In the Republic of Slovenia a person who has a university degree in law or who has completed legal studies under the first and second Bologna cycles may pursue numerous professions in the area of justice, including judge, prosecutor, state attorney, attorney and notary.
Pursuant to Article 135 of the Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia, state prosecutors (državni tožilci) file and present criminal charges and have other powers provided by law. Their powers and organisation are mostly laid down in the State Prosecutor's Office Act (Zakon o državnem tožilstvu) and the Criminal Procedure Act (Zakon o kazenskem postopku).
There are 11 district state prosecutor's offices (okrožno državno tožilstvo) in Slovenia (Celje, Koper, Kranj, Krško, Ljubljana, Maribor, Murska Sobota, Nova Gorica, Novo Mesto, Ptuj, Slovenj Gradec), a Specialised State Prosecutor's Office (Specializirano državno tožilstvo), organised on a country-wide basis, and a Supreme State Prosecutor's Office (Vrhovno državno tožilstvo Republike Slovenije) in Ljubljana.
The Specialised State Prosecutor's Office is responsible for prosecuting criminal activities in the areas of organised traditional and economic crime, terrorism, corruption and other criminal activities requiring detection and prosecution by specially organised and trained state prosecutors. The Department for the Investigation and Prosecution of Officials with Special Authorisations (Odelek za preiskovanje in pregon uradnih oseb s posebnimi pooblastili, known as the posebni oddelek or 'special investigation department') operates as an independent organisational unit within the Specialised State Prosecutor's Office. State prosecutors in this special investigation department are responsible for the prosecution of criminal offences committed by police officials, officials in internal affairs agencies with police powers, military police officials, officials of the Ministry of Defence's intelligence and security service and officials of the Slovenian Intelligence and Security Agency. They also provide guidance to police officers working for the Department.
The Supreme State Prosecutor's Office is the highest ranking prosecutor's office in the country, within which operate:
supreme state prosecutors (vrhovni državni tožilci) and higher state prosecutors (višji državni tožilci),
state prosecutors on temporary or part-time assignment.
Higher state prosecutors represent appeals in appeal proceedings before higher courts (višja sodišča) in Slovenia. In proceedings with extraordinary remedies in the field of criminal law and in the field of civil and administrative affairs, supreme state prosecutors appear before the Supreme Court of the Republic of Slovenia (Vrhovno sodišče Republike Slovenije).
The Supreme State Prosecutor's Office is organised into:
three departments (the criminal law department (kazenski oddelek), the civil and administrative affairs department (civilno-upravni oddelek) and the training and expert supervision department (oddelek za izobraževanje in strokovni nadzor)), and
the Expert Information Centre (Strokovno informacijski center), whose tasks include providing expert assistance in the area of taxation, financial, accounting and other disciplines required for the efficient performance of state prosecutors and ensuring the development, unity and operation of information support for the functioning of state prosecutors' offices.
Role and duties
The main role and duty of state prosecutors is the prosecution of criminal offences. Within this context they are responsible for:
taking all necessary steps for detecting criminal activities and tracking down offenders and for guiding the work of the police in pre-trial proceedings, in which the police are independent of the state prosecutor in organisational terms,
filing investigation requests,
filing and presenting charges in the relevant court, and
lodging appeals against non-final court judgments, and extraordinary remedies against final court decisions (appeals against first instance court decisions in criminal cases are presented by the state prosecutor who brought the charge in the first instance court, whereas extraordinary remedies are filed by supreme state prosecutors).
The applicable criminal legislation allows state prosecutors in certain circumstances to opt for alternative remedies to criminal prosecution for dealing with forms of criminal association. These include, firstly, transfer of the case to a settlement procedure and the conditional suspension of the criminal prosecution if the suspect is willing to behave as instructed by the prosecutor and to perform certain actions indicated by the prosecutor. If the settlement or the conditional suspension of the prosecution is successful, the state prosecutor may dismiss the criminal report, i.e. the case is settled out of court. The state prosecutor may also propose to the court the issue of a punishment order whereby the court sentences the accused party to a specific proposed penalty or measure without a hearing.
In addition, the Supreme State Prosecutor's Office performs tasks outside the substantive coverage of criminal law. In one of the three departments of the Supreme State Prosecutor's Office, the civil and administrative affairs department, supreme state prosecutors can file a request for the protection of legality (zahteva za varstvo zakonitosti) against appellate court (pritožbeno sodišče) decisions in litigious, non-contentious and other civil court proceedings. The prerequisite for filing this extraordinary judicial remedy is the protection of the public interest, which can be determined only by the Supreme State Prosecutor. The parties to the proceedings cannot therefore file requests for the protection of legality.
Professional judges and lay judges
The status of judge is governed by Articles 125 to 134 of the Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia and the Judicial Service Act (Zakon o sodniški službi). Judges are officials who are elected by the National Assembly (Državni zbor) on the basis of a proposal from the Judicial Council (Sodni svet). The office of judge is permanent, and the age limit and conditions for election are laid down by law.
In order to be elected as a judge, a person must meet the following general conditions:
he/she is a Slovenian citizen and has an active command of the Slovenian language,
he/she has legal capacity and is in good general health,
he/she is at least 30 years old,
he/she has obtained the professional title of a lawyer with a university degree obtained in Slovenia or the professional title of bachelor of law (UN) and master of law or has obtained an equivalent qualification in law abroad that is attested by a foreign qualification certificate with an attached opinion on the qualification or with a decision recognising the qualification for employment purposes or a certificate of nostrification (odločba o nostrifikaciji),
he/she has passed the State examination in law,
he/she has not been convicted of a criminal offence,
he/she is not the subject of a final indictment or, based on a charge, the subject of proceedings relating to a criminal offence prosecuted ex officio.
After the end of their term in office, judges who decided or ruled on investigatory or court proceedings in which a judgment infringed fundamental human rights and freedoms no longer meet the conditions for election as a judge.
Judges have the status of public officials and are bound by the Constitution and legislation in the performance of their duties. Judicial office is not compatible with office in other state bodies, local self-government bodies and bodies of political parties, and with other offices and activities as provided for by law. There is no formal educational specialisation among judges. The legal field in which a judge mainly works is defined in the internal organisation of the individual court which, in order to resolve individual types of dispute, has various legal departments to which judges are assigned in line with its annual work programme. The Judicial Council of the Republic of Slovenia decides on promotion to a higher judicial position and on promotion in grade. The Judicial Council also makes a proposal to the National Assembly for relieving a judge of his/her judicial office if, in the performance of his/her duties, he/she violates the Constitution or seriously violates the law or deliberately commits a criminal offence through the abuse of his/her judicial office. The promotion rates of judges in judicial office are set out in the organisation of courts in Slovenia. Judges can be: local judges (okrajni sodniki), district judges (okrožni sodniki), higher judges (višji sodniki) or supreme judges (vrhovni sodniki).
Judges are grouped together in the Slovenian Association of Judges, which is a member of the International Association of Judges. Membership of the association is voluntary.
Judicial panels can include both professional judges (poklicni sodniki) and lay judges (sodniki porotniki). When the law requires judgment by panel, the panel comprises a professional judge as chair of the panel and two lay judges as members of the panel, unless otherwise specified by law. When the law requires judgment by a five-member panel, the panel comprises a professional judge as chair of the panel, another professional judge, and three lay judges as members of the panel, unless otherwise specified by law. Any citizen of the Republic of Slovenia of at least 30 years of age, who has not been convicted by a final judgment of a criminal offence prosecuted ex officio, and who is of appropriate disposition and in general good health for judicial office and has an active knowledge of the Slovenian language. The term of office of lay judges is five years and they may be re-appointed. The presiding judge of a higher court appoints and dismisses the lay judges of the district courts that come under that higher court's jurisdiction.
The Judicial Council of the Republic of Slovenia
The Judicial Council of the Republic of Slovenia (Sodni svet RS) is the central body responsible for the regulation of the profession.
The Judicial Council comprises 11 members.
Five members are elected by the National Assembly, at the proposal of the President of the Republic of Slovenia, from a selection of university professors of law, attorneys and lawyers, and six members are elected from a selection put forward by judges working full-time in judicial office.

