Make Presidential Debates Worth Watching
Jeff Jacoby · Jan. 13, 2020
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but another Democratic presidential debate is coming. It's scheduled for 9 p.m. Tuesday at Drake University in Des Moines. I'm planning to watch, but only because I have to for work. You, on the other hand, are under no such obligation, and if you're like most Americans, you have no intention of tuning in.
In the first of these Democratic debates last June, the total TV audience (over two nights) topped 33 million. In the second debate, in July, the audience totaled 19.4 million. In the third, it was down to 14 million. It dropped again for the fourth, and for the fifth, and by the time candidates and moderators walked onto the stage at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles for the sixth of these affairs, the audience had dwindled to a mere 6.1 million. How low can it go?
Voters usually grow more, not less, interested as an election campaign unfolds, so by now vast multitudes should be avidly following every word of these debates. Instead, multitudes are doing the opposite, repelled by these tiresome, shallow, and predictable scrimmages. Presidential? That's the last thing they are. These gaudy TV events, with their high-tech gimcracks and game-show atmosphere, aren't forums for grappling seriously with genuine disagreements over policy. They're arenas for silly entertainment. Like WWE Wrestling, minus the gravitas, as someone once said.
The deficiencies of our televised debates are an old story. As far back as 1990, the late Walter Cronkite called them an "unconscionable fraud." If you've watched even one of these encounters, you know that they involve no actual debating. The candidates aren't interested in vigorously contending for competing policy differences. Their goals are to deploy their carefully honed talking points, to avoid stumbling into a gaffe, and — if the opportunity presents itself — to zing an opponent with an extemporaneous rebuttal carefully planned in advance.
Nowhere is it written that White House hopefuls must debate. Until Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy met in a CBS studio in Chicago in September 1960, no presidential candidates had ever faced off in that way. But if we are to have debates, they ought to be more than two hours of grandstanding soundbite theater. Their purpose should be not to see who can come up with the most memorable punchline or the sharpest opposition-research barb, but to give voters some insight into the thinking and substance of people who want to be president, and some insight into how they would conduct themselves in the highest office in the land.
How to do that? I offer four improvements:
1. Debate without moderators. If moderators weren't needed for the Constitutional convention debates in Philadelphia in 1787 or for the Lincoln-Douglas Senate debates in 1858, they certainly aren't needed for presidential candidates in 2020. Let two or more candidates sit down at a table with a single microphone and an agreed-upon topic, and have at it for 90 minutes, on air. Viewers could draw their own conclusions: Who drove the discussion? Whose arguments were persuasive? Who had facts and logic and their command? Who merely pontificated?
2. Discuss books. Great literature can shed light on challenging dilemmas and highlight the power of human character and motivation to resolve them. Why not invite candidates to read a classic work, then appear on camera to wrestle with the issues it raises? After studying Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, for example, they could analyze why Brutus feared Caesar's ambition, and whether his assassination was justified. They could take up Lord of the Flies, William Golding's 1954 masterpiece, and explore whether human beings instinctively seek peaceful cooperation, or gravitate to violence and domination. They could read Martin Luther King Jr.'s Letter from Birmingham Jail, and debate how a free society can recognize an unjust law and when civil disobedience is an appropriate strategy for changing such laws.
3. Workshop a crisis. How would a president react in an emergency? Obviously we can't be certain in advance, but candidates could be confronted with an unexpected scenario and forced to "respond" in real time: An Air Force fighter crashes over the Persian Gulf, and an Islamist terror group is taking credit. The "Big One" has struck along California's San Andreas fault, leaving Pomona and San Bernardino in ruins. Cyber-anarchists simultaneously paralyze Bank of America, Chase, and Capital One with a computer virus, unleashing havoc in financial markets and triggering a 1,000-point stock market selloff. What would the candidates do first? Whom would they reach out to? What information would they need? What choices would they face? What would they tell the nation?
4. Conduct formal debates. Real debate could have real value, if candidates were given sufficient time to make their case and rebut their rivals. Instead of the 45-second soundbites they're allowed now, with moderators skipping from question to question, a formal debate would require each participant to address at length a central proposition — e.g., "A wall should be built along the Mexican border" or "The $21 trillion national debt must be paid down." Candidates would be given a block of eight minutes each to make their case, plus two minutes for rebuttal after the others have spoken. The moderator's only role would be to keep time — no questions, no interruptions. Viewers would decide for themselves whose arguments seemed most thoughtful, prudent, realistic, and presidential.
Any of these variations would elevate the tone and deepen the content of the "debates" our candidates engage in now. American democracy deserves better than the spectacle of bickering, quibbling would-be presidents lined up like contestants on "Family Feud." After all, what is the point of debates that fewer and fewer voters want to watch?

Q: How to set a Bool value to be different for each UITableView Section What I want to do here is set it so that if top3ArrayForSection.count-1 < 1, set the _results bool value of that respective section to NO, and so on. What's happening instead, is that _results is set to NO or YES for the entire table overall, so that I end up with a result like this:

When only the "xperia Z3 compact unlocked" section should say "no items found etc." because it has no cells, the other sections cells shouldn't.
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    NSDictionary *currentSectionDictionary = _matchCenterArray[section];
    NSArray *top3ArrayForSection = currentSectionDictionary[@"Top 3"];

    if (top3ArrayForSection.count-1 < 1){
        _results = NO;
        _rowCount = 1;
    }
    else if(top3ArrayForSection.count-1 >= 1){
        _results = YES;
        _rowCount = top3ArrayForSection.count-1;
    }

    return _rowCount;
}

// Cell layout
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    // Initialize cell
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (!cell) {
        // if no cell could be dequeued create a new one
        cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    }

    // No cell seperators = clean design
    tableView.separatorColor = [UIColor clearColor];

    if (_results == NO) {

        // title of the item
        cell.textLabel.text = @"No items found, but we'll keep a lookout for you!";
        cell.textLabel.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:12];

    }

    else if (_results == YES) {

        // title of the item
        cell.textLabel.text = _matchCenterArray[indexPath.section][@"Top 3"][indexPath.row+1][@"Title"];
        cell.textLabel.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:14];

        // price of the item
        cell.detailTextLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"$%@", _matchCenterArray[indexPath.section][@"Top 3"][indexPath.row+1][@"Price"]];
        cell.detailTextLabel.textColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0/255.0f green:127/255.0f blue:31/255.0f alpha:1.0f];

        // image of the item
        NSData *imageData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:_matchCenterArray[indexPath.section][@"Top 3"][indexPath.row+1][@"Image URL"]]];
        [[cell imageView] setImage:[UIImage imageWithData:imageData]];

    }

    return cell;

}

A: Your instance variable _results is one-dimensional. You could replace it with an NSArray and store the values individually, or you could change the logic in your code as such:
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
  NSDictionary *currentSectionDictionary = _matchCenterArray[section];
  NSArray *top3ArrayForSection = currentSectionDictionary[@"Top 3"];

  return (top3ArrayForSection.count-1 < 1) ? 1 : top3ArrayForSection.count-1;
}

// Cell layout
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
  // Initialize cell
  static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
  UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
  if (!cell) {
    // if no cell could be dequeued create a new one
    cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
  }

