Update GPS data to Google latitude server.
Especially in China, sometimes We can not use the Google Maps to upload the GPS info to Google Latitude server, so I develop the app.
If you can use Google Maps, You can just use Maps to sync your Location info.
first use:
Click the "Authentication" button to auth this app.
then you can upload your GPS info to Google Latitude server.
*NOTE: If your country blocked the Google services(Like China, sometimes we can not login to Google service. Search GFW for the answer), sometimes this app will not work.*
more info :http://goo.gl/Tyhl
*Need Internet connection. Requires to reauthorize when app restarts*
同步手机GPS信息到Google Latitude(谷歌纵横)服务器,记录和分享您的位置信息.
这个程序最初只是为了在OPhone手机上同步个人的GPS信息的,因为OPhone不能安装谷歌地图导致无法使用谷歌地图里面的纵横服务来同步GPS信息,如果您的手机已经能使用谷歌地图可以使用里面的纵横功能来代替本程序。 但是纵横的同步频率不是十分频繁,如果您希望连续的记录您的旅行信息,您也可以使用本程序。 但是请注意:连续的长时间同步信息会长使用使用网络和GPS定位服务导致非常消耗电池,请尽量在插上车载充电器的时候使用!

Backitude GPS Location Tracker
New (beta): Send a NMEA GPRMC strings to your OpenGTS tracking system with more options than any other application out there! GPRMC is the recommended minimum specific GPS/TRANSIT Data and this app should be the perfrect OpenGTS client.
Create your own back-end and host your location data. Share it in real-time with friends and family. Here are some other user's examples:
Use Backitude to provide the data!! Run this application and automatically improve your Google+ location accuracy and your Google Location History accuracy and rate!
Find your friends and family members' locations automatically by pinging their phone with a simple text message, and the phone will automatically reply with their location, assuming they have installed and enabled this application.
Continuous location detection application (Configure once, enable, and leave running forever!) with the capability and flexibility to sync location data to any number of destinations including: Custom server URLs, on-board internal memory in form of KML or CSV files, SMS relay, and more!
Detect your location and configure what URL you would like to send it to. Or, store it locally as kml and open using any Mapping software capable of loading kml files.
Backitude can detect locations using GPS, Wi-Fi network locations, and/or cell tower triangulation locations. The location detection and data transmission can occur seamlessly and silently in the background of your device. It allows the user to control the updating frequency and accuracy constraints, and allows you and your friends to locate eachother via SMS.
Offline Storage is available to save location values when a data signal is not present, or you decide to save your data usage and upload in bulk at a future time. Sync can initiate when signal becomes available again, or only once connected to a Wi-Fi network, or by manual startup only.
Minimum accuracy constraints and fall-back options ensure that you are only collecting location data you desire to keep. Polling timeouts ensure that you are not wasting battery life trying to achieve an accurate value when GPS or location signal is not available.
Backitude can run at varying time intervals dependent on Mode which is automatically detected: Docked mode for connected to a power supply, Wi-Fi mode for connected to a Wi-Fi network, or Standard mode in any other situation. Backitude is most efficient when no interval is selected and the application relies on "Push Updates" via SMS and Location "Steals" instead of timed polling. "Steals" are location values that are served up by the OS from other applications, such as if the user opens Google Maps and the OS determines the location, Backitude will identify and utilize the data. "Push Updates" will trigger polling via SMS.
Widgets help change settings or operate location detecton on the fly without opening up the settings menus.
With all the new options for sync'ing your data- Backitude will surely have some bugs to work out. Any problems, please contact me at email@example.com
If anything else, this is a great app to use as a Lost Phone Tracker. Just enable SMS Push Update with SMS reply, add a secret suffix so not just anyone can find out your location, and let it sit idle until the day when you lose your phone and need a means to track it down, with GPS accuracy.

GPS Location
Upon opening the app, the users current GPS coordinates are immediately acquired and displayed. The map pin remains centered at all times. Users can also move the background map to acquire GPS coordinates for a different location or type a specific address to acquire coordinates for.
GPS Status & Toolbox
Tools included: compass with magnetic and true north, leveling tool, mark or share your location and navigate back later using the Radar.
Keep your GPS fast: reset it or download A-GPS data regularly for faster fixes.
Visit the FAQ at: http://mobiwia.com/gpsstatus
GPS Status is 100% space proof. Try to spot the program in the promo video :)
PRO features:
- show/store/edit/export multiple waypoints and use them on the Radar for navigation.
- pressure, rotation, temperature, humidity values (if supported by the device)
- removed ads
- Location: We need this to display your location and allows the program to re-download AGPS data or reset the GPS.
- External storage: required by the PRO version to be able to export the stored waypoints to an external file.
- Internet: Used by the advertisement component. The PRO version does not use the internet connection at all.
KNOWN FIRMWARE ISSUES (please do not report them):
- Galaxy S4 on Verizon: Because of a firmware bug, the notification item in GPS Status can't be removed. You need to disable the notification feature in Settings if this annoys you.
- Droid 3: The initial Droid 3 firmware does not implement the satellite status API so you will not see the satellites and the signal strength bars. The rest of the features should work properly.
- Motorola phones: On some phones, turning your phone to airplane mode will turn off the GPS receiver, too. This is a hardware limitation.
- Droid Charge: Reports 0 altitude.
- LG Optimus: The phone cannot report the satellite SNR values correctly (all signal bars will be maxed out).
- Samsung phones: Because of a firmware bug, they may report extreme battery consumption for GPS Status even if it is not running at all (other programs using sensors are affected too). This is harmless and no power is consumed! Just ignore it and let's hope that a future firmware upgrade will fix this on your phone.
- Nexus One/S: With Andoid 2.3 it cannot report NMEA sentences. This means that the DOP/HDOP/VDOP values are not available.

