At Kinesis, we're often asked about talent, recruitment, and the importance of marketing when it comes to building a great workplace – since we believe that HR and marketing are inherently related.
The fact is, employers today face a shrinking talent pool and a low unemployment rate (which means that there aren't many people searching for positions). As a result, many companies are facing mounting recruitment challenges: Last year, 38% of employers reported experiencing difficulties filling job vacancies – a 2% increase since 2014. And this trend will only continue as more Baby Boomers reaching retirement age – with an astonishing 10,000 Baby Boomers retiring every day according to Pew Research.
Even the largest, most sophisticated companies – the ones flush with resources to invest in their recruitment and talent management strategies – report that attracting, developing and retaining top talent is among the most formidable challenges to achieving organizational growth.
Hiring and nurturing A-players the right way isn't a matter of luck; it requires a recruiting and hiring process that consistently attracts great people whose skills and personalities align with your company's core values and mission.
So, how can your organization compete for skilled talent?
Your ideal candidate probably already has a job. Let's face it, on the whole high performers are much more likely to be gainfully employed. Particularly in the current low unemployment job market, A-players are not often out looking for jobs… and getting their attention means giving them an ironclad, surefire reason to leave a position in which they might very well be currently content.
To attract great people, you have to know what they're looking for. So what would draw an otherwise satisfied candidate toward your company? If you answered money, you'd be wrong. In his book Drive, Daniel Pink asserts that human need can be boiled down to three desires: mastery, autonomy, and purpose. Top talent wants interesting work that stimulates and challenges them. They want opportunities for career advancement within your organization with clear paths to promotions. And, they want to know that their daily activities are contributing towards a greater purpose (this is where your mission, values, and vision come in).
Attracting talent is marketing. Historically, finding new employees has been deemed an HR function… and finding new clients a marketing and sales function. But at Kinesis, we believe they are kissing cousins. Recruiting, hiring, onboarding, and retention are marketing activities that develop and nurture relationships with your candidates and employees… the same way you might think of marketing to develop and nurture relationships with prospective clients.
Click here to download the full Candidate's Journey!
Candidates – especially the best of the best – have changed the way they look for jobs. As we know, they are likely already employed and mostly content in their current position. Which means that in the early stage of their job search, the only reason that they will apply for an available position at your company is if you grab their attention.
And what do they want? Intriguing work, learning opportunities, some flexibility in their working environment, a bit of fun, and fantastic, passionate, engaged people as teammates.
Leverage social media to attract talent: It's no secret that LinkedIn is an important place to fly open positions and connect with potential talent. But when it comes to showing off your culture, consider adding Facebook to your recruiting toolkit. You can post new job positions, fun videos, blog posts, updates about things your employees do together, and photos that showcase your team and workplace.
Encourage your employees to recruit other great people they know: Like begets like. Your employees can tell their professional friends what it's like to work at your company as your best brand ambassadors. And, what's even better, they know what makes a right-fit team member because they are one.
Build a website that appeals to candidates: Your website must look and feel up-to-date and personal to impress your potential new hires. They expect modern design, and responsiveness to their mobile devices. In short, your website needs to be better than your competitors (you're competing for the same talent, after all).
Create an online Career Center: This doesn't have to be overly complex, but having a page that allows people to download job descriptions and upload resumes can be a huge boon to attracting twentysomething tech-savvy employees. In your Career Center, briefly describe your values and show photography of your workspace (or point to your Facebook page).
Ever read a job description that grabs you by the seat of your pants and makes you think, "My god… I want to be a part of this"?
No? In all likelihood, neither have your prospective employees. Well-written, compelling job descriptions are sometimes hard to find for candidates seeking fulfillment… which, fortunately for most small businesses, means that a well-worded employment opportunity could be a big differentiator.
Create job descriptions that attract candidates: In particular, highlight your values, mission, and vision. You want to hire people who align with these so they will be a natural fit within your culture and feel a sense of purpose. Here's an example of a position we're hiring at Kinesis.
Create a recruiting video: Film your employees telling the story of what it's like to work at your company, or hire a videographer to document your next team outing. Done well, this can dramatically improve a prospect's interest in your company. You can also showcase your workplace environment and cultural camaraderie.
The candidate will then begin a journey in which they ask their colleagues about you. They will review social media sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, and GlassDoor to get insight into your culture. They will go over your website with a fine tooth comb and read your blog posts. And they will find some of your current employees from online profiles and invite them out to coffee to conduct an informational interview (aka: get the insider scoop).
In other words, your top candidates will be vetting you long before they apply for a position with your company. And once they go through their vetting process and decide your company is worthy of their attention – then (and only then) will they apply for the job that interests them.
The right talent is the single most important driver of your organizational performance. Hiring the best of the best will propel your organization to new heights… all you need is the right marketing strategy.

