Trump on China
Great material for a unit on prosody, from Ben Craw:
Great material for a unit on prosody, from Ben Craw:
In Alexander J. Ellis's 1873 article "On the Physical Constituents of Accent and Emphasis", he asserted that there are "four principal matters to be considered in a sound-curve, which will be here called length, pitch, force, and form". Yesterday I quoted his oddly labored explanation of length, by which he means what we would now generally call "duration". We can skip his equally-labored explanation of pitch — it's correct, as we'd expect from the man who introduced and named the cent as a unit of measure for pitch intervals, but otherwise its main point of interest is his adherence to the rarely-used "philosophical pitch" standard, which has middle C at 256 Hz, and therefore C in all other octaves at frequencies of powers of two. What Ellis has to say about force, however, is an interesting mixture of science and error.
From the Transactions of the Philological Society, 1873-74, "VIII. — On the Physical Constituents of Accent and Emphasis: By Alexander J. Ellis, Esq., President":
Phonautographic Sound-curves. Any disturbance in the air produces a series of alternate condensations and rarefactions, which, coming in contact with the drum of the ear, cause it to vibrate, in such a manner as to produce, after various internal modifications, the well-known sensation of sound. The most convenient way of analyzing this sensation is to analyze the motion of a single point in the drum of the ear. This is effected by an instrument called the phonautograph, consisting of a metal paraboloidal reflector (answering to the passage leading to the drum of the ear), truncated by a plane passing through its focus and perpendicular to its axis, over which opening is stretched a delicate membrane, ordinarily bladder (answering to the drum of the ear). At one point of this membrane is fixed a style (ordinarily a piece of quill), which rests against a cylinder, over which is rolled a piece of paper delicately coated with lampblack. A disturbance of the air inside the reflector causes the style to move backwards and forwards on the lampblacked surface, which it scrapes off. If the cylinder remain at rest, this produces a white straight line of moderate length. But if, as is usual, the cylinder be caused to revolve with a uniform motion, the style scratches out a white undulating line, which may be called a sound-curve, and which is the visible symbol of the invisible disturbance of the air.
A week or so ago, I wrote a post about the notion of "mother" in Indian phonology (with a link to an earlier post written over a year ago about the concept of "mother" in linguistics more generally):
"More on mother' (focus on India) " (8/5/15)
Ben Buckner has called additional information to my attention. Because the new material is fairly substantial, I did not want it to get buried as a comment to the previous post, which is no longer active. Consequently, I am presenting this additional material from Ben as a separate post of its own.
Permalink Comments off
A little over a year ago, I wrote about "The concept of 'mother' in linguistics " (6/25/14). In that post, we looked at the use of the notion of "mother" for language studies in Ugaritic, Moabite, South Arabian, Phoenician, Aramaic, Syriac, Arabic, Greek, Latin, and Chinese.
Although I had a nagging recollection to the contrary, I stated: "So far as I am aware, the notion of 'mother' does not have a similar function in Sanskrit phonology." Although I wrote that, it bothered me ever since, inasmuch as I did remember from my Sanskrit studies of nearly half a century ago that "mother" did figure in Indian theories of language, but I just couldn't remember exactly what it was.
A couple of weeks ago, we encountered the case of Chang Chun-ning being asked by her fěnsī 粉絲 ("fans") on the Mainland to change one of the characters in her name that they weren't familiar with:
"7,530,000 mainlanders petition Taiwan actress to change her name" (5/14/15)
After the incident about the bank in China telling Chang Chun-ning to change her name that was quoted and translated by K. Chang here ("Even the bank wanted me to change my name. I've had enough!!!!!!"), there is another clause that finishes her Weibo (microblog) post, as quoted in the China Times article:
Or maybe in Chilean Spanish; more specifically in the Audible audiobook version of Isabel Allende's La Casa de los Espiritus:
Back in March, Lauren Spradlin gave a wonderful talk at PLC 39, under the title "OMG the Word-Final Alveopalatals are Cray-Cray Prev: A Morphophonological Account of Totes Constructions in English". It's been on my to-blog list ever since.
Totes, of course, is a clipped form of totally, which can be found is exchanges like this one:
A: Yo, I'm totes starving. I could totes eat a horse right now.
B: Yeah, totes feel you man. I'm totes hungry too.
A: I totes know this totes pimp place we could eat.
B: We should totes hit it up then.
A: Totes.
B: Totes.
This (I think simulated) example of "totestalatarianism" comes from a Totes Truncation site that Lauren set up to hold the appendices for a paper of the same name as her PLC talk.
But the point of her analysis is not the totes usage itself, as striking as it sometimes is, but rather the pattern of abbreviation that often spreads to other words in the totes phrase: "totes emosh", "totes adorb", "totes atrosh", "totes apprope", "totes unfortch". Mix in a final /s/ and maybe some expressive palatalization, and you've got "totes arbz" (< arbitrary), "totes inevs" (< inevitable), "totes awesh" (< awesome), "totes impresh" (< impressive).

