NT Eyed as Windows-to-Linux Migration Link
By Alexander Wolfe
Thanks to explosive growth in the market for Linux servers, more IT
managers are pondering what might be involved in a Windows to Linux migration.
In a bid to turn potential interest into action, Linux support shops such as IBM and Timesys are trying to nudge customers off the fence about whether to switch. In the process, they have their eye on Windows NT, which is being phased out as an older enterprise operating system, as a potential in for Linux.
For example, IBM has been touting its
Windows-to-Linux roadmap. And Timesys has rolled out five
white papers discussing the 2.6 kernel.
"The transition from Windows to Linux is sort of a techno-political event," explained Chris Walden, author of the
IBM roadmap and an ebusiness architect in the company's developer
relations group. "There are technical, business, and economic reasons wrapped up in
there, and you're also changing traditions."
IBM and other Linux supporters point to data indicating increased adoption of Linux as a way to raise the question of migration. Though
market analysts IDC said last fall that Windows will maintain its position as the dominant server operating systems through 2007 (with a 55.1 percent share in 2002, the most recent year for which figures were available), IDC reckons Linux server shipments accounted for 23.1 percent of worldwide sales in 2002.
Tech research firm Gartner reports that Linux machines were the highest growth sector of the server market in 2003. Last year, HP and IBM each saw a 60 percent rise in Linux system sales. HP's revenue in that market rose to $927 million, compared to $581 million in 2002. IBM's grew to $552 million, from $345 million year-over-year.
For its part, IBM sees opportunity for more Linux uptake in a particular server sector: Microsoft's Windows NT. Microsoft has given customers 12 months' notice that it will officially end support of the eight-year-old NT 4.0 on Dec. 31, 2004. "The users of Windows NT 4.0 realize they have to move somewhere by the end of this year," said Adam Jollans, Linux strategy manager at IBM. "Microsoft wants them to move onto Server 2003. But they also realize that now they've got a choice, and Linux may make sense in a number of cases."
Gartner server analyst George Weiss said this may be a group of Windows users most amenable to a Linux switch. "IBM is targeting the
right market, older installations that are virtually obsolete," he said. However, he added that many of those sites might be likely to stick with Windows and upgrade to Server 2000. "For those that are Windows shops, and that are very production focused in terms of applications and databases, I don't think there's going to be much movement," he said.
Still, Weiss said, "IBM doesn't target anything that's less
than a multimillion dollar opportunity." So Big Blue must believe it has a good shot at some wins. "Every win for Linux is a new opportunity for IBM to sell software and services," he added.
Page 2: The 2.6 Factor
Until recently, several factors worked against Linux regarding Windows-to-Linux decisions.
First, Linux wasn't considered ready for enterprise level applications. But the release of a more stable and enterprise-ready
2.6.x kernel last December has ushered in more mainstreaming of
Linux.
"I think 2.6 is quite significant, not only in terms of stability
and range of hardware it supports, but also in terms of the spectrum of uses to which it can be put," said William von Hagen, senior product manager at
embedded Linux company Timesys Corporation. "At the small end, it has support for
systems that don't have a memory management unit (MMU) . At the high end, it's scalable, with support for multiprocessors."
But another stumbling block for Linux has been confusion about sourcing. "One of the things that's held up adoption has been that there have been many
different distributions," explained von Hagen. "I think now the
distributions are coalescing."
Distributed Distro Approach
IBM's Walden believes IT managers should avoid becoming too
dependent on any one provider and remain focused on maintaining good Linux compatibility. "I personally in my technical consultations advocate being as distribution agnostic as possible," he said.
Agnosticism is beneficial, according to Walden, "Because you don't
know for certain the direction in which Red Hat or SuSE is going to go. Red Hat has had
a couple of twists and turns lately in their approach to things, and
yourself into a particular distribution is no different than locking
yourself into Windows — you haven't gained anything. So having
flexibility,
and being centered on the technology of Linux, means that as changes
occur,
you'll have the ability to be swift on your feet and make a move if it
sense to do so."
Another long-time Linux bugbear that its supporters are addressing is its reputation as a difficult installation process. "I think it's much easier than ever before," said Timesys's von Hagen. "If you look at Red Hat, SuSE, or Mandrake, their installers are really quite mature as far as detecting hardware and automatically customizing your system."
While Linux may be becoming more Windows-like in terms of
ease-of-use, both Walden and von Hagen emphasized that key differences remain between the operating systems.
"One of the key things people have to keep in mind is, Linux was
designed from the get-go to live on a network," explained Walden. In contrast, Windows was originally architected as file-and-printer oriented software.
"When you start out with Linux, you have a great deal of
that is built into the system because of that network philosophy,"
said. "Devices are spoken to as nodes, which can be accessed on the
system or on a remote system." He also pointed to Linux's layered
design, in which the graphical interface is layered on top of the shell interface, which in turn resides on top of the device interface.
"Some of that is true of the Windows architecture, but it's not
really exposed to the user as easily as it is within the Linux environment," Walden said.
For many IT managers, the Windows versus Linux equation may not be
an either/or situation. According to Gartner analyst Weiss, users that have gone down the Windows path "with any degree of seriousness" for mission-critical applications are not likely to scuttle their setups.
But a company — particularly if it has an advocate in its chief
information officer– may add in Linux if it's seen as filling a
pressing need. "A site may go to two branches," Weiss explained. "There may be Windows apps in some branches and Linux, for example, in the infrastructure." He pointed to the open-source Apache Web server as one infrastructure application that could drive adoption.
Moving forward, IT decisions about Linux are likely to revolve
around complex business and technical assessments, as opposed to the
simplistic religious arguments of pervious years.
"In terms of why we're seeing customers moving from NT to Linux,
reliability, security, and flexibility seem to be the drivers, rather
than cost of ownership," said IBM's Jollans.
"Microsoft's effective strategy is high uptime availability and
enhanced security," said Weiss, speaking of Windows Server 2003. "There's a perception that Linux is a great [total cost of ownership] proposition. It can be in some
cases, but it may not be in others."

