Photographer's Note
I have already shown the facade of the main church in the Smolny monastery, here the charming little chapel (or bell tower?) in the complex.
Smolny Convent is situated on the bank of the River Neva. It consists of a cathedral (sobor) and a complex of buildings surrounding it, originally intended for a convent.The name "Smolny" derives from the location. In the early days of St. Petersburg the place at the edge of the city where pitch ("smola" in Russian) was processed for use in shipbuilding and maintenance. As a result, the locale was called "smolny" - the place of pitch.
This Russian Orthodox convent was built to house Elizabeth, the daughter of Peter the Great. After she was disallowed succession to the throne, she opted to become a nun. However, her Imperial predecessor, Ivan VI, was overthrown during a coup d'état (carried out by the royal guards in 1741). Elizabeth decided against entering monastic life and accepted the offer of the Russian throne. Work on the convent continued with her royal patronage.
For me, the most beautiful place in Petersburg.

Hello Malgo,
It's a very pretty chapel, and especially I like the onion shaped cupola. From this angle you had a perfect light and managed a very well exposed photo with superb colours. The other view was less favourable in terms of light but you still handled it well.
Kind regards,
Silvio1953 (189271) 2019-08-14 1:56
Ciao cara Malgo, lovely composition with beautiful Church well framed by trees, excellent clarity, splendid light and wonderful bright colors, very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio

Hello Malgo,
It doesn't look that little. The tower is even quite high.
It looks a little like the upper dome is bleeding.
Beautiful architeture well presented between the trees.
The colours and the brightness make the picture very attractive.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Malgo,
Such a beautiful and sunny day with a perfectly blue sky. The church looked at its best and you captured the details very well. It is nicely surrounded by those trees as well.

Je suis toujours impressionné par l'architecture religieuse du pays.
Elle est riche, raffinée, somptueuse.
Et puis, il y a cette terminaison étonnante du clocher en forme de bulbe !

carlo62 (80711) 2019-08-16 5:05
Ciao Malgo
da questo punto di vista la luce è sicuramente bellissima e la vista della cupola sormontata dalla "cipolla" è meravigliosa.
La foto del ws non godeva della stessa luce, ma è comunque interessante.

Hello Malgo,
I like this view through the trees, I also like the play between shadow and light. 👍🏻👍🏻

About Us
Our Mission, Our Goal, Our Purpose
Our mission is to support and promote female professionals primarily in the underrepresented field of Aerospace Engineering and secondarily in the fields of Mechanical Engineering and Mathematics. In addition, the club aims to provide a sense of solidarity to the underrepresented female population of the field.
The idea for the club initiation stemmed from the fact that women in Aerospace Engineering represent only the 7% of the professionals in the field. Furthermore, the field is very heavy on mathematics and intrinsically associated with mechanical engineering concepts which may not innately seem appealing to the female students. Lack of education, excitement and information about the particular STEM fields in K-12 as well as a non-existing support group of young professionals in post baccalaureate years are some of the identified and target reasons by Girls Connect owing to the low participation of women in these fields.
Girls Connect aims to earn a reputation as a strong network of driven individuals who consolidate their knowledge and capabilities in order to improve the engineering student's experience for each other as well as advocate for the field to the interested and the aspiring. Girls Connect aims to form a network of members who understand the challenges of aerospace engineering female professionals, as well as those in the mechanical engineering and mathematics, and promote them to successful careers via mentoring and networking. The club holds promise of growth in both size and achievements.
Our members can be from any filed STEM or non-STEM that share the same ideals and goals with Girls Connect. As an example, we have members from computer science, business, public policy and communications who help promote the club.

