With the amount of time that is spent on scouting and recruiting the best, top-level leaders, for an organization, it'll no doubt sound counterproductive if I say that it is the mid-level management that holds the key to their success.
I have a good reason to say so.
The mid-level leadership emphasis
Middle managers are the backbone of any organization.
With the power to reach the employees at the very bottom of the organization, mid-level managers have multiple hats to wear. They can teach, supervise, motivate, reward, correct, and give your employees the personal recognition and acknowledgment that they so need from their workplace. Your ability to implement a significant change or innovation, in fact, falls mostly on their shoulders.
They might get overlooked in the larger scheme of things but, they can make or break your organization.
The bridge between the company's upper and lower levels, mid-level managers are responsible not just for communication but also negotiation between the two. With access to multiple perspectives, they are familiar with the interactions and the limitations of both sides. The success of both, top-down and bottom-up initiatives depends on their acquiescence, agreement, and assistance.
Especially in light of the current trend of employees leaving their current positions to pursue new opportunities elsewhere (whether it is due to restricted growth, poor work culture, low pay, or rigid work practices), it is more important now, than ever for business leaders to hire the right people for these positions, and invest in their long-term satisfaction on the job.
Why mid-level managers can't fail
As is well known, bad leadership is expensive.
Generally speaking, if those in the middle management are unhappy, the employees who report to them will also be dissatisfied. When middle management fails, the effect trickles down to the lower levels of an organization, where customers are directly interacted with.
Appointing the wrong people in middle management positions can result in a decrease in morale and productivity, not to say, even disrupt the company's culture and increase employee turnover. Last Gallup estimated that poor leadership cost US corporations up to $550 billion annually.
Individuals chosen for middle management jobs must be nimble enough to walk the tightrope between executive management and lower-level employees. They need to be able to have effective communications and share bad news to employees without alienating them. They also need to be sufficiently confident (and competent) to stand up to the upper management if need be. Because if they fail (which they can't; the organization's short- as well as long-term goals, are at stake), it won't be a matter of replacing just one employee.
And so, the question becomes, how can you convince your managers that they play a crucial role? How can you encourage them and teach them the value of their voice? How can you get them to understand their worth?
Short answer – equip your organization's middle managers with the knowledge and resources they need to thrive, resulting in a virtuous cycle that benefits everyone in the business.
Long answer –
Prioritize skill development
It's easy for middle managers to get bogged down by the sheer amount of work they have to complete, the amount of people management they have to handle directly, and the pressure to meet or exceed high expectations.
Their chances of success on the job can be improved through participation in training programs (such as online courses, conferences, retreats, and mentorship programs). The competencies you can focus on?
- Self-Awareness
- Influence/mentoring
- Strategy
- Strategic Thinking
- Effective communication
- Learning Agility
- Conflict resolution
- Change management and adaptability
Keep in mind that acquiring and honing such expertise isn't a one-and-done deal; you'll need to encourage consistent, long-term effort alongside self-awareness and intrinsic motivation.
Establish Connection
Never leave your managers in the dark. If there doesn't already exist one, create a process to update them regarding the progress on ongoing projects and decisions. Managers in the middle level benefit from hearing from both upper-level executives and their direct reports. Knowing the purpose behind their actions and understanding the bigger picture will enhance their motivation, leadership abilities, as well as output.
Investing heavily in the morale of middle managers is also essential for shaping them into great leaders. Those in the middle management often put in long hours and carry a heavy workload. Help them strike a better balance between their job and personal lives. You may offer them gym memberships, reduce their hours on Fridays, and push them to use their PTOs besides, of course, establishing formal mental well-being policies at work.
Encourage dialogue
Keep in mind that your company's ability to adapt to, and profit from, change and innovation hinges in large part on the work of its mid-level managers. Knowing the ins and outs of your business as well as they do, managers have an upper hand when it comes to planning for the future and implementing change. Hear them out and think about what they have to say. You could be pleasantly surprised by their ingenuity and common sense.
As swiftly as we are moving towards flat hierarchies and flexible ways of reaching out to organizational stakeholders, the relevance of structure remains. Employee accountability and satisfaction can help navigate the ship, but the direction that comes from a captain cannot be eliminated entirely. Not only do employees benefit from having a manager who guides, mentors, and supports them, but organizations, also, thrive when mid-level managers act as pillars for their everyday operations – ready to take the bigger mantle when the time comes.

