Pretty cool album. I saw these guys live in a Masonic Lodge, it was great.

Album Rating: 3.0My only gripe with this album is the singing;
He has one tone. That's it.
I had a review for this half written.... oh well.
Finish it man. And yeah - but its like Architects and Meshuggah. Same tone most of the time, but it kicks serious anus.

First the good news!
WinAVR release 2007/12/21 includes the latest avrdude (5.5) which now supports USBtinyISP! This means you dont have to patch any code or replace binaries to use the USBtinyISP programmer.
However, there is some bad news…
WinAVR was compiled with a 2 year old version of libusb (v0.1.10) instead of the most recent version (v0.1.12), which means that it is incompatible with the original driver that I posted up on the USBtinyISP download page. Thus if you want to use the latest WinAVR, you must uninstall the driver and then reinstall the older (v0.1.10) version which is now available on the download page.
Otherwise, youll get a nasty surprise:
as the device seems to be working, but avrdude can't "find" it!
If you don't want to reinstall the driver, you'll have to replace the avrdude.exe and libusb0.dll with the modified versions (also available and described in detail on the download page).
The other bad news is that I made some mistakes in the code that make it incompatible with 64-bit. Hopefully I will get that tested/fixed for the next revision…not having a 64 bit machine makes it a bit annoying to debug!

A mini shelf for books, toddler sized
Materials: Ribba Picture Ledge
Description: We are renting, so I couldn't attach something to the walls. And we didn't have the space for a big reading nook but I wanted our toddler to be able to see his books and have them be at his height.
I looked through the garage and found 2 IKEA Ribba photo ledges we were not using.
1. I used a scrap piece of wood I found in the garage, that just happened to be the perfect size. I chose this height because I had two shelves – you can choose to make it higher. Your local hardware store may have a scrap wood section which could be a good place to look. They will usually cut to size for a very small fee.
2. One shelf is flush with the bottom to serves as the base – it is free standing on the floor as we can not make holes in the plaster walls. The top shelf I measured by the size of the books it would be holding – works since toddler books are generally short.
3. Used a remnant piece of fabric to cover pine board. Used staple gun to fasten – first the long ends, than the short, pulling taught with each staple. The seam of the fabric I hid under the bottom shelf, so back is seemless. As for the edges {short sides} – cut fabric short, like you are wrapping a present and then fold into itself and staple. You will see the staples on those edges – you can cover with a pieces of ribbon if you choose.
4. With fabric on, I attached first the bottom shelf, using a level to make sure it was even. You may need to choose shorter screws than the hardware that the shelves come with, depending on the width of board you used. Then I attached the top shelf.
Just his height and perfect for 5-6 books, a toddler doesn't need much more.
See more of the toddler bookshelf.

Great idea! Thank you for sharing this and for including detailed instructions.
Very cute! Off topic, but would you mind telling me where you got the car ramp? I've been looking for something like that for a while. Thanks!
Hi Kari – Thank you for your comment. It made me realize I should have said "..5-6 books at at time." Here is why. For toddlers, more than 5 books at a time can be overwhelming and overstimulating. If you reduce their choices with books (and toys), and instead rotate them on a weekly basis, toddlers have shown to pay attention longer and stay more concentrated than when they are overloaded with the amount of books and toys that we tend to overwhelm children with.
I appreciate your comment – It reminded me that it was time to switch around some books.
"a toddler doesn't need much more."
When used in regards to books, this is the saddest statement I've heard all day.
Love this and am totally doing this. We rent, too, but I think I can attach it to the wall here. Thanks for the idea!!! LOVE IT!!!
Adorable and encourages reading, makes it look so fun. One could easily drill a couple of short sheet metal screws through it and into the baseboard/floor/beam for stability. Likely to get leaned on. Its so attractive!
Base is deep, so it's pretty sturdy but it can be pulled over. It is very light and it's height is shorter than my toddler so I find it safer than any other bookcase solution. I had the thought to actually attach it to the crib but he played around with the books instead of sleeping!
Henriette Bimmelbahn war auch immer mein liebstes Kinderbuch.
Nice work!
Very clever! I like how it displays shaped books like the boat on the bottom shelf. As your child grows up, this little unit can be moved to the top of a dresser or something to display photos or trinkets.
As for tipping, the base looks deep enough to prevent wobbling, and the whole unit is small enough that if the child pulled it onto himself, it probably won't cause damage.
how do you keep it from tipping falling over without ataching it to the wall?
What a great little book shelf! I know I have two of those exact shelves hiding around here too! (=

