960)
Starts off well, but ends up being disappointing
The first few minutes of "The Earth Dies Screaming" are very promising. There is an eerie silence showing how most of humanity has been wiped out, right at the beginning. (It also helps that the movie was shot in black and white - I find apocalypse movies that have been shot in black and white more effective than those shot in color.) As the characters are introduced, they are promised to be a colorful bunch.
But after this promising beginning, the movie starts to fall apart. We never learn why the invaders attacked Earth, nor do we learn much about them. In fact, the robots are treated very casually at times by the characters! In fact, the movie feels too casual elsewhere; although this is a '60s movie, it feels more like one of those innocent '50s sci-fi movies; there is a dated feel to this movie. The ending feels unfinished; since the movie runs only about an hour, surely they could have come up with a more concrete ending had they extended things.
It's not a TERRIBLE movie, but it's disappointing - you'll see the wasted potential.

2018.11.16 Framing the Beauty of Nature in a Pot
Exploring setouchi #23
It all started about 200 years ago when wild pine trees were first potted and sold as "bonsai". Now, Kagawa Prefecture has become famous for the production of pine bonsai. During the 2016 Setouchi Triennale, bonsai craftsmen and artists inspired by "bonsai" captured the beauty and charm of this art form in a collaborative exhibition held near the shores of Megijima Island.

The Kinashi and Kokubunji regions on the west side of Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture, are known as the birthplace of bonsai, and have the top share of the national market, producing over 80 percent of the pine bonsai in Japan. These bonsai are loved the world over, and are exported internationally to Europe and Asia.
The Kinashi and Kokubunji regions have a unique way of growing bonsai. Bonsai craftsmen raise bonsai from seedlings, and care for them over many years. Only in these regions will you find rows of pine trees of all shapes and sizes planted in the fields instead of vegetables. Currently, there are about 60 bonsai gardens operating in Kinashi and Kokubunji. I visited one of these gardens, "Hiramatsu Seijuen bonsai garden" in Kokubunji, to speak with its owner, Kiyoshi Hiramatsu.
Mr. Hiramatsu explained to me that pine bonsai were first produced in the Kokubunji region around 1887. At that time, the main agricultural crops were rice and wheat, but pine, plum and cherry tree saplings were grown as well. With the granite in the surrounding mountains contributing to good soil drainage, and the lack of rain in the Seto Inland Sea region, growers were able to produce small pines with comparatively thick trunks, which are ideal for bonsai. These pines were potted and shaped into bonsai works of art. Also, a rare variety of Japanese black pine, the Nishiki Pine, which can be found growing in the mountains of this region, fascinated people with the way its bark cracked and split into wing-like shapes, resulting in a bonsai boom that lasted up until the 1980s. During this time, pioneers who were passionately involved in bonsai production in the Kinashi and Kokubunji regions developed a variety of techniques that would become fundamental to the art form as it is known today. In this way, Kinashi and Kokubunji developed into bonsai producing regions.
Mr. Hiramatsu is a third generation bonsai craftsman. Mr. Hiramatsu, who was born in 1949, remembers using the pines growing on the nearby mountains for firewood. Pine was prized for its slow burning properties, and the stumps that remained after the trees were cut for firewood were ideal for bonsai. Mr. Hiramatsu's grandfather started the bonsai garden while working a variety of jobs to make a living, followed by his father, who also became a professional bonsai craftsmen. For Mr. Hiramatsu, inheriting the garden, which had been in his family for three generations, felt like the natural thing to do. Before Mr. Hiramatsu graduated from high school, his father sadly passed away. Prior to his passing, however, his father told him, "I want you and your older brother to take over the bonsai garden". Mr. Hiramatsu took his father's parting words to heart, and followed in his footsteps to become a bonsai craftsman.
In the world of bonsai, there are craftsmen who specialize in raising saplings, while others excel at training and shaping the trees. Mr. Hiramatsu's expertise is the art of training bonsai. "Training" a bonsai involves pruning and using wires to guide a potted pine tree into a desired shape.
The way in which bonsai are grown differs depending on the species of the tree, but there are certain steps that apply to all varieties of bonsai. For example, in spring before the trees begin to bud, they are replanted and neatly pruned. In June, old buds are trimmed to encourage the sprouting of new buds. When I visited Mr. Hiramatsu in October, the season for removing old leaves, he was caring for a black pine over 100 years old.
"This black pine will be displayed in a bonsai exhibition. Ideally, all the needles should be growing upwards, so I am carefully removing any needles that have turned brown or are facing downwards with these tweezers", Mr. Hiramatsu explained.
In the center of his work space, I saw a Yamagaki bonsai (a type of Japanese persimmon tree) adorned with a single red berry.
"I raised this one from a seed and shaped it into a bonsai. While it was still small, I used wire to curve its trunk and stretch it to the side. At first, I thought it would be nice for it to have around three berries, but because its trunk is thin, I decided that only one berry would be better. I have been growing this bonsai while keeping in mind the shape of the tree, the number of berries, and so on."
Talking with Mr. Hiramatsu, I truly feel that bonsai craftsmen are creating the beauty of nature itself.
Outside in the garden, a variety of bonsai, big and small, are lined up in rows.
"Bonsai with berries, like the Yamagaki permission, grow faster compared to other trees, so I've raised them from seeds before. But there are also many bonsai that have been passed down from generation to generation. There is even a black pine that is thought to be over 200 years old."
Saying this, Mr. Hiramatsu showed me a black pine bonsai with a winding trunk that grew off to the side. The pine needles on the tip of its longest branches stretched below the bottom of its pot. I could tell that it had been alive for many years by the way its trunk had turned white near the roots.
Even though the base of the tree appeared to be dying, its black trunk and bright green needles appeared full of life and vitality. Looking at this tree, I realized that with time, effort and careful pruning, bonsai can live for a very long time.
I asked Mr. Hiramatsu, who spends every day busily pruning his bonsai, to tell me what attracts him to the art.
"It's important to keep a close eye on the condition of the tree, and make decisions based on what you see. Take watering for an example. They say it's best to water once a day in the spring, and twice a day in the summer. But if the soil is moist, that means the tree isn't thirsty. In that case, it's best not to water it. There is an important lesson to be learned in creating bonsai. Caring for the trees, I've often felt that bonsai teaches us about life."
The Setouchi Triennale has always strived to discover the charms of the islands and develop site-specific artworks that "utilize what already exists to create new value". The 2019 Triennale will be better than ever with the addition of various special projects. One theme for these projects is "Setouchi Resources x Artists". Focusing on specialty products of the Seto Inland Sea, artists will develop experiential works that will allow visitors to delve deeper into life on the islands.
"BONSAI x Setouchi Resources x Artists" is an example of this kind of project. I will be looking forward to seeing what comes from the collaboration between artists and the local products of the Seto Inland Sea.


