2019-06-28T14:34:36+05:30 Had Offered To Quit As MP Congress Chief After Lok Sabha Poll Debacle, Says Kamal Nath
Published: 28 Jun 2019, Updated: 28 Jun 2019 2:42 pm
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath has said he had offered to resign from the post of state Congress president after the party's debacle in the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections.
His remarks come in the backdrop of reports that Congress president Rahul Gandhi had expressed disappointment that none of the party leaders, holding top posts, took responsibility for the party's poll rout after the Gandhi scion decided to resign last month.
Rahul has been adamant on stepping down as the Congress chief.
Resigned After Taking Full Responsibility For Congress' Defeat In Elections: Rahul Gandhi
Nath said he takes responsibility for the party's poor performance in Madhya Pradesh, where the Congress bagged just one out of the 29 Lok Sabha seats.
"I take responsibility for the party's defeat in Lok Sabha elections in the state. Rahul Gandhi is right. I do not know who is responsible for the defeat but I had offered to quit the party post," Nath told reporters on the sidelines of a function in Bhopal late Thursday night.
"I personally believe that I am responsible for the party's defeat. I do not know who else in responsible," he added.
A senior Congress leader said Nath had offered his resignation as state party president after the Lok Sabha poll results.
"Nath had said he takes moral responsibility for the party's defeat in the state," he added.
Nath was appointed Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) chief in April 2018, while he took over as chief minister of the state in December last year.
Nath had offered to resign from the post of MPCC president after the Congress wrested power from the BJP after a gap of 15 years and he became chief minister.
However, he was asked by the Congress high command to continue in the party post.

what is the place of origin of painting
Windy Nook was constructed in the 1980s and completed in 1986. With their different context in terms of style, history, and cultural, the symbols and meanings of the artworks are depicted. We believe art has the power to transform lives and to build understanding across cultures. I want to outline how we can understand this work in relation to other large scale landscape works. Its not often that anyone has the opportunity work with such interesting people over such an extended period on a project of such ambition. More recently granite from Kemnay has been used for the new Scottish Parliament building in Edinburgh . In describing the project Maine talks about �making the landscape as art, rather than placing art in the landscape’. For one to understand… This idea, however, originated five hundred years ago in Renaissance Europe, and is not directly applicable to many of the works studied by art historians. I invited Maine to lead a project which addressed the history of granite quarrying in the North East of Scotland as part of the 150th anniversary celebrations of John Fyfe Ltd. The art form dates back to the early 9th century, a period dominated by the Chola rulers, who encouraged art and literature. It is located in Kemnay, Aberdeenshire, in the North East of Scotland. Traditionally, his famous work, The Art of War, was thought to have been written in the later stages of the Warring States Period (481-221 BCE), but since the discovery of an older version of the text written on bamboo strips in a tomb at Yinqueshan in souther… Anything designed by human beings exhibits visual qualities that are specific to the place and period in which it originates. None except Windy Nook emerge so specifically from their context.

Some people believe that this is in part because Bennachie’s most prominent �top’, the �Mither Tap’ is shaped like a female breast. His proposal to designate bings as monuments, an action which involved no aspect of shaping the landscape, operates at the level of �drawing attention to’, a phrase Maine also uses. The latter forms part of the collection of the National Galleries, and the former part of the M8 Project initiated and managed by Art in Partnership. Granite from the North East of Scotland not only gives Aberdeen its nickname, the Silver City, but it was also exported and used for the Thames Embankment, the piers of Tower Bridge and Electric Avenue in Brixton, all in London, amongst other locations across the UK.

They are physically experienced, perhaps more than viewed or seen as an aesthetic object. Learn how your comment data is processed. There are also another set of reference points. The work also draws inspiration from the Quarry itself, and in particular the construction of retaining walls and platforms. An important shift in the art world occurred when New York City replaced Paris as the center of the art world. My attention has been drawn to this because of the poor photography in both the Aberdeenshire Design Awards and on the Public Art Scotland web site. The commitment of these individuals was central to the success of the project. Working with the man ploughing the ground in preparation for the tree planting, Maine guided him in curves that follow the contours of the landscape. As I mentioned above, the form of the viewpoint borrows from Bennachie, the dominant hill on the horizon. I’ll return to these sources. He explores the physical properties of essential materials including salt. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. I took advice from Board Members and colleagues. I was at that time just taking over from Fred Bushe OBE as Director of the Scottish Sculpture Workshop. In the discussion they describe how the results of their own intuitive work on the ground amazed them when seen from the air. Charles Jencks’ Landform Ueda (2001) at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh is different again. The artists worked closely with the Greenbelt Group, who were contracted by RB Farquhar to deliver the woodland and other green spaces in the development. Their focus was from the outset to draw attention to the historic quarry workings. Not many did the whole of it. Place of origin definition is - the place where something is made or created. Place of Origin could only be where it is, tied to its location by sight lines to Bennachie, by the form of the landscape and the form of the land ownership, built substantially out of material from the immediate vicinity by processes used in that specific industrial context. The elements of this language—its shapes, lines, colors, tones, and textures—are used in various ways to produce sensations of volume, space, movement, and light on a flat surface. Images of the work on Glen Onwin’s web site. So, with John, I was negotiating with many partners, securing funding (and writing the attendant reports), setting up events for the community to find out more about the project. So at the bottom of the site we find willow, and in the middle birch and oak, and in the upper areas pine and larch. Our physical experience of these different works is also informative. Working with John Harrison of Harrison Eastwood Engineers, Maine, Goldberg and Onwin proposed the construction of a viewpoint over the quarry, using methods and processes common to the quarrying industry. Place of Origin conforms in some respects to this structure, with both the quarry and Bennachie being out of sight as you walk through the woodland and ascend the hill. Maine, Goldberg and Onwin suggest that Place of Origin shares an aesthetic with a Japanese garden – it reflects the larger landscape it sits in. Second, Italian culture was such that origin was part of the oral traditions often passed on to posterity. This is most obviously manifest in the extensive archive of drawings and photographs where you find the same aspect drawn in three hands, the same issue explored by three different pairs of eyes. Although these books certainly performed a role in keeping the artists’ thinking coherent over extended gaps, I believe this collaboration developed, at least in part, because of the approach Maine took to bringing the team together. This is the currently selected item. U.S. incoming passenger lists were regularly kept since 1820. Robbie Finnie and Mike Kinghorn built most of the viewpoint. The paintings primarily depict animals but also include occasional human forms, a variety of non-representational […] It represents a continuous, though periodically disrupted, tradition from Antiquity.

Wassily Kandinsky is often regarded as the pioneer of European abstract art. […] of Origin though I’d say its a park as sculpture rather than a sculpture park? Windy Nook involved the transformation of a colliery slag heap. Maine invited Brad Goldberg, an artist with a significant public art practice in the US, and Glen Onwin, then Principal Lecturer in Painting at Edinburgh College of Art … These paintings are known for their elegance, rich colours, and attention to detail. We went […]. Ancient Portraiture. But there are a number of additional borrowings and references. Over time, Some weeks later Maine flew into or out of Dyce Airport over the site and was able to take a photo through the window of the plane. At the time my role was clear – I was Director of the Scottish Sculpture Workshop, we were doing this project, and we did what was necessary. Early Christian art falls into two categories: that of the Period of Persecution (up to the year 323) and that which came after Constantine the Great recognized Christianity: the Period of Recognition. First Century–c. Graciously they allowed the artists to set aside that design and implement their own. In the film made recently, I think it is Goldberg who talks about this Japanese concept translated as �borrowed landscape’. Place of Origin took 10 years and is a project which I am very proud to have initiated. ( Log Out / Aspects of the surrounding landscape, including mountains, generally visible from the locality, are blocked from view within the garden, until you reach the key viewpoint. In Switzerland, the place of origin (German: Heimatort or Bürgerort, literally "home place" or "citizen place"; French: Lieu d'origine; Italian: Luogo d'origine) denotes where a Swiss citizen has their municipal citizenship.It is not to be confused with the place of birth or place of residence, although two or all three of these locations may be identical depending on the person's circumstances. Place of origin sells sweets, snacks, staples, dry fruits, etc from various parts of the country and all of them are of the best quality. In a world where we’re encountering and consuming images at a rapidly increasing rate, we must be able to “read” what we see to be able to decode it. A brief history of the cultures of Asia. The origin of "painting the town red" comes from the drunken activities of huntmens in Melton Mowbray. He insisted that we (himself, Brad Goldberg and Glen Onwin and myself) go on a road trip. Maine had met Goldberg at a sculpture symposium in Japan, but had never met Onwin, though they had both had work in From Art to Archaeology, a group exhibition at the Southbank Centre, London, in 1991. “In history class, we usually look at the pictures and talk about the context, but here we get to really experience it,” said Beminet Desalegn, whose … A brief history of the representation of the body in Western painting, A brief history of the representation of the body in Western sculpture, Naturalism, realism, abstraction and idealization, Classical orders of architecture explained. It is generally thought that Bennachie had religious significance in prehistoric times, and this is indicated by the number of stone circles in its vicinity. Place of Origin is a �landscape as art’ project, which recently received a Saltire Award. Within the paths they had formed two circles and connecting lines which clearly resemble the sort of symbols used by Picts to represent mirrors. For all the effort, for all the massiveness of the sculptural project, as an experience it directs our attention to the quarry and to Bennachie, to the line of the river and to the settlement. This included ancient sites and modern forms of land management, as well strange experiences – standing on the edge of an absolutely still sea loch, looking across at a faerie island (in fact the peninsula on the other side), with the sun and its dog in front of us, reflected in the water creating four sources of light, and our multiple shadows behind us. We were only able to go for a walk because they also wanted to go for a walk. Is there a difference between art and craft? Any definition of art has to square with the followinguncontroversial facts: (i) entities (artifacts or performances)intentionally endowed by their makers with a significant degree ofaesthetic interest, often greatly surpassing that of most everydayobjects, first appeared hundreds of thousands of years ago and existin virtually every known human culture (Davies 2012); (ii) suchentities are partially comprehensible to cultural outsiders –they are neither opaque nor completely transparent; (iii) suchentities sometimes hav… ( Log Out / Firstly and inevitably we might look at the work of Robert Smithson. Another phase of change was implemented by rendering the tags to larger scale. You will have noticed that I have offered several different perspectives, from the practical to the art historical. Although Spiral Jetty (1970) is the most well known work, the Amarillo Ramp (1973) would also be a useful reference point. Sir Winston, King George V, and the slaves of ancient Greece—to name a few—all have their place in the colorful history of skin decoration. Place of Origin is a walk, taken by people with their dogs, and kids on bikes, as is Windy Nook. What maps tell us. Interestingly, Jencks’ work, although apparently landscape, is most frequently considered in the context of architecture. Maine, Goldberg and Onwin drew on a wide range of knowledge and expertise. I �initiated’ it only in so far as I suggested to some people (an artist and some quarrymen) that we might go for a walk. Workers from the quarries of the North East of Scotland also emigrated to other parts of the world and contributed to the development of the industry, particularly in the USA. We will review su […], This collection from the Climate Change Policy blog would have been useful when we were writing a Chapter and a Timeline for the new Routledge Companion to Art and the Public Realm. In this description it becomes apparent that this project is not �land art’ particularly as articulated by Robert Morris whose methodology based on precise information to be constructed by others. Each massive stone that forms the upper structure of the viewpoint was selected and placed individually, drawing on the expertise of the quarry men and the judgement of the artist. In practice we were led further and to more interesting places by the artist. Landform Ueda is �walked on’ at SNGMA, and some of the bings are heavily used. All of these works might be referred to in a discussion of site specific work, and all clearly change places and modify our understanding of their contexts. Some of this visual material was used to keep the project moving forward. These were accomplished using altered paint spray cans producing wider streams. Many people joined the walk for periods. Back on the mainland the three artists went on down the Great Glen, and only arrived in Kemnay after a process of, yes, getting to know each other, but also building up a shared visual experience.

