1980s >> 1980 >> no-909-may-1980
Christianity, again!
To the Editors
The article 'Christianity Confidence Trick' (March Socialist Standard) is an ignorant parody of Christianity. I am a Christian and a socialist. I am also a member of the 'Christian Socialists', who are proud to include in their number Donald Soper, who has endured years of opposition to his socialist views in his church, and some support. Similarly, a host of priests like Camillo Torres have led the opposition to repressive governments. It is so easy for the Socialist Standard to flaunt its white sheet, while remaining comparatively aloof from the dirty world of political life.
I don't believe in the literal truth of myths like the Virgin birth, or of the gross parody of Genesis presented in 'Confidence Trick'. Has the Standard never heard of poetic truth? I suggest that the author of the article does some research into the involvement of chapels in the fight for better conditions of work, and the continuing fight to ensure that men, of no matter what colour or nationality they may be, are treated with the dignity and respect that is their due, as brothers in Christ.
David Fraser, BA
David Fraser searches desperately for some way of linking his Christian superstition with a commitment to Socialism. Donald Soper (who was given a peerage as a reward for his efforts in the service of distorting socialist ideas) is cited as a 'Christian Socialist', and so is Camillo Torres. All that these Christians have done is to have adapted their religious twaddle to fit in with the popular liberal sentiments of their day. Religious leaders have usually been forced to re-interpret their dogmas as conditions have changed, but Christianity has only been accepted by the establishment because it serves to defend. the status quo, even if some Christians might favour a reform or two. If Lord Soper is a socialist why is he a member of the Labour Party, which has always been committed to the continuation of the capitalist system?
Mr. Fraser does not believe that 'myths like the virgin birth' are literally true, but that they have something to do with 'poetic truth'. If he means by this that they are stories which are symbolic of some deeper meaning he ought to tell us what the deeper meaning is (and how he knows what it is) — and while he's about it he had better inform the millions of gullible people who have been taught by churches, schools and missionaries that the Bible contains the words of unquestionable truth. We note that Mr. Fraser has failed to dispute the three criticisms of Christianity which were contained in the article, 'Confidence Trick': that there is no such thing as human nature; that supernatural forces (gods) should not be believed in; that the legendary character of Jesus Christ was an unattractive one.

Browser Helper Objects (BHOs) are DLL modules that have been created to enhance the Internet Explorer functionality.
But these items are frequently used by some spyware applications in their attempt to monitor the users' online activity and to get ahold of their credentials.
SpyBHORemover is a simple-to-use program with a self-explanatory name - it allows you to get rid off Browser Helper Objects used by malicious agents. It can be handled even by less experienced users.
The interface of the tool is represented by a standard and uncomplicated layout. SpyBHORemover automatically performs a scan job upon initialization. Afterward, you can check out the name, thread analysis result, company, product, date, along with the class ID and file path of each BHO.
So, all you have to do is remove malicious Browser Helper Objects with the simple click of a button. On the bottom side of the layout you can check out the thread levels and color - 'Dangerous', 'Suspicious', 'Need analysis' and 'Good". After a BHO is removed, you can view it in a secondary list. Items can be restored and the scan report can be exported to an HTML file.
Additionally, you can access the context menu to scan a BHO online via VirusTotal, ThreatExpert or ProcessLibrary. Plus, you can open a DLL's directory, jump to its entry in the Windows registry and view file properties.
SpyBHORemover requires a low amount of system resources, quickly finishes a scanning procedure and does a great job at taking care of unwanted Browser Helper Objects. It didn't cause our operating systems to freeze, crash or pop up error dialogs. SpyBHORemover is certainly a tool worth keeping in your collection of security apps.

Hello, my name is Katy, I´m from Madrid, and I have a Persian cat. He spends most of the time home alone; between my full-time job and taking care of my daughter, unfortunately, we are hardly ever home on weekdays. I was considering adopting a female kitten to keep him company. Do you think it´s a good idea? What do you think I should do?
Hi Katy, the advantage of having two cats is that they will play together and challenge each other. If you are away from home a lot, they will keep each other company and even sleep together. There can also be downfalls to this decision, since cats are independent and solitary and very territorial they are used to routines and introducing a new pet in the house can be stressing. I recommend you make the encounter slow and steady, so they both have time to adjust and accept each other. Good luck!

Dogs and rabies - why some people are barking up the wrong tree
It's no wonder that dogs are known as 'man's best friend' - for centuries, they've been by our sides. Whether that's for companionship, home security, or working as a team on the fields, rounding up flocks.
Their acute senses also mean that they've been trained to detect drugs at airports, and work is underway to see if they can even sniff out diseases such as cancer and malaria. With their little wet noses, adorable eyes and fluffy ears, it's easy to see why they make the world a better place for people, and sometimes, they even save lives.
Dogs are everyday heroes. So why are our canine friends often mistreated?
One of the big problems facing dogs today, certainly in countries where rabies is present, is the threat of being culled, as a misguided attempt to keep people safe from the disease.
Rabies is a disease that can be transmitted through the bite or scratch of an infected animal, which can be carried by dogs. If left untreated, the consequences can be fatal. But, it is preventable. Our teams not only work on the ground to vaccinate and neuter dogs, but we also educate and work with government bodies across the world to eliminate rabies via educating communities. We have vaccinated 1.6 million dogs since 2013, and are championing the United Against Rabies Collaboration's 'Zero by 30' rabies elimination initiative
Perception: The most effective way to eliminate rabies is to cull dogs
Reality: Millions of dogs around the world suffer horrendous cruelty in a bid to reduce their numbers.
Studies show that when you cull dogs in one area, a new pack of dogs will move in once the territory is available, and killing dogs undermines vaccination efforts where the turnover of dogs is high. In fact, there is no evidence that culling dogs alone has ever lead to a reduction in rabies, whereas when vaccination coverage of around 70% or higher has been achieved – the results have been extremely positive. Culling isn't the answer – it will not eradicate rabies, vaccinations will.
Perception: It's just as effective to treat people that have been exposed to rabies than vaccinating dogs
Reality: Prevention, is always better than cure. By vaccinating dogs for rabies, the disease is stopped in its tracks, and that's the safest solution. Rabies can be fatal, and if bitten by a rabid dog, it'll be a race against the clock to find treatment. This is a problem for those not close to medical facilities, who cannot afford the treatment, or those who don't realise that they've contracted the disease.
Perception: The most cost-effective way to reduce rabies is to treat people directly
Reality: The financial differences are staggering. When you look at the global average, it costs around $3USD to vaccinate a dog against rabies, and this could be a dog that could transmit the disease to numerous people. But on the other hand, treating a person that's been bitten by a rabid dog will cost $108USD on average – that's 26 times as much, and the cost is even higher in Asia - 30 times the price.
Perception: Governments are doing everything they can to eliminate rabies
Reality: Rabies needs to be a priority for governments in countries affected. There's a clear opportunity to make sure that rabies programmes are being taught in schools in these countries. Rabies is a particular issue for children, with up to 60% of the victims being under the age of 15.
Perception: If you're bitten by a dog with rabies, the best thing to do is to wash it and see if it will clear up in a few days
Reality: Although washing the wounded area with soap immediately and frequently could make a big difference, this alone won't stop rabies becoming a serious issue. Once the disease has manifested itself past a certain point and symptoms become apparent, it is 100% fatal. The simple fact is, that there are absolutely no medical substitutes when it comes to rabies. If bitten, medical attention must be sought immediately.
Perception: It's easy to identify rabies in dogs – they'll be foaming at the mouth and roaming, not a pet
Reality: Rabies can affect any dog, even pets. When they contract the disease, they pose a risk immediately, although on the surface, this might not be obvious. Using force or violence to defend yourself against roaming dogs will only aggravate them and make the situation worse, so be calm and kind.
The only way to ensure that the dogs around you are risk-free, is to support vaccination schemes. In addition to this, getting either your pets or dogs around you sterilised and registered or microchipped will also help.