Article 137 of the Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia states that the attorneyship (odvetništvo) is an autonomous independent service within the justice system and is governed by law. The Attorneys' Act (Zakon o odvetništvu) states that, in the performance of their duties, attorneys provide legal advice, represent and defend parties before the courts and other state bodies, draw up documents and represent parties in their legal relations. Only an attorney may represent a party before a court against payment; in certain cases an articled clerk may take the attorney's place.
Anyone who meets the following conditions may be an attorney:
he/she is a Slovenian citizen,
he/she has operational capacity,
he/she has obtained the following professional title in the Republic of Slovenia or has obtained an equivalent qualification abroad, as recognised in accordance with the law on the recognition and evaluation of education:
the professional title of a lawyer with a university degree,
the professional titles of bachelor of law (UN) and master of law,
the professional title of master of law on the basis of a second Bologna cycle master's programme,
he/she has four years' work experience as a lawyer with a university degree in law, at least one year of which, after passing the state law examination, must be with a lawyer or law firm, a court, state prosecutor's office, state attorney's office or notary in a regular employment relationship concluded through a full-time employment contract.
he/she has an active command of the Slovenian language,
he/she can be trusted to practise as an attorney,
he/she has the necessary equipment and premises to practise as an attorney,
he/she has passed an examination to test knowledge of the law on attorneyship, the official tariff for attorneys' fees and the Code of Conduct for Attorneys at the Bar Association of Slovenia (Odvetniška zbornica Slovenije).
Only an attorney may act as counsel for the defendant in criminal proceedings.
In civil cases the party may be represented before a local court by any person that has full operational capacity, whereas only an attorney or another person who has passed a state examination for attorneys may be an authorised representative before a district court, a higher court or the Supreme Court. In proceedings with extraordinary remedies, however, representation by an attorney is obligatory (with the exception of cases where the party or their statutory representative has passed a state law examination).
Representation by an attorney is also obligatory in all proceedings before courts under the Mental Health Act (Zakon o duševnem zdravju).
A foreign attorney who has been granted the right to practise as an attorney in his or her country of origin may do the following in the Republic of Slovenia under the conditions laid down by the Attorneys' Act:
provide specific attorney services that relate to practising as an attorney,
practise as an attorney under the professional title of his or her country of origin,
practise as an attorney under the professional title of 'attorney' (odvetnik).
An attorney's country of origin is the country in which he or she is entitled to practise as an attorney under the professional title obtained under the regulations of that country.
Under this Act, an attorney from another country which is a Member State of the European Union is an attorney who is entitled to practise as an attorney in any of the Member States of the European Union under the professional title obtained under the regulations of that country. An attorney from another country which is a Member State of the European Union is entered in the directory of foreign attorneys who may practise as an attorney in the Republic of Slovenia under the professional title of 'attorney' with all the rights and duties applicable to a practising attorney if that person meets the statutory conditions and passes the examination to test knowledge of the national law of the Republic of Slovenia. More details of the examination and the procedure for taking it are laid down by the Decree on the examination for attorneys from other countries (Uredba o preizkusnem izpitu za odvetnike iz drugih držav).
Attorneys may advertise their services under certain conditions, as the Act sets out permitted forms of advertising. He or she may practise individually or in a law firm. The umbrella organisation for attorneys is the Bar Association of Slovenia (Odvetniška zbornica Slovenije), which has its own rules and statute. The right to practise as a lawyer is acquired by being entered in the directory of lawyers that is kept at the Bar Association of Slovenia. Attorneys who complete a particular level or specialisation of professional education may, under certain conditions, ask the Bar Association of Slovenia to recognise their status of specialised attorney. The payment for attorneys' services is laid down in the official tariff for attorneys' fees, which is adopted by the Bar Association of Slovenia, following approval by the Minister for Justice.
Basic regulations concerning attorneys are available in English from the website of the Bar Association.
The Bar Association operates a search engine (in Slovenian and English) that can be used to search for attorneys by:
region,
knowledge of foreign languages and
areas of work.
The second paragraph of Article 137 of the Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia states that notaries (notarji) perform a public service regulated by law. The Notaries Act (Zakon o notariatu) provides that: as persons enjoying public trust, draw up, under the provisions of that Act, public documents on legal transactions, declarations of will or facts that give rise to rights; take documents, money and securities into safekeeping for delivery to third parties or state bodies; at the behest of the courts, perform the tasks which may be delegated to them in accordance with the law.
To be appointed, a notary must meet the following conditions:
he/she must be a citizen of the Republic of Slovenia, another Member State of the European Union or the European Economic Area or a citizen of the Swiss Confederation or a Member State of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development,
he/she must have obtained the professional title of a lawyer with a university degree obtained in Slovenia or the professional title of bachelor of law (UN) and master of law or have obtained an equivalent qualification in law abroad that is attested by a foreign qualification certificate with an attached opinion on the qualification or with a decision recognising the qualification for employment purposes or a certificate of nostrification (odločba o nostrifikaciji),
he/she must have five years' work experience as a lawyer with a university degree in law, of which at least one year with a notary and one year with a court, attorney or state attorney,
he/she must be considered trustworthy for the performance of a notary's duties,
he/she must have the appropriate equipment and premises required for the performance of a notary's duties,
he/she must be less than 64 years old.
Notwithstanding point 1 of the previous paragraph, citizens of another country that is not a Member State of the European Union or the European Economic Area, the Swiss Confederation or a Member State of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development may also be appointed as notaries subject to legal and actual reciprocity.
A notary's duties are incompatible with those of an attorney or any paid office or function.
A notary is not authorised to perform tasks which are incompatible with the respectability and integrity required for the performance of a notary's duties or which may undermine confidence in the notary's impartiality or in the credibility of the documents he or she draws up.
A notary is appointed to a vacant post by the Minister responsible for justice. Before the appointment of a notary the Minister obtains the opinion of the Slovenian Chamber of Notaries (Notarska zbornica Slovenije) on the candidates put forward. The number of notaries is restricted and is determined on the basis of criteria set by the Ministry of Justice. In the event of any irregularity defined by law, the notary will be dismissed by the Minister for Justice. The Chamber of Notaries is the umbrella organisation for notaries.
Notaries are required by law to become members of the Slovenian Chamber of Notaries.
Notaries perform a public service mainly in preparing public and private documents, which is very important for the security of legal transactions.
Public documents generally issued by notaries are notarial records and notary's minutes. Whereas a notary can prepare any kind of written contract for the parties, there are certain types of contracts and statutes of public and private limited companies that are only valid under Slovenian law if they are issued as notarial records. A notary can also record a last will and testament. In addition, copied documents and signatures sometimes need to be authenticated by a notary to ensure their validity before a court of law. Documents and securities can be deposited with a notary.
The website of the Chamber of Notaries provides access to a list of all notaries in Slovenia with contact information and a basic search engine.
The three registries operated by the Chamber of Notaries can be accessed from its website:
Registry of Custodian Notaries (register skrbniških notarjev),
Registry of Contracts on the Establishing of Custodian Accounts (register skrbniških pogodb)
Central Registry of Wills (centralni register oporok).