Billy Hamilton Tears It Up
Phillies' home attendance jumped to 352, 773, nearly double the League average, as the fans could not seem to get enough of Billy Hamilton and the Phillies flying baseball circus. In the 127 year history of the Phillies, the 1,179 runs scored by the 1894 mashers is the most by any team, and it was accomplished in a 132 game schedule, an average of 8.9 runs per game. The team won 46 and lost 8 in games where they scored 10 or more runs. Three times they topped 20 runs in a game including the 29-4 rout of the Louisville Colonels on August 17. An asterisk should be placed beside that game because it was played at the undersized athletic field of the University of Pennsylvania where the Phillies completed their home schedule after a fire on August 6th destroyed the Huntingdon Grounds grandstand. Three days earlier the Colonels, who finished last, 54 games behind the pennant winning Baltimore Orioles, and who scored but 698 runs in the entire season, beat the Phillies 13-7 on the strength of six homeruns at the small U. Penn field.
The offensive numbers for the 1894 Phillies defy belief; Sam Thompson, Ed Delahanty, and Billy Hamilton, all hit over .400, as did spare outfielder Tuck Turner who hit .418 and scored 95 runs in 82 games. In 702 plate appearances, Hamilton was on base 365 times (.521 OBP), stole 100 bases, and scored an unlikely-to-ever be-topped 195 runs. Six players scored 100 or more runs.
It was a great show for the hometown cranks – 48-20 at home, but another dismal road show (23-37) did the Phillies in, and they once again finished fourth, this time 18 games back.
Harry Wright took his tired eyes into retirement, handing the managing job to old friend Arthur "Doc" Irwin who was left to glory over his hitters, but suffer with his pitchers. Especially against Baltimore; on June 22nd and 23rd the Orioles beat the Phillies 18-14 and 18-11. On August 3rd and 4th the Baltimore bullies bombed the Phillies 16-3 and 19-12. It took courage to be a major league pitcher in 1894.
A final word about Harry Wright. In 10 years from 1884 to 1893, his teams won 636 and lost 566, a .529 winning percentage. The 636 wins stood as a team record for 75 years until topped by Gene Mauch(637) in 1968. Under Wright, the Phillies never won a pennant, but they were competitive and entertaining while learning to play the game the right (Wright?) way. Harry Wright died of a lung ailment in 1895; he was elected to the baseball Hall-of-Fame in 1953..By max blue

Multichannel Audio Upmixing by Time-Frequency Filtering Using Non-Negative Tensor Factorization
The expanding use of portable multimedia devices has intensified the need for better forms of scalable spatial audio coding (SAC) that match the connectivity rate and multichannel playback capabilities of the receiving device. A new SAC method is based on the parameterization of multichannel audio by representing it as a linear combination of objects composed of fixed spectral bases with time-varying gain and channel-dependent spatial gain. Spatial parameters can be estimated from the original multichannel signal using psychoacoustic properties of sound source localization. The base audio can be monophonic or downmixed stereophonic. Listening tests showed that the proposed SAC algorithm achieved the performance of conventional spatial audio coding methods with similar bit rates. The sound separation performance was evaluated and found applicable for separating sound sources in the coding domain directly.

Baltimore light rail project gets new impetus after Freddie Gray death, riots
BALTIMORE (Reuters) – Maryland officials are eyeing a $2.9 billion light rail project long in the works for Baltimore as a way of combating the crushing poverty that fueled rioting in the city after the police-custody death of Freddie Gray.
Backers say the proposed Red Line light rail project could speed city residents to jobs and help end the isolation of poor neighborhoods, some of which still bear the scars of race riots in the 1960s.

As I've been playing this silly game for a long time, I can get jaded when I play because I think I've seen it all before.
But I hadn't seen anything like this scenario coming. And I enjoyed the heck out of it.
I don't want to be too spoilerish, but I love the premise and loved the story. It was a lot of fun to play and I just can't wait to run it. I believe it will be one of my favorites as it's packed with flavor and interesting encounters.
As characters, my party really got into it. As players, we appreciated the concept and good execution.
Dang good scenario.

