New album amplifies writing in song
WXXI News | By Mona Seghatoleslami,
Ruth Phinney
The Lynx Project's Amplify Series includes performances of the songs they commission in sensory-friendly concerts.
"I want to see the world. Not by the whole, but by the all too beautiful small things."
These words by Ryan Harris have been set to song by composer Emily Cooly, as part of a unique collaboration.
One of Harris' teachers shared his writing with the musicians of Lynx Project — a Chicago-based group founded by Eastman Music School of Music graduates who have focused on inclusive concerts and educational programs.
Singer Caitleen Kahn, co-founder and executive director of the Lynx Project, recalls that they immediately thought these would make a beautiful song.
She also remembers their surprise, knowing Harris was primarily non-speaking as well as autistic.
"We were struck," she says, "simultaneously by the beauty of the words, but also by the depth of our ignorance."
Harris embraced having his words set to music, and he introduced more writers to the project. That led to the Amplify Series, which has since continued to commission composers each year to create music for words written by young people ages 8 to 20 who have autism and are primarily nonspeaking.
Rithik Sinhasan is one of those young writers and a member of the Amplify Series Advisory Council.
"Autistic children really want to be heard and speak for themselves," he says.
"Being autistic somewhat conditions me to being passed over when someone asks a question and they look at my mom for the answer. I want people to take the time to communicate with autistic people and actually hear us for we have a lot to say."
The Lynx Project is recording 18 of these songs, for an album that will be released on the ArtistShare Label this spring. The album's title comes from Ryan Harris' words from their first song — "beautiful small things."
This story is reported from WXXI's Inclusion Desk. It's also part of Dialogue on Disability Week, a partnership between WXXI, the Al Sigl Community of Agencies, and the Herman and Margaret Schwartz Community Series.

The Origins of the Ownership Society: How the Defined Contribution Paradigm Changed America

President Bush's vision of an "ownership society" continues the process of the last three decades by which the defined contribution paradigm has become the primary framework for retirement savings and, more broadly, a fundamental tenet of tax and social policy. In a defined contribution society, the policies more likely to be adopted are those which channel government subsidies for retirement, health care, and educational savings through individual accounts controlled by the taxpayer himself. In contrast, defined benefit arrangements—as exemplified by the traditional pension plan and the federal Social Security system—are less likely to be proposed, adopted or expanded. Individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and 401(k) arrangements are today central features of American life. The growth of cash balance pensions and their cousins—new comparability plans—is best understood as reflecting the prevailing defined contribution ethos. Equally striking is the extent to which the defined contribution format has, in the last several years, reconfigured many state retirement programs. Moreover, individual accounts have spread beyond the realm of retirement savings to other arenas of social and tax policy. Section 529 accounts are today the predominant instrument by which Americans save for college. We are now in the early stages of a comparable transformation of medical coverage—the flexible spending account (FSA), the health reimbursement arrangement (HRA), and the health savings account (HSA) emerging as important devices for financing routine medical care.

Megadeth Releases "Dystopia"
by News Team Friday, January 29th, 2016
Megadeth, one of the "big four" bands of thrash metal (along with Metallica, Anthrax and Slayer) has released its 15th studio album, Dystopia.
The album started coming together in an unusual way, as the band was between guitarists and drummers. "It was an interesting process. I don't know of any other record that started with recording the bass to a click track," bassist and band co-founder David Ellefson told Premier Guitar.
Ellefson also noted, in the same interview, how he and band co-founder Dave Mustaine were able to begin composing before taking on new band members to flesh out the album. "A lot of it speaks to the fact that me and Dave intuitively know how each other plays and know how a Megadeth record should sound, and how the bass should go—the tone, the parts, the style, the picking and notation. Out of 15 Megadeth studio albums, I've done 12," Ellefson said.
Megadeth's Dystopia lineup includes guitarist Kiko Loureiro (formerly of Angra) and Lamb of God drummer Chris Adler.
Check out the title track to see if it has the Megadeth sound you're looking for.
Dystopia is available on CD, vinyl and as a digital download (iTunes and Amazon MP3).
Dystopia Track List:
Fatal Illusion
Death From Within
Bullet to the Brain
Post American World
Poisonous Shadows
Conquer or Die
Lying in State

Schultz drove in two runs, and Fox scored three runs. Kuhlmann added three hits and three RBIs to go with her victory on the mound. The other three doubles were hit by Olivia Pate, Jill Harris and Kennedi Lindley. Beardstown improved to 17-10 on the season.


Looking to social conversation about Software Defined Networks (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), we found that Cisco saw the most attention last week not only for their reported 61% profit margins, but also for their CEO's unwavering confidence and subsequent dismissal of the competition.
While Cisco is asserting their dominance over SDN by touting the prowess of their products over the competition, success will ultimately depend on adoption. Cisco currently has the profits to back up their claims, but innovation is occurring, which is allowing other companies to offer cheaper solutions.

