Gleanings from a Book: "I Live Again" by Ileana, Princess of Romania, Archduchess of Austria
"I Live Again" by Ileana, Princess of Romania, Archduchess of Austria was recently re-published by Ancient Faith Publishing after being out of print for many years. The memoir was originally written in 1951 by the princess herself, only a few years after she was forced to leave her beloved Romania. This re-publication contains additional forwards and afterwards which enhance the reader's understanding of the book and appreciation for the author and her experiences.
At the start of the book, Princess Ileana greets her readers from her cozy New England house. She invites the readers to "look around" two rooms of her house, detailing the items in each room, and offering a glimpse at the history behind them. In the first chapters, she begins to answer the question posed to her many years before, when she was a teen visiting the United States on official business with her mother, Queen Marie of Romania: "What is it like, to be a princess?"
The rest of the book takes the reader on the journey of Ileana's life as a princess. It begins by introducing her younger years in the palace; then goes on to tell of her life as a refugee during World War I; then back to palace life when the war was over. Finally, the bulk of the book discloses the subsequent changes and challenges presented by World War II and the subsequent struggles of Romania and her people in its aftermath.
Time after time in her story, the reader wonders at Princess Ileana's strength, feels exhausted by her hard work, and is amazed at her diligence and determination in the midst of the difficult situations surrounding her. Again and again she tells instances of God's provision, not just for her and her family, but also for the people she served and loved. This story would be unbelievable, were it fictitious, but it is true.
So, "what is it like to be a princess?" This book will forever change the reader's view on that title. Commitment, pain, joy, trust in God, and dedication all are themes in this book. Perhaps they are what it is like to be a princess? They were, at least, what it was like for Princess Ileana of Romania!
When she wrote this book, Princess Ileana's beloved country was still under Soviet rule. Nearly 40 years later, Romania was freed from that rule, and she was able to return to visit. By this time, she had been tonsured a nun and was the abbess of the monastery which she had founded in Elwood City, Pennsylvania. Mother Alexandra departed this life a few months after her return to Romania, from complications related to a hip fracture.
Mother Alexandra's gravestone reads, "None of us lives to himself and none of us dies to himself. If we live, we live to the Lord and if we die we die to the Lord, so then whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's" (Romans 14:7). Truly, her life exemplified this passage. May her life challenge and encourage us to live to the Lord with all of our might!

Following are a few gleanings from the book, as well as a few resources that can help us learn more about Princess Ileana/Mother Alexandra. May her memory be eternal!
"My life has been spared often by what has seemed sheerest chance: the chance that the bomb fell in the other end of the trench where we were crouched; that the Communist under anesthetic for an operation in my hospital babbled of the plans for its destruction." ("I Live Again," by Ileana, Princess of Romania, Archduchess of Austria, p. 21)
"Like Brother Lawrence, 'I have need to busy my heart with quietude.'" ("I Live Again," by Ileana, Princess of Romania, Archduchess of Austria, p. 29)
"I know now that love and pity, implemented with the will to serve, can transcend all things and work incredible miracles; that one can overcome shyness, fatigue, fear, and even what seems uncontrollable physical repulsion, by a simple overwhelming longing to serve and be of use… Before death and pain men are equal, and most men realize this and are ready to help one another. I have learned that where there is faith in the Lord, His work can be done."("I Live Again," by Ileana, Princess of Romania, Archduchess of Austria, p. 84)
"Here in my New England bedroom, on the night table beside my Bible and prayer book, is a heavy silver cross… Wherever I go it accompanies me. Whether I am in a friend's house or have made a journey to a strange town where I must lecture, it lies beside me; a continual token of the power of faith and sacrifice. It reminds me of my home and of my work, and of the trust that those whom I left behind have given me. It is a symbol of the Strength that enables me to 'live again,' for as I look at it the words spring to my mind: 'In the world ye shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.' If He had not overcome the world, and in doing so left us His example, how could I ever have borne the day upon which I received this silver cross?" ("I Live Again," by Ileana, Princess of Romania, Archduchess of Austria, p. 131)
"The wish to succeed the easy way, to take the road that lies open and clear before us, often makes our work superficial. Besides, an outward success is not an adequate measure of the depth and durability of what we accomplish. Worldly success did not crown even our Lord's life when He was on earth, though that work was divine and far above our own human efforts." ("I Live Again," by Ileana, Princess of Romania, Archduchess of Austria, p. 157)
"…I do not want you to think that what we were doing was simple or easy, or went along as quickly as you can read about it. I have never found that anything worth doing can be accomplished without considerable effort, and transporting forty wounded was no exception…" ("I Live Again," by Ileana, Princess of Romania, Archduchess of Austria, pp. 192-193)
"…A great sorrow had come to me… So I sought refuge again at the little chapel, seeking for strength to bear the unbearable; for even physically I felt that I could not endure the pain. Then my eyes fell upon the eternal unmoved perfection of the mountain. So long had it stood there just like that.. And suddenly I understood that such things did not matter; that they were of no importance at all. Such things were there simply to be overcome; they were put in our way for us to use in building the staircase of life. On each one we could mount one step higher until finally we attained the Mountain, the eternal reality of living." ("I Live Again," by Ileana, Princess of Romania, Archduchess of Austria, pp. 231-232)
"Can you understand why I so loved this hospital? It was because everything in it was a symbol of love. Behind each bit of it stood some act of kindness, some gesture of nobility, some memory dear to me; and woven through all were the hours of ordinary, essential hard work which made it truly a part of myself. (Once someone asked me how I had got 'all that' done. 'With my feet!' I replied. And this in many ways is true, for things do not drop into one's lap. One has to go and find them.)" ("I Live Again," by Ileana, Princess of Romania, Archduchess of Austria, p. 268)
(on visiting her parents' and her baby brother's graves)
"I felt like a ghost from the past visiting the past. Had I known that it was for the last time I came there, how could I have borne it? God is merciful in that we do not know what awaits us." ("I Live Again," by Ileana, Princess of Romania, Archduchess of Austria, p. 319)
"But to try to escape with my own family from the oppression to which my people were condemned could never be the right solution of the problem for me. It was my duty to stay with the country that had given me life and held my heart, and not to desert it in a time of stress. I was not simply an individual, a mother who had only her own children to think of…I resolved to try harder and more courageously. I returned with the family to Bran, carrying this resolution in my heart and not knowing that soon all decision would be taken out of my hands." ("I Live Again," by Ileana, Princess of Romania, Archduchess of Austria, p. 364)
"The purpose of this book is to reveal the broken heart of the author and to be a reflection on the bruised heart of her people. How does a grand duchess and princess reflect the suffering of her own people? How does she accept exclusion from the life of the nation she represented and served? She was given no choice, but a command: 'Leave the country!' 'Perhaps you can understand the shock of an end to all these things coming, not naturally but as if a knife had rudely cut through a whole life in a moment. It condemned me, not to death, but to a living death…'" ("I Live Again," by Ileana, Princess of Romania, Archduchess of Austria, p. 393)

