Authors Reveal Secret to Successful Innovation
Most innovations fail for one reason: people. Understanding people is the most critical, yet often overlooked, element of successful innovation. Most companies focus instead on the process, and this is where they fall short.
Many books have been written on the topic of innovation, but few (if any) have addressed how to successfully engage people throughout the process.
Until now. The Innovator's Advantage: Revealing the Hidden Connection Between People and Process (Aloha Publishing) bridges this gap, linking the science of talent assessments with the innovation process to give readers an easy-to-follow road map.
The Innovator's Advantage has transformed the innovation continuum, outlining the six stages of the process and giving algorithms to predict success. It provides both clarity and practical actions for creating your own innovation system.
Authors Dr. Evans Baiya and Ron Price, two of today's most respected thought leaders in areas of innovation and business strategy, have spent years working on successful innovations and witnessing many failed ones.
"People should be at the center of innovation," says Baiya. "Processes, tools, and systems are secondary."
In The Innovator's Advantage Baiya and Price reveal that the way people work and interact throughout innovation holds the key to success.
"Everyone can contribute to innovation if they understand their natural talents and proven skills—and are able to pursue it with a passion that is unique to them," says Price.
Whether you are an aspiring innovator, an early-stage entrepreneur, an executive, an investor, a leader of an incubator, or an innovation consultant, this book offers you a sure-footed path for starting, developing, and achieving sustainable innovation outcomes.
About the Authors
Dr. Evans Baiya is a scientist, consultant, author, and a speaker. He works with a number of startups, large global companies, academia, and governments on business strategy, product development, R&D/innovation programs, technology transfer and commercialization. He holds a PhD in engineering and technology development, an MBA, and postgraduate certification in business strategy and intellectual property from Harvard Business School.
Ron Price is an internationally recognized business advisor, executive coach, speaker, and author. Known for his creative and systematic thinking, business versatility, and practical optimism, Ron has served in almost every level of executive management over the past 45 years. As the former president of a multimillion-dollar multi-national company, Ron understands the challenges and risks of running a business and building a dynamic team. He works shoulder-to-shoulder with executive leadership teams to bring strategic clarity and transformational results to organizations—especially those dealing with turmoil and transition.
Praise for The Innovator's Advantage
The Innovator's Advantage takes an ambitious path to link the innovation process with the talents and passions of employees. I highly recommend this book to any leader looking to maximize the right skillsets for the different phases of the innovation process.
Hal Whiting Ph.D., Program Manager – Executive Coaching and Assessment, Hewlett Packard Enterprise
Amidst the many books on innovation Baiya and Price have captured the core elements of this art and science. Best of all, they address the critical role of the team and how teams, carefully designed, drive real innovation.
Jeff Sayer, Former Director – Department of Commerce, State of Idaho
Why do our innovation efforts fail, and what do we need to do differently? Authors Baiya and Price take this question head on and offer a framework for approaching innovation that will translate to the Innovator's Advantage. As in most everything I deal with – it is about people and process. Every business leader, aspiring innovator, and entrepreneur will want to read this book.
David C. Pate, M.D. J.D., President and CEO, St. Luke's Health System
The book lays out practical logical steps for a successful innovation process and the requirements for each of those steps and clearly shows the importance of engaging the relevant people and skills for each step of innovation process and the specific skills required for each step.
Prof. Lucy W. Irungu, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, University of Nairobi

What Makes Someone Truly Wise?
For Aristotle, it is that they can see the "truth in concrete things":
Hence, we must ask the spoudaios, who differs from other men in that he sees "truth in concrete things" (hekastois), for he is, as it were, their standard and measure (kanon kai metron) (NE 1113a34)–a principle of method to which our "empirical" social scientists should pay heed.Neither Aristotle, nor Voegelin, nor I, were / are against abstraction, which can be very useful. Doing something like a statistical study of economic conditions prior to revolutions might prove interesting. But knowledge of the abstract is inferior to and derivative of knowledge of the concrete.
The passages dealing with the spoudaios show very clearly that Aristotle cannot view what is right by nature as a natural law, a set of eternal, immutable propositions, because the truth of a concrete action cannot be determined by its subsumption under a general principle, but only by questioning the spoudaios.

The University Planning and Resources Committee has approved the Full Case for the new Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology Building in West Cambridge. The University has now committed the funding for this project. The building is designed by BDP Architects and will provide state of the art facilities for the whole Department under one roof. The site lies to the south of Charles Babbage avenue between the Institute for Manufacturing and the Department of Materials Science, with views over the new sports centre and the countryside beyond. The building includes facilities for Biological, Physical and Chemical Research. Dedicated spaces are provided for the Magnetic Resonance Research centre and the Laser Analytics Group. All the teaching at both undergraduate and Masters level will be housed in the building, as well as the social spaces.
We aim to start construction in Summer 2013 and the building should be operational for the start of the new academic year in October 2015.

