He was a member of 12 cabinets in a political career spanning nearly 70 years. He was considered the last link to Israel's founding generation. In 1996, he founded the Peres center for Peace and Innovation. In 1994 won the Nobel Peace Prize together with Yitzhak Rabin. Peres died in 2016 in age of 93.

90th birthday of Peres in Vyshneva
"Shimon Peres, a Nobel Laureate, was probably the most well-known and prominent individual to ever be born in Vishnyeva, and it brings the town a lot of honor"
- Chaim Chesler
A series of ceremonial events took place at May 29, 2013, in Vishneyeva, Belarus, the hometown of Israeli President Shimon Peres, as a kick-off in celebrating his 90th birthday. The ceremonies were held in the presence of his eldest daughter Tzvia Walden (named after President Peres' Grandfather Tzvi Meltzer, who was killed in Vishnyeva by the Nazis), and were part of the Limmud FSU Festival in Belarus.
As part of the events in Vishnyeva, which were in collaboration with the Government of Belarus, a special permanent photo exhibition was opened on the life of President Peres. Also a plaque was revealed on the home that now sits on the lot where President Peres grew up. This was the Perski home, that the invading Nazis burned down in 1942 when they shot or burned to death, all the 2,000 Jewish inhabitants of the town, including Rabbi Zvi Meltzer and his congregation in the town's synagogue.
The current house, like all the others in the town both then and now, is made of wood and freshly painted. The building looks somewhat better than surviving pictures of the old building, but there is still an authentic feel of what once was. The plaque was revealed by Tzvia Walden, and it reads: "In this place, Shimon Peres, son of Yitzhak and Sarah Perski, the Nobel Laureate and 9th President of the State of Israel, was born on August 2, 1923." Right next to the house still stands the original water well which President Peres often spoke about how delicious the water was.
Earlier in the day, the town held an emotional memorial service near the Valley of Death monument to commemorate the 2,000 Jews of Vishnyeva that were murdered at the hands of the Nazis. At the completion of these events, a special closing ceremony was held honoring his family.
The original idea was first raised to the Government of Belarus by Chaim Chesler, founder of Limmud FSU, and Yoram Dori, a close adviser to Peres for many years, during a meeting with officials in Belarus and the local authorities of Vishnyeva a year before. Additional partners for the projects were the Jewish community of Belarus, the Israeli Embassy in Belarus, the Minsk District Government and the Vishnyeva Municipality. "Shimon Peres, a Nobel Laureate, was probably the most well-known and prominent individual to ever be born in Vishnyeva, and it brings the town a lot of honor," said Chesler. "We hope that this can dramatically elevate tourism and development in the region."

The special exhibition initiated by Limmud FSU and was curated by Yoram Dori, showcases the life work of President Shimon Peres. It was initially displayed in Peres' hometown in Belarus as part of Limmud FSU Belarus Festival 2013, and after was shown for two weeks in Jerusalem in 2014, in New York at UJA-Federation of NY in 2014 with with guest speaker former Israel's Ambassador to the U.N. Ron Prosor, and in Birmingham at Limmud UK in 2015.
In memory of Peres
Honoring Shimon Peres memory at his house after his death, 2016
"Shimon Peres brought pride to our village through his life and accomplishments and we felt obliged to pay our respects following his death," said Oleg Demidchik, 63, of Vishnyeva. "We are humbled that he is from our town and we will never forget this."
"Shimon Peres, a Nobel laureate, is probably the most well-known and prominent individual to ever be born in Vishnyeva, and his memory and legacy honor this town," said Chaim Chesler. "We are greatly moved to see how deeply the people of Vishnyeva care for Peres and that they joined together in his memory.'

Give them chocolate! Delicious gift-worthy finds from 8 local chocolate shops
Milwaukee is rich with chocolatiers and candy makers, each of whom create their own unique style of indulgent treats, perfect for gift giving.
By Lori Fredrich Senior Writer Published Nov 24, 2020 at 1:01 PM
For centuries, chocolate has been a classic choice for gifting.
In the 12th century Aztecs presented chocolate in liquid form, believing that cacao beans were a gift from the gods. Meanwhile, in the 18th century, Casanova called chocolate the "elixir of love" and drank it instead of Champagne. By the 20th century, chocolate was a common holiday gift. Even Queen Victoria was known to offer gifts of chocolate to her soldiers during the holiday season.
Today, chocolate is as compelling a gift as ever. And Milwaukee is rich with chocolatiers and candy makers, each of whom create their own unique style of indulgent treats. And those treats are perfect for last minute gifting during the holiday season!
Whether it's a stocking stuffer, hostess gift or a sweet treat for your significant other, this guide will assist you in narrowing in on the perfect indulgence for the holidays. Even better, you'll be supporting a small local business during these particularly challenging times.