  // No cell seperators = clean design
  tableView.separatorColor = [UIColor clearColor];

  NSDictionary *currentSectionDictionary = _matchCenterArray[indexPath.section];
  NSArray *top3ArrayForSection = currentSectionDictionary[@"Top 3"];

  if (top3ArrayForSection.count-1 < 1) {

    // title of the item
    cell.textLabel.text = @"No items found, but we'll keep a lookout for you!";
    cell.textLabel.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:12];

  }

  else {

    // title of the item
    cell.textLabel.text = _matchCenterArray[indexPath.section][@"Top 3"][indexPath.row+1][@"Title"];
    cell.textLabel.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:14];

    // price of the item
    cell.detailTextLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"$%@", _matchCenterArray[indexPath.section][@"Top 3"][indexPath.row+1][@"Price"]];
    cell.detailTextLabel.textColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0/255.0f green:127/255.0f blue:31/255.0f alpha:1.0f];

    // image of the item
    NSData *imageData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:_matchCenterArray[indexPath.section][@"Top 3"][indexPath.row+1][@"Image URL"]]];
    [[cell imageView] setImage:[UIImage imageWithData:imageData]];

  }

  return cell;

KROSMOZ - Letter to the community
By Extreal,
November 18, 2015 in Ankama Announcements
Extreal 1814
Extreal
[23:10] (Guild) Capngoat: you're an ass >>
Dofus IGNs:Eretyr / Gato-Gato
No idea if this will end up with an official english translation, but for now here is a google translate which I will try to tighten up when I get some time Should seem like it isn't written by Laoshi now. In essence it's a letter about what is planned for all the different Ankama Products over the next few months.
Want communication
Still want more communication
YES !! So here's a toast?!?!
Here for some time now that we have been thinking about a way to better communicate with you on all issues and projects related to the Krosmoz. We were looking to find a way for you to participate in our reflections to better gather your opinions and ideas. The real big difference from when we started is that today, you are very numerous and listening to everyone is an impossible challenge ...
That does not excuse anything but it is a real challenge. Whatever our thoughts, our desires, our way to share things with you, they never do and never will unanimously because many will always feel "left out".
Based on this fact without appeal, we have been looking for a few months for a way to remedy that.
I'm not saying that we will find the perfect solution right away, but we will offer you many things hoping that it will eventually work.
In this context, from 2016, we will propose a Krosmoz newsletter dealing with all themes (games, projects, comics ...) related to the Krosmoz. You will get to know everything or just to focus on projects that interest you.
We must take this message as the first fruits of what we want to implement next year.
And what I write to you today is to emphasize again a crucial point of our vision. We have been trying to share with you for many years and I think we will talk never enough.
At Ankama our will is to create (through the Krosmoz) an evolving universe. Many of you are clinging exclusively to the game and do not want to hear about what's around. I can understand that. However, our vision / want / need is a working UNIVERSE, not just a game. The game is important, but we believe it is the overall work that is most important.
Only we, I think, work this way in the entertainment world. We are independent, which sometimes makes things very complicated, but it also has the advantage of allowing us to push our artistic vision to the end without concession.
Be aware of how far the teams for 10 years. DOFUS and WAKFU MMO, despite changes that do not always please you, have become huge in terms of content. Animation department teams delivered three seasons of cartoons that today are considered the very best in France. And there is a film that is about to release on the big screen in the coming months.
I know that deep down, most of you are proud of what we do and support us but I assure you that the violent and repeated attacks on forums tend to weaken our resolve.
Our Community Managers are on the front lines daily to talk with you and work to your expectations. They will continue this everyday because what you hear is a priority, whatever you may think. We have large defects and our communication is sometimes inadequate. Of course, you have the right to largely blame us ... But do it with the right words please.
This letter aims to put things straight and offer you a new operation in 2016, but we'll get that if everyone (you / us) plays along.
The idea is to tell you about everything, without limits, and let you participate in the possible choice of the next updates.
To initiate this new communication format, I asked the teams to make a point on their respective projects. So you will receive a big flood of information, but if you make the effort to read everything, you will know as much as us on all on which we work.
I will end this letter with a link on different forums to gather your ideas and desires, and to have the best possible exchange between us.
Your Community Managers will join me here to comment on our future events and be at your side each day. Feel free to share with them.
Happy reading and I am happy to share,
DOFUS MMO - Update of December 8th, 2015
Haven Bags
We have announced yesterday the release of Haven Bags. A dev blog has been posted to go into the details of this new feature. Reading your comments on forums, I identified a majority of people are satisfied and others have a few questions.
If I summarize what I've seen, you have questions about the background compared to WAKFU and their usefulness in relation to houses. Others would have preferred new PVM content or class reworks.
The BACKGROUND compared to WAKFU: the God Enutrof is the creator of the Havens-Bags. They were once offered in the age of DOFUS but all were much later destroyed after the Chaos of Ogrest. He donated them again in the days of WAKFU to help the inhabitants of the World of Twelve to survive various disasters. See you in game for more details about their presence.
I also picked up on a few messages pointing to the Eliotropes as an example of errors in consistency. I have already announced for certain that they were not a "spin" and you will have proof of that soon. I can not give any spoilers on the subject, but I would like you all to be aware that we sometimes work on projects which take place over several years. We know where we are going in terms of the storyline, but enforcement can then take considerable time. The Eliotropes were created as part of upcoming major events. You will have all the answers in 2016.
The InterServer Kolossium or KIS
You have been waiting for it for a while and it was supposed to be our big feature of December. Nothing tells us that this will not be the case but we have serious doubts. And it is for this reason that we have not announced it. The KIS is currently in alpha testing and a patch of improvement is expected this week. Depending on its effectiveness, we will make it available (or not) during the December update. We must remain vigilant and ensure that all features work just as well as in the classic Kolossium. In any case, I beg you to believe that we will do everything to make it available as quickly as possible.
The Huppermages
The class is finished and was built in conjunction with the DOFUS film. It is very important for the successful continuation of our animation studio and we naturally have scheduled the update around its release. The new class, but also new PVM areas will berriving early this year. December seems a little empty because we have shifted outputs to the end of January / early February to be fitting with the release of the film.
This class will be offered to those attending the film première and will be accessible to all players after a few months.
The Haven Bags will be available in the 2.32 Update on 8 December.

