Fasten Your Seatbelts: Turbulence Ahead for Global Supply Chains
Faced with a mushrooming coronavirus outbreak and ongoing trade wars, global manufacturers need to focus on "operational hedging," a Stanford expert says.

It's been 15 years since Thomas Friedman declared that "the world is flat," given the many ways that technology and lower trade barriers had collapsed national boundaries and fostered a new wave of globalization in which everyone does business with everyone else.
But what happens to those well-oiled global supply chains when the president of the United States, the world's largest economy, imposes steep new tariffs on everything from Chinese steel to French wines? Or when a fast-spreading virus paralyzes business in China, with ripple effects on companies throughout the world?
These natural and manmade disruptions are the turbulent new realities of global supply chains, says Hau Lee, a professor of operations, information and technology at Stanford Graduate School of Business. For most large American manufacturers, globalized sourcing is here to stay, as they continue to take advantage of low-cost labor overseas. (The number of manufacturing jobs in the U.S. has fallen dramatically over the past 40 years, from over 19 million in 1980 to under 13 million today.)
"The world isn't as flat as it used to be. It's bumpy," says Lee. "The question is how to create an agile and flexible response."
Look for Options in Advance
The first big priority, he says, is for companies to increase their awareness about what's happening throughout the supply chain. What are the trends in trade agreements? What kinds of risks — physical, political, financial — do suppliers at each level face? What will be the repercussions for the rest of the chain if a key factory shuts down? And what are the backup options?
"It's not enough to know what's happening in your existing supply chain," Lee says. "Companies also need visibility outside the supply chain. They need to know about the capacity of other suppliers and how to activate them immediately if necessary. That requires building relationships in advance."
A second priority, Lee continues, is to build more flexibility into the production process — what some call "operational hedging." That starts with having alternative sources, but Lee says it can also mean designing products so that they can be produced in different factories. In 2000, Lee notes, a fire destroyed a crucial chip-making factory in Albuquerque that supplied Nokia, the Finnish mobile phone company. Because Nokia had designed its chips to be built in different locations, however, it was able to quickly shift production to the Netherlands and Singapore.
Invest in Flexibility
Similarly, Intel has long designed its chip-making factories to be almost interchangeable by using the same equipment and even the same layouts. Robotics and automation can increase production flexibility as well.
The world isn't as flat as it used to be. It's bumpy. The question is how to create an agile and flexible response.
Hau Lee
As difficult as the coronavirus quarantines have been for companies with suppliers in China, Lee says, agile companies have been able to cope if they prepared in advance. Esquel, a cotton shirt manufacturer that supplies major brands such as Hugo Boss and Nike, couldn't use its normal routes to ship fabrics from China to garment factories in Vietnam. But because Esquel had prepared alternate routes in advance, it was able to ship through Hong Kong and on to Vietnam. It took longer and was more expensive, but it minimized disruption.
A third priority is to increase logistical flexibility. Investing in logistics can greatly expand a company's options. As an example, Lee points to Ethiopia, a landlocked country that had few roads to the nearest major port, in neighboring Djibouti. But thanks to Chinese investments in new highways and a new rail link to Djibouti, as well as in several industrial parks, Ethiopia now hosts a long list of international clothing manufacturers.
Hedge Like a Bank Does
An easily overlooked aspect of logistical flexibility has to do with reducing administrative red tape. Ports that require dozens of signatures for each container of cargo can tie up inventory for days and even weeks. Investing in new technologies and streamlining bureaucratic procedures can remove obstacles that currently stand between factories and markets.
The bottom line, Lee says, is that global manufacturers need to think in terms of hedging strategies. He notes that the finance industry uses very complex hedging tools to manage uncertainties, from currency futures to mitigate fluctuating exchange rates to insurance products and financial options to hedge against uncertainties about the financial viability of suppliers.
"Given how turbulent and bumpy the world now is, we need to develop operational hedging strategies connected to tariffs and natural disasters," Lee says. "It may be expensive for smaller firms, but even small firms can push their outsourcing partners to provide the flexibility to enable hedging at manageable cost."

Trade show exhibit hanging signs are extremely important to creating a strong presence at your events, because they are a key element in capturing attention of prospective clients. These hanging banners do have to look very professional to catch the eye, but they also have to be unique and interesting, to draw in attendees. There are many different ways to create unique and effective trade show hanging signs and hanging banners, and Beaumont & Co. is here to tell you some key things to keep in mind.
It is important to keep the layout of your custom hanging banner simple, as it is what attendees will see, typically before even approaching your exhibit, so you want it to be clear and easy to distinguish, but also represent your brand.
With that being said, to create an effective hanging sign, you might want to consider using white spacing with bold and clear fonts for the text, allowing it to be easy to read and understand, as well as easy to spot from afar. You want it to be clear and simple but you also do not want it to be boring, you want it to capture your brand DNA, minimalist designs do show professionalism, straightforwardness, and when done right, can be attractive and eye catching.
A well executed trade show hanging banner should not only be easy to understanding, but also offer valuable details about your brand and what it is you have to offer!
Hanging signs typically consist of the name of your brand, but you could also think about incorporating other important details and information, such as a brand catchphrase or a short one liner about your offerings and services.
If you would rather not add a one liner or a slogan, you can always add visuals! Adding icons, logos or symbols are fantastic options to add to your hanging banner because they give attendees an idea of who you are and again, what you have to offer.
For the most part, a trade show is all about the visual experience. If you really desire to make the most of your hanging sign and create a strong presence with it, you might want to design some well thought out graphics to attract the passerby as stated above, with icons, symbols etc. Once you have chosen some visuals and designed graphics for your custom hanging banner, you need to be sure that you are using the right colors. These colors must not only represent your brand, but also be pleasant to the eye and be attractive to future clients.
While bright and flashy colors are common for catching attention, they are more suitable for an event where the target audience are younger children. Rather, if you are aiming to capture the attention of a more mature audience, you may want to incorporate neutrals and pastels.
We have listed many guidelines that we like to follow when designing effective hanging banners, but it is important to keep your brand values and target audience in mind first. When you take these into consideration it will make it easier to pick your visuals, colors and design graphics and wording for your hanging sign.
When you are creating custom hanging signs for trade shows, you must keep in mind that each sign and banner should have consistent fonts, colors and layouts because it allows clients to know that the hanging banner belongs to your brand. Using the same colors and fonts consistently at trade shows allows clients and attendees to easily associate the hanging sign with your brand or business. An effective hanging banner will make you memorable at each trade show you attend.
Our goal here at Beaumont & Co. is to provide our clients with the highest quality products, so they are able to attract attendees to their exhibit and turn them into clients!

