REVIEW: Avengers: Endgame [2019]
I love you three thousand. The best thing Marvel ever did was split their Avengers 1.0 saga's final chapter in two since it allowed Infinity War to deliver what no other entry could: stakes. Despite knowing they were always false due to the giant gauntlet in the room that literally bends time and space to its whims, they hurt nonetheless simply because we were forced to sit with those results for a full year before discovering how things might be put right. Had Anthony and Joe Russo conversely fixed everything…

REVIEW: Avengers: Infinity War [2018]
He's never fought me twice. It's been ten years since we met Tony Stark on the big screen. Ten years of serial storytelling with massive budgets, character crossovers, television offshoots, and Stan Lee cameos that took Hollywood and the box office by storm. Not even steward Kevin Feige could have predicted that type of longevity with twenty films by 2018's completion, but here he and we are at the culmination of all those carefully laid plans. It's been an enjoyable journey with origin tales, rights swapping, tonal shifts, and more…

"Guy in the chair" Here's an unpopular opinion for you: I enjoyed The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Yes, the one with a blue Jamie Foxx. The only reason I bring it up is to say even I was dreading the proposed villain team-up spin-off and inevitable trilogy capper seemingly arriving at a place wherein Peter Parker's parents would reveal themselves as being crucial to whatever really happened with that fateful radioactive arachnid. But that doesn't mean I wanted another reboot. It was bad enough Sony already scrapped one failed attempt at…

"Victory at the expense of the innocent is no victory at all" We've officially approached the apex of the Marvel Cinematic Universe wherein films cannot be about one single character anymore. The Infinity Wars being just around the corner means that time has been regulated. There's an endgame as there always has been and the pieces must be put into position now.

"It wasn't a nightmare. It was a legacy." He may not have been there at the start, but Joss Whedon stewarded the Marvel Cinematic Universe through its make or break stage. It was one thing to give the world high-tech flying fun via a sarcastic playboy, otherworld fantasy come to earth courtesy of a haughty royal, and the 'aw shucks' patriotism necessary for a bona fide WWII hero on their own terms. Bringing them together along with even more allies was anything but. Yet Whedon—fearless when it comes to delving…

REVIEW: Guardians of the Galaxy [2014]
"I don't learn" It shouldn't come as a surprise that the best Marvel film to date would be one without a single recognizable character to anyone not already a fan. Guardians of the Galaxy has been around since 1969, but it's the 2008 iteration by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning which struck the studio's fancy as far as opening their cinematic universe wide open. There's still a tenuous connection to Earth with the group's default leader being a human snatched as a child by a Ravager ship, yet this detail…

REVIEW: Chef [2014]
"You're trending, bro" I have to say it. A guy clueless about Twitter—who doesn't understand tweets are public—knows what a meme is less than forty-eight hours later? Not only knows but smugly acts smarter than a woman who's obviously his junior by legitimately asking whether she knows? It shouldn't irk me so much, but the movie hinges a lot of its plot progression on the concept of social media paired with the internet savvy of a ten year-old boy. Save that meme joke for the end if you absolutely need…

"Bloody hell. It's not exactly the Ritz is it?" I loved Iron Man 3. I know I might be in the minority, but Shane Black and Drew Pearce's creation was right up my alley comedy-wise and twist-wise. It really pissed off fans that thought the whole Mandarin thing was a giant cop-out: you know, him being Aldich Killian (Guy Pearce) by way of Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley). I get their affinity for canon and desire to have an over-the-top villain such as he brought to life, but Marvel has steeped…

"I do a great patsy" The Marvel Cinematic Universe is something special—a franchise devoid of ceiling that has become Hollywood's equivalent to a motion comic. Looking at it today, you can't help but admire what they're doing and how far their reach extends. There are the highly anticipated films each year, a dedicated TV show to provide a venue for more details behind the scenes, and a series of "One-Shots" released on the DVDs as gap-filling accompaniments.

Reviewed by bloodofheroes on December 31, 2010
"It's just twelve tracks of deathcore checking off the boxes one by one."
When I was a kid, I learned one of those repetitive songs that uses the same lines over and over, and in particular, I remember the refrain, which went "second verse, same as the first, a little bit louder and a whole lot worse!" When I reviewed Neaera's 2009 full-length "Omnicide – Creation Unleashed," I found a decently-done, but very repetitive, album. This year's long player, "Forging the Eclipse," isn't worse than "Omnicide" - it's even on quality - but it sure does sound the same.
Well, to be fair, it isn't exactly the same; Neaera has added a few more melodic death metal elements and blackened shrieks to the deathcore mix. "In Defiance" has a nice blend of melodic leads and brutal underpinnings running through the changing tempos. But these things eventually get swallowed by the chugging deathcore and disappear a few songs into the album.
The other problem that crops up a few songs into "Forging the Eclipse" is that the album becomes very homogeneous. Some of the first six tracks have bits and pieces that are interesting – "Heaven's Descent" has a good groove, "Rubikon" has some softer parts that are good breaks from the chug, and even the mushy and messy swirl of "Eight Thousand Sorrows Deep" has some appeal before its layers completely overwhelm any semblance of a song – but the back half of "Forging the Eclipse" is a complete throwaway.
These last five songs, plus one interlude, are either the very definition of filler, deathcore by numbers, or both: chugging downtuned guitars, throaty growls, a handful of solos and plenty of breakdowns when everything gets extra-special stale. The painful kick in the nuts for the skull rating is that there isn't much that differentiates the first half of "Forging the Eclipse" from the back half, except it happens to come first. Can both halves be filler depending on how they were ordered? Apparently.
Now maybe I missed something; maybe this is very well executed and heavy deathcore with all the necessary elements in place for a neck-snapping. But I've listened to this album well over twenty times, straining to find that glimmer, and it isn't there. It's just twelve tracks of deathcore checking off the boxes one by one.
Those songs I learned as a kid tended to annoy my parents and any other adults present. About the time I got down to the mid-seventies in "99 Bottles of Beer," my father would instruct me to close my flapping flapper. Well, I am an adult now, and after listening to "Forging the Eclipse" a couple dozen times, I am really annoyed.
Highs: "Heaven's Descent" has a good groove and combination of vocals and riffs. It also happens to be the first true song on the album.
Lows: The grating shrieked vocals add to the repetitive nature of the music.
Bottom line: Deathcore by numbers creates an album of filler.

