The Amadeus code
Forget Leonardo da Vinci: sleuths looking for hidden messages in art will find plenty in classical music, which is full of mystery and cryptic clues, writes Matthew Westwood
DAN Brown's breathless quest for the secrets of the Holy Grail in The Da Vinci Code cleverly patched together gossip and curiosities from the visual arts. Had the story taken another turn, it could easily have followed a path of mystery and mysticism in classical music. The music world is no less a fertile place for cryptograms, hidden messages, secret societies and weird religion. And so many of the great composers could have a role to play: J.S. Bach, Edward Elgar, Alban Berg and, of course, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
The story could still have started in Paris, at the end of the 19th century, with the eccentric and truly inventive composer, Erik Satie, best known for his piano miniatures, his strange and haunting Gymnopedies and Gnossiennes. Less known is his involvement with the cult of Rosicrucianism and its self-styled "Sar" or priest-king, Joseph-Aime Peladan. The Rosicrucians were a secret society with roots in the medieval Priory of Sion and the Knights Templar, organisations well known to readers of Brown's tale.
Another French composer, Claude Debussy, may also have met Peladan, and was even rumoured to have been a grand master of the Priory of Sion.
Fin-de-siecle Paris was a hotbed of mysticism, symbolism and the decadence espoused in such influential books as Joris-Karl Huysmans's Against Nature. Indeed, much of the Rosicrucianism of Satie's circle was a quest for a new aesthetic, and Satie's own contribution included incidental music for a mystical drama, and piano pieces composed of solemn, liturgical-sounding chords. According to one analysis, Satie structured some of his Rose+Croix pieces in accord with the so-called divine ratio: the number denoted by the Greek letter phi, that is thought to give especially pleasing or auspicious dimensions.
Satie's infatuation with Rosicrucianism was short-lived however, and the composer broke with the Sar and invented his own religion, the Metropolitan Church of Art of Jesus the Leader, with a congregation of just one: himself.
Composers through the ages have embedded codes in their music, both for the purpose of secret communication and private amusement. Music and cryptography - the science of codes - are often said to be closely aligned, as both disciplines rely on communication through symbols. Indeed, the ability to read music was a desirable skill for Britain's Nazi code-breakers in World War II.
The composer best known for inserting extra-musical ideas into his work was Bach. He signed his compositions "Soli Dei Gloria" - to the glory of God alone - but he also signed within his works a tribute to himself, using the letters of his surname. In English notation, only the letters A to G are used in the musical scale; in German, the letter H denotes B-natural. So Bach was able to sign his own name, with the notes B-A-C-H, in such magisterial works as The Art of Fugue.
Other composers took to this idea of musical Scrabble. The Irish composer John Field wrote melodies on the themes of B-E-E-F and C-A-B-B-A-G-E; the pious Frenchman, Olivier Messiaen, used entire quotations from Thomas Aquinas in his organ work, Meditations on the Mystery of the Holy Trinity.
Elgar's Variations on an Original Theme are more popularly known as the Enigma Variations because of the wordplay therein. The 14 variations are musical sketches of Elgar's friends, and the title of each holds the key. The best-known variation - its noble theme is widely used in film scores - is the Nimrod, for the music publisher and Elgar's best friend, August Johannes Jaeger. Puzzle solved: Jaeger means hunter in German; Nimrod was the mighty hunter of mythology.
Numbers, too, figure heavily in music. Those with sacred associations - such as three for the trinity, or 12 for the apostles - appear again and again: in three-note motifs, for example, or in the key of E-flat major, which has three flats.
In the 20th century, when composers broke with convention in search of new means of musical expression, number-crunching became more prominent. Bela Bartok's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste uses the Fibonacci sequence, in which each number in the series is the sum of the two before. Later composers such as Iannis Xenakis would use ever more sophisticated methods.
The musical modernists of the Second Viennese School in the early 20th century were highly analytical in musical thought yet, oddly enough, deeply superstitious of numbers. Arnold Schoenberg, the inventor of 12-tone serialism, was triskaidekaphobic: afraid of the number 13. It's not clear that this influenced his music, but he changed the name Aaron to Aron in his opera Moses und Aron so the title would not have 13 letters.
His pupil Alban Berg was even more carried away. Berg was paranoid about the number 23, stemming from the date of his first asthma attack, at the age of 14, on July 23, 1900. This "fateful" number recurs in works such as the Lyric Suite, the opera Lulu and his Violin Concerto, and is often paired with the number 10. That number, musical detectives believe, is a symbol for Hanna Fuchs, the woman with whom Berg had an adulterous affair.
The very act of playing a musical instrument involves patterns of numbers and nature's own codes.
In the sixth century BC the Greek mathematician Pythagoras discovered the relationships between notes in the musical scale. A plucked string, when divided in half, he found, will sound an octave higher. Divided by two-thirds, it will produce a note a fifth higher. All the instruments in the modern symphony orchestra - violins, flutes, trumpets - work according to the same fundamental principle.
Pythagoras's discovery had such pleasing elegance that his followers believed the same properties could be found elsewhere in nature. It was thought, for example, that the planets charted their course in the heavens according to similarly harmonious rules, hence the "music of the spheres".
The recent discovery that the Perseus galaxy, some 250 million light years away, emits the very deep note of B-flat adds a tantalising detail to the idea of a celestial harmony.
But Western music couldn't live with the idea of a perfect Pythagorean universe. As people started to impose their creative will on nature, and compositions became more complex - using, of all things, chords! - instruments tuned in the Pythagorean way sounded shockingly out of tune.
Alternative methods were developed to overcome this. One of them was championed, perhaps invented, by Bach, who showcased the system in his collection of preludes and fugues, The Well-Tempered Clavier.
Mozart, whose 250th birthday falls this year, is the composer best known for his involvement with secret societies. He became a Freemason in December 1784, and many of his musical works bear the hallmarks of the "Craft". His Meistermusik, for example, is some of his most beautiful for male voices, and Masons later set their texts to other pieces by the composer.
Freemasonry is a quasi-religious movement guided by principles of fraternity. It has its origins in the ancient guilds of stonemasons, and uses the symbols of masons' tools - the square and compass, for example - as metaphors for self-improvement: God is regarded as the divine architect of the universe.
The movement requires only that its brothers be men, and that they follow a monotheistic religion, Judaism, Christianity or Islam.
The Magic Flute, completed in 1791, the year Mozart died, was not written for Masonic ceremony but daringly took its symbols into the domain of the public opera house. As Goethe, another Freemason, wrote: "It is enough that the crowd should find pleasure in seeing the spectacle: at the same time, its high significance will not escape the initiates."
Freemasonry had flourished in Vienna in the late 18th century but was under threat: the movement was condemned by the Empress Maria Theresa (the character of Queen of the Night is sometimes said to represent her), was suspected of being involved in the French revolution, and rival lodges were being formed that allowed women as members. The Magic Flute is, in many ways, a public relations campaign for Freemasonry.
There are many symbols that Masons would recognise in the Flute. The number three is prevalent - in the key of E-flat, in the three boys, in the three-note motifs said to echo the secret Masonic "knock". It refers to the three pillars of the Masonic temple: wisdom, beauty and strength.
Characters would be understood as taking part in a Masonic drama: the prince Tamino is the new initiate who must go through a ritual purification; Sarastro is the Persian prophet Zoroaster; the Queen of the Night refers to the realm of darkness and ignorance; the moor Monostatos is said to refer to the assassin of King Solomon's architect, Hiram.
The Flute can be read as a parable of the triumph of light over darkness, an end to superstition and the beginning of a new age of peace.
Freemasonry is implicated in the circumstances surrounding Mozart's death, but not with the suspicion that was levelled at rival composer Antonio Salieri in the film Amadeus. In his book Mozart's Last Year, H.C. Robbins Landon writes that the composer contracted a streptococcal infection at a Masonic lodge meeting in November 1791, which exacerbated his poor state of health. He certainly wasn't murdered.
Nor were his family left unaided: Masons have always looked after the families of their brothers, Robbins Landon writes, and it appears they did so with Constanze Mozart. The lodge raised money for Constanze by subscription, although the Masons themselves were on the way out: Freemasonry ceased to exist in Austria in 1794.
So no suspicious circumstances there - just the enduring mystery of the wonder of Mozart's magical music.
Opera Australia's new production of The Magic Flute is in repertoire at the Sydney Opera House, February 20 to April 1.