Disrupt Worldwide Scam?
After the end of WakeUpNow in the United States, it was inevitable that something new would be created to take its place. Many of the key players from the WakeUpNow scam have something "new" for you. The scam cycle begins again. You can expect hype that outperforms all other hype before it.
The things that are about to happen…..I honestly don't think you guys are ready for it. – Eric Turner (Seemore Green)
Who wants to actually make money for taking selfies, making videos, take pics of food, and have people from all walks of life talk about your business subliminally or directly? Who wants to have fun with people you can relate to and not be forced to be around people who otherwise you'd never hang with in person if it wasn't for making money (or attempting to make money) in the same circle, Raise your hand or say "Disruptia" – Gregory Perdriel (Kashiz King IV)
I always enjoy the nicknames these guys have.
Some of the other people involved with Disrupt are: Former WakeUpNow President Jason Elrod, Rea Nichols, Daryl Kingston Djuan, Gustavo Zapz, Chaycen Green, Antonio Unemployable Johnson, Fluent Cash Flow, and Justin Hoffman.
A teaser video has been created that tells you nothing about the business.
The clown buses have been ad wrapped and are rolling across the country.
The compensation plan is being leaked and it looks like every other product-based pyramid scheme in the world.
Soon you will have a chance to part with your money. Will you let them Disrupt your bank account?
In my opinion, you should save your money until this company can prove that they really do offer competitive and valuable products that can be sold. Don't make the same mistakes that were made with WakeUpNow and join another endless chain recruiting scam. Don't board a hype train to nowhere.
I will keep you updated as the Disrupt story unfolds.

Well everything that Dave said is 100% true. It's free to join but cost money to play the game. Sure you can buy the 129.95 kit but you do have to spend more money to upgrade. MLM is a difficult business to sell , unless you already have a following of people who are willing to do whatever you tell them to do. You just wave money in their faces tell them that they can have that too.GD Star Rating

I am a member of disrupt, Its an over hyped over priced company . They want more money than wake up now 129.95 Plus shipping 19.00. Its all the same. Its a cult really if you think about it, First you join for 109 or 129 depending on your package. After you get in you find out you have to buy the 60 dollar kit to activate the vacation club, Then your pressured to upgrade the back office another 30 dollars . Then there is dvd's to buy t shirts cause you have to Go ALL IN as they say. They encourage you to keep plugged in because if you take a few steps back and take a good long look you will see its all smoke and mirrors. Real example 1 another team member wanted to go on vacation and they looked into the travel club it was higher than almost all the other travel agency's . Real example 2 If you read the fine print all your legs/matrix lines must be EQUAL or you don't advance in earning. team member had 35 people and made 200 dollars because you have to babysit all 35 people to keep paying so you can make your monthly number….Try to sell that to someone it sucks, i tried many times i lost a lot of good friends and some family members don't want to pick up the phone when i call them…you could save 200 per month and put it into a bank acct and you will make more…that's my honest opinion. Needless to say i will be stopping my subscription i think i learned a valuable lesson. I am writing this so people don't make the same mistake i made….Its 100% cult/scamGD Star Rating

You are 100% correct in your article but let me fill in some blanks for you. Additional key WUN people involved in Disrupt:
Stacy Polich: wife of WUN CEO Phil Polich and Disrupt's main investor.
Andy Benis: former WUN VP of Sales and only member of the Disrupt team that graduated college.
Jordan Harris: former CMO of WUN and mastermind behind Disrupt.
Jerry Elrod: Jason Elrod's father and COO of Disrupt
Jake Polich, Noah Epps, and Heath Perkins (all mid level former WUN employees now at Disrupt)
Products/Vendors that were the same at WUN and now at Disrupt:
-MX (MoneyDesktop)
-Hemisphere Travel
-Transparent Language
The only excluded products are Invisus (WUN Protect) and Access Development (WUN Local).
This group has to be the most unethical scammers in the industry today. Not only do they continue to perpetrate a fraud on the public that begin at WUN but they actually had the arrogance to promote prior to the Disrupt launch that this would be a company unlike any other. I guess they forgot the disclaimer "besides Wake Up Now".
And a btw, the reason they are doing ACH for payments and claiming it to be an industry first… they got booted from their merchant account, they don't care about your financial well being and if you rack up credit card debt on their products, they just can't charge your cc.

So this is what Fake Up Now mutated into! "Disrupt"?! Really? Wow! These scam company names are as funny as the nicknames of the scammers themselves! The reason why these scammers and shills get pissed about these "opinion" reviews is that they throw back the curtain on their shading schemes.
MLM shills working the scheme are really saying: "Hey, I'm trying to scam people out of their money! Stop saying it's a scam, so I can take their money!" These bums are driven by a greed that they cannot control, hen they have the nerve to call people with a J.O.B. "lazy".
Only a lazy lie scammer thinks he can go on vacations and do nothing, and still get paid. Even billionaires don't do what these jakes do! Does Warren Buffet make YouTube videos about his possessions, telling you to join his business ventures? Does Bill Gates pose in selfies with money in his mouth?

If everyone saw the opportunity there would be no opportunity. I love the company I am in. Backed by real science and real people. Started out as spare cash income while I was working 9-5 and going to college full time. It's turned into something much more and I am happy knowing that, with my own family starting, I can work from home and I am going to use my psychology degree in my local church to help others because I want to. There are good companies out there…there's also a lot of bad ones. Do your research. Look at the comp plans and pay attention to products! Can it be replicated and duplicated? Is it another "me too" product. Does the business run on just recruiting(if so, run away!) or are customers involved. Just be smart 🙂 Disrupt has a lot of red flags for me right now…it could be good. But they have a lot to prove for sure.GD Star Rating

I completed the groundwork of my bodywork education in 2006 at Hawaii Healing Arts College on Oahu.
The six hundred hours of Swedish foundation and twenty-four hours of Lomi-Lomi introduction fit in wonderfully as I earned my Bachelor's in Psychology and became a practicing Reiki Master.
I have since added to my education with a five hour course in Deep Tissue Techniques, a four hour course in Forearm Injury Management, and thirty-two hours of training in the healing art of Qi Gong.
I believe that kind, caring touch is a fundamental ingredient for wellness on all levels.
I believe that suppressed emotions and constant negative thoughts interrupt the body's natural energy flow, and this can lead to tension, discomfort, and disease.
I also believe there is a lot more to it.
In my own life, I find it essential to keep learning, to speak honestly, to stand up for what I believe in, to teach what I have learned (so far) to those who ask, and to maintain my health and that of our planet as best I can.