Quiz: Can You Identify at Least 20 Top Musicals of All Time by Just One Lyric?: Zoo
Can You Identify at Least 20 Top Musicals of All Time by Just One Lyric?
By: Beth Hendricks
Image: Producer Circle Co. / Zadan/Meron Production
Did you know that Broadway shows didn't even start out on Broadway? It's true! The first theater performances (think, lots of Shakespeare) took place on Nassau Street and musicals, as we know them today, didn't start finding their way to Broadway until theaters were erected there in the mid- to late-1800s. Why? Because real estate was cheaper, if you can imagine that ... in the heart of New York City! The very first Broadway musical, titled "The Elves," culminated in more than four dozen performances in the year 1850.
Near the start of the 20th century, musicals began competing with films, prompting many to wonder if theater would be able to keep up. Then, along came "Oklahoma!" in the 1940s and the start of what many still consider the golden age of musicals. "Guys and Dolls," "Singin' in the Rain" and "The King and I" were born a short time later. Thirty years on, we got "The Phantom of the Opera" and "Les Misérables." Today, we have "Hamilton" and "Wicked" and – of all things – "Beetlejuice."
We've come a long way since those fledgling days of theater, and now have a rich history of musicals to look back on and admire. And, that includes a slew of popular songs from "The Surrey With the Fringe on Top" to "Aaron Burr, Sir." How well do you know your musical ... music? Can you identify "Castle on a Cloud" from "Defying Gravity?" Give it your best shot in this tune-focused trivia from some of the world's top musicals!

