change - Sometimes we just need to rip the Band-Aid off and make it happen all at once. I'm here to challenge that thought. Recently I was running and took a bad spill. I skinned my knee, elbow and foot. I wasn't so injured that I needed medical care. I just had some serious scrapes that left me reliant on bandages for over a week. One particular night when I was changing the bandage on my knee – I ripped the Band-Aid off and literally ripped off some healthy skin that was surrounding my scrape. I now had an additional wound requiring attention that was completely unnecessary.
How often do we do this in organizations without even realizing it? We cause extra damage by the speed in which we move. Sometimes we are so quick with our decisions that we forget that we can get better and more sustained results by slowing down. We think if we slow down it will be a greater pain that will linger and be remembered, pain by inches, versus pain all at once that quickly is forgotten. If you've ever ripped off healthy skin by accident, you'll know that this pain is not quickly forgotten and it can take up to several weeks for the skin to regenerate and heal.
When these types of Band-Aid-ripping-wounds occur, the organization can suffer in significant and unnecessary ways that lose public and employee trust. We can't always control the impact that change creates in an organization. However, when you move too quickly you can create more damage than moving through change at a slow and consistent pace.
Yes, it is painful to pull off a bandage a small section at a time, but in most cases there are far fewer unintended surprises. There will be consistent discomfort and many may find it uncomfortable. The majority though, will know that the incremental stages of change that lead to a new future (a bandage-free healthy limb) will be able to hang in there until the end. No change is mess free, but a "rip-the-Band-Aid-off" type of change is rarely the best approach.
Have you seen this type of Band-Aid damage recently both at a national and local level? What changes have you made too quickly? What did you do to help heal the healthy-skin-damage?


Apparently, some things still do attract the attention of the underfunded IRS tax-exempt group, because they are planning on paying a site visit to the Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino in Iowa this morning.
Prairie Meadows has, since 1989, been organized as a nonprofit, the only way one might get a gambling license in Iowa. With $2.2 billion a year in revenue, the enterprise in 2013 put $21 million into grants to other local entities. More than two-thirds of that, or $15 million, went to three governmental bodies: Polk County, which received $10.4 million; the city of Des Moines, which received a little less than $5 million; and the city of Altoona, which received only $1 million. Most of the rest goes to school districts.
Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(4), Prairie Meadows Race Track and Casino is not organized for profit but is operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare. The promotion of social welfare includes providing a source of recreation for the community, and providing a generally positive economic impact on central Iowa Pursuant to Section 99F6(4)(A) of the Iowa Code.
The IRS has been auditing them for 18 months—and not for the first time; a similar audit was performed in 2002. This time around, it's because the Des Moines Register did an exposé on executive salaries. Since the audit goes back to 2012, if the group's tax exemption is pulled, it could leave the organization owing millions.
As a series of reports from the First Nations Development Institute has documented, philanthropy has systemically underinvested in Native American communities. But why? One reason, suggests Institute vice president Raymond Foxworth, is that subconsciously philanthropy has often imbibed the same myths as has US society as a whole that marginalize American Indians.

Cybersecurity Expo Connects Israeli, American Businesses
Presenters at Israel-Delaware Valley Cybersecurity Expo pose for a group picture. (Courtesy of Vered Nohi and the Philadelphia-Israel Chamber of Commerce)
Cybersecurity may sound like something esoteric and inaccessible, but it's an increasingly important concern for governments, businesses and everyday people.
And for that reason, innovation and business partnerships driven by cybersecurity concerns have taken off between two countries that are recognized cybersuperpowers — the United States and Israel.
That relationship in this specific commercial sector has roots in Silicon Valley and all recognized major American tech hubs, but there are some interesting cross-cultural partnerships happening locally.
The organization facilitating those relationships between Delaware Valley businesses and academic institutions and their Israeli counterparts is the Philadelphia-Israel Chamber of Commerce, which hosted the Israel Delaware Valley Cybersecurity Expo on Nov. 18.
