TMT, once again, was the most active sector for M&A in 2016, generating more deal volume and value than any other industry. There were 1,114 TMT deals in the US in 2016 worth US$363 billion. Value was boosted by a series of megadeals in the sector, including AT&T's US$105 billion bid for Time Warner, Microsoft's US$25.5 billion acquisition of LinkedIn and CenturyLink's US$34.5 billion purchase of Level 3 Communications. Activity in the industry has been underpinned by a variety of drivers, including convergence between mobile telephony, broadband and content; appetite to acquire spectrum in order to service demand for wireless connectivity; and buying in social media technology. Industrials and chemicals recorded the second-highest deal volume, with 832 deals worth US$207.12 billion, including Bayer's US$63.4 billion move for Monsanto. Corporates in the sector have been pursuing M&A in order to consolidate an industry characterized by thin margins and low growth. Indeed, figures from the World Bank suggest that the percentage growth of value-added agriculture fell to under 3 percent in 2015 compared with 4.8 percent two years previously. Although it didn't match volumes in industrials and chemicals, the energy, mining and utilities industry posted the second-highest deal value by sector, with 451 deals worth US$338.6 billion. The energy infrastructure sector was particularly active. Indeed, Sunoco Logistics Partners buying Energy Transfer Partners for US$51.4 billion, Canada's Enbridge acquiring Spectra Energy for US$41.4 billion and NextEra Energy announcing a US$18.4 billion deal for Energy Future Holdings accounted for three of the 10 largest deals in the US in 2016.
Low commodity prices and falling margins have driven consolidation, spin-offs of non-core assets and businesses, as well as opportunities in distressed situations. While oil prices appear to be on the road to recovery for now, these pressures have reshaped the industry as we enter 2017. White & Case partner Greg Pryor notes that restructuring and consolidation has continued to be a primary driver of M&A in the oil and gas sector. "If you look back to 2012 and 2013, the price of oil has halved, upstream oil and gas companies have been in retrenchment mode, as have oilfield services businesses. Companies have had to cut costs and there hasn't been much investment as a result," Pryor says. "When there have been large deals, they have not been driven by growth, but more by defensive necessity." GE's US$31.7 billion merger of its oil and gas business with Baker Hughes also ranked among the 10 biggest US deals in 2016. The deal, seen by some market commentators as a transaction that will create the first energy services company operating across the supply chain in upstream exploration and production, mainstream transportation and downstream refining, could point the way to what other deals in the sector might look like in the future.
Although pharmaceuticals, medical and biotechnology dealmaking was down on 2015, with volume for 2016 coming in at 533 deals and value at US$176.77 billion, the sector still delivered some significant deals. These included Abbott Laboratories announcing a US$29.9 billion transaction to buy cardiovascular medical devices group St. Jude Medical and Irish pharma group Shire paying US$35.2 billion for US counterpart Baxalta.
Tax inversions, a driver of pharma M&A interest in 2015, may be less appealing after new rules restricting their use were drafted, but pharmaceutical companies still need to consider M&A seriously in order to replenish drug pipelines and buy new drugs to fill revenue gaps left by products about to go off-patent. For instance, AbbVie's acquisition of drug startup StemCentRx for US$5.8 billion in April was done to expand AbbVie's pipeline of oncology drugs.
"In pharma there's always a sense that companies need to be bigger to support R&D and fund the discovery of the next big blockbuster drug," says White & Case partner Mort Pierce. "It makes sense to combine, so I think you'll still see deals. Even before tax inversions became a driver of pharma deals there were a number of large deals in the pharma space. There is always that strategic imperative."
Sector watch: Industries seek M&A to fend off pressure
TMT continues to drive more deals than any other sector, but industrials and chemicals and energy, mining and utilities also performed strongly through 2016
Infrastructure opportunities Dealmakers in the infrastructure sector enjoyed a bumper year of M&A in 2016, with the energy infrastructure subsector especially busy.
Canadian pipeline business Enbridge's aforementioned acquisition of Spectra Energy Group for US$41.4 billion and Great Plains Energy's US$12.1 billion takeover of Westar Energy were both among the 10 largest transactions in the US in 2016. Other notable infrastructure deals included Fortis' US$11.3 billion deal for electricity transmission company ITC, Canada's Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp's US$2.4 billion purchase of Empire District Electric Company and Legal & General's public-private partnership with the University of California to expand its Merced campus. The latter deal is Legal & General's first infrastructure deal in the US and the first public-private partnership (PPP) in the education sector in the US.