Los mapaches con cacahuates; también fotos de los cuervos y venados
Posted by DavidMitchell under West Marin nature, Wildlife
No Comments
A mother raccoon guards her two kits while they eat peanuts (cacahuates) off my deck.
My former wife Ana Carolina in Guatemala refers to raccoons as "mapaches," which is the name the Spanish colonists gave them.
The word was taken from the Nahuati word "mapachitli," meaning "one who takes everything in its hands." Nahua was the language of the ancient Aztecs and is still spoken in Central Mexico.
The mother raccoon (right rear) comes to my kitchen door each evening and stands on her hind legs so I will see her and put out food. But when I open the door to do so, she quickly backs away and begins a low growl. Her message is obvious: "Make sure you don't get too close to my kits!"
The English word "raccoon" comes from the Virginia Algonquian word "aroughcun," which is also spelled "arathkone." The language, a subgroup of the Algonquian language, died out in the 1790s.
The kits are are far less skittish around me than their mother is unless I make a quick movement.
Historical curiosity: The first written description of raccoons was made by Christopher Columbus, who in 1492 discovered them on his expedition to the New World.
Many fledglings after first leaving the nest want to be fed as if they were still in it. On the railing of my deck, this young crow ("cuervo" en español) caws incessantly and holds its mouth open in hopes the parent will feed it birdseed — even though the youngster is standing in birdseed.
Crows are smaller than ravens although at a distance it's hard to gauge their sizes. The most obvious difference is in their tails when the birds are in flight. The tail feathers of a raven form a wedge shape while the tail feathers of a crow are almost straight across.
Young bucks sparring next to my cabin. These young blacktails are not trying to hurt each other but to establish dominance. Does prefer to mate with the stronger buck. From an evolutionary standpoint, this passes along the genes of the hardier deer ("venado" en español), which helps ensure the survival of the species.
Así que ahora ustedes tiene la lección de esta semana sobre los mapaches, cuervos, venados y la lengua española. Estudien mucho y no gasten dinero en Arizona.

