Executive Communication: Stop talking, start acting
Post category:Leadership / Communication / Sustainability
What a start into the New Year this time: The climate crisis has dominated the conversation in social media, with discussions ranging from the purpose of fireworks in Germany to devastating bushfires in Australia. Yet, we are still "only scratching the surface", reflects Greta Thunberg. We can now say that it is a Must for every business executive to not only comply, but also clearly articulate a position on environmental, social and governance aspects (ESG). Interestingly, this view is increasingly feeding into established studies such as the annual Harvard Business Review CEO ranking. ESG criteria now account for 30 percent of an executive's ranking, reflecting the rapidly changing priorities of many investors. Due to the growing importance of ESG, for example, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, number one when it comes to financial performance, dropped out of the Top 100 ranking entirely. Signals are clear: Executive reputation is now more than ever driven by sustainability. Emergent leadership is necessary that let's go of the old belief that, ultimately, only financial metrics count. Instead, purpose-orientation comes into focus – driven by employees, customers, investors and communities alike. 2020 is the year to start acting on this. The question is how? Take a look at the CRO.SWISS platform that offers hands-on workshops and a platform for exchange on both the emergent leadership role and a how-to approach for executives that want to increase their reputation by building a presence in digital media from scratch.
The time of Hidden Champions is over
Until recently, it was quite chic and appropriate for entrepreneurs to literally keep a low profile as hidden champions. Perhaps for fear of criticism and uncomfortable questions some preferred not to give an interview if in doubt. Comments on the political situation or even on competitors were considered as a taboo. However, the digitalization of media has completely turned the tide: Social media not only bring presidents into office, but also have a significant influence on the reputation and perception of managers. Today it is virtually impossible to build up a high reputation as a manager without an existence in the social media. Participation in the discourse is a necessity. Customers, employees and investors are interested in whose products they buy, who they work for and who they invest in. Current analyses show that CEO reputation today is fed primarily by four dimensions: vision and leadership, responsibility for society, interest in the greater good and openness to showing oneself from a personal side. For those who take this to heart and don't leave the field to others, there are huge opportunities to free up themselves by providing orientation in the jungle of complexity.
Around 750 million people today use the two professional platforms LinkedIn and Twitter alone. Not only journalists, but also customers and employees of companies of all sizes and in all sectors are certainly involved. According to an ECCO study published in September 2019, Swiss CEOs rank 5th worldwide: However, only a few exceptions actively use social channels and position their entire company on their own topics. From the Swiss Market Index (SMI), these are mainly three CEOs: Vas Narasimhan of Novartis, Sergio Ermotti of UBS and Alain Dehaze of Adecco.
Hurdles to overcome
According to our own studies, there are above all three arguments that make managers hesitate:
Many are currently overloaded, the uncertain economic situation requires the focus on the operative business. In this environment there seems to be no time left to deal with other new topics.
Another group of managers wants to remain modest or humble – they do not want to present themselves in social or other media. Representatives of hidden champions such as Franz Haniel, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Franz Haniel & Cie. GmbH even claim not to give interviews as a matter of principle, as they allegedly have nothing to say about public affairs.
Perhaps the largest group is simply unsettled behind closed doors because they lack experience: What tools do you need to become active in social media? Shouldn't the communications department do that? And how big is the risk to unintendedly get into a shitstorm?
Employees, customers and investors call for participation
On the other hand, there are many stakeholders who are massively demanding the participation of entrepreneurs and managers in public conversation: Today's employees want to work for a leader who exemplifies values and gives the company a face. By purchasing products, customers do not only want to increase the producer's profit, but also recognize the added value that results for the community. And interestingly, investors like Larry Fink, CEO of the world's largest asset manager Blackrock, are asking CEOs to address pressing social and economic issues. In his annual letter to CEOs, he writes that social media is creating public pressure on companies "today faster and with greater reach" than ever before. In view of the current political and economic tensions, Blackrock CEO Fink believes that publicly visible leadership among managers worldwide is essential.
Clarity through communication
If we first shed some light on the time argument: A strong social media presence does not necessarily cause a load of additional work – even more, it can provide significant relief. Not for nothing do German top managers like Dieter Zetsche (ex-Daimler CEO) and Joe Kaeser (Siemens) say that they regularly invest up to 30 percent of their time in communication. Joe Kaeser in particular vouches for the fact that pulling out of the public discussion harms the company in the long term and, with this approach, sometimes actively seeks an exchange with journalists. Platforms such as LinkedIn and Twitter open up the possibility of building up your own network directly and without detours. No one today has to wait for an editor to call or buy expensive conference tickets to sit down with opinion leaders at a table.
But social media can also provide relief on a personal level. This does not only apply to the bosses of large companies who can rely on a staff of communication employees. For example, Matthias Schulze, managing director of the small craft company Malerfachbetrieb Heyse from Altwarmbüchen near Hanover, Germany, describes how things can go: After a personal crisis and an almost 4-year break due to burnout, he has completely restructured his life and his company. As he describes in his blog, today he manages to achieve more with less work. For him, social media and his employees are the key to success. It is about changing the framework conditions for everyone, breaking down structures and reshaping the future.
New (thought) leadership approach at Novartis
The first CEOs in Switzerland are also pursuing a similar overall entrepreneurial approach. A prominent example is Novartis CEO Vas Narasimhan. In July 2019, he announced the management concept "Unboss", which is already regarded as one of the most exciting experiments in the European corporate sector. The aim is to convey a radical change to the 105,000 employees – getting rid of traditional corporate hierarchies with rigid reporting lines and, instead, launching independent, self-organized work in teams. Narsimhan does not conduct an ongoing dialogue with its employees primarily via internal, closed channels, but via LinkedIn, which is open to all. There, with over 150,000 followers, he has already established one of the largest personal channels in the German-speaking world and, having initially concentrated on pharmaceutical topics, is increasingly focusing on leadership: "Unboss – Join me on my journey as a CEO reimagining leadership" is the name of his new monthly newsletter, in which he reports on his own journey and his changing role as an executive. Within just a few weeks, he has already built up over 33,000 subscribers here as well (as of 2 January 2020). He is also one of the few CEOs in Europe to have a personal Twitter account under the handle @VasNarasimhan. With over 11,000 followers, it also reaches a broad elite audience, including many journalists and politicians who like to exchange topics via Twitter.