Christie's Wins the Brody Estate
March 9, 2010 by Marion Maneker
With a $150 million estimate, the big mystery is how much Christie's offered the Brody estate as a guarantee. Carol Vogel says in the New York Times a third party is involved. That makes sense, there are plenty of guarantor's out there who are eager to get in on A+ property. And that's what the Brody Estate has. Here's what Vogel says:
"While this is the last gasp of collecting of this type, it is a little tougher-edged than the Park Avenue collections that were put together at the same time," said Christopher Burge, honorary chairman of Christie's in America.
The Picasso, "Nu au Plateau de Sculpteur (Nude, Green Leaves and Bust)," is the jewel of the collection and is expected to bring more than $80 million. Painted in rich blues, pinks and greens, it depicts the artist's mistress Marie-Thérèse Walter asleep naked; above her, a bust of her head rests on a pedestal. The couple bought the painting from Paul Rosenberg, a New York dealer, who acquired it from Picasso in 1936.
In addition to the Picasso, there's a Giacometti bust of his brother Diego and a Matisse–Henri Matisse's Nu au coussin
bleu, 1924 (estimate: $20-30 million), and Alberto Giacometti's Grande tête de Diego, 1954 (estimate:
$25-35 million).
Here's what Christie's release says about the rest:
Autoportrait by Edouard Vuillard (1868-1940), a superb early self-portrait painted in deliberately
strident hues of yellow and orange by a principal figure of the Nabis movement. Executed just
after 1890, the portrait is representative of Vuillard's radical and highly successful forays into the
free use of color, a tenet the Fauve artists would claim for themselves some fifteen years later.
Works of this type remain extremely rare on the art market, and are highly prized by museums
and collectors alike (estimate: $1.2-1.8 million).
Piccolo cavaliere by Marino Marini (1901-1980), a beautiful, 20-inch tall bronze of Marini's
favorite horse-and-rider theme that features a vigorously hand-chiseled and painted surface. The
Brody work is an exceptional example of Marini's signature contribution to 20th century
sculpture in which he developed an innovative technique of working the surface of the bronze
to a textured and nuanced finish (estimate: $1.5-2 million).
Family group by Henry Moore (1898-1986), one of several important Moore bronzes in the
Brody collection, this small bronze was cast for the Berkeley Gallery exhibition of 1945.
Considered to be among the most desirable of all of the celebrated artist's small sculptures, it
was also the Christmas gift from Sidney Brody to his young wife that marked the couple's first
important fine art purchase, and jump-started their joint collecting pursuits (estimate: $600,000-
800,000).
A suite of six rare Blue Period drawings by Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), including a study for
Femme assise aux bras croisés, a pen and ink drawing with blue crayon completed in 1902-3
(estimate: $200,000-300,000). Of similar size and coloration is Picasso's Vieillard debout les bras
croisés (estimate: $120,000-160,000) and a beautifully-shaded nude study, Femme nu en buste
(estimate: $120,000-160,000).
Rounding out this exceptional collection are additional paintings and sculpture by Georges Braque,
Edgar Degas, Amedeo Modigliani, and James Ensor, among others. Highlights include Braque's La
treille, a large-format scene of a terrace garden covered in twisting vines (estimate: $3-5 million) and two bronzes by Degas, Danseuses habilée au repos (estimate: $600,000-800,000) and La masseuse (estimate: $300,000-500,000). Also featured are Modigliani's 1915 watercolor work La ménage (estimate: $250,000-350,000), and Ensor's jewel-like Nature morte aux fruits et compotier, painted circa 1909 (estimate: $100,000-150,000).

When we type an address like www.google.com in your browser address bar, the computer doesn't know where goole.com points to and it will, therefore, ask the DNS server. The job of a DNS server is to translate this human-readable web address (like www.google.com) into a computer-readable number also known as an IP address (74.125.68.113). Once your computer knows the IP location of a web domain name, it opens the website in your browser.
OpenDNS is a company and service that extends the Domain Name System (DNS) by adding features such as phishing protection and optional content filtering in addition to DNS lookup if its DNS servers are used. Cisco acquired OpenDNS on August 27, 2015, for US$635 million in an all-cash transaction, plus retention-based incentives for OpenDNS. Cisco has intended to continue development of OpenDNS with its other cloud-based security products, and that it would continue its existing services.
OpenDNS business services were renamed as Cisco Umbrella; home products retained the OpenDNS name.
OpenDNS offers DNS services that are faster and reliable DNS service. With OpenDNS, you will more quickly reach your intended website and never experience the outages that occur with the DNS services provided by an ISP. OpenDNS servers store the IP addresses of millions of websites in their cache so it would take less time to resolve your requests. So if you have asked for an IP address of a website that has been previously requested by another OpenDNS user, you will get the reply instantly.
OpenDNS also offers the easiest, most cost-efficient way to prevent access to inappropriate websites, block phishing sites, and prevent virus and malware infections. If you want your Internet to be productive and safe, you need OpenDNS.
The services provided by OpenDNS increase the speed of navigating websites and prevent unintended access to phishing and malware sites as well as to any Web content that you configure to be restricted.
Using a service such as OpenDNS routes all your traffic through the OpenDNS network. Because they are providing all of your DNS host resolutions, this provides OpenDNS with full information about all of your Internet browsing history. And another disadvantage of using OpenDNS could be because of the increased security provided by OpenDNS, users may be less cautious when browsing the Internet and go to riskier sites.
Cisco maintained the free pricing for the OpenDNS Home and Family versions, but they may seek to increase revenue by changing this in the future.

