Mobile casino platforms have become a crucial part of the online gambling industry. With more and more online casinos adding mobile platforms, we have decided that one of our awards certainly has to go to the casino with the best Mobile Casino out there.
In order to make sure our awards go to the right hands, we need help from our community. Help us out by voting for the casino whose customer support department gave you the best experience in your gaming career. Feel free to leave a written review of the operator as well, pointing out why their support department thrilled you.
With the help of your votes, we can give out the awards to the most deserving casino operators out there and make sure that they know the award came from the players, not from another company. This way the casinos will know they are respected by the community and we will come closer to knowing for sure which is the best online casino in 2019!

Collect the points and make your way up the ranks of our community. The players with most points will end up with respect and renown of the entire community.
There are quite a few things to take into consideration when picking the best mobile casino out there. From the range of games available, devices they can be played on and mobile banking availability, all aspects must be examined before a true winner can emerge. Let's look into what's important in rating a mobile casino!
Compatibility: What use is a great mobile casino platform if I can't run it on my phone? Top mobile app must be available on multiple mobile devices and systems and can be downloaded and played in browser on the widest range of mobile phones and tablets.
Design and Speed: Surely we want an online casino to look good, but some operators go too far with this and make the mobile app sleek but slow. We want to find the best combination of fast yet good looking mobile casino platform that will allow users to enjoy the view, yet play the games as fast as they would on a desktop.
Games Availability: Very few mobile casinos offer as many games as their desktop counterparts and this is fine, but we want to award the casino that at least offers a solid number of games on their mobile platform. How many video slots, progressive jackpot slots and table games are offered by the operator? You will need to consider this before casting the vote.
Mobile Banking: Most online casinos will allow you to use cashier from your mobile, but some may restrict the payment methods you can use, or not award you bonuses when you use mobile devices. Others promote mobile banking by awarding additional bonuses to mobile players. The best mobile casino surely offers very good support to mobile casino banking.
Features: Which of the casino's features are available on the mobile platform? Is the mobile casino completely simplified or can you still use all of the operators functionalities on the mobile as well? Another important factor in choosing the best.
Live Casino: Live casinos inside the online casino platforms have become all the rage lately and the best casinos do what's necessary to allow you to play the live casino games from your mobile devices. This is not crucial to everyone, but having a live casino inside it may be one of the factors that makes the top mobile app stand out among others.
We are more than thankful for your cooperation in our awards process and we wish to award you for it, which is why every time you cast a vote, you will receive 5 Points. Get enough points and become a hot shot in our community! If you change your mind about a vote, you can always change it as well, but you will receive no further points for it.

Eliminating the 'mismatch' between job providers and seekers
Poverty Solutions, a new U-M interdisciplinary initiative aimed at preventing and alleviating poverty, announced that it will be funding projects as part of a collaboration with other community-based organizations. The projects tackle such multifaceted issues as access to health care, examining the impact of the Earned-Income Tax Credit and developing a transportation security index.
UMSI assistant professors Tawanna Dillahunt and Walter S. Lasecki (also of the College of Engineering) received one of nine Poverty Solutions grants for "Improving Employability via Physical Crowdsourced Tasks." Their research will focus on creating a computer-based tool to match underserved job-seekers with tasks and skills aimed at increasing their long-term employability.
The principal investigators will conduct their research in two phases. Phase one will consist of collecting tasks (from sites Gigwalk and Task Rabbit) and collecting skill sets from job placement groups (Guidance Center and Michigan Works!). It will also involve interviews with job seekers to determine which jobs the participants could perform. After the tasks are completed, Dillahunt and her team will rate a person's hire-ability based on the skills gained from carrying out the specified tasks.
In phase two, the researchers will build a model identifying the tasks a job seeker can complete based on the skills they have and the skills they need to further develop for a long-term job outlook. The team will then deploy the tool and see how well it works based on feedback from the participants.
The goal of this project is to find a platform for which to measure models for subsidizing employment in the future. The discussions with the local non-profits and job centers will showcase how crowdsourcing tasks on online platforms can help job seekers demonstrate their skill sets. The outcome of this project will show if individual, specific tasks, as opposed to a long-term job history, can be seen as evidence to a hiring manager of someone's ability to complete a job.
The funding is provided through a collaborative program co-sponsored by the Detroit Urban Research Center, a partnership among the U-M schools of Public Health, Nursing and Social Work; Detroit Health Department; Henry Ford Health System; and nine community-based organizations.

