Project Profile: Henri Michaux Catalogue Raisonné
Posted by slarrivee
Artist: Henri Michaux (1899 – 1994)
Scope: Comprehensive
Years Covered: 1925 -1984
Database: custom-designed software
Print or Digital: digital
Schedule: Research has been on going since 2001. A publication has not yet been set.
Key Staff: Micheline Phankim, Rainer M. Mason, Franck Leibovici
CRSA: This project will be the first catalogue raisonné on Henri Michaux. What are some of the project's primary resources?
HMCR: We used the studio collection as a basis, then, the photos archives of the previous galleries, like the Point Cardinal Gallery, in Paris.
CRSA: What specific challenges do you face in researching Michaux?
HMCR: Michaux did not provide any dates, and he did not give titles to his paintings and drawings. So finding an accurate date is here a strong issue. We can not rely on dates published in museum catalogues, because depending on the publication, the same painting may get different dates, and because these dates were given by either the art dealer or by a collector not paying much attention to this issue. Also, generic categories are not so much of a help: applying the term "Indian ink" to more than 500 works does not allow us to discriminate and go through the works. Nor the dimensions, as the size of the paper is usually standard. This is why we needed to create a software which would take into account the properties of Michaux works. For instance, tools as queries by similarities, or tagging or family resemblances will be of a great help for future investigations. Additionally, most of the works between 1925 and the 50's are largely un-documented. We have lists of galleries or museums exhibitions, which happened during that time, but with with very few images or descriptions of the works which were exhibited.
CRSA: How do you think this research will help change our understanding of Michaux's work?
HMCR: The catalogue raisonné allows us to put works next to each other and set up series and family resemblances, which is very helpful to date works which have been un-dated for years.
CRSA: Are there plans for additional content, such as essays or appendices?
HMCR: Yes, an essay (just released) takes care of the epistemological and methodological issues of the Michaux catalogue raisonné. It has been published first in France as an autonomous book, but will be linked as an ebook to the catalogue raisonné itself: Franck Leibovici, Henri Michaux: Voir (une enquête), Paris : 2014, PUPS. ISBN : 978-2-84050-930-1
CRSA: Once the digital publication is finalized, will you consider adapting a print version?
HMCR: The digital edition will be the main one. It is today the most relevant medium to conduct a research. A print version would be then a selection among the works, but it would not make sense to turn it into a fac simile of the the electronic edition. We would lose all the technical advantages of digital organisations (facets, tags, and so on).

Project Profile: Jasper Johns Catalogue Raisonné of Drawings
Jasper Johns. Two Flags, 1969. Graphite pencil and collage on paper. 22 1/4 x 30 3/4 in. The Menil Collection, Houston. © Jasper Johns / Licensed by VAGA, New York, NY. Photograph: Jamie M. Stukenberg / Professional Graphics Inc., Rockford, Illinois.
Artist: Jasper Johns (b. 1930)
Planned Title: The Catalogue Raisonné of the Drawings of Jasper Johns
Print or Digital: Print
Publisher: To be announced
Database: FileMaker
Schedule: 2011–2016; Expected publication date Fall 2016
Supported by: The Menil Collection, Houston, in cooperation with the artist
Key Staff: Allegra Pesenti (Chief Curator of the Menil Drawing Institute), Bernice Rose (Advisor), Eileen Costello (Editor and Project Director); Kate Ganz (Senior Editor); Caroline Gabrielli (Senior Project Associate); Christian Wurst (Exhibitions Researcher); Kim Costello (Literature Researcher)
CRSA: What are some of the Johns Drawings Catalogue Raisonné's primary resources?
JJDCR: At the start of our project, the artist's studio provided us with Mr. Johns's complete drawings inventory, which we migrated into our specially designed database. This laid the foundation for our research in addition to the numerous comprehensive retrospective exhibitions of Mr. Johns's work that have taken place over the past several decades. We were also very fortunate to have access to invaluable primary resources located in the archives of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles; The National Gallery, D.C; The Art Institute of Chicago; The Menil Foundation, and a number of commercial galleries. The Archives of American Art continues to be a rich resource, especially The Leo Castelli Gallery records, which became available the year we commenced our research. Our project has also benefited from the artist's cooperation and his studio's assistance, especially in regard to photography. Further, as a Menil Foundation project, we benefit from their reputation for publishing scholarly exhibition catalogues as well as the highly regarded René Magritte and Max Ernst catalogues raisonné.
CRSA: This project is one of two separate catalogues raisonnés currently being prepared on the artist. Is there any project overlap or opportunities to collaborate?
JJDCR: Roberta Bernstein, under the aegis of the Wildenstein Institute, had begun work on a catalogue raisonné of the artist's paintings and sculptures several years previous to our project. Although dealing with entirely different mediums, in a number of instances, the two projects often shared secondary (literature and exhibition) research, which proved mutually beneficial.
CRSA: How do you hope this publication might affect the public's understanding of Jasper Johns?
JJDCR: The Drawings Catalogue Raisonné will present each drawing as factually and visually accurate as possible. As the definitive publication of Mr. Johns's drawings oeuvre, our hope is to make that aspect of the artist's work more accessible—visually and intellectually—to a broader audience.
CRSA: What specific challenges do you face in researching Johns?
JJDCR: The extensive amount of primary resources available to us concerning the artist and his work has expedited our research. The artist's renown has also facilitated our project. We've dealt with the anticipated challenges in compiling a catalogue raisonné such as artworks with complicated provenances or exhibitions that were a little more difficult to verify because of a lack of records. However, our dedicated and persistent research staff has been able to track down many of these "unavailable" records as well as a number of "lost" drawings, which we weren't entirely sure would ever be found.
CRSA: Are there plans for additional content beyond artwork/exhibitions/bibliography, such as essays or appendices?
JJDCR: There is discussion of including a drawing-centric chronology. However, as of this date, it is still too early to decide on additional content.
CRSA: Does this project update or expand upon a previously published catalogue raisonné of the artist's work?
JJDCR: This will be the first catalogue raisonné of the artist's drawings.
CRSA: Are there plans for supplements or a digital adaptation?
JJDCR: For now we are planning a printed publication only. However, we are considering adapting a digital version, but no decisions have been made about this yet.

