How to get around Paris? The Metro and bus system is excellent: cheap and frequent, with a dense network of lines and services. But, in three of theplast seven days, the system has been halted by a strike for all or part of the day.
The transport strike was called after a Metro security officer was "attacked" by illegal jewellery vendors and died. Within hours, the police announced that the man had died of natural causes. He was not even pushed, and was known to be sick. The unions and, mysteriously, the management of the Paris transport company, the RATP, insisted on sticking with the original version. The strikes went ahead, disrupting the lives of hundreds of thousands of Parisians and tourists.
The museum strike, meanwhile, was supported by only about 15 per cent of employees, yet management and govern-ment did not challenge the picket lines set up outside almost every nationally run museum in Paris and several in the provinces.
As a result, the Louvre - the highlight of many visits to the French capital - has been closed for almost three weeks; so has the Musee d'Orsay, home of the state collection of Impressionist paintings; so have the peaceful gardens of the Musee Rodin.
"Some tourists are becoming aggressive," Daniel Le Bavant, president of the hotel owners' federation in the greater Paris area, said. "They want their money back and say they'll never come to Paris again."
Hotels and tour operators have looked for alternatives, with little success. There is a 25 per cent increase in visits to the military museum at Les Invalides, but most visitors feel that a distant view of Napoleon's tomb cannot compare with a first glimpse of the Mona Lisa.
The Louvre has turned away about 320,000 visitors in the past 20 days, losing pounds 800,000 and raising the prospect that several exhibitions scheduled for later this year will be cancelled. Shopkeepers in the Carrousel, the museum's underground shopping centre, are protesting against the protesters. One banner said: "10,000 tourists, 49 shops, 400 employees of the Carrousel and 60,000,000 French people: taken hostage by 80 strikers."
A kind of settlement was announced yesterday, and the museums should reopen today. But unions are adamant that the action is merely suspended until the end of this month, and will be resumed if the government reneges on its promises. A particular bone of con- tention is whether staff will be paid for their days on strike.
Tourists cannot relax yet.

Previous theories of personality have introduced the concepts of ego states, complexes, subsystems, subpersonalities, and subselves. A series of postulates and corollaries are proposed in the present paper that form the skeleton of a formal theory of personality based on the concept of subselves. Structural, developmental, psychopathological, and psychotherapeutic implications are discussed.

CMIQ Global Tactical Balanced Index
The CMIQ Global Tactical - Balanced Index consists of a rules-based approach that invests globally across a broadly diversified portfolio of asset classes. The strategy seeks to maximize growth during positive stock market trends while minimizing losses during bear markets.
Quantitative Tactical Methodology – provides an unemotional, unbiased ranking methodology that is systematically applied on a monthly basis.
Volatility, Relative Momentum and Trend Measurements – the strategy's quantitative process measures the volatility, relative momentum, and trend strength to determine which assets to invest in. Of particular importance is the expectation that future returns are proportional to the amount of risk.
Portfolio Diversification – the strategy invests in a basket of as many as 4 major asset-classes each month representing a diversified mixture of global regions, sectors, styles, or fixed income securities.
Dynamic Rebalancing – the strategy automatically adapts its allocation based upon current market conditions. The strategy increases equity exposure when conditions are favorable and conversely, will decrease its exposure to equities, in favor of fixed-income securities when the model indicates that the markets have become too risky.
Portfolio Concentration Guidelines – the portfolio may own as much as 60% equities and 40% fixed-income to as much as 100% fixed-income and cash equivalents depending upon market conditions.
Monthly Rebalancing – the model is rebalanced at the end of every month.

