Canada's population is diverse. Speech-language pathology as a profession must evolve to genuinely reflect this diversity and ensure that all individuals across the country have access to culturally competent and safe prevention, promotion, assessment and intervention services. The panel is comprised of four S-LP members of an SAC committee tasked with creating a diversity position statement.
Understand the concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Identify ways to make the professions more diverse, and how S-LPs can be more culturally competent.
Be able to explain what it means to provide culturally safe services, as well as how to counter systemic and attitudinal barriers to equitable services.

CASLPO, S-LP(C), Department of Speech-Language Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON.
Many clinicians support the clinical education of student learners and mentor newly-graduated clinicians with entry-to-practice competencies. Understanding the new competency-based entry-to-practice Canadian landscape and resultant changes in assessment of learners is thus imperative. This workshop provides an exploration of key features and concepts related to the competency-based education and assessment for learning. The session will augment brief didactic presentations with interactive discussion and reflection. Participants will apply competency-based assessment principles using examples from the new Canadian Assessment of Clinical Competence, which will then enable them to apply these concepts and strategies in their own contexts.

In this workshop, the presenter will first review principles of exercise physiology/muscle performance, as well as principles of neuroplasticity and motor learning and their applications and current evidence in dysphagia rehabilitation. We will summarize examples of both muscle performance and skill-based training approaches. Then, we will introduce a new approach developed by the presenter, the Intensive Dysphagia Rehabilitation Approach (IDRA). IDRA is a neuroplasticity-driven intensive treatment approach that combines both muscle performance and skill-based training in addition to adherence-inducing features. IDRA was designed to systematize clinical methods and maximize outcomes in patients with dysphagia. The workshop will discuss the components of IDRA and present data supporting its safety and preliminary effectiveness. The workshop will build a case as to why such combination approaches may be more effective for some of our patients, and will end with case studies where participation of the audience will be integral.
Describe principles of exercise physiology, neuroplasticity and motor learning.
Identify the scientific premise of the IDRA components.
Describe how to start implementing some of these components in their practice.

A Nonlinear Metric for Phonological Assessment Applied to Multisyllabic Words
Authors: Glenda Mason, PhD, RSLP, S-LP(C), The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC; Daniel Berube, PhD, RSLP, Université d'Ottawa, Ottawa, ON.
This session will present a whole word metric for the evaluation of phonological accuracy and progress monitoring in multisyllabic words. Participants will have hands-on training and practice in a streamlined software application, i.e. Phon (Hedlund & Rose, 2018), for transcription and analysis of multisyllabic word productions. The presentation will summarize current research using the metric for a sample of mono-English and French-speaking preschoolers and school-aged children, with and without speech sound disorder/protracted phonological development. Finally, it will describe research that is underway with the aim to acquire sufficient normative data for a representative sample of mono- and multisyllabic words.

Recent international efforts to increase consensus and awareness of developmental language disorder (DLD) have the potential to positively impact families and services. This workshop will consider criteria and challenges for using the term "DLD" in a way that allows for practice setting constraints but achieves reasonable consistency across settings. We will also consider how to share child assessment results indicating DLD with parents. Finally, we will think about the content and talking/thinking tools that can help us succeed with these crucial conversations.
Discuss when to use the label DLD.
Understand how to approach sharing this clinical information.

In an ideal world, written information in public spaces would be accessible for everyone, thereby fostering public environments that are enjoyable and inclusive. But that is often not the case. For many people with communication difficulties, the confidence and capabilities bolstered within clinical and rehabilitation settings often do not transfer easily into public settings. Some people may avoid public spaces out of fear of spontaneous interactions, having to ask for help, not understanding or being overwhelmed. To add to the growing global awareness of coping with communication difficulties in 'real world' environments, this workshop will present and discuss current issues in the accessibility of written information in public spaces. The workshop will focus on what "accessibility of information" means in varying environments for people with various needs. We will discuss common obstacles that render written information illegible, confusing or incomprehensible, as well as the possible consequences that may result in information being misunderstood. We will collaboratively discuss solutions to overcome these obstacles both in situ and in practice. Finally, we will discuss means of implementing and measuring these solutions while identifying possible limitations. The overall goal of this workshop is to open the discussion regarding factors found to reduce accessibility of written information in common social environments.
Identify and discuss the obstacles that people may encounter when navigating public spaces.
Discuss possible ways to improve the accessibility of written information in public spaces.

Drawing Conclusions and Making Inferences: Two Sides of the Same Coin
Author: Judith Fuhrman, M.S., CCC-SLP, Riverside Unified School District, Riverside, CA.
The abilities to draw conclusions and to make inferences require the same basic mental processes. What are the required skills and how can you help students to develop them? This hands-on session will provide fun teaching ideas that you can implement tomorrow in your therapy sessions. The skills easily transfer to the classroom and will help you to bridge the gap between clinical and educational settings.

Un-date-ed?: Identifying Inflectional, Derivational and Compound Morphology in Language Samples
Author: Bonita Squires, M.Sc, Ph.D. (ABD)
Advanced academic vocabulary is largely made up of multi-morphemic words, such as 'geographical', 'inequality' and 'expressionism'. To assess and intervene on vocabulary development, clinicians may consider identifying multi-morphemic words and morphemes that children already produce in language samples. In this mini-seminar, participants will learn about language sampling and the development of different types of morphology. Next, they will practice the systematic identification of multi-morphemic words in the language sample of a child who is deaf or hard-of-hearing. Finally, attendees will brainstorm ways to use this information in setting goals and developing stimuli for intervention.