Project Profile: The Daumier-Register
Selfportrait by Honoré Daumier, 19th century, drypoint. Property of the Cleveland Museum of Art. Gift of E. Weyhe 1930.534
CRSA recently sat down with Dieter and Lilian Noack to talk about their monumental 14 year effort, the Daumier-Register, an ongoing digital catalogue of the works of Honoré Daumier. The site launched in 2001, giving it the distinction of being one of the first and longest running digital catalogues of one artist's work in the field. Over the course of our interview, we learned many ways their project relates to and departs from the traditional (printed) catalogue raisonné format:
Artist: Honoré Daumier (1808 – 1879)
Organized by / Staff: Dieter and Lilian Noack
Publication format: Digital, accessible via http://www.daumier-register.org and http://www.daumier.org
Scope: 4000 lithographs, 1000 wood engravings, 550 oil paintings and 100 sculptures
Forthcoming content: 1,500 drawings
Database: Microsoft Access
Prior publications: The Daumier-Register builds upon a fairly long list of catalogues on the artist, dating back to 1888, including those by:
Arsène Alexandre (Paris, H. Laurens, 1888)
Erich Klossowski (München, R. Piper 1908 and München, R. Piper, 1923)
Eduard Fuchs (München, A. Langen, 1930)
Jean Adhémar's (New York, Macmillan, 1954)
K.E. Maison (v. 1 London, Thames and Hudson, 1967-68,v.2 London Thames and Hudson New York, NY Graphic Society 1968)
Gabriele Mandel, Luigi Barzini and Pierre Georgel (Milano, Rizzoli 1971, and Paris, Flammarion 1972)
Primary resources: A primary resource for the Daumier-Register is the 1968 CR by K.E. Maison, but they have built on this by contacting museums and archives, and reviewing exhibition and auction catalogues from the 1860 onward with the help of the Watson Library and Frick Library.
Updates: While their database is updated regularly as research develops, the site undergoes a major update once or twice per year. Minor changes occur on an ongoing basis.
Digital-only benefits: The site includes three language options (English, French, and German), multimedia content, and more than 700 "themes" related to the artist and his practice so that scholars can identify, for example, all works that include or relate to "lawyers" or "bookdealers," or combine up to four themes in a search.
Project Profile: The Roy Lichtenstein Catalogue Raisonné
"Roy on Ladder, 1991" – Photograph © Laurie Lambrecht,1991
Artist: Roy Lichtenstein (1923 – 1997)
Planned Title: Roy Lichtenstein: A Catalogue Raisonné
Scope: The catalogue will illustrate every confirmed work and publish all known paintings, sculpture, drawings, prints, commissions and other artwork by Roy Lichtenstein. The artist produced approximately 5,000 works during his lifetime (not counting the full edition runs of prints or multiples).
Years Covered: The earliest works date from c. 1940 and the latest, 1997, plus a limited number of posthumous sculpture casts and prints.
Print or Digital: We are planning to publish first an online catalogue version. When persuasively complete, we expect to issue a summary of our research in book form, distributed by a major University Press.
Database: The Museum System (TMS) until 2011; panOpticon since then.
Schedule: A first digital version is planned to be online in 2017.
Publisher: To be defined
Organized by: The catalogue is organized and managed by the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation. Jack Cowart (Executive Director), Andrea C. Theil (Project Manager).
CRSA: What are some of the Roy Lichtenstein Catalogue Raisonné's primary resources?
RLCR: Since its beginning in 1999, the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation has been systematically sorting through the extensive artist studio records. Lichtenstein and his studio staff photographed most of his artworks in the studio, and they accumulated contemporary documentation about his art, commissions, editions, and exhibitions. The material includes correspondence, exhibition files, catalogues, source books, studio and installation photographs as well as films, video, audio tapes and other materials related to the creation and production of Lichtenstein's art. Of major importance are also the artwork and documentation held by the Estate of Roy Lichtenstein. When it comes to technical questions we are continuously benefiting from the experience of Lichtenstein's longtime studio assistants.
Provenance research usually starts with looking through the comprehensive Leo Castelli Gallery records at the Archives of American Art which cover the long relationship between the artist and his lifetime gallerist. We also refer to the oral histories conducted over the past decade by Avis Berman on behalf of the Foundation. She interviewed (and still interviews) family members, friends, and studio staff as well as people who were involved directly or indirectly in Lichtenstein's creative life. Our research is enriched by the detailed memories and deep knowledge of Lichtenstein's art offered by his widow Dorothy Lichtenstein.
CRSA: What specific challenges do you face in preparing the RL Catalogue Raisonné?
RLCR: One of our challenges is the attempt to create a complex online reference tool which covers numerous aspects of Lichtenstein's work – sometimes it is rather difficult to establish a clear and integrated architecture. But with the help of our panOpticon database we are making great progress.
CRSA: Will the existing RL Catalogue Raisonné of Prints be included in your online CR version?
RLCR: Yes, it will. Lichtenstein was a prolific print maker, and we are happy to say that the existing catalogue raisonné of his prints (published by Hudson Hills press in association with the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.) has absolved us of having to redo that part of his work. But we will reorganize the records, making minor corrections as we have been able to find new info.

Project Profile: The Donald Judd Catalogue Raisonné
Donald Judd in his studio © Judd Foundation
Artist: Donald Judd (1928-1994)
Scope: Sculptures, paintings, and woodblocks
Years Covered: 1940s to 1994
Print or Digital: Undecided
Database: FileMaker Pro
Schedule: The project was begun in earnest in 2009, although research that benefits the catalogue raisonné was begun several years earlier. A publication date has not yet been set.
Supported by: Judd Foundation and the support of anonymous donors
CRSA: What are some of the Donald Judd Catalogue Raisonné's primary resources?
DJCR: We used the lifetime catalogue raisonné (Del Balso, Smith, and Smith 1975) as a jumping off point. However, this catalogue only includes work completed between August 1960 and mid-1974, leaving several decades at the beginning and end of his career completely uncatalogued. Judd worked with a wide range of fabricators, so our primary sources are the fabricator records and a running record that Judd's studio assistants kept beginning in 1968. We're lucky to have a number of the studio assistants involved with the project and their memories and stories add so much depth and context to our daily research.
CRSA: What is something you have come across in your research that changed your understanding of the way Donald Judd worked?
DJCR: This past June we opened Judd's Soho studio to the public after three years of active restoration. The catalogue raisonné offices are located in the basement of the building, which affords us special insight into how Judd's living and working spaces continue to resonate with the art, design, and architecture communities. It has brought Judd's insistence that "art should be made as one lives" into high relief and affects how we interact with the research we are collecting. One starts to really understand the importance of permanently installed spaces when working in one.
CRSA: What specific challenges do you face in researching Donald Judd?
DJCR: Each catalogue raisonné project has a different set of challenges even though they may look similar on the surface. It's been complicated to parse the varying records among the large number of fabricators he used. The numbering system became a bit confused at a certain point with duplicate numbers, unfinished works, rejected works, and restored works. It can also be extremely difficult to identify exactly which works were exhibited as Judd's works are nearly all untitled and black-and-white installation photographs may only tell you what type of work was shown (i.e. a large "stack") not the exact work that was shown (i.e. the large stack in copper and pink Plexiglas from 1983).

