Philosophy of Achievement
Posted on June 23, 2015 by johwq64851
RES GESTA PER EXCELLENTIAM
Many paths lead to achievement. People regularly achieve greatness–as measured by wealth, influence and status–by the adroit use of self-promotion, its sibling, marketing, and the handmaiden to both, deceit. Bribery, coercion and other forms of persuasion have also led many to "greatness." All such paths are controversial, exciting some and dismaying others. But all, when navigated by the proper type of person, are demonstrably effective. In this lab, however, we have no interest in wealth, influence or status. Instead, we focus exclusively on a goal we see as thoroughly laudable and significant—the deepest possible understanding of the universe. For us there exists only one possible route to success, the signpost to which is found on a NASA mission patch, of all places.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration loves patches. As a NASA scientist once told me, "if you don't have a patch, you don't have a mission." Even those who control missions have their own patch. The Mission Control patch was designed by the legendary flight director, Eugene (Gene) Kranz, and Robert McCall, one of the greatest American artists of the 20th Century (and who contributed much of the artwork adorning the Natural Sciences buildings at SCC). Mission Control is short for Mission Operations Control Room, or MOCR (pronounced "Mow-kur"). But it was much more than just a room. Here, flight control teams worked continuously with the astronauts to monitor the spacecraft and other mission hardware, solved problems and generally protected the lives of the flight crew while focused on success of the mission. Mission Control was, quite literally, an indispensable part of the only successful attempt in Earth's history to set humans down on another world. And Gene Kranz was indispensable to Mission Control. He has been intimately involved in the flights of all U.S. crewed spacecraft. He was assistant flight director for Mercury, flight director (head of a MOCR team) for all Gemini and Apollo missions, promoted to Deputy Director and then Director of the Mission Operations Directorate during the Space Shuttle years, and finally retired after 34 years at NASA following the successful repair of the Hubble Space Telescope by the STS-61 crew (December 1993). Kranz knows something about achievement.
McCall credits Kranz for the design of the patch, saying he (McCall) did little more than make it easily reproducible. This is probably something of an understatement–those familiar with McCall's work would recognize his hand even if they knew nothing of his role in making the emblem–but essentially all elements of the patch reflect Kranz's leadership style. The patch is circular, with a "legacy ring" surrounding a central picture. The picture is anchored by the Earth at the bottom, from which rises a Saturn V rocket boosting an Apollo spacecraft on a jet of flame toward the moon and sun while a satellite orbits Earth below. The "Mission Control" identifier is overlain by the greek letter sigma (∑) representing teamwork (summing up). At the bottom of the "legacy ring" sit icons for Mercury, Gemini and Apollo, all crewed U.S. spacecraft up to that time. The top of the ring holds prominent the Latin phrase, res gesta par excellentiam [sic]–"achieve through excellence."
Original Mission Control patch designed by Gene Kranz and Robert McCall in 1973.
The emblem has changed since then. NASA turns to Michael Okuda, a graphic designer largely responsible for look of the fictional technology in Star Trek movies and The Next Generation television shows, whenever it feels the need to update the patch. During these redesigns, the Apollo-Saturn stack has been replaced first by the shuttle and then by a stylized spacecraft that, according to one website, "represent[s] the growing variety of U.S. space vehicles in operation." (This is, of course, disingenuous–NASA has no crewed spacecraft in operation, and they are not about to put a Russian rocket on a U.S. patch.) The stars were rearranged to represent U.S. astronauts who died in the Apollo 1, STS-51-L (Challenger) and STS-107 (Columbia) missions. "Mission Control" became "Mission Operations" and then "Flight Operations." The sun was replaced by Mars, and then both Moon and Mars were deemphasized and shown as barely visible crescents. The orbiting satellite was replaced by the International Space Station and then by…something. The legacy ring has added Skylab, the shuttle, the Russian MIR space station and the ISS. But throughout all these alterations one thing never changed: the Latin inscription at the top (except for a slight grammatical correction).
Mission Operations Emblem during the Space Shuttle era.
There is a reason for that, extending beyond NASA flight operations. The NASA flight directors during the Apollo era were among the greatest leaders the world has ever produced. I am sure there are those who dismisses this statement as childish hyperbole, but they are wrong. Listen to the flight director's audio loop during Glynn Lunney's first shift following the Apollo 13 accident, and then consider the qualities of flight directors who helped achieve a goal so extraordinary that a significant fraction of subsequent generations refuse to believe it was really achieved. But it was. And because they were great leaders, those responsible have taught us how they did it because they realized that the lesson applies to anyone accepting the challenge of significant goals: res gesta per excellentiam.
Current Flight Operations Emblem.
Excellence is also our path to achievement. It is the only one available to those of us compelled to study Nature honestly. But what does it mean, "achieve through excellence?" This is explained in the "Foundations of Mission Control," published by Kranz in his book, "Failure is not an option" (Kranz 2000). Here are the foundations, slightly edited to fit our purpose:
To instill within ourselves these qualities essential for professional excellence:
Discipline. Being able to follow as well as lead, knowing that we must master ourselves before we can master our task.
Competence. There being no substitute for total preparation and complete dedication, for [Nature] will not tolerate the careless or indifferent.
Confidence. Believing in ourselves as well as others, knowing that we must master fear and hesitation before we can succeed.
Responsibility. Realizing that it cannot be shifted to others, for it belongs to each of us; we must answer for what we do, or fail to do.
Toughness. Taking a stand when we must; to try again, and again, even if it means following a more difficult path.
Teamwork. Respecting and utilizing the ability of others, realizing that we work toward a common goal, for success depends on the efforts of all.
…To recognize that the greatest error is not to have tried and failed, but that in trying, we did not give it our best effort.
This is what is meant by res gesta per excellentiam. This is our path, and we will do our utmost to remain on it at all times.