December 2016 Heroes of the Month: The Journalists Who Risk Their Lives Every Day Reporting on Events in the Middle East Conflict and Russia
Two circumstances converged to prompt this month's tribute:
• The tenth Anniversary of my work with Dr. Judea Pearl seeking to defeat the Boycott, Divestment and Sanction movement against Israel in the Presbyterian Church (PCUSA), and
• My daughter Veronica's gift of Lawrence Wright's latest book: The Terror Years, From Al-Qaeda to the Islamic State.
Dr. Judea Pearl and his wife Ruth lost their son, Danny Pearl, an investigative reporter for the Wall Street Journal, in Pakistan in 2002 when he was kidnapped and then beheaded by Al-Qaeda. Danny was assassinated not only for his American and Jewish heritage but, most importantly, for his fearless reporting on events in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Lawrence Wright is a very talented journalist who is perhaps best known for his Pulitzer Prize-winning book, The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11. Wright dedicated his sequel, The Terror Years, to several extraordinarily courageous young people who risked their lives to report on middle eastern conflicts and the enormous humanitarian crisis those conflicts have generated. Those courageous journalists include James Foley and Steve Sotloff, both of whom were kidnapped, held hostage for long periods, and then beheaded by ISIS in August and September 2014.
To this month's heroes, I have added one other reporter whose courage and legacy deserves mention. Anna Politkovskaya was assassinated in Russia in 2002 for her fearless reporting of the despotic regime of Vladimir Putin and the atrocities his regime committed in the Second War in Chechnya (1999-2000). Anna's story is representative of the 150 journalists who have been assassinated in Russia since Putin's ascendency. They have lost their lives for telling the truth about the ongoing corruption and human rights abuses of the Russian government under Putin's leadership.
The type of Investigative reporting that these brave souls provided is critical to the survival of democracy and western civilization as we know it. In response to their horrific deaths at the hands of Islamic terrorists and despotic regimes, these reporters' loved ones have created powerful legacies that will not soon be forgotten.
Danny Pearl
Daniel Pearl graduated from Stanford in 1985 and then learned his craft as a reporter in western Massachusetts for the North Adams Transcript and the Berkshire Eagle. In 1990, he joined the Wall Street Journal; in 1999, he was appointed its South Asia Bureau Chief. Working from his headquarters in Mumbai, India, Danny made numerous trips to Pakistan to report on Islamic fundamentalism and Al-Qaeda's role in the region. As mentioned above, while he was working in Pakistan, he was captured and then killed by Al-Qaeda in 2002. Danny was just 38 years old, but in his work he had experienced as much as someone twice his age. His only child, Adam, was born four months after his death. Angelina Jolie produced, directed and starred in a feature length film that told his story from the perspective of his wife, Mariane.
I had the privilege of getting to know Danny's father, Judea Pearl, in 2006. From Judea I learned about his family's commitment to preserve Danny's legacy in a way that is both healing to them and beneficial to mankind. Dr Pearl is a long-time tenured professor at UCLA specializing in the research and development of artificial intelligence. After Danny's death, he and his wife Ruth established the Daniel Pearl Foundation, dedicated to promoting cultural understanding through journalism, music and dialogue. Judea regularly travels around the country with a Muslim Iman; they speak together about the need for religious and cultural tolerance. Those talks have reached thousands and been very well received. In addition, the Foundation established a Danny Pearl World Music Day that thus far has held over 1500 concerts in 60 countries, again for the purpose of promoting understanding and respect for different cultures and religions. These are but a few of the many efforts to honor Danny.
To appreciate the magnitude of their impact, check out Danny's and Judea's biographies on Wikipedia.
Over the last twenty years Russia has become the deadliest country in the world for journalists.
Anna Politkovskaya was the daughter of two Soviet (Ukrainian) parents who worked as diplomats at the United Nations. She graduated with a journalism degree from a Moscow university. When she was assassinated in 2002 at the age of 48 she was famous throughout Russia for her biweekly column in the Noraya Gazette, a newspaper well known for its investigative journalism and fearless reporting of the despotic post-Soviet Russia dominated by Vladimir Putin.
Anna survived nine assassination attempts, including two poisonings, before she was gunned down at point-blank range in the stairwell of her Moscow apartment. She left behind two adult daughters.
Anna was known for her reporting from the battlefields of the Second War in Chechnya, in which she depicted a conflict that brutalized both Chechnyan fighters and conscript soldiers of the Russian Army and created a living hell for the civilians caught between them.
Of her coverage of Putin and his mafia/thug henchmen, she once said prophetically: "We are hurtling back into a Soviet abyss. If anybody thinks they can take comfort from a more optimistic forecast, let them do so. It is certainly the easier way, but it is a death sentence for our grandchildren."
No one was convicted of her murder until twelve years later, but the Russian prosecutors showed no interest in trying to find out who ordered or paid for her contract killing.
The director of a biographical film of Anna's life eloquently stated at its preview: "Hers was a lonely voice for victim's of Putin's government, but loud enough for the entire country to hear. It was too loud for her own safety. We desperately need more people with Anna's courage, integrity and commitment to tell the truth."
For further information about Anna, please see her biography on Wikipedia, read her book "A Russian Diary" (published posthumously by Random House) or watch one of the several outstanding documentaries about her life that include interviews with her daughters and ex-husband Alex. Many video interviews with Anna and/or her supporters are also available by searching for Anna Politkovskaya on YouTube.
Jim Foley was born to a devout Catholic family in Illinois. At the time of his death at age 40 he had spent a long and distinguished career in journalism covering the middle east for several major news organizations. For five years, he had reported from Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria, often under exceedingly dangerous conditions. He was once captured and held hostage for 44 days in Libya by Gaddafi loyalists who resented his coverage of that regime in the months leading up to Gaddafi's fall.
Before he was murdered by ISIS in Syria, Jim had been held hostage for almost two years.
After his death, Jim's parents and friends rallied to preserve his legacy. They established the James W. Foley Legacy Fund to provide resources for families of other Americans held hostage in the middle east and to support American journalists reporting from conflict zones. Jim's alma mater, Marquette University established the James Foley Scholarship at their Diedrich College of Journalism. An excellent documentary about Jim's life was released in 2016. For his acclaimed 2016 album, Sting wrote a song titled "The Empty Chair" in James' honor.
For more information about Jim, please see his biography on Wikipedia or the documentary: "Jim: The James Foley Story" made by one of his childhood friends and shown on HBO.
Steven Sotloff
Steven Sotloff was born in Florida and held dual American and Israeli citizenship. He was 31 when he was murdered by ISIS while serving as a free lance journalist in Syria. He had previously spent time in numerous middle eastern countries, including Qatar, Turkey, Yemen, Libya, Bahrain and Egypt.
Steve was best known for reporting that the 2012 Benghazi attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stephens, and two brave American soldiers (Tyrone Woods and Glen Doughtery) was not in response to a protest over a video, as repeatedly asserted by President Obama, Secretary Clinton, and National Security Advisor Susan Rice, but rather was part of a well- planned attack by Islamic militias. Steve also foresaw the massive Syrian refugee crisis as he reported on everyday civilian suffering in Syria, earning him the reputation as "The Voice for the Voiceless." He was described by those who worked with him as a gentle man who was devoted to covering the humanitarian tragedy of the middle east conflicts. He humbly referred to himself as "a stand-up philosopher from Miami." He had been held hostage for over a year before his death.
Like the families of Danny Pearl and James Foley, his parents and friends also rallied to preserve his legacy. They created the Steven Joel Sotloff Memorial 2LIVES Foundation in his honor, to help train journalists in war zones to better protect themselves and to promote freedom of the press in the middle east.
Once again, to fully appreciate his life and his story, please turn to Wikipedia for his biography.
In conclusion, these were four of the very best and bravest, who risked their lives as civilians to help others by exposing the truth about what ordinary people were enduring in conflict zones throughout the middle east and Russia. They are my heroes of the month and serve as worthy representatives of hundreds of other journalists still serving in the these regions. Let us resolve never to forget their sacrifice, the nobility of their parents' response, and the ongoing need to protect their colleagues.. — Jim
On October 23, 2017, a very brave young Russian journalist, Tatyana Felgenhauer, was attacked. She worked for the largest remaining independent radio network in Russia, Echo Moskvy; it had a long history of challenging Vladimir Putin. Tatyana was stabbed by an unknown assailant in her Moscow studio and is presently in a drug induced coma. Her story has become all too familiar as Putin proceeds to assassinate all of his opponents in and outside the media. My heartfelt prayers for Tatyana and her family.