Peter Robinson has explored the geology, botany and landscape of Place of Origin on his web site. This major earthwork has a far more formal aesthetic and does appear to be something put onto the landscape, in keeping with its environment of industrial parks and motorways. John Fyfe Ltd operated the quarries at Kemnay as well as a number of other major quarries, including Correnie and Tom’s Forest, in the North East of Scotland. Humans use art to communicate powerful messages. Of course the substantial work supervised by the engineer John Harrison and supported by companies doing compaction testing and so forth is �plan based’, but Maine’s description of shaping the hill being like working clay in the studio indicates where he sees heart of the process.

Mary Meigs Atwater Weavers Guild’s Wild About Fiber Arts
by Geoff Wichert | photos by Simon Blundell
The Contemporary art world advertises itself as suspicious of beauty, which it rejects as a goal or even a strategy. Sometimes, though, it feels as though not just beauty, but any natural pleasure is on their taboo list. Political or sociological statements, the reason-for-being of so much new art, come with portentous weight; if there is any pleasure to be had beyond that of agreeing with like-minded prejudices . . . and let’s be clear that liberal bias isn’t any better than conservative assumption . . . it’s the delight or desperation that comes from feeling one is right. If nothing else, this distortion of art’s traditional rewards underscores the value, from time to time, of abandoning the gallery devoted to hard-to-watch videos and data arrays, along with those reserved for sentimental, escapist landscapes and other reactionary matter, and giving ones attention to art that isn’t meant to lie uselessly in the gallery, or hang on its walls collecting dust. The notion that art cannot be an integral part of useful, otherwise functional objects is neither universal nor helpful. In fact, the right word for performing a task while using something beautiful to the eye and pleasant to the touch is ‘joy.’
From now until February 26, the Utah Cultural Celebration Center will be hosting the Mary Meigs Atwater Weavers Guild’s Wild About Fiber Arts. Those who make the short journey to West Valley will find a large assortment of quietly dignified, hand made textiles that promise to become more beautiful the longer ones looks at them. While these are arguably high-end products of the manual arts, they make two worthwhile—and politically and sociologically valid—arguments. One is that, contrary to the advertisements of industrialization, more material junk does not make us richer. A table set with Lori Webb’s hand-loomed placemats could not only make up for sitting down to simple fare, but make a point about the virtues of sharing food in a scattered, noisy world: the setting is part of the nourishment.|2| The other is that just as a good pair of socks will do more than a showy hat to keep your head warm, so the strength we derive from living amidst quality is more durable than what we get by surrounding ourselves with representations of a lost world. It’s not that the mimetic pieces—woven paintings and sculptures of felt or wire—are not interesting. Indeed, Sandra Sandberg’s brass and copper wire “Weaving the Woods” is both intellectually and kinesthetically compelling.|3| But there is a sense that comes from comparing Beverly Hart’s quilted wall hanging, “A Walk in the Woods” to the two bas-reliefs of Dana Perez—“Black Hole” and “Solar Flare”|4|—that as striking as all three mimetic images are, the former makes good use of the virtues of its non-mimetic, component fabrics, while the latter obscure their materials in pursuit of effects not really different from what could be achieved with gesso and paint.
For a practiced critic, finding metaphors and ideology is child’s play, whether in marble and paint, photographs, or dyed-and-knotted yarns. More fundamental than ideas, and harder to fool, are feelings. Consider, then, Kathleen McMaster’s “Mairi’s Blessing Dress.” Nothing we do on earth is more significant than replacing ourselves. We make our children with love, not the industry seen on farms. But we also do it invisibly, swaddled in mystery. Even a mother can feel a bit like a spectator when contemplating gestation. So what better way to spend months of expectation, or years of basic care, than in preparing properly for the ritual that weaves offspring into community? McMaster’s blessing dress isn’t fancy or frilly—it would never do at a royal coronation—but it is hand woven, equal to the most scrupulous examination. It says, softly but firmly, “This is the best I can do, and it is good enough.” Made over many hours of labor, but invoking the centuries of handicraft that went before, it came into being for a single use. Standing like a hand grenade in its glass case, but ready to explode in creation instead of destruction, it makes present the genius of understatement.
Other feelings are equally accessible here. While marveling at the range of contrasting textures displayed by Maureen Wilson, Karna Petuskey, and Jeanette Tregeagle, think about pride in ones skill; if an artist reveals himself in a self-portrait, what does a fiber artist mean by such a glorious shawl, or Brigitta Gornik by her bobbin-lace purse? Can stained glass windows evoke more awareness than hand-woven curtains? The truth is, again and again in this room, the eye plunges into the interior of a rug, a runner, a knotted rag, and finds riches for the mind as well. Here otherwise humble bits of human industry receive their due. An assemblage by Susan Timmy Burton, celebrating the machine-woven tapestries lying unseen on the backs of neckties, gives pause to wonder: how many of the men who have worn such ornaments knew these labels were engineered to hold the tie’s tail end, equally out of sight?
A kind of shrine at the center of Wild About Fiber Arts redresses a gross oversight. How is it that we celebrate the anonymous men and women who crossed an ocean and a desert to come here, but not Mary Meigs Atwater, who fought to preserve the Highland weaving tradition in the face of the Industrial Revolution’s machine looms? Faced with the choice between joining the futile destruction of the Luddites, or knitting together a positive force of resistance, she found her way here. To meet her halfway, and to see how much better some things were before the improvements of modern life, all that we need do is make a short trip across town.
The Mary Meigs Atwater Weavers Guil's Wild About Fiber Arts exhibit is at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center through February 26.

Exhibition Review: Salt Lake City
The Idiosyncratic Gaze
The photographs of Mike Disfarmer at the UMFA
by Shawn Rossiter
Though over time art museums tend to systematize and homogenize their holdings, most of our public art collections began with the idiosyncrasies of individual collectors. This is why, for instance, the Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA) has a surprisingly strong collection of Egyptian artifacts (Natacha Rambova, a wealthy heiress, onetime wife of Rudolph Valentino, and great-granddaughter of a Mormon apostle, donated part of her collection to her native state of Utah (see here)). Or why the institution is currently mounting an exhibition of small, timeworn images by a photographer from Arkansas.
The UMFA has a very well-respected photography collection, due in large part to collectors James & Debra Pearle, and the close circle of friends that have joined them in donating works to the museum. Among these are Daniel and Melanie Mattis, whose son, Michael Mattis, began been amassing a large collection of original photographs by "penny portrait" photographer Michael Disfarmer in 2004.
As UMFA curator Donna Poulton tells it, Mike Disfarmer was the town recluse of Heber Springs Arkansas, the odd type of character that everyone in town liked to talk about but whom few knew; the eccentric curmudgeon who bucked social norms and instilled fear in the hearts of youngsters. Oddly enough, he was also the local photographer. Out of a simple live-work space he built himself, he took photographers of just about everyone in the area, from the well-to-do mother showing off her children, to the dirt farmer in his best overalls. When Disfarmer died in 1958, he was unknown outside the small Ozark town. His anonymity changed in the 1970s, however, when Disfarmer's original glass negatives were discovered, cleaned, and published in a book – Disfarmer: The Heber Springs Portraits, 1939–1946. These portraits of the full range of characters from rural America, taken in unadorned settings and frequently capturing unguarded moments, caught the attention of an art world in the full flush of Minimalism and Disfarmer soon became a posthumous art star. His star blazed even brighter after 2004, when original prints by the photographer were discovered and purchased by Michael Mattis. Today, Disfarmer's portraits of young children, departing soldiers, and awkwardly arranged families are increasingly sought after; and thanks to the donations of the Pearles and Mattises, as well as Dr. Donald L. and Alice A. Lappé, scores of them are now on exhibit at the UMFA in the museum's newest exhibit Mike Disfarmer: Cleburne County Portraits.
Over the more than three decades Disfarmer took portraits of the residents of Cleburne County, Arkansas, he never upgraded his technology, continuing to shoot with glass negatives long after the mainstream had given them up for more advanced and lightweight setups. As we see in the photographs, however, his studio was transformed over the years. Early photographs from the '20s show traditional backdrops of romantic landscapes. Over time, these give way to plain monochrome backdrops, and in his final years Disfarmer placed his subjects in a room almost completely white save for a simple black table and a mysterious dark line that extends from floor to ceiling. The locals that came into his studio in these years ended up looking like Grant Wood's farmer stuck in a Mondrian.
In Disfarmer's compositions the vertical stripe frequently breaks one of the most basic rules of portrait photography, splicing the subjects in half. Its purpose – was it used for placement? "Stand in front of this line and don't move." Did it join two sheets of wall surfaces? – will likely remain a mystery. And Disfarmer might have liked it that way. He remained a mystery to the people he lived with for more than 50 years. His patrons were likely as drawn by the thrill of seeing the odd recluse as by any desire for a keepsake image. He turned his back on his roots, claiming at one time to have been torn from his real family by a tornado and placed with the Meyers – a rural Arkansas family whose surname means "dairy farmer" in German. His choice of a replacement name – Dis-farmer – is as antagonistic as it is unmelodious.
Disfarmer's eccentric behavior extended to the studio. His lighting adjustments were said to take up to an hour. When he was ready to shoot, he would place his subjects in a room, give them detailed instructions about what to do and not do, then disappear behind a wall, where he waited until he thought the moment was right to take the shot. Frequently tired and not knowing exactly what was happening behind the wall, Disfarmer's subjects were caught in unguarded moments. His sitters smile infrequently. More often they are caught in a moment of pause, not really sure when the photo will actually happen (there was no "say cheese" clue). Sometimes, as in the case of a portrait capturing two small children, they are visibly scared. The resulting portraits are frequently awkward and oddly intimate. They are unlike the famous photographs of the Depression era, ones by artists like Dorothea Lange, seen through the filter of politics and surrounded by the aura of History. They are the manifestation of an idiosyncratic gaze, of a man who cannot stop looking at the world from which he feels himself removed.
Mike Disfarmer: Cleburne County Portraits is at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts through July 14th.