Clinical Reasoning: Developing a Remediation Program to Help Practicing Professionals
Authors: Alexandra Carling, Doctor of Philosophy, Speech Language Pathologist, College of Audiologists and Speech Language Pathologists of Ontario, Toronto, ON; Sarah Chapman-Jay, Speech Language Pathologist, College of Audiologists and Speech Language Pathologists of Ontario, Toronto, ON.
A clinical reasoning remediation program for healthcare professionals can help ensure quality service and protection of the public. The assumption is that all practicing clinicians use clinical reasoning when providing service, however, a small number of clinicians are in need of help with these skills. This presentation will describe the Clinical Reasoning Remediation Program developed by the College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Ontario (CASLPO). The remediation program has been designed to meet the needs of experienced professionals using adult learning principles, as well as established methodologies to promote critical thinking and problem solving. The remediation program also allows for post-remediation evaluation using CASLPO's Clinical Reasoning Tool. This presentation will help participants understand the complexities of and specific requirements for effectively helping practicing clinicians improve their clinical reasoning when providing service.

Children with speech sound disorders present with deficits in speech sound production as well as difficulties with phonological awareness, speech perception and language. This session will review the benefits and evidence of inclusion of these elements in speech production intervention. A variety of service delivery models exist for preschoolers and school-age children with speech sound disorders, but it may be difficult to determine how much therapy is most beneficial. This session will provide data regarding treatment dosage and frequency for this population. It will also demonstrate application to clinical practice through three service delivery models and encourage audience participation.
Discuss additional phonological processing, language and literacy weaknesses often seen in children with speech sound disorders.
Describe the combination of dose and frequency associated with greatest gains in children's speech abilities.
Describe three models of service delivery for preschoolers and school-age children with speech sound disorders.

Receptive and Expressive Language in Early French Immersion
Authors: Ann Sutton, Ph.D., Université d'Ottawa, Ottawa, ON; Frédéric Downing-Doucet, SLP student, University of Ottawa; Émilie Drouin, SLP student, University of Ottawa; Magali Gauthier-Gagnon, SLP student, University of Ottawa; Julie Rodrigue, SLP student, University of Ottawa; Fardous Sahouli, SLP student, University of Ottawa; Myriam Talbot, SLP student, University of Ottawa; Christina Charles, research assistant, University of Ottawa; Genessee, F., Kay-Raining Bird, E., Chen, X. University researchers, PhD, Oracheski, J., Pagan, S.; School Board team, PhD.
This study explored receptive and expressive language in children with and without speech or language impairments in early French immersion (EFI). Participants were 21 grade 4 English-speaking children (11 with and 10 without speech or language impairments), in EFI since kindergarten. On standardized tests of receptive vocabulary, sentence comprehension, sentence production and a story-telling task, scores were higher in English than French and the response pattern differed across languages. There were no significant differences between children with and without impairments, suggesting no negative impact of EFI. Further studies should explore more fully differences related to impairment type and severity.

"Oh the places you'll go!" – Dr. Seuss
Have you ever thought about branching out in your practice? Are there positions that interest you but you are not sure if you are a good fit? Is the landscape in your area changing and you wonder how it will impact your service? How do S-LPs evolve?
In this session, we will explore the career paths of speech-language pathologists who have taken on differing roles in their careers: that of SAC mentee, SAC mentor, private practitioner, manager and administrator. Each panel member will provide insight into their career path choices as well as the supports and experiences that led them to their current roles. Panel members will also discuss how S-LPs can leverage their unique skill sets to assume a variety of roles.

Discourse Analyses in the Assessment of Monolingual and Bilingual Children
Authors: Patricia Cleave, PhD, S-LP(C), Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS; Bonita Squire, MSc, S-LP(C), Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS; Vincent Bourassa Bédard, MSc, Université de Montréal, Montreal, QC; Stefano Rezzonico, PhD, Université de Montréal, Monteal, QC; Elizabeth Kay-Raining Bird, PhD, S-LP(C), Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS.
Diagnosing a language disorder in monolingual children is challenging, but it is especially difficult in bilingual children. Discourse measures are recommended as a more appropriate way to evaluate the language skills of bilingual children, as they are more naturalistic and less likely to be biased. An ongoing project is developing a Canadian database of discourse skills in monolingual and bilingual children aged 7-12. This mini-seminar will discuss issues involved in collecting discourse data and their implications for clinical assessment, introduce the database that will result from our project, and discuss the use of databases in clinical practice.

Research-School Collaboration to Support Adolescents With Developmental Language Disorder
Adolescents with a developmental language disorder (AwDLD) face learning and integration challenges in various contexts, including school. Meanwhile, teachers feel insufficiently trained to support AwDLD. This research-school collaboration addresses this gap by designing and implementing a teacher-led and S-LP-supported school intervention to improve communication and social abilities of AwDLD. The interactive seminar will outline the 16 in-class activities as well as the steps of the project, from the logic model to the implementation of the intervention. These will be embedded in the general principles of integrated knowledge transfer that served as a framework for the project.