Storm Ready Gardening
The Mid Atlantic's unpredictable weather patterns are infamous. The top 50 storms in Maryland have all occurred in the months of September and October. Property damage has included unnecessary destruction from loose limbs, untethered patio furniture and garden containers that have been lifted by high winds.
Take It or Leave It
Take an inventory of your outdoor environment and decide what you can live without until spring to protect against impending fall and winter storms. You are not only working to protect your home but, also to protect against uncontrolled breakage and ripping of limbs and tree bark. The smarter way to control your plant care is to make the decisions in advance. Ripped, scared and open bark houses disease and is a haven for pests.
We Don't Mean Pruning
If you have waited until now to general shaping and pruning, you've waited too long. This is not the kind of plant maintenance we're talking about here. Only the very vulnerable need to be attended to in October. We are addressing weak limbs that have already started cracking, anything you missed last month that is hanging over your house or driveway, and anything that may cause damage to your neighbors' property. Cutting back is a version of pruning that can cause new growth so be judicial.
Shoring Up Container Gardens and New Plantings
If you have space to store your planted containers, wait until the first light frost and then drag them into the garage or shed. If you intend on leaving them out, you'll want to insulate the pot with straw bales or burlap covering over the entire planting.
Next week, we dressed it all up for the holiday!

The holidays are officially upon us. It's been a busy week around these parts, thanks to our own Andrew Crews, who's diligently orchestrated yet another year of fantastic giveaways. Today marks the end of The 12 Days of XBLA, and your last chance to score the amazing Grand Prize worth $55 in Xbox Live Arcade games. Be sure to check out the final entry of the contest, and toss your hat in the ring. Finally, we want to wish everyone a very Happy Holidays from all of us here at XBLAFans!
Black Knight Sword was co-developed by Grasshopper Manufacture and Digital Reality and published by Reverb Publishing. It was released on December 12, 2012 for 800 MSP. A copy was provided for review purposes.
Moments before the curtain is pulled, it's clear Black Knight Sword is something unique. Bright stage lights pour over rippled maroon as patrons titter in anticipation. Suddenly, an alarm bell rings out. Silhouettes quickly rise to shuffle away from the stage. The production's now vacant audience is an appropriate analog for what's to come; a unique experience targeted at no one in particular.
Black Knight Sword has been touted as many things: retro platforming homage, surreal fairy tale, dark twisted mystery. All this it achieves, helmed by Goichi "Suda 51" Suda, whose penchant for the bizarre oozes through the grim aesthetic. The black knight, assuming the role after coming into contact with the sword spirit, must battle through a punishing gauntlet of horrors, each chapter unfolding like a storybook parable — pushing along a loose narrative that resonates with deeper significance.

A solid week for Xbox Live Arcade. We've got some big releases and DLC to pour over, a lot of great games on the horizon and a few impressive milestones for XBLA favorites. What did you pick up this week? Are you battling for Middle-earth? Hitting monster combos in Tony Hawk, or pitting historic figures against each other in fantasy duels to the death?
Opening night for Suda 51's newest bloody adventure Black Knight Sword is next week, December 12 on Xbox Live Arcade. This theatrical hack-and-slasher comes from Grasshopper Manufacture and Digital Reality, the same star-crossed teams from Japan and Hungary that brought us Sine Mora earlier this year. We saw the game earlier this year at PAX East, where we noticed a striking similarity to a certain other over-dramatized villain. The reverent nods continue in the press release they sent earlier today:
Bring out yer dead! Bring our yer dead! And, no, it won't cost ninepence because The Black Knight from Black Knight Sword is here to rid the world of treacherous evil for the thrill of killing. The wicked, bad, naughty, villainous, duplicitous, and super evil Dark Princess must pay the penalty! So never fear, The Black Knight will make his grand debut in Black Knight Sword on Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft Wednesday, December 12. Even without arms or legs, The Black Knight will partake in an adventure through a strange spin on a classic fairytale to defeat the wicked creatures of the night.

Believe it or not my favorite part about video games isn't the games themselves but the way they bring people together. Arguably no show demonstrates this bond better than PAX. Thousands of likeminded individuals flooded Boston this past Easter weekend. It didn't matter where you worked or what you did or what you had to do when you hit the ground again on Monday; for one glorious weekend everyone was an equal: a gamer. It didn't matter if your weapon was a die, a mouse, a controller or one's own body. Everyone at this show had a passion for games.
A few of us from XBLA Fans made the trip and had the honor of mingling and checking out some of the upcoming XBLA titles for 2012 and beyond. We were able to hear developers in their element talking to fans about their projects. It was an amazing experience. Our own Andrew Crews has already elaborated on this issue, but in the end you remember the little things. That being said, there were some amazing games. Check out our full breakdown below!

What Are The Best OTC And Natural Alternatives To Baclofen?
Important InformationThis information is for educational purposes only. We never invite or suggest the use, production or purchase of any these substances.