If you read those lines you should already be convinced of the advantages from hiring a professional photographer.
Sometimes the high demands of sophisticated photography resulting from distinct expertise and specialized technologies are grossly underestimated. During my longstanding career I had to face many challenges from which I was able to obtain valuable experience, but I haven't lost the individual attitude towards each and every assignment disregarding its scale or the prestige of the subject matter. My professionalism always dictates a serious approach and the evasion of stereotypes and cliches.
I can offer you my services for photography of:
- architecture (interior and exterior)
- portraits (on location or in a studio)
- photos of merchandise and objects
- foodstuffs and beverages (in an arrangement or alone)
- landscapes
- paintings, sculptures and other works of art
- ceremonies, festivities and events
I can also be of service for the resolution of common photography problems such as:
- restoration of old photos and retouch
- quality improvement of amateur digital photos
- selection of appropriate photography techniques
- holistic photography solutions
I work out of a professionally equipped studio and have the means for digital as well as traditional photography on film in medium and large formats.

How Homer Brings Home Flavors From Afar, As Seen Through Five Dishes
Since opening in 2018, Homer has developed a reputation as the kind of restaurant every diner wishes they had just down the street. The draw: craveable, shareable dishes best eaten with your hands; a cozy dining room always abuzz; cocktails perfect for a nightcap; and soft serve ice cream served through a window out front for when you just want a sweet treat.
It's exactly the kind of place owners Logan Cox and Sara Knowles envisioned when they opened the Beacon Hill spot just a few blocks from their own home.
As designer, Knowles made sure the restaurant walks the line between chic and whimsical. And as chef, Cox built the menu around the Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavors he's long been drawn to, cooking plants and proteins alike in the wood-fired oven that holds court in the back corner of the open kitchen. In fact, Cox says the temperature of the oven informs the cadence of the day — pans of chickpeas go in when it's hottest to get properly obliterated for the creamiest hummus; chicken roasts as it cools; pita is baked to a glorious puff for 30 seconds or so before it hits the table.
It's a dance Cox and his team haven't had to do publicly for awhile, but after well over a year of takeout — something they managed better than most, due to the fact that Homer's food is still so tasty at room temperature — they're back to welcoming (vaccinated) diners back into the restaurant and not just the charming patio in the alley next door.
"[It's been surreal] setting up the dining room again, but this is what we love doing," Cox says. "That first day was very weird, obviously, but you realize why we do this. The joy of cooking for people and serving them, having that sort of energy back in the dining room, putting food on plates. It's been so great."
Much has evolved over these past months (better outdoor seating! to-go cocktails!), but Homer's menu, as always, is influenced more by the seasons than by supply issues, thanks in large part, Cox says, to the fact that so much of it is plant-based.
We talked with Cox and Knowles to hear the stories behind a few of their most-beloved menu items, both new additions and fan favorites they say won't ever come off the menu.
1. Kuri Coco Cocktail
Knowles: "I picked this because it's my favorite, and I like that it really does use something from the menu."
Cox: "So, there's squash bisque and coconut syrup [plus Angostura bitters and aged rum] used in the cocktail, so it's this funky play on 'we use local produce!' but with a fun tiki vibe. It's also garnished with a lime leaf, so it has a kind of curry feel to it."
Knowles: "It does have that more playful edge, and it complements the food really well. In light of reopening, anything we could do to invest and imbue this place with a sense of excitement — whether that was new dishes or having a brand-new cocktail program [consulted on by bartender Zac Overman of L'Oursin] — felt good, just to be doing things other than ordering more takeout containers."
2. Pita and Various Dips
Cox: "I've always been obsessed with this Mediterranean/Middle Eastern style of eating, the flavor profiles, how it's very jovial, familiar, and people are eating with their hands. I think pita was my one focus when I wrote the original business plan. I was like, I want dips, and I want pita. But the way I nailed down the recipe specifically is that Sara and I and her entire family and their partners went to Morocco for two weeks. We spent one week hiking in the Atlas Mountains and a week in Marrakech. The bread there isn't quite like pita, it's spongier, and it's primarily made with semolina, which I'd never seen before. So, I utilized that by having a portion of semolina in the actual dough, which makes it also a little chewier, but you still have the puff effect of a traditional pita dough. It's kind of a blend of both.