In this paper, we describe the system design and capabilities of the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) radio telescope at the conclusion of its construction project and commencement of science operations. ASKAP is one of the first radio telescopes to deploy phased array feed (PAF) technology on a large scale, giving it an instantaneous field of view that covers $31\,\textrm{deg}^{2}$ at $800\,\textrm{MHz}$. As a two-dimensional array of 36 $\times$12 m antennas, with baselines ranging from 22 m to 6 km, ASKAP also has excellent snapshot imaging capability and 10 arcsec resolution. This, combined with 288 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth and a unique third axis of rotation on each antenna, gives ASKAP the capability to create high dynamic range images of large sky areas very quickly. It is an excellent telescope for surveys between 700 and $1800\,\textrm{MHz}$ and is expected to facilitate great advances in our understanding of galaxy formation, cosmology, and radio transients while opening new parameter space for discovery of the unknown.

We describe an ultra-wide-bandwidth, low-frequency receiver recently installed on the Parkes radio telescope. The receiver system provides continuous frequency coverage from 704 to 4032 MHz. For much of the band ( ${\sim}60\%$ ), the system temperature is approximately 22 K and the receiver system remains in a linear regime even in the presence of strong mobile phone transmissions. We discuss the scientific and technical aspects of the new receiver, including its astronomical objectives, as well as the feed, receiver, digitiser, and signal processor design. We describe the pipeline routines that form the archive-ready data products and how those data files can be accessed from the archives. The system performance is quantified, including the system noise and linearity, beam shape, antenna efficiency, polarisation calibration, and timing stability.

This paper describes the system architecture of a newly constructed radio telescope – the Boolardy engineering test array, which is a prototype of the Australian square kilometre array pathfinder telescope. Phased array feed technology is used to form multiple simultaneous beams per antenna, providing astronomers with unprecedented survey speed. The test array described here is a six-antenna interferometer, fitted with prototype signal processing hardware capable of forming at least nine dual-polarisation beams simultaneously, allowing several square degrees to be imaged in a single pointed observation. The main purpose of the test array is to develop beamforming and wide-field calibration methods for use with the full telescope, but it will also be capable of limited early science demonstrations.

There is general international acceptance of the need to demonstrate that the environment is protected from ionising radiation. In some countries requirements and guidelines for the protection of non-human biota are already in place. As a consequence a number of models and approaches have been proposed for the estimation of the exposure of non-human biota to ionising radiation. The IAEA EMRAS programme's Biota Working Group has conducted the most comprehensive intercomparison of the predictions of these approaches to date. In this paper, we present an overview of the activities of the Biota Working Group concentrating on its conclusions and recommendations.

In the UK, research funded by the Environment Agency/English Nature has provided a series of spreadsheet-based assessment tools for calculating doses received by biota in coastal, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems. The approach uses the reference organism concept where the organism of interest (feature species) is equated to a particular reference organism (based on its physical geometry and ecology). This paper describes the stages followed to collate additional species-, and site-, specific data and to undertake assessments to determine whether Natura 2000 sites are adequately protected from authorised releases of ionising radiation. The feature species used for the assessment were species listed under the EC Birds and Habitats Directives. The paper will describe the overall assessment process followed by the UK Environment Agency, demonstrating the staged assessment process adopted; how each feature species is mathematically aligned with the most appropriate reference organism geometry; and provide an example of the assessment conducted for the Natura 2000 sites located in the Humber Estuary, UK.
Detection of irradiation induced changes on the activity and diversity of soil microbial communities: The effect of soil type

Undisturbed soil cores from three temperate sites (deciduous and coniferous woodland and grassland) were irradiated to give cumulative doses from 0-160 Gy. Cores were incubated at 15$^{\circ}$ C and three cores from each treatment sampled after <1, 3 and 8 d. Soil fungi and heterotrophic bacteria were enumerated and the activity and functional diversity of soil microbial communities assessed in terms of their potential to utilise a range of C-sources. Although no significant treatment effects were observed in the numbers of cultivable fungi or fast growing heterotrophic bacteria, the numbers of cultivable Pseudomonas spp. declined in all three soils after irradiation at 80 and 160 Gy. Microbial communities from the coniferous forest soil also showed a dramatic decrease in the metabolic activity and number of substrates utilised by after irradiation at 160 Gy. Gamma irradiation had a greater affect on microbial communities in the two organic forest soils as compared to the mineral grassland soil, this could be related to variations in the physico-chemical shielding properties and in the indigenous communities in terms of radio-resistant species.
A case study in the Chernobyl zone Part I: Predicting radionuclide transfer to wildlife

A number of frameworks have been proposed to assess the protection of wildlife from ionising radiations. In this paper we compare the predictions of transfer parameters recommended by one of these frameworks (FASSET) with observed whole-body 90Sr and 137Cs activity concentrations in a range of mammal and invertebrate species sampled within the Chernobyl exclusion zone. Predicted activity concentrations are generally within the observed ranges and mean predictions for reference organisms are similar to, or circa one order of magnitude higher than, the observed means. However, some predictions are more than one order of magnitude lower than observed values. No data were available for animals to test predictions for the other radionuclides released by the Chernobyl accident. In a separate paper the outputs of this assessment will be used to estimate doses to reference organisms and compare these to observed radiation induced effects reported within the Chernobyl zone.

To demonstrate that nosocomial transmission of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) can be terminated and endemicity prevented despite widespread dissemination of an epidemic strain in a large tertiary-care referral hospital.
Interventions:
Two months after the index case was detected in the intensive care unit, 68 patients became either infected or colonized with an epidemic strain of vanB vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium despite standard infection control procedures. The following additional interventions were then introduced to control the outbreak: (1) formation of a VRE executive group; (2) rapid laboratory identification (30 to 48 hours) using culture and polymerase chain reaction detection of vanA and vanB resistance genes; (3) mass screening of all hospitalized patients with isolation of carriers and cohorting of contacts; (4) environmental screening and increased cleaning; (5) electronic flagging of medical records of contacts; and (6) antibiotic restrictions (third-generation cephalosporins and vancomycin).
A total of 19,658 patient and 24,396 environmental swabs were processed between July and December 2001. One hundred sixty-nine patients in 23 wards were colonized with a single strain of vanB vancomycin-resistant E. faecium. Introducing additional control measures rapidly brought the outbreak under control. Hospital-wide screening found 39 previously unidentified colonized patients, with only 7 more nonsegregat-ed patients being detected in the next 2 months. The outbreak was terminated within 3 months at a cost of $2.7 million (Australian dollars).
Despite widespread dissemination of VRE in a large acute care facility, eradication was achievable by a well-resourced, coordinated, multifaceted approach and was in accordance with good clinical governance.
The transfer of 73As, 109Cd and 203Hg to the milk and tissues of dairy cattle

By a variety of exposure routes it is possible that the toxic heavy metals cadmium, arsenic and mercury could enter the diet of farm animals and hence contaminate food products derived from those animals. Therefore, there is a need to be able to assess the likely levels of contamination in animal tissues if exposed to contaminated feed and also to estimate how rapidly an animal will decontaminate once the source of contamination is removed from the feed. The development of dynamic models to predict changes in the degree of heavy metal contamination in tissues of ruminants have been hindered by the lack of data on the transfer and excretion rates of these metals from tissues. A study is described during which dairy cows were given a single intraruminal administration of 109Cd, 73As and 203Hg and measurements made of the subsequent concentrations of the radioisotopes in body tissues and milk. The resultant data were used to adapt previously developed compartment models describing the behaviour of the metals in sheep for use with dairy cows. Two changes were made to the sheep models: (i) a new excretion route was included to describe transfer to milk; (ii) the rate coefficients (with the exception of those involving gut absorption and transfer) were adjusted according to the ratio of the metabolic live-weights (live-weight (kg)0·75) of the sheep to that of the cattle. The models predicted levels of the metals in the cattle tissues and milk reasonably well.
The transfer of arsenic to sheep tissues
N. A. BERESFORD, N. M. J. CROUT, R. W. MAYES
Journal: The Journal of Agricultural Science / Volume 136 / Issue 3 / May 2001
There is the potential for arsenic to enter the human food chain via ingestion by grazing animals. Data on the transfer of arsenic to ruminants have been too sparse to allow the development of dynamic models to predict changes in the arsenic contents of different tissues following ingestion. A study is described during which a group of 6-month-old lambs were given a single oral administration of 73AsCl3. Subsequently, concentrations of 73As in the tissues of groups of lambs slaughtered at intervals over a period of 181 days were determined. A true absorption coefficient of 0·46±0·055 (mean±S.E.) was determined which is considerably lower than expected from previous studies of non-ruminant animals which demonstrate complete absorption for inorganic arsenic. The resultant data were used to develop a compartment model to describe arsenic behaviour in sheep tissues. The derived model accounted for 80 % (n = 100) of the observed variation in the data. The model predicts that arsenic concentrations in tissues rapidly (< 40 days) reach equilibrium with the dietary intake level. Equilibrium transfer coefficient values (the ratio of the arsenic concentration in a tissue to the daily dietary intake of arsenic) for the important food-chain tissues were calculated as: (2·5±0·67)×10−3 days/kg for muscle, (9·1±1·96)×10−3 days/kg for liver and (1·1±0·14)×10−2 days/kg for kidney.
In Situ Measurements of Stress Relaxation During Strained Layer Heteroepitaxy

