Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The Rethink Priorities Existential Security Team's Strategy for 2023, published by Ben Snodin on May 8, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. The Rethink Priorities Existential Security Team's Strategy for 2023 Summary This post contains a moderately rough, high-level description of the Rethink Priorities Existential Security team's (XST's) strategy for the period April-October 2023. XST is a team of researchers focused on improving the world according to a longtermist outlook through research and other projects, and is part of Rethink Priorities (RP). Note that until very recently we were called the General Longtermism team (GLT). We have now renamed ourselves the Existential Security team (XST), which is slightly more descriptive and more closely reflects our focus on reducing existential risk. XST's three focus areas for 2023 will be: Longtermist entrepreneurship (65%): Making highly impactful longtermist projects happen by finding and developing ideas for highly promising longtermist projects, identifying potential founders, and supporting them as they get these projects started. Our main activities will be: Identifying and detailing the most promising ideas for longtermist projects, with a goal of having ~5 detailed project ideas by the end of June, that we can bring to a potential meeting of talented entrepreneurs in July/August, organized by Mike McCormick. A relatively brief founder-first-style founder search (looking for highly promising founders and finding projects that they are an especially good fit for). Exploring founder-in-residence MVPs (hiring potential founders and giving them space to develop their own ideas for promising projects). Supporting founders once they're identified. Strategic clarity research (25%): Research that helps shed light on high-level strategic questions relevant for the EA community and for people working on reducing existential risk. This year, we plan to focus on high-level EA movement-building strategy questions (such as “What kind of EA movement do we want?” or “What's the optimal portfolio among priority cause areas we should aim at building?”), and possibly on high-level questions that seem important for assessing whether and how to help launch entrepreneurial projects. Most of our work on this will happen in the second half of the year. Flexible time for high-impact opportunities (10%): Time allocated for i) team members working on projects that they are very keen on and ii) highly impactful and time-sensitive projects that arise due to changes in external circumstances. Concrete outputs we'll aim for: 5 project idea memos by the end of June that are of a standard equal to or better than the 2023 Q1 megaproject speedruns that we posted on the EA Forum in February. 1 strategic clarity research output by the end of October. 1 new promising project launched by the end of October. 11 publicly shared research or project idea outputs by the end of the year. From mid-May onwards, we're planning to have 4 FTE executing this strategy: me (Ben), Marie, Jam, and Renan. Linch is pursuing a separate research agenda related to longtermist strategic clarity. The high-level timeline is: [completed] March: The team winds down current projects and begins work on executing the team strategy from the start of April. [in progress] April-July: The team focuses on the entrepreneurship program, and works on founder-first activities, founder support, and project research. The project research is focused on generating a new prioritization model and shallow project ranking by the end of April, and 5 project ideas memos by the end of June for a potential meeting of promising entrepreneurs in July/August. August-October: Jam and Ben continue working on the entrepreneurship program, while Marie and Renan switch to strategic clarity research. Start o...
Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Legal Priorities Project – Annual Report 2022, published by Legal Priorities Project on May 2, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary Note: A private version of this report with additional confidential updates has been shared with a few major donors and close collaborators. If you fall into this category and would like to access the extended version, please get in touch with us at hello@legalpriorities.org. This report presents a review of the Legal Priorities Project's work in 2022, including key successes, statistics, bottlenecks, and issues. We also offer a short overview of our priorities for 2023 and briefly describe our methodology for updating our priorities. You can learn more about how to support our work at the end of the report. A PDF version of this report is available here. In 2022: Our research output per FTE was high to very high: With only 3.6 FTE researchers, we had 7 peer-reviewed papers (2 journal articles and 5 book chapters) accepted for publication, 3 papers currently under review, and one book under contract with Oxford University Press. We also added 7 papers to our Working Paper Series (for a total of 18), published a new chapter of our research agenda, and published 6 shorter pieces in online forums. We also spent significant time on reports aimed at informing our prioritization on artificial intelligence and biosecurity in particular (which we plan to publish in Q2 of 2023) and ran a writing competition on “Improving Cost-Benefit Analysis to Account for Existential and Catastrophic Risks” with a judging panel composed of eminent figures in law. Based on our experience, our research output was much higher than typical legal academic research groups of similar size. Beyond academic research, we analyzed ongoing policy efforts, and our research received positive feedback from policymakers. Relevant feedback and discussions provided valuable insight into what research would support decision-making and favorable outcomes, which we believe improved our prioritization. We experimented with running several events targeting different audiences and received hundreds of applications from students and academics at top institutions worldwide. Some participants have already reported significant updates to their plans as a result. Feedback on our events was overwhelmingly positive, and we gained valuable information about the different types of programs and their effectiveness, which will inform future events. Team morale remained high, including during stressful developments, and our operations ran smoothly. In 2023: Our research will increasingly focus on reducing specific types of existential risk based on concrete risk scenarios, shifting more focus toward AI risk. While this shift started in 2022, AI risk will become more central to our research in 2023. We will publish an update to our research agenda and theory of change accordingly. We will continue to publish research of various types. However, we will significantly increase our focus on non-academic publications, such as policy/technical reports and blog posts, in order to make our work more accessible to policymakers and a wider audience. As part of this strategy, we will also launch a blog featuring shorter pieces by LPP staff and invited researchers. We would like to run at least one, but ideally two, flagship field-building programs: The Legal Priorities Summer Institute and the Summer Research Fellowship. We will seek to raise at least $1.1m to maintain our current level of operations for another year. More optimistically, we aim to increase our team size by 1–3 additional FTE, ideally hiring a senior researcher with a background in US law to work on risks from advanced artificial intelligence.

Ooh, today's episode hits a sore spot. I am talking, in depth, about what happens when we make a request, when we build up the courage to admit that we are struggling and need help, and our request is met with an unemotional "no." If you know, you know. Maybe you asked to drop your FTE, or to change your template or for them to replace the MA who left 6 months ago. We're going to take a deep dive into why this situation feels so hard, and how you can shake it off and move forward.Healing Perfectionism in Women Physicians is now open for enrollment!

This is: AI Safety - 7 months of discussion in 17 minutes, published by Zoe Williams on March 15, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. In August 2022, I started making summaries of the top EA and LW forum posts each week. This post collates together the key trends I've seen in AI Safety discussions since then. Note a lot of good work is happening outside what's posted on these forums too! This post doesn't try to cover that work.