"The dips do change — we always have the labneh with dried tomatoes and mint and the hummus because those are the ones I think you'd expect, and then we have something seasonal we change every six weeks or so. Like zucchini and cashew with raw garlic and lots of basil. Really, really tasty."
Knowles: "I think our goal throughout is to have the perfect amount of things you know you're going to get, and then some exciting new stuff. I feel like the dips and bread are just Homer in a nutshell."
3. Pea Shoots and Whey With Labneh and Chamomile
Cox: "This is one of my favorites, and I actually made this dish when I worked at Sitka & Spruce. I loved it so much that I was like, 'This will be on the menu every spring at whatever restaurant I'm cooking at.' It's basically English peas that we serve with labneh, chanterelle breadcrumbs, pea shoots and chamomile. We cook the peas in a broth made of whey. So, we'll make the labneh, reserve the whey, reduce it with all the pea shells we shucked and lots of ginger and chamomile and garlic, reduce that down by 75% so it's really intense, but still acidic and floral. And then we'll gently warm the peas in that broth with some butter, add some pickled ramps so you get little acidic bites. A dollop of labneh on the side. And we make chanterelle breadcrumbs with dehydrated chanterelles and garlic and breadcrumbs, so you have this crunchy element off the side. Garnish with mint and pea shoots. When I first made it, I was like 'Man, this is so delicious.' It'll come back every spring."
Knowles: "Plus, it's so bright and colorful, it's spring personified."
4. Lamb Ragu
Knowles: "This one is just…" *chef's kiss*
Cox: "This dish is, I think, the reason why we were in GQ's Best Restaurants in America, 2019. [The author] had that, and it's the only thing he talked about when he's describing our food."
Knowles: "It is a special dish for sure. I know when I moonlight as a server here, I always tell people, 'You gotta get that'! I don't think it's necessarily an obvious choice, because it's not easily translatable to words. But if I had to pick one dish on this entire menu, it would be that one."
Cox: "We also use whey for this, too. We take lamb shoulder and braise it in whey. We started doing that from day one. And we've reserved that whey over and over and over again, so it's just super concentrated lambiness — kind of like how you cook master stock chicken, that classic dish. We incorporate that technique into lamb shoulder, so we just reuse it and strain it, reuse it and strain it. And then season with berbere, cinnamon, Aleppo chile, and fold in some yogurt to make it kind of creamy and reinforce that whey flavor that it's been cooking in. It sits on our tahini, which is a recipe I've been working on for a long time, too.
"We use a multitude of different acidic elements to make it have a kind of miso quality, which I'm particularly proud of because I thought that was a creative approach, to have a different take on a more traditional tahini. So that umami flavor on the bottom, with the lamb and all that richness, and you dip in there, get the creamy, get the umami and the spice and everything. It's just an awesome one-bite shot. Especially with all the bright, feathery herbs on top, too."
5. Soft Serve
Knowles: "The inspiration for the soft serve was that we wanted from day one to make this place approachable, to fit the neighborhood. And this was one way to make it feel more familial, casual, to be very mindful that there's a little bit of something for everyone. We wanted to have a more playful versus a more structured dessert. It's also a really fun way to use local, seasonal ingredients."
Cox: "Everyone's had vanilla and chocolate soft serve, but not many people have had preserved lemon, or blackberry chamomile. We change once a month or so. Our chef de cuisine Caroline [Pond] and I discuss what we're going to do. I think we'll do something with melon, anise hyssop or lemon balm soon.
"It's also pretty enticing because people are like, 'Yeah, soft serve…' But these are housemade bases with really exciting flavors. It gives you a true carnival experience with a touch of finesse and je ne sais quoi. The machines are the biggest headache of my life, because now we have [second restaurant] Milk Drunk down the street. I feel like I've become a technician in the last few years. But knowing how to fix them yourself is pretty clutch."
Knowles: "Soft serve was also our little segue here into doing the window, which — we didn't predict this — but it ended up being a) really helpful during a pandemic, and b) an easy way for people on the patio to get cocktails. And people just really like getting things through a window, it's cute. Just having those more quirky elements helped us not feel like we were putting fine dining into the neighborhood."

