Below are a few examples for attorneys who represent children and parents to consider in their trial court and appellate advocacy. Enforce the reasonable efforts provisions. Federal law requires the child welfare agency make reasonable efforts to prevent placement of children in foster care and to finalize the permanency plan if the child is placed. A recent article by Jerry Milner and David Kelly of the Children’s Bureau reinforced the experience of many: The reasonable efforts provisions are not often invoked to leverage service delivery at the trial court or fair hearing level or at the appellate level, so that obligation can be clarified and enforced. Enforce the requirements for fair hearings. Attorneys should advocate zealously for reasonable efforts to prevent removal or, if the facts warrant, for a finding that reasonable efforts have not been made. Federal law and regulation require that states provide a mechanism for fair hearings for denials of service and benefits under Title IV-E. Failure to provide appropriate pre-placement prevention services are among the issues that can be challenged in a fair hearing. Fair hearings provide an additional forum to consider challenges that could result in the improvement of prevention and reunification services for families with older youth who are not being served in a manner that responds to their needs. Because the FFPSA funds only two categories of prevention services and requires that they be evidence-based, the reasonable efforts requirement continues to be a vital legal requirement that can help ensure specific prevention services to families. When lawyers bring challenges in a coordinated way (such as organized efforts to identify cases for appeals and fair hearings), they can move jurisdictions to prioritize investments in prevention.

Is there a way for legal organizations in a given locality to access this funding in the eventthe local IV-E agency decides not to seek federal funds for representation for children andparents?o No. Funds must be claimed through the state IV-E agency. If you are an individualattorney or attorney organization interested in learning if your jurisdiction isplanning to take advantage of this funding opportunity, your best first step is tocontact your state court improvement program (CIP).
Will jurisdictions have to redirect IV-E funds from current programs or give up somethingto support legal representation for parents and children?o No. Title IV-E funds are an open-ended entitlement. The federal policy changemeans that new/additional IV-E dollars are now available to support high-qualitylegal representation for children and parents.

What funding is available to support legal representation forparents and children?A recent federal policy change provides a new funding source for legalrepresentation for parents and children.9 The change allows states to seekfederal reimbursement under Title IV-E of the Social Security Act for thecost of providing legal representation to eligible children and parents. Thepurpose of the funding is to invest in improving legal representation forchildren and parents.10Excellent resources exist explaining the details of this new funding.11Becoming knowledgeable about this funding source, raising awarenesswithin the child welfare legal community, and supporting efforts to lever-age it to improve representation quality in your jurisdiction are key judi-cial roles. However, elements of high-quality legal representation do notdepend on new funding sources, so it is equally key to ensure attorneysadhere to fundamental representation standards that guide their practice.1
Building a Multidisciplinary Legal Team: The role of social workers and peermentors in representing parents and children could be eligible for reimbursement whena multidisciplinary team addresses prevention. Funding is available for time-limitedprevention services for mental health, substance abuse disorder, and in-home parentskill-based programs for children or youth who are candidates for foster care

We now are thrilled to report on remarkable developments which should focus the field on the importance and ability of providing high-quality legal representation to parents in dependency cases. We have long believed two things about parental representation in child welfare cases:
Until now, we could rely only on personal experiences and anecdotes. No longer. In May 2019, a study commissioned by Casey Family Programs and jointly investigated by Casey, New York University, and Action Research was published validating this belief.[2]
Despite its importance in terms of the consequences poor parents and children suffer from coercive intervention in their families, the field has been undervalued for far too long.
Giving parents free representation by lawyers does more than advance social justice. It is a smart investment because it furthers the state’s goal of reducing the time children spend in foster care. The study showed
Despite its importance in terms of the consequences poor parents and children suffer from coercive intervention in their families, the field has been undervalued for far too long.
We are long past the time of regarding a parent’s lawyer as an antagonist to be tolerated only because the statute requires one. It’s now time to recognize parents’ lawyers and other members of the multidisciplinary legal team as allies to the system, committed to the identical values that drive it: Keep no child from his or her parents, for even one night, except when necessary to protect the child from a risk of serious harm.
Keep no child from his or her parents, for even one night, except when necessary to protect the child from a risk of serious harm.
Lawyering really matters and providing parents the right kind of legal representation in child welfare cases can mean the difference between preserving a family and seeing it permanently destroyed.