From Mardi Gras to Easter
I know I haven't posted in a while. I've been pretty busy.
Mardi Gras week was a great one. Glenn and Tammy were in town and we had something to do everyday. We had 2 baby showers for them. I think they got almost everything they will need for the new baby!! It was fun to see all the baby things! Pictures can be seen here.
After Mardi Gras vacation, I went back to work and continued preparing the students for the infamous LEAP test. It was crunch time! We worked so hard everyday and just about had the kids not knowing anything from cramming so much down their throats! They finally took the LEAP test last week. Of course, they thought it was "easy." I, however, have different thoughts on the test this year! I just pray they did ok because if they don't pass the LEAP, they don't pass the fourth grade! It's pretty serious stuff. We won't find out the results until early May.
I also worked on the yearbook for school again this year. It arrived last week. It came out pretty good. I call it my "labor of love." I love taking pictures, but it is a very stressful job, with no compensation, besides the kids enjoying it forever, which is good enough! I never realized how long it takes to create a yearbook, until I started doing them 4 years ago. It's a huge job!
We started Spring Break today. Thank goodness for that! We really needed a break from school. It was getting to be crazy there. On the flip side, we have no more holidays in April or May…talk about 2 LONG months! We get out June 3rd. I can't wait!!! This year has flown, though.
It has been beautiful weather here the past week. Today is another gorgeous day! We are going to get some boiled crawfish and work in the garden and enjoy being outside!! I have been looking forward to that all week. I have only had crawfish one time this year. Nicole and Chris had a little crawfish boil a few weeks ago and invited me over. The crawfish were really good! I don't think we are doing much for Easter Sunday. We might just barbecue and hang out…something low key.
Well, I hope everyone has a very Happy Easter!!

Central Park is the most famous urban park in the world, and this small-group tour will help you discover why. From the sweeping Central Park Mall to the Bow Bridge to Strawberry Fields to the gorgeous Bethesda Terrace, your guide will make sure you get to see all of the highlights of this expansive park. Along the way, you'll learn the fascinating history of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux's urban masterpiece.
Central Park has been called "one of the greatest works of art in America". Come see why!
Your walking tour will start at Manhattan's Grand Army Plaza and continue on through the park. Your guide will show you all the highlights of the park at a leisurely pace. This tour takes place year round, as each season is a different experience. The best thing about this park is that every month brings changes and new discoveries.
Central Park sites you may see include: Grand Army Plaza, The Pond, Gapstow Bridge, the Central Park Zoo, Delacorte Clock, The Dairy, Literary Walk, The Mall, the Bandshell, the landmarked Bethesda Terrace, the lake and Boathouse, the Ramble, Bow Bridge, Cherry Hill, and Strawberry Fields... in addition to beautiful historic and modern buildings around the park!
As you walk, the tour guide will point out the highlights of the park (from the well-known to the smaller secrets), take your questions, and show you the best photo spots. You will never see New York the same way again!
The tour will end in the beautiful Upper West Side neighborhood.
Past customers have said: "I thought a park is a park. I was so wrong! This was a great tour and one of the highlights of our trip." "I didn't have a clue about the history of Central Park, and came away with so much knowledge, it was fascinating. We would have been walking around aimlessly else with no information, getting completely lost!" "Jeremy our tour guide was very knowledgeable about Central Park. The pace was just right and I had time to take some photographs. Would highly recommend this tour."

MORE than 89 schools near the disputed Thai-Cambodian border in Banteay Meanchey province are planning to gradually reopen after closing their doors during the clashes between troops of the two countries last Wednesday.
Phleng Saroth, chief of Banteay Meanchey's Education Department, told the Post Sunday that schools in Malai, O Chrov, Thma Puok and Svay Chek districts closed their doors because most villagers fled the area to escape last week's unrest.
"I have gone back to look at the situation and saw that 30 to 40 percent of people have come back home," he said, adding that he will hold a meeting with teachers today requesting that they appeal to students' parents to send their children back to school.
Nhek Tuy, headmaster of Poipet High School, confirmed his school will reopen Monday regardless of the number of students in attendance.
Or Borin, deputy chief of Military Police in Banteay Meanchey province, said that many villagers have chosen to return home because they believe there will be no more outbursts of violence.
Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport official Koeu Nay Leang said the ministry was currently waiting for a report from the Department of Education before it encourages students to return to schools in the area.

Himeiji Castle
by Ryan Garneau
Himeiji Castle was so awesome. It was a lot of hard work but it paid off. We had to climb up a lot of stairs all the way to the 6th floor. The view was amazing! You could see all over Himeiji. There was a secret spot where warriors could hide and jump out to surprise anyone trying to arrack the Castle. I liked how there was a spot where you could drop rocks on the heads of other warriors.
Renee at Himeiji-jo, also known as "white egret castle," since the complex is supposed to resemble a bird in flight.
Natalie at Himeiji Castle, which miraculously survived the World War II bombings that destroyed much of the city.
Natalie, Renee, and Ryan enjoy the view of the city of Himeiji.