Baclofen is a medication often prescribed to treat spasticity. It is also used as a muscle relaxant and antispasmodic drug to treat spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis. The use of this medication may result in a high or relaxed kind of feeling, which can also lead to its abuse or Baclofen addiction. Even when it is taken precisely as prescribed, it is easy for a patient to experience a withdrawal when they finally try to decrease the intake of the medication. Symptoms of Baclofen withdrawal can be severe, and Baclofen alternatives can be a solid choice to wean off of the drug. This article lists some of the over the counter options as well as natural alternatives to Baclofen that can be used instead of it.

Table of Contents
Are there Any Differences Between Muscle Relaxants?
There are many options available that can be used instead of Baclofen (Lioresal). However, all of them have their own pros and cons.
Baclofen vs. Methocarbamol
An option that is easy on the pocket and comparatively less sedating too is Methocarbamol. Methocarbamol has been studied for use in back pain, and results show it can result in complete pain relief. It can be a reliable alternative if one is trying to figure out between Methocarbamol vs. Baclofen.
Baclofen vs. Cyclobenzaprine
10 mg of Cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) three times a day has been reported to be quite effective. It causes drowsiness, which isn't acceptable especially during the day. Flexeril vs. Baclofen is a more expensive option and should also be avoided if one is looking for a non-sedating analog.
Robaxin Vs. Baclofen
Robaxin is also a prescribed muscle relaxant, but like Baclofen, it often causes drowsiness and dizziness. Baclofen is a better option for spasticity and spinal cord diseases while Robaxin is used mostly for muscle spasm issues. Both medications can be dangerous when used in combination with other drugs or substances such as narcotics.
Baclofen Vs. Phenibut
Both Phenibut and Baclofen are derived from GABA, but Baclofen is often prescribed for muscle spasticity and phenibut for anxiety. Phenibut can easily become an addictive substance while Baclofen is quite difficult to become addicted to this drug.
Baclofen vs. Soma
Also known as Carisoprodol, Soma much like Xanax has the potential for being abused and therefore should be stopped if there is a concern or a patient's predisposition to substance abuse. Choosing Baclofen 20 mg over Soma is normal as Soma offers greater side effects than Baclofen. Also, avoid using Soma in people over 65 and always go for better options if available. Even if prescribed, use only for two to three weeks as prolonged use has no evidence of showing effectiveness.
Baclofen vs. Zanaflex
Also known as Tizanidine, Zanaflex is used for spasticity in patients that have multiple sclerosis or cerebral palsy. The Tizanidine vs. Baclofen 10 pill comparison shows us that the latter has fewer side effects compared to Lioresal, but the same level of effectiveness. However, it is not a first line choice for back muscle pain or acute neck pain.
Lioresal is effective, but it also has a number of side effects. Up to 20% of people using it report that Baclofen cause drowsiness. It isn't the best option for neck and back muscle pain so a Baclofen alternative with fewer side effects should be a better option for some.
What is the Best Medication for Spasticity Management?
Lioresal is a popular and first choice treatment for muscle spasticity caused by spinal cord injuries or multiple sclerosis. Baclofen 10 mg price is quite low, and it starts from $1 per pill. However, it is not recommended for other types of muscle spasms. Apart from the specific muscle spasms caused by brain injury or multiple sclerosis, Lioresal is not the best medicine to take. There are many alternatives available to Baclofen, but all of them treat only a specific type of muscle pain. Neurontin is good for tingling and burning nerve pain. Tegretol or Carbamazepine is better suited for the treatment of seizures and epilepsy. Valium, also known as Diazepam is a relaxant that helps relieve anxiety and muscle spasms. Zanaflex or Tizanidine is another treatment for muscle spasticity but not recommended as the first choice. The point is that there isn't one medicine or drug that can be labeled as the best replacement or Baclofen alternative. Depending on the nature and type of muscle pain as well as the history of the patient, the best Baclofen alternative will vary. Some of the most popular options, however, have been mentioned.
Lioresal medication is usually administered through the help of an injection into the spinal cord. Snorting Baclofen powder may lead to the abuse of the drug, and therefore, it is not recommended.
Baclofen OTC Alternatives
Baclofen over the counter alternatives can also be used as therapy for muscle spasms caused by acute lower back pain, tension headaches, or other similar conditions in different patients. Over the counter means that this medicine can be bought without a prescription, unlike Baclofen, which should be tried before one looks towards prescription medications.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are one over the counter choice that can be used to treat muscle spasms and pain. Examples include Ibuprofen and Naproxen. Acetaminophen is another Baclofen OTC alternative that works well to help relieve muscle pain.
Here is a list of some popular Baclofen OTC alternatives:
- Tylenol
- Ibuprofen
- Naproxen
- Aleve
- Robaxin
- Skelaxin
Are there Any Natural Substitutes to Baclofen Available?
Lioresal might be the only option for some people in several health conditions. However, it can be challenging to get off the drug if one has been using it for a certain period. If possible, physical activity has been reported to be an effective alternative to relieving muscle spasms and pain. Swimming and other activities can generate beneficial results and reduce the need for prescription drugs.
Here are a few natural muscle relaxants that one can use instead of Lioresal to treat spasticity:
- Cherry Juice
- Chamomile
- Cayenne Pepper
- Blueberry smoothie
- Magnesium
- Vitamin D
What is the Best Baclofen Alternative?
Some injuries and conditions can leave the use of Lioresal unavoidable. It helps to alleviate spasticity and relaxes the muscles, but its side effects make it a drug that should be avoided if possible. Getting off the drug even after prescribed use can be difficult. The alternatives mentioned above can be effective alternatives depending on the type of pain as well as the patient.
Also, it is necessary for a patient to keep an eye on dangerous Baclofen drug interactions. For example, Tramadol is a useful pain-relieving medication used for back pain and other nerve-related pains. However, Baclofen and Tramadol together may cause nausea and sedation. Extended use may lead to chemical dependence.
In any case, it is better to listen to a professional opinion and go deep into details before making a move. Caution should be exercised during the treatment process if Lioresal has been prescribed to ensure the drug isn't abused and withdrawal can be avoided. Professional rehab recovery can be of great help in both cases and can help those addicted as well as weaning off the drug for good.

