ITEM 15. REVIEW OF 12 MONTH TRIAL OF THE RETAIL ACTIVATION
PROGRAM FOR PITT STREET MALL
FILE NO: S080764
In July 2014 Council adopted a Retail Activation Program for a 12 month trial period involving the use of Pitt Street Mall (the Mall) for certain events at no charge. The program was created to support new activities in Pitt Street Mall that are designed to attract shoppers by creating ‘experiential opportunities’ through events and performances involving broad public participation.
The Pitt Street Mall Retail Activation Program responds to a number of actions in the Retail Action Plan that was adopted by Council on 9 December 2013. These include the creation of great ‘experiences’ for shoppers in order to attract them to the city rather than online and to encourage large and small scale events that contribute to the liveliness and activation of the city centre.
The trial program, effective 1 October 2014 until 30 September 2015, has allowed the City to engage with the retail sector and assist them to navigate regulation, clarify processes and efficiently and effectively interact with the City. The Retail Activation Program has allowed events and activities to occur outside of the standard $1,000 per hour hire fee for the use of Pitt Street Mall (this fee having been previously identified as the most significant barrier to the occurrence of these types of events and activities).
Guidelines for the program were established against which event proposals were assessed to determine their applicability for this program. A total of seven applications were received over the 12 month period of which five proceeded with two activations postponed for commercial reasons by the retailers.
The purpose of this report is to provide Council with an evaluation of the program over the past 12 months and to recommend the continuation of the program for the next three years to coincide with the construction timeframe of the Sydney Light Rail in recognition of the potential period of disruption.
Existing use of Pitt Street Mall for events such as corporate promotions, community events, busking and food trucks continued to occur throughout this trial period with no impact.
It is resolved that Council:
(A) approve the continuation of the Pitt Street Mall Retail Activation Program for a period of three years (commencing 26 October 2015) during the construction of the Sydney Light Rail program thereby providing a retail activation space in the public domain to encourage and support new retail activities in Pitt Street Mall and drive pedestrian footfall;
REVIEW OF 12 MONTH TRIAL OF THE RETAIL ACTIVATION PROGRAM FOR PITT STREET MALL
(B) note that all activities that fall within the Retail Activation Program are subject to an approved event application;
(C) note that the introduction of this program will not fetter the City’s discretion to determine event applications; and (D) note that, at or near the conclusion of the three year program, a report will be presented to Council with a further evaluation of the program.
1. In December 2013, Council adopted an Economic Development Strategy; a 10 year strategy to strengthen the City’s economy and support business. The strategy sets out a course of action designed to build on the City economy’s strong foundations for success; create opportunities for individuals, businesses and the community; and address the challenges that might otherwise limit Sydney’s potential growth as a global city.
2. The Strategy identifies a number of priority industry or economic sectors or locations for which detailed Action Plans will be developed. The Action Plans provide more detail on the specific challenges and opportunities faced by that sector or location and include projects and programs designed to address those.
3. The Retail Action Plan was adopted in 9 December 2013. The actions for the City
and its partners include those which address the need to:
(a) create great experiences for city workers, residents and visitors to Sydney to ensure they choose to shop in central Sydney and the villages;
(b) build capacity and resilience to ensure the city has a diverse range of sustainable, innovative retail businesses;
(c) remove barriers, clarifying regulatory processes and assisting in particular, new retailers and small businesses to more efficiently and effectively interact with the City and other levels of government; and (d) engage with the sector to encourage closer cooperation between retailers and more efficient interactions with the regulatory processes of government.
4. A thriving retail sector in the city centre is important for the economy of the city. It is also an important contributor to the liveability of the city. Retail related businesses represent more than 7,800 (or 36 per cent) of the approximately 21,500 businesses in the city and the sector is also a major employer.
5. As identified in the Retail Action Plan, the sector is changing and to remain competitive, retailers in the city must offer a retail ‘experience’ comparable to those found in other cities around the world. All stakeholders in the sector contribute to this experience, whether it is in-store or in the public domain. The City’s focus is on the quality of the public domain and the level of activity within it. As well, the City’s actions are directed toward reducing regulatory and other barriers within our control.
6. In 2014, the City’s Retail Advisory Panel recommended that Council consider allowing certain events to occur in Pitt Street Mall without requiring payment of the scheduled fee of $1,000 per hour in Pitt Street. Many retailers stated that the fee for events was the most significant barrier to creating opportunities to drive further footfall into Pitt Street Mall. The fee of $1,000 per hour in the current Schedule of Fees and Charges was designed to facilitate corporate promotional activity and the rate was set at a level to ensure that only a limited number of high quality activities took place in the Mall each year. It is not designed for, nor is applicable to, the type of larger scale public events that create reasons to visit the city centre.
7. Following discussions with the Retail Advisory Panel and receipt of a proposal from a key retail stakeholder in mid-2014, a report was prepared for Council in order to seek endorsement for a 12 month trial period of a Retail Activation Program for Pitt Street Mall allowing appropriate events and activations to occur without the payment of the $1,000 per hour fee.
EVALUATION OF THE PROGRAM
8. Council approved a 12 month trial period on 28 July 2014. The trial period commenced on 1 October 2014 and ran until 30 September 2015. During that 12 month period a total of seven applications were received of which five proceeded and two activations postponed for commercial reasons by the retailers.
9. Performance criteria and guidelines were developed in order to ensure that the types of events and activities to take place under the Retail Activation Program would be of a high quality and capable of attracting a wide audience. Ultimately, the intent of attracting an audience is to increase economic benefit to the retail area surrounding Pitt Street Mall, increase footfall and provide a lively and active place that encourages more visits and increases dwell time in central Sydney retail area.
10. The table below provides a summary of the events that were approved under the
Program and their alignment with the performance criteria:
Table 1: Alignment of events approved against performance criteria in Retail Activation Program