CLUB CONNECTIONS – LUTON TOWN
Ahead of this Saturday's clash we profile two players who have featured for both Cambridge United and this weekend's visitors Luton Town during their playing careers.
The clash with the Hatters is an all ticket fixture, with supporters able to secure their place online until 12pm Saturday and in person at the ticket office until 5pm Friday.
CLUB CONNECTIONS (Read more in this weekend's programme):
STEVE CLARIDGE
Having played for no less than 21 football clubs during his extensive 29-year playing career, it is perhaps no surprise that Claridge featured both in the amber of Cambridge United and orange of Luton Town.
The striker spent a short period at Kenilworth Road in 1992, in between spells with the U's making 16 appearances for the Hatters and finding the back of the net on two occasions. Meanwhile, Claridge featured prominently in a successful two years for United between 1990-92, making 79 appearances and scoring 28 goals in his first spell.
He returned to the club five months later from Luton, for a further two seasons adding 53 more appearances and taking his goal tally up to 46 in amber and black.
Legendary Cambridge United Manager Chris Turner was a stalwart in defence for both Cambridge United and Luton Town during his playing career.
Having come through the ranks with Peterborough United, Turner made the switch across the Atlantic to join Connecticut Bicentennial in 1977 before joining New England Tea Men a year later. He returned to English football ahead of the 1978-79 season to team up with the Hatters, making 30 appearances and registering an impressive five goals.
After a brief spell back in the United States, Turner arrived in Cambridge in 1979 for his first spell with the U's and went on to amass 90 appearances across two periods with United.

This weekend we hit up The Point in search of a kitchen cart/island type thing. Which I am pleased to say we found and went home very happy. Life in my kitchen just got way easier! In our search I came across some flower planters and hose pots made from an inside out tire. I thought these where pretty cool and a nice twist from the traditional tire planter. Yes anyone could make these! All you would need is a sharp object, paint and a tire. But honestly the thought of trying to turn a tire inside out in the hot sun and then scallop the edges to look like a flower sounds like a lot of work that I am willing to pay for. I bought the hose pot shown above. I keep looking at hose pots, hangers and reels at the hardware store but nice ones are bucks and the cheap ones look like they'll break in no time. Plus I like funky things and now I have a place for the hose.

Octavian is power-hungry and seizes control of the camp after Reyna goes looking for the Athena Parthenos. Inspirations and origins[ edit ] After realizing how many Greek and Roman myths he had left untouched as well the immense success of the original series, Riordan began writing a second series, using inspiration for his storyline from experiences that he and his children had while playing video and role-playing games such as World of Warcraft and Scion.
After creating the storyline, Riordan created three new main characters—Jason, Piper, and Leo—but continued to use the previous main characters such as Annabeth and Grover as secondary characters.
Although initially uncertain how fans would react, Riordan later found that they enjoyed the new format, as it allowed them to learn more about each character. He pondered on how the Roman aspect of the gods would be after moving from Greece to Rome to America.
After a while, "playing with that idea gave me the idea for the new series".

Beginning at the "other" camp for half-bloods and extending as far north as the land beyond the gods, this breathtaking second installment in the Heroes of Olympus series introduces new demigods, revives fearsome monsters, and features other remarkable creatures, all of whom are destined to play a part in the most important quest of all: the Prophecy of Seven.

Lexile Measure: L What's this? This is the second in the series, following the introduction of the Roman hero, Jason Grace. As expected, Percy joins up with Roman forces and we are introduced to two new main characters: Frank Zhang and Hazel Levesque. As usual in a Riordan tale, the perspective changes from chapter to chapter among the main protagonists. Riordan is maturing nicely as a writer, and each new book shows an emerging style that is both engaging and descriptive.
Fans of previous Riordan books will find familiar elements, such as nods to popular culture. For instance, in Seattle the heroes find that.
Educational elements are skillfully intertwined in Riordan books, and this one is no exception. Young readers are introduced to Greek and Roman mythology and pick up quite a bit of classical detail despite the fact the story is modernized to a considerable extent. Even though the story is dealing with pagan gods of antiquity, quite a few Christian elements shine through, such as love, friendship, and shared sacrifice.

Character development remains strong, and retains typical Riordan memes such as teen angst and finding ones purpose in life albeit from a demigod's perspective. Fans will enjoy most all aspects of learning about and caring for Zhang and Levesque as well as other minor characters.

My biggest beef with the site version of the novel I downloaded was the plethora of typos. Odd paragraph breaks were very common, and words were often smashed together to the point of distraction. For instance, here's part of a sentence that typifies mistakes in the text: " Leo has a way with tools. His new cabin at Camp Half-Blood is filled with them. Seriously, the place beats Wilderness School hands down, with its weapons training, monsters, and fine-looking girls.
Weirdest of all, his bunkmates insist they are all—including Leo—related to a god.
Seven half-bloods shall answer the call, To storm or fire the world must fall. An oath to keep with a final breath, And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death.
Who are the other four mentioned in the prophecy? The answer may lie in another camp miles away, where a new camper has shown up and appears to be the son of Neptune, god of the sea….
With an ever-expanding cast of brave-hearted heroes and formidable foes, this second book in The Heroes of Olympus series offers all of the action, pathos, and humor that Rick Riordan fans crave. Annabeth is terrified. Annabeth hopes that the sight of their praetor Jason on deck will reassure the Romans that the visitors from Camp Half-Blood are coming in peace. In her pocket Annabeth carries a gift from her mother that came with an unnerving demand: Follow the Mark of Athena.
Avenge me. Annabeth already feels weighed down by the prophecy that will send seven demigods on a quest to find—and close— the Doors of Death.
What more does Athena want from her? Does he still need his old friends? As the daughter of the goddess of war and wisdom, Annabeth knows she was born to be a leader, but never again does she want to be without Seaweed Brain by her side.
Narrated by four different demigods, The Mark of Athena is an unforgettable journey across land and sea to Rome, where important discoveries, surprising sacrifices, and unspeakable horrors await.Shelve The Demigod Diaries.