Spring Film Series 2019 – Screening of Bright Flower and the Scars from the Stone and The Dark Side of Green
7 p.m. – 9 p.m.
Joukowsky Forum, 111 Thayer Street
Bright Flower and the Scars from the Stone (Flor Brilhante e as cicatrizes da pedra, Jade Rainho, 2013)
Bright Flower is the matriarch of an indigenous family of Guarani-Kaiowá shamans living in the Reserve of Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. There, deprived of their original way of life, they struggle to survive preserving ancient knowledge and culture, while dealing with the effects and ailments caused by the continuous explosions of an asphalt plant, which has been destroying and exploiting a sacred stone in the territory of the village for over 40 years.
The Dark Side of Green (À Sombra de um Delírio Verde, An Baccaert, Cristiano Navarro and Nico Muñoz, 2011)
In the southern border region of Mato Grosso do Sul, on the border with Paraguay, the most populous indigenous nation of the country silently struggles for its territory, trying to contain the advance of its powerful enemies. Expelled from their lands because of the continuous process of colonization, more than 40,000 Guarani Kaiowá live nowadays on less than 1% of their original territory. Thousands of hectares of sugarcane are planted on their lands by multinational companies that, in agreement with the government, present ethanol to the world as an environmentally friendly and "clean" fuel. Without their lands and forests, the Guarani Kaiowá have struggled for years with an epidemic of malnutrition that afflicts their children. With no alternative for subsistence, adults and children are exploited in the cane fields for grueling labor. On the production line of the "clean" fuel, the Federal Public Prosecutor constantly sues the owners of the plants because of the child and slave labor found there. Amid the delirium of the "green gold fever" (the name given to the sugarcane), indigenous leadership that face this imposition of power many times find death ordered by big farmers as their fate.
Co-sponsored by Portuguese and Brazilian Studies, and Native American and Indigenous Studies at Brown.

You have probably experienced that terrifying moment when a tractor-trailer is barreling down on you at high speed. If you needed to apply the brakes in anticipation of a road obstacle or slowed traffic or the truck driver misjudged your speed, he couldn't possibly slow down in time to avoid crashing into you.
Truckers need substantially more time than other motorists to stop because of the larger size and heavier weight of the vehicle. The faster the truck is travelling, the greater time needed to slow down or stop.
A three axle single unit tractor (GVWR more than 10,000 pounds) and trailer travelling just at 60 miles per hour with average brakes needs up to 404 feet to come to a stop, compared to 246 feet for a standard size automobile. Of course, slick roads require even more braking time.
To force truckers to slow down, the FMCSA and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) proposed a rule that requires big-rigs to install speed limiters that limit the trucks' speed to 68 mph.

A typical pear tree should grow about 12-15 inches per year. The best way to encourage this is to work in compost and organic matter into the soil and apply Arts Garden Pro Fruit Tree and Berry Fertilizer. Apply it in the early spring. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers (a high first number) as this will cause soft rapid growth and make the tree susceptible to attack by pests and disease... I sometimes think of the pear as a sort of Cinderella fruit in this country. Lots of people grow apples in their gardens, but the pear remains a footnote – something we might get round to one day and therefore don't, yet they're easy enough to grow.
Pear (Espalier) Growing Guide Crop Rotation Group. Miscellaneous Soil. Moist, well-drained soil with a near-neutral pH. Position. In cool climates, grow dwarf varieties against a wall, as an espalier.... You can start a tree yourself from the seeds of an Asian pear that you maybe have eaten, saving the core and the seeds. It is not much different than starting an apple tree except that you will not need to stratify the seeds if you use them fresh from an Asian pear.
Growing pear trees is much like growing apple trees in the fact that you will need two different varieties of tree to get them to cross-pollinate and produce.... The Echinocereus is closely related to the popular Echinocactus. Mostly native to the southern United States and Mexico, there are about 75 species of this pretty little cactus, a few of which sometimes find their way into garden centers.

Marcus Stewart stole the show and stunned the Saints, the in-form striker boosting Ipswich Town's European hopes with a hat-trick in a 3-0 victory at Southampton, in 2001.
Town: R Wright, Makin, McGreal, Bramble, Hreidarsson, Reuser (Venus, 77), J Wright, Holland, Clapham, Scowcroft (Armstrong, 68), Stewart (Burchill, 86). Subs not used: Branagan, Scales.
The on-fire hitman made a mockery of the hosts' proud defensive record – the Saints had not conceded a goal at The Dell for seven hours and seven minutes, prior to his opener – and reached the 20-goal mark for the season, which included 18 in the league.
The victory put Town back into third position in the Premiership, above Leeds, and into a Champions' League spot, behind only Arsenal and runaway leaders, Manchester United.
A tap-in, a deft header and a cheeky penalty helped the former Huddersfield man soar back to the top of the Premiership goalscoring charts and left him beaming, while clutching the match ball, on the final whistle.
"I'm totally delighted. It feels great to score three goals here. It's been very frustrating for the last five or six weeks when I have played just once against West Ham. So to come here tonight and do this is fantastic," said Stewart.
Stewart grabbed his first after 33 minutes, running the ball into the net, following great work by Hermann Hreidarsson and Jamie Clapham.
His second was a superb header to the far post from an Hreidarsson cross, before Matt Holland, who had already had one appeal for a penalty turned down, was upended by Tahar El-Khalej and Stewart chipped the spot-kick past Paul Jones, in front of England boss, Sven Goran-Eriksson.
Martijn Reuser also went close for the Blues with a 54-yard free-kick that struck the crossbar.
2011: Two goals in seven first half minutes helped Ipswich Town to a 2-1 Championship win at Burnley.
Connor Wickham gave the visitors the lead on 17 minutes, before David Norris added to the score on 24.
Jay Rodriguez pulled a goal back for the hosts midway through the second half but the Clarets could not find an equaliser.
2005: The Blues won a five-goal thriller at Portman Road, the hosts prevailing 3-2 against Derby County in the Championship.
The Rams took an early lead, courtesy of Marcus Tudgay's seventh-minute strike, but the Blues hit back through Jim Magilton, Darren Bent and Tommy Miller.
Inigo Idiakez ensured a nervy finish with an 85th-minute goal, but Town hung on for the three points.
1996: Division One's top scorers, Ipswich Town, added another goal to their tally and, more importantly, another three points to their total as they chased the play-offs, defeating Derby County 1-0 at Portman Road.
Highly-rated defender Tony Vaughan scored the only goal of the game.
1991: The Blues and Portsmouth shared four goals in a 2-2 draw at Portman Road, in the old Division Two.
Martin Kuhl scored twice for Pompey but Jason Dozzell and Neil Thompson ensured the Blues earned a point.
1980: Goals from Paul Mariner and Russell Osman gave Ipswich Town a 2-0 victory over Tottenham at White Hart Lane, in the old Division One.