Commentary, first mode of elaboration, before inquiry, people just rapping in caves.
In feelings of and for total loss, the fullness of maturity mauled and harassed me. In my marriage and with my mother, there was truly no celebration of my imaginary self, still caterwauling in the way-behind.
The subways could be anywhere because a state of unhearingness prevails there, unless there is an emergency and people begin to speak.
From the Old French comment and before that the Latin for "invention, contrivance, enthymeme." Speech from or with mens: Speech that has wishes, wishing to be more than sound; that non-talk for which the poetic so painfully hopes.
Also, commend. I commend to you a period of abstinence. Preferably from drink. I eked out the most moderate drunkenness for many lonely days. I poured thimblefuls of white wine and still staggered under the same motherfucker of a headache. My liver was tender, very tender. I wanted to say, "The principle of this body is to put out. Invagination is a cosmic scam!"
You have a complicated way of speaking.
This chicken store was not yet operational. Its nice grey sign attempted a ridiculous balance between [come hither] and [it doesn't so much matter whether you come or not]. I know what a chicken is, though. What is that talent called, with fonts? Because fried chicken is a wholesome snack, I command you:
Hot Bird. Hot Bird. Hot Bird. Every few miles on the circuit: one need not starve to death this evening. Lemon yellow and red, yolk and hen, rolled in red dirt.
My relationship to chicken is uncomplicated.
Your sentences trail off into muttering when your nerves get the better of you. Your thigh becomes frantic, your palm presses down on it as if in secret, but everyone can see your thigh, which is not connected to your palm, but to your hip and the ball of your foot. Eyeballs, tongue, your whole leg kicks out against the piece you would say. I see how patience is a kind of caress. Let history be borne out in stutters, in mania and grappling.
Awash in delay forever, I had wished for it, and made it so. What was true was also filthy, was surgical. I had the fingers for it.

I found the most fabulous crafty blog. My favorite project so far has been the paper horses.
Ann Wood decorates them fabulously – with lace, feathers, paint, and all sorts of other media.
Around here, we concentrate on markers and crayons.
Grace isn't quite sure about coloring inside the lines.
Even after I explained that we'd be cutting the pieces out.
Even after I skillfully modeled how to color inside the lines of the mane.
This iss my other horse over here!
I guess we're still in between the random scribbling phase and the coloring in the shapes phase.
When she was all done coloring, I used a small hole punch to put holes in the legs and the body.
I have lots of eyelets and brads in my my scrapbooking supplies. I thought the flowers would be nice, so I used them to attach the legs to the body.
Ann Wood's may have a lot of horses, but I think mine is the best one.