The bag producer Freitag from Zurich is also pursuing a similar transformation project: the company with around 200 employees is committed to self-organization and has been working according to the holocratic organizational model since 2016. As Culture Coach and Creative Director, Pascal Dulex is one of those who cultivates public dialogue and calls for new forms of cooperation via both LinkedIn and podcast appearances.
Is the close connection between radical transformations and open communication via social channels perhaps a coincidence? Rather not: In a study conducted by the University of Hohenheim in 2018, 83 percent of the top 500 companies from German-speaking countries surveyed said that management communication is ultimately the lynchpin of whether transformation succeeds at all.
Reputation as a management task
In addition to the transformation projects that companies impose on themselves to make the vision of new leadership and new work a reality, there are tangible reasons why CEOs and executives should focus on their reputation and increasingly on social media. Top managers estimate that 44 percent of the market value of a company depends on the reputation of the CEO. 88 percent say that a CEO with a high reputation attracts new investors, the business magazine Forbes, in cooperation with the agency Weber shandwick, determined as early as 2017. On the other hand, it is to a large extent also about the internal impact:
72 percent of all executives say they would rather work for a CEO active in the social media. They are interested in direct exchange and greater transparency and agreement on what the company wants to work towards.
If the CEO is active in social media, the probability that employees also use social media to boost sales increases by 57 percent.
The attractiveness of companies in the recruiting market and in employer branding is increasing at roughly the same rate: by 58 percent, the attention and importance of the Y and Z generations increases when managers of a company are socially visible – because today the younger generations inform themselves almost exclusively through social channels, while only a single-digit percentage of the under 20-year-olds regularly take a look at a print medium or consume news on television.
These figures come from analyses by Weber Shandwick, LinkedIn and interviews from the Behind the Screen Podcast – and are topped by a figure from the Edelman Trust Barometer 2019: 71 percent of the employees interviewed there say that CEOs should also seek solutions to political problems instead of waiting for politicians. At 11 per cent, this figure also recorded the highest increase compared with the previous year among all the criteria examined.
Social media are no longer about self-portrayal or the often quoted "personal brand". Nor is it a substitute for the cooperation with sometimes dubious "spin doctors". Instead, it is about participating in the important discussions about the future of our economy and society, striving for an open cooperation with different stakeholders and further developing our own mindset in order to contribute to strong, innovative and inspiring organisations that show responsibility and take on the task of securing the future. In his new book, bestselling author Simon Sinek describes the economy as "Infinite Game", i.e. one that knows no winners or losers, but in which the players come and go. Companies that are resilient and remain long-term are all geared to an evolutionary purpose, are open to cooperation and do not just focus on numbers [Link zu Purpose Artikel]. This is in line with the expectations of leading macroeconomists and executives, as the Reputation Institute determined in its current Makrotrend Study 2019: At the top as drivers of the reputation of C-level managers are fulfilling the company's purpose and networking with relevant market influencers in order to be involved in all topics that directly drive the future of the company right from the start. In an analysis of 5,000 CEOs carried out in October 2019, management consultancy McKinsey also comes to the conclusion: "Excellent CEOs spend time thinking about the purpose of their company, articulating and championing it, because it relates to the major effects of daily business operations".
Modesty is out of place
Modesty is therefore out of place when it comes to changing the world of work or tackling CO2 problems in the context of the climate debate. Employees, customers and investors explicitly expect corporate leaders to show themselves and make their contributions visible. The time of the long praised Hidden Champions has passed in this respect.
Overcoming uncertainty
So, there remains the third concern that managers often carry within them: uncertainty in dealing with the social media and the associated fear of making thoughtless mistakes. What is to be considered in this respect: Before one comes as a newcomer at all into the danger into a so-called Shitstorm to get, a much larger hurdle is to be taken: Build your own visibility and establish a relationship with the relevant drivers and influencers. The amount of information on the net is now far too great to be consumed in even a fraction of it. The hype around digital marketing is broken, instead we live in a time of content shock, in which it is important to shine with relevance instead of just a lot of information.
A research team from the University of Duisburg-Essen under the direction of Prof. Milad Mirbabaie, who presented an analysis of original tweets of leading CEOs from the USA for the first time at the 14th International Conference on Business Informatics in Siegen in February 2019, came to the same conclusion. This study applied the well-known and scientifically proven analysis model of the reputation quotient to 3,604 Tweets of leading US CEOs such as Tim Cook (Apple), Satya Nadella (Microsoft), Sundar Pichai (Google) or Elon Musk (Tesla), concluding that the reputation of a CEO in social media is driven primarily by the areas of vision & leadership and social responsibility. Other topics such as products & services or financial performance, which are often the focus of marketing or corporate communications, score fewer points. The study also revealed that CEOs have discovered two new fields of reputation that are not yet relevant to corporate reputation: This is on the one hand the common interest – with allies and also competitors – in interesting aspects of the respective personal topic. On the other hand, personal aspects, such as Sundar Pichai's assessment of the forthcoming World Cup, also play a key role in enhancing personal reputation.
From this perspective as well, it is therefore important for CEOs to consciously deal with the topic they wish to occupy. This requires some preparatory work in order to find the interface between the company's viewpoint and personal preferences. In addition, it is important to match the individual strengths with the needs of society and to develop an interesting niche, the personal story. Ultimately, this is the basis for every Social CEO to get involved in the public debate and thus tap into the enormous potential for liberation of a high reputation.