Project Profile: The David Smith Catalogue Raisonné
David Smith in his workshop, Bolton Landing, 1953. Photograph by the artist. © The Estate of David Smith/Licensed by VAGA, New York.
Artist: David Smith (1906-1965)
Planned Publication Title: David Smith Sculptures: A Catalogue Raisonné
Scope and Years Covered: Although best known for his steel and stainless steel sculptures, Smith also worked in coral, iron, lead, wood, marble, cast aluminum and bronze. The CR will comprise his entire body of sculptural works, created from 1932 to 1965, which includes more than 600 free-standing works, as well as cast silver and bronze relief sculptures and a small group of cast metal jewelry pendants.
Organized and Supported by: The Estate of David Smith (a.k.a. Terminal Iron Works LLC); Candida Smith, Rebecca Smith and Peter Stevens, Executive Director.
Planned Format: To be determined. We would like to publish the CR first as a book, and perhaps later in digital form.
Current CR Project Staff: Susan Cooke, Associate Director, The Estate of David Smith & Catalogue Raisonné Director. Allyn Shepard, Senior Researcher. Tracee Ng, Researcher.
CRSA: Is this project updating or building upon a previously published CR?
Susan Cooke: Yes. Our project is profoundly indebted to Rosalind Krauss's CR of Smith's sculpture, published by Garland Publishing, Inc., in 1977, which she originally submitted to Harvard University in 1969 as a component of her dissertation on Smith's work. The Estate's CR will re-verify, revise, update and expand the information presented by Krauss and greatly increase the visual documentation of individual works. Smith, with rare exceptions, did not make editions or multiple casts of his sculptures, and The Estate has never authorized posthumous casts of his works. In addition, because he sold or gave away few sculptures during his life and his own records and the inventories Krauss and the Estate completed soon after his death were so thorough, we don't expect to add significantly to the number of works that comprise this body of his work.
CRSA: Do you have a publisher?
SC: We've had some preliminary conversations with digital and web publishers and hope to begin conversations with print publishers later this year. We have largely completed the inventory of Smith's sculptures, have received CR application forms back from nearly all of the public and private collections we contacted, and have gathered most the data we need to write physical descriptions, and compile exhibition, literature and provenance histories for the individual works.
We are in the process of defining what the components of the CR–the nature and scope of the individual catalogue entries, the accompanying historical, critical, analytical and biographical essays, the concordances and back matter—and are still gathering or commissioning publication-quality photographs of the works. All of which is to say that publication of the Smith CR–as whatever form it takes as a printed or digital entity—is still several years away.
CRSA: What are some of the Smith CR's primary resources?
SC: Beginning with the creation of his earliest sculptures, and for the rest of his life, Smith documented his work extensively, in his sketchbooks and in a prodigious body of photographs, many annotated, that he took of individual sculptures and sculpture groups. These original records and images, together with Smith's writings, lectures and interviews, his personal and business correspondence, clippings files, his library, and, to a much lesser extent, the tools and materials he used to make his sculptures, remain part of The Estate's collections (microfilm copies of the photographs, sketchbooks and correspondence are also accessible on microfilm at the Archives of American Art).
We have also relied heavily on the resources of the Archives of American Art, which preserves the correspondence and oral histories donated by Smith's first wife, Dorothy Dehner, and the papers of several of his dealers and close friends; on the archives of The Museum of Modern Art, which houses much of the documentation gathered by Rosalind Krauss in the 1960s for her David Smith CR; and on many other public and private archives throughout the country. In addition, the Estate owns representative bodies of the artist's sculptures, drawings, paintings, and prints, which we refer to constantly for information and insight about the esthetic and technical characteristics of his work. Our research also been enriched by the memories and uniquely intimate understanding of Smith's work possessed by his daughters, Rebecca and Candida, and guided by the eye and expertise of Peter Stevens, Executive Director of the Estate for more than thirty years.
CRSA: What specific challenges do you face in researching DS?
SC: We spend a lot of time trying to answer very practical questions that then lead to interesting methodological and even philosophical discussions: how to standardize The Estate's (and other owners') measurements of a sculpture's height, width and depth; how to define accurately the media and methods Smith used; how to record the physical changes to a work wrought by time or deliberate or unintended acts by the artist or others; how best to illustrate in photographs a work's three-dimensional materiality and visual multiplicity, and convey the artist's intention that these be experienced over time and as a function of the viewer's own movement through space? Some of these questions also bedevil CR authors working with two-dimensional media, but the verbal and graphic conventions for representing sculpture seem less settled and less precise.
CRSA: When examining artworks, what is one thing the Smith project particularly makes sure to note?
SC: Like all CR researchers, we try to examine every work directly and also study them in newly taken high-resolution digital photographs. Looking closely at works, even those we assumed we knew well, has made us more sensitive to the importance of color and surface treatment in every sculpture Smith created. These aspects of his formal and expressive vocabulary have been often overlooked, if only because until fairly recently the images used to illustrate his work in books and catalogues were almost exclusively the artist's own highly evocative, but rarely detailed or close-up, black and white photographs.
We also try to take or obtain photographs of all signatures and inscriptions, because these have sometimes been ignored or incompletely or incorrectly recorded, and we also try to document whether the current base is original to the work. We also re-verify the identification of each work's media and method of fabrication, because the artist's own descriptions and information provided by subsequent owners (and even The Estate) are not infrequently cursory, contradictory, incomplete, or just plain wrong.
CRSA: What is something you have come across in your research that changed your understanding of the way DS worked?
SC: Smith's habit of working in series is well known and often determines the conceptual structure of major surveys of his sculpture. By trying to pinpoint the start and completion dates of each individual work, whether or not Smith designated them as part of a series, we've been able to document more precisely when and how various series coincide and overlap, and to demonstrate the cross-pollination that occurs among sculpture series and between sculptures and paintings, drawings and photographs. Smith's work is both tremendously heterogeneous and interconnected by recurring formal and expressive motifs. We hope to devise a visual design and structure for the CR that enables its users to understand the development of Smith works in terms of chronological simultaneity and chronological sequence.
CRSA: Are you preparing additional content beyond artwork, exhibitions, bibliography and chronology?
SC: We would like to quote Smith's statements and sketchbook notes about particular works as well as summarize the critical commentary on the major sculptures in the individual CR entries. We also feel strongly that it's important to illustrate most of his sculptures from multiple viewpoints, using recent color photographs and vintage black and white and color images taken by the artist, and also to illustrate related drawings and paintings, as a way of demonstrating his thinking processes and honoring his declaration that he did not "recognize the lines drawn between painting and sculpture aesthetically".
We will provide a detailed, illustrated biographical chronology, and we are considering including a number of longer, analytical and historical essays that will address the nature and stature of Smith's sculptural achievements, his materials and working methods, the relationship between figuration and abstraction in his work, the concept of the sculptural series, and the evolution and significance of the sculpture installations he created on his property at Bolton Landing.

