Content: If anything, they can provide direction to others. Experts don’t necessarily require a lot of recognition and praise to stay motivated, but that doesn’t mean they don’t want any. 7 Coaching Tips for Managers and Leaders
So, now that we’ve gone over the different performance levels your employees can be at, let’s get to what you came for – the tips! These coaching tips will work with any of those five levels and can help you have more mutually beneficial coaching conversations that will improve overall team performance! 1. Ask guiding questions
Open-ended, guiding questions lead to more detailed and thoughtful answers, which lead to more productive coaching conversations. As a manager or leader, it is critical that you develop strong relationships with your employees. This will help you determine if your employees are curious, have the capacity to perform and improve, and what kind of attitude they have towards their work. This is where communication skills and emotional intelligence really come into play. Managers must guide conversations both by asking questions and listening, not by giving directives. | https://www.bizlibrary.com/blog/leadership/7-coaching-tips-managers-leaders/ |

Content: The last thing you want to do is embarrass someone when you’re trying to be a good coach! 3. Listen and empower
Coaching requires both encouragement and empowerment. As a manager and a leader, your job is to build one-on-one relationships with employees that result in improved performance. Your employees are likely to have a lot of input, questions, and feedback. It’s important for them to know you care enough to listen to what they have to say, so encourage them to share their opinions. Some employees will have no problem speaking their mind, while others will need a LOT of encouragement before they share an opinion with you openly. Once they do open up, be sure to respect those opinions by discussing them, rather than dismissing them. 4. Understand their perspective
When you’re coaching employees to improve performance and engagement, approaching things from their perspective, rather than your own, will help enormously with seeing the changes and results you want. | https://www.bizlibrary.com/blog/leadership/7-coaching-tips-managers-leaders/ |

When you’re coaching employees to improve performance and engagement, approaching things from their perspective, rather than your own, will help enormously with seeing the changes and results you want. Everyone has different motivations, preferences, and personalities, so if you ask questions to help you understand where their “why” comes from and what their preferred “how” looks like, then you can tailor your coaching conversations to align the way they work best with the improvements you’re both aiming for. For example, maybe you recently moved from an office plan that had lots of individual offices to a much more open plan, and one of the reps on your sales team has shown a drastic decrease in successful calls. If you start asking questions and find out that this is someone who is excellent in one-on-one conversations, but rarely speaks up in a group setting, then you can see how they’d feel like everyone is listening in on their call, making them less confident than when they had their own space. With that perspective in mind, you can work with them more effectively on how to get their numbers back up. 5. | https://www.bizlibrary.com/blog/leadership/7-coaching-tips-managers-leaders/ |

Content: If you’re not able to stop what you’re doing right away, schedule time with them as soon as possible to go over it. Better yet, keep a weekly one-on-one meeting scheduled with each employee so you can go over questions and issues regularly, while maintaining productivity. Coaching employees with a goal of improving performance means making them a priority each week! 7. Commit to continuous learning
Make a commitment to improve your own skills and competencies. If you’re not continuously learning, why should your employees? Lead by example and your team will follow. Show that you are interested in their success (why wouldn’t you be?). Ask questions about where they see their career going, or how they see their role evolving in the company. Even if they don’t have a plan laid out yet, these questions will make them think about their career and what they want to accomplish within the organization. | https://www.bizlibrary.com/blog/leadership/7-coaching-tips-managers-leaders/ |

Redlining (1937- )
Redlining Map, Charlotte, North Carolina, 1935
Fair Use Image
Redlining refers to a discriminatory pattern of disinvestment and obstructive lending practices that act as an impediment to home ownership among African Americans and other people of color. Banks used the concept to deny loans to homeowners and would-be homeowners who lived in these neighborhoods. This in turn resulted in neighborhood economic decline and the withholding of services or their provision at an exceptionally high cost. The origin of the term stems from the policies developed by the Home Owners Loan Corporation (HOLC) created in 1933 by the Franklin Roosevelt Administration to reduce home foreclosures during the Depression and then institutionalized by the 1937 U.S. Housing Act which established the Federal Housing Association (FHA). Federal housing agencies including the HOLC and the FHA determined whether areas were deemed unfit for investment by banks, insurance companies, savings and loan associations, and other financial services companies. The areas were physically demarcated with red shading on a map. In contrast, zones which were to receive preferential lending status were marked in green shading and intermediate areas in blue shading. Often these decisions were arbitrarily based on the area’s racial composition rather than income levels. While the practice was almost universal before 1968, the Civil Rights Act passed that year theoretically outlawed redlining. Nonetheless its impact was felt long after that date. | https://www.blackpast.org/african-american-history/redlining-1937/ |

What is Performance Coaching? A Process: To understand Performance Coaching, it is necessary first to understand the process of coaching. Coaching does not cover the basics of its object but is focused on the extension, development, improvement, and perfection of its object. For example, in regard to coaching football, coaching does not teach the basics of playing the game, but it focuses on how one or more players are playing the game. Coaching seeks to identify weak areas of performance and provides various forms and methods of teaching the player how to improve general playing techniques in one or more specific aspects of playing the game. Thus, the objective of coaching is to extend the playing abilities of the player, develop their playing techniques and styles, improve their general performance, and to perfect their playing of the game to maximize the likelihood of winning. The focus is on tasks, roles, and activities: Performance Coaching focuses on raising the quality of performance of an individual in regard to one or more tasks, roles, or activities. | https://www.blairwellnessgroup.com/what-is-performance-coaching/ |

Unlike sports team coaching, Performance Coaching ordinarily involves only two participants, the subject and the coach. Thus, the coaching situation is one in which one person, the coach, facilitates in a variety of ways the talents, skills, and abilities of another person, the subject of the coaching. The coaching objective is to guide the subject in making a variety of forms of positive changes in their thinking and actions in regard to one or more activities, usually work activities, to improve and perfection their functioning. Advancing knowledge, skills, and expertise: It is important to realize that, while Performance Coaching may involve advice and the sharing of experience offered by the coach to the subject, Performance Coaching entails considerably more than simply advice and experience sharing. | https://www.blairwellnessgroup.com/what-is-performance-coaching/ |