State attorneys
The role of state attorney is set out in the new State Attorneys' Act, which entered into force on 20 November 2017 and comprehensively amended the institution of state attorney.
The State Attorney's Office performs professional tasks in the field of the protection of property and other rights and interests of the State through legal representation before courts and administrative bodies in the Republic of Slovenia, before foreign courts and arbitration panels, as well as before international courts and arbitration panels, and conducts legal advice, peaceful settlement of disputes in pre-litigation procedures and other tasks laid down by this or other laws.
The tasks of the State Attorney's Office are performed by the State Attorney-General and Deputy State Attorney-General as officials and by senior state attorneys, state attorneys and candidates for state attorney, who now have the status of civil servants. In order to prevent political appointments, the procedure for the selection of the State Attorney-General and senior state attorneys provides for an opinion by a committee of independent experts entrusted with assessing the suitability of candidates.
The State Attorney-General is appointed by the Government of the Republic of Slovenia on a reasoned proposal from the Minister of Justice after obtaining the opinion of the committee entrusted with assessing the suitability of candidates. The Deputy State Attorney-General is appointed by the Government of the Republic of Slovenia on a proposal from the State Attorney General, with the agreement of the Minister of Justice, and must be appointed from among the senior state attorneys. The term of office of both the State Attorney-General and his/her deputy is 6 years with the possibility of renewal. For the duties of a senior state attorney, state attorney or candidate for state attorney to be performed, an employment relationship must be entered into in which, in addition to the specific conditions laid down in the State Attorneys' Act, the conditions laid down by the law governing the civil service system must be met.
The state attorney is independent in exercising the duties of legal representation.

Q: $(document).on - Must click page once before it works with draggable? I'm using jQuery draggable UI and it works as intended. However I'm using an AJAX call to empty the container div and append new draggable div's.
Instead of using $('.draggableselector').draggable({});
I'm using $(document).on('click', '.draggableselector' function () { });
Bu the result of this is that I must click the document once before draggable works.
Is there a way I can re-add the listener at the same time as the .append(), so this extra click isn't needed?
//New
$(document).on('click', '.plrobj', function() {
    $( ".plrobj" ).draggable({

        stack: ".plrobj",
        distance: 0,
        revert: "invalid",
        opacity: 0.5,
        helper: "clone"
    });
});

//Original
$(function() {
    $( ".plrobj" ).draggable({

        stack: ".plrobj",
        distance: 0,
        revert: "invalid",
        opacity: 0.5,
        helper: "clone"
    });
});

$.post :
$( function() {
    $(".Selection").click(function(){
        var SelectedVar = $(this).attr('value');

        function Update() {
                var Formation = SelectedVar;
                $.post("PitchExternalProcessing.php", { data: $('Form').serialize()},
                        function (result) {
                        var returnedHTML = JSON.parse(result);
                        $(".mainbox > .childbox").empty();
                        $(".mainbox").append(returnedHTML[0]);
                        $(".siblingbox").empty();
                        $(".siblingbox").append(returnedHTML[1]);
                        }
                );
        }
        Update();
    });

NOTE:
I've removed a large chunk of the code including the droppable elements for simplicity but I tested it beforehand and it still had the same resulting action.