I have watched episode 1 in season 1: perhaps I am missing something? It was all scene set and costume drama - first ten minutes were good and then, what appeared to start off as powerful interesting characters, became 'heartbeat' the UK TV drama - all staged, with little good acting and all costume.
This could have developed into an interesting plot - instead of...

FallenGrace (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ripper Street - Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
I'm kind of late to Ripper Street. I only found out about it's existence recently, three seasons in. I love the Victorian era though so started season 1 and it's one of the best tv series I have seen in years, years!
The premise follows H division, a squad of police in Whitechapel 1889 set six months after the infamous Jack the Ripper murders. The show I want to stress is not about Jack, the idea is to focus on the police who failed to catch him and their fear that he will come back though it soon expands into a variety of crimes, plots and murders.
The show is pretty gritty, they don't really hold back with prostitutes, diseases, underpaid worker strikes all playing large parts, the era is not romanticized looking at darker elements of the time. There are also some nice historical elements put in showing the development of technology with cameras, the building of the London Underground which really help cement the atmosphere along with the brilliant costumes, suits, hairstyles and sets. It's an excellent show.
The acting is superb by every one of the cast creating some tense and sometimes genuinely emotional moments. Ripper streets main characters are Detective Edmund Reid (Mattew Macfadyen) who heads H division teaming up with former military man Detective Sergeant Bennet Drake (Jerome Flynn) and former US army surgeon Captain Homer Jackson (Adam Rothenburg) to solve cases. Each character has distinct personality as well as backstory that slowly develops as the show progresses for the 8 one hour episode season.
Final thoughts, I loved Ripper Street and can't wait to find the time to watch season 2.The atmosphere is great, the era is wonderful, the cast and sets are striking. It just felt full of character.
+ Historical technology is fun.
+ Sets, costumes and atmosphere are superb.
+ Interesting characters, splendid acting.
+ Delves into the darker parts of Victorian life.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best BBC series in quite some time.,
Midori Bear (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ripper Street [DVD] (DVD)
I love nothing more then getting hooked on a good tv series, but i didn't quite expect my obsession with Ripper Street to be so strong! I first saw the trailers around christmas and watched it each and every week, with my love of the different characters growing with every episode. Each character has their own story and unique hidden back story which gets revealed as the series continues. This added with each weeks different mystery leads for an addictive show, as you want to watch week by week as we discover more about the three lead characters.
Adam Rothenberg, Jerome Flynn and Matthew McFadyen (Jackson, Drake and Reid) are all brilliant, working well with each other to create a believable police unit, with great supporting characters such as Rose and Long Susan and adorable trainee policeman Hobbs!
I got given this DVD for my birthday and have already watched it through again twice, i literally can't get enough, the series improves each time you watch it as you pick up dialogue or notice things you had previously missed. Brilliant stories, amazing acting and spectacular settings, this really is one to buy. I have sat down to watch it with my mum as well, so it is one for all the ages, if you are a bit squeamish it might be best to close your eyes through some parts but don't let that put you off because the stories alone are just great.
I can't wait for the next series which is being filmed as i type, bring on more Ripper Street!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Brilliant - Not To Be Missed,
Pink Frog (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ripper Street - Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
I stumbled across this series by accident as I was bored one evening and there was nothing else being broadcast on the TV that could hold my attention. I was hooked from the very first episode, and subsequently became addicted to the entire series, including Series 2 and 3. This is not the genre of programme I normally choose to watch, which only reinforces just how good this is.
Absolutely brilliant acting from the entire cast, including those with minor parts. The photography and sets are stunning and believable. They help provide an insight into how difficult life in Victorian London actually was for the lower classes and the poor; and the struggles faced by the recently formed police force, in their endeavours to maintain some form of law and order to keep people safe.
The twists, turns and sub plots keep you gripped throughout. All three series are not to be missed.
Well done Amazon for rescuing the programme and funding Series 3, without which, the underlying and continuous plot could not have reached its final conclusion.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good period piece drama, cancelled by the BBC,
Susman "Sussman" (London Mills IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ripper Street [DVD] (DVD)
The narrative is set in the late 19th century and the story begins with the tail-end of Jack the Ripper's terrifying reign of murder in the East End of London, however, the drama went on to examine multifaceted human motivations, to dissect the central characters and their lives beyond the police station. There is examination of what it means to be malevolent and/or human. The drama looked at the lives, and social ills of the people who lived in the area, and this was done through making the look and feel of the era in a really striking framework. For me the direction, writing and performance given, came together to make really interesting and finely tuned drama. It is really sad that the powers to be at the BBC could not/would not fight try to keep this very good show going, I am sure it would have sold well in North America and Australia. It seems to extremely poor judgement to cancel the show. I guess in its place will be another repeat set of programming, which seems to be the unfortunate mainstay of the BBC today - all rather sad really.
Amazon have revived show, after it was cancelled by the BBC so prematurely - high praise to the fans for getting the show endorsed again. It will be shown exclusively on Amazon Prime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Victorian detective drama - dirt and all....,
This review is from: Ripper Street [DVD] (DVD)
Having followed this series intently so far, and having read the current reviews on Amazon, I have come to the definite conclusion that purchasing this series on DVD is a must for me. I've always been a sucker for a Victorian Detective - firstly with various TV and film incarnations of Sherlock Holmes [even tho he is a 'consulting' detective] and then with the TV series 'Sergeant Cork' in the 1960s and 'Sergeant Cribb' in the 1980s.
These could be classed as the 'original' Victorian detective dramas I suppose although Victorian London did seem a bit on the clean side...
Ripper Street is every bit as good as these previous series were, plus I think it shows a more realistic version of Victorian London - grey, filthy, violent and awash with drink and drugs in some areas. Yet in the middle of all that we get glimpses of things to come and promises of a better future, tho not for everyone.
Not much different from the 21st century in some ways, when you think about it!
If you're into Victorian detectives then I happily recommend this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Escapism,
M. Dowden (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ripper Street [DVD] (DVD)
Forget about your worries and woes and watch this exciting and gripping series. This isn't perfect by any means but it has those great ingredients, action, violence, and pure escapism. Set some time shortly after the 'Jack the Ripper' killings have come to a close, this is based around the environs of Whitechapel.
As the police and detectives go about solving crimes, with the help of a mysterious Pinkerton agent as a forensic doctor they always have Abberline looking over their shoulders hoping to still catch 'The Ripper'.
With stories that involve murder, human trafficking, greed and violence, etc., there is a lot to take in, along with secrets and dodgy dealings. With the police using violence in interrogations and trickery to extort confessions and information this is old time action all the way. I think on this as 'The Sweeney' 19th Century style. With the main characters we also get background information and stories, making them more dimensional and easier to relate to.
All in all this is a well rounded crime costume drama that is fun to watch and offers pure entertainment and escapism. And in case you weren't aware, another series has been commissioned. With violent crimes in a historical setting this is well worth watching.

