In Kelley v Chicago Park District, the Seventh Circuit held that the changeable nature of a living wildflower garden meant it lacked sufficient "stable fixation" to be a copyright work. This article challenges that conclusion, explaining how the court incorrectly distorted the statutory definition of fixation. It argues that a more persuasive explanation for Kelley is an assumption that gardens are fundamentally precluded from being a copyright "work". This article interrogates that assumption. It closely probes the meaning, boundaries, and importance of the "work" in copyright, and the difficulties in defining it. In doing so, the article expands nascent, but growing, scholarship on the copyright work itself as a discrete area of enquiry. The definition of the copyright work is elusive, and it is suggested that it may only be possible to define it as the intellectual conception of an author that emerges from copyright's exclusionary filtration process. However, the article identifies other pressures that contain the copyright work. It argues that works must also be identifiable, a condition problematized by kinetic creations, and it notes that a persistence in conflating the work and copyright's enumerated subject matter has the practical effect of binding the work to those listed items. The article then considers the broader implications of Kelley for copyright in kinetic contemporary art, particularly when that kinesis is generated by living elements. The article argues that copyright works can be kinetic, and that kinetic works can be fixed, provided the work is identifiable in the changeable creation. It then investigates some of the broader practical and policy ramifications flowing from conferring copyright on gardens and other creations incorporating elements of living kinesis, and explains how the theoretical possibility of copyright (and moral rights) in gardens is probably eclipsed by a number of practical obstacles, all of which are ultimately founded on an anxiety about enclosing and maintaining certainty in subject matter.

Rattan is a member of the palm family. It is a solid wood with a fibrous heart that grows in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia.
Forget about the "classic" image of a palm tree. Rattan is more like a soft vine that attaches itself and clings to the trees of the primary tropical forest with its large thorns.
It could be compared to a bramble that has to be cut down to make its way through the forest, and its appearance in the wild is frankly quite aggressive.
On the other hand, it is essential to the tropical ecosystem because by clinging from branch to branch to the trees of the forest (some vines measure about a hundred meters!), it is a real communication cable between animals and plants.
A rattan vine between two trees: the enjoyment of animals and plants.
To find rattan, you have to go deeper and deeper into the tropical forest, several days from the cities and hours away from the first villages that surround it.
use small motorcycles or even boats to follow rivers; the rest is all on foot.
In the forest, the cutters will cut all the varieties of rattan that surround them without doing much sorting. These indiscriminate cuts are ultimately used to clean up the forest so that they can clear their way through.
The vines are cut into strands several meters long, freed from their leaves and thorns, then transported to the villages where they will be the subject of the first sorting which will make it possible to pay the cutters.
Some species are traded by weight, others by the piece. Prices vary significantly according to supply and demand.
The work of the cutters who harvest rattan is very difficult: the long hours of walking, in a hot and humid tropical climate; the cutting of the rattan, which, even if it is not the heaviest, is still a solid wood (with thorns!). Transporting canes over several kilometers in this harsh environment no longer evokes enthusiasm amongst the young. You need to know the forest well to find your way around and see where you can find the best vines from the best varieties. Younger people are more easily attracted to the city, where consumer society reigns, and its suburbs, where work in developing industries is less tiring and, above all, more profitable.
Even so, they would like to stay in their villages, the huge mining companies that exploit the forest on a large scale or the farmers who deforest at all costs to plant oil palm trees offer them remuneration that our small industry has difficulty matching.
The government understands the challenges and knows that this occupation must be preserved in spite of everything to ensure the maintenance of the forest, the preservation of species and the skills and knowledge of the people who work in a sector capable of supporting a large number of inhabitants. For everything remains exclusively manual and skills are acquired through experience and oral transmission.
Rattan is a wild material, with an extremely long and tedious processing cycle (from harvesting, sorting, to preparation before production). Considerable expertise is required to produce solid and durable furniture.
The quantity of rattan furniture from the 50s that can still be found in flea markets is proof that it can be handed down through the generations.
There are more than 3,000 varieties of rattan, only about a hundred of which can be used to make furniture.
As with any plant species, the terroir in which it grows has a considerable influence on its appearance. A Borneo rattan will not look the same as a Sumatran rattan. A young cut rattan will have a soft and smooth appearance with a soft heart and fine bark. It can be used to create complicated shapes. An older rattan will be denser and heavier, but its bark will be thicker and certainly more damaged during its life, with more spots and roughness. On the other hand, it will make an extremely strong seat structure.
Rattan can be fine and thornless or thick, long, very thorny and with large leaves.
When we know that it takes 20 to 30 years for a beautiful thick cane (with a diameter of 35 to 40 mm for example) to mature, we quickly understand that the manufacture of furniture in Rattan is essentially a small scale activity where time is an important factor.
It is the buyer's expertise that makes it possible to offer the specific types that the manufacturer will choose to work with. Each pole is sorted according to its origin, species, colour, diameter and quality.
Orchid Edition has set itself the objective of revealing all the nobility of rattan but also of promoting and perpetuating ancestral know-how.

Learning to Fly: I Keep Plugging Away
By Francis Zera
A few weeks ago, I completed the written pre-solo exam and Cessna 172S checkout paperwork. Both tests are specific to Galvin's flight school/rental program. The former test covered lots of flight-safety topics, while the checkout test covered aircraft-specific things like performing weight and balance calculations, flight planning, fuel consumption, takeoff and landing distances based on hypothetical weight and balance figures, and so on.
I've had to back off the frequency of flight training a bit; this is definitely an expensive exercise. I've gone from flying two or three times a week to three times every two weeks to stretch the budget a bit. This is, based on conversations with fellow students, also nothing out of the ordinary.
That pacing, though, has made me feel like my skills have been stagnating a bit. I had a frustrating flight a week or so ago, where nothing seemed to go smoothly and my memory of the required procedures needed refreshing by the instructor, rather than my just doing them without prompting; it was disheartening.
There have been a couple of flights like that.
Alaska Airlines Kicks it up Several Notches with New Flagship Lounge at Sea-Tac Airport
Alaska Airlines has upped their game by opening a huge new flagship lounge at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on July 12. We got to tour the new lounge during a media preview the day before it officially opened.
The new lounge is part of a $658.3 million update that the airport is currently building at the North Satellite facility; with the completion of this phase, the work is approximately 1/3 complete, according to Sea-Tac Airport Managing Director Lance Lyttle. Construction got underway back in February, 2017.
The project adds eight gates, 255,000 square feet of space, and several new restaurants and shops to the airport.

