UKRAINE became independent in 1991 when the
USSR collapsed, so has made its own way for the past 25 years. In our World
Audit's 2016 report it ranks (out of 150 nations) 69th in the world for its
overall Democracy, to which its Press Freedom rank contributed its
85th position and critically Corruption at 114th. It is geographically
European but by these criteria is far behind any comparable European nation.
Whilst its people fit quite comfortably into the European pattern, its
rulers do not. It seems that 'independence' to the ruling classes (those
with influence and/or money), meant that the bribes that used to be paid
within Ukraine, back in the Soviet days, the bulk of which had then to be
forwarded to Moscow, could now remain in their entirety, in Kiev. Over and
again there have been changes in leadership, individuals many of whom were
already rich, but were probably richer on leaving office. Sadly, even those
who tried have failed to reform, or meaningfully impact the concept of
public service integrity.
Culturally western Ukraine is inclined to Europe. It is after all an ancient European state under other names. At one point some six centuries ago combined with Poland and Lithuania, it formed the largest state that Europe has ever seen, stretching coast to coast, the Baltic to the Black Sea. Its ruination was being a member of the Russian Empire where it had a particularly bad time in the 20th Century at the hands of Moscow, under the USSR's new communist masters, implanting communist theory by force, into Ukraine's agriculture, resulting in mass starvation. Then it, and neighbouring Belarus, bore the brunt of the enormous land battles between the USSR and the Wehrmacht in the opening and closing stages of WWII.
It is unlike several other European former Soviet states, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, all of which made a determined effort to shake off the Russian bear. Ukraine in the east particularly, is Russian speaking and understandably Russia inclined, with Moscow's full encouragement; but with Washington tugging in the other direction. Unfortunately for Ukraine and Europe, the struggle from the US side was and is led by neo-con officials in the State Department, to whom Ukraine is a pawn in a global 'Great Game.' The Russians under Putin, have of course relentlessly pursued the Russian interest, which burst out as we all know, in an ugly unfinished civil war, fought out in the eastern provinces. The upshot is very close to being a simmering Great Power proxy war.
There are obvious solutions which we suggested years ago, that the so-called 'independent Republics' of Luhansk and Donetsk in contention, should be given a referendum conducted by OSCE or another international agency, asking if they wished to be a part of the Russian Federation, or of the State of Ukraine. It seemed obvious to us that the old Soviet Russia-Ukraine boundaries were purely administrative, never negotiated; and also from Kiev's point of view, that remaining in Ukraine, if what they really wished was to be in Russia, means that this region would never be an asset to Kiev, but always a liability.
In this September issue we carry the story forward (from our May edition) "Ukraine: US' & Russia's Corrupt Target State."
SYRIA is still permanently in the world news as it has been for five years. It has been covered by us for longer than that period, and it's story becomes even more complicated. Russia is now a full-on player and with domestic Islamicist problems within its own vast territories, has every reason to seek to close down ISIS, apart from supporting the Assad government and remaining a 'player' in world politics. Turkey after all these years, has stirred itself by sending military across the Syrian frontier, not against Syrian troops fortunately, but pre-emptively against its enemy of choice, the Kurds. After many suspected that Turkey had long been a not so secret backer of the Islamic State, on account of its open borders to their people and trade, particularly contraband oil from Syrian and even Iraqi oil-wells, that financed the Caliphate. Turkey may or may not react militarily against ISIS where they have thus far seriously dragged their heels. That remains an open question. But if they were complicit, Erdogan has been poorly recompensed with IS terrorist explosions in Istanbul, Ankara and elsewhere.
The middle-eastern chequer board is as complex as ever with Iran more fully involved, Russia with limited objectives, one of which is to have a seat at the table that finally decides what post-war Syria might look like. Our September contribution, "Russia Outflanks the US in Syria with help from Iran" describes ephemeral geopolitical waves, as of recent events in the region, (stories of Israeli –Saudi cooperation, moving on from the theoretical as well as China's involvement in Syria).
Finally, this issue includes "Democracy is Not Doing Well"! - data which tells that Free Speech, Media Freedom, that fundamental and essential component of democracy, is in steady decline around the World, as measured over recent years in the 2016 report of Freedom House (the World's oldest NGO). It's a serious matter when such a key building block of 'the better world' we strive for, or at least should do, to bequeath to our descendants is proven over several years to be failing.
Will it be up to them to do a better job, or is mankind simply incapable of sufficiently recognising and promoting unselfishness, over short term materialism?

Ukraine: US' & Russia's Corrupt Target State
When the Minsk agreements were
concluded by the Normandy quartet, the leaders of Ukraine, Russia, France and
Germany in February of last year, there was a general sense that perhaps peace
could be reached in the Ukraine, which has, in the course of the past three
years, seen a violent regime change, the annexation of Crimea, and a bloody
conflict in its eastern parts. The settlement saw warring sides of Presidents
Petro Poroshenko and Vladimir Putin reach an agreement on a withdrawal of heavy
weaponry and a ceasefire. Significantly, the agreement was signed by the leaders
of the pro-Russian self-proclaimed independent republics of Luhansk and Donetsk
in the country's east, where fighting has been concentrated, as the accord
promised that a degree of decentralisation would be offered to the breakaway
June of this year, however, saw a sharp spike in violence, along with a build up of Russian troops on Ukraine's border and sharpened rhetoric on both sides, culminating in Petro Poroshenko's warning on August 18 that he 'could not rule out a full scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia' and that if the situation in Crimea continued to deteriorate, Kiev would have to 'impose martial law and order mobilization'. The West has watched the situation keenly, with the media seeing Putin's actions in Ukraine as the embodiment of his hawkishness and untrustworthiness.
However, Washington is far from being a neutral figure in the conflict, having made clear (largely thanks to the leaked Victoria Nuland phone call of February 2014) that it has its own plans for the state. [continues...]
Russia outflanks the U.S in Syria with help from Iran
Russia makes an all-out effort
for Aleppo with help from Iran and …China
When Russian air force Tu-22 and Su-34 bombers took off on August 17 from the Iranian air base of Nojeh, 50 kilometers north of Hamedan, Moscow sent an important signal about its goals in the Syrian conflict. With the excuse of operational advantages, such as a higher number of missions with more bombs to deploy because the base is only 700 km. from Aleppo rather than 2,000 km (Mozdok airport), Russia and Iran want to play an even greater role in defending their Shiite ally, president al-Asad, in Damascus. Meanwhile, as of August 22, the Russian ambassador to Iran confirmed that at the moment there are no more Russian planes in Iran.
He, stressed however, that there is no reason why these cannot return in the near future.
It seems Russia was too 'open' about its use of the Iranian base, which caused some minor tremors in the Iranian establishment. The Iranians claim Russia was asked to leave the base because of ungentlemanly conduct, but the more likely reason may owe to the frequent internal bickering between various factions of Iran's armed forces – the more conservative Revolutionary Guards and the more nationalist armed forces. There are also historical reasons that cut across all lines. [continues...]
Democracy is not doing well!
On a global basis, that critical
element of democracy: Press Freedom data (the key indicator for free speech in
the media and at every level, worldwide), suggests that in the world as a
whole, earlier years' progress has peaked and is now in decline:
[World Democracy Audit our companion website, works in association with Freedom House using their Freedom of Speech data to determine the democratic rankings of the world's 150 largest nations, in our report. www.worlddemocracyaudit.org].
Key Findings of Freedom House (the world's oldest NGO)
• Press freedom declined to its lowest point in 12 years in 2015, as political, criminal, and terrorist forces sought to co-opt or silence the media in their broader struggle for power.
• Only 13 percent of the world's population enjoys a Free press—that is, where coverage of political news is robust, the safety of journalists is guaranteed, state intrusion in media affairs is minimal, and the press is not subject to onerous legal or economic pressures.
• Forty-one percent of the world's population has a Partly Free press, and 46 percent live in Not Free media environments. [continues...]