The goal of the expo was to strengthen the academic and business ties between the Philadelphia-South Jersey-Delaware area and Israel, the U.S.'s closest cyberally.
"What we do is facilitate collaboration," PICC Executive Director Vered Nohi said. "We invite regional chief information officers, chief information security officers, integrators and others who are interested in exploring different levels of cooperation."
TD Bank, headquartered in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, is just one example of a local corporation employing Israeli tech know-how to fortify its operations' security. In 2017, TD opened what it calls their Innovation Center in Tel Aviv, where the bank, per its website, is "actively searching for groundbreaking cybersecurity technologies" and "working with Israeli startups and technology companies to develop the cybersecurity solutions for the banks of tomorrow."
When Nohi led a PICC delegation to Israel in September, they visited the TD Innovation Lab, and she was amazed.
"It was very interesting to see how they're able to develop and deploy new products for cybersecurity within a very short time. I don't want to give away any secrets they wouldn't want me to tell, but I'll say this: They are able to save significant time in the development by doing so in Israel."
And time is money, which means American companies partnering with Israeli firms for this type of work are seeing profits, but the good fortune is going both ways, Nohi said.
"Any joint venture that helps Israeli companies to provide more profitable and more competitive services for their clients, both here and worldwide, definitely increases their revenue, too," Nohi said. "And it creates more jobs here and there."
As for this week's conference, no major deals were signed.
"These conferences, these are like first dates … and you don't sign deals on first dates," said Inon Elroy, who heads the Israeli Economic and Trade Office in New York. "(This conference) was mostly the beginning of discussions for many of the companies. But these (kinds of conferences) are important both for business but also socially, to strengthen the relationships."
For Elroy, the strong connection between Israel and the U.S. in the cybersecurity context is not surprising; it's part of a much larger relationship that transcends commercial sectors and even commerce itself.
"The bonds between Israeli and U.S. partners are very strong in additional contexts," he said. "Of the 330-plus global offices of companies in Israel, about 60-70% of them are American, and you'll find that most of the funding that develops Israeli tech companies comes from American sources.
"But it's not David and Goliath," he added.
Most years, American investment in Israeli companies outpaces Israeli investment in American counterparts by 70-30, but sometimes it's 60-40 and, in a one particular recent year, there was surplus on the Israeli side.
Elroy was impressed by the presentation delivered by Pennsylvania Chief Information Officer John MacMillan.
"We were very happy to get details from the commonwealth executives during this conference, and it was also interesting to hear how many projects there have been through the Bird Foundation."
The Bird Foundation is a fund initiated between the U.S. government and Israel 44 years ago, which provides conditional loans for research and development projects between U.S. and Israeli companies.
Since Bird's creation, there have been more than 930 projects and more than $330 million approved; it's claimed that the cumulative turnover from all projects has reached $8-10 billion.
"That's quite amazing, if you ask me," Elroy said.
Both he and Nohi pointed out that while Israel does receive attention for its strength in technology and cyberinnovation, the strength of U.S.-Israeli commercial relationships is strong across industries.

Eight American tracks we like to see in racing sims
Within the yr 2023, racing followers are very fortunate to have so many racing recreation choices to fiddle with. Whether or not you are an iRacing devotee, a real rFactor 2 ace, an ace in Assetto Corsa Competizione and even simply plain superior in Gran Turismo 7, there are many choices to race what you need, if you need and the place you need.
Largely what, when and the place, that's. Particularly the latter, as it's generally restricted to the sport being chosen. Whereas most rides can have massive services like Daytona or Spa-Francorchamps, some tracks aren't even represented in any video video games or simulations in any respect.
We're very fortunate to be within the USA. The largest racing collection right here, NASCAR, has all of its nationwide collection racing venues accessible on sims like iRacing and even in its personal video games like NASCAR Rivals. Nonetheless, there are loads of wonderful racing venues right here that haven't been formally represented in any online game ever.
Whereas some video games like the unique rFactor, NASCAR Racing 2003 Season, and Assetto Corsa might have the power so as to add an unofficial mod to any observe you possibly can think about, an correct, largely laser-scanned illustration of any location is vital and what we're given right now's matter particularly – what Are the American racing venues that we prefer to race in our favourite racing sim recreation titles?