Q: why no examples of horizontally scalable software load balancers balancing ssl? I have a bunch of questions with respect to ssl, local sessions, and load balancing which seem to be interconnected, so I apologize in advance for the length of this question.
I have a website which uses file-based sessions.  The nature of the site is that most of it is http, but some sections are ssl.  Currently, because of the file based sessions, it is necessary for any ssl requests to hit the same server as any previous http requests.
Because of time constraints, I want to do the easiest possible thing to load balance increased http and ssl traffic.
There seems to be 2 options for sticky load balancing algorithms:

*

*ip based

*cookie based

The ip based solution will probably work, but the hashing algorithm will potentially change the server a user goes to when a server goes down or is added which is undesirable with the current file-based session setup.  I also suppose that it is technically possible for a user to legitimately change ips while browsing a website.
The cookie based algorithm seems better, but the inability to inspect the cookie when encrypted by ssl seemingly presents its own problems.
I have been googling for examples on how to load balance ssl, and I cannot seem to find any explicit examples of setups which can do cookie based load balancing AND which can deal with increased ssl load by adding another ssl decoder.
Most of the explicit examples I've seen have the ssl decoder (usually hardware, apache_mod_ssl, or nginx) sitting between the browser client and the load balancer.  The examples usually seem to have something like this (modified from http://haproxy.1wt.eu/download/1.3/doc/architecture.txt):

      192.168.1.1    192.168.1.11-192.168.1.14
 -------+-----------+-----+-----+-----+
        |           |     |     |     |
     +--+--+      +-+-+ +-+-+ +-+-+ +-+-+
     | LB1 |      | A | | B | | C | | D |
     +-----+      +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
     apache         4 cheap web servers
     mod_ssl
     haproxy

The ssl decoding part in the above example seems to be a potential bottleneck that is not horizontally scalable.
I've looked at haproxy, and it seems to have a 'mode tcp' option that would allow something like this, which would allow you to have multiple ssl decoders:

              haproxy
                 |
            -------------
            |           |
ssl-decoder-1           ssl-decoder2
            |           |
        -------------------
        |        |        |
      web1      web2       web3

However, in such a setup, it appears you would lose the client ip because haproxy is not decoding the ssl:
https://cloud-support.engineyard.com/discussions/problems/335-haproxy-not-passing-x-forwarded-for
I've also looked at nginx, and I also do not see any explicit examples of horizontally scalable ssl-decoders.  There seem to be many examples of people having nginx as a potential bottleneck.  And at least this link seems to suggest that nginx doesn't even have the option of the haproxy-like setup where you would lose the ip by saying that nginx "doesn't support transparently passing TCP connections to a backend" How to pass Apache SSL traffic trough nginx proxy? .
Questions:

*

*Why don't there seem to be more examples of setups adding more ssl decoders to deal with increased traffic?

*Is it because the ssl decoding step is only a theoretical bottleneck, and practically speaking, one decoder will essentially be enough except for sites with ridiculous traffic?

*Another possible solution that comes to mind is perhaps anybody with such increased ssl needs also has a centralized session store, so it doesn't matter which webserver the client hits on sequential requests.  Then you could enable mod_ssl or equivalent on every webserver.

*The haproxy solution cited above seems to work (besides the client IP problem), but has anyone come across a sticky cookie based software load balancer solution that would work by increasing the number of decoders while keeping the client IP, or is that perhaps technically not possible (because you have to decode the request to get the client IP, in which case, we have a decoder bottleneck).

Assuming that everything I've said is true, these appear to be my options:

*

*use ip hashing (bad for users who potentially legitimately change ips, and for server adding and dropping scenarios)

*use nginx or mod_ssl as the 1st program touching the ssl request, this will be a potential ssl decoding bottleneck

*use haproxy as the 1st program touching the ssl request, gaining horizontal ssl scalability, but live with no ips logged at the webserver level for ssl requests (probably temporarily ok)

*over the longer term, move towards a mobile or centralized session store, making sticky sessions unnecessary

A: The "simplest thing", in all seriousness, is to move to a centralised session store.  You've got to setup all this plumbing with load balancers, haproxy, SSL, and the rest of it, when every bit of session-handling code I've ever seen makes it near-trivial to plug in different storage engines, so a bit of code and very, very little extra complexity solves all your problems.

A: womble is right about the shared session store making things much easier all around. In addition to his answer, I can expand a bit on the load balancing parts of the question:

Why don't there seem to be more examples of setups adding more ssl decoders to deal with increased traffic?

Modern multi-core PC's can do several thousand SSL transactions per second. And if that becomes a bottleneck then a dedicated appliance from F5, Citrix, Cisco or the like can be even faster. So most sites never outgrow a good single-device SSL & load balancing solution.

