**2 Shared by Smart Brief on Leadership – Great Leadership http://www.greatleadershipbydan.com/2016/12/trying-not-to-lose-is-different-than.html Thursday, December 8, 2016 Trying not to Lose is Different than Trying to Win Guest post from Michael G. Winston:
Today’s winning leader is not just here to weather the storm; they are here to completely change the game. To survive and prosper in 2017, companies must adopt a way of managing that is based on their capacity to learn and change—consciously, continuously, and quickly.
Anticipating and preparing for change is the essence of competitive advantage. The leaders who dominate in this new era will not only understand the changes affecting them, but they will seize them, master them, and use them to their advantage to achieve ever-higher performance.
While every leader plans and communicates their strategy before the competition begins, once in the race, it’s often necessary to make split-second decisions to redirect efforts. If you don’t notice the shifts in the wind and adjust quickly, you may lose your strategic options. Since opportunities come and go rapidly, you can quickly become a victim of changing circumstances.
Business flows in cycles: bulls follow bears; bears chase bulls. There is opportunity to enhance one’s competitive position in every phase of those cycles. Successful companies and leaders constantly search for market opportunities/threats and take quick, creative action. You can feel the organizational pulse rate by the speed with which they commit to action, allocating and reallocating resources (time, talent, and capital) to pursue opportunities. Decisions are made quickly, and vision is translated into action. People are recognized and rewarded for these practices.
However, many companies don’t seize opportunities prompted by change because they cannot see opportunities prompted by change. They are so busy making the most of yesterday’s opportunities, they cannot see today’s or create tomorrow’s. What worked in the past no longer guarantees success in the present, let alone the future.
New leadership is needed—leadership that goes against the grain, challenges conventional wisdom, and pushes the status quo. Developing the mindset and ability to embrace change is a considerable challenge. World-class competitors can do it. They know that change is accelerating and that in a time of constant change, the ability to learn and change faster than their competitors is a competitive advantage.
Many excellent companies fall from grace because business conditions shift and they fail to adapt. With fluctuating markets, proliferating technologies, and changing political frontiers, the challenge is no longer to manage growth. Now managers must cope with sudden shifts in the rules of the game. Are you ready? How will you handle sudden and radical changes in business conditions?
Many companies are still in survival mode after the 2008 recession. They are trying to survive, not grow. The same is true of some executives. Trying not to lose is far different than trying to win.
It’s time to lean forward and position yourself and your company for greatness and achieve world-class performance. Regain your Olympic-like competitive edge, rekindle your desire to compete and win. Place a premium on exemplary performance in all dimensions: quality, productivity, service, and value. Growth and innovation are not only possible but necessary during dark times. Here’s a snapshot of the difference:
TRYING NOT TO LOSE
Hold
Survive
Divest
Pause
Scarcity
Wait
Reduce cost
Delay
Consent
Imitate
Realistic goals
TRYING TO WIN
Build
Thrive
Invest
Pounce
Abundance
Anticipate
Add Value
Accelerate
Invent
Innovate
Stretch goals
Today’s winning leader is not just here to weather the storm; they are here to completely change the game. World-class competition is the ultimate proving ground of people, teams, and organizations. Just as we saw in this summer’s Olympics, competition brings together exquisitely prepared men and women in a pressure-cooker atmosphere—each of them vying for victory. The line between success and failure is often razor thin…no more than a hundredth of a second or a few millimeters. The winners will be those who best prepare both physically and mentally and give the extra effort that leads to victory.