LCWR past presidents reflect on Vatican mandate
by Joshua J. McElwee
Past presidents of LWCR: Mercy Sr. Theresa Kane and Benedictine Sr. Joan Chittister (Joshua McElwee)
ST. LOUIS -- As representatives of Catholic sisters from across the country gathered here Tuesday for a meeting expected to formulate a formal response to harsh critique from the Vatican, current and past presidents of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious met in closed session to share experiences and lay a foundation for that response.
The meeting, which was attended by about 20 women and lasted just over two hours, was full of great energy and feelings of solidarity, several of the women who attended the session told NCR. But they also expressed feelings of uncertainty because of questions left unanswered.
The overall opinion of the group was that the LCWR could not unconditionally accept the Vatican's mandate that the leadership conference reform its statutes and structures but neither did the group want to walk away from the canonical structure of the LCWR.
The leaders hope to find a middle path, NCR was told, but that they also want to give the Vatican a firm expression of how they understand themselves as religious, suggesting that the sisters do not "necessarily" need to be part of formal church structures.
One former LCWR president said some in the room had asked bluntly, "Why don't we drop out? Why don't we walk away?"
"I don't think they're seriously saying 'Let's walk away,' but they're raising those questions," said Mercy Sr. Theresa Kane, who was LCWR president in 1979.
"So those questions were raised. And they're going to be raised this week as possible alternatives, with nobody putting a judgment on any one of them," she said.
According to Kane, those questions and sentiments reflect what the current LCWR leadership has heard in the group's regional meetings in the months since the Vatican's critique.
LCWR is composed of 15 regions spanning the country. Following the Vatican critique, the group hosted meetings of its members in each of those regions.
Airing of those questions is expected to start formally Wednesday, when LCWR begins a number of closed-door "executive sessions" where the group's members are to meet and discuss the matters at hand.
The critique of LCWR, which was first released April 18, came from the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Among its criticisms, the congregation identified a "prevalence of certain radical feminist themes incompatible with the Catholic faith" in the group's programs and "corporate dissent" in the group regarding the church's sexual teachings.
In a statement June 1, LCWR's national board criticized the Vatican's move, saying it was "based on unsubstantiated accusations and the result of a flawed process that lacked transparency."
According to the Vatican's mandate, LCWR is to place itself under the authority of Seattle Archbishop Peter Sartain, who is to serve as "archbishop delegate" for the group and is to be assisted in that role by Bishop Leonard Blair of Toledo, Ohio, and Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, Ill.
A key part of Tuesday's session among past and present LCWR presidents came when Benedictine Sr. Joan Chittister, who was president of the organization in 1976, read selections from a document she had written in 1980, reflecting on her experience with the LCWR from 1971 to 1980.
Chittister said she had forgotten about the document and only recently rediscovered it. It bears an eerie resemblance to the issues that confront the women's leadership conference today.
Chittister writes about learning that Vatican's congregation for religious was receiving and reviewing reports, sometimes even tapes, of talks she and other women leaders had delivered.
At one point, she writes, "I knew with a horrible, oppressive feeling that we were being watched, but not talked with; observed and censuredt but not related to."
"That has been my experience that my years with LCWR have confronted me with most … a sense that I stand like a fly on a pin-head someplace, talking what are important questions to us and being observed from a superior position by someone with a fly-swatter who does not necessarily value what I'm saying or what I am," Chittister wrote in 1980.
Speaking to NCR Tuesday, Chittister said the document was a reflection she had done after a retreat she had hosted in 1980 for former LCWR leaders.
As part of that retreat, Chittister said, she had invited each of the former leaders to record their own reflections. Those documents, including her own, Chittister said, then "sat on a shelf, as life went by for years."
She said she told the current LCWR leadership she wanted to present her reflections now, telling them, "I think it may have something to do with what you're talking about."
In that reflection, Chittister expresses disappointment about meetings between Vatican and U.S. church officials and U.S. women religious throughout the 1970s.
At one point, Chittister writes in the reflection that even then she was asking whether women religious should live outside formal church structures.
She writes that following the Third Inter-American Conference of Religious, held in Montreal in 1977, she "saw we did not have time to keep playing official Church games much longer; that the function of a Religious was to be a Religious.
"It is only recently that I've come to the point where I can say that the function of a Religious is to be religious, not necessarily to be canonical," she continues.
Chittister references one LCWR meeting of the time, in which she says, "we were touching the real agenda: whether or not woman was a thinking, acting, doing person in the Church. And we were touching the second one: what had priority to us, their [agenda] or the unity of the Conference itself?"
Chittister also says that in conversations at the time with bishops, specifically citing the Vatican's Congregation for Religious, LCWR members found themselves in a "faith and loyalty trap."
"In other words," writes Chittister, "they told us that though we might question certain things ourselves, we could never say them in public. That was to be disloyal to the Church. That was some kind of a sin against faith."
Later in the document, Chittister frames that "trap" as a "Catch 22" of "whether or not we could be individuals and speak if we were in the LCWR, or if the LCWR itself was permitted to speak or to raise any questions which …' had already been decided.'"
Chittisters continues that as she is writing the letter, she "can feel the knot in my stomach all over again -- the notion of being nobody in the lowest possible way, the feeling that … so much water is dropping on a rock but it is dropping a drop at a time, and my stomach isn't sure that I can wait that amount of time."
Chittister also recalls liaison meetings between members of the U.S. bishops' conference and LCWR, where she says she felt a sense of despondency about the hopes for some sort of understanding between the two groups.
"In the liaison meetings I remember trying to reach out," she writes. "I remember knowing that when there were five of them and five of us that at least it was a personal conversation; but I also remember feeling very strongly that …we would put some things on the tables and then we would be listened to politely and they would all go away and the next year we would have a new group there with the same old agenda. It, too, would disappear with no advancement in action of their concerns."
Closing her letter, Chittister presents four "issues and events" that, she wrote in 1980, "remain in consciousness to me."
What she calls a tension between the concern of "unity in the church" and the awakening of female "consciousness:" "Once you have a consciousness of new order of creaturehood … continually suppressing that for the sake of institutional or organization fragility… is extremely oppressive."
The question of whether continuing dialog with the bishops was helpful: "I'm still not sure that continued regular yearly self-revelation is productive, or is simply alerting even more to the effect their adverse use of … power … effects us."
What she calls "dealing with the pain that comes from found but lost personhood; not being able to participate in much except administrative dissent that seems to be the women's ministry in the Church at this time … their ability to see us but not see us, and to make us non-persons."
That LCWR should be a "support system" that is "in a sense a small quiet voice in their own camp, but not in their own camp."
"Where should we go? What is really madness?" Chittister concludes the letter. "[Those] may be questions that are answered much sooner that I myself would choose."
The LCWR gathering officially kicks off Tuesday night, with an introduction by St. Louis Archbishop Robert Carlson. A centerpiece of this year's LCWR gathering is to take place Wednesday in a keynote address by Barbara Marx Hubbard, an author known for her advancement of a worldview called "conscious evolution."
Also on the agenda of the LCWR assembly are NCR publisher Tom Fox and NCR columnist Jamie Manson, who will share a panel discussion Aug. 9 with Sr. Jennifer Gordon, a member of the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth, Kan., to discuss "Religious Life in the Future: What Might It Look Like?"
During the assembly, LCWR will also hold its annual transition of the group's top leaders -- their president-elect, president and past president -- who govern LCWR collaboratively with the group's secretary, treasurer and executive director.
During a formal ceremony set for Friday afternoon, the current head of the group, Franciscan Sr. Pat Farrell, will move to the position of past president, while Franciscan Sr. Florence Deacon, currently LCWR's president-elect, will become its president.
Deacon, who is also the congregational leader of the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi based in St. Francis, Wis., previously served at the United Nations as director of the New York office of Franciscans International, a nongovernmental organization that lobbies for justice issues.