In "The Sixth Sense," writer-director M. Night Shyamalan pulled off one of the most difficult of all movie surprises: A last-second plot twist that not only shocks, but requires you to rethink everything you've seen. As Shyamalan tries it again with "Unbreakable," we asked him for his opinion of the three best twists besides his own in film history. (Warning: the answers contain spoilers, so if you haven't seen these classics, stop reading here and go rent them.)
"Psycho:" "The greatest of all twists, because you've spent the whole movie getting used to the idea of this old lady as killer, only to find out it's something even creepier."
"Planet of the Apes:" "It's very 'Twilight Zone,' in that it's all about irony, but when you think about it, it's funny, too, because it's made a monkey out of you."
"Being There:" "We watch this man (Peter Sellers) being treated like he's some kind of holy prophet by all these people, when we know he's actually a fool. Then, in the last second, we realize we were the fools for not believing. It's so perfect, because it makes such a beautiful point about life."

Meadows Shopping Centre wins green award
12:00pm Sunday 24th August 2014
By Matt Abbott
12:00pm Sunday 24th August 2014
By Matt Abbott
THE Meadow's Shopping Centre has been recognised for its environmental efforts.
The city centre mall has been announced as a winner at the International Green Apple Awards for Environmental Best Practice, competing against over 500 other nominations.
Representatives from the centre will now attend a glitzy award ceremony at the House of Lords in November.
The Meadows winning entry focused on recycling.
Around 99 per cent of all waste at the Meadows is recycled, with the remaining one per cent sent to a waste to energy site.
The mall is also considered an industry leader after becoming the first shopping centre in Great Britain to install an accelerate food composter, turning all food waste into compost which is then used on the centre's landscaped areas.
After 18 years, the Green Apple Awards are the country's major recognition for environmental endeavour.

I bought a suit from them last time when they are in Calgary (saw the add in Globe & Mail). I bought 2 suits from them they took very detailed measurements and few photo same like mug shots. After a month a receive a suit in a small box, I was amazed how they fix the suit in that. I took out the suit and tried it on and bang it was just perfect. Thank you BMV BESPOKE for your effort. Since then I have recommended 3 of my friends and all of them are happy.

Fabio Capello says that Spain have been found out and believes there is now a clear blueprint for success against Vicente del Bosque's men.
The Russia coach believes that the 'tiki-taka' style employed by the reigning world and European champions is no longer as effective, insisting that the constantly evolving game will bring about new innovations in the years to come.
"I think Italy showed the way in the semi-finals [of the Confederations Cup]," he told Fifa.com. "They played with three defenders and that unsettled the Spanish, mainly because they closed down the space in midfield, fought hard for possession and avoided playing long balls.
"That's why Spain suffered and it allowed other coaches to see how they might be beaten.
"It was an innovation back then, when the custom was for forwards not to do any pressing. Obviously things have changed a lot and everyone does it now. In the modern game it's virtually impossible to win if you don't. "
The Italian then gave his thoughts on the evolution of traditional formations and explained how tactics have altered in the space of just a few years, adding: "I also think it's a little absurd that people still talk about 4-3-3, 4-4-2 and all that. To my mind the modern formation is 9-1.
"You've got nine who defend and nine who attack. You need to have a block of players, even when you're on the attack. You can't have a team occupying an area of 40 or 50 metres. You just don't see that any more. These days you have to be compact, with everyone in a maximum of 20 or 30 metres."
Capello also believes that technological developments, with global scouting of sides and performance analysis departments within teams, mean that less gifted sides have an even more remote prospect of success.
"The fact you can study how the game's played all over the world has given coaches the chance to inform themselves and play a very tactical game," the Italian observed. "It's difficult to win now if you don't have very good players.
"Look at the first half of the Confederations Cup semi-final between Brazil and Uruguay, which was very tactical, with hardly any space anywhere. Both sides knew exactly what the other was going to do. It seems that these days, like the Italian journalist Gianni Brera said, 'the perfect game is 0-0'.
"There have been three revolutions in recent football history. In the 1970s there was Ajax with their high offside line and pressing game. Then, in the 1980s and 90s, there was AC Milan and now there's Barcelona, who've shown how to keep the ball and how to win it back aggressively when they lose it. As we've seen, when people study these innovations and get a command of them, then you start to see new developments taking place.
"You get these revolutions every 15 years more or less. The Barcelona one happened not so long ago so I think we'll have to wait a little longer to see how things turn out."

Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Virginia
We purchased an ATV from an individual on Craigslist for $4000. We agreed on price and picked up the bike with a company check. The seller was to hold the title until the check cleared but we were allowed to take the bike. The seller claims he mailed the title a week later but a month has passed and no title. He continues to give us excuses as to why no title: post office fault, getting married, too expensive to get a new title. Now he says he will take back the ATV less $600 for rental for the month. We have not been able to use or ride the the bike, we just want the title so we can sell it sometime down the road. We have a signed Bill of Sale from him indicating that he will send title.... What recourse do we have?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Sue him in small claims court for what you paid for this ATV and for which you
are now effectively prohibited from exercising your full ownership rights
for lack of a valid title for this vehicle.
The lesson to be learned here, of course, is that one should never agree to finalize a sale transaction for a vehicle from a private seller without first receiving a valid title at the time of the purchase.

Thank you! I see a few minor changes including a second F! one night of my trip plus a second MSEP most nights of my trip but nothing that'll actually change anything about my plans. I've updated my charts anyway. Is it my imagination or did they put some of the AK closings back to 5pm again towards the end of the month even though they extended them to 7pm a couple months ago?
On our HS night they have added a 2nd F!. We are booked with a FDP for that night. Our FDP seating pass will still be for the first F, correct?
Also on our MK night (park closes at 10) they have added a second MSEP. Our plan was MSEP @ 7, Wishes @ 8, then JC (w/FP) and CBJ then exit the park after the masses following wishes but before the park closes. What time does this have us leaving? Will we be able to get out of the park at this point? Or will we be runnning into those leaving after the 2nd MSEP?????
Ugh. I had an 8:05 Tusker House and now AK opens at 8:00...off to snag a late breakfast.

How we came to misunderstand dogs - great interview with the author. Fascinating!
Love, Columbine
Er, I'm confused. Didn't read anything "new," that is how I've been taught to interact w/ dogs right along. Positive reinforcement, no choke collars, no hitting the dog, and forget Cesar Milan and his methods.
It is what the dog school I use preaches, not seeing anything "new" here. And that school is almost 20 years old.
Sounds like a good read. I always get comments on my well-behaved dogs or my ferret who doesn't bite. My way about animals is not about reinforcement at all. I use both positive and reasonable negative in their lives but their training is not all about either one. Its about the bond you build with them that makes them want to choose you as their leader. I haven't even done any structured training with Naylee since I've gotten her but she wants to be in the room with me, even if the rest of the family is home too.
"There are two things which cannot be attacked in front: ignorance and narrow-mindedness. They can only be shaken by the simple development of the contrary qualities. They will not bear discussion."