Prisoner's Dilemma Game Reveals Cooperation Leads to Leadership
Scientists revisit a well-studied philosophical scenario to explore hierarchy within cooperation
23-Oct-2019 9:00 AM EDT, by American Institute of Physics (AIP)
Zhihai Rong, Zhi-Xi Wu, Xiang Li, Petter Holme and Guanrong Chen
Illustration of the emergence of the game learning skeleton from the underlying interaction graph. The link directing to the most frequently imitated neighbor is selected to the learning skeleton.
Newswise — WASHINGTON, D.C., October 23, 2019 -- Game theory is a field which applies mathematics to understand the science behind logical decision-making behavior and social structures. Game theory has historically studied cooperation and hierarchy, and has sought to explain why individuals cooperate, even though they might be better off not to do so.
Scientists recently re-examined a classic game theory, described in AIP Publishing publication Chaos, called the prisoner's dilemma. The prisoner's dilemma is a decision analysis, where two prisoners, who are unable to communicate with each other, have to choose to either cooperate with each other or act in their individual best interests. If the parties choose to cooperate, they both get shorter prison sentences, but if one betrays the other, the betrayer will get zero prison time, and the other will get a larger sentence.
This situational dilemma has diverse applications in fields such as economics and medicine.
The authors used a specialized graph to map a social network of cooperators and their neighbors. They discovered cooperators can attract more neighbors to follow their behaviors and are more likely to become leaders, indicating different learning patterns exist between cooperators and defectors.
"Through the correlation analysis, it is found that in the spatial game, the more time an individual holds on to cooperation strategy, the more likely they are to become a leader whose behavior is easy to be imitated by their neighbors. This can build up a long-term reciprocity among them," author Zhihai Rong said.
From a sociological perspective, individuals adapt the successful behaviors of others to move upward in society. The authors discovered cooperators and neighbors who mimic the successful behavior of cooperators and become cooperators themselves are not all collaborating peers but instead form a hierarchy.
"The different learning patterns between cooperation and defection may provide some clues to predict the strategy an individual holds to by analyzing the learning process of her or his neighbors," Rong said.
Further development of this research can be applied to temporal networks. It is also expected to help scientists understand how epidemics spread and oscillators synchronize.
The article, "Heterogeneous cooperative leadership structure emerging from random regular graphs," is authored by Zhihai Rong, Zhi-Xi Wu, Xiang Li, Petter Holme and Guanrong Chen. The article appears in Chaos (DOI: 10.1063/1.5120349), and it can be accessed at https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.5120349.
Chaos is devoted to increasing the understanding of nonlinear phenomena in all areas of science and engineering and describing their manifestations in a manner comprehensible to researchers from a broad spectrum of disciplines. See https://aip.scitation.org/journal/cha.