A Single Contact… A World of Options
Our NPAworldwide membership allows us to be your single point of contact for all of your hiring needs, globally. Whether you need to fill a single position outside of our core specialty or source talent overseas, your search requirements can be supported by 500 partner firms.
NPAworldwide is a network of boutique recruitment firms located across 6 continents. Members work cooperatively to fill your talent needs locally, regionally, and internationally.
NPAworldwide is owned by its members, so each firm is vested in the long-term sustainability and success of the network. Trust, reliability and integrity are hallmarks of our cooperative environment.
Here are a few examples of staffing success.
Making the Right Connections #706 - Credit Card VP
Company required a hard to find executive. A large financial services firm in Connecticut owned by an international bank needed an executive vice president for their credit card division.
The Action:
NPAworldwide members connect. The vice president of staffing for the financial services firm contacted an NPAworldwide member in Cincinnati, OH, which had previously provided staffing assistance to them. The Ohio recruiting firm did not have direct credit card experience, but was able to partner with an NPAworldwide firm in Ontario that specializes in that industry to identify candidates for the position.
Search completed faster and more efficiently. The two recruiting firms met with the client to present an initial pool of qualified candidates and to determine an interview process. Due to the speedy response, a second job order was also shared with the Ohio firm. Additional candidates were presented and interviews began within three weeks. Both positions were filled by the Ohio-Ontario NPAworldwide team. During the search process, the client declared, "We have never had a search firm provide us with this many qualified candidates in such a short period of time for a position at this level."
Making the Right Connections #186 - Excellence is a Habit
Manufacturing Company Needs Experienced Candidates Overseas. A US-based company has multiple international openings for manufacturing, sales, and services operations roles.
NPAworldwide Member Develops Standardized Processes and Tools. The company is an existing client of an NPAworldwide member. Due to the global nature of the hires, there were no standardized procedures in place. The hiring process was long, due to delayed starts and language barriers. The NPAworldwide partner developed a standardized process for recruiting, qualification and selection that can be repeated for future hiring needs.
Manufacturing Company Successfully Fills Global Positions with Help of NPAworldwide Member. The NPAworldwide member leveraged its network relationships to identify high quality, external candidates. Ultimately, the NPAworldwide member was able to assist the client in filling 14 positions in 8 different countries and met all new business commitments. Additionally, a pipeline of more than 20 additional candidates was developed for consideration for future roles.
Making the Right Connections #239 - Location, Location, Location
Atlanta member recruiting for New York position. An NPAworldwide member in Atlanta was asked by the northern New York subsidiary of its Atlanta-based client to fill a job opening for a pressure vessel engineer.
Atlanta member reaches across borders for help. The Atlanta member contacted his usual NPAworldwide resources for assistance in sourcing a qualified candidate. Realizing the position would be near the Canadian border, the Atlanta member thought to contact a Canadian member he'd met through years of attending NPAworldwide conferences. The two members recruited similar candidates and shared common industries and clients, but had never worked together due to the geographic limitations of their normal search efforts.
Canadian member provides successful candidate. The Canadian partner located a Canadian citizen, working in California, who was a perfect fit for the job and eager to relocate nearer to Canada. The client hired the candidate, and subsequently shared another opening for an additional engineer who will be a direct report to the first candidate. The moral: NPAworldwide membership provides increased geographic reach, resulting in more effective client service.
Making the Right Connections #23 - Retail President
Sydney-based retailer expanding into USA. A $100-million Sydney-based retail business is expanding into the American market and requires a president for the USA business.
Retail owner learns of NPAworldwide recruiter with global connections. The owner of the Sydney retailer was sitting next to a Sydney NPAworldwide partner during a sporting event. The pair started chatting, and the Sydney recruiter discussed his membership in NPAworldwide and ability to work globally. The retail owner was impressed by the Sydney recruiter's global capability and asked for his assistance on the search.
NPAworldwide partners earn retained search assignment. The Sydney NPAworldwide partner contacted a USA NPAworldwide partner who specializes in executive search for the retail industry. The two partners made a joint (virtual) presentation to the Sydney retailer, followed by a series of meetings to develop a plan. The end result: the two NPAworldwide partners earned the retained search assignment from the Sydney retailer, and are executing the search project as a joint effort.
Making the Right Connections #206 - London Calling
U.S. publishing company expands its London staff. A large multinational publishing company, headquartered in Oklahoma, was seeking sales, marketing and events professionals in London due to a merger/expansion.
Oklahoma partner lands assignment. As a result of persistently marketing NPAworldwide's international capabilities to this long-time client, a member in Oklahoma received the job orders for the three London positions. The Oklahoma member, primarily an engineering specialist, contacted a member in London for assistance with the positions.
Six positions successfully filled. The London member identified candidates which were presented to the client for interviews and all three openings were successfully filled, as well as an additional three openings. The client's London hiring manager with permission from the Oklahoma member, is now interfacing directly with the London member to streamline the hiring process. The two NPAworldwide members have a year long exclusive agreement for future recruiting needs with this client in exchange for a modest reduction in the fee schedule.

MCPS Approves Move to Phase 2 with more Days in the Classroom
At the Missoula County Public Schools board meeting on Tuesday night, trustees approved the transition from the Phase 1 hybrid plan, to Phase 2, with students attending class full time.
Superintendent Rob Watson spoke to KGVO News about the school board's decision.
"One of the things we proposed is that for second quarter, which starts on November 9, that at our high schools, we would be back to having students in the building five days a week," said Watson. "Then for our elementary and middle schools, we would start phasing that in a little bit sooner, so starting October 12th we'd be bringing students back four days a week, and our middle schools and our elementary schools, and then by November 9, the middle schools and the elementary schools would also be having students five days a week."
One of the things we proposed is that for second quarter, which starts on November 9, that at our high schools, we would be back to having students in the building five days a week.
Watson said he realized that the case count for COVID 19 has been rising in Missoula County, and he and the board will remain in close contact with the Missoula City County Health Department.
"We've been working very closely with the county health office as well," he said. "We're not making any changes to the schedule for another four weeks, so we're still in the hybrid model. We're going to have to continue to get consultation from the Health Department on those increasing numbers, so we're aware that numbers are going up and we'll have to see how that goes over the next four weeks."
Watson said getting the students back in the classroom has been the goal all along, as long as it's done safely.
"What we wanted to do was provide our staff and our families some predictability and some consistency with the schedule going forward," he said. So it was important for me to make sure that that we had a schedule that would be predictable for parents and so that's why we made the proposal and the recommendation to the board."
Watson acknowledged that last spring and this fall semester have been an anomaly, and that both students and teachers have been waiting for the chance to attend school full time.
"It's definitely what fuels us," he said. "I think to a teacher, I didn't hear one teacher say, you know, they're not excited about having kids back. It's just an issue of can we do it safely and I think that was their biggest concern."

