Q5 es una banda estadounidense de hard rock / heavy metal de Seattle , Washington , que se formó en 1983.Su primer álbum de estudio, titulado Steel the Light , salió en 1984. Recibiendo algunos elogios de la crítica, el grupo estuvo de gira con artistas como de Lita Ford y Twisted Sister . Sin embargo, el grupo enfrentó divisiones internas que finalmente terminaron con el proyecto antes de que terminara la década de 1980. En 2014, Q5 se volvió a formar para actuar en el Festival de Rock de Suecia, y los miembros de la banda involucrados descubrieron que el evento único no era suficiente, y decidieron continuar con la versión renovada del grupo. LA BANDA CONTINUA EN ACTIVO.... Q5 comenzó en 1983. [1] Funcionó como un supergrupo al mezclar a miembros de dos bandas populares de Seattle de la época. El líder Jonathan K y el guitarrista Floyd D. Rose de "CORE" (o "The CORE") se unieron al guitarrista Rick Pierce, el bajista Evan Sheeley y el baterista Gary Thompson de "TKO". [1] Su primer álbum de estudio, Steel the Light de 1984 , recibió elogios de varios críticos. [2] [3] Q5 firmó con Polygram para su segundo lanzamiento de 1985, When the Mirror Cracks , pero la escritura ya estaba en la pared. Las diferencias personales destrozaron al grupo poco después de dicho lanzamiento.[2] Más tarde se reagruparon como Nightshade y lanzaron otro álbum llamado Dead of Night en 1991. Después de eso, la banda se quedó en silencio durante diez años. Hicieron dos álbumes más como Nighshade, Men of Iron en 2001 y Stand And Be True en 2008. La banda ha presentado un sonido de hard rock melódico que incorpora influencias de heavy metal , con sus canciones cubiertas por artistas como Great White y Wolf . El ex miembro Floyd Rose también es mejor conocido como el inventor del sistema de trémolo de bloqueo de guitarra Evan Sheeley Bass, Keyboards, Sequencing Gary Thompson Drums, Drum Programming, Percussion Rick Pierce Guitars Floyd Rose Guitars Jonathan Scott K.

Two of the industry's top decoy arisans, Pat Gregory and Rick Pierce, sat down with Joel at the Duck Hunters Expo in Little Rock, AR, and went down a deeeep rabbit hole into the world of decoy carving. From family to tradition; how a decoy hunter finds the hobby. From history to novelty: what makes carving decoys mesmerizing for the carver and viewer.  As this hobby is inexorably tied to the sport of duck hunting, the decoys have become a part of the cycle of duck hunting: Off-season creation, the shot in a well-used decoy, how a carver sees a bagged duck, and how those birds inspire new creations. You can get started too, as our trio finds this hobby is more accessible than ever to someone just starting on a block of wood. Strap in for all of that and the one phrase that will make a decoy carver's spine shiver.https://deltawaterfowl.org/old-decoys-new-hobby/

August 15th, 2023, Court Leader's Advantage Podcast Episode Leaders deal with multiple circles of individuals.  Two that you as a court administrator or Clerk of Court deal with are 1) those who report to you and 2) those you either report to or deal with as fellow stakeholders.  Those reporting to you include your team, and the larger office or court staff.   The next circle centers on your Presiding Judge, and your bench; it includes your funding body such as your City Council, County Board, the state administrative office, or the state legislature.  It extends to your fellow justice partners such as the Sheriff, the Prosecutor, the bar, and community organizations.   The leadership skills needed to deal with both circles include team building, mentoring, strategic thinking, organization, persuasive speaking, and concise effective writing.  But you deal with your fellow stakeholders (principally your judges), differently than with your court staff.  Your judges are leaders in their own right; usually, they have their own vision which or may not align with yours; they are well-educated and may not be particularly interested in your counsel.  In addition, many judges may have developed their own concepts of managing people, they are used to handing down orders from the bench and having them obeyed, many are elected so they have their own specific constituency, and court staff often have a direct informal pipeline to individual judges.  Rick Pierce described the role of the administrator dealing with this circle as being an “influencer.” This month we're looking at leaders as influencers of others in power. What is this environment really like? Are there different skills necessary or just different ways of applying the skills you have?  What is your mindset when working with your bench?   Today's Panelists Rick Pierce: Judicial Programs Administrator, Pennsylvania Administrative Office of the Courts   Melinda Brooks: Grants and Special Projects Manager, Municipal Court, Franklin County, Ohio   Ellen Procida-Fisher: Operations Manager, Superior Court, Cape May, New Jersey,   JoShonda Guerrier: Interim Chief Administrative Officer, Juvenile Court, Fulton County, Georgia, and   Lori Tyack: Clerk of Court for the Municipal Court, Franklin County, Ohio