COLUMBIA — People shampoo their hair because hair collects scalp oil. Local hair stylists are betting hair will soak up oil in the Gulf of Mexico, too.
"Why should millions of pounds of absorbent, natural, renewable hair, fur, fleece clippings go to waste?" states the website for Matter of Trust, the organization spearheading this effort.
Phil McCrory invented the hair boom in 1989 after watching news coverage of the Exxon Valdez oil spill. He now works for OttiMat, which makes mats out of human hair to help prevent the damage caused by oil spills.
Lisa Gautier established Matter of Trust in 1998, and one of its many environmental projects is the "Gulf Spill Hair Boom Program." Volunteers stuff nylons with hair and then cover the boom in mesh. The booms help absorb oil in the water of on the beach.
For videos and photos of the project, click here.
BP took a different position and announced May 21 that it would not use hair booms.
"We had lots of offers, and the Coast Guard has had lots of offers from people around the country collecting hair," BP spokesman Robert Wine said. "But unfortunately it just isn't practical."
According to a news release, BP's Government and Public Affairs department contacted Matter of Trust on May 21 and informed the organization BP had enough of its own synthetic booms.
BP's response has not hindered volunteers, who continued to send hair clippings to Matter of Trust.
"It's our country," said Audrey Ray, stylist at High Maintenance Salon in Columbia. "If we want to keep it clean, then getting that oil up is one of the most important things we can do."
Municipalities and harbors that have hazardous waste disposal plans in place deploy the hair booms, according to Matter of Trust's website. Oily booms are either incinerated or disposed in landfills.
The nonprofit organization has 19 warehouses along the Gulf and one warehouse in San Francisco. Lisa Gautier, president and executive director of Matter of Trust, said it has more than 650 volunteers and has received donations from across the nation and 30 other countries.
"This is a marathon, not a sprint," Gautier said. "The spill just keeps going on."
Matter of Trust uses the hair, fur and fleece of any length to make booms, floating barriers meant to hold back oil floating on the water's surface and to protect the shoreline.
Gautier said Wednesday that the warehouses are full, and the organization will shift its focus to deploying the hair booms. The website states there is enough hair to make 25 miles of boom.
Gautier said she visited the Fort Walton, Fla., warehouse, where the sand on the beach was like "powered sugar." She witnessed the waves there change from blue-green to black.
"I saw a plume come in like a serpent, black wave after black wave," Gautier said.
It's images like that which prompted Alexis Albright, a University of Missouri sophomore and Miss Columbia 2010, to get involved. She brought empty boxes to 10 Columbia hair salons in early June and picked up hair-filled boxes a week later.
"We ended up with 12 boxes total," Albright said. "I was really pleased."
Albright first heard about Matter of Trust on the radio. She became "fascinated" with the organization and realized collecting hair would be a simple way to help the clean-up effort.
"I know that it's hard for the average person to help with such a huge crisis without actually going there," Albright said. "It's a way for each person to be able to help out a little bit without spending a lot of money or having to go there physically. It was just a unique way to help with the oil spill."
Rose Ditter, owner of KeLani Salon and Spa, continued collecting hair after working with Albright.
"I think it's important that we all help in whatever way we're able to," Ditter said.
Salon Adair and Spa fills up a couple trash bags a month with hair. Stylist Zachary Dewey tells all of his clients before starting their haircuts about where their hair is going.
The oil spill "affects all of us," Dewey said. "Every little bit helps."
Stylists at the Clip Joint's downtown location have also been saving hair ever since Albright approached them. Laura Cox said the Clip Joint would hold on to hair clippings until Matter of Trust needs them again.
"We just want to soak up the oil as soon as possible," Cox said. "Everyone knows this is a huge disaster, so anything we can do helps."