The global financial crisis has been a catalyst for change in the commercial real estate market, with investors seeking secure income streams from prime and 'super-prime' real estate assets. The UK remains a top investment target for many, with inward investment activity increasing and advantageous tax treatments for overseas investors investing in UK real estate.
Other factors, such as low interest rates encouraging redevelopment of outdated stock across the sector and the shift towards sustainable development, are promising. The fall in construction activity over the last five years has also created a backlog of demand for new buildings and new asset classes (such as residential) continue to attract interest and capital.
Our real estate tax team is the leading tax team in the legal industry and an integral part of the firm's real estate practice. We advise on a range of real estate transactions, including property acquisitions, developments, leasing and holding structures, investments for residents and non-residents, funds, joint ventures, property company takeovers, listings and M&A. We pride ourselves on being able to deliver highly innovative, user friendly tax advice for clients. Through our non-UK offices and expansive network of preferred firms, we can help clients wherever they are based in the world.
We advise banks, developers, investors, private clients with real estate assets, funds (including sovereign wealth funds), corporate occupiers, hotels, student accommodation providers and government agencies. Example clients include Land Securities, Delancey, Quintain, Blackstone, Exemplar, National Pension Service of Korea, Canary Wharf, Olympic Delivery Authority, Transport for London and Oxford Properties.
Our work, both within the UK and across multiple jurisdictions, includes:
The fund was advised on the purchase of a shopping centre in West London, which is part of an ambitious £1bn plan to turn Bayswater's Queensway area into a "Covent Garden of the West" by 2020.
Tax and structuring advice to a Dutch property fund on the acquisition of a property holding SPV which was migrated from Hong Kong to Guernsey. Further advice was given on the tax aspects of setting up a Luxembourg holding structure, obtaining senior debt finance at acquisition and restructuring the debt into senior and mezzanine loans.
Advising the joint venture between Canary Wharf and Land Securities to develop the "Walkie Talkie" building at 20 Fenchurch Street. The proposed 37 storey building will include approximately 690,000 sq ft of world class space with a skygarden on the top three floors. Completion of the project is anticipated in 2014.
Advised Peregrine on the creation of a new Guernsey listed but UK tax resident REIT (ApexHi), one of the few examples of a new fund establishing itself as a REIT.
Advised the client generally on all tax issues involved. Admiralty Arch is the iconic building that provides an entrance to the Mall.
We have a longstanding role with Tesco and we have continued to advise on the multi-billion pound programme of releasing value from their property portfolio. We have advised on a series of off balance joint ventures with sales and operating leasebacks funded by securitised debt, as well as other transactions including a £450.5m commercial mortgage backed security (CMBS) issue in January 2012.
Advised Oxford Property Group on the structuring of their acquisition of the Green Park complex in Reading from Prudential Assurance Company.
Advised Round Hill Capital on its purchase of Nido student accommodation business from the private equity firm Blackstone. The deal, worth £415m, is one of the largest structured corporate real estate transactions since the start of the downturn. BLP advised Round Hill on all aspects of the deal, which included the financing, structuring and tax issues.
Advised the South Korean sovereign wealth fund on the tax aspects of the share purchase from HSBC of an SPV owner of the HSBC tower at 8 Canada Square and on associated asset management arrangements with JP Morgan Asset Management.