Hypothetical Disclosure: The performance results represent hypothetical results for the CMIQ Global Tactical - Balanced Index (the "Index") during the measurement time period. CMIQ has not yet utilized the Index in managing actual client portfolios. The hypothetical performance results reflect the reinvestment of dividends but do not reflect other earnings or brokerage commissions and custodian expenses because the performance was derived from back-tested results and does not reflect actual performance. The hypothetical performance results are net of ETF expenses and do not reflect the maximum advisor fee that would have been charged by CMIQ during the measurement period. The hypothetical results may differ materially from actual results based upon various factors. Past performance may not be indicative of future results. Therefore, no client should assume that future performance will be profitable, equal the hypothetical performance results reflected for the Index, or equal the corresponding historical benchmark index The historical index performance results for the indices reflect reinvested dividends, but do not reflect the deduction of transaction and custodial charges, or the deduction of an advisor fee, the incurrence of which would have the effect of decreasing the historical index performance results. The historical index performance results are provided for comparison purposes only, so as to provide general information to assist a prospective client in determining whether the index's hypothetical performance meets the client's investment objectives. Historical index performance results do not reflect the impact of taxes. It should not be assumed that account holdings will correspond directly to any such comparative benchmark index. Further, the comparative index may be more or less volatile than the Index.Limitations of Hypothetical Index Results: The Index results reflect hypothetical, back-tested results that were achieved by means of the retroactive application of a back-tested Index and, as such, the corresponding results have inherent limitations, including, but not limited to, the following:(a) the Index results do not reflect the results of actual trading by CMIQ or use of CMIQ client assets, but were achieved by means of the retroactive application of each of the referenced underlying investments, each of which was chosen with the benefit of hindsight;(b) back-tested performance results may not reflect the impact that all or any material market or economic conditions might have had on use of the Index, if the Index had been used, during the measurement period; and(c) for various reasons, CMIQ clients may have experienced investment results it they used the Index, either positive and negative, during the measurement period that may have been materially different from those reflected by the Index hypothetical performance results. For example, variances in client account holdings, investment management fees incurred, the date on which a client began using the Index, client account contributions or withdrawals and general market conditions, may have caused the performance of a specific client's account to vary substantially from the Index hypothetical performance results. All hypothetical performance results have been compiled by CMIQ, and have not been independently verified. Different types of investments and investment strategies involve varying levels of risk, and there can be no assurance that any specific investment or strategy will be either suitable or profitable for a prospective client.Disclaimer: Returns do not include brokerage expenses or a maximum 2% advisor fee billed quarterly in arrears.

Apologies, apologies, 100x I'm sorry. Just like Elton and the boys from Blue (now that is a blast from the past) I want to know what I gotta do to make you love me. I abandoned you all, so here's a bunch of great tunes I've listened to that hopefully cover all bases and mean we aren't in this silly fight any more.
Sugah Daddy – D'Angelo & The Vanguard
I feel like it might be a tad ambitious to compare my return to the internet with d'Angelo's return to all of our lives, but I'm tentatively going there anyway. But seriously, this guy is the man. Those first few notes kick and it all feels good, and then he comes in and the groove is well and truly back. Uptown Funk might be dominating every airwave ever, but this song is where it's really at. If any song has brought back funk and soul in this brief part of 2015, then it's definitely d'Angelo and his vibes that are deserving of all our attention. Somewhere between those horns and his ridiculously groovy hooks, the man is back.
Hot Mess – Benson ft. Lex Famous (Dom Dolla Remix)
That's officially got to be one of our longer artist titles, but between the three of them, this is an absolute banger. Every pre-drinks I think I've hosted /hijacked the music of, this has immediately featured, and then every club night I've been on has inevitably left me waiting for someone to finally play this ( T Swift offers me some comfort with her ability to pop up at every cheese night imaginable ) I feel like this song completely revolves around it's main beat, and as much as it adds on top of it, between vocals and synth kicks and whatever, it's that simple main beat that keeps you going. Fair credit to the song, that its simple beat can be what keeps me going after repeat number 11 and request to stop singing number 4.
The Blacker The Berry – Kendrick Lamar
I feel like it was sort of inevitable I would have been bumping any new Kendrick material that came out. After the much catchier and, on face surface, happy I, it was interesting to see Kendrick spit hard on this and weigh in with some hugely provocative topics and topical ideas. In the wake of a huge backlash against the American police, with events in Ferguson leading to widespread rioting there, it was interesting to hear some of his views on it all. He has taken some flak for his views, but I for one find it really interesting to hear what he has to say. I don't want to give too much away, but have a listen and see where you stand on the whole matter.