Content: Since cryptocurrencies make it hard to regulate such transfers, they could attract lots of people who want to evade taxes in their respective countries. However, some startups like Chainalysis are actively trying to come up with solutions to track Bitcoin transactions as they are available for everyone to view on its public ledger. Need for Regulation
Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies are decentralized so there is no central organization that is aware of all the transactions happening on its ledger. This makes it especially challenging for regulators to control. Essentially to control Bitcoins, an adversarial government would have to shut down the whole public internet. This is so because Bitcoin does not depend on central servers to function, but instead on its decentralized network of miners to process transactions. In its ten years of operation, no government has been able to regulate Bitcoin efficiently even though several attack vectors have been tried. This shows that Bitcoin can handle scale and is also very resilient to attacks on its network making it a haven for tax evaders. Prevention and Mitigation
Ever since Bitcoin first made headlines in 2013, regulators across the world have made numerous attempts to try to regulate Bitcoins. However, most of these regulators seem to not really understand the concept of Bitcoins and how these can be controlled. | https://www.blockchain-council.org/blockchain/how-bitcoin-money-laundering-works/ |

Content: Bloomberg economists Dan Hanson and Tom Orlik have mapped out the main scenarios. Their headline conclusion: If tariffs expand to cover all U.S.-China trade, and markets slump in response, global GDP will take a $600 billion hit in 2021, the year of peak impact. On May 10, the U.S. took tariff rates on $250 billion of Chinese exports to 25%. Retaliation was swift, with China raising tariffs on certain U.S. goods in a range from 5% to 25%. Two years out, Bloomberg Economics’ modelling suggests that output in China and U.S. would be lower by 0.5% and 0.2% respectively, relative to a no-trade-war scenario. Global output would also come down a notch. Scenario 1: Current Tariff Levels

Here's What China's Middle Classes Really Earn — and Spend
Most Chinese still earn and spend much less than Americans
Families are smaller than ever before
Travelers are few — but they spend a lot
China's middle class loves music
Online shopping is growing fast
They are spending more and more on health
Content: So while China's taste for luxury goods may attract more attention, the country's appetite for staples says more about daily life for most people. Here is a snapshot of how Chinese consumers are living today. Most Chinese still earn and spend much less than Americans
Beijing recently overtook New York as the 'Billionaire Capital of the World' and country-to-city migration is at its highest level in recent history. But China's average annual wage was 56,360 yuan ($8,655) in 2014, and Goldman Sachs estimates that 387 million rural workers — half the working population — earn about $2,000 a year. The average Chinese consumer spends $7 a day, according to Goldman Sachs. Food and clothing make up nearly half of all personal spending, with 9.2 percent allocated to recreational activities like travel, dining out, sports and video games. The average American spends $97 a day, 17.3 percent of it on recreation. Families are smaller than ever before
There were less than three people in the average Chinese family home in 2014, down from about five in the 1950s. Gender imbalance in China is also the worst in the world: about 116 boys are born for every 100 girls, against a global average of 107 boys to 100 girls. | https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-03-09/here-s-what-china-s-middle-class-really-earn-and-spend |

Gender imbalance in China is also the worst in the world: about 116 boys are born for every 100 girls, against a global average of 107 boys to 100 girls. Between 1979 and late 2015, the country imposed a limit of one child on most Chinese families, and skewed gender ratios date back to the early 1980s. China now has 33 million more men than women, many of whom may never find a partner. Among the working-age population, single people and smaller households tend to have more discretionary spending power. Travelers are few — but they spend a lot
Only 4 percent of the Chinese population hold a passport, compared to 35 percent of Americans — but that 4 percent spends almost $200 billion overseas annually, more than any other nation, according to Goldman Sachs. China's urban middle class dominates tourism spending, and Goldman Sachs expects 12 percent of the population to hold a passport within a decade. | https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-03-09/here-s-what-china-s-middle-class-really-earn-and-spend |

Too Much Wheat Is Forcing Its Farmers to Other Crops

Lower Prices
Century Low
Wheat Surplus
Wheat Stockpiles
Content: It’s not difficult to see why the market slumped for so long. Wheat used in everything from bread to cakes and noodles thrives in all sorts of climates, and every few months there are crops being harvested somewhere in the world. Global production will reach an all-time high of 751.3 million metric tons once the current Southern Hemisphere harvest is complete, leaving stockpiles at 252.1 million tons, the most ever, U.S. Department of Agriculture data show. Lower Prices
Prices tumbled 13 percent last year to $4.08 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade, touching a 10-year low of $3.8675 on Aug. 31 and extending the longest stretch of annual losses since 1999. The grain was one of the biggest commodity losers of 2016 and is down by more than half from its high in 2012. Milling wheat in France dropped 3.2 percent to 168 euros a ton, capping a four-year slide of 32 percent. Russia, the world’s top exporter, said on Dec. 28 that its 2016 wheat harvest jumped 19 percent, more than analysts forecast. Farmers in Argentina are harvesting what will probably be their biggest crop since 2012, according to CRM AgriCommodities. And because wheat is sold in dollars on global markets, the currency’s strength is boosting the incentive for growers outside the U.S. to ship more, even with lower prices. “For prices to move substantially higher from here, we need to see some signs of supply being restricted, either by a weather event or by the fact that production levels are curtailed,” said Fiona Boal, director of commodity research at London-based Fulcrum Asset Management LLP, which oversees about $5.2 billion. | https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-01-10/too-much-of-weed-that-feeds-forcing-wheat-farmers-to-other-crops |

Content: If you have constructive feedback or would like to see a similar explainer on other topics, drop us a line at [email protected]. Although invisible on land and inscrutable on paper, municipal zoning codes have a tremendous impact on the form of cities—and by extension, on the way people live in them. Today, these arcane regulations are seeing unprecedented levels of public scrutiny. After decades of embracing strict zoning rules, several cities and states want to relax them to make it easier to build housing and create more environmentally friendly communities. This edition of CityLab University offers an overview of zoning and defines the key terms related to it in America, so you can better understand the rules that are shaping your city and neighborhood. KEY POINTS
Although there were earlier versions of municipal zoning codes, the first comprehensive one was adopted by New York City in 1916. The U.S. Supreme Court decision in Euclid v. Ambler (1926) established the constitutionality of local zoning ordinances and helped set the pattern for what is known as “Euclidean” zoning. Critics of zoning see it as a key driver of sprawl and racial and economic segregation. Beset by a housing affordability crisis, U.S. cities and states are increasingly looking to undo regulations such as R1 zones, parking minimums, and red tape around accessory dwelling units in order to increase the supply of housing. HISTORY
Municipal zoning in America evolved from a complex set of processes in the first half of the 20th century. | https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-08-06/how-to-understand-municipal-zoning-codes |

Content: Each piece of land has a single, specifically allowed use. ( Typical uses include agricultural, residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, and open space.) On a zoning map, different land-use types are indicated by different colors, and the density or intensity of development is shown by darker and lighter shades, as on Euclid’s current zoning map. Following Euclid v. Ambler, many municipalities across the country adopted Euclidean zoning laws, which ensured that homes (usually those belonging to more affluent white people) would be far from factories and other undesirable land uses. These laws also helped preserve open space and historic neighborhoods and protected home values in new suburbs. African American neighborhoods often got zoned for the uses white Americans didn’t want near them, causing property values in black neighborhoods to erode and further entrenching segregation. When private cars became the dominant mode of transportation and fewer people walked to work or on errands, areas zoned for a single use got bigger, according to Sonia Hirt in Zoned in the USA. Lower-density zoning and parking minimums have had a huge impact on the look, functioning, and carbon footprint of American cities. Many scholars view Euclidean zoning as a key factor in America’s urban sprawl and racial and economic segregation. However, Houston—the largest American city without a municipal zoning ordinance—is also sprawling and segregated, making it at least a partial counterpoint to these arguments.

