a model prior to any physical construction. Such individuals have an amazing
ability to create a mental map of a new territory providing a strong sense
of spatial awareness for where they are positioned in relation to the
world around them. If you possess Visual-Spatial
Intelligence, you are also highly likely to be good at arts and crafts,
including design work. You may have an aptitude for architectural design,
or be an excellent map-reader who can create an image of a landscape from
the information on a map. You will probably find flowcharts and diagrams
useful ways of considering information. It is often easy to recognise
someone with Visual Spatial Intelligence, as they are able to navigate
easily and visually arrange new information. Visual Spatial Intelligence
is defined by Gardener (in ‘Frames of Mind’) as the ability
to perceive the visual world accurately, to perform transformations and
modifications upon ones initial perceptions, and to be able to re-create
aspects of ones visual experience, even in the absence of relevant physical
stimuli. The following skills
represent the core abilities of individuals with Visual-Spatial Intelligence: Spatial Awareness
- The ability to solve problems involving spatial orientations and moving
objects through space, such as finding ones way around, or manoeuvring
a car. Working with objects
- The ability to use strategic eye-hand co-ordination to construct,
arrange, decorate or fix things.

Top Tips For Managing Staff
Do you need help managing your staff? Please find below a few tips. Top Tips for Managing Staff
1. Communicate your goals and vision clearly. If your staff are unsure about what outcomes they are collectively pursuing, they will ultimately veer off course and be less effective as a unit. It is incumbent upon the manager to set the direction in clear, unambiguous terms. Soliciting input from the team will ensure a better rate of buy-in for the goals of the group. Ongoing communication and monitoring of progress is crucial. 2. Know what motivates your team members.

It is incumbent upon the manager to set the direction in clear, unambiguous terms. Soliciting input from the team will ensure a better rate of buy-in for the goals of the group. Ongoing communication and monitoring of progress is crucial. 2. Know what motivates your team members. Never assume that you know what drives the people in your team. Some people may respond well to financial incentives such as commissions or bonuses but others may not. For some it could be more important to have some time off or a simple 'Thank You' for the good work that they do. By getting to know your team on a one to one basis you can elicit this information and set incentives accordingly
3. Develop a 'coaching' style and attitude.

3. Develop a 'coaching' style and attitude. By developing a coaching attitude, you will be able to empower your staff to find the answers to their own day to day challenges on the job rather than telling them to do things your way. Employees will be more effective in the longer run if they are given the space to use their natural strengths and unique approach on the job. A 'directive' style of management will restrict the inherent potential of your team members. 4. Know how to give feedback.

If you would like a staff member to improve a certain aspect of their work, it would be helpful to remind them of the things that they do well. If you are only providing negative feedback, they will put up a wall of resistance and the message may not 'land' properly. Providing recognition and regular positive feedback is a vital part of maintaining a healthy team but this aspect is often overlooked. 5. Understand different personality types
To ensure good communication and understanding at all levels within the team, it would be useful to know more about your personality types.

Natural selection: On fitness | Inspiring Science
Natural selection: On fitness
20 Tuesday Mar 2012
Posted by sedeer in Evolution, Natural Selection
≈ 5 Comments
For the third part in my series about natural selection I’d like to address the concept of fitness. Thanks to the phrase “survival of the fittest”, fitness is quite a prominent idea in the popular perception of evolution. It was originally coined by Herbert Spencer after he read On the Origin of Species; Darwin adopted the phrase in later editions and it’s been popular ever since. Unfortunately, this glib phrase has often eclipsed a more accurate depiction of evolution, leading to some common misunderstandings. This confusion arises because “fitness” has a different meaning in evolutionary biology than it does in general usage. ( Have a look at the earlier posts in this series if you haven’t already read them; the first was about the different modes of natural selection and the second discussed selection mechanisms, focusing on sexual selection in particular.)

( Have a look at the earlier posts in this series if you haven’t already read them; the first was about the different modes of natural selection and the second discussed selection mechanisms, focusing on sexual selection in particular.) The common usage of the term “fitness” is connected with the idea of being in shape and associated physical attributes like strength, endurance or speed; this is quite different from its use in biology. To an evolutionary biologist, fitness simply means reproductive success and reflects how well an organism is adapted to its environment. There are several ways to measure fitness; for example, “absolute fitness” measures the ratio of a given genotype before and after selection while “relative fitness” measures differential reproductive success — that is, the proportion of the next generation’s gene pool that is descended from a particular organism (or genotype) compared with competing organisms (or genotypes).