It's a sad day for Grey's Anatomy fans as another beloved character has announced her departure from the show. Ellen Pompeo, who stars in the show as Meredith Grey (yes, the Grey in Grey's Anatomy) is preparing to exit the show after being in it for 19 seasons.
On Instagram, the actress penned a love letter to her fans:
"I am eternally grateful and humbled by the love and support you have all shown me, Meredith GREY and the show for 19 seasons! Through it all….none of it …would have been possible without the best fans in the world. You all are RIDERS and you all have made the ride so fun and ICONIC!!
I love you madly and appreciate you right back. This isn't your first time on the rollercoaster… you know the show must go on and I'll definitely be back to visit. With a lot of love and immense gratitude XoE 🙏🏼❤"
Among the original cast members, the last two remaining in the show are Chandra Wilson and James Pickens Jr., who both play Dr. Miranda Bailey and Dr. Richard Webber. The two are among the original cast members from Grey's Anatomy Season 1, which premiered in 2005.
Does Meredith Grey Die in Grey's Anatomy?
Shonda Rhimes, the creator of the show, has long been rumored to kill off the characters of actors she doesn't like. She admitted this to Larry Wilmore's The Nightly Show (via ET Online) but says "I'm not naming names."
While the showrunner did not talk about this any further, there have been rumors that this character was T.R. Knight's George O'Malley on Grey's Anatomy. But then again, Shonda is also the executive producer and creator of several other shows like Scandal, Private Practice, and Bridgerton. It's hard to pinpoint exactly who she is talking about in the interview.
So did Shonda kill off Ellen Pompeo's character in Grey's Anatomy? The answer is, no.
Last week, a promo teased an episode wherein Meredith prepares to leave for a fresh start in Boston. Another piece of evidence we have that Meredith won't suffer the same fate as her husband, Derek Shepherd (played by Patrick Dempsey), can be found in Ellen's farewell note. The actress says that she'll "definitely be back to visit."

Adding to that is the fact that Shonda answered Ellen's post with:
"What a wild ride these past 19 seasons have been. None of it could have been possible without the incomparable @ellenpompeo, the one and only Meredith Grey. This isn't a goodbye, it's a see ya later! Can't wait to see what's in store for Ellen, Meredith and Grey Sloan Memorial. #greysanatomy."
Will Ellen Pompeo Be In Grey's Anatomy Season 19?
Yes, Ellen is still on Grey's Anatomy Season 19. However, this is her final season.
Prior to her farewell note, there were already reports that Ellen will have a limited role in this season. The previous rumors shared that Ellen will be scaling back her role to only 8 episodes. But as of this writing, she's already appeared in 7 episodes of Grey's Anatomy Season 19.
Ellen's final appearance on Grey's Anatomy will air in February, but she assured fans that she is open to returning in the future.
She will remain as an executive producer of the show and will continue to provide voiceover narration.
Is Ellen Pompeo Reuniting With Patrick Dempsey in a New Show?
Many fans were quick to speculate that the reason behind Ellen's departure from the show is so she could join her former co-star in a new show. But when asked about this, Patrick Dempsey told Entertainment Weekly:
"I saw that too. I think it's just probably because the show is on… and of course she's made an announcement, I think, about leaving the show or she's not on this season. It just is a real testament to the fans that they want to see that couple still together and what an impact it is.
But no, I haven't read anything, I haven't seen anything, and I haven't talked to her about it."
Ellen Pompeo has appeared in more than 400 episodes of Grey's Anatomy ever since it premiered in 2005.

I Dwell In Possibility: Artworks Selected by Tod Marshall, WA State Poet Laureate 2016-18
Washington's Poet Laureate Tod Marshall (2016-2018): "Like poetry, works of art can affect us in different ways. Sometimes a poem will imply a story: 'broken bowl/the pieces/still rocking' (by Penny Harter). Was the bowl dropped, thrown down in anger, accidentally bumped because someone was daydreaming about a childhood? We'll never know, but the image resonates and language has given us a glimpse into an actual or imagined world. That's one of the things art can do. I have chosen a wide range of works in the State Art Collection; some emphasize song-like movement of color or line; some have political resonance; some ask us to see nature in a different way; some tell us stories about the creators (or ourselves). My title for this gallery comes from an Emily Dickinson poem; I hope that you enjoy these works and that they reveal the many possibilities in which art allows us to dwell."