Cape Town – The hit show Peaky Blinders returns for a third season on BBC First (DStv 119).
Thomas Shelby (Cillian Murphy) is drawn into a maze of global intrigue in the electrifying new season of Steven Knight's acclaimed family saga.
Approached by a secret organisation on his own wedding day, Tommy finds himself at the centre of an international arms deal that could change the course of history.
His legal and illegal businesses have made him rich beyond his dreams. He now inhabits a Roaring Twenties world of beautiful people and sumptuous mansions, and he has found love at last. But Tommy's relatives have become increasingly difficult to handle, and threaten to blow the Shelby family apart.
Aunt Polly (Helen McCrory) is Tommy's second-in-command, the person he most trusts with the secrets and ambitions of the family business. But the return of her son Michael to the fold has made Polly uneasy about the company's illegal enterprises. When she befriends a member of the upper classes, Polly imagines different possibilities for her future, and begins to ask herself questions that could strike at the very heart of the Peaky Blinders.
McCrory sat down for a quick Q&A about her character and what to expect in the new season.
Where did we leave off with Polly in series two and how do we find her in series three?
We left Polly in series two having been reunited with the son that had been taken from her when he was young. She understandably feels hugely guilty about her past and wants to defend him with everything she has. Campbell, played by Sam Neill, sees this weakness in her and uses it to humiliate her, compromising herself in order to save her son. Polly is further humiliated by the fact that her son and everyone else knows what she has done and so she does what Peaky Blinders do and she kills Campbell.
How does Polly reconcile her actions in series two with her conscience?
At the beginning of the third series you find a woman that, as a Catholic, is damned as a murderer. This series explores what happens to Polly's soul and her mind as she carries the knowledge that she has killed a man. It is interest to see how she battles with her conscience while still being part of this world that continues to be involved in killing.
How did you feel when you read these series three scripts and what Steven had in store for Polly?
My first reaction on reading this series is that it is the best Steven has written. The Peaky Blinders have expanded. They've got more money and therefore they have moved into the upper echelons of British society. It is a fantastic opportunity for Steven to write about how the working classes rubbed shoulders with the aristocracy of the country. This is post First World War and the whole fabric of Britain was being challenged. Within the first fifteen minutes of this series we see both sides of this coming face to face with the tension that was rife in Britain at that time. We also explore what happens when you make that kind of money, you move up in the world but everyone knows where you are from and nobody will let you forget it, that's the tension that kicks off the series. The Peaky Blinders have moved into a different location and a different world but you have people that cannot escape their background, or can they? That's the questions Steven poses.
How would you describe Polly's position in the family?
Polly is the matriarch of the family and she's the treasurer of the Shelby Company, which I think it important. She is the one that oversees all the accounts so she knows everything that is going on, every deal. She watches the family and can see who is coping in this new world and who is not. It starts to splinter the family and the situation becomes very much sink or swim, with Polly definitely swimming. Right from the beginning Polly tries to work out how she is going to assimilate herself within this new world and how she is going to succeed and take the entire family along with her. Polly becomes much more focused on the family's success in this series.
Describe the complex relationship between Polly and her son, Michael?
I think as soon as Polly is reunited with Michael she sees him as the natural successor to Tommy, and nurtures him as such. However, Polly is adamant that Michael is not to become involved in the murkier side of the Peaky Blinders dealings. The tension arises when it becomes clear that Michael has very different ideas. Polly is definitely the woman behind the son and she pushed him forward constantly. She is very protective of him and is the original Birmingham tiger mum of the 1920s.
The family business aside, what is Polly's view of Tommy?
It's hard to separate family from business because Tommy and Polly think the two are intertwined. Polly feels that Tommy runs the business very well and gets frustrated if she sees him take any steps towards the illegal or gangster related crime. She wants to make sure the family's hands are clean. Tommy is the person that she is most honest with and there is a real sense of them working the future out together in this series.
Campbell robbed Polly of her femininity and independence during series two. How has she rebuilt herself?
Campbell does indeed strip Polly of her femininity and independence in the last series and you feel that when you meet her in this series, she feels damned. She is closed up and doesn't want to talk about her actions. She has built a wall around her. As series three progresses Polly tries to move forward from her horrendous experience.
Polly is the driving force behind the women going out on strike. Is this an early indication of where we see the character of Polly heading?
The women of the show and Polly's position is interesting as although they have positions of power within the company, they do not have the same freedom or rewards as the men have. Polly does go out on strike with the other women and goes on the march to see what the feminists of that time are discussing. I think that the characters in this drama would have felt an inequality when it came to the business side of things. Polly does adopt masculine traits in order to communicate with the men so that is the way she copes with being a woman in a man's world. She was one of those women of that time – strong and intelligent because she had to be in order to survive.
Describe how Polly's style has evolved over the years?
There is a huge shift from the last series to this series in the way that we are all styled and dressed. The biggest change for Polly is that they cut all my hair and I was really nervous about that. The shapes of the costumes have changed dramatically as you lose the waist in the 1920s. I think that the audience will accept the change as they do with other long running series where the style changes across a time period.
Peaky Blinders has a strong fan following. Have you ever been surprised that you are recognised for your work in this particular show?
I was genuinely surprised that Peaky Blinders was so popular in America. I went over to New York for the summer and people were complimenting my work. I assumed that it was in relation to another series I'd recently finished that had aired in the US. After a while someone mentioned they had to watch it with subtitles, which is when I realised it was Peaky they were talking about. I've also had fellow actors and producers and directs say that they are really big fans, which is so pleasing as everyone works very hard on the series to try and make something original and fresh.
Has there been a particular scene you have enjoyed filming or location that you have enjoyed filming in?
We filmed in a place called Arley Hall; a beautiful house that we open the series on at Tommy's wedding. Steven wrote these amazing scenes where you have one side of the church congregation all suited and booted and then the other side the gypsy families of the Peaky Blinders facing them for the service. There are some really tense scenes between the two families. Steven wrote this series beginning with the shortest day of the year, in the heart of winter, and finishes the series in the summer, on the longest day of the year.
What do you think attracts people to the series and keeps them wanting more?
We are used to British television exploring the upper echelons of society but not so used to watching it explore the below stairs as much, and the Peaky Blinders are not even that; they are the below, below stairs. In fact they're underground really. I think it's interesting to see how people simply struggled to live in Britain at that time. If they were born now Tommy and Polly wouldn't be the criminals they are in the 1920s because they have the brains to get out. It's compelling to watch people that have the passion to try and improve their situation, however bleak that might be. Despite the awful things the Peaky Blinder get up to, you realise that there are few alternative open to them. They pick themselves up and starts again so I think that the energy these character have, dragging themselves up from the gutter of Birmingham is something we haven't seen before.

The attorney general's office said alternate legislative maps suggested by black legislators show that Alabama lawmakers made proper choices in drawing new district lines.
State lawyers in a November court filing criticized the alternate maps as "bizarre" as the two sides continued a legal back-and-forth over the state's legislative lines.
Black members of the Alabama Legislature filed a federal lawsuit saying the GOP-controlled Alabama Legislature segregated and "stacked" black voters into designated districts, preventing them from influencing elections elsewhere. State Republicans said the lines, which were approved by the U.S Department of Justice, were fairly drawn so that districts were equally sized and varied in population by plus or minus 1 percent.
A three-judge panel asked the plaintiffs to try their hand at their own map without increasing the variance in district population size. Attorneys for the state argued the rival plan linked unlike communities.
"While Plaintiffs' plans fall within (plus or minus 1 percent) and while some of the black-majority districts in their plans have lower black majorities, they could not reach that result without bizarre districts and retrogression to reach that point," lawyers for the attorney general's office wrote.
The case is back before a three-judge panel after the U.S Supreme Court sent it back for additional review.
Lawyers for black lawmakers in a Monday court filing said the state's current districts were drawn to hit "unlawful racial targets."
If the map is tossed, the state will have to draw new lines and hold new elections.