• Horror Movies •
With the approach of All Hallows' Eve, consider one of the many fine films in the horror genre to copilot your quasi-satanic celebration. Remember "video" in the call# means VHS - those scary looking tapes that your parents used to watch. Never fear - we have VHS players in the IMC. And for your own horror-movie, haunted-house, film-fest, don't forget to reserve a projector and screen from the IMC. Trigger warnings include gore, death, decapitation, dismemberment, disembowelment, defenestration, immolation, annihilation, skinning, scalping, sex and violence.
Nosferatu, a Symphony of Horror - PN1995.9.H67 N684 2009 DVD The original Dracula movie from famed silent film director F.W. Murnau, starring Max Schreck as Count Orlock, is considered the first critically acclaimed horror feature film. Nosferatu premiered in 1922 with different names for the main characters, as the studio did not acquire copyright clearance of the screenplay from the Stoker estate. The real horror came from the ensuing lawsuit for copyright infringement, which they won – with a court order to destroy all copies of the film. Luckily, one copy survived and begat many copies which continue to play among the canon of great films.
Psycho – PN1995.9.H6 P8935 2000 DVD A man, a mother, a motel, and a maiden in distress, culminating in a most unfortunate shower scene. Hitchcock at his best.
The Shining - PN1995.9.H6 S565 2007 DVD Stanley Kubrick directs this Christmas classic with jolly old Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, and a supporting cast of fun-loving kids (the twins are adorable). As caretakers for a lodge, the Torrance family gets snowed in, making the best of it with games of make-believe, indoor tricycling, and high-stakes hide and seek. Scatman Crothers provides comic relief.
Halloween – PN1995.9.H6 H3556 2003 DVD The most common reported nightmare is being chased by the monster that can't be killed. You can thank John Carpenter for that. You can also thank him for reestablishing theme music as part of the horror film aesthetic.
Friday the 13th – PN1995.9.H6 F76 2011 DVD This quintessential summer-camp-blood-bath kicked off the 80s vintage of slasher films, which raised the stakes in terms of creative extermination and iconic supernatural serial killers. It also gives viewers one important message – having sex at summer camp will probably result in your violent death. The IMC has both versions. Skip the reboot and get the original – and the three sequels.
Nightmare on Elm Street – PN1997.A1 N54 2010 DVD The next series of 80s slasher films was launched by Wes Craven in 1984, starring the gruesome Freddy Krueger, a burn victim with a penchant for haunting teenagers' dreams with his razor sharp protrusions and wit. The film masterfully blurs the line between dream and reality, viscerally escorting the audience into exhaustive contemplation over which realm they are experiencing. The sequels devolve into laughable caricatures of themselves, including a crossover with Friday the 13th – but the original film remains a pillar of the modern horror genre.
Rosemary's Baby – PS3523.E7993 R672 2000 DVD Roman Polanski's film about Mia Farrow's demonic child. This film gave birth to the demon-child genre as it was followed soon after by The Exorcist, The Other, and The Omen.
The Exorcist - PS3552.L392 E962 1998 DVD The undisputed champion of demon-child films, The Exorcist raised the bar on shock horror. When a young girl becomes possessed by the devil, a priest and his apprentice commence exorcising. Death and gore ensue. Nominated for 10 Academy Awards.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) - PS3556.I52 I58 1986 video The middle version of three major film adaptations of Jack Finney's classic science fiction novel. Critics seem to prefer the original for it's political connotations. This version is scarier and the acting is better.
Jaws – PN1995.9.H67 J398 2005 DVD Selachophobia: the fear of sharks. If you don't have that phobia, you will. Surfing in the US was down 20% following the release of this movie.
Poltergeist – PN1995.9.H6 P658 2007 DVD Some of the visual effects haven't held up over time but the plot and performance make this one of the scariest movies ever. Haunted house – check. Desecrated Indian burial ground – check. Creepy kid that talks to spirits – that too. All the clichés are in place and played out to perfection. But the scariest thing about this movie… the tragic, real-life death of the young actors after the movie's release.
Alien – PN1997 .A456 2003 DVD Conversely, Ridley Scott's Alien, made in 1979, has held up quite well in terms of special effects - everything from the sets to the emergence of the little creature itself. This movie launched modern horror sci-fi and several sequels of varying quality.
An American Werewolf in London - PN 1995.9.H6 A54 2009 DVD Comedy writer/director John Landis (Animal House) wrote and directed this bizarre movie that is equal parts comedy and horror. Two friends backpacking across London are attacked by a werewolf, resulting in one animated corpse and one werewolf. Surprisingly good special effects - for 1981.
Eraserhead - PN1997 .E735 2005 DVD What is this film about? Make it up for yourself. Bottom line, it's twisted and creepy. David Lynch's first full-length film is a must see for film students, an exercise in Lynchian surreality.
Videodrome - PN1997 .V537 1998 DVD Cable TV programmer Max Renn seeks out the ultimate in bizarre shows for his channel. He meets a mysterious supplier named Harlan who gives him access to an underground sex and violence network called "Videodrome."
Let the Right One in – PN1997.2 .L48 2009 DVD Swedish vampire movie, adapted from John Ajvide Lindqvist's Swedish bestseller, about a girl who has been 12 years-old for a long time. The best of the bunch in contemporary vampire film.
Hell House – PN1997 .H455 2003 DVD The folks populating the fringes of Dallas, Texas have some serious biblical issues to tell you about. To bring it down to a level we can all understand and fear, they host the annual "Hell House" on Halloween. Inside, the actors (mostly high school kids) play out scenes of eternal damnation. This can be viewed as either a comedy or as one of the scariest movies you've ever seen.
Cloverfield - PN1995.9.S26 C5684745453 2008 DVD What starts out as an unexpected earthquake in NYC, soon turns into a modern day Godzilla. A group of party goers document the ordeal on a handheld camcorder while attempting to save a friend.
Audition - PN1995.9.H6 O35 2009 DVD One of the best in contemporary Japanese shock-horror... A widowed film producer seeks a new wife at the urging of his son. He holds an audition for an imaginary film, during which he is smitten by a beautiful actreess/former ballet dancer fallen on hard times. In the end, it was the actress auditioning her next victim.
It Follows - PN1995.9.H6 I82 2015 DVD After a sexual encounter, 19 year-old Jay is haunted by visions of inescapable horror. As visions manifest into reality, her frinds desparately try to save her from the curse that follows. Debates about the movie's message range from AIDS allergory to the aftermath of sexual assault.
Get Out - PN1997.2 .G48 2017 DVD "Now that Chris and his girlfriend, Rose, have reached the meet-the-parents milestone of dating, she invites him for a weekend getaway upstate with Missy and Dean. At first, Chris reads the family's overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he could have never imagined." (Rotton Tomatoes)
The Blair Witch Project - PN1997 .B535 1999 DVD True story about three film students who venture into the forests of Maryland in search of evidence of local folk legend "The Blair Witch" never to return. A year later, their film footage was found and turned into a documentary.
Don't Breathe - PN1997.2 .D66 2016 DVD "Hoping to walk away with a massive fortune, a trio of thieves break into the house of a blind man who isn't as helpless as he seems." (IMDB)
Suspiria – PN1995.9.I8 S872 2007 DVD Here's a clip from the IMDB plot synopsis. "While alone in the bathroom, she becomes transfixed by a pair of shining eyes outside the window, and a decidedly inhuman arm smashes through the glass, grabbing her. She is pulled out of the window onto the roof, stabbed numerous times, and then hanged by a cord when she falls through the skylight. The huge pieces of glass and metal that break out of the skylight fall on Pat's friend, killing her by impaling her body and her head in numerous places." Enough said.
Deep Red – PN1995.9.I8 D446 2007 DVD "A psychic who can read minds picks up the thoughts of a murderer in the audience and soon becomes a victim. An English pianist gets involved in solving the murders, but finds many of his avenues of inquiry cut off by new murders, and he begins to wonder how the murderer can track his movements so closely" (IMDB)
Zombie - PN1995.9.I8 Z6525 2004 DVD "Girl seeking lost father turns up on Caribbean island aided by journalist and two locals, where they meet an English doctor, trying desperately to cure a plague which brings the dead back to life!" (IMDB)
Don't Look Now – PN1997 .D658 2002 DVD from the Reed catalog – "Psychic terror in a Gothic setting provides the chilling backdrop in this tale of a couple's search for the ghost of their dead daughter."
Les Yeux sans Visage – PN1995.9.F67 Y94 2004 DVD from the Reed catalog - "A plastic surgeon, holed up in a Paris mansion, is obsessively slicing off the faces of kidnapped women and grafting the flayed skin onto the rotting countenance of his beloved young daughter, disfigured in an automobile accident."
The Blob - PN1995.9.S26 B5 2000 DVD A small town is menaced by a mass of protoplasm from outer space, which turns blood-red and grows larger as it consumes residents. The film was Steve McQueen's debut leading role. See it for the creative silicone-laden special effects and for the hilarity of 30-year-olds playing bad teens.
The Nightmare Before Christmas - PN1995.9.C5113 T56 2008 Jack Skellington "The Pumpkin King" has grown tired of the same old Halloween. Jealous of the attention that Christmas garners, Jack sets out to remake the holiday in his own likeness and in musical fashion. Tim Burton's unique animation technique set the bar for modern day stop-motion animation, sparking a renaissance in the genre.