Be a Unicorn – Tips on getting that dream job.
Competition for jobs has never been fiercer, and in some cases you may be up against hundreds of other applicants. Some of these applicants will have better educational qualifications than you, others may have more relevant experience, and some may even know someone "on the inside".
How do you make sure your application makes you stand out from the crowd?
What happens next when you get through the paper sift?
How will you leave a lasting impression after interview?
What can you expect once you're in your dream job?
Be like a Unicorn, be captivating, be brave and have a point.
Recruiters have to read countless, monotonous, repetitive applications and CVs before they find a gem. Try and avoid falling into the trap of being "very enthusiastic", "an excellent team player who can work independently", or "highly motivated". Everyone has these qualities listed on their CV. Stand out and capture the recruiter's interest by explaining your motivation for applying – "I've proven my motivation to be a Deep Sea Diver by obtaining additional formal qualifications, demonstrating my ability and desire for safer and more efficient diving".
On your CV make sure you have provided interesting and relevant examples of your skills. The more unique, the greater the chances the recruiter will shortlist you.
Who is the interviewer? Can you find them on the company website or LinkedIn?
Do you know where your interview is? Leave plenty of travel time and have a back-up plan.
Has your chosen sector/ company/ employer been in the news recently? Find out as much current information as you can.
Can you remember your relevant examples and "soundbites" of interesting information?
Nerves are to be expected, and this kind of good stress pushes you to be the best you can be. By preparing well you will be confident and give an excellent account of yourself.
Interview day has come! You're prepared, you have arrived on time, you look smart. This is your opportunity to sell yourself and demonstrate why you are the perfect fit for the role. It is also your opportunity to interview the interviewer and ensure the company is right for you.
Use your research to express well-informed opinions, participate in a conversation and ask your own questions. Be modest and recognise you still have a lot to learn. Even though you're nervous, focus those nerves and think positively. A good recruiter shouldn't let nerves go against you – they'll be looking for how you express yourself and whether you would "fit" in their company.
Kirsty is the Headmistress of Norwich High School for Girls, which is where I went to school and she was kind enough to give us a few words of her thoughts on careers from an educational perspective.
"In choosing a career, it is really important that you know yourself: your strengths – what makes you you! – What you are passionate about, and also what kind of work is likely to leave you less excited. Make the most of opportunities at school to explore options, throwing yourself into challenges, as this is a good way to discover those real strengths and passions.
You've done it! You've been offered your dream role and the nerve-wracking first day has arrived. You can never be too overdressed on your first day, so play it safe and be smart.
Demonstrate your willingness to learn, ask questions and be interested in all aspects of the role. Depending on your experience, you may have to carry out some pretty mundane tasks before you're "let loose". Try not to let this get you down; you're being tested to see what you can handle. Carry out each task with your best efforts but don't be afraid to challenge the status quo.
Just remember – You deserve this.

Q: Web application Performance - Reducing DB Calls I have multiple SQL select queries (Which i need to call multiple times) all returning similar result sets with Type and value as two selected columns(Column names are different in each table but same datatype).However the selection criteria (where clause) in each table is different as they have different conditions to choose from. Currently we are calling each Select query seperately which results in multiple DB calls. We are trying to improve the response time for our application and just thinking if it would help reducing db calls by putting these select queries together in some stored procedure returnign multiple result sets?
Appreciate any good advise on this.Any reference links or samples i can look at would also be very helpful.

A: Having a stored proc return multiple result sets that land in a DataSet is a way to add efficiency.  But I would do some testing to see where the time is actually spent.
Sometimes I see the same code over and over again even in the same call back to the web site.  Create a connection, create a command object, etc.  You can simplify this and make it more efficient if you design the architecture smartly with the goal of efficiency.

As a former Transportation Director of one of the largest suburban school Districts in New York and now as a School Transportation Consultant assisting with thousands of student routing changes each year I have found the "one-screen routing" in the EDULOG eSQL version to be invaluable. The ability to assign large groups of students quickly and to toggle from the student, stop, run or route screen in either tabular or map view allows us to determine the feasibility of student route assignments on one screen. Routing changes that used to take a full day are now accomplished in just a couple of hours. The increase in productivity has resulted in a decrease in spending by allowing Transportation Directors additional time to do the critical analysis work necessary for fiscally responsible run and route building.