Research for Practice: Embracing the Power of Partnership
Research-practice partnerships have been proposed to facilitate incorporating research evidence into clinical practice. Members of PRECISe Western, a group of researchers who conduct practice-based research in speech-language pathology, will lead this seminar. Through case discussion, we will describe the various paths by which partnerships are formed, the potential roles that speech-language pathologists may fill within these partnerships and the varied clinical problems that a practice-based research approach can address. By attending this mini-seminar, speech-language pathologists will develop an awareness of research-practice partnerships, and the ways in which their clinical expertise can transform the research evidence within the profession.

The Canadian Journal of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology (CJSLPA) is an open-sourced, peer-reviewed, online journal of clinical practice for audiologists, speech-language pathologists and researchers. CJSLPA seeks to advance basic and applied science in social communication, hearing, balance and vestibular function, speech, language, and feeding/swallowing in all areas important to Canadian speech-language pathologists (S-LPs) and audiologists. Participation of practicing clinicians, as both consumers and contributors to research, is vital to the continuing success of the journal and advancement of the field.
In this inaugural "CJSLPA Day", CJSLPA will highlight the importance of collaborative researcher-S-LP partnerships in the delivery of relevant and high-quality, clinical research. Six CJSLPA content editors will emphasize key areas of research priority in their respective domains and describe the important role clinicians can play in the research and publication process. Presentations will be in both English and French, which reflects the important role the Journal plays in each of the languages of the Association.

The Speech-Language Pathologist's (S-LP) Role in Medical Assistance in Dying
Authors: Caitlin Buchel, RSLP, M.Cl.Sc, SLP (C), Buchel Speech and Language Group and Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, Winnipeg, MB; Samantha Jansen, Hamilton Health Sciences Centre; Alexandra Carling, College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Ontario; Brenda Rust, Self-employed.
In 2016, Canadian legalization established medical assistance in dying (MAiD) as a right and set legal requirements for patient consent and participation. For patients living with communication disorders, access to this right and the ability to consent can be compromised. At the same time, despite the role of S-LPs in supportive communication, there continues to be almost no research or practice guidance around S-LP participation in MAiD, resulting in limited awareness of the benefits of an S-LP's contributions to MAiD. This presentation addresses these gaps by highlighting the role of S-LPs in MAiD.

Early Intervention Changes Developmental Trajectories for Young Children With Suspected ASD
Speech-language pathologists are in a unique position to identify young children (between 12 and 24 months of age) with at-risk signs of social communication delays/difficulties. When evidence-based intervention is provided in natural environments using developmental principles, families can effect significant changes. This session will describe early at-risk signs for children (under 16 months of age) with suspected ASD and will showcase the improvements of three families who were provided with early intervention. The presenter will share resources for early identification and intervention materials.
Identify the early at-risk signs for children with suspected ASD.
Demonstrate an increased awareness of the importance of evidence-based intervention provided in natural environments.
Understand the value of early parent-based coaching as a means to change developmental trajectories for young children with signs of ASD.

Supporting People With Communication Disabilities to Exercise Legal Capacity
Author: Barbara Collier, Reg. CASLPO., F. ISAAC, Communication Disabilities Access Canada, Toronto, ON.
This presentation focuses on Canada's implementation of Article 12 in the CRPD, which states that people with disabilities have the right to enjoy legal capacity and obligates countries that have ratified the agreement to provide people with the supports they may require in exercising their legal capacity. The presentation will describe a national project on communication and legal capacity, the role that speech-language pathologists may play in providing communication supports and, if required, supports to assist trusted people in helping individuals to make decisions in critical contexts such as health care, legal and financial services.

Eng., Toronto Rehabilitation Institute - University Health Network, Toronto, ON.
Clinicians who perform videofluoroscopic swallowing studies need to be able to identify features of swallowing physiology that are abnormal, and which lead to impaired swallowing safety (penetration-aspiration) and/or impaired swallowing efficiency (residue). In this presentation, we will share new reference information about healthy swallowing physiology based on research conducted in the Steele Swallowing Lab. We will then use interactive case studies to enable clinicians to identify abnormalities during videofluoroscopy rating. We will emphasize issues of standardization in videofluoroscopy protocol, stimuli and analysis that facilitate confident identification of the mechanisms behind swallowing impairment.

Cet atelier portera sur l'apprentissage de la langue minoritaire au Canada hors Québec. Comment apprendre une langue minoritaire quand l'exposition à cette dernière est si réduite ? Qu'en est-il des enfants qui ont un trouble développemental du langage (TDL) ? Dans certaines régions de l'Ontario, jusqu'à 85 % des élèves inscrits dans les écoles de langue française sont anglodominants. De plus, environ deux élèves par salle de classe ont un TDL. Pouvons-nous différencier les enfants qui sont à risque d'avoir un TDL de ceux qui apprennent difficilement la langue en raison d'un manque d'exposition ? Lors de cet atelier, des données régionales sur le TDL et le bilinguisme ainsi que les meilleures pratiques pour l'intervention auprès des enfants bilingues seront présentées, incluant le translangage. De plus, les outils servant à mieux repérer les enfants bilingues en contexte minoritaire qui apprennent le français dans les écoles de langue française seront décrits. Les participants peuvent apporter leur ordinateur ou leur appareil mobile afin de participer à certaines activités en ligne pendant l'atelier.

