An organization is a dynamic entity & is always on the move. Needless to say, it must have a strong underlying direction to constantly drive its business growth. In this context, ‘Vision’ is commonly perceived as an abstract level statement that strives to describe the intentions of the Organization on its plans (with its business) over the next few years.
Off late we witness sweeping changes to business grammar & hence conventional approach fails to return adequate response to business growth. Through experience we can assess that a mere extrapolation of past into future (even though we make some strong causal assumptions for growth) often results in less than satisfactory results comparing to our original business vision. Many times organizations also tend to be conservative when it makes business plans using facts from past (typically 20 to 25 percent top line growth) & many times the results are far lesser than even the conservative estimates of growth. Generically, the business plan projections would assume several extraneous factors such as government policies, CAGR, prevailing economic sentiments, competitor actions, changing customer preferences etc. As the company progresses with time, the financial results accomplished, in most cases are primarily a sum total of how the competitors have fared in the market place & how in general was the economic growth sentiments. This means to say the said company has allowed its results to be decided mostly by the extraneous factors on which it has no firm hold or influence, in which case, the chance that the company would reach its full business plan is nothing but by hope. As a standing proof, if one analyses the financial statements of a any representative company, many times, we can observe the financial performance ‘topsy turvy’.
Generically speaking, organizations adopt few conventional known ways to pursue their business plans & visions:
(The above lists of possible actions are merely indicative but not exhaustive)
While the company has the choice to decide which mode (organic or in organic or a combination) to choose, they are under a constant dilemma – Should the company adopt inorganic means OR Should the company extract more from what they have already (organic means from what they know & have already). Companies tend to undertake a compromised mid path as outcome of this dilemma, however these actions are many times adhoc & are associated with immense risks. Any plans made & actions encountered, (irrespective of the above mentioned means) to realize a particular business plan are associated with abundant risks & uncertainties to the extent, many times organizations find themselves with a huge gap between their originally conceived plan/intent & their current status, down the line. It is quite common that many companies pursue inorganic means of growth despite the real risk involved & without much logical conviction of why do they so. Probably the underlying assumption is ‘Growth comes from only from new markets, new products, higher available capacity etc’. The business results are obvious & many times the company is found journeying on a totally different direction, in relation to its original business plan & they are compelled to continue (because they might have made the necessary investments) despite their dismal performance. All these necessitate a fundamental rethinking to arrive at a holistic business model for the organization to quickly & firmly pursue its business plans/goals. In other words, there is a compelling need to obliterate the above mentioned dilemma & also due to fact that ‘compromised solution’ to overcome the above dilemma does not yield break through results.
An operational company would be encountered with several business problems such as high unneeded inventory, obsolete products, dissatisfied customers (due to chronic late deliveries made by the company, poor quality levels, inadequate product range, improper customer service levels etc), dropping profit margins, dropping sales, dropping market share, longer cash to cash cycle etc. All these business issues are definitely undesirable to have & hence let us for definition purpose tag it as ‘Undesirable Effects’ (to one’s business). These undesirable effects need to be certainly addressed for extracting more of existing business activities.
While it is common for the management team to chase these Undesirable Effects (UDE’s) with an objective of improving their current business performance & hence deal with these UDE’s through exclusive management initiatives. One can verify this fact by simply raising the following question -- How many time we come across organizations launching improvement initiatives to resolve the before said UDE’s? Most importantly organizations launch initiatives to resolve UDE’s uniquely (in isolation) through and as a result multiple initiatives exists with in an organization at any given point in time - such as TQM, TPM, BPR, Implementing an ERP / sophisticated optimization system, customer satisfaction surveys etc. On the lighter sense, the only time when organizations start rethinking about its proliferated list of initiatives is during the tough days of economic slump (that too to mainly to cut costJ). Given the complexity (considering its multiple plants, wide variety of SKU’s it manufactures, number of components raw materials etc) of a large or even a medium sized organization, it becomes a highly complex affair to chase & resolve all the possible UDEs in a given company, because of the shear involvement of infinite variables that are causing them, to identify them & later to control them.