Featured Photographer, September 2016: Timothy Poulton
We are delighted to present Timothy Poulton as our featured guest photographer this month. We appreciate his time and generosity in sharing his world and work with us! Please visit his links to see more of his work, and to let him know you enjoyed this interview.
:: How did you get your start with photography?
I've been a graphic designer operating my own business out of Sydney, Australia for the last 20 years, so my photography came about as a by-product of this. It was only natural to pick up a camera and create the images I needed for the business. Back in these days it was all product photography for Nokia, Primo Smallgoods and various fashion labels, and as I began to become more familiar with the camera, I naturally started using it a lot more for my own love of it.
:: What was it about the genre of landscape photography that drew you in most?
Some might say that this was serendipitous, but it happened by being in the right place at the right time. I was leaving a shoot for a client in Bondi Beach, and, as I crested the headland, I saw the most spectacular storm cloud out to sea, dropping tens of lightning bolts per second. I set up my gear and fired off a few shots. From then I was hooked.
:: What is OOAK (One Of A Kind Photography Adventures), and how did it start?
One Of A Kind Photography Adventures (OOAK) started because the groups I was a part of at the time weren't game to shoot anything but seascapes. I yearned for more, and others did as well. Eventually myself and my mate, Tim Donnelly, formed OOAK and the adventures began from there. We started with domestic trips in Australia and New Zealand with friends and those who heard about us, and went from there. Today it has become a great company with dedicated team members around Australia and the world. We're really very proud of the company we have become.
:: Tell me about the OOAK app. What is the purpose of this app, and what drew you into making it?
The Oneofakind APP is literally one of a kind. Available for both Apple and Android, it's any photographers' black book of locations - for whatever you want to do with it. It's both a guide book, a weather station, a GPS unit and combines all the knowledge of photographers from around the world to contribute locations and information. It can be used as a planner, a research tool and a wishlist. It's really very powerful for anyone anywhere with a phone to get out there, and start exploring. Some might say it's similar to others out there, but we use reliable photographers, locations and geodata to create a guidebook of any location in the world with tips and tricks for shooting it, selecting a time to go and how to get there. Combined with the power of a phones' GPS and Google Maps, there is no limit to what you can do with it.
:: There seems to be various camps of thought in whether or not the locations of certain photographed areas should be shared. Why are you sharing these locations? Do you have any criteria on which places should be shared and which maybe shouldn't?
Anyone who thinks that they 'own' a location is kidding themselves. If it's publicly accessible land, then they have no right to state who does and who doesn't go there. It's that simple. You can never truly get exactly the same shot day after day - there will always be variables. Those who are worried about these things need to find a different genre. We live in the world of information, and while a place exists and someone has photographed it, those places will be found and re-shot. It doesn't matter who does it or why. Don't they always say that imitation is the best form of flattery?
:: Why do you think the field of landscape photography seems to yield such passionate discussions on ethics and integrity?
There's many reasons that I will never know about, but it appears to be as simple as marking a matter of territory - or that a place can't be intellectual-property copyrighted. While this isn't the case, fighting harder to keep these places a secret will only make them less so. There's big figures in every genre, but there has never been more money in photography tours - especially landscape photography tours, and I think that is the basis of all this fighting. It's as simple and as raw as dogs' marking their territory. I wish it wasn't so, there's room for all of us here. In the end, if you don't laugh, you'll cry. With all the positivity in the community, there's an equal weight of negativity coming from some haters, and it doesn't have to be like that. Hating takes up too much energy.
:: Why do so many of those discussions tend to go down a darker more unproductive road do you think?
This is the age-old debate, don't you think? I don't think this one is unique to landscape photography in any way - at least not with what I and the rest of the OOAK crew is doing. It's almost always driven by ego underpinned by financial motivation. It's the only reason that kind souls turn sour. People will project whatever image they have of you, onto you, so it is important not to sink to their level. It's sad that it often goes this way, I only ever wanted to show the rest of the world, how beautiful this planet is before we all destroy it with greed and hatred.
:: Knowing where so many of these discussions end, and that so many of them seem to start on the 500px website the question then becomes; is what you get from 500px worth the negative side effects?
With every positive comes a negative. It's unwise to expect 100% positivity because invariably someone is going to get offended - even on the base level that you picked a better day than them. In the end, I, like every other photographer on 500px, loves to share what we capture when we venture out into the world. It seems that sometimes I can just say 'Hello' and it'll turn into a debate about whether I've comp-stomped someones' work. There's always people out there who will try to bring you down. Don't let them. Just keep being awesome.
:: hat is your personal standpoint on the processing side of things? How much is too much? Is anything off limits with the art of landscape photography?
If I were a photojournalist, this would be an awkward question. Processing is the other 50% of what happens in the lifecycle of a photograph. The other part of it is the 'art' whereby almost anything goes. That said, I've neither the time nor the patience to go making images so false that they barely represent the effort I took to get them, so why bother? My images are as I saw them in my minds' eye when capturing the frames. The pixels on my sensor are what I manipulate, nothing added, nothing removed!
:: What is the scariest thing that has happened to you on a photo shoot?
I ran out of beer. Seriously though, it's the things that you can't control - freak storms and irresponsible people in the world. There's things that can go wrong and could have gone wrong. The importance of being a tour leader is keeping your wits about you and making sure the scary things don't happen.
:: What advice would you pass on to folks looking to get into this business?
Don't let the little things get you down, there's always going to be haters. Taking tours is no easy-street to instant fortune. It takes dedication, time away from family and friends. It's not just about the chance of getting out to take the photos, the administration takes some serious effort. The world is one exciting and amazing place, so make the most of it.
:: What do you see in the future of outdoor photography both good and bad?
This planet is changing on a daily basis around us. Certain locations are going to disappear, glaciers are going to calve until they're gone, forests are going to be knocked down for civilisation. It is our duty to preserve this place, to make records of what it was about for generations to come. I only hope that in the future, people realise the error of their ways and start being a little more lighthearted and less selfish with their attitudes to sharing.
The good of it is that I think travel will become easier, but the flipside is that it will expose some of these fragile ecosystems that have never had to deal with the traffic that they'll now be getting. It will be interesting to see how governments and tourism bodies handle such things in the future. Maybe not in my lifetime but I already have future plans for tours on the Moon and Mars for the next OOAK generation.
:: When places like Iceland, Norway, and Patagonia have become such 'must-see' photographic locations what still keeps them interesting do you think? Do you think these locations eventually fade out?
I don't think so. I think these places will still hold their intrigue and allure. After all, we all live in different climates, so my backyard is interesting to you? The same goes with anyone who doesn't live in these amazing places, they're still attractive and desirable. It's just like clothes, different styles will come and go, but I don't think certain places will fall out of fashion on their own.
:: What is your favorite piece of non-photographic gear and why?
That's a toss up between a great jacket and a Kapiti ice cream. Jackets can double as toboggans, givers of warmth and sleeping bags. Don't knock the choice of Ice-cream, if you've never had one of these babies in the dead of winter in New Zealand, you haven't done your tastebuds a favour.

Mike Edwards: I am first because I'm second
Mike Edwards has no qualms about sharing his performance secret. He's first because he's second.
"Well I am, I am second in my eyes," Edwards contends. "God is first for sure."
Following his seventh No. 1 qualifying effort, his latest at the NHRA SuperNationals, Edwards became the first NHRA Full Throttle professional drag racer to clinch a berth in the Countdown to 1. Edwards has led the NHRA Pro Stock point standings since February.
Edwards says his success is no coincidence and while he's not preaching to anyone, he's just one of many professional athletes who are open and up front about their spiritual life. And because of that, Edwards has become a staunch supporter of www.iamsecond.com website, a stop on the web where leading athletes can provide their testimonies. The website url is underneath his No. 1 on the side window.
"God is first in my life," said Edwards, the defending class world champion. "This doesn't really matter to me at all. It really doesn't."
Edwards is not so naïve to believe his declaration won't draw criticism, but he says he can't help but be at peace in his life even if he has his critics.
"Everybody's got their own opinion on everything but you know, I have a strong belief and I just know where my faith is at and I know where my ending is going to be," Edwards said. "And I'm sorry about the way they feel about that. If they feel that way then I'm really sorry for them because they're really missing out on a lot of blessings that they could have here on Earth. Not even compared to what we are fixing to have."