Creativity key to offseason growth for Miami's Seth Hoffman
Zachary Holden
Bucyrus Telegraph-Forum
OXFORD - Seth Hoffman was primed to have a great outdoor season with the Miami University track and field program.
After an impressive freshman year that saw him compete in the hammer throw at six meets, the 2017 Wynford graduate placed third (163-5) at the Miami Duals then was sixth at the MAC Championships with a season-best 169-0.
He struggled with an injury most of sophomore year and saw his placing at the MAC Championships slip down to eighth, but did manage to throw 172-11 at Indiana's Billy Hayes Invitational the week before the conference meet.
Then, Hoffman received word from the NCAA that he wouldn't get a chance to compete in the spring due to safety concerns for the coronavirus pandemic.
The news came just eight days before the season was set to begin with his home meet, the Blizzard Buster.
"It all hit pretty fast," Hoffman said. "At Miami, I didn't compete indoor this year, so I was just training for outdoor to have a good season there. We were I think a week away from our first outdoor meet when this all happened. I'm used to always having a good schedule, having practice and class, so not having all that is weird for me. Missing the season is a big disappointment, I was looking to have a great year after kind of a down year last year from nagging injuries."
The COVID-19 pandemic may have taken Hoffman's spring season away, but it was worse for some of his closest teammates whose careers can to an abrupt and unexpected end.
"I really felt bad for our seniors, I had a lot of friends that were going to graduate this year, some came back for a fifth year so they could do track another year," Hoffman said. "I know they get another year of eligibility back, but a lot of them, that's not in the cards. They have to graduate on time and some of them have jobs lined up and can't come back.
"The week leading up to that moment we knew there was a chance, but we didn't think it would happen so early. I know it's the right choice they made to cancel the season, but it's still disappointing nonetheless."
As disappointing as losing his spring season is, Hoffman said he doesn't regret not competing in indoor this year because it wound up benefiting his body.
"At Miami, because of Title IX, we don't have a men's indoor team, but we're allowed to compete in two or three meets," Hoffman said. "It didn't really matter much for indoor aside from maybe going to two of those meets, but it was more to stay away from the weight throw which caused me a lot of back pain.
"You throw the same way as the hammer, but it's made for indoor so instead of a 16-pound ball it's a 32-pound ball and it's a lot shorter. It's a lot more stress on the body throwing it."
He was using the winter to focus on perfecting his technique and getting stronger to directly translate into a big junior year.
"That was the goal," Hoffman said. "Last year, the week before the season I was having probably the best week of practice I've ever had in my life, then I had a little spill in the ring and hurt my back. Your back is pretty important in the hammer throw and I've been dealing with that since.
"Freshman year, I came in as a walk-on and had thrown hammer two times in high school before that, had a pretty successful freshman year and placed at the MAC.I say last year was a down year because I didn't reach the goals I wanted to reach, but I still placed at the MAC meet again.
"As a walk-on, I'm proud of that."
Unlike most, the adjustment to schooling at home was actually a relatively seamless one for the sports leadership and management major, business minor.
"This semester I already had two online classes, so the transition wasn't as bad," Hoffman said. "My three other classes transitioned to online, but I'm pretty good at staying on top of things. The transition hasn't been too bad, I know some of my friends, they had a bad transition because their professors upped their load a lot.
"I was lucky to get a lot of really understanding professors who know what's going on and they pretty much made their class the same. I haven't had too bad of a time with it."
His focus has now shifted to making his senior year the best it can possibly be despite not having quite the ideal setup at home.
"It's pretty hard considering a lot of my training is weight training," Hoffman said. "I don't really have a home gym and all of the gyms and high schools I'd train at are all closed, so I'm doing a lot of bodyweight stuff right now — squats, push-ups, sit-ups — I would say I'm more trying to maintain right now than gain muscle.
"Throwing-wise, usually when I'm home I go up to Tiffin University to throw, but all the universities are closed down so I can't go throw there. I actually throw off my grandpa's blacktop driveway into a corn field; I brought a couple hammers home."
While he balances somewhat unconventional training and school work, Hoffman said it has been nice being able to spend more time with his family than he normally would be able to this time of year.
"It's like I had all this free time I was never used to having before," Hoffman said. "It's weird not having a routine to do every day. I've been doing a lot of home projects at home with my dad."
While he will receive an extra year of eligibility granted by the NCAA, Hoffman doesn't think he'll take it because it would affect graduating on time and potential job hunting. Unless he decides to pursue a master's degree, spring 2021 will be his last year.
"I want to be top-3 in the MAC and compete for one of those spots up there, that would be my main goal," Hoffman said. "Then hopefully hit 60 meters (196-85) in the hammer, that's my overall goal."

Build Season
About FIRST Power Up
Point Values
Pirate Robotics hosted a local kickoff event in which several teams from the area gathered to watch the live unveiling of the season's game and rules.
The 2018 FIRST Power Up game consists of two three-
team alliances whose robots must work together to defeat
the boss. This is done by collecting Power Cubes and placing
them on the Switches and Scale in order for them to be tipped towards the
team's side. Robots can also bring the Power Cubes to its human players through a
window in which the Cubes can then be placed in a vault to activate4d2 Power Ups. Power Ups
can help an alliance gain points more quickly and include:
Force - Alliance gains control of the Switch, Scale, or both for a limited period of time
Boost - Doubles the point receiving rate for a limited period of time
Levitate - Robot receives a free climb
For the first 15 seconds of the game, all robots run on their own. If a robot crosses the Auto Line during this period, its alliance earns points. During the final 30 seconds of the game, robots who climb the scale at least 12 inches above the ground receive points. The alliance with the most points wins!
Teleoperated
Kickoff, Build Season, Competitions, Etc.
Pirate Robotics had a busy six week build season. The build and programming teams were in charge of creating the robot while the marketing team prepared for awards and designed the team's t-shirts, buttons, safety manuals, etc.
After months of hard work, the team finished building the robot and preparing for competition. The robot was built to fulfill the needs of the team's strategy - fill the vault and use the Power Ups.
Miami Valley Regional
After several practice matches, our robot stood out as a strong vault bot. By the end of the qualification matches, team 6032 was in 45th place with a win-loss record of 4 - 5, but we were 2nd place in total vault points. We were selected as the 7th pick for the playoffs! Our alliance was team 3777 (Bean City Bots) and team 4085 (Technical Difficulties). Our team did an excellent job filling the vault but our alliance was eliminated during the first round of the playoffs.
The marketing team did a great job with scouting and showing our Chairman's presentation. According to one judge, the presentation was "Tremendous."
Pittsburgh Regional
The team had an amazing experience at the Pittsburgh Regional. After the qualification matches, we were ranked the number one vault bot. During alliance selections, team 303 (T.E.S.T. team) and team 4027 (Centre County 4H Robotics) chose us for their alliance. We finished the finals with a 6 - 1 record and won the competition. This qualified us for the 2018 FIRST Championships in Detroit, Michigan. Go Pirates!
We competed in the Curie division. Although we ended qualifications with a record of 2-8 and an overall ranking of 66, we were ranked third in total vault points (out of 67 teams).
Beyond the statistics and match analysis, attending Worlds was also an opportunity for our team to celebrate everything we have accomplished throughout the season and embrace the values of FIRST. Our team re-connected with friends such as 4028 (The Beak Squad), 303 (T.E.S.T. team), 302 (The Dragons), and 4027 (Centre County 4-H Robotics). By the way, 4027 was on our winning alliance in Pittsburgh, and they went on to WIN the World Championship!!! We were inspired by everything we saw at Worlds and we are energized for next year. What an exciting event!