[253] Lives of the Circus Animals – Christopher Bram
Posted on January 12, 2010 by Matthew
Why can't he love me anymore? He did once. I'm sure of it. But gay men are like that. Shallow. They can love for only so long. He couldn't even feel jealous. It's too deep an emotion for him." [299]
Lives of the Circus Animals is a comedy about a group of theater people in New York: actors, writers, and personal assistants who infiltrate each other's lives with a growling intensity tempered by Bram's dry wit. The title conveys the fondness and gentle derision with which Bram presents his ensemble cast, of whom interrelationships unfold in very dramatic and eccentric manner.
Acerbic Times second-string critic Kenneth Prager hates his life and, frustrates that the world falls short of his ideals, he takes it out in his reviews. His victim is Caleb Doyle, a gay playwright whose first stage success was immediately followed by the ignominious failure of his second. Torn between failure and nostalgia of his deceased lover, Ben, Caleb considers quitting to write altogether. Somewhat of a fag hag, Caleb's lovelorn sister Jessie tries hard not to fall for failed actor Frank Earp, who has come to terms with the limits of his theatrical career. The now full-time office manager directs school-children plays and other amateur gags. His latest is an off-off-Broadway show staged in an apartment, in which Toby Volger, Caleb's ex-boyfriend, is cast. Toby still nurses a breakup with Caleb, whom he thinks is still in love with the dead lover, while he is drawn to Jessie's boss, Henry Lewse, an aging, prominent British actor who has renounces love altogether.
[Toby to Caleb] And you know why you're still in love with him? Because you didn't love him enough when he was alive. [136]
[Frank to Jessie] You're not ready to love me. You're not ready to love anymore. Or let yourself be loved. Because you're too in love with success___ . . . And you know why you need success? Because you don't like yourself enough. Well, I like you. I love you. And if you had any brains at all, you'd understand that that was success enough. [161]
But then I understood that it was useless to be unhappy. Life is short. I refuse to take myself—or anyone else—so seriously that they will cause me pain. [175]
What begins as a series of disconnected scenes quickly develops into a densely integrated plot which coalesces into a rousing, swiftly paced (events take place over ten days) comedy of manners—and errors. Through success and failure, dreams come true and shattered, the characters are fully in touch with their humanity and vulnerability. In the chase after fame and accomplishment, they master over narcissism at the expense of love, because the egos have got all tangled up in their affection. Whether one is ascending to stardom, that is Henry, or one who is owning up to his failure, that is Caleb, he is at the crossroad of love and affection.
Although this is Bram's lighter vein, Lives of the Circus Animals is a beautifully constructed novel with characters, scandal, love, and humor from all aspects of the sexual spectrum. The title, adopted from a poem by William Butler Yeats, can't nail better the truth how untamable animals humans can be. The misadventures of the playwrights, actors, critics, rookies, lover-wannabes end in an extravaganza with a surprising twist. It's a brilliant and entertaining novel that explores gender and sexual politics.

I havent read any Bram and think that it is something I really must get round to. I like the idea of this group of characters so maybe this would be a good place to start with him?
Matthew, on January 13, 2010 at 1:32 pm said:
This one is Bram's lighter fare, and is the least political. You might want to start with this one or Gossip.
D, on January 13, 2010 at 10:28 am said:
I am so glad you liked the book. I don't think I was in the right frame of mind when I first read it but glad I kept at it and soon found myself full absorbed by the characters and the story. I think it should be made into a movie.
Interesting you mentioned the similarity to Love, Actually, which I thought of during the reading. I felt the same stagnancy at the first third of the book, knowing Bram is setting up for the convergence of characters later. The pace picks up as the characters cross path. It's a great read.
Staci, on January 13, 2010 at 12:49 pm said:
This one sounds pretty intriguing…now if I could just keep all of the characters correct in my mind!!!
It's almost like a Chekov story with so many characters going about their daily lives. They are so real people and all of them are less than perfect.

As a theater lover, I think I need to add this to my list. Unfortunately, there's no copy in our Hawaii library system. I may need to break down and buy it. Recently I received a signed copy of his new book, "Mapping the Territory." I hope to get to it soon. Aloha from Rob
If you cannot hunt down a copy at the local bookstores, you might have to order from Amazon. Some of his books are out-of-print. Let me know if you can't find one anywhere, i might be able to get you one.
Thanks for your offer to help, Matt. I found a copy on B&N with free shipping for $11.92. They have this great deal where books $10 or more are shipped for free if you belong to their reader program. Aloha from Rob

Vaughan Brothers Art Work Project in Kiest Park
Photo: Kirby Warnock
A memorial plaque for Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimmie Vaughan, virtuoso guitarist brothers who grew up in Oak Cliff, has been installed in Kiest Park. Dedication of the Vaughan Brothers Art Work Project has been delayed due to Covid-19 restrictions, but the plaque is in place.
Vaughan Brothers Plaque
"Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughan, influential Texas blues musicians, grew up in Oak Cliff proximate to Kiest Park. Many residents remember Stevie Ray cutting across the park on his way home from school. Upon his tragic death an impromptu memorial was set up near the location of this sculpture."
Buddy Magazine cover photo courtesy of Ron McKeown
"Basque artist Casto Solano created artwork honoring the musical contributions of Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughan. The imagery of the Vaughan Brothers' lives and music includes both brothers and their song lyrics. The artwork is an homage and an invitation to reminisce and to enjoy their music. The cutwork metal purposefully merges the images of the Vaughans with the surrounding community to make a place of belonging and lace them back into the fabric of Dallas."
"Linking the material world with the ephemeral ecstasy of music, the art can serve as a stage for small concerts. Welcoming, interactive, harmonious and energetic, friendly and optimistic. The artwork will run to the very heart of music's reason for being; its symbiotic relationship with human beings. To the palindromic truth; that we are music and music is us."
Kirby Warnock
Kirby Warnock, a former editor of Buddy Music Magazine and now a documentary filmmaker, is the driving force behind the Vaughan Brothers Art Project. His documentary, "When Dallas Rocked," was released in Nov. 2019.
Warnock said, "The artist, Casto Solano, designed it so you cannot see the images unless you get out of the car and stand directly in front of each panel, then they almost magically appear. If you are standing to the side, or just driving by, it looks like a rusty wall. Casto's design is to encourage people to walk up to it and reflect on each image."