Projects with Arbitration Committees[edit]
Wikipedia versions[edit]
Full description in Czech
Number of seats varies with the number of active users (currently it comes out to six people)
Members are elected for 24 months
Voting is valid when at least 20 users voted (agree + against + abstain votes)
Candidates who have at least 2/3 support are elected (up to the number of required seats)
Voting is closed by current members in coordination with bureaucrats
Full description in German
Half of the German Arbitration Committee (de: Schiedsgericht) is up for election every year in November. There are 10 seats in total.
Members of the Arbitration Committee cannot be a checkuser, oversighter or bureaucrat at the same time, but they get administrator rights (just for use for the Arbitration Committee, not regular rights).
From the 1st until the 7th of November one can nominate candidates for the election, and from the 8th until the 21st one can vote.
Each elected member serves for two years, and after that their position is up for election again. A member can be reelected.
Voters and candidates must have in total 400 edits (at least 200 in the article namespace) and must already have made edits for at least 4 months. At least 50 article edits must have been made in the last 12 months before the election.
Every voter may cast one vote per candidate, but the total number of votes is not restricted. Voters can cast votes pro and contra, the candidate with the better difference wins; neutral votes are not charged (but are allowed).
Every candidate that received a number of votes so high that only four other candidates have more votes, is elected (= the five candidates with the highest numbers of votes are elected, however if there's a tie on place 5, 6 or even more candidates are elected exceptionally).
Vacancies (for example after resignation or if there were not enough successful candidates to fill every seat) can only be filled in the following regular election. In such a case more than six seats may be available for candidates, the additional mandate(s) are for one-year-terms only.
English - Complete election rules
Elections are community-run without the involvement of ArbCom itself. The process usually takes place in November and December, and brings the Committee numbers to a maximum of 15. Terms are for a maximum of two years, and in 2010, some new terms were for only one year, to minimise oscillations in the number of vacancies at successive elections. In the 2011 election, there were seven two-year seats and one single one-year vacancy, with the same rationale.
Candidates present themselves with a statement of up to 400 words, and are asked both standard questions, by community consensus, with a limited number of individual questions by eligible voters permitted on the candidate pages. Editors are free to ask as many questions as they wish on candidates' user talk pages.
Users need a registered account with at least 150 mainspace edits on en.WP by 1 November in the year of the election. Since 2009, the election has been conducted by secret ballot with the SecurePoll Mediawiki extension.
The election is organized and run by volunteer coordinators, who are appointed as Election Administrators at the votewiki to operate the SecurePoll extension. The results are checked by scrutineers, who are stewards that are not active on the English Wikipedia.
Jimmy Wales may optionally ceremonially announce the appointments to the Committee.
Persian[edit]
Full description in Persian
The committee was formed in 2010.
The election is held annually every September.
The committee is composed of 5 members, all of whom may be replaced by the next election but there is no limitation for incumbent arbitrators to re-run.
Any user with at least 1000 edits in the main namespace may nominate themselves.
Any user with at least 500 edits in the main namespace and 100 edits in the preceding 6-month period who has created their account at least 3 months before the election starts is eligible to vote.
The Schulze method is used as the voting system. The elections are conducted by secret ballot with the SecurePoll Mediawiki extension. The top 5 candidates are elected for a 1-year tenure and the 6th and 7th ranked candidates may be called upon if need be.
Full description in Finnish
General information: The first Finnish Wikipedia Arbitration Committee began its term on October 1st 2007, when the community-elected 10 members started their tenure. Five Arbitration Committee members who received the most votes were automatically elected for a 2-year tenure and five others for a 1-year tenure.
2-year full membership and reserve membership tenures
All annual elections are held before October 1st every year and registered Wikipedians always elect five new Arbitration Committee members for a 2-year tenure. Those members who have already served for 2 years will automatically rotate out in favor of the five new nominees who receive the most votes. Hence, in every annual election exactly half of the Arbitration Committee's membership will change.
The rest of the candidates automatically become Arbitration Committee's reserve members and, if needed, can be called upon in the order of their tallied votes (candidate who finished sixth is called first, then the one who finished seventh etc.). Reserve members would typically be called upon if an Arbitration Committee member is a part of a dispute and has to disqualify himself from the arbitration process or if an Arbitration Committee member chooses to resign before the tenure is up. For any arbitration case at any given time a minimum of six qualified (unimpeded) Arbitration Committee members have to be active and part of the proceedings.
The Arbitration Committee will select a chairman amongst the committee members for a 1-year tenure.
Nomination: A two-week nomination period begins in early September, when candidates are nominated either by self-appointment or by a referral of other registered and established Wikipedians. After the nomination period is over, the two-week voting period starts. Users can still continue to nominate new candidates even after the official nomination period is over.
Voting: Elections are conducted using simple open approval voting. Registered users with at least 100 edits before the voting starts can cast votes to any number of candidates, but only one vote per candidate. No commenting or questions are allowed except in dedicated discussion pages of each candidate. In the case of a tie, there will be a coin toss or tied candidates will draw straws. (No official policy is decided on this.)
French[edit]
Full description in French
On fr.wikipedia the ten members of the Arbitration Committee are elected in two rounds: once in September and once in March, each for a mandate of one year. Five users are elected in each election (sometimes more if some arbitrators resign).
Every registered user can submit his/her candidacy during a time period of about two weeks. There is a period of 48 hours between the close of the nominations and the beginning of voting.
Requirements for voters
Users need a registered account that is at least 3 months old, with at least 350 mainspace edits.