A $40m theme park celebrating the life of the famous fictional detective Sherlock Holmes is set to be built in Portsmouth, England, where author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle — who created the character in 1887 — used to live.
The park would feature rides and hi-tech holograms of the main characters as they solve crimes and re-enact scenes from stories such as The Hound of the Baskervilles.
The original stories were set in the late 19th century and saw the detective use reasoning and logic to solve crimes in partnership with Dr John Watson and sometimes with members of the Scotland Yard detective force.
Since publication the stories have never been out of print and the characters have undergone numerous transformations, including stage, screen, radio and TV versions.
"What we are talking about is a world class Sherlock Holmes experience," Steve Pitt, of the Portsmouth Cultural Partnership, the organisation that came up with the idea said. "It would be very interactive and high quality."
The city already has a large collection of original Conan Doyle material as well as posters and props from movies and TV shows – including the two latest incarnations which feature Robert Downey Jnr on the big screen and Benedict Cumberbatch as a 21st century Holmes in a TV series shown round the world.

Trekking Vegas
I just recently returned from one of the funnest weekend trips of my life. A few years ago I had gone to Las Vegas with a few friends and talked them into making a side trip to the Las Vegas Hilton for one purpose: To ride Star Trek: The Experience — a live-action simulation of being kidnapped by Klingons from the future, transported to the Enterprise, and then evacuated by shuttle craft back to Earth. In my opinion more fun than Star Tours at Disneyland. Afterward we ate lunch in Quark's Bar & Restaurant where I realized I needed my friend Joan to experience all of this with me someday.
Finally, Joan and I made plans to attend Creation's 3rd Annual Official Star Trek Convention at the Las Vegas Hilton (coverage by TrekNation). We arrived via United Express on Friday morning and spent the entire weekend watching some of our favorite celebrities speak on stage to an audience of around 3,000. Many of the fans were dressed like their favorite character in their Federation uniforms, or as Klingons, Borg, Andorians, or Ferengi. We even saw a Jedi Knight who said his powers wouldn't work in this universe.
We started the weekend with George Takei, saw several other celebrities throughout the weekend, and ended it with a dual appearance by Shatner and Nimoy. In between speakers we wandered around the convention room where there were booths selling any kind of sci-fi trinket, weapon, picture, or action figure you could think of. Celebrities of other sci-fi tv shows were also there getting in on the action (like Richard Keil of James Bond movies, and Herb Jefferson Jr of Battlestar Galactica). In the evenings Joan and I hit some of the casinos like Paris, MGM Grand, the Luxor, and we even saw the water show in front of the Bellagio. Saturday night we nearly walked ourselves to death and then decided (ok, needed) to get some root beer floats before returning to our regeneration chamber.
Every day was as fun as the last and I can't wait to do it again. Maybe next year.

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 13, 2014
As more than 2.3 million Syrian women and girls of reproductive age continue to bear the brunt of the largest humanitarian crisis in the world, UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, is seeking around $81 million to continue supporting these women and girls to stay healthy and safe and to care for their families.
"Every Syrian woman must have access to affordable reproductive health care and be protected from gender-based violence, which can occur at every stage of conflict," says Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin, Executive Director of UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, in advance of the Second International Humanitarian Pledging Conference for Syria, to take place this week in Kuwait. "As the number of Syrian women and girls of reproductive age is estimated to reach five million by the end of 2014, we count on the international community's support for UNFPA to continue to deliver lifesaving services to each and every one of them."
Today, around 1.6 million Syrian women and girls of reproductive age are displaced within Syria while more than 500,000 are refugees in neighboring countries. There are an estimated 50,000 refugees who are currently pregnant and require care, and around 21,000 newborns whose mothers are refugees. Around 75 per cent of the refugees live outside formal settlements, and 43 per cent of those families are headed by women who face severe economic challenges.
UNFPA's lifesaving services to women and girls of reproductive age are aimed at reducing maternal morbidity and death within Syria and in countries affected by the crisis. In 2013, UNFPA provided reproductive and maternal health services, including emergency obstetric care, to nearly two million Syrian women and assisted in more than 10,000 normal deliveries and 5,000 Caesarean sections.
In addition, UNFPA ensured the provision of free reproductive health services through the establishment of an innovative voucher system within Syria which has so far benefitted 110,000 women. More than 600,000 dignity kits containing basic hygiene items, such as soap and sanitary pads, were also distributed. UNPFA supported 93 health facilities and mobile clinics within Syria and established more than 20 reproductive health and mobile clinics in Jordan, Iraq and Egypt.
UNFPA has also established services to ensure that women are protected from gender-based violence and that survivors can seek help. In 2013, nearly 38,000 survivors of gender-based violence within Syria were provided with psychosocial support. The Fund also established 31 safe spaces for women and 21 youth friendly spaces in camps and host communities, where awareness sessions are conducted as an entry-point for the prevention of violence, including early marriage and trafficking.
UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, delivers a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person's potential is fulfilled.