The main point is that fitness is simply a measure of reproductive success and so won’t always depend on traits such as strength and speed; reproductive success can also be achieved by mimicry, colorful displays, sneak fertilization and a host of other strategies that don’t correspond to the common notion of “physical fitness”. What then are we to make of the phrase “survival of the fittest”? After all, if fitness just means “relative reproductive success”, then the phrase becomes “survival of the successful reproducers”; since evolutionary survival can also be understood as reproductive success, this simply becomes “reproductive success of the successful reproducers”, reducing the vaunted theory of evolution to a circular argument — a tautology.

Of course, evolution doesn’t actually reduce to a simple bit of circular reasoning. The flaw in this argument is the idea that “survival of the fittest” describes the mechanism of evolution. Fitness is just book-keeping; survival and differential reproduction result from natural selection, which actually is a driving mechanism in evolution. Organisms which are better suited to their environment will reproduce more and so increase the proportion of the population with their traits.

There is no circular argument because “fitness” is simply a measurement of survival (which is defined as reproductive success); it’s not the mechanism driving survival. Organisms (or genes or replicators) don’t survive because they are fit; rather, they are considered fit because they survived.

Organisms (or genes or replicators) don’t survive because they are fit; rather, they are considered fit because they survived. In my opinion, the gene-centered population biology view of evolution often fails to appreciate that fitness is just a metric. By treating changes in gene frequencies as the heart of evolution rather than as a readout of the process, this approach risks over-simplifying evolution in the interest of idealism. Fitness isn’t a property of a given gene or genotype; it’s always contextually dependent on the interaction between the gene of interest and a range of other factors. While I appreciate the oft-quoted importance of genes as fundamental units of replication, I think it’s a mistake to confuse the process of evolution with keeping count of replicators.

This approach has certainly generated valuable insights, but such a strict reductionist approach can also generate unnecessary constraints. Realizing that fitness is simply a metric of the underlying process of natural selection does more than just liberate evolutionary biology from false accusations of circular reasoning; it also provides the intellectual space to discuss and consider things like macro-evolution and selection operating at different levels. These subjects, which touch on aspects of theoretical & experimental biology as well as philosophy, seem to be an endless source of controversy and debate, so I’ll save them for a future post (perhaps), though I’m also happy to discuss them in the comments.

Last year, I wrote about how some ants can find their way home after finding food . They have the remarkable ability to account for all the twists and turns they made while foraging and calculate a direct path leading straight back to their nest. A reader emailed to ask if I thought humans would ever be able to do something similar or to achieve the level of co-ordination shown by ants. This post is based on my reply, where I pointed out several things that humans are amazingly good at doing — in fact, we do them so well and with such ease that you might be surprised by how difficult they actually are! I’ve spent a lot of time on Inspiring Science talking about behaviours and abilities which show that other animals aren’t just simple automata because I think it’s important to make the point that although humans are unique, we aren’t special; we’re just another species with our own particular tricks for surviving in this world. I’ll take a different tack in this post and talk about some of the ways we stand out! Do you think we’ll ever achieve the same efficiency as ants — e.g., to be able to find the shortest path back without actually doing the math?

It might come as a surprise, but we already do this sort of thing all the time. We may not all be very good at path finding, but most mature humans are able to catch an object that’s thrown towards them. We do it reflexively and don’t usually think about the computational effort it would take to explicitly calculate the path it will take. Based on just a few visual cues (and some experience), we account for things like the aerodynamics of the object, the force of the pass, the angle of the throw, and so forth. It’s actually pretty amazing once you think about it.

Not only that, but we can instantly pick out a friend’s face in a crowd or recognize their voice against the background buzz of a party. That sounds pretty trivial unless, like Steve Royster or KH, you can’t do it for some reason. Recognizing faces and voices are both computationally challenging tasks which are essentially effortless for a healthy human being.