The recovery of real estate M&A
Despite flat construction levels and tight lending, M&A activity in the real estate and hospitality sector has held steady during the last year.
Landmark projects, such as the multi-use Hudson Yards development in New York, and continued interest in US real estate from investors abroad, sustained activity levels and offset low growth expectations for real estate investments. Analysis by investment bank Lazard shows that although almost two-thirds of real estate companies reduced 2017 earnings guidance, net operating income (NOI) growth in core real estate sectors such as apartments and hotels is still outpacing inflation. Lazard is forecasting 3.6 percent growth for the sector in 2017 and 3.2 percent in 2018.
White & Case partner Steven Lutt says foreign investment was one of the key drivers of the steady performance of the real estate M&A market. Indeed, some of the biggest real estate US deals in 2016 included China's Anbang Insurance Group acquiring Strategic Hotels & Resorts for US$5.5 billion and Brookfield Property Partners sale of a 49 percent stake in 1 New York Plaza to China Investment Corp.
Willingness from investors to take minority stakes in assets or enter into joint ventures has also helped to keep deals flowing. This has helped to bring sellers, especially those reluctant to sell out of landmark properties altogether, to the table.
Looking forward to 2017, Lutt expects more of the same. Rising interest rates may squeeze real estate returns, which could widen price expectations between buyers and sellers. There are also signs that some markets may be softening. New President Donald Trump, however, should be supportive of the industry, especially if he follows through on promises to reduce banking regulation. This could help to free up financing for smaller real estate projects, which have found it difficult to source bank funding because of regulatory restrictions.
"Deals will still get done. There are buyers out there and there is still inventory of good projects to invest in," Lutt says.
Jason Webber, a partner at White & Case, believes that the sector is in for an even busier year in 2017.
"It is a very good time to be an infrastructure dealmaker in the US. Investment in midstream oil and gas and power infrastructure is really going to take off and the outlook for investment in public infrastructure, like airports and toll roads, is also very positive," he says.
Webber says it is important to make a distinction between energy infrastructure and public infrastructure, as they have different drivers and are financed in different ways. Both infrastructure groupings, however, stand to benefit from policies outlined by new President Donald Trump.
With regards to energy infrastructure, Webber says the new administration is noticeably "pro oil and gas, pro coal and pro energy, and anti-regulation of those markets", which makes it much more likely that projects such as Keystone XL and the Dakota Access Pipeline will be built.
"I think that there will be a significant uptick in oil and gas infrastructure investment, and it will dovetail with the stabilization of the price of oil. You are going to see a lot of activity involving these kinds of assets," Webber says.
Public infrastructure, meanwhile, should receive a boost from Trump's plans to secure US$1 trillion of new investment in infrastructure and support PPPs through tax breaks.
"As a businessman, and as someone who is involved in real estate and construction, I think President Trump sees PPPs and similar structures as a compelling way to follow through on his promise to increase investment in infrastructure," Webber says. "I think that there are reasons for being very, very optimistic that Trump will be able to invigorate the PPP market in the US and to really take it to the next level."
In addition to a supportive administration, infrastructure M&A will also be driven by the substantial sums raised by infrastructure funds. In a low interest rate environment, investors have been desperate for yield, which has seen investment in infrastructure soar. According to Preqin, investors committed US$57.5 billion to infrastructure funds in 2016, which pushed up the amount of dry powder available for infrastructure deals to US$140 billion. "Interest rates have been so low, especially in Europe where a lot of the capital comes from. As a result, institutional investors are looking at infrastructure as part of their 'real assets pool' very favorably and putting a lot of capital to work," Webber says. "What that means is a large amount of M&A activity in infrastructure. Everybody needs to deploy, because you have to get those funds to work and you have a limited time period to invest." With a new administration in place and large pools of capital seeking deals, the outlook for infrastructure transactions is very bright indeed.
In focus: Tech and M&A