The Boston Bruins couldn't figure out Jimmy Howard during 60 minutes of play in Game 1, as the goaltender's shutout performance lifted the Detroit Red Wings to a 1-0 win. It didn't take Bruins forward Justin Florek nearly as long to solve Howard on Sunday afternoon.
Early in the first period, the Red Wings dumped the puck back into their own zone to get some fresh bodies on the ice. Howard came out to play the puck and dished it to Red Wings defenseman Brendan Smith, but there was some miscommunication between the two. Howard's pass bounced off the skate of Smith and found the only Bruin anywhere near the puck — Florek.
The rookie, who was hustling to chase down the loose puck, took advantage of the turnover and sniped it past a sprawling Howard to give the Bruins a one-goal lead.
Florek, who is playing because of injuries to Daniel Paille and Chris Kelly, played in just four games with the Bruins this season. It was his first career Stanley Cup playoff goal.
Check it out in the video below.

While Arkansas's U.S. Senators have roundly condemned white nationalists that rallied and rioted in Virginia this weekend, some members of the Arkansas Legislature are equating Nazis and Ku Klux Klansmen with Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ activists.
On Wednesday morning State Representative Bob Ballinger tweeted:
#WhiteNationalists, #BLM, #KKK, #Natzis, #Antifa, etc, all spew hate and violence. Reject them and their hateful ideologies. #DividedWeFall https://t.co/P0fIp33sbb
— Bob Ballinger (@Bob_Ballinger) August 16, 2017
The Republican out of Hindsville in Madison County was hardly alone in his sentiment. His colleague in the upper chamber, Senator Jason Rapert chimed in earlier in the week on Facebook.
Prior to that the Republican from Bigelow made a direct comparison between Nazis and those supporting equal rights for lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender, and queer individuals. Rapert, on Facebook, was referencing a case with a florist and not Charlottesville.
"The LGBT activists who behave as Nazis are trying to ruin anyone who "disagrees" with them - even grandmothers. Simply believing in the Bible is offensive to these activists. They can't stand it if you disagree. They demand full compliance with their diminished morality. They clearly behave just like the "brown shirts" and "SS" troops that Nazis used to destroy Jews and anyone who disagreed with the Nazi ideology."
The Republican Party in Arkansas, which controls super majorities in both legislative chambers, certainly has a range of responses.
Senate Majority Leader Jim Hendren helped lead the charge on a successful bid to separate Robert E. Lee Day from Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. He tangentially commented on Charlottesville on Wednesday. Hendren and Democratic State Senator Joyce Elliott had wanted the Legislature to consider how to improve race relations.

Hi and welcome to my Blog, my name is Paul Riddle and I live in south Leicestershire, UK. Back in August 2007 my quest began to locate as many local Little Owl territories as possible. The driving force was a reported decline in the uk numbers so I thought I would do my bit and conduct a study in my area. After 7 years and countless hours out in the field I have detected over 200 different sites. With a thirst for a greater understanding of the owls a more comprehensive monitoring and nest box programme then commenced. This also now includes monitoring the local and very sparse population of Barn Owls, please pop back occasionally and catch up with the life and times of my owls and any other wildlife that I come across. I hope you enjoy your visit!!!

Wow......In Print!!!!!
I have just had this months edition of Bird Watching magazine delivered, I feel quite honoured that they have a two page article on my Little Owl study accompanied with a few of my images.
Hopefully it will encourage a few brit birders to get out there and look for their own local Little Owls.
Go find em guys!!!!!!!!

More breeding success.
I have a number of Little Owl breeding sites this year where so far I have only managed to confirmed 1 juvenile, I'm sure a few re-visits to these sites will throw up a few more juveniles and get the overall tally ticking over, it is just a case of putting in more time and having a bit of luck that they show.
For this reason I re-visited Fleckney tonight to again check out site No 19, after a good hour stake out it proved fruitless in terms of more juveniles, the tally at this site still remains at 1 for this year, however both adult birds were located roosting in the nest tree and offered some nice photo opportunities in between the showers.
Adult No 1
Adult No 2
Not wanting to waste too much time at just one location I moved on down the road to check out a potential new site near to Wistow. My mate Nigel thought he saw a Little Owl here a few months ago in a roadside tree so what had I got to lose, I had to go and investigate! I parked up where I thought it looked "owly" and waited. During the hour I was there I heard a Little Owl call on several occasions, but no sightings! I'm not going to give this site the honour of being my 111th site............just yet!!!!! I will re-visit very soon and with a bit of luck will make a sighting and then I will spend some time observing the birds habits and movements, this should then enable me to locate the nest tree and maybe............juveniles!!!!
I have another Little Owl site (No 97) not far from where I found myself so it was off to investigate that further, there is a pair of adults here and I have seen them on many occasions but sadly no breeding evidence this year........so far!
I pulled up next to the nest site and after a half an hours wait an adult bird showed right at the very top of the nest tree. After a while it swooped down into an adjacent field and caught a vole. It flew back with the vole and disappeared in the nest tree, the next thing there was a right commotion .........it was feeding its chicks!
It wasn't long before the greedy little blighters wanted more and showed themselves on the outer limbs of the tree..........and there was three of them!!!!!
Juveniles No 1 & 2.
Juvenile No 3.
What a result, tonight's observations have pushed this years juvenile tally up nicely to 59 from 28 sites.