Around 20 parents crowded into Kamalani Academy's office space in Aiea and formed a line out the door during the school's governing board meeting on Tuesday to air concerns about the school's principal, the teaching qualifications of the staff, and issues surrounding communication and safety at the school.
"Kamalani has changed. It's in a deeply understaffed crisis with no sense of structure or unity," said Courtney Pascua, a Kamalani parent who pulled her child out of the school last week.
Parents line up to speak during Kamalani's board meeting on Tuesday. Many came to voice concern about the current principal.
The K-8 charter school opened in Wahiawa in 2017 with an enrollment of 311 students and a curriculum plan that focused on melding arts and Hawaiian culture into standard school subjects. Civil Beat chronicled the school's first year in the podcast series On Campus.
Kamalani's founding principal resigned last summer, after a challenging first year that saw the loss of at least seven teachers and staff members — nearly half the staff — and low morale among those who remained. The school also struggled in its first year with teacher training and identifying the governing board's role in the day-to-day operations of the school.
The school's governing board named Kamalani's former student services coordinator, Amanda Langston, as interim principal on July 2, and expressed confidence that staffing challenges would be resolved moving into the new school year.
But parents say 10 teachers and support staff have left Kamalani since Langston took the helm. Langston was unable to confirm the exact number of departures with Civil Beat, but said she thought it was lower.
Several parents and students at the meeting expressed support for the current administration, but the conversation quickly turned to testimony from one frustrated parent after another on issues ranging from a lack of communication about bullying to student injuries during school hours, and even a tearful apology from a teacher.
"Why is building trust with my student important, but building trust with me neglected?" said Kamalani parent Casey Schmidt.
Parents and teachers at the school also appear perplexed at the decline in the arts-integration curriculum and focus at the school. Last year, the school joined the prestigious Kennedy Center's Partner in Education program that provides support and teacher training for school arts programs.
Rae Takemoto, an arts integration educator who founded Pomaika'i Elementary on Maui, helped build Kamalani's vision for arts integration as a consultant. She retired this year, but is concerned that the school is not going through with its plans for arts integration professional development with the Kennedy Center teaching artists.
"Arts integration involves training teachers," she said.
Kamalani founder Ku'uipo Laumatia said teachers at Kamalani are being given the proper amount of arts integration professional development through additional partnerships with Native Hawaiian teaching grants.
But the loss of the school's arts integration curriculum coordinator, Patricia Massoth, was troubling to Takemoto and Kamalani parents. Kamalani replaced Massoth with a curriculum coordinator with no arts integration background.
Kamalani parent Desiree Rose said the school has repeatedly failed to inform parents of big changes at the school. The growing number of teachers with very little teaching experience or teaching certifications is also troubling to her. Though not unique to schools in Hawaii, several of Kamalani's teachers have no teaching license or are on emergency hire contracts.
As a result, Rose is considering pulling her daughter from Kamalani and re-enrolling her at their old DOE school where the learning style was much more rigid.
Kamalani parent Desiree Rose addresses the governing board on Tuesday. Rose says she's considering pulling her kids out of the school.
"I'm asking myself, do I go back to that model where only the left brain is honored and developed, or do I stay and ride out the chaos at Kamalani," she said in a text.
Some parents came to Tuesday's meeting just to voice concerns about the principal's lack of administrative experience. Langston has 10 years of teaching experience, but never worked as an administrator or principal before coming to Kamalani.
The governing board said in July that it was appointing Langston on an interim basis and would launch a search for a new principal, but never did.
Laumatia said that Langston's accomplishments during her short time at Kamalani were incredible.
"We really support her," she said.
But Laumatia acknowledged that communication from administration to the parents was still a problem the school is working to address.
At the end of Tuesday's meeting, the governing board unanimously approved Langston as permanent principal to shouts of dismay from the few parents who stuck around after public comment ended. "Is she even qualified?" Stephanie Safholm, a Kamalani parent said.
Steve Davidson, vice chair of the governing board, said he thinks many of the complaints against Langston are unfounded.
"If we didn't appoint (Langston), half the people would be unhappy. You can't please all the people all the time," he said.
Davidson presented a lengthy document at the meeting detailing Langston's achievements. "I wrote that statement. I truly believe it. The best person for the job, is on the job," he said.
Langston, reached by phone while boarding a flight back to Oahu from an education conference in Nevada, said she thought the meeting went well, despite the many concerns aimed at her. "Everyone has a right to their own opinions," she said.