Global Marketing Trends: How IBM Escaped Email Hell
By Erica LindbergMarch 9, 2016 No Comments
It's no secret that, thanks to the Internet, brands have more opportunity to reach audiences around the world than ever before. But while being recognized worldwide is certainly exciting, getting the right attention in global markets comes with its own list of massive marketing challenges.
"Cross-regional team collaboration is a key element in successful global marketing orchestration."—Forbes
For example: Think about how you would feel (or have felt, as many of us have done this before) after sending an email to 100,000 contacts in your database only to find out that your subject line contained an egregious typo, causing open rates to flop. Not a good feeling.
Now think about how you would feel if you were the global brand manager responsible for localizing KFC in China, and you completely missed the fact that "finger-licking good" translates to "eat your fingers off" in Chinese. Yikes.
RELATED CONTENT: How SCIEX Coordinates Digital Marketing Content Across the Globe [On-Demand Webinar]
Your subscribers will likely forgive you for using "their" when it should have been "there," but it's going to be a lot tougher to explain why the Chinese market perceives KFC as synonymous with cannibalism—not to mention the millions of dollars it's going to take to repair the misconception.
The good news is that mistakes like this can absolutely be avoided. But the solution resides—dare I say it—in a revamp of internal processes.
Now before you run away scared and angry that I suggested the impossible, listen up.
According to Forbes, one of the greatest challenges facing global marketing leaders today is cross-team collaboration:
"Cross-regional team collaboration is a key element in successful global marketing orchestration…yet nearly half (47%) of low-performing marketing organizations' leaders cited collaboration across different teams and stakeholders as a capability weakness. Being able to take an activation that's successful in one market and then tailor and re-deploy it to other strategic markets like Brazil or India has increasingly become a critical capability for global brands."—"Five New Challenges for Tomorrow's Global Marketing Leaders," Forbes CMO Network
Digital channels have created a borderless customer experience for B2B buyers. Top-performing global marketing organizations need to know how to effectively restructure their teams and processes to ensure consistency across the customer experience, regardless of channel or physical location.
Here's how IBM did it.
How IBM Escaped Email Hell with Kapost
As a global B2B brand with a big reputation and a lot at stake, IBM knew they needed an efficient process for content development to ensure consistency and accuracy at every touchpoint along the customer journey.
From production and translation to approvals and distribution, IBM's internal teams needed to be aligned and able to collaborate and communicate easily.
But—as Tara Dunn, Social Business Manager at IBM, quickly realized—finding an efficient process for managing content for seven sectors with teams around the globe is a big ask.
"Everything was in email so there were lots of crossed wires," Tara said. "We kept it together, but it was definitely labor-intensive."
RELATED CONTENT: 5 Ways Datavail Uses Kapost to Sweep Up Inefficiencies
The need to collaborate on content and initiatives with her core team, executives, and stakeholders around the world in real time was unavoidable. Tara needed a process that could work dynamically to coordinate cross-functionally and give her teams the visibility they needed into the content life cycle.
Enter Kapost.
To get the visibility she needed to orchestrate her marketing initiatives across teams, Tara turned to the Kapost Content Planner. With the help of a centralized master calendar that can update in real time and be embedded into internal wikis for easy sharing, Tara could finally say goodbye to her spreadsheets and escape email hell once and for all.
Saying Goodbye to Spreadsheets
Before Kapost, Tara used spreadsheets to manually manage her publishing cycle. The process was laborious and long, at times requiring her to update cells for hours at a time. And regardless of the time she spent updating, her teams still weren't getting the most up-to-date and accurate information.
"[The global teams] didn't know the context," Tara said. "Who is this for? Who is our audience? That's completely changed. Now when they go into our Kapost content calendar, they can open it up and get all of this information in one glance."
With Kapost, Tara can now share custom views of her editorial calendar with hundreds of IBM employees, giving them visibility into campaign plans and deadlines.
Escaping Email Hell
Email was not designed to be a workflow tool.
Using email to keep track of timelines, edits, and approvals is messy at best. To escape never-ending email hell, Tara needed a streamlined workflow that existed outside of email and allowed her to keep track of important tasks, deadlines, and comments in once place.
"Kapost has become a verb: 'to Kapost' something," Tara said. "'We're going to Kapost this; have you Kapost-ed that?'
"[Kapost] contains our activity and streamlines our conversations in a way that allows for content to be produced with a lot more accountability," she continued. "There's a lot of transparency around who's taking ownership and where to go to for a piece of content."
Moving conversations out of email and into Kapost has not only dramatically sped up the production process with visible content deadlines, but it has also kept everyone within the organization on the same page.
"Kapost has become so useful to the point that I don't even have to work hands-on in it," Tara said. "I can act as a consultant and an auditor and make sure I'm there for high-level problems and issues. But the day-to-day can actually be handled by the sector leads themselves."
Don't let bad habits get in the way of your global marketing. Get the visibility you need to work cross-functionally in order to deliver a consistent customer experience to the world.