Launching improvement initiatives across the organization (without global focus) is due to an erroneous paradigm that ‘Sum of local optima is equivalent to the global optima’, in other words ‘Save dime everywhere to save a dollar at the end of the day’. The proof of the case is despite a long list of management initiatives, companies are unable to tangibly experience the financial results (sales, profits, profitability) at the end of the day. In reality, when we introspect for the factors that messed up our overall business plan, due to the complexity involved in the business dynamics & lack of clarity on the key reasons that led to failure, general tendency is to pass the buck on to the initiatives that were undertaken to accomplish the business plans.
Is there an alternate way by which organizations can better understand their real business problems to find a way to extract more from their current business & tangibly see encouraging financial results?
Many companies strongly believe that large scale of growth can accrue only through inorganic means & as a result align their future plans/actions in line with this belief/assumption. While the rewards appear promising, the risks involved are many & need to be carefully weighed. For example, how many times we notice that companies expand their capacities way ahead even before they fully utilize their existing capacities productively. This situation compels them to utilize their new capacity (to justify the investment made - probably to see their measures such as ROCE (Return on capital employed)) appears well & subsequently sell their piled up inventories from new capacity at a lower cost (by lowering the sales price of products) as there is no immediate overwhelming demand. This obviously leads to lower margins & impacts the financial performance in an adverse manner. Probably the new capacity is designed based on an optimistic forecast which failed to happen. This situation would obviously mean that the company may struggle to even sustain the ongoing operations & it is no surprise that they can get anywhere closer to their original aggressive business plans.
Is there a better way that mitigates risks while embarking into inorganic means of growth at least to a good extent & increase the probability of accomplishing the intended business plans with higher confidence?
“Considering the enormous complexity of your system it follows that there must be only very few elements that govern the entire system. In other words, the more complex the system is, the more profound is its inherent simplicity. To capitalize on the inherent simplicity we must be able to identify those few elements that govern the system. ” – Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt
The above revelation leads to the point that there has got to be very few critical constraining factors (generically could be physical factors such as men, material, machine or mental models that lead to policy formation) that controls the behavior of the organization & hence its business results. The proof of an existence of a constraint lies in the simple fact that the financial growth of a company is normally experienced as a controlled growth (say 15% year on year). If there were no constraint(s), the company can potentially grow by infinite terms. As the common proverb goes ‘It is better manage the constraint(s) else constraint(s) will manage you (the company)’, from a strategic standpoint, when a company builds the growth plans for over few years, it is imperative that it identifies & leverages its business performance on this constraint. It is implicit that the growth plans we build are accomplished with ongoing stability, which is a mandatory condition for a sustainable growth to stay. It is not our objective to produce sensational results from time to time, but making our company deliver superior results in a stable fashion – for every jump in financial performance, the associated stability is almost guaranteed. It is also important to note that the employers, employees, stakeholders & society in large expect an organization to be growing & for growth stability is a mandatory condition (without growth there cannot be stability, but only degradation).
Identifying the Constraint & Exploiting it
Simply stated, Constraint is an entity that limits the performance of the system (in our case an organization). Since the intent of the growth plan is over a period of time & our aim is to focus on delivering superior financial results, (for a profit oriented system), ‘Customers/Market’ is the constraint. As the name signifies, a ‘Constraint’ being scarce cannot be wasted. Full efforts must be invested to extract the most of the Constraint, as Constraints limits/dictates the performance. It is sensible to first explore ways to identify if in the current ways – Is the Constraint being exploited fully? Getting more from the Constraint is akin to more sales/profitability. Going on these lines, it would be important for us to first identify what are the common ways (no need for any research work here) by which we don’t fully exploit the Constraint (Customers/Market)? By knowing to exploit the constraint well, our company would be able to gain a ‘Decisive Competitive Edge’ (DCE) in the market. Following is an indicative live example from reality
A company that manufactures 1000 plus FMCG products with annual sales of $ 150 Million distributes these products through a long supply chain consisting of distributors, dealers & retailers. Beginning of this exercise the company observed that in majority of the key retail stores, less than 5% of its products range were ‘Available’ for sale. Prima Facie all of us would agree – ‘Only when products are displayed it has a higher probability for Sale’. Even from the product range that is made available, the consistent availability of these products were less than 30%, which resulted in huge loss of sale. Not having the right product range & not making it available all the time is not fully exploiting the ‘Constraint’. Hence if the company can do the right actions to increase the availability, the growth of sales can be surprisingly higher coupled along with profits, profitability (when more sales happen with the same infrastructure, then profits/profitability soars). The above company experienced a sales growth of 80% within few months while its profitability soared. These actions result in a win win framework for both the company & its supply chain partners (distributors, retailers). Knowing (having the right processes & culture) how the constraint can be well exploited & offering this knowhow to the market enables the company to derive a DCE in the market. Having got the DCE the company can exploit it in existing markets & later on move to new distributors/new geographies successfully with much higher probability of success, since the knowhow of win win framework & the valuable experience it has gained in existing markets exists with the company.