BRUSSELS, March 19, 2015 — After years of spectacular attacks and territorial gains made in West Africa, Boko Haram seems to be on the defensive. Finally, the seemingly endless series of kidnappings, killings and overall havoc-wreaking has lessened as regional and international powers have stepped up their efforts to help Nigeria combat the Islamist threat. Now, not only has Abuja, Nigeria's capital, set its sights on the total destruction of the organization, but it has also received the subtle support of both Washington and Paris.
Chad and Niger have pushed deep into northern Nigeria, defeating Boko Haram forces in a series of successful clashes. The two sub-Saharan nations, along with Cameroon and Benin, have committed 8,700 troops to a pan-African force dedicated to eradicating the terrorist group. While Chad and Niger pushed from the north, Nigeria has struck from the south, forcing the terrorists to fight a two-front war. This increased regional willingness to confront the organization will lead to the ultimate defeat of Boko Haram, perhaps even by the end of the month, as the Nigerian government has promised.
After meeting with leaders from Cameroon, Niger, Chad and Benin in Paris in 2014, Nigeria began to put in place measures to ensure that these nations could put aside old tensions in their fight against Boko Haram. Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan's "commitment to a regional approach" is now paying dividends.
In a last-ditch attempt to regain some of the lost territory, Boko Haram recently joined hands with ISIS, raising fears of an imminent flow of jihadists from the Middle East. Prior to this, President Jonathan claimed that Boko Haram was receiving training and support from ISIS. However, it is not just Boko Haram that is garnering international support, as Nigeria is also beginning to work with partners in Europe and the U.S. to eradicate the extremist threat.
French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian has declared that France will increase its West African contingent, based in the Chadian capital of N'Djamena, from its current level of 3,000. Drian has been emphatic in his resistance to using these forces in combat against Boko Haram, but the force will serve as a deterrent and provide support to African forces fighting in the Lake Chad region. Diplomatically, France is pushing for a U.N. Security Council resolution calling for a 10,000-strong fighting force made up of African forces with the express purpose of fighting Boko Haram.
The United States has sent assistance since the mass kidnappings of the 276 girls from Chibok in the summer of 2014. Besides endorsing the #BringBackOurGirls viral hashtag, the White House deployed 80 advisors and has launched drones to assist in information gathering operations under an agreement that allows American intelligence to share analysis and information with Nigerian officials. American forces are also working with Nigerian counterparts to build the capacity of the Nigerian military to plan, lead and execute counter-terrorism operations. Nigeria has also enlisted hundreds of mercenaries from South Africa to make a final push to secure the northeast before the March 28 presidential elections.
Indeed, after several years of half-hearted efforts at tackling Boko Haram, the upcoming elections provided the Jonathan administration with sufficient motivation to grab the bull by its horns. His main opponent, former military general, oil bigwig and authoritarian head of state Muhammadu Buhari, turned Boko Haram into his main campaign issue.
Hiding his dismal streak of human rights abuses, arbitrary executions and crackdown on the media and civil society during his tenure as head of state in the 1980s, Buhari vowed to adopt a harder stance towards the terrorist group. To put the frustration of Nigerians into perspective, the general has gained support the in spite of his comments that he will stop at nothing to spread Sharia law throughout the country, in spite of the fact that almost half the population is Christian.
At the end of February, the two candidates were polling neck and neck in what was slated to become Nigeria's most contested election, but with Boko Haram taking a beating, the 72-year-old general has seen a big part of his political platform eroded. Despite his multiple failings and reluctance to stamp out corruption, Jonathan could still go on and win the March 28 poll.
Boko Haram's unexpected positive effect
Nothing can bring people aboard the same boat better than a common enemy. Boko Haram, which seemed unstoppable at the beginning of the year after the devastating attack on Baga that left 2,000 dead, overplayed its hand when it challenged the sovereignty of Nigeria's neighbors and pledged its allegiance to ISIS.
Unwittingly, not only has Boko Haram convinced the African countries to set aside old disputes and suspicions, but also it gave Nigeria the impetus to forge new partnerships with Western powers.
These developments will not only have a positive effect on current affairs in West Africa, but also may turn into long-lasting relationships between old enemies, while developing the possibility of regional military and security consensus, with Nigeria at its center.Click here for reuse options!

Ideally, we recommend you visit Doña Esthela for an early lunch on an empty stomach (we'd call it brunch, but you won't find mimos here). See, after trying the handmade queso fresco and tortilla chips no older than your appetite, the servings of the day's offerings can be a tad daunting. Doña Esthela is known for her generosity, meaning your chorizo and cheese burritos, Caldo de Res (beef stew), or serving of their specialty Borrego Tatemado is being brought to you in true Mexican abuelita quantities – and rest assured you're expected to eat it. This won't be an issue once you've tasted the (massive) homemade tortillas. As usual, take in the scene. These types of restaurants in Mexico serve a specific purpose, catering partly to the region's local workforce, but mostly to families from the surrounding cities on a countryside outing. This spot is humble as it is welcoming, so don't be surprised if you catch a crowd waiting for a table on weekends. If you're there on a Friday, don't skip the adobe oven churned breads.

Kenwood KAC-9106D
19 Reviews
Kenwood Performance Series car amplifiers offer long-term reliability and superior sound quality in a compact, no-nonsense package. The KAC-9105D mono sub punches out up to 900 watts RMS to your subwoofers. A rugged cast-aluminum heatsink combines with two cooling fans to keep this amp running at optimal temperatures, even when you're pushing your system hard. And this bass workhorse will handle a 1-ohm load without breaking a sweat, so go ahead and hook up multiple subs.
A built-in low-pass filter lets you adjust the output so you'll get the best sound possible from your subwoofer/box combo. You can dial in up to 18 dB of bass boost if you want to fatten up the sound. A switchable subsonic filter eliminates inaudible, ultra-low noise that could detract from your sub's performance.
An aluminum cover plate covers and protects the amp's controls and connections, giving your installation a professional look. Speaker-level inputs and signal sensing turn-on allow these amps to hook up to factory radios without preamp outputs.
Awesome for a small AMPLIFIER