Course Structure
Topic 1) Mastering the Linux Terminal
Understand the How AND Why of the Linux Command Line
If you want true mastery, it's not enough to learn how to do something. You need to understand why.
In this section, you will learn what Linux commands are, and how they are structured so that you can get valuable insight into how working with the Linux command line works, rather than just memorising command after command after command like other Linux courses will make you do.
You will learn important concepts such as:
The difference between the Linux terminal and the shell
Command Input and Output
Data Redirection.
Connecting Linux Commands together to Build Sophisticated Data Pipelines.
And so many other useful concepts that will give you the fundamental skills to confidently use the command line to accomplish anything you want.
This course also focuses on empowering you to be an independent learner of the Linux operating system so you will also learn how to use the Linux Manual.
Knowing how to use the Linux manual will give you the independence to do what you want to do, rather than just what other people have shown you.
Topic 2) Mastering the Linux File System
Increase Productivity by Working with Files from the Linux Command Line
Once you've become a master of the Linux terminal and understood the critical concepts behind what you're doing, you will then move on to gain mastery over the Linux File System.
Working with Files is what we do 99% of the time when we work with computers and in this section you will learn how to navigate the file system from the command line and perform a whole bunch of tasks with files and folders such as:
How to Create files and folders in Linux
How to Delete files and folders in Linux
How to Copy and paste files and folders in Linux.
How to Move and Rename files and folders in Linux.
How to Find files and Sort data in Linux.
How to Backup and Compress files and folders in Linux.
But you'll do it all from the Linux command line!
You will also learn some productivity tips to squeeze every bit of juice out of your command line work as well as getting a tour of the Linux file system so that you feel right at home 🙂
Topic 3) Mastering Task Automation and Scheduling
Save time by automating the boring stuff!
Once you've mastered the Linux file system, we will turn our attention to task automation and scheduling.
Now, if you're the kind of person who loves to automate tasks and free up your spare time, you will LOVE this section!
We will cover how to write bash scripts and automate them using a special scheduling program called cron so that you can automate the boring stuff and increase your productivity.
Topic 4) Mastering Package Managers and Software Repositories
Discover new tools and possibilities by exploring Open Source Software.
Then in the Final section of the course, we will turn our attention to Linux software management.
One great thing about Linux is that it is an open source operating system that is being contributed to by millions and millions of people around the world.
In this section of the course you will gain the independence to search through this enormous body of software for cool new tools that do what you want, and learn how to install and manage that software all from the Linux command line.
You will also learn how to access source code and customise programs, as well as understand the subtle differences between free and open source software.
Projects + Quizzes
At the end of each section there are capstone projects that serve as badges of honor that confirm you have fully understood concepts and are ready to progress to the next level of Linux mastery.
There are also quizzes scattered throughout the course to further check your understanding.
BONUS: Lecture Summaries + Cheat sheets.
The course also comes with free professionally-designed cheat sheets and section summaries so you don't even need to take notes!

Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Fourteen games into the season, the Lakers are 3-11, with Kobe Bryant clearly gassed and the injury bug continuing to bite. (Poor Xavier Henry.) And as a gander at the schedule reminds, it's gonna get a lot tougher before it gets even theoretically better.
Um… best drug rehabilitation
best wireless speakers
construction jobs
knee pain
plantar fasciitis treatment
alcohol withdrawal
construction careers
bluetooth wireless speakers
Happy Thanksgiving? (Unless you're rooting for the Lakers to keep their lottery pick, in which case, Happy Thanksgiving!)
The show can be heard by clicking on the module, and below is a list of talking points. Among the highlights.
- Fourteen games into the season, it's grown clear Kobe Bryant is beyond exhausted upon averaging nearly 36 minutes per game at age 36 on the heels of two significant injuries. Byron Scott's solution? Keep those minutes as is, but limit Kobe's practice time. On several counts, this is a terrible approach that also perhaps speaks to the coach's troubling mentality.
- Once again, Kobe's Kontract has become a topic of discussion. We explain why Bryant simultaneously has a point and misses the point while defending his salary.
- We take a look at some big stories around the NBA. Nike tries to pull a fast one on Allen Iverson. Hornets Forward Jeff Taylor opts not to appeal his 24-game suspension for a domestic abuse incident. Chris Kaman doesn't believe in Big Foot. (Seriously. He said this.) Can the Clippers and/or Cavaliers right the ship after a sluggish start?
- In our new "Not Sports Story" segment, we break down Taylor Swift's mysterious refusal to show her belly button. What's up with that?
- We continue with new segments, this one called "Person of Interest." We take a look at the new-but-old allegations of Bill Cosby and sexual assault, and the way social media now completely dictates what collectively grabs our attention as a society.
- It's time for AAK!!! The theme? Thanksgiving! Will the Lakers finish with more wins than guests at the Kamenetzky dinner table on Thursday? Do the K Bros partake in Black Friday? Which of us is the bigger eater and the bigger drinker during the holiday? How much do Kobe Bryant's teammates get to eat while celebrating with The Mamba?
- Finally, a new segment called "Mitch Kupchak explains something."