(see more) In October 2022, the US announced extensive restrictions on the export of AI-related products (eg. chips) to China. (see more) There has been progress on AI forecasting (quantitative and narrative) with the aim of allowing us to understand likely scenarios and prioritize between governance interventions. (see more) Interpretability research has seen substantial progress, including identifying the meaning of some neurons, eliciting what a model has truly learned / knows (for limited / specific cases), and circumventing features of models like superposition that can make this more difficult. (see more) There has been discussion on new potential methods for technical AI safety, including building AI tooling to assist alignment researchers without requiring agency, and building AIs which emulate human thought patterns. (see more) Outreach experimentation has found that AI researchers prefer arguments that are technical and written by ML researchers, and that greater engagement is seen in university groups with a technical over altruistic or philosophical focus.

durée : 01:28:30 - Les Nuits de France Culture - par : Albane Penaranda - "Les Lundis de l'histoire" proposent "La Rue entre la révolte et la fête" par Laure Adler en 1998 avec l'historienne Danielle Tartakowsky. L'émission donne la parole à des témoins comme Henri Krasucki et Lucie Aubrac et permet l'écoute d'archives comme celle du leader populiste Pierre Poujade. Dans notre système de démocratie représentative, l'exercice du pouvoir est situé géographiquement : il s'exerce depuis les couloirs des palais de la République, l'Elysée, Matignon, les ministères, et depuis les travées des deux chambres du Parlement. Mais il est un autre lieu de pouvoir non officiel que tous nos dirigeants ont en tête et qui s'impose d'ailleurs à la classe politique : cet espace est celui de la rue. La rue c'était le moyen de l'action directe, on voulait agir sur le pouvoir, tout de suite et maintenant Dans les lointaines origines de notre histoire républicaine la chose n'avait rien d'évident, on estimait alors que le suffrage universel, le vote, suffisait à exprimer seul les volontés du pays. Force fut bien de constater qu'il n'en était rien. C'est l'historienne Danielle Tartakowsky qui nous le rappelle au micro de Laure Adler : "la rue existe depuis longtemps pour les historiens, mais pour les historiens d'histoire politique c'est un phénomène relativement récent, des recherches se sont mises route dans les années 80 (...) on s'est mis à s'intéresser à une autre forme de politique qui est celle de la rue". L'historienne évoque la notion de rue au XIXème siècle : "De la rue des barricades de la moitié du siècle, on arrive pendant toute la fin du XIXème siècle jusqu'à la veille de 1914, à une rue plus pacifiée, à quelques chose qui se pense comme plus symbolique. Finalement jusqu'alors la rue c'était le moyen de l'action directe, on voulait agir sur le pouvoir, tout de suite et maintenant, il y avait un rapport d'immédiateté avec la cible, et progressivement se construit une forme d'action politique qui mobilise l'Histoire, qui mobilise le passé pour démontrer sa force et la capitaliser". Cette émission a été enregistrée à la fin des années 1990, Lionel Jospin était Premier ministre à l'occasion de la troisième cohabitation. Et le pays avait encore en mémoire les grandes grèves contre le plan Juppé trois ans plus tôt. Le contexte se prêtait bien à une grande rétrospective autour de la rue comme lieu d'expression politique. Cette rétrospective radiophonique démarre au XVIIIe siècle pré-révolutionnaire jusqu'aux grandes mobilisations sociales qui ont marqué le XXe siècle : Front populaire, Mai 68, mouvement féministe, et beaucoup d'autres. Des moments racontés par leurs acteurs : Henri Krasucki, Daniel Zimmermann, Lucie Aubrac. Le tour d'horizon est complet il permet d'aborder également les franges les plus conservatrices de la politique qui ont investi la rue pour exprimer leurs revendications, à travers notamment la voix de Pierre Poujade, le leader populiste des années 50.