Assuming that everything I've said is true, these appear to be my options:

There are options for scaling SSL decryption horizontally, if you come to need this.
The common approach is to use DNS Round Robin to highly available SSL accelerator pairs, i.e. publishing multiple IP addresses for the domain, each IP address pointing to a pair of SSL accelerators.
In this case you could worry about DNS TTL timing out in the middle of a user session, bumping the user to another application server. That should not be a common occurrence, but it could happen. A shared session store is the common solution, but it can be handled in other ways.
As one example you could separate the SSL decryption from the application server balancing. SSL handling is more CPU intensive than basic load balancing, thus a single load balancer should be able to saturate a couple of SSL accelerators. Like this:
Internet --> DNS round robin to multiple SSL accelerators --> plain HTTP to a single HTTP load balancer --> plain HTTP to multiple application servers
As mentioned in the beginning, a shared session store simplifies many things, and is almost certainly a better long-term solution than putting lots of complexity into your SSL / load balancing layer.

A: It's fun to respond to 2-years old questions like this when products have evolved. Right now haproxy supports the PROXY protocol, which allows it to pass the client's IP to the next hop even in pure TCP mode. It also supports native SSL, as well as SSL stickiness if you want to use it as a first layer in front of an SSL farm (possibly made from haproxy servers). So it seems that your request was a bit ahead of time and that implementations have caught up :-)

A: I agree with womble and Jesper here.  The easiest/best route is to fix the code.  Of course as sysadmins we often don't have that option, but even in that case there are enough tricks you can pull to get relatively cheap modern hardware to scale far-enough even though not truly horizontally.
I just wanted to post to comment on where you're concerned about losing the client-ip.  In any of the major L7/proxy solutions you can insert a X-Forwarded-For (or whatever you want) header in the request.  Then on the backend webserver receiving the request you can change the logfile format to log that value in the same space in the file it used to log the layer3 client ip.  That way any log parsing software doesn't see the difference (nor do you when tail'ing).
There's tradeoffs to everything and we haven't heard enough about your setup to know, but with the you-can't-go-wrong trio of ha-proxy, nginx, and varnish out there its probably a good idea to move your loadbalancing to a proxy-layer tool.   That will solve your ssl problem as well as afford you a host of new options like caching, content switching, and header manipulation.

A: Some random thoughts ;)
First, shoot the person that decided to use file based session data.  There is no way that reading / writing data from a file system is going to be faster than just going back to the source to pull the data you need.  This is about the WORST way of going about it.
I personally have never seen a situation where storing data in a session was better than just pulling it directly from the database as necessary.  That said, I have seen where using memcache or similar caching strategies can help a site scale to millions of users, but that isn't even in the same ball park as using sessions.
Second, you've just found the number one reason to not use sessions at all: load balancing.  FYI - Sticky does not mean Stuck.  Even with Sticky sessions turned on you run the very real possibility of the user being shuffled off to another server in the middle of using your app.  This will happen at the most inopportune times.  Sticky just means the load balancer will try to push the user back to the server they started at, but it is by no means a guarantee.
This point usually leads people to storing session back in the database...  Which I believe is a complete fail.  For session to work it has to be loaded and written on each page request.  When it's stored in a database (necessary for load balanced servers) this requires two server queries: the first to get the data, the second to write any updates.
The fail part is that people usually use sessions so they don't have to go back to the database to pull things like the users name...  But if the page has to query the database to load a session then ... well, you should be able to see the logic problem here.
Only it's worse with sessions... because they page processor has to write the session data back to the database at the end of the page lifecycle.. in case anything changed.  Which means instead of the one query to pull that user's name you end up with two. For every single page load.  Further it means serializing and deserializing the data which has it's own performance impact.
My point is: session is evil and you are usually better off without it.  Low traffic sites which only run on one web server don't need the performance boost that can occur; and high traffic sites running on a web farm are limited in scaling due to it.

A: Rather than use Haproxy on the front you can use round robin DNS to do coarse balancing between multiple SSL decoders then pass it to haproxy for the proper loadbalancing.