The book 'Nigeria is Negotiable,' a compilation of essays on Nigeria's tortuous road to democracy and nationhood, will be presented in Abuja next week.
The launch of the book, authored by Chido Onumah, a journalist and activist is slated for August 20 at the National Press Centre, Abuja. It will be reviewed by Nnimmo Bassey, Director, Health, Mother of Earth Foundation (HOMEF).
Onumah who is Coordinator of African Centre for Media & Information Literacy (AFRICMIL) said, in an exclusive interview with The Nation that the book is a compilation of his essays that had appeared in top Nigerian newspapers in the last 20 years.
Chido spoke on the need for the compilation of some of his essays into a book: "This, for me, is more or less like a lifetime work. This is a product of over 20 years of writings and I chose the topic deliberately."
The media guru who has also worked in Ghana, Canada, United States and Canada is an advocate of political restructuring of the country: "In the last 20 years of my political engagement, both at the level of being a journalist and a political activist, I have come to find out that the structure of our country is flawed and that a lot of the problems that confront us as a people emanates from the flawed structure of the country," he said.
"It's not as if there's no corruption, violence in other parts of the world but much of the corruption and violence in Nigeria is sustained because of the structure of the country. We claim to be a federal republic yet we do not live by tenets of federalism. My writings have reflected the thinking that we need to restructure this country. People should not misunderstand me; I am not saying if we restructure Nigeria, it would solve all our problems."
The book, according to the governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, "re-maps the contours of the remarkable events and processes that have brought our country, Nigeria, to this crucial juncture in its history, and particularly the crises spawned by June 12, 1993 elections and its aftermath, which have – to great extent – careered the country to this vortex of possibilities in its transition towards a more wholesome cultural and political expression."
'Nigeria is Negotiable' is a 460-page book that can be judged by its cover – it's a book for keep.
The author released his first book, titled 'Time to Reclaim Nigeria' published in 2011 which borders on the state of the nation and the quest to save the country from its unpalatable status.
Secrets are kept in the book, it's left for Africans to read it!

text: Scientists and journalists in communist Vietnam have spoken out against the dam projects [GALLO/GETTY] The first in a new series of 11 dams planned across the Mekong, South-east Asia's largest river, could break a special bond between two communist-ruled countries. Critics in Vietnam see red over a 1,260-megawatt hydropower project planned by their smaller, poorer, land-locked neighbour, Laos. They call it an environmental disaster. Laos, however, wants to be the powerhouse of the region – to sell power to its neighbours and earn enough to help the poor, that is a third of its population of 5.8 million. The dam in an idyllic hill setting in the north Laos province of Xayaburi (or Sayaboury), will be built by a Thai developer. Thailand is expected to buy 95 per cent of its power to fuel its booming economy. Environmentalists say the Xayaburi dam and 10 more such constructions planned on the Mekong's mainstream, nine in Laos, make a Faustian bargain. Communist opposition The dam will "reduce fresh water and silt downstream in Vietnam and devastate fishing among others," stated Tuoi Tre, the country's largest circulating newspaper paper, published by the Communist Youth Organisation from Ho Chi Minh City (former Saigon) in the south. The potential threat of the $3.5bn dollar dam in the Mekong delta, Vietnam's "biggest rice producing and fish farming area", has been highlighted by The Saigon Times too. Vietnam's government officials have raised their voice against the 32-metre- tall, 820-metre-wide dam. "If built, Laos' Xayaburi dam will greatly affect Vietnam's agriculture production and aquaculture," deputy minister of natural resources and environment Nguyen Thai Lai reportedly said in a meeting of the country's Mekong River experts. Such criticism goes against the spirit of a 1977 treaty of friendship and cooperation that binds them in a 'special relationship'. The treaty followed the communist triumph against the US in the Vietnam War. Towards the end of the Cold War conflict from 1954 to 1975 the communist North Vietnam defeated and annexed the US supported South Vietnam. The protracted conflict left a long trail of death and destruction in the former French Indochina territory that includes Laos and Cambodia. Scientific concerns "The criticism reflects the concerns and the opinion of the public and the government," said Nguy Thi Khanh, deputy director of the Centre for Water Resources Conservation and Development, an NGO based in the northern Vietnam city of Hanoi. Vietnamese scientists have also said "the project should be stopped," Khanh added during a telephone interview from the Vietnamese capital. "Vietnam's silence about this dam has been broken." For its part, the Laotian government is still sticking to its plan. "We are confident that the Xayaburi Hydroelectric Power Project will not have any significant impact on the Mekong mainstream," officials from Vientiane (the capital of Laos) have explained in a note to the Mekong River experts. Mekong experts from Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam – the four countries that share the waters of the lower Mekong - are meeting in late March to approve the Xayaburi dam plans. Laos has appealed to its neighbours not to place any roadblocks. The government does not want to raise the political stakes to the point of being compelled to get its dam blueprint approved by ministers or even prime ministers. "There will be no need for any extension of time and no need to forward this matter to the (ministerial) level," revealed the note by the Laotian government to Mekong River experts. River commission This dam issue has become the first major test of environmental diplomacy for the four countries in the lower Mekong, members of the Mekong River Commission (MRC). An inter-governmental body that came up after a 1995 agreement, the Vientiane-based body aims to manage the development of the Mekong basin in consensus. Any plan to dam the Mekong has to be scrutinised for its cross-border impact under a special mechanism, formally known as the Procedure for Notification Prior Consultation and Agreement (PNPCA). "This is the first time that we are going through the prior consultation process," said Jeremy Bird, MRC's chief executive officer. "Countries do not have a veto right (to stop a dam being built in a neighbouring country) yet countries cannot proceed without consultation." The MRC's members have to weigh the provision in the agreement that "a country cannot act irresponsibly to impact its neighbour" against every member's "right not to agree" and ability to "take its own decision," added Rudi Veestraeten, Belgium's envoy to Thailand. MRC is funded by Belgium, along with other European countries, Australia and Canada. Till now the 4,880-km long Mekong has remained free of dams along its journey through the basin, winding its way past Burma along the four MRC partners till it falls in the South China Sea in southern Vietnam. But upstream, the river's flow from its headwaters in the Tibetan plateau through southern China has been harnessed by four dams in China's Yunnan province, part of a cascade of eight mega dams the Asian giant plans. Local activists, environmentalists and even government experts of the lower Mekong are alarmed. The impact of the Chinese dams on the downstream countries has strengthened the campaigns led by Towards Ecological Recovery and Regional Alliance (TERRA), a Bangkok-based green lobby. TERRA warns that dams on the lower Mekong will affect the lives of 60 million people who depend on food and their livelihood from the river. "Laos has not helped its case because the government has refused to make public the EIA (environmental impact assessment) it has done for the Xayaburi dam," said Premrudee Daoroung, co-director of TERRA. "The Laotian government says it is a secret document." The dam blueprint puts red and green interests at loggerheads across an international border.