Ben Yagoda wrote to ask about the reduced or unreduced pronunciation of man ([mən] vs. [mæn]) in noun compounds: policeman, fireman, garbage man, mailman, gunman, lineman, etc.
I don't know of any scholarly treatments of this precise subject. For an extensive discussion of the textual history and distribution of man- compounds, you can read Kirsti Peitsara "MAN-Compounds in English", Selected Proceedings of the 2005 Symposium on New Approaches in English Historical Lexis. And for some background discussion on the relations among structure, sense, and stress in such phrases, see Mark Liberman & Richard Sproat, "The Stress and Structure of Modified Noun Phrases in English", in Sag & Szabolsci eds., Lexical Matters, 1992. But I don't know of any discussion of (for example) why the -man in policeman is reduced, while the -man in mailman isn't. (Those are my judgments, anyhow, and Merriam-Webster's agrees with me…)
So I'm throwing the floor open for contributions from readers.
David Donnell's friend from Urbana drew his attention to the trailer for Furious 7, where Dwayne Johnson pronounces cavalry as ['kæl.və.ɹi]:

On Facebook, Bert Vaux posted about a fascinating bit of Danish loanword phonology.
While watching the Danish show Borgen last night I noticed that Kasper, when talking about ordering a smoothie, first said [smu:di] and then later said [smu:ði]. The first form in particular but also the variation pleased me, so I asked Anna Jespersen about it and look at this bonanza she came up with! (What follows is a paraphrase of what she sent me.)
Smoothie is a newly borrowed word, and I think it's the only one we have encountered with a non-initial [ð]. Consequently, there's a lot of variation. [ð] and [d] would be the most common variants but there are lots of other options. Check out these two ads from McDonald's:
i. In the attached print ad, the line below the smoothies reads "Try our new, refreshing smoothies (no matter how you pronounce them)".
Manohla Dargis, "In 'Cinderella,' Disney Polishes Its Glass Slippers", NYT:
You know the rest, bibbidi-bobbidi-boo and all that jazz.
My reaction when I read that was, Gee, interesting re-spelling of Bibbity Bobbity Boo, in line with the standard American flapping and voicing of non-syllable-initial /t/. But it turns out that I'm about 66 years too late.