King's College, Aberdeen
College of University of Aberdeen
For other uses, see King's College (disambiguation).
King's College
King's College in Old Aberdeen, Scotland, the full title of which is The University and King's College of Aberdeen (Collegium Regium Abredonense), is a formerly independent university founded in 1495 and now an integral part of the University of Aberdeen. Its historic buildings are the centrepiece of the University of Aberdeen's Old Aberdeen campus, often known as the King's or King's College campus.
Old Aberdeen is part of the city of Aberdeen in Scotland. Old Aberdeen was originally a separate burgh, which was erected into a burgh of barony on 26 December 1489. It was incorporated into adjacent Aberdeen by Act of Parliament in 1891. It retains the status of a community council area.
Scotland is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. It covers the northern third of the island of Great Britain, with a border with England to the southeast, and is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the north and west, the North Sea to the northeast, the Irish Sea to the south, and more than 790 islands, including the Northern Isles and the Hebrides.
The University of Aberdeen is a public research university in Aberdeen, Scotland. It is an ancient university founded in 1495 when William Elphinstone, Bishop of Aberdeen and Chancellor of Scotland, petitioned Pope Alexander VI on behalf of James IV, King of Scots to establish King's College, making it Scotland's third-oldest university and the fifth-oldest in the English-speaking world. Today, Aberdeen is consistently ranked among the top 200 universities in the world and is ranked within the top 30 universities in the United Kingdom. In the 2019 Times Higher Education University Impact Rankings, Aberdeen was ranked 31st in the world for impact on society. Aberdeen was also named the 2019 Scottish University of the Year by The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide.
College buildings
King's College Chapel
The King's College Centre
Modern campus
The focal point of the college, as well as its oldest building, is the late 15th century King's College Chapel. A number of other historic buildings remain, with others being subject to renovation and rebuilding in the 18th and 19th centuries. In the early 20th century, a great deal of expansion saw the university buildings increase around the historic college buildings. In the later 20th century, the university expanded dramatically in size, dominating Old Aberdeen and expanding out from the High Street with a number of modern buildings.
King's College quad
King's College was the first university in Aberdeen, the third in Scotland and the fifth in the British Isles. In 1495, William Elphinstone, the relatively newly appointed Bishop of Aberdeen, petitioned Pope Alexander VI on behalf of King James IV to create the facility to cure the ignorance he had witnessed within his parish and in the north generally. A papal bull was issued in February 1495 (1494 in the calendar of the day) founding the university; a royal charter later that year recognised Aberdeen's status as equal to that of Scotland's two existing universities at Glasgow and St Andrews. As a former professor at the University of Paris, Elphinstone modelled the university very much on the continental European tradition. Hector Boece, a fellow professor at Paris, was awarded the status of first principal of the new institution.
Aberdeen is a city in northeast Scotland. It is Scotland's third most populous city, one of Scotland's 32 local government council areas and the United Kingdom's 39th most populous built-up area, with an official population estimate of 196,670 for the city of Aberdeen and 228,800 for the local council area.
The British Isles are a group of islands in the North Atlantic off the north-western coast of continental Europe that consist of the islands of Great Britain, Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Hebrides and over six thousand smaller isles. They have a total area of about 315,159 km2 and a combined population of almost 72 million, and include two sovereign states, the Republic of Ireland, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The islands of Alderney, Jersey, Guernsey, and Sark, and their neighbouring smaller islands, are sometimes also taken to be part of the British Isles, even though, as islands off the coast of France, they do not form part of the archipelago.
William Elphinstone was a Scottish statesman, Bishop of Aberdeen and founder of the University of Aberdeen.
It would not be until 1509, with the issuance of a charter by Elphinstone, that university life at King's truly began. Construction of the chapel began in 1498; it was consecrated in 1509 and dedicated to St Mary. By 1514, the university had some forty-two members in the form of both staff and students. [1]
Following the Reformation, King's College was purged of its Roman Catholic staff but remained largely resistant to change in its methods. George Keith, the fifth Earl Marischal, however was a moderniser within the college and supportive of the reforming ideas of Peter Ramus. [1] In April 1593 Keith founded a second university in the city, Marischal College. Initially, Marischal offered the principal of King's College a role in selecting its academics, however this was refused by the authorities of King's – cited as the first blow in a future rivalry.
The Scottish Reformation was the process by which Scotland broke with the Papacy and developed a predominantly Calvinist national Kirk (church), which was strongly Presbyterian in outlook. It was part of the wider European Protestant Reformation that took place from the sixteenth century.
George Keith, 5th Earl Marischal was a Scottish nobleman and Earl Marischal. He succeeded as earl on 7 October 1581, upon the death of his grandfather, William Keith, 4th Earl Marischal.
The title of Earl Marischal was created in the peerage of Scotland for William Keith, the Great Marischal of Scotland.
In common with Marischal, King's College supported the Jacobite cause and following the defeat of the 1715 rising both were largely purged of their academics and officials.
Jacobitism is the name of the political movement in Great Britain and Ireland that aims to restore the House of Stuart to the thrones of England, Scotland, and Ireland. The movement is named after Jacobus, the Latin form of James.
New Building, King's College
The building work on the main buildings of the college began in April 1500 [2] on marshy land, supported by large oak beams. The chapel is topped with an imperial crown, i.e. a closed crown, which appears to make a claim to imperial status for the Scottish monarchy. The original was lost in a storm in 1633, and the present crown is a recreation. King's College chapel retains more medieval woodwork than any other Scottish church, including the choir stalls and screen.
An Imperial Crown is a crown used for the coronation of emperors.
The Cromwell Tower was a building built during the 1650s-60s during the period of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland and Ireland, although finished after Charles II had been reinstalled as King. It was used for accommodation and had an ornate turret at its top. It continues its function as an observatory to this day. [3]
Elphinstone Hall
The 1930 construction of the Elphinstone Hall effectively created a two-quadrangle arrangement, connected to the original King's buildings. The Hall's front faces outwards, with its lawn effectively creating a central open space now bordered on the other sides by Old Aberdeen's High Street and the New Building ("New King's"), constructed in 1913.
King's College is now within the university's main Old Aberdeen campus and retains its original and historic quadrangle which houses a large conference centre and the university's chapel. Elphinstone Hall is used for functions, dining, and examinations. The rear of King's College is now used as a sports pavilion. Notably the old college buildings now provide a focal point to the wider university campus. While small in comparison with some of the newer constructions and areas, the building maintains a great deal of importance.
King's College Chapel is the main chapel used by the University of Aberdeen. Forming the north side of the original quadrangle of King's College, construction of the chapel began in 1498 and ended with the consecration of the building in 1509. [4] The most notable architectural feature of the Chapel is its Crown Tower, which has become an icon of the university as a whole. [5] The chapel is dedicated to the Trinity and the Blessed Virgin Mary in her Nativity, [6] [7] yet also commemorates a number of Scottish and British monarchs, as well as the patrons and founders of the university. The name particularly recalls the College's main patron, King James IV of Scotland. [8]
Particularly notable within the chapel are the choir stalls and rood screen, which date back to around 1509. These form the most complete mediaeval church interior in Scotland. [9] Since 1928, the antechapel has been used as the university's war memorial: five hundred and twenty-four students of the university are commemorated on its walls, having fallen in the First and Second World Wars. [10]