Voters can only Oppose, Support or vote Neutral; no comments are allowed.
Voters can change their votes during the election and do not need to express their opinion on each candidate.
Traditionally, the candidates don't vote for themselves.
Voting begins at 00:00 UTC and ends 10 days later, also at 00:00 UTC, unless there are less than 5 elected users, in which case the vote is extended by five days.
The neutral votes aren't counted. The candidates are elected with a two-thirds majority: Support / (Support + Oppose) > 2/3
In the case of a tie, the five candidates with the most number of support votes are elected (and in case of a tie in support votes, the candidate with the least number of oppose votes is elected).
The other eligible candidates become understudies (ranked by number of support votes).
Dutch[edit]
Full description in Dutch.
Members are appointed for one year periods.
Usually, every alternating six months, three or four positions are up for election. Members of the Dutch Wikipedia community vote on candidates.
Candidates need at least an edit history of nine months and 1000 non-vandalism edits and they can renominate themselves unlimited.
Users need a registered account with at least 100 non-vandalism edits, the first at least one month old, to vote.
Candidates need at least 75% (votes in favour divided by total votes for that specific candidate) to pass the vote, and the candidates with the highest percentages of votes are elected.
Polish[edit]
Full description in Polish
Polish Wikipedia Arbitration Committee was set up over a year ago, after a discussion in the summer of 2007, when the main documents of the English Arbitration Committee were translated (which served as a basis) together with activity reports/summaries of the English and German ArbComs.
Elections: The Committee consists of 9 members and the elections take place twice a year, in March and September, each of which replaces half of the Committee's count with new members, so that the terms overlap and each Arbiter serves a term of a full year. During the first election (September 2007), all nine members were elected, four of which (the four with the fewest votes) served for half a year and were replaced in March. September elections result in 5 seats being exchanged.
Nomination: Each election is a two-stage process. For 7 days (March and September 1-7) candidates can be nominated (self-nominations are also acceptable, as well as re-nominations). Each candidate who self-nominates or confirms his nomination must collect 5 votes of endorsement in order to get through to the second round. The minimal criteria for the candidates are: half-year long edition history and 1000 edits. Until 2020 The candidates were not required to be sysops and when elected, regular users got sysop rights for their term. Since 2020 elected users are granted Arb-com user right for the duration of their term.
Voting: The second stage lasts 2 weeks (March and September 8-21). Each Wikipedian with a minimum of 500 non-deleted edits in the mainspace and a 3-month edition history may cast a "for", "against" or "abstain" vote for each candidate. The final ArbCom members are those who amass the most net votes (for votes minus against votes, with abstain votes having no weight). If two candidates get the same amount of net votes, the one with the longer edition history receives a higher standing.
Arbiters may resign during their term, at which occasion the next candidate from the appropriate election takes the vacant place. In case of longer inactivity they may also be dismissed by the Committee itself.
Portuguese[edit]
Full description in Portuguese
The Portuguese ArbCom consists of 5 members and 2 substitute members, which are elected yearly. One month before the end of the term, the election process starts.
The first 15 days of the election period are for nominations and self-nominations of candidates.
If there are less than 10 candidates at the end of that period, the deadline is repeatedly extended by seven days, until the minimum number of 10 nominations is achieved.
Candidates must be over 18 years old and be willing to identify themselves to the WMF. They also must have over 2000 edits in the main namespace and have an account older than 1 year.
Voting occurs in the following 15 days. The 5 most voted candidates (as long as they've reached more than 66% of support and at least 10 favorable votes) are elected as members of the ArbCom. The next two most voted candidates are elected as the substitute members.
In case of ties, the lesser number of oppose votes and the age of the account are used as criteria, in this order.
Full description in Russian
A 7 member team is elected for 6 months (with elections held June 1 and December 1).
Anyone can nominate a candidate or self-nominate.
Candidates must have a history of 8 months of editing and 2000 edits.
Those who confirm their nomination (obviously blocked users can not confirm since they are blocked) answer questions.
Voting:
In order to vote, users must have 3 months of editing history and 500 edits and no less than 100 edits in last 6 months before beginning of nomination.
The voting period lasts for one week.
Vote results are shown live, and users may change their vote after initially voting.
Some votes may be stricken by bureaucrats (for example, a vote from a user that has been inactive for a length of time).
Candidates who received more than 33% votes in opposition are ineligible for the Arbitration Committee.
The top seven candidates counting the support votes from those remaining are then considered elected to the Arbitration Committee; they become main arbitrators.
Ukrainian[edit]
Full description in Ukrainian
A 5 member team is elected for 12 months.
In order to vote, users must have 90 days of editing history and 300 edits.
The voting period lasts for two weeks.
At least 10 users must participate in the voting.
Candidates who received less than 75% support votes are ineligible for the Arbitration Committee.
The top five candidates counting the difference between support and oppose votes from those remaining are then considered elected to the Arbitration Committee.
Wikinews[edit]
Elections are held in July of every year. Prior to the election, a committee of election coordinators is set up. These coordinators do not participate in the nomination process or vote in the election.
Candidates are nominated through a nomination process by other users. This process lasts for approximately 2 weeks.
An election is held, and Wikinews community members with 250 edits approximately two weeks prior to the election can vote. All Wikimedia Foundation board members, full-time staff, and paid developers are eligible to vote, provided they have edited a Wikimedia project one month prior to the election in that capacity. In the most recent election, voters only cast support votes or comments, there were no oppose or negative votes.
The Arbitration Committee Election Coordinators confirm the results, and the candidates with the majority of votes become members of the Arbitration Committee. The Committee serves a 1 year term.