What is Life Healing?
Life Healing conversations aim to identify and understand the predominant issues in your life which are creating congestion, holding you back or contributing to physical discomfort. Then, through a variety of methodologies, assistance is given to enable these to be transmuted or released or to be seen in an empowering way. The methodologies used comprise:
- Awakening One to One conversations
- Angel Card Therapy
- Reiki
How can it help?
Life healing helps you to see your life experiences differently, to rapidly transmute and release those which are holding you back so that you can find inner fulfilment, inspiration, peace, flow and miracles once again available to you – as they are to each of us as a birth right.
Angel Card Therapy is a wonderful tool for assisting us with the 'questions of the heart' – those issues which are most pressing for us to seek guidance on. Angels are present all around us at all times and as you will see from the cards, they are always ready and willing to lovingly guide us with understanding, practical help and direction. We only have to ask.
Life healing may help resolve limiting beliefs, feelings and fears in any area of your life. For example:
* health * emotions * career * wealth * family * relationships * trauma
Physical ailments may also be the starting point of a session.
The processes and benefits of Life Healing are not specific to any age, sex, race, colour, creed or religion. Anyone who accepts the concept of universal loving energy flowing through all that is (as proven by science at molecular level and as demonstrated by Nature) and who is open to the idea of receiving healing may benefit.
What happens?
Initially the client talks with the practitioner about key issues that they would like to resolve in their life. There is a discovery conversation led by gentle questioning. Further discussion may lead to the client identifying experiences and associated thoughts, feelings and emotions which have shaped their current beliefs. Once these have been shared, the practitioner can work on helping you to gain new perspectives on life and your place within it. As Wayne Dyer said: 'Change the way you see things, and the things you see change'.
During Life Healing we sit in an informal, comfortable arm chair environment. If any kind of hands on energy healing is required, this will either take place in situ, or by easy transfer to a reclining or upright chair.
The session lasts up to 1 hour. Sessions can be in person or on Skype – either is equally effective. It is likely that a course of sessions will be most beneficial in order to provide ongoing support and assistance at a time of change in the client's life journey.

Tottenham grabbed a last-gasp equaliser against Liverpool at Anfield to leave Merseyside with a share of the spoils after an enthralling 2-2 draw.
Jurgen Klopp's men took the lead after just two minutes when Mohamed Salah raced onto a back pass from Eric Dier but Victor Wanyama drew the visitors level with a thunderbolt ten minutes from time.
Spurs then had a great chance to take the lead when Harry Kane was fouled in the box but he saw his penalty saved by Loris Karius.
Salah looked to have grabbed the winner for his side with an incredible solo goal but Virgil Van Dijk's injury time gave Kane a second opportunity to score from the spot, which he took.
Liverpool's official Twitter account was clearly struggling to keep up with the drama in the final minutes and the club's last six tweets summed up the madness of the final ten minutes at Anfield.
Liverpool were left to rue the linesman's decision to give the penalty for Van Dijk's foul on Erik Lamela after the referee had failed to give it.
The draw means Tottenham are one point off Chelsea in fourth and the Blues have a game in hand against Watford tomorrow.
Liverpool climb into third, one point ahead of Antonio Conte's men.

There was a time not too long ago when Whistler was on the road to supporting a natural gas pipeline from Squamish that would see the community burn more and more fossil fuel over time.
That has all changed.
With a ground swell of support from community members, and an energy company that was willing to listen, there's a new energy plan in the works. And it is revolutionary.
"We have listened to the community and we recognized the community's vision," said John Reid, president and CEO of Terasen Inc., after signing a groundbreaking Memorandum of Understanding with Whistler's Mayor Hugh OReilly. "We are very, very excited about this opportunity."
Whistler is now on the path to a sustainable energy future, where the resort will, over time, become less and less reliant on fossil fuels for energy. Instead, Whistler will use clean, renewable and sustainable energy sources.
One day the resort municipality could even be creating and governing a new energy utility company to oversee this sustainable energy system.
"It's one of the most exciting things we've ever done," said an upbeat Mayor O'Reilly.
The Sustainable Energy Plan will unfold in a number of different areas.
In a presentation o council on Monday night, Dietz Kellman, director of corporate development for Terasen explained the objectives of the plan: reliable, renewable, affordable and community-based.
"We need to develop a solution that transitions where we are today to a sustainable future," said Kellman.
And so, there will still be a pipeline from Squamish. But whereas once it was $43 million and only justified if more and more Whistler customers switched to natural gas, now it's smaller, cheaper and "hydrogen-ready."
"The economics of making the pipeline hydrogen ready are very attractive," said Dietz Kellmann, director of corporate development for Terasen, speaking at Monday's council meeting.
Though the technology isn't available yet, this will create a "flexible platform" for Whistler to move away from burning natural gas, which even though it's cleaner than propane is still a fossil fuel, to hydrogen technology.
The pipeline is smaller because it is based on the principle of diminishing natural gas usage. That's one of the reasons it is now slated to cost $31.8 million, with more savings to be found by cost sharing with telecom companies.
With the new pipeline, Terasen customers using propane will switch to natural gas. This will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 15 per cent immediately.
But the pipeline is just one part of the Sustainable Energy Plan.
The village will ultimately move to a district energy system, where the energy supply will come from ground source heat pumps and be transported through pipes to heat village infrastructure.