Q: How can you hack an existing drupal module and add an entity reference? I am using imagefield marker and would like the description boxes to load nodes.

A: Please do not use preprocess. That is for the theming layer.
Use the Field API.
If it's for a particular field on a node edit form, use a form alter to change the array of the form element.

A: If you wanna modify field behaviour you can use the preprocess field hook in your template.php
template_preprocess_field(&$vars, $hook){
if($vars['element']['#field_name'] == 'myfield')
$variables['loaded_node'] = drupal_render(node_view(node_load($nid)));
}

And then create the theme file field--field-name.tpl.php and print the variable from there.
Hope that helps your question is kinda vague on what you want to do.

EBA consults on revised Guidelines on methods for calculating contributions to deposit guarantee schemes
Home » News & press » EBA consults on revised Guidelines on methods for calculating contributions to deposit guarantee schemes
The European Banking Authority (EBA) launched today a public consultation on its draft revised Guidelines on deposit guarantee schemes (DGS) contributions. The revised Guidelines aim at enhancing the proportionality between the risk of a credit institution and its contributions to the DGS and at streamlining and simplifying the original Guidelines. The consultation runs until 31 October 2022.
The Guidelines on DGS contributions harmonise the methodology for the DGS to collect contributions from credit institutions in proportion to their riskiness. In its 2021-2022 review of the Guidelines, the EBA identified that those credit institutions that have become subject to a DGS intervention since 2015 were mostly categorised amongst the riskiest members of their DGS. Thus, the EBA concluded that the methodology set out in the Guidelines remains appropriate. Nonetheless, the EBA identified elements that should be improved. The most substantial proposals included in this Consultation Paper are to:
set minimum thresholds for the majority of core risk indicators and adjust their minimum weights to better reflect the indicators' performance in measuring the risk to the DGSs;
introduce an improved formula for determining the risk adjustment factor of each member institution that ensures a constant relationship between the riskiness of institutions and their DGS contributions.; and
specify how to account for deposits where the DGS coverage is subject to uncertainty, including in relation to client funds, thus ensuring closer alignment between the amount of covered deposits of a credit institution and its contributions.
Finally, the EBA streamlined and simplified the Guidelines significantly, to make them clearer.
Consultation process and next steps
Comments to this consultation can be sent to the EBA by clicking on the "send your comments" button on the consultation page. Please note that the deadline for the submission of comments is 31 October 2022. All received contributions will be published at the end of the consultation, unless requested otherwise.
A public hearing on the draft revised Guidelines will take place via online meeting on Thursday 29 September 2022 from 10:00 to 12:00 CEST. Please register for the hearing here by 27 September 2022 16:00 CEST.
Article 13(3) of Directive 2014/49/EU on deposit guarantee schemes (DGSD) mandates the EBA to issue Guidelines to specify methods for calculating the contributions to DGSs. To that end, the EBA issued Guidelines EBA/GL/2015/10 on methods for calculating contributions to deposit guarantee schemes on 22 September 2015, which had to be implemented by 31 May 2016. Furthermore, Article 13(3) of the DGSD further requires the EBA to conduct a review of said Guidelines every five years with the first review to be conducted by 3 July 2017.
Accordingly, the EBA published the EBA Report on the implementation of the EBA Guidelines on methods for calculating contributions to deposit guarantee schemes on 17 January 2018. In that report, the EBA made specific recommendations for revising the current Guidelines. It however stated that the findings were preliminary, given the limited experience of operating the risk-based contribution systems among most DGSs, and data covering only one year of risk-based contributions and thus did not revise the Guidelines at the time.

Excuses hit a dead end
EXTRA marital affairs, foreign driving habits, fugitive criminal siblings - what would you tell police to avoid a speeding penalty?
All these excuses and many more have been used by motorists in Cheshire attempting to avoid penalty points and a £60 fine for exceeding the speed limit.
Medication, affairs, stealing the family savings - people will do anything to avoid a speeding fine.
Cheshire Safety Camera Part-nership has revealed some of the wackiest excuses as it launches its No Excuses road safety campaign aimed at reducing speed-related collisions on the region's roads.
Perhaps the most outlandish involved a supposed fugitive broth-er-in-law getting behind the wheel: 'He had to flee to Florida because the police had obtained a warrant for his arrest after he ransacked my sister's home and fled with family savings,' claimed the car's registered owner.
'If he has moved address, please could you let me know as his friend has a crush on my sister and she will be able to find out where he has moved to.'
The excuse was unsuccessful, however, and the car owner received the speeding penalty.
Lisa Lafferty, spokeswoman for the camera partnership, said: 'There are lots of excuses drivers give to justify their speeding and although some of them do raise a smile, the issue is very serious.
'Our campaign has been developed after research suggested drivers always have an excuse for speeding, but there is really no excuse for being a hazard to other road users.'
The No Excuses campaign uses shocking visual imagery to demonstrate what can happen if motorists continue to ignore the speed limit.
A survey of more than 2,000 motorists revealed that drivers often try to excuse their behaviour, particularly when driving to work.