Tampa needs its own Marshall Plan
Europe 1945 – The Marshall Plan
Sad to say, much of downtown Tampa looks like Berlin in 1945 after the Red Army had shelled it with heavy artillery, tank guns, heavy mortars, machine guns, constant aircraft bombing, and the Soviet invasion under the command of General Zhukhov. Besides Berlin, the rest Europe was a junkyard and burned-out disaster. General George C. Marshall, Jr. came up with the idea of loaning the crumbling remnants of Europe the money to begin rebuilding itself, most likely to slow down or stop the remaining civilian survivors of WW-2 from trying to emigrate to the USA.
Tampa's Problem
Much vacant property with dirt, weeds, and/or broken concrete slabs greet visitors and out-of-town event attendees at the Ice Palace or Downtown Tampa conventions. It would seem we could do better, especially considering the massive amount of money collected in property and sales tax by the State and County governments. Where does all this money go? We have noted in previous articles that a few years ago Hillsborough County Government had somewhere around $500,000,000 or more in leftover Capital Project funds [yes, 500 MILLION dollars] which it just made disappear, thanks to the Financial Expert, Eric Johnson and, of course, Mike Merrill, now County Administrator. It's not like the County Government is so broke they can't pay attention, is it? Too many buddies,,,,,,………
Clearwater, Lakeland, and St. Petersburg
These cities, especially St. Petersburg, have worked aggressively to clean up and either restore or rebuild their downtown areas. Compare this with the old Tampa Woolworth block which has been vacant for nearly 25 years. Or look at the North Franklin Street area……an abandoned mess. Clearwater has been working on its downtown for years, So has St. Pete. St. Pete's South Side has a way to go, but the Mound Park area has the hospital now, and the area just south of 6th Avenue S. has been utterly transformed by USF into a new "university city," which replaced vacant lots, abandoned homes, crumbling old businesses, machine shops [anyone remember Die Polder Electric and Machine Shop ?] and other abandoned buildings [like Aunt Hatties].
So What's Tampa's Problem ?
Tampa has several hereditary problems, such as:
a) Crime, especially in Ybor City, which isn't safe after 10 pm. Too many bars which cater to drunken teenagers are driving out the restaurants and small businesses which cater to regular people. Many shop fronts are vacant. Not a good situation. Police Chief Castor may need some help with this one. How about a few extra County Sheriff's Deputies in Ybor to assist after 10 pm?
b) Homeless, all over Downtown at night…….the homeless will always be with us, especially in the face of the economic reality which we have right now, contrary to the large chunks of horse crap flowing out of Washington and the TV. You can't make the homeless just go away and hide in the woods of Eastern Hillsborough County. We see them every day and give them either water, money, or both. They need a couple of their own free campgrounds outside of the Tampa City Limits.
c) Too many inbred buddies getting their fingers into the money pit of Hillsborough County Government. This causes politicians to get cash envelopes in order to continue the established kickback system and ignore items like infrastructure, water mains, streets, roads, you name it. [We have seen this personally…] For example, just before the 2012 elections, many city streets in East Tampa were paved and/or reconstructed after 50++ years of neglect. These property owners have paid their property taxes for years and years….why did it take a Republican Convention in an election year to get the work done? [Yes, we know this is City of Tampa territory, but the County Government helps the City out financially when there is a great need, unless Eric Johnson has hidden the cash somewhere.]
How to fix it ?
Perhaps the County Commission should be in contact with State Reps Betty Reed and Dana Young (and maybe even Jim "Junkers" Norman would help?] to get the State Legislature to pass a bill allowing a small sales and property "tax free" zone or zones for a 5 year period to attract retail, business, and real estate developers to the abandoned areas of Downtown? At this point, nearly anything would help. Encourage USF to use the vacant land available (and possibly already in possession of the County Government) to continue USF's Downtown expansion program. Encore Tampa [near the privately-restored Union Station, now owned by the City Parks Dept.] is a good start, but there are no tenants which are visible, and it needs a kick to get it going. Maybe in the 2014 elections, we need to clean up the political mess which has produced this buddy kickback system and made Tampa into a Third World city. Centro Ybor is essentially bankrupt, and has been taken over by the City. Even the Channelside area is going bankrupt now, including the cinemas. Tampa's Downtown is just plainly and simply a bunch of donkey droppings. Tampa looks like Jakarta or Tashkent…….but then we insult those cities. Sorry………
Which big company has its own farm land to produce their own products?