Liberal journalist advocates to change First Amendment protecting free speech
TNR / October 30, 2019
By Shelby Talcott
The former editor of Time wrote an op-ed in The Washington Post on Tuesday making an argument for why the First Amendment needs to be changed to include a hate speech law.
Richard Stengel, also a former Obama State Department staffer and current MSNBC commentator, was the managing editor for Time magazine from 2006 to 2013. He began his op-ed by noting that he sees the First Amendment as an "outlier" when comparing America to other countries.
Even the most sophisticated Arab diplomats that I dealt with did not understand why the First Amendment allows someone to burn a Koran. Why, they asked me, would you ever want to protect that?
It's a fair question. Yes, the First Amendment protects the 'thought that we hate,' but it should not protect hateful speech that can cause violence by one group against another. In an age when everyone has a megaphone, that seems like a design flaw.
The op-ed continues on to note that the First Amendment protects both "good guys" and bad people, such as the Russians who spread misinformation during the 2016 election. Stengel also wrote that "domestic terrorists" like the El Paso shooter "were consumers of hate speech," using this as an argument for developing a hate speech law. The op-ed added that "speech doesn't pull the trigger," but suggested "hateful speech creates a climate where such acts are more likely."
My @WashingtonPost piece on why the very broadness of the First Amendment suggests we should have a hate speech law. And if we did, why the President might be in violation of it. https://t.co/3ybv3kC69f
— Richard Stengel (@stengel) October 29, 2019
"Hate speech has a less violent, but nearly as damaging, impact in another way: It diminishes tolerance," Stengel's op-ed reads. "It enables discrimination. Isn't that, by definition, speech that undermines the values that the First Amendment was designed to protect: fairness, due process, equality before the law? Why shouldn't the states experiment with their own version of hate speech statutes to penalize speech that deliberately insults people based on religion, race, ethnicity and sexual orientation?"
The op-ed comes as more Americans are in favor of making hate speech illegal, according to a poll published Oct. 23 by the Campaign For Free Speech. The poll found that 51% of Americans are in favor of re-writing the First Amendment, and 48% believe hate speech should be illegal.
The Washington Post and Richard Stengel did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Major in Global Studies —
This concentration focuses on the new Europe and its historical and cultural contexts, attempting to understand the European contribution to world politics and cultural exchange. It involves the study of both traditional and new European cultural products (e.g., literature, film, visual art, electronic media) as well as of European institutions and contexts. This concentration will educate students interested in understanding Europe for its own sake but also help them to discover the ways in which the continent connects with other parts of the world. The concentration is committed to interdisciplinary approaches, and students may take courses in the traditional language-and-literature disciplines as well as in anthropology, art history, economics, film, history, music, philosophy, and political science.
The concentration defines the geography of modern Europe to include the Atlantic world as well as its Eurasian and Mediterranean neighbors.
One semester of language must be completed before declaring the major.
Students must complete a minimum of 36 units in Global Studies, including at least three courses focused on a world area.
Students must complete at least 24 units at the 300 level or above, including courses across a minimum of three academic disciplines.
Students must complete at least 6 units at the 400 level, no more than 3 of which may be directed research or independent study.
In addition to the 36 units, students must complete a four-semester sequence of courses in one modern language appropriate to their concentration.
These requirements may be fulfilled only with college-level course work undertaken during a student's undergraduate enrollment. Courses must be taken for a grade, and a student must receive a grade of C+ or higher in all courses.
This concentration requires 36 units of course work:
3 units of introductory course work (100 or 200 level)
3 units of European history course work (300 level or above from history department offerings on Europe [from 1750 forward])
3 units of non-European world area course work (any level)
27 units of advanced European studies course work (300-400 level; at least one course must focus on gender, race, or class)
Students must fulfill the standard Global Studies language requirement with a European language consistent with their study abroad location (e.g., French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish).
Note: A single course may satisfy more than one of the distribution requirements (i.e., disciplinary; race, gender, class; or world area). Some of these requirements may be completed while abroad.
Introductory course work (choose one from this list, for a total of 3 units):
GS 207 Crossing Borders: An Introduction to Institutions and Concepts in Global Studies 3
GS 244 Introduction to European Studies 3
History 102C Western Civilization II 3
History 102D Introduction to Modern European History 3
History 229 Modern European History: Migrations, Nation States, Identities 3
Non-European area course work (3 units):
We consider world areas to be Africa, East Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and South Asia. Courses that may be used to satisfy this requirement may include advanced area-specific courses or the following lower-level courses:
AFAS 209B African Studies: An Introduction 3
AFAS 2230 The African Diaspora: Black Internationalism Across Time and Space 3
AMCS 250 Topics in Asian American Studies: Introduction to Asian American and Pacific Islander Studies 3