Secret Singers Course Plus Concert
Record Your Song
The Healing of the Song – Ireland's Own
February 23, 2018 by	Aideen Ni Riada	in Media
What a lovely surprise to be mentioned in Ireland's Own last week. I had no idea I had anyone from the magazine attending my last Secret Singers Concert!
Ireland's Own has been published in Ireland for over a hundred years!! It is devoted to all that is good about Ireland and being Irish, published in Wexford town, in the Sunny South East of Ireland without interruption since 1902. It still keeps to a traditional style of printing and the stories range from historial commentary to bird watching and puzzles.
CASSIDY SAYS – The Healing of the Song
Dooley approached me the other day with a strange request to go with him to a singing concert north of the county. "It's on the in Arts Centre and I'd feel a bit shy going on me own", he said. It was important for him to do, he added, to support his niece who had lost her husband in a terrible farm accident last year.
In an effort to ease her suffering and get on the feet again, the girl had very bravely joined a singing class, but no ordinary singing class. This one was called "Secret Singers" and was developed to help people, who believed they hadn't a note in their head, to find their voice and in turn find greater self-confidence generally.
It's the brainchild of a sparkling girl called Aideen Ni Riada. She just glittered with enthusiasm on the night as she shepherded her pupils onto the stage.
Some of the singers prefaced their song with a note of explanation about why they had chosen that particular number. I knew Dooley's heart was breaking as he saw his brother's child take to the stage, forthe  child she looked, far too young to be shouldering such sorrow and responsibility.
She told her story plainly, how Derek had died in an accident and how she found comfort, support and friendship in the group. She poured her heart into a lovely understated rendition of the old folk song 'Black is the colour of my true love's hair…' She was honouring her late husband in fine style indeed.
We noticed too that when she returned to her seat, she was encircled in the arms of many of her fellow travellers who had witnessed her struggles and courage over the months.
Singer after singer regaled the company with a ballad, country & western and jazz. No showing off, no glitter and sham, just the human voice raised up in praise, in gratitude, in peace and in sorrow.
There wasn't a dry eye in the house when Ellen Murphy dedicated her Jim Reeve's number, 'I love you because', to her man, Paddy "who kept me going through thick and thin for over 50 years."
The love and loss of parents were celebrated too by a self-penned tribute sung by a gentle giant of an English man, Pat Sudsworth. Joe Keeling stirred us all with the sincerity of his advice t o: Smile though your heart is breaking…
Dooley and I chatted on the way home about the loveliness of the evening, how people were prepared to admit the depth of their feelings. Dooley can hide his gentler side under a rough and ready exterior, but his handshake was warm as I was getting out of the car.
"Thanks for coming with me, Cass," he said quietly, and added, "and for other things as well." There was no need to clutter the moment with more talk.

Yep, fire is a tricky old thing. One moment you're still enjoying the dancing flames, the next moment your face is on fire and the world around you is melting.
For a movie, I am currently creating a scene in which a wildfire destroys a large chunk of earth and destroys people's houses.
I have some footage shot on location during a real wildfire at night. Now all I need is a lot of specific shots, and these I am going to shoot during a controlled wildfire on set inside Studio Art.
Mr. Specter brought me a lot of veld grass yesterday, with the roots and all. I build a large area of veld indoors.
We did shoot some scenes of the movie with the wildfire burning on the indoor veld, but it got really late so we just decided we'll continue tomorrow.
And so the next day, I recreate an African veld on set that we can burn down.
Mr. Specter in disguise is the person who creates the line of fire that eventually stops the fire when the fire gets to the line of fire that's already burned out.
Everything is going so well. Until suddenly I feel lots of pain.
The pain is so bad I can barely think what it can be, or how to handle it.
What is causing this pain? Is it heat?
Only later I would realize what is probably happening is that the extreme heat of the fire ascended to the roof of the studio, where it probably collected and then formed a convection stream of heat coming down and going back up with the fire and then coming down again in a circle.
Of course everything was still fine one moment, until that heat wave came down with out warning and hit me from above and was cooking me alive.
I turn away from the fire and go down low on the ground. I can also now see the blue screen all along the wall, some four to seven metres away from any fire. And it's not a pretty sight, because that blue screen was built from polistyreen and painted blue, and from the top down it is now melting like swiss cheese asif it's ice in a fire.
I call to Mister Specter to look out for it so that mass of speedily descending morphing polistyreen doesn't engulf him and melt around his form.
There was also a black sail background some distance behind the fire, that was standing in for a dark night background behind our veld. That poor black sail didn't show any reaction whatsoever to the fire yesterday, but today it appears more of the grass is burning or something because from the mere heat that black background melts from the rafters onto the floor into a shapeless mass of goo.
"Kill it!", I shout to Mr. Specter. He knows this is his cue to open the large door and get the hose with already running water outside that we placed there just for in case, while I get the large bucket of water we also placed inside the studio for an emergency like this.
I pour it onto the fire while Mr. Specter is spraying the fire, but within an instant we are suffocating in a hot, blazing smoke and we flee outside.
From the outside, I spray water with the hose onto the fire. The water pressure isn't anything desirable, but at least it's working if I put my thumb in it to make it spray a little distance, and before long the fire is out.
I was hoping that we got out unscaved, but it seems only Mr. Specter got out of it unscaved. My face was so badly burned in the heat, that for months to come, I would still have these red marks on my face and forehead that shows my skin was exposed to severe heat.
Well, Mr. Specter goes to do some of his work while we wait for the smoke in the studio to clear. Even with the doors wide open, it takes 45 minutes to get it to a level where one can breathe inside.
I finally recreate a veld we can burn down, but this time I use much less grass. I think the fire got just too big the previous time. I never thought that things as much as twenty metres away from a big fire can still melt from the heat. But, there it is - many light reflectors and a window screen in the same hall of the studio we're working in, have deformed and melted from the heat.
I think the lesson is to remember the oven effect. If you make a fire in a room, even a room that has ventilation, the room becomes like an oven in its entirety, being hot all over inside, and not just in and around the fire that heats it.
This time our scenes work out great, and fortunately I don't get cooked alive again. I do hope that over some time, my face won't keep looking so burnt. Is this permanent? Naah, I think I'll look better in a few months. One should just never expose your face to temperatures of a thousand or so degrees.
In any case, although many things melted and deformed in the studio, I'm very glad nothing aside from the fire had actual flames coming out of it.
The blue screen is something of the past now. A part of it came down on top of a light stand, and melted around it into the shape of the light stand. Now that it's become cold and hard again, it's kind of freakylooking and arty.