Huppermage class will be available on the Beta server from 27 November.
The class will be available in preview from 9 January 2016.
Discover Huppermages video! https://youtu.be/AurEAOIg-KM
A word from [XyaLe]
We have heard your concerns about the arrival of Haven Bags in DOFUS with a background perspective, and we understand it. However, we always made sure to be consistent with ourselves, even if we have to do this with rare adjustments. The world of Krosmoz is extremely rich and we are very proud of it, and it is important for us to continue to develop without limiting our potential transmedia content.
Also be sure that all the DOFUS team, and even beyond, is fully aware of the importance that KIS is in your eyes and the extent of your expectations. It does not feel under pressure at all, no no!
Regarding Huppermages, we want to offer various events and contests so that the class can be unlocked through your activities around the game. We believe there will also be ways for the EN/international community. It is important for us that you do not feel neglected because of the borders that separate you from these previews, more so when you were the first to want to discover the film in the cinema.
We also have the desire to get involved as much as possible in our current news and make a suitable information relay for the community. We would particularly focus on the relationships we have with our YouTubers, Fansites and more broadly with the players invested in our universe. It is in this perspective that we have organized the Community Day on 26 November, where ten players can come and test the Huppermage in a preview and run a livestream from our premises.
Finally, beyond the updates of the game, we think it is also crucial to offer activities to diversify your daily time on DOFUS; animations we imagine coming to you in the game, on the forums, social networks and even IRL. In this sense, we will invite you shortly to participate in a competitive event that we have been preparing in secret for several weeks and, I hope, will contribute to the development of eSports in DOFUS.
DOFUS TOUCH
DOFUS TOUCH is tablet porting of DOFUS. However, there are some differences with the desktop version:
There is no synchronization with existing servers.
We will launch the game on an older version (the 2.14).
The UI is reviewed for the tablet format.
There will be 15 classes (so no Eliotrope nor Huppermage).
A new economic model will be in place, specific to the tablet. There will be no subscription system and we will integrate a new currency: the Goultines. Whether the items in markets or items in the shop, everything will be purchasable in Kamas or Goultines (valid reservation in Apple's business model). We will give more details soon regarding this model and balance in play.
The game will be released in the first half of 2016 and thereafter our goal is to create as many links as possible with current MMO release.
DOFUS TOUCH will unfortunately not be playable on phones. The ergonomics of the actual game does not allow it.
We are aware of problems encountered by our Beta Testers that are currently due to decreased activity of some players, and we are agreed on the need to develop this core of players to offer a profitable gaming experience to the Closed Beta. The team in charge of the project is actively working on the version of DOFUS Touch on Android, to allow wider deployment of play and invite more players without environmental restrictions.
DOFUS, BOOK I: JULITH
Despite the horrors of the day before, we had the honour to present the movie premiere to some of you at the International Film Festival of Arras on Saturday. Thank you to everyone who made the trip. It was a great time spent with you and we will do everything to recreate it and as promised, come to you throughout France.
The next event is in Paris on 22 November at the PIFFF (Paris International Fantastic Film Festival) with gifts at the exit of the room.
There is a big event on 9 and 10 January at Kinepolis Lomme. We expect a small convention.
We will inform you as soon as possible all preview dates to be held in early January to 3 February.
Find all the information related to the film on the dedicated website http://www.dofus-le-film.com/fr, on Facebook and on Twitter.
As a bonus, a small comic strip:
A word from [Poupik]
We have often happened to embark on projects without knowing how to do it: this was the case in launching the first volume of the manga DOFUS, producing the first episodes of the WAKFU TV series and wanting to start our own tabletop game. With the film, we reach another level. This is something totally new. To give you an idea, it is like being on top of a cliff ready to jump into the void, to say that the jump is going to be crazy, you will love the moment but we do not know well where it will land. That is what we now are experiencing, and that's why we want you to experience it with us.
Tot often says it but it's thanks to you that we are here today. And it will be thanks to you that this film works. We need you to be our ambassadors, to know the universe around you. Also we want to tell you right away, over the next few weeks you will be put to work: whether on social networks (Facebook, Twitter or Youtube) or through all the community meetings that we are putting in place. Our goal is to come your way, make you happy and make us happy. Because sessions like last Saturday in Arras, make us feel a world of good.
And since we need you, we also want to thank you for the support and carry the film by offering the Huppermages: in the previews to start and then the movie. We are also considering a system that allows all people going to see the film at its release February 3 to come away with the new class.
We are putting in place beautiful things, a beautiful partnership and you will know more soon. It has been in the works for several months and we look forward for when you can see the new baby!
WAKFU MMO
WAKFU will be entitled to a nice update in December.
On the program, you will discover the school of Huppermages, an system to transfer characters account to account and chapter 3 of the Quest of Nations.
See a first screenshot below:
But there is a more important issue we need to talk. Many of you seem to want the change of all servers into free to play. However, when we actually discuss it, apart from what we read on the forums, we find that you are also likely not to want this change.
We propose instead to relaunch a survey and decide once and for all on the subject, if you find that convenient.
The team is in the process of restructuring and we will announce our first big news of January to present the different members.
A word from [Recssen]
You have repeatedly expressed on the forums with the release of Heroes to notify us of your desire to have an system to transfer characters between accounts. Your expectations have been heard and the idea was raised internally so that such a service, answering any of your needs, could emerge. This will be now done with this new system.
The difference between the economic model of the Aerafal and Dathura servers is a very important subject for you and there were also many discussionsinternally and it was not on your side. As Tot stated, the switch to free to play for all servers is a decision that would involve a change that not everyone wants necessarily. This final survey will be definitively fixed and then we will take the appropriate decision.
The WAKFU team is currently undergoing restructuring, which involves many changes. Despite this period of change, we continue anyway to accompany you every day. Your comments are read, heard, synthesized and discussed internally. Decisions are made on many topics and even if we might appear as having a lack of communication at times, we always try to surprise you with new listings, as with the Huppermages right now for example.
School of Huppermages, transfer of characters and Chapter 3 of Nations in December.
Consideration of whether to make the FR server free to play.
WAKFU SERIES 3
I can also confirm that there will be a season 3 of WAKFU. I can not talk about our partners at the moment, but it is with great pleasure that I find once more the Brotherhood of the TOFU for new adventures. It's Fabrice Nzinzi that ensures the realization and I decided to take responsibility for only the writing and I am particularly pleased to work on this new season because, for once, we can create a real soap opera, from A to Z Get ready, pre-production suggests it will be very very big.
This new season will be launched late next year and we will work on links with the WAKFU MMO.
Similarly, we will make use of our next news to present the team. But already I can provide you some visuals that I find quite striking. The team took a few ideas from the film and is returning to season 3 in force. I think it is not the end of our surprises.
Release of Season 3 in 2016.
It will comprise of only 13 episodes of 26 minutes and will be extended if successful.
Krosmaster is gracefully out of its beta and is invited onto Steam. The game begins to find its community and we look forward to release it on tablet to be able to play it in our beds or the bathroom ... Early in February, you can experience an extension related to the film. The basic Krosmaster Arena box will be replaced by a new box in which you can discover a more basic coverage. The characters will be integrated simultaneously into the video game.
A TV show is also in discussion with some channels. We hope to give you more information about this project by the end of the year.
A word from [Dewit]
The release of Krosmaster Arena on Steam was a great moment for us, and many players have discovered the game since that time. Do not hesitate to use all the tools that Steam offers to talk about Krosmaster around you: the more you do the more we will be visible and the more the community will grow, and let us better focus the game!
Next highlight: Championship of France on 28 and 29 November. Find all the info here. http://www.krosmaster.com/fr/actualites/news/443836-cdf-lieu-terrain-jeu
Steam output here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/329790
The game is scheduled to be release on tablet during the first half 2016.
Some time ago, we told you about the latest addition to the family in which you play as the 12 gods of Krosmoz: KROSMAGA.
Its development is moving fast, and after being introduced recently on the Essen show in Germany, we expect to introduce an Alpha Test in December in France. On this occasion, we will select a few thousand players to have a first look.
Krosmaga is also going to be available for PC / MAC / tablet and just like with Krosmaster, it will include the different monsters and heroes of the Krosmoz.
But a small video is better than big speeches, I invite you to discover two fights to get an idea:
Thank you to all the brave who took the time to read this fat pad to the end. Again, compared to what I wanted to say earlier, it is only a first base. Our goal is to offer you something far more flexible and successful in 2016.
In the meantime, I invite you to join us on the respective forums to discuss and exchange thoughts on different topics.
There should be forum links here but I'm assuming you can all find those yourself.