1. Ozarks Worldwide Raceway – Gravois Mills, Missouri
Fairly probably probably the most helpful locations to incorporate on this full observe checklist, the Ozarks Worldwide Raceway in Gravois Mills, Missouri, is greater than only one configuration. Actually, the way forward for the power may additionally make room for various types of motorsports, from street racing to off-road racing and even some time-play within the grime. One of many cooler points of the Ozarks is that it is without doubt one of the most trendy racing services on this planet.
image: Ozarks Worldwide Raceway
Not too long ago designed and introduced into this world, the Ozarks was in-built 2020 and opened for the primary time within the present 2022 season. The principle course is a 19-lap strip of asphalt that's 3.970 miles or 6.389 kilometers lengthy. Inside that, there's an outside course that is 2.5 miles or 4.023 kilometers lengthy, which lasts 11 corners, in addition to an indoor course that is 1.4 miles or 2.253 kilometers lengthy and has solely 9 turns.
In these configurations, the Ozarks have seen collection like IMSA's Lamborghini Tremendous Trofeo and SRO's GT World Problem of America. The complicated can also be mentioned to have plans for off-road racing and a dust tri-oval for conventional grime racing. So near being a close to excellent place to get out and scan, all you want is an asphalt oval and it is going to be a grand slam venue.
He hasn't been round for that lengthy, so it might make sense as to why he hasn't been in any online game or simulation but. Regardless, it might be a smash to see a street racing half in any simulator on the market, and maybe iRacing specifically to discover these future prospects of off-road and grime racing.
2. Evergreen Raceway – Monroe, Washington
Shifting in direction of most of the oval tracks seen right here in america, Pacific Northwest has the Evergreen Speedway, the Northwest's premier brief course. Just like the Ozarks, Evergreen lends itself to be a little bit of a Swiss Military Knife with a number of other ways to get your race.
The principle venue is the Outer Oval, an everyday oval 5/8 of a mile lengthy. There's additionally an indoor oval of three/8 of a mile and 1/5 of a mile, plus the way in which the ovals intersect offers the power to do a figure-eight run. Oh, there's additionally an 1/8 mile drag observe on the premises, too.
NASCAR Dwelling observe that hosts the NASCAR Whelen All-American Collection Different fairground occasions embody Formulation Drift, a number of native racing lessons, NASCAR Craftsman Truck Collection races within the late Nineteen Nineties and even a International Rallycross occasion in 2016 which implies there was a observe configuration Off-road or rallycross occasionally can also be right here.
Pictures: Evergreen Speedway, Fb
Talking of Craftsman vehicles, when Evergreen was on the schedule the observe was featured in two of Papyrus NASCAR's racing titles. These are very previous, and the observe has seen numerous enhancements since then. Whereas NASCAR itself finally must get on the market and get a number of of its nationwide races on the market once more, discovering it in a recreation like iRacing and even someplace like rFactor 2 or Automobilista 2 could be enjoyable to see.
3. St. Petersburg Road Circuit – St. Petersburg, Florida
Heading to the precise reverse area of the Pacific Northwest, the primary of the 2 road makeovers on the checklist is St. Petersburg, which is within the Southeast, in Florida. The momentary observe in St. Petersburg has been an occasion because the Eighties, it has been tweaked since then however is generally the identical venue it's right now.
St. Petersburg Road Stadium, USA, Richard Doll, Motorsport Footage
Typically the inaugural season of the NTT IndyCar Collection, the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg downtown space in addition to one of many runways at Albert Whitted Airport. The 14-corner momentary circuit is 2.897 kilometers, or 1.8 miles, in America.
Whereas momentary programs exist already in simulators and different video video games, and have actually been recreated in mods of older video games, St. Seaside in California has been concerned in iRacing for years.