MOSFET Switching Power Supply: The amplifier utilizes a MOSFET switching power supply providing thermal stability and efficient switching speeds guaranteeing performance and dependability.
Mono-Power Amp Design: The Kenwood KAC-9105D is designed with specific features to power your subwoofers with a frequency range between 10-200 Hz. The amplifier can handle impedance loads down to 1-ohm.
CEA 2006 Compliant: The KAC-9105D's power ratings are measured according to the strict standards dictated by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards allow you to accurately compare the rated power output of all CEA 2006-compliant amplifiers, even if they come from different brands. Manufacturers who adhere to the standards can display the CEA 2006 logo on their products and packaging. Amplifier Power Ratings:
Note: This amplifier is not designed to power a full-range speaker.
Cast Aluminum Heat Sink: The Kenwood KAC-9105D utilizes a cast aluminum heat sink design to ensure that the amplifier stays at its optimal temperature.
Fan Cooled: There are two fans and two vents located on the back side of the amplifier to help dissipate heat and ensure cool, reliable operation. Make sure not to block these vents or fans when you install the amplifier.
Protection circuitry: The amplifier features protection circuits that will turn the amp off in case of the following events:
Aluminum Cover Plate: The amplifier's controls and connections are hidden under a removable extruded aluminum cover plate. The cover plate provides a professional looking installing while helping to protect the amplifier's connections and control settings. The cover is held in place by two hex head screws. An allen-wrench is supplied to remove the cover.
Blue/Red Illumination: The Kenwood Mono-Channel amplifier features a blue and red LED illumination when the amplifier is turned on. When the power is turned on to the amplifier, the Power indicator will light up red. This indicator will turn off with the amplifier and will turn off if the amplifier goes into protect mode. The amplifier also features a Blue LED lamp on the top of the amplifier which illuminates when the amplifier is on.
Signal-sensing Turn-On Circuitry: When the speaker-level input is used, it is not necessary to connect the power control wire (turn-on lead). The amplifier senses the signal from the speaker-level input and turns the amplifier power on automatically. Shortly after no signal is detected, the amplifier will automatically shut itself off.
Gain: To accommodate the varying range of signal levels coming from today's factory and aftermarket radios, the Kenwood KAC-9105D features an adjustable, independent gain control (0.2-5.0V). This means that no matter what kind of radio is connected to this amplifier, the appropriate gain control adjustment can be made to ensure loud, clear, distortion-free music.
Low-Pass Filter: The KAC-9105D has a built-in 24dB/octave low-pass filter that is continuously variable from 50Hz to 200Hz.
Bass Boost: The bass boost is adjustable from 0-18dB at 40Hz.
Phase Switch: This amplifier is equipped with a 2-way phase switch. You can choose 0° (normal phase) or 180° (reverse phase), whichever position results in stronger performance for the subwoofer.
Infrasonic Filter: This amp features an 18dB/octave Infrasonic Filter. Ultra-low frequencies that cannot be reproduced by a subwoofer do not become sound but become unnecessary oscillations, which affect sound by causing distortion. These frequencies also waste amplifier power and can cause damage to speakers. Setting the Infrasonic filter switch to 15Hz or 25Hz cuts the frequencies below the respective frequency to improve the reproduction performance of the speakers by eliminating harmful distortion.
Power Connections: The power and ground connections are 0.5625" wide screw terminals that will accommodate up to 4-gauge wire. The remote turn-on terminal is 0.3125" wide and will accept up to 8-gauge wire. A Phillips-head or flat blade screw driver (not supplied) is required to tighten/loosen the terminals. Spade connectors are recommended for the power, ground, and remote wires.
Speaker Outputs: The Kenwood KAC-9105D is equipped with two pairs of gold-plated speaker terminals for an easy parallel subwoofer connection. All four speaker terminals are 0.3125" wide screw terminals and will accommodate up to 8-gauge wire. A Phillips-head or flat blade screw driver (not supplied) is required to tighten/loosen the terminals. Spade connectors are recommended for the speaker wires.
Line Level Input: The mono-channel amplifier is equipped with a single pair of gold-plated RCA line level inputs.
Speaker Level Input: The KAC-9105D comes with a two channel speaker level input harness. Once you splice the speaker wires from the receiver to the harness, you have plug-in convenience to the amplifier. This feature makes it easier to add an amplifier to a factory radio or to a receiver with no preamp outputs. The maximum power output from the source receiver can be no more than 40 watts.
Line Level Output: The amplifier has a pair of gold-plated RCA line level outputs for feeding a full-range stereo signal to another amplifier. It is the same signal that is input through the line inputs. The amplifier's crossovers have no effect on the line level output signal.
Fuses: The KAC-9105D is equipped with three 30 amp ATO blade fuses.

Take a look at this video for cool, laid back style inspiration. All items are from the Row, the high end designer collection from the Olsen twins. For me the highlight of the collection is their perfect white t-shirt, which I am yet to find. I have found similar ones from....yes you guessed it....Topshop, but when I have the money to spare, I will def be investing in one. American apparel t-shirts are highly praised, but to tell you the truth I don't see the fascination.
Take a look at the video and let me know what you think.