11. An evaluation of the five events approved under the program has demonstrated that it is meeting key actions in the Retail Action Plan and aligning with the Economic Development Strategy. The evaluation has included gathering evidence from surrounding retailers about the flow-on effects of the events in Pitt Street Mall and monitoring mainstream and social media activity both pre and post event.
13. The five events that took place under the Retail Activation Program did not impact on the revenue that the City receives from corporate promotions. Eleven events over 11 days were conducted in Pitt Street Mall in the year 1 October 2014 to 30 September 2015, generating revenue of approximately $25,400. Corporate promotions included La Roche product promotion, SMH Spectrum Now promotion and Tottenham Hotspur player appearance.
14. Pitt Street Mall continued to be used for charitable activities including St Patricks Day busking, Sydney Tower Stair challenge and Daffodil Day. Fees are generally waived under the circumstances set out in the City’s Revenue policy for charitable and not-for-profit enterprises.
CONTINUATION OF THE PROGRAM
15. Consultation with retailers in the Pitt Street Mall area since the introduction of the Retail Activation Program has highlighted the benefits of the program. Retailers have stated that without this program they would not be able to host large scale quality events attracting new audiences to this area. Events of scale and quality require substantial investment in talent, infrastructure and marketing support. If a fee of $1,000 per hour was imposed on top of that, retailers advised that they would not proceed with these events.
16. This report seeks Council approval to continue the Retail Activation Program in Pitt Street Mall for a further three year period. The three year period is designed to coincide with the construction timeframe of the Sydney Light Rail in order to allow events and activities that have the potential to draw an audience into our core retail precinct and communicate that Sydney is "open for business" during construction.
17. The first 12 months of the program demonstrated that it is possible to support high quality events which reach a broad audience without any significant adverse impacts on pedestrian movements or service deliveries in Pitt Street Mall.
18. The continuation of the program will demonstrate Council's commitment to easing regulatory barriers wherever possible to facilitate events that can have positive economic benefits.
19. The ongoing trial of the program will not result in any additional demands on Council resources compared to the previous 12 months. The implementation and evaluation of the program for the initial 12 months has allowed the City to assess the impact of the types of events envisaged under the program and it has not resulted in large numbers of unsolicited corporate promotion style events. The method of assessment, event approval and evaluation is operating efficiently and with support from all relevant City business units.
20. No changes to the performance criteria or assessment guidelines are required.
21. The Program will continue to be open to applications from business and the not for profit sector, provided that the proposed activities and their outcomes meet the guidelines. It is envisaged that retailers will initiate proposals. Applications from nonretailers must demonstrate that they are supported by retailers in the precinct.
22. The continuation of this trial Program is intended to provide an opportunity to introduce new and additional activities to Pitt Street Mall. However, the number of events or activities under this Program will be capped at 12 across any 12 month period from commencement.
23. The continuation of the Program over the next three years will enable the City to monitor the outcome of this initiative and respond to any unintended impacts from increasing the level of use and activity in Pitt Street Mall.
24. As the current Schedule of Fees and Charges does not provide for this use of Pitt Street Mall, it is proposed to make the space available at no charge for the duration of the trial. Events of the nature envisaged by this Program will generally occupy Pitt Street Mall for not more than 24 hours, although some potentially could occur over a number of days. The current fees envisage a different type of use (corporate promotion) and charging regime (per hour).
25. Costs normally charged through the City’s Event Application Fees and Charges for electrical power supply will remain applicable.
26. Arrangements are already in place to manage competing uses of the space and this is envisaged to continue. For example, the Busking Policy identifies that buskers are not permitted to operate during a special event in Pitt Street Mall. This is communicated to buskers via the Busking Guidelines and Policy documents issued with busking permits. As is current practice, buskers will be advised of the occurrence of these new events. Similarly, food truck operators would be advised of any events that impact on their trading.
27. All use of public space in the City is governed by the City’s Events Guidelines.
Procedures are in place for the submission of detailed event plans for approval by the City. These procedures are designed to ensure that appropriate activity occurs in the city and that events are appropriately planned and delivered. Activities envisaged by the Retail Activation Program will be subject to the same event approvals as all other activities that occur in the Local Government Area.
KEY IMPLICATIONSStrategic Alignment
28. Sustainable Sydney 2030 is a vision for the sustainable development of the City to 2030 and beyond. It includes 10 strategic directions to guide the future of the City, as well as 10 targets against which to measure progress. This report is aligned
specifically with the following SS2030 strategic directions and objectives:
(a) Direction 5 - A Lively and Engaging City Centre which supports the concept of a city centre that proves an activity focus for worker and visitor communities, with strong precincts and appropriate spaces and opportunities for businesses to locate and thrive. Increasing the profile, status and impact of retail events will enliven the experience of visitors to the city, contribute to the positioning of the city as Australia’s premier shopping destination and create opportunities for retailers.
29. This program is a cross-Council initiative. The Economic Strategy team will continue to lead the evaluation of proposals received under this program. The Event and Film Liaison unit will remain responsible for the approval of event applications and coordination of activities associated with an approved event.
Social / Cultural / Community
30. The events and activities proposed to take place through this Retail Activation Program will be free events, designed to encourage broad public participation.
31. By securing, creating and developing unique retailing experiences in the city, we will build on the reputation of Sydney as the premiere retailing destination. Opportunities will be presented to Sydney first which will ensure crowds will be attracted to come and view, dwell and shop and experience wider aspects of Central Sydney.
32. The Retail Activation Program is a new form of use of Pitt Street Mall to which the fee schedule for corporate promotions under the City’s current Schedule of Fees and Charges is not applicable. It is recommended that Pitt Street Mall be made available without a fee for a further three year period for a maximum of 12 events per year.