In fact, we can still do these things pretty accurately even if the voice is a bit different ( e.g., because of illness or a bad phone connection) or the face is distorted . We can even pick out, recognize and understand a voice when it’s mixed in with a couple of guitars, a keyboard, and some drums. We’re also quite good at reading subtle clues in a person’s face, voice, or body language to gauge how they’re feeling, a trick which animators and advertisers take advantage of to bring their characters to life.

The last example I’ll give is our use of language. Producing words takes an impressive co-ordination of many, many muscles, but our ability to understand what we hear is also pretty amazing.

The last example I’ll give is our use of language. Producing words takes an impressive co-ordination of many, many muscles, but our ability to understand what we hear is also pretty amazing. We get a continuous stream of sound as an input and manage to instantly break it down into recognizable chunks which carry meaning and construct images in our mind. Most of us don’t have to think about how incredible these abilities are, but people with aphasia can have difficulty coming up with and producing words or even understanding a language they know. These are all examples of complicated computational tasks which are so easy for humans that we often don’t realize how hard they are or how efficiently we solve them. To my mind, this is probably very similar to how ants “calculate” the shortest path home from a food source or how other animals solve other complex problems. It’s interesting that several of the examples of human efficiency have to do with social interaction — facial & vocal recognition, language, etc.

Recognizing a face or using language might not seem quite the same as optimizing a path, but they are the sorts of things that humans excel at. Could we train the human brain to excel at other tasks instead? I don’t know. The brain is amazingly flexible, so we probably could.

Some people who’ve lost their sight have learned to navigate by sound ( i.e., to echo-locate like bats or dolphins). It’s possible that a specific sort of programme could train humans to excel at unusual tasks like path-finding, but I would imagine it would have to be in response to a strong need or a conscious and planned manipulation. Do you think humans can ever achieve that sort of coordination or discipline? Again, language is an excellent example of the sort of impressive unconscious coordination humans are capable of. Not only do we all learn a language, but we constantly reinvent it together through use.

New words, phrases and styles aren’t usually the result of a decision by a central authority; they tend to emerge organically from the spontaneous behaviour of large groups of humans. A similar argument could be made for art. Nobody planned the transition from impressionist music through blues and jazz to rock; it just happened as a result of thousands of independent decisions and urges in many different musicians.

Nobody planned the transition from impressionist music through blues and jazz to rock; it just happened as a result of thousands of independent decisions and urges in many different musicians. It was “in the air” — in other words, it was an unconscious coordination of their behaviour. I guess the question might be whether we could harness that sort of unconscious coordination to improve the way we work or produce things. My feeling is that this is something that would be
challenging with most traditional labour roles and structures. The cases where you do see this kind of behaviour are things like art, language, culture,…perhaps science, too. It might also be reflected somewhat in the Open Source movement.

Jackie Robinson Paved the Way for Black Athletes
By bernadine
Posted on June 15, 2016
When Jackie Robinson signed up to play for the Brooklyn Dodgers, he made history and broke barriers in Major League baseball. His first season as a player, he won the National League Rookie of the Year and was instrumental to the Dodgers at the National League Championship. He won Most Valuable Player in 1949 and then was inducted to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962. However, despite his talent as a baseball player, Jackie Robinson still received a torrent of insults because of his race. He lived in a time when racial hatred ran deep in the vein of America and Black Americans were treated as second-rate citizens denied of basic rights. It was through courage and trust which allowed Jackie Robinson to deal with the taunts and threats with such grace. When Dodgers president Branch Rickey offered Jackie Robinson a chance to break the colour line in sports, he asked him not to respond to the abuse he would face. “ Three years, Mr. Robinson” he says, “Three years. That’s what I’m asking you. At the end of those three years, I give you my word you can say and do what you want.

That’s what I’m asking you. At the end of those three years, I give you my word you can say and do what you want. Because, if you do what I say, there will be more and more black players in baseball.” Rickey knew that Jackie is a fighter and is quick to stand up for himself. In fact, he was court-martialed during his army service because he refused to move at the back of the bus when the driver ordered him to. But Jackie knew that it was for the best and remained committed to their agreement, and this was what changed the course of sports in America forever. There were no other Black American athletes playing in any of the American sports, and so the burden on Jackie Robinson was definitely huge.