Late Starters?
I re-visited site No 11 at Claybrook Magna this evening, although it is getting on in the breeding season I had a hunch that there could still be some late chicks yet to emerge at this site............and there was!!!!
After a short wait one of the adult owls was located sitting at the entrance to the nest location (a barn window), I managed some images (in terms of Little Owls that is) that I'd never achieved before, a natural solid black background, I like it as well, a little different?
I am undecided on which works best though, portrait or landscape? So I uploaded both of them!!!!!
As usual double click on any image for a larger more detailed version.
Or Landscape??
Then I heard what I'd come for, the hissing of a Little Owl chick, it was coming from a nearby tree so without further ado I investigated. A single juvenile was soon found huddling up against the tree trunk. Taking images proved quite a problem, loads of branches in the way and to compound that low light levels too. Thank goodness I had my tripod with me to steady the lens as the shutter speeds were as low as 1/40th of a second.
Whilst taking these images a second juvenile was heard "hissing" but I failed in to locate it, nevertheless another two more to add to this years tally.............which now stands at 56 at 27 different sites.
On my way back I purposely went past site No 64 at Leire, I was really hoping for some more late showing juveniles at this site too! Both adults were again located in what seems to be their favourite tree, but no signs of any juveniles.
I must make an effort to get to this site earlier next time, I think I will then be able to obtain some better images in the light!
Whilst I was attempting to improve on my images I witnessed something that took me totally by surprise, it also answered the question on why there has been no evidence of chicks this year.......... they have only just started mating!!!!!
Are these owls very late starters or could they be having a second clutch? I think the latter is unlikely as second clutches for Little Owls are very very rare!

Today just seemed to be totally devoid of owls, I was owl n about for around 7 hrs and must have visited over 20 different sites. In total 4 owls were seen at 3 sites and one of those was just a fleeting glimpse...........just what is going on????
Anyhow, as it was a pretty uneventful day and I have nothing much more to say so I'll just leave you with a few images of three of the birds that did show!
As usual, double click on any image for a more detailed and larger version.

54 and rising!
Tonight I returned to my new site 108 at Gilmorton, I was attempting to capture my first images of the resident owls, whilst there I also wanted to try and identify the nest site and also if there had been any breeding success this year..........I was triumphant on all three counts.
After I'd parked up within the vicinity of where I saw an owl on my last visit I immediately heard the distinctive "hissing" of a begging juvenile. The sound was coming from a very large wooden shed/workshop, I surveyed it for any potential nest entrances when an adult owl exited out of a tiny cavity in the apex of the roof.
Not the best of images but my first of an owl from this site.
The juvenile then put in its first appearance, it had a quick peek at me before it disappeared, it wasn't seen or heard again whilst I was there. Good news though, breeding confirmation at another site this year.
I then moved on down the road to re-visit another new owl location that was also in Gilmorton, site No 109. A single bird showed tonight but it was quite late and the light had almost but gone, sadly no evidence of any breeding success was evident.
I have now recorded a minimum of 54 juveniles at 26 different sites so far this year.

Cardinal Sin!
Tonight I decided to stake out site 79 at Peatling Magna, the intention was two fold, firstly I have never managed an image of an owl from this site, and secondly it needed checking out for any breeding success.
The Landrover was positioned at 7.15pm, the light was good for images and there was plenty of attractive "owl like" posts for them to land on, all that was needed now was some owls!!
After a 2 hour wait they finally emerged from their nest hole, by now the light was pretty poor but I'm not complaining, I got my first ever image, and a pair too!
The first bird then dropped down onto one of the further away posts and posed nicely, a few more images were in the can.
Then the second bird dropped down a little nearer to me and onto a post with some old string wrapped around it, again it posed nicely whilst I took a few images.
Not being completely satisfied with the images (too far away) I decided to chance my arm and get a little closer. The Landrover was started....the owl didn't move, I drove a lot nearer and then manoeuvred into position....the owl didn't move, I fumbled around and made more noise than I'd wanted to....the owl didn't move. Blimey my luck was in tonight, this was one confiding owl, I couldn't believe how close I was. I framed the bird, waited a few seconds for it to turn and look straight down the lens and then nothing? WHAT!!!!!! Oh my god a flat battery........what a pillock, a fantastic opportunity gone! I didn't bring my spares with me, a lesson learnt and I will never, never do that again.
Oh by the way no chicks were either seen or heard.