5.0 out of 5 stars he lives forever!,
This review is from: Ripper Street [DVD] (DVD)
barring the almost impossible, jack the ripper will live forever in history as a shadowy figure of terror. ripper street captures the nervous people of the area just post-ripper, when no one knew if he was really gone or lurking in the shadows to step out again and resume his reign of terror. it's no wonder the police are still on edge, the people nervy - these are the streets the ripper stalked searching for his victims. ripper street recreates those streets and shadows and fears eloquently. I had to run out to the store late, after dark, the night I watched this. I looked over my shoulder, checked the back seat of the car and locked all the car doors. coming back was worse - I ran to my door and checked the whole apartment before I could relax. I also couldn't sleep until 4am!

4.0 out of 5 stars Blu Ray Review,
Adrian Drew (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ripper Street [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
This well acted and produced highly original series is not for the faint hearted as it deals with some very shocking themes - a Victorian version of the French series "Spiral" springs to mind! However, despite all the care lavished on the design and detail, blu ray transfer is not perfect unfortunately. The opening section of episode one, in fact, has a problem of fringing during fast movement which is rather distracting but this settles down after about 10 minutes - a coding issue perhaps. On video projection it is much worse. The black levels are not very wonderful either but on a normal size tv are probably okay. Thankfully the audio is fine! That said, this highly ambitious series - superbly acted by it's leads - well written with an authentic note of "otherness" in the dialogue, and intriguingly plotted, does give a fascinating picture of Victorian life in the raw. The past is another country, they do things differently there - and "Ripper Street" certainly demonstrates that in all it's uncompromising horror!

4.0 out of 5 stars Ripper Street - ripping fun,
This review is from: Ripper Street [DVD] (DVD)
One of the best things on British TV in many years, infinitely superior to the first (ok) and second (silly) Sherlock Holmes movies if only for the superbly researched and handled dialogue. The highest possible praise to the scriptwriter for really doing something redolent of the speech patterns of the time, without falling into the cheeky cockney cliches of Hammer Film-style treatments of the Ripper theme. OK, so there's a misplaced American doctor, but international coproduction makes that inevitable - and much less obtrusive than the Irish dinosaur hunters imposed on "Primeval".
The best thing about Ripper Street is that it IS relentlessly distasteful and horrific, as street life of the period no doubt was. And the way modern technology makes an appearance in every episode - the moving picture, the mass-produced addictive drugs, the underground railway - is endlessly fascinating.
Matthew McFadyen's star turn is also suitably driven and tortured, an outstanding performance.
Can't wait to see the rest of the series and the DVD set.