Week 1 of The Way: a new series on the Book of Acts
Sunday Passage:
Acts 1:1-11 (You can listen to Tim's Sunday Sermon HERE)
Go Deeper Passage:
Acts 1:12-26
Today, we remember Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday 50 years after his assassination. The night before he was killed, he gave his "I have been to the mountain top" speech. He proclaimed a vision he had seen. A future worth pursuing though he may not get to enjoy it, like Moses looking upon the promised land. Many of us revere the power Dr. King exhibited in taking courage against the ills of racism, white supremacy, and injustice. Yet, many of us don't live as if we have the same power at work within our bones. We don't act as if the same Spirit of Jesus who opened the eyes of our great American hero is the one at work within us. I believe the Spirit desires to help us see the promised land of awakening before us. To be awake to a life of gospel urgency. To live with eyes open to God, each other, and our neighbors. A life of experiencing God's kingdom come today and everyday. Yet, sometimes we are content to keep our eyes closed.
On Sunday, Tim preached that the awakening we also admire in the book of Acts is available to us right here and right now. That the source of world changing new life is within us. He shared about how Luke (the author of Acts) wrote about what Jesus "began" to do. That the gospel of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection was only the beginning. That God would do "even greater things" in our lives. The early church was only a glimpse of what God has and is doing to transform our hearts and world. Together, we marveled at the incredible work of God in our friend John Johnson's story. We said "amen" to the beauty of Christ speaking over his life and his baptism commitment to wholeheartedly follow Jesus for all the days of his life. Yet inspiration should only be the start for us. It's time to experience those "even greater things" together in Christ.
Our friend and local Seattle leader Jeff Vancil notes that the forces against our own personal awakenings are fear, guilt, and shame. They rob our courage. Dr. King experienced these very temptations too. As a 26 year old, he was asked to be the new leader of the civil rights moment with 15 minutes notice. That is not a typo. He had to decide to either accept or decline this invitation and act immediately. He went and sat in a bathroom stall, begged God for a different plan, and in the power of the Spirit got up and led the legacy we join in with today as fellow justice workers in Christ. The time for awakening is now! Will you step in to where God is calling you today? Will you let his power move in and through your life?
Are you ready? Are you awake? Have you fallen asleep? What keeps you from getting up in the power of the Spirit? How can you find your security in Christ and move in love for Him? What fears must you face?
What work has Christ begun in your life? What has gone unfinished? Why? How can you let God not only be the "pioneer" but also the "perfecter" of your faith (Hebrews 12:1-2)?
Where is God calling you to experience and participate in his kingdom awakening? In Seattle? At A Seattle Church? Your workplace? In your family? Your friendships? Your relationship with God? In you marriage or dating relationship?
Next Steps:
Jesus: Ask Christ to awaken you to the power of His Spirit at work within you
People: Be faithful to love and serve each other by pursuing deep Jesus-centered friendships at A Seattle Church or your church
City: Say yes to God by serving the neighbors He is putting on your heart.

The Journey is honored to host Bryan Moyer Suderman. Bryan is an itinerant singer/songwriter and Bible teacher who has spent the past 25 years finding creative ways to engage all ages in the scriptural drama of God's love for the world.
Bryan is known for his engaging and interactive style of speaking, teaching, and song-leading. He has been described as an Anabaptist Pete Seeger, with a gift for writing songs that are deeply scriptural, musically memorable, and readily singable – songs that are at once simple, catchy, profound, and fun.


text: Life on earth is a gift. It can be such a good gift at times that we lose focus on our true treasure. We can get caught up in relationships, the things of the world, and our own agenda. These things, while good blessings, are not to be our true focus. Jesus is our treasure.