When I got home today, i fired up the dell and saw the sad news- Paul Newman, one of my heroes, passed away today. I think George Clooney said it best-""He set the bar too high for the rest of us. Not just actors, but all of us." So true- if more people were like Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, I can't help but think the world and this country would be a better place.

A lot has been written in recent weeks about the so-called "Series A Crunch" — the idea that many of the companies raising seed-rounds won't be able to attract that ever-so-important next round of capital. Now, here's a chart from Pitchbook which shows what is occurring.
As you'll see above, the number of seed-stage/angel deals has nearly quadrupled in the past four years. Meanwhile, series A financing rounds haven't budged much. Pitchbook notes that the ratio beween seed stage and series A now stands at 3.3 to 1. In 2008, that ratio stood at just 1.9 to 1.
I spoke to one entrepreneur last week who is stuck in this netherworld — struggling to raise a series A financing deal. It doesn't sound pretty.
In fact, CB Insights released a report last month which indicated that more than 1,000 seed-stage companies could be "orphaned" — meaning they won't be able to raise their next round of cash. That will lead to more than $1 billion in investment capital being "incinerated," which CB Insights noted was part of the natural selection that goes along with startups.
Pitchbook offers a few more details on what's going on:
"Some people fear that the growing size of VC funds and late stage financings could create a scarcity of capital for companies in early stage rounds. This fear is compounded by the fact that VC capital invested has outpaced fundraising for four consecutive years now. Others say that this is just a natural VC cycle, and we will see follow-on early-stage rounds pickup now thanks to the increasing number of companies receiving angel/seed funding."
The report also notes that not all seed-stage companies go on to raise a series A, with some entrepreneurs returning to their angel backers for multiple rounds. Let us know what you are experiencing on the fundraising trail? Good times? Tough times?

Last month, Babes & Beignets turned 3, can you believe it? 🎂🎂🎂 We really can't believe it's been 3 whole years of documenting the fabulous times we've had in NOLA and around the world, and 3 years of meeting some of our favorite people ever.
Although we would have normally celebrated this milestone by poppin' a $20 bottle of cava at The Columns #ballinonabudget, this year we've made it a point to incorporate fitness and wellness into almost every aspect of our lives.
And yes, we did have a boozy Babes & Beignets celebration. But this time we did it in a non traditional fashion: we took over Higher Power NOLA at The Beacon for a yoga and cycling class, and then went for healthy eats and a watermelon+vodka cocktail at The Daily Beet.
If you have an upcoming birthday celebration or bachelorette party, and you're looking for a way to celebrate that doesn't include a huge bar tab, keep reading 😉
Pick A Theme & A Spot
Think outside the box: no bars, and if you're going to do a restaurant (because duh, you'll need food and drinks) pick a place you and your friends haven't all been to before. We decided on Higher Power NOLA at The Beacon because we're pretty much obsessed with their classes, their instructors and vibe, plus they are one of the biggest Babes & Beignets fans ever.
The Daily Beet was just a 30 second walk away from Higher Power NOLA, and they fit into our healthy celebration concept. Acai bowls & freshly squeezed watermelon juice with vodka? #YAS
Get Some Fun Goodies
We don't know about y'all but goodie bags get us pretty excited. We wanted to give our guests items that would be useful for the fitness class, as well as after class, and that also wouldn't break the bank.
For our goodie bags, we had: a bottle of Evamor water, fun colored hair ties, Babes & Beignets koozies, and an $36 for your first 7 days at Higher Power coupon (PS: This is fab deal on classes for first time Higher Power customers is still going on).
Pick A Hashtag
You'll obviously want everyone to document the fun you're having. Have a cute hashtag that everyone can add into their posts.
#BabesTip: Print out a little flyer to display at your event, so no one forgets what the hashtag is!
Don't Forget The Snapchat Filter
If you don't have a custom Snapchat filter, did your event even happen? The answer is no 😂😂😂. Get your babes & bros extra excited about the celebration and create your own custom Snapchat filter (ours was only $11 for 3 full hours of amazing Snapchats). And no, we didn't have to hire a graphic designer to create ours; Snapchat now has a user friendly platform with easy to edit templates.
Special thanks to Higher Power, The Daily Beet, all the babes and bros that came out to celebrate #BabesTakeHP with us, and everyone who has been part of the Babes & Beignets journey. Here's to the next 3 years.

At its core, Total Quality Management (TQM) is a management approach to long-term success through customer satisfaction.
In a TQM effort, all members of an organization participate in improving processes, products, services and the culture in which they work.
The methods for implementing this approach come from the teachings of such quality leaders as Philip B. Crosby, W. Edwards Deming, Armand V. Feigenbaum, Kaoru Ishikawa and Joseph M. Juran.
A core concept in implementing TQM is Deming's 14 points, a set of management practices to help companies increase their quality and productivity:
The term "Total Quality Management" has lost favor in the United States in recent years: "Quality management" is commonly substituted. "Total Quality Management," however, is still used extensively in Europe.