Planned copper mine near Tucson faces delay
TUCSON, Ariz. — A planned copper mine in the Santa Rita Mountains near Tucson is facing another delay after the federal government announced it would restart reviews examining the project's effects on endangered species.
The Arizona Daily Star reports that the reviews guarantee another delay for the Rosemont Mine after seven years of permitting efforts.
Rosemont Copper's parent company, Augusta Resource Corp., had hoped for a final decision from the U.S. Forest Service by June 30. But the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has said the new reviews are needed in part because of new information about the species' presence or threats to their habitat.
The reviews will focus on the endangered ocelot and five imperiled fish, frog, plant and bird species that depend on Cienega Creek and other streams. Also up for review are the Western yellow-billed cuckoo and the northern Mexican garter snake, which could be listed soon as endangered or threatened.
The proposed mine would put an open pit in the Santa Rita Mountains. The mine and its associated tailings and waste rock areas would be located on more than 4,400 acres of federal, state and private land.
If the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service concludes the mine would jeopardize a species' existence or illegally damage critical habitat, that could stop the mine. More commonly, the federal government requires mitigation plans from the company.
Federal officials can't say how long the additional reviews will take. Under federal law, the Fish and Wildlife Service's review by itself isn't supposed to take more than 135 days.
In a written statement, Augusta noted that the wildlife service has already gone through one review and concluded that the mine won't jeopardize endangered species or critical habitat.
"Although this delay is unfortunate, we recognize the need to have a robust and comprehensive decision document that includes all the required analysis," said Gil Clausen, Augusta's president and CEO. "Further, the (Forest Service) has committed to dedicating the appropriate resources to this analysis and to ensure that the work is done expeditiously."
But the decision to start new reviews proves once again that the mine is a "terrible, ill-conceived idea," countered Sergio Avila, a biologist for the conservationist Sky Island Alliance. "We already know that this project could impact the surface and subsurface water, protected species and non-protected species. The company must address laws and regulations protecting public lands and habitats."

Everything was amazing.
Continental breakfast.
Location was great. Close to many scenic routes in the area and walk across the road to Stratton Mtn village.

Reasonably priced, nice people, great food at the cafe next door - exactly what I was looking for in a small motel in the Green Mountains. Thanks to the owners for a quiet, hassle-free stay.
It was a charming home and the bears are the most I've ever seen and most of all the are Steif from from Germany not China. All was great and her little CEO was darling. The breakfast was one of the best ever. I'd love to make it again in the near fut
Beautiful home - loved the old victorian home! Beautiful little Vermont town with great food within walking distance. Hostess was amazing and the breakfast was a 10+++!!
The bathroom and shower were really small.