I've labored for several minutes over what should be the first sentence of this first post on this new blog. I've been saved by the weather. It really is a dark and stormy night…
I'm a wandering public interest lawyer. I've worked in or near the civil legal aid arena since getting out of law school (Temple Law School, a/k/a "The Harvard of North Broad Street") in 2003. Here's more about me and what I hope to do with the blog.
The past few months have been a drag. I ran into health troubles, and after some fits and starts in getting well I ultimately had to step away from my career. It took a couple of aimless months to figure out a good next step. But I got it sorted out in April. So, after stints in Philly (I grew up there, but also practiced law until 2005), DC (2005-13), and Chicago (2013-last week), the next step is, naturally, Driggs, Idaho. Driggs!
Driggs is nestled right up on the Rocky Mountains, just over the mountain pass from Jackson, Wyoming. It's a starkly pretty place, and it's got just what I need right now: a bunch of breathtaking natural beauty and a whole lot of space. It'll be a good place to think about next steps, professionally and personally.
What this blog will be: I miss the legal aid community already. I've worked with those rascals for almost 15 years. So I'll use this blog to stay current – and to keep others current, too – on news and developments. I'll also broaden the scope to include related public policy goings-on. And I'll blog about this new life in the mountains: hikes, runs, pictures, people, adventures. And music. And Philadelphia Phillies baseball.
This seems right for new starts:

A new longitudinal study from researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center finds that while clinicians' and patients' reporting of treatment side effects are very different from each other, together they provide a more complete, clinically meaningful picture of the treatment experience.
The research was published online November 17 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Ethan Basch, MD, a medical oncologist and member of the Health Outcomes Group at Memorial Sloan-Kettering, and colleagues, led an analysis of data gathered from more than 160 advanced lung cancer patients and their clinicians. All of the patients were treated at Memorial Sloan-Kettering.
The patients, both men and women with a median age of 63, were followed from 2005 to 2006 through an average of 12 office visits. All received chemotherapy during this time. Researchers tracked six common symptoms–fatigue, pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation–and compared the side effects reported by the clinicians to those reported by the patients. The clinicians reported symptoms using the standard adverse event reporting tool for oncology trials, the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE.) Patients reported symptoms using a simplified version of the same reporting tool via a computer-based system.
Patients generally reported adverse symptoms earlier, more frequently, and with greater severity than their clinicians, and their responses appeared to better reflect real-time suffering. Patient-reported symptoms were more closely related to day-to-day health status, while clinicians' reports were more predictive of significant medical events. "The perspectives of both clinicians and patients provide a more complete picture of the negative impact of treatments compared with either perspective alone," said Dr. Basch. "Clinicians bring professional training and experience to their evaluations, whereas patients are in a better position to communicate their own subjective experiences," he adds.
The findings demonstrate the value of an approach that incorporates patient self-reporting of symptoms in cancer treatment trials. Such information has the potential to help both prospective prescribers and patients in understanding the anticipated side effects of treatment.
On the basis of this research Dr. Basch said, "We need to design models in which we can capitalize on what the patient is reporting in order to understand how toxic these drugs are. Our patients add tremendous value in their reporting; and by collecting this information we can actually enhance our understanding of toxicities in a way that will aid the FDA, aid clinicians, aid researchers, and aid patients themselves when they are trying to decide whether they want to start a treatment." He added that, "patient-reported adverse symptoms should be collected in clinical trials and reported in drug labels."
Funding for this research was provided by the National Cancer Institute, the American Society of Clinical Oncology, and the Steps-for-Breath philanthropic fund of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.