"Actually it's pretty cool because it requires you to get close to experience it, and have a moment to reflect on it. Remember that this location was chosen because it is only about five blocks from Stevie and Jimmie's childhood home, and the candlelight vigil for SRV was held just a few hundred feet from here after he died. There is still landscaping to be done around the artwork. The artwork has not yet been officially dedicated. That will (hopefully) happen on March 20, if Covid restrictions are lifted," Warnock said.
Vaughan Brothers Art Work Project
The photo images used on the memorial plaque are from Tracy Hart, Glen Loferman, and Jimmie Vaughan. Donations for the memorial came from numerous fans of the Vaughan brothers and their music. Major donors are listed on the plaque as The Cabaniss Family Foundation, Jeffery Stephen Davis, John and Lisa Dennis, The Kessler Theater, the North Texas Music Foundation, the Oak Cliff Foundation, Kirby Warnock, and the City of Dallas Office of Arts & Culture.

We took three buses and 148 total people attended with the support of St. Mary Parish! Thank you for your generosity and prayers! We may need four buses next year! To see pictures from this year click here. Click here to see our video. Mark your calendars for Steubenville 2017: July 14-16.
First, we want to thank everyone that in some way helped to make the Steubenville conference possible for our 69 students and 14 chaperones! As I looked across the sea of students at the conference, I thought, "Every prayer prayed, every effort exerted, and every penny spent on these students, dancing, singing and praising God - was worth it - was so absolutely worth it!" I could not help but be overcome by joy at the work of God in their hearts, as I watched them rejoicing in who they were - who God made them to be!
Some students wanted to go, some were hesitant, and some students refused to go, but gave in with either a bribe or threat of punishment. It didn't matter what situation brought them there. They were there for a reason. God chose them to be there. He wanted them to be there and He revealed Himself to them in such a personal way that their lives will forever be changed.
Continue to pray for these students as they enter into the battle that we all face - to choose right from wrong, to choose God and eternity, over the lures of evil. It's easy to spend time with thousands of other students calling out to Jesus. It's very hard to return to high schools full of students choosing the ways of the world, and with other Catholics who simply go through the motions.
The students learned that salvation does not come from being "good" or even being "better" than the person next to them. No one can earn salvation. The way to eternal life with God is through knowing Jesus Christ and loving Him with your whole heart, soul and strength. The students responded to the messages they heard with their hearts overflowing with joy, arms raised and tears flowing. It was an experience they will never forget!
Again, thank you to everyone who invested in these students, the future of our Church! All high school students, whether or not they attended Steubenville, are invited to continue their faith journey with our youth group activities throughout the year. We expect an exciting new year, and look forward to seeing what great things the Lord has planned for them!
P.S. Click here for the link to our Steubenville 2014 video!
As disciples of Jesus Christ we are called to learn from Him and follow Him. In Him we find our fulfillment and purpose in life. Jesus tells us in Scripture that He came to serve, so we too must take to heart this essential call to serve others if we truly are disciples of the Lord.
Did you know that the secret to JOY is to put Jesus first, Others second and Yourself last? In following Jesus, and serving others you will find joy. If you are reading this, think of one thing you can do for someone else today. You can make a difference!
Our very first SMYG service project was a wonderful success! Food pantries are always well stocked during the holidays, but they run low in the summer. Therefore our Youth Group decided to promote "Christmas in July", a food drive to help provide food for those in need during the summer months. We received 1,038 donated items and we hope to double that number next year (July 25-26, 2015)!


The presence of antioxidants in Nopales make metabolic function work quickly, and they maximize fat burning and the transformation of food to usable energy.
Burro bananas has vital nutrients that are good for a quick burst of energy. Since burro bananas have the ability to provide instant energy, sportsmen and sportwomen eat burro bananas during breaks during games for an extra surge of energy.

La Batalla de Monterrey de 1913, fue una serie de enfrentamientos que se llevaron a cabo los días 23 y 24 de octubre de 1913, entre las fuerzas federales al mando del gobernador de Nuevo León, Salomé Botello, leal al presidente Victoriano Huerta, y los rebeldes carrancistas, entre los cuales estaban Jesús Carranza Garza (hermano de Venustiano Carranza), Pablo González Garza y Antonio I. Villarreal. Entre los generales que apoyaron a los federales en la defensa de la ciudad estaban Enrique Gorostieta Velarde y Miguel Corona.

La Batalla
El 23 de octubre de 1913, las fuerzas carrancistas al mando de los generales Pablo González Garza, Jesús Carranza y Antonio I. Villarreal llegaron a Monterrey. Organizados en escuadrones unos tomaron el Obispado, mientras que otros ocuparon el cuartel que se encontraba en la esquina de las calles Madero y Corona, donde se encuentra hoy la escuela Calles. Otros revolucionarios llegaron hasta la Alameda e invadieron la penitenciaría —que se encontraba en Pino Suárez, entre Arramberri y Espinoza— y, aunque los federales estaban atrincherados en los mercados Juárez y Colón y defendían la calzada Unión (Madero), las fuerzas revolucionarias lograron franquearlas y tomar la Villa de Guadalupe. Ese mismo día las fuerzas insurgentes llegaron hasta la calle de Mina, la Estación del Golfo —donde establecieron su cuartel—. Por la fundidora trataron de acercarse al palacio de Gobierno y llegaron hasta el sur del río Santa Catarina (San Luisito).

Al día siguiente, las autoridades federales enviaron refuerzos para defender la ciudad y la lucha fue más violenta. Los carrancistas desde su cuartel del Golfo y la Plazuela del 21 de marzo, intentaban acercarse al centro, mientras que, desde la calzada Madero y Zaragoza, bombardeaban el palacio de gobierno. Los cronistas dicen que los revolucionarios que estaban en el área de la Cervecería Cuauhtémoc se emborracharon con el centenar de cajas de cerveza y el licor que saquearon de bodegas y cantinas y comenzaron a dar gritos que recordaban a sus ancestros comanches. De esta forma sirvieron sólo de blanco para los federales quienes además recibieron nuevos refuerzos. Los revolucionarios tuvieron que ordenar la retirada.

Illuminating: Techland offers up 12 minutes of Dying Light in motion
By Peter Parrish August 16, 2013
Come on, give granny a kiss.
Everybody in the entire world is going to call this game "Dead Island meets Mirror's Edge." But that's ok, because that's precisely what it looks like. All the weapon customisation and zombie-bashing of the former, with a bunch of rooftop leaping and wall scrambling from the latter.
In this twelve minute, narrated presentation you'll get to see pretty much all of that in motion. There are also diversions to find small children in cupboards (with promises that these side-quests will affect the world around you) and a reminder that, in this game, the sun makes the zombies really dopey. At night, they get pretty nasty.
It's not exactly a gameplay trailer, because certain parts look heavily scripted and there's no HUD present. Hopefully that'll be an option for the full release too, I could do without having giant arrows going HEY OVER HERE, THE SUPPLY DROP IS HERE COME THIS WAY all the time. Treat it like one of those fancy E3 videos.