Debbie Henney serves as director of curriculum for TFAS's high school programs, the Foundation for Teaching Economics (FTE). She is also an economics professor and the director of the honors program at Mesa Community College in Mesa, Arizona. For over 25 years, Debbie has been on the front lines teaching economics to both teachers and students of all ages. She holds a bachelor's degree in secondary education and economics and master's degree in curriculum design from Northern Arizona University. In this week's Liberty + Leadership Podcast, Roger and Debbie take an in-depth look into how economics is taught, discussing the power of experiential teaching in the classroom, how using the "economic way of thinking" helps us understand that the policy choices we make should result in the policy outcomes we want, and how sometimes economic teachers need a refresher on how to teach the subject. The Liberty + Leadership Podcast is hosted by TFAS President Roger Ream and produced by kglobal.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: EA Philippines' Progress in 2022 , published by Elmerei Cuevas on February 8, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. 2022 has been a productive year for EA Philippines. In this report, we would like to present our accomplishments and points for improvement for the duration of our 2022 EA Infrastructure Fund grant. We hope that through this report, we are able to inform the wider EA community about the progress and potential of EA Community Building in the Philippines. Parts I-VI are approximately a ~12 minute read. The appendix is approximately a ~16 minute read. I. Funding Received and Financial Summary In February 2022, EA PH received a total grant of $89,350 from the EA Infrastructure Fund, for 1 year of 2.32 FTE salary split across 5 to do community building work for EA Philippines + our student chapters. This was how we intended the grant to be split: Person / Budget ItemElmer CuevasFull-Time Community BuilderRed BermejoPart-Time Community BuilderBrian TanPart-Time Community BuilderJanai BarilPart-Time Communications & Events AssociateTanya QuijanoPart-Time Health & Dev't Community BuilderEA Philippines General Grant Funding Role Avg. EA PH FTE from Feb 2022 to Jan 2023 0.94 0.50 0.49 0.25 0.15 2 Months Buffer / Runway (i.e. if we have delays in our grant application or fundraising for the period after this grant) We generally followed this split, and the team worked roughly at the FTE hours allotted to them, except for Brian. He reduced his FTE gradually at EA PH since he transitioned to working full-time at CEA. He now works just 0.1 FTE as an adviser for EA Philippines, and averaged 0.21 FTE over the year for EA PH. His grant was reduced proportionally, and starting November 2022, Althy Cendaña started as a 0.5 FTE community builder for EA Philippines using the leftover money from Brian's grant, with the approval of the EAIF. However, some months within the year required more work hours from the original FTE hours allotment. Hence, for the next grant application, we realized the need to increase FTE allotment for certain roles. Breakdown of the General Grant Funding of $6,500 can be found in the Appendix. II. Theory of Change used for Grant Period 2022-2023 The document linked above was last updated in Sept 2021 but became the rough basis for the goals for this current EAIF grant. We have started to revisit this ToC for the 2023 cycle. We chose to focus on getting people into higher engagement categories. The Engagement Category Targets were as follows: Create at least 4 new highly engaged EAs (as defined by CEA here) Get at least an additional 6 people to reach category 4 of EA engagement, based on the community building grant EA engagement categories (linked here if you're not familiar with them:) Get at least an additional 17 people to reach category 3 of EA engagement (100 hours learning about EA) Get at least an additional 29 people to reach category 2 of EA engagement (50 hrs learning about EA. Results of the Community Growth are in the next section. III. Growth in EA PH Community Membership as of December 2022 As communicated in our approved grant application, below are our tentative high-level outcomes that we ended up using for the grant period, and our target completion as of January 18, 2023. .Rating the engagement category was done subjectively but informed by factoring in the fellowships, events, reading groups, 1:1s, conferences attended by members, personal EA content reading based on community surveys to contribute to hours of engagement, and volunteer, internships and career plans made. These numbers may be off by 5-10%, but currently is the best way we quantify these categories.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: How many people are working (directly) on reducing existential risk from AI?, published by Benjamin Hilton on January 17, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary I've updated my estimate of the number of FTE (full-time equivalent) working (directly) on reducing existential risks from AI from 300 FTE to 400 FTE. Below I've pasted some slightly edited excepts of the relevant sections of the 80,000 Hours profile on preventing an AI-related catastrophe. New 80,000 Hours estimate of the number of people working on reducing AI risk Neglectedness estimate We estimate there are around 400 people around the world working directly on reducing the chances of an AI-related existential catastrophe (with a 90% confidence interval ranging between 200 and 1,000). Of these, about three quarters are working on technical AI safety research, with the rest split between strategy (and other governance) research and advocacy. We think there are around 800 people working in complementary roles, but we're highly uncertain about this estimate. Footnote on methodology It's difficult to estimate this number. Ideally we want to estimate the number of FTE (“full-time equivalent“) working on the problem of reducing existential risks from AI. But there are lots of ambiguities around what counts as working on the issue. So I tried to use the following guidelines in my estimates: I didn't include people who might think of themselves on a career path that is building towards a role preventing an AI-related catastrophe, but who are currently skilling up rather than working directly on the problem. I included researchers, engineers, and other staff that seem to work directly on technical AI safety research or AI strategy and governance. But there's an uncertain boundary between these people and others who I chose not to include. For example, I didn't include machine learning engineers whose role is building AI systems that might be used for safety research but aren't primarily designed for that purpose. I only included time spent on work that seems related to reducing the potentially existential risks from AI, like those discussed in this article. Lots of wider AI safety and AI ethics work focuses on reducing other risks from AI seems relevant to reducing existential risks – this ‘indirect' work makes this estimate difficult. I decided not to include indirect work on reducing the risks of an AI-related catastrophe (see our problem framework for more). Relatedly, I didn't include people working on other problems that might indirectly affect the chances of an AI-related catastrophe, such as epistemics and improving institutional decision-making, reducing the chances of great power conflict, or building effective altruism. With those decisions made, I estimated this in three different ways. First, for each organisation in the AI Watch database, I estimated the number of FTE working directly on reducing existential risks from AI. I did this by looking at the number of staff listed at each organisation, both in total and in 2022, as well as the number of researchers listed at each organisation. Overall I estimated that there were 76 to 536 FTE working on technical AI safety (90% confidence), with a mean of 196 FTE. I estimated that there were 51 to 359 FTE working on AI governance and strategy (90% confidence), with a mean of 151 FTE. There's a lot of subjective judgement in these estimates because of the ambiguities above. The estimates could be too low if AI Watch is missing data on some organisations, or too high if the data counts people more than once or includes people who no longer work in the area. Second, I adapted the methodology used by Gavin Leech's estimate of the number of people working on reducing existential risks from AI. I split the organisations in Leech's estimate into technical sa...
Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Community Building from scratch: The first year of EA Hungary, published by gergogaspar on January 2, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. TLDR/summary: I (Gergő) started EA Hungary as a paid organizer in mid-September 2021. In one year, we've had 100+ intro fellowship applicants, 88 of whom completed it successfully. We have run other fellowships, from whom around 20 people have benefited. I have had about 110 calls, most of which were oriented on career support for the new members. EA Hungary brought counterfactually ~35 people to EAGx conferences and organized a retreat for 20 students. EA Hungary hired the second employee (Dia) in July, doing ~0.5 FTE.The aim of this post is to share the progress of EA Hungary in its first year (2021 Oct to 2022 Sept) I wrote this up with the intent of helping those who are starting a new group (hence the chronological order). If you are only interested in the main outcomes, read the tables. I hope this will be useful. Background and how I got funding I learned about EA sometime in 2020 and while attending the EAGxVirtual (13 – 14 June 2020), I met a few other people based in Hungary. We had the first in-person meetup in August 2020, with 6 people. Then the Covid-19 pandemic hit, so we carried on with online meetups about once per month. We ran the intro fellowship for existing members (7 people), followed by the in-depth fellowship (4 people). During this time (and afterwards) I was supported by Catherine Low from CEA, from whom I learned a lot (∼1 call every 1,5 months). In the meantime, I was also volunteering for SoGive as a charity analyst and then as an analysis coordinator (teaching people basic charity analysis + operations work). I learned a lot from this and I think it really sped up my involvement within EA. My experience with SoGive also helped me start and run EA Hungary more effectively, as I have already gained some operations and mentoring experience. In the fall of 2021, I started a second Master's in Philosophy at ELTE - (Eötvös Loránd University). Thanks to these activities mentioned above, I had a strong enough track record to apply for funding from EAIF to do 0.5 FTE, (although this upscaled to full-time pretty quickly). (I also have this story presented in memes, don't ask why.) 2021 Fall semester (from 2021 Mid-Sept to 2022 January) Main outcomes: (Where you see gaps it means that I didn't record the exact numbers/data) 8-week intro Fellowship: Number of applicants:DataNumber of people successfully completing the fellowship Number of people who filled out the completion survey:Data1-1 Mentoring calls 26 22 22 ∼20 Other outcomes: Online social around week 4, which was attended by around 6 people- End-of-fellowship meal which was attended by 14 people. General info about the 2021 Fall period: Marketing and advertisement of the fellowship was almost completely done on Facebook groups of various university programs of ELTE university. (Facebook is still the most widely used social media in Hungary, although it is slowly losing popularity) Lots of start-up time costs, as I was still figuring things out. If you would like to save time on operations, I recommend using some draft emails/forms from the EA Hungary care package as well as these amazing resources: EA Student Groups Handbook, EA Groups Resource Centre and this folder. 2022 Spring Semester (2022 February-May) Main outcomes: 8-week intro Fellowship: Number of people successfully completing the fellowshipDataNumber of people who filled out the completion survey:DataIn-depth fellowship Number of people successfully completing the fellowship 1-1 Mentoring calls (unfortunately I didn't keep an exact account, so this is a rough estimate) EAGxOxford attendees EAGxPrague attendees (the two numbers mean all attendees - counterfactual attendees (ie. people who wo...