- Simone Schimpf, CPA Student
I have been employed with BVA for almost 3 years, first working as a co-op student while I was finishing my University degree, and then as a CPA student where I worked towards attaining my CPA designation.
One of my favourite parts about BVA is the fantastic work place culture. The firm prides itself on community involvement and is dedicated to making sure they have a positive impact on our community. Volunteering is a big part of firm culture, and the staff are given a paid work day to volunteer and make an impact on our community. Social events are also important to BVA which ensures that staff members make memories together. My favourite part about working for the firm is the fun and friendly atmosphere that they promote; all of the members of the staff feel like family and are really invested in your well-being.
BVA also has a mentor program where you and a CPA are matched together and they are there to guide you throughout the CPA program and provide ongoing feedback at work. My mentor is always available to answer my questions and has assisted me throughout my entire CFE summer to ensure I was on the right track. Each person at BVA has an open-door policy and is always willing to answer any questions you may have no matter what time of the day.
BVA has the advantage of offering a variety of work, a fun atmosphere, dedication to the community and a close-knit group of staff. BVA offers a small firm atmosphere but also has the advantages of a big firm such as work variety and vast learning opportunities. When working at BVA not only do you get to work with a group of skilled professionals, you also gain a second family. I am so happy with my decision to work for BVA, and feel they have been crucial to my success as a young professional.

Bryant dazzles as Lakers spoil O'Neal's debutFeb 21, 2008 - 7:26 AM PHOENIX (Ticker) -- It felt like a playoff atmosphere and Kobe Bryant played like it, spoiling Shaquille O'Neal's debut with the Phoenix Suns.
Bryant poured in 41 points to lead four starters in double figures as the Los Angeles Lakers earned a thrilling 130-124 victory over the Suns on Wednesday night.
The reigning two-time scoring champion notched his 90th career 40-point outburst. Bryant also passed San Antonio great David Robinson for 27th on the all-time scoring list.
"It was a familiar energy in the building. It was like a playoff-type of atmosphere, Bryant said. "We are playing pretty well so naturally our confidence is pretty high."
Pau Gasol netted 29 points and Lamar Odom had 22 and 11 boards for the Lakers, who improved to 3-1 against Phoenix this season.
O'Neal, who was playing for the first time in nearly a month, was acquired from the Miami Heat for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks on February 6 with the hopes of putting the Suns over the hump in the loaded Western Conference.
A three-time NBA Finals MVP, O'Neal finished with 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting with nine boards in 29 minutes in his Phoenix debut.
"I am in better shape than I thought I was," O'Neal said. "At first they wanted me to just play a couple of minutes but I told them, 'I am here, I am ready to go.' Steve Nash told me to put my Randy Moss on so I'll try to be the first one down the court and they will hit me.
"This is only our first game playing and we're not really used to each other. When we do get used to each other we will be the most dangerous team ever created."
The trade for O'Neal might have been prompted because of the Lakers' acquisition of Gasol, who came over from the lowly Memphis Grizzlies on February 1 as the centerpiece in a three-player deal.
All-Star Amare Stoudemire dominated the glass in the opening half, grabbing 11 boards to help the Suns hold a 28-20 edge through two quarters. Phoenix outrebounded Los Angeles, 46-33, in the game.
"I thought we got beat on the boards. It's one of the features that the Suns have been vulnerable at but obviously now with Shaq and Stoudemire they are a much better rebounding team and they showed it," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "The really important part in this is the season series. We now have an advantage in this is going to be tight race. That is all you get out of game like that momentum and some confidence for our team."
Stoudemire carried the load with 37 points, 15 rebounds and three blocks for the Suns.
"I always have energy but I think playing power forward now allows me to roam a little more on the wing as far as crashing the boards offensively," Stoudemire said. "That's what Shaq allows me to do. I think as a team we are getting used to him but the second half showed what we will be like."
Los Angeles carried an impressive 65-57 edge into the locker room on the shoulders of Bryant, who made 7-of-11 shots en route to 20 first-half points.
In the fourth, Stoudemire put Phoenix ahead, 107-106, after he completed a three-point play with 7:26 left. It was the Suns' first advantage since early in the first period.
But Bryant, who had rookie D.J. Strawberry on him, never worried as he hit a jumper, a 3-pointer and found Gasol for an one-handed fast-break dunk to forge a 115-108 lead at the 5:43 mark.
"We stayed aggressive. We were down one and made a driving layup and that took some of the air out of the building," Bryant said. "I made some big plays down the stretch that I only could make because my teammates are threats now."
Phoenix rallied within two on a pair of free throws by Steve Nash, who had 28 points and eight assists in a losing effort, with 1:49 to go.
However, Odom made tough layup and Bryant hooked up with Gasol again for another fast-break dunk to ice the contest with 1:15 remaining.
"I thought it was a very good game," Suns coach Mike D'Antoni said. "I thought they played very well, high intensity and we are still trying to make things up on the run but I think you could see some potential out there. For Shaq and his first time out, it was pretty good."