View clinical trials related to Anxiety Disorders.Filter by:
The purpose of this study is to determine if non-invasive distracting devices (Virtual Reality headset, Augmented Reality Headset) are more effective than the standard of care (i.e., no technology-based distraction) for decreasing anxiety and pain scores in pediatric patients undergoing various minor procedures (i.e lumbar punctures and cardiac catheterization). The anticipated primary outcome will be a reduction of overall cumulative medication and secondary outcomes include but are not limited to: physician satisfaction, discharge time, pain scores, anxiety scores, and procedure time.
The feasibilty and preliminary comparative effectiveness of two methods of cognitive-behavioral therapy - metacognitive therapy and intolerance of uncertainty therapy - for primary care patients with generalized anxiety disorder is investigated in a pilot study using a randomized controlled design. Purpose of the study is to examine the feasibility of a full-scale randomized controlled trial. Research questions primarily concern recruitment, measurement, and adherence.
The emergency setting, frequently associated with pain and the feeling of loss of control, can cause anxiety in patients. Reaction anxiety may be an appropriate response to an emergency; Nevertheless, attention must be paid to the evaluation and management of the latter especially as anxiety and pain are closely linked.
This study evaluates the clinical and cost effectiveness of face-to-face and computerised delivery of cognitive-behavioural therapy for highly anxious adolescents. Participants will be randomly allocated to face-to-face cognitive behavioural therapy, computerised delivery of cognitive behavioural therapy, or a no treatment control.
Patients often report anxiety and pain related to electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS) which are tests used to look for diseases of the nerves and muscles. Unfortunately, for those with very high levels of test related stress, the experience may be very frightening and may impede completion of the study and negatively impact on making a timely and accurate diagnosis. Several studies have shown that music can improve anxiety and pain levels in various situations and procedures. Our study will allow participants to play music of their choice during EMG and NCS in order to determine if the pain and anxiety that they experience is reduced.
Youth depression and anxiety represent a serious public health concern, with affected youth often experiencing social, familial, and academic impairment. Research evidence supports a growing array of effective treatments for youth depression and anxiety, yet as the collection of evidence-based treatments expands, so do the challenges of utilizing the evidence: clinicians must be able to (1) access, integrate, and apply the available evidence, and (2) engage in a collaborative process with each family to develop a plan that is responsive to each family's unique characteristics, preferences, and goals. Engaging caregivers and youths as active collaborators in the treatment planning process is a patient-centered approach with the potential to improve the process and outcome of youth mental health care by facilitating the personalization of established evidence-based treatment approaches. Such collaboration, frequently referred to as shared decision-making (SDM), is a hallmark of evidence-based practice and a key feature of federal guidelines for health care delivery. However, despite growing rhetorical support for SDM, empirical support is lacking, particularly in the area of youth mental health treatment. The absence of such research is unfortunate, given the potential for SDM to facilitate the dissemination and implementation of evidence-based treatments, and to personalize the use of established treatments to increase acceptability, retention, satisfaction, and overall effectiveness. The present project tests the feasibility and acceptability of SDM through a pilot randomized controlled trial of 40 youths (ages 7-15) meeting diagnostic criteria for an anxiety or depressive disorder. The trial will compare an evidence-based treatment that is planned collaboratively with youths and caregivers using the SDM protocol, to an evidence-based treatment that is planned by the clinician and supervisor using pretreatment assessment data. Eligible youths will received up to 26 treatment sessions at no cost and complete assessments prior to the start of treatment, at the end of treatment, and six months following the end of treatment.
This study compares the effectiveness of an 8-week mindfulness-based intervention (Mindfulness Training for Primary Care[MTPC]) vs. a low-dose mindfulness comparator on self-regulation targets, specifically the primary outcome of emotion regulation. Secondary outcomes include sustained attention/response inhibition and interoceptive awareness. A secondary analysis will investigate the extent to which these self-regulation targets mediate the impact of MTPC group on action plan initiation.
Psychotherapy is one of the cornerstones of mental health services. It is provided by psychiatrist, psychologists and psychiatric social worker in both hospital and out-patient services, and is assumed to require massive manpower and training inputs. Internationally, the clinical outcomes of routine mental health services are rarely recorded or reported. However, a rough estimation is that half (40-60%) of all psychotherapies have a favorable clinical outcome. Recently (Clark et al, 2017), the English Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) Program, which delivers psychotherapies to more than 537 000 patients in the UK each year, indicated that 44% of the patients recovered, and 62%- improved. Consistent with a causal model, most organizational factors also predicted between-year changes in outcome, together accounting for 33% of variance in reliable improvement and 22% for reliable recovery. The proposed study aims at dramatically improving the yield of psychotherapies in the Mental Health Services by combining monitoring and patient-therapist matching strategies. The first will be achieved by implementing Routine Outcome Monitoring (ROM), and the second- by applying a patient-therapist match-re-match procedure during psychotherapy
Major depression and anxiety disorders are leading causes of disability worldwide. These mental disorders deeply impact social functioning and physical health in more than 300,000-600,000 Canadians over the age of 60. Depressed and anxious older adults have a 2-3 times increased risk of developing dementia and cognitive decline. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) is a group meditation intervention that has been beneficial in treating depression and anxiety in younger adults. Our research group has experience conducting clinical trials of MBCT in older adults with depression and anxiety. Meditation therapies may prevent cognitive decline, but no previous study has examined this with MBCT. In this 8-week clinical trial, Investigators are examining whether MBCT can strengthen the structural and functional integrity of brain networks and improve cognitive resilience in vulnerable depressed and anxious older adults. Investigators will also examine whether MBCT can improve depression, anxiety symptoms, disability, and quality of life in patients. Investigators will conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT), comparing Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT; n=15) versus a Health Enhancement Program (HEP; n=15) active control in 30 older patients (>60) with depression or anxiety. Participants will be blinded to the treatment hypothesis while investigators and raters will be additionally blinded to group assignment. Both MBCT and HEP will be taught in weekly sessions over 8 weeks in similar sized groups (4-10 participants). Investigators will measure the effect of these interventions on brain network function and structure using magnetic resonance imaging at baseline and 8-week timepoints. Investigators will also assess cognitive functioning and a range of clinical symptoms/quality of life measures at baseline, 8-week and 6-month follow-up. Investigators anticipate that this project will improve quality of life in depressed and anxious older adults by enhancing brain resilience, cognitive function, and general mental health. This project will provides essential pilot data for a longer-term definitive neuroimaging trial of MBCT to assess the potential of this intervention to prevent cognitive decline and dementia in older adults.
Although it seems obvious that the high level of preoperative anxiety may affect intraoperative anaesthetic requirements and recovery adversely, there are several contradictory studies about this subject. Furthermore, the effects of anxiolytic premedication are actually disputed: sedative premedication is widely administered but little clinical evidence supports its use. We want to evaluate the effects of pre-procedure anxiety for propofol needs in patients receiving general anaesthetic procedure. We also want to know if premedication is useful according to the preoperative anxiety level, in order to determine if a sub-group of patients benefit from it.