Great British Podcasts
New Families, Historical Fights & A Mother's Murder
March 8, 2020 Scott Bryan 0
Breaking down the myths and stigmas around LGBTQ+ parenting, one son's fight for justice over his mother's murder, a history podcast that brings together specialist experts and comedians and a podcast that delivers a unique angle on historical events…..
It's been anxiety inducing in the news, so the podcasts I've chosen for this week are ones that will hopefully take your mind off it for a little bit.
That doesn't mean that you shouldn't be doing your bit to help lower the risk, mind. As an alternative to singing "Happy Birthday" whilst washing your hands, I recommend this Twitter thread of songs that also have 20 second choruses you can repeat in your head. There's Raspberry Beret by Prince, Jolene by Dolly Parton. My personal favourite? Africa by Toto.
Here are some podcasts that I reckon are worth your time this week:
Some Families – LGBTQ+ parenting is still considered taboo by quite a lot of people. A lot of that is down to the fact that a lot of it has been based on assumptions of what it must be like, rather than the reality. This new podcast series tries to break myths and stigma, featuring interviews and testimony from different members of the community, along with the insights from journalist Lotte Jeffs (a mum of one) and film publicist Stu Oakley ("I thought I was used to dealing with divas, until I had toddlers.") With more than one way to become a parent, options from adoption to donor conception, each episode also provides that little bit of guidance to anyone who is interested in having a similar journey. It's these sort of topics that podcasts manage to do so well at.
My Mother's Murder (from Tortoise) – A four part looking at the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia, a prominent investigative journalist in Malta who was murdered in 2017. She was killed by a car bomb whilst investigating corruption within the country.
This podcast series, heartbreakingly, is presented and written by her youngest son Paul, who tells the story of his mother's relentless and brave work, the people who may have ordered her assassination and how his mother's death has resulted in a monumental political crisis within the country. You'll be particularly shocked to hear about the levels of journalism suppression within Malta, suppression is at such odds to other countries in the European Union.
It must have been incredibly difficult for Paul to have told his story in this way. The result is something powerful and utterly personal. You end up hoping that, in time, justice will result in some form of peace for his family.
You're Dead to Me – A public service announcement that the popular BBC Radio 4 history podcast has just returned for second series. Public historian Greg Jenner is joined by specialist experts and inquisitive comedians to delve right on into a historical topic usually ignored in schools, topics that you may not have given much thought until they talk about it in each episode. The real joy is when the trio gets distracted by a fact and will go down a rabbit hole on it for a considerable length of time. The first two episodes are already available to stream: one on the literary figure Mary Shelley (with literary expert Dr Colin Throsby) and Neanderthals (with archaeologist Dr Becky Wragg Sykes).
Date Fight! – At the start of this year we looked at podcasts that will be released every single day this year, not just by newspapers and radio stations, but by ordinary members of the public. I know! How exhausting! I hope they are all not regretting it.
Here's another daily one, but it has a rather unique angle. Instead of riffing on the events of today, this podcast presented by Jake Yapp and Natt Tapley delves into the past to work out what historical event would win in a fight versus another historical event. An event that included on this date Lord Byron vs another historical anniversary featuring Leonard Nimoy. Harold Macmillan vs Warwick Davis. Good King Wenceslas vs Lembit Opik. It's all good fun nonsense, lasting only ten minutes an episode, which is probably ideal for them too as they'll likely need a lie down soon.
If there is a podcast that you reckon this newsletter should be featuring each week, let us know through the form on our website.
Here's some interesting guests appearing on recent podcasts:
Olympic boxer Nicola Adams has joined Gemma Cairney on the first of the new series of her podcast Sorry, Not Sorry.
Amanda Litherland, host of Podcast Radio Hour (which I co-host alongside her once a month) is a guest on Smashed Prawns in a Milky Basket, a podcast that looks into the genius of Julia Davis.
Marc Okrand, the inventor of the Klingon language, is a guest on The Fluent Show, a podcast about how we learn language.
And finally, many people are still talking about the moving Desert Island Discs episode with the broadcaster and former footballer Ian Wright.
If you have been thinking about making time to listen to it, make sure you do this weekend.
And if you have a podcast, tell us about your guest! It does not matter if the name is not a well-known name. Just fill in this form and we will take a look.
Have a great week (you do not need to stock up on loo roll).

Today we can examine the work of one monk, Eadrith (later the Bishop of Lindisfarne), who produced a stunning example of book painting that is even older than the Diamond Sutra.
Folio 27r of the Lindisfarne Gospels. Depicted here is the beginning of the Gospel of Matthew. Image online, courtesy Wikimedia Commons.
Although the manuscript is undated, The Lindisfarne Gospels were likely copied and illustrated by Eadrith while he was still a monk at Lindisfarne Priory, on Holy Island (off the English Northumberland coast). Nothing remains of the original monastery.
Since Eadrith became Bishop in 698 AD - the date scholars typically use for the manuscript - St. Bilfrid bound the manuscript and added precious gems and metalwork to its binding.
Currently owned by the British Library, the Lindisfarne Gospels contain notes from a priest, Aldred, who also inserted a word-for-word Anglo-Saxon translation in the spaces between the lines of Latin text. Those insertions were probably made between 950 and 970 AD.
In the meantime, the monks had fled looting Vikings who, according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, invaded the area (be sure to activate "fly" to "view" this virtual-tour animation) during January of 793. The monks took with them their most important treasures: the Cross of St. Cuthbert (which was made on Holy Island) and their "books" (the Lindisfarne Gospels).
The Gospels had no ordinary journey on that trip. While fleeing the Viking invaders, the monks - and their books - were shipwrecked in the Irish Sea.
Later, the foot-high Lindisfarne Gospels washed ashore and were taken to Durham where monks continued to produce other precious manuscripts.