The field was swept with the torment of agony. A lone figure stood, high and heavy above the strewn debris, the blood and tears, the dark, silent mass of oblivion. He was silent for many moments, letting the wind whistle around his armor, the fading light shoot in streams around his hunched shoulders. A second figure approached him. "Sir?" He raised his head, slowly. Sir. A lieutenant addressed him. No matter. It was always sir, lord, my liege. Thank ye thank ye thank ye. "We're ready to go, sir. Whenever you're ready." He looked down. "Just a second." "Sure. Take all the time you need." Presently, the man left. And Falcone, sighing, bent down and lifted the object at his feet. A feryncite cube, gleaming with a crystal lattice, and reinforced with inch-thick bands, which shifted ever so slightly to expose a seam as he beamed the combination. He pulled at the break, folded it away, and reached inside the container to withdraw the tiny implant chip within. He held it in his palm, staring, for several moments, then resigned himself to his duty. He gently socketed the plug into the slot behind his ear. Instantly, the dour old voice was there. [Took you long enough. Slowing down, old man?] He closed his eyes. "You okay?" [I function without error. As always. Of you humans, though, I am unsure.] Three seconds in and he was already regretting it. "That's not what I-" [You fool-] "Shut up, Duran-idiot. Damage. Are you damaged?" [Nothing can damage me. Durandal Durandum Beowulf Gilgamesh-] "Shut- UP! You are not invincible. Immortality does not prevent you from damage. For either of us. Now- ARE YOU DAMAGED?" There was a prolonged silence. Yeah, chew on that, you son of a bitch. This isn't the Marathon anymore. I'm the one in charge. Finally: [Only some small data corruption from particle effects. Backup and rerouting prevented any loss.] And then, peevishly: [I liked you much better as Wiglif.] "So did I. At least that time you died before I did. I'm tired of you outliving me. Okay, back in your hole. We'll reactivate you when we reach the base. Hopefully, without me around. Christ, I hope this was worth it." [The Covenant seem to have thought so. I'm looking forward to sparring with their comptroller.] [Goodbye, dearie.] Falcone pulled out the socket with a jerk, replaced it with a dust-plug, and dropped the chip unceremoniously back in the cube. He locked it, tucked it under his arm, and trotted back to the column of Marines- found the baggage car and tossed it aboard, enjoying the sound it made. He bellowed to start moving and found a place at the front. As he began to walk, he could not help smiling a little. Here we go again. Five miles overhead, in the Covenant overwatch ship skimming the atmosphere, an Elite was blurring down the halls and corridors of the twisted ship. Sprinting at full speed into the control room, it waved a portable AI terminal desperately as it smashed into the commander. It gasped. "IT'S HIM."

NCAA football is tied with the MLB for the second most popular sport in America. I think that's based off of ratings, don't have the stats right in front of me. But, for instance the BCSCG was the highest rated cable program in two years, since the first BCSCG on cable.
Point is, it ain't broken and I'm not sure what kind of self loathing Alabama fan someone has to be to be like man this BCS stuff is really messed up, let's hurry up and change it to something more random (quoting a playoff supporter who applauded that a playoff would at least make things more random) because I hate these results.
March madness is awesome. But that's the problem. They are known for their postseason and only die hard fans even follow the regular season. And, yes, CFB is now the second most popular sport in America.
And, even the NFL regular season ratings are down this year following a 9-7 team winning the Super Bowl.
Until the FBS is "fixed", any playoff involving 120+ teams is merely to appease some fans. IOW, "I'm not really doin' nothing, but it looks good". Moving the problem around and fixing it are two different things.
If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, we did it. If anything goes really good, then you did it. That's all it takes to get people to win football games for you. - Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant
I still don't buy the "the regular season wont mean much" theory on the playoffs. Because there are no guaranteed spots the regular season is still VERY MUCH important. If we don't continue to win we will not be in the playoffs just like the BCS now. So what is changed? Only now we get a better title game because 4 teams have to PROVE it on the field against each other rather than say "our conference is better".
Most of the teams that have won the BCSCG would have probably won a 4 team playoff as well. So yet again, why is the playoffs so bad? I still say 8 teams is the best venture and we can't really go any higher so there goes the argument about "we have 4, now we need 8, then we need 16, 32, etc."
College basketball didn't get the ratings before March Madness started, and probably didn't get the ratings in title games that it gets now due to their playoff. And don't sell CBB short, outside of the South it is widely watched. In the North/East Coast it is just as big as football is to us.
I cannot believe this debate about playoffs has gone on and not one person has posted a video of Jim Mora.
Due to the current workload, the light at the end of the tunnel will be temporarily turned off.
I'll still sing it loud... need 5 conference winners (SEC, Pac12, Big10, Big12, ACC) and 3 at-large teams for an 8 game playoff. Hammer and 4 nails. Done.
I know what it takes to win. If I can sell them on what it takes to win, then we are not going to lose too many football games. - Coach Paul Bryant and I can see Coach Nick Saban agreeing completely.
I am not sure who will be in charge of the bowl system after next year, but you can bet the ranch however it turns out will be driven by dollars. I said before that the 4 team playoff will have a short life expectancy, look for the expansion to 8 teams within the next 5 years.
I have been a CFB fan for longer than a lot of posters on here have been alive, but the changes I see coming do not bode well for CFB unless turning it into NFL Lite is the motive. I will always watch Alabama and probably most of the SEC teams, but outside of that I have little interest in CFB anymore.