April 18th, 2023, Court Leader's Advantage Podcast Episode We have been talking about various aspects of employee recruitment and selection, often as it intersects with diversity, equity, and inclusion.  This brought up the topic of the power imbalance surrounding employee selection.  Traditionally, job candidates enter the selection process in a powerless and sometimes even in a belittling position.   The NACM Model Code of Conduct, Canon 1.4 states “A court professional treats litigants, co-workers, and all others interacting with the court with dignity, respect, and courtesy.” So, the questions arise: · Is the power imbalance in the hiring process real? · Is it disrespectful to job candidates? · Do we who hire court employees actually have any interest in altering that power imbalance? Most of us have been on both sides of the interview table.  And most of us can agree that applying for a job can be competitive and it can be nerve-wracking; can it also be demeaning?    Today's Panelists   Karl Thoennes, Court Administrator for the Second Judicial Circuit Court, Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Karl began his career in the courts in Alaska in 1988, working as a division supervisor at the state's largest trial court in Anchorage.  He was appointed as Court Administrator in Todd County, Minnesota in 1998, and then Stearns County, St. Cloud, two years later.  In 2004 he was appointed as Administrator for the Second Judicial Circuit in South Dakota. Karl has guest lectured at St. Cloud State University on court structure and management, spoken on international public ethics in Minneapolis, and completed two graduate seminars in public policy in Sapporo, Japan, first as a student and then guest speaker.   He holds a Masters degree in public administration from the University of Alaska. Rick Pierce, Judicial Programs Administrator for the Pennsylvania Administrative Office of the Courts. As judicial programs administrator, Rick is responsible for program implementation and education in court administration at the general and limited jurisdiction court levels. Rick served as the President for the Mid-Atlantic Association for Court Management for 2005-2006. Previously he has served on the MAACM advisory board from 1997-2005. A graduate from Washington and Lee University, Rick received his Masters in Public Administration from Shippensburg University in 1995. He has been an active member of the Pennsylvania Association of Court Management, (PACM) since its inception in 1989. He has served as a board member from 1994-2001, culminating in his presidency in 2000-2001. Liz Rambo, Trial Court Administrator for the Lane County Circuit Court in Eugene Oregon. As the TCA for one of Oregon's largest courts, Liz is responsible for all non-judicial court functions including budget, human resources, technology, facilities, and business efficiency.   A 31-year court employee, Liz has a history of advocacy for the mission of the Oregon Judicial Department and the service that the Oregon Judicial Branch provides to the public.  Liz has served on a variety of judicial branch leadership committees including as Chair of the Chief Justice Communications Committee, member of the Chief Justice Strategic Planning Committee, Law and Policy Workgroup, Internal Audit Committee, the Oregon eCourt Steering Committee.  For the last five years, Liz has worked closely with Lane County leadership toward building a new Lane County Courthouse and will continue to bring her years of experience to that ongoing project through design and construction. Liz graduated with high scholarship from Oregon State University with a BA in history and has an MBA from Portland State University.  She is a long-time member of the National Association of Court Management and holds a Court Manager certification from the National Center for State Courts. Liz is the recipient of the 2023 Warren E. Burger award for excellence in court administration.