Interim, Blinded, Aggregate Data on Patient Enrollment, Baseline Demographics, Dose Escalation and Tolerability Presented; Final Results Expected in Second Quarter of 2014
South San Francisco, CA, December 8, 2013 - Cytokinetics, Incorporated (Nasdaq: CYTK) announced today that a platform presentation of data from BENEFIT-ALS (Blinded Evaluation of Neuromuscular Effects and Functional Improvement with Tirasemtiv in ALS) was given at the 24th International Symposium on ALS/MND on December 7, 2013 in Milan, Italy. The clinical trial design was explained and interim, double-blind, aggregate data on patient enrollment, baseline demographics, dose escalation, and tolerability were presented. BENEFIT-ALS is evaluating tirasemtiv, a novel mechanism skeletal muscle activator, as a potential treatment for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Presentation at the 24th International Symposium of ALS/MND
A presentation titled, "The Effect of Tirasemtiv on Functional Status in Patients with ALS" was given by Jeremy M. Shefner, M.D., Ph.D., Professor and Chair, Department of Neurology at the Upstate Medical University, State University of New York and Lead Investigator for BENEFIT-ALS. Dr. Shefner provided an update on BENEFIT-ALS and shared interim, double-blind, aggregate data (i.e., data from the two treatment groups, tirasemtiv versus placebo, were not separated) from the ongoing clinical trial. He reported that BENEFIT-ALS recently completed enrollment with a total of 711 patients. He also concluded that the open-label, lead-in phase with tirasemtiv appears to maintain the study blind and to reduce dropouts following randomization. Dr. Shefner reported that, to date, the majority of patients randomized in BENEFIT-ALS are titrated to the target dose of tirasemtiv (250 mg twice daily) or matching placebo and complete the trial at that dose. He reported that dizziness, the most commonly reported adverse effect associated with tirasemtiv in prior Phase IIa clinical trials, has been the most frequently reported adverse event in BENEFIT-ALS to date and has generally resolved during continuous treatment with median duration of six to seven days.
Dr. Shefner described the study drug assignment error that had been reported in July, and explained the response to that error, which is intended to maintain the original statistical power of the trial and preserve the statistical integrity of the primary analysis of efficacy. He concluded that changes in the baseline demographics of patients observed over time during the conduct of BENEFIT-ALS support the decision to exclude from the primary efficacy analysis all of the 156 patients randomized concurrently (to tirasemtiv or placebo) in blocks that included any of the 58 patients subjected to the study drug assignment error. Dr. Shefner also shared interim, double-blind, aggregate data from novel functional assessments employed in BENEFIT-ALS and remarked on the potential of this clinical trial to provide useful information regarding the possible effects of tirasemtiv on parameters of skeletal muscle strength and fatigue, including specific measures of pulmonary function, that may be relevant to activities of daily living in patients with ALS. Dr. Shefner also reported that the recent completion of patient enrollment in BENEFIT-ALS may enable the results of this clinical trial to be reported during the second quarter of 2014.
"I am pleased to have an opportunity to provide an update on BENEFIT-ALS at the largest international gathering of physicians, patients and caregivers representing the ALS community," stated Dr. Shefner. "This clinical trial appears to be proceeding well in line with our objectives. I expect that it will provide important information regarding this novel drug candidate that offers potential to impact measures of skeletal muscle and overall patient function that we know are relevant to the natural history of this progressive disease."
About BENEFIT-ALS
BENEFIT-ALS is a Phase IIb, multinational, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and potential efficacy of tirasemtiv, a fast skeletal muscle troponin activator, in patients with ALS. Patients enrolled in BENEFIT-ALS began treatment with open-label dosing of tirasemtiv at 125 mg twice daily. Patients who tolerated this open-label treatment for one week were randomized to receive 12 weeks of double-blind treatment with twice-daily oral ascending doses of tirasemtiv or placebo, beginning at 125 mg twice daily and increasing weekly up to 250 mg twice daily (or a dummy dose titration with placebo). Clinical assessments occur monthly during double-blind treatment; patients also return for follow-up evaluations at one and four weeks after their final dose of double-blind study medication. The primary efficacy analysis of BENEFIT-ALS will compare the mean change from baseline in the ALS Functional Rating Scale in its revised form (ALSFRS-R) on tirasemtiv versus placebo. Secondary endpoints will include Maximum Voluntary Ventilation (MVV) and other measures of skeletal muscle function and fatigability.
Development Status of Tirasemtiv
Tirasemtiv (formerly CK-2017357) is the lead drug candidate from Cytokinetics' skeletal muscle contractility program. Tirasemtiv selectively activates the fast skeletal muscle troponin complex by increasing its sensitivity to calcium, which increases skeletal muscle force in response to neuronal input and delays the onset and reduces the degree of muscle fatigue. Tirasemtiv is the subject of a Phase II clinical trials development program and has been granted orphan drug designation and fast track status by the United States Food and Drug Administration and orphan medicinal product designation by the European Medicines Agency for the potential treatment of ALS. In three previously completed Phase IIa clinical trials, tirasemtiv appeared to be generally well-tolerated; in addition, encouraging trends toward improvement in patients' functional status and increases in respiratory function parameters and other measures of skeletal muscle strength and endurance were observed.
Background on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that afflicts approximately 25,000 people in the United States and a comparable number of patients in Europe. Approximately 5,600 new cases of ALS are diagnosed each year in the United States. The average life expectancy of an ALS patient is approximately three to five years after diagnosis and only 10% of patients survive for more than 10 years. Death is usually due to respiratory failure because of diminished strength in the skeletal muscles responsible for breathing. Few treatment options exist for these patients, resulting in a high unmet need for new therapeutic options to address the symptoms and modify the disease progression of this grievous illness.
About Cytokinetics
Cytokinetics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of novel small molecule therapeutics that modulate muscle function for the potential treatment of serious diseases and medical conditions. Cytokinetics' lead drug candidate from its cardiac muscle contractility program, omecamtiv mecarbil, is in Phase II clinical development for the potential treatment of heart failure. Amgen Inc. holds an exclusive license worldwide to develop and commercialize omecamtiv mecarbil and related compounds, subject to Cytokinetics' specified development and commercialization participation rights. Cytokinetics is independently developing tirasemtiv, a fast skeletal muscle activator, as a potential treatment for diseases and medical conditions associated with neuromuscular dysfunction. Tirasemtiv is currently the subject of a Phase II clinical trials program and has been granted orphan drug designation and fast track status by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and orphan medicinal product designation by the European Medicines Agency for the potential treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Cytokinetics is collaborating with Astellas Pharma Inc. to develop CK-2127107, a skeletal muscle activator structurally distinct from tirasemtiv, for non-neuromuscular indications. All of these drug candidates have arisen from Cytokinetics' muscle biology focused research activities and are directed towards the cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is a complex biological infrastructure that plays a fundamental role within every human cell. Additional information about Cytokinetics can be obtained at www.cytokinetics.com.