CHAI hosts weekly research meetings for graduate students at UC Berkeley. Below are samples of some of their work.
You can earn more about Dylan's other professional work at his website and follow him on Twitter here.
Jaime is a fourth-year Ph.D. student in EECS at UC Berkeley. He has worked on autonomous robots in both academia and industry, with a particular focus on collision avoidance and multi-agent systems. Broadly, his research focuses on safely introducing robotics into society. Jaime also thinks deeply about long-term implications of AI development and conducts his current research with an eye toward the future.
Under the guidance of CHAI Professors Anca Dragan and Tom Griffiths, and along with fellow CHAI graduate students Monica Gates and Dylan Hadfield-Menell, Jaime has focused on solving the cooperative inverse reinforcement learning (CIRL) dynamic game using well-established models of human inference, decision making, and theory of mind from the cognitive science literature. Previous solutions have relied on modelling both the human and robot as perfectly rational and able to coordinate in advance, which are nontrivial assumptions in the real world. Instead, Jaime and his colleagues' work models the human as pedagogic (i.e., her behaviour will aim to be instructive) and the robot as pragmatic (i.e., it knows the human is not perfectly rational but is still trying to teach it). Results suggest this formulation produces robots that are more competent collaborators (paper). In the past, Jaime has also researched how we can have robots choose their course of action in a way that will be easy for a human observer to anticipate (paper) and how incorporating uncertainty into a safety framework for robotic systems that works in conjunction with their learning process can provide meaningful safety guarantees (paper and video).
In the future, Jaime intends to look into how AI systems can utilize models of human cognition and behavior to ensure safe interaction with people. He believes that the safer robots will be those that engage their users and procure their cooperation, rather than try to protect against their indifference. He hopes that designing safe human-centered robotic systems in the short term will give us key insights to tackle the broader, long-term AI safety problem.
Mechanism design and other ways quantitative characterizations of a phenomenon can be used to predict and shape behavior.
Recently, Monica has worked on two projects related to CHAI's mission. She has assisted with the paper on solving the cooperative inverse reinforcement learning (CIRL) dynamic game described in more detail in Jaime Fernandez Fisac's profile and is working with Professors Anca D. Dragan, Tom L. Griffiths, and Anant Sahai on preference aggregation across agents. More specifically, in the latter project Monica and her colleagues have set up a study in which participants are presented with a problem that requires mediating between the preferences of multiple agents. Monica and her colleagues take participants' responses and attempt to explain them using a quantitative model. Their hope is to create a baseline standard of "fair" reactions to the problem—a standard to which the behavior of future AIs can be compared.
Going forward, Monica would like research social inference problems. She wants to continue to approach social cognition from a computational perspective, using probabilistic models and large-scale web-based crowdsourcing to investigate the computational goals and algorithms driving the social mind. By understanding the complex inferences made by human minds, she hopes to contribute to the development of artificial intelligence that can collaborate and is compatible with human behavior.

The United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is investigating a fatal accident in which a worker was killed during a snow removal operation, according to the Chicago Tribune.
When people go to the circus, they go to see the amazing things all of the performers can do. This is especially true in the case of Cirque du Soleil, where they don't have any animal acts in the show. Many of the things these performers do during the show are dangerous or "death-defying," as P.T. Barnum use to say.
On December 2, 2015, 15 people were killed and 22 more were seriously injured in a mass shooting in San Diego that was later classified a terrorist attack. This was the horrific incident that involved a husband and wife who targeted a training meeting for employees of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, as well as an office holiday party. The couple who were killed by the police while attempting to get away had also planned to detonate a bomb.
According to the Daily News Journal, a worker was killed recently at the Nissan motor vehicle factory in Smyrna, Tennessee. This is the automaker's main production facility in the U.S. and is located just outside the Nashville city limits. This is a major production facility and is in the process of becoming the largest auto plant in the world if several planned expansion projects are completed in the future.
Many workers are required to spend much of their day with potentially dangerous chemicals. While this is obviously true with an employee who works at a hazardous waste facility, it is also true of many workers who work at a big box store.
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, along with the rest of the nation, the workers' compensation system is designed in such a way the claimant does not have to prove he or she was injured on the job as a result of the negligence of his or her employer, as it would be for a typical personal injury case. In a workers' compensation case in Massachusetts, it is only necessary to establish that employee was injured and that his or her injury occurred on the job, or that employee suffered an illness that is work-related.
The workers' compensation system is generally considered an exclusive remedy system. This means that if a worker is eligible to receive workers' compensation, he or she cannot file a civil lawsuit against his employer. It is important to understand that it does not matter if the employee actually files a workers' compensation claim, because the test is whether he or she is eligible to file a workers' compensation claim. This means that a worker cannot choose to a file a civil lawsuit instead of filing a workers' compensation claim.
According to a recent report from the Boston Herald, one worker was killed at a Sears Auto Center when the tire from a large truck exploded and another person was seriously injured. Police responded to the explosion at a local mall just before eight in the morning.

Planning a 'wildlife roundabout'
Earlier in the year, we contacted contractors for the new Aire Valley road scheme in Keighley, Howard Civil Engineering, with a suggestion for the reorganised Hard Ings roundabout to be sown with wildlife friendly plants attractive to bees and other pollinators. We thought the site presented an ideal opportunity to create an attractive flowering meadow for passing motorists and pedestrians to enjoy.
In October, John Peet and Jane Denney put together proposals for suitable planting and met with Bradford MDC. At a site meeting before the current lockdown it was agreed in principle that the roundabout will be planted for pollinators next spring and also that no weedkillers or pesticides will be used in the project, to optimise the success of pollinating insects.
John Peet says: "We are delighted that the Council has given such positive feedback on our plan for a wildflower meadow and perennial planting for the central border. We are hoping that next year the roundabout could grow to be a really interesting and attractive feature for Keighley as well as a valuable resource for the natural environment."
See this story in the Keighley News.