It’s a common occurrence– two people witness an accident and give wildly different reports to the police.
Apparently the same phenomenon occurs when two people visit a city, a landmark, a museum or a park. Mark and I look at the same thing have ridiculously different opinions on what was most fascinating.
Case in point, our visit to the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
The Corvette assembly line was precision work at its best. Amazingly, in this day of liability issues, Corvette allowed us on the plant floor with no barriers between us and the robots and humans working on the line.
The new aluminum frame is being used is 96 lbs lighter and stronger than any other frame used to date. Many cars were custom order, and got specific attention every station on the assembly line. If it was a performance Corvette or if it was a convertible, it was spelled out for each assembly line point by a document attached to the front of the car.
I was fascinated by the rapid coordination of putting parts together, especially when the body was lowered to the chassis. I noticed what look like an over-sized computer fan on the rear driver’s side. I found out that this is a cooling fan for the transmission. Another interesting add-on for the performance cars was what looked like a huge hard drive attached to the front driver’s side. Turns out this part controls the suspension.
The job i want is the person who gets to start the car for the first time as it comes off the line, then drives it to the testing area…brand new tires squeaking all the way. The Corvette is tested for leaks in a rain room inside the factory and sent onto a track for road tests outside.
We were not allowed to take cameras (or cell phones) into the plant, so the only photo I have is standing out front with two display cars.
Why oh why in the name of all that’s holy would anyone put a peach-colored roof on a cherry red convertible? As I stood on the factory floor, wincing from the clashing colors, the woman next to me said, “Boy, they found a way to make it ugly, didn’t they?”
Personally, I am partial to the 1950s original – a shiny white Corvette with a red interior.
I was fascinated by the various jobs on the line, and the fact that at least half the jobs were done by women. My favorite was the gal in hot pink tennis shoes whose job was to close the car door then use a strait edge to make sure the door was perfectly flush with the body.
The factory missed an opportunity with their gift shop. Lame. But I assume there are more things for Corvette fans to buy at the National Corvette Museum,
located about a mile away. In February, a sinkhole opened up in the middle of that museum and eight vintage Corvettes fell in and were damaged beyond repair. See video.