The Saint Adalbert Roman Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic church  at 52-29 83rd Street in Elmhurst, Queens, New York. It was founded in November 1892 primarily to serve immigrants from Poland who settled in the areas of Elmhurst, Maspeth and neighboring villages.

History

The Church
The first parishioners of the church were initially served by priests who are speakers of the Polish language and of priests of Polish descent since 1891. The first was Father Joseph Fyda. Father Fyda was succeeded by Reverend Monsignor Boleslaus Puchalski. Other priests who served the church included Reverend Doctor Adalbert Nawrocki and Monsignor Wiadyslaw Manka. The parish was transferred to the management of Franciscan Friars Minor Conventual in 1906.   It still has staff who speak Polish despite of its diverse parishioners at present.

The church's current structure was built in 1947.

The School
There is also St. Adalbert Catholic Academy, which was established in 1892 and was also run by the church, until it was taken over by the Diocese of Brooklyn and became a Catholic Academy.

Since Proposition 36 was passed by voters in November 2012, the harshness of California's "Three Strikes Law" has been slightly reduced. The harshest consequences of the three strikes law were softened, and it is only possible to receive a sentence of 25-years-to-life as a repeat offender if the charged person's third offense is deemed to be a "violent felony" or "serious felony". However, a California court recently determined past offender Timothy Wayne Johnson to be a "third striker," despite the fact that his third offense was not considered a "serious felony" at the time of his conviction. This means he was given a sentence with the harshness of "three strikes and you're out" because his third offense became a "serious felony" years after his conviction.
Timothy Wayne Johnson's case is unusual regarding the changes made to California's Three Strikes Law for a couple of reasons. In 1998, Mr. Johnson was convicted of two counts of attempting to dissuade a witness in violation of section 136.1. At the time of his conviction, violating section 136.1 was not legally defined in California court as either a serious or violent felony on grounds of the Three Strike Law. In 1998, the old Three Strikes Law applied to any felony conviction, whether or not it was serious or violent. For this reason, Johnson was given third strike sentence and 28-years-to-life. Once the new third strikes law was passed in 2012, Johnson's third offense would not have landed him a third strike sentence because his conviction was non-violent and not considered serious at the original time of his conviction. However, dissuading a witness was later added to section 1192.7's serious felony list in 2010, which ended up ruling poorly in Johnson's favor.
When Johnson tried to appeal his lengthy, third strike sentence, California court ruled to leave his sentence unchanged because under current law, dissuading a witness is a "serious felony," and therefore would deserve a third strike sentence, regardless of the law at the time of his conviction. While the Third Strike Law in California has been adjusted to be less harsh on third time offenders who commit non-violent or non-serious felonies, Johnson did not benefit from the change in the third strike law due to the fact that the current list of serious felonies includes his crime.

Commissioner for trade and commerce, Mr. Christian Madubuko, who briefed journalists on Monday while parading three persons including a traditional chief who were arrested for extorting from traders using fake receipts, said the suspects would also be handed over to the police who would, in turn, charge them to court for prosecution.
Madubuko confirmed that about 100 persons have so far been arrested in the state for the offense and that his office would not relent until all fake revenue agents were cleared from the state.
"Go to the Niger Bridgehead in Onitsha, once you enter the state from Asaba, they start harassing you with all manner taxes, and that does not tell good of our state. This must stop. We are handing these suspects over to the police who will charge them to court," he said.
Madubuko said, "They are enemies of the state government. The government has banned toll collections and yet they are collecting money from people. They are living on extorting money from people. They extort money from traders coming to do business in the state and those doing business in the state. Sometimes they present all kinds of documents authorizing them to carry out their illegal activities.