While most of us are happy to tinker with furniture and some other household items, we are rather reluctant when it comes to repairing the roof ourselves. This is mostly due to the fact that the roof is a completely different beast; you have to fix it properly in order to prevent future leaks. But don't fear! Even if you have limited repair skills, most of the things can be done easily. You can do a really good job without ever calling for a professional roofing company. Here are some tips to keep your roof in a perfect shape and how much each type of repair costs.
When it comes to the roof, you usually don't have to go all out. Most damage is localized and even if there is a leak, you probably won't have to change the whole roof at once. Instead, small fixes will do the trick. One of the most important things you need to know when it comes to roof maintenance is that being proactive pays off. In fact, if you perform smaller fixes from time to time, you can significantly prolong the period until you have to change the whole roof. Make sure to check it at least twice per year, once prior to the rainy season and once after it. In most cases, you will have to perform smaller work such as replacing a few shingles or gutters.
If you're not as proactive, you will likely start repairs once you notice a leak. Leaks are usually easy to spot. In most cases, they will be on the roof, right above the critical spot. You can spot it by the excess moisture and dripping. If you're uncertain as to where it is, perhaps it's better to climb on the roof and check it thoroughly. One of the good tests which you can do is taking a garden hose and hosing down various areas. This is something that needs to be done with an assistant. As you start hosing down the roof, water will appear in the attic via the leaking spot. Your assistant can yell and tell you as soon as you hit the hole.
In most cases, a few bad shingles will be the issue. You might easily spot the faulty ones as they might be curled or discolored. In the worst case scenario, they will be missing altogether. Keep in mind that once a shingle goes out, other shingles around it tend to become flimsy. You should check the whole area by gently pulling surrounding shingles and seeing which ones are moving. Those that are not stiff should be removed at once as they represent liability and may cause new shingles to become problematic. Shingles can easily be installed. All you have to do is slide them in and use nails to tie them down. Make sure to put nails in all the corners as you don't want shingle to be wobbly.
Besides shingles, area around chimney is usually problematic. Flashing is usually the one to blame although chimney may show signs of deterioration as well. If you think there is a leak around it, make sure to replace flashing and get a new one.
While other steps can be done by practically anyone, this is a bit bigger task. Due to the importance of the roof, replacement is something that only experienced handymen should consider. Even if you do it, it's much better to have a crew of people to help you out. For example, you can call a few of your friends and instruct them how to do the job.
Replacing a roof is something that can save you a lot of money and it can also be a fun project. Still, if you're uncertain about anything, it is much better to call a roofing company to do the job for you!
DoItRightRoofing.ca is a Canadian roofing services provider with over 10 years of professional experience. The company offers a variety of services including residential and commercial roofing, repairs and replacement of roofs in Great Vancouver area.
Great tips and a very informative article. Replacing shingles can be a very expensive endeavor and regular maintenance can certainly lengthen the life of shingles.
good information! I keep looking at our neighbors roof , missing shingle, and dire need of repair or replacement! a good post for them to read!
We just had our roof redone this year, they took it right down to the plywood, I guess we had 3 layers of shingles on the house, so it was time for a complete rip off and reshingle!
Thanks for the steps. Roof repair is so important.
Great tips, and good to know for future reference!
I know nothing about roofs so this was useful to me!
Learned a bunch of great tips.
Thanks for sharing the information. Watching the shingles as the last couple of years we have had strong winds and I think some of the shingles lifted a little.
Great tips! A little maintenance, and you could extend the life of your roof.
Great tips, we replaced our roof this past summer.
Replacing lost shingles is really important and can save you a lot of money in the long run! We used to get really bad wind storms at our old house. We had to replace the shingles a few times.
A good roof that is long lasting is an important investment!
As you said, regular maintenance can save lots of trouble and money. Thanks for the information.
Great tips! So important to do regular maintenance.
These are all great tip, my nephew is a roofer so that is helpful too!
We've gone with a metal roof, and are finding it really worth our while. With a 50 year guarantee, we won't have to worry about replacing it before we move.
My old home we just have to keep doing repairs to it. Thanks for the information.
We do not tinker at all with our roof either. This year was especially terrible as the wind ripped our shingles off 3 times. Great post and diy tips.
Not something to mess with and definitely upkeep and maintenance is super-important. But I would get a roofing company that is bonded and insured (checking with the insurer to make sure the documents provided are accurate and active – you would not believe how many roofing companies get the paperwork and then cancel their policies).
That is the great thing about a bungalow. The roof is not so high.
I had some experience re-shingling a roof when I was a teenager. This has added to my appreciation for roofers, because I would not like to have to do this ever again!
I will leave the job to the professionals.
Great tips, living in a really windy area these will come in handy since we are always loosing random shingles. I need my husband to read and reread this!
I rent but great roofing tips!
We have snow and ice issues. We are too old to be climbing on roofs now, so we'll call our sons when we need that kind of help., but we have brand new shingles!
Great tips…we will get the professionals to fix our roofing when that time comes.
Great tips and a very informative article.
Good information for any homeowner. If regular maintenance is done, you should be good for a long time.
Helpful tips!!! These are things I didn't think of before so thanks!
Terrific tips, but when the "handyman" isn't too sure about climbing onto the roof – our roof is very steep, we have to call in the pros. Thanks for sharing. .
My husband always checks around the house and roof when we have a wind storm to make sure there is no damage. We also have a rake to get some of the snow of the roof when a lot of snow builds up.
I like the idea of not having to redo the entire roof if there is a leak.
Great information, I will keep it in mind if anything happens to our roof.
Great feed!! We just had our roof replaced and a mold issue. So fixing the whole roof was the solution. But we took other measures around the home to improve the outside.
Thanks for the tips! We are totally not Do it your selfer's and leave most things to the professionals but it's good to know what to look for.
thanks for sharing these helpful tips. It is always nice to here other`s opinions.
Good tips, I know its time to do some work on mine and it is such a daunting task!
I can't say that I see us replacing our roof ourselves. My hubby is handy but not that handy that I would trust him to do it DIY.


SpaceX launch crews rolled out the company's next Falcon 9 rocket to pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, then lifted the two-stage launcher vertical for a hold-down engine firing Thursday in preparation for launch next week with a South Korean-owned commercial communications satellite.
Citing schedule concerns over price benefits, Iridium announced Thursday it will launch its next 20 satellites on a pair of previously-flown Falcon 9 boosters from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, beginning with a Dec. 22 mission.
Information found in federal regulatory filings suggests SpaceX plans to conduct a Falcon 9 rocket launch as soon as mid-November with an unidentified payload that has so far escaped public disclosure.

Tax Credit Program Highlight: Old Blanco County Courthouse
Blanco, Blanco County
Recorded Texas Historic Landmark; State Antiquities Landmark
Courthouse, various
Office and events rental
Certified for state tax credits only.
Old Blanco County Courthouse Preservation Society; Hiser Construction Co.
Built in 1886 by architect F.E. Ruffini, the Old Blanco County Courthouse served its original purpose for only four years; the county seat moved to Johnson City 1890. The Old Blanco County Courthouse was repurposed over the next eighty years to serve the community in a variety of functions: an office for lawyers and doctors (1890-1893); a schoolhouse (1893-1901); the Blanco National Bank building (1906-1924); a meeting house for the Farmers' Union (1925-1937); a general hospital (1937-1961); and most recently the Blanco Museum of the Early West (1971-1973). When a wealthy investor threatened to relocate and restore the dilapidated structure on his personal property in 1986, the community rose up, formed the Old Blanco County Courthouse Preservation Society, and successfully petitioned to preserve the building in its original location. The former courthouse now houses offices and is rented out for private events such as weddings.
The original slate and metal roof of the courthouse had been largely replaced in 1997, but was poorly installed and was already failing, causing rainwater to leak into the interior. This project involved a full replacement of the roof system, including installation of historically appropriate slate tiles and standing-seam metal. The historic metal cornice around the perimeter of the roof was repaired and repainted, and the internal gutter system was recoated for proper performance. Repairs and upgrades were also made to the roof decking, structural members, and attic electrical system where needed. The state tax credit program provides opportunities to help fund necessary repair investments like this one, where costs are high and historic appropriateness and high-quality work and materials are paramount.
In 2019 a second state historic tax credit project was undertaken to rehabilitate the 34 wood windows throughout the courthouse. These were disassembled and some removed to be fixed off site. Over the years many of the window sashes had slipped and could no longer close properly. By repairing these, along with other protective measures including new glazing putty and weatherstripping, the windows were able to be put back in service and are operable once again.
Prior to rehabilitation, the metal roof of the former courthouse was rusting, the slate portions had missing and damaged shingles, and the entire roof was in very poor repair.