GMC Sierra 2500 Replacement Fuel Pump Information
When you will be going off the beaten path, making the right choice the first time is simple when you consider the GMC Sierra 2500 which provides roominess combined with a sleek style. With genuine GMC, you get attractive lines plus also famous endurance. When gas saving capabilities and long lasting performance are required for your regular commute, consumers trust vehicles built by GMC. When contemplating sturdy build and long lasting performance you want a stylish car from GMC. When consumers need performance and durability they turn to vehicles engineered by GMC. Although fast cars, such as a GMC Sierra 2500 or others like it, aren't known for being gas savers they are a blast to drive anywhere. For understated style at a less expensive price, consumers count on GMC to provide their car requirements. Buying a luxury car often means more costs, and not just right off the bat, but also throughout the life of the car and should be kept in mind when you think about buying a vehicle like the GMC Sierra 2500. From their earliest years GMC has been recognized as a car maker that puts passenger protection and quality above all else. A GMC Sierra 2500 is a high-performance vehicle and it requires top quality aftermarket and OEM parts. Auto enthusiasts who love performance vehicles recognize that there's nothing more crucial than installing the best aftermarket parts and accessories. A GMC Sierra 2500 Fuel Pump helps force gas from the fuel tank to the vehicle's motor, where it's mixed with oxygen for combustion in the cylinders. GMC Sierra 2500 Fuel Pumps are placed in the fuel tank; being as liquid gasoline isn't flammable, this is the safest position for installation. Because electronic fuel injectors have virtually supplanted old carburetion systems, the latest GMC Sierra 2500 Fuel Pumps need to deliver fuel under pressure; they are thus electronic. Your GMC Sierra 2500 Fuel Pump is an apparatus that works to draw fuel out of the tank to the engine. A GMC Sierra 2500 Fuel Pump pumps air the fuel system to move fuel out of the gas reservoir into the motor.
They are available for the following GMC Sierra 2500 years: 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99. This part is also sometimes called GMC Sierra 2500 Gas Pumps. We stock fuel pump parts for most GMC models including Sierra 1500, Jimmy, Sonoma, Yukon, Yukon XL 1500, Safari, Envoy, Sierra 2500 HD, C1500, K1500, C1500 Suburban, Savana 3500, Savana 1500, Sierra 3500, K1500 Suburban, Canyon, K2500, Savana 2500, Sierra 1500 HD, Yukon XL 2500, K3500, K2500 Suburban, C3500, S15 Jimmy, Acadia, C2500, Sierra C3, R1500, C7500 Topkick, P3500, S15, C7000, C6000 Topkick, C6500 Topkick, G2500, V3500, Syclone, Sierra 3500 HD, R3500 and 1000 Series.
We stock these Fuel Pump brands for the GMC Sierra 2500: Airtex, Denso, Delphi, Action Crash, Autobest and Replacement.
04 2004 GMC Sierra 2500 Electronic Control Unit A1 Cardone
00 2000 GMC Sierra 2500 Fuel Filter Bosch
03 2003 GMC Sierra 2500 Fuel Level Sending Unit Dorman
03 2003 GMC Sierra 2500 4WD Fuel Tank Cap Gates - Extended Cab Pickup
This fuel pump was one hundred dollars cheaper than my local parts store. Also it was the same brand Airtex. It was the exact replacement for my GMC truck. Shipping was fast and also free. Great value and I will consider ordering in the future if time is not a facter.

Comments about Martin MSP4250 SP Phosphor Bluegrass Medium Acoustic Guitar Strings:
I have used the Martin SP strings for years and thought I would give these a try. Not disappointed at all. The tone of my Martin D-1 has always been good but these strings make a great sound even better.
Comments about Martin MSP4250 SP Phosphor Bluegrass Medium Acoustic Guitar Strings:
Give them a shot. Just be aware that a change in string size may require adjustments to your guitar's action
Great balance. Increased volume on my Martin d-16A without stripping tone.
These seem to last.
Comments about Martin MSP4250 SP Phosphor Bluegrass Medium Acoustic Guitar Strings:
My Martin HD28 finally arrived in all its glory and splendor. Within a day I noticed some fret buzz, so I proceeded to raise the bridge a tad and remove the factory strings (replacing them with D'Addario phospher bronze lights). Big mistake!! Now mind you, the D'Addarios sound great on my Yamaha DW-4S and my Epiphone EJ200, but my Martin lost a ton of volume and STILL had a bit of fret buzz. Needless to say I was a bit nervous as I tried in vain to get the loud, punchy sound out of my Martin. I did some research on Martin's web site and found out dreadnaught-sized acoustic guitars were shipped with medium gauge strings. On a whim, I bought a set of medium gauge phosper bronze Martin Bluegrass SP's, and WHAM! Holy Mother Of Pearl, my HD28 sung out with more clarity and volume than I've ever heard out of any acoustic guitar! If you're looking for some really great sound at a great price, check these strings out and you'll be pickin' and grinnin' for years to come.