In Asia eleven different time zones are used. These time zones span from UTC (GMT) +4 to UTC (GMT) +10. Several countries offset their local time in increments other than a full hour. As an example, India is 5 and 1/2 hours ahead of UTC (GMT) time represented as UTC (GMT) +5.5. The Asian country of Nepal is five hours and forty-five minutes ahead of UTC (GMT) time, represented as UTC (GMT) + 5.75.
Effective May 5, 2018 North Korea set clocks forward by 30 minutes and observe GMT/UTC + 9:00h standard time.
Most countries in Asia do not use Daylight Saving Time. Countries that do use Daylight Saving Time in Asia are Mongolia and in the Middle East Region, Gaza Strip, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Mongolia, Syria and West Bank. Azerbaijan which in previous years used daylight saving time will not observe daylight saving time in 2016.

A day of target birding and photography in the Tucson area, with a regular client who will turn 90 soon. We found 80 species. Great to see you again, Ken!
Ken wanted to get a photo of a LUCY'S WARBLER, never an easy task, but we managed it eventually.
OLIVE WARBLER was our main target here, and we found a pair right by the road.
We also had good views of a BUFF-BREASTED FLYCATCHER near the Lizard Rock Group Area.
Other birds between the road and the group area included PLUMBEOUS and WARBLING VIREOS, BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER, AMERICAN ROBIN, GRACE'S WARBLER, YELLOW-EYED JUNCO, and WESTERN TANAGER.
Warblers are always a highlight at this location, and today we found OLIVE, VIRGINIA'S, 'AUDUBON'S' YELLOW-RUMPED, GRACE'S, TOWNSEND'S, and RED-FACED WARBLERS, plus PAINTED REDSTART. Also here, HAIRY WOODPECKER, PEREGRINE FALCON, GREATER PEWEE, PLUMBEOUS and HUTTON'S VIREOS, MOUNTAIN CHICKADEE, HERMIT THRUSH, and YELLOW-EYED JUNCO.
The feeders outside the realty office were being visited by MAGNIFICENT and BROAD-TAILED HUMMINGBIRDS, PYGMY NUTHATCH, SPOTTED TOWHEE, YELLOW-EYED JUNCO, BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK, and PINE SISKIN.
An OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER was a nice find.
It was good to see the return of at least three TROPICAL KINGBIRDS.
Also at Sweetwater, AMERICAN WIGEON, CINNAMON TEAL, LESSER SCAUP, PIED-BILLED GREBE, WESTERN KINGBIRD, BELL'S VIREO, COMMON YELLOWTHROAT, YELLOW and WILSON'S WARBLERS, ABERT'S TOWHEE, LARK and SONG SPARROWS, and LAZULI BUNTING.

San Diego – Today Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer announced that the City of San Diego has been awarded a $1.6 million grant from the Department of Defense's Office of Economic Adjustment to support the resiliency and growth of local defense contractors.
The City of San Diego and key partners, including the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation, County of San Diego, San Diego Military Advisory Council, East County Economic Development Corporation and South County Economic Development Corporation – collectively named Propel San Diego – will deploy programs to support the region's defense ecosystem.
Leveraging Department of Defense support and the grant, Propel San Diego programs aim to help San Diego retain highly-skilled talent and create increased stability for defense companies in an increasingly uncertain defense budget world.
"The federal grant and Propel San Diego are welcome news for our region because they will help our critical defense industry stay strong in a fast-changing economy. It's a big boost for our military, local businesses and our communities," said San Diego County Supervisor Dianne Jacob.
"Similar to the Maritime Action Plan we developed, the OEA grant will allow us the opportunity to strategize with defense contractors and subcontractors to develop an action to strengthen the aerospace and aviation industries in our region," said South County Economic Development Council president and CEO, Cindy Gompper-Graves.

Harriet the Spy is a children's novel written and illustrated by Louise Fitzhugh that was published in 1964. It has been called "a milestone in children's literature" and a "classic". In the U.S., it ranked number 12 in the 50 Best Books for Kids and number 17 in the Top 100 Children's Novels on two lists generated in 2012.

It was followed by two "companion books", the sequels, The Long Secret (1965) and Sport (1979).

Plot summary
Eleven-year-old Harriet M. Welsch is an aspiring writer who lives in New York City's Upper East Side. Encouraged by her nanny, "Ole Golly", Harriet observes others and writes her thoughts down in a notebook as practice for her future career. Several standalone episodes highlight the various eccentric characters she meets on her afternoon "spy route".

Harriet's best friends are Simon "Sport" Rocque, a serious boy who wants to be a certified public accountant or a ball player, and Janie Gibbs, who wants to be a scientist. Harriet's enemies in her class are Marion Hawthorne, the teacher's pet and self-appointed queen bee, and Marion's best friend, Rachel Hennessy.

Harriet's life changes abruptly when Ole Golly's suitor, Mr. Waldenstein, proposes and she accepts. Harriet is crushed by the loss of her nanny. Her mother and father are at a loss to understand Harriet's feelings and are of little comfort to her.

At school, during a game of tag, Harriet loses her notebook. Her classmates find it and are appalled at her brutally honest documentation of her opinions of them. The students form a "Spy Catcher Club" in which they think up ways to make Harriet's life miserable, such as stealing her lunch and passing nasty notes about her in class. In return, Harriet regularly spies on the Spy Catcher Club through a back fence and concocts vengeful ways to punish them. After getting into trouble for carrying out some of her plans, Harriet unsuccessfully tries to resume her friendships with Sport and Janie as if nothing had ever happened. When Harriet's grades go down, her parents confiscate her notebook, which only depresses her further.

Harriet's mother takes her daughter to see a child psychiatrist, who advises Harriet's parents to get in touch with Ole Golly and ask her to write to Harriet. In her letter, Ole Golly tells Harriet that if anyone ever reads her notebook, "you have to do two things, and you are not going like either one of them. 1: You have to apologize. 2: You have to lie. Otherwise you are going to lose a friend."

Meanwhile, dissension is rippling through the Spy Catcher Club. Marion and Rachel are calling all the shots, and Sport and Janie are tired of being bossed around. When they quit the club, most of their classmates do the same.