A: Try something like:
//Original
$(function() {
  function initDraggables($elements){
    $elements.draggable({

Google Fined $2.7B By EU; Not All Agree With Penalty
by Laurie Sullivan @lauriesullivan, June 27, 2017
Google has been fined a record $2.7 billion after European Union antitrust regulators ruled that the company had abused its authority by promoting its own shopping comparison service on its own Internet property at the top of search results.
The fine follows a seven-year investigation It is the largest imposed fine for a monopoly case in the EU, according to some reports.
If the decision is upheld by the EU, it would force Google to reshape the way it presents search results in Europe for its products and services.
Kevin Lee, executive chairman of Didit, believes the ruling could have major ramifications far beyond Google in the Europe.
"Based on this argument, Walmart.com and Amazon can't feature their in-house products, house brands, to shoppers," he said. "One could even carry the arguments offline."
Lee said Google should have a say on its own "real estate" and should have the option to favor their services if they choose.
"Perhaps if they had labeled shopping results a Google service more clearly, things would not have gotten this far," Lee said.
While Lee counters the ruling because of potential consequences to the online advertising industry, others celebrate the decision.
"We applaud the European Commission's leadership in confronting the discriminatory behavior of Google in the comparison shopping industry," News Corp stated Tuesday after the EU issued their decision. "Other regulators and companies have been intimidated by Google's overwhelming might, but the Commission has taken a strong stand and we hope that this is the first step in remedying Google's shameless abuse of its dominance in search."
News Corp went on to state that "Google has profited from commodifying content and enabling the proliferation of flawed and fake news, to the detriment of journalism and of an informed society."
News Corp, Oracle and Yelp sent a letter to the European Union prior to its decision stating that they are favor of "decisive action" to restore competition and bring true innovation and growth to the Internet.

Kenneth Hittel from Ken Hittel, June 27, 2017 at 3:27 p.m.
Indeed, "not all agree." I for one would rather have Google continue employing its own search engine marketing criteria -- hardly secretive at all, as anyone who has ever been in SEM knows well -- than suffer them to follow the uneducated diktats of EU (or for that matter, USA) bureaucrts. And, oh, the rich irony of Oracle and Yelp worrying about "bring(ing) true innovation" to the Internet, and News Corp -- owner of Fox News -- the mother-of-all Fake News outlets and the pot calling the kettle black.

KFC 'warned months ago' about DHL delivery problems
Many KFC outlets have had to close
KFC was warned months ago that it could face delivery problems by using DHL, according to a union.
Many UK outlets are expected to be closed for the rest of the week, or will be forced to reduce menus and opening hours, due to a lack of chicken.
The poultry shortage is due to a delivery problem after the company decided to start using DHL as its deliverer rather than Bidvest Logistics in order to save money, The Guardian reported.
The GMB Union's national officer Mick Rix claims he told the company months ago there could be issues with deliveries using DHL, as Burger King previously had a similar problem.
He said: "I wrote to KFC. I alluded to Burger King trying to cut costs and ending up with poorer quality service and poorer distribution.
"They had shortages, too, but not on the scale we're seeing now at KFC. Within six months they [Burger King] were pleading with Bidvest Logistics to take it back."
He also claimed his sources believe KFC management knew "three weeks ago" there would be a huge problem with DHL and were worried about "the set-up and the systems after testing."
Rix added that some answers from DHL were "completely strange and worrying" following the testing and it was obvious the new system "was going to fall flat on its face."
The national officer believes if KFC could go back to Bidvest "you could have a good operation up and running within a couple of weeks" as "DHL will not be able to provide the service they quoted for."
The move to DHL caused the loss of 255 Bidvest staff, a spokesperson for KFC has said: "We feel for those who lost their jobs at Bidvest; the decision to change supplier wasn't taken lightly. DHL have estimated that winning the KFC contract and opening the new distribution centre has created 300 new jobs."
It is not clear when the fast food chain will return to normal operations, but the current problems have caused much public outrage.
Some have even called the police as the force in Tower Hamlets tweeted: "Please do not contact us about the #KFCCrisis - it is not a police matter if your favourite eatery is not serving the menu that you desire."

Like I've been saying, we're currently dumping the "spent fuel" from burning fossil fuels straight into the atmosphere. It's killing a lot of people and warming the planet.
Except we can't trust this corrupt government to properly regulate the construction and operation of nuclear plants.
I agree that going Nuke has some core issues and that the previous government handling waste is one of them. I would point out that other governments, notably France have done a much better job. Perhaps outsourcing?
Our backs are up against the wall this time.
If we deploy enough nuclear reactors to make an appreciable dent in our energy consumption, the likelihood of CATASTROPHIC "accidents" will skyrocket. (When something is predictable with high certainty, can anyone call it an "accident").
The NY Times published an article recently pointing out with great skepticism how little using Nuke power would cut back on air pollution from oil; maybe 1 or 2%. It can only be used to make electricity, not put into cars and trucks. Most electric companies are no longer using oil anyway.
How about having the first one built in Washington D.C. If it is as safe as Bush says then there should be no problem with having one right next to the White House.
This present "crisis" has been known about for many years. When Carter was in the White House he spoke on this but no one listened to him. He was the only president who tried to do something about the problem and even put solar panels in the White House to encourage others to do the same. Instead of supporting this, the first thing Regan did when he became president was to remove the solar panels. Little to no money has been spent to investigate the use of solar, wind, thermal and other alternative means of power. If every house that was built from now on would have to have solar panels it would reduce the need for fossil fuels. If houses were better insulated it would further reduce the need for fossil fuel. In most european countries, much of the day to day traveling is done on bicycle and scooter. If we made it safer for this fuel efficient mode of travel, many would use them for the short trips instead of using their cars. Again, another decrease in the use of fuel. Windmills are being used to generate electricity but only on a limited basis because of a few complants of them "ruining the landscape". I would rather look at windmills then not be able to see anything because of the dirt in the air. There are alternatives to fossil fuel and we have the means to offer the alternatives that wiil allow a substantial reduction in the need for oil, coal and especially nuclear. So, why aren't we using them and why are we hearing so little about them?