Q: I want to "bootstrap" (read average) my regression results Question
So what I want to do is simple. I want to run a regression 10 times (or one hundred times), and somehow combine or average the outcomes. Obviously normally running a regression multiple times does not change the outcome, but for mine it does (see below).
Background
You can use the package sure (link), to calculate surrogate residuals of a polr with resids.*
The problem is that these surrogate residuals require sampling from a continuous distribution; consequently, the result will be different with every call to resids (they don't converge from bootstrapping the residuals).
To circumvent this issue, I want kind of "bootstrap" this whole deal, until (in contrast to the residuals) perhaps the model converges (this is probably too much to ask, but lets say I want to get a good average).
DATA
library(sure) # for residual function and sample data sets
library(MASS) # for polr function

df1 <- df1
df1$z1 <- df1$x
df1$x <- NULL
df1$x <- df2$y
df1$z2 <- df2$x
df1$y <- df3$x

mod1 <- polr(as.ordered(x) ~ z1 + z2, data=df1, method='probit')
df1$residuals <- resids(mod1, nsim=100, method="latent")
mod2 <- lm(y ~ x + residuals + z1 + z2, data=df1)
summary(mod2)

.*The package is based on this paper, in the Journal of the American Statistical Association.

Q: How to send a secure mail merge with attachments using a secure file transfer tool? Is there a secure file transfer tool which can also do mail merge? Or an R package that can do this?
I would like to send a secure mail merge with attachments to 145 people. Each attachment is customised to the recipient. I have a spreadsheet with a table of email addresses and the corresponding file attachment names that need to be sent.
The attachments need to be sent securely so in the past I have used a secure file transfer tool to send attachments customised to each of the 145 recipients. There is no mail merge feature in the secure file transfer tool (or API that I am aware of that can enable mail merge with attachments).
So each customised attachment was sent to the respective recipient separately, manually going through the send steps to send an attachment to each recipient.
Any hints or tips would be much appreciated. Thanks.


I both love and hate Sundays. I love spending time with hubby. Sundays we probably spend the most time together. We've been watching the last two seasons of Supernatural that we have DVR'd. It's enjoyable, passes time and I get to look at two extra cute guys. LOL . The reason I hate Sundays is I know Monday is coming and hubby will leave to go to work and I'll be wandering the house for the next week. Hubby is getting 9 days off in a row next week though so I just have to make it past this one.
I haven't done much else today except for realize that I've really let myself go. I need to start working on everything. However that is overwhelming so I will likely start with one thing at a time. It's easier to focus for me if I introduce stuff slowly. I've already been working on my diet. Now I am going to be working certain muscles out every single time I think about it. Which I hope is a lot, I'm not setting alarms for it though as it is easier to just do it the second I start thinking about it.
I removed a Facebook page I liked yesterday. It's all pro animal and often shows videos of rescues. I love the rescues and the babies finding their new homes. I hate seeing what people will do to an innocent. It makes my stomach and heart hurt like no one business. I am one of those people that usually bury my head in the sand so I don't find out about the bad things going on in the world. I mean my brain is already my greatest enemy, who needs the scum of the earth added to my already fragile mind.
Ever wanted to make a difference, have no idea where to start and feel that your social anxiety/agoraphobia will stop you from doing anything of value.
My best friend Dani who passed last year would foster animals and go to pet adoptions to help out. Even with fighting cancer she stepped out and did really good things. I wish I was more like her. She was so brave. I could handle the animals it's the people I am terrified of. I need to get past this fear, I'm 47 I think it is about time I did something with my life.

Q: Solve for $z$ : $(z+1/z)^n=1$ I have solved that $z+1/z= \cos (2k\pi/n)  + i \sin (2k\pi/n)$ where $k$ is integer,
then how can I continue?