Is this what I think it is or is this a mistranslation
It's what you think it is. Over on Wakfu we have a system known as the Hero system. It allows us to us other characters on the same account all on one client. A lot of the players voiced that it made their alts, that they've worked hard on over the last few years useless. With a system like this we'll be able to move characters on to our main account, so we can then have a giant team while only logging one client.

I just read on the Official Forums that they are looking into the account to account character transfers for Dofus. This may mean they are also looking into this Hero System Wakfu has. I sure hope so! I don't see why one can have it an another can not. Other than it may cost them some money on account subscriptions, but would get some money back via the charge it would cost to change account anyway.
We can dream.

Posted on October 30, 2016 Posted in Cakes	.
I have tried time and time again to make an amazing sweet treat with blueberries. As the flavor is quite subtle in a mix of other flavors it can get lost.
So I decided to come up with a recipe that really heroes the blueberry.
This time around I opted for a sponge cake pudding. The sponge cake element would do a great job of soaking up the juice, amplifying the flavor.
Adding cardamom and lemon complimented the blueberry and intensify the soft blueberry flavor.
This recipe definitely celebrates the blueberry and is ever so tasty!
Preheat oven to 180c degrees and line a 25cm x 30cm cake tin with baking paper.
Beat the eggs in a bowl with electric beaters until thick and creamy.
Add the sugar slowly while beating until the sugar dissolves.
Triple sift the flours into the egg mix and fold until just combine.
Add the butter to the boiling water and stir to combine.
Once the butter mix has cooled pour into the egg mix and fold until just combine.
Pour the batter into the cake tin and bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
Allow the cake to cool in the cake tin.
Place the sugar and water into a saucepan on a high heat until boiling, then turn to low.
Add the blueberries and stir until the berries are soft and squishy.
Add the lemon zest and cardamom and stir until combine.
Pour the mix through a sieve and reserve 180ml the syrup separately.
Place the remaining syrup in a bowl with the corn flour and whisk until the mix is smooth and flour incorporated.
Place the flour syrup back in the saucepan with the blueberries and stir on low heat until the syrup thickens.
Line a 5 cup pudding bowl with plastic wrap, ensuring overhang.
Place the pudding tin onto the sponge and cut around the tin the same size as the base. Repeat for the top of the tin.
Place the small circle into the bottom of the tin.
Cut the remaining sponge into strips to cover the sides of the tin.
Pour the berry mix into the cake tin.
Place the larger sponge circle on the top and push down with hands.
Pull the plastic wrap overhanging on the outside of the tin over the top of the cake.
Place a plate with a weight on top of the cake and place in the fridge for 3 hours (or the longer the better).
Turn the pudding out onto a plate, remove the plastic wrap and brush the remaining syrup on the outside and top of the pudding.

Online MBA Programs Could Put Some Business Schools Out of Business
March 17, 2014 EducationOnline MBA programs, Richard LyonsJames Cannon
Online MBA programs diverting students away from part-time programs
Dean of the University of California at Berkeley's Haas School of Business is predicting a less than certain future for business school programs in America:
"Half of the business schools in this country could be out of business in 10 years—or five," said Richard Lyons.
Lyons explained that it's the trend for top-tier MBA programs towards offering their valuable degrees online which is sending shivers up the spines of lower-ranked business school officials. This phenomenon puts a crack in the industry's current business model, since for the majority of business schools' part-time students and those seeking executive MBAs supply the schools with critical revenue. More and more these programs, which are directed towards working professionals, are competing with online alternative programs offered by the more elite schools in the business MBA program environment. And these two choices are serving the same population of students.
It's the lower-ranked schools that are most vulnerable to these changes. When the big names in MBA programs such as Harvard and Wharton begin to offer their degrees online, which is indeed beginning to happen, they draw students away from the lesser-known part-time programs which are closer to home. But the part-time programs are a great source of income for business schools, since most students pay full, or almost full, tuition. Part-time programs have traditionally been able to assure a steady flow of income for their schools.
Right now there are not that many top-tier schools that offer their MBA programs online, but many other schools have. But the snobs are showing signs of warming to the idea as the stigma caused by the down market MBA programs that do offer online programs continues to fade. It should not be long before the biggest names in MBA programs, such as Wharton, Stanford, and perhaps even Harvard, offer a part-time MBA program online to anyone who qualifies, no matter where they happen to live and work.
If an executive based far from a top-tier school can choose between a local part-time MBA programs at a less elite school versus a part-time program at a top-ranked school online it seems the choice will often be to opt for the online program.

Q: What's the easiest / most efficient way to pause setInterval while data is loading? JavaScript/Jquery So i have a JS Interval doing a load command on a script.. and displays the loaded data on a div..
Everything was perfect until i put my project online and saw an issue (in the background)..
Since the setInterval needs to be set at 1 second interval , and a lot of times the time it takes for the data to load is more than 1 second, i see load stacking happening in the background... since the setInterval continues to fire $.load() calls every second regardless of any loaded data..
I was thinking of setting a global variable "is_loading" to add to my function in the interval, to skip the rest of the routine incase "is_loading" is true, .. once the recent load call completes, it sets is_loading = false..
this way the interval keeps firing / second w/o load calls stacking in the background...
however, since i have several intervals doing loads all over the page (pls dont ask why lolz) i find it quite tedious to do this w/ every interval.. therefore i was wondering is there something i can do "globally" like an event listener of some sort for current unfinished loading/get/post happening on the page?
Suggestions would be great

A: Like others have said, I would use setTimeout to make a new request whenever a request completes.
For dealing with multiple requests on a timer, I recommend making some sort of master timer/scheduler in order to decrease the amount of setTimeouts running all over. This article from Google is was helpful to me when I was doing something similar:
http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2009/07/gmail-for-mobile-html5-series-using.html

A: There were some great suggestions (and reminders) here, but what I'm going to do is create my own setInterval function that does what i want to do..
myInterval(function,time,hold_variable,attempts)
where
hold_variable =  window.variable issued and checked for before executing the actual function. this is the same variable name my function will set back to 0 when it finishes and allows another call of itself
attempts =  optional variable, the count of how many times the interval attempts to call the function unsuccessfully due to the hold_variable..
this is a pretty straight forward solution on the setInterval side.. only inconvenience is that my functions need to "set" each of their hold_variables (a tiny modification on each function)...