Getting survey gear out and in with out messing up a weekend might be a frightening activity, contemplating these temps have to get again to their regular each day jobs as quickly as potential. Regardless, we're hoping this observe might be a part of a brand new IndyCar recreation when it is launched in 2023 on the very least, though it might be good to see it in any sim.
4. Nashville road circuit – Nashville, Tennessee
The momentary 2nd Road Circuit is a reasonably new venue, and whereas it wasn't as purpose-built because the Ozarks, Nashville's new Road Circuit is really a singular new venue in one in every of America's music capitals.
Streets of Nashville 2022 Philip Abbott Motorsport Footage
Nashville is internet hosting the Music Metropolis Grand Prix, a brand new occasion beginning in 2021. The circuit is 2,170 miles or 3,492 kilometers lengthy, and has 11 turns across the downtown Nashville space. The observe races close to the soccer area of the Tennessee Titans and climbs up and down the Korean Struggle Veterans Memorial Bridge over the Cumberland River.
In case you have a look at an overhead shot of a observe map, it seems to be a bit like a musical observe. So good, within the metropolis of music and all. It has been a troublesome one for the IndyCar collection to deal with each years, with a number of controversies right here and there through the occasions. Nonetheless, the momentary observe may be very distinctive and would make a fantastic addition to many racing video games on the market.
Scott Dixon, Chip Ganassi Racing Honda, Gavin Baker, Motorsport Footage
Identical to St. Petersburg, nevertheless, discovering the time to clear the realm in between all of the racing motion could be an enormous drawback for any road circuit. I hope it is going to be included within the IndyCar title however it might be very welcome in all the opposite simulators on the market too.
5 and 6. Pikes Peak Hill Climb / Int'l Raceway – Pikes Peak, Colorado
This can be a little bit of a alternative, as Pikes Peak Hill Climb and Pikes Peak Worldwide Raceway are two separate venues within the Colorado mountains. Nonetheless, having both or each of the racing areas at Pikes Peak could be an enormous inclusion for a lot of titles.
Pikes Peak Worldwide Raceway utilized by Rallycross in 2011, gained by Marcus Gronholm – Motorsport Footage
About half-hour aside, Pikes Peak Worldwide Raceway was my first thought when buying this itemizing. Pikes Peak is a multi-purpose path in Colorado Springs that's basically a mile-long oval. The Pikes Peak facility additionally has a 1.3-mile nine-turn oval that races contained in the oval and makes use of a portion of the oval as properly. There's additionally a brief quarter-mile oval on the grounds.
The oval is used to host races for NASCAR Craftsman and Xfinity Collection vehicles, in addition to NTT IndyCar races. Whereas the observe remains to be in use, it isn't utilized by most of the massive racing collection these days. Then again, Hill Climb remains to be a extremely popular point-to-point course known as Race to the Clouds.
This Hill Climb was included within the DiRT Rally from 2015, however since this title not too long ago got here off digital cabinets, which means the 12.42-mile hill climb with 156 turns is not within the presently sold-out title, making it an ideal candidate for the factor. new. iRacing may be the right place to deal with each the Hill Climb and the Raceway, as iRacing already has Mount Washington at their service. I feel it might be a win-win in the event that they cleared the hill climbs and stopped on the oval to seize that for posterity.
7. Winchester Speedway – Winchester, Indiana
Generally known as the world's quickest half-mile speedway, Winchester Speedway in Indiana attracts consideration for a really steep motive—at 37 levels of banking, no different observe has extra banking in all the United States.
A historic web site, the roots of Winchester Raceway hint all the way in which again to the early 2000s. The present model of the observe was shaped within the Fifties and, to this point, is what makes it one of many oldest ovals in all the nation. It has not hosted any NASCAR collection races because the Fifties, nevertheless it has hosted some ARCA races till not too long ago. Most notably, the Winchester 400 is the favored Tremendous Late Mannequin occasion that takes place on the facility.
Whereas there are numerous ovals that need to be a part of any gaming title, Winchester could be simply tremendous enjoyable to expertise such banking in a aggressive digital setting. Tracks like Salem Speedway, Anderson Speedway, and Putnam Park would have been nice Indiana tracks to incorporate on this checklist, and Winchester simply speaks loudest as probably the most historic and craziest locations on the market proper right here in America.