This is: What Rethink Priorities General Longtermism Team Did in 2022, and Updates in Light of the Current Situation, published by Linch on December 14, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary Rethink Priorities' General Longtermism team, led by me, has existed for just under a year. In this post, I summarize our work so far. Our initial theory of change centered around: Primarily, facilitating the creation of faster and better longtermist “megaprojects” (though in practice, we focused more on somewhat scalable longtermist projects). Secondarily, improving strategy clarity about which “intermediate goals” longtermists should pursue (though in practice, we focused more opportunistically on miscellaneous high-impact research questions). (more) We had ~5 Full-time Equivalents (FTE) on average (a total of 54.5 FTE months of research work up until the end of November) and spent ~$721,000. (more) (Shareable) Outputs and outcomes of our work this year include: I encouraged the creation of and supported the Rethink Priorities' Special Projects team, which provides fiscal sponsorship to external entrepreneurial projects. Marie and Renan (based on prior work by Renan, Max, and me) made a simple model for prioritizing between longtermist projects and identifying ones that seemed especially promising to research further. (more) Our fellows and research assistant (Emma, Jam, Joe, Max, Marie) completed 13 research “speedruns” (~10h shallow dives) into specific longtermist projects. (more) Our fellows and research assistant (Emma, Jam, Joe, Max, Marie) completed further research on several longtermist projects, including air sterilization techniques, whistleblowing, the AI safety recruiting pipeline, and infrastructure to support independent researchers. (more) Renan cofounded and ran Condor Camp, a project that aims to find and engage world-class talent in Brazil for longtermist causes while also field-building longtermism and supporting EA community building in the country. (more) Ben cofounded and ran Pathfinder, a project to help mid-career professionals to find the highest impact work (more) I initiated a founder search for multiple promising projects, including: Shelters and other civilizational resilience work (resulting in recommending grants to Tereza Fildrova, who helped organize the SHELTER weekend, and Ulrik Horn, who is exploiting his fit for work in this area). (more) An early warning forecasting center (resulting in working with Alex D to explore founding a project in this area). (more) Ben researched nanotechnology strategy and made a database of resources relevant to this area. (more) Separately from my work at Rethink Priorities, I was a guest fund manager for EA Funds' Long-Term Future Fund, and a regranter for the Future Fund. (more) The recent changes to the EA funding situation have significantly affected our team's strategy, in that megaprojects now seem less relevant, and in that new research questions might have become especially important in light of the FTX crash. (more) However, I still think it's very plausible that we continue to focus on entrepreneurial longtermist projects as our main research area. We're currently in the process of reorienting and setting our strategy for 2023. (more) You can help our team by contributing ideas for highly impactful research projects, funding us, expressing interest in working with us, and giving feedback on the work and plans outlined in this post. (more) Preamble I've led the new General Longtermism team at Rethink Priorities for slightly under a year. Recent changes in the EA funding landscape have had a large impact on our work. I've decided that now is a good time to write a detailed summary of our work so far, as well as how recent events have affected our work. The primary purpose of this article is to be informa...

By Adam Turteltaub A compliance budget is a lot more than the numbers in it, explains Betsy Wade (LinkedIn), Chief Compliance & Ethics Officer at Signature Healthcare. It should be a reflection of the organization's priorities and risk profile. The budget is also a point of focus of the US Department of Justice when examining a compliance program during an investigation. Their Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Program guidance for prosecutors asks not only if there are sufficient resources but if they are allocated on a “risk-tailored” basis. So, what is the right budget to have? To determine that answer she recommends compliance teams do a risk assessment and determine what mitigation efforts will be needed. In addition, benchmark against other organizations to learn what they are spending and doing. Just try to make sure that you do so against as similar a business as possible. Look also to publicly available resources such as benchmarking surveys from HCCA and SCCE. Keep your eye out, too, for what regulators and enforcement authorities are saying. US Assistant Attorney General Kenneth A. Polite, Jr., she reports, recently called for compliance FTE for every thousand employees. The compliance budget should include the cost for all that compliance personnel. Also in the budget should be any travel, certification costs of staff members, staff training, services purchased, and more. To win management approval, she recommends continued analysis of the budget and making adjustments. She also advises using the risk assessment as a tool to support the compliance team's budget request. Listen in. Doing so won't add a penny to your budget.

He hates tyranny and oppression and anything that is anti-life. He never gives in and he never gives up, however overwhelming the odds against him. The Doctor believes in good and fights evil. Though often caught up in violent situations, he is a man of peace. He is never cruel or cowardly. In fact, to put it simply, the Doctor is a hero.” Happy birthday, Doctor!