Thank you to Reindeer in Here for providing me with product for my post. All thoughts are my own.
Hey parents, if you're looking for a sweet tradition to start with your family this holiday season, I have an amazing idea for you! Every year, our family starts a countdown to Christmas with a special friend (aka- our elf), and this year, he's being joined by 'Fluffy,' our adorable reindeer pal from Reindeer In Here. I was so excited to introduce you all to Reindeer In Here over the summer, and now that the holiday season is upon us, our reindeer is ready to take up residence in our home and help us celebrate the season.
It all starts with a sweet little reindeer!
Unlike other holiday traditions which focus on children's behavior and reports back to Santa, Reindeer in Here takes a different approach to the joys of the holiday season. The Reindeer in Here gift set comes with the 8" reindeer plush (like the one shown above), and the book, which you read and enjoy as a family. Your kids are encouraged to love on their sweet reindeer and discover the true meaning of the holiday together.
Another wonderful reason to love Reindeer in Here is that the sweet little reindeer was specially designed, just like each and every one of us. The story showcases the differences of the reindeer and his friends, showing kids that 'different' is normal, and no two people are exactly alike. As I read Reindeer in Here with my kids, we celebrated the differences that make is so special.

China has released jailed Tibetan writer Kalsang Tsultrim known as Gyitsang Takmig on Friday. Tsultrim was jailed in July for circulating a Video Compact Disc (VCD) containing 'banned contents'.
The video appeal recorded on July 18, 2009, months after the unrest in Tibet, urged the international community to "act swiftly on behalf of the Tibetan people" to end repression in Tibet and also called for the return to Tibet of the Dalai Lama.
Tsultrim spoke of his concerns for the survival of Tibetan religion and culture, and the human rights abuses perpetrated by the Chinese authorities in his hour long video. The video was widely distributed in Tibetan areas in Gansu, Qinghai and Sichuan provinces that are part of the traditional Tibetan provinces of Amdo and Kham.
Tsultrim, a monk of Gyitsang Gaden Choekorling Monastery in Sangchu country is said to be well known locally for his writings. Kalsang's arrest came amid prosecution of several other prominent Tibetans that included writers, bloggers, singers, artists and influential cultural figures, and lately even successful businessmen.
Some information for this report was provided by Phayul

Sen. Scott Weiner of California, passed the bill SRC-110, for intersex people -children- to choose whether or not they want their genitalia to be corrected with surgery, Tuesday, August 28, 2018.
The passing of the bill is one of the first for recognizing Intersex people, and CA is the first state to pass the bill.
People who identify as Intersex are born with sex characteristics- genitals, gonads, and chromosome patterns- that do not resemble cisgender male and females typical bodies. ( See Intersex Fact Sheet).
Intersex people make up 1.7% of the population. The bill states in the 1950's physicians were allowed to perform medical surgeries on infants whose genitals did not fit the norm.
Weiner and co-sponsored social justice organizations, such as interAct and Equality California, affirmed the bill to give people/youth of the intersex community a voice to decide whether or not they wanted to follow through with the 'corrective' procedure.
With the legislation now in place, physicians need consent from the person who is intersexual to perform a genital procedure.
According to the Huffington Post, Weiner stated the following:
"California has long been a leader for all people, and we can lead the way in supporting intersex children and their families," Wiener said in March when he introduced the resolution. "Infants who are born healthy should not be forced into a medically unnecessary surgery, and our medical community needs to help families to take a more measured approach to surgery. Over time, as a child grows and they can make their own choices, then that is the appropriate time to discuss medical options."
Although the bill does not ban the surgery entirely, it helps people recognize intersex individuals as a person with a choice.
With one state in the U.S. on board to make a community of people feel equal and heard, other states are bound to follow and move forward to a future where all identities are accepted, and new studies can be conducted to give every person the respect and care they deserve and need.

With Android now running on over 2 billion active devices around the world, it's no surprise to see many popular apps beginning to cross the 100 million (or even 1 billion) download milestone. The most recent member of this select club is the popular VLC player for Android, which has just been downloaded over 100 million times on Android devices. As always, this counter is per device and not per account, meaning that if you've installed VLC on more than one of your devices over the years, then you've also contributed more than once towards this download count.
VLC isn't the most popular video player on Android — that crown would probably have to go to MX Player — but it is arguably the second most popular.Read More

The theatre is a type of art, which was born from communication with the gods, rituals for various cults and to entertain people in their free time. Theatre was also the place where people got a political and social education, it was also used as a place of civic and philosophical debates and had functioned as a spiritual purification.
They have been designed as temples of art and they were seeking to remove their audience from everyday concerns and to send them in some virtual reality but the function of the theatre since the early beginnings is to entertain people. Theatre brings stories and performances to amuse the public and with stories it brings pleasure. This makes it an important part of life for some people and for theatre to complete its purpose, it needs space.

Theatres have been located everywhere, from the most elegant residential areas to working-class neighborhoods so it is available for everyone. Normally nowadays we imagine theatre as a building that has a architectural space designed for performances , but in medieval times there are examples where theatres existed as an important part of urban life and they didn't have any specific architectural elements devoted for its use. In 1597 Cuthbert Burbage had inherited a theatre in London which was the first of its type but it was just called The Theatre. Using this building as a base and adding some materials in the theater it became the most impressive theatre which was built in 1597-1598.
This theatre is also called as The Shakespeare globe theatre, because it was a place where Shakespeare staged most of his greatest plays. Plays in the globe theatre usually started at three o'clock. There were three types of flags which were hang on the flag mast and used to indicate what type of play was to be played. Red was for history , white for comedy and the black flag would indicate that tragedy it was a day for tragedy usually that play would include death scenes. The first Folio was published in 1623 and was a collection of 36 plays by Shakespeare.
None of his plays were published when he was alive but written plays by Shakespeare were performed at the globe theatre. A tourist called Thomas Platter said in his diary that he had witnessed an amazing performance on Julius Cesar, which was performed by 15 actors. Also many notable plays were performed during 1600-1613 starting with hamlet and ending with Henry VIII. Also a lost play of Shakespeare called Cardenio should have been played in 1612.