What is marketing analytics?
Marketing analytics involves various processes and technologies that are used to evaluate the success and value of the marketing efforts as well as the act of identifying opportunities for improvement. Marketing analytics tools contain various metrics to measure the performance of marketing initiatives. In short, it helps evaluate which initiatives are actually bearing fruit and which are not. It gathers data from across all marketing channels and consolidates it into a common marketing view. From this analytical results can be extracted, which provide invaluable assistance in driving the marketing efforts forward.
Why is marketing analytics important?
Diverse technologies are often implemented across several platforms for companies to advertise, market, and create brand awareness. The data generated from them was siloed. It is illogical for marketers to rely on intuition alone to get their initiatives and campaigns right, especially given the role of marketing in retaining customers and driving revenue. The top management would want to see the value of the marketing initiatives, and analytics is the best way to show them. Also, it is important to have a way to measure and monitor your campaigns and then demonstrate their value clearly to executives and stakeholders. Furthermore, marketing analytics tools help establish your value and how your work relates to revenue.
Things to know when applying marketing analytics
Devise a smart marketing strategy
One of the primary steps for any organization to undertake before delving into marketing analytics tools is to devise an effective marketing strategy. There are many tools available in the digital marketplace that allows companies to construct tailor-made campaigns which revolve around their product and help brands speak highly about themselves. These tools are primarily based on the search engine audience sentiment about popular keywords, popular hashtags, and trends among many others. Marketing analytics tools will allow marketers to evaluate various aspects that encapsulate the digital marketing spectrum like incoming leads, conversions, and website traffic. If marketers incorporate this workflow, key insights can be easily derived at the end of the campaign. These valuable insights can be applied to the next campaign or can be used adaptively if the campaign is long-term or recurring.
Data collection and segregation
Large amount of data gets generated during the campaigning. This data can later be converted into meaningful insights. Marketers must ensure that they have covered and collated data elements getting generated from all the sources which were involved in a marketing campaign. Data from social media, emails, POS machines, call centers, beacons, and Wi-Fi needs to be collated and safeguarded. These data would often prove to be unstructured. This data can later be structured to get a clear understanding of how customers are shopping today.
Choosing the right analytics visualization
The data generated must prove useful for the marketing teams and stakeholders if you are to gain meaningful insights from it. The key to getting this right is to choose the most appropriate data visualizations, which can help identify patterns and interpret the data. Thus, it is important to choose marketing analytics tools that allow you to choose or customize your visualizations instead of using default charts for displaying data.
Marketing analytics tools featuring machine learning and AI
In order to be effective, marketing must be real-time and predictive today. You must be able to analyze the data, make accurate predictions, and take data-driven decisions to enhance each step of the customer journey. Using marketing analytics tools with machine learning and AI capabilities make these tasks easier to do and with minimal errors.
Personalizing campaigns
Global enterprises pay extensive attention to providing superior client experiences. Due to the advent of several modern enterprises that have absorbed phenomenal technical capability and a fresh approach to client servicing in entirety, client experience has become a highly important factor today. Marketing analytics tools can help companies know about product expectations from a segregated customer list. This enables an organization to just sell an already desired product via targeted marketing rather than hard-selling a product offering.