Nouvelle de Guy de Maupassant proposée par audiolude.fr , narrateur : Alain Couchot"Nous venions de passer Gisors, où je m'étais réveillé en entendant le nom de la ville crié par les employés, et j'allais m'assoupir de nouveau, quand une secousse épouvantable me jeta sur la grosse dame qui me faisait vis-à-vis.Une roue s'était brisée à la machine qui gisait en travers de la voie. Le tender et le wagon de bagages, déraillés aussi, s'étaient couchés à côté de cette mourante qui râlait, geignait, sifflait, soufflait, crachait, ressemblait à ces chevaux tombés dans la rue, dont le flanc bat, dont la poitrine palpite, dont les naseaux fument et dont tout le corps frissonne, mais qui ne paraissent plus capables du moindre effort pour se relever et se remettre à marcher.Il n'y avait ni morts ni blessés, quelques contusionnés seulement, car le train n'avait pas encore repris son élan, et nous regardions, désolés, la grosse bête de fer estropiée, qui ne pourrait plus nous traîner et qui barrait la route pour longtemps peut-être, car il faudrait sans doute faire venir de Paris un train de secours.Il était alors dix heures du matin, et je me décidai tout de suite à regagner Gisors pour y déjeuner.Tout en marchant sur la voie, je me disais : « Gisors, Gisors, mais je connais quelqu'un ici. Qui donc ? Gisors ? Voyons, j'ai un ami dans cette ville. » Un nom soudain jaillit dans mon souvenir : « Albert Marambot. » C'était un ancien camarade de collège, que je n'avais pas vu depuis douze ans au moins, et qui exerçait à Gisors la profession de médecin. Souvent il m'avait écrit pour m'inviter ; j'avais toujours promis, sans tenir. Cette fois enfin je profiterais de l'occasion.Je demandai au premier passant : « Savez-vous où demeure M. le docteur Marambot ? » Il répondit sans hésiter, avec l'accent traînard des Normands : « Rue Dauphine. » J'aperçus en effet, sur la porte de la maison indiquée, une grande plaque de cuivre où était gravé le nom de mon ancien camarade. Je sonnai ; mais la servante, une fille à cheveux jaunes, aux gestes lents, répétait d'un air stupide : « I y est paas, i y est paas. »J'entendais un bruit de fourchettes et de verres, et je criai : « Hé ! Marambot. » Une porte s'ouvrit, et un gros homme à favoris parut, l'air mécontent, une serviette à la main."
Manager Minute-brought to you by the VR Technical Assistance Center for Quality Management
Today, Dacia Johnson, Executive Director of the Oregon Commission for the Blind, chats with Carol Pankow, about some of the really innovative practices that the Oregon Commission for the Blind has implemented to improve organizational effectiveness and benefit the VR community. Dacia and her team did a lot of work preparing for monitoring and restructuring some critical elements of the organizational structure that has the VR community talking. Join Dacia and Carol in the Manager Minute studio for this timely conversation on championing innovation and high performance in a climate where so many agencies are looking for ways to spend VR funds effectively. Listen Here Full Transcript VRTAC-QM Manager Minute: Rethinking Agency Organizational Structure- Ideas that Work with Dacia Johnson-Oregon Blind {Music} Speaker1: Manager Minute brought to you by the VRTAC for Quality Management, Conversations powered by VR, one manager at a time, one minute at a time. Here is your host Carol Pankow. Carol: Well, welcome to the manager minute. Joining me in the studio today is Dacia Johnson, executive director of the Oregon Commission for the Blind. She has been the executive director since 2013 and was the director of the agency's rehabilitation services program prior to that. So Dacia was so good to see you at the VR conference last week. How are things going in Oregon? Dacia: It was great to see you as well, Carol. And things are going well here. I mean, I think like every agency, we have our challenges and opportunities, but certainly we're focused on providing the best services we can to Oregonians who experience vision, loss and just getting at it every day. Carol: Awesome to hear. Well, full disclosure to our listeners, Dacia and I have worked together in both NCSAB and CSVAR and we were new director buddies. Back in 2013, right before the world changed with WIOA in 2014, and I had the good fortune to participate in the Oregon Commission for the Blind Monitoring visit this year and learned a ton of interesting things about the agency. Dacia's undertaken some really cutting edge organizational improvements that will be a benefit to the VR community, and I knew I needed to get her on the program to talk about this. And I think it's also fitting and timely with the state of the national VR program and agencies are looking for ways to effectively spend funds. So let's dig in. So Dacia, can you tell our listeners a little bit about yourself and the agency? Like what's your background and how did you land at the commission? Dacia: Sure. I started my undergraduate degrees in psychology and so like every undergraduate with a psychology major, I didn't know what I was going to do. And I moved back to a small town in southern Oregon and I got a job with at the time it was a GPA workforce training program, and I loved that job. I did that for a couple of years and what I realized was my favorite part of it was working with at Risk Youth and what that was with youth with disabilities, right? They were kids with significant learning disabilities, kids with psychiatric disabilities. And I just love the work. That job ended and I moved myself to the big city and I started in private rehabilitation. And I realized quickly that the work of private rehabilitation just didn't really fit my values. And so I started working in public vocational rehabilitation while I simultaneously pursued my graduate degree in rehabilitation counseling. I did that at the general agency in Oregon. There's two agencies here, there's the general agency, and then there's the services for the individuals who are blind under what's called the Commission for the Blind, where I currently work. And I was recruited to come here in 2000 and I immediately fell in love with the work. Carol, you know this, but blindness rehabilitation is very holistic. You really have to address the needs of the entire person, starting with skills and adjustment and just helping them kind of redirect their existing skills and new and innovative ways. And I just loved it. I also love the fact that with the blindness organization are oftentimes closer to the work. I love policy, I love meetings. I'm a nerd that way. I love thinking about new programs. But with our agency, you actually get to see people who are going through the rehabilitation process. You get to interact with them. And so it was just the right elevation for me. And I've been here ever since. Carol: I love that. I didn't know that about you. That's a cool way to start. And you're like an old timer now. You've been there, what, 20 going on? 23. Dacia: Been here? Yep, 22 years in August. And for a long time I was the newbie. And so now it is a little bit interesting to be one of the most senior staff people. I will say that I have never not wanted to come to work and to me that's an incredible gift to be able to work doing things that you're passionate about with incredibly committed, passionate rehabilitation professionals, not unlike yourself, Carol, but we just have just a wonderful, service oriented mission. And I love coming to work and I feel incredibly grateful for that opportunity every day. Carol: Yeah, you have a fantastic team. Now, I know a commission is a little bit of a different structure than most people are maybe used to. Can you give us just a few high points and what's different about that? And then also, like, how many people do you guys serve? Dacia: All right. So we have a commission structure. We're grandfathered under the Rehabilitation Act, so we don't have a state rehabilitation council. We have a seven member board that reports directly to the governor. And that board has appointing authority over the executive director. Myself and the majority of those commissioners in Oregon have to be legally blind. And so our structure really ensures that we're focusing in and have crystal clear priorities around the best services possible to Oregonians who are blind or blindness organization. So we provide a combination of vocational rehabilitation services and independent living. Services to individuals with the largest independent living program being the older independent living program. For individuals who are blind. We serve anywhere from 1300 to 1600 folks a year in our vocational rehabilitation program. Last year, I think we served around 650 folks. Carol: Yeah, it gives me a good perspective because I think back at SSB when I left, we were around 800 folks in the VR, and OIB program we were serving about 5000 people. Dacia: Wow. It's incredible. Carol: It's pretty cool. But I'm like you, I love that work and I love being close to the people and seeing what's going on. So I know you and your team did a just a ton of work preparing for that monitoring, but you also did a lot of work in restructuring some critical elements of your organizational structure. Can you tell our listeners what prompted you to think about doing something different with your structure and what are the specific things that you've done. Dacia: On the monitoring piece, I think what I will say about preparing for monitoring is use the tools that are available to us that you, Carol, have developed. So I think that basically you use the checklists that the TAC has created for agencies. It makes a difference, right? So we actually thought we were on the short list for a long time. So we actually had been preparing, I would say, on a quarterly basis, going through the monitoring guide for that particular year and just trying to think through some of the questions. The monitoring guide doesn't change radically year to year. So we just kind of made sure that we were not starting from ground zero once they notified the states that were monitored. And I encourage everyone to do that because it really makes you think about kind of your structure. The other thing is I've been here a long time, and so I think that some of the skills that we all developed in vocational rehabilitation counseling, in terms of assessing skills and abilities and capabilities, I feel like I've applied that to our organization over time. And then I've looked for opportunities to be able to strategically invest in the organization. One of the things in which we're unique is that we actually employed an internal auditor and folks are like, How can a small agency benefit from an internal auditor? Well, I'll tell you, one of the first things that that position did when we hired them was to create some infrastructure around our quality assurance manual auditors, because we wanted that position to be able to actually audit the work they own the process of making sure things were documented in terms of internal controls, policies and procedures, but they actually didn't create the internal control, if that makes sense. They didn't create the policies and procedures. So that position had enough distance that over time they can actually do the internal auditing and testing of the processes to make sure they're in place. But really having one position that directly reports to me that had that full responsibility of making sure that things were clear documented in one place and kind of reflected the organization, I think was critical to us. That position is constantly having activities going on to make sure that our organization is running effectively and efficiently. They also were the lead on the monitoring preparation. It is a massive lift to get prepared for monitoring and go through the process. But we had one point of contact that doesn't do the work of the service delivery and they were able to objectively kind of track our progress and leading up to the monitoring and then led the work for the onsite monitoring itself. And it felt like it ran pretty smoothly to have that structure. So even if you don't have a separate position like we have, I would encourage folks to use that central point of contact ownership model because I think it made our monitoring run fairly smoothly. Carol: Yeah, I thought it was pretty cool because that's Clay's position, correct? Dacia: Yes. Yes. Carol: So if anybody out there, you can't have Clay, But Clay is really awesome. And we were able to get into contact with him before you all went through the monitoring. He had reached out about a couple of things and I was like, What? Like what is this position? And that's why I just want you to say, what did your monitoring team say about this position? Dacia: They were really pleased to see it, particularly on the fiscal side and looking at the way we have that separation and the ability to objectively review information, they were very favorable about the position for sure. Carol: Yeah. In fact, I think they said we've never seen this anywhere else. You are the only agency that has had a position that was developed quite like that, and I thought that was pretty cool. So I guess I didn't realize that Clay had not developed that whole extensive manual that you had. There is a lot of work that went into that. Who did that? Who did all of that? Dacia: He helped kind of with the lift of getting things documented. But each of the programs actually did the identification of the issues because we