Adam Villacin
Welcome to 1999 Movies Week, a celebration of one of the best years in film history. Throughout the week, The Ringer will highlight some of the year's best, most interesting films, and in this series, make the case for why a specific movie deserves to be called that year's best. Next up is Michael Mann's tense thriller The Insider.
In November 1999, I went to see Michael Mann's The Insider in Boston. I sat in the dark for almost three hours, watching Mann's account of 60 Minutes producer Lowell Bergman's efforts to bring the story of tobacco industry whistleblower Dr. Jeffrey Wigand to television screens. I walked out of the theater into what was apparently, according to Weather Underground's archives, a windy 40-degree Massachusetts day, and then I almost certainly lit a Camel Light, because that is what I did every time I left a movie theater from about 1998 to 2010.
Starring Russell Crowe as Wigand and Al Pacino as Bergman, The Insider is a procedural that would sit nicely in a Netflix carousel next to The China Syndrome, All the President's Men, Silkwood, and A Civil Action, and subsequent films like Erin Brockovich and Spotlight. These are movies (usually based on true stories) that reckon with righting the scales of justice, the dogged pursuit of the truth, and the public's right to know about what institutions—corporate, governmental, or otherwise—are doing behind their backs. The fact that I lit up immediately after seeing a movie about how the tobacco industry engineered cigarettes to create a "nicotine delivery business," in Wigand's words, does not mean that The Insider somehow failed in getting its point across. It is about a lot of things, but the dangers of smoking is pretty low on the list.
The 50 Best Movies of 1999, Part 1
Coming off the modest domestic success of Heat (a movie which has since been canonized at The Ringer), working from a ripped-from-the-headlines screenplay cowritten with Eric Roth (based on Marie Brenner's 1996 Vanity Fair article), and featuring two of the biggest movie stars in the world (Crowe was coming off L.A. Confidential and would go on to make Gladiator and A Beautiful Mind in the subsequent years) topping his cast, Mann had the leverage to make a blow-by-blow of Wigand's seduction and betrayal. But he still had to figure out how to tell the story. Where Heat and The Last of the Mohicans had depicted panoramic landscapes, The Insider was a movie concerned with intense conversation and contemplation.
The Insider begins with a moment that would be the climax in any other film of its ilk. We meet Wigand after his split from the tobacco giant Brown & Williamson. He has been fired after clashing with higher-ups at the company over the use of ammonia chemistry—a process which essentially enhances nicotine's effects on the body. Maybe he's already decided to blow the whistle on the company, either as an act of vengeance or of decency. It's hard to tell with Wigand.
Enter Bergman, who helps Wigand realize this compulsion to speak, for better or for worse. Bergman, along with his longtime correspondent Mike Wallace (played by Christopher Plummer), produces a segment on big tobacco for 60 Minutes, featuring an explosive interview with Wigand in which he accuses the head of Brown & Williamson of perjuring himself before Congress. In order to get around Wigand's nondisclosure agreement, Bergman also orchestrates Wigand's testimony in a Mississippi court, as part of the state's suit against the tobacco industry. However, when it comes time to air the 60 Minutes segment, CBS corporate gets involved, nixing the broadcast of the interview. Bergman accuses the likes of Wallace, 60 Minutes creator Don Hewitt, and others at the company of caving in the face of a possible sale of the network to the Westinghouse Corporation. The last hour of the movie follows Bergman's efforts to force CBS to air the interview, while keeping Wigand from going off the deep end.
The Insider is an issue movie, and a journalism movie, and one scene of an absolutely gangbusters courtroom drama, but really, it's a Michael Mann movie, which means it's a heist movie. It's about the strictures put around the truth, and how one goes about unlocking it. Four years earlier, Pacino had costarred in Heat, playing a detective hunting down his criminal counterpart, a master thief played by Robert De Niro. In The Insider, Pacino is the burglar, trying to prise something free from Crowe's grasp.
The performances of the two leads offer a great study in contrast. Pacino is outrageously good, screaming about ethics in journalism with his "SHE'S GOT A GREAT ASS" voice. As Bergman, he spends a lot of time espousing the moral and institutional superiority of 60 Minutes, name-dropping the Frankfurt School's Herbert Marcuse, and busting his coworkers' chops for not being on his level. Crowe, hulking and intentionally out of shape, hides Wigand behind unfashionable glasses and boxy gray suits. This is a man who is uncomfortable everywhere—with his family, with his coworkers, on his own. The happiest he seems in the entire movie is when he is addressing a group of students about chemistry after taking a job teaching in a Louisville high school, but for the most part Crowe plays Wigand as a rather unpleasant public health crusader. If that's really what he is. There's an ambiguity to Wigand's motivations: Does he want to do good, or screw over the people who jeopardized his family's well-being? Does it matter which one it is?
Most of the first two-thirds of the film is made up of Bergman fiddling with the dials, trying to tune into Wigand's frequency and get at what this source is sitting on. Early on, in a meeting in Louisville, Bergman comes at him straight on and asks, "Why are you working for tobacco in the first place?" Wigand looks down and says, "I can't talk about it." This is taken to be in reference to Wigand's NDA, but it makes Bergman laugh. You want to dance? We'll dance.
That's what Pacino does for the rest of the movie: He dances around his kill like a predator. Once he gets wind of Wigand, he never lets go of the scent, and there are these wonderful moments when we just get to see Pacino, high off his own sensory awareness, poring through documents or waiting for a fax to come in or for someone to call him back, angling for a meeting to break his way, or maneuvering someone to do what he wants and think it's their own idea. He is a lot like a thief, but instead of a safecracker and a gun, he has a mobile phone and a Rolodex of contacts. The Insider might be the last great phone movie ever made—released right before texting and email became the primary form of professional and personal communications. At the time of release, Mann told Salon, "The picture is two hours and 32 minutes of talking. Everything is dialogue. On the one hand you could view it as a horrible restriction; on the other hand you could view it as this great adventure." Everything in this movie is intimate. It's all domestic, taking place in living rooms, hotel rooms, bedrooms, and offices. Doors get closed for privacy, tips get passed under the breath while standing at a bar, crucial conversations take place as side chatter at restaurants or during bus rides.
This may be ultimately why The Insider is a somewhat forgotten film from 1999, and in Mann's catalog. It's comparatively quiet. It's not about the pursuit of a serial killer, or John Dillinger, or a bank robber. It's not a biopic of a famous figure. When Wallace meets Wigand and his wife, he derisively asks Bergman, "Who are these people?" Bergman responds: "Ordinary people under extraordinary pressure."
Bergman sticks up for his source, but he and Wigand could not be more different. Their few attempts at chitchat—at one point Bergman asks Wigand, "You think the Knicks are gonna make it to the semifinals?"—are painfully awkward. The thing that unites them is the same thing that unites all of Mann's central characters: a pride in work, and an obsession with perfecting the process of that work. By the end of the film, Brown & Williamson has run Wigand through the ringer, orchestrating a smear campaign against him that temporarily derails Bergman's support of his story. But, ultimately, what seems to drive Wigand is not being taken seriously, being brushed aside, being rejected. He is too good at his job for that to be his fate, and he reacts aggressively in response.
Bergman behaves the same way in the face of his own challenges. In the movie's emotional climax (I guess every time Pacino opens his mouth it's an emotional climax), Bergman dresses down Hewitt over the neutering of his story, and defends leaking details from behind the scenes to The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
For most of the movie, Bergman wears 60 Minutes like a badge of honor. But, as he will later tell Wallace upon resigning from the show, "What got broken here doesn't go back together again." He walks away from the pinnacle of his profession because they didn't treat his work the way it deserved to be treated. To Mann, there is no greater crime.
The visual style of The Insider—handheld, invasive, close-to-the-skin shots of people working and thinking and living—is in harmony with the story's thematic concerns. This film asks: What goes on inside people's heads? That makes it like a lot of the best titles that came out in 1999. In a year that saw movies like Being John Malkovich and Fight Club imaginatively actualize the dark territory of the human mind, The Insider poeticizes what we can't know about people. It is filmed from just outside touching distance of understanding, with many shots of Wigand looking as if they were set up on his lapel, or just behind his ear, like the camera is trying to burrow into his mind. The Matrix and Eyes Wide Shut inspired reams of analysis, unpacking their meaning and symbolism. What you see is what you get with The Insider, save for one moment of fantastical imagery, when, in a moment of crisis, Wigand's hotel walls dissolve into an imagined scene of domestic bliss—his children playing in the backyard—as he reflects on everything he's sacrificed to do the right thing.
That's the central question The Insider asks, I think: Why do we do the right thing? Why does doing the right thing often seem like an act of self-harm? Why does doing the wrong thing often seem like an act of self-preservation? Does it matter if Wigand was a relatively unpleasant person? Does it matter that Bergman manipulated him to get the story he wanted, regardless of what it did to Wigand's personal life? Does it matter that 60 Minutes ultimately gets the credit for running the story, even if they initially choked during the first airing of the piece? I keep going back to what Mann, the consummate action director, told Salon: "It's actions that count, not what motivated you to do them. There's no purely motivated action in this motion picture—not on the part of Wigand, not even on the part of Lowell. It's life."