Design by DNA
May 12, 2005
DNA molecules provide the architecture for all living things. New York University chemist Ned Seeman thinks they could also be a perfect assembly platform for the smallest computing devices ever built.
DNA molecules provide the architecture for all living things. New York University chemist Ned Seeman thinks they could also be a perfect assembly platform for the smallest computing devices ever built.
Search engines are observing our behavior, and learning from our fumbling activities. All of the major search engines employ artificial intelligence experts who are quietly building common sense and worldly knowledge into our search tools.
The advent of garage biology is at hand. Skills and technology are proliferating, and the synthesis and manipulation of genomes are no longer confined to ivory towers.
The technology has even reached the toy market: The Discovery DNA Explorer kit for kids 10 and older is surprisingly functional at $80.
A new study finds a monkey's brain structure adapts to treat a robotic arm as if it was a natural appendage.
The finding bolsters the notion that the primate brain is highly adaptable, and it adds more knowledge to the effort to create useful prosthetic devices for humans.
The U. S. Patent and Trademark Office has announced plans for a new classification system that will includes nanostructures; computer software for nanostructure modeling; manufacturing, treatment, or detection of nanostructures; and specific uses of nanostructures.
The first self-replicating, scalable robot, designed by Cornell University scientists, uses small mechanical building blocks that can attach themselves to one another using electromagnets, all equipped with an identical set of instructions.
It could herald a fundamental rethink of how robots are used in remote environments where repairing them is difficult.
Matrix Semiconductor Inc. said Tuesday (May 10) it had developed the world's smallest 1-Gbit memory, with a die area of 31 square millimeters.
A new generation of software called Starlight 3.0, developed for the Department of Homeland Security by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), can unravel the complex web of relationships between people, places, and events. And other new software can even provide answers to unasked questions.
The rapid miniaturization of technologies behind cameras, cellphones and wireless computers is allowing scientists to build innovative networks of small sensors that they say will produce a new era of ecological insight and, in time, help save the planet.
Rice University scientists have found that buckyballs dissolve in water and could have a negative impact on soil bacteria. The findings raise new questions about how the nanoparticles might behave in the environment and how they should be regulated.
The found that buckyballs combine into unusual nano-sized clumps — which they refer to as "nano-C60″ — that are about 10 orders of magnitude more soluble in water than the… read more
Carnegie Mellon University scientists have harnessed an experimental technology to produce polymer films with long-range-ordered nanostructure and easily convert them into highly ordered "nanocarbon arrays."
Called zone casting, this technology could revolutionize the way industrial nanoelectronic components are made.
They used "block copolymers," which are made of long-chain molecules with distinct "blocks" of chemically different repeating units. To create self-assembling nanostructures from block copolymers, they used molecules with… read more
Motorola has built a working prototype of a new flat-panel color display that uses carbon nanotubes.
The new displays are much less expensive than CRTs, they respond as quickly, their colors are almost as good, they can be viewed from a wide range of angles, and they are bright enough to be seen in daylight.
Matrix Semiconductor is expected to announce on Tuesday that its approach – storing data in an array of circuits stacked in four levels – had yielded one-gigabit chips that are 10 percent smaller than its previous version and have twice the memory of the original 512-megabit chips.
MIT students have organized what they call the first convention for time travelers on May 7, 2005, 10:00pm EDT.
They contend that theirs is the only time traveler convention the world needs, because people from the future can travel to it anytime they want.
To set the mood, organizers plan to display a DeLorean – the sleek but short-lived 1980′s car that was the time-traveling vehicle… read more
A new class of drug may increase alertness without any of the jitteriness of over-stimulation.
A compound dubbed CX717, a member of the new class called ampakines, significantly improved performance on tests of memory, attention, alertness, reaction time and problem solving in healthy men deprived of sleep.
Ampakines work by binding to AMPA-type glutamate receptors in the brain. This boosts the activity of glutamate, a neurotransmitter, and makes… read more