wanted him to have that autonomy and independence and not creating the actual documentation itself. Before we had dedicated resources, we started the process of creating a quality assurance manual. And what we realize is without dedicated resources to focus on it, it never happened. So the other thing I would encourage folks to do, if you don't have that position to help with the documentation is I basically said and I gave I think three months and I just said, you have to do it by this date. Carol: Oh my gosh, yeah, that's quick. Dacia: And I just said, it's never going to be a good time. And I just set a deadline. I think it was three months. People freaked out a little bit, but the reality is it got done right? And then we built from the foundation. We added once we kind of did a gap analysis of what was missing from that initial documentation list, then Clay helped kind of figure out where we needed to create documentation beyond what that initial lift was. Carol: Well, and I know with the blind agency, it's always unique because we're typically smaller. We don't have a lot of resources. So kind of carving out these sort of positions and making investments in a particular piece of infrastructure like that. You know, it's kind of a deal. It's a big deal to do it. And so taking the funds and kind of making that happen. So had you had that kind of swirling around in your mind for a while? Dacia: I had I mean, like every agency you go through the single audit act experience where you have external auditors. When I first became executive director, there was a significant push to try to make sure that the agency was running effectively and efficiently. And what I quickly realized is you don't know what you don't know, you know, especially like in on the service delivery side, but you have gaps and you're just not going to see them unless you have a focused attention on actually looking for your gaps. And so once I realized the pressure and the expectation to have this particular element be like running the best it could be, then I thought, well, then give me the resources. Right? I advocated for the resources to make sure that we could actually maintain that level of expectations. Carol: Good for you. That's awesome. You also made some investment, though, in your fiscal team. I remember because did you not structure some things in a different way with your fiscal unit as well? Dacia: We did. We actually had some turnover at our chief financial officer level and as I did the exit interview with the candidate that left who loved working for the agency, they indicated like this is impossible work, like you have like the CFO as a small agency wearing all of these hats. But there were so many hats that they were running from one fire to another fire to another fire to another fire. So then we hire a new CFO, and within a couple of months, the new person was like, I feel like I'm running from one fire to another fire to another fire like, All right. So either I listen to these very different professionals with different backgrounds and expertise and say there's too much work, right? So we advocated to add a grant accountant position that had just started actually last December. So not quite a year yet. And the grant accountant position in part is going to be focusing on preparing all of the grant reports and all of that tracking. And then that gives the CFO the opportunity to be able to review that work with some separation to make sure that that work is accurate, that it has all of the required elements in it. We had some very small but annoying financial reporting errors that were recurring that came up on the Single Audit Act audits. And the major barrier for us was the CFO was preparing the report, reviewing their own work and then submitting the report. And there were keying errors, you know, silly things that you just can't double check your own work. It's impossible. Carol: Right? Good for you. Yeah. Because you know, all those single audit act, when you get on that list, there's always a lot of follow up. And I remember back in the day, like our governor's office, I'd have to send quarterly reports like how we're going to resolve this particular finding. They don't like you to have any. So good for you for doing that. So how do you think things are working out since you've made those changes? And have you had any kind of lessons learned along the way so far? Dacia: Yeah, I think that they're working out well. One of the things we're working on now that's still in development is, as we know, our financial management is super complex. So we have to at any one time look at state level appropriations and budgets. At the same time, we need to be managing our match and our maintenance of effort and our Pre-ETS and we have to look at our cash on hand and tracking that and making sure that we don't have federal cash around too long and all of these pieces. And so we're creating with the lead work, being of that new grant account position, some kind of a dashboard that can kind of help us make those types of decisions, like when to switch from one year of Pre-ETS to the next year of Pre-ETS, and when we've met our match and maintenance of effort. And how does that compare with our state appropriation year and making sure that we expend all of our state funds that we have available during that period? And what I'm hoping that will be able to do is as we're trying to make decisions in terms of budget appropriation, grant management decisions around re allotment and all of that stuff, that we have kind of some data intelligence to help us kind of drive those decisions and track it over time. Carol: Well, imagine that data driven decision making, Dacia. Dacia: I know, right? Carol: I think you did a little presentation on that a few years ago somewhere. I kind of seem to remember that was one of your big things you like to think about. Dacia: Yeah, the piece that I would in terms of lessons learned, we're a small agency and we have passionate staff, right? Sometimes I think that I could have probably engaged staff and more often. And as to why are we adding these positions that aren't in the direct service bucket, I think that's a question that still comes up periodically, even though they see the value, but still sometimes they're like, Oh, did we add this? And why didn't we add a counselor or a teacher? No, I don't think you can over communicate the why to staff, even though, again, I think they intellectually see the benefit. But when you add FTE, they really want it to be in the service bucket, the admin stuff. I think they feel like you always have enough, you know. And the truth is, I think that agencies, particularly small agencies under resourced the administrative tasks because there's a certain amount of work that has to happen and it has to happen well, and at the end of the day, if you aren't running your organization well, they're not going to give you extra credit because you've been putting all your resources in the direct service area. They're just going to say that you're not running your organization well. Carol: Yeah, and then that doesn't bode well. I came in too, to that. And if we aren't shipshape financially and we don't have all of that together, then we can't really run the program. Dacia: Yeah. Carol: Don't know what we're doing. So it is always that fine balance because like you say, we're small typically, and when you add that resource over here, people immediately look at that, Oh, sure, you're making, you know, the central office. People are bloated, There's too many people. But boy, in a blind agency, when you're wearing 15 hats, it gets tough. And there has to be that separation for sure. Dacia: Yeah. And Carol, you and Sara have kind of reinforced directors need to know the financial matters. And I think I can't reinforce that enough, like the whole vision of having a grant account and then figuring out this dashboard stuff that came out of me not sleeping right and trying to think like, gosh darn it, I need to have this kind of information available because I'm the one that's worrying about this at the end of the day. Carol: So I hope we didn't make you not sleep. Dacia: Oh, no, not at all. Carol: I know we talk about it a lot, though. So how far away do you think you are from this dashboard? Because I'm sure people are probably pretty interested. Dacia: It's probably about 70% there. Carol: Oh, wow. Dacia: Yeah, we've been working on it for a while. Like right now we're having to try to make some decisions. Do we have enough spending authority for the remainder of our budget cycle, which is through June 30th? We're going to meet in a couple of weeks. And this is the first test. It's like, is this dashboard going to give us the data that we need to make that budget decision? So we're trying to apply the concepts now to say, where are we at with periods? That's the other test that we have is working with our sister agency, the general agency, on the 22 projects. Are we good? Can we move on to 23 periods? Those kinds of Things. Carol: Yeah. I definitely want to take a look at that. When you get that done. I'm super interested. I'm sure other people would be as well. So I know your mind is always thinking, Do you have other things you're cooking up there that you're thinking about doing? Dacia: Well, right now we're preparing and Oregon has a biennial budget, so we've been looking at a specific focus on outreach. We feel like the pandemic was a particular time where folks were kind of hunkered in, especially individuals who are blind, as oftentimes they had other secondary health conditions that made them nervous about acquiring COVID. And so we're wanting to do a pretty aggressive outreach effort and we're hoping to get the resources on that. The other thing that we're excited about is we're asking for some dedicated resources. That would be in house expertise with state funds. That would be like technology gurus to help with kind of the statewide enterprise technology projects to lean in on the accessibility and usability of any type of statewide projects. So in the event that a job seeker or candidate who is blind was thinking about working in some case management system or whatever, that we would at least be able to influence the accessibility usability of some of those statewide systems. So we're pretty excited about that as well. Carol: Oh, that is very cool. I'm going to give you a tip on that outreach campaign. Check out David D'Angelo. He's from Mass Commission for the Blind. He did this big PSA initiative about a year or so ago with some real admin dollars. And it was very clever, very well done. And I know it's impacted his numbers, so I always like pitching that to everybody. Check out Mass Commission for the Blind as well, because there's not a lot of people. Everybody's talking about this right now, but there's not a lot of examples of ways that people have done that that are out there. So it is always nice to kind of go, Oh, what's somebody else done? Dacia: That's great. Yeah, we'll definitely check them out. Carol: So do you have any advice for our listeners as they contemplate looking inward at their own organizational structure, any kind of words of wisdom for them as folks are struggling with this right now? Dacia: Well, I was inspired by our colleague from California, Joe Xavier, during the course of our leadership forum when he was like, be bold. Right? So I think that would be my first thing. I'm going to just quote Joe and say, be bold. I think that this is a time to just lean in and just think big and just try to apply the same skills that we learned. Many of us grew up through the ranks of counselors and just think about your organization the way you would think about a client, like what are the strengths, what are the resources and what are those opportunities to improve? The other thing I would say to folks is even if you have constraints around FTE and you can't build out a grant account and look for an intergovernmental agreement and grab some resources from another agency that might be able to loan you the expertise. The same with auditing. Before it had a position, we contract it out for auditing work. What I realized from that is the ownership piece is different, right? And you're just not controlling and directing a consultant the way you do a staff. So it just didn't have exactly what I wanted, but it was better than nothing. So know what you can do within your constraints of your systems that you have to work with and then just go for it. Carol: That's well said. And you've given a little commercial for next month because next month I'm talking to Brent McNeal from Florida General and they've had this contract. They lost FTEs and they weren't able to get them, but they had the dollars, so they were allowed to contract for positions. So we're going to talk to him about how he did that so that that is timely, too. Well said to lead into that. Well, I appreciate your time today, Dacia. I think it's super cool. I'm really excited about what's going on at Oregon and please do share that dashboard when you get that done. Dacia: Absolutely. Carol: Thanks for being on the show and best of luck to you and happy holidays. Coming up, Happy Thanksgiving and all that good stuff. Dacia: Yes. Well, thanks for the opportunity, Carol. It's always fun to visit with you. {Music} Speaker1: Conversations powered by VR, one manager at a time, one minute at a time, brought to you by the VR TAC for Quality Management.