This presentation is situated in the context of an evidence-based overview of recent theories and applied approaches to understanding and managing acquired language disorders in a variety of healthcare settings. This presentation will critically review newly developed: (a) assessment procedures for quantifying and qualifying linguistic symptoms and concomitant extra-linguistic disorders in adults with aphasia or other acquired language disorders, and (b) treatment procedures for remediating or compensating for these linguistic and related impairments.
Identify recently developed standardized tests and informal procedures for assessing linguistic and related, extra-linguistic concomitant symptoms
Describe recently developed direct and indirect therapy procedures for remediating or compensating for linguistic and related symptoms
This intermediate session will commence with a review of the neural pathways involved in sucking and feeding. Following this, we will discuss normal (or typical) sucking and feeding development in the first year of life, and illustrate the current tools used to assess these skills. We will also highlight sucking and feeding outcomes from special populations, like children born preterm, with Down syndrome or with cleft lip with or without cleft palate. This session will include an in-depth discussion of therapies used to help infants with sucking and feeding delays with a particular focus on sensory stimulation paradigms. Finally, the session will present the relation between sucking and feeding and subsequent neurodevelopment. Research outcomes and clinical applications will be interwoven throughout the session.
Describe normal and abnormal suck patterning.
Understand why various populations are at-risk for sucking and feeding delays.
Evaluate sucking and feeding therapies and determine their usefulness in clinical practice.

Stuttering Support Strategies
This presentation will review the etiology of developmental stuttering and discuss how stuttering varies under different speaking situations. Attendees will be able to describe behaviours of stuttering to aid in identification and the factors that impact the probability to stutter. Attendees will also learn evidence-based therapy approaches for children, teens and adults and concrete strategies on how to support clients and their families. Finally, attendees will practice fluency shaping strategies, judging stuttering severity, providing effective feedback, praising fluent speech and sequencing practice tasks for clients to facilitate success. This presentation is geared towards communication health assistants but S-LPs are also welcome.
Describe behaviours of stuttering to assist in identification.
Describe factors that impact the probability to stutter.
Understand evidence-based therapy approaches for children, teens and adults, as well as concrete strategies for supporting clients and their families.

Malnutrition, dehydration and poor oral health are common diagnoses in long term care settings and have been shown to be associated with dysphagia. It is important for clinicians to be able to recognize these risk factors and work with the interprofessional team in order to manage residents in a comprehensive manner. In this session, clinicians will learn about the risks of dysphagia for residents of long-term care and review the most up-to-date research on the management of dysphagia in older adults.

Readiness Support: Promoting Attendance and Engagement in Children's Services
Authors: Michelle Phoenix, PhD, Reg. CASLPO. Assistant Professor, McMaster University and CanChild, Hamilton, ON; Gillian King, PhD, Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, University of Toronto; Sue Gibson, Client Service Manager, KidsAbility; Sue Simpson, CEO, Waterloo Region Family Network; Gabrielle Shiry.
Missed appointments are a common problem in children's rehabilitation that may lead to client discharge and limit child outcomes. In this case study, we created, implemented and evaluated the Readiness Support Program (RSP) to help families attend appointments and engage in services. This program includes a clinical care-path implemented by professionals (e.g., speech-language pathologists, social workers). We developed clinical scripts and centre policies to help identify barriers to service use and devise solutions with families. We used statistics, health records, interviews and a measurement tool to evaluate the implementation of RSP, barriers to service use and the outcome of RSP and to recommend changes.

Cultural Competence: Providing Inclusive Services to the LGBTQ+ Population
Authors: Vincent Bourassa Bédard, MPO, PhD Candidate, Université de Montréal, Montréal, QC; Geneviève Meloni, MSc, PhD Candidate, Université de Montréal, Montréal, QC; Emma St-Laurent-Roberge, MPO, Commission scolaire Marie-Victorin, Longueil, QC.
Speech-Language & Audiology Canada's Code of Ethics (SAC, 2016) states that its members should demonstrate acceptance toward their patients regardless of their sexual orientation and gender. However, recent studies in speech-language pathology show that most clinicians are not knowledgeable enough about LGBTQ+ issues. This issue leads to inequities in service access, meaning that LGBTQ+ communities do not always seek needed care because of past negative experiences or fear of homophobic/transphobic comments. This workshop is specifically designed for all S-LPs and will use case studies to help clinicians feel better equipped to provide inclusive services for all clients.

Relationships Between Pediatric Feeding-Swallowing and Speech-Language: Theory, Recent Data and Clinical Implications
The language used in the descriptions reflects the language of the sessions.
Although often viewed as separate clinical identities, recent theoretical and clinical research data suggest potentially important associations between pediatric feeding-swallowing difficulties and developmental language disorder. This growing body of knowledge reflects what has been known for some time by front-line practicing clinicians: that problems in feeding-swallowing and speech-language often co-occur in young patients. In this presentation, we will discuss developing theoretical and clinical research models that suggest close ties between feeding-swallowing and speech-language, particularly developmental language disorder. We will consider the possibility that earlier occurring feeding-swallowing difficulties might signal later language impairments. We will also consider whether targeting feeding-swallowing difficulties might have positive distributed effects on language development. Finally, we will discuss additional clinical implications, including how this information might influence professional practice policies.
Understand the developmental trajectory of feeding-swallowing and speech-language in the infant and young child.
Be able to explain the theoretical underpinnings of the potential cross-system interactions between feeding-swallowing and speech/developmental language disorders.
Receive an overview of recent experimental data demonstrating a high occurrence of feeding-swallowing difficulties in developmental language disordered children.
Consider clinical models that target pediatric feeding-swallowing difficulties and language disorders to capitalize on potential cross-system benefits.