A: One may continue as follows:
setting
$\omega = e^{2 \pi i /n}, \tag 1$
we see that
$\omega^k = e^{2k \pi i / n} = \cos \dfrac{2k\pi}{n} + i \sin \dfrac{2k\pi}{n}, \; 0 \le k \le n - 1, \tag 2$
so with
$z + \dfrac{1}{z} = \omega^k, \tag 3$
we write
$z^2 - \omega^k z + 1 = 0, \tag 4$
and apply the quadratic formula:
$z = \dfrac{\omega^k \pm \sqrt{\omega^{2k} - 4}}{2}, \; 0 \le k \le n -1. \tag 5$

In 1994, when the first gambling regulation was introduced, sports betting as a service almost ceased to exist due to its low popularity and the newly adopted regulation, which made the service more complicated to provide. However, in the late nineties, along with economic growth, the emergence of casinos, and the increasing popularity of slot machines, sports betting also became more popular. The growth in the industry brought light to different types of wagering and bookmaking, but sports betting became the most popular of them. Consequently betting reception centers were opened throughout the largest cities of Latvia. The Latvian parliamentary letter was sent last month to John Bercow MP, the Speaker of the Commons.

Great design begins with deep understanding and empathy for people's lived experiences. It requires an ability to put yourself in the shoes of the people who will interact with the solutions you create.
People are complex — and unpredictable. Their behavior may be driven by specific personality traits, but it's also shaped by external stressors and situations.
Designers have long used personas to construct "user profiles" to inform their work. However, we've observed a few problems with the way personas are created. In some cases, the process is a time, labor, and resource-intensive endeavor. In others, it's a quick, off-the-cuff jam session that results in stereotyped caricatures based on designers' personal beliefs, biases, and assumptions. And both of these approaches can lead to static personas that aren't flexible enough to be used for future design work.
In this workshop you'll get hands-on experience in creating personas that are project-specific, contextual to a person's life situation, and based primarily on behavior attributes. You'll hear our rationale for bringing diverse groups of stakeholders and designers together to create personas collaboratively. And, you'll have an opportunity to try the MPACT methodology for yourself.
Note: If you can't join us at HXD, but would like to learn more about Mad*Pow's persona-building methodology, you can watch our recent webinar. We also have information about MPACT on our website.


505 Queen Ann St. in George West, Texas is the best of both worlds. You have a home on almost half an acre in the middle of town that is completely remodeled. This is a basically brand new house is a few blocks from the high school, yet has a spacious backyard for privacy or even a garden. Here you'll experience the charm of a classic home with a modern floorplan and newly-installed everything.
George West is an hour away from both Corpus Christi and San Antonio, in the center of Live Oak County. You're also close to Choke Canyon State Park that is fifteen miles north of George West. Choke Canyon is appealing because of first-class fishing and birding, as well as swimming, camping, geocaching, hiking and places to play basketball, tennis, and soccer.
Lake Corpus Christi State Recreation Area, twenty miles south of George West, is a prime spot for skiing, swimming, and fishing. Caution though, there are alligators in the area.
In town, you can spend time at the regional recreational park adjacent to Veterans Memorial Airport that provides playing fields and picnic areas as well as boat ramps to the Nueces River.
George West claims the title of the Storytelling Capital of Texas. Like most Texas towns, they have a festival in honor of their specialties, in this case, it's storytelling. Storyfest is enjoying almost three decades of success as it continues to pass down local history in a series of live demonstrations.
On occasion, you'll hear tall tales being told in the Texas State Liars' Competition held in conjunction with Storyfest. It's fun to listen to the participants spin wild fables during heated competition.
Then there is Winterfest, a celebration of the season we don't see much of in this part of Texas. Organizers make the most of our temperate climate, though. They somehow pull off creating an ice rink and other outdoor fun for kids of all ages. Plus there's food. It wouldn't be a Texas festival without good food. Best of all, it's a free event. Bring the family and friends to experience Winterfest.
Amenities of 505 Queen Ann St.