Article published in Business Executive Magazine 1995 Prd/CM/Art/Pt1Flow/Drft3/12/94 1 CONSULTING WITH THE FLOW Change Management Consulting For Real By Tony Coyle and Tony Page Part 1: Letting Go Cartoon 12 The article is published in two parts. Part 2 is entitled "The Vision Thing". Prd/CM/Art/Pt1Flow/Drft3/12/94 2 In this article the writers contrast their own experience of Change Management with the theory. They discover the limits of their current Change Management mind-set. They develop a new paradigm for Change Management that is related to the new relationship between employee and corporation. They begin to set out a hypothesis or guiding metaphor called Flow Theory for use by change agents. They invite others interested in Change Management to enter the debate. Tony Coyle is Director, Organisation Development at SmithKline Beecham Pharmaceuticals, Europe. Tony Page is a partner in Page Consulting, a practice that helps people in organisations understand, engage with and work through change issues. Prd/CM/Art/Pt1Flow/Drft3/12/94 3 How it all started Imagine the scene. It is the summer of 1994, you are 18 months into a working partnership on a change programme with a major corporation. Your offices are filled with hundreds of books and manuals describing how to manage change. There are Total Quality Management (TQM) manuals, Customer Service manuals, Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) manuals, the Transformational Leadership approach, the "very well-known Board-level strategic consultancy" Change Management product, the "biggest world-wide IT consultancy" Change Management product... and so on. You have also in previous years researched the subject of Change Management from all imaginable angles, developed education for others and consulted to line managers in many different corporate settings. So when you meet your colleague later in the summer with a challenging brief to develop a "world class" Change Management product you are well-equipped. You could cull the best from the pile of manuals, combine it with your own live consulting experience and (hey presto!) you would have a Change Management product that is distinctive, tangible, holistic, results-based and widely applicable within your client company. We had faced worse mountains. However, when we tried to get started, something began causing us a problem. We had two or three separate meetings spaced over a couple of months. Our approach kept shifting. There was an uncomfortable feeling. Question: What was the source of this feeling? Answer: A mismatch between the theory of Change Management and our real life experience. Experiencing change What real life experience are we talking about? As Change Agents we all work at the centre of change, in the eye of a storm, and we experience change directly. The words people use to describe this kind of experience cover the full spectrum of human experience both negative and positive including: shock, terror, rush, uncontrollable anger, sinking, exhaustion, despair, wild euphoria, excitement, surges of confidence, inspiration, insight, new-found purpose. Such emotional experiences are equally true for all people in the midst of change: production workers, middle managers, planners, top executives, customers and Prd/CM/Art/Pt1Flow/Drft3/12/94 4 change agents. In other words they apply to all the human stakeholders engaged in a change process. Emotions arise in a well-known and (partially) predictable cycle that goes something like this: Performance Self-Esteem D e n ia l A c h i ev i n g B la m e o th e rs R isi n g c on fi d en B la m e se lf T e sti n g n e w w a y s D e sp a i r Tim e But, in business as we all know, emotional experience is largely hidden, not referred to and tends to be seen as weakness. Two opposing theories: hard vs soft If you were to delve into the pile of books and manuals in our offices you would probably not find out much more about the emotional colour of change but you might remark on how much is written on Change Management and how incomplete each offering is. Here are some themes we identified: • the human experience of change (soft) inhabits a separate professional domain from the strategic (hard) and both are partially blind towards the other • in the "hard" school (strategy, structure, systems, performance, BPR, consultancy, operations) the human side of change is typically Machiavellian, about ends not means, maintaining power, management by fear, command and control, seeing the lowest in human nature, theory X, anti-empowerment and the nature of resistance is misconceived • in the "soft" school (people, psychology, counselling, employee assistance, therapy) the human issues in change are illuminated but detached from a business setting • a fusion between "hard" and "soft" was glimpsed in the "culture" movement of the 80s and in TQM but with the rise of BPR the old divisions re-emerge • BPR is becoming more widely recognised as flawed, the human element in change is seen as being the missing link Prd/CM/Art/Pt1Flow/Drft3/12/94 5 • Change Management has emerged as a new fusion between the hard and the soft schools, the carrier of the human element • the "hard" school with its roots in strategy, performance and BPR serves the top level decision-makers in business and is still dominant in the emerging field of Change Management. Approaches to Change Management are in many cases confused and inadequate in their conception of the human element at work. We felt that until the two schools are better integrated there is not and cannot be an effective, results-based connection between people and business. Let us turn to how the Change Agent experiences change. Experiencing change: the Change Agent's view As a Change Agent you experience directly the battle between the two schools. For example you can be engaged by the "hard" school to discover the hidden merits of the other "soft" school. This is a