Some people think of organizational alignment as "getting people to buy in" with an idea that is already formed. This may be useful sometimes but I don't think it's optimal.
Alignment is the process of synthesizing varied opinions and viewpoints on a subject.
Getting alignment on "why we're doing this is not about getting everyone to see "the right answer" so much as incorporating everyone's viewpoint into a "shared vision" of what that means.
Cultural alignment can mean "same thing" as in, "we are all driving toward the same goals" (true north) or it can mean "same way" as in, "we do things consistently."
A flock of geese does both -- can a modern organization work in the same way without stifling creativity?

These images are from two very similar projects that I've just helped my friends with. They want to be able to hold bike frames on their alignment tables by the head tube. They both purchased used bench centers, and we had to make bull nose centers for them.
The fit up needed to be very close, so we were working to within a few tenths.
The other complication was that one of the centers on each set was spring loaded and utilized a rack and pinion to withdraw it... so we had to mill those rack gears.

Started off by prepping the paper with gesso just to give it a bit more tooth (the paper I'm using is a bit cheap).
Wrote words with a 3B pencil all over. Started with the big red shapes, then added some green.
Decided (probably too consciously) to do a figure. Added more green around her head.
Got stuck quite a few times, then hit on lilac coloured hair. Got stuck again, decided to make her body white.
Struggled to know what to do, so eventually just stopped.
I found this a lot harder than abstract as I just didn't know where to go with it.
Still enjoyed it though!
Venus, Jupiter and Mars were almost perfectly aligned! It was a stunning planetary alignment this morning. Brrr, it was a bit chilly out this early. Pic taken from around San Jose, CA from my backyard. (Wednesday very early morning, October 21, 2015; 5:42 a.m.)
Venus, Jupiter and Mars conjunction synopsis:
Toward the end of October 2015, Venus, Jupiter, and Mars was to converge and form a broad triangle in the eastern pre-dawn sky. Look up between October 24 and October 29, 2015 to see the planetary trio, which would be formed when these three planets would come within 5 degrees of each other! The planets were to "align closest together on the morning of October 26", according to David L. DeBruyn, curator emeritus of the Roger B. Chaffee Planetarium at the Grand Rapids Public Museum. Indeed, planetary trios actually do happen fairly frequently, but a lot of them are too close to the sun to be easily seen. Without further ado, this month's conjunction was easy to spot with the naked eye, considering that Venus and Jupiter are the two brightest planets in the sky. Look to the eastern skies an hour or more before local sunrise to get a glimpse of this out-of-this-world triple conjunction.

STING sequences through vertebrate evolution.A.Multiple alignment of STING sequences from zebrafish and other vertebrates. Identical positions are boxed in black, conservative positions in grey and block of similar residues in light grey. The residues of the 5 putative transmembrane (TM) regions and the putative RXR ER retention motifs found in zebrafish STING sequence are boxed. Zebrafish (HE856619, this study), Danio rerio; human (NP_938023), Homo sapiens; mouse (NP_082537), Mus musculus; chicken (E1C7U0), Gallus gallus; xenopus (NP_001106445), Xenopus tropicalis. B.NJ phylogenetic tree of vertebrate STING. The tree was based on multiple alignments of full-length and partial STING amino-acid sequences from fish and other vertebrates. The tree is drawn to scale. Full-length sequence accession numbers are the following: EPC (HE856620, this study), Pimephales promelas; goldfish (JF970229), Carassius auratus, the others are listed above and partial STING amino-acid sequences were deduced from the following EST sequences: salmon (GE786872), Salmo salar; weather loach (BJ827384), Misgurnus anguillicandatus. C.Conserved synteny around the TMEM173 gene in zebrafish, mouse and human. The location of the different markers and the chromosomes involved are indicated for the different species.

Advancing and receding contact angles are readily determined by inclining the substrate and allowing the drop to deform as a function of gravity. By mounting a ramé-hart goniometer on the optional Automated Tilting Base, it is possible to incline not only the substrate but the entire instrument, preserving perfectly the optics-to-specimen alignment. This technique greatly expedites such measurements. The Automated Tilting Base is fully software driven and is supported by DROPimage Advanced v2.3 and above. This option requires DROPimage Advanced.

Wall alignment. Site s40. Village of Hamdamigga (?sp): Very large site consisting of mud-brick mounds, rock-cut features into the natural limestone, scattered basalt blocks and fragments, and visible foundations of rectangular structures, mostly in limestone rubble, existing on both sides of the modern road. Like other sites of this nature, the modern settlement has shifted away from the ancient remains, which are used in part for the location of the modern cemetery. Two (modern) reservoirs exist here. (El Anderin, Syria).
Whilst I have the rear tub off (yet again!) I've applied filler to improve the panel fit. Previously I had forced the panels to line up by bolting the the rear wheel arch to the rear tub, and forcing the tub to pull out and meet the wheel arch. I decided this may not be a good idea as it may lead to the GRP cracking over time?
The rear edge had to be built up 10mm to fill the gap between the tub and the rear wheel arch.
I thought this was only going to be necessary on the near side, but had forgotten the off side had the same issue.