The confounding challenge of communicating internally
Humans sure do love to put things in boxes.
People. Pigeons. Business functions. The practice of boxing and categorising plays an essential role in determining which things we see as similar, and which we see as unique.
There are, for this reason, two things that should never be put into the same box:
Internal communication and marketing. †
Unfortunately, though, they often are. Heck, at a recent industry awards night, we heard internal comms professionals speaking about the industry as if it were a plain-featured sister of marketing. ‡
It isn't.
Oh my gosh, it isn't. Sure, both use collateral to communicate a message, but their business objectives and audiences couldn't be more different. And more importantly, both contribute significantly to business performance and the bottom line.
It's a concerning comparison because it suggests a fundamental problem with the internal comms function and how they see their contribution to an organisation. These assumptions can also have a significant impact on leaders trying to make a difference to their people, organisation and industry.
Here are three common issues we've seen in medium-sized enterprise all the way to the Fortune 50, and suggestions for how leaders facing these challenges can overcome them.
The organisation structure hinders effective internal communication
A systemic problem in many organisations is combining internal communications with other functions — usually Marketing or HR — along with a shortage or lack of communication specialists.
HR-led internal communications have the advantage of being people focused, and great people, leadership and culture professionals understand the role of communication in building culture and creating great employee experiences. However, they tend to lack the specific communication knowledge and technical skills needed to execute effectively.
Conversely, marketing-led internal communications often have more communication experience, yet tend to apply external communication tactics. Leaders in these organisations frequently find themselves confounded by rigid style guide constraints, one-size-fits-all solutions, and communication that completely misses the mark with the intended audience.
Neither organisation structure is conducive to great internal communication, yet restructuring is rarely a viable option. Instead, there needs to be a more collaborative approach, with plenty of trust and a clear understanding of where expertise is lacking.
In an HR-led company, it might mean hiring a communication expert or engaging an external communication specialist to help execute on campaigns and co-create a communication strategy. In a marketing-led company, leaders will likely need to fight to ensure their unique knowledge of the audience is incorporated into communication.
THERE'S A complete failure to understand the audience
Good leaders have a deep understanding of their people, which makes them the ideal person to lead communication. Unfortunately, many internal communication folk fail to realise this.
Internal communications need to stop defaulting to lazy, generic corporate language and messaging, and strive to understand the people inside their organisation.
Even better, they can work with other leaders to build an in-depth understanding of each unique segment inside their organisation, then tailor each message and campaign accordingly. Yes, this means getting out of the office and actually talking to people — the horror.
They waste time and money justifying their existence and LOOKING FOR RELEVANCE IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES, rather than offering real value to leaders.
We've said it before, we'll say it again: sweating the precise colour value and font weight specified in the external brand guidelines makes stuff-all difference to the effectiveness of an internal campaign.
Nope — crafting the right message, finding the right narratives, using the right language, appealing to emotions, understanding the psychology of communication and using creativity to bring it all to life, does.
Internal communications needs to stop acting as censors and custodians of The Brand, and start helping leaders make a real difference to their people. They should be the biggest champions of new ideas and bold visions. They need to go beyond simply justifying their existence and realise that making leaders look good to their peers, people and stakeholders doesn't devalue their own contribution in any way.
They treat the internal communication function as an afterthought
Unfortunately, a common process in many organisations is for leaders to finish a program, policy, or other piece of communication, then 'run it by comms and marketing'.
Few good things come of this approach.
The problem is that it forces internal communications to take the role of editor. If an editor were required, an editor would've been hired. An editor is not required — a communication expert is required. One that can help translate a message or idea into a compelling experience that makes a difference.
The process needs to be collaborative, with leaders sharing their vision and intentions early and internal communications working with them to achieve it by bringing their unique skills and expertise, rather than attacking it with a red pen and a condescending attitude.
Of course, you might be lucky enough to have a wonderful comms team and an org structure that supports communication. But if not, the best place to start is a frank conversation with the relevant people.
And if that fails?
Well, get in touch. We'd love to help.
† Also: Samuel L. Jackson and snakes; loneliness and cheeseburgers; sharks and tornados; etc.
‡ Marketing in turn tends to be seen as the unsexy cousin of advertising. Enough with the hierarchical bullying already, there's honour in every profession.

Dragon Simulator 2015
Game Design, Programming, Music, Sound Design
"Dragon Simulator 2015" was my project for the Arduino Games course at Shenkar College. As the name implies, it simulates the life of your typical dragon - the player may fly around the endless (looping) 3D game world and breath fire at the occasional village.
I have been interested in the notion of custom, game-specific controllers since glimpsing such Japanese arcade machines on TV, and am generally fond of games such as Taiko Drum Master and the Initial-D racing game. Mechanically these games could be played with other, more conventional controllers, which is true for most games nowadays due to how sophisticated standard controllers have become, but the custom controllers do much for the suspension of disbelief and make the experience far more intense. Naturally I wanted to spend my time in the Arduino course building some kind of custom controller tailored around a game that it would benefit in a similar fashion.
The game uses a custom control setup consisting of two motion sensors and a microphone hooked up through an Arduino board, and an Oculus Rift DK2 VR headset. The motion sensors track the player's arms to direct the dragon's flight, as if they were wings, the headset detects the head motion (and therefore, the aim) and the microphone (which hangs from the headset) detects the player's blowing, to allow for an immersive flying and fire-breathing interface.
This game also has a dynamic music system. I composed an original background piece for this game which is split into six synchronized tracks. The tracks are placed at different heights in 3D space and in different directions relative to the player character, but otherwise travel with them. As the player changes height and direction of flight, the tracks seamlessly fade in and out while maintaining their "compass" direction. This serves two purposes. The difference in musical texture and harmony in different heights parallels the different kind of gameplay the player may experience there, with intense brass and harpsichord riffs when the player is near ground level and probably causing havoc, and chill violin solos and electronic backing when the player is up in the clouds. The constant compass direction of each track relative to the player is also meant to ease player orientation in the looping 3D space.