difficult role to fulfil. In a recent London seminar, a corporate transformation "guru" claimed that of the thousands of change programmes initiated in corporations throughout the world there are probably only five (amongst them British Airways) that have produced truly outstanding results. Why? Leaving aside the reasons and the evidence for this assertion, where does it leave you as a Change Agent? Marooned, high and dry, faced with untenable options. Which option do you choose: 1. Continue to blindly follow the old and discredited theory of change management 2. Transfer your faith to the revised theory being promoted 3. Develop something pragmatic "at the grass roots" avoiding potentially flawed theory altogether? The answer seemed to us to be in a fourth option: attempt to reconnect theory with our own lived experience. We therefore begin by proposing a simple Kolb-style "learning approach" to Change Management that integrates theory and experience by drawing the best from existing theory, using it and testing it, reflecting on experience and evolving the theory forward to embrace your operating experience and to guide future action. In this way we all get better at being Change Agents as we move forward. Prd/CM/Art/Pt1Flow/Drft3/12/94 6 A "LEARNING" APPROACH TO CHANGE MANAGEMENT DO TEST REFLECT Source: Kolb THEORISE Behaviour patterns and assumptions If only it were that simple! Have a look at this example of a Change Agent's experience: "at the start of a change programme you personally invest hope, dedication and optimism, only to find some months or years afterwards that the programme is mired in stuckness, desperation, pessimism and failure. On the way you typically have subjected yourself and your clients to a wide range of intense emotions in your drive to achieve a mutually beneficial result. When the change programme is beginning to fail you recognise but are helpless to prevent the change energy moving on to the next "fad". Within the new fad you see the client repeating essentially the same Change Management mistakes." In summary here is the behaviour pattern: • attraction to fad • design of corporate change programme • hope and dedication invested • delusion of success • recognition of failure • rejection of old programme • attraction to next fad • repetition of cycle with only subtle and minor changes. The example shows that, by examining your own subjective experience of change, truthfully and dispassionately, you can glimpse your underlying patterns of behaviour. These in turn could give clues to your assumptions about change management which guide your decisions and "cause" your current levels of success and failure as a Change Agent. Prd/CM/Art/Pt1Flow/Drft3/12/94 7 BEHAVIOURAL CAUSE AND EFFECT LINKAGES EXAMINE SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCE "EFFECT S" DISCOVER PAT TERNS OF BEHAVIOUR REVEAL UNDERLYING AS SUMPTIONS "CAUSES" Change Agent heal thyself "Doctor heal thyself" is a comment made by clients when they see Change Agents not taking their own advice. All of us have blindspots. The expert on human behaviour is no less likely to be arrogant or insensitive in their relationships than a window cleaner or a brain surgeon. Your blindspots as a Change Agent are very damaging to you both directly by undercutting the client's confidence in you and by adding to the general confusion during change. Blindspots are behaviours we are unaware of but to others seem inappropriate or self- defeating. In the example the client's repetition of failure as they move from one fad to the next can be a blindspot in the client. Coupled with it the Change Agent's inability to leverage learning in the client can be a Change Agent blindspot. Emotion is a major blindspot for Change Agents. We sometimes pretend that everything in business operates rationally and deny the absolute centrality of emotion, both our own and our clients'. The human cycle of change is well-known from studies of bereavement and from the world of counselling. In the wake of Tom Peters and others it is now widely accepted that in business the customer's "perception is reality". If this is true it must equally be true that a client's perception of a change programme (not top management's or the change agent's intention) is the reality of that programme. Then why do we not explore the client's perception fully and place the human cycle of change centrally in all corporate change management programmes? The problem of blindspots is compounded by the lack of integration in Change Management theory between the hard and soft schools. The effect of this is that everyone engaged in a change programme has their own version, is working off different assumptions (invisible to others) and suffering from different blindspots (invisible to them). Uncloaking the change paradigm As Change Agents our effectiveness depends on holding a set of assumptions about change, that is a "paradigm", that works effectively in our daily practice. Goss, Pascale and Athos (see references) describe a paradigm as being "the colour of the light" which makes things appear the way they do. Change the colour of the light bulb in the room then furniture, fabrics and decorations that previously went well together begin to clash, previously prominent objects recede into the background, new objects become prominent. Prd/CM/Art/Pt1Flow/Drft3/12/94 8 A paradigm is implicit, invisible and not easy to discover. If we could articulate the particular mixture of assumptions (from both the hard and soft schools) that we are working to, then we would have revealed our paradigm, we could then, using a "learning approach", shed what is not working and over time evolve it into a more effective paradigm. But how? A good starting point is to identify "uncomfortable feelings" and any "dissonance between feelings and behaviour". For example, growing in the writers for some time has been a dissatisfaction with