JIMES 210C Introduction to Islamic Civilization 3
Korean 223C Korean Civilization 3
LatAm 165D Latin America: Nation, Ethnicity and Social Conflict 3
Advanced course work: Students choose nine courses from current European-focused course offerings in the following departments.* All courses must be approved by the student's Global Studies advisor in order to count for the major. Visit the concentration webpage and master course list for the full list of options.
African and African-American Studies
Interdisciplinary Project in the Humanities
Jewish, Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies
Languages and Literatures
Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies
Students may submit a request to add a course by following the instructions for the Petition Process.
Additional Requirements and Information
We strongly encourage students to study abroad. For those who do not study abroad and receive credit toward the Global Studies General Requirements, an additional 3-unit course at the 300 or 400 level is required.
We strongly prefer students to select a study abroad location and regional specialization consistent with their chosen language of study (e.g., if a student wishes to study in Latin America, they must satisfy their language requirement with either Portuguese or Spanish).
Students may receive a maximum of 6 credits from a single semester, 12 credits from a year, or 3 credits from a summer term of study abroad.
Students may apply no more than 12 total credits to the Global Studies major from study abroad, University College, summer school at other U.S. universities, or any combination thereof.
To receive credit for a summer course completed at another institution, a student should fill out the Approval for Non-WashU Course Credit form with Arts & Sciences to take the course for "general credit" and then petition to have the course count toward their Global Studies major.
Students must confidently expect to graduate with an overall grade-point average of 3.65 or higher to qualify for Latin Honors.
Students should enroll in GS 485 Preparation for Global Studies Honors Thesis during the fall of senior year and in GS 486 Global Studies Senior Honors Thesis during the spring of senior year (under the corresponding section number of the faculty member overseeing the student's thesis).
Language Requirement
All Global Studies majors must satisfy a language requirement that entails the successful completion of four semesters of one modern language appropriate to their concentration. For some students, this may mean the first four semesters of a language; for others who place into advanced language classes — and with approval from Global Studies language faculty — this may include literature, culture, oral communication, and linguistic courses in the target language, once such students complete the basic language sequence.
Students are encouraged to study more than one language at Washington University, but they must satisfy their Global Studies language requirement by demonstrating competence in at least one language through the fourth semester. Available modern languages include Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swahili. Students should consult the course listings for details about the language sequences. (On the "A&S IQ" tab, click on "Courses," and then toggle "Area Requirement" to "LS Language & Cultural Diversity-Language" and click "Search" to see a list of available language courses.)
Special note for Spanish learners: The following Spanish courses are not part of the regular sequence that are permitted to count toward the four semesters of language: Span 223 Intermediate Spanish Conversation and Culture, Span 351 Business Spanish, Span 353 Medical Spanish, and Span 355 Spanish for the Social Sciences. Some students might find these courses valuable for other reasons. For questions about this, students should consult with their major advisor.
Students With Prior Language Experience
Native speakers of a modern language: Students must satisfy the four-semester Global Studies language requirement in another language appropriate to their concentration.
Heritage speakers who do not have a native level of fluency: Students must seek appropriate placement by the coordinator of the language program and complete the four-semester Global Studies language requirement.
Transfer students who have taken language courses: A transfer student may receive credit for the courses as part of the four-semester Global Studies language requirement only if a placement exam is taken upon arrival at Washington University in the given language and the department/program determines that the student may progress to the next highest level of language instruction.
Students who take a language course at another institution (whether in the United States or abroad): A student may receive credit for the course as part of the four-semester Global Studies language requirement only if (1) the credit is transferred back as Washington University credit; and (2) the student takes a placement exam in the given language upon their return to Washington University and the department/program determines that the student may progress to the next highest level of language instruction.


Do you have a large room? Congratulations! This is a rarity these days. But on the other hand, having a large room does not mean that the decor is easier or requires less care.
On the contrary, the wrong choices can leave your room with a messy appearance if you bury the space with lots of furniture or objects, or it may seem too cold and informal, causing a feeling of discomfort, since a large and poorly filled room may cause this impression.
It is not because your room is large that you will fill it with furniture. The use of furniture should be done rationally and functionally, in the same way as with a small room. The difference here is that you have more freedom to use certain types of furniture and choose the size, which in a smaller room is unthinkable.
In a large room, for example, it is possible to use center tables, side tables, puffs and armchairs, besides the traditional and indispensable double sofa and rack. These complementary furniture helps to break the real dimension of the environment and turn it into a more welcoming place, where everything is closer, without great distances to be traveled.
Two indispensable items in a large room: carpet and curtain. They are responsible for the feeling of warmth and welcome. When choosing the models, be aware of the measures so that everything is proportional.
Lighting is also key in a great room decorating project. This is because light has the function of bringing comfort to the environment, especially the directed lights.
One tip is to opt for floor lamps, after all you have room for that. Another way to insert lighting is with LED strips on the floor or embedded in the ceiling.
And do not forget the trick: yellow lights to create a warm and intimate climate, since white lights should be used with the aim of enhancing natural lighting.
If for small environments the tip is always to opt for light tones in the decoration, in a large room the idea is reversed. Broad environments are favored with the use of dark tones, such as green, blue, brown, gray and even black.
They help make the room more comfortable visually and limit the feeling of space. Try painting one of the walls in these colors, using them on the sofa or on the rug, for example.
The key word for decorating a large room is proportion. Imagine a huge wall with a tiny rack or sofa? It does not work, right? So think of furniture that will fit in with the space you have available.
Another tip is to use and abuse paintings, cushions, lamps, art objects, potted plants and whatever else is within your decorating style. All these elements contribute to a more welcoming and well-filled room.
Picture 1 - Great from top to bottom: this room besides broad also has a high right foot, so the solution was a chandelier proportional to all this space; the carpet and the woody tones give the touch of comfort and warmth needed.
Picture 4 - Rack proportional to the size of the wall: remember this tip?
Picture 5 - Neutral and woody shades to bring warmth and welcome, already to the center of the room was chosen a table of glass proportional to the space.
Picture 6 - Large room integrated with the kitchen bet on the use of two sofas to cover the environment.
Picture 10 - Several furniture, but each occupying its function without encroaching the room.
Picture 13 - Many cushions, a bamboo mosso vase and a beautiful work of art make up the decoration of this large living room.
Picture 16 - A shelf to the ceiling, potted plants and soft textures on the carpet and benches: this is the recipe to make this room more receptive.
Picture 19 - In a large room everything should be proportional, like the bonsai vase of that image.
Image 23 - The highlight of this room is the projector that occupies the entire wall.
Picture 24 - In this room, the green creates a focal point capable of distracting the look of the real dimension of the environment.
Figure 26 - The solution to this broad integrated environment was a cabinet that functions as a rack and cupboard occupying the entire wall.
Image 27 - Details: use them to make the large room more visually pleasing.
Image 28 - Already this large living room, which mixes the Scandinavian with the industrialist, bet on a corner sofa and a pink curtain to fill the space.
Picture 29 - LED strip lighting in the liner and in the rack makes the large room more comfortable.
Picture 30 - The trick here was to 'break' the size of the room with the low table that runs by the extension of the sofa.
Picture 31 - Do not leave any space out at the time of decorating the room.
Image 32 - How about filling the entire wall with a different kind of 'shelf'?
Image 33 - Choose a more comfortable floor, preferably wood or laminate flooring; they are more pleasing to the touch and the vision.
Picture 35 - A plant vase like this and much of the decoration of the large room is settled.
Picture 36 - Nothing cozier for a large room than a fireplace, do not you think?
Picture 37 - Do not exaggerate the number of seats, even if the room is large, be inspired by this proposal, for example, which brings an ideal number of seats.
Picture 38 - Here in this great room, the proposal of decoration were the neutral tones and a blue sofa to close.
Picture 39 - It can be gray and can be cozy too! Look that.
Picture 40 - What if it's black? In a spacious room like this the color is very welcome.
Picture 42 - Blue and gray for a modern and spacious room.
Image 44 - And what do you think of using a glassware like this one of the image to fill the space of your room?
Picture 45 - Sofa and comfortable chairs override the feeling of coldness and impersonality that large rooms can convey.
Picture 47 - Remember to use a TV set proportional to the size of the room.
Picture 50 - Pendant luminaires reinforce the welcoming feel of the large room.
Image 51 - Furniture proportional to the size of the room: this is often what the environment needs.
Image 52 - Create alternate seating so you do not leave the room-facing room.
Picture 53 - Coffee tables are functional and play a great role in the decoration of large rooms.
Picture 54 - Already in this other room, the coffee table helps to visually decrease the distance between the sofa and the TV.
Picture 55 - Mount a mini library in the living room filling the wall with books.
Image 56 - Since the room is large you can also make this environment a mini cinema.
Image 58 - Panels with vertical prints help to enlarge the room to the top, leaving the space more balanced.
Image 59 - Explore different objects and pieces of unusual design to compose the decor of the big room, after all they will have plenty of room to appear.
Picture 60 - And, finally, you can transform a room into two making better use of all the space it has to offer.