Important Metrics
Effects of Captivity on Response to a Novel Environment in the Oldfield Mouse (Peromyscus polionotus subgriseus)
McPhee, M. Elsbeth
https://doi.org/10.46867/C45C7H
Long-term maintenance of captive populations and release of these animals into the wild is one approach to endangered species conservation. In this study, I used a traditional ethological technique, the open-field test, to assess captivity's effects on exploratory behavior, level of activity, and enclosure use in oldfield mice ( Peromyscus polionotus subgriseus ) upon introduction to a novel environment. The animals tested were from four populations collected from Ocala National Forest, Florida, and were held in captivity for varying numbers of generations: 35, 14, 2, and 0 (wild caught). The population 35 generations removed from the wild was behaviorally distinct from the other three populations. The mechanisms behind the differences are unclear. This study, however, is an example of how traditional behavioral methods can be applied to conservation problems. Whether captive populations are raised for lab studies or for captive breeding of endangered species, this study suggests that if they have been removed from the wild for more than 14 generations, they are likely to be significantly different from the wild counterparts of interest.

Penske Purchase of INDYCAR/IMS should be complete on Jan. 6
By Bruce MartinDec 27, 2019, 6:30 AM EST
INDYCAR CEO Mark Miles has confirmed to NBC Sports.com that Roger Penske's purchase of Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the Indianapolis 500, INDYCAR and IMS Productions should be completed on Jan. 6, 2020.
Penske, though, already is having a major impact on the speedway since the announcement of the impending sale last month.
Penske has spent a great deal of the past several weeks in Indianapolis reviewing the acquisition and taking a full inventory and survey of the property. Indianapolis Motor Speedway is already a beautiful "Cathedral of Speed," but Penske plans to make it shine like a diamond.
"People call it 'Penske Perfect,'" Miles said. "This is a massive place, and it's a venerable place. It's hard to keep it up to that standard, and we haven't. But it's also habits. The way you look at your desk or a storage room or a closet.
"The day of the announcement, Roger walked around and looked in great detail at everything. I began to see the place differently within an hour. I saw it through Roger's eyes.
"In a way, it was embarrassing. Under the excuse of budgets and tight money, we had not really been as attentive as we should be taking pride in the place."
After Penske's first visit, Miles assigned a "block captain" to each department and spoke to employees saying, "Tomorrow, the Dumpsters are arriving."
Large dumpsters began to arrive at IMS, and the cleanup began.
"If we are going to clean it up, we have to clean it out," Miles said. "At a place like this, nobody ever threw anything out. Under the new leadership, we said, 'If in doubt; throw it out.' We have made some room to clean up the place and that is just good housekeeping."
Penske and his regime are looking to see what impact can be done by next May so fans can see the additional care and visible improvement to the facility, from cleaning the place to a fresh coat of paint on much of the facility.
Expanding the speedway's business
Bigger projects likely will start after the July 4 NASCAR weekend, according to Miles.
From the INDYCAR side, Miles believes the series is doing pretty well. He wants to improve its footprint in eSports and in gaming now that gambling is legal in Indiana and many other states.
"If we can figure out how to do more to help our promoters be more successful and put more people in the seats at the races throughout the series, those are the things to think about," Miles said.
Expect to see some of the corporate partners and business-to-business relationships of the Penske Corporation become key partners of INDYCAR and IMS.
"It's a remarkable opportunity with the 'B-to-B' opportunities the Penske Corporation brings to sponsorship is very, very special," Miles said. "It's not just that, but Roger himself and his senior team members have great access to companies.
"There is a major Fortune 500 company we thought we should have a conversation with because we could see them being a sponsor. We had not gotten through to a high level at that company. We mentioned that to Roger. The next day, there was a conference call with the COO, the CMO and the Director of Operations.
"Roger's ability to access and prompt conversations and to do it without a lot of wasted motion is a great value."
A race to the finish
Miles spent Christmas Day with his family in Jacksonville, Florida. He returned to his office at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway bright and early on Thursday, Dec. 26 working on the final details of the acquisition.
"If I were to put a pin on the wall on the calendar, it would be Jan. 6," Miles told NBC Sports.com in an exclusive interview. "There are standing starts, and there are flying starts in racing.
"Roger wants to be at absolute full speed on the day we close, and that makes this a priority.
"There is no time to waste between Christmas and New Year's. In the first week of the new year, we will be closing, and then we will be ready for that 'flying start.' "
Once it is completed, ownership of Indianapolis Motor Speedway and INDYCAR will transfer from Hulman & Company to the Penske Corporation.
If Miles and the Penske Corporation hit their goal of Jan. 6, that will conclude the 74-year run that Hulman George Family had as owners of Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
"The Hulman George Family didn't need to sell this place," Miles said. "But it made sense at this day and time.
"It is in a much better place than it was 10 years ago."
Tony Hulman purchased Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Indianapolis 500 from Eddie Rickenbacker on Nov. 4, 1945. Since then, the Hulman George Family built the speed classic into the largest single-day sporting event on Earth.
The sale to Roger Penske and the Penske Corporation was announced on Nov. 4, 2019.
"That was a historic day for sure and a fabulous transition is now under way that is going to be really good for the Speedway, for INDYCAR and for our fans," said Miles, who will be retained as CEO along with current INDYCAR staff (including president Jay Frye). "Our board of directors and a committee of our board were engaged in thinking about an array of strategic options for the last two and a half years.
"There were always rumors that something was going to happen. Once we got connected with Roger Penske, he said he was very interested."
Miles and Penske kept a very limited group of people involved, and that is why the biggest auto racing story in the last 50 years was kept a secret.
Hulman & Company is transferring the "stewardship" of the Indianapolis 500 and Indianapolis Motor Speedway to the perfect person. Penske is the most successful team owner in Indy 500 history with 18 victories, 16 NTT IndyCar Series championships and a record 545 victories in all forms of racing.
More importantly, he has a deep love and respect for the traditions, heritage and importance of IMS, the Indy 500 and INDYCAR.
"Who has been more a part of INDYCAR and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway other than the Hulman George Family than Roger Penske," Miles said. "He is very studious and knows all the background.
"He is the right guy to carry the torch forward and take it to higher heights."