SWOT is a waste of time (and other questionable MBA tools) | Fulcrum ConsultingWorks Inc.
Recent articles have described the plummeting value placed on the traditional MBA by the business world.
The attraction to MBAs has long been more wishful thinking and a culling mechanism than anything else.
The vast majority of traditional MBA tools and dogma should be questioned. There is no silver bullet buried there.
Finally people are realizing that "advanced Excel," as I commonly call an MBA, teaches you how to manipulate numbers but little about the actual business of business.
Are there exceptions? Certainly. But the vast majority of traditional MBA tools and dogma should be questioned. There is no silver bullet buried there.
Consider SWOT. An "analysis" of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats has long been considered a key first step in developing strategy.
SWOT requires no deep thinking, little if any validation, and typically lists the same things in two categories. An identified strength is also often listed as an opportunity as well. Weaknesses are often listed as threats, with minor wordsmithing so it's not totally obvious.
If a strength is "time to market" then an opportunity is "leverage time to market." Really? That helps uncover a new invigorating business strategy? If a weakness is "time to market" and the opposing threat is "competitors' time to market" do you feel enlightened? Hardly. If that's news, your business faces a dark future.
The majority of SWOT I've examined don't reflect more than a few minutes of surface level documentation and rarely specify anything unique. False progress.
Environmental scanning (ES) is a process that can provide value, and unfortunately, SWOT is considered one form of doing that. The concept of ES emphasizes the importance of recognizing the external environment. It considers the interconnectedness of economies, industries and socio-political changes. True ES involves comprehensive research and intensive unbiased analysis.
But like most tools designed to provide value, ES can be executed poorly and consider only the already-known and obvious, or highlight the irrelevant. The analytical "advanced Excel" guru can be very helpful in churning through the data but needs expert guidance to recognize what is important and what is not.
Manage by objectives (MBO) is another misguided but widely-used MBA tool. It basically says, "Here's the number: Now go get it by any means necessary!" That's hardly management or leadership.
The balanced scorecard is another product of the MBA world, widely used and frequently useless. It is reported that more than 50 percent of corporations use some form of it, and Harvard (home to the book's authors) has declared it one of the most important business ideas developed in decades.
The initial thinking behind it (I resist the temptation to refer to the scorecard as BS) was commitment to a well-rounded system of key performance metrics. That's very valid. No company should measure status, objectives and progress by only its financials.
Profits are important, but hardly the only thing of importance in a truly excellent business. But "well-rounded" and "multi-faceted" as the most important new business idea speaks poorly of all business people. Surely we don't find this earth-shattering.
The authors have further developed the scorecard into a technique for converting strategy into implementation tactics, adding to existing methodologies. Means to effectively implement strategy is obviously important. Without that, strategy development is a waste of time.
Answer this question: How do you picture your vision, mission and values manifesting themselves 10 years in the future? Without answering this important question, traipsing through the weeds of today's products, markets and tactics will sap your energy and strategy will be reactionary more than visionary.
Identify the top few (three to five) breakthrough changes your organization must successfully achieve to fulfill that picture. Prioritized, this high-level sense of direction provides the basis of your strategy.
Yes, these must reflect a grasp of the total current environment; coherent expectations of the future are even more important. For example, anyone who ignores accelerating speed and technology is not being realistic.
Flexibility to leverage highly variable and uncontrollable aspects of the future (e.g., trade laws) is a requirement of all strategies.
Select and master any process you believe fits your organization to translate those high-level yet specific objectives into aligned tactical actions. One-year and three-year milestones should be defined.
Hoshin, which specifically includes intermediate objectives, and balanced scorecard are two methodologies, but hardly the only ones.
The process used must integrate responsibility, accountability, time and a constant tie to strategy and long-term objectives. Without constantly reinforcing why, who, when and how, the strategy and your picture of the future will merely be a dream.
The only silver bullet in business is a questioning mind coupled with commitment and vision. If those don't reside internally, an MBA and its standard tools are not the only misuse of time and money that should concern you.

12. SS-Panzer-Division "Hitlerjugend" byla německá divize spadající pod Waffen-SS, která bojovala ve druhé světové válce. Většina mužstva se rekrutovala z členů mládežnické organizace Hitlerjugend.

Autorem myšlenky sestavit mládežnickou elitní jednotku byl SS-Obergruppenführer Gottlob Berger, který stál v čele Hlavního úřadu SS. Od léta 1943 bylo odvedeno – částečně z branně výcvikových táborů HJ – přes 10 000 dobrovolníků, které cvičil kmenový personál elitního útvaru Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler.