How to find your inner executive

Women's Agenda
Latest stories
Must reads site wide
During the past couple of months, I've been in four or five conversations with leadership development professionals who are looking for a way to build executive presence in their organisations' high-potential managers. Most of them have tried different programs and approaches and they're not happy with the results they've achieved.
I have a theory about why that's the case. Executive presence is one of those terms that's often used but rarely clearly defined. If you do a Google search on the term you'll find articles that talk about confidence, communications, personal appearance, body language and other factors that don't get a lot more specific than that. It's a great case of what the French would call je ne sais quoi – "I do not know what", or something that can't be adequately described.
That, of course, makes executive presence hard to teach to people. If you can't describe it, you can't teach it.
Based on the research I did for my book, The Next Level, and more than a decade of coaching senior executives and high-potential managers, I'd like to offer a two-part definition of executive presence. First, it's about your ability to get results, especially when the expectations around results are continually changing. Second, it's about the behaviours you exhibit at personal, team and organisational levels. When your behaviours align with the expected results, you have executive presence.
Let me break it down in a little more detail.
In today's world, the results that were good enough last year aren't good enough this year. This year's results won't be good enough next year. For leaders, then, it's a continual state of getting different results.
As Einstein would likely tell us, different results require different actions. That means that leaders need to be aware of when they need to pick up and let go of skills, behaviours and mindsets even if they've worked for them in the past.
A leader's executive presence, then, changes over time. In working with my clients, I break the behaviours of executive presence down into three categories and nine distinctions about what leaders need to pick up and let go of get different results.
Here's the breakdown:
Personal presence
- Pick up confidence in your presence. Let go of doubt in how you contribute.
- Pick up regular renewal of your energy and perspective. Let go of running flat out until you crash.
- Pick up custom-fit communications. Let go of one-size-fits-all communications.
- Pick up team reliance. Let go of self-reliance.
- Pick up defining what to do. Let go of telling how to do it.
- Pick up accountability for many results. Let go of responsibility for a few results.
- Pick up looking left, right and diagonally as you lead. Let go of primarily looking up and down as you lead.
- Pick up an outside-in view of the entire organisation. Let go of an inside-out view of your function.
- Pick up a big footprint view of your role. Let go of a small footprint view of your role.
Team presence
Organisational presence
Over the past six years, my company has conducted 360-degree assessments for hundreds of high-potential leaders on the 72 behaviours (eight for each of the nine "pick up and let go" distinctions) that highlight this model of executive presence. In the weeks to come, I'll share much of what we've learned about the specific behaviours.
For now, though, how do you define executive presence? Do any of these "pick up and let go" pairs match up with your experience? If so, which ones?

ST. JOSEPH — Ival Lawhon Jr., the longtime staff photographer of the St. Joseph News-Press, who kept a police scanner at his bedside and chronicled three decades of fires, floods and ordinary life, has died.
Lawhon died Saturday night of pancreatic cancer at a local hospital. He was 61.
The veteran photographer worked at the News-Press for 31 years, retiring in 2008. The News-Press described his work as a "visual catalog of life" in St. Joseph and northwest Missouri. He captured countless fires, the Great Flood of 1993 and personal stories.
Lawhon was to have been inducted into the Missouri Photojournalism Hall of Fame on Oct. 22 in Washington, Mo.
He taught photography at Missouri Western State University and was a decorated Vietnam War veteran. He is survived by his wife, Renee.

Gandhi, Ashutosh S and Vikram, Jayaram and Chokshi, Atul H (1999) Dense Amorphous Zirconia-Alumina by Low Temperature Consolidation of Spray Pyrolyzed Powders. [Preprint]
3.pdf Download (738Kb) |
Hot-pressing of metastable amorphous ZrO2-Al2O3 powders was performed at low temperatures (873 and 923 K), under moderately high pressures (500 and 750 MPa), and amorphous pellets with 1 to 8 % porosity were obtained. Crystallization of the amorphous pieces between 1173 and 1673 K produced a range of ultrafine microstructures, the finest of which had 6-8 nm grains of tetragonal (ZrO2-40 mol% Al2O3) solid solution formed at 1173 K. Sub-micron grain sizes of the equilibrium m-ZrO2 and -Al2O3 are stable against coarsening at 1673 K. The new technique was applied to produce a silicon carbide reinforced composite with an amorphous ZrO2-80 mol% Al2O3 matrix; the high matrix sinterability overcame the reinforcement constraint. The results suggest a possible solution to the difficulties in bulk processing of amorphous, nanocrystalline and other novel ceramics.

The new WADA Code does not take effect until January 1st 2015 but Coates has included the "Prohibited Association" clause in documents which all members of the Shadow Team for Rio are obliged to sign.
Coates is working with ASADA and letters have been sent to all National Sporting Federations (NFs) who will identify up to twelve hundred athletes comprising the Shadow Team.
"We totally support the new code and athletes who want to compete in the Australian Olympic Team in Rio need to understand the changes and comply now"Âå Coates said.
Last week Coates advised NFs of the need to be WADA Code compliant by the start of next year, otherwise they risk losing their membership status.
"For a long time now the Olympic Movement has expressed grave concerns about the athlete's entourage, those people who surround the athletes and actively promote and assist in doping. They are a scourge on sportÂå he said. Previously they have been outside the jurisdiction of anti-doping authorities, not any more"
The AOC consent to Shadow Team Membership form says:
"I have not at any time engaged in Prohibited Association as prescribed under Article 2.10 of the World Anti-Doping Authority (WADA) Code (in effect from 1 January 2015), meaning association in a professional or sport-related capacity with any Athlete Support Personnel who:
(a) is serving a period of Ineligibility; or
(b) has been convicted or found in a criminal, disciplinary or professional proceeding to have engaged in conduct which would have constituted a violation of anti-doping rules; or
(c) is serving as a front or intermediary for an individual described in (a) or (b) above.
"Article 2.10 is simple. It says athletes are forbidden from associating with these people in any professional or sports-related way. They are now off limits, out of the picture totally"Âå Coates said.
Other changes to the WADA Code from January 1 2015 include punishment for athletes caught cheating increasing from a two year ban to four years which would automatically rule them out of the next Olympic Games.