Q: Replacing document.write with jQuery for conversion tracking code There are these tracking scripts that were being used, but they were modified by somebody else a while back because it was causing problems on some pages. The conversion tracking is currently not working, and I don't understand how jQuery is being used to replace the original JavaScript, which are pretty straightforward.

*

*Note that I could not verify if the fix even ever worked. They're on somebody else's server and account, and I'm unable to get clear information from them.

Universal tag (appears on all pages) changes:
From...
<script type="text/javascript">
    var ATRK_CLIENT_ID="0000000" ;
    var ATRK_PROTOCOL=(("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://" : "http://");
    document.write(unescape("%3Cscript type='text/javascript' src='" + ATRK_PROTOCOL + "js.acq.io/ATRK_" +
    ATRK_CLIENT_ID + "_min.js' %3E%3C/script%3E" ));
</script>

To...
<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(function(){
        var ATRK_CLIENT_ID="0000000" ;
        var ATRK_PROTOCOL=(("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://" : "http://");
        jQuery.getScript(ATRK_PROTOCOL + "js.acq.io/ATRK_" + ATRK_CLIENT_ID + "_min.js");
    });
</script>

Conversion code (appears on order success page):
From...
<script type="text/javascript">
    ...
    ATRKtracker.setTransId('1234567890');
    ...
</script>

To...
<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(function(){
        ...
        ATRKtracker.setTransId('1234567890');
        ...
    });
</script>

The tracking software is not receiving any tracking information, and I'm not familiar with jQuery or Javascript.
Questions

*

*In the "fixed" conversion script, is it even necessary to use jQuery? It looks to me you can remain using the original conversion code, regardless of the universal tag modification.

*The universal tag is really only writing <script type="text/javascript" src="http://js.acq.io/ATRK_0000000_min.js"></script> or <script type="text/javascript" src="https://js.acq.io/ATRK_0000000_min.js"></script> Could you just hardcode and always just use http or https regardless of document.location.protocol?
Any ideas?

A: To answer your questions:

*

*As @ingo-bürk states the answer is no but the issue you saw is probably because the implementation was wrong. The function wrapped in jQuery() was never executed eg. by placing round brackets after it (). The getScript() change is fine, and the ATRKtracker.setTransID() call can stay as it was before.

*You could hard code it if you can be sure of your protocol but the snippets provided by companies like that are written to work for all kinds of set ups. I'd probably just leave the protocol off all together now though eg. <script src="//js.acq.io/ATRK_0000000_min.js"></script> to get the same effect.

Escherichia coli O157:H7 in a cohort of weaned, preconditioned range beef calves
John R. Dunn, James E. Keen, Ron Del Vecchio, Thomas E. Wittum, R. Alex Thompson
Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences
Escherichia coli O157:H7 (EC O157) is an important cause of foodborne disease. Cattle are reservoirs for the bacteria and are implicated in transmission to humans. Prevalence data in prefeedlot calves are limited. With the use of sensitive methods, a cohort of weaned beef calves (n = 408) was sampled before and after preconditioning to estimate fecal point prevalence and describe changes in EC O157 fecal shedding. EC O157 isolates were confirmed and characterized by PCR and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Calves from 29 cow-calf farms were commingled at three preconditioning sites and placed on a transition ration containing oxytetracycline (200 g/ton) for 45 days. Initial animal-level fecal point prevalence was 2.5% (95% confidence interval, 1 to 5) with a herd-level prevalence of 17.2% (95% confidence interval, 6 to 36). Point prevalence following the preconditioning feeding period was 0%. An unexpected finding in our study was EC O157 isolates that were Shiga toxin-deficient. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis subtypes of EC O157 were unique in epidemiologically unlinked herds, except one herd that had two unique subtypes. We expected, but observed, neither increased fecal shedding in the cohort nor horizontal transmission of unique EC O157 subtypes. The absence of fecal shedding following the 45-day feeding period might be attributable to seasonal influences, inhibitory concentrations of oxytetracycline in the transition ration, or transient colonization that ended before sampling. EC O157 is apparently widely dispersed at low prevalence in U.S. prefeedlot, weaned calves.