СУ-76 (КТ-27) — опытная советская САУ на базе танкетки Т-27, вооружённая 76,2-мм пушкой. Было построено три прототипа.

История создания
Самоходная установка СУ-76 была разработана в 1932—1934 гг. в специальном конструкторском бюро завода "Красный Путиловец" под руководством И.А. Маханова для непосредственного сопровождения механизированной пехоты. В 1935 г. на заводе "Большевик" было изготовлено три опытных образца. Установка была создана путём размещения качающейся части 76,2-мм полковой пушки обр. 1927 г. на шасси танкетки Т-27. Она относилась к полуоткрытым самоходным установкам.

С целью уменьшения высоты линии огня изменили компоновку моторного отделения машины. В частности, перенесли топливный бак и радиатор системы охлаждения двигателя. Из-за недостатка объёма в САУ не удалось разместить необходимый боезапас из 50 снарядов, поэтому «боевая единица» состояла из пары машин — самоходной пушки и машины сопровождения с боекомплектом, походной укладкой и расчётом из пяти человек. Силовая установка, ходовая часть и электрооборудование машины были подобны базовой машине. Запас хода по шоссе должен был достигать 100 км.

Испытания
Государственные испытания самоходной установки СУ-76 прошли на НИАПе согласно программе испытаний, утвержденной начальником НТО АУ. Целью испытаний являлось определение тактико-технических свойств установки и проверки целесообразности наложения на шасси танкетки Т-27 качающейся части полковой пушки обр. 1927 г.

На НИАПе испытывалась непосредственно самоходная установка, а машина сопровождения на испытания не подавалась. СУ-76 прибыла на НИАП 3 декабря 1934 г. Документы к самоходке поступили на полигон от военпреда при Кировском заводе 29 декабря того же года. 5 января 1935 г. были получены чертежи и описания.

СУ-76 была подвергнута испытаниям стрельбой и возкой. Перед проведением испытаний на корпус машины нанесли разметку для фиксации деформаций. По окончании испытаний никаких изменений в разметке не обнаружили. Вместе с тем, при первых же выстрелах пороховыми газами были сорваны фары. Всего же в ходе испытаний сделали 423 выстрела усиленным зарядом и 75 выстрелов — стандартным. Полученные в ходе испытаний повреждения качающейся части и осветительных приборов вынудили дважды отправлять СУ-76 на Кировский завод для ремонта, где заменили ствол, люльку и салазки. Самоходную установку предполагалось испытать пробегом на 300 км, но выполнить это не смогли из-за выявившихся тяжёлых условий работы водителя машины. При осмотре двигателя было обнаружено, что последний сильно разогрелся, вода в радиаторе кипела. Ввиду выявления такого существенного недостатка, затрудняющего боевое использование машины, дальнейшее испытание установки пробегом было прекращено.

Во время испытания системы пробегом было установлено, что при переходе с 3-ей скорости на 4-ую мощности двигателя не хватает и последний затухает. По окончании испытаний были сделаны выводы о том, что вес установки не соответствовал мощности двигателя. Проходимость была удовлетворительной, машина преодолевала канавы шириной до 1 м и подъемы до 20°. Для разворота машины на мягком грунте требовалась площадка шириной 4—5 м, а на твёрдом грунте она могла разворачиваться на месте. Удобство обслуживания на огневой позиции было оценено положительно, а в походном положении вызвало нарекания из-за необеспечения механику-водителю нормальных условий работы из-за близкого расположения к двигателю и неудовлетворительного отвода тепла. Время перехода из походного положения в боевое на мягком грунте составляло 40 с, на мёрзлом грунте — 90 с. Для обратного перехода требовалось 30—40 с.

Скорострельность системы составляла 10 выстрелов в минуту — при стрельбе с исправлением наводки и 15 выстрелов в минуту — без исправления.

Устойчивость СУ-76 при стрельбе признали удовлетворительной, а меткость системы по щиту на дистанции 1000 м оказалась «значительно лучше, чем табличная меткость 76-мм штатной полковой пушки обр. 1927 г. на колёсном лафете».

Оценка проекта
Испытания завершились 11 ноября 1936 г., с подведением итогов и выводом о том, что 76-мм полковая пушка обр. 1927 г. на шасси танкетки Т-27 не может быть допущена к войсковым испытаниям вследствие, главным образом, неудовлетворительных условий работы водителя и недостаточной мощности двигателя.

Brice Unland has been an educator with Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools for 11 years and has decided to engage with local politics by running for Red Deer City council. Getting involved with government is something Unland has encouraged his students to take part in.
"It was something I had thrown around for a long while," Unland said. "In my job as a teacher, we obviously talk about government and we encourage our students to participate. It seemed like a natural progression and it seemed like something I'd want to look into and see how it works.
Unland noted he would be one of the younger councillors if elected and he feels that he can bring the perspective of that significant demographic to council. Unland also feels that his experience with representing Central Alberta teachers provincially will be invaluable.
"My involvement in the Alberta Teachers Association (ATA) has me involved with a lot of policy setting, committee work and those sorts of activities which will transition well to being useful on council," he said.
Unland outlined his platform, which focuses heavily on protecting citizens and property in the City.
"The three main pillars of my platform are community, safety and dialogue," he said.
"In the community aspect, I feel that as Red Deer grows it is important we maintain a small town feel and the idea that we all know one another.
"With safety, it is a primary concern for all of us and it is something that continues to be brought up in the news and we see it everyday. With dialogue it's about how we communicate between council and the citizens of Red Deer.
Unland feels that despite ongoing safety concerns, Red Deer is in a good position to grow and thrive.
"I don't feel that Red Deer has any sort of drastic insurmountable problems," he said.
Unland described his political leanings, which differ socially and fiscally.
"My father-in-law would have described me when I was getting married as socially very liberal and than fiscally conservative. I suppose that is true today," he said.
Unland recognized that an important part of working on council is to recognize partnerships and team work, while also bringing all the unique perspectives of your constituents to the table.
Unland expanded on his fiscal views, noting that taxation should only rise if that is reflected in services provided by the City.