ISLAMABAD: Opposition parties in the National Assembly on Tuesday agreed to close ranks against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government on crucial matters and formed a special committee to evolve joint strategies on important national issues.
The decision was taken in a meeting convened by Opposition Leader Shahbaz Sharif in his chamber at the Parliament House. It was attended by top leadership of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) and other parties.
Speaking to reporters after the nearly two-hour-long meeting, PML-N President Shahbaz Sharif said the opposition leaders had decided to form a committee to formulate proposals for adopting a joint course of action to help resolve national issues.
The joint committee – with representation from all opposition parties – would be responsible for holding negotiations with the government on the issue of an extension in the tenure of military courts, Shahbaz told reporters.
"A coalition agreement has been reached between the opposition parties," said former president Zardari after the meeting. "The opposition has today adopted a very good strategy to form a committee and have a joint opposition in and outside parliament," added Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.
The joint committee comprised Syed Khursheed Shah and Sherry Rehman of the PPP; Ahsan Iqbal, Rana Sanaullah and Marriyum Aurangzeb of the PML-N, Amir Haider Hoti of the Awami National Party (ANP), Maulana Abdul Wasay of the MMA and Akhtar Mengal of the BNP.
At the media talk, both Shahbaz and Bilawal slammed the PTI government's economic policies. They expressed concerns over hike in the prices of gas, power, medicines and items of daily use. "The economic conditions have worsened," Shehbaz said, adding that inflation had risen as well.
Shahbaz called for a fresh bidding for the Mohmand dam contract to ensure transparency in this mega project. On the second extension in the tenure of military courts, Shehbaz said "the combined opposition" would take the decision in the national interest.
The meeting took place after the opposition staged a walkout from the National Assembly after raising questions over the bidding process of Mohmand dam. It had become a controversial issue after the contract was awarded to a close aide of the prime minister.
At the meeting, former president Asif Zardari, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Syed Khursheed Shah, Syed Naveed Qamar, Sherry Rahman, former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Khwaja Asif, Ahsan Iqbal, Rana Tanveer Hussain, Khawaja Saad Rafique, Rana Sanaullah, Senator Pervez Rashid, Senator Asif Kirmani and Marriyum Auranzeb were present.
MMA was represented by it parliamentary leader Maulana Asad Mahmood and Maulana Abdul Wasay while ANP was represented by Amir Haider Khan Hoti. Balochistan National Party's Agha Hassan Baloch and Haji Hashim Potezai also participated in the meeting at special invitation by the opposition parties.
Their talks focused on the current political and economic situation in the country, the Mohmand dam issue, extension in tenure of military courts and the strategy of the opposition. Bilawal later said that the Charter of Democracy would be revisited, keeping in view the ground realities and political situation.
Bilawal said the opposition's human and democratic rights were under attack from all sides by the government, but the opposition leaders were "not ready to compromise" on these two rights. He also said his party did not want to strike any deals with the government to seek an NRO-type amnesty.
The PML-N president slammed the "worst incompetence" of the PTI government and accused it of "cronyism" in awarding the Mohmand dam contract to a consortium, allegedly owned by a sitting adviser to the prime minister.
Later, the opposition issued a joint communiqué, alleging that the PTI government's disastrous economic policies and utter disregard for provincial autonomy posed a grave threat to the existence and federation of Pakistan.
It stated that the dangerously falling economic growth rate and the resulting unemployment had spun out of control and the government's economic policies had become "a clear and present danger for the country".
"The leaders of the opposition parties in the meeting rejected the government's mini-budget and said that the third budget by the 'insanely incompetent' government will be vociferously opposed in parliament because it would crush the already burdened masses of Pakistan," it said.
The joint statement expressed grave concern over "the rapidly shrinking room for freedom of speech, freedom of the press and broadcast" and the "economic snuffing of media outlets, leading to their closure".
The joint statement pointed out that a steep decline of 35% in the value of rupee had on the one hand added billions more to the foreign debt of Pakistan while on the other crucial sectors of national development and everyday life were severely hit by this devaluation.
"All these disastrous economic policies of the government created uncertainty in the investors that cost Pakistan more than $40 billion at the stock market and brought financial activity to a grinding halt," the joint statement said.

Page 005014 The New York Times Archives IF by day modern Tokyo seems as open and familiar as any major city on the globe, late at night this many-faced metropolis can feel oddly foreign to a visitor, like a club whose members are too polite to tell outsiders that they don't really belong. And then, it may just be a matter of which clubs you try. Beyond the breathless shopping marathon on the Ginza, and the yakitori bars that always seem to close too early, lies another Tokyo: ear-splitting, miniskirted, rocking to everything from reggae to jazz. It starts late and goes all night, giving new meaning to the phrase Land of the Rising Sun. Compared with the way an elegant tea ceremony, a whimsical woodblock print or a carefully wrought garden of moss and stone can tug gently on one's sensibilities, club life in Tokyo can offer a pretty rough-hewn cultural experience. Traditionally, of course, Tokyo has had a vibrant night life of teahouses, brothels and drinking establishments where geishas danced, sang and attended to customers. The floating world, as it was known, was a haven for artists, poets and other culturally refined city dwellers.
Money, youth and the high-powered sound system have changed all that, and women customers are very much a part of the dance club scene. The variety available is enormous, and a visitor should proceed with some care. There are, for instance, the so-called hostess bars in places like Ginza and Shinjuku, which a foreigner enters at his or her peril.