Charlie Kimball joins A.J. Foyt Racing; Tony Kanaan expected back
Michael Hickey/Getty Images
By Nate RyanJan 22, 2020, 1:36 PM EST
A.J. Foyt has hired Charlie Kimball to drive its No. 4 Chevrolet in the 2020 NTT IndyCar season.
Kimball will return to a full-time schedule after seven races last season with Carlin Racing. This will mark his 10th consecutive season of driving in IndyCar. In 141 starts, he has one victory (in 2013 at Mid-Ohio).
"I wouldn't have survived another partial schedule, and I'm not sure my marriage would have survived," Kimball said Wednesday during a conference call with reporters. "It was really tough watching in races when I wasn't in the car. The consistency allows me to stay in the rhythm."
A.J. Foyt Racing fielded cars last year for Matheus Leist in the No. 4 and Tony Kanaan in the No. 14. Team president Larry Foyt told reporters that the No. 14 car's 2020 schedule was "a work in progress and hopefully have some news on that in the next few weeks."
Asked if Kanaan, who has driven for Foyt since 2018, still will be with the team, Foyt said, "I'm sure he will. We've been working together and getting everything buttoned up."
Here's the full release from A.J. Foyt Racing:
Veteran IndyCar driver Charlie Kimball joins AJ Foyt Racing as the full-time driver of the No. 4 Chevrolet with backing from his long-time sponsor Novo Nordisk. The 2020 NTT IndyCar Series season marks Kimball's 10th consecutive season in IndyCar and his 12th season of partnership with the global healthcare company.
Kimball, who ran a partial season of seven races in 2019, returns as a full-time driver in the 17-race NTT IndyCar Series this year. The No. 4 car will carry a Novo Nordisk branded livery in the following races: Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, GMR Grand Prix (Indianapolis), Texas Indy 600 (Ft. Worth), Bommarito Automotive Group 500 at Gateway (Madison, Ill.) and the Firestone Grand Prix of Monterey. Novo Nordisk will be an associate marketing partner in the remaining 11 races.
"I'm excited and honored to join AJ Foyt Racing and be a part of a team that has such deep roots in history at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and IndyCar," said Kimball, who lives in Indianapolis. "Continuing the partnership with Novo Nordisk is also special since they have been an integral part of my career since I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. I'm more motivated than ever to work with the team to succeed at every IndyCar race in 2020. Thank you to AJ Foyt Racing, Novo Nordisk and our other partners for this opportunity."
Team President Larry Foyt expects the partnership with Novo Nordisk and the addition of Charlie Kimball, an IndyCar Series race winner at Mid-Ohio (2013) and a pole winner at Texas Motor Speedway (2017), to invigorate his No. 4 Texas-based team this season.
"Charlie brings a great deal of experience and skill to the team," Foyt said. "He is motivated to show what he can do behind the wheel, and his recent experience of helping develop cars will be beneficial as we work to get the 4 car moving up the grid. Novo Nordisk has been a long-time supporter of Charlie and IndyCar. We want to welcome them to AJ Foyt Racing and we look forward to joining them in their effort to increase the awareness of diabetes."
Kimball has posted six podium (top-3) finishes, and an additional eight top-5s. He has finished in the top-10 (6th through 10th) 41 times and has led 163 laps in 141 races.
"We are proud to continue our long-term partnership with Charlie Kimball and look forward to an exciting 2020 IndyCar season with the legendary AJ Foyt Racing," said Brian Hilberdink, Senior Vice President, Commercial Diabetes at Novo Nordisk. "For more than a decade, we've utilized our involvement in IndyCar to share Charlie's inspiring journey living with diabetes through the Race with Insulin initiative. Charlie is one of the most active ambassadors in the diabetes community and his passion and commitment to making a difference in the lives of those who are living with diabetes is unwavering. We look forward to continuing this tradition with AJ Foyt Racing, Charlie and the diabetes community throughout the IndyCar season."
Foyt expects to make further announcements regarding new primary sponsors for the team in the near future.

Q: Clone the parent div I have a requirement to add multiple input boxes to enter the data. Initially there will be only one input box and there is an "Add" button next to each generated input boxes to generate multiple text boxes.
If you look at my fiddle there are 3 levels of text boxes in 1st level it has option to enter only 1 level of data but when it comes to level 2, there should be an option to create second level of same parent block so that we can enter the sub data of the main heading. For example If I write State name then I should be able to enter sub categories..
Here is the code for the 1st level menu
$(document).ready(function(){

     $(":radio").click(function(){
         $(".test").hide();
         var show = $(this).attr("data-show");
         $("#"+show).show(300)
     });
        $('.sort').hide();
        $filtr = $('.filtr');

        $filtr.on('click', '.add', function(){
            $(this).closest('.loop').clone().appendTo( $(this).closest('.test') );

            $('.sort').show();
        });

        $filtr.on('click', '.del', function(){
           $(this).closest('.loop').remove();
        });

        $('#1lev, #2lev, #3lev').hide();

     //For sort up/down
     function moveUp(item) {
    var prev = item.prev();
    if (prev.length == 0)
        return;
    prev.css('z-index', 999).css('position','relative').animate({ top: item.height() }, 250);
    item.css('z-index', 1000).css('position', 'relative').animate({ top: '-' + prev.height() }, 300, function () {
        prev.css('z-index', '').css('top', '').css('position', '');
        item.css('z-index', '').css('top', '').css('position', '');
        item.insertBefore(prev);
    });
}
function moveDown(item) {
    var next = item.next();
    if (next.length == 0)
        return;
    next.css('z-index', 999).css('position', 'relative').animate({ top: '-' + item.height() }, 250);
    item.css('z-index', 1000).css('position', 'relative').animate({ top: next.height() }, 300, function () {

        item.css('z-index', '').css('top', '').css('position', '');

Q: GCloud API for GKE Services & Ingress Is there a way to query from an API the resources under Kubernetes Engine > Services & Ingress in the GCloud console ?

A: It's a good question. The answer is slightly complicated.
Essentially, IIUC, you want to list the Kubernetes services and ingresses for your cluster(s). This functionality is provided by Kubernetes' API server rather than Kubernetes Engine itself.
So, you can do this various ways but, commonly (using the kubectl command-line):
kubectl get services [--namespace=${NAMESPACE}]
kubectl get ingresses [--namespace=${NAMESPACE}]

If you've deployed e.g. Kubernetes Web UI formerly Dashboard, you should be able to enumerate the services|ingresses through it too.
You may also interact directly with your clusters' API servers to make the underlying REST API call that's made by kubectl using the above commands.
For Kubernetes Engine, Cloud Console is accessing 2, distinct APIs:

*

*The Kubernetes Engine API that provisions|manages clusters and is documented here, accessible through Console and gcloud.