A rarely seen play by a literary master throws light on the Australian psyche.
The production of Patrick White's Night on Bald Mountain, currently in rehearsal at the Malthouse Theatre, will mark the 50th anniversary of the seldom-seen work. But have no fear, it will not be awkwardly updated, complete with mobile phones and emails.
Although this will be the first-ever Malthouse production of the 1964 work, director Matthew Lutton is clear that no modernisation is needed to ensure the play's relevance. For one thing, White's play is heavily informed by the sense of isolation and even entrapment felt by the disparate group of characters over the play's intense 24-hour time frame. There would be no isolation with smart phones.
And for another, Lutton, Malthouse Theatre's associate artist, is deliberately working with the idea of theatre-goers experiencing both 2014 and 1960s Australia.
''The theatre itself is in 2014, these are 2014 actors, our canvas, or the frame of our show, is today but we're channelling ghosts from 50 years ago. It's not an exercise in nostalgia, it's an exercise in conjuring and embodying and unearthing,'' he says.
Night on Bald Mountain is not without its controversy. White is reported to have said he did not want to see the work performed again in his lifetime, after its debut in Adelaide in 1964. The play was written in the shadow of the atomic bomb and White has also called it the first true Australian tragedy.
In the play, an eclectic group are confined together in the Australian bush. A new nurse, Stella Summerhayes, arrives to join the small population of Bald Mountain, which includes Professor Sword and his alcoholic wife, the professor's young colleague Dennis Craig, Miss Quodling, an eccentric who has fled Sydney to live with her goats, and a couple of hikers.
The mountain, with its strong, brooding presence and varied aspects, becomes almost another character in the piece.
So can a play set in 1960s Australia capture the imagination of audiences today?
Lutton says there is no question of the play's relevance to contemporary audiences.
In the play White continues his questioning of the Australian identity, touching the still raw nerve of cultural cringe, and works with another recurring theme in his work, the role of the outsider.
''The Australia that Patrick White is dissecting has many, many traits of the [cultural] cringe, the fear of being average, the fact that we can be accused of being a passionless country, that we despise the intellect, that we romanticise our landscape. A lot of these ideas are ideas that we're still wrestling with,'' Lutton says.
There is also the warning not to romanticise the Australian landscape, a common message in White's work. This is not the Australian bush of biscuit tin lids or gentle watercolours.
''The mountain itself is a massive force in the play. Most of the characters either honestly express that they cannot understand it, or arrogantly express that they know what nature is. It humbles people and in this play it's very violent, very harsh," Lutton says.
In their own ways, each of the characters has also chosen to be on the mountain as a means of rejecting the city and the materialism that it represents.
The female characters are pivotal and Lutton argues that it is a strongly feminist work, with the male characters often portrayed in an unfavourable light. Professor Sword, for example, whose writing borders on pornographic, seems to see the body and mind as quite separate ideas, and has a taste for the naked, female, muse. Again, this feminist undercurrent may help us make the leap from the '60s to the present.
Lutton likens Professor Sword to another imposing theatrical creation, the male lead in Edward Albee's 1966 play, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. Indeed Sword could be Albee's bitter, conflicted professor George, aged a few years.
''That sense of misogyny is still very present today, even though we may be in circles where we think it has been solved, it certainly hasn't. I think the play is quite feminist, the men are not portrayed in a favourable light, the women are the key of the play,'' Lutton says.
David Marr, in his acclaimed biography of Patrick White, (Patrick White: A Life) argues that the writer, informed by his own homosexuality, is equally able to offer genuine insight into both men and women.
Melita Jurisic, who plays the professor's troubled wife Miriam, says it is ''a great privilege'' to be performing one of White's works. She met White some years ago and describes him as ''a writer who changed my life''.
Jurisic describes Night on Bald Mountain as a great ensemble piece written with a unique sense of Australian humour.
The cast also includes veteran Patrick White actor Peter Carroll, Ida Duelund Hansen and Julie Forsyth.
Lutton, who divides his directing work between theatre and opera, says Bald Mountain has a strongly spiritual and operatic feel, with the work spanning comedy, realism and expressionism.
Lutton is also drawn to the musicality of White's play and is working closely with a vocalist and double bassist on a new score for the work.
That the play has not been on Melbourne stages for so many years is an oversight he is keen to correct, further evidence of our cultural cringe, perhaps. Lutton argues that, as with modern opera, Australia is often poor at embracing its modern writers and he is particularly proud to be presenting a play by a ''20th century literary great''.
''We haven't yet developed a hunger to reinvent ourselves. We feel very confident about stealing but we don't have a great energy yet to reinvent our own; of our new operas, a lot only get played once and disappear. We don't have a canon and I think there's a sense of we think others are better,'' he says.
Lutton is hopeful that audiences will embrace the opportunity to see themselves and their inner lives on stage, drawn by such a true hand.

Home » Ultimately, I had a blast!'
Ultimately, I had a blast!'
By Leigh Anne Williams on May 25, 2010

"Live the change you want to see."
That was the theme of Community Justice Camp hosted this year by the diocese of Niagara in Hamilton, Ont. from May 9 to 14. And according to participants, the event was inspirational and also gave them practical advice on how to live that change.
About 80 people from several provinces gathered at McMaster University for the fifth annual justice camp. On the first day they heard from keynote speaker Karri Munn-Venn, a socio-economic policy analyst with the Ottawa-based Citizens for Public Justice, about the ecumenical organization's federal anti-poverty campaign. Canon Maylanne Maybee, eco-justice co-ordinator for the Partnerships department of Anglican Church of Canada, gave a workshop and led discussion on shifting perceptions away from charity and toward justice.
There were also two international partners – Bishop Grieselda Delgado del Carpio, the newly-appointed bishop of the Episcopal diocese of Cuba, and Edmund Bayisabe, youth co-ordinator for the diocese of Bujumbura in Burundi.
The next three days were spent in "immersion experiences" as campers formed small groups to focus more closely on issues such as aboriginal justice, environmental justice, food security, housing, poverty and welcoming the stranger.
Canon Maybee was in the group that met with representatives of Environment Hamilton which works, through its "good neighbour campaign" to create positive dialogue between the local steel corporation and residential neighbours. "There are pollution issues [but] rather than being really confrontational they are trying to strategically build relationships," said Canon Maybee. They also met with community organizer Michael Balkwill, whose oppositional approach left some members quite incensed. Nevertheless, Canon Maybee found it "extremely useful to have his perspective."
Youth participant Rebekah Sears spent the past year working as an intern with Citizens for Public Justice. She said the experience, particularly hearing what Balkwill had to say, "really opened my eyes to the connection between environmental justice and other kinds of justice."
Dean Sutton-Greenhalgh from the diocese of Niagara will be attending McMaster University this fall. He described the justice camp experience as "profound." As part of the "Building Neighbourhoods" immersion group, he visited community centres with services for new immigrants, refugees and people who are unemployed. "I guess the real highlight is seeing all of the hard work and volunteers that help folks who need it," he said. "It really is the way human beings ought to be. I often have a negative view on some of these problems because part of me has given up, but seeing the things I saw reminds me that there are [still] good people out there."
On the final day, all the participants gathered to share their experiences in creative presentations such as songs and dramatic performances or personal reflections. One group wrote a song about a subsidized housing development they had visited where residents had struggled with infestations of flies because they had no screen doors. Then they organized to build their own screen doors. "I felt like the quality of learning was really high," said Canon Maybee.
Sutton-Greenhalgh said he was honoured to be part of the host diocese and enjoyed being with "great people of all ages and backgrounds…[who] shared a common interest in social justice…. Ultimately, I had a blast!"