Window #8
He Took Bread And Blessed It And Brake And Gave To Them
This is the second Easter window. At first glance, it looks as though an error had been made in the installation of the windows, that this is a depiction of the Last Supper and is chronologically misplaced. But the sequence really is in proper order, for this window does not show the Last Supper at all, but rather the Supper at Emmaus on the evening of the resurrection day.
The quotation at the top of the window is from the Emmaus account (Luke 24:30). Jesus is shown breaking the bread in His hands, while the two disciples who accompanied Him to Emmaus sit at the table, finally recognizing Him, their hats and traveling staff hung up on the wall. The pitcher and bowl add to the confusion with the Last Supper, but these would also be a normal facility at any table for washing the dusty hands and feet of travelers. The traditional symbol of the Eucharist, however, the rayed chalice and host, appears at the top of the window.
Although it is not mentioned, the upper and lower portions of this window are tied together by the thought expressed in the hymn, "Break Thou the Bread of Life:' which refers as much to the Word of God as it does to the Sacrament. For here is God's Word being taught at the first Sunday School of our congregation, by Miss EIizabeth Pohlman in the spring of 1820. (Although the date of May 20, 1820 appears in the window, that was a Saturday, and our Sunday School records themselves give the date of Miss Pohlman's first class as April 30, 1820.)
Elizabeth Pohlman was a sister of the Rev. Henry N. Pohlman, who in later years returned to Albany to become pastor of his home church. Henry Pohlman had the distinction of being the first theological student at Hartwick Seminary, when the latter was finally opened in Otsego County in 1815-16. At the bottom of the window are the seals of Hartwick Seminary (right) and Hartwick College (left), the Lutheran educational institutions on our territory whose history has been so interwoven with that of our congregation.
Our present church edifice was completed in 1954, in which year Albany had a local bicentennial celebration commemorating the Albany Congress of 1754, when Benjamin Franklin came here. The circular emblem at the left center of this window depicts the old Albany Stadt Huys (city hall), where the congress was held. The emblem itself was used during the 1954 observance, and was lettered around the rim: 1754 Albany Cradle of the Union 1954.

> Gemba Coach> Is your obeya room used for real learning or as a glorified action plan?
How can I use an obeya for learning rather than for project management?
Step one - Confirm the company hoshin and vision to identify suitable work: work that teams find challenging, motivating and gives a sense of achievement.
Step two - Assign work: this has two dimensions, motivation and space to think. The aim of motivation is that "must-do" work becomes "want-to-do-work." To do so, one tries to convey the intent of the mission, explain the standards, and process, and strive to build mutual trust and respect. Space to think is, well, to get people to think. This is created by giving clues and hints, not answers.
Step three – Monitoring and leading to completion, is mostly about grasping the work situation, and then coaching teams to deal with it, which, again, involves motivation and space to think in many PDCA cycles.
Step four - Give a sense of achievement: evaluate the results, give feedback and let the team self-evaluate its own development, with the aim of supporting a feeling of achievement and personal growth.
How can a project obeya achieve its developmental purpose rather than devolve in one more management petty control tool? Most importantly, we need to keep in mind that the aim of the room is space to think and motivation.
Seeing together and understanding together the intent of the project: how are we going to satisfy customers with what we do.
Seeing together and understanding together what is happening and how we overcome obstacles, in order to develop self-confidence and confidence in each other.
Seeing together and understanding together key metrics to check whether we're progressing fast enough (and, yes, completion of a project plan is one such metric, but not the only one).
Seeing together and understanding together how we can create better circumstances for success, which mainly means dealing with the rest of the organization.
A customer wall: a section dedicated to the customer with customer complaints, customer feedback, customer preferences analysis and any other element that can give us cues into how our project is going to bring value to the support the customer's current lifestyle.
An A3 wall to show how we are solving product-centric problems: the product (or service) should appear centrally and visually so that we can all see what, exactly we are trying to build, which means concept, QFD matrix, key features and current learning A3s of how we learn to solve difficult problems.
A metrics wall: typically centered around a large visible project plan, but including other metrics, such as quality and cost to make sure we're on track.
A concurrent wall: no project exists in isolation and the last section of the obeya is dedicated to the interactions with key other functions and/or suppliers and handling the coordination of the environment, often, again, through A3s of problems solved to learn how to overcome obstacles.
This is not project management – this is creating space to think. None of these sections are supposed to be comprehensive, they're supposed to be dynamic to sustain and nourish a sense of collective engagement and, yes, fun, particularly if we're working across functions. The customers and product/service should stand out visible and intuitive, to be a beacon, a bright flame shining at the center of the room in order to frame effectively why we're here, working together, so that we can pick wise hows and effectives whats.
Do I get an intuitive idea of who the customers are?
Do I get a feel for the product/service or outcome the teams are trying to achieve, and can I see specific obstacles they're encountering and how they're trying to overcome them?
Do I see at a glance in what shape the project is in terms of delivery quality, milestones, and costs.
Do I grasp the organizational environment of the project and how the team is developing teamwork not just internally but across the boundaries of the project to other key stakeholders?
In other words, does this obeya prompt me to think deeply about the situation. Sadly, many obeyas are drawn from consulting templates and dedicated to managing tasks (as post-it notes), not understanding the content of the tasks. This twisted version of the obeya achieves precisely the opposite of what we seek – they quickly become yet another tool for management pressure and sacrificing outcome quality to hitting targets and objectives. Brrr.
To answer your question, your obeya will be a space for learning if you intend it as such. If the space is designed for space to think and motivation, this will create the right conditions for the team to learn, grow, and feel successful and, in John Shook's terms, learn to use constraints as their friend. If the obeya is designed as a project management space, teams might appreciate the time together and the visibility it gives, but the odds are the team will focus on managing tasks rather than think deeply and solve problems to create customer value. In the end, your own personal attitude to the obeya will determine its uses and its outcomes.
Why it is not possible to add likes under such articles ? I would add all 5 likes (on a 5 likes scale) ! You had to make me think - deeply think and it will take some time for to figure out with what you have said in this article :o).
Another great post. Truly helpful for retrospective. THANkS!