Recent international efforts to achieve consensus in the use of the term developmental language disorder (DLD) to describe children with persistent trouble with language development for no discernable reason have the potential to positively impact practice in speech-language pathology. A first step is for S-LP students to know and understand the historical context, evolution, current considerations and clinical profile associated with DLD. In this presentation, faculty from graduate programs in speech-language pathology across Canada will provide a summary of content related to DLD included in their curriculum. Our aim will be to consider consistency and supports for national implementation.

Fred Edge left pre-med studies at University of Ottawa to join the Ottawa Citizen as cub reporter at age 17 in 1944, then joined the the Vancouver Province in 1946. He left in 1949 to work on several major eastern Canadian dailies and for British United Press. He freelanced more than 200 magazine articles in Toronto and from Europe as a Paris-based correspondent for New Liberty Magazine. Edge also wrote teleplays for CBC, NBC and ITV (U-K) and as the editor in Toronto/Hollywood for "Cannonball," as well as the writer for several other networked half-hour series. He contributes essays ("when something sufficiently fires me up!") to the Victoria Colonist Op-Ed page. He has also worked as a B.C. logger, a sectionman for the CNR and literally 'rode shotgun' on gold bullion shipments from northern Ontario to Ottawa. His primary literary influence is Jack London. He is widowed with three sons and one daughter.
The Iron Rose (1992) is Edge's biography of Charlotte Whitehead Ross, Quebec's and Manitoba's first female physician. At age 27, with three children, she left Montreal and went to Pennsylvania to the Woman's Medical College because no Canadian medical college would accept women as students. She eventually received her medical degree in 1875, practiced in Quebec, then moved west to practice in the railway town of Whitemouth, Manitoba. She did so without a license. She constantly risked prosecution because she refused to leave her husband, their eight children and her patients in order to spend time at a Canadian medical college to be sanctioned by the all-male admissions board of the Manitoba College of Physicians and Surgeons. In 1887 she appealed to the Manitoba Legislature to license her but her appeal was denied. She practiced until 1912, almost 25 years after her appeal for a license was rejected. She died in Winnipeg in 1916, at age 73. She was never prosecuted. In 1993, Manitoba Liberal leader Sharon Carstairs successfully proposed a resolution to grant Charlotte Ross a medical license posthumously. Fred Edge's five-province-wide research into the life of Charlotte Ross began after his wife Christina found a brief mention of the pioneering female doctor in a local history.

4 Lessons About Creativity We Can All Learn From 'OK Go'
Mon Jul 10 2017
By: Mike P
Ted Talks are a great source of inspiration for the forward-thinking individual. With speakers ranging from ex-presidents to world-renown comedians, Ted's content always feels fresh and insightful. In May the company welcomed American rock band, OK Go, to take the stage and discuss the thought process behind the band's number of unique and entrancing music videos. The talk, How To Find a Wonderful Idea, uncovered some of the technical aspects buried beneath the band's videography, but the gist of the conversation centered around how to spark creativity when looking for your next great idea. It's an issue we're no strangers to here at Magnatag, and we'd venture to guess the same could be said for your business too. Here are some of the bands takeaways:
Be Receptive and Observant
Inspiration can come from virtually anywhere! Perhaps it's the posters in your bedroom, or maybe it's the architecture of your office building. The problem with inspiration for the band's lead singer, Damian Kulash, is that inspiration isn't necessarily something that's apparent at first glance—it's more of a stumble-upon type of scenario if anything. If you take it upon yourself to absorb things as they happen in real life, ideas don't have to feel as though they have been created out of thin air. Rather than treating ideas as unique concepts, Kulash suggests ideas can be built upon pre-exisiting concepts as if "they are a set of relationships you have unlocked".
Search For Wonder and Surprise
Kulash directly relates this point to the band's collection of music videos and their unique perspectives on music as it relates to videography. He mentions that every idea the band chases has to hold a degree of both wonder and surprise, and here's why: Wonder piques the interest of the audience, presenting the idea as something that feels new—and the same can be said for surprise too. An idea that one would describe as filed with both wonder and surprise could also be classified as unique, but rather than chase after uniqueness in our ideas, we should think about our ideas as wonderful or surprising, as uniqueness is something that's difficult to achieve and quantify on its own.
Avoid The Think, Plan, Execute Process For Idea & Project Development
We'll start with this typical workflow structure: You start with brainstorming ideas and quickly plan how they'll fit into the big picture. Once all is said and done, the final step of the process is to execute those plans to perfection, and that's where the problems set in. When you're using a similar project structure like the one outlined above, you want to ensure every moving part in your process will go off without a hitch. The problem is that in creating an essentially bulletproof project, you're actually limiting the scope of the project itself by using ideas that are proven to be reliable 100% of the time. If the only ideas you are able to use in your project have been proven time and time again, the less likely you will be able to capture something that can truly stand out on its own. In order to avoid retracing and rebooting old ideas, the band suggests abandoning the traditional project management structure we're so accustomed to.
Don't Be Afraid of Playful Experimentation
A large benefit of abandoning the routine project management structure is that doing so gives creators more time for experimentation, but not in the traditional sense. When the word "experimentation" is typically thrown around in a boardroom in regards to project management, many of us will look to a collection of potential ideas that will be competitively put to the test, and while it may be an effective way for teams to the most reliable idea in a group, it fails to encourage the discovery of new ideas and methods. In many business circles, mindless and unsupervised experimentation is considered to be a waste of resources since nothing is guaranteed, but it's because of this unknown element of discovery that makes the discovery of new ideas all the more special. Kulash notes how for one particular music video which features the band performing in an anti-gravity plane, over a third of the video's budget was spent on a week's worth of time playing within the plane itself. For those looking to take their ideas to the next level, more time and resources should be spent nurturing and discovering the creation of out-of-the-box ideas.
How do you find inspiration for new ideas? We think whiteboarding is a great place to start!