The above is a classical example of how well exploitation (organic growth) can precede inorganic growth. (However it is important to note that the above example pertains to a particular scenario of consumer goods & different conditions exist for other types of industries). The above case study also reveals there is a huge scope for exploiting more from the existing system, release cash by getting more from what we have now, spur quantum jump in financial performance & deploy it for expansion (inorganic) at the right time, when the company is adequately poised (has enough cash, experience of win win framework etc). Needless to say the supporting processes for expanding (in terms of timing it & how much of expansion required) to be well dovetailed considering the following vital two factors:
It is also important not to stay at a conceptual level but translate purposeful concepts & directions into workable actions (strategies & tactics). These workable actions & associated procedures to turn into a reality is to be viewed as a comprehensively instead of evolving it functionally or through any other means.
On the other side, it becomes apparent that the business plans & initiatives required to accomplish them should also be logically based on those constraining factors as they become the “leveraging points”. Once these “leveraging points” are properly exploited through appropriate interventions & measures, that truly correlate the local actions (department level) to global results, the UDE’s evaporate (disappear) enabling the organization to make large scale improvements. With this focused approach, now it becomes easier to locate & assign the requisite improvement initiatives such as 6 sigma, TQM, TPM, SMED, investment on machinery etc at the right areas where the improvement makes the best impact to the global results (financial result). Also it is important to note this new paradigm of thinking – Focusing everywhere is akin to not to focusing anywhere”.
Needless to say that the above approach requires a paradigm change in the organizational thinking process, it also becomes all the more compelling to identify the essential building blocks for the visioning process.
The original dilemma of pursuing an organic or an inorganic means to pursue business growth, is now broken since it is not OR condition but AND condition. However the sequence by which the means will be pursued is extremely important. Also many times, companies tend to embark into inorganic means of growth much earlier even before fully extracting what they can from their existing business structure. This approach paves the way for quick spurt in financial performance & the knowhow on when to expand into other markets ensure continuity of growth that will augur stability in growth. Growth & Stability becomes are inseparable twins in business planning.

Danger of further Talibanization of constitution looms
Strange are the ways of politics: on the one hand former President General Pervez Musharraf is being tried by the present government, for violating the constitution by promulgating emergency, ostensibly to curb terrorism while actually it was terrorism against the judiciary and media.; on the other hand the same government has constituted a committee to negotiate with the terrorists who have ruthlessly murdered around 50,000 people including about 5000 military jawans not only violating the constitution but also all local and international laws. The dichotomy is glaring.
In Musharraf’s case the government has compromised and not tried him on the more serious crime i.e. bringing a coup against an elected government on October 12, 1999 for pragmatic consideration that it would have required indicting not one general alone but the whole military. And that’s not all, the judges who provided legal cover to the military coup and even obliged the general by allowing him to change the constitution where required.
So Musharraf’s coup against the former Chief Justice and his colleagues has taken precedence over the coup against an elected parliament. Now Musharraf is faced with a hostile judiciary and media and his only bet is that the army supports an honourable exit from Pakistan, where he returned under the delusion that the people still love him. He may be having tacit support from his institution but doesn’t have the fire power of the terrorists groups organised under the TTP umbrella.
So what does this weak-kneed policy of the Nawaz government prove? That ballot power had to surrender to the bullet power on the mountains and in the valleys of FATA. When the two committees would sit down to negotiate the obvious TTP demands would be to release the terrorists arrested by the government so far for killing hundreds of innocent people and military personnel and implantation of Sharia a’ la Mulla Omer and Al Qaeda. Now the question is will the military agree to release the terrorists in their custody knowing well that these terrorists will join their cadres and strengthen the TTP? It would be foolish if they will fall for that.