A Decreased Labor Time Can Be The Result Of Receiving Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy!
The nervous system controls all the functions of the body, including labor. Chiropractic adjustments ensure that there is no interference with the normal process of childbirth. Optimum nerve supply will allow the cervix to dilate and the uterus to contact rhythmically and forcefully to facilitate the natural birthing process. Alignment of the pelvis ensures the maximum amount of room for the baby to exit. The hormones necessary to initiate and continue the labors process are also controlled by the nervous system. Dr. Werner has seen how chiropractic has helped women experience the labor and delivery they envisioned.
Gentle chiropractic care is wonderful for pregnant women because it is drugless and will not harm the baby. Instead, chiropractic adjustments can enhance the functioning of the placenta to ensure that the baby is receiving an optimum amount of nourishment for proper growth and development. Dr. Werner even has a special table that allows you to lie on your stomach comfortably.
Chiropractic care can also help with a complication that arise during pregnancy, such as toxemia, and is beneficial in high-risk pregnancies, such as previous miscarriage and incompetent cervix.


There, the royal mother of three accompanied Queen Elizabeth II as she officially opened Bush House, the latest education and learning facilities on the Strand Campus.
Students claimed that they were barred due to their political views from entering King's College London during a visit by the Queen and Duchess of Cambridge. The Duchess was elegant in a grey Catherine Walker coat, believed to be a new bespoke addition to her wardrobe, which she teamed with her new favourite £510 Gianvito Rossi block heels and a black Mulberry clutch (right).
With the duchess set to be William's Queen Consort when he takes the throne in future, she's got a good mentor in the 92-year-old monarch.
The pair toured the university's facilities, including the faculty's new roof terrace and also viewed a robotics demonstration, including robotic surgery.
Do you like to see the Queen out with younger members of the royal family?
THE Queen and the Duchess of Cambridge had a warm reception yesterday - sharing a blanket en route to their first joint engagement outside palace walls. Meanwhile Queen Elizabeth opted for her own traditional look, a coat dress, this time in bright pink, and a wide-brimmed hat.
James noted that while the Queen likes both Kate and Meghan, their relationship's vary greatly: "Kate and the Queen tended to use signals of evenly-based friendship but Meghan and the Queen look more like a grandmother and a much-loved grand-daughter". "We look forward to working with her as we fulfill our mission to inspire people to make positive impact on society through the arts". Her most business causal was during her visit to the Henry Fawcett Children's Centre.

Alberta's Hydrodig receives non-dilutive financing from BDC and BDC Capital to facilitate ownership transfer
BENTLEY, ALBERTA, January 31, 2022 – Hydrodig, one of North America's largest hydro-excavation companies by fleet size, received non-dilutive financing from BDC and BDC Capital's Growth & Transition Capital division to enable a majority ownership transfer to co-founder Terry Romanow.
Hydro-excavation is the process of using pressurized water to carefully dig around existing infrastructure in places where traditional methods could cause damage. Romanow and partner Pat Lachambre originally founded Hydrodig in 1998 in Bentley, Alberta. In recent years, management has led the company's organic expansion into Eastern Canada and the United States and its diversification into new sectors like utilities and industrial construction within crowded urban centres. With Hydrodig today counting over 25 field offices across Canada, Romanow's plans now include further growing Hydrodig's activities south of the border and in select Canadian markets.
To meet the company's particular needs during this transition, BDC Capital arranged to deliver the funds through a patient unitranche loan which combines secured and unsecured debt in an integrated package featuring a blended interest rate and a predictable repayment schedule. The secured component, provided by BDC, reduces the overall cost of the financing, while the unsecured portion coming from BDC Capital gives the company more flexibility to invest in its expansion goals thanks to the partial deferment of the principal repayment to the end of the loan period. This package was arranged by David Wan, Growth & Transition Capital in Edmonton.
"The team from BDC and BDC Capital has provided a sound financial platform which enables Hydrodig to continue to deliver safe, consistent and above standard reliable services to our clients in Canada and the United States," says Terry Romanow, President, Hydrodig. "The complexities of this dual-nation transaction were handled professionally and efficiently. BDC provided an outstanding team to deal with and I look forward to what the future will bring to us with BDC's ongoing support and capabilities."
"We are delighted to assist Terry Romanow and his team at Hydrodig in closing this transaction," says Tabreez Lila, Managing Director for the Prairies, Growth & Transition Capital, BDC Capital. "Terry has shown himself to be a resilient and forward-looking entrepreneur as he simultaneously executed the profitable expansion of Hydrodig into new geographies while completing a successful shareholder buyout."
About BDC Capital
BDC Capital is the investment arm of BDC, the bank for Canadian entrepreneurs. With over $3 billion under management, BDC Capital serves as a strategic partner to the country's most innovative firms. It offers businesses a full spectrum of capital, from seed investments to growth equity, supporting Canadian entrepreneurs who have the ambition to stand out on the world stage.