Serotonin 5-Hydroxytryptamine2C Receptor Signaling in Hypothalamic Proopiomelanocortin Neurons: Role in Energy Homeostasis in Females

Hypothalamic proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons play a critical role in the regulation of energy balance, and there is a convergence of critical synaptic input including GABA and serotonin on POMC neurons to regulate their output. We found previously that 17β-estradiol (E2) reduced the potency of the GABAB receptor agonist baclofen to activate G protein-coupled inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK) channels in hypothalamic POMC neurons through a membrane estrogen receptor (mER) via a Gαq phospholipase C (PLC)-protein kinase Cδ-protein kinase A pathway. We hypothesized that the mER and neurotransmitter receptor signaling pathways converge to control energy homeostasis. Because 5-HT2C receptors mediate many of the effects of serotonin in POMC neurons, we elucidated the common signaling pathways of E2 and 5-HT in guinea pigs using single-cell reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), real time RT-PCR, and whole-cell patch recording. Both 5-hydroxytryptamine2C (5-HT2C) and 5-HT2A receptors were coexpressed in POMC neurons. The 5-HT2A/C agonist (±)-1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOI) desensitized the GABAB response in a dose-dependent manner, which was antagonized by the selective 5-HT2C receptor antagonists 8-[5-(2,4-dimethoxy-5-(4-trifluoromethylphenylsulphonamido) phenyl-5-oxopentyl]1,3,8-triazaspiro[4.5] decane-2,4-dione hydrochloride (RS102221) and 1,2,3, 4,10,14b-hexahydro-2-methyldibenzo [c,f]pyrazino[1,2-a]-azepine hydrochloride (ORG 3363). The 5-HT2C receptor was Gαq-coupled to PLC activation and hydrolysis of plasma membrane phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate to directly inhibit GIRK channel activity. Coapplication of the two agonists at their EC50 concentrations (DOI, 20 μM, and E2, 50 nM) produced additive effects. Although there was a significant gender difference in the effects of E2 on baclofen responses, there was no gender difference in 5-HT2C receptor-mediated effects. Finally, both DOI and estrogen (intracerebroventricular) inhibited feeding in ovariectomized female mice. Therefore, the Gαq signaling pathways of the mER and 5-HT2C receptors may converge to enhance synaptic efficacy in brain circuits that are critical for maintaining homeostatic functions.

This week, Deland and I participated in the Urban Beyond Measure luncheon for Stanford Global Studies (SGS) grant recipients. Thanks to the grant we received from Urban Beyond Measure, we were able to host the first Urban Sustainability Symposium this past June. We are excited to continue growing the "Urban Sustainability" series at Stanford.
We greatly enjoyed meeting faculty from different disciplines—anthropology, political science, history, civil & environmental engineering, and performing arts were all represented—and forming a cadre of folks interested in tackling urban challenges together. It was also inspiring to hear about the diverse research and pedagogical approaches being taken in these disparate fields. Some people were digging through archives in London for resources about Afghanistan's cities; others were pulling together art projects and galleries related to India, or mapping incidences of crime in Egypt before and after the Arab Spring movement.
One anthropologist talked about investigating "civility" in the urban context, and it made me think of the Confucian ideal of a "harmonious" city and the promotion of li 禮 or "etiquette." This concept later evolved in Republican China, both through efforts of individual intellectuals, and by the Nationalist government's New Life Movement (新生活運動), which attempted to inspire greater community feeling and public spiritedness (公德心), as well as reaffirming basic etiquette in the streets and the public sphere.
I look forward to growing the Urban Sustainability initiative at Stanford, and the next step will be hosting the Urban Sustainability Design Expo on December 3, which will include our Tsinghua University partners and projects from the International Urbanization Seminar.

Q: 2-dimensional array to object (JavaScript) I have an array, that holds a large number of two-dimensional arrays:
var myArray = [
    [2260146,2334221,"copy"],
    [1226218,2334231,"copy"],
    [2230932,-1,"copy"],
    [2230933,-1,"copy"],
    [2230934,-1,"copy"]
]

I need to convert this array into an object of the following form to send it as JSON:
var json = [
  {
    "s_id": 2260146,
    "t_id": 2334221,
    "type": "copy"
  },
  {
    "s_id": 1226218,
    "t_id": 2334231,
    "type": "copy"
  },
  {
    "s_id": 12,
    "t_id": -1,
    "type": "copy"
  }
]

("s_id" should be myArray[0][0], "t_id myArray[0][1], and "type" myArray[0][2] and so on.)
How can I get the array in the desired form? Thanks in advance.

A: You could destructure the parameter in map and use Shorthand property names:

const myArray=[[2260146,2334221,"copy"],[1226218,2334231,"copy"],[2230932,-1,"copy"],[2230933,-1,"copy"],[2230934,-1,"copy"]]

const output = myArray.map(([s_id, t_id, type]) => ({ s_id, t_id, type }))

console.log(output)

A: Try with:
var length = myArray.length,
    json   = [];

for ( var i = 0; i < length; i++ ) {
  var subArray = myArray[i],
      item = {
        s_id: subArray[0],
        t_id: subArray[1],
        type: subArray[2]
      };
   json.push(item);
}

A: json = myArray.map(function(x) {
    return {
        "s_id": x[0],
        "t_id": x[1],
        "type": x[2]
    }
})

Be aware that map is not supported in IEs < 9.