The second demand regarding imposition of Sharia may include, as it did in Swat, to introduce Nizam-e-Adl. Next they can ask for having Qazi courts with only Madrassa educated Islamic scholars. They can also ask for making the ulema body like the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) as the supreme body instead of the Parliament as they do not believe in democracy and elections. Which according to TTP and Al Qaeda literature are the ‘curse of the western civilisation’. They can also ask for making ruling of the Federal Shariat Court final instead of the Supreme Court of Pakistan and to appoint only the Muftis to the FSC.
Will all this be acceptable to the government and the parliament? Some Islamists are arguing that with the insertion of the Objectives Resolution as the substantive part of the constitution in 1985 General Zia opened the door to the Islamisation of the constitution. They also quote Article 31 of the constitution to emphasis that implementation of Sharia is possible under this provision, but the point they miss is that it does not use the word enforce instead it talks about ‘steps shall be taken to enable The Muslims of Pakistan’… 31(2) says ‘shall endeavour’; only 2(a) says make the teaching of Holy Quran and Islamiat compulsory’; 2(b) says ‘promote unity and the observance of Islamic moral standards’; and 2(c) calls ‘to secure the proper organisation of Zakat, [ushr] auqaf and mosque.’ (Italics added to emphasize). Now 2(a) and 2(c) have already been implemented in Pakistan. The rest of the Article 31 does not provided for forced enforcement as the TTP and its advocates want.
Leaving the constitutional issue aside and without indulging in the debate that there are various interpretations to Sharia which divide the Muslims of the world as nothing was written for over a century after the Prophet (Pbuh), the real problem of Pakistan is separating politics and religion. Rising religiosity and the attached militancy has not only made religious teaching controversial and divisive, it has also kept the Muslim societies way behind the developed world which moved towards secularism centuries ago.
Some leaders and journalists are telling us that all the killings in FATA were for the quicker and effective judicial system implementation. If that is so then why the people of entire Pakistan are not picking up arms against the corrupt painfully slow judicial system? Killing and hanging bodies on poles, bombing and whipping for a civilised cause is not justified from a democratic and secular standpoint. It’s barbaric. So it’s naive to believe that the long-drawn Taliban battle was just for Sharia. There is definitely more to it than what our detractors want us to believe. Inspired by Al Qaeda these Taliban leaders believe in the world Islamic revolution starting from a base in Pakistan.
Undoubtedly, peace is important and little respite is welcomed by the people who have been living under the cross-fire of Taliban and the army. So if you take the camera around to ask whether peace talks should be given a chance people are not going to criticize the talks with TTP. They also fear for their life before commenting on the talks because Taliban have been silencing all dissent across the country.
Yes, in politics we have to be pragmatic but that doesn’t mean we should disregard what is good and what is not good for the country in the long run. The government should have encouraged and supported the local people to resist the Taliban. People want an ally which can be relied on in the struggle against Taliban and not the government who would give in to the fascist forces.
It is advocated by the supporters of the talks that the government has to negotiate with the people as you cannot use military indefinitely against your own people. Absolutely right! But what they fail to recognise is that if a group of people has taken up arms against its own people and the state, you only negotiate peace from the position of power. Everybody knows that eventually the solutions are found on the negotiation table, but it shouldn’t be while compromising on basic democratic principles.
In spite of the violation of this basic principle of politics and negotiation there are little chances for any accord unless to appease TTP the government succumbs to further distortion of the constitution by Talibanising it. Indeed this is likely to be resisted by secular forces democratically. The signs of this resistance are visible on the political horizon.

Just After Sunset, By Stephen King
These scary stories are strangely reassuring
Sunday 09 November 2008
When I interviewed Stephen King for this paper in 2006, he told me that the night before we met he'd had a dream that was so vivid he'd woken up in the middle of the night and wondered how anybody "could have so much power in their heads to have a dream like that". I begged him to tell me about the dream but he refused, saying he was certain it would show up in his fiction sooner or later. In the end notes to his latest collection, Just After Sunset, King expands on what he was going through at the time. Before coming to England to promote his novel Lisey's Story, he'd decided to go cold turkey and stop using the anti-depressant drug Doxepin, which he'd been taking to numb the chronic pain he'd been experiencing since his road accident in 1999. The side effects of quitting this drug were astonishing dreams.