conventional approaches to change management. A personal diary has been used to record and to explore "uncomfortable feelings", then a dialogue between the writers served to expose the behaviour patterns and assumptions which were underlying our practice. We have in effect been removing the invisible cloak to reveal our "change paradigm" in order to update it. This article records our journey. Outdated assumptions Here are some of the writers' implicit and outdated assumptions about how to manage change (causes) which produce various dysfunctional results (effects) that we have observed in our practice: ASSUMPTION: Change must start at the top The Board should work with a task force of consultants to define their corporate purpose, vision, values, strategy and change agenda. The troops should accept leadership from the generals. If the direction is right, the Board should win people's hearts and minds. RESULT: Change is first experienced by others in the company as being pre- determined, imposed and distant from them. ASSUMPTION: Rushing will help speed change up The Board needed time for themselves to explore, debate and unite around change. But change is urgent. Now the Board should simply explain their decision. Other people should understand and follow. RESULT: A programme is rushed and pushed out onto others. It is disconnected from other people's internal emotional reality, it is a bolt-on to the real job not integrated. Early polarisation occurs into supporters and resisters, positions become entrenched. Rushing change slows progress and increases resistance. ASSUMPTION: Top people must behave as role models Individuals particularly top managers should demonstrate loyalty and support for the change. They should do this even if they are not sure themselves about the change. RESULT: Role models lack conviction. The implicit message from role models is the company expects you to disconnect yourself from your true Prd/CM/Art/Pt1Flow/Drft3/12/94 9 feelings. Hearts and minds are being lost not won. Motivation and energy are dissipated. ASSUMPTION: Reward and reinforcement should be aligned If a person supports change they should gain survival and reward. If they resist change they should experience disapproval and negative consequences. RESULT: Experienced people pretend support and commitment when in reality they feel rushed, confused or opposed. Resistance is driven underground. Commitment is replaced with compliance. Learning is going on all the time but is not given a voice. A hidden, but more real life arises beneath the surface. Meetings become like the Woody Allen film where the speech and the feelings subtext are disconnected and in opposition. ASSUMPTION: News will filter through if there is a problem If a manager has an "open door policy" their finger should be on the pulse of the company and they should soon find out about any problems that exist. RESULT: Top managers assume they are in touch but in a driven, forced change programme become progressively more detached from true feelings of staff. Resistance remains hidden. People act as if they are committed or open-minded but hide their feelings. Management decisions become progressively more inappropriate and disconnected from the motivations, needs and values of staff. ASSUMPTION: Consultants and facilitators can be used to carry the message out The top team needs expert support to take the message out, to preach to and convert the troops. RESULT: Consultants and facilitators are no longer seen as objective or impartial but cynically as dishonest and manipulative, doing the Board's dirty work. Experienced people learn how much to engage with facilitators/consultants and how much to keep hidden. Much of the hidden life remains hidden. The full potential of facilitation/consultancy expertise remains untapped. Facilitators/consultants and their clients become disappointed. The Board feels a loss of control. The change programme hits the rocks. Board members resign and are replaced. The cycle begins again. The company sails forward unchanged into oblivion..... The emotional experience of letting go In uncloaking our paradigm, emotions arise. There is some sense of confusion throughout and as the reality sinks in there is a mixture of mild embarrassment, anger, blame, guilt and anxiety. Prd/CM/Art/Pt1Flow/Drft3/12/94 10 The experience of this is not easy or intellectually detached. It is involved, private, challenging, unsettling. We found ourselves acknowledging that our old change paradigm was dishonest and divisive. It created barriers and disconnections within a corporation. It forced internal disconnection within individuals between feelings and behaviours thus eroding personal integrity, self-esteem and confidence. It nurtured cynicism as a coping mechanism. It fed resistance which operated mostly unintentionally and subconsciously. It damaged corporate performance both in the short term due to the fear, uncertainty and doubt it generates and in the medium to longer term through the destruction of trust, integrity and shared purpose in the business. It was counter-productive and illusory, a fool's paradise, promising a united approach via change into a desired future but delivering the opposite: a destruction, a division, an entrapment in the present. Pretty damning stuff! The anger passes as you realise you are free, that the old cloak no longer fits you. It has become unpleasant to wear, you have shed it for ever. At this stage the emotions are mild anxiety, despair, neutrality, acceptance. You have let go of the old but you do not have anything yet to put in its place. At the stage of our journey, we were still left wondering how could we have got it all so wrong? Did our old change paradigm ever work? What had changed to make it so ineffective now? ______________________ Part 2 The second and final part of this article is called "The Vision Thing" appears in the next edition.