Costs limiting healthy school meal options for pupils ministers warned
Written by First Choice Radio on 4 July 2022
Schools are limiting healthy meal options for pupils due to budget pressures, ministers have been warned.
Children's learning is also being put at risk by the impact of "sky-rocketing" energy bills on resources for schools, Labour told MPs.
Speaking at education questions in the House of Commons, Labour MP Ruth Cadbury (Brentford and Isleworth) said: "Schools are telling us that standstill funding, inflation and rising energy costs mean they're having to limit the numbers of healthy options in school meals.
"The Government agrees with us that good, healthy school meals are essential for children to be able to thrive, especially as for more and more children school dinner is their only hot meal.
"Yet the schools minister has said in relation to school meals it was up to schools to 'manage their own individual budgets'. Is that the best the Government can serve up?"
Schools minister Robin Walker replied: "Our increases in school funding have been frontloaded to rapidly get money to the schools; this year core schools funding is increasing by £4 billion… our national formula also targets this funding towards deprivation, it includes a FSM (free school meals) factor, which means all pupils on free school meals will attract additional funding.
"The total amount allocated through deprivation factors in the national formula is increasing by £225 million or 6.7% in the next year compared to last year."
For Labour, shadow schools minister Stephen Morgan also said: "Sky-rocketing energy bills are squeezing school budgets.
"The latest data suggests prices have almost doubled in the first quarter of this year alone, with cost pressures putting children's learning at risk."
He asked when the Government will bring forward extra support to help schools "keep the lights on".
Mr Walker reiterated that additional funding was in place and flagged data relating to the end of the last academic year, which he said showed 97% of academy trusts were in "cumulative surplus or breaking even" and 92% of local authority maintained schools were in that situation.
"An improvement in both cases from the year before," he added.

On the northern of the two hills was a citadel, and on the southern the great temple of Jupiter Capitolinus. The temple, whose founding is traditionally attributed to the early king Tarquin, seems to have preserved its original 6th-century plan through successive rebuildings. The capital was approached by its own street, the Clivus Capitolinus. The Sibylline books were kept here, and rock-cut chambers underneath were apparently used as secret treasuries. Here too the consuls made their sacrifices and took their vows upon taking up office, and generals returning in triumph came to give thanks for their victory. The northern site, that of the citadel, is now covered by the church of Santa Maria in Aracoeli, while the site of the great temple is partly covered by the Palazzo Caffarelli.

The public relations division of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Sunday that an officer from the IRGC was shot dead by unknown assailants in Tehran.
Close to the Iranian parliament complex in eastern Tehran, Colonel Sayyad Khodayari was attacked by two motorcycle-borne assailants in his car outside his home.
Adding that he was hit with at least five bullets in the neck and arms, state media said that the incident took place at around 16:00 local time on Sunday.
The division expressed that the assailants were being pursued by intelligence and security agencies.
So far, no group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The slain officer was reportedly associated with IRGC's Quds Force and had spent years in Syria.
In an indirect reference to Israel, the IRGC in a statement said that the attack was carried out by "counter-revolutionary forces and elements related to global arrogance."
Even though Tel Aviv has never officially claimed responsibility, Iran has blamed Israel for the assassination of several top military officials and scientists in recent years.
The IRGC announced the arrest of a "network of thugs," which it said was guided by Israeli spy agency and intended to carry out kidnappings, soon after the attack.

WATCH: Israel Forever
My vision for Israel advocacy is to empower students through the power of narrative and to captivate audiences using the power of art. Israel gives expression to the sum and substance of peoplehood, and the destiny and promise of cultural revival that comes with self-rule. Thats what I wanted to capture in this video, created in collaboration with Jerusalem U.
When they ask you why you're still here
tell them it's to make history
to become legendary
to build something the world has never seen before
an indigenous people reborn
Tell them that some classics
simply never go out of style
That you've still got it
And though you've been to hell and back
no one can break your stride
Tell them that this is what willpower looks like
what a warrior looks like
against all odds, invincible
Despite all obstacles
When they ask you why you're still here
tell them it's where you belong
Tell them, after all these years, you've finally come home.