Career Integrity
Does anyone knowingly plan to carry the baggage of a less than admirable reputation? I think not, but here are some true examples of how candidates may create their own demise.
Multiple Job Offers – Not long ago an Engineering Director accepted a local position culminating a long, difficult interviewing and decision-making process. Following a grueling job search he made the finals with two different companies. Both were outstanding opportunities, but the first job offer came from his second choice. He bought a long weekend to discuss the offer with the family while he went to his first choice and let them know he would only be available for a limited time. They would not commit. He accepted the offer he had on the table. Thirty days later his first choice company finally extended their offer. Giving his new employer of only 30 days two-weeks notice, he accepted the second offer. Six months later he was downsized and made sure his disappointment was noted. The results? Two local employers and two recruiters were privy to the questionable loyalty of one Director. Word had also spread quickly to his direct reports. Not a position of strength from which to again job hunt.
Day to Day Workplace Politics – Are you a team player? If not word may spread. Do you take exclusive credit for the work of your colleagues or verbally reprimand a subordinate in the presence of others? The extreme popularity of the television show Survivor demonstrates how calculated use and abuse sometimes results in victory and how we live in the midst of manipulation. However in the real world, negative behavior toward folks who don't seem to make a difference in your career advancement may leave you with a scar nearly impossible to overcome. One small comment from a past jilted colleague in the company from which you seeking an offer may kill the deal that you work so hard to negotiate. Employers face too much risk to make a hiring mistake and will listen to the least whisper of negativity.
Unhappy Endings – We know not to burn bridges but sometimes, when we believe we have not been treated fairly, it is tempting to leave a bad situation abruptly rather than with consideration and a pleasant face. Employers talk to each other, and remember your resume is in the hands of the company you are about to leave. Employers know where you've worked in the past. We teach our clients to recommend their replacements if possible and then offer to train them. Professionals are either remembered for their lack of respect or their willingness to go beyond the call of duty before they exit.
In the world of networking, it's not just who you know, it's who knows you. One large, local company includes an introduction to an entire department as part of the final interview. As we ascend in our careers we are likely to become known to an increased number of people, and while we need to be honest, ethical and pleasant on principle, we need to be aware that those we've met on our way up the ladder may indeed be the reason we can no longer continue the climb.

Travel Shaving Set Florentine Leather
Travel Shaving Set Florentine Leather
Travel in style! Your grooming ritual deserves masculine and aesthetic accessories, also when on the move.
2-piece travel shaving set without bowl, handles chrome-plated:
- Shaving brush with Silvertip Fibre®
- Shaving brush size M = medium shaving brush head with 21 mm ring to screw off
- 5-blade razor, compatible with Gillette® Fusion™
- High quality leather pouch for storing the set
- The leather cases are completely handmade by Florentine artisans.
The Material - Chrome
Without chrome the world would forfeit a lot of its lustre. In the finish used for our wet shaving accessories it demonstrates its best qualities: The material is corrosion-resistant, very long-lasting and has a luxurious, alluring lustre. When contrasted with this, the colours and shapes of other premium materials are shown to their very best advantage.
The Brushhead - Silvertip Fibre®
The high-quality synthetic fibres represent a world first of our own invention. We offer a synthetically produced premium quality whose material characteristics are analogous to those of the precious natural hair, silvertip badger. The majority of the users even say that this quality actually provides better performance characteristics than the natural hair.
'Silvertip Fibre®' is very soft at its fine tips, but somewhat more stable than natural hair in the middle section. These characteristics produce a pleasant, soft sensation on the skin when the lather is applied, without having to forgo the desired firmness of the hairs in the lathering process. In daily use, the manually processed fibres are less sensitive than natural hair as they dry more quickly and are resistant to shaving soaps and creams.
The completely vegan fibres are also somewhat easier to use than natural hair as they produce a particularly creamy and thick lather from a small amount of shaving soap or cream, which is used much more sparingly as a result.
The Razorhead - Gillette® Fusion™
The latest shaving system from Gillette® embraces five blades positioned one above the other as well as a precision edging blade located on the back of the cartridge. This design ensures a very close and gentle shave. Its simple and safe handling is ideal even for newcomers. The blades are available from retailers everywhere.
The Travel Series - Elegant and easily stowed away
Equipped with the best performance characteristics of the "large" series, our special range for travel shaving is particularly functional and lightweight. The unscrewable brushes are perfectly protected while travelling in their elegant casings made of anodised aluminium or chrome-plated metal.
The bristle load used is Silvertip Fibre®, which dries very quickly and is highly durable. To accommodate a complete travel kit including brush and razor in style and safety we offer fine leather cases handcrafted in Florentine style, finished in black or brown.
- By Mühle
This product is final sale.
Delivery time of at least 10 working days.