Over the past couple of years, QR codes have cropped up everywhere from billboards to ketchup bottles.
They became the must-have gimmick for marketers, even when they didn't actually offer consumers any relevant or useful content.
In recent months frivolous uses of QR codes seems to be less prevalent as marketers have realised that people don't scan them in huge numbers, if at all.
But that doesn't mean that QR codes are useless. We previously reported studies which show that 19% of UK consumers have scanned a QR code, with 3.3m people doing it in Q2 alone. We've also found several examples of QR campaigns that worked well.
So if you're considering using a QR code in your new ad campaign, here are eight tips that you should consider before you do...
1. Make sure it serves a purpose
This seems to be less of an issue in recent months (or maybe I've just stopped noticing them), but QR codes are still often used in adverts without any discernable purpose.
So before slapping a QR code on your next magazine ad or bus poster, think about what it actually adds to the user experience.
Are you allowing them to access product information or maybe a discount voucher? Is it something that people will go out of their way to stop and scan?
I recently passed an estate agent in London that put QR codes on the property ads in its window, which is a great idea as it allows house hunters to quickly pick up property details on the go.
That's assuming the estate agent adhered to the next rule...
2. Don't link to a desktop site
The golden rule of QR codes is that you MUST NOT link users to a desktop site.
QR codes are an innately mobile experience so the content you want consumers to view must be mobile optimised.
If you actually manage to get consumers to scan your code then presenting them with a desktop site will undermine your efforts as they won't stick around to read your content.
3. Placement
We've been quick to point out ridiculous uses of QR codes, and they are definitely worth taking a look at for a laugh.
But even if your ad doesn't make it into a list of stupid uses of QR codes, there is still a danger that you will put it somewhere that people either don't notice or can't quite reach.
For example, if your code is on a massive tube poster don't tuck it away in the top corner as people probably won't be able to reach it, but equally people are unlikely to stoop down to scan a QR code that's stuck in the bottom corner.
In reality people aren't going to bother scanning your QR code unless it's put on a plate for them, so think about your ad in the context of where it will be seen.
If you don't think you'd notice it or be happy to scan it in public, then why are you using one?
4. Size matters
The absolute minimum size a QR code should be is one inch square, as not only does it make it difficult to scan but also people simply won't notice them.
QRstuff.com says that the relationship between scan distance and minimum QR code size is roughly 10:1.
So a 2.5cm (one inch) QR code printed in a magazine will have a nominal effective scan distance of about 250mm (10 inches), and a QR code on a billboard 20m (65ft) from the where a passer-by would be scanning it would probably need to be about 2m (6.5ft) across.
5. Use a URL shortener
The more data you try to store in a QR code the smaller the dots become, which in turn means it's more difficult for smartphones to read them.
So in order to reduce the number of pixels and simplify your code it's best to use a URL shortener such as Goo.gl or bitly.
This should then make the scanning process smoother and reduce the number of users who can't access your content.
6. Tell users what they stand to benefit
Scanning a QR code is a bit of a chore, so consumers are highly unlikely to pull out their phone unless they know they're going to get something in return.
Therefore it's important that you give some information on what the QR code links to and, depending on who you're targeting, possibly instructions on how to download a QR code reader.
Instructions for scanning the code can be a simple call-to-action along the lines of: "Scan to get 2-for-1," or "Scan to read product reviews."
You need to entice the user, so make sure the content you are offering them is worth the effort.
7. Test it!
Seems obvious, but it's easy to assume that because the QR code worked when you created it in the office that it will work on your poster.
So once you've got your final product, make sure you test the QR code using different reader apps and smartphones from a range of angles and distances.
If you can't get it to work in perfect conditions then it's not going to work in a bus stop, and users will be extremely annoyed if their efforts to scan a QR code come to nought.
8. Track it
As with all new technologies, it's important to track how users interact with your QR codes so you can use the data to plan any future campaigns.
If you use Google Analytics you can create a custom campaign URL to track people who have scanned the QR code, or you can use bitly's tracking service.
However it should be noted that these shorteners can both be hacked relatively easily so third-parties can see your data, which is how we found out that 4,500 people scanned the QR codes on a TfL poster campaign.
To avoid these issues there are also a number of QR code services that both create the code and track the users, though these are likely to incur a cost.
Comments (5)
Yo David.
Thought I'd comment so I can add this example I snapped last night from my council recycling binbags.
Thought it was a good idea, but couldn't get it to scan, so not sure if printed correctly.
Great article on how to effectively use QR Codes. When it comes to placement as well as the generic appearance of the QR Code I do believe that all QR Codes should become Visual QR Codes. At Viusalead we have been thinking outside the square, literally.
The ability to turn any design itself into a QR Code and allow users to interact with designs and brands they know, trust and love instead of black and white squares will help bring the QR Code into mainstream mobile marketing.
Great post with excellent points! We would add a point of "make sure it gets noticed". . . we think the effectiveness of QR Codes is greatly increased by using custom QR Codes (we wrote a guide available at Amazon for this very purpose). For example, a call to action (e.g. Scan for Video), unique shape and color scheme that matches a business help potential customers notice a QR Code and tells them what they get when they scan it. There is a lot of misinformation out there on how to properly use QR Codes so they are scanned which is why we work hard to educate people on this important point. Posts like this one go a long way to get out the right information. THANKS. LegitQR.com
Great list.
Key for me is always: make the user journey exclusive. Remember that although QR codes are supposed to be used to give consumers more information about your brand, you ultimately need to offer them more information by scanning the code than they would get by simply reading your packaging or visiting your desktop website.. Giving consumers the same information through the QR code that they could already get elsewhere is ultimately a waste of a great opportunity. Therefore, when you decide to use QR codes in your marketing consider what exclusive content you will offer your consumers when they take out their phone, launch that QR Code Reader and scan – because there was a purpose for them to do so.
Just a thought.
Great article David. The NYC Worldpark QR Code project served as the inspiration and motivation for our city's Palm Coast QR Code project at Graham Swamp…Trek It Out! http://youtu.be/gOGHUIgh0fI
We're now expanding installations into our other parks. Feedback from residents, students and visitors to our area has been very positive…bringing education and increasing value to their outdoor experience. Thank you for the above tips!

A spokesman for Media Matters for America, which communicates directly with the White House in a weekly "strategy call," boasted in 2010 of President Obama's mistreatment of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a forum held by Al-Jazeera.
The Daily Caller has published a report linking Media Matters for America to the anti-American, anti-Israel news network Al-Jazeera, primarily through the work of author M.J. Rosenberg, who has come under fire from Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz for using antisemitic language and alleging that American Jews display greater loyalty to Israel than the United States. Jamie Weinstein writes:
Media Matters Action Network senior foreign policy fellow MJ Rosenberg's column for the liberal organization regularly appears on Al-Jazeera's website and, in 2010, Rosenberg represented Media Matters at a forum hosted by Al-Jazeera in Doha, Qatar where he praised the news outlet as "mainstream."
Media Matters Action Network is part of the organization's political arm.
According to two Daily Caller sources, the then-director general of Al-Jazeera, Wadah Khanfar, also visited Media Matters' offices in Washington in 2010 and met with the organization's two top leaders, David Brock and Eric Boehlert.
Representing Media Matters at the first Al-Jazeera "Unplugged" forum on social media at the Sheraton Hotel & Resort in Doha on May 22, 2010, Rosenberg explained that Khanfar invited him to the forum during a meeting in Washington earlier that year.
In his stunning speech at the forum, Rosenberg praised Al-Jazeera as a "mainstream network," bashed Fox News, suggested that the U.S. government intentionally bombed an Al-Jazeera bureau and expressed unreserved joy that President Obama was treating Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu so poorly.
Rosenberg expounded on the topic, claiming that the Obama Administration no longer considered America and Israel's relationship more special than with any other nation:
"When Netanyahu came to Washington, no president has ever treated an Israeli prime minister as coldly as Netanyahu was treated by Obama," Rosenberg said, with obvious joy, to what was presumably a largely Arab audience.
"Suddenly Israel today is, even though it gets what it wants to a certain extent, Israel is treated as another country, a foreign country, which makes it no different than all the other foreign countries. That is what Obama is trying to do: take Israel away from being the 51st state and make it a foreign country like Lebanon or France or any normal foreign country."
"He has done that," Rosenberg added. "You know, he has sent the Arab world signals from day one of where his heart is."
Rosenberg asserts that the President of the United States intentionally mistreated the Prime Minister of Israel to "send signals" to the Arab world. Since Rosenberg works for an organization that holds weekly "strategy calls" with the White House, it stands to reason that he may have been drawing upon insider information to make that claim.
It's unlikely that the mainstream media will follow up on this story and press Obama on his "signals" to the Arab world or his true feelings on Israel. But from this information alone, it's apparent that the president's closest allies are not in the pro-Israel–or pro-American–camp.