Things were way bigger back in the day. Giant reptiles, giant mammals, and — worst of all — giant insects. But what if you wanted to grow giant insects right now? Two things: First, what's wrong with you? Second, here's the recipe.
If you don't like giant bugs, this is your last chance to turn back. Because we've known for quite some time that back in the Permian era (300 million years ago), bugs used to get big. Take Meganeura, for example. This giant dragonfly was a real monster with a wingspan exceeding 2 feet (70 centimeters). And then there's Arthropluera, a millipede that could easily reach 9 feet long (3 meters).
But what was it about the ancient world that made bugs get so big? A better question might be, why aren't they so big anymore? The answer most scientists agree on revolves around oxygen. In the Permian era, there was approximately 50 percent more oxygen in the atmosphere than there is today. Bugs breathe through tracheal air tubes, and the bigger they are, the bigger those tubes need to be to fuel their bodies with oxygen. But if there's more oxygen available, the tubes don't need to take up so much room, making it easier for them to get bigger and bigger. And that means '50s monster movies made into reality.
This all led biologists to the obvious question: What would happen if you raised modern insects in an oxygen-rich environment? The answer: You'd get giant bugs. In environments that mimicked the oxygen-rich Paleozoic atmosphere (about 31 percent oxygen to today's 21 percent), dragonflies grew ... wait for it ... half an inch bigger.
Okay, so it wasn't as dramatic as the giant dragonflies that lived back then, but the scientists were also fighting against a couple hundred million years of evolution. Just to put a nice little bow on the entire experiment, the dragonflies that were raised in a less oxygenated atmosphere grew much smaller than their cousins. The same thing happened with beetles. But there was one strange hiccup that points to some still-unanswered questions: Not only did cockroaches fail to grow any bigger in a more oxygenated environment, they also grew more slowly than normal. Just as everyone suspected, roaches are perfectly adapted to take over the planet once the apocalypse hits.

Q: How to merge/aggregate two java objects having List as one member? How can I combine contents of two java objects into one? If contents are same then they should overwrite and if contents are different then new ones should get updated. e.g. I have following schema:
class A {
String id;
String response;
List<XYZ> slots;
}

XYZ further contains some data and Lists again. Now if I get two different objects of A which has different values of slots in it. How can I combine them into one? i.e. making it union but duplicates are not allowed.

A: in XYZ class, you can override equals method with your own logic to compare two XYZ objects.
@Override
    public boolean equals(Object obj) {
        if(obj instanceof XYZ)
        {
            XYZ objXYZ = (XYZ) obj;
            //here u can write your own logic to compare two XYZ objects and return true if satisfied else return false
            return this.id == objXYZ.id;
        }
        else
            return false;
    }

then you can check the list using contains method while adding it to the list.
if(!slots.contains(newXYZ))
    slots.add(newXYZ)

Health authorities and families are increasingly at odds over the number and timing of vaccines given to children, with authorities pushing families toward the CDC recommended vaccine schedule, and families more often choosing less aggressive vaccine schedules, or no vaccines at all.
Vaccine interests have framed the problem as one that is driven by parents lack of education on vaccines, promoting laws that will require parents to go through vaccine counseling before being able to opt out of one or more vaccines that are mandated for school entry. However, this is at odds with the research done on those opting out of vaccinating their children, which finds those eschewing the CDC vaccine recommendations are among the most highly educated parents.
Parents who are choosing a different vaccine path report that they are in fact very well read on vaccine safety and efficacy, and report that they are not following recommendations because they do not find the US National Immunization Program safe, accurate, responsible or trustworthy.
This conflict is now coming into focus in Maine, where vaccine interests have introduced LD 471/HP 310, An Act To Improve Childhood Vaccination Rates in Maine, written by the Maine Medical Association and sponsored by physician Rep. Linda Sanborn, into the state legislature to force parents to have a physician, nurse or physicians assistant provide vaccine counseling, and sign a form for the family, before school entry will be allowed. Additionally, Rep. Ralph Tucker has now introduced a bill to remove the rights of children AND adults to access a philosophical vaccine exemption completely, underLD 606/HP 419, An Act To Remove the Philosophical Exemption from the Immunization Requirements for School Students and Employees of Nursery Schools and Health Care Facilities. Both of these bills violate Mainer's basic human right to free, prior and informed consent.
It forces parents into a conversation with a medical professional that they have likely either already had with their health care provider, or do not want to have with a health care provider.
It may require parents to pay a medical professional for an appointment where they are receiving no medical care or benefit.
It may force parents into a business relationship that they may not want to have.
It subjects ones personal philosophy and religion to scrutiny, and puts a sincerely held belief up for review by someone whose world view may be antithetical to their own.
A bill that required a woman to visit a pro-life physician to have a conversation about her medical and moral choices, and to sign a form for her recording her counseling before she would be allowed to have an abortion would never be considered.
It discriminates against the non-religious community.
Under the Tucker bill, if a Christian, Muslum, Jewish or other religious person decides to forgo a vaccine for himself or his child due to his world view he may use the religious exemption, but a non-believer may not forgo a vaccine for his child due to his world view.
For example: Merck's Verivax Chickenpox vaccine contains DNA from the MRC-5 cell line in which the virus is cultured. The MRC-5 cell line was developed in September 1966 from lung tissue taken from a 14 week fetus aborted by a 27 year old psychiatric patient. Christians may opt out of the vaccine for pro-life reasons with out consiquence, as they may file a religious exemption. Atheists opting out because of concerns over their child being injected with the DNA of an infant whose mother had a psychiatric diagnosis however, can be fired at the discression of their employer, and their children will loose the right to a public school education.
It discriminates against parents who opt out as opposed to parents who choose to vaccinate.
Under the Sanborn bill, those who choose to vaccinate thier children are only given a CDC Vaccine Information Sheet that they are NOT required to read or understand before giving consent for vaccine delivery to a child. Parents who choose not to vaccinate are also given those same VIS statements but then are required further education in order to opt out. It is discriminatory to require more education of a parent who chooses to exempt their child from vaccination than what is required of a parent who chooses to consent to vaccination.
It results in "You're a bad parent" paperwork being generated and filed.
This process in practice achieves the goal of letting the family in question know that their decision to forgo a vaccine is the wrong decision. So wrong in fact that they need to be forcibly counseled on it, and that their bad parenting is being documented and placed in their permanent file. This is a coercive measure, and can potentially be used against parents in future proceedings.
It sets a precedent that parents need a "permission slip" to make medical decisions for their children.
Some parents in other states who have implemented measures like this have had difficulty finding a doctor to sign their paperwork.
Doctors cite potential liability among their reasons for declining to sign a form for a family, because they worry that their signature on a form implies that they have given the family permission to opt out of a vaccine and that they may be open to a lawsuit if the child then contracts the illness in question. Under the Sanborn bill, no medical providor is required to sign such form for a family even after vaccine counseling is given.
If a family cannot find a doctor or nurse willing to sign Sanborn form, or give the family a medical exemption, their child will be denied a public school education.
Doctors giving vaccine counseling have no accountability for the accuracy of the information that they are giving to parents.
The Sanborn bill requires counseling consistant with CDC vaccine information, precisely at the time that CDC vaccine safety officials generating that information are under investigation by Congress for hiding links they found between vaccines and catastrophic neurological damage in children.
The Learned Intermediary Doctrine, law which applies to vaccines, establishes that while pharmaceutical companies must provide full information on known risks of a vaccine to doctors, doctors have no obligation to provide that information to patients or families.
It assumes that doctors are informed on vaccine safety, when in fact, the experience of well read parents is often that their doctors do not even know the information that is given to parents on the CDC VIS statements or the information that is on the vaccine package insert and despite the fact that the State of Maine does not even provide the federal Vaccine Injury Table to Maine health care providers.
Doctors are not required to ask prescreening questions or run any testing whatsoever to rule out possible vaccine reactions before they make vaccine recommendations or vaccinate a child.
If a doctor doesn't ask a parent about the child's history of adverse reaction to vaccination, or family medical history, then they don't have enough information to make an informed recommendation about whether it would be safe to vaccinate a child. This measure does not require any gathering of necessary information, or a medical screening of any kind, thus should not result in any medical recommendations of any kind.
Doctors giving vaccine counseling have no accountability for the child's adverse health outcomes due to the vaccine, even if the vaccination results in seizures, coma, brain damage and death.
It will only serve to anger parents who have already done their research, by treating them as if they are "stupid and uninformed," and widen the current divide between vaccine resistant parents and mainstream medical providers.
Research from the American Academy of Pediatrics shows that forcing parents to undergo vaccine counseling not only fails to increase their chance of vaccinating, but make them more vaccine resistant.
These bills are designed with the goal of increasing vaccine compliance and uptake, and does nothing to monitor, reduce or treat side effects, which are parents largest concern.
It assumes that all medical providers trust CDC vaccine information and agree that parents should be vaccinated according to state and federal recommendations; and it pushes them to provide counseling that they may not believe in.
It bullies and harasses parents who choose not to vaccinate.
Designers admit that the measures will make it "harder for parents to choose not to vaccinate," and that eliminating the basic human right of medical informed consent is the goal of this campaign.
It does not address the true sources of vaccine rejection, the disregard by the medical profession of the safety of vaccinated children, the care and treatment of vaccine injured children and the rights of parents to vaccinate as they choose.