An award for Cliffe Castle
We are pleased to report that our ongoing collaboration with Cliffe Castle has helped the museum to win a 'Bees Knees' award this year.
See this story in the Bradford Telegraph & Argus
Beekeeping during COVID-19
Regrettably, we had to postpone all our 2020 talks, events and training due to the ongoing pandemic. ABKA members have continued to pursue our own individual beekeeping activities whilst following the current Government advice on social distancing. We are hopeful of resuming activities - either in person or on Zoom - in the New Year.


Lately, there's been a lot of buzz about honeybees, and for good reason. Jack's small but mighty helpers are in crisis. The honeybee population has been in steady, staggering decline for the better part of the last decade. And if the bees vanish, so too will over one-third of the world's food supply. Not to mention, Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey.
To this end, The Hive created 'This One's for the Bees' - a deliciously unexpected spin on charity.
In-Bar Activations took a shot at the honeybee crisis by offering patrons shots of Tennessee Honey – for each one, the brand donated to the cause.
The platform is just one piece of some deliciously sweet work executed for the brand including print, OOH and digital initiatives.

When Chartered Accountants Save the World
How can you encourage neurodiversity in your organisation?
When Chartered Accounts Save The World
Author: ICAEW Insights
Published: 16 Jul 2021
Neurodiverse teams bring together people with different ways of thinking. Chartered accountants can help to monitor and report on the success of recruitment and retention policies.
Empathy and strategic thinking, the ability to multitask, creativity and analytic prowess – on paper at least, these traits would suggest that a candidate could be a top-notch hire. So, why would a diagnosis of autism, ADHD or dyslexia make them any less likely to be recruited?
Most businesses subscribe to the widely proven thesis that employing a diverse workforce makes good business sense. Yet, for many organisations, neurodiversity simply isn't on their radar.
Neurodiversity is a term used to describe the fact that no human brain is wired in the same way, so we all think, act and communicate differently. However, while most (neurotypical) people broadly think and respond to meet average social expectations, some people sit outside the norm and communicate, process or move differently. These neurodivergent individuals can have conditions such as dyspraxia (also known as DCD), dyslexia, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), dyscalculia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and Tourette's syndrome.
Encouraging more people with neurodivergent conditions to join and thrive in business isn't just an altruistic exercise. Alison Kay, EY's UK&I Managing Partner for Client Service, says: "Neurodivergent individuals, such as those with dyslexia or autism, often excel in creative thinking, design and visualisation, and the skills that support innovation and emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, data analytics, automation, blockchain, cyber and more."
Kay adds: "This is a hugely talented group of individuals, who are highly proficient in some of the in-demand skills of right now and in the future. As a business leader, it makes total commercial sense and fits entirely with my passion for purpose in business and how that can help to drive social change."
"Diversity in the workforce leads to new perspectives, skills and attitudes," says Dr Robby Allen, Director of the Management and Leadership MSc at Cranfield University. "We are in a global market and maximising the intellectual capacity of those that are employed should be high on the agenda of all ambitious companies."
Given the financial implications of getting this right, neurodiversity isn't only an HR issue, argues Professor Amanda Kirby, CEO Do-IT Solutions, a neurodiversity consultancy. "It's important for CFOs and finance teams to be involved. Chartered accountants can think about how much it costs to recruit, but also, if it goes badly, what it costs to retain. When it comes to unconscious bias, we're at the start of that in terms of neurodiversity."
While the true extent of bias against neurodivergent individuals is difficult to quantify, research published by the Office for National Statistics earlier this year found that just one in five autistic people in the UK are in any form of employment, prompting experts to urge the government to offer greater support and information to employers.
However, collating data on the neurodiversity of your organisations is not without its challenges, not least because many neurodivergent individuals may not have a diagnosis (or want or need one to gain support). Even if they do, the ongoing stigma attached to neurodivergent conditions puts many people off going public.