“A CASA is appointed by a judge to provide information directly to the judge—not to provide legal representation,” Milner said. “The policy specifically covers attorneys … and support staff that help prepare attorneys for the legal representation of a child or parent as part of an independent legal team.”

so this was something that was in the air was that if they mainstreamed white supremacy correctly they could get 00:06:13 people to buy into it and not back away because they were afraid of being called racist

They think that the secret to trading lies in the strategy, when in truth, it lies in their mental and emotional resilience.
Emotions play an important role in a successful trading strategy
Strategy needn’t be the purview of a small set of experts. It can bedemystified into a set of five important questions that can (and should) beasked at every level of the business: What is your winning aspiration?Where should you play? How can you win there? What capabilities do youneed? What management systems would support it all? These choices,which can be understood as a strategic choice cascade, can be captured on asingle page.
aspire to capture the cascade on a single page
The final strategic choice in the cascade focuses on management systems.These are the systems that foster, support, and measure the strategy.
Measuring resonated with me. It gives a sense that management is about measuring and indeed what can't be measured can't be controlled. Management is about controlling
Two questions flow from and support the heart of strategy: (1) whatcapabilities must be in place to win, and (2) what management systems arerequired to support the strategic choices? The first of these questions, thecapabilities choice, relates to the range and quality of activities that willenable a company to win where it chooses to play. Capabilities are the mapof activities and competencies that critically underpin specific where-to-play and how-to-win choices
Capabilities = activities and competencies that are the foundation to where-to-pay and how-to-win choices
To determine how to win, an organization must decide what will enable itto create unique value and sustainably deliver that value to customers in away that is distinct from the firm’s competitors. Michael Porter called itcompetitive advantage—the specific way a firm utilizes its advantages tocreate superior value for a consumer or a customer and in turn, superiorreturns for the firm.
How to win requires a competitive advantage: unique value proposition + deliver it
Where to play selects the playing field; how to win defines the choices forwinning on that field. It is the recipe for success in the chosen segments,categories, channels, geographies, and so on. The how-to-win choice isintimately tied to the where-to-play choice. Remember, it is not how to wingenerally, but how to win within the chosen where-to-play domains.
This choice is tightly coupled with "Where to Play": it's not only How to win, but it's "How to win within the chosen where-to-play domains"
The next two questions are where to play and how to win. These twochoices, which are tightly bound up with one another, form the very heart ofstrategy and are the two most critical questions in strategy formulation.
The two most important questions in strategy formulation are: where to play and how to win. They define the specific activities of the organisation.
At Olay, the winning aspirations were defined as market share leadershipin North America, $1 billion in sales, and a global share that put the brandamong the market leaders. A revitalized and transformed Olay wasexpected to establish skin care as a strong pillar for beauty along with haircare. Establishing and maintaining leadership of a new masstige segment,positioned between mass and prestige, was a third aspiration.
Concrete winning aspirations
The first question—what is our winning aspiration?—sets the frame for allthe other choices. A company must seek to win in a particular place and in aparticular way. If it doesn’t seek to win, it is wasting the time of its peopleand the investments of its capital providers. But to be most helpful, theabstract concept of winning should be translated into defined aspirations.Aspirations are statements about the ideal future. At a later stage in theprocess, a company ties to those aspirations some specific benchmarks thatmeasure progress toward them
You must aspire to win otherwise you're wasting people's time
Consider the salesperson in the Manhattan store. She defines winning asbeing the best salesperson in the store and having customers who aredelighted with her service.
I like this individual examples. It shows that it has to go up to there as well
The result is a set of nested cascades that cover the fullorganization (figure 1-2)
Strategy span the full depth of the organisation: starting at the corporate level, going through the brand or departmental level, and finishing at the individual levels
Taken together, the five choices, one framework, and one processprovide a playbook for crafting strategy in any organization.
To craft a stratagy in any organisation, one must: 1. Five Choices 2. Strategy logic flow framework 3. Reverse Engineering - Process