In this episode of OP Talks, Stephen Di Trolio interviews Chicano educator, administrator, and institutional strategist Dr. Patrick Reyes. He is the host of the Forum for Theological Exploration (FTE) podcast “The Scholar's Guide to Writing,” a series of guided practices to assist scholars in the art of writing a dissertation. Dr. Reyes is also Senior Director of Learning Design at FTE, a leadership incubator founded in 1954 that inspires young people to make a difference in the world through Christian communities. In addition to providing oversight for organizational learning and resource development around vocational exploration, leadership and innovation, he manages FTE's doctoral initiatives. His “Scholar's Guide” podcast was born out of questions like, "What is the challenge doctoral students face? What is the internal resistance beyond the committee?" Step-by-step, the podcast aims to help doctoral students through the dissertation-writing process—from writing the acknowledgements and the conclusion to editing the manuscript, and more.

Our number one biggest request this past year has been the ability to control your images. It hasn't just been Scopio, every tech company has changed its systems to two limit the control of data. We have figured out a way to give you multiple options one to display only your images so that this will act more of a portfolio of your images that you do not want to distribute this could be precious works of yours or something that you're just not ready to sell we have cell as an FTE and a downloadable so is and if you would automatically meant your images on the Solana block chain and downloadable is the ability for people all over the world to use your images through Scopio's website. Most people know the reason I started this business was to distribute important stories and images. If Instagram gets deleted tomorrow there goes our history. Twitter hides our images after like 1 day! I encourage people to think in terms of crowdsourcing and sharing our images so that the world has access to them, and be open. I am curious to see what people do with display only and what price people put for NFT's which we have made easy for beginners. Scopio's center of our team's values are to build things easy for anyone to use. Have fun with this new fabulous app and share it with your friends to download the "Scopio" app. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/scopio/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/scopio/support