**3 From the Federal Register Volume 81, Number 235 Wednesday, December 7, 2016
Proclamation 9550--International Day of Persons With Disabilities, 2016 Order of December 2, 2016--Regarding the Proposed Acquisition of a
Controlling Interest in Aixtron SE by Grand Chip Investment GmbH By the President of the United States of America - A Proclamation
Over a quarter-century ago, the United States enshrined into law the principles of equal access and equal opportunity for people with disabilities through the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which upholds the principle that each of us is entitled to a set of fundamental freedoms and protections. This progress has made America a leader in advancing the rights of people with disabilities around the globe. On International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we celebrate how far we have come in protecting the rights of those who live with disabilities and recommit to shaping a future in which all members of this community can enjoy their full rights and freedoms.
Building on the progress of the ADA, my Administration has taken important steps to remove barriers and eliminate discrimination based on disability. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, individuals can no longer be denied coverage because of a pre-existing condition or disability. We have supported increasing funding for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, reauthorized the Children's Health Insurance Program, and strengthened anti-discrimination and Olmstead enforcement at the Department of Justice. Additionally, we created the first-ever Special Advisor for International Disability Rights, and we established the United States Strategy to Prevent and Respond to Gender-Based Violence Globally in order to address violence against women and girls around the world-- because women with a disability are more likely to experience physical and sexual abuse than women without one. And last year, we committed to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, which recognize inclusive education, disability employment, and social acceptance of the disability community as important steps to ending world poverty.
Our progress at home reflects our full commitment to the rights of people with disabilities around the world. America was the first country to comprehensively address non-discrimination on the basis of disability in national legislation and declare that disability rights are human rights which must be recognized and promoted everywhere. In my first year in office, the United States joined 140 other nations in signing the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities--the first international human rights convention to fully address human rights in the context of disability. Now joined by over 160 States Parties, this Convention serves as a beacon of hope to the more than 1 billion people worldwide who live with a disability--a reminder that the need to protect disability rights does not end at our borders.
Regrettably, the Senate has still not provided its advice and consent for ratification of this Convention, and I urge them to do so and to uphold our global commitment to the international disability community. We have taken important steps forward to advance the rights of persons with disabilities, but the fight is not over. As long as anyone succumbs to casual discrimination or fear of the unfamiliar, we have more work to do to honor the many people with disabilities who have shared their stories of exclusion and injustice--and the millions more they spoke up for. Because of the advocates who have led the way, more individuals with disabilities can pursue their full measure of happiness. They have taught us that our world is far better off when all people can live up to their full potential--it makes all of us more whole, and it makes our world a better place.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim December 3, 2016, as International Day of Persons with Disabilities. I call on all Americans to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this second day of December, in the year of our Lord two thousand sixteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-first. (Presidential Sig.)

**4 Shared by Nicky Gacos, President NFB
Fred’s Head from APH, a Blindness Blog: iDentifi: Object Recognition for Visually Impaired
Apps used to recognize objects and/or read text for people who are blind and visually impaired have increased in number. We have discussed TapTapSee recently, an others exist as well.
This post details iDentifi, a new free app that attempts to describe objects and read text for people who are blind and visually impaired.
What is iDentifi?
Anmol Tuckrel, a high school student from Toronto, Canada, began work on the app about a year ago. According to a TechCrunch article, Tuckrel was fascinated by the possibilities of machine learning and computer vision. The app uses Google Vision, CloudSight and Google Translate, all trusted resources that can distinguish objects easily. These facts indicate that iDentifi uses artificial intelligence to identify objects whereas apps like TapTapSee use crowdsourcing.
Using the App
Before attempting to use the app, please note that you must be connected to the internet to use it. The app’s layout is quite easy to comprehend. Its initial screen contains four buttons, one in each corner of the screen--“Settings” in the top left, “Instructions” in the top right, “Select photo” in the bottom left and “Take photo” in the bottom right. Of course, if you flick left and right, you will locate the same buttons in the same order. Knowing their location, however, allows you to find the button you want without extra flicks or swipes.
Each button and the area surrounding it is brightly colored with a different color included for each button or area of the screen. As a result, people with low vision can distinguish the buttons easily, and individuals who use both VoiceOver and their remaining vision benefit since the app’s functionality is excellent in both cases.
Settings
If you press the “Settings” button, you first choose the language for all interactions with the app from the list of over 25 languages. Next is the mode button where you choose from “Images low accuracy”, “Images high accuracy”, or text. The low accuracy mode provides a general description of the picture you take and returns the quickest response. The high accuracy mode gives you a more detailed description of the image and requires more time for receiving a response. In text mode, the app tries to read the text from the image you’ve taken.
The final setting is speaking rate—how fast you want the app to speak to you when it reads its results; the settings are very slow, slow, normal, fast, and very fast.
Instructions
The instructions describe some of the app’s functionality and tell you the location of important buttons on the app. The instructions do not stay on the screen, but if you need to hear them again, double tap the instructions button a second time.
Select Photo
Selecting a photo sends that photo to the app; iDentifi then tries to determine what is in the photo. You must allow iDentifi to access your photos and also the camera. Once you hit the select photo button, you see the standard camera interface that you would use to send a photo to Facebook, include one in a message, etc.
Take Photo
When you double tap this button, you see a screen that mimics the standard iPhone camera screen with buttons for flash, viewfinder, camera mode, camera chooser, take picture, and cancel. If you are satisfied with the camera settings, double tap the “Take picture” button, located just above the iPhone’s home button. You will hear a sound as the phone takes the picture. You then can select “Retake” or “Use photo”, found on the bottom left and bottom right of the screen respectively. If you have usable vision and believe that your picture is not satisfactory or if you just want to use a different picture, select the retake button and start the process over.
If you tap on use photo, you hear the app say, “Loading”. At this point, the picture runs through the app for identification purposes. You can retake a picture as many times as you like, but you must hit the use photo button for the app to begin the identification process. All photos you take using this app are not saved. The identifications given by the app are not able to be reread and do not remain on the screen, but you can try the three-finger quadruple tap gesture to put the response on the clipboard and add it to a message, email, etc.
Limitations
Currently iDentifi is available on the iOS platform only; the developer plans to create an Android version in the future. Because the results of the picture recognitions are not shown on the screen, individuals who are deafblind and anyone using a braille display may have problems accessing the results. The app will read text and does a good job doing so. It will not replace an OCR app like KNFB Reader, though, especially if you store files for later reading. If you don’t need to store the file or go back and read it multiple times, iDentifi will work well.
The developer hopes to increase the available languages to close to 100 and wants the app to work in video mode. He appears to be responsive and open to suggestions so send them and help improve the app.
Finally, the only other limitation, as is the case with all camera apps, is the ability of each person to take a suitable picture. Fortunately, you do not have to have the camera perfectly centered to take a usable picture.
Conclusion
The iDentifi app is an excellent choice for anyone who is blind and visually impaired. It identifies objects quite well and reads text reasonably well also. Remember to turn the mode to text if you want the app to read text; otherwise, it will simply tell you there is text without reading it. The results with the mode set to high accuracy are very good; its descriptions of objects and their colors are quite helpful. You may find that this app also doubles as a color identifier, at least for basic colors. Would you like to see the app in action? Watch this short video and view another one included in the TechCrunch article written about the app. For more information about iDentifi, visit the website at http://getidentifi.com/#home-section. The site discusses the numerous awards and the press coverage the app has received and tells you how to get support or make comments about the app. Get the app at the following link or search for iDentifi on the app store; remember that the d is the only capitalized letter.

