This is a transformation picture I took of my brother and me. He resembles me pretty well, so I thought I would Photoshop my reflection into the photo to make it seem like he is looking at an older version of himself. Enjoy!

It’s 2018. By now, your organization surely realizes that digital transformation is no joke and an absolute must for business. The momentum is too great and companies unwilling to embrace digital transformation will find themselves at extreme risk of digital disruption and will quickly fall to irrelevance. Those that fully embrace digital transformation will find that it gives them a massive edge over their competitors regardless of industry.
So, what should you as a business leader consider as your organization races towards its digital future?
Photage 90: As the weather gets colder and the leaves begin to change it reminds me how the teen years are a time of constant transformation. The brain is developing, the body is changing, and emotions run wild. As a parent, this presents quite a challenge because there is a need to change with your teen while still maintaining a constant factor that your teen can rely on staying the same.
**Parent Challenge**
One of the most powerful ways to learn how to change with your teen is to simply ask your son or daughter, "How can I support you?" This allows for a constant (being supportive) and also includes your teen in figuring out the variable (how to support best). At first, your teen might respond with an "I don't know!" That's okay because most likely they won't know...at first. Continue to check in with them letting them know that you care about their opinion and the ideas will begin to come up. It's also helpful to look back on past situations and ask, "What do you think would have supported you best?"
p.s. Not a parent? This approach works wonders in marriages too!

The Transformation Lounge deals with the phenomenon of change and transformation and represents an effort to create a space in which two supposedly independent worlds can be represented, and despite their opposing views and objectives, can identify a middle ground to their mutual benefit. The space is designed to stimulate conversation about the values demanded by a more sustainable future with the final goal of redefining them and finding accessible ways of communicating them. At the festival itself, the *Transformation Lounge* constitutes a place where the discussion, previously outlined by the *Festival University*, is actively continued in public. It deals both practically and theoretically with processes of transformation, making them tangible in a variety of prototypes and methods.

Overview of Charters Towers History.
Until around 1900 this was the second largest city in QLD! It called itself “The World” and with good reason. The gold finds here lasted a good 40 years. The town had a long period of wealth and growth. And the town took itself to the world which was a first for any mining centre in Australia and for any city apart from the state capital cities. Because of the wealth in the town share brokers started businesses there in the early 1880s. They agreed in 1885 to form a group and establish a stock exchange – the only one in Australia that has ever existed outside of a capital city. Then in 1886 they took the city to the world- at the 1886 Colonial and Indian Exhibition in London. The set up a display of mining and ore crushing and they accepted £1 shares in various mining companies that operated in the town. It was a great success. One company is an example- Day Dawn Block and Wyndham- they received almost £500,000 in paid up shares to finance their future mining work! This exhibition put Charters Towers on the world map and was the first time London investors invested directly in Australian mines rather than through a London based share broking company or finance company. Some of the companies were duds but most were not. The peak gold yields from Charters Towers did not come until 1899 but these yields would not have occurred without the London finance for the deep shafts that were needed to reach to gold. The influx of money into the town transformed the place. The wooden structures, many dating from 1872 the time of the original gold finds were replaced with lavish and imposing stone and brick structures. The main street was rebuilt. Grand houses were built by the successful miners and the period from 1886-1893 was a boom building period. Prosperity was assisted by the development of the new cyanide gold processing works which produced even more gold for the miners and investors. The new cyanide works opened in Charters Towers in 1892. Fortunately we can still see some of this faded glory in Charters Towers today. But in the 1890s it was the best place to live in QLD outside of Brisbane. Thus it was not surprising that the Northern Mining Register newspaper wrote in 1897 that:
Most mining in Charters Towers ceased around 1912.
Discovery and Early Establishment of Charters Towers.
Hugh Mosman, whom we have heard of before on this tour, George Clarke, John Fraser and their Aboriginal horse boy called Jupiter Mosman were prospecting near Ravenswood in December 1871 when they found the first gold in the region. They registered their find as Charters Towers after Mr Charters the Gold Commissioner of the day and Towers because of the conical shaped stone hills (tors) near the site which looked like towers. A gold rushed quickly followed in 1872 with the birth of the town. Mosman and his mates discovered 10 gold reefs. Early finds were of alluvial gold but soon deep shafts were needed to extract the ore and companies were formed with money and capital to undertake this work. British investment led to the transformation of the canvas and wooden town into a fine stone metropolis occurred after 1886 as explained above. The gold at Charters Towers was the major find in QLD and an important find for Australia. By the end of 1878 there were 12 mills processing ore in the town. The Venus Battery works which started operations in 1872 operated right through until 1972. For most of the period from the mid 1870s up to 1906 gold exports from QLD exceeded those of the other major QLD export - wool. QLD certainly had much more gold than NSW but much less than Victoria although not all QLD gold came from Charters Towers. During its peak years over 200,000 ounces of gold a year were mined in Charters Towers. Although the mining companies closed down operations in 1912 individual miners continued working the field right up to World War Two and the old cyanide ore dumps from the battery works have been reworked since then.
The Times Square Transformation is a major capital project with one driving goal: to ensure that Times Square is designed to reflect the bold, cutting-edge spirit that has long-defined the Crossroads of the World while still catering to the needs and capacities of a 21st Century urban space. Beginning in 2012, the City will upgrade the infrastructure below Broadway and 7th Avenue and redesign the Broadway pedestrian plazas, turning what is now painted asphalt into a world-class piazza.
The plans for the Transformation have been designed by Snohetta, with consultation by the Times Square Alliance and the Department of Transportation.
Throughout the construction, the Times Square Alliance will provide real-time updates to Times Square residents, businesses, and other interested parties.

HUMPHREYS GARRISON – Soldier Show entertainers perform during the 2010 U.S. Army Soldier Show, before a packed house in the Super Gym, here Nov. 18. Besides singing versions of current songs and old favorites, the entertainers also featured tributes to Irving Berlin and Michael Jackson. Berlin conceived and directed the first Army Soldier Show “Yip Yip Yaphank” on Broadway in 1918. The motto, mission and philosphy of the show – “Entertainment for the Soldier, by the Soldier” – was established by Berlin as well. The modern version of the show originated in 1983 as an outgrowth of several shows existing in various Army commands, with Soldier talent selected from worldwide competition.