Do you look at a new catalogue and want EVERYTHING?
I've seen a sneak peak of the new catalogue and all the gorgeous Designer Series Papers and lots of new ribbons styles and colours.
If you are like me, you'll want them all!! Here's a way to do it, without breaking the bank: Join my Shares!!
I buy the papers and ribbons as a group and divide them up so each person gets a usable amount. You will pay a fraction of the price to get a little bit of everything. I have three share options. I will package up all your items in labelled bags, so you know exactly what colours and items are in each bag.
As per Stampin' Up! rules, I can't share a picture of these items in the catalogue, until June 1st. But trust me when I say they are gorgeous and you will want them all.
How It Works:
Crafters sign up for the share. Each share group consists of 8 people. As per Stampin' UP! Rules, I can only order the materials once I have all shares assigned. Once the groups are full, I will invoice you and then place the order. When the items arrive, I sort them, divide them, cut them, and bag and label them. You can pick them up at my place in Burlington or for a $14 fee I can mail them to you (one mailing fee if even if Combo selected). I mail to you in a Priority Post envelope so that it gets to you quickly and I can track the parcel so it does go missing.

1) Designer Paper
2) Ribbons
3) Combo
What you get:

Strategic Choice or Desperation
If you are bewildered by how Trump's cabinet can sing his praises while lurching from one scandal to another, this piece about the power and draw of the "inner ring" might help explain. From CS Lewis – Interestingly, CS Lewis challenged Sigmund Freud's dogma that the sex drive is the strongest drive that humans have and suggested that the desire to be part of the "in" group the Inner Ring is stronger.
Why would a dictator gas his own people? The answer may not be what you think. In Syria's brutal civil war it has been documented that there have been atrocities on both sides. One particular atrocity, the gassing of the civilian population with hundreds of children dying gruesomely stands out. The USA's reaction to this has finally gotten Syria to admit that it has chemical weapons and though it denies being the source of the attack the evidence in the media is pretty persuasive that the Syrian government is gassing its own population. Syria's denials take the form of logic rather than evidence. They pose the question, why would we gas people in locations where our own troops could be affected? That question presupposes that Syria cares enough about their own troops not to expose them to gas, which is a dubious assumption, but it is also misdirection from the…

A few years old, but more relevant than ever! Jeff
"From the children's point of view it was hard to tell a neighbor from a relative. She is like a sister to me was said in all sincerity. Door-to-door living over long periods of time made these people true kin to each other. The only difference between neighbors and relatives was that the neighbors went home to sleep; the relatives could climb into bed with you." (Sam Levenson, Everything but Money).
The fact that neighbors went home to sleep and relatives could climb into your bed was information that helped a small child differentiate relatives from neighborhood friends in a crowded, confusing world encompassing the tenements of East Harlem in the early 1900s. Information, we are always searching for more in order to help us make sense of our world, to help us interpret the events by which we are surrounded, to help us make better decisions, but then we…

Mental Illness at Work
"Neurotics build castles in the sky, psychotics live in them." My professor for a course called abnormal psychology made that statement as a way of remembering the difference between these two classes of mental illness. While the thinking around many aspects of mental illness has shifted and continues to evolve since that statement was made, that stark difference between people with neurosis who fantasize, sometimes as an escape from reality, and psychotics who can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality remains.
While people talk about mental illness as some sort of all-encompassing disease the term mental illness is not at all precise, nor is it very useful. From the Mayo Clinic: "Mental illness refers to a wide range of mental health conditions — disorders that affect your mood, thinking and behavior. Examples of mental illness include depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, eating disorders and addictive behaviors. Many people have mental…