Headed to Bali? Know Before You Go
Written by Lynn O'Rourke Hayes
Bali has its own language – one of 583 languages and dialects spoken in the Indonesian archipelago. Bahasa Indonesia is the national language; English is widely spoken in Bali's main tourist areas.
Bali is home to approximately four million people. The vast majority follows a special version of Hinduism, different to that practiced in India, and witnessing the rituals and ceremonies of daily life is a highlight of visiting the island.
The island is home to more than 20,000 temples, earning its nickname "the island of a thousand temples" or "the island of the gods."
Some temples date back as far as the 9th century; Pura Besakih at Mount Agung is the island's Mother Temple, the stunning Pura Lempuyang in Karangasem is at the highest elevation and has breathtaking views of Mount Agung, while the cliff-top Pura Uluwatu is touristic with its sunset kecak dance performances and cheeky monkeys. The Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay, it has its own Resort temple and guests are welcome to take a guided tour of it with Resort Priest Aji Ngurah, or visit the nearby Goa Gong cave temple for a water purification ritual.
Bali's central mountains include several peaks over 2,000 metres high (6,500 feet); the highest is Mount Agung (3,031 metres or 9,944 feet), known as the "mother mountain." Adventurous travellers can enjoy panoramic sunrise views across Bali's mountainous interior with a trek up Mount Batur (1,717 metres or 5,633 feet).
Bali's volcanic landscapes and climate support the highly productive agriculture sector. Spend a Day in the Life of a Balinese Farmer and learn about the UNESCO-listed 9th century subak waterways that connect the island's paddy fields.
Bali is home to the first sea-floating toll road in the country, stretching across the gulf of Benoa 12.7 kilometres (8 miles) in length, an example of the modern development that blends with Bali's very traditional lifestyle.
Three small islands lie to the immediate south east and all are administratively part of Bali: Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan. Great for an extension to your stay on the mainland, or for a day trip especially for excellent snorkelling and diving.

Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff is a journalist and one of the founding editors of Galdem, a media platform for women and non-binary people of colour that launched in September 2015. She is the opinions editor who is also currently helping to head up Galdem's second print edition and organise their various events.
Can you tell me a bit more about how Galdem first formed?
It was founded by Liv Little, who was in her second year studying at the University of Bristol. She, like many of us, felt sort of isolated in a very white environment and wanted to create a community of women of colour around her. She was also becoming very aware of the fact that both her course, academically speaking, and the wider media didn't have a good reflection of people of colour and of women of colour. So she reached out to all the creative people she knew and Galdem was born. We first started having meetings in Summer 2015, and they got me on board as they'd read an article I'd written for VICE and then they gave me a message I think and I came along to one of the first meetings.
You mentioned women of colour feeling isolated in predominantly white spaces at university, what was your experience of noticing the whiteness of space?
I'm a journalist so that was my direct experience of it. Mostly in terms of being in a field that has not been really diverse. So from my perspective I was really waiting for something like Galdem to come along where I could sort of channel my energy into helping to improve the way the industry operates in terms of reaching out to people of colour and getting them to write on different topics, and championing our voices.
What kind of topics particularly interest you relating to race?
At the moment I'm particularly fascinated by colourism and the impact that has. We ran a series in the end of 2015 where I collated a series of articles looking at the phenomenon of skin lightening in the women of colour communities throughout the world and ways we can raise awareness about how dangerous it can be and challenge the horrible perception that even exists within our communities that having a lighter skin tone is better.
Do you write with an international context in mind?
Our writing does have an international reach but we are consciously writing to reach an international audience. The majority of us are based in the UK but we do have contributors all over the world, from Australia to Holland to South America, North America, Canada, New Zealand… all over Europe.
How is your content generated?
Do you ever reject submissions? If so on what grounds?
Of course. We don't accept all pitches. Our aim is to work with as many people as we can on making their articles fit to print. We're unfunded therefore we rely on our contributors' energy and rely on the fact that they care about this as much as we do because they're not getting paid. So it would be a bit disingenuous for us to be accepting pitches left, right and centre. Every now and again people will come with ideas that don't work for us or which are problematic. One of the things that is happening a lot on the opinions section is that we get a lot of pitches from mixed race people who all want to write about the same thing. Which is a legitimate experience but we've covered it a lot, you know this idea of being mixed race and caught between two cultures.
Are you conscious of making the platform as intersectional as possible?
Yeah that is something we are working towards. There's always work to be done when it comes to intersectionality. Recently one of our arts and cultures editors put a reach out on Twitter because she was aware of the fact that we haven't got enough trans-women who write for us regularly. We are aware that we can sometimes be skewed by narratives from a certain perspective, but it's something we are always conscious about, something we are trying to rectify and we really do take on constructive criticism if it's levelled at us.
Other than trans-women's narratives, what other intersections do you think are underrepresented in Galdem?
I wouldn't want to speak for everyone, because I don't know the ins and outs of everyone's [the contributors] lived experience. I would say from the opinions section though that I'd like to see more working class narratives personally.
Why do you think it's important to have a platform for women of colour specifically?
Because of intersectionality. I think the reason why so many people got behind it is because it has been something people have been waiting for, not just because it fills a gap in the market but it's also the combination of factors of our race and our gender identity which means that we have unique struggles which I think that the mainstream media does not centre a lot of the time.
Given there are a lot of different ways in which racialised groups experience oppression and issues between different non-white communities, what made you want to create a platform for all women of colour?
It wasn't me who founded it, so that's really a question for Liv. From my perspective though, it's good to be individualistic and recognise for example issues of anti-blackness in parts of the south Asian community and, you know, there's problems with some black people, say in Jamaica who can be racist towards people in East Asian communities. But I think that, from my perspective at least there's more that we should bring up together rather than drive our narratives apart. So as I was saying, there's still more work to be done and still more voices within Galdem that need to be heard, but yeah, something that we are working towards.
What have been your favourite submissions to Galdem?
The Very Black Body by Atong Atem is a really really beautiful piece of work that has been written as part of a mini-series. There's a really lovely piece written by Priyanka Meenakashi who wrote about growing up with an abusive family andabout, not how she overcame that, but was able to find her own sense of home by leaving them behind. There was a really interesting piece actually called The Box Braids Paradox by Natalie Morris, it's less of an essay piece as those I've already mentioned but it really spoke to my experience of what it's been like having braids and I really appreciated her publicly opening up about it.
In your lifetime, do you think things are getting better in terms of race relations or worse?
I think some things are going backwards in some ways and forwards in others. I think the internet has been an amazing tool in helping us find our sense of community and increase dialogue amongst certain people, but I'm not that optimistic that things have changed that much really since we were younger. Especially because of the election of Trump and Brexit etc. It almost feels like when you take two steps forward, you take two steps back. Things are becoming more insidious as well. It's almost like the racists have learnt the language of peace but they're not enacting it in what they do or how they behave towards people of colour.
What kind of racial issues would you like to place on the agenda?
I'm really enthused to see the outcome of the David Lammy review which is looking at how Black and Asian and other ethnic minorities get treated in the prison system, which is underreported in this country, whereas in America they have that amazing documentary 13thwhich came out last year. I guess that's one positive thing that the government is doing. I'm not a political journalist so I wouldn't be able to tell you what the government is or isn't doing in terms of race relations at the moment. I'm more up on what the media is or isn't doing.
Okay, so in terms of the media, what kind of racial issues would you like to place on the agenda?
Representation for me is a huge thing at the moment, because with representation will come, naturally, a focus on different racial topics that aren't given legitimacy. I think people don't actually realise within the industry, just how bad it is, how much white men are given precedence in every comment or editorial copy, even on topics that you would just presume would be given to like a Black or Asian journalist. We get shut out. And there isn't enough concerted effort by the powers that be to try and rectify the amount of Black and Asian and minority ethnic people coming through the system either, apart from the Guardian who have their Positive Action Scheme. But there are pockets of the media, the mainstream media as well, who are doing their thing, making little inroads, like Buzzfeed do some amazing work focusing on black women, what we're doing and start-ups we're creating. And that's thanks to black journalists they've hired. So you can really see a direct cause and effect, like Galdem is successful in this way because we have a space for women of colour therefore we have natural inclination towards stories that are about and for us. So yeah, that's the main thing that's on my agenda at the moment to be honest. Increasing representation, because the stories for me are already out there, we just need them to be given a wider reach.