In a rapidly changing world, sustainability, if it can be said to exist at all, is concept that has attained mythic status, often pursued and rarely reached. In order to improve our capability to cope with environmental problems, adopting an Ecosystem Approach has been suggested. One of the major challenges in the implementation of this new paradigm relates to control of externalities. The recognition and quantification of externalities is often cast as valuing the unmarketable, and there are several approaches that have been proposed. Here, we analyze the opportunity to "feed" the economic valuation with ecological concepts. From an ecological perspective, the energy required to sustain a biomass unit at a given trophic level (TL) is the same, whatever the species. We build on this central tenet of ecology to assess the value of a TL unit for each trophic position using fish market data. The results obtained were then used to assign a value to each species living in a given habitat, together with consideration of their ecological role within the community. Estimates of both natural capital and functional value were applied to assess the ecological impacts of mechanical clam harvesting versus the multi-species artisanal fishery in the Venice lagoon. Results are discussed in relation to possible contribution to the implementation of a different management strategy.

This summer, we are happy to welcome 10 interns for this summer! They will be put to work by working on various projects such as ELCat, LL-MAP, and MultiTree. Congratulations interns on being selected for 2013! If you are interested in becoming an intern, be on the look-out for our application cycle to open again next spring. In the mean time, there are other ways to get involved here at LINGUIST List. Just contact us for more information.
Eric Benzschawel [ˈbɛn.ʃɑl]
I'm Eric Benzschawel, a BA candidate for spring 2013, receiving a degree in Linguistics with honors and Germanic Studies, and minors in Dutch and Western European Studies. I'll be working this summer as an intern at the LINGUIST List through early August, contributing primarily on the MultiTree and LL-MAP projects. I speak German and Dutch as second languages.
My personal areas of interest in linguistics are: syntax, morphosyntax, morphology, corpus linguistics, and computational linguistics. I'm a Germanophile too, so I enjoy Germanic historical linguistics or linguistic work on modern Germanic languages. I have a keen interest in Faroese everything (seems like such a cool place!) and histories of Germanic peoples, especially the Dutch Golden Age and the Holy Roman Empire.
All the schoolwork definitely keeps me busy, but that doesn't mean there's no free time! I deeply enjoy reading high fantasy, science fiction, history, and linguistics books. I enjoy music of all genres and play saxophone in the Indiana University Marching Hundred. I'm also a fan of football (Green Bay Packers), college basketball (Indiana Hoosiers), hockey (Chicago Blackhawks), and soccer (Seattle Sounders FC, Deutsche Nationalmannschaft, Nederlands voetbalelftal).
Emily Remirez
I was born and raised on the Gulf Coast of Texas and am currently a junior at Rice University in Houston, majoring in Linguistics with a concentration in Cognitive Science and minoring in Anthropology. I have been interested in language for as long as I can remember, and there is very little that I dislike about linguistics. My main interests (for now) are L1 acquisition, cognitive linguistics, linguistic relativity, animal communication, language typology, syntax, morphology, Central and South American languages, language contact, creoles and pidgins, historical linguistics, and phonology. Outside of linguistics, I like animals, reading, Wes Anderson movies, absurdity, science fiction, and Arrested Development.
Dana Fallon
My name is Dana Fallon and I'm just about to graduate from the University of California, Santa Barbara, with a BA in Linguistics! I also have a French minor and I had the wonderful opportunity of studying abroad in Lyon, France, last year, during which I got to travel through a lot of Europe. In addition to French, I've studied Japanese and some Latin. In my spare time, I'm usually playing guitar or piano, knitting/crocheting, or seeking out dogs to play with.
Kaveh Varjoy
My name is Kaveh Varjoy. I'm a California-born-and-raised linguistics major at UCSB, going into my senior year. I spend my free time going through used bookstores, splashing around in the ocean, and playing the piano (or at least trying to). My favorite TV show is Arrested Development (it's back – yay!) and my favorite book is Dante's Divina Commedia, and there is no limit to the amount of music I enjoy, though I do have a soft spot for jazz and the rat pack. My interests in linguistics are based around language documentation – especially sign languages and Deaf culture, North American languages, and African languages – and the sociocultural intersect between form, identity, and (in)justice/equality.