Q: Is it kosher to accept your own answer, if your answer expands significantly on another answer? I asked the question Programmatically swap last two commits. The question got a good answer that gave me the idea I needed to implement my own solution, but that answer is both technically incorrect and not complete (in the sense that I wanted). Nevertheless, I upvoted it and accepted it.
Wanting a solid solution that would work correctly and be resilient to errors, I hacked on it a bit and came up with a suitable script, which I posted as this answer.
Now, my answer technically solves my question, because it works for me (and the poster's doesn't quite). Is it OK to accept my own answer, when the time comes? Or should I just leave it as-is?

A: The real underlying question here (at least from my perspective) is:

Did the answer you accepted play a substantial enough part in solving your problem?

Enough to merit leaving it as the accepted answer? I see this as a completely subjective question, but, if I found myself in the same situation and my solution eclipsed the answer, I'd accept my own - Localised or not.
At the same time, I'd upvote, reference the answer and perhaps refer to it as an assist if it pointed me (and potentially other visitors) in the right direction.
Answers to problems often come from following a breadcrumb trail through several concepts and/or numerous questions and answers. The more pointers people have the better!

A: I can't comment on the specific question and answer, since I'm not familiar with the topic. However, I don't think you should un-accept the answer that gave you the means to solve your problem. A good answer doesn't have to completely solve your problem, and doesn't have to contain all the smallest details. I don't think it's fair to take the 15 rep from the user who solved your problem.
As a disclaimer, I must admit that a similar case happened to me recently with this answer. The OP accepted my answer (which explained what needed to be done, without writing the code for him), and then wrote an answer with code based on my answer and accepted his answer. I object to that practice.

BBC iPlayer tops 114 million requests in July
Top Gear remains the most requested programme on iPlayer
The number of requests was significantly higher than in July 2009, with 68 million requests for TV programmes and 27 million for radio broadcasts. Requests on Virgin Media were up to 19 million.
On-demand makes up the vast majority of TV programme requests (with only 10% of requests in July for live TV simulcasts). However, about 68% of requests for radio streams were for live programmes, as opposed to on-demand catch-up listening.
The most requested TV show for July was Top Gear, with certain episodes hitting more than one million requests each. New BBC One drama titles also performed well, as did comedy and the start of the BBC Three Adult Season.
Live TV viewing via the iPlayer fell back to more normal levels after the World Cup finished.

Hawaii COVID-19 Updates For Tuesday, Sept. 15th: State Reaches 100 Deaths
HAWAIʻI - Although the State of Hawaiʻi reached the tragic milestone of 100 deaths with COVID-19 since the pandemic began, it did tally a low number of new cases today with 66.
(BIVN) – There were 66 newly reported cases of COVID-19 in the State of Hawaiʻi as of noon today, with only six (6) new cases identified on Hawaiʻi island.
Hawaiʻi today officially reached 100 deaths with COVID-19 since the pandemic began. From the Hawaiʻi Department of Health:
DOH is reporting 66 new cases today and one (1) death. An O'ahu man, with underlying health conditions who had been hospitalized, becomes the 100th person to die from coronavirus-associated illness since the pandemic began in late February. He was in the 60 to 69-year-old age group.
According to the official data from the Hawaiʻi health department, the number of active cases on Hawaiʻi island has dropped to 234. The State continues to count only three (3) COVID-related deaths on Hawaiʻi island, although the County of Hawaiʻi and Hilo Medical Center are reporting the number of COVID-related deaths as fifteen (15). That means the number of known active cases is probably lower than the what the State numbers indicate.
This story will be updated.