Common Nonsense: Glenn Beck and the Triumph of Ignoranceby Alexander Zaitchik
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Common Nonsense
What kind of disc jockey would telephone the wife of a competitor and, over live radio, belittle her and her husband about her recent miscarriage? What kind of patriot would con his listeners into donating $450,000 to finance a series of Rally for America events that turned out to be nothing but a personal promotional tour? What kind of talk-radio host would falsely describe the president of the United States as a communist and black nationalist out to enslave Americans? The purveyor of such tactics—and worse—can only be America's newest household conservative name: Glenn Beck.
In Common Nonsense, investigative reporter Alexander Zaitchik traces Beck's personal history, from his troubled childhood through his years as a "morning zoo" DJ to his sudden and meteoric rise to the top of the conservative media heap. He pays special attention to Beck's transformation from alcoholic, cocaine-snorting, failed disc jockey without a political thought in his head to wealthy, bile-spewing, right-wing demagogue whose radio and television shows form the core of a multimillion-dollar media empire.
Drawing on interviews with Beck's childhood friends, radio coworkers, and TV colleagues as well as Beck's own published accounts of his life, Zaitchik reveals the cracks in Beck's personal creation myth. He pinpoints the moment when Beck, then working in Tampa and about to be fired from his first-ever talk-radio job, discovered right-wing rabble-rousing as his route to long-sought fame and fortune. He shows how Beck adapted the timeworn gags and manipulations of radio hucksterism—including the audience donation drive—into powerful tools for propaganda and personal enrichment. He also demonstrates how Beck's screeds about ACORN, czars, and socialists are carefully honed to intensify his listeners' fears and spur them to action at a time and place of his choosing.
Beck's manipulations are not aimed exclusively at conservative Tea Party activists. One of his favorite gambits, Zaitchik reveals, is to make outrageous statements—such as calling President Obama a racist—to provoke angry and overwrought reactions from the Left. He knows that nothing burnishes his reputation as a right-wing hero victimized by political correctness more effectively than a barrage of scoldings from the "liberal elite."
You can laugh at his crocodile tears, shake your head at the "facts" out of which he spins his wild theories, gape in wonder at his abrupt transitions from cheap sentiment to vicious attack and back again—but do not underestimate Glenn Beck. Read Common Nonsense and discover how this smart, ambitious self-promoter and his devoted flock poison our political discourse and weaken our democracy.
Who is this guy and why are people listening?
Forget Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, and Sean Hannity—Glenn Beck is the Right's new media darling and the unofficial leader of the conservative grassroots. Lampooned by the Left and Lionized by the far Right, his bluster-and-tears brand of political commentary has commandeered attention on both sides of the aisle.
Glenn Beck has emerged over the last decade as a unique and bizarre conservative icon for the new century. He encourages his listeners to embrace a cynical paranoia that slides easily into a fantasyland filled with enemies that do not exist and solutions that are incoherent, at best. Since the election of President Barack Obama, Beck's bombastic, conspiratorial, and often viciously personal approach to political combat has made him one of the most controversial figures in the history of American broadcasting.
In Common Nonsense, investigative reporter Alexander Zaitchik explores Beck's strange brew of ratings lust, boundless ego, conspiratorial hard-right politics, and gimmicky morning-radio entertainment chops.
Beck, a perverse and high-impact media spectacle, has emerged as a leader in a conservative protest movement that raises troubling questions about the future of American politics.
Praise for Alexander Zaitchik's reporting on the Glenn Beck phenomenon
"Alexander Zaitchik has been doing yeoman's work of late, digging deep into the oftentimes disturbing past of the new face and voice of the angry right, Fox News's Glenn Beck."—Simon Maloy, Media Matters for America
"A must-read. . . . Heaven help us all." —Michael Tomasky, The Guardian
"Superb." —Glenn Greenwald, Salon
"I highly recommend Alexander Zaitchik's feature [on Beck.] In it, he profiles not just Beck and his band of aggrieved, paranoid disciples, but the man who inspired him, W. Cleon Skousen."—Sarah Posner, The American Prospect
"Fascinating." —Andrew Sullivan, The Atlantic
"Probably the most comprehensive take in terms of backstory that I've seen on the conservative talk star."—Michael Calderone, Politico
"Horrifying. . . . Chillingly informative."—Christopher Knight, Los Angeles Times
"Fascinating." —Joe Conason, The New York Observer
"Edifying." —Todd Gitlin, Talking Points Memo
"Terrific. . . . If you're looking for an antidote to the Beck dreck that Time magazine recently passed off as journalism, this is it."—Kevin Drum, Mother Jones
"Despicable, yellow journalism." —Glenn Beck, Fox News Channel

Today 21st June 2014 there was a protest march for the remaining 55 Maui's Dolphins that there are left in this World.
The Government thinks it's ok for big oil and gas exploration companies to go drilling around in their habitat, off the west coast of the North Island.
This could effectively lead to the extinction of these beautiful dolphins.
The government are happy to let us protest, but will ignore us. Unless we make a big enough noise. SO LET'S START SHOUTING. SIMON BRIDGES, SORT YOURSELF OUT!
Sign the petition thelast55.co.nz AND JUST KEEP SHOUTING AT JOHN KEY AND SIMON BRIDGES AND NICK SMITH On Twitter and Facebook. And in person. If ur lucky enough to see them in person!