Sussex morning traffic report for Friday, January 7
Take a look behind the scenes as one of the biggest regeneration projects in Hastings starts to take shape
Hastings RNLI lifeboat crew 'blocked from going out to sea' by people angry at them rescuing refugees
The RNLI has confirmed an incident took place following claims Hastings RNLI lifeboat crew were blocked from going out to sea by people angry at them for rescuing refugees in the Channel.
By Alex Watts
Friday, 3rd December 2021, 11:26 am
A group of people on Hastings beach reportedly shouted "horrible" abuse at the RNLI volunteer crew, according to a caller to James O'Brien's LBC radio show on Thursday (November 25). Zoe, from Hastings, told the presenter she witnessed the group blocking the RNLI lifeboat and shouting, "don't bring any more of those home, we're full up, that's why we stopped our donations, and that kind of really horrible stuff." She added: "It was really upsetting, and you could hear the hatred in their voice."
UPDATE: Police investigate Hastings RNLI lifeboat 'blocking'
UPDATE: Hastings community leaders condemn 'blocking of RNLI lifeboat'
Lifejackets worn by the 40 people who arrived on Hastings beach earlier this month
Zoe said she was on the beach, near the harbour arm, with her boyfriend on Saturday November 20, when they "heard the lifeboat station opening up and thought 'oh they have a call' and started watching." She said as the "lifeboat crew pulled the boat out and were going to go into the water", a group of people "stood directly in the line of the boat so the boat couldn't be put in the water."
"Are you sure?" O'Brien asked her.
"I'm absolutely sure, the police were called," she replied. "It really shook me to the core and we thought of it yesterday night when we saw the news that people had passed away again." (A reference to the 27 people who drowned crossing the Channel on November 24. They included seven women - one of whom was pregnant - and three children.)
UPDATE: Hastings fishermen explain circumstances over RNLI lifeboat 'blocking'
A spokesperson for the RNLI told the Hastings Observer: "We can confirm an incident was reported to the police. The lifeboat was able to launch and the station remains on service." Sussex Police have been contacted for more information.
On Thursday evening, an estimated 250 people gathered on the Stade in Hastings Old Town to hold a moving vigil for the 27 people who died when their boat capsized.
Last week, businesses and local people were thanked for helping 93 people who arrived on Hastings beach after being rescued by lifeboats in the Channel.
One group - 35 men and five teenage boys - spent two days at sea in a small dinghy before they were picked up by Hastings RNLI inshore lifeboat on November 16. RNLI crew helped them on to the shore near the harbour arm in Hastings Old Town. They were met by police stationed on the beach and later handed over to Border Force officials. Volunteers from Hastings Supports Refugees handed out hot drinks, food, warm clothing and blankets to the group - from Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Palestine and various African countries.
On November 11, local businesses helped 53 people who arrived on Hastings beach after being rescued by lifeboats in the Channel. The group - including several children - were handed over to Border Force officials. In total, 1,185 people crossed the Channel by boat to reach the UK on November 11, a new record for migrant crossings in a single day.

If, like me, you are a collector of the various international editions of the IKEA catalog, you may have noticed something different about the version for customers in Saudi Arabia. No, it's not a huge price difference on Ektorp couches. It's a surprising lack of women in the photos.
Apparently playing "spot the difference" with their own IKEA catalogs, the folks at the Swedish edition of Metro also noticed that adults with breasts had been mysteriously removed from photos in the Saudi version, calling into question IKEA's commitment to gender equality.
where is the couples therapy section?