N2 - Escherichia coli O157:H7 (EC O157) is an important cause of foodborne disease. Cattle are reservoirs for the bacteria and are implicated in transmission to humans. Prevalence data in prefeedlot calves are limited. With the use of sensitive methods, a cohort of weaned beef calves (n = 408) was sampled before and after preconditioning to estimate fecal point prevalence and describe changes in EC O157 fecal shedding. EC O157 isolates were confirmed and characterized by PCR and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Calves from 29 cow-calf farms were commingled at three preconditioning sites and placed on a transition ration containing oxytetracycline (200 g/ton) for 45 days. Initial animal-level fecal point prevalence was 2.5% (95% confidence interval, 1 to 5) with a herd-level prevalence of 17.2% (95% confidence interval, 6 to 36). Point prevalence following the preconditioning feeding period was 0%. An unexpected finding in our study was EC O157 isolates that were Shiga toxin-deficient.

Teetering on the Edge of Legal Nihilism: Russia and the Evolving European Human Rights Regime

In 2013, Russia's human rights record remains one of the poorest among the members of the Council of Europe. A painstakingly sluggish compliance with international human rights obligations and several recent incidents of the crackdown on civil society since Putin's return to the presidency, as demonstrated by a series of restrictive laws, harassment, and intimidation of political prisoners, interference in the work of non-governmental organizations and a notorious prosecution of the feminist punk band Pussy Riot, cast further doubt on the Kremlin's genuine commitment to perform its obligations under the Convention. This essay in Part I maps out the place of the ECHR in Russian law and practice, highlighting the most important hurdles to smoother relations between Russia and the ECtHR as well as to fuller enjoyment of Convention rights by individuals in the country. Part II considers the current round of proposed reforms of the European human rights regime as embodied in the 2012 Brighton Declaration, with particular attention to the relevance of such reforms for Russia in view of the elements highlighted in Part I.