Gaurav Solanki and Manish Kaushik punched their way to gold as India ended their Poland sojourn with six medals at the XXXVI Feliks Stamm International Boxing tournament. Apart from the two gold medals, the Indian pugilists clinched a silver medal and three bronze medals in their road to World Championships.
Commonwealth Games gold medallist Solanki steamrolled through England's William Cawley in the 52kg category to clinch the tie 5-0. The 23-year-old Kaushik, too, bagged the yellow metal with ease Morocco's Mohamed Hamout was no match to him.
Despite producing a strong show against Russia's Muhammad Shekhov, Mohammed Hussamuddin had to settle for silver in the bantamweight category.
In the 69kg and 91kg weight categories, Mandeep Jangra and Sanjeet respectively proved to be of no match as Russia's Vadim Musaev and New Zealand's David Nyika obliterated them 5-0 in the semi-finals.
In the 64kg event, Ankit Khatana gave a tough fight to Damian Durkacz but the judges awarded the bout to the Polish boxer 3-2 in the other semifinal.
Overall, it was a great outing by the Indian boxers as they got to know the weaknesses of other pugilists whom they might face in the World Championships later this year. The fifteen-day tournament will commence from September 7 in Yekaterinburg in Russia, with India anything more than a solo bronze which they won in the edition of the tournament.

What are Joggers and How to Wear Them?
Joggers are beautiful and edgy pieces that can create
chic looks for all occasions and all times. This should be noted that joggers
are not leggings. They aren't sweatpants either.
These pieces are much cooler and their main is
to be lighter with lighter material. When they were first designed, they were
aimed to be used for jogging. So, it makes sense that they are lighter and
cooler. At this point, we know that sweatpants were designed to make one sweat
while jogging.
To one extent, we know that joggers were designed
to be comfortable and practical. Still, it is not a barrier between you and
creating a chic look with a jogger.
Why Are Black Faux Leather
Joggers Are Your Wardrobes Essential?
Black faux leather leggings have been around for a while. But faux leather joggers are kind of
new to the game. Still, they are doing well in winning everyone's hearts. One
reason for that is that they are comfy. Pockets are a huge need especially when
it comes to women's wear. Joggers usually fill in a gap created by a lack of
A second reason for that is how they can go well
with any occasion. Depending on your personal style, you can rock any look with
your black faux leather joggers. The thing is you can even dress up in
heels with joggers.
You may be tempted to think that joggers are for
jogging. Yes, they were first created for this aim. Still, fashion trends come
and go. And you should never forget that you can spice up things with the help
of your own imagination. Thus, you can wear your joggers with high heels or
sneakers, with tank tops or crop sweats. Simply, depending on your own style,
you can create a look in whichever way you like.
How to Wear Black Faux Leather
A Monochromatic Look
We've been telling you the magic of black and
simpleness. Monochromatic looks bring along the chicness of a basic and black
look. Keep your faux leather joggers and your tops black and wear them with any
accessories you wish. It will look elegant in any case.
Try Out Athleisure
Athleisure is a perfectly suitable trend for
faux leather joggers. Wear a cool cap and a crop sweat with your best sneakers.
Here you go. You'll look athletic yet elegant with the help of your cool
Wear Bodysuits
This one may come in handy both with black and white. Wear a thong bodysuit with your faux leather joggers and you are good to go. Either with a blazer or long-sleeved itself, bodysuits are great supporters of joggers.