MILWAUKEE — Chris Young's start was somewhat encouraging for the Mets. Despite the three home runs.
Ryan Braun hit two home runs and rookie pitcher Wily Peralta gave up two singles in eight innings, as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the New York Mets 3-0. The reigning most valuable player now has a career-high and league-leading 40 homers, and 201 in his career. Milwaukee won for the 20th time in its last 26 games to remain 2½ games out of the second wild-card spot.
Young (4-8) threw 6 2-3 innings and allowed three runs and eight hits, as the Mets lost for the eighth time in nine games.
The flyball pitcher who rejoined the Mets in June following surgery on his right shoulder allowed his runs all on solo homers.
"He's a fly ball pitcher. If you get enough of the ball here, it's going to get out," New York manager Terry Collins said. "But he pitched well. He kept us in the game. Two hits isn't going to get us very far."
Young is 2-2 in eight starts since a winless July. He has struck out 67 and walked 33 this season since coming back June 5.
"From the time I had the surgery, I've worked hard to be here," Young said. "I didn't come back thinking I wouldn't make starts. I've taken care of myself. I feel like I continue to get stronger.
"It hasn't been an easy road. There's been a lot of challenges. I've had some bad luck and hopefully that's behind me. I had surgery that a lot of people thought I'd never come back from. I've pitched pretty well."
Peralta (2-0), struck out five and walked one in his third start, and got his first major league hit when he doubled in the seventh.
John Axford pitched the ninth for his 11th straight save and 29th overall.
Braun is the sixth Brewers player to reach 200 homers and seventh to reach 40 in a season. His homer to lead off the sixth was his 103rd run batted in of the year and gave Milwaukee a 3-0 lead.
"Individual accomplishments are always far more enjoyable when they come in the context of a team win, a meaningful win," Braun said. "We're in a position where every obviously every game is of the utmost importance. It's certainly easier to enjoy it when it comes on a day like this."
In the fourth, Braun also led off with a deep home run to right-center. Ramirez, the featured bobblehead giveaway at Miller Park, followed by smashing another long blast to left-center for a 2-0 lead.
"He's the best player I've ever played with," Ramirez said. "It's not just because of the homers. He does everything. He'll steal a base when he needs to, plays good defense and stays healthy."
That was more than enough Peralta, who led Milwaukee to its 19th victory in its last 22 home games. He stranded Josh Thole at second by getting Ruben Tejada to fly out in the third. In the sixth, Andres Torres led off with a single and took second on a sacrifice bunt by Young. Tejada fouled out and Daniel Murphy grounded out, however.
"I'm pretty excited about the way I've been pitching," Peralta said.
NOTES: Milwaukee broke its single-season strikeout record when Peralta struck out Lucas Duda in the second. The Brewers now have 1,262 strikeouts, which leads the NL. … Braun had 33 homers last year. . Young is 2-7 in his last 13 starts. . Milwaukee has at least one extra-base hit in its last 85 games. … On Monday, New York begins a 10-day homestand, its second-longest of the year. . Milwaukee first baseman Corey Hart has not played since he sprained his left ankle last Sunday.

The steel loops and blades are made from "knife quality" high carbon steel that has been heat treated and quenched in oil to give the blades maximum hardness and durability. Because high carbon steel takes and holds a sharper and longer lasting edge than stainless, these tools last much longer even when used with highly groged clays and plaster. Since the cutting loops are made from high carbon steel which can rust, we recommend that the tools be kept clean and dry when not in use. Use for pottery making and ceramic crafts.

LPL is making big changes among its top executives.
In the wake of Thursday's news of the departure of 20-year veteran Bill Dwyer, LPL Financial announced Friday that Institution Solutions President Robert Moore, 51, will assume Dwyers role as head of national sales.
Moore's expanded role includes the oversight of LPLs independent advisor, institutional and retirement business lines, as well as his existing responsibilities, LPL said in a statement. Moore will continue to lead several consultative teams and solutions that support LPL advisors as well as institutional customers. Moore joined LPL in 2008 from ABN AMRO North America and LaSalle Bank, where he served as CEO.
"I have known Robert my entire business career, Mark Casady, LPLs chairman and CEO, said in a statement. He is a dynamic leader with a deep knowledge of our business and a successful track record as our CFO and as the head of our Advisor and Institution Solutions business unit. I am pleased to have Robert's expertise and experience overseeing our businesses and integrating the development of growth strategies that will deepen our product solutions and services to our customers."
The company also announced the retirement of John McDermott, 56, managing director and the company's chief risk officer.
Dwyer, 55, is leaving in order to pursue other personal and professional interests, according to the LPL statement, and will become chairman of the Invest in Others Charitable Foundation later this year. Invest in Others, a nonprofit established through the leadership of LPL Financial in 2006, supports the philanthropic and volunteer activities of financial advisors in their local communities.
In his role as head of national sales, Dwyers responsibilities had included the recruitment of advisors. Before his departure, some had seen Moore and him as being in a two-man race to succeed Casady, age 52. My guess is Casady retires in a year and Moore becomes CEO, speculated Chip Roame, managing partner of Tiburon Advisors, on Thursday. He also cited Esther Stearns, head of LPLs new mass market venture NestWise, as a possible contender for the top spot.
Casady could not immediately be reached for comment.
Dwyer's compensation was $2.7 million in 2011, according to Morningstar; Moore's was $3.25 million.

The Standard and Poor 500 index tracks 500 major U.S. companies to provide an indicator of American economic and stock market performance, states Investopedia. Rather than using stock prices, the S&P is calculated using company market capitalization: The stock price multiplied by the number of shares.Continue Reading
Investors follow the S&P 500 to judge the performance of the American stock market, and many investors considered it more representative than the Dow Jones Industrial Average, states Investopedia. Nevertheless the Dow Jones remains the most quoted market indicator in the world, according to About.com. The Dow Jones Industrial Average tracks only 30 companies, giving it a much less comprehensive market overview compared to the 500 companies tracked by the S&P 500.
The S&P 500 is calculated using a formula that tracks only the market capitalization of publicly accessible company shares, explains Investopedia. This is especially useful for investors who want an indicator of actual daily trading. Companies must meet stringent rules to be included in the S&P 500, and the index managers have bumped major companies, such as U.S. Steel, for not meeting strict market capitalization numbers. Finance.Yahoo.com charts a full history of S&P 500 numbers back to 1950.
Some companies offer investment funds tied to the S&P 500, including the popular Vanguard 500 Index Fund and Standard & Poor's Depository Receipt Exchange Traded Fund, notes Investopedia. Investors use these funds to tie their money to the overall fortunes of the American stock market.Learn more about Investing