November 15th 2022, Court Leader's Advantage Podcast Episode The public's perception of our courts continues to be a topic of concern and curiosity for court professionals. Last month we discussed finding of the National Center for State Courts 2021 State of the State Courts survey that found that public trust in the courts had declined to 64% from a high in 2018 of 76%. This month we will take a deeper dive into several areas of interest: · How much influence does “the ability to be heard in court” affect the public's perception? · Does the public look at the different levels of the court differently? · What role do lawyers play in promoting differing views between general jurisdiction and limited jurisdiction courts? · How does the development of remote hearings play into caseflow efficiency and the public's perception? Today's Cohost Stacy Worby, State Jury Coordinator for the Alaska Court System. In that capacity she is responsible for the coordination and operation of the centralized processes for the court's jury management systems.

October 18, 2022 Court Leader's Advantage Podcast Episode What do we know about how the public views our courts? We know that the public's trust and confidence in courts has been slipping over the years. The 2021 National Center for State Courts State of the State Courts survey found that public trust in the courts along other institutions has been declining for some time. In that survey 64% of respondents said they had either a great deal of confidence or some confidence in their state courts. But that is down from a 2018 high of 76%. That same survey asked, "How much do you agree with the phrase that the state courts provide equal justice to all?" For the first time, state courts were slightly 'under water.' 46% said the phrase described the state courts well or very well, while 47% disagreed. In addition, this year, public confidence in The U.S. Supreme Court (symbolically the paragon of our court system), sank to 25%, down 31 points from its 1988 high. That year 56% had confidence in the Supreme Court. We've asked five individuals, both judges and court administrators, how do their friends and neighbors view the courts and why. We asked them about people they know; people who do not work in the courts. What are we looking to find out? · Has trust and confidence in the courts truly been decreasing? · Do people still rely on the fundamental fairness and impartiality of the courts? · If trust and confidence is decreasing what are the reasons? Today's Cohost Stacy Worby, State Jury Coordinator for the Alaska Court System Today's Panel The Honorable Yvette Mansfield Alexander is the Judge with the City Court in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Judge Alexander earned her B.A. in Political Science from Grambling State University and earned a J.D. from the LSU Law Center in 1979. After law school, she worked as counsel for the Louisiana State Legislature, Louisiana State Senate, East Baton Rouge Parish Public Defender's Office and was an Assistant Attorney General for the Louisiana Attorney General's Office. The Honorable Ed Spillane is the Judge with the Municipal Court in College Station, Texas. Judge Spillane has served in this position since May 2002.

Bass Cat Boats was formed in 1971 in Rick's parents, Ron and Jan Pierce's two-car garage before eventually moving in 1972 to its present location. Rick Pierce started at Bass Cat when he was 13-years old with a passion for bass fishing and building boats and quickly earned a reputation for designing fast boats with incredible fiberglass finishes. Today's Bass Cat Boats, led by Rick, employs over 100 people and offers a myriad of different models of boats across three different levels. Bass Cat has also won multiple awards, including 5 J.D. Power Customer Service awards for quality, service, and performance.   Rick joins me on the show today to discuss why he is so committed to growing a caring company culture at Bass Cat and what they do for their employees to make them feel valued in the business. He also shares why his father, Ron, the founder of the company, was initially reluctant to have him join the family business and how he came to realize that it was Rick's passion. Rick also shares why it is vital to him to embrace the abundance mindset and the philosophy of giving, rather than jealously guarding information and resources.   "Do the right thing, have a reason for everything and be thorough in what you do.” - Rick Pierce   “We've got values in this business - we've always had values.” - Rick Pierce   “At about the end of the day, it's all about people.” - Rick Pierce     This week on The Wow Factor: Rick's first role at Bass Cat and why he ended up taking over the company The mentors he had at the company and what they taught him about being part of the team What Rick learned about being a leader from his Father How the Bass Cat merger with Correct Craft came about and why it was a long journey Rick's close relationship with his Grandfather and the value of community and family How Rick's faith intersects with his life at work and beyond Rick's three core values in life and in business Some of the trials and tribulations that the company have endured over the years and what they have learned from their mistakes Why one of the best things Rick ever did, was also one of the worst things he ever did   Rick Pierce's Words of Wisdom: Do the right thing, plain and simple.   Connect with Rick Pierce: Bass Cats Website Bass Cats on Instagram Bass Cats on Twitter   Connect with The WOW Factor: I Like Giving: The Transforming Power of a Generous Life by Brad Formsma Words of Wisdom Website Brad Formsma on LinkedIn Brad Formsma on Instagram Brad Formsma on Facebook Brad Formsma on Twitter