Generation Face-Off: Millennial vs. Baby Boomer
Note to staff on science & immigration/visitor ban
This weekend has ended up being one of great turmoil for our nation. Our new president has signed a series of executive orders and has imposed other rules which are very questionable from a legal, moral, and scientific standpoint.
Gag orders have been imposed on organizations like the EPA – the Environmental Protection Agency, charged with protecting our environment not only for ourselves, but for future generations, the CDC – The Centers for Disease Control, The National Park Service as well as a host of others. What this gag order does is prevent the dissemination of peer reviewed scientific research without vetting from the White House on its political implications. This strikes at the very foundations of the scientific process and at a cornerstone of what has made this nation a leader in research and innovation, but it also begins the process of degrading the notion of data sanctity. Over the years I have had conversations with some clients who wanted me to present results in a certain "light", whether it is one that was more favorable to them or one that made a specific point. At one client I was fired by the board after I would not create a story that was critical of the CEO (they wanted to get rid of him) – a story that the data did not support. I will not violate the sanctity of our data at any time. This attempt to undermine the scientific process has the potential to do great harm to the nation and to our futures and I will join other researchers and scientists as we resist this attempt. The nation's Park Rangers, have begun an information dissemination program that is independent of the government and pushing out facts on climate change. See for instance: https://qz.com/894622/its-no-surprise-the-national-park-service-is-defying-trump-it-is-deathly-serious-about-climate-change/. I expect many other efforts to provide unvarnished scientific truth to emerge.
The new president also issued an executive order barring refugees and other immigrants from certain Muslim nations. The second part of what has made America great, beyond our science has been the flow of immigrants that has powered many of our most innovative organizations over the years. Who among us can go back more than a few generations and not find immigrants in our ancestry? We are a nation of immigrants and that, unquestionably, has made us stronger. Many technology companies, have already expressed alarm at this order. Google has recalled any employees traveling on business, telling them to return to the USA. Microsoft, Apple, & Facebook have expressed their opposition to the order. Many others have voiced similar concerns.
As some of you may know, my daughter was accepted at MIT. She is scheduled to start there this fall. There are a number of her high school peers from other nations who will now be banned from entering the country to attend MIT with her. She is in communication with them. They are distraught as they see lifelong dreams and their futures going up in smoke because of pandering to a political base. MIT is trying to figure out how to get these kids here so they can study, but right now the door is closed. This order is affecting real people in disastrous ways.
And of course the science behind a ban like this in an attempt to prevent terrorism is non-existent. And those of us who have worked in selection know how weak this approach, painting a class of people with a broad brush, really is. Not to mention that punishing a class of people for the actions of a few is considered a war crime under the Geneva Convention and a religious test is a direct violation of the constitution.
I have signed an academic petition (based on my teaching in the MBA program at Binghamton University) in opposition to this order, along with thousands of other academics, including some of the most accomplished in the world. I am proud to be able to add my name to the list. https://notoimmigrationban.com/. Last night in support of the efforts to resist this order I also joined the ACLU – the American Civil Liberties Union, who are challenging it in court. They also won a short-term victory, getting a stay issued for those people who were being held at the nation's airports, preventing them from being deported. There is of course much more that needs to be done.
In terms of how this new president's approach of wall building will affect us, I wrote a blog piece describing how it will imperil innovation at companies and in the nation in general. Read it here: https://jeffreysaltzman.wordpress.com/2017/01/26/the-big-lie-walls-and-innovation/.
For those of you, within OV, who feel personal uncertainty, for yourself or for family, please know that we will support you and help you through this turbulent time.
Warmest Regards,
Prediction 2017
The start of a new calendar year is upon us. Everyone wants to know what is in store for us, and there is no shortage of those willing to make predictions. After such an abysmal year in trying to predict election outcomes you would think there would be some hesitation in offering prognostications.
There are those who extensively study prediction making, such as Phil Tetlock and his Good Judgement Project. He documented his work in a book he co-authored with Dan Gardner, called Superforecasting, the Art and Science of Prediction. He identified people, by nature of their approach to problem solving and prediction, who were much better than average at determining likely outcomes to an event or situation. The very best of them knew that they did not have all the answers, were always questioning themselves, acknowledged their mistakes and failures, were always looking for more information, and were willing to adjust and change their predictions based on that new information. He summed up their approach as "try, fail, analyze, adjust, try again".
Phil's recommendations for doing good forecasting include:
- Use predictive techniques on problems that can be predicted. Don't try to predict, for instance, what life will be like 50, 100 or 150 years from now. The answers will be sheer nonsense.
- Break complex predictions into a series of less complex predictions. You are better off trying to predict one aspect of life 50 years out, not everything.
- Consider both insider and outsider sources of information. An insider (your contractor) might say, in predicting how much a kitchen remodel might cost, that it would cost X. By doing your research you would find that kitchen remodels more than a third of the time run over budget by substantial amounts (outsider source of information) and you should adjust your contractors estimate accordingly.
- Don't over or underreact to evidence as it becomes available and don't fall into the trap of wishful thinking (just because you want something to be true does not make it true).
- Open yourself up to considering both sides on an issue. (But make your consideration based on scientific evidence).
- Think about your predictions with percentages of certainty and uncertainty. Very few things in life are binary, either/or. Think about your prediction as a likelihood number – say 65% or 75% certain.