Journal: MRS Online Proceedings Library Archive / Volume 583 / 1999
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011, 167
We present real-time measurements of stress relaxation kinetics during epitaxial growth obtained using a wafer-curvature-based technique optimized for in situ studies. Depending on the temperature and misfit strain, different mechanisms of stress relaxation are observed. In heterolayers of InGaAs grown on GaAs (001) substrates, relaxation occurs by a dislocationmediated mechanism. In SiGe layers grown on Si (001) substrates at elevated temperature, relaxation occurs by the formation of islands on the surface. These islands elastically relax misfit stress without the introduction of dislocations at the island-substrate interface.
Material and Device Characteristics of MBE-Grown GaN Using a New rf Plasma Source
R. Beresford, K. S. Stevens, Q. Cui, A. Schwartzman, H. Cheng
A new rf plasma nitrogen source has been characterized for growth of GaN on basal-plane sapphire by molecular beam epitaxy. For rf power of 500 W and N2 flow rate of 2 sccm, a maximum GaN growth rate of 0.80 μm/hr is obtained, implying a source efficiency greater than 5%. It is found that the GaN surface roughness is extremely sensitive to V:Il ratio near unity and independent of growth rate in the range 0.3-0.8 μm/hr. Roughness as small as 1.0 nm (rms) is measured by atomic-force microscopy. Microstructure of the high-growth-rate films is similar to other GaN films, as observed in cross-section transmission electron microscope images. The electroluminescence spectra from homojunction light-emitting diodes exhibit a band of nearultraviolet emissions corresponding to the energy separation of the intentional donor and acceptor levels on the two sides of the junction. The intensity of these emissions relative to the visible spectrum increases with drive current density, implying saturation of deep trap levels responsible for the visible light output.
Epitaxial Growth of GaN on Lattice-Matched Hafnium Substrates
R. Beresford, K.S. Stevens, C. Briant, R. Bai, D.C. Paine
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2011, 55
A method of producing epitaxial GaN on single-crystal Hf has been developed. The metal substrate is formed by a strain-anneal process yielding macroscopic (5-mm) grain sizes, followed by polishing, chemical etching, and Ar ion sputtering at elevated temperature in ultrahigh vacuum. The growth is conducted by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy using an initial passivation layer deposited at low temperature and subsequent growth at 700 °C. The resulting films are in registry with the hep substrate lattice as observed by reflection high-energy electron diffraction during growth and verified by plan-view transmission electron microscopy. High-resolution x-ray rocking curve linewidths of the GaN and Hf [1012] peaks are as narrow as 900 and 180 arc seconds, respectively. The [0002] peak separation confirms the approximately 2.7% mismatch in the c axis spacing. Initial photo]uminescence observations at 20 K of a (donor-bound exciton) peak at 3.467 eV are consistent with the assumption of a nearly strain-free film resulting from the exact basal-plane lattice match and close thermal coefficient match between GaN and Hf.
Growth and Characterization of GaN on Si(111)
A. Ohtani, K. S. Stevens, R. Beresford
Wurtzite GaN films on AlN buffer layers were grown on Si (111) by electron cyclotron resonance microwave plasma assisted MBE (ECR-MBE). High resolution x-ray diffraction studies indicate that the mosaic disorder decreases with increasing growth temperature. The grain size is related to the growth temperature. The best (0002) diffraction peak full width at half maximum was 22 min. for a film 1.7 μm thick. Prominent exciton luminescence is observed at 3.46 eV at 10 K.
The plasma I-V characteristics were measured with a Langmuir probe near the growth position. The nitrogen ion density has been extracted from the data, and is a strong function of the N2 flow rate, the microwave power and the aperture size of the ECR source. The crystal quality of AlN is strongly affected by the plasma conditions.

Carrie Underwood Insists Her Family’s Christmas Celebrations Revolve Around Faith
While noting faith as the inspirational aspect of the holidays for her family, the ‘Hallelujah’ singer admits music, food and house decoration keep them excited as well.
Carrie Underwood keeps her Christian faith at the centre of her family’s Christmas celebrations.
The country music star, who shares sons Isaiah, five, and Jacob, 23 months, with former National Hockey League (NHL) player Mike Fisher, tells U.S. TV show “Today” her holidays revolve around the church.
While she insists the “inspirational aspect (of Christmas) is a really important part of the holidays for us,” she’s quick to point out the celebrations continue back home too.
“We love decorating the house, and we always get the boys their own tree they can decorate any way they like,” she said. “And, of course, it’s all about music and food!”
RELATED POST:See Who Carrie Underwood Thanked in a Heartfelt Post after the Explosion Nashville
Although Carrie, whose latest album, the festive “My Gift”, features a collaboration with Isaiah, doesn’t know how much time they will get to spend with their families this year because of the pandemic, she admitted the couple is determined to make sure it’s “a special time for Isaiah and Jacob.”
RELATED POST:Carrie Underwood Is Releasing A New Gospel Album Titled ‘My Savior’
Carrie previously revealed that her son Isaiah was very much involved in decorating their Christmas tree this year. “Our decorations started out as being very silver and gold… simple but not super colorful,” she told Taste of Country, “but Isaiah starts bringing home the things that they make at school, and (our Christmas decoration design scheme) all went out the window, in the best way.”
She added, “We have a ton of pictures of Isaiah on the tree. It’s basically the Isaiah tree, with two pictures of (youngest son) Jake thrown in there.” Giving her second son a similar chance to decorate the Christmas tree, she said, “I just ordered some new ornaments off of one of the picture apps, and they should be here any day now, so Jake can get on the tree as well.”
While admitting that it’s not “Pinterest-worthy,” the 37-year-old mother of two said, “It’s definitely got a lot of heart.”

RECORD: Darwin, C. R. 1863. Fertilisation of orchids. Journal of Horticulture and Cottage Gardener (31 March): 237.

FERTILISATION OF ORCHIDS.
HAD Mr. Anderson1 asked me two days ago for any facts illustrative of his case of unopened flowers of Cattleya crispa and Dendrobium cretaceum producing seed-capsules, I could have given no sort of information; nor can I now explain the fact. By an odd coincidence, yesterday I received a very interesting letter from Dr. Hermann Cruger,2 the Director of the Botanic Garden at Trinidad, who informs me that certain native species, and native species alone, of Cattleya, Epidendrum, and Schomburghkia, "are hardly ever known to open their flowers, but which nearly always set fruit." In answer to Dr. Cruger, I have asked him to look at the seed or send me some, and inform me whether it appears good.
Will Mr. Anderson have the kindness to send me a few seeds produced by his unopened flowers?
I further asked Dr. Cruger whether these Orchids in their native haunts never open their flowers. I can hardly believe that this can be the case, seeing how manifestly adapted the structure of their organs of fructification is to the action of insects. But it is known that several plants, such as Violets, Campanulas, Oxalis, &c., produce two kinds of flowers: one sort adapted for self-fertilisation, and the other sort for fertilisation by insect agency or other means. In some cases the two kinds of flowers differ very little in structure; and it occurs to me as possible that something of this kind may occur with Orchids.
Dr. Cruger further informs me that with certain Orchids, as in those which do not open their flowers, the pollen-masses after a time become pulpy; and though remaining still in situ, emit their pollen-tubes, which reach the stigma, and thus cause fertilisation.
An excellent observer, Mr. J. Scott,3 of the Royal Botanic Gardens of Edinburgh, will, I am sure, permit me to state that he has been making similar observations, and has seen the pollen-tubes emitted from the pollen-masses whilst still in their proper positions.
These facts were all unknown to me when I published my small work on the Fertilisation of Orchids; but I ought, perhaps, to have anticipated their occurrence, for I saw the pollen-tubes emitted from the pollen within the anthers in the Bird's-nest Orchid, and likewise in monstrous flowers of the Man Orchis. This latter fact seems related to Mr. Anderson's remark, that flowers of an imperfect character, wanting a petal or sepal, had a great tendency to produce seed-capsules.4
These curious observations by Dr. Cruger, Mr. Anderson, and Mr. Scott, convince me that I have in my work underrated the power of tropical Orchids occasionally to produce seed without the aid of insects; but I am not shaken in my belief that their structure is mainly related to insect agency. With most British Orchids this conclusion may be looked on as established.
I will only add that since the publication of my work, a number of persons have set seed-capsules with various tropical Orchids.

Request for change of (soon to be) broken links to LPSN[]
The old LPSN website at http://www.bacterio.net is frequently linked to from Wikipedia. Many of these links target LPSN entries for species. Because all species belong to a genus and because LPSN uses one HTML page per genus name, links to LPSN species names are links to anchors within an LPSN page for the according genus name. For instance, on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetobacter_aceti we find the link http://www.bacterio.net/acetobacter.html#aceti to the old LPSN page.
As part of an agreement between the old LPSN maintainer, Aidan C. Parte, and the Leibniz Institute DSMZ, LPSN has been taken over by DSMZ to ensure long-term maintenance (see also announcement here). In the course of this takeover, a new website was created. In contrast to the old LPSN website, the new LPSN website at https://lpsn.dsmz.de (currently https://lpsn-dev.dsmz.de) uses individual pages for species names. We will employ the following mapping:
(1) the domain http://www.bacterio.net is permanently redirected to https://lpsn.dsmz.de;
(2) the page address acetobacter.html is mapped to genus/acetobacter, which is the page for the genus Acetobacter on the new LPSN website.
This means, however, that http://www.bacterio.net/acetobacter.html#aceti is mapped to https://lpsn.dsmz.de/genus/acetobacter and not to https://lpsn.dsmz.de/species/acetobacter-aceti, which is the page for the species on the new LPSN website, as it should be. The reason for this limitation is that the anchor aceti is not even transferred by the browser and thus cannot be processed by the website. While links on https://lpsn.dsmz.de/genus/acetobacter are present that lead to https://lpsn.dsmz.de/species/acetobacter-aceti, it would be more convenient for the user if http://www.bacterio.net/acetobacter.html#aceti was transferred to a link that leads directly to https://lpsn.dsmz.de/species/acetobacter-aceti.
As LPSN URLs are stored in Wikidata (LPSN), this change should be doable task with the help of a bot. Therefore we are kindly asking for help to accordingly modify all Wikipedia links to LPSN species pages as described above.

Will someone please either review this draft or decide that it isn't worth reviewing until it has links to existing articles? It has no links to other articles, including the taxa to which the genus belongs, and the taxa that it is said to be a parasite of. In view of the history, I can't be sure whether it was invented, or whether it is simply a genus of multiply incertae sedis that belongs to an anarchic taxonomic barony nullii regni. Thank you.