FormRouter upgrades Salesforce.com
Integration to support Intel's Mobile Forms initiative
CARY, N.C. -- FormRouter, Inc. announced today new options
for users to deploy off-line mobile forms. The new Mobile
Forms Technology (MFT), developed through a joint initiative
with Intel Corporation, allows mobile professionals to collect
data and submit forms while disconnected from the Internet.
Submitted forms are preserved in the mobile users MFM-Outbox
until an Internet connection is detected. Once connected,
offline form submissions are routed from the mobile desktop
to a remote database specified by the form designer/owner.
Submitted forms are preserved in the mobile users MFM-Sentbox
and may be edited, printed and/or re-submitted at a future
According to FormRouter CTO Jim Healy, "To support off-line
mobile forms we needed to combine Intel's mobile technology,
FormRouter's ASP service and Adobe's LiveCycle(TM) Reader(R)
Extensions into a single integrated solution. Mobile professionals
can now go off-line and continue to work with PDF and HTML
forms without worrying about Internet connectivity. Our integration
with salesforce.com allows any field on the form to be delivered
securely to the organization's salesforce.com account as soon
as an Internet connection is detected."
Chris Thomas, Chief Strategist for Intel, commented, "FormRouter's
ability to bundle low-cost Reader Extensions, a secure form
delivery service and real- time integration with salesforce.com
is unique. With the integration of Intel's mobile technology,
people can stay productive even when they are disconnected
from the Internet."
Building on the theme of "no programming required",
the technology upgrade allows non-technical users to rapidly
deploy a wide variety of "home-grown" forms that
are integrated with salesforce.com and Multiforce.com -- including
custom fields. As completed forms are submitted, the results
are securely posted in real-time to the form owner's salesforce.com
account. Some or all of the submitted data may be added to
email alerts and/or electronically delivered to a remote database
for backup and post analysis.
According to Healy, "This new capability should be
really attractive to users who don't have the means, time
or desire to work with the Sforce.com application programming
About Adobe(R) LiveCycle(TM) Reader(R) Extensions
Adobe(R) LiveCycle(TM) Reader(R) Extensions allows organizations
to unlock advanced forms-processing features within the free
and ubiquitous Acrobat(R) Reader software at no extra cost
to end users. When a rights-enabled PDF document is opened,
users can access advanced features such as digital signatures,
2D bar-coding, filling and submitting data electronically,
and offline save. Once the document is submitted or closed,
these special rights are disabled in Reader until the user
receives another rights-enabled PDF file.
FormRouter became the first service provider, licensed by
Adobe, to activate PDF usage rights as a for-fee service in
October 2004. In November 2005, FormRouter announced new subscription
options for LiveCycle(TM) Reader(R) Extensions starting at
under $125 per page.
About FormRouter
FormRouter's hosted service lowers cost, saves time and simplifies
the deployment of online forms. FormRouter subscribers can
deploy forms of all types in minutes with no servers and no
programming. Submissions are delivered securely to the form
owner's desktop and loaded directly into Microsoft Access(R),
SQL Server or any ODBC compliant database. Integrated alerts
support e-mail notification, PDF workflows, payment thru VeriSign(R)
and Authorize.Net(R) and salesforce.com integration. For more
information, visit http://www.FormRouter.com ..

Since that announcement (and a few "good riddance" posts from certain hack-turned-flacks), Apple has been searching for her replacement.Thanks to a Re/Code post, we learned they may have found their guy: Jay Carney, former press secretary for the Obama Administration.According to the report, the former Time Washington bureau chief and head flack for Joe Biden is the hottest name around for major PR gigs after he stepped down in May to be replaced by Josh Earnest.Uber has its headlights set on the guy for good reason: the company is currently in need of serious public relations and public affairs because of its fight against the deeply entrenched taxi industry. Incidentally, during an interview earlier in May, Uber CEO Travis Kalanick infamously called the company's opponent "an asshole named Taxi."As classy and appealing as the challenge may be, Apple could seem more enticing to Carney. But then he's never been a guy averse to conflict… Sharehttp://adweek.it/2karFwo copy Adweek Adweek

You are currently browsing the monthly archive for March 2011.
This past week we welcomed the first day of spring here in NYC. You wouldn't know it by looking at the weather which is still hovering somewhere in the 40 degree range, but it's true, its spring.
While some may follow Tennyson and believe that spring is meant to turn one's thoughts to love, I of course think of spring and ruminate on similarities between this time of year and establishment of successful employee programs. I know, it's so sad, I must have some sort of sickness – but then again, hear me out…
One of the predominant activities of springtime is gardening, and as every gardener knows the absolutely most essential element of a successful garden is healthy soil. And so it goes with people programs, if the ground you're planting your people program seeds in is essentially 'bad soil', you can't possibly expect anything to grow. Makes sense, right? Of course right. Now let's dig deeper (sorry, couldn't help it).
As I said, soil is arguably the most important component in a successful garden. Soil is generally evaluated on fertility and texture. Fertility is a combination of essential nutrients and a pH that makes these nutrients available to the plants. Texture refers to the size of the soil particles and their cohesiveness. So too an organizational culture can serve as the 'soil' for your people programs. It, like soil, also needs to be evaluated to see if anything can grow. While soil focuses on fertility and texture, you might want to evaluate your culture for engagement issues such as team cohesion and trust in management.
So how do you know if you have bad soil? The only way to know for sure is to have it tested. As in a garden, a quick guestimate of your soil's health can be made by looking at your plants (i.e. employees). If they are thriving, don't fix what isn't broken. If they are languishing, it would be worth testing your soil. Then focus on preparing the ground – aerate and provide nutrients to your cultural soil through ongoing communication, weed out issues that can poison the well water, and nurture and tend your culture on an ongoing basis…etc. I could find a dozen more analogies but you get the point.
The bottom line is plants won't grow in bad soil and neither will your people programs, and in truth, ultimately, neither will your employees. Take the time to create healthy soil and you'll be reaping the rewards of your garden before you know it.
Oh and remember, "Gardening requires lots of water – most of it in the form of perspiration." ~ Lou Erickson
Happy spring!

The Ohio Valley is the most productive farmland in the world. This has contributed to the strength and power of Chicago as the Corn Futures and Commodity capitol of the world. Without compromise, agricultural strength is depicted in this piece by the background of $10,000. bills. The artist uses rich abundance of vibrant colors to express the relationship of the corn plant to financial wealth.