The Miami Dolphins are heading into the 2013 season with nearly $50 million dollars of cap space and impending free agent OT Jake Long wants some of that money. According to the Miami Herald, Long is looking at a contract that would pay him around $10 million per season. The former number one pick was once considered the premiere left tackle in the NFL but his career has been plagued with injuries in recent years.
The Dolphins have several members of their team getting ready to hit the free agent market such as RB Reggie Bush, TE Anthony Fasano, WR Brian Hartline and S Chris Clemons along with Long. Miami is likely to allow all of those players to test the free agent market this offseason.
Left tackle is a position that several teams need to fill. It is arguably one of the most important positions of the field for teams that field a right-handed quarterback. If Miami doesn't want to overpay for Long, whose play on the field has regressed in recent years, there will likely be several other teams around the league to overpay and think they can salvage the remainder of his career.
Either way, Long will reap a large contract this offseason, likely with a different team however.

Christopher McQuarrie (Jack Reacher, Mission: Impossible 5) will be going out of this world for an upcoming project. According to Deadline, the writer and director is attached to utilize both skills on Skydance's Star Blazers adaptation.
McQuarrie was first mentioned in connection with the film in 2011, when Skydance acquired the rights. Now, with the recent success of co-productions like World War Z and Star Trek Into Darkness, Skydance is looking to get back to work on Star Blazers.
Originally known as Space Battleship Yamato in Japan, Star Blasters found a group of earthlings traveling through space on a converted World War II battleship to get their hands on a piece of alien tech that will help save their home planet. The original series was rewritten and dubbed for North American audiences where it lasted three seasons between 1979 and 1984. A total of 77 episodes were shown.
Hope it's better then the recent Japanese live action.

Byzantine Empire, John VI Cantacuzenus and John V Palaeologus, 13 May 1347 - April 1353 A.D.
When Andronicus III died, his chief administrator, John Kantakouzenos asserted a claim to regency of the young emperor John V. The emperor's mother, Anna of Savoy, was appointed regent and she had John Kantakouzenos declared an enemy of the state. John Kantakouzenos defeated Anna with Ottoman help, and he was made Emperor John VI. John V was married to his daughter, Helena Kantakouzene, and the boy was allowed to reign as the junior emperor. John VI Kantakouzenos spent much of his own private wealth unsuccessfully trying to strengthen the Empire but was still unpopular because of his ties to the Ottomans. His attempt to curb Genoese power ended with the total destruction of the Byzantine fleet in 1349. John VI ignored his young colleague and in time even replaced him with his own son Matthew. John V Palaeologus obtained Genoese help, overthrew his rivals, and banished John Kantakouzenos to a monastery, where he lived 30 years as the monk Joasaph and wrote his famous history.SH70968.

Romanus III was fanatically devoted to the Virgin. His adoration found expression in the building and restoration of churches dedicated to St. Mary and also explains the Virgin's prominence on his coinage. MΘ is a Greek abbreviation for Mητερα Tου Θεου - Mother of God. ΘCE abbreviates Θεοτοκε - God-bearer, also referring to the Virgin. On one of his types, a silver miliaresion, the inscription reads: Παρθενε σοι πολυαινε ος ηλιτικη παντα κατοπθοι, which means, "He who places his hopes on thee, O Virgin all-glorious, will prosper in all he does."SH73344.

Byzantine Empire, Alexius I Comnenus, 4 April 1081 - 15 August 1118 A.D.
Plovdiv was originally a Thracian city before later becoming a Greek city, and then a major Roman city. In the Middle Ages, it retained its strategic regional importance, changing hands between the Byzantine and Bulgarian Empires. Around 1000 A.D., Philippopolis became the administrative seat of a newly created Byzantine th�ma with the same name. In 1180, Aime de Varennes encountered the singing of Byzantine songs in the city that recounted the deeds of Alexander the Great and Philip of Macedonia, over 1300 years before. In 1364, the Ottoman Turks under Lala Shakhin Pasha seized Plovdiv. The Turks called the city Filibe, derived from "Philip."SH73347.

Byzantine Empire, Andronicus I, September 1183 - 12 September 1185 A.D.
In 1185, Henry II of England knighted his heir John and sent him to Ireland to enforce English control. It was a disaster which united the scorned Irish chieftains against a common enemy. By the end of the year, John returned to England in defeat. Nonetheless, Henry had him named King of Ireland by Pope Urban III and procured a golden crown with peacock feathers.BZ73348.