People. There are multiple ways in which you could define that word. In strictly scientific terms, you could say people are a biological species. From a business perspective, people are resources. From a spiritual standpoint, they are a potential force in bettering the world.
But no matter how the word is defined, one thing is always true as far as a business leader is concerned: the people who comprise an organization are the most important part of your business. In fact, the quality of their performance and their mindset would determine how far the business could progress.
Keeping this in mind, let's look at some of the key aspects related to people in an organization. An astute leader would do well to ensure these aspects are up to the mark, for the business to flourish.
This is vision that could only be found within one's own self- innate to oneself. This vision functions as a constant guiding light for the person, putting him or her on a constant trajectory of progress. The performance quality of a vision inspired change agent is consistently above the par.
Temenos Vision Lab or TVL is a unique session developed by Temenos+Agility that helps change agents discover their True Personal Vision.
Developed based on 25 years of business consultancy experience and incorporating psychological insights, TVL enlists some of the best leadership coaches to help guide you to your vision.
The approach taken in TVL to help you discover your vision is holistic. It is an unfortunate truth of the modern era to compartmentalise people's selves into different silos. For example, we may consider different aspects like 'professional self' personal self' and 'social self' in terms of a personality.
This fragmentation is like viewing the self as a broken mirror with distinct pieces that are somehow glued together. Needless to say, this doesn't give you a clear picture of the personality.
In TVL, it is ensured that the individual is considered as a whole- encompassing the different so-called 'selves' we mentioned before while helping him or her in discovering their vision. Otherwise, there exists the danger that the vision you arrive at is unreal- pertaining to one or the other of your selves. For example, maybe what you arrive at is a goal for your professional self.
The problem with such an approach is that as an individual you are never completely content even if that particular goal is achieved. Because the other fragments of your self are discontent, asking, "What about my goal?" Your True Personal Vision, on the other hand, is one all these different fragments are in agreement with.
Paradoxically, that vision could be realized only if the individual is considered as a holistic self. Which is exactly what the TVL trainers are adept at doing.
The human being as a singular person with agency is a curious phenomenon. At the level of individual cognition, each of us is a person, someone bestowed with the power to think and act.
But zooming out from our own mind and observing ourselves with detachment, we would see that there are different aspects at play with address out thoughts and actions. These influences could be anything from the personal to the professional and more.
For instance, certain actions might have for their base influences which we experienced in our young age. Habits which were formulated at a time we often don't think about may be influencing your actions. Then, there are instances in which an idea that you mistakenly believed based on some past incident might be working as the basis for some decision or action.
This could be rather dangerous. You may be taking the wrong decisions based on influences that you may not be consciously aware of. To tackle this requires more than just will power.
The Influence Maps is a proprietary tool from Temenos+Vision which is used in TVL that helps you map t all the different influences that are addressing your thoughts and actions. The process could be considered as the mapping of the constellations in your mind, so that you would know which one to frequently traverse and which one to keep away from.
The result of the process is a smarter decision-making self, more aware of one's own inherent powers.
Clean slate could be defined as a 'no-baggage' mental state; one in which the change agent id devoid of negative emotions and misapprehensions that may be preventing them from reaching their full potential. Clean Slate is also the name of an important session that's part of TVL, which helps change agents achieve exactly such a mental state.
Objectives and key results are two sides of the same coin- the coin being the change agent's performance. The objective is the goal towards which the change agent moves and key results are the parameters based on which it's judged whether these objectives are met or not.
A team's performance is optimal if the goal they are moving towards is born from among their own selves than imposed from the outside. A goal that is as meaningful as it is compelling. This is the Compelling Shared Vision and teams are helped to discover it in TVL.
Culture is the greatest intangible in an organization. A better work culture leads to better productivity and innovation. Any business that has for its sole priority the volume of money they make, having a work culture in which the interpersonal relations are frayed is a poor business by any definition.
Talking about interpersonal relations, in TVL, change agents are encouraged to share their personal narratives of overcoming challenges with each other and also their vision. This leads to better understanding among the team members, thereby bolstering the team as a unit.
A good leader is able to inspire his or her subordinates. A great leader stays inspired by his or her True Personal Vision. In fact, the two are interlinked since a leader without a vision wouldn't be able to inspire others into action.
While True Personal Vision may be innate to everyone, it often gets obscured thanks to the myriad distractions of everyday life. This is particularly disheartening for leaders since the vision could be their best ally in times of confusion. And that's also the reason why TVL could be useful for leaders more than anyone else.
The first indicator of the functional quality of a workforce is language. The terms they use to communicate with each other, the names of the most common processes etc. give an indication of their approach to work. And introducing changes in the language could well change the attitude as well.
Deeper than language are the habits- the deeds which the workforce performs almost without thinking, possibly every day in the process of carrying out their work. Sometimes, by improving or changing some of these habits, you could bring about a massive change in the quality of work.
Then, there's mindset. It would be stating the blatantly obvious that improving the workforce's mindset would result in better quality of work. And there are methods to achieve that- the psychological practice of 'nudging' being one of them.
As a consultant dedicated to improving work culture and productivity, Temenos+ Agility helps improve quality of organizations by bringing about positive changes on all three fronts- languages, habits and mindset.
The trainers work in close conjunction with the change agents on all three fronts. In terms of language, first the current state of the organization is assessed. The way interactions are conducted and the language used to describe projected future are also assessed. Then, based on the desired forward trajectory, meaningful amendments are introduced into the lexicography of the organization.
For effecting changes in habits, the trainers work closely with the change agents on a relatively long-term format. Rather than force a set of habits to be adopted by the change agents- which rarely succeed, Temenos+Agility adopts a more interactive approach. By understanding the change agents' mode of functioning, they are then encouraged to retain the desired habits. Simultaneously, they are provided with the necessary tools and guidance to adapt new positive habits.
The trickle down effect of the renewed language and habits brings a change to the mindset as well. In terms of mindset, Temenos+Agility ensures a change on two fronts: the personal and the collective. The former results in a more focused and productive change agent while the latter leads to better work culture in the organization.
While it's widely agreed that Agility is a model that's beneficial for organizations to adopt, on the implementation level, failures are still aplenty.
To minimize this and maximize the impact of agility, Temenos+Agility offers the Vision Agility Model.
Agility, simply put demands transition. From old way of doing things to a new way. From an earlier hierarchy to a new one. The reason why many Agile implementations fail is that change agents are rarely ready for a transformation. This shouldn't be surprising because it's natural for people to be resistant to any sudden changes.
To overcome this problem, Temenos+Agilty paves the way to the agile transformation by helping change agents realize their vision. Leaders are guided to their True Personal Vision while teams are helped to realize their Compelling Shared Vision. Now, the team members have a shared goal towards which they could move.
This shared goal forms a great context for agility. Using agile principles, they could now attain that shared goal. Since the Compelling Shared Vision is born from among the team members, they now have the innate desire to achieve their goal. And Agility- being a tool that would help them in the same could be easily implemented in this scenario.