Adeyanju: That probably explains why you list a lot of altcoins—since most of your users are from emerging markets. But isn’t that too risky, considering these coins are susceptible to pump and dump schemes? Do you have measures in place to prevent or limit this susceptibility? Lyu: First, traders and investors must understand the risks and take personal responsibility before making investment decisions. The basic and most important recommendation is to check all the information about an asset and not buy coins that grow in price very quickly. In the investment field, risk and return are equal; expecting high returns will inevitably entail high risks That said, at KuCoin, we focus on quality while trying to bring a wider range of promising coins to the public. We have an expert research team who complete due diligence before listing coins, which ensures that we can prevent our users from most scams in the industry. But as I said before, this industry is full of uncertainties—including market impact and human factors. Users still need to understand these uncertainties before investing.
Adeyanju: Was this strategy of listing altcoins pivotal to growing your userbase to the 18 million users you mentioned in your recent fundraising announcement? Lyu: Yes, that’s right. Listing promising altcoin is a big part of our strategy. From the early days, we figured that, while bitcoin and ether will continue to be the major tokens, most traders will want access to more tradable assets. That’s why KuCoin is one of the few exchanges that started to list many promising altcoins. But alongside this, we also spent the bear market of 2018/2019 strengthening our infrastructure and product offering. We introduced many new features like margin and futures trading, and we are also one of the first platforms to introduce staking services for proof-of-stake tokens. We also followed the market trend and introduced our own launchpad platform. These initiatives helped us attract many new users when the recent bull run arrived. Adeyanju: I’d like to go a little deeper into your strategy of listing altcoins. But let’s spend some time talking about where you’re headed as an exchange, especially after recently securing $150 million in funding. What’s next? Is there going to be a change of strategy? Lyu: In general, we will continue to be the people’s exchange just as our slogan says, and this means we will evolve ourselves on the basis of the needs of our customers. We will continue to find and offer the next crypto gem on our platform. Also, the industry is still in its infancy, and we need to bring in more users. KuCoin is focused on onboarding as many users as possible. I believe three major barriers prevent new traders from starting their crypto journey. The first one is policies and regulations. The second one relates to on-ramping from fiat to crypto. And the third one is about how to start the first trade. For the first part, the regulation part, KuCoin is trying to apply for licenses in many markets, and we’ve already gotten some of them. We are trying to expand our fiat on-ramp gateways for the second part. In November, we launched our fiat account feature, which allows users to deposit fiat such as euro and US dollar to the platform. We’ve also announced another fiat improvement relating to our integration of SEPA, which is quite popular in Europe. For the third part, which is about making the first trade, we noticed that many new traders could hardly understand the order book as well as terms like limit orders and stop orders. So we are trying to offer a simplified interface for them. We’ve also noticed that those who know how to make a trade still struggle to make trading decisions. That’s why we’ve introduced social trading features called KuCoin S, which allows users to get to know more about how other people trade and to get to know what is happening in the market. All this info could help them to make better trading decisions—to improve their chance of making a profit. On the product side, we will invest in improving our offerings in terms of social trading because we believe this is the trend of the future.

Google killed SG&E about one year after Stadia launched, before the studio had released a game or done any public work. In a blog post announcing Stadia's pivot to a "platform technology," Stadia VP Phil Harrison explained the decision to shutter SG&E, saying, "Creating best-in-class games from the ground up takes many years and significant investment, and the cost is going up exponentially."
I suspect Google wanted faster, more measurable results than is possible with game development. There's a reason why tech companies are vastly more profitable than game companies.
I don't particularly see the shame in changing a strategy that isn't working. As an early user of Stadia I do see the lost potential though, maybe that's where this is coming from.