In the Gutter
Pheeeewwww, what a Sunday evening I had! Loads of owls seen and heard, in fact too many to recall actually, but here are just a few extracts from a very productive few hours.
Cross Eyed!
I have a Little Owl territory over at Leire, site No 63 and I just haven't visited since last year! I don't know why it has been so long but nevertheless I was there on Sunday. In the breeding season of 2009 I recorded 1 juvenile here but funny enough I have never seen any adult birds......ever!!! (maybe because I don't visit enough?). Anyhow, this is a superb location in an old orchard, I made my way to the far corner and settled down in the shade of an apple tree, this gave me a good vantage point of the whole area and as it was completely saturated in sunshine seeing something shouldn't be too difficult?
I'd been sitting quietly for around 10 minutes when I caught a glimpse of an owl, and would you believe it, an adult!! Although a little distant a did manage an image, it moved around from tree to tree but didn't come any closer. I then pursued it through the orchard and managed a few more images, although all of them were pretty poor! I then heard the distinct hissing of a juvenile, as much as I tried I just couldn't locate it, but what it did prove was there was a breeding pair here and another success for this years records.
It wasn't until I was reviewing my images that I realised this owl was cross eyed, and it wasn't just a one off, I have reviewed every image I took and in them all the eyes are the same! Here is a heavily cropped section from one of the images, I know its very poor quality but it does show, the "strange eyes"!!!
New site 110!
Another notable visit was the one to site No 54 at Broughton Astley, sadly nothing at all showing here although the local resident said she had seen the owls recently but no juveniles........as yet!. Not being perturbed I set off on a back lane along the side of the fields that run away from site No 54, three or fields in I came across a disused barn, and low and behold what did I see sitting on the roof? You've guessed it a Little Owl!!
The owl can be seen on the right hand side of the apex.
To get a better, closer look I manoeuvred the landrover to the bottom of the field, still a long way but near enough for me to confirm that what I was looking at was indeed a juvenile! Not only was it new site 110 but a breeding site too!
Same bird, different angle.
In The Gutter!
My planned final location of the night was at Claybrook Magna and site No 11, a pair had been seen here on many occasions but the nesting site had yet to be confirmed. My suspicions where heavily in favour of the old barn, so this is where I parked up and waited. I was keeping a watchful eye on the entrance to the hayloft, after a while this came up trumps as a bird came from nowhere and flew straight in!
Hissing chicks could now be heard, the owl had taken in food for its young. Judging by the racket they were making it sounded like there was a number of them as well. Two minutes later the adult popped its head out of the hayloft window.
Before flying off in search of more food he checked that the coast was clear, he then looked straight at me, oh no had I been too noisy, he had sussed me out?
Apparently not, he hopped out onto the piece of hose pipe that was protruding from the wall.
From the hose pipe he dropped down onto the wall, how close was he going to come?
It was here he sat for an hour, doing absolutely nothing! Then the sun broke through the cloud cover and offered this chance of a late evening glow image, it was difficult light to get the exposure right........ not sure if this images works or not?
I think the late sun kicked started him back into action as he suddenly flew straight at and over me. Move manoeuvring of the Landrover found him sitting in the gutter of one of the industrial units, here he sat for another 10 minutes.
He was by now moving into another long period of inactivity so it was time to go, I was just pulling away when a second bird showed, it too had been feeding the chicks, the chick numbers are as yet unknown but I will be back soon to hopefully get some confirmation and images.
And finally, and totally unplanned more Little owls. This image is from site No 64 at Leire. It was very late and almost dark, 9.55pm to be exact I was driving by this site and spotted a pair of adult birds sitting in a tree. I had to give it a go as this is my very first owl image from this site.
An excellent and very productive evening, a new site, three more confirmed breeding locations.....I wonder what Monday night will produce???????.................Bring it on!!!!!!!!!!

Chick Checking!
Saturday morning found me "owl 'n' about" again, accompanied by my good mate, Nigel Spencer, he had come along for the day to seize upon any photo opportunities that may arise during my rounds. Again, my main itinerary was to check out more little Owls sites to see if there had been any more juveniles emerging from the nests.
Time is really against me now as most juveniles should have fledged and locating them becomes harder and harder. My tally for this year has already outweighed last year (which is good news in itself) however I feel it could have been much higher if I'd of had the time to get around and monitor all of my local sites, let alone the further afield ones!!!
The day wasn't going too good and we hadn't seen much until that is we arrived at a location near to site 104 at South Wigston. The local farmer had recently cut the hay in a field which now allowed access to a previous "no go area". I wanted to follow this area up as a previous visit had shown signs of Little Owl activity (pellets). As we drove around the perimeter we neared the suspect area and Nigel spotted an owl sitting out on a limb. I shunted the Landrover back and forth until I was in a position to take a record shot of the bird.
Not sure if this bird was from the nearby site 104, or could it be a new location and site 110? Only time and further investigations will reveal all but for now it will be site 104!
A record shot of the adult owl at site 104......or maybe site 110?????
I then panned the adjacent trees with my binoculars and BINGO, a juvenile was there too!!! Sadly not the best of images but another juvenile for this years tally. We hung around for a while but no second adult bird or any more juveniles were seen.
More breeding success, juvenile at site 104 (110?).
The other bit of juvenile success from the day was at site 21 at Willoughby Waterleys, a single bird was seen at very close quarters flying away from the nest site, sadly now image was possible.
We also visited Site 68 at Peatling Magna, here I located one of the three (of this years already recorded) juveniles hiding in the nest tree.
Site 68, coming out of hiding!
During the day we also visited site 22 at Willoughby Waterleys, I wasn't able to get any images of the 2 juveniles owls that were showing but after I dropped Nigel off I popped back to have another go.
No juveniles showed but my wait was rewarded when one of the adults popped out of the nest entrance.
Another image from site 22 with a "bit of golden glow".
What I did learn from the day is "juvenile spotting" or as it is also know "chick checking" is far more productive in the late evening to dusk period, but all things considered it wasn't too bad a day with two more being recorded taking this years tally to 49!

Friday Night.
I'd got an hour spare on Friday night before I was due to go out and have a few beers, do I sit in an watch a bit of TV or do I nip out and check for more fledged little Owl chicks????? The latter won hands down!
Due to the time constraints I had to go to a local site, and one of which I hadn't checked out yet, the chosen location was site No 32 near to Peatling Magna.
I was conscious of how little time I had, but I needn't of worried as the 1st adult owl was soon sighted in the nest tree and it didn't do its usual disappearing act, I wonder why? It didn't appear to really be bothered by my presence, then I realised why, the chicks were out!!!!! And what good fortune, all 3 of them as well. They were all clambering about high up in the tree, obviously the adult bird was keeping a close eye on them ............and me!!!!!
Double click on any image for an enlarged and more detailed version.

Adult No 1 - Keeping a watch out.
The chicks seemed inquisitive and dropped lower into the tree to get a better look at me and the Landrover, this offered some excellent photo opportunities, when they weren't hiding behind the branches and leaves that is.
Juvenile No 1 - Peek-a-boo!
Juvenile 2 - A little more showy.
Juvenile 3 - The shyest!
Juvenile 1 - The bravest and boldest!
Adult No 2 then showed with some food, all hell was then let loose as all three Juveniles scrambled and squawked their way up the tree to be the first for the incoming morsel, chick No 1 was the winner..............surprise, surprise!!!!
I wish all my excursions could be as short and productive as this was, guess I will pay for it when I next go out??