The dream he mentioned that afternoon in London, which turns out to have inspired a new story called "Graduation Afternoon", featured a vast mushroom cloud blossoming over New York. As King writes, it's not a particularly unusual image, having been used in countless movies and TV programmes, but what he found so disturbing (and compelling) was his sense that the dream was not just a premonition of something that could happen, but something that would happen.
After all this build up, the six-page story comes as something of a disappointment, as does the other nightmare-inspired story in the collection, "Harvey's Dream". King sets great store by the subconscious imagination, having named one collection Nightmares and Dreamscapes and written in his introduction to Michel Houellebecq's book on H P Lovecraft about wanting to write a story called "Lovecraft's Pillow", believing that the dreams of a man who wrote such terrifying stories must surely be infectious. But in both of these stories, which seem to have been written quickly, he seems less interested in creating compelling fiction than in transcribing his night terrors.
Fortunately, the other 11 stories in this collection are all brilliant and, taken as a whole, this is King's finest book of short fiction since 1985's Skeleton Crew. The subject matter varies widely (from a Satanic cat to a man who torments his homosexual neighbour by imprisoning him in a chemical toilet), but the collection gains thematic unity from King's focus, in the majority of stories, on how conventional anxieties and fears can be amplified still further in the post 9/11 age. In the notes to a story entitled "The Things They Left Behind", King writes of how he was deeply and fundamentally affected by the collapse of the Twin Towers, but felt a reluctance to say anything about "an event that has become as much an American touchstone as Pearl Harbor or the assassination of John Kennedy". This sensitivity ensures that the story he has eventually written about the event is one of the most compassionate fictional responses to 9/11 by an American author, and the fact that he has chosen a short story rather than a novel to address that day indicates King's reluctance to trade on this terror.
In fact, somewhat surprisingly, King's main aim in this collection seems less to shock than to reassure. His tales may feature serial killers, ghosts, abusive boyfriends and aeroplanes (by the way, ignore King's advice in his introduction that this might be a good book to kill a dull aeroplane flight; I read it on a plane to New York and it gave me a serious case of the heebie-jeebies), but his emphasis in this collection is on survival, and if survival's not possible, then in the possible consolations of the afterlife.
King doesn't believe in organised religion, but he thinks that humans survive death in one way or another, a possibility that inspires the two most charming stories in the collection, "Willa" and "Ayana". King's folksy charm has always been a major part of his appeal (not for nothing does he refer to himself as "Uncle Stevie"), but never before has he seemed quite so keen to guide the reader safely through a dark period, perhaps the only sane response to a period when any horrors he can conjure are easily topped by the nightly news. It may seem odd to turn to a horror writer for comfort, but if that's what you're looking for, King's your man. Sure, he enjoys rattling the chains as much as ever (the collection ends with him gleefully reminding the reader to check their oven and back door), but the possibility that we might genuinely be in the end times is too bleak a prospect for even a grand horror-master to relish.

Servas members Courtney Dillard and Matt Webber will spend their honeymoon in true Servas spirit by taking strangers out to breakfast across America. Shortly after they walk down the aisle in July, they will hit the open road on their hopeful journey from Portland, OR to Portland, ME. Matt and Courtney decided to take this trip in part to challenge the negative narratives of ‘stranger danger’ and a divided America. As Courtney relays “Our several years as Servas travelers and hosts have shown us how wonderful strangers who become friends are and how much richer life is when you are open to others.”
The couple will seek out strangers along the road in all kinds of ways including bulletin boards, word of mouth, social media, and pure chance. When they return home they plan to compile their stories into a book: Breakfast with Strangers: 50 Meals across America. 10% of the proceeds will go to Servas.
If you are able to support their project through Kickstarter, please visit: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1406680384/breakfast-with-strangers-50-meals-across-america The couple has about a week left to meet their funding goal. If you would like to connect with them on their journey, they can be reached at: (304) 50-MEALS.