Project Profile: The Isamu Noguchi Catalogue Raisonné
Isamu Noguchi in his Long Island City studio with "Red Untitled" (1965-66), © The Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum, New York
Artist: Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988)
Years Covered: 1924 – 1988
Format: Digital, accessible at http://catalogue.noguchi.org
Schedule: Research has been ongoing for many years. The first chapter of the publication premiered online in 2011. New chapters will be added annually until research is complete (expected in 2018).
Database: The Museum System (TMS)
Supported by: The Isamu Noguchi Catalogue Raisonné is a project of The Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum, New York, with generous lead support from Tsuenko and Shoji Sadao. Additional support from the Dedalus Foundation, the Henry Luce Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
CRSA: What are some of the INCR's primary resources?
INCR: Noguchi was not very rigorous about studio inventories – very few were ever conducted, and he frequently changed galleries. Our project's most consistent archival resource has been the artist's extant archives, including more than 17,000 photographs of artworks, exhibitions, his various studios and travels. In the late 1970s, Noguchi's studio assistants also completed what became the first catalogue raisonné of his sculpture. The Sculpture of Isamu Noguchi, 19241979: A Catalogue (Garland Press: 1980) was compiled with the help of Noguchi, and became the foundation for all future research and cataloging.
CRSA: How do you hope the INCR might affect the public's understanding of Isamu Noguchi?
INCR: We hope that digital publication will offer a good sense of how extremely interdisciplinary and interrelated Noguchi's practice was throughout his lifetime. He worked in a variety of media and formats, ranging from discrete sculpture, to industrial design, stage sets and whole environments. We've arranged the publication's chronology in a way that shows what he was working on each year, alongside where he was traveling and exhibiting. Some years will show the premier of a stage set, coinciding with the design of a table, as well as work in stone and wood.
CRSA: What specific challenges do you face in researching Noguchi?
INCR: One that we are working on this year has to do with Noguchi's work in bronze. He would begin edition series with an original intent of the edition size, but only cast on-demand. This is not an uncommon practice, but an added complication is that as he switched foundries every couple of years, and certain casts which began in the early 1960s were not revisited until the late 1980s. This led to some errors in accounting in a series of more than 300 individual bronze sculptures. It's a tangled mess, but we're working through it by reviewing foundry invoices and a tremendous amount of correspondence between Noguchi and his galleries, fabricators, and accountant.
INCR: Not at this time, but our digital platform is flexible should we decide to add more content like audio, video, downloadable resources, etc.
CRSA: Would you do anything extra if time and resources were unlimited?
INCR: A fully digitized archive would be a tremendous help to our project and others researching Noguchi's life and work.
CRSA: Will updates be ongoing?
INCR: We plan for updates and additions through at least 2018.
CRSA: Would you consider adapting a print version?
INCR: The Noguchi Museum has considered the possibility of publishing excerpts from the digital publication when research is complete. We also hope that advances in digital press printing may make it possible to create a "print on demand" feature from our existing digital platform in the near future.

The Siren Project
When the government is compromised, who do you turn to? In Stephen Renneberg's political action thriller The Siren Project, the answer is John Mitchell, a former Secret Service officer and military man who now works independently to pad his own pockets solving high-risk issues for private customers. What he thought was a run-of-the-mill smash-and-dash grab of intel from a company turns out to be a trap drawing him in to help find a covert government experiment that could spell disaster for the country and possibly the world. With no other option but to take the task, which he puts a hefty price tag on for himself and his team, he agrees to help a man named Knightly find Dr. Steinus and "The Siren Project." Accompanied by Christa, his new "employer's" confidant, John finds that his new tag-along is the least of his worries as people succumb to a new mind-controlling device that is the very thing he is trying to find and get out of the wrong hands. He has very few he can trust on his side, but when you are up against the U.S. government, is there any amount of help that you can really trust?
Stephen Renneberg delivers a fast-paced political thriller with The Siren Project that is a page-turner from beginning to end. The story line is very well written and has twists and turns that make this one book that should not be missed. What amps up the excitement of this book is that just when you think you have things figured out, a wrench is thrown into the mix. The characters are very well written, with personality profiles that fit the roles that they have in the story. For all of these reasons and more this book earns a strong five out of five stars.

Whitehall: Woman shoots husband's ear in apparent mishap
Whitehall police arrested a 62-year-old Columbus woman for negligent assault and using weapons while intoxicated, both misdemeanors, after she apparently shot a man by accident inside a residence on the 1000 block of Westphal Avenue.
At 10:30 p.m. July 14, security officers at Mount Carmel East Hospital called police to report the woman had brought her husband to the emergency room with a gunshot wound to the ear.
Whitehall reports said Columbus police already had taped off the woman's vehicle at the entrance to the emergency room. The woman told Whitehall police she accidentally had shot her husband.
She told police she found the gun in the center console of a couch. While pointing the gun at the floor, she carried it to an upstairs bedroom, where it accidentally discharged and struck the man, reports said.
The woman, whom police said had the scent of alcohol on her breath, told officers she had consumed two shots and a glass of vodka.
The man told police he was outside the residence when he was "hit," but became increasingly uncooperative as police questioned him, report said.
Police found a handgun at the residence, as well as a plastic baggie of .38-caliber cartridges and an empty bottle of vodka, reports said.
In other recent Whitehall police reports:
* Officers arrested a 23-year-old Columbus man for two counts of aggravated menacing, carrying a concealed weapon, improper handling of a gun in a motor vehicle and multiple traffic violations at 6 p.m. July 10 at South Hamilton Road and Josephus Lane.
Police responded to a report of a three-vehicle crash in which one of the people involved was said to be pointing a firearm toward people in the other vehicles.
Witnesses said a driver exited the lot of a business on the east side of South Hamilton Road and entered traffic, where the accident occurred just south of East Main Street.
Another witness told police the man driving that car was struck broadside by vehicles traveling north on South Hamilton Road.
The man then reportedly brandished a gun and threatened to kill the other drivers involved in the crash.
* Police arrested a 21-year-old Whitehall man for felonious assault at 11:45 p.m. July 10 at South Yearling Road and Wright Avenue.
Officers arrested the man after witnesses identified him, according to reports.
Police said shell casings and a 9mm handgun were recovered at the scene.
* Police arrested a 14-year-old Columbus boy for receiving stolen property, failure to comply with the signal of a police officer and driving without a license after he reportedly was found in possession of a stolen vehicle at 2:05 a.m. July 12 at East Main Street and McNaughten Road in Columbus.