Q: Sliding a UIView down with a CALayer bottom border I'm attempting to slide a UIView down when a bar button is clicked. So far, so good, but I've run into an issue. For aesthetics, I've added a bottom border to the view, and I want to animate this bottom border with the UIView sliding animation. The problem is that the CABasicAnimation is limited, not allowing for a CurveEaseIn. So, the bottom border slides quicker than the UIView.
How can I remedy this?
[UIView animateWithDuration:.5 delay:0.0 options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseIn animations:^{
            _navView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 350);
            _navView.frame  = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 350);

            CALayer *oldLayer = [[_navView.layer sublayers] lastObject];
            CGRect oldFrame = oldLayer.frame;
            CGRect newFrame = oldFrame;
            newFrame.origin = CGPointMake(0, 350);

            // Prepare the animation from the old size to the new size
            CABasicAnimation *theAnimation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:@"frame"];
            theAnimation.timingFunction = [CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseIn];
            theAnimation.duration = .5;
            // Make this view controller the delegate so it knows when the animation starts and ends
            theAnimation.delegate=self;
            // Use fromValue and toValue
            theAnimation.fromValue = [NSValue valueWithCGRect:oldFrame];
            theAnimation.toValue = [NSValue valueWithCGRect:newFrame];

            // Update the frame of the layer
            oldLayer.frame = newFrame;

            // Add the animation to the layer
            [oldLayer addAnimation:theAnimation forKey:@"frame"];
    } completion:^(BOOL finished) {
    }];

A: The simplest solution is almost certainly to use a view, not a layer, for your bottom border, and then animate the border view using UIKit instead of Core Animation.

While crafting this essay I realized I am going against, the standard academic format my Humanities teacher, Mr. Reed was seeking. Though I respect him wholeheartedly I do not think his original plan for this essay was for me. I refuse to use my voice to talk about a fictional character when I can talk about something more real and more raw. Stay with me while I break the rules and use my voice.
The topic of my essay submission is to open your eyes. The novel "The Hate U Give" is deeper than Khalil's death. I want to magnify the emotion, thought and depth of the plot. Intensify the character's emotions and walk in the shoes of some of the characters in the book.
Why is this significant? Well, I'll tell you. I think some people read the book thinking it's just a book. Not feeling the feelings or hearing the dialog that keeps the story going. According to CNN.com, between 2005 and April 2017, 80 officers have been arrested on murder or manslaughter charges for on-duty shootings. During that 12 year span, only 35% were convicted. In 2015 alone, officers have killed 1,125 people in the US. The number of police convictions in that year was zero. That's right. Zero. Think about these real statistics. The Hate U Give debuted on February 28th, 2017. Maybe these numbers mean something.
In The Hate U Give the idea of Tupac and his words are mentioned a few times throughout the book. "The Hate U Give Little Infants F's Everybody." I'm sure you're familiar with it. I'm not going to go into depth considering I wrote a separate essay on this but I did want to bring this up.
The book starts with Khalil's death. Fast-forward a ton of chapters and you see Starr dealing with the crossfire. For example on page 93, Starr and her mother go to talk with the detectives and on page 333, Starr talks to the grand jury. Let me try to make you feel what Starr feels.
She is devastated. She feels guilty, ashamed, heartbroken. She abandoned her best friend and her friend did the same but only in a different way. Khalil left Starr to fight for him. As the "thug" he was portrayed to be, the people who look in from the outside think he deserved it. Starr was there to put those judging eyes in their place. It should be acknowledged that she is only a teen girl. A teen girl with friends and goals in life and her own teenage drama. Though this isn't a teen drama novel it's a serious novel with serious motives.
Starr can't handle the pressure of being the witness and being the normal Starr all at the same time. Causing her life to be targeted and not to mention the backlash she gets from almost everyone in the novel. Even her own boyfriend throws a pity party after Starr doesn't tell him about Khalil. These situations leave Starr vulnerable, alone and scared. She's just a kid.
The Carter's undergo major heat. We can all agree on that. Though let me show you something real. In Tulsa, Oklahoma Terence Crutcher, a 40 year old man that was shot September 2016 by police officer Betty Shelby after Crutcher's SUV was found stalled in the middle of the street. Shelby testified that she opened fire because she feared for her life. Videos of the shooting showed Crutcher walking on the road with his arms in the air before being shot. The jury found Shelby not guilty of felony manslaughter in May 2017, stated by CNN. I did a bit of research and even watched the video of Crutcher and what went down. He was very compliant and even from a helicopter view that was clearly visible. That was a real man who died in a somewhat similar situation. Khalil's death isn't a story.
I believe Khalil stands for every person of color that has been let down by the justice system. Stripped of their freedom in one way or another. Protest and riots followed by police throwing tear gas against their words. I'd like to emphasize that I am not an African American. I have not been personally oppressed but I have eyes and I have a heart. I am a minority. That is where I stand.
Seven, DeVante and Sekani. Seven is Sekani's older brother while DeVante is the friend in trouble. Losing his mind when Starr's boyfriend Chris talked about macaroni with breadcrumbs on it and beating Chris at Madden. That was DeVante's persona. On the outside, he was a street kid who got into something bad. Stealing money from a drug lord and going into hiding. Seven. The smart kid who thinks he can protect everyone. The kid who's been thrown out by his own mother. Who is the first in the Carter family to graduate high school. He is caught in the crossfire being the brother of the witness and being the son of the drug lord's wife. Sekani. Cute and adorable Sekani. Nice kid, silly, immature and hates swear words. I personally think he hustles his dad for loose change. The purpose of pointing them out is because they're along for the ride too. They get dragged in and spit out by the plot of the story. I just felt that needed to be emphasized that they were there too and not just Starr.
These were fictional characters, yes very true. Though in reality, these aren't fictional characters. People get shot, murdered and killed every single day. Police mess up and shoot every single day and every single time the mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, friends, witnesses are all pulled in and spit out by the justice system. Drained by detectives, questioned by the jury, judged by everyone who wasn't there. I wrote this to echo the very reason this book was created to open your eyes to the things people try to avoid and not talk about.
Black is a color. White is a color. Tan, pale, brown are all colors! Us as a human race decide to give those colors meaning. Yes, Khalil had brown skin and yes Terence had brown skin. Though they both had a beating heart until someone decided to take a bullet and stop that.