However, Houston—the largest American city without a municipal zoning ordinance—is also sprawling and segregated, making it at least a partial counterpoint to these arguments. ( Despite its lack of zoning, Houston does have non-zoning regulations that accomplish some of the same things.) Separation of uses remains a fundamental principle of most zoning codes, even as form-based and incentive zoning gain in popularity (neither of which is mutually exclusive with Euclidean zoning). The true opposite of Euclidean zoning is mixed-use zoning, which allows for the apartment buildings with ground-floor shops beloved by Jane Jacobs. The movement known as Smart Growth promotes mixed-use, high-density development near mass transit, and has inspired new zoning guidelines in Massachusetts, California, and elsewhere. GLOSSARY

Content: Three weeks later, the USTR issued exemptions for Apple’s watches and a range of other products that have no apparent link to Covid-19. The USTR didn’t respond when asked if the Gojo denial would be reassessed as part of a new exclusion process to identify more products needed to treat the virus or limit its outbreak. Publicly, American officials have doubled down on their tariff strategy and are calling for a rethink of supply chains, especially when it comes to key medical products. The reliance on other countries for those supplies has created a strategic vulnerability for the U.S., trade chief Robert Lighthizer said. “ By encouraging diversification of supply chains and — better yet — more manufacturing in the U.S., President Trump’s economic and trade policies are helping to overcome that vulnerability,” he wrote in a Wall Street Journal editorial last week.

Content: All of these phenomena and more had a similar cause: an abrupt and cascading shortage of semiconductors. Also known as integrated circuits or more commonly just chips, they may be the tiniest yet most exacting product ever manufactured on a global scale. The cost and difficulty in producing them has fostered a worldwide dependence on two Asian powerhouses — Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. and South Korea’s Samsung Electronics Co. — a reliance brought into stark relief in 2020 when the Covid-19 pandemic and rising U.S.-China tensions made chips scarce. Hundreds of billions of dollars will be spent in coming years in a global race to expand production, with geopolitical as well as economic implications.

What Civil Engineers Do About this section
Civil engineers design major transportation projects. Civil engineers conceive, design, build, supervise, operate, construct and maintain infrastructure projects and systems in the public and private sector, including roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, and systems for water supply and sewage treatment. Many civil engineers work in planning, design, construction, research, and education. Duties
Civil engineers typically do the following: Analyze long range plans, survey reports, maps, and other data to plan and design projects
Consider construction costs, government regulations, potential environmental hazards, and other factors during the planning and risk-analysis stages of a project
Compile and submit permit applications to local, state, and federal agencies, verifying that projects comply with various regulations
Oversee and analyze the results of soil testing to determine the adequacy and strength of foundations
Analyze the results of tests on building materials, such as concrete, wood, asphalt, or steel, for use in particular projects
Prepare cost estimates for materials, equipment, or labor to determine a project’s economic feasibility
Use design software to plan and design transportation systems, hydraulic systems, and structures in line with industry and government standards
Perform or oversee surveying operations to establish building locations, site layouts, reference points, grades, and elevations to guide construction
Manage the repair, maintenance, and replacement of public and private infrastructure
Civil engineers also must present their findings to the public on topics such as bid proposals, environmental impact statements, or property descriptions. Many civil engineers hold supervisory or administrative positions ranging from supervisor of a construction site to city engineer, public works director, and city manager. As supervisors, they are tasked with ensuring that safe work practices are followed at construction sites. | https://www.bls.gov/ooh/architecture-and-engineering/civil-engineers.htm |

Content: Approximately 42 percent of marriages that took place between ages 15 and 46 ended in divorce by age 46. In the NLSY79, women in this cohort were more likely to marry and to remarry than were men. In addition, marriages of women were more likely to end in divorce, as were marriages that began at younger ages. On average, women married at younger ages than men. Marriage patterns differed markedly by age at marriage and by educational attainment. Marriage patterns differed markedly by age at marriage and by educational attainment. College-educated men and women married at older ages compared with their counterparts who had fewer years of schooling. About equal proportions of men and women who received a college degree married by age 46, 88 percent for men and 90 percent for women. Men and women who did not complete high school were less likely to marry than were men and women with more education. Men who earned a bachelor’s degree were more likely to marry than men with less education. | https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2013/article/marriage-and-divorce-patterns-by-gender-race-and-educational-attainment.htm |

College-educated men and women married at older ages compared with their counterparts who had fewer years of schooling. About equal proportions of men and women who received a college degree married by age 46, 88 percent for men and 90 percent for women. Men and women who did not complete high school were less likely to marry than were men and women with more education. Men who earned a bachelor’s degree were more likely to marry than men with less education. The chance of a marriage ending in divorce was lower for people with more education, with over half of marriages of those who did not complete high school having ended in divorce compared with approximately 30 percent of marriages of college graduates. In their 2007 study, Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolfers used data from the 2001 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) to examine marriage and divorce patterns up to age 45 for cohorts born in 1940–1945 and 1950–1955. 3 A comparison of the two cohorts shows that the likelihood of marriage declined, the average age at first marriage increased by 1 year, and married couples were more likely to divorce in the latter cohort. Stevenson and Wolfers found stark differences in marriage patterns between racial groups and between education groups for the 1950–1955 birth cohort: Blacks married later and at lower rates compared with Whites. | https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2013/article/marriage-and-divorce-patterns-by-gender-race-and-educational-attainment.htm |