Krapdashians White-Wash Fakery in New Christmas Card!
As you know, we are not fans of the Kardashians, Krapdashians. So please set your eyes to roll while reading this post. It's the fakest, fakery of fake celebrities – The Krapdashians – in their all white and silver 2012 holiday photo card.
This year, the Krapdashians went all out trying to really bring the fake, looking like they actually like one another and they are content people.
– Kris Jenner is toasting her forthcoming freedom from Bruce, the spin-off show chronicling the divorce, KRIS TAKES BRUCE TO JUDGE JUDY and her new show entitled, Kris takes Adderall.
– Khloe, Lamar and Kendall (only two of thses people appear to have real jobs) were photoshopped in due to work commitments and seem the most actually happy out of the bunch as a result.
– The tree people most likely to jump ship, Bruce, Scott and Lamar have been corralled into the middle in case they try escape with Mason, while Kourtney is distracted offering baby Penelope Scotland to the alter of fame.
-Rob seems utterly delighted with himself and his sock empire, while his on screen buddy has opted to go NAKED about the ankles.
-Kim hasn't be able to convince her stylist boyfriend Kanye to particiapte so instead brings her cat as a date. The ironically named, Mercy has since left this planet. Where is Kanye, is there trouble in K-paradise?
What Will Life be Like for the Royal Offspring?
Royal watchers are ravenous for news about the forthcoming progeny of Prince William and wife, Kate, so loads of speculations have happened all over the net – have taken a look at what life will be like for the soon-to-be third in line to the British throne.
He or she will be welcomed with tolling bells, cannons and bonfires. I'm serious. You probably won't understand if you're not British. It's something we do.
His or her last name will be same as William's. Which is Mountbatten-Windsor, for those who don't know.
If she's a girl, her name will probably include "Diana". But it most likely will not be her first name, just one of many, the Atlantic Wire points out that Europe's largest betting firm is already taking bets.
Kate will probably breastfeed the little one. That might seem obious, but up until Princess Diana, British royals typically used wet nurses.
There may (or may not) be a nanny. But just one, and any royal siblings may share. (A far cry from the two to four nannies per child like some American celebrities use.) However sources have said that Kate plans to be a full-time mum and doesn't want a nanny, an idea that initially shocked Prince Charles. She may, however have a maternity nurse for the first few weeks.
Speaking of royal siblings, Kate may be having twins. Medical experts say hyperemesis gravidarum, the servere form of morning sickness that caused Kate to be hospitalised is linked to having twins.
Kate wants her child to lead as "normal" a life as possible. Even so, that "normal" life will likely include an approximate R16,000,000 wardrobe alone, according to an expert who has dressed royals in other countries. But another expert notes that those clothes will probably be "sensible", and that royal babies are typically brought up with "few parties, not too many toys and very dull meals".
Don't forget that the world has far too much time on their hands and you can follow the royal foetus on Twitter @RoyalFetus. Thanks to them for the use of their avatar image for this post!