BLOG: High Income and Home Values Don't Necessarily Jive
By Dave Smith
April 11, 2014, 5:42 PM HST (Updated April 11, 2014, 5:44 PM)
If you're looking for an ultra-ritzy neighborhood in Hawaii, don't bother with the Big Island.
According to the latest "Fun Facts" release from the folks at the state's Research and Economic Analysis Division, there are 11 census tracts in the state where the values of owner-occupied homes average a million dollars or more.
None is in Hawaii County.
Most are on Oahu: Portlock, Waialae Iki, Waialae-Kahala, Diamond Head, East Manoa, Round Top-Tanatalus, Kalaheo Avenue and Lanikai.
The neighbor islands have three: Wailea and Honokowai on Maui, and Haena-Hanale on Kauai.
According to an interactive map provided by the division, the closest on the Big Island is the Hualalai census tract, which consists of a broad area mauka of Kailua-Kona extending into both North Kona and South Kona.
By far, the most expensive homes on the Big Island are found in the Hualalai census tract in mauka Kona. Screenshot of DBEDT website.
The average home value there is $769,500, more than $200,000 higher than the area with the next highest value, the neighboring tract of Kaumalumalu-Keahou, where home values average $492,200.
Oddly, neither of those is at the top when it comes to median household income. That distinction is held by the Kawailani tract in Hilo, where families pull in $78,143 annually, followed by neighboring Haihai at $73,276. Coming in at third at $71,886 is the Kawaihae-Waikoloa tract in West Hawaii.
The lowest average home value on the Big Island is in the Ka`u tract at $168,300, followed by Kalapana-Kapoho at $222,000.
But in keeping with the previous paradox, neither has the lowest average household income.
That distinction falls to one of eight census tracts in Hilo, University-Houselots (must have something to do with college students' reputation as being poor) followed closely by Hilo's Puueo-Downtown tract at $25,454. Located in between is the third lowest, Villa Franca-Kaiko`o, at $31,427.
But just a bit south of University-Houselots are the aforementioned Kawailani and Haihai tracts with the island's biggest incomes, but also with relatively modest home values averaging $328,400 and $295,200, respectively.
And the latter is just barely above University-Houselots' home values of $291,000.

When it comes to the important things that can make or break an occasion, couple of are as important as the quality, taste and look of the food and drinks you serve. A lot is riding on your decision of which caterer to work with, and if you believe this decision really isn't that crucial, look at it in this manner, fantastic catering can rescue an occasion that's on the rocks, but bad catering will generally send out visitors to the doors.
In addition, since catering is typically the # 1 or # 2 line-item cost for many events, the catering service you choose is also a significant budgetary decision and can influence how much money you have left over to invest in other areas depending on food expenses and amounts.
Include the fact that catering services can vary significantly in their prices and the types of meals and services they provide, and the procedure of picking a catering service can figuratively and actually feel like you are comparing apples to oranges.
Of all the event and catering professionals we talked with, this turned up over and over and over again, primarily since how responsive and interested a caterer is during your preliminary discussions is a sign of how they will carry out during the length of their contract with you (and more on agreements later on).
A potential catering service should be finding out as much as they can about you in your very first couple of conversations with them, so you need to anticipate them to be talking and asking concerns about 20% of the time and you offering answers and describing your needs about 80% of the time.
So when interviewing your Belvedere Park catering services (and you must speak with a minimum of 3 catering services for any event with a reasonable spending plan), you need to specify about the kind of occasion you are preparing and the type of food and/or presentation you are anticipating. Otherwise, you might end up picking a catering service who just isn't an excellent suitable for the type or style of your occasion.
Almost every caterer has a standard menu or menus to pick from, and numerous do offer some level of built-in flexibility to adjust these menus to your specific needs by replacing specific items and/or tailoring others.
However, the standout caterers will go beyond standardized menu options and be willing to create fantastic fare that matches even more particular style and dietary needs.
Some people avoid asking to sample the particular items they want for their occasion due to the fact that it appears like an inconvenience for the catering service, however it is standard to request a tasting of what you are intending to order prior to you sign on the dotted line.
In addition, you can ask for wine parings for these tastings if they are appropriate for your occasion (once again, be prepared to pay a fee, it's a small cost to pay to guarantee you pick the right caterer). And when you are sampling the food, also take care of how it is presented, as any caterer who puts in the time to correctly show a sample will most likely be most likely to make that type of effort on your occasion day.
You may remain in for a surprise if you work with a BARBEQUE take-out joint to cater an official ballroom fundraiser. Or if you select a high-end corporate event catering service to serve a barn wedding. Why? Since these caterers may not be accustomed to preparing and serving food in such a setting.
A lot more standard venues can likewise have restrictions that catering services must follow, like particular setup requirements or disposal limitations for waste food and water, so having a catering service that recognizes with a location's rules can possibly save you great deals of hassle on occasion day.
The catering service's contract ought to clearly define exactly what food, beverages and services the catering service will be offering on the designated day( s). Furthermore, it should safeguard you from non-performance as much as it safeguards the caterer from non-payment/default, so you may want to think about having a lawyer} take a look at it prior to you sign it.
Every detail needs to be consisted of in the contract, consisted of chosen menus, number of portions and/or individuals to be served, beverage/bar service details (if applicable) and all pricing and additional services.
No caterer in Belvedere Park with a shred of self-respect and scruples enters into an agreement with plans to bail at the last minute, however you have to ensure there is a cancellation provision in your agreement simply in case your catering service needs to cancel.
You don't want to be left without recourse with only days or hours prior to your occasion, so simply ensure cancellation procedures and penalties remain in place so you do have a backup strategy.
Obviously you will need to look into the caterers in Belvedere Park you are considering, and it's always great to start online and check out sites.
Nevertheless, do not stop there, as online reviews are not constantly trustworthy (and even authentic); for instance, a great catering service may have had a couple of nightmare/hater customers who alter their scores, while a genuinely mediocre caterer might have padded their online reviews. So see if you can track down some previous customers of the caterers you are considering and reach out to them.
Surprisingly, the length of time a catering business in Belvedere Park has stayed in business may not be as vital in selecting an excellent catering service as you might believe.