A: How to traverse through the following structure from 2D array
weekearn,monthearn is variable containing array of objects.

Decware phenomenal phonostage for sale. The ZP3 is a single-ended triode MM phonostage with 42 dB of gain. Had it about 5 years.
The lead time for a new Decware ZP3 is about 3 to 4 months. Here is your opportunity to beat the waiting line. The bottom is missing two rubber foot. According to Jeff Dorgay at Tone Audio No.
74, October 2015 , This is actually more of a long-term review, with Mr. Marcantonio confirming what I heard instantly with the ZP3. Up till now, my favorite budget phonostage has been my trusty Audio Research PH-3SE, which retailed for exactly twice the MSRP of the Decware back in 2001 when it was discontinued and used FETs in the first gain stage.
The ZP3 is even quieter, being all tubes. I continue to be impressed by the tonal delicacy, richness and contrast this phonostage offers. And its good enough to get one of our Publishers Choice Awards next issue, too. The item "Decware Zen Triode ZP3 Phonostage" is in sale since Monday, February 26, 2018. This item is in the category "Home & Garden\Home Improvement\Building & Hardware\Cabinets & Cabinet Hardware\Cabinet Knobs & Pulls". The seller is "gosung" and is located in Chicago, Illinois.

The tower is the result of late eighteenth century uncompleted extension and transformation acted in a building of medieval sighting. A spiral stairs, whose core is occupied by an old well, reaches the basement from the ground floor. Two elliptical stairs and an octagonal aedicule dominating the countryside are on it.
Within the preservation work a metal stairs giving access to the terminal covered roof-terrace was added. The rooms on the ground floor next to the tower have been turned into the Town Hall.


Rotary dryers are used prolifically throughout bulk solids processing applications – from fertilizers and soil amendments, to minerals, specialty chemicals and more. In fact, new applications in which rotary dryers are being implemented are constantly on the rise.
Whatever the application, rotary dryers are often supplied as a system, with the dryer being accompanied by several pieces of support equipment.
Sometimes referred to as "dryer islands," these systems foster seamless operation through ensuring that the rotary dryer is properly fed and meets the required exhaust handling specifications.
The typical support equipment that makes up a complete drying system is outlined below. In addition to our custom rotary dryers, FEECO can provide the listed equipment as part of a complete drying system.
All direct rotary dryers must be equipped with exhaust gas handling equipment. The level of exhaust gas handling required is based on the unique emissions requirements of the material being processed, combined with local, state, and federal regulations. Design of the exhaust handling system will differ based on the level of treatment needed.
Depending on the requirements, the exhaust gas handling system typically consists of one of the setups listed below. However, no matter what type of exhaust gas handling system is employed, an induced draft (ID) fan will be required.
The use of an ID fan creates a negative pressure environment, drawing exhaust gas, air and particulates, or "flue gas" through the system and facilitating their removal.
When a baghouse or baghouse & cyclone combination (outlined below) are implemented, the ID fan is always positioned after these items so it can be used to draw the exhaust through them.
For cyclone and scrubber applications, the ID fan can be positioned between the cyclone & scrubber or after the cyclone and scrubber. It is desirable to place it after the cyclone (and before the scrubber) when the exhaust gas contains chemicals that become corrosive when mixed with water from the scrubber. By doing this, the fan can be fabricated from carbon steel as opposed to a special alloy.
The baghouse with ID fan is typically the system of choice when there is not excessive carryover or a requirement to treat the exhaust gas for chemical pollutants such as VOCs, fluorine, etc.
The baghouse or bag filter collects any particulates that may have become entrained in the process gas and carried out through the exhaust air, which can especially be an issue when a high airflow velocity is combined with a fine material. Preventing the release of captured particulates into the atmosphere is a critical part of emissions control.
Not only do baghouses aid in air pollution control, but they can also be used to reduce wasted product; the dust and fines collected by the baghouse can often be recovered and reintroduced to the process, mitigating any waste lost as dust. In some operations, operators may choose to implement an agglomeration circuit to process baghouse fines or send them back to the process as recycle.
In the baghouse + ID fan configuration, the baghouse is positioned immediately after the dryer and before the ID fan.
When excessive carryover exists, the baghouse and ID fan are preceded by a cyclone to provide optimal exhaust handling.
Cyclones use centrifugal force to separate out larger dust particles. Incorporating a cyclone into the system prior to the baghouse increases dust and product recovery. For this reason, this system is particularly beneficial when maximum recovery of dust and product is desirable, such as when working with a highly valuable material.
Cyclones first remove the bulk of the larger particulates, leaving the baghouse, which is not ideal for dealing with a lot of carryover, to filter out the remaining dust. As a result, this setup can help to prolong baghouse life and reduce the frequency of maintenance since the cyclone reduces the burden on the baghouse by handling the bulk of particulates. Furthermore, this setup allows baghouses to be effective in situations where they otherwise could not due to incompatible material characteristics (again because the cyclone removes the bulk of entrained material before the baghouse).
A cyclone combined with a scrubber and ID fan can be the best option when chemical pollutants are present.
Unlike the two aforementioned systems, which are considered dry handling, the cyclone and scrubber combination is considered wet handling.
The scrubber utilizes a fluid solution (often water) to clean contaminants and particulates from exhaust gas. In this setup, the cyclone serves to remove the majority of the particulates, while the scrubber removes the remainder, along with any harmful chemical components.
The image above shows the discharge end of a rotary dryer. Ducting carries air and particulates out to a cyclone and baghouse, while a troughed belt conveyor collects material from the discharge to carry it to storage or transport.
In direct rotary dryers, a controlled combustion reaction is used to produce the process drying gas. This will always require a burner, and in some cases, a combustion chamber.
The burner provides the source of combustion, using the fuel source, along with combustion and dilution air to create a combustion reaction that produces the required energy.
Burners can be designed to accept several fuel sources, including natural gas, propane, diesel, and more.
In some settings, waste heat from various sources can be used to preheat combustion or dilution air to improve burner efficiency. The combustion air required to assist in the combustion reaction typically comes from a blower forcing air into the burner. The burner heats up the combustion and dilution air to produce the necessary process drying gas. An air-to-air or steam-to-air heat exchanger can be used to raise the temperature of waste heat, allowing it to be fed in as the combustion or dilution air, reducing the burden on the burner and increasing efficiency.
Combustion chambers are not required in all settings, but can be a valuable add-on. Combustion chambers serve to house the combustion reaction and direct the airflow into the dryer (either co-currently or counter currently).
Implementing a combustion chamber can offer a number of benefits. Perhaps most importantly, the addition of a combustion chamber can promote a quality product by preventing contact between the burner flame and the material being processed.
Shown here is the burner integrated into the combustion chamber of a rotary dryer for processing frac sand.
In addition to the immediate support equipment, various types of material handling equipment will be required to transport material to and from the dryer. This might include screw conveyors, belt conveyors, bucket elevators, feeders, etc.
A bucket elevator (at right) feeds a counter-current rotary dryer.
Rotary dryers are a critical component in many industrial bulk solids processing applications. These units often require a range of support equipment to integrate them into a process and to meet air pollution requirements.
FEECO is a leading supplier of custom rotary dryers and systems. With experience around hundreds of materials, we can supply you with a complete drying system around your unique process needs. For more information on our drying systems, contact us today.