Hi, I have an interesting problem. I have two separate polygon layers in ArcMap/ArcPro One layer, B, is made up of smaller polygons and contained within another layer, A. B contains an EXT attribute, which can be different, so for example layer B has three polygons completely contained by layer A, and these three polygons have different EXT attributes, say 1, 4 and 7. I would like to merge these EXT attributes into layer A, so that layer A has a field called EXT, containing 1,4,7 from the layer B.
There is nothing unique between these two layers so I cannot do a relate or table join, I can only do a join based on spatial location, or try using dissolve, merge geoprocessing tools. I've tried all of these and haven't gotten the result I want. Is this actually possible? I don't want to sum, or average or range these EXT values. Iwant to preserve them. I want them all in a new EXT field for A, preferably separated by a space or comma.

Burkina Faso's Alarming Escalation of Jihadist Violence
What do we know about the 2 March attacks in Ouagadougou?
The attacks represent an alarming escalation for Burkina Faso in terms of organisation, lethality of armaments and length of engagement. The attacks were claimed on 3 March by the Group to Support Muslims and Islam, known by its Arabic acronym JNIM, which is part of a wider coalition in the Sahel linked to al-Qaeda.
Operations were carried out by two groups of at least four to five assailants each. While the incidents were confined to the city center, they hit two symbolic targets at the heart of power in the country: the army headquarters and the French Embassy.… Seguir leyendo »

Today's scripture: Gal 4:1-7 (NRSV) (The Message) (KJV) What might God be saying to me?
My thoughts (Ernest Disney-Britton):
Would you be surprised to learn that a Christian conservative from Michigan created the world's largest art competition? If so, you might also be surprised to learn that 2014's winner of that competition was an Islamic cube created by an artist born in Pakistan. The event is called ArtPrize, and attracts more than 23,000 visitors each day to Grand Rapids, Michigan — including yours truly and my husband, Greg.
Rick DeVos, of the Amway family, created ArtPrize in 2008, and he is well known for believing in what things can be, and not just what they have always been. He's not an artist, but he doesn't need to understand or even agree with every aspect of the art fair's operations to believe in letting it soar. Instead, he trusts that the spirit of the idea, and the foundation laid, will prevail. How do we develop that kind of faith?
That is the lesson of Galatians 4:1-7, in which Paul urges us not to live locked in old ways of knowing like a slave. He urges us instead to grow into the realization that we are now children of God, and free of the old bond while fueled by the same spirit. Jews of the ancient world followed rigid rules of the past, but Jesus' birth, death, and resurrection opened the door to new freedoms for those with the faith to step forward.
This year ArtPrize will celebrate ten years of bringing a new light to the world through the fine arts. It's a movement begun by a Christian conservative with the faith to step into his promised light. Greg and I go annually to experience the results of this faith. It's an event at which the city's congregations join with museums, restaurants, banks, stores, and offices to showcase the nation's best in artistic talents. There's nothing else like it in the USA, and it started with faith.
Thought for the day: Are you stuck living in the past, or do you have enough faith to create something new?
We encourage you to include a time of prayer with this reading. If you need a place to get started, consider the suggestions on the How to Pray page.

The TradesNetwork is a website that introduces British Columbians home and enterprise enchancment projects to native contractors and tradesmen who've been rated and beneficial by others. Whenever you select JW House Improvement you possibly can anticipate a detail-oriented approach to your projects. Jesse insists on placing the customers' greatest interests at the forefront, so your wants are met in a well timed style and with options totally explained. The unique thought for the show came from Allen and was titled Hammer Time. Frances Fisher, who is best known for her dramatic work on the stage and in movies like Unforgiven and Titanic, was originally forged as Tim's wife, Jill. She shot the pilot episode , however did not take a look at well with audiences. So she was changed by Patricia Richardson and the pilot was re-shot for ABC.
This may not price you more than $a hundred-200 in supplies, although you'll want some customary power tools ( mitre noticed , nail gun , and so forth.), however it would take at least a couple of weekends of time, so plan forward. With Blogger, easy blogging as its core function, however WordPress is a powerful Content Administration System that happens to incorporate blogging as a primary characteristic. One of many good spot for bloggers is You can find what other bloggers are posting in your niche. You can even contact them to listing your weblog at no cost so as to add extra site visitors.
Have you ever each seen the show known as 'Dwelling Enchancment'? It was one among my favourite exhibits within the ninety's. I even have the collection on dvd. The show consisted of how a normal blue collar household capabilities and grows with a crazy dad named Tim, a persistence mother named Jill, and three wild boys Brad, Randy, and Mark. Throughout the collection the family consistently had to do residence enchancment projects in the residence and out of the home. Some had to do with bodily matters, but primary the show exhibited emotional issues on how a household will get by means of the robust times and troublesome days of everyday life expressings family morals and ethics.
Since 1995, attributable to its recognition, reruns started airing on The Disney Channel , Channel four and ABC1 within the UK. Originally, Home Improvement was aired on Channel 4 and then later the Disney Channel ; nevertheless, in 2005, it started broadcasting on ABC1 On September 26, 2007, ABC1 ceased transmissions and no official announcement was made as to which channels would be broadcasting ABC1's earlier programming. Though the show stopped airing in the UK because of ABC1 ceasing transmission on September 26, on July 28, 2008 it restarted from the pilot episode on Virgin 1 Nevertheless, it was announced that Virgin 1 (now Channel One) would shut on January 31, 2011, and no announcement has been made concerning which channel the show might be moved to.
Robert Picardo , finest generally known as The Physician on Star Trek: Voyager , made two appearances on the show as Tim's neighbor, Joe "The Meat Man" Morton. He appeared in "A Sew, Sew Night," and "Blow-Up," both early on in the third season. It was explained by his wife Marie ( Mariangela Pino ) in the fifth-season episode "Jill's Shock Occasion" that he had left her for a youthful woman who labored at his plant (the actual cause why Picardo was no longer seen was his role on Voyager). Fascinating. I think the guest-posting technique appears to be waning, sadly. What's tough on this business is so A LOT content material (and plenty of good stuff) is on the market. The query begins extra to be about how good your content material on your web site is.