The Last Straw?
What's the real environmental impact of a plastic straw compared to the 80 million people we add to our population every year?
July 30, 2018 - by Terry Spahr
Photo: Maurizio Costanzo (CC BY 2.0)
There's been a lot of press recently about Starbucks, Hyatt Hotels, McDonalds and other companies replacing plastic straws with more eco-friendly alternatives or eliminating them altogether. It's true that Americans use a lot of plastic straws — somewhere between 200-250 million a day, based on comments by the president of the Foodservice Packaging Institute, a trade organization; extrapolations from BBC Reality Check in conjunction with McDonald's; and figures provided by the National Restaurant Association.
But do straw bans really add up? Drawing upon data provided by Thomas Corporation, a data company for industrial manufacturers, and a number of other sources, let's take a look at some of the things that the average American consumes in addition to those plastic straws that are currently grabbing the lion's share of attention from the national media and environmental groups.
Over the course of a projected 79-year lifetime, the average American currently uses:
23,700 plastic and glass bottles and 27,650 aluminum cans (not to mention disposable Starbucks cups);
Paper products that equate to 474 full-grown trees (that's six trees a year);
5,600 articles of clothing;
9 automobiles, with each vehicle owned an average of 7 to 8 years;
5 ranges or ovens, 7 washing machines, 6 dryers, 5 refrigerators and 8 microwaves (some appliances may be shared as a family during one's lifetime);
5 air conditioners;
10 televisions;
4,000-plus disposable diapers;
And, yes, by my calculations, 24 pounds of plastic straws, each weighing just one sixty-seventh of an ounce.
As this partial list clearly shows, straws are just one small piece in the much larger mountain of our collective consumption. This feel-good movement of giving up straws is an easy and convenient "sacrifice" and greenwashes the reality of our environmental emergencies. It does nothing to address all of these products we consume, nor the resources such as fossil fuels and water that are used to extract, manufacture and deliver these goods and services.
The real question is, are Americans, other developed-world citizens and those aspiring to move into this category really ready and willing to sacrifice the stuff that causes truly profound impacts on the environment?
The honest answer, sadly, appears to be no.
And that's a problem that we need to address as a society. All these goods carry with them an enormous ecological price tag of disruption, pollution, death and destruction to natural habitats like forests, soils, fresh water, oceans and the air. The impact is multiplied by the weight of our collective humanity — almost 8 billion people, with 80 million more being added to the earth every year — which, coupled with our consumption, is becoming too great for our planet to bear.
In fact, Earth Overshoot Day falls on Aug. 1 this year, marking the day that our global consumption exceeds the capacity of nature to regenerate. To maintain our current demand for resources, we would need 1.7 Earths, according to Global Footprint Network, an international nonprofit whose mission is to help end ecological overshoot. The Aug. 1 date projected for this year is earlier than any time in the dozen years the calculation has been made — and a warning about the heightened challenge from our escalating consumption exacerbated by our exploding global population.
Study after study shows that reducing our footprint on Mother Earth through curtailment of consumption will not work unless we fight the rising tide of humanity.
If we truly want a sustainable future, the answer isn't straws. It's acknowledging the elephant in the room, having an honest conversation about our human numbers, and compassionately and forthrightly working toward a better, safer and less crowded world.

A Daily Diary: New Ventures!
I made another dumpster dive for a desk/drawer set I'd been staring at on the curb all week. I kept telling myself no, but finally caved and decided it'd make a decent nightstand for my bedroom..once I can be sure the bugs/spiders are gone..and no one is here to embarassingly, and sheepishly on my part, watch me drag in yet another useful piece of furniture from the cold...especially one April already turned down. Because she thought it looked too much like cheap/banged up ikea junk.
I've since covered the marked-up top with some like 'over a decade' old fruit sticky paper and adjusted the poorly-standing drawers to look decent. So it's already more improved than the first time she saw it.
Watching Stranger Things over again because I'm excited for season four.
Still in a lingering writing mood, still haven't got a full plot idea to start with.
Also, yesterday got two new DMK characters. The wicked stepmother and the red queen. I know. I know. Not smart just dumping more money into that thing. >.> At least I'm stocked up on groceries for this week...God willing. We'll see.

After persistent rain showers washed out all practice Friday, NASCAR made the decision to forgo Saturday's qualifying and replace it with a 50-minute practice session.
Initially, there were two practice sessions scheduled Friday at Homestead-Miami Speedway for the Cup Series teams, but they ended up with no time on track due to inclement weather.
NASCAR has since made the unique decision to cancel qualifying, which was scheduled for Saturday afternoon, and replace it with a 50-minute practice session.
The starting lineup will be set by owner points with the four title contenders lining up 1-2-3-4 on the grid. Per the rule book. Denny Hamlin will have pole position ahead of Kevin Harvick, Martin Truex Jr. and Kyle Busch. With all four drivers tied in the standings due to the points reset, the order is based off their best finish from the semifinal round of the playoffs.
Joey Logano, Kyle Larson, Ryan Blaney, Brad Keselowski, William Byron and Clint Bowyer will round out the top-ten.

Memphis and Vanderbilt, committed to separate conferences, decided to dedicate this friendly weekend to prepare for what lies ahead. The weekend worked out wonderfully in that regard and the Tigers clearly could see the good, the bad and the ugly of our current status. We decided on open subs and three 30 minute periods. We would use the period breaks for coaching opportunities, and would mix players to see them in different situations.
I knew we would be rusty, expecting handling errors, but was surprised to see tactical errors as well through the match. The holiday time off had certainly had degraded our skills.
Another positive for the Tigers is the fitness of the first 22 players. It is obvious that many took the opportunity to improve their post season fitness and this gives us a base with which to work.
Vandy outscored the Tigers in the end, but we knew this was a possibility, since we worked so many new players into the match. Best v best would have worked out differently.
Phil Elliott our top scorer for last season led the day with 10 points, scoring tries in the first and third period and dropping a conversion. Josiah Shipley took a try in first period. Rookie Mark scored in the second period and Kasra Koleini completed the conversion while Phil was on break.
Three cheers to coaches Swat and Mimms who effectively managed the day while Coach Cole was convalescing.
Kennesaw State travels to Memorial field this Saturday for a 1:00 pm kickoff. Come out and watch the fireworks. Should be lively.