Content: 13 | What happens if a Blue Angel demonstration pilot is ill or hurt? Safety is paramount for every demonstration. Each pilot is responsible for good health and safety; however, the Blue Angels Flight Surgeon will medically disqualify a pilot if one should become ill or injured. Should the Flight Leader/Commanding Officer be grounded for medical purposes, the demonstration will be canceled. 14 | Why don't the Blue Angels maintain a spare pilot? With the number of practice hours required to safely fly a demonstration, a spare pilot could not be utilized effectively. Each pilot must complete 120 training flights during winter training in order to perform a public demonstration safely. The teamwork required for the high-speed, low-altitude flying in the tight Blue Angel formation takes hundreds of hours to develop. A substitute pilot would not have enough time in the formation to do this safely. | https://www.blueangels.navy.mil/faq/ |

Content: This happens when the SBA reviews your loan forgiveness application and determines that you’ve used your funds for eligible expenses. If all of your loan is forgiven, you won’t have to pay anything back. If only a portion of your loan is forgiven, you’ll need to repay the remaining balance. For complete forgiveness eligibility criteria, please visit the SBA’s forgiveness page. How does loan forgiveness work? The amount of loan forgiveness is generally calculated as (1) payroll costs incurred during your covered period (excluding annual compensation over $100,000), and (2) payment (s) of mortgage interest, rent, utilities, and other certain expenses during your covered period. To be eligible for full forgiveness, you must use at least 60% of the borrowed loan amount for payroll costs, with the remainder spent on other approved expenses. Other criteria may be relevant, and you can learn more on the SBA’s forgiveness page . When can I apply for loan forgiveness with BlueVine? Based on the latest guidance, you’ll have up to 10 months from the end of your covered period to defer payments. | https://www.bluevine.com/faq/ |

Content: Signs And Symptoms Of An Alcohol Blackout
Because many people continue to engage in conversation and act normally, it may be hard to determine if someone is experiencing a blackout. It’s also possible that someone may be acting excessively intoxicated but not be in a blackout. Common signs and symptoms that someone is experiencing an alcohol blackout include: trouble walking
difficulty talking or following a conversation
repeating themselves during a conversation
impaired judgment and participation in risky behaviors
distractability
forgetfulness
impaired vision
The more alcohol a person drinks and the higher his or her blood alcohol content, the more likely he or she is to exhibit signs of a blackout. What Causes An Alcohol Blackout? Binge drinking is the primary cause of an alcohol blackout. The more alcohol a person consumes in a set amount of time, the more likely he or she is to experience a blackout. A rapid rise in blood alcohol levels is what ultimately causes a blackout to occur. It’s believed that as blood alcohol rises, the brain is unable to transfer short-term memories into long-term memories. This means that, during a blackout, someone may be able to recall something a few minutes after it happened but not remember it several hours later. | https://www.bluffsrehab.com/alcohol/blackouts/ |

Other Risks in the Automotive Supply Chain
Content: This allows everyone in the automotive supply chain to be prepared to receive and process parts quickly. Use predictive and prescriptive analytics and AI modeling to understand the likely future demand for automotive parts and vehicles based on consumer demands, external risks and other factors. Challenge #2: Impact of External Factors Significantly Disrupts the Automotive Supply Chain
The global nature of the automotive industry makes it very sensitive to external political, economic, environmental, marketplace and other factors. Tariffs, trade deals and political maneuvering can significantly alter the costs to import and export parts and vehicles. Environmental disasters can disrupt large parts of the automotive supply chain. Changing consumer demands with a shift to more electrical vehicles and better fuel efficiency mean that buying trends are being disrupted. Automotive supply chain managers need early sight of these risks so they can understand the likely impact and plan accordingly. Solution #2: Introduce Effective Risk Management for the Most Likely and Impactful Potential Issues
Although every automobile manufacturer will manage risks differently, there are several principles supply chain managers can follow to mitigate negative consequences: | https://www.blumeglobal.com/learning/automotive-supply-chain/ |

Risk in the Supply Chain Creates Pressure
The Impact of Supply Chain Volatility
Other Demands on the Supply Chain
Content: This pressure can easily turn into risks and issues that snowball throughout the network, causing significant problems: Suppliers, manufacturers, logistics, clients and customers are spread across multiple countries, time zones and continents, requiring careful coordination and management. Adding more steps to the supply chain creates exponential complexity for upstream and downstream partners. Siloed data and a lack of visibility increases the difficulty of reporting, business intelligence and good decision-making. Regulations, compliance and quality management demands strong agreements, contracts and controls with supply chain organizations. Supply chain managers must develop contingencies and mitigating action plans to prioritize and eliminate risks and manage issues when they occur. The Impact of Supply Chain Volatility
Volatility and complexity don’t just create problems at a specific point in the supply chain, instead the impact can ripple throughout the entire infrastructure. Supply chain managers must deal with these issues promptly before they create delays, backlogs, bottlenecks and other issues. Political circumstances and protectionism are introducing tariffs across trade routes that results in additional fees, delays and increased customs processing time. This means slower international shipping and the ability for competitors in different countries to take advantage of lower tariffs. | https://www.blumeglobal.com/learning/supply-chain-challenges/ |

Volatility and complexity don’t just create problems at a specific point in the supply chain, instead the impact can ripple throughout the entire infrastructure. Supply chain managers must deal with these issues promptly before they create delays, backlogs, bottlenecks and other issues. Political circumstances and protectionism are introducing tariffs across trade routes that results in additional fees, delays and increased customs processing time. This means slower international shipping and the ability for competitors in different countries to take advantage of lower tariffs. Increasing volumes of internationally-sourced goods are driving up port congestion. This creates additional pressures as ships, trucks and trains need to wait to load, unload and transfer products. These issues are exacerbated as port authorities and operators charge organizations to store goods at the port. An ongoing, chronic shortage of long-haul drivers is creating major issues with trucking capacity, leading to delays when transporting goods across countries. The pressures on the role of the truck driver is making it a less attractive profession, and logistics providers are finding it more difficult to attract and retain the right people. | https://www.blumeglobal.com/learning/supply-chain-challenges/ |

What Exactly Does a System Architect Do? July 12, 2018
3 minute read
Stephen Watts
The system architect role is vital to the successful definition, design, delivery, and support of any IT project. A system architect analyzes and recommends the right combination of IT components to achieve a specific business, department, team, or functional goal. They objectively analyze desired processes and outcomes and advice on the right combination of IT systems and components to achieve those goals. System architecture is closely aligned with service design. The Various Levels of System Architects
The system architect works at several different levels in IT, from high-level business strategy to low-level project consulting. At the highest level, system architects help to define and decide on the right IT strategy and approach that will best support long-term business plans and goals. At the medium level, system architects advise on the best tools, frameworks, hardware, software, and other IT elements to achieve mid-term departmental and functional objectives. At the lowest level, system architects consult with and advise project teams on the specific software, hardware, and other elements needed to deliver defined IT project outcomes. | https://www.bmc.com/blogs/system-architect/ |