I really have enjoyed The Hate U Give book very much. It had a powerful meaning to it and this post is just as powerful by explaining pretty much everything about the book. Great job on this page Ethan, you've really outdone yourself.
This was a really incredible piece Ethan! I haven't read The Hate U Give yet but now I really want to.
You're absolutely right, unfortunately. Police violence and brutality is not just a story. It is real. It happens every day. It disproportionately affects people who are black and latino. And nothing is being done to hold the racist attitudes and practices of the police officers who perform these actions accountable. It is embarrassing to our country and to our communities.
People who read this book and who disagree with us may say that this story is just an anecdote, or hinges on experiences with some "bad apple" police officers and not the entirety of the american criminal justice system. However, the exact things you pointed out prove that to be wrong. I hope more people read and truly understand your post.
Ethan, your linking of the story The Hate U Give to the real events it is intended to bring to the forefront and criticize is impressive. I could feel your emotion as you wrote the essay! I'm impressed that you spent the time to dig into some of the police brutality cases and find examples to back up the message in the book. I'm curious: do you think all of those cases where police killed a civilian should have ended in felony charges? How pressing is this, and what can we do to move forward?
I'm glad that you spent some time to analyze the fictional characters between your anecdotes. Fiction may not always be as "real" as reality, but it often contains a bit of raw emotion or dialogue that reality ignores far too easily. Each of the characters, as you mentioned, may as well have been a real person.


Pretty photos of food that makes my gut hurt just to look at!
Doesn't look remotely appetizing in any way at all to me.
Is that really all just one day's supply of food? It seems like enough for a week. Someone needs to make a stop action animated sci fi short where mangosteens are alien invaders of some sort.

Q: Nodejs could not send message to online specific soket i'm trying to implement simple push notification based on socket.io, in my simple code to practice how can i do that i wrote simple code, in my code i can't send message to connected user , when use logged into system i store socket.io with the key on redis, but on send message to user i get key as username from redis and stored socket.io value from redis and i'm trying to send, i get the same socket.io value but message dont send to user
client side:
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>
        Document
    </title>
    </meta>

    login

    mesage

server side:
var socket      = require('socket.io'),
    express     = require('express'),
    app         = express(),
    server      = require('http').createServer(app),
    io          = socket.listen(server),
    port        = process.env.PORT || 3000,
    redis       = require("redis"),
    redisClient = redis.createClient();

socket.on('connection', function (socket) {
    socket.on('login', function (data) {
        login(data.username, data.password, function (success, value) {
            if (success) {
                redisClient.exists(data.username, function (err, doesExist) {
                    if (err) return;
                    if (!doesExist) {
                        redisClient.set(data.username, socket.id);
                    }
                    else {
                        redisClient.del(data.username);
                        redisClient.set(data.username, socket.id);
                    }
                    log.info("SOCKET ID: " + socket.id);
                });
                socket.emit('login', {result: success, id: socket.id});
            } else {
                socket.emit('login', {result: false, id: socket.id});
            }
        });
    });
    socket.on('message', function (username) {
        redisClient.get(username, function (err, socketId) {
            if (err)
                socket.emit('message', err);
            io.to(socketid).emit('message', 'for your eyes only');
        });
    });

});

when i click on login i get this result:
 Object { result=true,  id="/#A5sR-Xo-Owo97NvRAAAB"}

and when i click on message i get this result:
user not connected /#A5sR-Xo-Owo97NvRAAAB

both of socket.ids are the same, but client dont get any message and server return this message as user not connected

A: It looks like you have a typo in this code:
redisClient.get(username, function (err, socketId) {
    if (err)
        socket.emit('message', err);
    io.to(socketid).emit('message', 'for your eyes only');
});

Your callback receives socketId as the second argument, but you use socketid (lowercase) when you send a message.
Also it's better to quit a function when you send an error message:
if (err) return socket.emit('message', err);

or:
if (err) {
    socket.emit('message', err);
    return;
}

otherwise you might have unexpected errors.
Hope this helps.