She Hit Me First! By Robert Mossi Alexander (Cover Art)
Yo, this is a new middle grade book written by author Robert Mossi Alexander (Can’t Let Nobody Ride My Bike) that I illustrated and designed the cover for. Rob is a great writer who has written s a short and introspective piece about growing up, the cycle of violence, healing, and being a positive change. He also collaborated on the book with his daughter Lauryn Taylor Alexander who created the majority of the art for the book via chapter illustrations.
Here’s the synopsis of the book from Rob:
Jamillah is an upbeat preteen who desires a better life. She longs for real friendship but seems to keep spoiling her chances by hitting anyone who comes close. She also wants a good life for her mum and sister, but every time she tries, it doesn’t end well. Fortunately, she meets a classmate-who wants to be friends with her-and has a teacher, who both help her to deal with her habit of hitting people. Still, it doesn’t end there-a lot more trouble, and adventure awaits Jamillah as she makes attempts to show kindness to others and to change her world for the better.An intriguing tale of self-discovery, support, and determination, She Hit Me First is a book that uses great story-telling to inspire readers to believe that no matter the circumstances, one can still create positive change in the world.

Anyone cured their own bacon and how did it go?
Posted 12 June 2017 - 05:28 am
I used to make bacon out of a whole belly, cut it into three and use a brining mixture of salt and sugar. Salt the three pieces and place them in the crisper draw of the fridge and alternate and drain them every day, 123, 231, 312 etc; It was lovely, none of the white gunk when fried and did not shrink to nothing when crisped in the pan. Bonus was it only took around 4 days to make.

A name. I start January with the desire to name this humble blog.
Which begs the question, “what is this blog about? What will I write about? Would I go deeper on the theme of “win markets”, which is what I am most known for? Will I continue to wander about as I have for some 9 months now? Or is there some new ground to cover?
And all that got me thinking on the central question: Why?
As in: Why. Am. I. Doing. This.
I am now a free agent exploring “what’s next”. This blog started as a way to simply explore. I am simply unspooling the ribbons of interests. And yet I sense that there is a weave or pattern that the ribbons belong to…
And, out of the corner of my eye, I spot a book on my shelf called “This I Believe” (you might recognize the NPR-related theme) which informs what follows:
This I believe.
– I believe in the power of stories as maps.
– I believe in the power of the question.
– I believe in the power of Doing.
– I believe that work can be power-filling.
– I believe that opportunities come many times.
– I believe the power of today’s creative act.
– I believe that we co-create the future.
I believe in the power of stories. Stories are like Maps. They point to directions and paths that we might not have seen if not well marked. I share my stories, and my goal is to enable others to be emboldened to share theirs. Stories told as they are happening is a way of seeing the imperfect, raw, and often tenuous ways that outcomes are shaped. When any decision is seen in retrospect, we can say “of course” but that’s rarely how it feels at the time. I did a very transparent process of sharing the Rubicon closure story over the course of a year, in the hopes that perhaps it will be informative to others and knowing that how I tell the story years from now will be different than the steps on the journey. This blog can then be a learning journey of stories – yours and mine.
– I believe in the power of the question. I have often thought that my best role as an advisor over these many years is simply to ask a good question. But I notice many contemporaries taking up air space and dominating panels or lecterns. I stick by this truth: It is insufficient for me to have an idea that could help you/your company to win if you don’t see the idea as clearly and ultimately own it as your own. Knowing is simply smart but asking so others learn and come to their own clarity is wise. I want this blog to be a place where we pose as many questions as answers, to create learning and, with any luck, wisdom.
– I believe in the power of Doing. Many people know a lot. But they don’t live what they say they know. We all know leaders need to inspire and writers gotta write. But is in the leading that causes leaders to have followers, and in the writing itself that causes writers to communicate and connect. So it is in our doing that any of our aspirations and beliefs take form. Doing is the action. Doing is the opposite of the people who can refute any point, and spend time finding the flaw in any argument. Doing is the people who start their comments and contributions with “and…”. I want us to close our own knowing-doing gaps (that Jeffrey Pfeffer named so well), because it is in the doing that value is created. I don’t want the voice of this blog to be as a pundit or a guru but rather an earthy practitioner caught up in the doing of good work, the creation of value with others, and always helping others to do the same. I want this blog to offer ideas to bridge knowing-doing gaps.
– I believe that work can be power-filling. Most of us spend majority of our waking hours at work, yet most cannot describe it as a fulfilling act where they get to offer their unique gifts, and collaborate to create value with others. Entrepreneurs and start-ups offer us some clues to decode; they often do describe work in this power-filled joyous way. The very concept of entrepreneurism has come to captivate our collective imagination because it shows us that work can be power-filling, creative, and value-creating. Entrepreneurs may have titles or specific roles with an organization, but that provides no limitations and the shared purpose of winning matters above all. High functioning collaborative teams I’ve worked within big organizations function much the same way. They have cultural norms that enable human beings to thrive, and thus create outstanding results. I have seen that this change doesn’t rely on a set of particular people but on a set of incentives, and rewards that enable all people to bring their full intellectual, physical, spiritual, and emotional selves into work. My background in applied economics kicks in wanting to decode what the “secret” incentives and rewards are that would allow us to duplicate the code of great work, and can be applied to any size organization. The reason I care is that I believe when we embody creativity in our problem solving and innovation processes (not as a thing we do in some offsite once in a while), we will imbue our organizations with new vitality and create the kind of high growth value we need for all enterprises. Some may scoff at this belief, which at times makes me shy to believe in it. Yet, I’ve come to see that some endeavors are worth pursuing. Whether this shift of work — to be power-filled, thriving where human beings are fully alive — happens in my lifetime is certainly an open question, but I hold onto the hope that our work settings can be reinvented to enable all human beings to be (in short) kick-ass at work. This blog will explore ideas along this vein.
– I believe that opportunities come by many times. At times, I’ve said yes to many things believing this was a “once in a lifetime opportunity”. In doing so, I have found that frenetic behavior rarely leads to greatness and I’ve almost always regretted the times where I’ve tried to do 4 things at once in the desire “do it all” and prove one self worthy. Without perspective, and a sustainable pace, ultimately high performance — meaningful performance — doesn’t happen. If a sprinter ran all training runs as sprints, his body would ultimately fail. It seems to me high-performance in life is a mix of different paces, fast and slow. Our culture reinforces a “do it all now” kind of philosophy as if one’s career is going to be over in five years and we just need make the bucks now (or write that book now) or we’ll never get the chance again. Perhaps in this way, I express my developing Francophile side and believe that work serves life and not the other way around. We want to set the pace we are setting for our life, and find that flow that allows opportunities to keep presenting themselves and then to take advantage of them, when it is right. I want to this blog to be about a life well lived.
– I believe in the power of today’s creative act. I understand how it is to be governed by fear and the past. I have run from my past and I have run towards mirages. But I now understand that every one of is creating our future right now, in the present. We could let our choices be defined by our past or our fears… Or we could see our power in the set of decisions we make ever day about who we are. I believe in the power of each choice, made consciously, and made from a position of groundedness and faith and not fear about the future or anxiety about the past. I want to speak to that creative act of choices, to help people perhaps see that even the small moments that do not seem very dramatic are very powerful…It’s the every day choices, day after day that let us climb the mountain; “step by step” as MLK once said. As Anne Lamott wrote in her book, Bird-by-Bird, we create in small steps. What each of us are creating is our own journey – but we are all on a journey and I want for everyone (all of us) to see that we are active participants in our own story as it is being developed, powerful as the author of that future…at work, in life, and with others.
So this blog direction will be about creating a space to explore how we human beings become more fully alive at work. Each of us has something to offer and create regardless of our titles, status and education. Work matters too, as it is where we spend the predominant part of our time and energy. When people are more fully alive, it shows up in all sorts of ways, ranging from personal fulfillment, to enabling great creativity and innovation, to creating winning outcomes for entire companies and industries.
I belief in the power of-co-creation. None of us learn alone, or create alone. I recognize that I bring something to this, but so do you. I bring my 20+ years of working with and in big companies like Apple and others. Included in that is the 10 years as an entrepreneur of a multi-million dollar firm, making payroll every month. Perhaps my experience as a published author of a book on collaborative work will inform some ideas. Mostly, I bring my curiosity to explore ideas that need to be explored.
I have an idea that this blog will be sparked by new ideas that no one has seen or thought of before, but especially old ideas that we have heard of, but perhaps need to be understood more fully through stories and questions. Perhaps, as we know more, and share stories and good questions, we’ll learn, grow wiser and do better. I hope it provides some sparks that ignite kick-ass-ness in each of us and in our organizations.
I hope, too, that it serves as a community, where ideas are sparked, you catch ‘em, and throw them between one another, or pass them on in your own way. I hope it will be a good journey. I hope you will be an active member in this community. I hope to learn with you.
But I am still without a name.
Will you help me find one now that I have laid open and bare my beliefs and hopes for this blog?
(I invite you to co-create this. )