In August 2007, Russia Today became the first television channel to report live from the North Pole (with the report lasting five minutes and 41 seconds). An RT crew participated in the Arktika 2007 Russian polar expedition, led by Artur Chilingarov on the Akademik Fyodorov icebreaker.[42][43] On 31 December 2007, RT's broadcasts of New Year's Eve celebrations in Moscow and Saint Petersburg were broadcast in the hours prior to the New Year's Eve event at New York City's Times Square.[43]
In November 2016, after the US Presidential Election, The Washington Post reported that RT and Sputnik were "state-funded Russian information services that mimic the style and tone of independent news organizations yet sometimes include false and misleading stories in their reports" and also that "RT, Sputnik and other Russian sites used social-media accounts to amplify misleading stories already circulating online".[260] The Post was criticized by The Intercept, Fortune, and Rolling Stone for relying in part on an analysis by PropOrNot, an anonymous organization with no reputation for fact-checking.[261][262][263]
I'm sorry that you are disgusted, but I understand why you are wary. Keep in mind that some of these options let you try their services for free before you commit to anything. Also, if you have a few friends, as most people do, there's a possibility one or more of them is already using one of these cable alternatives. Why not ask around to see if any of them do? That would give you the opportunity to receive a review from someone you know and trust to tell you how things really are. I wish you luck and encourage you not to give up on finding a replacement for cable.

The channel was launched as Russia Today on 10 December 2005. At its launch, the channel employed 300 journalists, including approximately 70 from outside Russia.[31] Russia Today appointed Margarita Simonyan as its editor-in-chief, who recruited foreign journalists as presenters and consultants.[32] Simonyan stated that the channel's intent was to have a "professional format" akin to the BBC and Euronews that would "reflect Russia's opinion of the world" and present a "more balanced picture" of Russia.[37]
To get OTA TV channels directly onto the Xbox One you need a tuner that runs between the aerial and the console. They aren't expensive, but depending on where you live they will look a little different. In Europe, for example, there is an official Xbox-branded tuner that's still available, while in North America it's produced by Hauppauge. (That same version is also now available in Europe, too.)
"We did it! Finally cut the cable cord. It was an oddly empowering moment. However within a few weeks of basking in our joy and anticipation of the savings we were going to experience we started getting some rather concerning emails from our former cable company about data overages! We could stream to our hearts content while we paid exorbitant rates for cable that supplied us with an endless supply of channels we never used. The minute we took charge that old pesky cable company somehow infiltrated our lives again with the promise of extra fees. We started getting a daily deluge of emails letting us know for a few more drops of blood ... I mean dollars ... we could keep our overages in check and be safe and complacent again. We were floored. But alas we caved but in our small protest we vowed to neva-eva-eva-eva go hungry again... I mean pay for cable again!" ― Lucy Fellows
Local major network affiliates have their own transmitters, so it's likely that your area gets channels like ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC free over the air – and that's not to mention other common over-the-air channels like PBS and Univision. How many channels are available and how big of an antenna you'll need to pick them up will vary by region, but getting the answers to these questions is pretty simple. Check out our free over-the-air TV explainer and our complete guide to choosing an antenna and getting free HDTV over the air for more important information. There's a reason that this is the classic solution to the problem of how to watch local channels without cable or satellite.
Google TV is, quite literally, the Android of streaming boxes. It's available on a number of different devices from different manufacturers, in different price ranges, and with different remotes. As such, we can't talk too much about the hardware here (though the VIZIO Co-Star, shown at the right, is a great looking model available for preorder now). The software, however, is very reminiscent of an Android tablet...because that's exactly what it is. You have a wall of icons representing your media, live TV, apps like Netflix and Amazon, and others. You can download Google TV-optimized Android apps from the Google Play store and put them on your home screen.
This year alone, some 6 million people are expected to ditch satellite and cable, causing a major pain point for the providers of digital entertainment.

US Citizen Killed In Officer-Involved Shooting At San Ysidro Port of Entry
Credit: Gregory Bull / Associated Press
Above: Cars wait to enter the United States from Tijuana through the San Ysidro Port of Entry, Dec. 3, 2014.
A 23-year-old man who opened fire on U.S. Customs and Border Patrol personnel at the San Ysidro Port of Entry was shot and killed by agents, authorities said Tuesday morning.
Police received a call of an officer-involved shooting about 7:45 p.m. Monday and responded to the secondary inspection area of the Port of Entry to assist CBP agents and learned a suspect had been wounded in the shooting, according to Lt. Matt Dobbs of the San Diego Police Department.
"CBP officers and San Diego Fire-Rescue personnel attempted life-saving measures on the suspect; however, he, unfortunately, did not survive his injuries," Dobbs said.
Witnesses told investigators the suspect was driving through the Port of Entry from Mexico into the United States and refused to stop for CBP officers and "attempted to drive through the inspection area," Dobbs said.
CBP officers tried to stop the suspect, whose vehicle was eventually blocked by another vehicle, Dobbs said.
"The suspect began firing a gun out of his vehicle towards the officers, then exited his vehicle and continued firing at the officers," Dobbs said. "The officers returned fire, striking the suspect."
The name of the suspect was not immediately released, but he was a U.S. citizen, Dobbs said.
Seven CBP officers were involved in the shooting, but none were injured.
Anyone who witnessed the shooting was asked to call SDPD's Homicide Unit at 619-531-2293 or Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.