Přes počáteční úspěchy divize pod velením SS-Brigadeführera Kurta Meyera (zvaného Panzer Meyer) při bojích na západě utrpěla velmi těžké ztráty. Nově zformovaná divize byla do značné míry rozprášena při ardenské ofenzívě a při operacích v Maďarsku.

Mining History
Heatherdale to resume Niblack drilling
First drill program at SE Alaska VMS project in nearly a decade North of 60 Mining News – November 6, 2020
Heatherdale Resources Ltd.
A production-sized ramp provides underground access to the Lookout deposit, which hosts the bulk of the resource at the Niblack copper-gold-silver-zinc project in Southeast Alaska.
Restructured and under new leadership, Heatherdale Resources Ltd. is gearing up for a drill program to expand some of the high-grade targets at its Niblack copper-gold-silver-zinc project on Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska.
Heatherdale, which had advanced Niblack to the brink of considering the feasibility of mining the high-grade volcanogenic massive sulfide mineralization found there, became hampered by debt during the economic hardships endured by the junior mining sector in 2008 and again in 2012.
Rob McLeod, a geologist noted for his work in Alaska, British Columbia, and elsewhere, cut a deal earlier this year to breathe new life into this company that has laid dormant for the better part of a decade.
Blackwolf Copper and Gold Inc., an agent for McLeod and others, has agreed to assume roughly C$4 million that Heatherdale owes Hunter Dickinson Services Inc. In turn, Heatherdale issued Blackwolf 35 million shares to settle C$3.4 million of that debt.
This debt restructuring provides Heatherdale a clean balance sheet that will allow the company to attract the new capital needed to unlock Niblack's value and acquire new interests.
This creative deal also provides McLeod with 11.4% of Heatherdale's stock, making him the single largest shareholder of the company.
Further details of this deal and plans for Heatherdale moving forward can be found at McLeod brings new vision to Heatherdale in the June 26 edition of North of 60 Mining News.
After completing a share consolidation and raising C$5.8 million in August, the renewed Heatherdale is now prepared to carry out the first drill program at Niblack in nearly a decade.
According to a 2011 calculation, the Lookout and Trio deposits at Niblack host 5.64 million metric tons of indicated resource averaging 0.95% (118.1 million pounds) copper, 1.75 grams per metric ton (317,220 ounces) gold, 29.5 g/t (5.35 million oz) silver, and 1.73% (215 million lb) zinc; plus 3.39 million metric tons of inferred resource at 0.81% (60.7 million lb) copper, 1.33 g/t (144,710 oz) gold, 20.1 g/t (2.19 million oz) silver and 1.29% (96.3 million lb) zinc.
This resource does not include step-out drilling completed at the Trio zone in 2012.
"Subsequent to the last drilling program at Niblack in 2012, relogging, mapping, age dating and compilation efforts have resulted in a significant geologic reinterpretation of the mineralizing system, opening multiple areas to target for exploration and resource expansion " said Robert McLeod, President and CEO of Heatherdale.
Slated to begin by mid-November, the drilling carried out by Heatherdale before the end of this year is expected to involve 3,000 meters of surface and underground drilling to target extensions of Lookout, which host the bulk of this resource, as well as extensions of the historic Niblack Mine, the source of very high-grade ore produced at the onset of the 20th century.
"The new structural interpretation at the historic mine, which direct-shipped high-grade copper ore and the down-dip extension of the Lookout Zone are compelling targets; in both areas, we will be following up on previous, high-grade copper, gold, silver and zinc drill results. Finally, step out drilling at the Lookout Zone will be completed with the objective of expanding mineral resources," said McLeod.
According to Alaska territorial government records, roughly 30,000 tons of ore averaging 3.2% copper, 1.3 g/t gold, and 21 g/t silver was mined from Niblack from 1902 through 1906.
Heatherdale says that previous operators have drilled 22 holes around this historic mining. One such hole, LO-065, cut 4.6 meters averaging 5.8% copper, 2.3 g/t gold, 3.8% zinc, and 63.2 g/t silver; and another, LO-067, cut 4.9 meters averaging 5.1% copper, 13.1 g/t gold, 4% zinc, and 149.1 g/t silver.
Heatherdale says a geologic reinterpretation of the host-rock units, together with radiometric age-dating, suggests that high-grade VMS-style mineralization outcropping along the shoreline adjacent to the historic Niblack Mine, is hosted within an overturned antiform- (upward convex) type fold. This structure appears to plunge to the east, suggesting to Heatherdale geologists that the mineralization is wide open for expansion along trend and plunge from the historic stopes and high-grade historic intercepts.
Heatherdale plans to drill at least four initial holes in the historic mine area.
Extensions of the Lookout deposit, which can be accessed through a production-sized underground ramp driven in the 2000s by previous operators, are also on the docket for drilling this year.
The massive sulfide mineralization running through the core of Lookout can be as much as 100 meters thick and averages around 15 meters, making it potentially amenable to bulk underground mining methods.
One of the areas to be tested this year is the potential down-dip continuation of this thick zone.
In addition to the historic Niblack Mine and deposits that host the current resource, several other mineral occurrences have been identified along a prospective rhyolite sequence that extends for at least three miles across the property.
Toward this goal, drilling at Lookout will step out from previous underground hole U074, which cut 1.5 meters averaging 2% copper, 3.25 g/t gold, 23.3% zinc and 90 g/t silver. Heatherdale said this intercept is stratigraphically underlain by a broad interval of enhanced gold, silver and zinc that is interpreted to be a proximal geochemical signature that could develop into another significant massive sulfide zone.
The purpose of initial drilling in this area of Lookout is to vector towards large accumulations of mineralization.
Underground drilling is also planned to step-out from the current resource, targeting a significant gap in drilling to the west that has potential to add significant tonnage at above average grades. Drill holes will target a 100- by 75-meter area adjacent to wide and high-grade mineralization previously encountered through drilling at Lookout.
Due to the size of this Lookout extension target, additional step-out holes will also be completed targeting this area during early 2021.
CORRECTION: The copper grade for the Lookout and Trio inferred resource is 0.81%. The inferred copper resource grade was incorrect in the original article and was corrected on Jan. 6, 2021. North of 60 Mining News apologizes for any confusion.