Harriet's parents speak with her teacher and the headmistress, and Harriet is appointed editor of the class newspaper, replacing Marion. The newspaper—featuring stories about the people on Harriet's spy route and the students' parents—becomes an instant success. Harriet also uses the paper to print a retraction of the things she had written in her journal. Harriet is forgiven by Sport and Janie.

Reception
The book appeared on a 1964 list of "The Year's Best Juveniles" in The New York Times Book Review.  One 1965 reviewer called the book "a brilliantly written, unsparing realistic story, a superb portrait of an extraordinary child". Another reviewer found that it "captures the feelings, thoughts and situations of a modern city child with remarkable clarity and dimension". Nevertheless, at least one reviewer in 1965 felt that the book dealt with "disagreeable people and situations".  Although it was not chosen as one of the American Library Association (ALA) Notable Books for Children for 1964, years later it was included in a retrospective 1960–1964 ALA Notable Books List.

It won a Sequoyah Book Award in 1967.  The paperback version was selected as one of the "Best in the Field" published during the previous 16 months in a 1968 New York Times article. In 1995, Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies claimed that 2.5 million copies of the book had been sold; however, the book did not appear on a 2001 Publishers Weekly list of "hardcovers that have sold 750,000 copies and paperbacks that have topped the one million copy mark."

Whitney Matheson wrote on the USA Today site in 2002 that Harriet "attracts dedicated, lifelong supporters".  Anita Silvey in 2004 selected it as one of the 100 best books for children. In 2005, the ex-CIA officer Lindsay Moran cited the Harriet the Spy series of books as an inspiration for her career. It was included in a 2009 list of "Children's Classics" by The Horn Book Magazine.

In 2012, Harriet the Spy was ranked number 17 among all-time children's novels in a survey published by School Library Journal. Earlier that year, Time Out New York Kids ranked it number 12 among the "50 Best Books for Kids". Late in 2015, the same source ranked it number 34 in the "73 best kids' books of all time for families".

Despite its popularity, the book has been banned from some schools and libraries "because it was said to set a bad example for children". Along with Are You There God?, Blubber, and Where the Sidewalk Ends, the book was challenged at a 1983 school-board meeting in Xenia, Ohio.  Proponents of the Xenia ban stated that the book "teaches children to lie, spy, back-talk, and curse", but the board voted to keep the books in the school libraries.

Series
Fitzhugh wrote two sequels to the book: The Long Secret (1965) and Sport (1979, published posthumously).  Both books received mixed reviews.

Sport is a spin-off that focuses on Simon "Sport" Rocque, expanding upon his brief family background covered in Harriet the Spy. As his parents are divorced, Sport lives with his father, who is a struggling writer who has been focusing on a book (a big gamble) rather than the steady income of journal/newspaper articles, with Sport managing their finances. Their financial problems are exacerbated once Sport's grandfather Simon Vane (from his mother's side) becomes terminally ill and stops sending regular payments to Sport. Things change for the better once Sport's father meets the kind Kate, who becomes a good stepmother. However, Simon's will has named Sport as the main beneficiary to the $30 million family fortune, much to the chagrin of Sport's mother Charlotte Vane and her sister. Charlotte, an absentee mother who has been living well abroad in Europe most of the time, returns to New York City upon hearing of her father's illness, scheming to increase her share of Simon's inheritance by kidnapping Sport and imprisoning him in the Plaza Hotel for a week.

In 2002, a sequel Harriet Spies Again appeared; written by Helen Ericson, it also received mixed reviews.  Another sequel, Harriet the Spy, Double Agent by Maya Gold, was published in 2005; one review of that book stated "there's not much to interest readers here."

Adaptations

Film rights to the novel were bought by Herbert Swope in 1964.  Harriet the Spy was made into a 1996 film of the same name. It starred Michelle Trachtenberg and was the first film to be produced by Nickelodeon's feature film division.

In September 2004, Mainframe Entertainment announced that Protocol Entertainment will produce a new Harriet the Spy live-action television series, consisting of at least 22 half-hour episodes, with 2 Friends Entertainment acting as executive producers and US sales agent and Mainframe retaining international distribution rights.

In March 2010, Disney Channel aired a version of the story, Harriet the Spy: Blog Wars. This starred Wizards of Waverly Place cast member Jennifer Stone as Harriet, Alexander Conti from Cheaper by the Dozen 2 as Harriet's friend Sport, and Degrassi: The Next Generations Melinda Shankar as Janie. In this film, Harriet competes against Marion Hawthorne to see who has a better blog.

In August 2020,  Apple TV+ announced it had given the production a series order for an animated television adaptation of the novel. The series was to be produced by The Jim Henson Company and Rehab Entertainment with Will McRobb as writer, Sidney Clifton as producer, and Terissa Kelton and John W.

WASHINGTON – Senator John Hoeven today issued the following statement to mark Vice President Mike Pence's visit to the Grand Forks Air Force Base.
Hoeven continues his efforts to reinforce North Dakota's role as a leader in the unmanned aerial systems (UAS) industry and leverage this technology to improve national security. To this end, the senator is advocating for the administration to utilize Grand Forks' UAS facilities and expertise to improve border security, develop counter-UAS technologies and address the pilot shortage, both for manned and unmanned aircraft.
Hoeven also joined Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao earlier this year to announce that North Dakota was selected as one of ten sites to participate in the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) UAS integration pilot program. As part of this program, the North Dakota test site and the state's UAS industry will be at the forefront of establishing the safe operation of unmanned aircraft in the national airspace (NAS), providing regulatory certainty for UAS operators and ensuring privacy concerns are addressed.
$386 million for the RQ-4 Global Hawk program which is based at the Grand Forks Air Force Base. This includes $100 million for the Battlefield Airborne Communications Node (BACN) program, allowing for the procurement of an additional Global Hawk aircraft to carry the BACN payload.
$7.8 million for DoD's unmanned aircraft research efforts, including $4 million above the administration's request to support development of an unmanned traffic management system.
$13 million for counter-UAS technologies and instructs DHS to brief the Appropriations Committee on its funding needs in this area for the next five years.
$10 million for CBP to use contractors, like those at Grand Sky, to train UAS pilots to help address the pilot shortage and increase the use of its UAS fleet for border surveillance.
Requires CBP to report on whether using contractor-owned, contractor-operated aircraft could help further augment its border surveillance activities.
Includes language prioritizing security at the northern border and provides $6 million to test and evaluate methods for detecting low flying and slow aircraft that facilitate trafficking and smuggling.