Bryn Hauk
I have known since high school that my passion was linguistics, but it wasn't until my freshman year at the University of Michigan that I learned of the myriad subfields from which I was expected to choose a lifelong path. Having tried and loved everything from semantics to second-language acquisition, I finally discovered documentary linguistics, which seemed to combine the best parts of all specializations with the added bonus of fieldwork in faraway places. I have been lucky enough to do just that in northwest Russia with the Veps people, and I hope to continue documenting indigenous languages of Russia in the future as I pursue my MA at EMU. At the LINGUIST List, I get the opportunity to flex my documentary muscles working on our Catalogue of Endangered Languages and to learn important new technologies and scripting languages.
Myles Gurule
I'm a sophomore at Brown University, tentatively planning to double-major in Computer Science and Linguistics. My interests include formal language theory, natural language processing, and Slavic languages. I grew up in northern New Mexico and in my spare time, I coach policy debate, read, and go hiking. I'm excited to learn about current linguistic research and discussion as well as the practical linguistic applications of CS.
Jacob Collard
I am a rising Junior at Swarthmore College and have now been interested in linguistics for over six years, doing work with endangered languages (Ju|'hoan, Valley Zapotec, and Cherokee), computational linguistics, and syntax. I'm also interested in storytelling, writing, and literature, as well as folkdance, board games, and roleplaying games. I tend to lose myself in the forest, as I enjoy hiking and exploring, which I try to do every day.
Lesley Dennison
Hi, I'm Lesley and I am excited to join The LINGUIST List as an ELCat team member! I've been interested in languages ever since high school French class, where I would write notes to my best friend in IPA.I graduated from Eastern Michigan University in April of 2013 with a BA in Linguistics and a minor in Japanese. I will be starting my MA in Linguistics at Eastern in the fall of 2013. When I am not doing linguistics, I like to read, write, travel and cater to my adorable cat, Esteban.
Sara Couture
I recently earned a Bachelor's degree in Linguistics with a minor in German from Wayne State University and I'm currently a summer intern at LINGUIST List. At LINGUIST List, I'm mainly working on the MultiTree project, but I'm also part of the Catalogue of Endangered Languages team and the LL-MAP team. I'm really excited about being immersed in linguistics all summer, learning about the nuts and bolts of language documentation and the technology that is involved.
In hindsight, majoring in Linguistics was inevitable for me. I was one of those nerdy kids who liked to make my own secret codes and alphabets and had notebooks filled with information about Elvish and other constructed languages. Language has always been one of my passions. But I didn't find the formal field of linguistics until college. I had decided to major in English with the vague notion of becoming an editor or a technical writer. The English degree had a theory requirement, and I chose an Introduction to Linguistics. I absolutely loved it, and when I found out I could become an editor with a Linguistics degree as well as an English degree, I switched majors immediately and the rest is history.
I have an insatiable curiosity about all things linguistic, so it is very difficult for me to narrow down my interests. But at the moment, my primary interests are historical linguistics, dialectology, sociolinguistics, syntax, Germanic linguistics, Celtic linguistics, and English linguistics. Outside of linguistics, I'm always in search of a good story to keep me entertained. I love to read and watch movies. I have a wide, eclectic taste in genres, and I have dabbled in fantasy, science fiction, mystery, historical, classic, thriller, horror, contemporary or westerns. When I'm not doing any of these things, I try to give my mole eyes a rest and go bike riding.
Thomas Haider
I was born 1985 in the area of Munich, Germany. After a sheltered childhood in the middle of Bavaria and some education I pursued an apprenticeship in a physics lab, followed by some more education, a civil service in a youth hostel to finally end up in Heidelberg to study Computational Linguistics and Philosophy. Apart from one year abroad in the Netherlands I have been there for 5 years now, meanwhile enrolled in a Masters programme, writing and reading poetry on stage, dealing with lexical semantics, transgressing borders of verbose gibberish and densified expression.