5 Vital Truths About Business Mistakes
Tim Berry
Founder and Chairman, Palo Alto Software, Inc.
I'm not a baseball fan and I try to avoid sports metaphors, but there are some things I love about baseball that I treasure for their releva
I'm not a baseball fan and I try to avoid sports metaphors, but there are some things I love about baseball that I treasure for their relevance in entrepreneurship and business management.
Baseball doesn't pretend perfection. Pitchers get to miss their target three times free for every batter. Batters get to miss the target two times free. The best batter in history hit just a bit over .400, meaning six outs per every 10 times at bat. Anybody who batter better than .300 (three hits out of ten at bats) is highly regarded, if not a star. And people make errors on defense -- and they call them errors, record them, and keep stats on them.
Small business owners should have it so good.
I've been running my own business for several decades now, which is long enough, I have to admit, to learn to live with mistakes. So now I want to give back, a bit, and share these five vital truths about mistakes:
1. You make mistakes
What worries me most about how much we all make mistakes is the whole mystique about excellence that leads to denial and distortions. I think of the song by Shaggy, "It Wasn't Me." Reflect on your own work: do you make mistakes? If you don't answer that with an immediate "Yes," then you're in danger of being one of those delusional managers who blames others.
Don't kid yourself. The longer you survive in business, the more mistakes you'll make. It comes with the territory. Like in baseball, if you get up to bat you're going to make those outs. If you're the pitcher, you're going to throw some pitches that weren't strikes. And out on the field, you're going to make some errors. You have to recognize it to deal with it.
If you've been at business for a while, then anybody close to you -- like friends and family and especially team members in the business -- can quickly point to a mistake you've made to fit any context. Be aware that it's true for anybody in your position. Remind them, if you feel it's appropriate, that you're in the business of making mistakes, and if it weren't for what you've done right, you wouldn't still be in the game.

2. Accepting mistakes is good, but analyzing them is better
Much as I admire the general principles of Zen (as I understand them), just accepting the fact that you're making all those mistakes isn't good enough. Grab them, bring them into your head, and twist them around a bit to see what they can teach you about yourself, your business, and people in general. Keep an inventory of mistakes you can use to apply to future problems. They're food for thought, eye openers, and reminders. Don't forget them. Analyze them. Understand them.
It's about vision. Humility does a lot more for business vision than corrective lenses.
Some people say amnesia is good for thinking and process and mental health; I disagree. Don't dwell on your mistakes. Don't beat yourself up over them. But keep them close enough to help with the future.
3. Beware of the quicksand mistakes
I've written about quicksand problems elsewhere. Life is full of them, which means business is full of them, too. When you're trapped in quicksand, struggling makes it worse (or so I'm told; I haven't had the experience). The quicker you struggle, the faster you sink. You relax and accept your fate and you'll last longer, and maybe get rescued.
Some kinds of mistakes are quicksand problems: if you acknowledge them and change direction, you're way better off than if you try to fix them or hide them. Call out the mistake, file it, analyze it, and use it. Don't pretend you didn't make it.
4. Understand uncertainty
We need to remind each other that we walk a perpetual treadmill of uncertainty. We never once make a decision knowing the future, but we are all the time discovering we guessed wrong, in the past, about what was going to be happening in the future. You have to always keep in mind that when you made that mistake you didn't know what was going to happen. You were guessing, then, about what you know now. Ease up on yourself.
5. Mismanaged mistakes are team killer
Those of us in command must always remember that our people make mistakes, too, just like we do. Leadership and management come together on this point. When you give a task to somebody on your team you have to recognize that they make mistakes just like you do. You have to help them deal with mistakes, leading by example, and collaborating. You can't pretending these mistakes didn't happen. But you can't grind people's faces into them either.
Think of this concrete example: You want somebody to reserve hotels for your business travel. You don't like the hotel they reserved. What, and how, do you tell them so that they reserve you one you like better next time? If you do this one wrong, they'll never reserve a hotel for you again without giving you so much information and making you make so many choices that it would be easier to just do it yourself. When that happens, it's not their fault, it's yours; it's your reaction to some past mistake.

The same as last year , i will post the best films ( in my opinion ) each day through Christmas and New Year, that are being shown of Freeview and Terrestrial TV.
Ha Sid James ! Plus Alec Guinness & Alfie Bass.
Nice one Beds, I look forward to the annual terrorising of your selections !
Some good ones there particularly Lavender Hill Mob and Scarface.
But it's his opinion of the best films not a comprehensive list?
Cheers for these Beds. Gutted I missed yesterday's selections.
I rate The Terminal very highly. Superb performance from Hanks and directing from Spielberg.
On the dvd there is a great documentary on how they built a full size working airport terminal in a warehouse to film in.
Why list the films on ITV+1 and Film4+1?
Aren't these channels just ITV and Film4 but an hour later?
Gran Torino, what a quality film, one of Clint's best and there's been a few!!!!
What's the Tree of Life, Beds?
The impressionistic story of a Texas family in the 1950s. The film follows the life journey of the eldest son, Jack, through the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years as he tries to reconcile a complicated relationship with his father (Brad Pitt). Jack (played as an adult by Sean Penn) finds himself a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to the origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith. Stars: Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, Jessica Chastain.
Axactly what Abs has said.
One of my favourite films of the last couple of years. Not to everyone's taste though.
Agree with you. But channel four is an awful choice to watch it on, it's very much a film where you do not want adverts popping up every 25 minutes.
Have enjoyed the ITV 4 film adverts, where they're promoting Police Academy 2-5, not bothering with 1, 6 or 7 then??
That would be great, ta !
Are you telling me they made seven of those? God forbid.

I remember getting very still, the goosebumps on my arms, knowing I was witnessing a historic moment in all of neuroscience. Only one thing causes HD, and these scientists had just discovered it. Surely, there would be a cure for HD. It is now 22 years later, and we still don't have a treatment or cure. I decided to write Inside the O'Briens to hopefully create some much needed awareness and urgency about a disease most people know little about.