@Ajpolino: I changed the taxonomy template for Coccidiniales following the algaebase reference you used, which gives Syndiniophyceae (Syndinea) as the parent. This is consistent with Oakes et al (2012) which placed Euduboscquellidae in class Syndiniophyceae and subphylum Syndinea, although they used order Syndiniales. I think using algaebase for the whole sequence is probably the best solution. — Jts1882 | talk 16:26, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Possible discrepancy with the pages for Chryseobacterium species[]
Hi there, I just wanted to bring up something I saw on the individual pages for the various Chryseobacterium species (Chryseobacterium#Species). On the page for the genus Chryseobacterium, the phylum is listed as Bacteroidetes, however on the individual species pages(the article on Chryseobacterium marinum as an example), the phylum is listed as Proteobacteria. What is the correct phylum? Cheers Abstrakt (talk) 05:10, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
Ah good catch; they're all Bacteroidetes. It's correct at the intermediate taxa pages (e.g. Flavobacteriia). I'll fix the Chryseobacterium species pages. Thanks! Ajpolino (talk) 14:25, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
My word, there are a lot of Chryseobacterium species. Posting at Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Tasks for help. Ajpolino (talk) 14:53, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
If I'd noticed this thread earlier (before it was solved via AWB), I would've taken the opportunity to convert the manual taxoboxes to automatic taxoboxes. Chryseobacterium is already using an automatic taxobox, so the template required for the species has already been created.
Bacteria taxoboxes have a number of inconsistencies. "Bacteria" is given as a domain or a kingdom or both (and either Bacteria or Bacterium is linked). Proteobacteria classes are inconsistently displayed as e.g. Alpha Proteobacteria/Alphaproteobacteria. I'm sure there are cases where taxobox use an outdated classification. Keeping classification consistent is an advantage of automatic taxoboxes.
Most of Wikipedia's article on organisms use automatic taxoboxes. Bacteria use manual taxoboxes more than any other major group of organisms. I don't know if that is from lack of interest in making the s to change manual bacteria taxoboxes to automatic or any genuine objection to using automatic taxoboxes from bacteria-interested ors. Plantdrew (talk) 01:57, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
I think the poor uptake for bacteria articles is due to a combination of (1) very few ors working on bacteria articles, and (2) the vast majority of bacteria articles are created by a single or Daniel-Brown (who I now see has slowed down after creating thousands of bacteria articles over several years). DB's articles follow a rough template that includes a manual taxobox. If anyone is interested in undertaking an effort to change taxoboxes over to automatic, I'm all in favor and would help out wherever I can. In this case, if I'd have thought about it, I would've requested the AWBer to swap to automatic boxes instead. So mea culpa there. Ajpolino (talk) 15:04, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
A link to a DAB page[]
In Aspergillus wentii, there's a mention of "sterile hyphae", in which the link redirects to the DAB page sterility. It's been flagged as {{disambiguation needed}} since January 2019. None of the entries on the DAB page looks relevant; can any expert help solve this puzzle? Narky Blert (talk) 15:37, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
Coccobacillus[]
Any idea why the stub article Coccobacillus is getting over 200 pageviews per day? Is there perhaps a genus named Coccobacillus? Abductive (reasoning) 04:57, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
Huh, not that I can find. Pardon my technical ignorance, is there any way to see where the views are coming from? Perhaps there's a poorly disambiguated link that leads to coccobacillus that should lead elsewhere? Special:WhatLinksHere/Coccobacillus - it is linked from more pages than I had expected... Ajpolino (talk) 15:20, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
Ah, a lot of those links are from the navbox {{Bacteria}}. I presume most of its views are not coming from readers uncollapsing that navbox and clicking the link. Any chance there's an easy way to remove those results from the Special:WhatLinksHere results? Ajpolino (talk) 15:23, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
The results are real pageviews. Note that there appears to be seasonal and weekly structure in the pageviews. Also, Coccobacillus appears to be a former genus: Coccobacillus pfeifferi. Abductive (reasoning) 23:28, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
The seasonality corresponds to (Northern Hemisphere) winter and summer school breaks. I'm pretty sure the navbox is responsible for the page views. Diplococcus is also in the navbox and gets a number of pageviews that strikes me as unusually high. If you want to confirm the navbox is the culprit, just comment out the link in the navbox for a few days. I'm not a fan of navboxes in general, but the links in {{Bacteria}} don't seem very well thought out. The navbox could use an overhaul, and perhaps the bacterial shapes should not be included going forward (fringe cancer treatment Coley's toxins certainly doesn't belong in the navbox). Plantdrew (talk) 01:30, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

HLAR - wrong redirection[]
Hi there, There is a problem, kind of significant. When you try to search HLAR using Wikipedia you are instantly redirected to page of Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus, which is truly wrong. HLAR - high-level aminoglycoside resistance is not at all an equivalent to VRE. I'd be grateful for correcting this mistake. Sincerely, XYZ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:A317:E43D:3780:FC3D:AB3D:DAB6:B411 (talk) 19:51, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
This is not my area of expertise, but it seems that there are two medical terms for HLAR,[1][2][3] making this ripe for a disambiguation page that would then link to the appropriate topics:
High level aminoglycoside resistance
Human Leukocyte Common Antigen-Related Molecule
I am unclear as to what High level aminoglycoside resistance should redirect, but my guess would be the Drug resistance article. Peaceray (talk) 20:48, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Microbiology Spectrum Draft[]
Hi, I'm Geoff. I work for the American Society for Microbiology. As such, I have disclosed my Conflict of Interest here, as well as on my Talk page. Per Wikipedia policy for connected contributors, I will not make s directly to articles about ASM or its journals.
I am here today to ask if anyone is interested in reviewing a draft of an article about one of our journals, Microbiology Spectrum? If so, the draft can be found here. I understand that the article is shorter than usual, but I believe it qualifies under notability for academic journals because it is indexed by SCOPUS and Science Citation Index. Many of our journals already have entries on Wikipedia, and our goal here is to offer content that improves the encyclopedia by helping to fill a gap. I'm committed to following community guidelines, and am open to feedback.
Please feel free to reach out with comments and questions here or on my Talk page.
Thanks so much! Geoffhunt3 (talk) 22:04, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Clostridium difficile -> Clostridioides difficile[]
What's the plan for implementing this change of family and name? At first I thought just all the mentions of the old name had to be exchanged, but Template:Gram-positive firmicutes diseases e.g. had me stumped. With the emphasis on differentiation that template seems to build upon, I wondered how in everyday-scientific work the reclassification is handled. Is removing c.diff from lists in articles reasonable when the new family for lack of species is not mentioned or has no own article? --Murata (talk) 00:43, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Looking forward to a new genus category[]
People who have been watching for a while might (or might not) have noticed that I have organized literally thousands of species articles--bacteria, as well as plants and insects--in their categories. In the course of it, I've added hundreds (if not thousands) or "Sortkeys" to make the categories sort more usefully. I've just now seen an article on a brand new species of bacteria in the Myxococcus genus:
Myxococcus llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogochensis
At the moment, there are apparently only about eight species classified in the Myxococcus genus. Wikipedia has articles on two of them; that is one of them. I can't wait until they discover enough new species of Myxococcus to warrant my creating a category for the genus. I'll really enjoy putting in that Sortkey!