Unique Sensors Will Improve Aerodynamic Design, Aircraft Performance
NASA Technology
Even after almost 150 years of wind tunnel testing, no commercial product had ever been able to directly measure the localized force that passing air exerts on the surface of a vehicle model—until now. Known in the industry as wall shear stress, or skin friction, the force is a major factor in a vehicle's drag, affecting its fuel efficiency and aerodynamic performance.
Thanks to two decades of research and engineering, Interdisciplinary Consulting Corporation (IC2) now has sensors that introduce the unprecedented capability to sense these forces directly.
Without this ability, engineers doing aerodynamic testing have come up with ingenious techniques like observing the change in voltage required to maintain the temperature of a heated film on a model's surface or tracking the localized thickness of an oil film and then backing out the data to arrive at an estimate of shear stress.
"All of these methods have limitations which lead to large uncertainties, and direct measurement is the only way we're going to get what we need," says Cathy McGinley, head of the Flow Physics and Control Branch at NASA's Langley Research Center.
In the mid-2000s, three University of Florida professors set out to address the problem with funding from a three-year NASA Research Announcement and an idea for a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensor that could directly measure shear stress. One of those professors, Mark Sheplak, had co-founded Gainesville, Florida-based IC2 in 2001 to commercialize technology developed in his lab at the university, known as the Interdisciplinary Microsystems Group.
It took more than another decade—and considerably more NASA funding—to arrive at a product.
"For the first 10 years, the company focused on small consulting jobs and the occasional SBIR," says company President Steve Horowitz, referring to a few Small Business Innovation Research contracts with the military, only one of which was directly related to the shear stress sensor. Then, in 2010, IC2 landed Phase I and II SBIR contracts with Langley Research Center to work on a MEMS skin friction sensor. This led to several more NASA SBIR contracts, most of them with Langley.
"That was our first steady revenue to lead to full-time employees and eventually a commercial product," says Horowitz, noting that the company has seen 20 to 30 percent annual growth ever since. "For us, it was a pivotal time."
The sensor IC2 built under the 2010 contracts used the same concept as the company's current commercial product, known as DirectShear: a micromachined silicon sensor that moves back and forth as air passes over it. A voltage is applied across two tiny pairs of parallel plate capacitors in the sensor's surface, and their electrical capacitance varies slightly as they move, creating a change in the output voltage that is directly related to wall shear stress.
"The first ones were large, bulky, and short on performance," says David Mills, the company's vice president of engineering. He notes that NASA ended up investing almost $2 million in the technology over nearly 10 years, including three Phase III SBIR contracts.
McGinley, who oversaw IC2's original NASA SBIR work, says building a sensor that works is only the first challenge. The final product also has to be resistant to swings in temperature, pressure, and humidity, as well as electronic noise. "Getting those things solved, that's the hard problem," she says.
The company announced the DirectShear sensor line, its first commercial product, in early 2017. The product line includes six sensor heads varying in sensitivity, resolution, and bandwidth depending on the force of the shear stress they're designed to measure. Made for use at subsonic wind speeds—that is, slower than the speed of sound—the six versions together can sense, with high fidelity, shear stress levels from about 5,000 pascals down to 20 micropascals, the latter being about equivalent to the force of the slightest sound audible to the human ear. Shear stress forces are typically orders of magnitude lower than atmospheric and acoustic pressure levels, which is part of what makes measuring them so difficult, Horowitz says. The sensors need to measure these slight forces while remaining insensitive to pressure.
DirectShear sensors are not only the first commercial product to directly measure shear stress but also the first that can easily observe and quantify the effects of both mean flow—the overall stress air puts on the vehicle—and fluctuating turbulent air structures. The latter requires the devices to have a high bandwidth, up to 20,000 cycles per second. "Our DirectShear sensors can replace two families of technology," Mills says.
Shear stress accounts for about half of a vehicle's overall drag. Understanding that drag tells a designer how a planned vehicle will perform and how far it could go on a given amount of fuel, McGinley says.
She's been working with other NASA scientists, as well as industry and academic representatives, on a project known as the Juncture Flow Experiment, aimed at better understanding and predicting complex airflows where an aircraft's wing meets its body. The team has been using DirectShear sensors in wind tunnel experiments with success.
In addition to improving subsonic wind tunnel testing, DirectShear sensors can also significantly improve computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, which designers use to digitally predict a vehicle's performance. McGinley says improving CFD technology was the main motivation behind both the Juncture Flow Experiment and Langley's interest in IC2's sensors. The software represents a huge cost savings over physical wind tunnel testing, but only to the extent that it's accurate.
CFD's predictive powers break down when confronted with novel vehicle designs or complex airflow separations. For example, McGinley says, at the outset of the Juncture Flow Experiment, each participant used its own CFD software to try to predict the nature of the airflow separation bubble that would form at a particular wing-body juncture. No two programs produced the same results.
NASA has long been both a leading pioneer and a heavy user of CFD software, although many others, from commercial airplane manufacturers to automakers, have adopted the technology.
IC2 is now in talks with government agencies, academic researchers, and space and aeronautics companies interested in buying DirectShear sensors for improved wind tunnel testing, Horowitz says. "More accurate measurement is essential to making a better-performing design and trusting that it's going to work in the field."
Better performance means less fuel burned, lowering both costs and emissions, as well as less noise. "Given the amount of fuel an airliner burns and how many airliners are in the air," says Horowitz, "you can make a big difference even if you reduce drag by just a small percentage."
He credits the SBIR program with making the DirectShear line possible. While the market for improved CFD software will be relatively large, the wind tunnel testing community is not, meaning the product's decades of development won't yield the sort of big, immediate payoff that venture-capital investment would have demanded. That said, he adds, "As we drive down complexity, we hope to develop a larger market outside the core science community."
The company is preparing to bring a number of other wind tunnel testing instruments to market in the coming years, from new DirectShear products to high-frequency dynamic pressure sensors and aeroacoustic microphones, all based on the same MEMS techniques and know-how it developed to create its first product, Horowitz says. "And we used the same SBIR model of development across all of them."
A series of NASA SBIR contracts, most of them with Langley Research Center, let Interdisciplinary Consulting Corporation (IC2) of Gainesville, Florida, invent the first commercial devices to directly measure the localized force that passing air exerts on the surface of a vehicle model, known as wall shear stress. This force accounts for about half of a vehicle's overall drag, and the ability to observe it directly is improving wind tunnel testing and aerodynamic simulation software used to design aircraft and other vehicles.
In IC2's DirectShear sensors, a tiny, micromachined silicon sensor moves back and forth as air passes over it, changing the output voltage to indicate shear stress.
The Boeing X-48 blended wing body was the last test subject in Langley Research Center's Full Scale Wind Tunnel, which was demolished in 2011 after 80 years of service. Langley has several wind tunnels onsite and a long, rich history of testing models and full-scale air- and spacecraft. In recent years, researchers there have been working with a brand-new wind tunnel testing capability—direct sensing of shear stress with Interdisciplinary Consulting Corporation's (IC2) DirectShear sensors.

Learn How the Top B2B Podcast Producer in The World is Saving 100 Hours Per Month and Over $45,000 per Year
Sweet Fish Media, is the world-leading podcast agency the world, and is getting a lot of value from Kapa99 and is using the graphic design subscription in unexpected ways.
Ka Kei Ho
Mar 8, 2022 • 3 min read
Meet James Carbary...
James Carbary is the founder of Sweet Fish Media, he's the head of marketing and his general routine includes creating content for different channels, like Facebook, LinkedIn, and other social media outlets, he also hosts a daily podcast with his partner in business, Jonathan.
What's Sweet Fish Media?
"In the simplest terms, Sweet Fish produces podcasts for b2b brands, and we do that with a different view on podcasting, where most people look at podcasting because they want to grow an audience, we look at podcasting because we want to build quality relationships, and the way you do that is by building relationships with your guests and by having guests that are ideal clients for your business. Relationships make life better and we create these relationships for other businesses by producing podcasts for them. In a nutshell, Sweet Fish produces podcasts for B2B brands"
Before Kapa99...
James tried to use Canva.com to get the graphics that he usually requires for his own content and the content of his clients. He quickly realized that "there's no way that was going to scale as we brought on more clients" and there was an economic problem, "hiring an in-house graphic designer would run at least fifty grand a year," he told us. A price that his agency couldn't afford back then in 2015.
James requires graphic design for his clients at Sweet Fish. They create logos for every new podcast that they launch, and once they launch the podcast, every episode gets custom graphics. It's simple but time-consuming and expensive. Graphics for clients are not all the graphics that Sweet Fish requires. The company needs PDF files for opt-in bribes, and books and infographics for marketing are also required every month.
James found Kapa99 on Facebook and decided to give it a shot on the spot.
The first month James requested images for the company's blog, infographics, lead magnets, and more…
Two years after, Sweet Fish Media uses Kapa99 because the company needs quality graphic design work and fast turnaround times, something that Kapa99 has accomplished from the very beginning.
Today usual requests are logos for the B2B podcasting done-for-you service, PDF files for opt-in bribes, blog images, podcast episode images, ebook layout, and even personal requests, like the time James's sister wanted to write a book and he requested a book cover to get her excited!
As the company has grown, James and his team take "less than a minute to type in the description on Trello of what we need."
Sweet Fish realized that they could save at least $45,000 dollars per year by using Kapa99 when compared to hiring an in-house graphic designer. In the process, James also noticed the time and effort saved, which allows for other activities, be it marketing or enjoying life. "We're easily saving well over a hundred hours a month because we're not only using Kapa99 for our brand but we're using it for our clients as well. If there was no Kapa99, we just wouldn't be able to do so much of what makes our service special."
James even uses Kapa99 to motivate his sister and help his friends!
My sister wanted to write a book and so I had Kapa99 put together some book covers for what she said the title of her book would be, being able to see kind of the look on her face whenever she saw [the book cover] was priceless.
A friend of mine, he's a children's book author and he's trying to start growing his email list and we were talking at lunch one day. I was giving him some ideas on how he could start growing his email list.
One of the ideas we came up with was to create a lead magnet listing the 12 best children's books.
So mom's coming to his website would be incentivized to download that PDF because they want to know the best children's books for their kids and so we came out of that meeting, quickly popped on Trello, and put in: Hey can we get a PDF graphic that's really clean, that has these twelve books and I just sent as the Amazon links to those twelve books. And within a couple of days, I had a really really good-looking PDF that I could give to Timmy.
Obviously, Timmy wasn't expecting it he thought he was gonna have to go and design some PDF, and was not like he was not looking forward to it.
The fact that I was able to give him something to tangibly use on his website just a couple of days after we talked about it was a game-changer for him.