INTERVIEW: Theatre Unbound's New Executive Director Jenny Moeller on Taking the Wheel
by Basil Considine - March 11, 2019 March 11, 2019
A wordcloud generated from an interview with Theatre Unbound's incoming Executive Director, Jenny Moeller.
This fall, Theatre Unbound will celebrate its 20th season of making live theatre created and conceived by women. A 20th birthday is counted as a crown year; for its 20th, Theatre Unbound is crowning a new Executive Director: Jenny Moeller. Moeller succeeds Anne Bertram, who has led the company in this role since 2003.
Moeller spoke with Basil Considine from the Arts Reader about her work past, present, and future with Theatre Unbound.
Jenny Moeller, the incoming Executive Director of Theatre Unbound.
How long have you been associated with Theatre Unbound?
I've worked on various productions with Theatre Unbound as a props designer, light designer, and scenic assistant since 2013. My other company Raw Sugar was part of Girl Shorts in 2015. And last year, Raw Sugar partnered with Theatre Unbound to put on the WTF play festival, producing three brand new works by female playwrights.
Ah, yes, the WTF play festival. Do you have any regrets about giving Minneapolis syphilis (and war and sex)?
I am so proud of all the work done by the artists who participated in the WTF festival. I, personally, learned a lot from the festival, and am grateful for everyone that put up with me. I have no regrets around helping spread awareness of sexual health dilemmas in WWI.
Jenny Moeller (right) at work with outgoing Executive Director Anne Bertram (left) and board member Ashley Wheeler (center).
Executive Director can be a very expansive title. What doesn't fall under your new purvey?
That's a tough question! Theatre Unbound's company does a ton of work and decision making as a group, so as part of the company, I'm part of most of everything. I don't see my position as taskmaster for productions, but I'm there to life up others to do their best, and watch out for the stability of the organization.
As Theatre Unbound approaches its 20th season, do you feel that the gendering of the theatre landscape has changed significantly in terms of who is produced and featured?
Even five to ten years ago, most of the theater that I was seeing, women were the love interest or a side character. Now, the Twin Cities is full of amazing theater companies, big and small, established and new, led by smart and fierce women and gender nonconforming people. That is badass and amazing. There is amazing power in both putting different voices on stage and putting women in leadership positions. And I love seeing women, especially younger women, to do it themselves. People's aren't waiting around for permission. It's exciting time in Twin Cities theater, and I hope everyone is seeing as much as possible.
I don't think this shift could have happened in the cities without Theatre Unbound. Theatre Unbound has made sure to give opportunities to artists who are starting out, jumping back in, or trying something new. I'm honored to be a part of a company that not only puts interesting and engaging work on stage, but does it in a way that helps artists grow as artists. I can't wait to see, and be a part of, how Theatre Unbound continues to grow as part of this community.
What are some of your professional priorities in upcoming seasons?
We have an amazing board and company. Everyone is excited to help Theatre Unbound grow. We have many new(er) people on the board. I'm most excited to find new and additional ways that the board can be engaged and bring that excitement with them.
We also have organizational growth opportunities, and I'm looking at how to grow in a sustainable way, find new ways to connect with the community as a whole, and how to help our core company continue to grown as artists. It's really an exhilarating time.
Are there any people that you especially credit as important professional mentors?
Jenny Moeller & son.
I've had the privilege of working with many smart, driven artists, who I can only try to emulate. I stage-managed for Workhaus Collective many years ago. Their passion and drive to hone their craft has stuck with me. I am constantly amazed by Hannah Holman of Umbrella Collective and her never-ending compassion for the people who make art. Artists that I always want to get drink with, see their work, and be inspired by include: Akiko, Katie Kaufman, Rachel Petrie, Keely Wolter, Liz Neerland, and many many others.
Any thoughts about how you'll compartmentalize your work with Raw Sugar and Theatre Unbound? It sounds like there's been some blurring of boundaries already…
I've done a lot of thinking on this. There is no clear answer other than what's in my heart. Since I wasn't officially part of TU during WTF, it was a true collaboration, and no blurred lines.
I've been freelancing for so long; I'm almost always working on multiple productions. Keeping both going will be a new challenge for me, but I don't foresee an issue of boundaries, since. we don't have any collaborations planned right now.
What are 2-3 favorite productions that you've seen recently?
I went to see A Squid Has Three Hearts workshop with Umbrella Collective recently and I've been thinking about it since. As a new parent and an environmentalist, I connected to it so hard. I can't wait to see what Mark does with it.
I enjoyed Transatlantic Love Affair's The Devout. I always enjoy their world creation, but it was nice to see a group of women highlight the complexity and individuality of the characters.
Can I say Iphigenia and Other Daughters? I didn't have anything to do with the art for the show. I think Amber Bjork is an amazing director, who guides with compassion and a depth of thought that really enhances the heart of the show.