You probably know that many people—women and men and girls and boys of all ages—feel pretty bad about their bodies much of the time. If you are one of these people, you have the power to change your body image and move it in a more positive direction. As part of YouBeauty's Confidence Project, here are the guidelines for a three-step body-confidence makeover:Step 1: Take care of your health.This step includes all the basic elements of physical self-care: adequate sleep, good nutrition, fitness, medical check-ups, etc. But it also includes emotional self-care, such as avoiding toxic relationships, pursuing a healthy social life and caring for your emotional wellbeing in whatever way is necessary. The most obvious reason for taking care of your health is that you will feel better, be more energetic and maintain a healthy weight. The less obvious reason is that, by taking the time and paying attention to your own basic needs, you are sending your brain a subtle message that you are worth the effort—that you are a valuable, worthwhile person. Striving for good physical health, good emotional health and improved overall self-esteem can boost your body confidence in the process.MORE: Give Yourself the Respect You DeserveStep 2: Make active style choices.In this context, style refers not only to your fashion choices, but also to your style of self-presentation—your posture, tone of voice, mannerisms and interpersonal approaches. However you decide to present yourself, make sure it is an active decision that you consider and control, rather than something that you ignore, or something that you think is pre-determined. For example, despite the folklore, you don't actually need to cut off your long hair when you turn 40 or stop wearing bikinis after childbirth. Instead, you need to figure out what works for you and what makes you feel good about yourself. You will feel better if you have fun with your style, making it personalized, flattering and synchronized with how you see yourself as an individual.Step 3: Revise and filter.The first part of this step is revising your own perspective on your body. It is very important to keep in mind that your perspective may not fully represent reality, especially if you have been in the habit of finding fault with your body for a while. It will help if you make an active effort every day to identify a few things that you like about your appearance, and to start giving yourself some credit for the good things. In this way, you start sending yourself positive messages and supporting a more positive (and probably more realistic) body image.MORE: Workouts That Strengthen Body ImageBesides revising your own thoughts, it is necessary to filter out destructive messages from other sources. I work with a young woman, Abby, whose parents taught her from a very young age that skinny equals good, fat equals bad, and there is nothing in between. Abby's mother (whose size 8 body is practically identical to her daughter's), also made a habit of apologizing to everyone who came to the house for her own (non-existent but perceived) weight problem. Naturally, Abby internalized these parental messages and grew up thinking she was fat and, therefore, bad. My suggestion to Abby that she had both the right and the power to decide for herself whether or not to agree with these teachings was startling to her. You are bombarded with messages from your family, friends, society and the media. You get to choose which ones to adopt for yourself. You also get to choose which ones to filter out and ignore.You deserve to put time and effort into yourself and your self-esteem, and you have the power to move your body image in a more positive direction.QUIZ: Be More Satisfied With Your Beautiful FaceVisit BluebirdPages.com for more stories, advice and information to help you feel better in your life, in your relationships and in your own skin, from our Self-Image Expert, Heather Quinlan. Topics include relationships, sadness, food, weight, body-image, stress, work, self-esteem, trauma and self-care.


Native medicine consist of ancient healing knowledge about how to use of special herbs and plants, special leaves, special roots, barks from special trees and other natural compounds to achieve healing for various health conditions. Usually, they are local or unique to a particular culture or region. You will find examples from all cultures because every culture has its own collection (usually unwritten) of native medicine.
Today, popular native medicine include those of the Chinese people (TCM), and those of India origin (Ayurveda). Western culture also has a history of proven native medicine. Did your grandmother not tell you chicken soup is good for your colds? This is part of native western medicinal knowledge. As a little boy prone to frequent nose bleeding, my grandmother would plug my bleeding nostril with cold wood charcoal and ask me to tilt my head backward for a few moments. It stopped the blood flow. Something you inhale from cold wood charcoal must be beneficial for stopping nose bleeding. Perhaps medical science should take a look at that.
Before they knew about western medicine, some of Western Africa's people used to rely on a very effective local remedy for treating malaria. They will receive from traditional herbsmen a chosen variety of special leaves from the forest which they proceeded to bring to a boil in a large pot. Some of the potion is given the patient to drink. Then the patient is made to sit under covers leaning over and inhaling and exhaling the steam from this hot concoction. An average of three treatments later, and the patient is well again. No medical doctors and no chemical drugs.
Have you seen someone apply pressure to their temples (accupressure) in an attempt to relieve severe headache or stress? If so, you have seen native cures at work. Accupuncture is very popular today all over the world as a healing remedy, but did you know it is a gift to the world from Chinese native medicine?
Every culture has it's own set of native cures. The most widely known native cures include those of the Chinese people (TCM), and those of India origin (Ayurveda). Wesetern culture also has a history of proven native medicine (Phytopharmaceuticals) or Western Herbal pills.
Today, there are scientificaly tested and approved native medicines in capsules, and potions called Phytopharmaceuticals or Western alternative medicine.
Why Use Native Medicine Today?
They will not pollute your body's systems with chemicals and unnatural substances.
Giving your body natural foods and natural medicine will make sure your organs remain close to their natural condition. This will keep your internal fighting system active and ready to deal will any intrusions by illness carrying agents.
Using Native medicines does not mean you must ignore medical science.

Candelaria's 100% owned Caballo Blanco Project hosts NI 43-101 Indicated Resources of 521,000 ounces of gold and 2,170,000 ounces of silver (31,220,000 tonnes grading 0.52 g/t gold and 2.16 g/t silver) and Inferred Resources of 95,000 ounces of gold and 590,000 of ounces silver (8,630,000 tonnes grading 0.34 g/t gold and 2.14 g/t silver).

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD,
This news release contains certain information that may constitute forward-looking information or forward-looking statements under applicable Canadian securities legislation (collectively, "forward-looking information"), including but not limited to the exploration potential at the Caballo Blanco Project, and future exploration plans of Candelaria. This forward-looking information entails various risks and uncertainties that are based on current expectations, and actual results may differ materially from those contained in such information. These uncertainties and risks include, but are not limited to, the strength of the global economy; the price of gold; developmental, funding and liquidity risks; the degree to which mineral resource estimates are reflective of actual mineral resources; the degree to which factors which would make a mineral deposit commercially viable are present; the risks and hazards associated with mining operations; and the ability of Candelaria to fund its capital requirements and exploration and development activities.


It has been a while since stock and bond prices moved in opposite directions, but for a second week in a row the correlation between the two asset classes is sharply negative (which is a good thing).
It has been a while since stock and bond prices moved in opposite directions, but for a second week in a row the correlation between the two asset classes is sharply negative (which is a good thing). This market dynamic seems consistent with reduced tensions on a few fronts such as the ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine and a possible agreement next week between Greece and the EU on the Greek bailout framework. Also, the rebound in resource stocks and commodity prices (especially oil, which is moving above its 50-day average today) adds credence to this week's market advance.
While bearish investors may argue that the recent round of central bank rate cuts has been precipitated by weak economic conditions, the remedy to stave off deflation is steepening bond yield curves, and acting unexpectedly is a key prerequisite to shift expectations. Another weapon is to act through rising as opposed to falling economic momentum. By this we mean adding more fuel to the fire or reflating while signs of a recovery abound. This is the dynamic in which we find ourselves today, adding this stimulus points to a sharp recovery in H2/15. When the positive impact of lower oil prices is also considered, rising bond yields and steeper bond-yield curves may well support the migration of equity markets into higher trading ranges this year.