**7 From Terry Smith, NFBEI
Hello All: Below you will find 2 links to stories regarding the State of new York's efforts to sell items over-the-counter at a Long Island rest area. One article is a print story and the other is a news story that appeared on the New York NBC television affiliate. We were already gearing up for an effort in Congress to commercialize the rest areas. We have been hearing that such an effort is likely considering the strain on state budgets and the reluctance to raise taxes. In this article, you will note that the State of New York believes the current law that limits sales to only vending machines is antiquated. We can expect them to make a push to get the law changed.
Currently, blind vendors and SLA's operate vending at 1,098 rest areas. Two-thirds of these are serviced by 363 blind vendors and the others are operated under third party contracts. These contracts generate $5 Million annually in revenue for this state BEP's. Protecting the livelihoods of those 363 blind entrepreneurs and the revenue stream for the states will be our top priority.
We will keep you posted.

**8 From Vending Market Watch - NAMA's Eric Dell Recognized As Top Association Lobbyist DEC 13, 2016
(CHICAGO) December 12, 2016 –– NAMA announced that Eric Dell, NAMA Senior Vice President of Government Affairs, has been recognized as one of Association TRENDS’ 2016 Leading Association Lobbyists. Dell will be honored at the group’s Salute to Association Excellence event, February 23, 2017 in Washington, D.C.
Dell has worked with industry leaders, state councils and members across the country to develop and expand grassroots efforts at the local, state and federal level. In 2015 he launched the association’s annual D.C. Fly-In, which grew in attendance by more than 30 percent in 2016, connecting members with their legislators.
Dell has led efforts on major industry issues, including Calorie Disclosure, the metallic content of coins, energy regulations for beverage vending machines, and DOL overtime rules, providing guidance to members and building relationships with industry stakeholders and allied organizations.
“Lobbying on behalf of an association and industry comprised of businesses ranging from multinational corporations to small, family-owned businesses is exciting and rewarding,” Dell said. “Going to work every day to protect and promote these hard-working Americans and the jobs they create keeps our team focused. Our team is expanding NAMA’s footprint in D.C. by increased participation in our advocacy efforts. In 2015 we hosted our first annual DC Fly-In with more than 200 industry leaders participating. In 2016 it increased by 30 percent to more than 260 participants,” he continued.
“I try to live by three attributes that are important to being a successful lobbyist: 1) Your credibility is your most important attribute; 2) Bring people together across political party lines to create win-win solutions; and 3)You can’t do it on your own, it takes a TEAM to win,” Dell concluded.
Founded in 1936, NAMA is the association representing the $25 billion U.S. convenience services industry. With more than 1100 member companies – including many of the world’s most recognized brands – NAMA provides advocacy, education and research for its membership.

Looking for a healthy item? How about fresh apples? The problem with selling apples is the short shelf life and is usually unpackaged. Tree Crisp 2 Go solves this problem with three flavors of packaged apples available. People trust a product that is triple-washed and packaged for their protection. The packaging also allows for a 35 day shelf life ambient and 75 day shelf life if refrigerated.