A company has been selected to design a £3million refurbishment plan for Queens Square.
Crawley Borough Council and West Sussex County Council have committed £1.5million each to the project which is aimed at giving the aging square a new lease of life.
Both councils had a hand in selecting award-winning design company Burns + Nice to bring the project to life.
Among the company's success stories was the redesigning of squares and public areas in London, Gravesend and Leicester.
They included the £5million Stockwell Masterplan and the Belgrave Heartlands Masterplan.
The firm's work on the Leicester Square City Quarter earned it the Placemaking Award 2013 for Design Excellence.
The borough council held a public consultation earlier this year, asking people how they would like to see Queens Square improved.
Among the 150 answers received was a call for an indoor market to the square and expanding the existing market.
New paving, signage and seating was called for as was the levelling out of the square to prevent flooding and make parts of it easier to access. Some people wanted to see the square covered over completely or in part and for the Pavilion, which houses Costa and Pound World, to be demolished.
Marie Burns, from Burns + Nice, said the project was in the very early stages of development so no designs were ready to look at.
She added: "Queens Square will symbolise the changing and emerging Crawley as a place to live, work, visit and invest in.
"This project demonstrates that investment in revitalising the public realm supported by local residents and businesses can stimulate regeneration."
David Covill, director of resources at Crawley Borough Council, said: "Queens Square will be a special place where people meet and spend time.
"There are already signs that companies will look to invest as a result of the commitment made by Crawley Borough Council and West Sussex County Council."
A planning application is expected towards the end of the year. Consultation will take place before the start of the design work and continue throughout the project, which is estimated to begin on site in the summer of 2015 and be completed by spring 2016.

The world is awash in shades of gray and layers of complexity. Many businesses struggle to keep responses up to date, never mind trying to be proactive in this ever-changing climate. The cliché saying - the only constant is change - has never been more true. And this is reflected in all aspects of business: marketing, sales, manufacturing, product development, strategic planning, human resources, and organization development.
What about leadership?
Yes, leadership must change, too, but not from approach A to approach B. What's becoming increasingly necessary is nimble and changeable leadership. There is no one best way to lead. In fact, leading with one approach, one style, or one set of assumptions will not produce the best results.
Mother Nature shows us the way.
As the Rufous Hummingbird zooms by you, you notice a flash of red and gold, and then a shimmer of bronzy green. As it hovers with curiosity in front of you, its colors seem to change. Many species of hummingbird shine with iridescence.
When scientist David Lee explored the Malaysian tropical rain forest, the shimmering electric blue of leaves of the Selaginella plant attracted and amazed him. Its iridescence so inspired Lee that it changed the direction of his career.
There is a rare phenomenon where clouds will glow in iridescence. Overlapping layers of varying thickness and water particle size and shape create changing color reflections as they move past one another.
Iridescence is an optical phenomenon in which hue changes according to the angle from which the surface is viewed. Iridescence is caused by multiple reflections from multi-layered, semi-transparent surfaces. Some wavelength frequencies reflect and some are absorbed and each layer creates a different pattern of reflection and light interference. What you see and experience will be different from that which someone viewing the same scene sees from another location.
What if leaders were iridescent? What would that look like?

A Frederick police officer fatally shot a suspected drug dealer last night after the man stabbed and wounded another officer in an undercover operation, police said.
The incident happened about 7 p.m. in the 1000 block of Columbine Drive.
Lt. Thomas Chase, criminal investigation commander of the Frederick police, said he passed on a tip that he received yesterday morning to the narcotics unit about drug sales in an apartment complex.
An undercover female officer purchased "a quantity of drugs" from the dealer near the apartment complex last night, Chase said. The officer then walked away and radioed for nearby officers to move in and make the arrest, Chase said.
The officers spread out in the complex looking for the dealer. An officer spotted him and tried to make the arrest, but the man pulled out a knife and stabbed him in the arm and back, Chase said.
Two other officers moved in and one fired his gun three times, Chase said. The suspect was taken to Frederick Memorial Hospital and pronounced dead a short time later. His name was not released, pending notification of relatives. The wounded officer was treated at Washington County Hospital in Hagerstown, Md., and released.
Chase said the officer who fired his gun will be placed on administrative leave with pay while the department and the state's attorney investigate to determine whether the shooting was justified.