Friends of Casco Bay works hard to reduce stormwater pollution. Stormwater delivers some of the largest loads of pollution into Casco Bay. As stormwater flows over our roads, driveways, parking lots, and buildings, it collects a toxic slurry. Instead of filtering into the soil, water sheets off these impervious surfaces, picking up pesticides and fertilizers from lawns, exhaust and salt from roadways, pathogens from pet waste, and so much more. Stormwater carries this toxic mix into our rivers and streams, and ultimately into Casco Bay, causing a host of water quality problems.
While stormwater pollution is very difficult to eliminate because it is so diffuse, we are making progress on this threat by ensuring that the Clean Water Act permits that regulate stormwater are effectively implemented.
We have good news to share on this front. We maintained the strength of the permit that regulates stormwater discharged from large urban stormwater systems into our watershed through a successful appeal to the Maine Board of Environmental Protection.
You may remember that last year we celebrated that Maine's new municipal separate storm sewer system (or, "MS4" as it is called) permit went into effect. For the first time, towns subject to the permit were required to develop LID ordinances to reduce pollution to the "maximum extent possible."
Late last year, the municipalities subject to this permit submitted their draft ordinances to the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for approval. To comply with the MS4 permit, the ordinances should have included nine mandatory LID strategies designed to reduce stormwater pollution from new construction and redevelopment. Although the drafts submitted by municipalities in our watershed did not contain all of these necessary elements, DEP approved the drafts.
To ensure the MS4 permit was properly implemented, we appealed DEP's approval of the incomplete ordinances to the Board of Environmental Protection, a seven-member citizen board that provides independent decisions on the interpretation and enforcement of Maine's environmental laws. This was our second appeal to the Board involving this MS4 permit, a decision that we did not take lightly but was needed to protect the Bay.
In November 2023, the Board of Environmental Protection agreed that DEP should not have approved the insufficient draft ordinances. The Board vacated the approvals and ordered DEP "to expeditiously set clear, specific, and measurable standards for the municipal LID ordinances." The municipalities the order applies to include Biddeford, Cape Elizabeth, Cumberland, Falmouth, Freeport, Gorham, Portland, Saco, Scarborough, South Portland, Westbrook, Windham, and Yarmouth.
We will continue to participate in the process to be certain the redrafted ordinances contain all of the necessary elements.

It was three weeks ago to this day that we put together a Romeo Okwara appreciation post. In it, we claimed the Lions edge defender was playing like a top-10 player at his position. At the time, Okwara ranked 10th in ESPN's pass rush win rate metric and was tied for sixth in PFF's Pass Rush Productivity statistic.
Well, it turns out top 10 may have been an underestimate of his abilities. After three more solid performances out of Okwara, he's now knocking on the door of being a top-five pass rusher in this league.
Okwara has moved up to seventh in ESPN's pass rush win rate metric—with a 24 percent success rate, same as J.J. Watt. As for PFF, he's now third in PFF's pass rush productivity metric among edge defenders with at least 100 pass rushing snaps, only trailing T.J. Watt and Joey Bosa.
Using another PFF metric—simple pressure rate—Okwara still cracks the top five:
Highest pressure rate this season:
— PFF (@PFF) November 17, 2020
1. T.J. Watt - 18.2%
2. Aaron Donald - 18%
3. Joey Bosa - 17.4%
4. Romeo Okwara - 17%
5. Chase Winovich- 16.5% pic.twitter.com/ahRIlZ28Sc
If there is one downside to Okwara's play this year, it's been his run defending. PFF has his run defense grade at just 49.8 this year, down from 64.5 last year.
While the raw statistics still remain somewhat pedestrian for Okwara—6.0 sacks, 12 QB hits—it's been a huge year for the 25-year-old defender, and it's coming just at the right time for him, too. His contract is up at the end of the year, and with the prime of his career still ahead of him, he could be in for a big payday.

Will Federal Workers Get the Gift of Extra Time Off at Christmas?
The answer depends on what day of the week that holiday falls on.
Every November, federal workers trying to plan out their Christmas in advance usually wonder if they will get any extra time off for Christmas, but the answer depends on what day of the week Christmas falls on.
Since Christmas falls on a Sunday this year, there will likely be no extra paid time off for Christmas Eve this season unless President Biden issues an executive order. Christmas Eve is not considered a federal holiday. Instead, workers will get the Monday after Christmas day off as an "in lieu of" holiday.
"If a holiday falls on a Saturday, for most federal employees, the preceding Friday will be treated as a holiday for pay and leave purposes," said the Office of Personnel Management on its website. "If a holiday falls on a Sunday, for most federal employees, the following Monday will be treated as a holiday for pay and leave."
In lieu of holidays are usually observed on a day preceding a holiday, but since Christmas is on a Sunday – a non-workday for most federal employees – the in lieu of holiday will occur on Monday, Dec. 26.
Still, there is a chance that the president may grant an extra day off or a shorter day for federal workers on Friday, Dec. 23, although recent history says that is unlikely. The last time Christmas fell on a Sunday, in 2016, federal workers did not get any extra time off. Half days have sometimes been issued when Christmas day falls on a Friday or Wednesday.
Presidents have been more generous with giving leave around Christmas in recent years, but precedent is against extra time off when Christmas falls on a weekend.