Civil vs. Incivil Discourse
"The Rise of Incivility" was the headline on an interesting dialogue published in the letters section of the New York Times this past Sunday. This exchange of views was presented in the broader context of recent commentaries asserting that political discourse in this country has broken down and that incivility is either a symptom or cause of the recent government shut down.
The initial letter in the dialogue was pegged to the tragic suicide some weeks ago of a young girl who had been viciously cyber-bullied by some of her peers. The writer suggested that this was an extreme and tragic manifestation of the fact that our society has become coarser and cruder in tone. He blamed this largely on digital communications and Internet anonymity enabling consequence-free hostility to spread unchecked. The other letter-writers responded to this idea, some disagreeing, others supporting the view that our society is becoming ruder and less civil.
I believe political discourse at its best involves an exchange of ideas and an attempt to understand different points of view. For this to happen, people need to be able to articulate their ideas. They also need to listen to the ideas of others. Such discourse requires a good measure of mutual respect.
An excellent example of political discourse was demonstrated here on October 8, when two leading economists, Arthur Laffer and Jared Bernstein, debated the role of the federal government in offsetting weak economies. Their fundamental positions differ greatly. Dr. Laffer advocates a very limited role for the federal government, Dr. Bernstein a much broader and more active role.
The two did not come to agreement on all issues. But they showed the value of reasoned argument and lively debate in political discourse. Both men were polite. They spoke freely, respected each other, and listened carefully to each other's ideas.
Their discussion underscored the importance of mutual respect and listening. It modeled what we seek to emulate in education in general and here at Oberlin in particular. As educators, we work to foster political discourse inside and outside the classroom.
The need to listen is at the heart of the educational process. But it seems to be missing in much of the contemporary political discourse in this country, where raised voices, name-calling, taunting, and distortions of fact are all too frequently the norm.
Articulating one's views is an important part of political discourse. But so is listening to the views of those who may disagree. A person can be a passionate advocate seeking to persuade others. Yet if that person doesn't listen to and respect those who hold differing views, the chances that anyone's mind will be changed are much diminished.
The great value of studying at a residential, liberal arts college is that political discourse can be practiced face-to-face in and out of the classrooms. By embracing mutual respect and civility in person, we are able to have meaningful conversations on difficult topics.
Such conversations are not just the basis for political discourse. They are an important part of the social and political process at Oberlin and in our country. Policies and practices—in government, in organizations, in businesses, and at Oberlin—are shaped by groups and individuals conceiving ideas and initiatives, nurturing them, and presenting them to the appropriate decision-making bodies. This process can take time. Done right it involves a lot of listening and thinking. But, in my view, it is the best way to achieve positive results. Our country and our world face many complex issues. Making progress in addressing any of them requires discourse and collaboration that is respectful and constructive. Otherwise, we're just talking to—or shouting at—ourselves.
What an exciting season this has been for Oberlin men's and women's soccer. The Yeowomen are a talented, young group that has made good progress under first-year coach Dan Palmer, winning four games after posting but one victory in 2012.
On the men's side, the soccer team is having an outstanding season. They are currently third in the North Coast Athletic Conference—one of the toughest Division III soccer conferences in the country—with a 4-1-2 conference record and are 12-2-3 overall. In front of a big, lively crowd this past weekend they played to a scoreless, double-overtime draw with Ohio Wesleyan University, ranked number one in the country and the defending national champion. On October 19, the Yeomen beat DePauw which was ranked 11th in the nation at the time.
The Yeomen play fast, attacking soccer. Please try and go support the team at its final home game tonight—Wednesday, October 30—against Allegheny College. The opening touch is scheduled for 7 p.m. at our Fred Shults Field.
Looking ahead, please remember to exercise your right to vote in the elections on Tuesday, November 5. There are a number of important local initiatives on the ballot, including providing financial support of Oberlin's excellent public library. So please get informed and get to the polls.

In Brooklyn, New York in 1969, a group of four boys walk up to Bleek Gilliam's Brownstone apartment and ask him to play baseball with them. Bleek's mother insists that he continue his trumpet lesson. His father becomes concerned that Bleek will grow up to be a sissy, and a family argument ensues. Bleek continues playing his trumpet, and his friends depart.
Over twenty years later, an adult Bleek performs on the trumpet at a busy nightclub with his successful jazz band, The Bleek Quintet. Giant, childhood friend and the band's manager, advises Bleek to stop allowing his saxophone player Shadow Henderson to grandstand with long solos.
The next morning Bleek wakes up with his girlfriend, Indigo Downes. She leaves to go to class, while he meets his father for a game of catch, telling him that while he likes Indigo, he likes other women too and is not ready to make a commitment. Later in the day while he is practicing, another woman named Clarke Bentancourt visits him. She suggests that he fire Giant as manager; he suggests that they make love (which he refers to as "mo' better"). He becomes upset when she bites his lip, saying, "I make my living with my lips."
Giant meets with his bookie to place bets. He meets Bleek at the club with the rest of the band, except for the pianist, Left Hand Lacey, who arrives late with his French girlfriend and is scolded by Giant. Later Giant goes to the club owners' office, points out how busy the club has been since Bleek and his band began playing there, and unsuccessfully attempts to renegotiate their contract.
Giant meets his bookie the next morning, who is concerned that Giant is going too deep into debt. Giant shrugs it off, and places several new bets. He then stops at Shadow's home to drop off a record. Shadow confides in him that he is cheating on his girlfriend. This leads to the next scene where Bleek is in bed with Clarke, and she asks him to let her sing a number at the club with his band. He declines her request.
Bleek and Giant fend off requests from the other band members for a raise due to the band's success. Bleek goes to the club owners to ask for more money, which they refuse, reminding him that Giant locked him into the current deal.
That night, both Clarke and Indigo arrive at the club to see Bleek. They are wearing the same style dress, which Bleek had purchased for them both. Bleek attempts to work it out with each girl, but they are both upset with him, and though he sleeps with them each again, they leave him (after he calls each of them by the other's name). However, tension rises with Shadow who has feelings for Clarke.
During a bike ride together, Bleek insists that Giant should try to do a better job managing the band. Giant promises to do so, and then asks Bleek for a loan to pay his gambling debts. Bleek declines, and later Giant is apprehended by two loan sharks who demand payment. Giant can't pay and gets his fingers broken. Later Giant tells Bleek that he injured himself during a cookout, but Bleek doesn't believe him. Giant asks the other band members for money, and Left loans him five hundred dollars. When loan sharks stake out Giant's home, he goes to Bleek for a place to stay who agrees to help him raise the money but fires him as manager.
Bleek misses both his girlfriends and leaves messages for each, but Clarke has begun a new relationship with Shadow. Bleek finds out about it and fires Shadow. The loan sharks find Giant at the club, take him outside, and beat him while Bleek plays, but before Bleek can raise the money. Bleek goes outside to intervene and gets beaten as well with one loan shark taking Bleek's own trumpet and smacking him across the face with it, permanently injuring his lip and making him unable to continue playing the trumpet.
Over a year later following his recovery and slump, Bleek reunites with Giant, who has become a doorman and stopped gambling. He drops in to see Shadow and Clarke, who got out of the former club's contract and are now performing together with the rest of Bleek's former band. Shadow invites him on stage, and they play together. Still with scars on his lips and unable to play well, Bleek walks off the stage, gives his trumpet to a supportive Giant, and goes directly to Indigo's house. Angry with him because he hasn't contacted her in over a year, she tries to reject him but agrees to take him back when he begs her to save his life.
A montage flashes through their wedding, the birth of their son Miles, and their happy family with Bleek teaching his son to play the trumpet. In the final scene, a ten-year-old Miles wants to go outside to play with his friends. Indigo wants him to finish his trumpet lessons. However, unlike in the opening scene, Bleek relents and allows his son to play with friends.