Decoy: Retro TV's First Woman With A Badge?
Before Charlie's Angels in 1976 – 1981, before Angie Dickinson played Sergeant Pepper Anderson in Police Woman from 1974 to 1978, even before Anne Francis reinvented Honey West in one 1965-1966 season that became a bit of a cult favorite, there was New York Police Officer Casey Jones, memorably played by Beverly Garland in the 1957-1958 season's Decoy.
Now only a retro TV and pop culture forgotten footnote, Decoy was actually a groundbreaking series. Inspired in part by the successful Jack Webb series Dragnet, Decoy was the first TV show to film on location in New York City, the first show to feature a police woman as its main character and, in fact, the first full-season dramatic series to feature a female protagonist at all.
As with Dragnet, Garland provides voice-over narration to introduce the episodes, bridge scenes, and sometime break the 'fourth wall' to offer a summation at the episode's end. Little is revealed about Officer Casey Jones' personal life. She has no regular partner, and normally works out of different precincts, assigned to handle a wide variety of cases and crimes, sometimes in uniform, more often undercover. There's a wonderfully gritty urban edge in almost every episode, making the most of the locations, with only selected scenes shot on interior sets built in New York's 26th Street Armory. Tight budgets and fast-paced six-day per week schedules demanded on-the-fly filming with few amenities: No plush stars' trailers, the actors changing in apparel store dressing rooms, using restaurant restrooms and wearing thermals under their costumes during winter time shoots (though Garland usually had to forego even a sweater because it made her uniform look too bulky). Beverly Garland often did her own stunts and fight scenes. Known primarily as a B-Movie actress at this point, though actually one of Hollywood's more reliable TV actors, Garland does a magnificent job in diverse roles and situations, sometimes playing a no-nonsense uniformed cop or more often going undercover as everything from a thief to a junkie, a nightclub singer to an asylum inmate. Officer Casey Jones is consistently capable, smart, aggressive but compassionate, a good shot and handy in tussle, and best of all, seems to command the full respect of her fellow officers and superiors. Garland gets down and dirty for some undercover roles, and glams it up in others, in what must have been one hell of a part for an actor to play.
I know there are some episodes on YouTube, and I've seen public domain DVD sets with a few episodes each in used bookstore bargain bins, but I can't vouch for the picture or audio quality on those. Once I read about this series, I bit the bullet and bought the Film Chest Media Group Complete Series DVD Set, and the quality is really top notch, the visuals darn near as striking as a period film noir, just as the scripts pulled no punches on some pretty edgy stuff for the time.
Sadly, the series only lasted one season. Right from the start, the networks and potential sponsors were uneasy about a dramatic series with a female lead, and a cop show at that. Westinghouse was the primary sponsor, but when the series failed to deliver the hoped for viewership, it was cancelled, though it continued in syndication for the next seven years.
If you get a chance to see some episodes of Decoy, I think you'll agree that it's a surprisingly mature and well-made show for its time, and Beverly Garland did some memorable work when roles like this simply didn't exist. Do look for it.

Historic victory in battle for gender equality: ILO Convention to End Violence and Harassment in the Workplace adopted
UNI celebrates new convention and calls on governments to ratify it immediately to prevent epidemic of gender-based violence it the workplace
UNI Global Union, spearheaded by its UNI Equal Opportunities team, have long been part of the struggle to make the ILO Convention to End Violence and Harassment in the Workplace a reality. Today that major step forward in the battle for gender equality finally happened with the adoption of the Convention on the last day of the ILO's International Labour Conference (ILC) in Geneva.
UNI Global Union General Secretary, Christy Hoffman said, "Make no mistake this is a historic moment and a major victory for women and equality. Forty years ago, you would never have imagined this convention as a global standard , but thanks to the tireless work of trade unions, women's organisations and other enlightened groups we have finally delivered a legacy for our daughters.
UNI's Head of Equal Opportunities, Veronica Fernandez Mendez, who led UNI's push for the Convention at at the ILC this week, said, "What a fantastic way for the International Labour Organisation to celebrate its 100th anniversary. It has been a long time coming but we now have a legally binding convention which will be ratified and implemented globally. This Convention will help save the lives, pain and hardship of millions of women across the world.
The significance of this Convention cannot be overstated; what's particularly satisfying is that it includes a reference to 'domestic violence' – don't forget that in some countries it is still lawful for husbands to hit their wives. The inclusion of 'domestic violence' and procedures to protect and assist victims at work is a huge win!"
The next step is that member states will be asked to ratify and domesticate it and then regularly report on measures taken to implement it. It places responsibilities on both employers and governments to eliminate sexual violence and harassment from the workplace.
The new law addresses the shocking reality revealed by UN statistics that 35 per cent of women – 818 million women globally – over the age of 15 have experienced sexual or physical violence at home, in their communities or in the workplace. More than one in three countries have no laws against sexual harassment in the workplace: an estimated 235m women are left unprotected.
The ILO has created excellent international labour standards on workers' rights but in its 100 year history this is the first time it has made a global law against workplace harassment and gender-based violence.
Gender-based violence is not about an individual but rather a systemic evil. Victims are targeted for many different reasons – their gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, class or race. It undermines workers and makes them afraid to speak out because they know it will probably result in them losing their job or being further victimised. This power imbalance enables employers to pay pitiful wages that do not support families, and get away with unsafe workplaces, further compounding a culture of violence and harassment on the job.
The new convention is finally a step in the right direction towards rectifying a situation which goes against the human rights enshrined by the United Nations for seventy years.