Content: System architects are business and technology experts. They look at business plans and goals, analyze technical solutions, and create recommendations on the right mix of IT elements to achieve those objectives. A system architect role can be split into five areas: Understand the desired business or departmental strategy and outcome. Break down those outcomes into defined parts including products, processes, and functions. Decide on the right architecture to achieve what they have defined. Understand software, hardware, and user interactions, integrations, and interfaces. Advise project teams on implementing their recommended solutions. System architects are often senior engineers and strategists and work with stakeholders throughout IT and the business. They must absorb large amounts of information, analyze it for key factors, and provide clear, easily implementable recommendations. | https://www.bmc.com/blogs/system-architect/ |

Understand the Desired Business or Departmental Strategy and Outcome
IT is a crucial component of almost every business process. When the business wants to launch new products, improve efficiencies, or gain a competitive advantage, this will be captured in the strategy. A system architect will analyze business strategy and discuss all key areas and initiatives with business strategists and high-level managers. They will translate those requirements into a demand for new or enhanced IT capabilities over the short-, medium-, and long-term. | https://www.bmc.com/blogs/system-architect/ |

Content: None the less, the larger the treatment effect of supplements (L-arginine and antioxidant vitamins) compared with placebo in reducing the incidence of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, the smaller the number needed to treat ( d is false). The ideal value for number needed to treat is one, in which case every woman would not experience pre-eclampsia or eclampsia if treated with supplements and all would experience the outcome with placebo. If there was no treatment effect (that is, no difference between supplements and placebo) the absolute risk difference would be zero and the number needed to treat would therefore approach infinity. As with other estimates, it is important the uncertainty in the number needed to treat is assessed by a confidence interval. In the example above, the 95% confidence interval is from 4.0 to 10.0. The 95% confidence limits for number needed to treat are derived in a similar way to the statistic itself. The limits for the 95% confidence interval of the absolute risk difference are obtained; the reciprocal of these are obtained and then reversed, giving the limits of the 95% confidence interval for number needed to treat. The interpretation of the 95% confidence interval is that, with probability of 0.95, the true population parameter of number needed to treat will be contained within the interval—that is, the number of women who need to be treated may be as few as four or as many as 10 in order for one additional woman to benefit compared with if they had been treated with placebo. The challenge is how this degree of uncertainty can be incorporated into clinical decision making. | https://www.bmj.com/content/347/bmj.f4605 |

Content: Simon Wessely, president of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, welcomed the report, saying that more investment was needed in mental health services and research. “ There really is no other response.” he said. “ We need to step back and consider what social and cultural factors might be behind these trends. But with just one in three people with a mental illness receiving treatment, the need for mental health services is far outstripped by the demand.” Maureen Baker, chair of the Royal College of General Practitioners, said that the figures were “hopefully indicative of reducing stigma associated with mental health in society and that more people with mental health conditions are seeking medical assistance. “As we continue to strive towards ensuring parity of esteem for patients with mental and physical health conditions, they could also indicate better identification and diagnosis of mental health conditions across healthcare.” References

How Should Creationism and Evolution Be Taught in Public Schools?
Content: In a world that is becoming increasingly interconnected, it has never been more important to teach students about the various belief systems and cultures of the word. Upon completion of school, students are thrust into a world where they will not only have to compete with, but work with people from all over the world. As such, they should be informed of any and all religious beliefs and cultural differences they may encounter, so as to be successful in this diverse environment. Knowledge of the myriad of world views they may encounter will aid students in developing not only the intellectual capacity needed to succeed, but the emotional awareness as well. In addition to being emotionally aware and accepting of others, students also need to be informed of the scientific facts and laws that govern our world. As such, they should be taught the theory of evolution. Not teaching either of these viewpoints to students would be dishonest and put them at disadvantage later in life. Now that it has been established that both theories on the origins of life should be taught the question remains on how to teach them. Before making the case that the theory of evolution should be taught as a science but creationism should not, it is necessary to define what it means for a theory to be scientific. The most commonly used and widely accepted criterion for determining whether or not a theory is scientific in nature is whether or not it is falsifiable, an idea put forth by the philosopher Karl Popper. | https://www.bmsis.org/how-should-creationism-and-evolution-be-taught-in-public-schools/ |

How Should Creationism and Evolution Be Taught in Public Schools?
Content: And, as long as children are informed of other religions, they can be taught whatever creed their parents and mentors believe they should learn. The basis for this proposed policy is that informed consent is the foundation of our democracy and that a democracy with a misinformed citizenship is not worth it. This idea of informed consent is the basis of our understanding of democracy and how we treat other people as responsible, informed adults. However, children below the age of consent are unable to participate in our democracy. Thus, we have a responsibility to take care of them and ensure they grow up to become informed citizens. This means that we have a responsibility to ensure that they are informed about all the creeds in the world, not just their own or that of their parents. Therefore, in order to ensure the development of an informed citizenship and the endurance of a strong democracy, children should be taught about creationism, just not as part of a science curriculum. In conclusion, while it is clear that creationism is not science, that does not mean it should not be taught in public schools as well. Evolution should be taught as a science, while creationism should be taught as part of a philosophy or world religions class. Teaching both views to students is essential to ensure their development into well informed adults who can function well in a diverse society. | https://www.bmsis.org/how-should-creationism-and-evolution-be-taught-in-public-schools/ |

Making Diversity a Priority in the Nonprofit Realm
Content: While many organizations don’t have formal policies on advocacy, board directors and members have strong commitments to advocating for the rights and protections of those they serve. There’s no doubt that advocacy has the potential to enhance the lives of their constituencies, but without diversity, they are not accurately representing them. Chief executives and board chairs acknowledge that they aren’t taking the best advantage of their membership’s passion for advocacy because they don’t have diverse ambassadors. Nonprofit leaders cited ambassadorship as one of the top-three areas on which they could improve. Lack of Diversity Among Nonprofits Is a Flagrant Issue
While chief executives and nonprofit board directors are looking the other way, their communities, donors and others are judging the nonprofit by what they see. Some of them are finding that nonprofit organizations aren’t connected well enough with their communities to understand their needs. They’re also finding that the nonprofit’s promotional materials don’t match the organization’s values, culture and public messages. There’s a disconnect between 1) their words and actions, and 2) their activities, especially when it comes to diversity and ethnicity. People feel more welcome volunteering for organizations when they can work side-by-side with at least a few others who share their culture, language and experiences. They want to know that they have representation within the organization without being a token minority. | https://www.boardeffect.com/blog/nonprofits-diversity-lack-diversity-can-negative-impact-2/ |