The congratulatory messages flooded Oday Aboushi's Twitter page for a few days after he was drafted by the New York Jets two weeks ago.
Many were happy to see the hometown kid from the New York borough of Staten Island starting his NFL career close to his family and friends. It was the other tweets, first dozens and then hundreds, from places such as Dubai and Saudi Arabia that made the enormity of the situation really sink in.
As a Palestinian-American, the Jets' offensive lineman is a rarity in the NFL. Aboushi, drafted in the fifth round out after a standout career at the University of Virginia, is one of just a handful of players with that ethnic background.
''People weren't just talking about me being a New York Jet, but being one of the first Arab-Americans, a Palestinian-American, to be drafted. It's settling in now. It's a different feeling, one that I'm embracing and really loving.''
As are Palestinian-Americans around the country. The short list of NFL players with Pal...

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — The annual rite of spring for golf won't happen this year.
The Masters has been postponed until a later date.
Augusta National did not indicate when the Masters would be played. That means there will be no golf at least for the next month.
The Masters began in 1934 and only World War II has kept it from being played.
In a statement, Fred Ridley, Chairman of Augusta National Golf Club said that "the health and well-being of everyone associated with these events and the citizens of the Augusta community led us to this decision. We hope this postponement puts us in the best position to safely host the Masters Tournament and our amateur events at some later date."
This was the biggest shoe to drop for golf.
The PGA Tour already canceled the next three events leading up to the Masters. Tiger Woods was to be going after his sixth green jacket.

Building heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems contribute substantially to the energy consumption of buildings. Today, traditional HVAC systems mostly operate according to the maximum occupancy assumption, which in turn increases energy consumption during periods of low occupancy. Although, recently, implementing demand-driven HVAC operations are accepted as an innovate approach for reducing HVAC-related energy consumption, occupancy forecast is important to realize demand-driven HVAC operations in buildings. This study aims at using time series models in order to forecast the daily number of bank customers in a financial center of a bank, which is located in Izmir, Turkey. Data were collected from the computerized tracking system for a period of 60 weeks and two forecasting methods were used: 1) Decomposition Method, 2) Box-Jenkins Method. To determine the final model identified via the Box-Jenkins Method, goodness-of-fit, residual analysis and Akaike information criterion were taken into consideration. The results show that the SARIMA model with a MAPE of 11% yields a good occupancy forecast for supporting demand-driven HVAC operations.