"This merger is an exciting event for both companies and the markets we serve. The word 'synergy' is often overused today. But in this case, we truly have achieved a tremendously complimentary combination both geographically and functionally. The bottom line is both companies will be better able to serve the North American market and our respective clients will benefit. This merger immediately doubles the Canadian presence of both firms through the integration of our respective Toronto and Montreal offices."
"I could see someone tearing this down and subdividing it for house lots, ... It would be a shame because of its history. I get a little teary-eyed whenever I think about not seeing this continue as a theater."

Our sister site SlashGear has uncovered some deets on a new LG Android-powered phone coming down the pipe called the LG GW620. The handset lacks a picture so we can't gaze upon its visage, but we do know a few specifications about the handset.
The GW620 will sport UMTS/HSDPA and GPRS connectivity, though the specific frequencies supported aren't offered. The device has a full QWERTY keyboard and a 320 x 480 resolution LCD that is assumed to be touch capable.
The device was spied previously with another name — the LG Eve. There are no hard details on pricing, network, or a release date but considering the phone popped up on a test site it must be close to being launched. We can mark one more handset from the list of the 18 promised Android devices coming this year.

Securing the Future: A Savings Plan for Every Child
The proposed law is a simple and efficient way to ensure that all Israeli children will have a personal savings plan from birth. With the initial sum being made by the government upon the birth of the child, additional deposits will be taken from a portion of the monthly National Insurance (Social Security) Payments currently allocated to all children and the rest from individual deposits made by parents, grandparents, and other relatives and friends, and of course, by the children themselves.
On top of these sums, the government will match each private deposit with an identical deposit up to a pre-determined maximum to be established by the law. In order to minimize socio-economic gaps, government deposits will be made progressively for low income families with these families receiving relatively higher amounts. The bank account will be released to the child on their 18th or 21st birthday (to be determined) and they will be encouraged to use the potentially tens of thousands of shekels to pay for higher education, professional training, an apartment, or opening business.
Popular Support for the Proposed Bill
During the next few months members of YEDID together with MK Herzog and other MKs who support the bill will travel to many communities throughout Israel to recruit support for the proposed law. Speaking at the launch, MK Herzog commented: "This is the best way to break trans-generational poverty. The proposed law is not designed to damage existing child allowances, but to enable a small percentage of the allowance to change the lives of Israel's future generations... A wide segment of the population supports the initiative. This is a genuine example of social justice in action."
There were a number of TV personalities and actors at the launch event. Popular film and television actor, Amos Tamam spoke from personal experience in support of the bill: "I grew up in Ramla in a family with six kids and luckily my parents helped me realize my dream to be an actor and financed my acting studies. The initiative sounds very simple and we must get it passed… I am willing to help and am joining the campaign to promote the initiative and the law."
Single mother, Ruchama Stern explained the bills significance from her perspective: "It is important for me to speak as a single mother and sole supporter of my family. As a parent, I have two main responsibilities to my family – emotional support and financial support... Everyone wants to give their children the right environment in which to grow up. This initiative provides me with the opportunity to give my children an equal start."
Ran Melamed, Deputy Director of YEDID presented data from a survey conducted for YEDID by the "Maagar Mochot" Research Institute. The survey states that more than half (57%) of Israeli families claim they do not currently save at all for their children, 12% save occasionally and only 28% save regularly. Of those who save regularly, the average monthly deposit is $96. Although deposits in the Arab sector are generally lower ($52), a higher than average percentage (42%) of Arabs do save regularly for their children. In the immigrant community, a lowly 11% save regularly.
Two thirds of the parents of young children surveyed said they would approve of the government depositing a portion of their monthly child allowance into the new bank account. A huge 92% of everyone surveyed agreed that with the government matching their own savings, they would be able to increase the amount of money they put aside for their children for a secure future.