Some Dodgers members like Eddie Stanky voiced out their unsupportive sentiments. During games, opposing players would try to hurt him by throwing the ball at him or aiming the spikes of their cleats at him. To make things worse, Jackie did not perform very well in his first four games. In a game against the Phillies, the opposing manager told his players to take a shot at Jackie or else they will be fined $5000 each. They rained insults towards Jackie, but in spite of this, he was able to lead his team to victory.

Surprisingly, Eddie Stanky was defending him all throughout — the same guy who led the petition to remove Jackie off the team. Soon after, all of his teammates began to support him, admiring his skill and strength of character. His first season was a complete success, not just in the game but also in drawing people in from all races to see him play. His season paved the way for two other Black Americans to join the Majors. Throughout his career, Jackie Robinson became a pivotal part of what made the Brooklyn Dodgers the team to beat.

After his three-year pact with Rickey, he was able to act against racism openly and paved the way for the Civil Rights Movements. Because of his outspokenness, the achievements of Black athletes, and the support of other players, he saw a peaceful integration in baseball. Jackie used the same tactics when he directed his attention to corporate America giving Black Americans employment opportunities. “A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives”, he said, and no other athlete has impacted the lives of many people than Jackie Robinson.

Historical Stories
Ronald Reagan, From Actor to President
By bernadine
Posted on June 15, 2016
Most politicians are bred from the get-go. Their path, serving one office and then moving up to another, is one that’s often paved before they even graduate from university. This is especially true for the men lucky enough to have held the highest position in the land – President of the United States. While many had similar occupations beforehand, being lawyers and Army Generals, only one turned from actor to president. This man was Ronald Reagan. Family, childhood and life as a young adult
Ronald Reagan had a small family that wasn’t very well off. He grew up with one older brother named Neil, his father Jack and his mother Nelle. While Ronald was born in Tampico, Illnois, his childhood was truly molded as his family settled down in Dixon. Both of Ronald’s parents were democratic and incredibly religious. He followed his mother’s footsteps, joining the church of the Disciples of Christ as his older brother Neil was raised as a Catholic just like their father.

Some say that Ronald got his political chops from his father who was a dedicated Democrat. At a point in time he was appointed as director of “Works Progress Administration” for his contributions, an agency that gave jobs to the jobless under the Roosevelt administration. Ronald had always been active throughout high school and college. He graduated from Dixon High School in 1928 and enrolled at Eureka College in the same year. Throughout his schooling he played various sports such as football and baseball.

His first taste of politics was his stint representing students of Eureka as they held a strike to restore classes that was eliminated due to the college’s financial constraints. This led to the resignation of the college president. A Career in Media
Reagan was a natural on radio. His inexperience did not hold him back as he did radio commercial.

Reagan was a natural on radio. His inexperience did not hold him back as he did radio commercial. This soon progressed to being a staff announcer for a channel called WHO in Iowa. Reagan had a stable career path by the time he was doing sportscasts of “Big Ten Football” and recreating “Chicago Cubs” baseball games. This proved Reagan had enough charisma and personality for a radio, but he was about to find out he was good looking enough for film, too. He already had the acting chops from his theatre experience in high school, however him looking like an actor who recently passed away (one that Warner Brothers were trying very hard to replace) was pure luck. He met a Hollywood agent in California in 1937 by chance and that was it.

He became a huge Hollywood actor, noted for his works on films such as Knute Rockne—All American and Kings Row. His work was vast – from action films to light comedies. He was well loved in the industry for both his quality of work and his work ethic. Expectedly, he had the heart of Hollywood easily.

His Start in Politics
Past his acting prime, Reagan was still both active and influential in the Screen Actors Guild as he fought for better benefits and pay for actors. Having said that, his real dip into politics didn’t start until he did speeches for Republican presidential nominee, Richard Nixon. His real interest in policies had much to do with his financial stability. As he landed $1 million contract, he expressed resentment paying high taxes and shared the same sentiments with middle corporate middle managers. Reagan, at the time doing speeches for companies such as General Electric, slowly shifted his speech’s focal point from his Hollywood career to complete political ideology and importance of citizen’s individual freedom.