I have read with considerable interest the editorial in your paper of this day's issue under the heading "Mr. Schurz's Policy." The suggestion that the Filipinos be given "freedom and independence" seems to me to conflict with the true relationship which the island territory bears to the United States.

In recent days President Donald Trump tried to give Democrats something they said they wanted: A more compassionate policy regarding the separation of migrant children from their accompanying adults when they are caught crossing illegally into the United States.
Trump kept his “zero-tolerance” policy in place which says that all illegal border crossers will be prosecuted, per the rule of law. But when and where children could remain with adults — if they were determined to be legitimate family members — the Trump administration would accommodate that.
The ink was barely dry on the executive order when Democrats and their sycophantic supporters in the establishment media began complaining that wasn’t good enough either.
As The National Sentinel reported:
The pretend media has whipped up a frenzy among millions of Americans by creating a fake “child migrant crisis” at the U.S. border. But on Wednesday, POTUS Trump agreed to relax his policy of separating children from illegal adult border jumpers.
Naturally the fakestream media wasn’t satisfied. Because like the Democrats they serve, they want nothing less than open borders.
“Under the zero-tolerance policy … so long as these parents are being prosecuted criminally, they will continue to be separated from their children and will be separated from their parents for at least a few days,” said Natalia Cornelio, a Left-wing criminal justice reform director, in an interview with MSNBC.
Democratic lawmakers chimed in as well. Sen. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin whined that the order didn’t “reverse” the zero-tolerance policy (which again is based on enforcing the law as written). Sen. Dianne Feinstein agreed and then accused Trump of next plotting to “eliminate basic protections” for people seeking asylum.
That’s a bald-faced lie but Democrats don’t care and their media allies aren’t going to challenge them on those lies because they all want the same thing: Open borders so they can ‘fundamentally transform’ the current disgusting, racist, homophobic, intolerant, and far-too-white America.
Conservative pundit, author, and multiple presidential contender Pat Buchanan knows exactly what is going on. He’s covered this issue for decades and even wrote a book about it called, “The Death of the West.” [Note: Link is for reference purposes only.]
In a column last week, he noted that since 2016, about 110,000 migrant children have been caught sneaking into the country illegally, but later released. Add to that 200,000 families — most from Central America — who have also been released.
Most are being taken care of by the U.S. taxpayer, that’s just true. And worse, as Buchanan quotes a frustrated Trump administration official, “We can’t deport them, we can’t separate them, we can’t detain them, we can’t prosecute them. What (the Democrats) want is a radical open-border policy that lets everyone out into the interior of this country with virtually no documentation whatsoever.”
Democrats see future voters, whereas normal Americans see intruders, freeloaders, and people taking advantage of outsized generosity. (Related: Senate Democrats endanger citizens in risky ploy to protect illegal aliens.)
The Democratic Party is bereft of ideas. It is morally bankrupt. It is culturally destructive. Nothing about today’s Democratic Party builds up America, empowers its people, defends its traditions or strengthens its economy. The Democratic Party is about hate, loathing, intolerance for alternative views and authoritarianism. What the party can’t convince us to do it wants to force us to do.
That’s not a good political platform to run on. So the only way to accomplish the ‘utopia’ of political absolutism is to import voters who are more than willing to latch onto the American gravy train rather than improve the destitution and poverty in their home countries.
Trump is the president America needs for the perilous times we are in. As Democrats seek to destroy our culture and transform our political structure, Trump is standing athwart that effort. MAGA is about preserving our country, not destroying it.
Democrats stand for the opposite.

MIAMI BEACH, Florida (WFOR) — On Sunday March 21, when police closed popular Ocean Drive at 8 p.m., not everyone went home. Some people continued the party on the streets of residential Meridian Avenue, just a few blocks over.
“Over 1,000 people easily,” said John Walter, who lives in an apartment on Meridian Ave. “And they were walking up and down parked cars.”
Walter said police did show up within about 15 minutes and reminded the crowds of the city’s curfew in the entertainment district.
“When the police showed up and said ‘Miami Beach police, this is a state of emergency,’ people started running to our building,” Walsh said. “My neighbor and I sat on the floor and put our feet on the staircase to try and block them from coming in. I guess they were afraid of being pepper sprayed or something.”