Sometimes a break in the playing schedule is desirable but the recent news that the U.S. women's team has finalized two upcoming fixtures was welcome news. Given our long layoff, the games against Australia on Oct. 16 and Mexico on Oct. 23 in Fullerton, California provide a welcome respite. It's an exciting time since the team hasn't played a game since July 24. Since then myself and the others have had to do train on our own and stay self-motivated.
Compared to some of my teammates I was lucky since I live near a men's club team and trained regularly with them. If not for that, it's unlikely I'd have been able to stay in game shape for the upcoming friendlies. Don't get me wrong I would've run six days a week to compensate, but that's not enough to get a player ready for a professional soccer match. Training matches are required in order to maintain a feel for the game and to improve technique.
It's a safe assumption that the rest of the team had similar problems. Only two players played in Europe during our mini-offseason and the rest were basically independent and self-reliant for training. I imagine most of them resorted to playing with their former college teams or coaching - Shannon Boxx for instance found a group to play pickup games with.
As for the team itself, it's about to get even more competitive than normal. The players will be auditioning for a spot on the World Cup roster so the friendlies will be a key part of that ongoing evaluation process.
The game against Mexico in particular is going to be a good one. Obviously This still isn't as big a rivalry as the men's Mexico-U.S. rivalry, but it's getting there from our perspective. Mexico is starting to improve drastically and this is reflected in the results. We trailed to Mexico in one game last year before coming back to win 3-2 in overtime. Like their men's team, the Mexican women are feisty, fast and have some tenacious defenders. The Mexican team has had an infusion of speed and youth as of late and they retain a deep passion to beat us. In order to beat them, the U.S. team will have to match that passion and intensity.
MEN QUALIFY FOR WORLD CUP
While still more under the radar than I would have liked to see, it's exciting to see that the U.S. men's team has ensured qualification for the 2006 World Cup. The U.S. probably remains underrated on the world scene, there's a lot of people didn't realize how good this team was before, but now everyone knows.
Landon Donovan really stepped up for the national team in qualifying and continues to be a key goal scorer for the team. Clearly, a happy Landon Donovan plays better for the national team. What's impressed me as well is that he seems to have taken on much more of an on-field leadership role for the team.
What separates this team from past U.S. teams is the combination of youth and depth. For instance Arena was able to experiment mostly with youth in the most recent qualifier. Against Guatemala they had seven players playing in their first qualifying match. The other bonus these days is depth. In the past, an injury to a starter would really hamstring the team, but in its current incarnation, the U.S. has solid depth at most positions. Added to that the increased confidence this team shows and look for the U.S. to make a run at the World Cup, especially if keeper Kasey Keller keeps up his astounding play!

Caldwell Seed Library Opens for its second season on February 1
LENOIR, NC (January 15, 2018)…The Caldwell Seed Library will host its grand re-opening on Thursday, February 1, 2018 at 10 am. Those interested in joining the Seed Library in 2018 should consider attending the opening. Membership registration will open at 10 am, and the ribbon cutting will occur at 10:15 am. Seed Library organizers will present a brief history of the Caldwell Seed Library and explain how to become a member and check out seeds. At 10:45, there will be a drawing for garden-related door prizes donated by the Caldwell Extension Master Gardeners. All those that become members of the Seed Library will be entered to win a door prize. Winners must be present during the drawing to receive a prize. Anyone who joined the Seed Library in 2017 is asked to re-register as a member in 2018.
The Seed Library is located in the Caldwell County Public Library at 120 Hospital Ave NE in Lenoir, NC. The Seed Library opened in 2017 through collaborative efforts of community volunteers, the Caldwell County Public Library, and the N.C. Cooperative Extension- Caldwell County Center. Community members join the seed library, select their seeds, and take them home for growing. In return, those who take seeds from the seed library are asked to donate high quality, fresh seed that has been purchased or properly saved. Other seeds are donated by Caldwell County gardeners and seed savers, seed companies, and businesses that sell seeds. A group of dedicated volunteers organized the Seed Library in 2017, and have worked to maintain the inventory and seed supply. Thanks to dedicated volunteers, there is no fee to join the Seed Library or check out seeds.
The seed library opened on June 3, 2017, and over 100 people joined the Seed Library by the end of the season. Over 500 seed packets were checked out over the course of the season, and many members grew new plants they had never grown before. Caldwell Cooperative Extension hosted a seed saving workshop in August 2017 at Unity Park and Community Gardens, so that gardeners could learn how to properly save seeds and plan their gardens for seed saving. Connections were made with local seed savers, and seed from several crops that have been grown in Caldwell County families for generations were donated to the seed library.

YOU RULE CARD AND MEDAL
From Katy at farflungcards. Sells for $10. Click on the image to be taken to the shop! People should get medals for good things they do. Don't you agree? Here's the perfect way to acknowledge awesomeness and show your appreciation. The card says "you rule" on the outside, printed and hand-embellished in silver and gold inks. Inside is a medal made by me and modeled on the ones my husband earned in the Navy back in the day. (Only this one features a polka-dot ribbon and a silver metal crown). And the words "Here's a medal to prove it. Wear it in good health." Your deserving friend will love it.