Stanford Report: HR Has Made Progress in Influence, but How Much?
A recent report by Courtney Hamilton, David F. Larcker, Stephen A. Miles and Brian Tayan published in the Stanford Business School's "Closer Look" series attempts to answer the question:
"Where Does Human Resources Sit at the Strategy Table?"
Featured EEA Supporter:
A recent study of CEOs and Chief Human Resources Officers (CHROs) at 85 companies found that while HR management is making progress in terms of influence in corporate strategy and has many opportunities, much room for improvement remains.
According to the authors, "Two decades after McKinsey coined the term 'war for talent,' there is relatively little evidence that companies have made tangible progress developing and implementing strategies to compete for human talent," even though, they report, this remains a top CEO priority. While the authors found general agreement between CEOs and CHROs that human resources is regularly consulted on employee matters, there is major disagreement on the substance of that role in terms of specific impact on corporate strategy.
The Cascade Effect
"Only 18% rate their company a 5 on a scale of 1 to 5, when asked to what extent their HR department does an outstanding job contributing to the strategic success of the organization. Sixty percent rate the company a 4, and a sizeable minority assign their companies ratings of 3 (15%) and 2 (5%). These numbers suggest that while respondents might be highly favorable of the contribution that the CHRO makes to the organization and its strategic management, the contribution that this individual makes might not cascade down through the HR department as a whole," says the report.
On the positive side, the authors note, "96% of respondents 'strongly agree' or 'agree' that the human resources department is vitally important to the strategic success of their company. Combined, respondents believe that HR plays a lead role in actively managing company culture and values (4.6 on a scale of 1 to 5). They give a similar assessment (4.6) of the extent to which HR is highly attuned to employee sentiment, including workplace satisfaction and negative chatter. To a lesser degree, they believe that HR directly contributes to the financial performance of the company (4.0)."
On the other hand, "One issue where we found significant disagreement between the CEO and CHRO is over the role that the human resources department plays in senior-level discussions about company culture: 71% of CHROs claim that they lead the discussion on culture, whereas only 36% of CEOs believe that the CHRO leads the discussion."
Ability to Inspire Is Considered Critical
When asked what high-level leadership skills are most important to their organization's strategic success over the next five years, the answers were:
Ability to inspire and motivate: 80%
Drives for results: 79%
Ability to drive innovation and disruption: 68%
Change management: 62%
Digital literacy, the big hot topic in conferences and social media, came in at 42%.
Not surprisingly, 'recruitment and development' and 'talent' rank No. 1 and No. 3 respectively, as high-level functional skills considered most important for success.
The authors admit that their findings are somewhat optimistic about the role of HR in comparison with past reports. They write: "Studies have examined whether human resource departments have succeeded in this transition [to address the war on talent]. For the most part, the results are negative, suggesting that significant gaps remain between the potential and actual contribution of HR to corporate outcomes. For example, research by The Conference Board and McKinsey finds that 'business unit leaders view HR as lagging in strategic performance relative to transactional duties,' such as payroll, benefits, and recordkeeping. A 2016 study by Development Dimensions International finds that human resources leaders score below their peers on a variety of dimensions, including business savvy, financial acumen, and global acumen. KPMG finds that only a third (35%) of executives believe that HR excels in contributing to the company's people strategy; only 17% believe HR demonstrates the value it provides to the business; and only 15% see HR as able to provide insightful and predictive workforce analytics. A piece in Harvard Business Review claims that "CEOs worldwide…rank HR as only the eighth or ninth most important function in a company." This assessment is reflected in compensation figures. According to Equilar, Chief Human Resource Officers are paid significantly below their peers in the C-suite, earning, on average, a third less in total compensation than Chief Marketing Officers and General Counsel, and half the amounts paid to Chief Financial Officers."
The issue of HR's influence in strategic planning raises a number of questions, the authors conclude. "How in fact does the CEO, the senior management team, and the board of directors validate the quality and effectiveness of its human capital strategy? In a general sense, approving HR strategy is analogous to approving corporate strategy, including the establishment of overall objectives for the organization, identifying the steps necessary to achieving those objectives, establishing targets and metrics to track progress, and developing the supporting budget."
The Need for An Enterprise Approach
The authors assert that "The CEO and CHRO cannot drive HR strategy alone; each leader throughout the organization must be aligned and accountable for prioritizing and delivering against the HR strategy (as they would corporate strategy). To further reinforce the concept that human capital is central to the success of corporate strategy, specific targets should be included in compensation contracts and bonus targets. Furthermore, the board of directors plays an important role in assessing the acceptability of the human capital strategy. This includes not only advising senior management in HR strategy development but also challenging the CEO and CHRO to defend situations where their assessment differs from those of division heads and the broad base of employees. To facilitate the discussion, the board should request that management develop reliable metrics and demonstrate the success or potential areas to improve its efforts through data pulled from human resource management systems (HRMS). For HR strategy to succeed, it needs to be treated more like corporate strategy, as opposed to an addendum to the board book."

Nearly 200 people attended the Last Fire Call Friday morning, recognizing the efforts of firefighters, past, present and future.
Hosted by Len and Janet Parker, owners of Minden Air Corp., the ceremony at the Sierra Front Interagency Dispatch Center in Minden, featured a water drop.
Parker piloted the Lockheed P2V-7 Neptune plane Friday that made the 2,100 -gallon drop, along with co-pilot Tim Christy.
Walt Kesteloot of East Fork Fire and Paramedic Districts and Jim Richardson and Bob Autry of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office were the color guard. The Last Fire Call was held to commemorate the firefighters from Douglas County who lost their lives in the line of duty. Steve Wass, 42, of Gardnerville, crew Craig LaBare, 36, of Loomis, Calif., and Michael H. Davis, 59, of Bakersfield, Calif., died June 18, 2002 during the Cannon Fire in Walker, Calif.
Minden Air Corp. employees, pilot captain Carl Dolbeare, 54, of Chandler, Ariz., and co-pilot John Attardo, 51, of Fort Collins, Colo., were killed Oct. 3, 2002, when their P2V air tanker crashed in Southern California while they were assisting at a fire in Arizona.
The ceremony also honored Minden Air Corp. pilot Jim Reynolds, 54, who died February 22, 2004 of leukemia. His son Greg Reynolds, 30, of Portland, Ore. attended the Last Fire Call.
"I wanted to be here to say good-bye to my dad," he said.
The Wass family, including Steve's parents Chet and Janet Wass of Gardnerville, brother and sister-in-law Jeff and Jodi Wass, sister Terry and his nieces and nephews Shannon, 13, Jessika, 10, Jaden, 8, and Jakota, 11 months, attended the Last Fire Call.
Following the ceremony, many in attendance toured the 1950-era Neptune which is still used for fire fighting today.

Tagelection uncertainty FAQ
Who runs elections in the United States?
By Megan Feeney
In Federal
Election administration in the U.S. is largely decentralized. Administrators at the state and local level are responsible for running elections, from maintaining voter registration records to counting ballots. As a result, election laws and procedures vary widely among states and localities.
Each state has an agency that manages elections. Responsibilities of the state-level office often include training local elections officials, maintaining a voter registration database, and offering guidance on the testing of voting machines. Each state also has a head elections official. In 24 states, the chief elections official is an elected Secretary of State.
At the local level, county governments are most commonly responsible for election administration, rather than city or town governments. According to one estimate, more than 10,000 local entities administrate elections in the U.S. In many municipalities, elections are managed by a clerk, recorder, or registrar, who has other duties in addition to running elections.
On the national level, the Election Assistance Commission is responsible for maintaining a national voter registration form and offers guidance on elections administration to state agencies. Meanwhile, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) is responsible for enforcing federal campaign finance laws. Established in 1975, the FEC manages public funding of presidential campaigns, oversees limits on campaign contributions, and publishes information on how campaigns raise and spend money.