"Disclosure rates come with a dilemma because not everyone needs to disclose under the Equality Act to gain support and you don't have to have a diagnosis to have disclosure," says Kirby. "People won't disclose unless they feel it's psychologically safe to do so. They may also not see themselves as disabled."
Cranfield University's research shows that traditional recruitment methods are not working for people with neurodivergent conditions. Indeed, they can find the whole process traumatic, Allen warns.
As a result, the onus on employers to do more to transform the employment prospects of neurodivergent individuals is far from altruistic – it's a question of business competitiveness. But to attract and retain diverse talent across the board, including people with neurodivergent traits, many businesses will need to rethink their recruitment processes, practices and systems.
A lot of organisations fall at the first hurdle because the language used in job adverts inadvertently puts certain people off. Descriptions such as 'team player', 'good sense of humour', and 'lively' are all commonly used without considering who might be excluded as a result, warns Diane Lightfoot, CEO at membership organisation Business Disability Forum.
The same applies to career paths or opportunities. "Do you really need a degree or five years' experience, or could someone demonstrate their skills in a different way?" Lightfoot asks. If you have online recruitment portals, make sure that algorithms don't automatically screen out people who, for example, have a gap in their CV.
Many people with autism or a communication challenge will struggle in a traditional panel interview, but given the opportunity to demonstrate their skills in a test or work trial, they will excel. "If you do need to interview, make sure the questions you ask are clear and unambiguous – and consider sending them to candidates in advance to reduce anxiety on the day," Lightfoot says.
Once you have appointed someone who has neurodivergent traits, getting the onboarding right is vital, she argues. "Reasonable adjustments are a legal right, yes, but work with a range of neurodiverse people and listen to their solutions. Agreeing up front with your new recruit how they like to work and communicate, for example, and what to share that with the team and how, can make a huge difference," Lightfoot says.
Above all, don't be guided by preconceived ideas about neurodivergent conditions and traits – these are often fuelled by misinformation and unhelpful stereotypes. "We have an instinct to categorise and attach labels to groups of people, which is not always beneficial," Allen adds. "Some neurodiverse may choose not to reveal their difference and that creates an unhelpful paradox. Companies cannot help if they do not know, and the neurodiverse may not reveal if they are unsure of the reaction from the companies."
Business Disability Forum offers access to advice and resources including its Neurodiversity Toolkit. Lightfoot says it's important to remember that people with neurodivergent conditions such as autism are all individual and all different. However, "it can be true that some people on the autism spectrum are very good at technical roles, those which require a high degree of accuracy and attention to detail and/or the ability to spot patterns and identify anomalies in these: all of which are great strengths for the accountancy profession to take into account."
She adds: "Creating a culture of psychological safety where people feel safe to ask for the support they need is critical." That requires senior leader buy-in – sharing personal experiences if they have them and normalising the conversation about disability and neurodiversity.
"When individuals disclose their cognitive differences, organisations need to handle that well, with integrity and care, because it will only happen once," warns Caroline Turner, Founder of neurodiversity consultancy Creased Puddle. Training and education are key, she says, but fundamentally it boils down to good bespoke people management. "We're in danger of siloing people into different protected characteristics, but it's the intersectionality that makes every person unique."
Turner says COVID-19 has been a unifying experience in terms of highlighting how we all work in different ways and the challenges of dealing with change. "We've benefitted from the conversation around mental health and well-being. These days, it's all about being authentic, admitting that sometimes you're not in a good place and accepting your vulnerabilities.
"The message that has historically been given to society about neurodivergent individuals has been about deficit and weaknesses," Turner adds. "It should be a positive message about identifying people's strengths and helping them to thrive."