text: Nottingham - Stuart Broad has been backed by captain Alastair Cook to lead the attack in the absence of James Anderson as England try to show they can win a major Test match without their all-time leading wicket-taker.Anderson has been ruled out of Thursday's fourth Ashes Test at Trent Bridge, Broad's home ground, with a side injury suffered during England's convincing eight-wicket win over Australia in the third Test at Edgbaston last week that put them 2-1 up in the five-match series.That match saw Anderson take an Ashes-best six for 47 in Australia's first innings as he again underlined his worth to England.Since March 2008, when Anderson and Broad replaced Matthew Hoggard and Stephen Harmison in Wellington, England have played five Tests without Anderson, winning two, losing one and drawing two - with both of those victories coming away to lowly Bangladesh.No wonder many Australia players have likened Anderson's injury to the moment Australia pace great Glenn McGrath trod on a stray ball before the start of the 2005 Edgbaston Test and was ruled out with an ankle injury which also sidelined him from the fourth Test of that series, at Trent Bridge.England won both matches McGrath missed that series as they regained the Ashes 2-1.Broad, however, is no callow novice, with the 29-year-old having taken 299 wickets in 82 Tests."I don't think there's been too many cases in history where a guy has 299 wickets and played 80-odd Tests and he's waiting to lead the attack," Cook said Wednesday. "It's a great moment for him in terms of his home ground and stuff. "Clearly Jimmy is going to be missed, we can't sit here and deny that. "You don't play forever and think 'who is irreplaceable'? There's always someone who can come in." Middlesex fast bowler Steven Finn was the man who stepped up at Edgbaston, marking his first appearance at this level in two years with a Test-best six for 79 in Australia's second innings after replacing the injured Mark Wood.Now Durham quick Wood in turn is set to replace Anderson provided he passes a fitness test on a longstanding ankle problem.As for the comparison between McGrath's plight a decade ago and Anderson's situation now, Cook 'blocked' that question with all the determination you would expect from an experienced opening batsman. "I suppose it has its similarities in one sense," he said. "But we don't know how the result is going to go."Meanwhile Broad said Wednesday he did not aim to alter his game too much in Anderson's absence."That (leading the attack) doesn't change my role particularly," the Nottinghamshire paceman explained."It will be important the bowling unit talk proactively in this game and that is what I will try and lead. That is what Jimmy and I do naturally so I will have to be a bit more conscious of that this week."Broad urged England as a whole to concentrate on their own game saying undue focus on Australia had probably contributed to the hosts' 405-run defeat in the second Test at Lord's. "Cooky has made it quite clear it is all about us this week," said Broad, the son of Ashes-winning former England opener Chris Broad."We had a great week at Cardiff (where England won the first Test by 169 runs) and, looking back, maybe in our minds was the thought that the Aussies would come back hard at us. "We have to just focus on what we have to do."


text: Return to all articles Energy co-operatives are blossoming in Europe Posted on 22 June 2012 This week is EU Sustainability Energy Week. Hundreds of conferences take place in Brussels aimed at politicians and policy makers. The hoteliers and restaurant owners of Brussels must be very grateful. One conference was organised by Co-operatives Europe, a trade association which flies the flag for co-ops in the Brussels corridors of power. Co-operatives Europe highlighted that energy co-ops of different kinds are springing up all over Europe. Some are a way for local residents to own a share in a local energy generator such as a wind farm, without which financial connection the residents might be more inclined to say "Not In My Back Yard". Other energy co-ops are formed by housing associations to give tenants in a block of flats shared ownership of large scale solar PV panels on the roof. There are two other businesses like Co-operative Energy, one in Flanders in Belgium and one in Piedmont in northern Italy - there may be more. And there are co-ops bulk buying energy efficiency products - like external cladding and insulation materials - at wholesale prices for use by the houses in a street or neighbourhood; much more efficient to treat a group of houses at the same time. Hearing about all these grass roots initiatives, I was struck by two things. Firstly, the co-operative model of joint ownership by consumers is very versatile and adaptable to different circumstances, though common to them all is the fact that self-interest is sometimes best achieved by clubbing together. Secondly, I was struck by how isolated these projects are and how likely it is that the wheel will be reinvented. This made me think of how established trading co-ops such as ourselves could start to sponsor, support and – most importantly - replicate community energy schemes in return for access to the power they generate which we would want to buy for our customers. A win-win situation, certainly. We are already doing that to a certain degree. We're the largest shareholder in West Mill Wind Farm near Swindon which is a community-owned wind farm, and we presently buy the power generated by two of its five wind turbines. To cut a long story short, there is a huge business opportunity for energy co-ops across Europe. Energy co-ops are solving lots of problems which the private sector or individuals can't tackle. Co-ops are engaging and protecting energy consumers where previously consumers were sidelined or, even worse, ripped off. Share this story Previous article Next article

Katy Perry As A Marine In Her New Music Video "Part of Me"
Katy Perry just released her new music video, "Part of Me," and it's a doozy. In it, she plays a jilted lover who decides to enter the Marines. She gives herself a haircut, tapes down her breasts, and puts on the uniform and then, off she goes to a foreign nation fighting for her country.
Also, check out the screen shot our director, Brett, pulled.
He was so quick on the draw on this video, that in the upper right corner, the video has ZERO views. Yes, that's right. Brett is such a big fan of Katy Perry that, at least according to this screen shot, he was the first person to watch the new Katy Perry video. Way to go, Brett!