Ian, here, from A Newbie Crafter. Today, I have an end of the year/goodbye card for one of my RAs. I'll be posting one card a day on my blog to show all 13 cards. You may or may not know this, but I am an Area Coordinator (Residence Hall Director) at a small private college in New York. We are on a 3-year "contract", and this marks my 3rd year in the position. I am officially done June 30, but could potentially leave earlier, depending if I have a job yet. No bites yet, so time will tell.
Anyway, I wanted to give my RAs something as a going away gift. I made a card for each one of them and wrote a small note to each of them. I hope they all enjoy them. For the sake of surprise, some of my RAs know of my blog so I won't be posting this on there until Friday. I'm giving them their card on Thursday night.
Here's the first card in the installment. I discovered and fell in love with Your Next Stamp stamps. They have a plethora of cute images and I want them all. Seriously. Anyway, here are the pictures. I chose Ethan out on the Pond, for my RA Mathew. When I saw this image, I immediately pictured him in this same scenario and started giggling to myself. Mathew is a funny guy.
I will be honest, I did not write down any of the Copic markers that I used. This was my first time using them, and as you can tell, I need to take a class. Here's hoping I can take one this summer! I also used a sentiment from one of the Stamp of the Months and the Dotty for You paper pack, both from Close To My Heart.
Ian you are too hard on yourself. This is great. You have not gone 3d style but are going with flat style which is also awesome . Very cute card.
Very cute card. Good Luck in your job search. Your coloring is not bad. I would love to take a Copic coloring class myself. I'll have to search for one in my area.

Q: wp_loaded with static Singleton In my WordPress site, I created a Singleton inside a custom plugin I have, like this:
class VBWpdb {
    private $trace = array();

    public static function get_instance() {
        static $instance = null;
        if(null === $instance) {
            $instance = new static();
        }
        return $instance;
    }

    //...

So, I'm using VBWpdb::get_instance() in a lot of places of my code to populate $trace array (first var of the class). It works for the purpose of having a trace along my code and this static class is being the only instance during the plugin execution. I tested with arbitrary var_dump's...
The problem is... I want to print that trace once my page is loaded and I'm doing this:
add_action('wp_loaded', 'vb_dump_wpdb_trace');
function vb_dump_wpdb_trace() {
    VBWpdb::get_instance()->dump();
}

It seems that this instance is not being created again, but $trace is NULL.
Am I missing something related to object living span on WordPress layers?

A: You are just doing it wrong. The problem starts with using a singleton, just never do it.
You have a class of loggers which logs into some internal buffer. All loggers log into the same buffer, therefor the buffer (trace in your case) a static array in the class.
No more get_intance, just instantiate a new logger and log. This gives you the added flexibility of having several classes of loggers that "output" to the same buffer.
We are left with a question of how to inspect the log, and this you do with a static method.
I am sure this scheme can be improved by people that are more hard core OOP than me, using singleton is equivalent to using a namespace and code written under a namespace is easier to read and use than the singleton, just call a function directly with no need to handle the complications of getting an object first, it is easier to use a function in a hook, etc.

A: Your function get_instance will never create an instance of the class because of this line:
$instance = new static();

it should be:
$instance = new VBWpdb();


Ben Hayes, Director of Grasp Brands, exposes the tech industry's big and costly branding problem.
Last year VCs invested £65bn in startups. All-female teams received 2.2% of this and raised on average £3.8m. Male-led companies raised on average £9m. Add to this the finding from BCG and MassChallenge that female-founded startups have shown to perform better over time than male-founded ones and you really start to scratch your head.
It's time to look at branding. Namely how the tech industry views men and women differently and the impact this has on how we present ourselves, whether in an investment process or a hiring one. "I think the tech world has been branding the typical successful entrepreneur as the male, geeky, Ivy League dropout," said Lu Li, founder of Blooming Founders - a support network for female founders.
However, given the baked-in stereotypes and cultural norms we all live up to, whether consciously or not, the effects of this change may not be felt for some time.
BCG's research found that male founders were more likely to over-pitch their startup when fundraising, while female founders represent their business challenges more openly. In an industry often built on bravado and deception it seems men are rewarded for a 'big vision' they likely won't achieve whereas women are punished for being honest. The same trend can be found in recruitment.
Job descriptions compound this. If you've ever written 'high-powered', 'results-driven' or 'action-oriented' in a spec then a) please stop and b) you will have attracted more male applicants. Words that seem meaningless, matter.
Importantly, tech can no longer be a one-size fits all industry. There may be an argument for women to brag like their male counterparts but what kind of culture would that create? Answer: one in which a female founder feels they need to act like Steve Jobs, raise $700m based on lies, and create a fake, deeper masculine voice to speak in (see Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos for more). In any case, the onus should not be on women to fit tech's outdated view of what a founder should or shouldn't look like.
We all need to be sharper in how we use our words, what preconceptions we hold and where we make our judgements. If you think I'm being too politically correct then you've missed the point. This is about fuelling better businesses which are more successful. Businesses that have women at the top.