I love this braised vegetable spread (or ikra (икра) as we like to call it). The recipe for this chunky spread is loaded with eggplant, carrots, onion, red pepper, herbs and is rather delicious.
I am sure you have all had food you did not like growing up (or your hubby). As you get older some of the food you would have never eaten become rather delicious and you are like how did this happen? My hubby and I both were NOT vegetable lovers and especially something like this. It's funny because now I always have some spread in the refrigerator and if I see we are running low I make more. We particularly enjoy this for breakfast. Some nights when the kiddos decide they will have a rough night and getting up a half an hour earlier to make breakfast for my hubby is really tough, this spread comes in handy. While my tea is brewing I make an over easy egg, top the egg with some spread, avocado if I have it and breakfast is served in like 5 minutes. We pray together, hubby leaves satisfied and I can get started on my day (or perhaps take another snooze if the munchkins are still sleeping=never happens, they are ALL early risers. Even Saturdays, why would get up at 7 if you could sleep in till say 9?:)..).
Another tasty spread that I recommend is the zucchini spread(ikra).
If you don't like how chunky the vegetables are just GRATE all of the vegetable (minus the pepper and onion).
Remove skin from eggplant and cube into small pieces. Lightly salt, mix and let sit about 5 minutes (this will take some of the bitterness out of the eggplant). In a large pan, heat 2 Tbsp oil on medium/hot heat. Once the oil is hot, add eggplant. Cook until soft, about 6 minutes.
Grate one carrot and cube or thinly slice the second one. Finely chop onion. Cube pepper.
In a deep pan, on medium/high heat add 3 Tbsp oil. Once the oil is hot add peppers, onions and carrots. Cook 10 minutes, or until vegetables are soft.
Add the eggplants to the rest of the veggies, mix well. Move all of the veggies to side of the pan, lift pan and let any excess oil drain, discard of oil.
Remove skin from tomatoes. Chop tomatoes.
Add tomatoes (with juice), ketchup, herbs, garlic, salt, pepper and sugar. Mix everything. Cover with lid and let simmer about 5 minutes. Enjoy cold or warm!
Eggplant, peppers, carrots, tomatoes and onions sauteed together to a smooth and rich spread.
Remove skin from eggplant and cube into small pieces. Lightly salt, mix and let sit about 5 minutes. In a large pan, heat 2 Tbsp oil on medium/hot heat. Once oil is hot, add eggplant. Cook until soft, about 6 minutes.
In a deep large pan, on medium/high heat add 3 Tbsp oil. Once the oil is hot add peppers, onions and carrots. Cook 10 minutes, or until vegetables are soft.
Add the eggplants to the rest of the veggies, mix well. Move all of the veggies to side of the pan and let any excess oil drain, discard of oil.
Thank you for the recipe, it was very delicious. I was wondering how long it can stay in the fridge and if it can be freezed?
Thanks so much for the awesome feedback on the Eggplant Spread, Julia. 🙂 I've never tried freezing the spread so cannot be for sure how it would perform. The recipe will stay in the fridge for a couple of weeks. I've never had it last longer than that because we enjoy it so much for breakfast with eggs and avocado so it goes pretty quickly in our home.
Amazing!! Will be gone before you know it.. thanks for a great recipe!!
I made it for the first time yesterday because eggplant was cheap at the Asian store so I couldn't pass it 😉 it was gone in 2 days (with our little family) goes well topped on top buckwheat. Yummy recipe! Will be making it again and again! Thanks!
That's wonderful, Oksana. Yes, you cannot pass up a good deal on eggplant. I'm glad your family enjoyed the recipe. We especially appreciate the feedback.
Tanyush, I wish you could see the huge smile on my face from your beautiful comment. So happy when I find a recipe that everyone can enjoy, it's a winner big time!
Hi! I just wanted to thank you for this recipe bcs it was soo good! I had the spread on some homemade Russian black bread that I made in my bread machine and it was delicious!
Oh that sounds wonderful!!. I'm thinking you need to share that Russian black bread recipe. E-mail me??..
This sounds yummy and I happen to have an excess of eggplants and tomatoes so I'm planning on making this today! I also have some zucchini that I would like to use, do you think I could add it to this ikra? Would that alter the taste too much? And how would I go about doing that if I were to add it?
You definitely can Christina:). You can either double portion and do 1 large eggplant and 2 medium zucchinis, and just double the rest of ingredients, cook it the same way you would the eggplant. It will not change it too much, I often mix zucchini and eggplant. Did you also see my Zucchini Spread? It's very similar, tastes wonderful (HERE).
Zucchini Bars – these are out of this world good!!!!!
Thanks so much for this recipe! I made it today, it turned out great and delicious! I absolutely love your presentation of it!
This recipe sounds very easy, I'm printing it. Vadim loves this stuff, he will probably make it tomorrow :).
It really is super easy and yummy!=^)..
Marinka, Madam, who likes this kind of stuff as a kid?? Hehe, teasing, but that's pretty remarkable. And cabbage salad? Say what? You surely made your mom's life easier. =o)….
Made this caviar today; was delicious! Thank you Valentina.
I have a question for you- what kind of soup do you make most often at your house?
Jessica, Oh that's wonderful to hear!. Thank you for letting me know.=) I actually was just thinking the other day that I need to post some more soup recipes; we eat soups more than any other food. Simple soups are what we go for. Have you even seasoned your meat for soup? I always have seasoned meat in my fridge for soups (you can check how I season it in my borscht recipe and I do this to chicken thigh or breast, pork with or without the bone. It seriously takes EVERY soup to a whole new level.) My kids' favorite is the Creamy Chicken and Potato https://valentinascorner.com/creamy-chicken-and-potato-soup/ and though none of them like broccoli, they love my Broccoli Soup so we have it very frequent. Will post my go to simple soup recipe as one of my next posts, it's super easy and the whole family LOVES it. Thanks so much for visiting :)..
Have you tried canning this ikra?
Jessica. This particular recipe I haven't, however I do have a really yummy recipe I use that I hope to post if I find the time before canning is over=o)..
Valechka, I am back! 🙂 I love your recipes. I like to add sauted mushrooms when I make this spread. It just adds nice flavor. One of my elderly friend from Church suggested and I loved it.
Tanyush!. You're so sweet, Thank You for stopping back. 🙂 I absolutely love mushrooms, thanks for the genius idea, never thought of that! Definitely trying that:-)..
Looks delicious deffinatey want to try this I really enjoy this spread :)))this caviar is delicious!