McDonald's worker, 26, blackmailed and preyed on 2,000 victims after posing as stock broker on sugar daddy sites
A SADISTIC McDonald's worker who blackmailed and preyed on 2,000 victims has been jailed for 32 years.
Abdul Elahi, 26, from Birmingham, posed as a rich stockbroker on sugar daddy websites before blackmailing his victims into performing degrading sexual acts.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) said investigators were left stunned by the "industrial-scale" of Elahi's worldwide offending which "wrecked lives and families".
In court, Elahi was described as being "in a league of his own" in terms of the sheer scale of his offending, often "juggling" tens of potential victims while posing as a wealthy stockbroker offering financial help.
Some women and young girls were blackmailed into abusing a baby or a sibling by Elahi, who had offered to pay off debts with Bitcoin.
Elahi, whose youngest victim was just nine months old, also "acted as a mentor" to other online abusers, the court heard.
As well as posing as a finance worker, Elahi pretended to be a doctor, typically offering to pay large sums of money for intimate images, which he then used to coerce victims into filming increasingly degrading sexual acts.
In one series of offences, a teenager was told her parents would be killed if she did not comply with his orders.

The evil pervert sold footage featuring his victims to paedophiles around the world in packaged box sets.
Elahi would then launder the money he made through Amazon gift cards and buy electrical goods to sell on for cash.
Passing sentence on Elahi, Judge Sarah Buckingham said he had caused such distress while bullying and threatening women and girls that some had considered taking their own lives.
The judge told Elahi:"Your distribution of indecent images was on a vast scale, which allowed you to make money.
"You inhabited a raft of 'sugar daddy' websites targeting financially desperate women.
"You plainly derived pleasure from the agony you caused — with complete disregard for your victims' suffering.
"There was a sadistic element to your offending, demonstrated through the blackmail and the relentless targeting of children and young adults."
You plainly derived pleasure from the agony you caused — with complete disregard for your victims' suffering
One victim — a schoolgirl at the time of the offences — said she tried to take a paracetamol overdose after learning Elahi had uploaded her images to Twitter.
She said: "I would say for two years this person has ruined my life, I was heartbroken. I remember my 16th birthday, I spent the night crying, I was severely depressed.
"I am trying to move on but I find it very hard, I feel that this will be with me for the rest of my life."
Another teenage victim said: "Knowing that this cancerous polyp of a human being has been caught gives me great relief.
"To know his vile reign of terror is over gives me relief."
'WRECKED LIVES AND FAMILIES'
Tony Cook, NCA Head of CSA operations, said: "Abdul Elahi is a depraved sadist who got sexual gratification through power and control over his victims whom he often goaded to the point of wanting to kill themselves.
"He has wrecked lives and families."
Sophie Mortimer, of the Revenge Porn Helpline, said: "This is a long-awaited day for Elahi's very many victims.
"The Revenge Porn Helpline has been working for two and half years and has removed 135,000 individual images on behalf of those affected, equalling a 90 per cent takedown rate.
"We hope that every person affected by this feels some small sense of closure today, we know that their priority is the removal of this content.
"We will continue to work in the weeks and months ahead to report this content and we would encourage anyone with any concerns about their own images to get in touch with us and we will do everything we can to offer advice and support."
Co-defendant Kirsty Nicholls, 36, of Northolt, Middlesex, was jailed for six years and nine months for helping Elahi to make indecent images.
Nicholls, who met Elahi on a so-called sugar daddy website, was also arrested after a lengthy investigation by the National Crime Agency.

Two years ago, France's highest court denied citizenship to a Muslim woman on the grounds that she had not assimilated into French society. I agreed to defend her before the European Court of Human Rights. I could have emphasized religious freedom; I raised the argument, but there was an easier way to show that the court had gone astray.
French law gives two tests of assimilation: knowledge of the language and absence of a criminal record. My client spoke fluent French and had no criminal record. But reports of interviews by social workers said that she had showed up wearing a niqab. On that basis, the court concluded that she practiced a form of religion incompatible with equal rights of men and women.
I argued that to allow an official to judge a failure to assimilate without providing criteria was to invite arbitrary decisions. The Human Rights Convention prohibits governments from acting arbitrarily. The case is currently pending before the European Court.
In 2009, the French equivalent of the FBI reported that the practice of wearing a veil was "marginal." There appeared to be only 367 women in all of France who wore the niqab. A second police agency confirmed the initial report. Subsequent work increased the estimate to a maximum of 2,000 women.
With over 30 million women in France the phenomenon did indeed appear marginal. None of the reports said the women were a danger; no post office, bank or other institution complained that veiled women were a problem.


The NGO Shishu Niketan is been active in Bangladesh for over 12 years, were they offer support to children with a mental disability and who suffer from spastics paralysis. The project the NGO is working on currently is starting a "care farm" for young people with a physical and/or mental handicap. The goal of the care farm is to create a home for 6 boys who can no longer be supported at home. Besides this, the care farm will also be visited by children from a different, existing care home, day care and practical education. In total about 100 children will use the care farm. The goal of the farm is to become, for a part, self sustainable. The children that use the farm will be educated and supported in order to make sure that they can accomplish this goal themselves. The land around the farm will be used for growing crops and there will be kept several animals. The Marthe van Rijswijck foundation will finance the Orchids nursery and vegetable garden.

We present a model embodying moderate amounts of nominal rigidities which accounts for the observed inertia in inflation and persistence in output. The key features of our model are those that prevent a sharp rise in marginal costs after an expansionary shock to monetary policy. Of these features, the most important are staggered wage contracts of average duration three quarters, and variable capital utilization.