The widespread consternation over the $500,000 spent on the design of a new "Rhode Island: Cooler and Warmer logo" for the state got me to thinking about the rebranding Pawtucket officials commissioned last year.
Working with city-based Glad Works, Mayor Donald Grebien and his staff got a new website (www.pawtucketri.com), logo, and "Pawtucket: Join the Evolution" slogan for just $5,000. Grebien spokesman Rico Vota said...more

There's been a lot of speculation about where the controversial "Cooler & Warmer" slogan for the comprehensive Rhode Island marketing campaign originated.
Oddly enough, the Providence-based advertising agency that created the "Rhode Iceland" video and helped with the campaign, IndieWhip, did work for another company with a stake in making people warmer and cooler.
The "work" section of the...more

Like a TV show that gains steam after the first awkward episode, sometimes promotional campaigns that elicit a negative first reaction can also find their way in this world.

Rhode Island mayors have been conspicuously quiet on Gov. Gina Raimondo's "RhodeWorks" plan to rebuild Rhode Island's infrastructure through borrowing and truck tolls. It could be a combination of being happy that state leaders aren't coming after local taxpayer wallets directly, and seeing state roads and bridges in their communities (like the Route 146 bridge over Mineral Spring Avenue) continue to deteriorate.

Recently, Jennie, a food blogger over at In Jennie's Kitchen, lost her husband after he suffered a heart attack.
If you didn't know about Jennie before reading this post, neither had I. But I'm pretty sure I'll never forget her story.
I stumbled upon Jennie's blog after seeing a post for Peanut Butter Pie {for Mikey} on dishfolio by Kate of Diethood (great blog, by the way).
After reading Kate's post, I visited Jennie's blog and read about her husband's recent passing.
To be honest, I couldn't read her entire post without tears filling my eyes and my stomach turning.
Fighting the urge to cry, I was amazed at Jennie's strength during this unimaginable pain and loss.
I have since read that blog post a good 10 or 11 times. And have thought about Jennie and her two little girls countless others.
I can't help but imagine this nightmare as my own. How my heart breaks for her. For her girls.
I try to keep this blog upbeat and positive as I share my enjoyment of life — and food.
But, sometimes, we forget — I forget — that life can get away from us. That love and happiness and all that goodness can get taken for granted.
That everything we think is safe and secure is not. And this scares me to death.
And makes me hold my husband and my little girls a little closer. A little more often.
I decided to make some comfort food I'd been putting off for a while — because it was time.
This BLT with Chipotle Mayo is as good as it is simple. And it's really simple.
And really comforting.
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp chipotle pepper canned, in adobo sauce, minced
- 1 tsp adobo sauce
- 1 tsp freshly squeezed lime juice
- 4 thick slices fresh sourdough bread
- 4 slices thick bacon
- 4 slices crisp tomato
- 2 leaves lettuce green leaf, red leaf or Romaine work best
- 2 tbsp Chipotle Mayo see recipe above
- Combine ingredients for the mayo in small mixing bowl and set aside.
- Cook bacon in skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, but not burnt. Once cooked, drain on plate lined with paper towel and set aside.
- Lightly toast sourdough slices in broiler or toaster.
- Spread Chipotle Mayo over both slices of bread. Layer lettuce, then tomato slices (2 per sandwich) and finally bacon slices on top of bread. Place remaining slice of sourdough on top to make sandwich.

A City Council committee on Tuesday weakened the gun bill championed by top city officials, including the city's police commissioner, in a hearing made all the more contentious by a number of the bill's critics.
The Judiciary and Legislative Investigations Committee held a hearing on a bill that would impose a one-year jail sentence for anyone illegally possessing a gun within 300 feet of a school park, public building or church. The committee unanimously approved an amendment that would exempt first-time offenders unless they are committing another crime.
The bill later passed the committee, 5-2, and now goes to the full council, where more amendments may await.
Mayor Catherine Pugh introduced the bill earlier this month with the support of Police Commissioner Kevin Davis and City Council President Jack Young.
Davis testified to the committee Tuesday. Asked how the 100-yard rule would work, he said police are drafting a map.
Councilman Ryan Dorsey, an opponent of the measure, asked Davis for a yes or no answer to the question, "Will this bill make crime worse?"
"Councilman, you don't decide the length of my answer," Davis responded.

In St. Elizabeth, Georgia, Audrey Faye arrives at Violetta's Beauty Salon asking for owner Violetta Terhune. Audrey explains that her friend Simone Dubois, who during the summer accused Violetta of murdering her mom (see Tressed to Kill), suggested the beauty salon help prepare the contestants of the Miss Magnolia Blossom pageant. Violetta's daughter Grace the hairdresser agrees for $300 a shot while manicurist Stella reluctantly acquiesces to help.
The gig turns nasty even before the hairdresser begins as ant-pageant protesters accost anyone involved. The gig turns even uglier when someone murders Audrey using Stella's nail file. Besides being the owner of the murder weapon, Stella has a motive for murdering the pageant's director. Audrey and Stella's husband were having an affair. As the show goes on and other incidents occur, Grace investigates the homicide and the rash of accidents while a killer watches her.
This is a terrific amateur sleuth Southern Beauty Shop whodunit as the inquiry is stymied by protestors, contestants and incidents. The fast-paced whodunit grips the audience who race to solve the case before the Amazing Grace can. This is a winning Georgia peach mystery.