Main article: Mo' Better Blues (soundtrack)
The soundtrack to the film was composed and played by Branford Marsalis Quartet and Terence Blanchard. In 1991, the soundtrack was nominated for a Soul Train Music Award for Best Jazz Album.
Anti-Defamation League controversy
For his portrayal of Jewish nightclub owners Moe and Josh Flatbush, Lee drew the ire of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), B'nai B'rith, and other such Jewish organizations. The ADL claimed that the characterizations of the nightclub owners "dredge up an age-old and highly dangerous form of anti-Semitic stereotyping", and the ADL was "disappointed that Spike Lee – whose success is largely due to his efforts to break down racial stereotypes and prejudice – has employed the same kind of tactics that he supposedly deplores."[2]
Lee eventually responded in an editorial in The New York Times,[3] alleging "a double standard at work in the accusations of anti-Semitism" given the long history of negative portrayals of African-Americans in film: "Not every black person is a pimp, murderer, prostitute, convict, rapist or drug addict, but that hasn't stopped Hollywood from writing these roles for African-Americans". Lee argues that even if the Flatbush brothers are stereotyped figures, their "10 minutes of screen time" is insignificant when compared to "100 years of Hollywood cinema... [and] a slew of really racist, anti-Semitic filmmakers". According to Lee, his status as a successful African-American artist has led to hostility and unfair treatment: "Don't hold me to a higher moral standard than the rest of my filmmaking colleagues... Now that young black filmmakers have arisen in the film industry, all of a sudden stereotypes are a big issue... I think it's reaching the point where I'm getting reviewed, not my films."
Lee refused to apologize for his portrayal of the Flatbush brothers: "I stand behind all my work, including my characters, Moe and Josh Flatbush... if critics are telling me that to avoid charges of anti-Semitism, all Jewish characters I write have to be model citizens, and not one can be a villain, cheat or a crook, and that no Jewish people have ever exploited black artists in the history of the entertainment industry, that's unrealistic and unfair."[4]
Mo' Better Blues received mixed to positive reviews from critics, as the film holds a 71% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 34 reviews.

Building the right brand image enables you to stand out from authors with similar content. It also helps you to develop a strong connection with your readers.
You should be cautious of what you post on the different social media platforms such as Facebook or Twitter.
Your audience will judge you based on your posts like your political stand, opinion about trending topics in the society, how you engage with your audience or the videos you share on your timeline.
Whatever you post will be used for or against you. Sometimes it becomes very hard to strike the right balance of what you should post and how to post it or what you should not post due to the differences in your audience' preferences.
Have a separate page for your book early enough and remember to privatize your personal profile so as not to rub any of your audience in the wrong way with your private posts.
Separating your personal page from your writing page allows you to talk about your book to the right audience.
Constantly talking about your book to your friends about your books may drive them nut, especially if the book doesn't interest them. They will resolve to unfriending or block you.
A phrase like ''too soon'' should not apply to your eBook campaign process. Start the campaign early enough, probably, immediately you start writing the book.
Share the writing experience with your audience. Give them the behind the scene image of your writing process to create anxiety and raise interest in your work.

Understanding the social media platform that your audience use and the time when they are most active will allow you to post your book on the right platform at the most appropriate time.
Make the interaction with your readers as interesting as possible. Don't try too much to sale. Instead, interact with the audience, offer solutions to their problems, respond to their inquiries as soon as possible using simple and easy to interpret content.
It will not be economical to have millions of traffic if you do not convert them into leads. Create an effective landing page and include the link to this page on your social media page.
• A headline and sub-headline-You should have actionable and value-driven words in your headline. This will make it more enticing for people.
Your headline should also match the source copy. Subheads (optional), described in the simplest term possible what benefits your book offers.
• A short and precise description of the offer, emphasizing on its value.
• Supporting image- You are advised to use images that tell people what lies behind the landing page. You should also add ALT text to your images as a backup plan in cases where the website or browser fails.
• A lead capture form to capture the details of the visitors. The form should be short and precise.
Have quality and detailed content since most users prefer the contents with valuable and well-articulated information.
If you use fewer words, say less than 1000 in your complex eBook, your audience will take you less seriously and they may not read your book.
Create a book that is in line with your overall marketing campaign to allow you to display your authority and mastery of that particular subject.
Take the best chapters of the book and use them to create an excellent blog post, promotional emails, and infographics.
All these will boost your audience' trust in your business as they will consider you more credible and the best at what you are doing. The result will be more leads with little effort.
Readers who are happy and satisfied with your book will act as a great means of spreading the information about your book within and beyond social media platforms. They will gladly share the content of your book with their contacts.
They will also give reviews about your book if need be. The reviews act as social proof elements for those who are yet to make any decision to read the book.
Writing an eBook is one thing. Conducting a successful eBook marketing campaign is another thing altogether and should be given the maximum effort that it deserves if you intend to generate more leads for your business.


YOUR INDUSTRY COULD BE DISRUPTED OVERNIGHT. VISIONARY LEADERSHIP IS THE ONLY WAY THROUGH THE TUMULT. WE MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO CHART A POWERFUL COURSE.
Boards are thinking differently about engagement. We are all sick of too much paper, information buried in disconnected email streams and board portals that are little more than document management systems. Imagine 24/7 access to a robust, smart library with current versions of every important document you need and secure video-conferencing so you can engage anytime you need to — not just during episodic board meetings. That's what the future of board engagement feels like.
Keeping tabs on documents, due dates, and complex information is a hassle. Imagine nothing forgotten, including risk & regulatory elements, and having more time for what matters — like strategic planning, risk management, or improving performance — which is why you joined the board in the first place! Cloud Concinnity® has end-to-end management of board processes where complex logistics are automated and boardroom best practices are designed right into the DNA of the software. Yes, you can always be at the cutting edge.
Imagine nothing forgotten and everything measured. Our balanced board scorecard keeps track of your engagement over time to make sure everything important is covered. A company dashboard means transparency & accountability. The 360° evaluations mean the board can manage and evaluate itself, not some outsider without the proper context.