This spurred his bid for Governor of California in 1966, which he won. Reagan surprised his constituents by being reasonable and sensible. To address an inherited budget deficit he agreed to a tax increase. He worked with Democrats for property tax relief and welfare reform. His success as governor fueled his bid for presidency – a bid that divided his supporters.

This spurred his bid for Governor of California in 1966, which he won. Reagan surprised his constituents by being reasonable and sensible. To address an inherited budget deficit he agreed to a tax increase. He worked with Democrats for property tax relief and welfare reform. His success as governor fueled his bid for presidency – a bid that divided his supporters. While most agreed that he did well as a young politician, many felt that he needed more experience before gunning after higher office. Regardless, he won the Republican nomination and beat out President Jimmy Carter by a considerable amount. His Presidency
Reagan was lauded for both his work in foreign and domestic affairs. His goals were clear – reignite the economy, lower taxes, reign in federal government, and address the Soviet Union by building up the military. With the threat of a nuclear war on their heads, he wanted to negotiate from a position of strength.

With the threat of a nuclear war on their heads, he wanted to negotiate from a position of strength. The unforgettable attempt at assassination of the president had his ratings soaring. Sadly, a little later on the United Stated suffered from a depression due to a poorly passed economic program. The fact that revenue cuts ran deep as military spending soared had the country suffer, however the economy rose again in 1983 that helped Reagan focus on foreign affairs once more. Many milestones followed as his thrusts on foreign affairs became his worst and best legacies, however as he left office in 1989 it showed that he had the highest approval rating of any outgoing president since Roosevelt. Reagan – a considerably simple man – ended up taking the highest office in the land and left on a high note.

Franz Josef or Fox Glacier: Which Glacier Hike Is Better? New Zealand
February 1, 2011
by Andrea
Planning a visit to New Zealand? Check out our NZ stories and resources. Travellers to New Zealand’s South Island often visit at least one of either Fox Glacier or Franz Josef for guided walks, climbs or a combination of flights and hiking. Competition is fierce between the two guiding companies - so much that they won’t even speak each other’s names. If you don’t have time or money to visit both glaciers, you may be wondering which hike is right for you. The face of Franz Josef glacier
The face of Fox Glacier currently features a dramatic ice cave.

The face of Fox Glacier currently features a dramatic ice cave. We did the Franz Josef Glacier Guide s ‘Half Day Glacier Experience,’ followed by ‘The Nimble Fox’ all-day glacier walk with Fox Glacier Guiding three days later. Though we’re here in the summer, winter is the best time to visit the glaciers because it isn’t as rainy (glacier country is surrounded by rainforests).We arrived in Franz Josef to heavy rain and worried it would wreck our planned excursion. Apparently the guided glacier trips proceed in pretty much any weather, but we were thrilled to awaken the next morning to a beautiful sunny day for our half-day hike. For Fox Glacier we weren’t so lucky and steady rain fell on us pretty much the entire day. Our group climbs the steps on Franz Josef glacier.

For Fox Glacier we weren’t so lucky and steady rain fell on us pretty much the entire day. Our group climbs the steps on Franz Josef glacier. New Zealand’s glaciers flow almost to sea level and Franz Josef and Fox Glacier are accessible from the edge of the townships named for them. While visitors can walk almost right up to the faces of these giant frozen rivers on their own, a guided tour is a must for walking out onto the ice. Our Franz Josef guide told us that some very silly people have tried walking onto the glacier in jandals (thongs or flip-flops, if you like). And yes, people have died from falling on or off the glaciers, even on guided tours. This is completely avoidable if you stay with your guide on the path and follow his instructions exactly.

We felt very safe during both our hikes. Luckily, everyone in our group fit through this tight squeeze on Fox Glacier. The types of trips offered by each company are very similar. We showed up to the offices at the prescribed time and were suited up with our gear: a rain jacket, overtrousers, socks, boots, crampons, gloves and hats.