Red faction pc game download. Red Faction
Save 80% on Red Faction on Steam
It would have been nice to have a bud with a gun covering your six early on, or an all-out gun battle in the mines with several miners facing off against guards, with Parker in the middle. For all the rhetoric about miner's uniting, though, Parker spends almost all of the game alone. Red Faction features polished console graphics that transfer nicely to the PC.
The mines are claustrophobic and badly lit, and one gets the impression of actually creeping down shafts. Special effects are, for the most part, refined, and what little lighting is to be found is excellent.
Water effects are no more than average, but definitely not terrible. Volition, Inc. The most impressive aspect, however, is the innovative Geo-Mod technology, which gives you the ability to realistically blast most walls into rubble or tunnel through them with machinery.
It is a subtle touch that opens several possibilities for mod designers using the engine. Sounds are well done. Guns bark with authority and explosions rip through caverns convincingly. Even the tech nerds shriek satisfyingly when a gun is pointed at them. All of the ambient sounds, coupled with a solid music soundtrack, make the audio package very complete. The action in Red Faction is probably the most disappointing aspect, as it's too familiar to fans of the genre.
Although the single player game is woefully short, shooting countless guards gets old fast. The guards, while smarter than usual, provide little variation in targets for Parker.
There are a few places where vehicles break up the side-strafing tedium, but they feel like mini-games, rather than an integrated part of the whole. Also, there are times when Parker must sneak through buildings undetected, but it feels out of place, especially if he's supposed to be a bulky miner, not an espionage specialist.
It may well be big. Red Faction was easily the most complete FPS that we saw. The big thing about it is the accurate deformable terrain – somewhat of a first in this genre. We had loads of fun burrowing under doors and through walls, but when it came to the actual combat, we weren't quite so convinced.
However, the effects are incredible, and the weapons included some really heavy duty equipment, which will satisfy just about anyone with a love for mindless destruction. As with several other FPSs on show, Red Faction will give you the opportunity to pilot a variety of vehicles. We tried out the assault helicopter, which was very easy to manoeuvre with the mouse and keyboard controls. This was by far the most amount of fun we had during the presentation, and while we left impressed, we were hardly blown away by the whole experience.
Medal Of Honor. Return to Castle Wolfenstein and AvP2 might be the year's biggest shooters to come, but there's another single-player game just around the corner that you should keep one eye on.
I've talked about Red Faction in these hallowed pages before, but with THQ and Volition concentrating on getting the PS2 version out of the door first, the best incarnation of the new game has been conspicuous by its absence over the past few months. That all changed when the latest build arrived on my desk, including the full single-player campaign and 24 multiplayer maps including 18 straight deathmatch and six CTF.
So what's new? The unique selling point is still the Geo-Mod technology, which enables you to blast through most of a level's architecture, but now that we've had the benefit of the PS2 reviews a couple of interesting points have been raised. For a start, despite the existence of the Geo-Mod technology, criticisms have been levelled that the game doesn't make full use of it.
In fact, it's only actually necessary to use it in a few sections in the game, which seems like a bit of a waste. In one level you come across a couple of guards cowering inside a fortified room.
Running up you can throw an explosive charge through a gap in the wall, kill the guards and then blow a hole in the wall before getting in and pressing the obligatory switch. This sort of thing is pretty basic when you think about the stuff that was being shown as part of a tech demo last year, with lava flows being diverted and the like.
Puzzles built around the Geo-Mod capabilities would have lifted the game above its FPS counterparts, but it looks like Volition isn't going to exploit this fully in its first title. The multiplayer side of the game is far more open to the possibilities of the new technology. In one of the CTF maps we played, you can blow holes in the opposing fortress, leaving your opponents far more open to attack. Volition has cleverly introduced indesutictible meshes into walls, which means you can't blow every last brick away, although you can snipe through the holes with your rifle.
Better news comes with the fact that the game is going to ship with a full editing suite, RED. Because of the Geo-Mod technology, it might take a bit of time for the mod designers to get up to speed, but it should mean future mods will make more of something that Red Faction appears to have sidelined.
Another issue with the game is its AI. Early on in the game, the guards you encounter show about as much intelligence as a paper cup filled with goo. Apparently this is deliberate – the early guards are intentionally stupid to introduce you into the game softly. The fact that they don't appear to get any cleverer later on is a bit more worrying, although this may well change before the game goes gold.
As with No-One Lives Forever, the guards do show some signs of basic scripting – running away when low on health and the like, but there's nothing that we've seen yet that's on a par with the best games over the past couple of years.
Even if the A1 isn't honed to perfection, there's still enough about Red Faction to make it stand out. Instead of having to trudge through it all on foot, you get to commandeer vehicles, including a submarine and a jeep. The range of weapons is good, and most come with a dual fire mode.
The assault rifle, flame-thrower and rocket launcher should ensure your blood lust is sated. Geo-mod system doesn't sound exciting. In fact, it sounds downright dull–like an option you'd hear "comes standard" on a car commercial. But what it represents makes Red Faction the most exciting thing to happen to first-person shooters since Quake took them online. Sure some games use bullet holes or scorch marks to show damage, but the Geo-mod short for Geometry Modification system in Red Faction takes that idea and runs away with it: You can actually blow real holes in the walls, floors and ceilings.
And this means more than just a nifty new layer of realism–it opens up whole new avenues of gameplay, as lead designer at Volition Alan Lawrance explains: "You can blow holes through walls to form escape routes or attack unsuspecting enemies. You can collapse structures to kill enemies that might otherwise be impossible to kill.
You can destroy the cover enemies are hiding behind, cause bridges to collapse, or burrow yourself a nice spot to use for protection.
The other thing that makes Red Faction so exciting: the physics. You're probably thinking "Physics?! That boring crap I have to sit through in third period? Check out all the cool stuff that Red Faction's super-physics make possible: When you shoot a window, it shatters out from the bullet hole into tiny shards that realistically fall; when you blow up a window, or a wall–or a group of bad guys, for that matter–the debris flies away from the blast, just like in real life careful, it can hurt you too ; fans and the wind outdoors effect smoke and slow-moving projectiles like tossed grenades, for example ; bullets ricochet off of metal surfaces at the angles you'd expect them to; water and lava pour and pool like real liquids; it's all very kick ass.
But take away the Geo-mod and the fancy physics, and what would you be left with? Actually, Red Faction would still be shaping up as an excellent first-person shooter. Let's go down the shopping list for what makes any fps worth a damn:. Cool story line: check. You play Parker, a miner on Mars and employee of the Ultor corporation. Horrible working conditions and a mysterious mutation-causing disease known as "the plague" have the workers ready to revolt.
As a member of the underground resistance group Red Faction, your goal is to discover what's behind the plague and bring down Ultor. You'll travel through subterranean mine shafts, over the Martian surface–even up to satellites orbiting far above the giant red planet. Scripted events a la Half-Life : check. And not only does stuff happen as you're playing in the levels to advance the plot, often times you can alter the course of the game by your actions.
For example: At one point you might find a guard about to execute a fellow miner. If you don't intervene in time, he's dead meat, but if you do, he'll tell you the location of a weapon storeroom.
Cool weapons: check. The bread and butter of any fps, Red Faction will have 15 weapons, each like Unreal Tournament with two ways of firing them. Some look especially tasty, like the flamethrower: Shoot it normally to light your enemies aflame or turn off the pilot light, spray the liquid all over the hall, and ignite it when your friends walk in.
Plus there's plenty of bigger weapons–machine guns and rocket turrets, as well as vehicles with mounted guns and other deadly goodies. Multiplayer: check A two-player splitscreen game will be included, but four-player looks doubtful since, as Alan explains, "we don't want to dumb down the visuals to the point where it's playable for four.
So while Red Faction looks like it will be an incredibly unique and innovative title, Volition knows it can't stop there. The guys behind the Descent games, who still play Unreal Tournament almost daily on the office network to blow off steam, know it's not buzzwords or innovation alone that make a game worth playing. The Red Planet.
Determined to profit at any cost, the Ultor Corporation has established a monopoly on Mars, giving them the ability to strip-mine the planet's natural resources. In response to their abuse of the local mining population, the Red Faction freedom fighters launch a revolution that will change the face of Mars forever. In order to accomplish their massive goals, Ultor has established a brutal and oppressive corporate government.
Miners are overworked, underfed, and controlled by gestapo tactics and bullying guards. The conditions are hostile, and the plight of the miners is a desperate one. To make matters worse, a virulent and mysterious plague has begun sweeping through the population, randomly striking miners with a terrible wasting disease.
Your character is one of the miners, Parker — a intemperate youth from Earth, bitter with the knowledge that he can never return home. All is not lost though. A small, hidden group, calling themselves the Red Faction, led by a mysterious woman known as Eos, seeks to free Mars.