Saving Your Wallet With Lifecycle Rules Of course, storing multiple copies of objects uses way more space, especially if you’re frequently overwriting data. You probably don’t need to store these old versions for the rest of eternity, so you can do your wallet a favor by setting up a Lifecycle rule that will remove the old versions after some time. Under Management > Life Cycle Configuration, add a new rule. The two options available are moving old objects to an infrequent access tier, or deleting them permanently after
S3 object versioning Many of the strategies to be discussed for data durability require S3 object versioning to be enabled for the bucket (this includes S3 object locks and replication policies). With object versioning, anytime an object is modified, it results in a new version, and when the object is deleted, it only results in the object being given a delete marker. This allows an object to be recovered if it has been overwritten or marked for deletion. However, it is still possible for someone with sufficient privileges to permanently delete all objects and their versions, so this alone is not sufficient. When using object versioning, deleting old versions permanently is done with the call s3:DeleteObjectVersion, as opposed to the usual s3:DeleteObject, which means that you can apply least privilege restrictions to deny someone from deleting the old versions. This can help mitigate some issues, but you should still do more to ensure data durability. Life cycle policies Old versions of objects will stick around forever, and each version is an entire object, not a diff of the previous version. So if you have a 100MB file that you change frequently, you’ll have many copies of this entire file. AWS acknowledges in the documentation “you might have one or more objects in the bucket for which there are millions of versions”. In order to reduce the number of old versions, you use lifecycle policies. Audit tip: It should be a considered a misconfiguration if you have object versioning enabled and no lifecycle policy on the bucket. Every versioned S3 bucket should have a `NoncurrentVersionExpiration` lifecycle policy to eventually remove objects that are no longer the latest version. For data durability, you may wish to set this to 30 days. If this data is being backed up, you may wish to set this to as little as one day on the primary data and 30 days on the backup. If you are constantly updating the same objects multiple times per day, you may need a different solution to avoid unwanted costs. Audit tip: In 2019, I audited the AWS IAM managed policies and found some issues, including what I called Resource policy privilege escalation. In a handful of cases AWS had attempted to create limited policies that did not allow `s3:Delete*`, but still allowed some form of `s3:Put*`. The danger here is the ability to call `s3:PutBucketPolicy` in order to grant an external account full access to an S3 bucket to delete the objects and versions within it, or `s3:PutLifecycleConfiguration` with an expiration of 1 day for all objects which will delete all objects and their versions in the bucket. Storage classes With lifecycle policies, you have the ability to transition objects to less expensive storage classes. Be aware that there are many constraints, specifically around the size of the object and how long you have to keep it before transitioning or deleting it. Objects in the S3 Standard storage class must be kept there for at least 30 days until they can be transitioned. Further, once an object is in the S3 Intelligent-Tiering, S3 Standard-IA, and S3 One Zone-IA, those objects must be kept there for 30 days before deletion. Objects in Glacier must be kept for 90 days before deleting, and objects in Glacier Deep Archive must be kept for 180 days. So if you had plans of immediately transitioning all non-current object versions to Glacier Deep Archive to save money, and then deleting them after 30 days, you will not be able to.

I learned about COPE from Karen McGrane.
COPE
So when I talk about adaptive content, I popularized a case study from NPR in which they outlined their catchily-named approach to publishing web content, which they called COPE. It stands for Create Once, Publish Everywhere. And in NPR’s model, they maintain a single content model for their article form. So in this content structure, they would have for an article a title, a short title, a teaser, a short teaser, several images attached to the article, an audio file, the body text, whatever metadata was attached to the article, and they could serve up a different combination of that more granular content based on the type of device someone was using.
Adaptive: Content, Context, and Controversy
For myself, Symphony was a proving ground for the COPE approach to content strategy and content management championed by Karen McGrane: create once publish everywhere.
Adaptive Content
COPE: Create Once, Publish Everywhere
With the growing need and ability to be portable comes tremendous opportunity for content providers. But it also requires substantial changes to their thinking and their systems.
WordPress & Joomla from the UIkit creators
I used one of these themes for the redesign of the Run for Water site. I transitioned away from Jamstack, because the organization is centred around volunteers, and it was important to empower them to easily make changes to the marketing front end of their organization. The WordPress theme has a beautiful interface for managing content. However, it goes against the philosophy of COPE (Create Once, Publish Everywhere), recommended by Karen McGrane in her presentations on Content in a Zombie Apocalypse.
My interest in the subject of Adaptive Content goes back to the days when Symphony was my tool of choice.

Without the personal involvement and interest of senior management, it is unlikely that these options would have surfaced. From a practical standpoint, they look like much too big an investment to serve the needs of just one customer. And think of the leverage needed to advocate and nurture such radical options through the existing Chevron structure. Isn’t it the stuff of which career-ending moves are made? But if the benefits for the mining company, the chemical company, and Chevron are large enough, any such investment can justify itself in short order. And that’s just one chain. Chevron is still investigating its options in this area, and its plans currently remain confidential. But imagine the degree of strategic freedom created for the company by these senior level insights. Chevron has moved away from the win-lose game of commodity negotiation and entered the win-win world of differentiation.