Bishop Elphinstone, the College's founder, and Hector Boece, its first Principal, were buried at the foot of the chancel, although a larger tomb to Elphinstone is located outside the college. [8] However, a later renovation of the chapel found the Bishop's body to be missing, its ultimate fate unknown. The design of the chapel, as well as its date of construction, were designed to evoke Solomon's Temple. [8]
The King's College Conference Centre is a conference and events space within the King's College building, established in 1991 within the former university library, yet maintaining many of the original features of the buildings. The conference centre housed the Scottish Parliament between 28 and 30 May 2002 whilst the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland took over its usual annual residence at New College, Edinburgh (the assembly hall of which it had lent the Scottish Parliament during the time of the construction of the new parliament building in Holyrood). During this time, the parliament was addressed by Her Majesty, the Queen as part of her Golden Jubilee tour of the United Kingdom.
The university owns much of the land and buildings on the campus, but others are in private ownership as private houses, shops and businesses. Many of these serve the university community. There are also extensive lawns, trees and large displays of flowers. These green spaces are popular places to sit in summer for students and staff.
The original buildings and High Street form the heart of the modern campus and are still used for teaching, to house academic departments, and other university activities. During the 20th century, the university purchased land around these buildings and constructed new ones to enable expansion. These buildings generally reflect the prevailing architecture of their period. The most recent building is the Sir Duncan Rice Library, completed in 2011.
Hector Boece, known in Latin as Hector Boecius or Boethius, was a Scottish philosopher and historian, and the first Principal of King's College in Aberdeen, a predecessor of the University of Aberdeen.
The ancient universities of Scotland are medieval and renaissance universities which continue to exist in the present day. The majority of the ancient universities of the British Isles are located within Scotland, and have a number of distinctive features in common, being governed by a series of measures laid down in the Universities (Scotland) Acts 1858–1966. The Universities (Scotland) Act 1966 uses the term 'older universities' to refer to St Andrews, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Edinburgh. The same act provided for the independence from St Andrews of Dundee, which was then granted a similar form of governance under its royal charter.
Dunnottar Castle is a ruined medieval fortress located upon a rocky headland on the northeastern coast of Scotland, about 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Stonehaven. The surviving buildings are largely of the 15th and 16th centuries, but the site is believed to have been fortified in the Early Middle Ages. Dunnottar has played a prominent role in the history of Scotland through to the 18th-century Jacobite risings because of its strategic location and defensive strength. Dunnottar is best known as the place where the Honours of Scotland, the Scottish crown jewels, were hidden from Oliver Cromwell's invading army in the 17th century. The property of the Keiths from the 14th century, and the seat of the Earl Marischal, Dunnottar declined after the last Earl forfeited his titles by taking part in the Jacobite rebellion of 1715. The castle was restored in the 20th century and is now open to the public.
Marischal College is a large granite building on Broad Street in the centre of Aberdeen in north-east Scotland, and since 2011 has acted as the headquarters of Aberdeen City Council. However, the building was constructed for and is on long-term lease from the University of Aberdeen, which still uses parts of the building to house a museum and for ceremonial events. Today, it provides corporate office space and public access to council services, adjacent to the Town House, the city's historic seat of local government. Many Aberdonians consider Marischal College to be an icon of the "Granite City" and to symbolise the zenith of Aberdeen's granite-working industry.
Nicholas West, was an English bishop and diplomatist, born at Putney, and educated at Eton and at King's College, Cambridge, of which he became a fellow in 1486. He also had periods of study at Oxford and Bologna.
Marischal Museum was a museum in Aberdeen, Scotland, specialising in anthropology and artifacts from cultures around the world. Part of the University of Aberdeen, it was situated at Marischal College, a grand neo-gothic building said to be the second-largest granite building in the world, displaying collections owned by the University. The museum is closed to the public, but now operates at the University of Aberdeen's museum collections centre.
The Aberdeen Breviary is a 16th-century Scottish Catholic breviary. It was the first book to be printed in Scotland.
St Andrew's Cathedral, or the Cathedral Church of Saint Andrew, is a cathedral of the Scottish Episcopal Church situated in the Scottish city of Aberdeen. It is the see of the Bishop of Aberdeen and Orkney who is the Ordinary of the Diocese of Aberdeen and Orkney.
Education in Aberdeen, Scotland has a strong tradition with two Universities and Scotland's largest further education college.
The Architecture of Aberdeen, Scotland is known for the use of granite as the principal construction material. The stone, which has been quarried in and around the city, has given Aberdeen the epithet The Granite City, or more romantically, and less commonly used, the Silver City, after the mica in the stone which sparkles in the sun.
The Bridge of Dee or Brig o' Dee is a road bridge over the River Dee in Aberdeen, Scotland. The term is also used for the surrounding area of the city. Dating from 1527, the bridge crosses at what was once the City of Aberdeen's southern boundary. This was the site of a battle in 1639 between the Royalists under Viscount Aboyne and the Covenanters who were led by the Marquess of Montrose and Earl Marischal. This was the only substantial action of the First Bishops' War, and it took place after the peace treaty had already been signed.
Elphinstone Hall is a large hall belonging to the University of Aberdeen, located at their King's College campus in Old Aberdeen. It is a 20th-century building which replaced the "Common Hall" and is named after Bishop William Elphinstone, the founder of the University. An arcade dominates the front of the building, behind which lie a reception area and then the large, wood-panelled hall with hammerbeam roof. Portraits of founding fathers of the university and other key figures from its history line the walls. A related suite of luxurious rooms called the Linklater Rooms run along the arcade, named after writer Eric Linklater, a graduate of the university. The hall has an organ, and the complex includes catering facilities as well as cloakroom facilities. In front of the hall is a large lawn, which is popular with students and staff of the university in summer. In winter, the university places a large Christmas tree on this lawn. The hall is currently the venue for all University of Aberdeen graduation ceremonies.
Alexander Marshall MacKenzie was a Scottish architect responsible for prestigious projects including the headquarters of the Isle of Man Banking Company in Douglas, and Australia House and the Waldorf Hotel in London.
The School of Law at the University of Aberdeen dates back to the University's foundation in 1495. Today, it is one of the largest law schools in Scotland, admitting some two hundred and fifty students each year, as well as over forty international exchange students.
The University of Glasgow Memorial Chapel is an interfaith chapel at the University of Glasgow, Scotland. It was consecrated on 4 October 1929, and is dedicated to the memory of the former students and staff of the University who lost their lives in the First World War. It is located in the West Quadrangle of the Main Building of the University, and was designed by John James Burnet. The chapel is protected as a category A listed building.
Canon Alexander Galloway was a 16th-century cleric from Aberdeen in Scotland. He was not only a Canon of St Machar's Cathedral, he was a Royal Notary and Diocesan Clerk for James IV and James V of Scotland; vicar of the Parishes of Fordyce, Bothelny, and Kinkell (1516-1552); five times Rector of King's College – University of Aberdeen; Master of Works on the Bridge of Dee in Aberdeen and for Greyfriars Church in Aberdeen; and Chancellor of the Diocese of Aberdeen. According to Steven Holmes, he was one of the most notable liturgists of his time, designing many fine examples of Sacrament Houses across the North-East of Scotland. He was a friend of and adviser to Hector Boece, the first Principal of the University of Aberdeen, as well as Bishop Elphinstone, Chancellor of Scotland and Gavin Dunbar. He was an avid anti-Reformationist being a friend of Jacobus Latomus and Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus and clerics in the Old University of Leuven. Along with Gavin Dunbar, Galloway designed and had built the western towers of the cathedral and designed the heraldic ceiling, featuring 48 coats of arms in three rows of sixteen. More than anyone else he contributed to the development of the artistry of Scottish Lettering. He has a claim to be what some might call "a Renaissance Man".