The paper deals with studying the morphological changes in the tooth germs and surrounding tissues in newborn rats born with experimentally induced macrosomia. The purpose of the study was to detect morphological features of the oral mucous membrane (mucobuccal fold and cheeks); especially the tooth germs, and surrounding tissues in experimentally induced fetal macrosomia in newborn rats. Material and methods. The Wistar Albino Glaxo rats aged 1 day were used in all experiments. Four different experimental models were used for macrosomia formation. The somatometric examination of the rats (weighing, measurement of body length, and tail length) was conducted immediately before withdrawing animals from the experiment. The animals were divided in five groups (6-7 animals in each group) according to their body weight, body length, the Quetelet index at birth and model of macrosomia formation. Results and discussion. We revealed abnormalities in the morphogenesis of the tooth germs and adjacent tissues in all macrosomic rats. However, different weight-height ratios for newborn rats and different ways of macrosomia formation result in some originality of these abnormalities. Macrosomic rats born with large body length and relatively reduced body weight, had a dense network of microcirculatory bed of the oral mucosa (mucobuccal fold). These rats had a thicker layer of enamel being formed, which, however, had the signs of hypoplasia and aplasia. We also detected the thick dentin layer and the signs of odontoblast destruction. In macrosomic rats with well-balanced pre-natal development, the condition of the tooth germs and surrounding tissues was close to that in the control group. But we found a significant decrease in the number of odontoblasts in the peripheral layer of the pulp in the dental papilla. We observed a modified microcirculatory bed of the oral mucosa, thinner than in the control group layers of enamel and dentin, and signs of immaturity of odontoblasts in macrosomic rats born with signs of intrauterine obesity. Conclusion. High weight at birth can be an integral indicator of the presence of various disorders in the morphogenesis of the tooth germ and tissues that surround the tooth germ. The dominance of pre-natal obesity or pre-natal accelerated body growth, or the well-balanced acceleration of body weight and height gain, has its own characteristics in the microscopic picture of tooth development in the newborn period.

Lebron and Wade also surpassed… Butler: “It’s nothing, I’ll do everything to win”
It’s not a ‘playoff Jimmy’ for nothing. You got the alias value right.
Jimmy Butler drove the Milwaukee Bucks, the No. 1 seed in the league, to the brink of being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. Miami, which went through the play-in tournament and managed to win the 8th seed in the East, is overwhelming the series 3-1.
Butler is in the center. Miami is an injury ward. During the playoffs, Tyler Hiro broke his right hand and Victor Oladipo was out for the season with a knee injury. Snake Adebayo has bad hamstrings.
Butler also runs with hip pain. Nevertheless, he leads the team, saying, “I will do anything to win. I will only worry about it later after the game.”
This regular season, Butler is averaging 22.9 points. In the playoffs, it increased significantly to 36.5 points per game. The field goal success rate increased from 53.9% to 62.8%, and the 3-point success rate rose from 35% to 52.9%.
In particular, in the 4th game against Milwaukee, he led Miami to a double victory with a one-man show of 56 points and 9 rebounds. On this day, Butler put in a shot even if ‘Monster’ Giannis Antetokounmpo was in front and the best backcourt defender in the league, Zhuru Halladay, blocked it.
It was the most points scored in a single playoff game by a Miami player. Dwyane Wade, who led the team to its first championship, and LeBron James, who won two consecutive finals, both surpassed them.
Even in the NBA as a whole, Michael Jordan (63 points), Elgin Baylor (61 points), scored more points in a single playoff game than Butler,
Butler’s nickname, “playoff Jimmy,” was mentioned in the postgame press conference. Butler smiled and shook his head. “It’s nothing. I just played with the hope that we could win,” he confessed.
He cited competitive spirit as the reason why he was particularly strong in the playoffs. “I love competing. The playoffs are where the best guys come together. I’m not saying I’m one of them. I just want to fight them and be the best. I really love the playoffs.” ㅋㅋㅋ벳
He also showed his desire to win. He is called the man of the playoffs, but he has yet to win the finals.
“I think there’s a reason Pet Riley and coach Eric Spoelstra brought me to Miami,” Butler said. “Winning is part of that reason. I want to do everything to win with everyone in Miami.” chopped up


On Wednesday, Modi Ji took to Twitter to congratulate Aanchal Thakur for winning India's first medal at an global skiing event.
Meanwhile, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi also congratulated the athlete as he tweeted: "Well done @alleaanchal for winning an worldwide medal in skiing!". As reported by Times of India, Aanchal expressed herself after winning the medal and said, "Months of training have finally borne fruit".
The response to her bronze medal-winning performance in Turkey has been overwhelming, to say the least.
Earlier on Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Minister of State for Sports and Youth Affairs Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore also congratulated Aanchal on winning India's first worldwide medal in skiing. On Tuesday, 21-year-old Aanchal won this medal in a competition organized at PalanDoken Ski Center. "Wishing you the very best for your future endeavours".
"I never thought the Prime Minister would tweet for me".

Serie A Side Mull Daniel Sturridge Swoop, Striker Wants Game Time
Inter manager Luciano Spalletti is looking for a quality forward to improve club's chances in Champions League' spot battle. The Reds are likely to believe Sturridge is worth a considerable amount, given his ability and reputation in the game.
Initially her father taught her ropes and later Heera Lal - a former Olympian, honed her skills.
"I have been skiing in Europe since I was in seventh grade".
"This is a breakthrough for the sport in India and the entire skiing fraternity is proud of her achievement", her father said.
Just the equipment required by a professional skier costs around Rs 5 to 10 lakh.
While her brother Himanshu is closer to the qualification mark, making the Winter Games cut seems unlikely for Aanchal. I have to see if I can get the visa for that.
"I hope Aanchal's medal helps our cause (in getting financial support from the Centre)".