Step 1
Even when you’re dealing with the small amount of paint required for cutting in, drips and spills can happen. So, begin by prepping the room, making sure that floors and other surfaces are protected. Always use a drop cloth, and move it as you work through the room. Use painter’s tape to mask only those awkward or tough-to-reach spots where you know you won’t be able to guarantee clean results without taping. Otherwise, avoid taping—it takes extra time, and unless the tape is properly applied, paint can seep underneath it or dry on top of it, creating a real mess upon removal. Step 2
Get ready to paint by loading the brush. Pour about 2 inches of paint into the bucket. | https://www.bobvila.com/articles/how-to-cut-in-paint/ |

How To: Cut In Paint
While a fresh coat of color can quickly update any room, the crisp lines where your walls meet trim or ceiling are really what set apart a stand-out paint job. Read on for how to achieve such a professional touch on your next project.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS
Content: Hold your brush with a pencil grip, with the longer side of the brush bristles in line with your pointer finger. Dip the brush into the paint, but be careful not to load more than 2/3 the length of the bristles with paint. Gently tap the brush against the side of the bucket to remove any excess. Step 3
Now it’s time to get some paint on that wall! Begin about an inch away from the area you’re cutting in, whether you’re working along the trim or down a corner. Holding the brush horizontal with respect to the floor and ceiling, paint a roughly 12-inch stripe on the wall, using a downward stroke if you’re painting at a corner, or a sideways stroke if you’re working along the ceiling, baseboard, or other trim. Now that you’ve used up some of the paint on your brush, turn your brush 90 degrees so that it angles into the wall, and go back to the beginning of your stroke. This time, using long, even strokes, cut in a thinner line of paint that gets right up to the trim or wall corner. Advertisement
Step 4
Once you’re satisfied that you have a cleanly painted edge or corner, again turn your paintbrush horizontal to the floor and ceiling, and gently sweep back over the area to erase brush marks and feather the outer boundaries of the painted area. Doing so will ensure a smooth, seamless finish after you’ve rolled the walls. | https://www.bobvila.com/articles/how-to-cut-in-paint/ |

Doing so will ensure a smooth, seamless finish after you’ve rolled the walls. Continue to work your way around the room, gently overlapping sections to keep a wet edge. If you have an accidental drip or get paint on the trim or baseboard, wrap a damp cloth around a spackling knife or the long edge of a 5-in-1 painter’s tool, then run it along your paint line to remove any excess. Cutting in does take practice, but taking the time to cut in neatly will make a huge difference in the appearance of your newly painted room. TIPS FOR SUCCESS
Use a light touch. Applying too much pressure on your strokes will cause the paint to ooze out of your brush and drip. | https://www.bobvila.com/articles/how-to-cut-in-paint/ |

Use a light touch. Applying too much pressure on your strokes will cause the paint to ooze out of your brush and drip. Don’t load the brush with too much paint. This will result in drips and heavy lines on the walls, and you’ll risk getting the bristles of your brush caked with dried, crusty paint. Use a high-quality brush. It’s well worth investing in a high-quality cutting in paintbrush. The better the brush, the less taping you’ll need to do, making the job go more quickly and with less frustration. | https://www.bobvila.com/articles/how-to-cut-in-paint/ |

How To: Get Rid of Moles

Content: First, the bad news: If you were hoping there’d be a way to get rid of moles without getting your hands dirty, it’s time to either modify your expectations or call in a professional (which I highly recommend). Trapping is not only somewhat labor-intensive, but it’s also going to bring you up close and personal with at least one mole. If you’re squeamish about such things, your best bet is to hire the job out to an experienced exterminator in your area. Photo: shutterstock.com
If you’re used to dealing with animals—or if the damage caused by the moles has driven to you a point of frustration-induced courage—then you’re ready to get to work. Basically, there are two options: You can try to catch a mole in the act, so to speak, or you can set out a series of mechanized traps. The former is the more humane approach, because it doesn’t require killing the mole. The latter is more likely to produce results, but the mole may die in the clutches of your trap. | https://www.bobvila.com/articles/how-to-get-rid-of-moles/ |

Content: Next, remove yourself to a vantage point elsewhere on the property, somewhere at a distance—and ideally downwind—from the patches of earth you’ve shoveled over. If a mole catches your scent in your air, or if your footsteps send vibrations into the ground, the mole isn’t likely to show itself. Wait patiently and be as still as you can be until you see a disturbance in the soil caused by the mole returning to repair the hill you’ve covered. Carrying two shovels, rush to the disturbed area and plunge the shovels into the ground, one on either side of where you saw the ground move. The mole should now be trapped in the small section of its tunnel between your tools. Now that you’ve isolated the mole, dig it out from its tunnel, transfer it to a cardboard box, and take it to a field far away from your property. Repeat the process until you’ve relocated all the offending moles. Advertisement
Option 2: Less Humane, More Effective

Place yours directly into the mole’s tunnel, being sure to choose an active tunnel. If you’re not sure of a given tunnel’s status, cover over the nearest molehill.

Until you’re rid of the pesky critters, know that it can be OK and even beneficial to live with your underground neighbors for the time being. Their quick digging actually aerates your yard and circulates nutrients in the soil. Plus, a mole’s diet of grubs and other insects could get rid of pests that would otherwise eat at the roots of your plants. While you’re cohabiting, just follow a little bit of maintenance to be sure their shallow tunnels don’t completely disrupt the roots of your plants: Press any raised soil back into place with your foot, and water thoroughly so that the roots do not dry out. To discourage moles in the future, cut back on the watering in your lawn-care routine, and maybe even consider choosing a grass that can survive on less water. | https://www.bobvila.com/articles/how-to-get-rid-of-moles/ |

From Jean Valjean of "Les Miserables" to Mike Tyson, history is filled with stories of men coming out of the clink bigger, badder, and broader. But, society doesn't exactly celebrate men who undergo these transformations. In fact, the California Penal System completely banned weights from correctional facilities in 1992, with most state prison systems following soon after. Within a few years, jailhouse "weight piles" were a thing of the fabled past in the United States. You might think these bans curtailed the era of jailhouse hypertrophy, but nothing could be further from the truth! Today's inmates are bigger, leaner, and harder, even with the less-than-wholesome foods they are fed. | https://www.bodybuilding.com/content/no-equipment-no-problem-get-jailhouse-jacked-with-bodyweight-training.html |

Within a few years, jailhouse "weight piles" were a thing of the fabled past in the United States. You might think these bans curtailed the era of jailhouse hypertrophy, but nothing could be further from the truth! Today's inmates are bigger, leaner, and harder, even with the less-than-wholesome foods they are fed. They do it by using the one weight nobody can take away, their body weight. Some prisoners say that when you're behind bars, you watch to see who rises to be a predator and who is left as prey. In that environment, they say, you either get big or die. With no weights available, prisoners have developed highly effective and extensive bodyweight-only bodybuilding methods to build functional hypertrophy. In our book "Jailhouse Strong," Adam benShea and I extensively describe these methods. | https://www.bodybuilding.com/content/no-equipment-no-problem-get-jailhouse-jacked-with-bodyweight-training.html |

The short answer is a definitive “yes” prison workouts are effective. If you are looking to get ripped, build mass, gain strength or just looking to get in good shape, bodyweight exercises (prison workouts) can help you to achieve these goals.