The Management Cockpit “War Room” at Iglo-Ola (Unilever Belgium): An Interview with Iglo-Ola’s Financial Controller Ghislain Malcorps
News categories: The New Economy Economics, Finance and Acounting, Performance Management and Controlling
by Juergen H. Daum1
The following article and interview is an extract from the book: Juergen H. Daum, Intangible Assets and Value Creation, John Wiley & Sons Ltd, Chichester/UK, 2003, p.348-357, (German edition: Jürgen H. Daum, Intangible Assets oder die Kunst, Mehrwert zu schaffen, Galileo-Press, Bonn/Germany, 2002, S. 387-397).
The Management Cockpit2 is first a concept for the ergonomic design of a management meeting room (see picture below), but also for the structuring of performance management meetings. It is intended to make management teams more productive by improving communication between team members and by focusing them on the strategic issues. The Management Cockpit, developed by neurologists, human intelligence scientists, and computer engineers in 1989 (see interview with it’s creator, Patrick M. Georges) is today in use in more than 50 European and American companies. Iglo-Ola (a Unilever company in Belgium) is one of them. In the following interview, Gishlain Malcrops, the former financial controller, who oversaw the implementation and introduction of the Management Cockpit at Iglo-Ola, explains what problem the Management Cockpit solved at Iglo-Ola and is sharing his experiences.
A Management Cockpit room to support efficient management team meetings
At the heart of the Management Cockpit is a measurement system of about 100 indicators and other critical unstructured business information that are depicted on the four walls of the Management Cockpit room through ergonomically design graphics. These graphs or visuals that present the measures are designed to meet especially the decision support needs of senior executives. During the meetings only those measures and graphs are visible, which are relevant for the actual discussion or decision to be made. This should motivate managers to take action, by presenting them during the meeting the strategic core indicators status and allowing them to understand relationships between the various underlying business processes and success factors represented by these indicators. The concept has been developed by Patrick M. Georges, a human intelligence scientist based in Brussels, and by his company N.E.T. Research.
The elements of the concept are the four walls with their logical views, the so called flight deck in one corner of this room that is powered by a six screen computer, and training and check lists that should help a management team to conduct more efficient team meetings and to make faster decisions. The Black Wall depicts the main key performance indicators/measures in six logical views covering all relevant management areas of the company. Each logical view is dedicated to one of the key areas that have to be monitored by the management team. It is oriented on the question and answer principle. Therefore a logical view always represents an answer to a question like: Are we in good shape concerning our financial performance? How are we performing on the market compared to the competition? How successful are we in satisfying and retaining customers and acquiring new ones? How efficient are we internally with our business processes? The answer is given through six frames for each logical view. Such a frame present each either a graph or a text information (see picture below).
Example for a logical view of the Management Cockpit
The other three walls present, each again through six logical views, answers and indicators to more detailed questions. The Red Wall presents information about the market and customers, the Blue Wall about internal processes and resources, and the White Wall about he status of important projects and strategic initiatives. So the structure is very much in line with the Balanced Scorecard concept.
Such a software enabled Management Cockpit allows also to provide each of the management team members with an access through his web based portal to the Management Cockpit data and information. They can use it to analyze the data and run simulations from their offices or from their homes in order to prepare for example for the next management meeting.
According to Patrick Georges’ concept, the Management Cockpit structure also reflects the structure of the management meetings held in it. The meeting starts with an investigation of the actual status by analyzing and discussing the information from the Black Wall. Moving on to the Blue and Red Wall will then deepen this discussion and analysis. Then the status of the most important projects and initiative will be analyzed and discussed on the basis of the White Wall. When the meeting is finished, the management team will have made all urgent decisions and will have focused on the really important topics.
So the Management Cockpit represents a useful concept to establish a common management information and communication basis in an enterprise through structured communication processes in and around management meetings, such as in the preparation or follow up phase.
Patrick Georges has supported so far the implementation and operation of a Management Cockpit room in more than 50 mainly European organizations. One of the first adopters was Iglo-Ola (Unilever Belgium), where Gislain Malcorps, the former Financial Controller promoted the installation of a Management Cockpit room.
The main purpose of the Management Cockpit to facilitate
effective management dialogs and to make management team meetings more productive
Interview with Ghislain Malcorps: Experiences in implementing and using the Management Cockpit at Iglo-Ola
Iglo-Ola (Unilever Belgium) is a subsidiary of the Unilever group. Turnover of Iglo-Ola was 6 bn BEF ($169 Mio) at the time of the interview and the company employed 300 people, of which 50% in the logistics area. It is operating only in Belgium and Luxembourg and is focused on Frozen Food and Ice cream. The Belgian operation is a pure marketing and sales organization and all products sold are imported from foreign sister companies. The company delivers directly to retailers. The two main functions to be managed at Iglo-Ola Belgium therefore are marketing and advertisement, and logistics.
I visited Ghislain Malcorps (see picture on the left), former Financial Controller of the company, and his company’s Management Cockpit room in November 1998, a few months after it went live. He played an important role in introducing this new concept in his organization and in bringing the Management Cockpit to live. He also served also as the so called ‘Cockpit Officer’. The following interview was conducted in spring 2000. In the meantime he has retired.
Juergen Daum: Mr. Malcorps, you had been one of the promoters of this innovative concept of the Management Cockpit in your organization and the responsible person for its implementation. The Management Cockpit Room at Iglo-Ola is now in use for more than two years and you gained a lot of experience in this time. Why did you and your management team implement such a corporate “war room”?
Ghislain Malcorps: Well, if we look back to the situation before we used the Management Cockpit, it can be characterized from a manager point of view as a situation, where we had an abundance of data but a lack of information and knowledge. There was a lot of data available in the company, but nobody knew exactly at which data he had to look at, what was really important. Often data was not linked to other data, it was difficult to retrieve and to interpret. The available management data did not met the needs of senior and middle management. It was not well prepared for them and not “digestible”. It contained many contradictions, many versions, too many figures and there was no visual representation. And very often, there was not enough focus on strategic issues and parameters. The daily experience of the executives and deciders of the company was a lack of knowledge and awareness of the company’s strategies and a lack of efficient executive communication about the strategies.
Juergen Daum: I can imagine, that this is a typical situation in many business organizations.
Ghislain Malcorps: You are probably right. But I assume that many managers and executives do not know how much better the management system and available management information and knowledge could be – simply because they have no comparison. In our case this came to our consciousness when we found out about the Management Cockpit and learned more about this innovate concept through it’s inventor Prof. Georges. The concept of a meeting room and communication tool where the board displays very openly the chosen strategies and which guarantees that everybody is informed, that the strategies and the business fundamentals are clear to and shared by everybody and that short term decisions are fully compatible with the long term strategies seemed to us to be the solution for our problem which we just identified to it’s full extent. Therefore the decision was made by our chairman and the management team to implement at Iglo-Ola such a Management Cockpit room.
Juergen Daum: The adoption of such a different management system in your company – different compared to the management system before, which consisted of the classical financial reports – represented probably a major challenge for everyone in management and in the finance department. How did you proceed in implementing the Management Cockpit room at Iglo-Ola?
Ghislain Malcorps: Yes, it really was a challenge. The Management Cockpit should serve as a unifying and strategy focusing interface between the Chairman and the Board and between the board and the extended board, which includes the managers responsible for the operations. Therefore the first task we had to solve was, to create a common understanding of the company’s mission and strategies.
Juergen Daum: Didn’t they exist before?
Ghislain Malcorps: Yes, they existed before. But the company’s mission and strategies had not been reviewed and re-discussed regularly like it was done with monthly financial reports. The reporting and management system used so far did not stimulate managers to discuss strategies. Therefore every manager and executive had his own understanding of the company’s mission and strategies and therefore his own priorities. It was one of the major goals of the Management Cockpit project to create common strategic priorities in the abundance of management information, to make sure that short term decisions are fully compatible with the long term strategies. For this, there needed to be first a coherent understanding of the company’s mission and then of this strategies within the company.
Juergen Daum: What exactly is the Management Cockpit and how does it look like at Iglo-Ola Belgium?
Ghislain Malcorps: The Management Cockpit is a decision center, where the management team meets on a regular basis to discuss business performance and strategies. It is also a strong communication tool: the board displays very openly the chosen strategies and the cockpit guarantees that everybody is informed. On its four walls, mission, critical success factors and key performance indicators are displayed in graphical form on panels. The Black Wall shows what is important for the company: certainly the trading profit or contribution and all key goals that reflect the strategies and the mission statement, like innovation, growth etc.. The Blue Wall describes the internal environment of the company, like productivity in some sensitive areas (logistics), cost contention, quality of staff etc.. The Red Wall describes the external environment of the company: customer and competitors watch, market shares, macro economic indicators, evolution of sensitive raw material prices etc.. The White Wall contains the broad action plan of the management team with its strategic thrusts and the 3 rolling milestones.
Juergen Daum: What are strategic thrusts?
Ghislain Malcorps: The strategic thrusts are the main strategies derivated from the companies mission statement. The summary of this main strategies is called “Broad Action Plan”. These thrusts are mostly action driven and are represented through one visual with a list of those thrusts at their respective status on the white wall. The other panels of the white wall are dedicated to human resources indicators and especially to all the “projects” which are intended to realize the strategies. The follow-up of the various projects was – according to our experiences at Iglo-Ola - a major role of the Cockpit.
Juergen Daum: Can you give us an example of such a project?
Ghislain Malcorps: An example for such a project and for such a visual at the White Wall of the Management Cockpit room is “More Value from SAP” – that is, create more value out of our SAP ERP implementation. The project is divided into several phases with a deadline for each of them. Among such projects, you also find acquisitions, mergers, larger investments, restructurings. On the visual you see one colored bullet that tells you whether the responsible is on track or not. Each project has of course a responsible whose variable pay is, generally speaking, linked to the realization in time of his project.
Juergen Daum: Those visuals you mentioned seem to play a key role in the concept of the Management Cockpit. How they are used at Iglo-Ola?
Ghislain Malcorps: Each wall is subdivided into so called logical views. Each logical view has a title and a question referring to the Broad Action Plan. The question is answered by the 6 visuals belonging to the logical view, some of them being linked to other visuals in the cockpit. The visual represents usually a single Key Performance Indicator (KPI), like in a scorecard, because the visual should be restricted to one single information: less is more. They are color coded: green, yellow and red make them very easy to read and to digest. There is a natural tendency, mainly in the beginning, to overload the visuals with explicative and quantitative information. In such “patchwork” cases, the visual losses its power and, sometimes, becomes completely ineffective.
Juergen Daum: Are there management responsibilities defined for each KPI / Visual ?
Ghislain Malcorps: Each visual and KPI has a sponsor, the director of the concerned department, and a data owner. The controller, who is the head of the management accounting department, me, is responsible for the documentation and the general management of the cockpit. After some experience, the need for a full documentation became very clear. We had to protect our know how and acquired experience, and, at the same time, to offer a documentation to every manager who has to understand the visuals. We decided to create a “Visual Guide Book” as soon as the whole cockpit was more or less stable.
Juergen Daum: What did you document?
Ghislain Malcorps: The documentation is composed off a description about the visual owner and data owner, definitions of the visuals with the complete formula and of a brief and full description how to read the visual, how to interpret the data and how often it is updated - the refresh frequency.
Juergen Daum: I can imagine, that this type of “Management Information” is exposed to structural and content changes much more often than traditional management reporting. How often does the content of the Management Cockpit change?
Ghislain Malcorps: Modifications or redefinitions of visuals are generally agreed during board meetings. The frequency of refreshing the visuals is mainly monthly; in some cases, it is every 2 month such as with the Nielsen indices, or quarterly or even yearly such as with the customer satisfaction survey. One major revamping is organized every year in December, after discussion of the detailed implementation plan for the next year.
Juergen Daum: Let us come back to the implementation phase of the Management Cockpit. You mentioned, that the first step consisted in the definition of the Mission Statement.
Ghislain Malcorps: Yes, the definition of the mission statement was the first step of the process and it was a crucial step because it gave the company a identification, a direction to follow which will be difficult to modify in the future. The question to answer was “Who are we?. What are our values? Our strength but also our weaknesses ? What’s our role in the company’s environment?”. But also “what are we wanting to be?”
Juergen Daum: How did you achieve to come up with a consistent mission statement which was agreed by all the managers? Did you have somebody who facilitated this process?
Ghislain Malcorps: Prof. Georges played the role of the facilitator in the creation of our Management Cockpit at Iglo-Ola. He had many discussions, first with each member of the board, which consisted of 6 people, thereafter, with the whole board. Group discussions were held at a lower level: the extended board, consisting of 20 people, who helped the board screening and finalizing the Mission Statement; it was also a kind of roll out of the Mission Statement to the second level of management.
Juergen Daum: What was the next step in the implementation process after you had finished the mission statement?
Ghislain Malcorps: The next step was now to derivate the main strategies from the mission statement. This was the already mentioned “Broad Action Plan” with a list of the 12 main strategic thrusts. Very important was, not to define only strategic thrust in general but to define on the time dimension, which strategic thrusts are important very short term within 3 months, mid term within 1 year and long term, that is later than 1 year. For this we defined 3 visuals on the White Wall of the Management Cockpit with the “rolling milestones”, where all the strategic thrusts had been listed with their status. To each strategy or strategic thrust we also assigned then targets like in the area of innovation, where we wanted that innovation represents 20% of our yearly turnover or in the area of overheads where we wanted to reduce the overheads every year by 0.5% on turnover, during 5 years.
Juergen Daum: Are this the KPI targets?
Ghislain Malcorps: No. This are the mere targets. To define, how targets are measured through KPI’s is another step in the implementation process. Very often, this step and the proceeding one are combined. To define KPIs and the related targets is also critical and often difficult, leading to long discussions, which you cannot avoid.
Juergen Daum: Can you give us an example, what has to be discussed here?
Ghislain Malcorps: For example if you want to measure innovation, you have to agree how you are going to measure it. One way could be, to count product launches. But then you have to agree if you count them since last year, or since last 12 month, or since the last 24 month. Even if you finish with this, another point has to be discussed explicitly: Do you accept that the past is so dominant in this innovation indicator or should it better include more data of the present or even future outlook ? And what about the launches which are not successful, the “flops” ?. Do we count them as well into the overall number ? And do we have to take into account the relative profitability of each innovation or is the turnover a sufficient indication?
Juergen Daum: I see. If you leave the usual common ground of financial figures where everyone can built on his knowledge from business school, you have to define for non-financial KPIs much more carefully what you measure and how...
Ghislain Malcorps: … and you have to take into account possible future developments of the underlying business or at least you have to react to such developments very quickly by adapting the calculation scheme of such indicators to avoid that indicators are suddenly becoming irrelevant and useless, without that managers and executives are taking notice of it immediately. That means: you need a very experienced active controller.
Juergen Daum: Can you please be more specific on this? Why should an indicator become suddenly useless or irrelevant if it has been selected with such a care?
Ghislain Malcorps: I will give you an example: To measure and manage overheads, you have to compare it with another indicator. Absolute overheads do not tell you very much if overheads are to high or not. For example, you can measure overheads as a % of turnover. This is in line with common sense. Usually everyone would agree, that this is a good comparison, because overheads would increase, if operations will grow. But the implicit assumption behind this measure is, that there is every time a relation between level of operations and turnover. If you are not aware that this is an assumption and not a natural law, the result could be, that management is still using and relying on an indicator, which has become irrelevant if not wrong. What if exploding fish prices due to the shortage of fish catches should boost our frozen fish turnover? If you do not care for this beforehand, for example by “neutralizing” such effects during the calculation of the indicator, this would account as positive performance for the relevant manager. Another external factor, which has to be taken into account if you want to measure turnover targets is inflation. You have to agree within the management team, if you don’t care or if such effects have to be neutralized. All these questions are important and have to be treated as such, in order to build an efficient tool and to make it credible to the users.
Juergen Daum: Running through all this discussions, indicator per indicator seems to be very important in order that the Management Cockpit is as useful as possible in the future. But do you not risk that people are loosing the overview?
Ghislain Malcorps: This is the reason why the next step in the process is the so called “certification phase”. After having had discussions on the Performance Indicators, we had a certification phase: it consists of a mapping between all the statements of the initial Mission Statement and the list of indicators. Here we discussed questions like: Does every strategic statement have its performance indicators; how many? Enough? Not too much ? Does every indicator fit a strategic statement ? If not, should we revise the strategic statement or, at the contrary, drop the indicator ? With this “alignment” we make sure, not to loose strategic track be stepping down into operative indicator discussion and on the other hand to make sure, that every strategic objective is measured in the day to day business.
Juergen Daum: But to define the measures, calculations and possible adjustments is not all. A very important element of the Management Cockpit concept is the visualization of those indicators on the wall panels.
Ghislain Malcorps: Yes, and this is the last step of the process, to choose the most appropriate visual for each indicator. Here too, we had long discussions, because it was the first time that we were confronted to the new displays, the traffic lights etc… These discussions were also part of the learning process. During this step, you have not only to choose the appropriate visual, but you have also to define the frequency of updating, the visual owner etc…
Juergen Daum: What are your conclusions and the summary of your experiences after passing through this process?
Ghislain Malcorps: As you can see, it’s not just putting some nice visuals to display the status of some accidentally selected KPI’s. This is real work and it will take some time. The Cockpit Room is only the visible pit of the iceberg. Do not forget the previous steps, the discussions, the research made on several subjects, the choices that were made and the priorities that were put. All that is in fact a first positive result of the cockpit, before even having started the cockpit itself. Even if you should stop the cockpit at that stage, in any case, your management tools would be much better than before. Note that the Cockpit room is the visible pit of the iceberg. The conditions of success of the cockpit are in fact included in the implementation steps.
Juergen Daum: How long does it take in total to implement a Management Cockpit?
Ghislain Malcorps: In our case we had to manage some extraordinary hurdles with the result, that we needed additional time. For example, the whole board of our company was replaced during the time of implementation – 5 people had been promoted, one retired. The software we used and struggled with at the beginning caused another problem. At this time, there was not yet SAP’s Strategic Enterprise Management software available, which now includes standard Management Cockpit software. We had to create our own application using MS Excel. In more normal circumstances, the duration of the process will be about nine months in order to create about 100 stable visuals, which is the usual number for a complete cockpit. But as you typically start with the most important ones on the “Black Wall”, it is possible to use the Cockpit in a prototype version earlier. This is also helpful to gain some experiences, which can be incorporated into the final version.
Juergen Daum: How is the Management Cockpit Room used at Iglo-Ola Belgium ?
Ghislain Malcorps: The Cockpit is used for the board meetings, the extended board meetings and the departmental staff meetings. Each board meeting starts with a 2 hour “walk” through the visuals and indicators with a clear focus on the visuals presenting a red or orange traffic light. So the key issues are identified, the “reasons why” are immediately discussed and everybody is immediately informed about problems, the proposed solutions and the actions taken. An important point is, that there are no longer discussions about the accuracy of the figures. Because figures are translated into meaningful visuals which compare for example actuals with targets and concentrate on the visualization of the variance, the focus is not on the underlying figures but on the situation itself, on the “hot points”, where corrective action have to be taken in the business itself.
Of course, we have to guarantee a high degree of quality and accuracy of the data behind the visuals, otherwise the cockpit would become incredible. Here is an obvious responsibility of the controller and “cockpit officer”. The Management Cockpit has become the only place in the company, where all the strategies are written, are visible and where they will be adapted if necessary. Here everybody can also see the rate of success of these strategies. So the Management Cockpit is at the same time the brain of the company with its strategies in it and the muscle of the company where actions are defined, to reach strategic goals or adapt strategies themselves.
Juergen Daum: What happened with the management reporting which was used before ? Does it still exist or was it replaced by the Management Cockpit?
Ghislain Malcorps: We thought that the existence of the Cockpit would reduce the amount of paper reporting – that is our classical monthly financial reports. In fact, the reduction, if any, was very limited, around let’s say 2%. The reason is, that the Cockpit is a strategic tool that replaces nothing; it’s additional to the classical reporting and is needed by legal and fiscal authorities, budget controlling and reporting to the headquarter. Nevertheless the Cockpit gives strategic weighting to these reports and so, helps to structure them or eliminate them at least partly.
Juergen Daum: What are, according to your experiences, the critical success factors for the implementation and for the use of a Management Cockpit? What would you recommend to other companies that want to implement it?
Ghislain Malcorps: First, you need full support of the chairman and of the board members and the Cockpit has to be perceived as the main management tool, that makes strategies clear to everyone. Also discipline, with respect to the updating deadlines, is critical and patience during the implementation phase. And do not underestimate the amount of necessary resources needed to set up a Cockpit and to operate it. Also think about how to buy in other people in the organization in order to tie them into the strategy system of the company.
Juergen Daum: If I would ask you for a summary about your experiences with the Management Cockpit, what is your answer?
Ghislain Malcorps: The Management Cockpit is an excellent tool to create strategic focus in a company and enable the management team to much better concentrate on strategic issues in the day-to-day business. It is also an excellent tool to capture and retain management know how in the organization. The changes in our board during implementation have shown, that it makes eventual higher rotations of the board member, which is very usual in multinational organization, much easier. The reason is, that it captures and stores the experiences and management knowledge of the past and is offering an “intelligent” and efficient documentation for the new incomers.
Juergen Daum: Mr. Malcorps, thank you very much for this very interesting interview.