In "Le tr�sor byzantine de Nikertai" in Revue Belge de Numismatique 118 (1972), Morrisson writes that this officina mark is horizontal, perpendicular to the rest of the legend, and indicates the 7th officina (a reversed Z, not an H). Hahn lists the Nikertai Hoard coin 146, described by Morrisson as 7th officina, as his only example from the H (8th) officina. The 8th officina probably did not strike this variant with an I in the right field.

Byzantine Empire, Maurice Tiberius, 13 August 582 - 22 November 602 A.D.
In 583, Maurice decided to end the annual tribute to the Avars, a mounted people who swept across Russia and threatened the Balkan Peninsula. The result was sixteen years of Avar attacks, raids, sackings, and devastation. In 599, after Maurice refused to pay ransom, the Avars slaughtered 12,000 captured Byzantine soldiers. That summer, the Byzantines defeated the Avars in open battle, pursued the fleeing tribes, and then invaded and devastated the Avar homeland. In 602, after a few more defeats, the Avars agreed to accept Byzantine rule. However, the high cost of the war in blood and treasure had cost Maurice his popularity. He was forced to witness the slaughter of his supporters and his five sons, and then beheaded.

In 652, an Arab fleet under Abdullah ibn Sa'ad defeated the Byzantine fleet of 500 ships off the coast of Alexandria.