Prison Workout Routine for Beginners
Day 4: Rest
Content: Well, are you ever planning on going on a holiday or business trip and staying in a hotel or a timeshare, which may or may not have a gym? What about if you just can’t make it to the gym because you had to work late but you really want to get at least a 15-minute workout to stay on track? If the answer is “yes” to any of the above, then you might want to become efficient in the area of bodyweight exercises and that too in close quarters. I was skeptical myself until I started implementing these “prison-style” workouts into my regular training routine. Modern training equipment and advanced nutrition is not necessarily the foundation of a top-notch muscular body. Inmates have proven that through dedication, creativity, and a desire to keep themselves strong in order to handle their tough environment a person can not only get a good workout but get really big and scary. Don’t believe me? Remember, Iron Mike Tyson and his stint in jail? When he got out, did he look like a frail, scared individual who had got his ass handed to him each and every day during his sentence? No! | https://www.bodypusher.com/prison-workouts/ |

Today, diversity in sports organizations is readily recognized. Athletes of different ethnicities, cultures, genders and sexual orientation often come together. But the degree of diversity in sports organizations today is much improved from decades past. And as society has evolved, it has diversity in sports to thank for social progress. Even now, events on the playing field continue to shape how we as a society perceive diversity and inclusion. Sports have the power to create social change—and they’ve done so throughout time. Remembering Those Who Paved the Way for Diversity in Sports Organizations

Kenny Washington — Advancing Diversity in Sports in the NFL
By all accounts, Kenny Washington was a superstar at UCLA. For one, he excelled in baseball and was considered better than Jackie Robinson by many. However, his true fame was in football, where his offensive rushing record stood for nearly 20 years. In today’s world, he would have been a first-round draft pick into the NFL. | https://www.boldbusiness.com/human-achievement/inclusion-diversity-professional-sports-part-2/ |

By all accounts, Kenny Washington was a superstar at UCLA. For one, he excelled in baseball and was considered better than Jackie Robinson by many. However, his true fame was in football, where his offensive rushing record stood for nearly 20 years. In today’s world, he would have been a first-round draft pick into the NFL. But there was no racial diversity in sports then, as the NFL had banned African American players in 1933—a ban that lasted 12 years. Kenny Washington’s break came when the Cleveland Rams decided to move to Los Angeles. The Rams wanted to play in the infamous LA Coliseum. But LA Tribune sportswriter, Halley Hardy, took issue with another all-White football team playing in a taxpayer-paid stadium. Under duress from Hardy as well as from Kenny Washington’s fan support, the Coliseum Commission required the Rams to allow Black players. | https://www.boldbusiness.com/human-achievement/inclusion-diversity-professional-sports-part-2/ |

Jackie Robinson — Advancing Diversity in Sports in MLB
Jackie Robinson is well-known for the role he played in advancing diversity in sports organizations. In part, this fact can be attributed to the popularity of baseball as America’s pastime in the 1940s and 1950s. But it is also because of the incredible character, patience, and charisma Jackie Robinson possessed—and of course, his incredible talent. His first MLB game in 1947 resulted in 4 hits, 4 RBIs and a home run. Without question, Jackie Robinson’s courageousness accounts for the diversity in sports that would follow in MLB and other sports. But there were also notable men who stood up for Robinson and diversity in sports organizations. Specifically, Branch Rickey, president of the Brooklyn Dodgers, was the one to sign Jackie Robinson to a contract. Likewise, MLB Commissioner Ford Frick and Team Manager Leo Durocher also went to bat for the superstar. The efforts of these individuals in addition to Jackie Robinson’s perseverance demonstrates the boldness needed to introduce diversity in sports. | https://www.boldbusiness.com/human-achievement/inclusion-diversity-professional-sports-part-2/ |

Art and its Impact on Society—Not Just for Art’s Sake
Content: With art as a form of expression and release, instances of depression and stress are significantly reduced. Moreover, exposure to creative endeavors makes people more open and tolerant of other people’s views and opinions. Likewise, the interactions and social bonds made through art can help increase the community’s social capital. Arts attract tourists and also different types of creative talent. This is extremely important in creating diversity and can directly be linked to more entrepreneurs and start-ups. A thriving art district in a community serves as that community’s cultural hub. It helps preserve the region’s cultural heritage and identity by making it accessible to the locals and tourists alike. The vitality of art districts also encourages the youth to pursue creative endeavors. Art and its impact on society are unique—it is localized and can almost be instantly felt. As art districts sit as the epicenter of cultural and artistic movements, related industries such as fashion and design, marketing and advertising, handicrafts and even food industries get an economic boost. | https://www.boldbusiness.com/society/art-and-its-impact-on-society-art-districts-revitalizing-communities/ |

OMEGA, which became operational in 1971, was the first global radio navigation system. It enabled aircraft to navigate using very low-frequency radio signals around the world. There were 8 OMEGA transmitters placed around the globe. The OMEGA system was shut down in 1997 due to the widespread use of GPS, but one of its stations in La Moure, ND, was converted to a US Navy submarine communication station. Wikipedia
3) Loran-C
Loran-C, which gained popularity in the 1970s, used a network of land-based radio beacons to create a long-range and highly accurate navigation system. But its fate was sealed by GPS as well. While Loran-C is still operated, many stations around the world have been shut down, or are the process of being decommissioned. Wikipedia
4) Inertial Navigation System (INS)
Originally developed for rockets, INS systems started to show up in the 1940s, with the German V2 rocket housing one of the first successful systems. Completely self-contained, INS systems use a series of accelerometers and gyroscopes to determine their position. In the 1960s, INS reached widespread usage in civilian and military aircraft for worldwide navigation. | https://www.boldmethod.com/blog/lists/2020/04/nine-types-of-aircraft-navigation-aids/ |