Anders Invest is different. We tell a different story. The story of equality and stewardship. Of reciprocity and accountability. To which you can entrust your assets or business with confidence.

Rental housing focus and working method
Investment focus Approach Our values
The team feels at home in the rental housing segment. Due to our extensive network, we often come into contact with interesting residential objects at an early stage. With our knowledge and experience, we can quickly assess the extent to which the homes are suitable for our Fund. The available resources in the Fund also allow us to respond quickly to good investment opportunities. Vacancy risks are very limited due to the focus on the fast-growing segment of small households.
We focus on rental properties with at least 20 residential units per complex. Mainly homes aimed at 1 or 2-person households in the medium-cost segment. These can be homes under the liberalization limit of approx. € 737 rent / month, but also houses in the medium-rent segment (€ 700 - € 1,200 rent / month), located in and near medium-sized cities or in regions with a strong economic structure. Not located in shrinking regions. Locations with public transport connections. Energy label A, B or C.
At the Rental housing fund, we focus on locations with a minimum size of 20-25 housing units. The current investment volume is around € 4 million to € 30 million per location.
Active and involved
In the Netherlands, the share of one-person households will increase in the coming years, and with it the loneliness problem. We are open to housing projects where tenants are able to meet each other in a natural way, such as beguinages in a contemporary jacket. But also projects where facilities are offered to compensate for a perhaps somewhat smaller living space (think of washing machines, flexible workspaces, lounge areas, fitness, etc.).
We are committed owners and think long term. We work from our values and consider it important to keep talking to tenants about this. We would like to work with enthusiastic partners who want to work with us to increase tenant satisfaction and the stability of the homes. We do not push the boundaries when it comes to financing.
We think it is important that our tenants known the owner of their home. We are therefore also an active and committed homeowner who will take care of a caretaker on site as much as possible. Short lines of complaints and suggestions. We also work closely and confidentially with developers and our own investors, who also run into real estate opportunities.
Long-term oriented
Reciprocity is that you treat another person the way you want to be treated yourself. Respect for mutual interests is the starting point. We do not enter into unilateral agreements in which only one party maximizes its profit. No big contracts and legal tricks. We always go for win-win situations.
Long-term orientation. Responsible for the environment. Investing in people and relationships. Efficiency. Job satisfaction. In addition, the long term is also sustainable. Sustainability is a trend, but actually acting sustainably is a challenge. This means, among other things, that we take the tension between (short-term) financial results, employee development and environmental responsibility seriously. Only then will sustainable value creation be created, also for shareholders. We want to be able to account for our deals to future generations.
Satisfied tenants ensure an attractive living environment and fewer changes in residents. You can only achieve this together. This means that everyone must be involved, there must be targeted and broad communication where contradiction is a source of inspiration. This way you build trust and commitment.