На мгновение она словно приросла к месту, не зная, куда бежать и что делать. Интуиция подсказывала ей спасаться бегством, но у нее не было пароля от двери лифта. Сердце говорило ей, что она должна помочь Стратмору, но. Повернувшись в полном отчаянии, она ожидала услышать шум смертельной борьбы на полу, но все было тихо. Все вдруг сразу же смолкло: как если бы Хейл, сбив коммандера с ног, снова растворился в темноте.

Navigating the Theater of the Urban
Chris Moffett | January 26, 2013
Topics: Of Interest...
You are standing awkwardly with a group of sixty people or so, at 9pm on a deserted street somewhere in São Paulo, when the play begins by cutting through the mass, cleaving the tenuous bonds that hold you together, bonds which also become all the more essential. This is just the beginning.
Soon the group finds itself ducking under a gate into a deserted mall, unclear whether we were invited in, corralled in, or whether it was our own collective curiosity. At each turn your sense of the scope of the event is shattered, your sense of the boundaries between city and theater further eradicated. This is Teatro da Vertigem's "Bom Retiro 958 Metros." You know this because you bought a ticket, prompted by the insistent cryptic buzz: go see it, there are not words.
The actors speak Portuguese, of course, but even if you don't it hardly matters. It becomes just another effect or lack thereof—one always speaks or doesn't speak the language, is always in a city, here or there, or not. It's not that everything is interchangeable, but that specificities run everywhere. Not worrying about what is being said, and running on a week long sleep deficit, your thoughts have plenty of space to wander, a whole city, it seems.
Part of the reason for the buzz becomes increasingly evident, since it is buzzing now in your own head, building from a murmur. Any one of these turns/tropes would have sufficed to buttress a typical play, and yet here each one is casually exceeded. Threading the labyrinth of the mall, you find yourself outside; finding yourself outside, someone springs up a sheer stone wall, and as the empty subway car passes behind him it dawns on you that this may or may not have been orchestrated, the metro you arrived on turned into a massive infrastructural prop. What would this take, what does this take? This becomes a kind of refrain. Paradoxically, the sense of scale becomes more elusive, more apparent.
It is as if, sometimes, something comes along that so deftly shatters previous constraints that it is no longer particularly oriented to them. They are shed both grandly and casually.
So, for example, the mistake would be to think of this production as an exercise in breaking the fourth wall. This is a theatrical problem. (Instead, at some point you find yourself in an abandoned theater, then on stage, then washed out into the street by the pouring water of the cleaning crew.) Walls are not just fixed boundaries, more or less opaque, but also generators of flow. A gate lifts, the audience is swept down a narrow street, set in motion by a bike cart plunging through us and away, a window in an abandoned building is lit, then another, then another. It is as if, indeed, the usual theatrical problem is so swept away that all we are left with is these vestiges of the fourth wall itself, the bond of a displaced, nomadic audience following an unfolding production.
Because it is produced. There is no doubt about it. More Broadway than Broadway. Its backstage both brought out into the open and receding down dark alleys, scurrying to get ahead for the next scene, or already there, rerouting traffic, or sending it through the scene for "spontaneous" effects. This is the unsettling challenge: when the theater is swept away we are not quite left with the everyday—a slumbering city of commerce, dilapidated or abandoned buildings, people driving home. This is not minimalism receding to show us bare life, an "authentic" city. Instead we encounter the theatricality full force, the city as production, navigating its streets as an orchestration, the streetlamp turned on to spotlight a monologue from a marquee itself, brought to you by Petrobras, Brazilian Gas, and the Ministério da Cultura. The city mines its own ruins.
Which finds you thinking, in your sleep deprived, spatially and spectacle bewildered state, that when the usual constraints are so completely and masterfully shattered, it makes no sense to continue to orient to them, but neither are you simply free in the beyond. Instead the effect is to become aware of problems you did not even realize you had, masked as they are by the usual way of orienting to them. If theater is not a space within the city, a black box with a wall removed, then we are confronted with the underlying problem of the virtual/real that the theater both taps and constrains. But this is to be expected. Theater always presages this, rehearses and stages its own collapse. When it begins from here, however, and emerges full grown and fully clothed, as Athena from Zeus' head, we discover another effect. New problems. What is, for example, a Teatro da Vertigem? The overall effect is indeed vertiginous, but of a certain sort that you can begin to recognize, even if you have never seen anything like it.
The very mechanisms that disorient also fiercely orient, and in their masterful execution you realize any number of decisions, vertigems that got sorted. How do you project scenery onto the exteriors of a building, what are the ways in which a crowd can be moved from place to place, how do you store and move props that are indistinguishable from garbage, inhabit spaces that are commercial or abandoned "by day," project sound in the valleys and labyrinths of buildings and streets? All of these massive new problems are so deftly handled, that you may forget that they could have been otherwise. This is the layering of problems that dawns on you: old problems swept aside, older problems unearthed, new problems masterfully sorted, and then, uneasy, out at the limit, new problems that we did not realize we might have, unanswered, deliberately or inadvertently provoked. What other ways…
You find yourself telling others, go see it, there are not words. Not just out of awe, some desire to share the experience, but in the hopes that you could then talk on the other side. There is an uneasiness to this. It's not a recommendation. You worry that others might be impressed, and tell others to go see it, and so on. Your unease a sign, perhaps, of some new problem, dimly perceived.
If only you could sleep…