How to harness visual leadership
|| Print |
|Thursday, April 11, 2013
Smart people in a hurry become stupid. (Or at least act stupidly. My work with busy executive teams tells me that this phenomenon is universal — and I see it in myself daily).
When we need our busy co-workers and our busy selves to be both smarter and faster, what can we do?
Get visual.
Recent advances in brain science are teaching us to harness the natural strengths of the human brain to overcome its weaknesses.
Our brains are lousy at lots of things:
Our brains are awesome at a few things:
Retaining a Shared Understanding
It's shocking how many professionals hold meetings, yet never write down what happened. (I still do it, and regret it each time.)
The result is often a totally wasted meeting that requires a second meeting to untangle. "Didn't we agree that…?"
One of the most effective changes we consultants often bring to a client is a refreshed practice of writing down, during a meeting, what decisions were made and who got a work assignment — Who will do What by When.
Without faithful documentation, we retain very little of what happened. With documentation, memory is longer, and is capable of being refreshed from a common source — creating a shared reality.
And as David Sibbet's work has shown, the positive impact of faithful documentation is refreshed and amplified if the agreement (or decision or shared understanding) is documented visually, and that visual is then shared — using what he calls "Big Charts" (see graphic "Value of Shared Visuals" nearby).
A further bonus occurs when we keep and share photos of the team working together to create the charts — seeing yourself doing the work refreshes your memory and commitment toward the decision you helped reach.
For leaders ready to harness the awesome power of visuals, I recommend all three of David Sibbet's books, including his latest, Visual Leaders.
Do you see what he said?
Often our big problem isn't remembering the shared agreement — it's reaching that agreement.
I've shortened many a difficult conversation by jumping up and writing everybody else's points on a white board or flip chart.
As soon as Fred sees his point written down, he can stop repeating his point — because he now feels heard.
Many of us have ears that don't work until our mouths have run for a while. Don't fight that — just accept and work with it. The sooner you make Fred feel heard, the sooner he'll be capable of listening with a more open mind to his co-workers.
As Sibbet puts it in this illustration from Visual Leaders, "Do you see what he said?" And they do.
Lesson: any time the conversation gets complex, have your most visually competent participant start writing the major points up on a wall somehow.
Further trick: put the desired state on the far right, put the current reality on the far left, and objections on the bottom half of the center as "hurdles" to be overcome. Most native speakers of English equate the left with the past and the right with the future (we read left-to-right). This leaves the top half of the center for solutions for overcoming the hurdles. Most audiences get this layout intuitively.
David Sibbet
I interviewed David Sibbet to ask him about the impact of visuals on the effort to lead.
Q: Why this book?
A: Visual Leaders was written for leaders and managers, who work WITH visual practitioners and want to support making their organization visually literate. The first book "Visual Meetings" was for the facilitator of meetings. The second book "Visual Teams" was for teams, and covered both visual tools AND the team dynamic — that one is perhaps most useful to internal team developers, HR people, and so on.
This third book is in color, and is written to the leader and manager.
Q: Who should read it?
A: Any leader who needs to know what's possible so they can support their people. There's an explosion of options, and this cuts through to the best for given needs.
It also lets you increase your visual tools, and provides the 'seven essential tools' — chapters 7-13
Q: Who has done this? What happened?
A: The big shift is, realizing that the key to results is motivating and engagement IN the plans — not just HAVING the plans. And people get motivated more when they co-create.
Visual facilitation takes standard tools of design and data visualization, and gets you working iteratively and interactively with the team.
I'm now working with a global procurement organization. They want to be more organized globally about procurement.
Clearly, if you're better organized you'll save a lot of money. Yet historically, their divisions grew up with their own suppliers. The central procurement people need to become consultants to those divisions. So, to change, they had to change the procurement organization
Rather than do a top-down plan and announcement, the leader engaged the top managers in a collaborative process. In a meeting of 60 people over several days, they went through a strategy and visioning exercise, starting with the top leaders stating strategy, and engaging the rest of the people on how that might happen.
The result included a complex and detailed visual that they now call their "North Star" — it has guided them for three years.
They now can go through a best practices process, very consistently, that visually involves their client organizations. They've been very successful.
Another example is the DLR Group.
DLR set a 5-year goal and plan, using this visual approach, and set the goal of creating a best-in-the-country firm. It's hard to manage and align people in that industry (architecture) because they are so collegial and non-hierarchical. Within five years, they were in fact rated one of the best firms in the country. DLR attributes much of their success to their use of the visual tools.
In each case Sibbet relates, people wanted high engagement and buy-in. There is a nice interplay between a leader with a vision of what they want to do, who can also listen and upgrade their vision as they engage.
The quality of people's thinking goes up when they engage visually. Visual leadership works.
If you change the way the information is displayed, it disrupts memory. If you preserve that display, it upholds memory. You create a kind of "internal memory theater" — not unlike the "Mind Palace" mentioned by memory experts.
(This works at the individual level — with vision boards and similar tools — where it's more helpful to visualize yourself working on the goal than just achieving it. See also Lean Visual Management.)
The fad for graphical meeting illustration is okay, says Sibbet, but is in some ways less effective than a co-created image that is shared.
We all work smarter and faster when we get visual.