Tobacco and Cannabis smoking in Banff
In Alberta, each municipality is responsible for setting regulations about cannabis use and retail. All communities are governed by Alberta's legislation on smoking/vaping cannabis and tobacco, but each community can impose further restrictions.
Every individual is responsible for determining the local laws and provincial legislation about possession, consumption, growing and selling/buying cannabis.
It is a privilege to visit and live in Banff, a small town in a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Canada's first national park. With that privilege comes the responsibility to ensure the time spent here is enjoyable for everyone. In Banff, all community members share in the responsibility to create an exceptional experience and refrain from activities that could diminish the quality of the visit, especially for children. Our community aims to promote our clean, pristine mountain air as part of that visitor experience.
No smoking/vaping cannabis in public places
The Town of Banff prohibits smoking and vaping of cannabis in public places, just as the consumption of alcohol is prohibited in public places. This means smoking or vaping of cannabis is prohibited in these locations:
sidewalks, trails and paths
streets, alleys and lanes
parks, forests and green spaces
public structures or street furniture
Smoking or vaping cannabis is prohibited in town of Banff public places by the Street and and Public Place Use Bylaw. (see frequently requested bylaws)
Smoking on private property
Smoking cannabis will be allowed on private property, subject to provincial restrictions or property policies. Banff residents and guests must ensure they comply with any smoking policies set by property owners (such as hotel operators, staff accommodation managers, condominium boards, and apartment managers).
Property owners and managers are responsible for setting policies allowing or prohibiting smoking or vaping of cannabis in their premises. A property may have different rules about tobacco and cannabis, which requires a clear policy.
Banff restrictions on public smoking or vaping of cannabis do not apply to authorized medical use.
Cannabis Use in the National Park
Parks Canada has developed guidelines within national parks, national historic sites, and national marine conservation areas that are consistent with relevant provincial/territorial cannabis legislation. In Banff, Yoho, and Kootenay, the relevant Province of Alberta and British Columbia legislation and regulations will apply.
In Banff, Kootenay and Yoho national parks, in accordance with Alberta and British Columbia provincial laws on cannabis use:
Public consumption in day use areas and on trails is permitted.
In Parks Canada's campgrounds, cannabis consumption will be limited to a visitor's campsite (with a valid camping permit). It's important to note that public consumption is not permitted in common areas within campgrounds (e.g. playgrounds, kitchen shelters, washrooms, trails, roads). This is similar to the approach Parks Canada follows for other regulated substances, like alcohol.
The Town of Banff passed bylaws that prohibit the smoking and vaping of cannabis in all public places.
Public consumption within townsites administered by Parks Canada, including Lake Louise and Field, is permitted.
Visitors and stakeholders are encouraged to inform themselves on the applicable provincial laws and municipal bylaws regarding cannabis use in Alberta and British Columbia.
View more information about cannabis consumption at Parks Canada places.
Provincial Legislation - Smoking/Vaping Tobacco or Cannabis
Alberta legislation prohibits smoking or vaping cannabis in all the places where tobacco smoking is banned under the Tobacco and Smoking Reduction Act.
Smoking is prohibited in a "public place," defined as all or any part of a building, structure or other enclosed area to which members of the public have access as or right or by express or implied invitation, including:
the common areas of a multi-unit residential facility, including patios, pools, or other recreation areas and enclosed parking garages,
a group living facility
an outdoor bus or taxi shelter
a restaurant, and
a hotel
in a workplace
in a vehicle in which a minor is present
in a public vehicle, or
within 5 metres from a doorway, window or air intake of a public place or workplace
In addition, in an effort to protect children and limit second-hand exposure, public smoking or vaping of cannabis in Alberta is prohibited in the following places:
on any hospital property, school property or child care facility property
in or within a prescribed distance from:
a playground
a sports or playing field
a skateboard or bicycle park
a zoo
an outdoor theatre
an outdoor pool or splash pad
from any motor vehicles, with the exception of those being used as a temporary residences, such as a parked RV
There is no consumption of cannabis allowed at any cannabis retail outlets.
Learn more from the Alberta Government website including information about selling and growing cannabis, and drug-impaired driving.
Canadian Legislation
The Government of Canada has passed The Cannabis Act to legalize, regulate and restrict access to cannabis. The legislation comes into effect on October 17, 2018.
After October 17, the new federal legislation will, among other things:
allow adults to possess a limited amount of legally produced cannabis;
set the minimum age for purchase and use at 18 years of age, with the option for provinces to increase the age limit;
enable regulations for the licensed production of cannabis, which would be controlled by the federal government;
and, enable regulations for the distribution and sale of cannabis, which would be controlled by the provincial government.
The federal legislation aims to:
better prevent youth from accessing cannabis
displace the illegal cannabis market
protect public health and safety with product quality and safety requirements for cannabis
Find details on Government of Canada Cannabis law.