Medical Minute: OhioHealth Grant Medical Center First in World to Use New Device in Trauma Care
Medical Minute - Dr. Spalding
This spring, the trauma team at OhioHealth Grant Medical Center became the first in the world to use Prytime Medical Devices' new pREBOA-PRO™, a partial catheter that is used to stop blood loss in the most severe trauma cases.
OhioHealth has been using the original REBOA, which is an abbreviation for resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta, since 2017, but this new version improves on that with a capability to work like a dimmer switch that allows blood flow to continue to go to the heart, brain and lungs, which can help prevent future medical issues.
Chance Spalding, DO, a trauma surgeon at Grant Medical Center, first used the device on a trauma patient from a high speed motor vehicle accident.
"We didn't have to go in and make any big incisions," said Dr. Spalding. "We were able to sneak this up and temporarily stop the bleeding to stabilize the patient, so they still had good blood flow to the brain, heart and lungs. From there, we could go to our interventional radiologist who could put another catheter in, put a coil in that blood vessel and permanently stop the bleeding. The patient was then able to recover without needing a big surgery."
Prytime Medical is partnering with five trauma centers who have been named a "Center of Excellence" to introduce this new technology. Dr. Spalding and the team at Grant will work with those other centers to educate them on using the pREBOA-PRO™ for their patients.
While Dr. Spalding was the first surgeon to use this device, it took a team approach to get to this point.
"There's probably a hundred people who have been involved," said Dr. Spalding. "Everything from simulation to nursing training to ICU care and operating room care that have really made this program launch off. And having everyone have that buy in nature has been huge."

If you have been following my blog for quite a while, you will see that this brand has featured many times. Created for both Men and Women Bio-Extracts is an innovative yet simple to use construction of skincare, that has been created for anyone with concerns about fine lines, wrinkles, slackened skin and dehydration. If you are someone that has noticed how your skin changes from day to day or week by week, depending on lifestyle factors such as travel, health, stress, or even time of the month, then this regime easily allows you to completely customise your skincare routine. Genius!
I love how Bio-Extract's allow us to create a completely unique skincare regime depending on what we need and when. Most importantly, I love how results driven they are in creating products that work. Adding more of their super strength serum Boost's to the range, make this a regime suitable for everyone of all ages and skin types. One of the new Boost's added to the range is the Pore Minimising Boost. Obviously any product that says it will minimise my pores has me running towards it faster than an Olympic Sprinter.
What exactly are pores though and why do we want to minimise them? Pores are openings on the surface of the skin, their main function is to release oil and sweat from the glands below to hydrate and cool the skin. However, some people can have enlarged pores which can clog and lead to spots and sometimes acne, others may have smaller pores that do not cause any problem, but are slightly noticeable when applying make up. That is why it is super important to keep the skin clean and exfoliated to remove any dirt and makeup trapped inside these pores. Although you cannot close them up completely, you can cover them with primers before applying make up and sometimes minimise their appearance with skincare.
The new Pore Minimising Boost from Bio-Extracts is particularly good for anyone with an oily skin. It is an antibacterial, lentil based, vegan blend of actives, that can limit shine, control sebum and reinforce the collagen in the dermis, therefore making the pore look tighter and less enlarged. This is great because as we get older and out skin starts to slacken the pore walls kind of…flop and get bigger.
In the well known, large syringe style packing, this offers an air tight system which makes measuring out your perfect dose of Boost easy. Choose your Lamellar Moisturiser from the Bio-Extracts Range and add up to four pumps of your chosen Boost to it. This is completely scent free, non sticky and applies easily to the skin. Now, I do not have a drop of oil on my skin, but I always apply a pore reducing primer to my skin before make up as foundation can sit in my pores and make them very visible. Now, I have the option of using this Boost in my skincare as well or instead of. I gently pat it into my skin and it really gives a lovely, matt, flawless look to the skin which makes a great base for make up or just makes your skin looks ready for the day.
I hate the visible pores on my nose so this sounds perfect. I love the idea of these 'boosts.
Love the idea of these – sounds great!


Steele Creek is one of the most popular campgrounds on the Buffalo National River. It features one of the most beautiful painted bluffs in the Ozarks: Roark Bluff. Not only that, it provides access to one of the most beautiful trails in the state, the Buffalo River Trail.
This is also a very popular spot for photographers, as one can easily spend a weekend here and add some amazing images to their portfolio. No wonder this is a popular spot to shoot during Tim Ernst's photography classes.