- Don't become frozen by "analysis paralysis". Balance making a prediction needed to take action, with the need to continually refine your predictions.
- Learn from your mistaken predictions, but don't fall into the cognitive traps and biases commonly found.
- Listen to others and consider their insights.
- You get better at making good decisions by practicing and honing your decision-making skills and abilities.
- Don't blindly follow these or any other rules. Realize that each situation can be different.
In today's environment, I would add, 12. Don't give into fear. Realize that many people will be trying to influence your personal predictions and your perceptions of future events by manipulating your emotions and thinking patterns in order to achieve their own ends. And 13. With the abundance of fake news and fake information that is now all around us, check your sources. Make sure they are legitimate. We all need to take lessons on how to be better at predicting, for the decisions and predictions that we make have real consequences on people's lives.
Psychologists spend a lot of time trying to predict behaviors. In my first job after graduate school, I was tasked with trying to predict which person would make the best steel worker, the best bearing manufacturer, executive assistant, or corporate manager among other occupations. All of those predictions were based on probabilities and not absolute judgments. And I would have to say that many (maybe most) did not understand that. In order to make better predictions in this area, one technique used by psychologists is called a "multiple hurdle" approach. This means that the prediction of who would be the best steel worker, for instance, had multiple decision points where a candidate either passed for failed. Did they score high enough, compared to other successful steel workers, on a test of math ability? The kind of math required to do the job. If they did, they moved onto the next hurdle. If not, they were rejected. Could a person who failed the math test make a good steel worker? Yes, but the odds were longer. The more hurdles, in general the better the prediction. The cost of each hurdle had to be taken into consideration against the added value it gave in prediction. (In my work, at the time, I determined that the most predictive assessment for steel workers was the Bennett Test of Mechanical Comprehension, it measured people's understanding of how the physical world operated. It was a test, mostly non-verbal, of innate understanding of the properties of mechanics and physics).
At my current company, OrgVitality, which I founded with several partners, a good portion of our work on assessing organizational culture is aimed at prediction as well. Some of the questions we attempt to answer for clients include: What pattern of responses to an organizational survey, will best enable, making it more likely, that an organization can fulfill its strategic mission? (And how do you increase the likelihood of success?) Where in the organization are there response patterns that are indicative (more likely to occur) of higher levels of innovation, customer service, sales success, safety, ethics, etc.? What response pattern is indicative of less turnover and more future success for employees? And we like to examine those factors in terms of present performance and future potential. Scott Brooks and I wrote a book called Creating the Vital Organization which examines our approach in detail. One aspect of prediction the company is working upon and continually fine-tuning, is to determine, through various algorithms, which comments an employee or customer may make which are the most valuable in terms of organizational improvement and to have the very best rise to the top out of a pile of tens or hundreds of thousands.
Some pressing questions of prediction in the public sphere today revolve around violence and mass killings. Can we predict who will cause mayhem and violence in our society and importantly can we prevent the violence from happening? If we look at 85 tracked mass shootings from 1982 to 2016 the demographics of those who committed these crimes in our society, a pattern emerges. Most of the mass murders were committed by around 30 year old, white men, a significant portion of which had a history of some sort of mental illness. The vast majority, as far as can be determined were not Muslim (about ½ of 1% were Muslim), even though those committed by Muslims garner much attention. Most obtained their guns legally and were not prohibited from owning the weapon. Who has access to guns to commit these crimes? The largest percent are more likely to live outside of the northeastern part of the USA, 41% are white, 51% live in rural environments, 49% self-identified as Republicans (22% as Democrat) and 41% identify themselves as having a conservative ideology. Using this profile, logic and statistics (and I am doing this to point out a flaw in this reasoning), if we take guns away from 30 year old white, non-Muslim men, who live in rural environments and have conservative beliefs we will greatly reduce the incidence of mass murders in our country. The flaw in this logic should be obvious to you. Of the 30 year old, white, non-Muslim men, who live in rural environments and have conservative beliefs, less than a fraction of one-tenth of 1% will commit mass murders. 99.99% of them will not commit any crimes with their weapons. Taking away the guns from all of them is like putting out a match with the Pacific Ocean. It simply does not make sense. Yet there are those who are willing to use this very same type of flawed logic to castigate all Muslims or those with mental illnesses. It doesn't work there either. Americans are being skillfully manipulated to come to erroneous conclusions.
I am reminded of an adult education class discussion I attended, where there was much discussion of how violent the 20th century was, with huge numbers being slaughtered in WWI and WWII. I made the statement that in general humanity over the millennia was becoming less violent (and there is one hypothesis that we are self-domesticating, weeding out the most violent among us). My statement was met with much derision. Those who ridiculed my statement where falling prey to at least one human bias – what you see is all there is. If you look at the larger context, which they were not, you realize that historically, the conquerors, the crusaders and warlords of millennia ago, killed much larger percentages of the population than what occurs today. For instance it is estimated that Genghis Khan killed 40% of the total global population as he conquered much of Asia. I am certainly not condoning or dismissing the levels of violence that occur today.
So what can we predict for 2017? Anything beyond the sun will come up in the morning and set at night? Yes, probabilistic predictions can be made, as long as they are about specific manageable, measurable issues which are surround by scientific facts, (important facts, not red herrings), all the information available is taken into consideration and you are careful not to fall into the traps of human bias and predisposition. Happy predicting!