Der Bautastein auf dem Kyrkjehaugen (auch Stødle Kirke genannt) ist ein Menhir nordöstlich von Etne im Fylke Vestland in Norwegen.

Der Kyrkjehaugen ist ein Rundhügel von etwa 15,0 Meter Durchmesser und 2,0 Meter Höhe, der etwa 20 Meter westlich der Stødle-Kirche etwas außerhalb der Mauer liegt, die den Friedhof umgibt. Der Hügel liegt am Rande einer Terrasse, auf der einst eine große Zahl von Grabhügeln lag. Die meisten von ihnen sind aufgrund landwirtschaftlicher Tätigkeit ausgegangen.

Auf der Kuppe des Hügels steht der etwa 4,5 Meter hohe, 50 cm breite und 30 cm dicke Bautastein. Das Oberteil hat eine runde Form. Der Stein hat einige kleinere Stützsteine an der Basis.

Der Bautastein steht nicht an seinem anfänglichen Ort. Er wurde in der Kirchenmauer gefunden, während der Renovierung der Kirche herausgenommen und auf dem Hügel aufgestellt. Es stammt wahrscheinlich aus der Gegend, aber sein ursprünglicher Standort ist unbekannt.

Nördlich der Kirche befinden sich die Reste eines großen Grabhügels namens "Bogahaugen". Es hatte fast 30,0 m Durchmesser, aber das meiste wurde abgepflügt.

Etwa 200 m entfernt liegen die Felsritzungen von Helgaberget und zwei Kilometer entfernt steht der Bautastein von Gjerde.

Tactical move phase troops disappeared!
I was in the middle of choosing the number of troops to move during my tactical move phase. The connection got lost or something, for a second, and when it returned me to the game, the amount of troops on each territory had already been done for me, they each had an equal amount, 4 & 4, BUT HALF MY TROOPS WERE GONE!! It totally screwed me out of my men and the game.

Formula 1 test driver de Villota 'died from crash injuries'
The cremation has taken place of Spanish Formula One test driver Maria de Villota.
De Villota was appointed test driver for Anglo-Russian Formula One team Marussia last year before a testing accident in England in July 2012 in which De Villota lost her right eye and fractured her skull. She recovered from life-threatening injuries but no longer competed.
Only a handful of women have driven Formula One cars in the last decade and none has come near to racing one in competition.
De Villota had been found dead in a hotel in the southern Spanish city of Seville by her personal assistant on Friday.
A family statement said she had died "as a consequence of the neurological injuries she suffered" in the incident.
Formula One drivers will hold a minute's silence before Sunday's Japanese Grand Prix in memory of de Villota and the podium will be dedicated in her honour, officials said on Saturday.

23 Years In Jail For Hacking Victim Up With A Cutlass
As of Wednesday, May 31, 2017

A MAN, who was convicted by a Supreme Court jury of the decapitation of another man, was sentenced to 23 years in prison yesterday.
Jason Glinton, 37, who was accused of the October 2012 murder of Fortis Moncur in Cat Island, was retried before Senior Justice Bernard Turner in March.
At the original case's climax before Justice Carolita Bethel, the judge was compelled to declare a mistrial when she was informed of an alleged public confrontation between Glinton and a juror.
Though Glinton was originally charged with murder, the jury in his retrial convicted him of the lesser charge of manslaughter by a count of 8-4 on March 10.
In considering the Court of Appeal case of Larry Raymond Jones, Senior Justice Turner determined that 23 years was a sentence sufficient to send a strong message to society that such acts will not be tolerated.
Glinton's sentence was reduced by six months spent on remand and his sentence was ordered to run from the date of conviction, March 10.
Senior Justice Turner advised him of his right to appeal both conviction and sentence.
Prosecutors alleged that Glinton struck Moncur in the head with a baseball bat and then hacked him up with a cutlass following Moncur's accusations of him sleeping with his girlfriend.
The killing allegedly occurred between October 5 and 18, 2012.
When he took the stand during his retrial, Glinton alleged he was oppressed and brutalised while in police custody.
He claimed that police assaulted him and placed a plastic bag over his head to force him to sign a prepared confession statement in which he allegedly described what led to Moncur's death.
He also alleged that he was coached by the detectives during the video recording of his interview in showing police where he had discarded Moncur's remains.
Partially decomposed human remains were found in Devil's Point, but they only found the head after Moncur led them to it, it was revealed in court.
Forensic pathologist Dr Caryn Sands was unable to determine the cause of death as she did not have a complete corpse to examine during her autopsy.
Jacqueline Forbes-Foster prosecuted for the Crown while Murrio Ducille represented Glinton.

RBG's daughter gives Dems another reason to hate Hillary
One of the dark secrets of the Democrats is the degree of unspoken hatred against Hillary Clinton. Get a couple of drinks into a fanatic Democrat partisan, and in all likelihood, you can elicit some of the anger and sense of betrayal against Herself for losing the presidency to Donald Trump. The Clinton Machine is still powerful (and mean) enough to squelch most outright expression of resentment, but it's there. With a billion dollars or so more than Donald Trump had to spend, with support of 90% of the media, and with the allure of breaking the "glass ceiling," the race was Hillary's to lose.
And against the odds, she did.
Now, with the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the apparent ability of the Senate to confirm the successor President Trump will name on Saturday, the consequences of Hillary's loss will last for decades.
That's why the revelation her daughter Jane expressed to the The New York Times is so damning of Hillary.
"I think that Mother, like many others, expected that Hillary Clinton would win the nomination and the presidency, and she wanted the first female president to name her successor," Jane Ginsburg emailed me [NYT reporter Emily Bazelon] on Sunday.
Up to now, such anger as has been expressed against Ginsburg for not stepping down when a Democrat, Barack Obama, could appoint her successor, has focused on her ego in wanting to hang onto her seat (and power). But now we see that it was a desire for a feminist double-triumph: a female president appointing another female justice. It's a womyn thing.
There is no way that Democrats can blame feminism. The party depends on the female vote, along with outsize majorities among blacks, to win elections. So that means that Hillary Clinton must bear the anger that is not going to go away, only increase, as Trump appoints a female justice who doesn't love abortion.