Acquitted of involvement in Mumbai attack
Pakistani-Canadian businessman Tahawwur Husain Rana, charged with facilitating the November 2008 attack in Mumbai, has been convicted of providing material support to the proscribed Lashkar-e-Taiba, as well as conspiring to stage a terrorist strike against Copenhagen.
Rana was, however, acquitted of charges that he played a direct role in the Mumbai attack. The 50-year-old Chicago resident now faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in jail, the United States Department of Justice said in a press release.
Prosecutors had charged Rana with three terror-related crimes: participating in a conspiracy to provide material support to terror in India; conspiring to provide material support to terrorism in Denmark; and providing material support to the Lashkar.
Rana had, the prosecutors said, conspired with Lashkar intelligence operative David Headley "to provide personnel, tangible property, money, and false documentation and identification, and to conceal and disguise the nature of such support to those who planned and carried out the Mumbai attacks."
Even though juries in the United States do not have to provide reasons for their decisions, the 12 women and men who ruled on Rana's case appear to have been unconvinced by Headley's testimony that he discussed plans to attack Mumbai with his childhood friend.
Lawyers for Rana pointed out that the businessman was in Mumbai with his children and wife just days before the attack —evidence apparently inexplicable if he had prior knowledge of the strike.
However, a mass of evidence — including e-mail and intercepted conversations — showed that Rana was aware of, and willing to support, Headley's operations on behalf of the Lashkar and Pakistan's intelligence services.
Rana's lawyer Patrick Blegan said the defence would appeal the judgment. He insisted that his client was not guilty. "The jury came to another decision. We respect their decision, but we think they got it wrong," he said.

Timberland LLC is an American manufacturer and retailer of outdoors wear with a focus on footwear.
Timberland footwear is marketed towards people intending outdoor and casual use.[citation needed] The company also sells apparel such as clothes, watches, glasses and leather goods.
In 2007, Timberland was named the 78th best employer in the US on the CNN Money "One hundred best companies to work for" list.[2] Timberland says that it is a proponent of corporate social responsibility. They offer deals on their products that are only available to customers and employees.
Timberland's corporate headquarters are located in Stratham, New Hampshire. Timberland also operates from offices in other parts of the world.
Horween Leather Company supplies leather shells for footwear to the Timberland Company.[4]
The Company history[edit]
- In 1918, Timberland founder Nathan Swartz began his shoe-making career in Boston, Massachusetts, as an apprentice stitcher.
- In 1952, Swartz bought half an interest in The Abington Shoe Company in South Boston, mainly doing contract work for other manufacturers.
- In 1955, Swartz bought the remaining interest and brought his sons into the company.
- In 1965, the Swartz family introduced the then innovative injection-molding technology into the footwear industry. This enabled the production of virtually waterproof boots made in colder temperature form or in tropical weather form depending on the customer, by connecting the soles to the leather uppers without stitching.[5]
- In 1969, moved the base of its manufacturing operations to Newmarket, New Hampshire.
- In 1973, the brand name "Timberland" was introduced for the waterproof leather boots produced by the company. Because the boot proved to be very popular, the company name was officially changed to The Timberland Company.
- In 1978 and 1979, Timberland added casual and boat shoes to its boots product line.
- In the 1980s, the company expanded internationally – first into the Italian market and, later, to many other countries, this thanks to the youth movement in Milan "Paninari" Paninaro who wore and launched the Timberland brand.
- In 1984, purchased a former Melville factory in Tennessee and relocated manufacturing.
- Herman Swartz, one of the founder's sons, took the helm at the company. Under his leadership Timberland began to evolve into a lifestyle brand, adding clothing and women's shoes to its products.
- Throughout the 1990s, the Timberland Company added more product lines such as backpacks, watches, and kids' footwear.
- In 1998, the Timberland PRO series of "Workboots for the Professional" was launched. Jeffrey Swartz stepped up to become Chief Executive Officer of the company and brand his grandfather, uncle, and father had started.[6]
- In 2006, the company acquired Howies, the Welsh clothing company.[7]
- In 2007, Timberland acquired skateboard-footwear company, iPath.[8] Ipath was sold in 2011 to Klone Labs.[9]
- In 2011, Timberland signed a definitive merger agreement with VF Corporation at $43 per share or approximately $2 billion.[10]
- In 2012 Howies was sold to its management by VF.[11]
In addition to stores in the United States, Timberland also operates stores worldwide, including several retail and factory outlets in Canada [12]

Geo Holmes story on Action News 5
Here's a video of WMC-TV's Action News 5 report on the death of Geo Holmes.
On Tuesday, members of the Memphis film industry remember 59-year-old George Holmes for his work and free spirit.
Holmes was killed Sunday after being hit by a train while jogging in Germantown.
According to police, Holmes was wearing headphones at the time of his death and may not have heard the train coming.
Holmes' family says he ran in the area frequently. They also say it was not unusual for him to have earphones in during a run.
"That was Holmes' home, his territory, he felt safe there," said Memphis and Shelby County Film Commissioner Linn Sitler.
Sitler knew Holmes for more than 30 years, and said in addition to being an avid jogger, he was a nice and gentle spirit, and will be missed in the local film community.
Holmes owned the production company Beale Street Studios and worked with globally recognized clients including FedEx, International Paper, and CBS Sports.
"I have never experienced anything like the response we have experienced to George Holmes death," said Sitler.