Tom House. Winding Down The Road.
Posted on November 20, 2012 by Paul Kerr
Much as Blabber'n'Smoke digs all sorts of Americana related music there's a special corner reserved for those artists who , mindless of fashions or tends, have a connection to the mother lode, the feel , the spirit and the essence of what has been called old weird Americana. Essentially cult artists they may be lone pickers or surround themselves with all sorts of stringed and banged instruments but their one common factor is generally their invisibility, at least to the general public. The mavericks, the misfits, hiding under a stone, it's a joy to discover yet another one. I'm sure that this hidden status is not their preferred choice (at least for some, others will scurry away from the spotlight) and a few more dollars in their pockets wouldn't go amiss so it's almost a public service announcement to try and wise up folk to the likes of Michael Hurley, Peter Stampfel, Baby Gramps and others we've mentioned on Blabber'n'Smoke.
Tom House strikes us as mining the same vein as the above trio. Despite being championed by the likes of Greil Marcus he has flown under our radar until Winding Down The Road opened our eyes and ears. A sixty something Nashville musician House's first recordings were on a Bloodshot Records compilation called "Nashville, The other Side of the Alley Insurgent Country Vol. 3" (which actually resides on the Blabber'n'Smoke shelves) released back in 1996 before releasing seven albums of what Marcus has called "folk music made for ordinary people by devils, a cruel recasting of country music as an extraordinary collection of warnings and threats." However, as a creative force he has been going at it since the seventies, composing songs and writing poetry while holding down a day job and apparently fighting his battles with the bottle.
Somehow, House has fallen in with the good folk at Mud Records, in particular Brock Zeman who produces and plays all over the album along with a very simpatico band providing an authentic sounding dirt trodden and at times spooky backdrop for House's song poems which he delivers in a gnarled and wizened voice. The band can be spare and old timey minstrel sounding or deliver a stone solid groove but ultimately Zeman has set up a magnificent canvas for House to paint his words on. And what words. His battle with the booze and his poetic past might lead to comparisons with the likes of Bukowksi and strangely enough some of this album recalls Tom Russell's album Hotwalker which paid tribute in part to the old postman. Another lost soul recalled is Vic Chesnutt particularly in the gloriously unhinged title song which closes the album, a wracked solo delivery eventually metamorphoses into a brief guitar laden epiphany. It's not all doom and gloom as House occasionally comes across like Roger Miller's sly contributions to the Disney cartoon of Robin Hood. However even when he deceptively commences a song with Miller's laid back country scat as on the jaunty Pappy Closed the Book the content is bloody as a psychopathic cop shrugs off the death of his squeeze. Throughout the album House casts a spotlight on a dark and dank underbelly, forensically and poetically examining the state of the nation. The spoken word Paradox With Suitcase is elliptic and sounds fantastic. Willie MacBroom crackles like a pre-war song as House tells the tale of a drifter who casually kills but for the most part House eschews stories and paints impressionistic pictures of folk lost, seeking a meaning to life, salvation. Jericho touches on the religious wars being waged currently and could be seen as a plea from the damaged men and women with post traumatic stress disorder retuning from foreign field, nevertheless it's a tour de force, like an ancient blues holler it shivers with dread and gloom as Zeman recreates the past perfectly. All of the songs here are worth hearing and hearing again and House stakes his claim to be considered a worthy portal to the essence of American folklore.

SEROCS premieres title track from And When the Sky Was Opened!
Multi-National death metal wizards Serocs have partnered with Metal Injection for the exclusive premiere of "And When the Sky Was Opened." The title track from the band's forthcoming new album is unyielding violence set to music. Check it out now at: http://www.metalinjection.net/av/serocs-new-track-and-when-the-sky-was-opened-is-a-quick-lesson-on-getting-your-skull-caved-in
And When the Sky Was Opened is a technical opus that explores the psychology of war and what world conflicts do to the human mind, both as an invader and as the invaded. Following the positive feedback from their previous album, The Next, Serocs has perfected those elements to create this extreme masterpiece of controlled chaos. Not only is And When the Sky Was Opened bound together by lyrical concepts, the album features a cohesive musical theme that sees all eight tracks coalesce to create a singular musical experience. Described by the band as a much more varied experience than its predecessors, the album is a double-edged sword that features some of Serocs' most technical and brutal material alongside their slowest and most crushing sections to date. And When the Sky Was Opened was mixed by Neil Kernon [Nile] and mastered by Alan Douches.
Comatose Music will release And When the Sky Was Opened on November 27th

This chap's name appears to be Mafa Mianmaud Bamba, and he is a localised celebrity of some sort, at least for his mad hairdo. He was standing near a wall, with a rack of postcards of himself which he was giving away for free, and smiling at people. A number of people posed for photos with him. I don't know whether he has any other claim to fame other than his hair.
A woman with an antique barrel organ and a pram full of small dogs in hand-knitted woollen cardigans. She would turn the handle and the dogs would yap. Almost like something out of the English equivalent of a Jeunet & Caro movie or something.
Marxist chic appears to be big in the yoof-oriented parts of London, with Soviet-flag T-shirts and numerous items of Che merchandise all over market stalls. In fact, not far from where this picture was taken, someone was selling Che handbags. This particular variant of the icon appears on the railway bridge across Portobello Rd.