Before the arrival of the boiler special precautions, preparations, reinforcement and scheduling were required. We reinforced the floor, fabricated support steel for the boiler stack, planned roadway closures for the boiler delivery and an hour by hour project schedule. This boiler was very large in size and weighed 85 tones requiring a 600 ton crane to offload and place. Once the boiler was in place our mechanical division installed HP steam, condensate, controls, stacks, economizer, fuel oil, natural gas and blow down piping all as per TSSA regulations. Our electrical division connected all power, controls and associated devices to the boiler system. Once the installation was complete the system was tested and commissioned. This project was completed to the satisfaction of the customer.

Rick MacLean's Rant

Remembering David Morris
By Rick MacLean, June 26, 2006
Last time: Deciding what to do after high school graduation is tough. I went to Mount Allison University with plans of becoming a doctor. I switched to history after two years, wrote a book, headed to graduate school, quit, joined Canada's diplomatic service, quit and ended up jobless in Miramichi at age 24. A history professor, and long-time friend of mine, Dave Beatty, was shocked when I told him what I'd done. This is the third of three parts.
I didn't realize it then, but if anyone could understand what I was going through, Dave Beatty could.
Now retired after decades of teaching at Mt. A, he sat in his summer home recently and laughed at the memory of my phone call saying I'd quit yet another career. He raked a hand through his unruly hair, then ran his fingers across the front of his dark green, Michigan State University sweatshirt.
He grew up to become a farmer in the American Midwest in the 1950s.
"Oh-high-ah," he still calls it when talking about Ohio. Still in his twenties, he married, settled down. His life's direction was set.
Farming was then, as it is now, a tough way to earn a living. In a bid to keep prices up, the federal government paid some farmers not to farm. Dave took the money and, with the military draft and Vietnam looming, headed to university, which offered a temporary reprieve from a Huey helicopter and an M-16.
He did well, very well. Earning a spot among the 40-some students on the honour roll. But the time slid by and suddenly he was graduating. He'd been so focused on his studies, he'd made no plans for the future. His marriage was stumbling towards divorce and the military draft awaited.
Then, a professor stepped in and changed his life.
Professor Gesner was an imposing woman with a reputation for not suffering fools gladly. One of the most influential academics in the region, she called him into her office.
What are your plans? she demanded.
He didn't know.
There is a new scholarship, intended to encourage students to study diplomatic history. Did he know about it?
Well, the deadline is the next day. He should apply, she said, then she stared at him knowingly. She'd act as a reference. He needed two others.
It was nearly 4:30. He'd better hurry, she said.
Dave rushed from the office and somehow found two professors who hadn't gone home for the day. Both knew his work, had given him excellent marks. The application deadline was when?
Oh, Professor Gesner had suggested he apply for the scholarship. The letters would be ready, they both promised.
Dave drove the 23 miles to his home, where he spent much of the night filing out the forms. Ten days later he got word, he had the fellowship. He spent the next few years earning a master's degree and getting a good start on a doctorate.
Finally, he went looking for work. He received a phone call from Bill Crawford, the vice-president of Mount A. Dave had no idea where it was, but Professor Gesner did. She had family connections there.
Crawford had three teaching jobs in the history department to fill and he wanted the young American to fill one of them.
"Give you $8,000 a year," he said as part of his pitch.
Well, there are other job offers. New Hampshire. Maine.
"Anything Maine can do, we can do better, $8,500."
Dave Beatty sat on a chair in the kitchen of his summer home and laughed. He traveled halfway across the continent to a tiny school in a tiny town to teach history, he said, and shook his head in wonder.
But the administration left him alone to do what he'd discovered he loved to do. And that was exactly what he needed.
"Things turned out alright."
Yes, they did. He remarried, settled down for a second time and taught students like me until mandatory retirement drove him, kicking and screaming, from the classroom. Then he turned his energies to saving the tumbledown, 1840-something house he'd discovered near Northumberland Strait.
He hired a former biology student at Mount A who had a knack for careful carpentry to do the work. Mark turned the house with the rock basement and attached woodshed full of dry rot into a dazzling home of varnish and original wood.
Dave looked at me across the kitchen table and smiled again.
"And they've turned out alright for you, too."
Yes, they had. I'd enrolled in the teaching program at Mount A at one point, but quit before the year started. Joined the Leader, promising the publisher I'd stay a year if he helped me earn my masters degree, which he did. I stayed the better end of 20 years.
Now, after five years as a teacher, I smile each year when students in the journalism program tell me they're not sure if this is what they want to do with their lives. Some of them are just 20 years old.
"I didn't know what I wanted to order at McDonald's when I was 20," I tell them.
"So how did you figure out what you wanted to be?" someone always asks.
"I haven't," I laugh. "I guess I'll figure it out when I grow up."

CIETAC Hong Kong consults on draft guidelines on Third Party Funding
James Rogers (Norton Rose Fulbright LLP) and Matthew Townsend (Fangda Partners)/ August 13, 2016 September 17, 2019 /Leave a comment
On 23 May 2016, CIETAC's Hong Kong Arbitration Center (CIETAC HKAC) issued for public consultation draft Guidelines for third party funding (the draft Guidelines).
Third party funding (TPF) is a hot topic in Hong Kong. The draft Guidelines come in the wake of recent initiatives to clarify the law on TPF in the territory, including a Law Reform Commission (LRC) consultation paper issued on 19 October 2015.
The LRC consultation paper proposed that the Arbitration Ordinance (Cap 609) be amended to resolve the apparent ambiguity in Hong Kong law surrounding the permissibility of TPF. It also recommended the development of "clear ethical and financial standards for Third Party Funders providing Third Party Funding to parties to arbitrations taking place in Hong Kong".
CIETAC HKAC's draft Guidelines set out "certain principles of practice and conduct which CIETAC HKAC encourages parties and arbitrators to observe in respect of actual or anticipated arbitration proceedings in which there is or may be an element of third party funding" (guideline 1.1).
The draft Guidelines were drafted by a Working Group consisting of 11 arbitration practitioners, including the authors. They comprise three parts: the first sets out general principles, the second applies to parties seeking funding and the third applies to arbitrators in affected cases.
Guidelines 1.1-1.4 set out the scope and applicability of the Guidelines. Notably, guideline 1.4 establishes that they are non-binding in nature.
Guideline 1.2 adopts the following definition of 'third party funding':
"For the purposes of these Guidelines, third party funding ("Funding") arises when a professional third person or entity ("Funder") contributes funds, or other material support to a party in arbitration ("Funded party") and has a direct economic interest in the award to be rendered in the arbitration."
Guideline 1.3 clarifies that "Funding under these Guidelines does not arise merely because a party arranges financial support from a group company; procures insurance; and/or obtains legal services on a deferred or contingency basis".
Guidelines for parties
Guidelines 2.1-2.11 are aimed at parties who either seek or have obtained TPF. Under these provisions, such parties should:
(1) ensure that the terms and conditions of any funding arrangement are set out in a formal arbitration funding agreement (AFA) and obtain legal advice before doing so (guidelines 2.1 and 2.2);
(2) satisfy themselves as to the capital adequacy of any prospective funder and, if necessary, its incorporation (guidelines 2.3 and 2.4);
(3) conclude non-disclosure agreements with all prospective funders and generally consider the effects of any applicable confidentiality provisions or laws when applying for or negotiating the terms of funding (guidelines 2.5-2.7);
(4) consider "whether communications between itself and any prospective Funder may be disclosable in subsequent proceedings" and take early legal advice if necessary (guideline 2.8);
(5) disclose circumstances arising from any funding that "might give rise to any possible issues of conflict of interest under applicable laws and rules" (guideline 2.9); and
(6) consider the nature and extent of "the prospective funder's control over proceedings" and "the termination and withdrawal provisions under the prospective AFA" and take legal advice where necessary (guidelines 2.10 and 2.11).
Guidelines for arbitrators
Under guidelines 3.1-3.4, an arbitral tribunal:
(1) may, where it considers it appropriate, and in consideration of applicable laws or rules, invite (or in certain cases direct) any funded party to disclose its funding (guidelines 3.1 and 3.2);
(2) should, upon becoming aware of the existence of TPF in respect of any proceedings, "positively consider its own independence and impartiality in light of this information and take any such steps as are required under applicable laws or rules" (guideline 3.3); and
(3) may, "to the extent permitted by applicable laws or rules, consider the nature and extent of a parties' [sic] Funding as a relevant factor when considering any application for security for costs" (guideline 3.4).
The draft Guidelines are available at https://hkarbitration.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/cietac-draft-guidelines-17-may-16.pdf. The public consultation period concluded on 19 July 2016.