Chekhov subtitled his 1896 play "a comedy", and this robust new version by Charlotte Pyke, John Kerr and Joseph Blatchley, with lines restored that were originally cut by the Russian censor, has taken him at his word. Not that there isn't a great deal of pain in the evocation, in Blatchley's production, of wasted lives and hopeless love. But the characters' own wry humour and a humane sense of the absurdity that makes them helpless puppets to their passions consistently shine through. And the staging and the text have an unaffected freshness that puts to shame Andrew Upton's clumsy modernisation of The Cherry Orchard currently at the National Theatre.

Inland's T3 Carbine Reproduction: Coming to the Range
By David Maccar
The new T30 is a reproduction of the now-rare T3 Carbine from the end of WWII.mfg photo
The M1 Carbine was one of the most revered firearms to come out of World War II. It was developed as an alternative to a pistol for troops who weren't primarily infantry, but still had to defend themselves. The .30-caliber carbine soon proved its usefulness as a compact, lightweight, semi-auto that went on to serve in the Korean and Vietnam wars.
As one can imagine, over all that time, the M1 was produced in several variants and was used by military and police forces around the world, and has consistently been popular with civilians as a surplus gun and as a reproduction.
Inland Manufacturing, a company that makes modern M1 Carbines, has announced it will continue its series of classic WWII-er reproductions with the T30, an ode to the later-war production T3 Carbine, according to this post on guns.com. http://www.guns.com/2016/12/06/inland-debuts-t30-carbine-repro-with-new-hilux-m82-sniper-scope/
The M1 Carbine: Then and Now
America's most produced military small arm of WWII is being made again. Here's how it compares, functions, and shoots.
The gun, which later evolved into the M3 Carbine, was an attempted to make a more specialized version of the M1 that came with a scope instead of iron sights and included a conical flash hider.
Back in the day, Winchester and Inland made about 1,970 T3 Carbines in late 1944 and into 1945. The M3 included an early infrared sniperscope and a lamp that was used in the Okinawa campaign and later in Korea. Despite its bulkiness, the lamp and scope were effective past 100 yards.
Inland's reproduction T30 comes with a period-correct Redfield-style scope base welded to the receiver. The base will accept 1-inch and 30mm Redfield rings. The T30 also includes a distinctive clamp-on flash hider. The wartime T3's had their scope bases pinned and brazed to the receiver.
The T30 comes with a throw-back conical flash hider.mfg photo
As an option, Inland will throw in a new Hi-Lux M82 sniper scope that the company says has better light transmission than the original 1940s optics.
The story says the Lyman 2.5 power M82 scope was used at one time or another on every WWII and Korea sniper platform.
The company says the T30 is capable of 1-2 MOA accuracy, representing a significant improvement over the typical accuracy of 3-6 MOA of wartime M1 Carbines.
So how much will all this modernized piece of history set you back? The MSRP is $1,695 with Hi-Lux and rings, and $1,279 without. A real T3 will set you back quite a bit. Most T3s were scrapped in the '50s with just a few popping up in auctions and on display in museums here and there.
The M1 Garand
GIs from Normandy to Pork Chop Hill carried it. Patton called it "the greatest battle implement ever devised." Here's a close-up look at the U.S. military's first-ever semiautomatic rifle.
This genuine M3, complete with infrared scope, lamp, and battery pack is expected to bring $4,500 to $6,500 by Rock Island Auctions.
If the T30 isn't your style but you're still interested in some updated WWII hardware, Inland makes six other versions of the M1: the M1 1944, M1 1945, M1 Jungle, M1 Scout, M1 Advisor Pistol, and the M1A1 Paratrooper with the distinctive folding wire stock. The company also makes a version of the M1911A1 pistol and a reproduction of the M37 Trench Gun.

UPDATED: Trudeau says Emergencies Act can now be revoked as crisis calms down
PM says order has been restored, police and legislation will now suffice
Feb. 23, 2022 1:00 p.m.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the government can revoke the Emergencies Act now that the crisis in Ottawa and at Canada's border crossings has calmed down.
"We are confident that existing laws and bylaws are now sufficient to keep people safe," Trudeau told a news conference Wednesday in Ottawa.
"I want to reassure Canadians: law enforcement agencies are prepared to deal with anyone engaging in unlawful or dangerous activities."
Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act, which replaced the War Measures Act in 1988, for the first time last week, saying police needed extra help to end protests against COVID-19 restrictions that had occupied downtown Ottawa for weeks and spread to key Canada-U.S. border crossings.
On Monday, Trudeau said the time-limited, extraordinary powers granted by the Emergencies Act were still needed because his government was worried about blockades returning.
Trudeau said Wednesday the threat remains, but order has been restored.
The House of Commons passed a motion to approve the measures under the act Monday evening, with the NDP voting in favour alongside the minority Liberal government.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh had warned that his party would pull its support for the Emergencies Act as soon as it decided the measures are no longer necessary.
The Senate began debating a motion on the act Tuesday, but adjourned the discussion Wednesday after the prime minister's announcement.
Justice Minister David Lametti said the emergency powers, which were set to expire mid-March at the latest, will officially end when the Governor General signs a proclamation to revoke the act.
Regulations under the Emergencies Act granted powers to make tow trucks into essential services, require banks to freeze accounts of people participating directly or indirectly in the protest, and designate no-go zones for public gatherings, including Parliament Hill, border crossings and other areas deemed to be critical infrastructure.
Police in Ottawa used those powers over the weekend to push demonstrators out of the core in a massive, multi-day operation.
Downtown Ottawa remains under heavy police supervision. Checkpoints throughout the core, where the parliamentary precinct and surround streets are fenced off, are expected to remain throughout the weekend.
The integrated command centre, including Ottawa police, the Ontario Provincial Police and the RCMP, will continue to operate for an indeterminate amount of time, the RCMP said in a statement Wednesday.
The RCMP gave a list of influencers in the protest, as well as people who refused to move their vehicles from Ottawa's court, to financial institutions.
On Tuesday, Isabelle Jacques, the assistant deputy minister of finance, told a House of Commons committee that a total of 206 accounts involving $7.8 million were affected.
She also said the RCMP sent information to banks Monday about people whose accounts should no longer be affected.
The power to freeze accounts will end once the act is officially revoked. Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland warned some accounts will remain frozen under the regular authority of the courts, law enforcement and financial institutions.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford's office said Wednesday the provincial state of emergency to deal with anti-vaccine mandate blockades would be revoked to align with the federal government. The premier's office said "emergency tools" provided to law enforcement will stay in place for now to address ongoing activities.
Trudeau said that an inquiry into the circumstances that led up to the use of the emergency legislation, which is a requirement under the act, will take place within 60 days.
"It could look at policing," he said.
"The inquiry could also examine the funding influence and disinformation that supported the illegal blockades and occupations, both foreign and domestic."