8. Riverhead Riverhead – Riverhead, Lengthy Island, New York
I might be remiss if I left my private dwelling observe off this checklist, contemplating I grew up in my very own yard for a decade. One other oval on the checklist is Riverhead Raceway, a 0.2-mile venue on the japanese finish of Lengthy Island, about an hour from New York Metropolis and 45 minutes from Montauk.
Pictures: Riverhead Raceway
Dwelling to the NASCAR Whelen Modified Collection, in addition to a slate of native racing collection that features Legends Automobiles, Late Fashions, and Tremendous Professional Vans, Riverhead Raceway is Lengthy Island's final everlasting racetrack after the closure of locations like Westhampton and Islip.
The oval generally turns into a figure-eight observe, the within of the observe is paved with traces drawn in a crosshatch sample. Pit street, very like the storage space, is off the observe, positioned on the entrance in Flip 3 and the exit in Flip 4.
Much like Evergreen, Riverhead is a signature NASCAR Dwelling Observe, and is the Islip 300 spotlight through the summer season months of the season. Once more, like a Winchester, you possibly can actually select any native oval observe you fancy, however being able to compete in your precise dwelling observe in any capability is a sense I have never been capable of expertise in any online game, and to be truthful, Riverhead is only some hours' drive from iRacing folks within the north.

Hafter calls on troops to be ready to "liberate" Tripoli
By Libya Herald reporter.
Khalifa Hafter (file photo)
Benghazi, 14 December 2016:
The head of the Libyan National Army, Field Marshal Khalifa Hafter, has called on officers and soldiers to be ready for the offensive to free Tripoli. He was speaking to members of the LNA. A top LNA official confirmed to the Libya Herald this evening that Hafter had made the call.
Exactly what sort of offensive Hafter intends was not stated. He has previously stated that he would never go to Tripoli if it involved a fight. However, although there are reports of him being in contact with some forces in the capital, it is generally thought that any attempt by LNA forces to take Tripoli will unite the currently divided militia forces there against them.
For the past two and a half years Hafter has been regularly predicting the liberation of Benghazi.
Hafter also spoke about the rape case in Tripoli, saying that he had been deeply upset by it, as if it had affected him personally.

Glory is Fleeting, Obscurity is Forever...
Two centuries ago, Europe was in the midst of one of the most gripping periods in human history. It was an era that saw cobblers become princes and emperors become exiles, an age of legendary diplomats and brilliant tacticians. Listen to the roll of the drum, the call of the bugle, and see the banners unfurled above the divisions and corps. Wide-eyed recruits march next to battle-scarred veterans, sabers clatter alongside the bags of grapeshot, the wheels of hundreds of caissons rattle, as generals plan and diplomats plot, and all of Europe grasps with desperate hands for… The Crown Of Glory.
This new Emperor's Edition is a sequel to the acclaimed Crown of Glory and improves on the original in every area, immersing the player in the epic events of the Napoleonic era. A beautiful strategic map with more than 200 provinces covers all of Europe and North Africa, with scenarios and campaigns from 1792 up to 1820. Stronger AI, a streamlined interface and a new simplified economic model to allow players to focus on the aspects of the game they most enjoy. Players take the role of one of the crowned potentates of any of the eight Major powers as well as having the option to play as a minor power such as Poland, Denmark or Portugal.
A turn-based structure allows you to play at your own pace, deciding on the military, diplomatic, economic and social paths of your nation, including treaties, trade routes and levying and supplying military units. While your armies march across a worldwide map with monthly turns, detailed land and naval battles allow you to play at a smaller scale, where your brigades, divisions and ships can be commanded with historical tactics. All battles can be resolved quickly or fought out on a detailed battlefield map.
Each unit has its purpose on the battlefield, with such diverse troops as Jagers, Cossacks, Janissaries and Horse Artillery all modeled for individual strength and morale ratings and each beautifully rendered and animated.