Agartala: Tripura CM Biplab Kumar Deb on Wednesday met a delegation of Amul Milk Union Limited in Agartala and sought to share expertise of the Gujarat-based dairy cooperative in developing dairy industry in the state.
After meeting Dr ST Deshai of Amul, the CM told reporters that he discussed prospects of developing the dairy industry and a milk-based economy in the state with the team.
"I am sure this initiative will help to solve unemployment to some extent in Tripura. It will also help in fulfilling demand of milk in the state. We shall make Tripura self-reliant in milk production in three years," he was quoted as saying by The Indian Express.


The financial sector is experiencing an influx of change and transition as technology becomes incorporated into more and more of its practices. Of course, the intention is to streamline processes and automate some of the more mundane tasks associated with everyday work in the field. It's an exciting time marked by a heightened need for new practices and the appropriate talent to operate it. The 2018 edition of Benchmarking Accounting and Finance Functions focuses on such trends and what it means for the sector as a whole.
How Does Technology Influence Accounting and Finance?
The financial sector is geared toward producing results. Now, more than ever before, there is a requirement to drive efficiency, reduce costs, and simultaneously create value. At the core of the changes are the finance leaders who are not only required to understand the technological changes but the regulations that seem to be created right alongside them.
It may not seem like such things are novel concepts in the accounting and finance world. The truth is, they aren't. However, the speed and intensity in which changes are being made are certainly something that working professionals have likely not experienced in their careers. Professionals, new and seasoned, can benefit from understanding the landscape of the industry and what those changes could mean for their future and the future of the sector.
Who would benefit from taking a look at the report? Seasoned professionals may have the business concepts down, but one of the hardest things for them will be learning the constantly changing technology that is impacting their work more than ever before. Novice professionals will also need to understand the bigger picture of how the technology works with the traditional approach to finance.
Staying abreast of the latest news in accounting and finance will help professionals have a stronger grasp of the climate of the industry. It could help people prepare for training and even understand the bigger picture of how changes could impact every day as well as the future of the work.

ASC 842 produces a substantial overhaul of the previous accounting treatment for leases, ASC 840, with the most significant change being that most leases will now be capitalized on the balance sheet. The goal of ASC 842 is to provide lenders and institutional investors with increased visibility into the leasing obligations of lessees.
Under the previous US GAAP regulation, leases were classified as either Operating Leases or Capital Leases. While Capital Leases were recorded on the company's balance sheet, the Operating Leases were not. The new/current ASC 842 standard changes the types of classifications and the balance sheet treatment. With the new standards, both classifications of leases, Finance and Operating, will be on the balance sheet.
The transition period for most public companies began with the accounting period starting on or after January 1st, 2019. However, most private companies and some other entities have until 2020 to make the change.
The new regulation requires extensive disclosures to increase transparency related to revenues and expenses regarding lease contracts. Lease entities are now required to identify whether a contract contains a lease when it is initiated. A contract is defined as a lease if it gives the lessee the right to "control" the use of property in exchange for consideration.
This definition differs from the previous guideline, GAAP, that required the lessee to meet only the 1st requirement. Under the new standard, it's up to the entity to determine whether it obtains the "right to direct the use" of the asset.
A comprehensive approach to compiling data is crucial to helping auditors understand how organizations have reached their lease determinations. Companies will need to consider details not typically thought of as leases, including outsourced warehousing, data management, or supply arrangements. These may be subject to the new guidance and therefore require capitalization.
There are still some fuzzy ASC 842 details that need to be ironed out. For example, an approach where the lessee models out its incremental borrowing rate for a standard property mortgage has been suggested.
Additionally, for companies with large numbers of leases, for example a national retailer with leased stores in several locations. An approach where leases/with similar characteristics get grouped into cohorts, and its value is calculated on a portfolio basis has been suggested.
However these fixes are addressed, ASC 842 promises to make 2019 a learning experience in leasing activity.