Content: Using the same basic concept as VOR RNAV, as long as you're within the coverage range of GPS reception and your receiver is functioning properly, you can navigate point to point. For an aircraft to get a 3D location, the GPS receiver must get a reliable signal from 4 satellites simultaneously. With GPS available and accurate nearly all of the time, it's become the go-to source for RNAV navigation. An FMS Uses It All
Flight Management Systems (FMS), which are typically found on business and airline jets, allow you to enter a series of waypoints and instrument procedures that define a flight route. If waypoints and procedures are included in the navigation database, the computer calculates the distances and courses between all waypoints in the route. During flight, the FMS provides precise guidance between each pair of waypoints, along with real-time information about aircraft course, groundspeed, distance, estimated time between waypoints, fuel consumed, and fuel/flight time remaining. While most FMS systems use GPS, that's not their only source of information. Many FMS systems in large aircraft are linked to an Inertial Navigation Unit (often times called an Inertial Reference System, or IRS), which is comprised of lasers and gyros that determine aircraft flight path, altitude, and attitude. And that's not the only extra source of information for an FMS. Most FMS systems can use GPS, IRS, VOR, LOC, and DME receivers to provided position information to the FMS. | https://www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/aircraft-systems/does-rnav-always-mean-you-are-using-gps-signal-or-other-sources/ |

Approved RNAV Systems, And When To Use Them
According to the AIM these are a few RNAV systems that can be approved. Keep in mind, the specific equipment and certification goes far beyond this list: Approved GPS Receivers
Flight Management Systems Integrating Multiple Navigation Sensors
RNAV System with DME/DME/IRU
DME/DME/IRU systems don't rely on GPS, and instead, utilize multiple DME stations and an Inertial Reference Unit to get position information. While GPS may initially provide the IRU with location information for calibration, it does not rely on GPS for operation. | https://www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/aircraft-systems/does-rnav-always-mean-you-are-using-gps-signal-or-other-sources/ |

When it comes to spark plugs, are two really better than one? Most car engines have just one spark plug per cylinder, and that seems to work just fine. But when it comes to airplanes, dual spark plugs are important for 3 major reasons. 1) Reliability
First off, reliability plays a major role as to why your aircraft's engine has two spark plugs per cylinder. Picture this: you're flying along in cruise, and your magneto fails. If you had a single ignition system with only one spark plug per cylinder, your engine would stop running. And your prop? | https://www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/aircraft-systems/why-aircraft-engines-have-two-spark-plugs-per-cylinder/ |

If you had a single ignition system with only one spark plug per cylinder, your engine would stop running. And your prop? Depending on your airspeed, it would either slowly windmill as you started descending toward Earth, or it would stop completely. Remember the saying that a propeller is a big fan that keeps pilots cool, and when it stops, pilots start to sweat? There could be some major sweating from that kind of failure. But that's not the only problem.

But that's not the only problem. Let's say you had a spark plug stop working in-flight. If you only had one spark plug per cylinder, you would lose more than 25% of your power, if you were flying a 4-cylinder engine. And if you've ever flown a small single-engine plane, you know that a power decrease like that could mean the difference between cruising and not being able to maintain altitude. By having a dual ignition system with two spark plugs, none of this is a problem. If you have a magneto fail, you'll probably see a slight drop in engine RPM, but the other magneto, and the spark plugs that it's connected to, will keep firing on all cylinders. And if you simply have a spark plug fail? | https://www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/aircraft-systems/why-aircraft-engines-have-two-spark-plugs-per-cylinder/ |

If you have a magneto fail, you'll probably see a slight drop in engine RPM, but the other magneto, and the spark plugs that it's connected to, will keep firing on all cylinders. And if you simply have a spark plug fail? The same thing happens. 2) More Power
There's another major benefit to having two spark plugs per engine, and that is power. When two spark plugs fire at the same time in a cylinder, you get something called a "twin flame front". That means that instead of your fuel-air mixture igniting from one point in the cylinder, it ignites from two separate locations on opposite sides of the cylinder. This is important for two reasons: | https://www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/aircraft-systems/why-aircraft-engines-have-two-spark-plugs-per-cylinder/ |

There's another major benefit to having two spark plugs per engine, and that is power. When two spark plugs fire at the same time in a cylinder, you get something called a "twin flame front". That means that instead of your fuel-air mixture igniting from one point in the cylinder, it ignites from two separate locations on opposite sides of the cylinder. This is important for two reasons: 1) the fuel air mixture burns more quickly, and 2) the fuel air mixture burns more completely. And when you have both of those things happening in your cylinder, you get more power, which is something almost every pilot is looking for. 3) Even Combustion
Combustion is the last major factor in a dual spark plug configuration. When you only have one spark plug per cylinder, the fuel-air mixture burns top-down from the center, moving outward. But when you have two spark plugs on opposite sides of the cylinder, the fuel-air mixture burns from the edges of the cylinder, moving inward. | https://www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/aircraft-systems/why-aircraft-engines-have-two-spark-plugs-per-cylinder/ |

But when you have two spark plugs on opposite sides of the cylinder, the fuel-air mixture burns from the edges of the cylinder, moving inward. This even burn helps prevent hot-spots in the cylinder, and distributes pressure more evenly across the cylinder, which is important with the big, high-compression, air cooled engines found in most airplanes general aviation airplanes. https://www.flickr.com/photos/scsibug/

There's one last benefit to a dual spark plug configuration, and it has to do with spark plug fouling. 100LL Avgas contains lead. And to be more specific, it contains "TEL", or tetraethyllead. TEL is added to avgas to prevent engine knocking (also known as detonation). | https://www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/aircraft-systems/why-aircraft-engines-have-two-spark-plugs-per-cylinder/ |

There's one last benefit to a dual spark plug configuration, and it has to do with spark plug fouling. 100LL Avgas contains lead. And to be more specific, it contains "TEL", or tetraethyllead. TEL is added to avgas to prevent engine knocking (also known as detonation). TEL helps prevent engine knock, which is an uncontrolled combustion of pockets of fuel-air mixture in your cylinder, by raising the temperature and pressure where auto-ignition occurs. But while TEL helps with knock, it introduces another problem: lead deposits. If the TEL doesn't completely vaporize in the combustion cycle of your engine, which can happen if your engine is running too cool, lead deposits can accumulate on your spark plugs, causing them to mis-fire.

That's where the dual ignition comes into play again. If a spark plug fouls, you have a backup spark plug that keeps firing. Two Really Is Better Than One