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Announcing the Rethink Priorities Special Projects Program, published by Rachel Norman on September 21, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Key points Rethink Priorities (RP) has launched a Special Projects (SP) Program to help start promising EA initiatives by providing fiscal sponsorship and full-service operational support–including, but not limited to hiring, finance, event planning, and communications. A key strength of RP is its operations. We have been able to scale the organization from 1.5 full-time equivalents (FTE) staff to nearly 50 FTE in just four years. The SP Program advances projects that RP would like to see happen and allows these projects to focus on their core work rather than worrying about running their organization. Current special projects include Epoch, the Insect Welfare Project, Unjournal, EA Market Testing, Condor Camp, and EA Pathfinder. There are various ways to get involved in the SP Program: join our team, apply to have your project sponsored, or share with us lessons you've learned incubating projects if you have experience in this arena. Please reach out by submitting an Expression of Interest form. About Rethink Priorities Founded in 2018, RP is dedicated to informing decisions made by high-impact organizations and funders across various cause areas. To date, our team has conducted over 50 person-years of work (you can find all our public research here). One of our key strengths is our operational capacity, which allows us to recruit, onboard, and support talented researchers to produce quality work with minimal bureaucratic red tape. Given our strong operations, RP would like to support other promising EA projects – particularly longtermist ones – in getting off the ground. To this end, we recently launched a new Special Projects Program. About the Special Projects Program As an off-shoot of our Operations Department, Special Projects is a distinct team dedicated to supporting the launch of new projects rather than running RP's day-to-day operations. The team's Acting Director Carolyn Footitt is leading this work with Associates María De la Lama and Cristina Schmidt Ibáñez. Their projects generally fall under two areas: Incubated (internal)–In addition to our research agenda, RP is incubating direct work and other projects that advance our mission. The SP Team works closely with RP staff to launch these initiatives. Once the incubation period for each respective initiative ends, the project will either conclude or spin-off to become an independent organization. Fiscally sponsored (external)–The SP Team is also providing fee-based fiscal sponsorship and support to projects that are managed by individuals outside of RP. Within this model, the project's founders maintain autonomy and decision-making authority while we provide them with operational and fiduciary oversight. Our services Although our involvement will depend on the project, in general, the SP Team will provide operational support to projects much in the way that our Core Operations Team supports RP's work. Such services might include developing and managing budgets, accounting, contracting, running hiring rounds, planning the onboarding of new staff, hosting and developing the project website, and other operations tasks outlined in the below chart. Current Special Projects The SP Team is currently incubating the following projects: LAISR, an AI strategy retreat in Washington, D.C. The provisionally-named Insect Welfare Project to address welfare concerns around the growing insect farming industry Unjournal, an open platform for research relevant to global priorities EA Market Testing, a survey on how to best promote effective giving and action EA Pathfinder, an initiative to advise and support mid-career professionals looking to switch into EA work Condor Camp, an EA a...

In today's episode of How We Got There, I talk with Bethany Blackwell, who is a VP at Carahsoft. Bethany runs the Salesforce channel for Carahsoft, which includes Salesforce, Slack, Mulesoft, Tableau, ISVs, and SIs. Carahsoft has worked with Salesforce for the past 15 years as a Value-Added Reseller and got there start on the GSA schedule to help Salesforce sell to the public sector here in the US. They help with sales, marketing, and contracting for Salesforce and it's partners to federal, state, and local government organizations. If you have public sector demand for your application that includes interest from a customer, it's a good time to reach out to Carahsoft who will get you set up on the correct contract vehicle. This will expedite the purchasing process, sometimes even avoiding the need to take it to RFP. The earlier you call them the better, even before pricing is discussed. As your public sector gtm becomes more intentional with at least one FTE focused on this industry, Carahsoft will work with partners add value to your sales and marketing efforts. Top examples are Nintex, Copado, Ownbackup, and many more. Recent legislation in the US has caused even more opportunity for the Salesforce platform and ISV partners to help deliver value to it's citizens. During the pandemic, Bethany recalls all of the amazing solutions that the ecosystem helped to create with 20+ states using the Salesforce platform for contact tracing and vaccine rollouts. We discuss FedRamp, which is a set of standards put in place for security standards for software offerings. The program is great for buyers but takes significant money and time for an ISV but is required for companies looking to go “all-in” for public sector. A common misconception for ISVs that are native to Salesforce is that because they are built on the Salesforce platform and they are FedRamp/SOC 2 Type 2 certified, you as an ISV inherit that. It's true it makes it easier but it involves (much more) than just that. If you're interested in exploring this channel, reach out to them at salesforce@carahsoft.com for an introductory meeting. A tip for your conversations is to ask them how they purchase today, do they leverage Carahsoft? Carahsoft can help partners with their gtm approach for public sector! Here's a closer look at the episode: '0:01:19 What role does Salesforce have in the ecosystem that they lived in? '0:01:44 What Carahsoft does for salesforce and for the broader ecosystem? '0:03:22 How should they think about Carahsoft and how you can help? '0:06:37 What's the best strategy on how to go to market in this ecosystem? '0:06:57 How does your team work with the Salesforce AEs in the public sector? '0:10:20 Who do you work with today, and some lessons learned? '0:10:26 What are some mistakes folks can avoid? '0:18:33 What's a mistake to avoid for folks starting to dip their toe into federal or state? '0:20:22 What the process for an ISV would look like? How long does it takes?

Season 2 of FTE is here! In today's episode we'll be taking a look at some of our favorite potential breakout players for the upcoming 2022 NFL season.
It's 2013 and Doctor Who is back for its anniversary season — with a new companion, a new outfit for the Doctor, and a lethal and potentially world-ending new threat from the Internet, more than a decade before the invention of Web3. Keep a close eye on your apes, everyone: it's The Bells of Saint John. Notes and links Celia Imrie is known and loved by all of us here at FTE from her role in Absolutely Fabulous as Jennifer Saunders's rival in PR, Claudia Bing from Bing, Bing, Bing & Bing. Here's an in-depth interview with her, about her career both as an actress and a writer, which published in The Scotsman in 2016. Danny Hargreaves was Doctor Who's extremely photogenic special effects supervisor, who was always a very welcome addition to any episode of Doctor Who Confidential. And, finally, it's time that we sat down and had a serious, proper talk about Doctor Who production codes. From the very beginning of the show in 1963, every story was referred to internally by its production code, which was initially a single capital letter from A to Z, then a double letter (AA to ZZ), then a triple letter (AAA to ZZZ) and then finally an initial number followed by a letter (4A to 4Z and so on). And so An Unearthly Child was A and Ghost Light was 7Q. Back in the day, certain of us knew the production codes for every story — sadly, in these hectic modern times, we have better things to do. You can find out all about the ins and outs of production codes here. Follow us Nathan is on Twitter as @nathanbottomley, Brendan is @brandybongos and James is @ohjamessellwood The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam. You can follow the podcast on Twitter at @FTEpodcast. We're also on Facebook, and you can check out our website at flightthroughentirety.com. Please consider rating or reviewing us on Apple Podcasts, or we'll move in next door to you and give our wifi network an obscene and insulting SSID.

We'll be recording our final episode some time in October. Our James Bond commentary podcast is called Bondfinger, and you can find that at bondfinger.com, at @bondfingercast on Twitter, on Apple Podcasts, and everywhere else as well. We can also be heard on the Blakes 7 podcast Maximum Power, whose coverage of Series B will be starting any second now. And finally, there's our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. In the most recent episode, they are surprised to find themselves fighting to the death over a beautiful woman, in Amok Time.