“Fixed budgets don’t work today. A budget is a too static instrument and locks managers into the past - into something they thought last year that it was right. To be effective in a global economy with rapidly shifting market conditions and quick and nimble competitors, organization have to be able to adapt constantly their priorities and have to put their resources where they can create most value for customers and shareholders. In order to do that, they need the right concepts, management processes and tools – concepts such as the Beyond Budgeting Management Model. The introduction of new management instruments such as the Balanced Scorecard, which help to better align the entire organization with corporate strategic objectives and to focus it on the essentials, has created the right foundation. Because if corporate strategy and the objectives are clear for all people in an organization, one can principally react faster to changing market conditions. But then the fixed budget comes into their way and prevents them from really doing the right things. Though what is often missing is a more flexible operational planning and control model. The Beyond Budgeting model wants to fill exactly this gap.”

Has the owner of the site agreed to have it designated as an IEEE Milestone? No
Year or range of years in which the achievement occurred:
Title of the proposed milestone:
Space Shuttle Training Avionics and Controls, 1976
Plaque citation summarizing the achievement and its significance:
In 1976, NASA’s first Shuttle Training Aircraft was built by Grumman Aerospace Corporation and Sperry Flight Systems. A Sperry 1819B flight control computer and modified control surfaces gave the aircraft the approach profile and handling characteristics of a Space Shuttle. Each Shuttle pilot performed at least 1000 airborne simulations before landing a Shuttle. After 12,000 flight hours, N946NA retired at the Texas Air and Space Museum in Amarillo.
In what IEEE section(s) does it reside?
Region 6 - Phoenix AZ
IEEE Organizational Unit(s) which have agreed to sponsor the Milestone:
IEEE Organizational Unit(s) paying for milestone plaque(s):
IEEE Organizational Unit(s) arranging the dedication ceremony:
IEEE section(s) monitoring the plaque(s):

Details of the plaque mounting:
TBD - Based on selection of site.
How is the site protected/secured, and in what ways is it accessible to the public?
Who is the present owner of the site(s)?
What is the historical significance of the work (its technological, scientific, or social importance)?
The Space Shuttle program and vehicle grew out of NASA's 1969 Space Transportation System (STS) which was charged with producing a low-earth orbit reusable spacecraft. The concept, and reality, of a highly reusable transportation and supply vehicle were magnitudes more complex than any previous space craft program. That included a controlled dead-stick landing on conventional runways, but at much steeper approach angles and much higher speeds than conventional aircraft. The Shuttle Training Aircraft was the vehicle that needed to train the astronauts for actual shuttle landings. A high degree of fidelity in the ability of the STA to give the astronauts a realistic sense of shuttle landings was paramount. (ref. 3)
What obstacles (technical, political, geographic) needed to be overcome?
Compared to the crew capsules of prior manned space missions, the shuttle was a completely different bird. It was very large and designed for reuse with minimal rework between missions. On re-entry, dropped out of the sky like a brick with short wings. Go-arounds or correcting for short-fall approaches to the runway were not an option. (ref 2) The potential and kinetic energy within the terminal area, had to be accurately computed, closely monitored, and managed (Terminal Area Energy Management - TAEM). In the TAEM phase, a closed loop, computer controlled landing approach took the shuttle to a point where the pilot took control to complete the landing and roll-out. The STA was critical for developing these new skills in a shuttle commander prior to their landing the actual shuttle. Each commander had to complete hundreds of simulated landings in an STA before landing an actual Shuttle. (refs 3,4)
What features set this work apart from similar achievements?
In earlier advancements of powered aircraft, conventional or experimental, the differences in aircraft behavior were incremental, not monumental. Most any pilot with sufficient flight hours could transition to a different aircraft with minimal instruction and hours. The shuttle, and, hence the Shuttle Training Aircraft, would require pilot skills well beyond any those required for the T-38 Talon that was the standard for maintaining flying skills of the astronauts. Earlier considerations for the STA included the Boeing 737. It met all the requirements for performance in the demanding approach and landing phase, but was deemed too expensive. The Grumman Gulfstream II was chosen instead, amid concerns for the GII's ability to withstand the forces that would result from shuttle emulation.
Supporting texts and citations to establish the dates, location, and importance of the achievement: Minimum of five (5), but as many as needed to support the milestone, such as patents, contemporary newspaper articles, journal articles, or chapters in scholarly books. 'Scholarly' is defined as peer-reviewed, with references, and published. You must supply the texts or excerpts themselves, not just the references. At least one of the references must be from a scholarly book or journal article. All supporting materials must be in English, or accompanied by an English translation.
http://nasa.wikia.com/wiki/Shuttle_Training_Aircraft The Shuttle Training Aircraft (STA) was a NASA training vehicle that duplicated the Space Shuttle's approach profile and handling qualities, allowing Space Shuttle pilots to simulate Shuttle landings under controlled conditions before attempting the task on board the orbiter.
The original Flight control system was a Sperry Flight Systems 1819B with all of the associated peripheral ATR boxes that became all too familiar.
The STA was particularly critical for Shuttle pilots in training because the Orbiter lacked atmospheric engines that would allow the craft to "go around" after a poor approach. After re-entry, the Shuttle was a very heavy glider (it was sometimes referred to as a 'flying brick') and as such had only one chance to land.
Supporting materials (supported formats: GIF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, DOC): All supporting materials must be in English, or if not in English, accompanied by an English translation. You must supply the texts or excerpts themselves, not just the references. For documents that are copyright-encumbered, or which you do not have rights to post, email the documents themselves to ieee-history@ieee.org. Please see the Milestone Program Guidelines for more information.
Please email a jpeg or PDF a letter in English, or with English translation, from the site owner(s) giving permission to place IEEE milestone plaque on the property, and a letter (or forwarded email) from the appropriate Section Chair supporting the Milestone application to ieee-history@ieee.org with the subject line "Attention: Milestone Administrator." Note that there are multiple texts of the letter depending on whether an IEEE organizational unit other than the section will be paying for the plaque(s).