POLITICS or POLL - TRICKS?
Dear Goans,
When we hear the word "Politics" , do we not say 'enough of
"POLL-TRICKS" ? When we hear the word "Elections", especially when they are forced on us, do we not feel disgusted and irritated? Do we have the
trust in the MLAs we elect? For the trouble we take to go and vote, do we get any satisfaction? Do we have faith in our political parties?
Can we change all this? We ask !
Our VOTE is a powerful 'machine gun'. It has the power to kill and obliterate any and all
ambitions of self-seekers, of hypocrites. At the same time, our
VOTE is like a 'magic wand'. Rascals know that it can make magic for their fortunes. If this was not true, would they be interested in us? Cannot we become a little selfish and use this
magic wand that we hold in our hands to help ourselves, instead?
How do we distinguish a 'Good Candidate' from a 'Bad Candidate'?
A good candidate will not spend his 'hard-earned' money to get himself elected. He will not offer us things like sarees, TVs, cell phones and motorbikes. He will not give us cricket and football kits, food and drinks. He will not give fat donations to our temples, churches, chapels and clubs. Above all, he will not give us 'tall promises'. A good candidate will need a lot of convincing from us to come forward to contest elections, to the extent that we will have to raise money amongst us for his limited election campaign. A bad candidate will come forward on his own to contest elections. He will invest his 'ill gotten gains' or borrowed money from loan sharks', even to the extent of purchasing the Party's ticket.
How do we distinguish a 'Good Party' from a 'Selfish Party'?
A Good Party will have clear guidelines under which its MLAs will function. It will not recognize friends from foes when it comes to running the State Administration. It will not mix religion and castes with politics. It will not indulge in
'Poll Tricks'. It will want to put 'US' and not 'ITSELF' in
What do we really want to see in Election Campaigns?
Do we need vehicles with loud speakers to tell us whom to VOTE? Do we need to see the pictures of candidates on posters and banners? Do we want to see a lot of
'hired for the day' people crowding the many tempos, buses and trucks to fill the chairs in public meetings? Do we want to be taken for a jolly good ride by
this 'paid' show of support?
Do we want to make this bye-election in Poinguinim, a memorable one, especially when Poinguinim may not be the Assembly Constituency any more?
Are we not in a modern world?, a world of intense competitions? Do we want political parties to
compete with each other to cheat us, OR, to help us ? Don't we like competitions to improve our lives, our living standards? Don't we want better things in life, cheaper? Don't we want essential things we need, such as cooking gas, kerosene, bus fares, medicines etc., even cheaper?? Is that not good competition? Can we see something like this happening on the "Goan Political Horizon"? We must remember that
'WE' have EYES to see and read, EARS to listen AND a good head on our shoulders to
THINK. No one will blame us if we VOTED to help ourselves,
for a change.