If you're doing a "long" typing session, typing on the on-screen keyboard will be very uncomfortable. While a bluetooth/USB keyboard will help with that problem, I just can't see tablets being as productive as something like a netbook, which will be far more flexible in what OS/programs you can run. There are a plethora of bluetooth keyboards at online retailers, just take a look at amazon to get an idea.

USB-OTG is indeed supported on the Nexus 7, however as anyone has used USB-OTG knows, whether peripherals or devices work is a function of the host OS and drivers. On the Nexus 7, using a mouse and keyboard is supported, and I saw Google using an Ethernet to microUSB adapter with the Nexus 7 as well. (Source)

Eutopia is a story set around the time that the eugenics movement was getting going in the United States - by odd co-incidence, exactly 100 years back from the time of the book's release. It's the story of two men - Andrew Waggoner, a black physician who finds himself working in Eliada, a mill town built on Utopian principles in northern Idaho; and Jason Thistledown, a young man who is the only survivor of a mysterious plague that wiped out his community in rural Montana. Jason arrives in Eliada, accompanying his aunt who rescued him from the plague town. Germain Frost is an early eugenicist, who's traveling America looking to catalog the weak, insane and criminal. Jason and Andrew uncover some very sinister goings-on in and around Eliada - monsters both human and otherwise. In the end, they find things that could have near-apocalyptic implications.
> Eutopia deals with some heavy subject matter, eugenics and racism. Was it a difficult book to write?
It was difficult to write, as any novel is - but not because of the heaviness of the subject matter. I've always found eugenics to be a fascinating science - in part, because it really isn't a science. Its fundamental premise - that the fact that we can and do breed for certain traits in plants and animals means that we ought to be able to better our own species by doing the same with humans - is deeply flawed, and also deeply alluring. Who wouldn't want to make things better for us, the same way we make things better for cows?
Of course, when we breed cows to be bigger and fatter and more docile, we're not making it better for the cows - we're making things better for we who eat the flesh and drink the milk.
We can breed cows and get away with it because they're a commodity. The idea that we can treat human beings as domesticated animals and do better that way marks a fundamental misreading of Darwinism - and it represents an even more fundamental moral blindness. I found this fascinating from the get-go, as I did the racism that really went hand-in-hand with the eugenics movement.
The racism was tough, but only inasmuch as I had to face the fact that if I was going to write about racism, I was going to have to write racist characters. Which meant employing some pretty ugly language. So far, nobody's complained -- but still, I flinch at that kind of talk.
> What's the appeal of writing horror?
I have been asked this question before, believe it or not. My stock answer is that horror's not - or shouldn't be - a genre; it should be an emotion that we invoke, when we write stories that are otherwise about people and the drama of their interactions in the world. So the real question is, why do I like invoking the emotion of horror in my stories about people and the world and so forth. And I think it's because horror is such a deliciously complex emotion; it's more than just being frightened at a shadow, or a tableau of gore. It's a profound unease -- a sense that the world that we know is slipping away -- and something else is there underneath. And in experiencing that sense, I think that we open ourselves up to insights and epiphanies, that otherwise wouldn't be apparent.
> Why do most of your stories take place in rural locales?
The thing about rural locales is, they can be dark. They're places where electricity is even now scarce; where smaller populations make things a lot simpler. And also - I just find the woods spooky, in a way that built-up areas aren't. They seem to be a place where dark, still magic comes to the surface.
> Beyond the matter of length, do you find it easier to write short stories or novels?
I find short stories easier, because I can understand how they work; and if they're not working, it's easier to see why. Novels are complexities layered on complexities. They're rewarding because of that, but once you get tangled up, it's a devil of a job getting untangled.
> How is collaborating with another author different from writing stories on your own?
I've collaborated seriously with two writers - sf writer Karl Schroeder and horror scribe Edo van Belkom. Both collaborations were successful; my story with Edo, "Rat Food", won the Bram Stoker award the year it was published, and my story "The Toy Mill", written with Karl, won an Aurora Award and became the basis of a novel, The Claus Effect. So the big difference is that with the right collaborator, I can write award-winning stories - something I haven't replicated on my own.
But I think the biggest difference is that writer's block is harder to sustain with a collaborator. When you hit a tough spot in a plot all on your own, it's really just you against the blank screen. With a collaborator, you can brainstorm around a block until you're past it.
It's also really a pleasure, working with the right collaborator. You gain different insights into a story -- and the story itself gains the capacity to surprise you as a reader as well as an author.
> Does reporting on municipal politics influence your writing?
Generally I keep a church-and-state separation between my reporting work and my fiction work. During the day, I cover Toronto City Hall for the Toronto Community News group of newspapers; by night, I write terrifying stories about betrayal, hypocrisy and monstrosities...
There are some who might say there's not much difference between those two things, come to think of it. And I did write one story (barely 500 words) called "The Mayor Will Make A Brief Statement and Then Take Questions", which was directly influenced by my love of city politics; another story, years back, "Extispicy", that mingled land-use planning with entrail-reading.
So it's all grist.
> What made you want to be a writer?
I've wanted to be a writer from toddler-age on. My mom used to take dictation and write up my Captain Scarlet fan-fiction when I was tiny, in little books made from drawing-pad paper and string. So really, I've wanted to be a writer literally as long as I can remember. What made me want to be a one? Some trauma in the crib, is my best guess...
> If you could, would you change places with any of your characters?
Have you _seen_ what happens to my characters? No. No. Just no.
> Do you have any advice for hopeful authors?
The next bit is based on my own experience. Find a writing workshop, with good writers not far off from your own level of expertise. Show those stories you've written to the workshop, and read the work of the other writers there. You'll be amazed how clarifying that process is, and how quickly you improve. It certainly worked for me, when I joined the Cecil Street Irregulars writing workshop, literally decades ago.
You must also, of course, send the story out to an editor with some hope of publication. But that goes without saying - doesn't it?
> How do you discipline yourself to write?