This camp ground does not match the web site or it's brouchure. The office was in such a
place that until a couple of cars where moved I couldn't get out. When they took me to my pull thru I almost flipped my trailer because of the sharp corner on a hill I had to do. The 40 ft MH that came in after me took out his muffler trying to make the corner. The swimming pond looked more like a mud bog for pigs. When I removed my water line the filter was covered with green slime. To see the cavern or the village was extra $ that I didn't think was worth it. The staff was very friendly. We camped at Zane Shawnee Caverns & Southwind Park in a Fifth Wheel.

"One area that I do talk about is sportsmanship. I will meet with a spectator or athlete if I feel their actions are unsportsmanlike and are a negative reflection of our school. We discuss what is expected of them as a spectator or an athlete," said Scalise.
Taking turns
Gregg Dort, of Ballston Spa, has coached T-ball, youth soccer and Pop Warner football. Having been involved with sports his entire life, he said his philosophy is all kids share equal playing time and all kids play every position. He said his stance is sometimes unpopular with other coaches and some parents.
"I take great pride in showing my players that they all deserve a chance to play, regardless of opinions from other teams and coaches. I spend time during the off hours making charts and tracking players' time and positions to insure that all my players have played in every position and have shared the game time equally," said Dort.
Dort said he has had parents ask questions like, "Why did you put little Johnnie in as quarterback, we think he is too small." His answer is always, "He deserves to play, and if that child gets excited about playing this year and wants to play again next year, then I will have done my job."
"Smiles are always better than wins," said Dort.
Dort said the greatest compliment to him as a coach is when parents thank him for helping to get their child excited about being part of a team and even more so about being excited to share in something with their parents.
"I want the kids to get some exercise, experience competition, teamwork, sportsmanship, confidence, learn athletic skills, want to learn more about the sport and play at home with their parents, guardians, or siblings. I want the parents to know that it is OK for their child to laugh, cry, get pushed, score a goal, hit a home run, drop a ball, make a mistake, learn how to kick, throw, pass, catch, want to play at home, experience childhood again, support their child's effort whether good or bad," said Dort.

The team, led by Caroline Ross and Karl Berggren, has shown that a block copolymer, polystyrene-polydimethylsiloxane, can be "forced" to form a complex set of 3D patterns on a substrate surface. The technique, detailed in Advanced Materials, involves using a simple template comprising an array of small pillars made of silica, explains team member Amir Tavakkoli. "We have found that we can create a rich variety of microdomain morphologies on a single substrate by modifying the layout of the pillars," he said. "One such morphology is a high-resolution square lattice of dots, but cylinders, spheres, ellipsoids and double cylinders can easily be produced too."
The spaces between features in the final patterns can be smaller than the original periodicity in the block copolymer, he adds. This means that the number of components that can be packed onto the sample substrate is increased. Indeed, the feature sizes that can be made in this way are very small, at around 10–20 nm. In contrast, those produced by conventional photolithography are at least 10 nm bigger. "Being able to fabricate such small structures will be important for the future because feature sizes are continuing to shrink, in accordance with Moore's Law," Tavakkoli reminds us.
Another big advantage of the new technique is that it can produce square and rectangular structures. These shapes form the basis of most microchip layouts but are quite difficult to produce through conventional self-assembly processes, says Ross. "When molecules self assemble, they have a natural tendency to create hexagonal shapes – as in a honeycomb or an array of soap bubbles between sheets of glass. They do not naturally form squares or rectangles."
The MIT researchers' fabrication technique starts with the construction of a precisely controlled pattern of nanopillars on a silicon substrate surface using high-resolution electron beam lithography. Next, the pillars are chemically coated with a thin polystyrene "brush" layer that subsequently interacts with the block copolymer when it is applied to the substrate surface. The copolymer then self assembles into a pattern that is guided by the pillars.
Polymer strain
The process works because the template coating is arranged in such a way as to repel one of the components in the polymer. This produces a significant amount of strain in the polymer, forcing it to twist and turn, explains Berggren. "In doing so, the polymer rearranges itself on the substrate surface into more interesting patterns."
The team says that it now plans to investigate how to remove the physical post-template from the final pattern, and then transfer the pattern to the substrate. "We would then like to make some functional devices and also want to understand and model the self-assembly process so that we can generalize this work to other block copolymers and feature geometries," Tavakkoli told nanotechweb.org.

Deleting Old Food/Activites Entries
I can't seem to find if it's possible to delete old food/activity entries. I had used Fitday about 7 months ago then stopped for a few months. I've started using it again but would like a 'fresh' start for my entries. Thanks |