We showed up to the offices at the prescribed time and were suited up with our gear: a rain jacket, overtrousers, socks, boots, crampons, gloves and hats. At Fox Glacier we were also offered fleece jumpers, backpacks and alpenstocks (walking sticks with a spike at one tip). The equipment is similar. I preferred the boots at Fox Glacier because they fit me better but the overtrousers at Franz Josef were much higher quality. Provided backpacks are handy so your own doesn’t get soaked in the rain. But after the full-boot crampons provided by Franz Josef, I couldn’t believe the little spikes we latched on to the middle of the soles of our boots at Fox.

They were adequate but I much preferred the Franz Josef crampons. The disadvantage there is that we had to carry our crampons in huge waist packs that we continued to wear throughout the tour. Climbing up through a tunnel on Franz Josef glacier. We were then transferred to the glacial valley for a 30-60 minute (depending on the glacier) hike to the face. The difficulty of the hikes is probably about the same.

Climbing up through a tunnel on Franz Josef glacier. We were then transferred to the glacial valley for a 30-60 minute (depending on the glacier) hike to the face. The difficulty of the hikes is probably about the same. At Franz Josef we walked through a forest, a valley and then climbed a tall hill to reach the ice. The pre-ice hike at Fox Glacier is pretty much just a walk through the valley with a climb up a hill at the end to reach the ice. The face of the Fox Glacier is much more beautiful than at Franz Josef at the moment, however, with the rushing river spilling out from a huge blue ice cave. Free exploring on our Fox Glacier hike
The differences lie primarily in the glaciers themselves and how they are guided. Franz Josef extends 12 kilometres from the three glaciers that feed into it and the terminal face is 19 kilometres from the sea.

The differences lie primarily in the glaciers themselves and how they are guided. Franz Josef extends 12 kilometres from the three glaciers that feed into it and the terminal face is 19 kilometres from the sea. Fox Glacier is fed by four glaciers and falls 2,600 metres from the base of the Southern Alps to the West Coast. It is longer than Franz Josef at 13 kilometres and the gradient is less steep to climb. If you’re doing a heli-hike, Fox Glacier offers you views of Mounts Cook and Tasman. The guided hike at Franz Josef is on a pre-cut, pre-determined path while the paths at Fox Glacier are set by the guide on the day. Depending on the conditions, the group and the guide, the tour may vary.

Depending on the conditions, the group and the guide, the tour may vary. The glacier experiences are quite different from one another for this reason. We all took turns posing in a moulin on Fox Glacier. Fox Glacier is slightly less expensive than Franz Josef, however, visitors on half- and full-day walks on Franz Josef are offered complimentary access to the Glacier Hot Pools, which are fed with water from the glacier. The township of Franz Josef also has more accommodation and facilities than that of Fox Glacier, though the latter is very nice and has plenty of good places to eat. Aside from the ice climbing experiences, Franz Josef walks and heli-hikes claim to be up to an hour longer than those on Fox Glacier.

For us, the amount of time on Fox Glacier was plenty on our one-day trip as it gets quite cold on the glacier and a lot of energy is expended moving around. A group of visitors and guides working on Franz Josef
So which hike is better? The answer depends on what each individual is looking for. If a person has never done any hiking over loose terrain (or much hiking at all), I would recommend Franz Josef. The Fox Glacier experience is completely safe and suitable for beginners, but even with all my hiking experience, I still felt unsure of foot in several parts.

They baby you a lot more at Franz Josef. Our Fox tour moved very fast and felt like more of an adventure over rough terrain. While our guide constantly checked the track and made sure we were all safe and comfortable, he wasn’t always giving us specific instructions or slowing down the pace. John and I thought both of our guides were excellent and we saw some really beautiful formations on both tours. But Fox Glacier Guiding hosts fewer people and we preferred the more free-style approach to the tour that this allows.

It's huge and to safely go any higher a flight is required. Tips:

This was as far as our guide could take us on Fox Glacier. It's huge and to safely go any higher a flight is required. Tips: Dress warm. You may be dissuaded from wearing too many layers or hats and gloves in the summer, but if you’re a person who gets cold, I recommend wearing a scarf and hat. I caught a nasty chill on my neck at Franz Josef and had sore neck muscles for days even though it was sunny. Dress in layers so you can peel these off if you get too hot. Use their gear, especially if you’re travelling the next day and the weather is wet.