Wyoming wine refers to wine made from grapes grown in the U.S. state of Wyoming. There are no designated American Viticultural Areas in Wyoming.  The state has two commercial wineries, Table Mountain Vineyards in Huntley and Wyoming Wine in Sheridan. Table Mountain Vineyards is Wyoming's largest with a  vineyard and produced 3,000 gallons in 2007 from 100% Wyoming grapes.  The winery helped pave the way for the Wyoming Grape and Wine Association (WGWA) which focuses on expanding and developing the Wyoming grape industry.  Table Mountain Vineyards has paired up with several wineries in western Nebraska to promote wineries along the historic emigration trails, including the Oregon Trail.

Laurel, strawberry tree, myrtle, broom, carob, oak, and rosemary emanate aromas that instill a sense of relaxation and surrender to the pleasures of nature. There is the scent of tranquility in the air, a pleasant idleness coming from long readings, sips of wine, tasting menus and quiet walks along the nearby trails of Mount Soprano, where many locals go in search of asparagus and mushrooms. You will experience the reality of a small village typical of South Italy in the nearby old town of Capaccio, with its Gardens of Piazza Tempone overlooking the vast plain of Paestum, and the Rizzo Salon, the former village barbershop which today is a very characteristic tourist information center. With long afternoons spent in the pool after returning from excursions, with its solarium and hydro-massage corner time will stand still. For those sportier of you, mountain bikes can be rented to explore Cilento Park through fascinating nature trails that will reveal the landscape diversity of the terrain.

Napster fate on hold over weekend
John Borland
Aug. 30, 2002 12:47 p.m. PT
John Borland Staff Writer, CNET News.com
covers the intersection of digital entertainment and broadband.
Napster's last day in bankruptcy court, which will determine whether or not it winds up in the hands of German media giant Bertelsmann, was delayed until Tuesday morning.
Tuesday is the last day before Bertelsmann's $9 million offer for Napster's assets expires, and Bertelsmann lawyers have indicated they are unwilling to extend the offer. Napster's creditors supported the buyout in a brief court hearing Friday. A bankruptcy judge will hear objections from music publishers and record labels on Tuesday before making a final decision on the purchase. Bertelsmann has not indicated what role, if any, Napster's file-swapping technology would play in its new corporate strategy.

Since joining ScienceBlogs I have been in contact and discussion with the executive director of the American Physiological Society, discussing ways I might use my blog powers for good instead of solely evil. The APS has very kindly agreed to allow us (hang tight, I'm not asking for money, seriously) to fund an award at this year's Experimental Biology meeting for the undergraduate woman who submits the best abstract. Each year the APS awards seven David Bruce Awards for undergraduate research excellence and, within the structure of this program, the APS will be adding an eighth award specifically from me and my lovely readers (but I'm not asking for money. I promise). I really loved the idea of using my blog to encourage and reward a more junior scientist who had done excellent work and visiting these undergraduate poster presentations are really a highlight for me each year.
You can help fund the award by simply visiting On Becoming a Domestic and Laboratory Goddess. So far the fundraising is apparently going very well, and Dr. Isis says "If you keep visiting the way you are now (or maybe one extra click more a day to help a sister out? or maybe you would tell one friend about the blog?) we're going to be able to do something much bigger than I initially anticipated we would. Much." So go and read!
If you need somewhere to start, you might want to begin with her post about Marion Diamond, then continue on from there. You won't regret it.

There are and will be a variety of responses; it will be a time of trauma and disbelief for many, especially as we learn of the horrors which the children have been forced to endure.
Each of us chose to incarnate at this time to assist in our own way in bringing forth the New Golden Age of Aquarius–an Age characterized by familial love for all people, world peace, and prosperity for all. When humans first arrived on planet Earth, we came because we wanted to evolve spiritually within an environment of duality–good and evil. The goal was to learn to transform evil into good. For example, we are presently learning about the rampant Pedophilia that has characterized our societies. The question we confront is: How can we transform this situation in order to positively deal with this problem? We have/will have many very troubled children and adults that will need compassionate understanding, guidance, and healing. Parents, siblings, teachers, and relatives will need the knowledge that will allow them to be compassionate. Professional therapists are simply one part of the solution. For best results, the healing needs to be holistic; we all need to join together to create an environment in which the adults and children can heal.
This song by Dr. Kay Johnson-Gentile seems to me to be a helpful one for children and adults: "I Am the Artist." We can assist in transforming a life of abuse or abusing into a positive by helping everyone to know that he/she is the artist of their future life. We–those who have not been touched by this traumatic situation–can also decide how we can assist in transforming this evil into a good.

We are honoured to be supporting the third edition of BFI Luminous – a cinematic gala dinner raising funds for the British Film Festival.
This year's event was focused on the BFI's specialist education and skills development programmes to provide opportunity, inspiration and support to the next generation of film talent. At the heart of BFI Education is the BFI National Archive, one of the world's richest film collections.
The marvellous gala was hosted by BFI Chair Josh Berger, BFI CEO Amanda Nevill and presented by Jonathan Ross in the historic splendour of the Guildhall in London. The evening started with a charming speech from a special guest – Tilda Swinton, who shared the story of her beginnings as an actress.
The BFI's Back The Future campaign for young people in film was a great success.