Ken Parish reckons I've been fulfilling my role as right-wing shill by "gleefully stirring up fear and loathing over Peter Garrett's refusal to distance himself from federal ALP support for a proposed new US military communication base in Western Australia". The guy wouldn't have a clue: I'm no shill; I'm a right-wing stooge.
Parish sees Garrett's shift on U.S. military installations in Australia -- from totally opposing to warmly welcoming -- as an example of democratic processes in action. The flip-flop certainly doesn't bring Garrett's principles or honesty into question and certainly wasn't a matter of "gutless expedience".
On the contrary, Parish contends Garrett is simply being a team player in ensuring cabinet -- in this case Labor shadow cabinet -- solidarity. Bullshit.
Garrett's opposition to U.S. "bases" in Australia derives from his core values -- he has continuously and passionately opposed these bases over a period of many years. His noteriety and popularity are directly related to his oft-stated position on this issue. In going with the flow on this issue Garrett is compromising political values that go to the core of his political existence.
The left continually berates Prime Minister Howard for taking stands or implementing policies that are politically expedient. When a Labor politician with perceived unrealized potential does the same many on the left look the other way.
Parish can tart this up any way he wants but there's no way to disguise the fact that Garrett is a Labor party politician only because the Greens vehicle isn't capable of taking him where he wants to go: to the top.

Have you managed to get your ESTA VISA yet? If so, you need to start looking at things you're going to do once you get to the US. I was really scared that I was going to spend my entire trip just looking for things to see and do, but luckily I was able to compile a "must see/do" list before taking off. Now, I can happily say that it was a success, and I want to share these places with you.
Specifically, here are the top things that you absolutely cannot skip over while visiting Los Angeles. The iconic, vibrant city has a ton of attractions and you can go ahead and count your trip as a failed one if you don't managed to see at least a dozen of them. Here are some of the top ones that LA offers and you should check out most definitely.
Venice Beach
Venice Beach is iconic worldwide as one of the most splendid beach sites in the world. Tourists from all over the world come here but so do Americans. The place is packed with people looking for a good time and it's very easy for them to find it thanks to the boardwalk which is basically the main attraction here. As I was experiencing the boardwalk, I couldn't help but stop a couple of times to admire the various street performers. I was about to make it rain when someone quickly brought it to my attention that I pulled to much money out of my wallet. It's considered custom to drop them a dollar or two if you thought their act was worth stopping for.
TLC Chinese Theatre
If you're into Hollywood and more importantly into movies, then you'll probably have a blast visiting the TLC Chinese Theatre. I know I do, and this was a place I just couldn't skip or get out of my head for that matter. This site is a remnant of Hollywood's Golden Age and to this day a lot of people go check it out. Tickets for the tour are quite cheap and you can get a tour at set hours which go on throughout the entire day, meaning that it's pretty easy to fit it into your schedule. This is also where you can visit the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which features handprints from hundreds of worldwide acclaimed actors and actresses.
Sunset Boulevard
Sunset Boulevard is something that everyone has heard of and if you're in the area it should really be atop your priorities to at least check it out. In days of old, this was a location that represented the epitome of Hollywood lifestyle. It even took its place in a couple of movies and one very famous one, Sunset Boulevard, dons its name even. Nowadays it's the perfect plays to be if you're looking for great nightlife with a Hollywood vibe in the air. I had a hard time ditching the movie star vibes going on here, which wasn't surprising since I didn't even try.
Griffith Observatory
Exploring new places means checking out new views. This wasn't on my list originally but some nice folk pointed me towards this attraction so I went to check out the Griffith Observatory. This landmark has become famous in its own right thanks to being positioned in front of the Hollywood sign and offering visitors spectacular views since it atop Mount Hollywood. The Los Angeles basin is yours to admire if you decide to make the trip to the Observatory. And let me tell you, I really did have a breathtaking moment when it was just me and the view below.

As part of the gig submission process, some promoters require audio files be included as part of the application. In some cases, you may need to provide proof of a sample music license right when your music track contains samples of another artist's work.
Currently the default setting for music tracks uploaded during the gig submission process is that it does not contain sample music.

Feb.10 (GMM) 2014 runner-up Red Bull has emerged as a big question-mark ahead of the new season.
Last year, Daniel Ricciardo was the only driver other than the occupant of a Mercedes to see the view from the top of the podium.
But after the first official test of the 2015 pre-season, the Australian's best aggregate time at Jerez was good for just twelfth overall.
New teammate Daniil Kvyat fared even worse in the camouflaged RB11, outpaced only by the stuttering McLaren-Hondas.
Reliability was also a weakness for Red Bull at Jerez, as even the initially-absent Lotus ultimately managed more laps than the former champions.
Combined, Ricciardo and Kvyat put just 166 laps on the RB11's odometer, compared to the 516 on the tally of the dominant Mercedes.
Speaking to Germany's Auto Motor und Sport, Williams technical boss Pat Symonds agrees that Mercedes is still number 1, with Williams and Ferrari neck-and-neck for second.
The big unknown, Symonds admitted, is Red Bull.
"They have run so little that it is difficult to judge them," he said.
"We (Williams) are where we wanted to be," Symonds added. "Obviously we have no control over what the competition is doing, but it does look as though Mercedes is keeping the handbrake on at the moment.
"And Ferrari has apparently made a good jump," he said.