Many of the best performers in the workplace aren't necessarily the individuals that spend the most time at their desk. In fact, a surprising number of wildly productive employees spends quality time away from their office chairs.
Communication is a two-way street. We need to be able to effectively send our own messages in addition to receiving messages from the people around us. Effective listening is a multi-step process, highlighting your ability to hear, comprehend, and clarify the information that you are receiving. Effective listening skills can help you quickly identify what the big issues are and allow you to quickly circle in on a solution.
Individuals that can quickly and accurately identify and interpret nonverbal communication often find themselves a step ahead of their peers. Being able to accurately read the temperature of a room, enables you to answer questions or concerns before they have even been voiced.
If your audience is suddenly attentive and focused, you may have hit on some keywords that they are really interested in. This can allow you to go into more depth on the important topics. Conversely, if your audience is checking out or looking at their watches, you know that this isn't the time to delve deeply into an issue.
Communication doesn't always deal with easy topics. If discussions are heated or tense, your ability to safely navigate through a conversation can not only save a client but can end up being a net benefit to your relationship. Showing empathy can let others see that you truly understand their issues and that you respect the position that they are in.
Today's workplace is full of different generations of tech-savvy individuals. Younger coworkers or clients may be disinclined to work face to face, but may prefer text messages, while other people will be offended if you send an e-mail about an important topic. Learning your audience and their preferred method of communication can be key.
Success for finance professionals doesn't come easy. It requires a unique blend of both technical and soft skills rarely found in one individual. While technical skills are easy to identify and can then be obtained, the required soft skills are often nebulous and hard to grasp even once explained. Below are 5 tips that have guided me throughout my successful career in finance.
This is what separates successful finance professionals from the rest. When you think like an investor, you care. You care why products are not performing to forecast and you care when a new product launch gets delayed. You find out what caused the delay and if there's anything that can be done about it. After all, you want to get the greatest return on your investment that you can!
One of the earliest and most common ways information was passed between individuals was through the use of stories. As a finance professional, you are a vendor of information and must utilize the power of stories to summarize and explain results in a memorable way. Second tier finance professionals just recite facts and figures which, in their raw form, can be disinteresting and difficult to extract meaning from. When management starts looking to you early and often to tell the story, you know you're on the path to success.
A finance professional without credibility will quickly find themselves unemployed. As previously stated, finance professionals are vendors of information and sometimes our source of information is incorrect or incomplete. "Trust but verify" is the attitude often quoted by finance professionals to reflect the fine line we walk between trusting the people and processes which provide us information and validating the accuracy of the information as we vet the data.
Materiality – How large is the change?
Cause – Why is the narrative changing?
Timing – Why now/why wasn't this discovered sooner?
Solution – What will prevent this from happening again?
Scope – How do we know this isn't happening anywhere else?
Some items warrant our attention regardless of how material they are…these are often the "flavor of the week." It can be anything that catches upper management's eye and will receive extra scrutiny for the foreseeable future until usurped by the next flavor of the week. Being able to read between the lines of corporate initiatives, acquisitions, and questions from management, will help you identify the new flavor. Being able to tell the latest story shows that you are in tune with leadership and, if you can improve the metric, management and other finance professionals will note that you have the influence to drive positive change in your organization.

Creating your resume is never a never-ending process. In addition to updating work experience and skills, keywords should be another area of concern. Strategic keyword placement, when done correctly can help ensure that your resume makes it through the automated applicant tracking systems (ATS) that most employers are now using. As well as, stand out to the hiring manager if your resume makes it through the ATS to their desk. But, there are a few general rules to follow.
While keywords can be beneficial in making sure that your resume is taken seriously, poor placement can also get it thrown in the trash. Individuals who cram keywords together, use unnecessary fluff, or put them at the bottom of the page aren't going to be getting as many calls as those that strategically use them. Experts recommend that you scatter the right keywords throughout the resume.
However, as screeners scan your resume, they usually start at the top and work their way down. This means that if they don't see something they like in the top third of the page, the rest of your resume may never be looked at.
Each time you apply for a position is an opportunity to connect, so you should consider modifying your resume for every position that you apply for. This doesn't mean that you have to create a document from scratch, but you should tailor your resume to the job. Scan through the job posting and write down all of the different words that stick out to you, and then tailor your resume using those keywords.
While selecting keywords, it can be equally important to make sure not to include some phrases that can be seen as negative by experienced resume reviewers. Phrases like "results-driven" or "goal-oriented" aren't great descriptors for potential employees. Instead, focus on specific, and measurable instances that convey those points.
Additionally, don't just use a thesaurus to change words. Personalizing your resume to the position can help your resume stand out from the rest and get you the job you want!
Hiring Managers, you know that it can be difficult to find the right job candidates in this competitive job market. However, you know that hiring the right candidate enhances work culture and increases productivity so, you don't want to settle.
Thankfully, you can use a few simple tricks and tools to help make sure that the right job candidates are applying.
Don't just write a list of duties. Highlight a positive company culture that will catch their attention, followed by a detailed job description. Again not just a list. Include real-time experiences that they will be a part of.
As you look to fill a new position, it is important to understand what qualities have been successful within the company. Talk to different managers and employees to find out what they feel the best employees bring to the table. A good understanding of the specific traits that make for productive employees in this environment can help you target your audience more closely.
Employee referrals can be a powerful tool for finding new employees.
According to the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM), about 1 of every 2 employers offers a referral bonus program. It's in an employee's best interest to recommend people who are skilled and responsible candidates.
Look into an applicant tracking system (ATS) that can help you streamline the process. When programmed correctly, they will filter resume keywords so that only the job candidates who match your skill requirements make it though. Saving hours of reviewing unqualified applicant resumes.
Partner-up with an Accounting & Finance Staffing Firm.
A top rated accounting and finance staffing agency understands the ins-and-outs of the accounting and finance candidate market and has a database of job candidates that they have vetted for you.
Technology is paving the way for the newest developments in auditing and accounting. It seems as soon as one cutting-edge concept is developed another one is already emerging. This type of advancement has not been seen in the industry in decades.
The entire sector is interested in learning more about how technology influences the financial reporting industry. There is much to learn from professionals such as Ryan Teeter, Clinical Assistant Professor of Accounting Information Systems at the University of Pittsburg. His background in technology and accounting is the ideal vantage point to learn from.
Teeter says that many advances are due to hobby projects that are started by auditors. From there, it grows into a more complex system that is used throughout a bigger portion of the workplace or the industry as a whole. The most popular systems created are those that streamline and automate routine tasks.
There is always the concern that automation may lead to the need for fewer people. However, while automating some of the tasks could be beneficial and time-saving, there is still a need for human judgment and decision-making. The technology may be able to get the analytics, but there will still be a need for people to evaluate it.
We see technology become a helpful asset in auditing and accounting. It can be used to streamline some of the processes without totally disregarding the need for accountants and auditors. Technology should be considered a tool and not a replacement for the professional. However, it will be critical for professionals to learn and adapt to new technologies as they become more and more incorporated in the financial sector.

6 versements de 5,16 € avec splitit En apprendre plus
Many years ago, nine humans were captured and transformed into cyborgs for the purposes of becoming agents of evil. Instead, they rebelled, becoming champions of justice anytime the earth was in need.
Now, in a post-9/11 world, the meaning of "justice" has become clouded. The cyborgs, untouched by time, and some without memory of their status as heroes have since taken up lives as ordinary civilians. But when a mysterious force is known only as "His Voice" compels people across the world to commit unspeakable acts of violence, even cyborg 009, Joe Shimamura, falls victim to the irresistible faceless power. In an era when cyber-terrorism is rapidly advancing, how can the cyborgs combat an enemy that has no face, no weapons, and seemingly no motive?

How Cities Can Save Money by Providing Lawyers for Tenants Facing Eviction
The city of Philadelphia has launched a pilot program that provides legal services for low-income tenants in housing court—and it's already seeing results.