LeoVegas has announced in a statement on its website that it will only be offering its services to a small number of affiliates in the United Kingdom, amidst regulatory changes.
Back in September, LeoVegas announced it was withdrawing its services from the Australian market in response to new gambling regulations. Now the company has limited its services as a response to a number of recent announcements made by the UKGC regarding market updates.
In November, the UKGC warned operators to review their terms and conditions to ensure customers are treated fairly, as well as enhance consumer protection efforts to better protect punters.
In its statement, LeoVegas stated it had been working closely with the UKGC to ensure its business with various affiliates were compliant.
"As we appreciate the challenges around implementing these changes, we have provided clear guidance of what we expect from our affiliates and have tried to keep an open line of communication with our affiliates to support them throughout this process," LeoVegas said.
"We are encouraged to see that several affiliates are taking these changes seriously and have taken on compliance managers or external legal counsel to ensure their ongoing compliance; this is something that we welcome."
Nonetheless, during this period of consultation, various affiliates were not willing to comply, resulting in LeoVegas' decision to reduce its business relationships.
"However, based on the response we have received to these initial actions, it is clear that these compliance requirements are not easily met for some affiliates," LeoVegas stated.
Earlier this year, Sky Bet made the controversial decision to close its affiliate programme, raising concerns over the compliance of the marketing of a number of its affiliates amid mounting regulatory pressure.
"The recent announcements from UKGC and guidance from the CMA delivered at the Raising Standards conference clearly indicate further ongoing changes to compliance requirements going forward and, naturally, we must ensure our affiliates are prepared to address these needs," added LeoVegas.
"We are not and will not be able to continuously provide review and guidance services to all affiliates and would like to emphasise that the responsibility to achieve compliance ultimately sits with the affiliate.
"For these reasons going forward, although we value all the hard work all our affiliates have been putting in to the partnership, we are only able to continue to work with a small number of affiliates who satisfy our compliance standards, share our commitment to compliance, and further have the operational scale to guarantee ongoing compliance and deliver a worthwhile contribution to our business."

Private Lawyer Referral Services in Jackson County
LegalMatch can quickly connect you to qualified attorneys in your area. There's no cost to use this online matching service and lawyers are available for all areas of law.
There are two private lawyer referral services in Jackson County that are available to the residents. Legal Aid for Western Missouri and Kansas Legal Services both offer attorney referral services to those who qualify.
In order to be eligible to use Legal Aid for Western Missouri's Lawyer Referral Service, users must meet certain standards. First, your case must be within certain areas of law, and you must not have an income above a certain level. For example, Legal Aid for Western Missouri does not refer attorneys to handle criminal matters. They also makes no guarantees about any of the attorneys that are referred through their system, nor do they guarantee that you will be referred to an attorney even if you meet their requirements.
Like the Legal Aid for Western Missouri, Kansas Legal Services' Lawyer Referral Service has certain criteria that a Jackson County resident must meet before being allowed to use the service. First, the client must have a problem that has a legal remedy, and this remedy must be available through the Kansas courts. Second, you must be a plaintiff or a defendant in a Kansas court proceeding. Lastly, you must be eligible for free or reduced fee legal assistance, which means you must be making less than the federal poverty guidelines. However, Kansas Legal Services cannot provide referral services for criminal cases, traffic cases, accident claims, personal injury or wrongful death suits, or prisoner representation. Additionally, this service does not provide any sort of guarantee about the attorneys they refer, nor does it provide you with any information about an attorney that is referred to you.

Another attraction of this beach is the beautiful lush green vegetation and fishes. This is the only place in Neil Island where water sports are being conducted. This beach is ideally recommended for youngsters because of activity options. The beach is popular for activities like coral watching and swimming. One can hire glass-bottom boats for viewing the corals under water. Most of the tourists visit this beach in the morning hours and do snorkeling as in the evening they get to watch the sunset at Laxmanpur Beach. This vast sandy stretch and gently curving bay allows for a perfect swim. The water is so shallow that even non-swimmers can take a refreshing dip. Water Sports activities like jet ski rides and scuba diving are also available at the beach. There are also plenty of stalls selling refreshments, coconuts, snacks and some tourist souvenirs. Visitors can also find toilets and changing rooms on the beach. Sitapur Beach Sitapur Beach is exposed to the open sea and thus prone to higher tides. Also known as the Sunrise Beach, this beach offers mesmerizing sunrise views early in the morning. This serene beach has two curved bays and clear blue waters. It is popular for its natural vegetation and limestone formations. Though prone to high tides, this beach is considered safe for swimming at all times. All along the white stretches of soft sand there is plenty of shade from the palm trees. At low tide one can walk to the second bay and explore small caves or just enjoy the peacefulness of Sitapur Beach. The journey from the Jetty to Sitapur beach itself is refreshing with green fields and a variety of crops and forest trees. As the beach is never crowded there are no facilities yet, one can only buy fresh coconuts. There is a resort with a small restaurant