Overwatch: Mei, Genji and D.Va
Blizzard finally unveiled the final three Overwatch heroes at BlizzCon 2015! All 3 new heroes joined the Overwatch beta roster in yesterday's patch and they really do a great job of spicing up the Overwatch cast.
Role: Tank
Real Name and Age: Hana Song, 19
Quote: "I play to win."
D.Va is a former professional gamer who now uses her skills to pilot a state-of-the-art mech in defense of her homeland.
Twenty years ago, South Korea was attacked by a colossal omnic monstrosity that rose from the depths of the East China Sea. The massive, lumbering construct caused catastrophic damage to coastal cities before it was driven back beneath the waves. In response, the South Korean government developed a mechanized armored drone unit, called MEKA, to protect urban environments in future engagements with the omnic threat.
The government's fears proved to be well founded, as a disturbing pattern of attacks emerged. Every few years, the monstrosity would rise from the sea to assault South Korea and its neighbors. The omnic learned from these encounters, often reconfiguring itself in a different form and appearing with new weapons and capabilities. Each incident ended in a stalemate, with the monstrosity defeated but not destroyed.
As the omnic continued to adapt, it eventually disrupted MEKA's drone-control networks, forcing the military to place pilots in the mechs. Scrambling to find suitable candidates, the government turned to the country's professional gamers, who possessed the necessary reflexes and instincts to operate the mechs' advanced weapons systems. Top stars were drafted, including reigning world champion Hana Song, also known as "D.Va." Famous for her elite skills, D.Va was a fierce competitor who played to win at all costs, and she had a well-earned reputation for showing no mercy to her opponents.
Seeing her new mission as a game, D.Va fearlessly charges into battle alongside the rest of her MEKA unit, ready to spring to her nation's defense at a moment's notice. Recently, she has begun to stream combat operations to her adoring fans, and her growing following has turned her into a global icon.
Role: Offense
Real Name and Age: Genji Shimada, 35
Quote: "Even if I sacrifice my body, I will never sacrifice my honor."
The cyborg Genji Shimada has made peace with the augmented body he once rejected, and in doing so, he has discovered a higher humanity.
As the youngest son of the master of the Shimada ninja clan, Genji lived a life of luxury and privilege. He had little interest in the family's illegal businesses, and although he excelled at and enjoyed his ninja training, he spent most of his time pursuing a playboy lifestyle. Many within the clan considered the carefree Genji to be a dangerous liability, and they resented his father for coddling and protecting him. Following the clan leader's untimely death, Genji's older brother, Hanzo, demanded that Genji take a more active role in their late father's empire. Genji refused, enraging Hanzo. The tension between the brothers built to a violent confrontation that left Genji on the verge of dying.
Hanzo believed that he had killed his brother, but Genji was rescued by Overwatch and the intervention of Dr. Angela Ziegler. The global security force saw Genji as a potential asset in its ongoing operations to combat the Shimada clan. As Genji's injuries left him clinging to life, Overwatch offered to rebuild his body in exchange for his help. He was put through an extensive process of cyberization, which enhanced his natural speed and agility and augmented his superlative ninja skills. Transformed into a living weapon, Genji single-mindedly set about the task of dismantling his family's criminal empire.
But as time passed, Genji felt increasingly at war with himself. He was repulsed by the mechanical parts of his body and could not come to grips with what he had become. When his mission was complete, he abandoned Overwatch and wandered the world in search of meaning. He drifted for many years before crossing paths with the omnic monk Zenyatta. Though Genji initially rejected Zenyatta's wisdom, the benevolent omnic would not be deterred. In time, Zenyatta became his mentor, and under the monk's tutelage, Genji reconciled his dual existence as both man and machine. He learned to accept that although he had a cyborg body, his human soul was intact, and he came to see his new form as a gift and a unique strength.
Now, for the first time in his life, Genji is free. Even he cannot say where his path will ultimately lead.
Role: Defense
Real Name and Age: Mei-Ling Zhou, 31
Quote: "Our world is worth fighting for."
Mei is a scientist who has taken the fight to preserve the environment into her own hands.
Though many blamed the planet's escalating, unexplained climate phenomena on the advent of new technologies, the rapidly growing omnic population, and drastically increased consumption of resources, the true cause remained unknown. To find a solution, Overwatch established a series of eco-Watchpoints at remote, critical locations worldwide.
Mei-Ling Zhou was a member of this multiyear initiative. A peerless climatologist, she had introduced cutting-edge innovations in the field of climate manipulation that protected at-risk areas in Asia and beyond. She was assigned to the program's monitoring station at Watchpoint: Antarctica when disaster struck: a sudden, catastrophic polar storm battered the installation and cut it off from the outside world, leaving the facility damaged and the scientists stranded. As their supplies dwindled, they entered cryostasis in a last-ditch effort to survive until a rescue attempt could be made.
But that rescue never came. It was years later when the team's cryogenics chamber was finally discovered. Mei, still in hibernation, was the only survivor. The world Mei awoke to had gone through considerable changes: Overwatch was no more, the serious climate issues had worsened, and none of the eco-Watchpoints were in operation. Any clues that they had uncovered were lost.
Mei has decided to continue her work on her own. Equipped with a portable version of her climate-manipulation technology, she travels around the world, hoping to re-establish the eco-network and track down the causes of the threats to the planet's ecosystem.
A japanese cyborg ninja, a chinese scientist and a korean gamer with killer back-story. HYPE! So far I'm already in love with D.Va, killer pink bunny mech and killer pink everything else. And of course, her ultimate – Self-Destruct.