What is Leadership? How to become an effective Leader
Editor June 8, 2021 0
When we were children, we played games like "Follow the Leader". One person would be the "leader", and invent all sorts of silly things for the rest of the group to do, like jumping in place, or rubbing our bellies and patting our heads, or imitating goofy noises as a group.
1 The Weight of Leadership
2 What Is a Leader?
3 How Can I Become an Effective Leader?
3.1 Understanding and Communication
3.2 Be Transparent
3.3 Leadership = Accountability
4 What Are Some Steps to Take Towards Being an Effective Leader?
4.1 Listen Your Team Members
4.2 Provide Feedback
4.3 Empathy Strengthen Leadership
The Weight of Leadership
But after a while, every leader started to run out of ideas. The novelty wore off, and suddenly, being a leader wasn't so appealing. It was a chore to keep everyone's attention, and encouraging each individual to stay with the activity soon became more than a movement, noise, or gesture. It was work.
As adults, the stakes are even higher for those in leadership positions. Not only do you need to encourage your team, but you're responsible for the overall success of the team.
You need to inspire and motivate team members towards growth and innovation. But how? What does good leadership entail, and how do you become an effective leader?
While there is no step-by-step guide to being a good leader, there are many key traits and components to adopting a leadership style that is effective for all parties involved.
What Is a Leader?
Some people are said to be "born leaders", and there may be truth to that concept. There are individuals who effortlessly organize groups, communicate clearly and succinctly, and seem to float towards a common goal.
At the same time, many of us struggle with managing a variety of different personalities, strengths, and weaknesses, all while enforcing rules and keeping everyone focused.
In today's corporate setting, leadership lines may be more blurred than ever, with several layers of middle management, supervisors, project leads, team leads, and Senior Team Member designations all attempting to cooperate on the same initiative without a clear picture of where the leadership power and responsibilities lie.
This confusion tends to distract from common goals and collaboration, creating an awkward struggle throughout the team, rather than a sense of cohesiveness.
A truly effective leader, therefore, is someone who takes initiative. While we typically think of a leader as the person who doles out chores and responsibilities to others, the first priority of a good leader should be to claim accountability for the team, its goals, and the overall outcome of the work done.
With that level of responsibility in mind, a leader should ensure that all of their actions are pointed towards helping team members grow and thrive, and creating an environment where success is possible.
Read also: Powerful tips to become more successful.
How Can I Become an Effective Leader?
There are many different types of leadership, and it's impossible to say whether one is more effective than another. Different leaders bring their own qualities to the table, and different team members respect and respond personally to the various types of leadership.
Understanding and Communication
One key concept that can help a leader to be the most effective in their role is that of understanding their team members. A good leader should delegate tasks and communicate in a way that earns trust and helps workers thrive.
Even a very small team is made of very different individuals, who have their own skills, talents, communication styles, and ways of learning.
By taking the time to understand what makes each team member "tick", and appreciating the strengths and challenges that each team member brings to the table, an effective leader sets the stage for optimizing delegation and clear, transparent communication.
Be Transparent
Honesty and transparency are also key traits for effective leaders. While barking out orders in a weekly meeting can technically be considered "leadership," it is rarely effective.
Workers want to know what they're doing, why they're doing it, and feel empowered to discuss progress and obstacles with their team members and leadership.
Problem solving, and avoiding huge delays or expenses, is something that effective leaders can encourage by promoting clear communication at all times.
This level of honesty and openness leads to trust, which is crucial for a high-performing team to be successful. An effective leader will find that providing an environment where feedback and guidance are available and respectfully shared will mitigate distractions, gossip, and other behaviors that can quickly disintegrate office morale. An unhappy team is rarely productive, to boot.
Leadership = Accountability
Of course, inspiring confidence amongst team members also requires a significant amount of accountability on behalf of a leader, as well.
A leader who admits fault and assigns praise where it's due, will be far more trustworthy than one who is constantly nagging team members for failures, or threatening them for poor performance.
An effective leader knows that a team performs only as well as its leader, and takes accountability for all actions: not just the positive outcomes.
What Are Some Steps to Take Towards Being an Effective Leader?
To be an effective leader, you need to understand your team members, facilitate clear and open communication, and take accountability for the team and all of its endeavors.
So what are some basic concepts you can do to make these things happen?
Listen Your Team Members
First, practice active listening. Don't just hear the words team members say, but understand the motivations and frustrations behind what they are saying. That may take the shape of spending time with the team as a whole, or carving out some one-on-one touchbase time.
Listening is just the first step, however. An effective leader is an active member of the team. That means holding focus on the team's work, and providing feedback and guidance along the way.
Being involved in projects, while still allowing team members the autonomy to make decisions and try new solutions, is a very important step towards accountability and clarity.
Empathy Strengthen Leadership
Lastly, exercise empathy. While a leader may need to dole out negative feedback, or deal with some complicated situations, there is always a way to do so with dignity and respect for everyone involved.
Team members do not want a leader who shames them publicly, or whom they fear. An effective leader earns respect by treating others fairly, and without losing sight of how each role impacts the team as a whole.
Leadership can be tricky, with many projects and personalities at play.
To become an effective leader, it is most important to understand all of the key traits and tasks at hand, and to establish trust and accountability. Clear and honest communication is one of the easiest ways to ensure everyone is on the same page, and leads to a positive work environment that is productive and thriving.
While effective leadership may come more naturally to some, everyone has the opportunity to practice the skills of a good and trustworthy leader.

The Caribbean is an amazing place full of beautiful tropical islands, fascinating cultures and a rich and diverse history. The region includes over 700 individual islands and over a million square miles. Despite this area, only 92,541 square miles of that is land.
The ISOOSI Caribbean directory celebrates everything from the region. We include the countries, islands, geography, culture, businesses, products, services and reference material that offers value to anyone looking into the area.
Generally, the Caribbean is regarded as everything south of North America, east of Central America and north of South America.
It includes islands, cays, reefs, islets and a huge swathe of ocean. Territories include Bahamas, Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Cayman Islands, Puerto Rico, British Virgin Islands, Antiqua and many more.
Due to the island nature of the Caribbean, the cultural mix is rich and diverse.
Many islands were owned by the Spanish, some by the French and more by the British. Many of them still display this cultural heritage, while many have been able to either retain their own or successfully marry the two.
The ISOOSI Caribbean directory has thousands of links on a range of subjects for anyone interested in the region. We've scoured the internet in search of the most reliable and accurate links and have collected them here for you. We hope they help.

Q: How to distinguish argument parentheses and grouping parentheses? $$s(a+b)$$
Does it mean s times a+b, or is s a funtion and take a+b as arguments?
$$(s(a+b))(c+d)$$
Does it mean s(a+b) times (c+d), or is s a high order function and s(a+b) return a function which then take c+d as arguments?
As a reader, how do I distinguish these cases?
As a writer, how can I make my formula super clear when it's needed?
I don't believe I'm the first one who find them confusing. I expect to see references/literatures. Thanks.

A: The notation for the different things you mention are completely identical, and yes, without context it is certainly ambiguous.
However, such expressions (should) never exist in a vacuum. Before (or possibly immediately after) such an expression is written, it should be made clear whether $s$ is a function or a number (and it should also be made clear what $a$ and $b$ are). And with such a clarification, the expression is no longer ambiguous.
That being said, $(a+b)s$ is less prone to being misunderstood, as most mathematicians apply functions to whatever is to the right, not to the left.