I have concluded that even the best, most driven individuals & teams need a validated second opinion from time to time. Having access to 10,000+ corporates & scale-ups within Epicenter across four cities helps me make this conclusion. Let me explain more in this post.
Key takeaways from this post:
- How to know you need new external perspectives?
- How to qualify the help you need?
- How to get the right type of help to give you breakthrough results?
Patterns to look out for to know if you need new perspectives:
- You are stuck: Certain projects, plans, or structures can make us feel stuck. If you are trying to find a new market or scale innovations within a complex corporate structure, this is not uncommon at all
- You see the destination, but lost in the way: You know the vision, the great goal, but you feel lost along the way. You are reading all the maps you can get your hands on, speaking with anyone who can help, but you are unable to find clarity.
- You relish the challenge but secretly wish this would go away: Most of us agree that tough situations are a great way to pick up new skills and experience. Very rare are challenges so daunting that one feels entirely out of hope for a sustained period, primarily when you reflect with the cushion of time and experience.
Common patterns rooted in psychology:
- You are a good problem solver for others: Most of us are generally better at finding solutions for others. Since emotions or lack of perspectives blind us, we fail to see the forest for the trees.
- Avoid Embarrassment: Almost all of us feel it would suck to do something that costs a lot of time, money, and embarrassment for us as individuals or as teams.
So, in short, things could get tough, and you are up for solving it, but you don't want to embarrass yourself. You would like to find new perspectives, challenge your thinking, and make sure you improve the probability of your success.
Ten examples of such challenges:
Validate / Invalidate:
- Do we have the right strategy?
- Are our objectives & key results clear? Does the team get it fully?
- Are we executing on the right set of activities to build value now?
- How can we work at a higher speed to validate x?
- Are we making the right choice by taking decision x?
- Should we take external funding or not?
- How do I get my stakeholders/board to support us on these choices?
Feeling Stuck or lost:
- We are not able to find our market for our product. What are we missing?
- We are not able to grow our revenues fast enough. I need help to fix this.
- We are not able to get our organization to execute on the strategy. What am I not seeing?
Consultants or Agencies can help but don't solve it:
- Reports & Analysis have a role to play but don't help in most of these challenges.
- Agencies get into execution too fast, which can lead to the wrong items being executed.
- You do not retain the knowledge in-house with external solutions or control, especially in corporate contexts.
- It can cost an arm & a leg to do this right.
Enter Coaching:
Enlisting a coach is a much more accepted form of help in the United States than in Europe.
Why do only athletes and have mentally sick have coaches? We find that weird.
Funnily most successful people have either a qualified sparring partner or a coaching structure around them. Most don't know about them.
Don't believe me? Ask Eric Schmidt, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Marissa Mayer, Elon Musk. Or just read this book by Eric Schmidt.
Having a neutral support vehicle behind you or your teams can be highly valuable.
While the culture from the United States through startup programs, accelerators have brought the coaching culture, but they have forgotten the principles that make for a good coach.
Coaching today is riddled with experts and mentors that are trying to preach. Many coaches do not take enough time to give teams breakthroughs through an elegant combination of show, nudge, and inspire.
But why do I need a coach when I can ask my friend?
Maybe. But just asking a friend who you know might give you views you want to hear or perhaps even an honest 2nd opinion. However, if you wish to gain new perspectives, you want to go deeper with a structured approach:
- Do they take the time to understand your situation? Does the person or group you are asking for help understand your situation enough to find patterns with you?
- Do they ask you the right questions? The combination of why, who, what, when, where & how can go a long way if you keep repeating them.
- Do they challenge you to get outside your box? Feedback can sting, but if you do not feel challenged, I would argue you are not getting new perspectives.
- Do they help you get breakthroughs yourself with the right combination of "show & nudge"? The best help, in my view, makes you smarter by either helping you find the "breakthrough" yourself through 1–3 above or give you pointers for you to discover this yourself.
- Are they for real, or are they preaching from a book? Have they done things you respect, or did they invent a title & read a book recently? Many that say they are business coaches, unfortunately, fall in the latter category.
So what are you looking for in this support structure?
- Neutral perspective: They are unbiased, not tainted by their investments or a board seat
- No one size fits all: The structure & time spent is customized to your challenges and is not a standardized course. As much as courses can help, you want the support you get to fit your needs.
- Giving clarity in almost every interaction: You should get microdoses of clarity in every interaction. Good coaches help you see things you don't. They help you discover the path ahead through a beautiful combination of their expertise & aggressive listening.
- Aggressive listening: They listen to you carefully, aggressively without preaching all the time. With the right toolkits to help you cut through complexity and find insights during and after such sessions.
- Finally, chemistry: If you are going to work with someone a couple of hours a week, you better have chemistry and enjoy it.
These are the reasons we added coaching sprints to our service portfolio in our ecosystem:
6–12-week sprints with scale-up founders (min. 500K€ in turn over, a growth rate of 30% YoY for 2 years) or innovation/business development teams within enterprises. We try to balance listening, showing, nudging, and inspiring. With Epicenter, we bring in peer to peer learning & sharing, which, in our opinion, can be an excellent source of energy for problem-solving.
Examples of such sprints can be generic such as setting the right scaling strategy or aligning objectives & key results within teams, issues. They can also be challenge-based such as finding new distribution channels to scale or running pilots within corporates.
We believe 6–12 weeks is a reasonable time to combine problem-solving with testing the building blocks to see if the approach can generate clarity and precise business results. Most of our clients after this time frame fly alone with us as light sparring partners on demand. We also see that running 2–3 sprints per year increases the cadence of execution, teamwork, and general problem-solving skills in the team, helping you retain all that knowledge in house.
Our approach to help teams find clarity & speed up execution.
A perfect solution if you ask us, of course, we are slightly biased.
We run coaching sprints for scale-up entrepreneurs and corporate innovation teams and business development units. Book a free 30-minute call or come to our free events to explore if this could help you get to your goals faster.

It's hard to believe that it's only been a week since last Sunday. This past week had a whole lot packed into it. It was a good week - I feel like I really lived the heck out of it. It makes me think about weeks that just seem to sort of slide by without me noticing it. There are some days of my life that I do not live. That is not a good thing. I want to live every day, I want to look back at the end of every day, every week, and know that I lived through it, I didn't just exist through it. I find that this usually means I spend more time with other people, talking to them, trying to build them up, hanging out with them, etc. It's exhausting, but it sure does feel right at the end of the day.
Everything is working out fine with the car stuff. The lady didn't contest my story, and she admitted the accident was her fault. As a result, her insurance company is paying for everything I need, so good show there.