COOPs and the Coronavirus: The Lessons May Surprise You Courts are now in the midst of reopening, yet the Coronavirus is still very much with us. Right now, the United States has had over 2.3 million confirmed cases with over 26,000 new cases reported just yesterday. We have experienced 121,000 deaths from the virus and new projections predict that we will top 200,000 by the fall. In over a third of the country, the infection rate is actually increasing. This alone makes this crisis different from any courts have ever faced before. If it were a hurricane, a tornado, or an earthquake, within a few hours to a few days, it would be over; efforts would turn to clean up and repair. We still cannot do that yet, even though the country is working hard to return to normal.

Your Court Restarting Trials? Here’s What Works As courts are reopening, many have already held their first trials. Others are planning to start trials in the next month or two. Whether they are conducted in-courtroom, or via video conference-calls, trials are going to look different for some time into the future. What will change for those coming to the courthouse? What will a trial on a video conference-call look like? To help manage this process, The Federal Judiciary just released a report on June 4 titled, “Conducting Jury Trials and Convening Grand Juries During the Pandemic.” The panel discusses the experience of courts that have already held some trials; others courts that are starting up pilot programs in their states; the dramatic increase in the space needs for jury trials (it is currently taking three courtrooms to hold a single trial); supplemental jury questionnaires specifically addressing jurors and the Coronavirus; masks, goggles, and gloves, disinfecting routines; videos describing what courts are doing to keep jurors safe, and even the possibility of video conferencing the voir dire.

Budget Strategies: What Have We Learned from the Lockdown? About three weeks ago, May 14, 2020, the financial crisis was looming, but the details were still vague. Since then several courts have been forced to begin budget cuts that have included layoffs and furloughs. Yet even now all we can say about the national situation is, it remains fluid. Dread over the upcoming economic statistics turned to excitement on Friday, June 5th as the unemployment numbers were better than expected. Still, unemployment remains well above the highest numbers seen during the 2008 recession. What do we know now after several weeks have gone by? Have courts adapted their plans to the changing economic situation? This week panelists are asked a question by listener Jeff Barlow on the difference between the “thin the soup” and the “ration the soup” strategies for court budget reductions. The panel also talks about how to manage through layoffs and employee furloughs; charging for establishing time payment schedules; extending those schedules out to help defendants through the recession; coping with an expected increase in default judgments, landlord-tenant disputes, and home foreclosures; finally panelists predict what the next 12 months will hold for the courts.

Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) has already brought us general business tools that courts can use to assist in automating work, analyzing documents, and conducting legal analysis. As a start, courts will need to put their information into an electronic format that can be used by A.I. tools. They will also need to re-engineer their business practices. Small courts will have to be assertive in making their needs known. But, exactly how will A.I. tools help courts and what will we, as citizens, give up in privacy in order to maximize A.I.’s potential?

**Q5** se formaron en 1983 con la unión de músicos de dos bandas conocidas de Seattle: el vocalista Jonathan K y el guitarrista Floyd Rose de The C.O.R.E. y Rick Pierce (guitarra), Evan Sheeley (bajo) y Gary Thompson (batería) de TKO. En 1984 lanzaron su debut, **Steel The Light**, a través de Music For Nations recibiendo un reconocimiento a escala internacional que les permitió girar con Twisted Sister, Y&T y Lita Ford.