Revealed: New Will Smith Movie Edited Entirely with Final Cut Pro
It's no secret that Final Cut Pro is a robust video editing platform used by countless filmmakers and TV editors around the world. But if you're new to Final Cut, you may not even realize that Hollywood studios are increasingly using the same exact software to edit their blockbusters.
FREE TUTORIALS ➨
The vast video and audio editing capabilities, combined with the intuitive design, make it the go-to platform for both beginners and industry pros.
Just as an example, Apple revealed last month that the upcoming Will Smith flick, Focus, was edited entirely with Final Cut Pro X. Directors John Requa and Glenn Ficarra needed a system with greater flexibility – something that would allow them to easily edit "on the go," moving frequently between the editing room and their MacBook Pro on-location. Additionally, Apple says on its website, "[The platform] had to be robust enough to reliably organize and process 2K Apple ProRes 4444 footage from production through multiple stages of post."
The directors evaluated several options before deciding on Final Cut Pro X, using it to cut the feature film in its entirety – ultimately saving money (it came in under budget) and time.
In an interview with Apple, Requa said, "We got exactly the film we set out to make … What I love about Final Cut Pro X is that it allowed me to be involved with, and in control of, every aspect of making our film."
The directors captured more than 145 hours of footage, shot over 61 days in New Orleans, Buenos Aires, and New York City. Editing was finished in about 11 months using 1 editor, 3 assistants and hands-on work by Requa and Ficarra. In total there were 117 scenes that were edited at full resolution, often right on the set, freeing up hours that would normally be spent in an off-site editing suite.
Ready to edit your own Hollywood blockbuster?
Learn how to use Final Cut like the pros with help from Larry Jordan's comprehensive online video tutorials, webinars and tips.
Larry Jordan is renowned for his expertise on editing and Final Cut Pro.

Grey Poupon, S'il Vous Plait?
I received my first homework assignment yesterday for graduate school. Well, sort of. It's a little project in preparation for Orientation next Wednesday. When I first read through it I was overwhelmed, but after taking a deep breath and reading it again with a calmer mindset it was totally manageable. I know this is nothing compared to what I will really be working on once classes begin, but just learning this new terminology and starting to understand what all of this is going to mean as my career is nothing short of thrilling. My text book has arrived, I have purchased my notebooks and now it's only a week and three days before classes officially begin. Another exciting piece of this is that I have planned out my outfits for Orientation! I want to look stylish and bookish and librarian chic without being too over the top. Stay tuned for photos from that adventure! For the three days of Orientation I will be staying with my darling cousin at her house in Seattle, so I'll get to absorb library school information during the day and watch musicals with her in the evenings. Life is good. Happy weekend, all!
Love that mustard color on you and the bow tie is so cute! Good luck with orientation...I'm sure you'll do great in school! Can't wait to see the orientation looks. Have a great weekend!
Good luck on your first assigment! And AMAZING yellow dress...just to die for.
Very cute yellow dress paired with the leopard flats! Good luck on grad school!
Good luck with school! That dress is so cute!