Another woman who lives on Euclid Avenue also heard the throngs of people on Sunday night and took cell phone video which captured the sounds of police sirens echoing through neighborhoods.
The chaos and unruly crowds during the Spring Break holiday forced Miami Beach officials to call it a State of Emergency.
Police also implemented a curfew from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. in the city’s entertainment district, which includes Ocean Drive and Washington Avenue.
“This not what vacation should be about,” said Merle Liivand who lives in Miami Beach. “When somebody comes to your home, you don’t want the guests leaving trash everywhere. So don’t do that to our beaches,” she said.
Liivand is an athlete and swimmer who heads to the beach every day. While she’s there, she cleans up trash. And she said recently, it’s become everyday work.
“Every single person who comes here and wants to vacation and love Miami Beach, don’t come here to do bad things,” said Liivand. “Come here and enjoy, come here and give back to the nature and other people.”
The chaos that has sometimes flowed into residential areas has attracted national attention.
“How many weeks do we have of this still to go? It just makes us look like the laughingstock of the country,” said Walter.
But not everyone who lives in Miami Beach is bothered by the crowds that have flocked to South Beach for spring break.
“I saw some local fights or something like this, but it wasn’t as crazy as I saw on the news,” said Soslan Khamitcaev, who lives in Meridian Avenue.
He wasn’t home Sunday, he said, when video showed large groups of people blocking traffic in front of his apartment. But he said he doesn’t mind the crowds as long as it doesn’t get out of hand.
“I don’t want to see fights and everything, but other than that, I’m completely find with that,” he said.

Desto was killed early Saturday September 24, 2022 near 5500 Richmond Avenue in West Houston. The incident took place at around 2:30 a.m. local time while she was driving a Porsche SUV with at least one passenger inside.
Police found two women with gunshot wounds inside the vehicle. One of the victims, who is believed to be the rapper, was immediately pronounced dead, while the other woman was transported to a local hospital.
A male shooting victim was reportedly found nearby and taken to a private medical facility. Both the male and female victims who did not die are expected to survive.
“We don’t have any information about motive at this time. It could be road rage,” HPD Assistant Chief Wyatt Martin told reporters Saturday.
“It could have been robbery. We just don’t know, and we don’t have enough information at this time to make a determination.”
No suspects have been identified by HPD as witnesses are being interviewed.

EBSS Current Topics Discussions are organized by the EBSS Members-at-Large.
2017-2018 Members-at-Large: Cass Kvenild and Yu-Hui Chen
Current Topics Discussion: Discussion on Digital Scholarship and Libraries: Mission and Models, March 28, 2018
Presenter: Joan K. Lippincott, Ph.D.
Joan K. Lippincott is the Associate Executive Director of the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI), a joint program of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and EDUCAUSE, based in Washington, DC. Joan is a widely published author and frequent conference speaker. At CNI, Joan has provided leadership for programs in teaching and learning, learning spaces, digital scholarship, assessment, and collaboration among professional groups. She serves on the boards of the journal portal, The Reference Librarian, and the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD) and on the advisory board of the Journal of Learning Spaces. She served on the board of the New Media Consortium (NMC) and on its advisory boards for the Horizon Report for both higher education and libraries. Joan is the current editor of the EDUCAUSE Review E-Content column. She is past chair of the Association of College & Research Libraries’ (ACRL) New Publications Board, and served as a member of the ACRL Information Literacy Competency Standards Review Task Force that produced the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education.

She also completed graduate work at George Washington University and Cornell University.
Providing expertise in the library for faculty, graduate students, and upper level undergraduates seeking assistance with digital scholarship projects is becoming increasingly common. Digital scholarship projects may emerge from faculty research interests, may be a component of classroom assignments, or may be the products of theses or capstone work. In any of these cases, the library’s involvement is a natural extension of its role in support of the university or college’s mission. Joan Lippincott will provide a brief overview of examples of the variety of products using digital scholarship tools and methodologies, followed by a description of digital scholarship centers in libraries, informed by her work at the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI). She will then focus on the distinctions between library-administered digital scholarship centers and those administered through faculty groups, departments, or colleges. As libraries embark on planning for digital scholarship, it is important to understand some of these distinctions, make informed choices, and set up appropriate structures and arrangements.