Landlord-tenant court is a notoriously nasty place. In New York, for example, housing court has become a tool of landlords trying to push out rent-controlled tenants. In Philadelphia, one out of every 14 tenants faces eviction every year, and those fights play out in housing court.
Those legal battles are costly for the city, and often confusing for tenants who don't always know the law and procedures, and struggle to keep up with the jargon. Low-income tenants especially face difficulties since they cannot afford lawyers.
But a new study put together by the consulting firm Stout, and ordered by the Philadelphia Bar Association, could make headway into changing that. The report looks into the costs and benefits of providing city-sponsored lawyers to low-income tenants facing eviction. In 2017, Philadelphia began a pilot program providing these services to low-income tenants in specific zip codes.
"In the past year and a half we've seen major improvements in awareness and investment by the city in housing and eviction issues," says Rasheedah Phillips, a lawyer who represents low-income tenants in Philadelphia.
The findings are dramatic: By investing less than $4 million into providing universal access to counsel for low-income tenants facing eviction, the report estimates that the city could save $45.2 million annually by drastically reducing the number of disruptive evictions, so named because they painfully disrupt the lives of the tenants evicted.
Disruptive evictions cost the city in many ways: It incurs education, juvenile justice, and welfare costs associated with homeless children; the costs of social services for tenants who lose their jobs because of disruptive evictions; increased law enforcement and incarceration costs associated with larger homeless populations; and homelessness services costs.
But the costs to tenants are even higher. Tenants who are evicted often take huge hits to their credit scores that affect their ability to rent again, and they can lose their subsidized housing vouchers. Moreover, children who endure evictions often lose significant time from school, or switch schools mid-year. And in some of the neighborhoods with the highest eviction levels, evictions lead to community instability.
According to the report, only 5 percent of tenants who have attorneys are actually evicted because of eviction proceedings. But among those who aren't represented, that number balloons to an astounding 78 percent. That's what strains the city's budget. Here's what the report says:
Preventing tenants from experiencing displacement or disruption arising from eviction leads to: reductions in shelter costs, hospital costs (emergency room and impatient), mental health costs, juvenile delinquency, and the number of eviction cases.
And then there are costs to the courts. "Those who use our legal services tend to be people who are repeat clients," Phillips said. "Having an attorney allows us to look at the issues ahead and work to minimize the barriers that might bring the person back to court again."
This is one of the ways universal access to representation for low-income tenants facing eviction could help keep costs down. If fewer cases even make it to court, the courts save money.
Philadelphia is still a long way away from transforming its pilot program into something available to all tenants. But the report will help, Phillips says. "The Stout report will go a long way toward justifying the need, but it's a major investment in something that you don't have upfront results for."
Advocates in Philadelphia do have an example to look at. In August of 2017, New York City became the first city in the nation to provide universal access to representation for low-income tenants. A five-year pilot program that reduced evictions in the zip codes it served by nearly 30 percent, and the activism that surrounded it, led to the passing of Local Law 137.
"There's a general nationwide movement to provide legal services for low-income individuals in a wide variety of areas," says Ethan Fogel, a lawyer who worked between Stout and Philadelphia's legal aid programs to create the report. The constitution enshrines the right to an attorney in all criminal proceedings, and activists have long sought to expand those protections to important civil areas like housing court, family court, and others.
In Philadelphia, they're well on their way. Phillips points to a supportive city council and mayor, who created a task force on eviction prevention in 2017. The struggle will be scaling the pilot program quickly and efficiently to serve more people. Fogel is optimistic.
"I don't see that there should be obstacles. There are logistical issues to work out, but I think this report is so supportive," he says. "I hope I'm right."

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO TRANSFER EXPERTISE?
What is expertise? It doesn't help just to call it "tacit knowledge". There are many types of tacit knowledge, and many possible ways of dealing with it. To get a handle on how to transfer expertise (or accelerate the acquisition of expertise), we need to understand its mechanics. What makes an expert different from a novice? How do they read complex and challenging situations differently from others, what drives their decision making, and how do they make the key decisions that make them effective? In this talk, Gary Klein gives an overview of the elements of expertise, and describes a method called ShadowBox for capturing key elements of expertise into learning scenarios that can help others acquire new cognitive skills and make the mindset changes necessary for them to become more effective in their roles. He gave examples from his work with law enforcement, healthcare and social services.
Gary Klein, Ph.D., author of Sources of Power: How People Make Decisions, and four other books plus three co-edited volumes, is known for the cognitive models he described, such as the Recognition-Primed Decision (RPD) model, the Data/Frame model of sensemaking, the Management By Discovery model of planning in complex settings, and the Triple Path Model of Insight. He developed methods including the PreMortem method of risk assessment, techniques for Cognitive Task Analysis, the ShadowBox training approach, and also pioneered the Naturalistic Decision Making movement in 1989. Dr. Klein has decades of work experience examining how expertise works in dozens of work domains, including miltary, healthcare, and emergency response.
The company he started in 1978, Klein Associates, grew to 37 employees by the time he sold it in 2005. He kicked off his new company, ShadowBox LLC, in 2014. His hobbies include handball, watching movies, and the Asian game of Go. You can find all of Gary's books, publications, and more at www.gary-klein.com

Akshay Kumar's calendar quandary
Entertainment, Bollywood
Akshay Kumar has a whopping number of six releases slated for release, after switching around the dates to avoid clashing with other big films.
His next release is going to be Sooryavanshi on March 27 – a date announced by Salman Khan for producer-director Rohit Shetty. This will be followed by Laxmmi Bomb opposite Salman Khan's film Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai on May 22, an Eid release. Then comes Prithviraj on November 13 this year. Prithviraj is a period film, Akshay's second after Kesari last year. The film has been directed by Dr Chandraprakash Dwivedi and co-stars former Miss World Manushi Chhillar.
Our source explains: "The best part is the first four months of 2021 will also see three releases from Akshay, which sounds like a surfeit and not really a great idea as one expects some gap between these films. In fact, there is not much of a gap between the release of Bachchan Pandey on January 22, 2021, and Aanand L Rai's Atrangi Re that releases on February 12, 2021, which also has Dhanush and Sara Ali Khan in it. Seven weeks later, we will see Bell Bottom, which is yet another period film releasing on April 2, 2021. Interestingly, his look in the film is similar to the one in Action Replayy, which was a fiction set by Vipul Shah years ago. But then, this actually means that there are three Akshay Kumar releases in ten weeks, and so if any film starts doing well, it will cannibalise another film of his."
Meanwhile, spokespersons at Yash Raj Films say that that there is no plan as such to make Dhoom 4 at the moment, so perhaps that film can be scrapped from the Akshay Kumar film list till any official announcement is made.