Dilip Rahulan: Dubai - The first smart city in the region.
This is one of the key strides towards making a smart city. The stage will connect the assorted eco systems extending from the littlest of the sensors to government substances to give computerized change, as indicated by Dilip Rahulan, Executive Chairman and CEO of the Pacific Controls.
Dubai is one of only a handful couple of urban areas on the planet which has embraced a special way to deal with develop into a shrewd city, as indicated by a paper distributed by KMPG. This desire, the paper notes, is supported by three subjects of correspondence, mix and collaboration. It is this incorporated methodology that will prove to be fruitful and help it accomplish its yearning of turning into the main really worldwide savvy city.
In a move towards the objective of Smart City, Dubai propelled Dubai Data Law in October 2015 to permit the offering of government information to the private part. While reporting the new law through his Twitter account, His Highness Shaikh Mohammed container Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, had said that Dubai Data Law will make open doors for cooperation, advancement and enterprise amongst government and non-government substances.
Pacific Controls has been working with numerous Dubai government elements giving them end-to-end oversaw application administrations and answers for machine-to-machine (M2M) and Internet of Things applications. Dubai means to end up a brilliant city by 2021. Work is being done to coordinate Dubai's online administrations with the Dubai Smart City activity, propelled in February 2015.
"To comprehend and acknowledge savvy urban areas, the center must be on individuals. Urban communities are about individuals, and especially about uniting individuals. We are a social animal types, and urban areas serve to make the physical venues for cooperation that create development, craftsmanship, society, and financial movement," Rahulan said.
"Consequently for an inhabitant it's about computerized change, prepared availability of essential assets, abnormal state of wellbeing and security, all things considered an upbeat life. Plausibility of individuals' interest to make data flew out quicker to separate government power and particular government power can react and act powerfully is one of such components. An individual is enabled to end up a portion of biological system to make Happiness Index continue going higher," he included.
Dubai's keen city venture includes eight key columns – telecoms, tourism, utilities, training, structures, open wellbeing, transportation and human services – all of which depend on, and encouraged by, innovation. Telecom network lies at the center – and structures the spine – of each shrewd city and consistent, end-to-end availability is a key empowering agent.
Dubai's change into a keen city will happen in three stages: Smart Life, Smart Economy, and Smart Tourism. Savvy Life is to do with administrations – instruction, human services, telecom, transportation, media transmission, utilities, and vitality. Shrewd Economy is identified with ports, airplane terminals, brilliant bourses, and keen occupations, endeavors to bolster the economy, while Smart Tourism will manage administrations including that identified with visas, flying, savvy doors, lodgings and eateries.
As per Dilip Rahulan, computerized change of individuals' way of life is a definitive aftereffect of a city being shrewd. He drills down the main considerations that make a city shrewd. To begin with, actualizing Smart Cities require a stage and information. Data about the qualities of the city will be gained through billions of sensors, their total, examination and significant perception. Every one of these perspectives are essentials of IoT and would likewise bring over a noteworthy change in the way Smart Cities are conceptualized, composed and actualized.
Second, information and examination will be the key drivers. Just interfacing large number of frameworks and accumulating information does not make a city shrewd. Humongous investigation of the behavioral example of such information is required. Such study must be done through astute and specific handling of the information and after that breaking down them to infer significant yield. Consequently Analytics, be it machine learning or different structures is the way to any Smart City.
Third, opening up of the administration information. A city is particularly about detecting different types of information, in any case it is not just confined to that. A city has assorted government substances going from Police to medicinal services to street and transport to regions and some more.
In a Smart City every one of these divisions need to flawlessly share information and decide. Such information should be dovetailed to sensor information, versatile information and different types of information towards settling on important and savvy choices. The successful utilization of government information can accelerate the savvy development of urban areas, making national upper hand. Notwithstanding the above, e-administration, proficient utility administration, wellbeing and security and monetary solidness are some different components, Dilip Rahulan included.


The Lowline: the world's first underground park.
The Lowline is a plan to use innovative solar technology to illuminate an historic trolley terminal on the Lower East Side of New York City. The inauguration of the Kickstarter project is scheduled for 2018.
James Ramsey, architect and former NASA engineer specializing in satellite and Dan Barasch, social entrepreneur, launched a Kickstarter project in hopes to collect $ 200,000 to fund the transformation of a disused tram station on the Lower East Side in New York in a populated area of plants and trees.
The Lowline is the name of the project, doubtless inspired with another project of the city, the famous High Line, which has also converted industrial sites in verdant and sustainable expanses.
The proposed site is the one-acre former Williamsburg Bridge Trolley Terminal, just below Delancey Street on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The site was opened in 1908 for trolley passengers, but has been unused since 1948 when trolley service was discontinued. Despite six decades of neglect, the space still retains some incredible features, like remnant cobblestones, crisscrossing rail tracks and vaulted ceilings. It is also directly adjacent to the existing JMZ subway track at the Essex Street subway stop– so park visitors and subway riders would interact daily. This hidden historic site is located in one of the least green areas of New York City— presenting a unique opportunity to reclaim unused space for public good.
Designed by James Ramsey of Raad Studio, the proposed solar technology involves creation of a "remote skylight." In this approach, sunlight passes through a glass shield above the parabolic collector, and is reflected and gathered at one focal point, and directed underground. Sunlight is transmitted onto a reflective surface on the distributor dish underground, transmitting that sunlight into the space. This technology would transmit the necessary wavelengths of light to support photosynthesis, enabling plants and trees to grow. During periods of sunlight, electricity would not be necessary to light the space. In September 2012, the Lowline team built a full scale prototype of the technology in an abandoned warehouse in the Lower East Side, for the "Imagining the Lowline" exhibit. The exhibit attracted thousands of visitors, was heavily covered by the press and ultimately served as a proof of concept.
Next stage of the project consists in estimating quality and spectrum of light distributed and filtered by this vault of 12 meters. The major part of the equipment is forwarded in New York from South Korea and, given that the phase of test is going to take place in autumn and in winter, the team will have the opportunity to study functioning of the system during periods of low sunlight.

Christian de Duve (Thames Ditton, 1917. október 2. – Grez-Doiceau, 2013. május 4.) belga biokémikus, sejtbiológus volt, akit 1974-ben a fiziológiai és orvostudományi Nobel-díjjal tüntettek ki. Kutatásai elsősorban a sejtek biokémiai folyamataira és a sejtek, illetve a sejtszervecskék működésére irányultak, ő fedezte fel a peroxiszómákat és lizoszómákat.