Focus on Candidate and Employee Experience: How to Attract and Retain Talent
I really love what I do for a living, if for no other reason than to watch and experience first-hand, the new trends in finding and engaging talent. With the current state of unemployment at less than 3 percent, this has increasingly become the biggest issue employers are facing today.
The new "buzzwords" that people are talking about are "candidate and employee experience". For firms with big organizational development departments, this new phenomenon has taken on some reality and while not perfect, has created programs that appear to attract the new millennial worker. But for the common masses, candidate and employee experience are not even on their radar.
So, let's discuss how those of us who run organizations without massive human resource departments can compete. Candidate experience refers to the process of garnering talent from your unique branding message, starting with how you source talent through the interview and offer stages. Employee experience starts pre-on-boarding and runs through the lifecycle of an employee in establishing a strong company culture. To be effective, let's unpeel this onion one step at a time.
Your unique messaging to finding talent:
o Our old messaging to garnering talent was about what motivated the baby boomer worker – ability to earn a good wage (even overtime), clean facilities, steady work.
o Today's messaging is very different – we must articulate an understanding of the "purpose" or "why" what we produce, or the service we offer, makes a difference in the lives of those impacted by the business. Motivators include: Work/life balance and the ability to really "live" truly exists, while working for your organization. Challenging work – not so much physically but mentally- to keep the new employee from becoming bored quickly and wanting to move on. Empowerment to do things in a new and/or different way than previous, potentially less innovative successors. The reality is, money is no longer a key driver in the decision of where to work.
Candidate experience is not an easy undertaking. Putting together new messaging in some cases can mean a significant cultural shift, one that requires a leader who will be completely aligned and committed to the change. Those leaders that have bought into a "people first" cultural transformation for their workplace are winning the war on talent.
Sourcing for talent
o Finding the people to interview has also changed completely. Gone are the days where you could place an ad on a post in the company yard or on a job board and tons of qualified applicants would apply.
o Passive candidates, which are by far the most attractive candidates to fill an open position, need to be sourced. Communication, in the form of an e-mail, text or social media outreach; with a great message around the company story, written in a way that stirs the emotions in the reader, will help companies to enhance their pipeline with talented passive candidates.
Interviews are also being done in a whole new way. No longer does it make sense to just "drill" the candidate on why they think they are qualified. This information is still important, but the messaging around getting that information is very different.
Values of your organization and behaviors attached should play a key role in the type of questions you are asking potential employees. Because "purpose" and your "why" are of importance to them, your questions should align with getting to your own culture fit and if the candidate can integrate into your culture.
o Mental toughness is important to be successful in our organization. Many times, the simplest of circumstances can derail a project that you have worked tirelessly on. Tell me about a time where you had to demonstrate mental toughness to continue when things got rough.
o While each person in our organization works as a solo producer to hit production metrics and earn compensation, our group either wins or loses as a team. What would you do if you had to make a decision that would impact your own compensation negatively, but ultimate appeared to be the best decision for the team? Explain the steps you would go through to make this decision.
These questions bring out two core values that we talk about when we interview – mental toughness and passion for the company. If either of these do not exist, they culturally are misaligned and will not integrate well into our organization. We have designed questions for all seven of our core values including mental toughness, passion for the company, emotional maturity, energy/drive for achievement, leadership, strategic perspective and desire to serve others. Possession of or willingness to emulate these seven values and their behaviors has transformed our hiring. Remember culture eats strategy for lunch. Hire for attitude, train for skill.
My final note on candidate experience is the actual experience the candidate has pre-interview, during the meeting and post-interview. Those that are doing this well have figured out a way to create an experience that is unique to all the other interviews candidates have been on.
A couple of ideas that we have witnessed are:
o Pre-interview – Firms that do "candidate experience" well, have created material that gets the candidates excited to interview. One of my favorites is the video Oshkosh Defense (a division of Oshkosh Corporation) created called "We are Honored" (on YouTube).
This video begins with the normal viewing of the products they make – which in this case are very large military vehicles, and frankly, not very "sexy" to the average worker. Fast forward, you see several of the employees of Oshkosh Defense talking and working at their jobs. So far, nothing unique – but here is where it turns to magic!
Suddenly, you see these same people holding pictures of loved ones – brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, and war buddies and the messages attached to each picture create a strong emotional connection at your core. The one that chokes me up every time is the Mom, who turns her phone to show a picture of her husband in military fatigues with two little girls and it states, "At home we call him Daddy". When reality sets in, that their work is saving the lives of those they love, you get the "why" they are so passionate to work for Oshkosh Defense. This one video transformed the interest level of candidates who would interview with their firm dramatically.
While this is a great example, sometimes it's as simple as a nicely worded e-mail from the President telling the candidate how excited they are to meet the candidate and telling a bit about your company's story is all that is needed. It doesn't take a lot of money or time to create a pre-interview experience, but the transformation in interest is highly notable.
During the actual interview, it is critically important to put your best foot forward. People always compliment our "Director of First Impressions" for the amazing experience she creates for everyone when they enter our doors. This is "game day" – now the "experience" begins:
o Everyone is greeted by a live person – not a phone with an extension to buzz.
o Everyone is offered a beverage.
o No one waits for more than five minutes in the conference room – even if they are early. Someone goes in and keeps them company.
o We let them know ahead who will be in the room and their positions within the firm.
o We tell them they can ask any questions they would like – we will be completely transparent.
o We learn about them first – this is as much about their decision as ours, and we want to know what it is that brought them to our firm.
o The president, owner or some member of leadership meets with every candidate for at least five minutes, no matter the position. No one can sell a firm better than those who run it day in and day out, and that passion creates the "why" for most candidates. This step is the one most often missed and one of the most important not to miss, because we think other tasks are more important than hiring good people?!
o If we decide to make an offer, we do so within 24 hours – speed to hire is very real in this market!
Once an offer is accepted, the final "candidate experience" piece is to send them a company token with a letter telling them how excited you are that they will be joining you. Can be as simple as a note, but a polo shirt with the company logo or business cards with their name and title go a long way to get the candidate excited and create that feeling of "I am home".
Whew! Who knew finding and garnering top talent was so difficult! Ah, but it is…talented people have options. It is a lot of work to garner the right folks – but well worth the investment long-term.
The final stage of the employee experience is about integration into your corporate culture. This is quickly being referred to as "employee engagement" and surveys are popping up all over the place to try and determine your firm's level of employee engagement.
Employee engagement begins with, what is most firms' weakest link – onboarding. From the first day, employees make decisions on their choice of firms and 1) if they made the right choice and 2) how long they intend to stay. I hate this statistic, but the average Millennial stays in their current job on average 18 months to 3 years. The mentality of, "I owe my soul to the company store" days are long over.
Creating a culture of engagement is probably one of the most difficult tasks for most company leaders today. Understanding what keeps your employees motivated and engaged is certainly an ongoing challenge.
The best we can offer are some trends that seem to be working. Here are a few pages from our clients' 'employee engagement activities" that seem to be working, demonstrating that engagement scores are rising:
o Fun at work is big. Taking time to play hard after working hard appears to keep company cultures fresh, and builds comradery and teamwork amongst the employees. We implemented Office Olympics once a week where we end at 4:00 on Thursdays to challenge each other to everything from chair races in the parking lot to silly string fights. Large corporations can do this by department but giving people an outlet to be "people" appears to create cohesive cultures.
o Utilizing social media to recognize and reward performance and personal milestones. Birthdays, anniversaries, outstanding sales achievement – everyone loves it when the company recognizes them and letting friends and family share in their successes and celebrations via social media is making big traction.
o Giving everyone a voice. Implementing workshops that mix generations together to understand and come up with creative solutions gives all generations a renewed appreciation for the differences and strengths each bring to the workplace.
o Involve and include families in the employee's work life. Everything from goal setting to community engagement activities. The more the family buys into their work, the more commitment we see from the employee.
o Flexible work schedules and working from home. Not all roles have this a possibility, but where it can work, it is a huge motivator.
The bottom line is this. The "experience" you create for your team is one of the most critical components to winning the war on talent. It's the emotional activities, not just the transactions of our work day that create the "whys" that motivate the next generation of workers. The sooner we embrace this change, the sooner we can win. The only thing stopping you from winning is you.