Born and raised in the small suburban town of Pasadena, Maryland, Krystal grew up with a mother who had an addictive camera personality. Documenting her daughter's daily life rubbed off as Krystal began developing her own interest in photography which would become her full time profession later in life. At the age of 26 Krystal left Washington D.C. and is now firmly established as a portrait and events photographer.
You've become a «go to» person within the community for wedding and event photography. You must be delighted.
It is such an honor and delight to be sought after for my passion. I would put this down to my amazing network here. From the time I hit the cobblestone streets of Paris, I was sure to introduce myself as a photographer everywhere I went. I even often donated my services to events and groups here in the beginning, so that people could get a sense of my work and gain confidence in what I was creating.
How would you describe your style and approach?
My style is a combination of posed photojournalism. I give my subjects something to do so that they become natural in front of the camera. Usually when you put anyone on the other side of the camera they become like a deer in headlights. The key is to give them things to do with their body so that they forget the camera is there; simple things like having a coffee in a cafe, walking down a beautiful street, or whispering something sweet in their lover's ear.
Has your approach developed over time? If so how?
I've been shooting for over 10 years now and have become more confident in my work and spending time with strangers. My approach has become warmer over the years and more playful. I remember now to take a step back and let people be themselves and forget about me for a moment, instead of constantly telling them how to pose.
You've moved away from Krystal Kenney photography to Miss Paris Photo. Can you tell us why?
My name is hard to spell! I wanted a name that got straight to the point of what I was trying to do, which is being a photographer in Paris. I also wanted to dictate what separates me from other photographers here, which is taking a feminine approach to photography hence «Miss».
You capture events, baptisms, weddings, engagements. Which is your favourite, and why?
It's hard to choose one domain, but I do love working with couples. Many times it's their first time abroad and seeing the love between them and the love of my city is so inspiring. You can often become jaded living here. It's nice that on a daily basis, I can have new energy put into my life and work through other people's experiences here.
Do you ever have to turn down work?
I do turn work down, because as much as I love my job, I've learned to take a break and travel often. Also, sometimes I am already booked for a day or a particular time slot. I pass this work to other photographers. We are happy to help each other and I see many of my «competition» on a daily basis for a chat over a coffee. It's like an office, except our desk is at the Trocadero platform.
What's the biggest challenge with wedding photography?
Wedding photography can be stressful. Many photographers will not even touch it. The biggest challenge is the fact that generally it's the most money any one person will spend on one day of their lives! This puts pressure on the photographer to document everything perfectly and not miss a thing. Also it's about spending 8 to 12 hours non-stop on your feet. You are not just thinking about working a camera, you're thinking about the feeling of the day, chatting with relatives and your bride and groom, light, timing, delays. There are a lot of moving parts to a wedding.
And then there's the editing process… Imagine having to sort through 10 hours of photos! Literally you will go through a 1000 photos to pick the best ones. You feel as though you may go blind staring at your computer, and you often find yourself retreating into the kitchen to take a snack or coffee break when you're not even hungry, but just need to get away from your computer. So not only do you go blind but you also gain 10 pounds from editing weddings!
What advice would you give to couples looking for a wedding photographer?
I always recommend having a chat or a meeting with your photographer before. You can really feel the connection this way, much more than just looking at their website.
Is there really a proposal occuring during an engagement shoot?
I photograph many surprise proposals on a weekly basis and 99% of them are a total surprise. The proposer and I Skype before, to work out all the details, and it really is sweet to see a genuine expression of surprise on the person's face.
Whats the most memorable moment in your career?
Wow, that's tough… My job has taken me to so many amazing places: helicopter rides over Versailles, meetings with directors, songwriters, authors, behind the scenes of famous places… But the happiest moment of my career so far was meeting and photographing Jimmy Buffet. It sounds silly but my father was a big fan of his music. As a child, I grew up listening to him and it really connects me with my childhood and family. It was so nice to share that moment with my father afterwards and then be personally invited to his concert in Paris.
The world has become aware of your name following a photo shoot that went viral, can you tell us about the day of the shoot?
This was such a special shoot! I work with a wonderful 'officiant' here, Michelle Wahila of Ruffled by Grace, and she was first contacted by the two grooms for their special wedding ceremony in Paris. They are from Orlando Florida so everything was planned over the phone and via email. They wanted an extravagant, beautiful wedding day in their dream city and we even got the approval of the Petit Palais to hold the ceremony on the museum steps. The day was completed with a butterfly release in front of the Eiffel Tower and lunch at the famous Le Train Bleu restaurant. But the biggest surprise of the day was when James arrived at the ceremony with a full cape draped across his back covered in flowers! We couldn't go 10 steps without a dozen tourists wanting photos with him. It truly was a sight to be seen and even more surprising, was how viral it went online!