Élete
De Duve 1917-ben született az Egyesült Királyság Surrey grófságában, a Temze folyó déli partján fekvő Thames Ditton faluban. Szülei a Belgiumot lerohanó német hadsereg elől menekültek Angliába. A család csak 1920-ban tért vissza Belgiumba. De Duve tanulmányait az antwerpeni jezsuita Miasszonyunk-középiskolában (Onze-Lieve-Vrouwecollege), majd a Leuveni Katolikus Egyetemen tanult tovább, ahol 1947-ben tanítani kezdett és 1951-ben lett az egyetem professzora. Tanulmányai és kutatásai során a sejtek biológiájára, biokémiai funkcióira és a sejtszervecskék működésére specializálódott.

Tudományos munkássága
De Duve 1962-ben csatlakozott a New York-i Rockefeller Intézethez (ma Rockefeller Egyetem) és ezután Leuven és New York között osztotta meg idejét. 1985-ben a leuveni egyetem professor emeritusa lett, majd 1988-ban a Rockefeller Intézetnél is visszavonult a tanítástól, de kutatásait tovább folytatta. Többek között tanulmányozta az enzimek megoszlását patkányok májsejtjeiben, előbbieket centrifugák segítségével vonta ki. De Duve sejtfrakcionálási kísérletei igen hasznosnak bizonyultak a sejtszervecskék funkciójának megértéséhez.

A peroxiszómákat egy svéd doktorandusz kutató, Johannes Rhodin fedezte fel, viszont de Duve tisztázta szerepüket a sejtek működésében. A lizoszómákat egy szerencsés véletlennek köszönhetően fedezte fel, amikor az inzulin hatásmechanizmusára vonatkozó kutatásokat folytatott. Egy kísérlet során észrevette, hogy a centrifugáláshoz előkészített, homogenizált sejtállományban a foszfatáz sav sokkal aktívabb volt, ha elektromos mixerrel végezte a homogenizálást. Ez felkeltette a figyelmét és mint önéletrajzában írta: "Erőt vett rajtam a kíváncsiság és emiatt sose jutottam el az inzulin hatásmechanizmusának tisztázásához." További kísérletekkel kiderítette, hogy a foszfatázt a sejtekben egy membrán veszi körbe és a elektromos mixerrel való munka során ez a membrán jobban felszakad. Mivel a foszfatáz savas kémhatású, arra következtetett, hogy valamilyen emésztési szerepe van a sejten belül, míg az enzimet tartalmazó membránt lizoszómának nevezte. Később elektronmikroszkópos felvételeken sikeresen azonosította a lizoszómát. Felfedezése után más kutatók több mint 50 különféle enzimet azonosítottak a lizoszómán belül, illetve felfedezték, hogy milyen betegségeket okozhat a lizoszómák hibás működése (többek között a gyógyíthatatlan Tay–Sachs-szindróma is erre vezethető vissza).

Munkássága hozzájárult ahhoz, hogy az endoszimbiotikus elmélet egyre szélesebb körben elfogadottá vált. Az elmélet szerint egyes sejtszervecskék, mint a mitokondrium, a kloroplasztisz és feltehetően más sejtszervecskék is olyan prokarióta élőlényekből származnak, amelyek az eukarióta sejtek belsejében endoszimbiotikus kapcsolatot építettek ki a gazdasejttel.

De Duve felvetette, hogy a peroxiszómák lehettek az első ilyen endoszimbiotikus sejtszervecskék, amelyek lehetővé tették az eukarióta sejteknek, hogy alkalmazkodjanak a földi légkör egyre növekvő oxigéntartalmához. Mivel azonban a peroxiszómáknak nincsen saját örökítőanyaga, ez a javaslat kevésbé valószínű, mint a mitokondrium és a kloroplasztisz esetében.

De Duve élete vége felé egyre inkább az élet kialakulásának kérdésével foglalkozott, illetve számos ismeretterjesztő művet írt a sejtek felépítéséről és működéséről.

Kitüntetései
1960-ban neki ítélték a biológiai és orvostudományi Francqui-díjat. 1974-ben Albert Claude-dal és George Emil Paladéval megosztva megkapta a fiziológiai és orvostudományi Nobel-díjat, az indoklás szerint a lizoszóma és peroxiszóma sejtszervecskék szerepének tisztázásáért.

Halála
De Duve 2013. május 4-én halt meg belgiumi otthonában, halálának oka eutanázia (ami Belgiumban legális). Egy volt kollégája szerint De Duve élete utolsó éveiben egészségügyi problémákkal, többek között rákkal küzdött és még azelőtt véget akart vetni életének, mielőtt a betegségek következtében erre képtelen lett volna. Az eutanázia végrehajtásával addig várt, amíg gyermekei (Thierry, Alain, Anne és Françoise) még egyszer vele lehettek. Élete utolsó hónapjait azzal töltötte, hogy barátainak és kollégáinak írt levelében megmagyarázta döntését.

A belga Le Soir napilappal április 8-án készített, de csak a halála után leközölt interjúban elmondta, hogy megbékélt döntésének következményeivel: "Túlzás lenne azt állítani, hogy nem félek a haláltól, azonban nem félek attól, ami utána következik, ugyanis nem vagyok vallásos."

Statement from MPAA Chairman and CEO Senator Chris Dodd on the FCC's revised set-top box proposal
WASHINGTON – The following is a statement from Senator Chris Dodd, Chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), on the Federal Communications Commission's revised set-top box proposal:
"We have made clear from the start that we support set-top competition. However, we have also made clear that any FCC action to advance that cause must fully respect copyright law.
If Chairman Wheeler's revised proposal is as it has been described to MPAA members and others in meetings, it still amounts to a compulsory copyright license that the FCC does not have authority to grant. The MPAA does not support compulsory licenses, has never supported compulsory licenses, and we cannot do so here. Whether through a licensing body subject to FCC review or otherwise, the FCC must not encroach upon copyright holders' discretion in how they exercise or license the exclusive rights Congress granted them in section 106 of the Copyright Act, or jeopardize the security of their content, as the Copyright Office explained in its expert analysis."

Now that it's warming up, one of our favourite quick dinner ideas is whipping up a salad, but not just any salad. It has to fill us up and be quite hearty, and this seared tuna Caesar salad recipe fits that bill. It also makes a great lunch.
1. Place the bread in a single layer on a baking paper lined tray and sprinkle liberally with parmesan cheese. Bake in a hot oven at 200°C for 10-12 minutes or until golden and crisp.
2. Spray the tuna with oil and cook in a hot frypan or on a BBQ plate until just cooked.
3. Arrange the lettuce on individual serving plates. Top with toasted bread, tuna and asparagus. Finish with a poached egg, pepper and a drizzle of dressing. Serve immediately.
What's your favourite hearty salad recipe?