Sachin: A Billion Dreams Movie Review
Posted 2017/07/03 135 0
WATCH FULL MOVIE- CLICK HERE
Rating: 4/5 Stars (Four stars)
Star Cast: Sachin Tendulkar
Director: James Erskine
What’s Good: Sachin Tendulkar’s journey in this film looks so real that you even have moments like ‘Aila, Sachin bhi aise karta hai.’ It not only celebrates the personality that he is but also Indian Cricket in all its glory.
What’s Bad: Strangely, the film may not come across as a uninteresting affair for those who are not Cricket fans but their idea of it being a feature film certainly doesn’t come true here. The docu-drama with Sachin himself narrating may not appeal to everyone.
Loo Break: Not unless Sachin Tendulkar is waiting outside that audi!
Watch or Not?: If you are waiting for the reviews to come out, I bet you aren’t true Sachin fans. It is a must-watch for all those who worship the game, worship the man and this is your chance to meet your God up, close and personal.
Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is a name that has been etched in our heads as being the ‘God of Cricket’. While many may call him gifted, it is in this film, you truly see his inspiring journey and the fact that nothing comes easy without hardships.
The film chronicles his journey from being a notorious child, to his brother Ajit Tendulkar recognizing his talent and recommending him to Coach Ramakant Achrekar to train him in the game.
Being a dedicated player, a young Sachin made it to the newspapers along with co-player Vinod Kambli for making a world record of 664-run partnership, playing for Shardashram Vidya Mandir against St. Xavier’s in Harris Shield on February 24, 1988. And from there, the legendary journey began.
Sachin A Billion Dreams Review: Script Analysis
What people mostly perceive biopics to be is inspiring stories that is a tell all on the personality. Although, the Sachin biopic is more like an experience or I’d say in my case, as a 90s child, a run down the memory lane with the chance to relive some of the greatest matches of all time, to watch and gloat over India’s finest winning moments in a timeline that ends with the dream come true world cup dream. As we watch Sachin narrate about his dream to lift the World Cup, we can’t help but realize this is one dream we have all lived with him.
The film takes off with Sachin’s most precious moments when his daughter Sara was born. The Cricketer who may have taken a ton of perfect catches, is nervous as hell, holding his little one and in that moment is like any other newly turned father, who is scared to carry the little one around.
Later, we see a dramatized version of his childhood where we see how the suburban lad became Cricketing world’s biggest sensation.
While we see Sachin’s journey going upwards, the makers keep giving us the background of the Indian setting and basically paint a picture of how at the meekest of times, people have turned to this sport to become their source of happiness. Truly, how, Cricket became India’s prime religion.
As a Sachin fan, you’ll be delighted to know some little trivia about the legend like his favorite song of all time or how when under pressure, he would listen to one song on loop for an entire day. There’s also the sense of pride one derives when International players like Ricky Ponting talk about how Sachin was one hell of an inspiration to them or when Wasim Akram shares his first impression of a teenage Sachin taking on the field.
A Bollywoodish twist comes in the part where we see Sachin’s love story with wife Anjali. While some may find it a tad boring, it luckily does not take much of your time.
Coming to the Cricket timeline, while Sachin addresses his captaincy stint and also the shame of spot fixing scandal, he has nothing to say about playing under captains like Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and M. S Dhoni. Even the Greg Chapell phase is slightly rushed in the film.
Sachin A Billion Dreams Review: Star Performance
Sachin Tendulkar’s narration may seem slightly weird but then again he’s not an actor to be all comfortable with it. The voiceovers by Harsha Bhogle, Boria Majumdar, Gideon Haigh, all three who have been sport reporters for decades work well for the film.
Popular players like Virat Kohli, M S Dhoni, Virender Sehwag, Ricky Ponting, Shane Warne, Brian Lara, Wasim Akram contribute to the film with their brilliant quotes.
Sachin A Billion Dreams Review: Direction, Music
I expect a lot of people to question why it took an Englishman to come up with a biopic on Sachin Tendulkar and after having watched the film, I’d say, it’s not about being an Indian or a westerner, it’s taming the fandom of this sport and the legend in a taut screenplay that was required and that’s what we get. James Erskine gives us the perfect film that if not for just Sachin fans, has a lot to offer on the Cricket front too.
The film was like one big rollercoaster ride for me from being overjoyed at watching the iconic 1996 world cup moment of Venkatesh Prasad and Aamir Sohail’s famed exchange on field to Sachin being hit on the nose by Waqar Younis’ terrible bouncer.
Erskine even made sure to entertain us by adding in a few dressing room videos of Sachin celebrating his 99th international century. Wasn’t that the dream, to get a glimpse of a what’s the mood in the dressing room like?
Some of Sachin’s home videos, such as his wedding video, play time with his kids also make their way here and that keeps reminding us of his strictly simple personality. His middle-class background has been a key contributor in shaping his personality and particularly that’s where the modesty comes from.
Emotionally, it’s hard not to tear up when Erskine takes you through Sachin’s toughest time on field, during the 1999 World Cup when he lost his father. In spite of the personal loss, the player in him didn’t back out and he scored a 140 not out against Kenya, thus dedicating his century to his late father. Also, keep your tissues handy when you once again see Sachin’s retirement speech on screen.
A R Rahman’s musical score is thumping and keeps the film’s pace up. The Sachin anthem is reverberating and one of the best moments is Rahman’s Vande Mataram being played to the iconic 2011 World Cup win post Dhoni’s winning sixer.
Sachin A Billion Dreams Review: The Last Word

Covered Chiefs for 20 seasons for Kansas City Star
Joined ESPN in 2013
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Much has gone wrong for the Kansas City Chiefs during this unexpected 2021 NFL season. After a 27-3 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday dropped them to 3-4, their chances for a fourth straight trip to the AFC Championship Game or a third straight berth in the Super Bowl appear remote.
What's happened? Here are some of the things that are ailing the Chiefs:
It's not business as usual for quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes has at least one turnover in each of the past six games and multiple turnovers in each of the past three. Some of his interceptions have come on passes deflected by a Chiefs receiver, but Mahomes is hardly blameless. He's tried to force passes into coverage and has thrown interceptions instead of merely trying to avoid a sack. Mahomes said after a game against the Buffalo Bills two weeks ago that he would reevaluate his decision-making process in light of the turnovers. If he has, it hasn't shown. Against the Titans on Sunday, he posted a 6.1 QBR, by far the lowest of his career. His previous low was a 37.4 in Week 7 last season against the Broncos. Is this fixable? Mahomes entered the season with a touchdown-to-interception ratio of almost 5-to-1. He hasn't been turnover-prone during his career, so he is capable of being more secure with the ball. He has to quit forcing throws, something he might not do given how quickly the Chiefs' defense gives up points, though.

The Chiefs have a talent shortage on defense: Since rebuilding their defense following the 2018 season, the Chiefs have invested mainly in offensive players. Their first-round draft pick in 2020 was a running back, Clyde Edwards-Helaire. They traded their 2021 first-round pick for an offensive tackle, Orlando Brown. Their big-money free-agent signing this year was a guard, Joe Thuney. In all, between the draft, a trade and free agency, the Chiefs acquired six offensive linemen and left the defense mostly intact. The Chiefs have just two former first-round draft picks on defense, neither one drafted by Kansas City. Those players, cornerbacks Mike Hughes and DeAndre Baker, were discarded by their former teams for little or no return. Three recent defensive picks in the top three rounds, defensive linemen Breeland Speaks and Khalen Saunders and linebacker Dorian O'Daniel, haven't been worth the investment. Is this fixable? Not this year. The Chiefs will have to ride with what they have.
Their pass rush has been punchless: The Chiefs have invested heavily in one area on defense in recent years, and that's on the defensive line, where Chris Jones and Frank Clark play. But both have been limited this season by injuries and aren't producing when they do play. Jones missed two games and hasn't had a sack since getting two in the season opener. Clark missed three games and doesn't yet have a sack. The Chiefs had one sack against the Titans. They had seven entering the game, their fewest through six games since 2011. They were 28th in ESPN's Pass Rush Win Rate, beating their blocks within 2.5 seconds just 34% of the time. Is this fixable? With Jones, Clark and other complementary players, the Chiefs should pressure the quarterback far better than they do. But if it hasn't happened through seven games, it's unlikely it will happen this season.

The offensive line investment hasn't consistently paid off: The Chiefs have mostly protected Mahomes better than they did against the Titans. But the Tennessee game was a bad one. Tennessee blitzed just once in 44 dropbacks, but he was still pressured 18 times. Opponents have blitzed Mahomes just 13% of the time this season but pressured him on 35% of his attempts. Brown, who played mostly right tackle before being traded to the Chiefs by the Baltimore Ravens, is trying to establish himself as a left tackle. He's had moments when he's played well, but he played poorly against the Titans. Is this fixable? The Chiefs, who start two rookies and two other linemen who weren't with the team last year, should get better as the season goes along.
So, can the Chiefs make the postseason? The Chiefs, at 3-4 but with five divisional games remaining, are still a part of the AFC West race. The problem for them, as it's been all season, is not their record or divisional standing but the way they're playing. They could get into the playoffs, but they won't without making some major improvements in these areas and others.
The Chiefs have played a rugged schedule. Five of their seven opponents are strong playoff contenders.
But things don't get much better in that regard. Three of their next four opponents -- the Packers, Raiders and Cowboys -- are in first place in their respective divisions.
It's up to the Chiefs to fix the problem. They've shown little in the first seven games to suggest that will happen.