Pickens sheriff releases 911 tapes from Dacusville shooting scene
DACUSVILLE - On 911 tapes, a neighbor is almost immediately suspicious that something terrible has happened because after a woman wrecked a car in her driveway her husband and two kids would not answer the door.
"Is there a policeman that's gonna come out here? 'Cause somethings not right," the neighbor said in an early Tuesday morning 911 call.
Pickens County sheriff's deputies released three 911 recordings Thursday.
Deputies are still waiting for Suzanna Simpson's condition to improve before arresting her on charges of shooting to death her children, 5-year-old Sawyer and 7-year-old Carly. She will also be charged with the shooting of her husband, the children's father, 34-year-old Michael Simpson.
As of 8 a.m. Friday, Michael was in critical condition and Suzanna, who goes by Anna, was in fair condition, according to a spokeswoman from Greenville Memorial Hospital.
The neighbor who called 911 first said there had been a wreck that wrenched a tree from the ground. He made a second call after knocking on the door and getting no response.
The wreck was first called into 911 at 5:21 a.m. Tuesday, said Creed Hashe, chief deputy of the Pickens County Sheriff's Office.
In a third 911 call, someone can be heard talking to Anna Simpson, telling her not to move.
"OK, don't move, don't move, OK?" the caller tells Simpson, before telling a 911 operator, "She is responding. She don't know where she is. She don't know who she is. She's been knocked unconscious."
The 911 dispatcher says responders, including a South Carolina Highway Patrol trooper and ambulances, are on the way.
Soon after officials arrived, they realized that the neighbor's fears were justified.
The two children had been shot to death in their beds, according to arrest warrants for Suzanna Simpson.
She faces the possibility of the death penalty, prosecutors have said.
Teddy bears, balloons and no-trespassing signs have now taken the place of the crime tape and police cruisers that stood in front of the home Tuesday.
The Simpsons' home on busy Cherokee Trail sits on a corner, almost within sight of Dacusville Elementary School where family and friends hosted a memorial Thursday night. The children attended the school, where Simpson was known as a loving and devoted mother.
Investigators said Tuesday they were unsure of a motive and they have not commented since then about any possible explanation for the shootings.
Pickens County Sheriff Rick Clark said he thanked the community for the support that has been given to the family as well as to the investigators.
"As we continue to pray for the victims and their families, I remain confident that Pickens County will never allow them to be forgotten," Clark said in a statement. "Our county will bounce back and in spite of this great loss we will become a stronger and even closer-knit community."

Norwich — The St. Vincent de Paul Place soup kitchen and food pantry will move to the former St. Joseph School on Cliff Street starting Monday for the next two months as repairs are made to the former train station that now houses the facility, officials said.
Jillian Corbin, executive director of St. Vincent de Paul Place, said the need to move was sudden and came after the soup kitchen relocated the food pantry from one end of the building to the other to accommodate the structural repair work. A scaffold has been erected outside the former food pantry location.
But as the work grew more extensive, Corbin said, the need to move to avoid shutdown became apparent.
The move to the former school cafeteria at 120 Cliff St. will be made without interruption of service, Corbin said. A new pantry space in the former school was being cleaned Tuesday. More cleaning will be done today, and the move will take place Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Lunch will be brown-bag on Saturday, she said, and the full service facility should be open on Monday.
On average, about 250 people per day come to St. Vincent, Corbin estimated. The soup kitchen, food pantry and St. Vincent's case management services will be run at the school during the temporary relocation.
Corbin printed maps of downtown to show patrons how to get to St. Joseph School. The maps will be posted at the train station and throughout downtown.
Corbin said several organizations and businesses are helping with the move, defraying much of the cost. AT&T will reconnect phones. Workers from AIC Community Solutions and Adult Probation are helping, and Norwich Public Utilities will connect the convection oven at the school.
The school does not have a handicapped entrance, so Corbin is working with a contractor to try to install an access ramp. She also is working with a plumber to build a shower — an important component of the St. Vincent de Paul Place mission, since it provides the only public shower in the city for patrons.
Patrons also wash clothes at St. Vincent. Corbin said that service will be continued through vouchers at local laundromats.
The school's dishwasher can only accommodate utensils, so the soup kitchen will need paper plates and bowls and plastic hot and cold cups for the estimated 300 meals served each day.
She praised St. Joseph's parish for its support with the move.
"In this unexpected and serious turn of events, it is heartwarming and affirming when our Catholic brothers and sisters support our ministry to serve those in need in our community," Corbin said.
Volunteers are still needed to help with the move. To volunteer or donate paper goods to the soup kitchen, contact St. Vincent de Paul at (860) 889-7374.
Although this move will be temporary, Diocese of Norwich spokesman Michael Strammiello said relocating the soup kitchen to the vacant school permanently has been one of the options considered by the diocese for reusing the school building that closed in June 2010. But Strammiello and Corbin both said Tuesday that the current move is temporary only for the duration of the repairs.