Mr. Speaker, last April in Estimates, the Minister of Health and Community Services said that a paid family caregiver program was close to being finalized with $6.1 million allotted for the 2013 Budget, and $8.2 million for 2014. Now it will not even be off the ground until next March.
So I ask the minister: Why is the program so far behind schedule?
Mr. Speaker, I am happy to have an opportunity to talk about paid family care in the House of Assembly, because this is a program that the people of the Province have asked for and we are happy to deliver. This is a program, though, that had no jurisdiction in the country being able to offer us any advice at all in terms of how we would do it.
MS SULLIVAN: So, the answer to the question that the Member for Bay of Islands did not ask about, but seems to want to ask about now, is that we did allocate $6.1 million for that particular program, we had some challenges in putting it together, but the good news about the programs is that it is moving forward. We are really happy to have made the announcement, and it will annualize at $8.2 million, Mr. Speaker.
The minister just repeated something that she said yesterday when she talked about the complexity of developing a paid family caregiver program was highlighted by the fact that no other province had one. It is probably because provinces with mature, publicly run home care programs have less need for such a program, and have revealed problems with this model.
So, Mr. Speaker, I ask the minister: What barriers and drawbacks did she learn about this model from other jurisdictions?
MS SULLIVAN: Mr. Speaker, we undertook some rigorous consultation processes within the Department of Health and Community Services. I know when I was across the country speaking to my counterparts we had many conversations around how such a program could be put together, and then rolled out and implemented in the Province.
Mr. Speaker, the most important thing about this particular program is that we assure the quality of care the clients of Newfoundland and Labrador deserve. That was our primary focus right throughout the whole process. It was to ensure we were client centric in our approach to doing this.
Mr. Speaker, apart from that, we need to balance off the responsibility of families to look after families in an unpaid sense with their responsibility to actually provide care when they absolutely could not do it any other way.
The program as outlined by the minister yesterday excludes spouses and common-law partners because of the expectation that their natural caregiving roles will continue.
Mr. Speaker, I ask the minister: What is the expectation of the amount of time spouses and common-law partners must put in on unpaid caregiving for their loved ones?
Mr. Speaker, if we look at the whole culture of Newfoundland and Labrador, then we know that families in this Province have always wanted to look after their loved ones. There has always been a natural caregiving tendency of everybody in this Province, and that certainly exists for spouses one to the other. It is not our intent to monetize that value.
MS MICHAEL:– to oversee their Home Support Program.
I ask the minister: How are these already overloaded professionals going to find the time to monitor new paid family caregiver homes when they are already stretched to the limit?
Mr. Speaker, let me respond to her preamble first of all about tired spouses in this Province. What she has obviously forgotten is that there is a Home Support Program in this Province. Six thousand people are availing of that particular Home Support Program in this Province and are receiving some very, very good care.
Mr. Speaker, to the second part of her question with regard to staffing, through the Budget process we have allocated an additional eighteen FTEs, or full-time equivalents, to be able to work with the current 300 staff who work in Long-term Care and Community Support Services Division.


I believe that language has limitations. I believe that I could waste hours scrutinizing each word, trying to ensure that every sentence perfectly encapsulates Rexton Shin-Kwon Moon, but that in the end of the day all you have are words on a page. I believe that who I am is more than what I say about myself, that that which I truly believe in is not some concise, profound-sounding statement but an organic state of being. I am not static, not perfect, not constant, and presenting a single idea as though it guides every millisecond of my being is as inaccurate to me as saying the sun never sets. I could write about how much I value being real, how growing up in a family that perceives itself to be in the public eye has taught me the value of seeing people for who they really are. I could talk about how I've seen people hide behind titles and positions because they feel like they don't get enough respect otherwise or because they somehow think that they are above being seen with the same lens as everyone else. I could describe how that's caused me to value a person's essence, stripped of all boxes and preconceptions, how that has caused me to believe that there is no person above or below another, that we share one life together and have everything to give to one another. I could write that I believe in the pursuit of perfection, that for any given scenario, I think there exists a best way to act, that for every question, there is a perfect answer, that for every idea, impulse, or desire there exists an ideal form of expression. I could explain how I also believe that while I am imperfect, that perfection in any aspect of my life is practically unattainable, that does not necessitate that I abandon its pursuit. I could discuss how I think people are only as good as their last accomplishment, how every job well done paves the way for a job better done, how it's not about being perfect, but knowing you're not and striving to be anyway. I could write about how I believe that it makes you the opposite of humble when you boast your own humility, that manners are important because people will judge you based on them, that we spend more time finding reasons to dislike other people than to love them. But all of these things are just parts of who I am and none of them can possibly be used to describe me as a whole. I believe that people are more than the words they use to describe themselves, that those words have to stem from good motives and need to be backed by action. I believe that who I am has more to do with not what I say but what I do, how I live, how I think. And that will never fit in 500 words.


Every year new buzzwords float around the business world. Words like mindfulness, employee engagement, culture, impact, etc. We think you should also familiarize yourself with a few that are top of mind at Filene – transparency, trust and fair treatment.
Transparency, trust and fair treatment are the pillars of our three-part research series on open-book management. Using these three pillars, the open-book management strategy engages with employees in a way that gets them to think and act like owners, creating a culture of employee ownership in credit unions.
Sure, this seems like it would make sense, but what is different about open-book management? Can't you just make it happen with trust alone? Do you have to incorporate all three pillars? Even if you do, how can open-book management make a noticeable difference for your credit union?
When we're transparent, every employee sees the relevant financial numbers leading them to a fuller understanding of the organization's financial position.
If everyone is looking at the same information, trust will grow between employees and their managers and vice versa.
Once that trust is established, everyone begins to take ownership and keep the credit union's interest at the forefront.
Be intentional about turning those buzzwords into a winning solution for your credit union. Creating a loyal and engaged workforce will drive long term success within your credit union.
If you're ready to start putting open-book management into practice right away, there are still spots open for our June 14th Research in Action event, Skin In the Game. At this event, we will take a deep dive into the concept of open-book management and learn how to structure your credit union to manifest a culture primed for open-book management, understand how fostering empathy as part of your service delivery affects the culture of an organization and hear from experts on the reality of making open-book management work in credit unions.