Launch of
Anzac Memories (new edition)
On 11 November 2013, journalist and speech-writer James Button launched the new edition of Alistair Thomson's book Anzac Memories. at Readings, Hawthorn. The complete launch speech is reproduced here, and photographs from the launch are presented after the speech.
Anzac Memories launch by James Button
It is a great privilege to launch Al's book, Anzac Memories. It is a wonderful book. I want to try to describe the effect it has had on me: what I have learnt from it, how it has helped me make sense of episodes of my own life, how it has made me think about the professional and ethical obligations on anyone who seeks to tell other people's stories, and finally, what the book tells us about the impact of great public or private events on people's lives, and how these effects are handed down through the generations.
I have known Al for more than 30 years, since we were both arts students at Melbourne University in 1979. I knew from early on that he had a fascination with war and with the Anzac story: he used to rhapsodize about what reading Bill Gammage's The Broken Years meant to him. I think that even then I found this interest a little odd, especially for an arts student, moving in left-wing circles in which many of the most charismatic people were women and feminists. But I also noticed and admired the fact that he was upfront about it. Beyond that I didn't give it much thought.
In 1980 and 1981 he and I had the mandatory stretch in Europe, and he came to stay with me in Paris, where I was studying. He told me with great excitement that he had been in Poland and got to know members of a new political movement called Solidarity that was shaking up the country and causing reverberations as far away as Moscow. And I thought to myself: "Nah, that movement'll never go anywhere."
In fact, so great was Al's enthusiasm for Solidarity and what it promised that I remember it spurred a pained and rivalrous thought in me. Here was I doing the standard middle-class Grand Tour: studying Italian in Perugia, French in Paris and working as a waiter in London – while Al was hanging out with dissidents in Poland at the height of the Cold War, and visiting remote cemeteries in France and Turkey looking at Australian war graves. "Wow, he's really taking risks and living large," I thought. Even then, Al's field of study and his life and passions were closely enmeshed.
Then, in 1982, Peter Weir's film, Gallipoli, came out. Al was crazy about that film. The two young Australian soldiers were played by Mel Gibson and a blond, fresh-faced actor called Mark Lee. Al said to me one day: "That Mark Lee is a real spunk." And I remember thinking: "You're only saying that because you think he looks like you." Which – I have to admit -- he did.
A few years after that Al went to London and I mostly lost touch with him for the next 30 years. Now, finally, I have had the chance to read Anzac Memories and to learn a lot more about a man whom I have always thought of as a friend, despite the many years we have spent out of touch.
The book works on so many levels. The stories of Percy Bird, Bill Langham and Fred Farrell – three old diggers from the western suburbs of Melbourne whom Al interviewed near the end of their lives and who form the backbone of the book – are powerfully told. I like the way Al's interviewing and reporting style is both meticulous and loose: meticulous with the facts and the careful, accurate reporting of their stories, loose in the way Al allows us to read our way into the characters and form our own impressions, without the author telling us what he thinks we should think of them. The men's war and postwar stories are forceful responses to simplistic or jingoistic versions of the Anzac legend – they do not debunk the legend but they make us see the many ways in which it has been harnessed to political purposes, the ways in which it fails to tell the truth.
The journalist Chris Masters once said that complexity enhances a story, it does not weaken it. Al's treatment of the lives of these three men and their struggles to make sense of their war experience shows him to be a historian and a writer who is comfortable with complexity. More than that, who understands that there is no other way to tell a powerful and true story.
When you read Anzac Memories, I urge you to read the first appendix. Now, you'll think I'm just showing off in telling you I've read the appendix. But as a former reporter, I found it a fascinating account of the meticulous and ethical way Al approached interviews with the former soldiers: how at every turn he kept them informed of the ways he would use the material he was gathering. More than that, Al reflects candidly on his strategies in getting the men to open up. As a middle-class young man going to interview working-class old men, what should he wear? How should he talk? Should he share the war stories of his father and grandfathers, in order to encourage similar candour in the men? Anyone who has been a reporter will be familiar with these dilemmas.
I was also very engaged by Al's account of the life and work of the official war historian, Charles Bean. Knowing little of him before I began to read, I expected to find a rather dry figure: a propagandist, a government man. I was mistaken. Al captures beautifully Bean's achievement, built as it is on the tension in Bean's life between his wish to record the ordinary soldier's real experience, without gloss or trimming, and his desire to create an Anzac myth that would not only help the war effort but spur the creation of an Australian legend, the bushman turned digger turned archetypal hero. Of course both cannot be true, and the book is excellent on the contradiction in Bean's life and work, and how this contradiction has reverberated in Australian attitudes to war and war remembrance long since Bean published his many-volume history.
In fact, how we feel about this war that killed so many Australians and so many others is the tension that runs through the book – through the stories of the three men, through the excellent chapters on how the diggers were treated when they got home and the changing ways in which we have told the Anzac story since 1915, and how this story has been used in the so-called history wars to privilege one view of Australia over another. As both Al and political scientist Judith Brett have pointed out, John Howard was able to conscript Gallipoli veteran Alec Campbell to his construction of a mateship myth built around Anzac without once mentioning that Campbell was a radical trade unionist. What's more depressing is that the Labor Party let him do it.
As I read the book, I tried to imagine life on those hills in Turkey, or in the mud and cold of the Somme. What was it like? How would I have coped? The book doesn't seek to answer those questions, but nevertheless it helped me to make sense of aspects of my own life. My grandfather fought in France. He wasn't in the front line – he carried supplies to the lines by horse. I don't know what sort of war he had, but I know that he had an intense feeling for his mates in his unit. I know that when we watched him march down Swanston Street on Anzac Day and waved to him, he looked very proud. But he never spoke about it and to my great regret now, we never thought to ask him.
In 2005 I covered the Anzac Day commemorations in Gallipoli as the Europe correspondent for The Age and Sydney Morning Herald. I went again in 2006 and 2007. 2005 was the 90th anniversary, John Howard and Peter Cosgrove were there, and the peninsula was packed with young Aussies. I saw young men and women poring over tombstones, sitting on the beach and weeping openly. I found it a strange and disturbing experience. Why were they crying? Were they moved by the reality of the Gallipoli landing or by some other need or lack in their lives? Or was I the problem? Did I just lack empathy and imagination?
Yet I didn't find the young people jingoistic. In fact, many of them exhibited a very contemporary desire – fashioned by our multicultural society – to find common cause with the Turks, to see both Australians and Turks as victims of the war. This was helped by great Turkish generosity: the famous quote of Ataturk that the dead Australian soldiers lying in Turkish soil are now children of Turkey was quoted by many young people I met. But the experience I had is explained well in Al's book – the way we use history, truthfully or not, to fashion stories about our present.
But the most powerful thing I take from Anzac Memories is the story that is told for the first time in this new edition: the story of Al's grandfather, Hector Thomson, of Al's father David, and, in the background, of Al himself. Hector fought in Palestine as a member of the Light Horse, but contracted malarial encephalitis, which wrecked his health and spirit for the rest of his life. Al could not tell the story of Hector before: one, because the Repatriation files he uses so well in this edition were not available when he published the first edition in 1994; two, because Al's father David, who as a child suffered greatly from Hector's absences and mental illness, would not allow it. Al writes of his father: "Perhaps worst of all, my writing ripped off the scab that had formed across his terrible childhood and unleashed angry, painful memories. I changed the line, 'in and out of mental hospital' to the more socially acceptable half truth that Hector was in and out of Caulfield Repatration Hospital after the war, which you will still find in the introduction to the first edition."
There the story, the half-truth, might have lain. But Al was persistent, determined to uncover and reveal the whole story. At Christmas 2012, Al told his father – then suffering from Alzheimer's – about uncovering Hector's story in the Repat files, and gave him a draft of the chapter in this new edition that deals with Hector. Al writes this moving paragraph:
In recent years my father has declined with Alzheimer's. He can't remember yesterday and speaks very little, but he still recalls that his father was 'damaged'. Over the Christmas of 2012 I explained about the Repat files and gave him a draft of this chapter. He spent hours slowly reading each page, with an intensity of concentration that he rarely manages nowadays. His eyes narrowed and creased with pain as he recalled his childhood and said that Hector's physical and mental condition was worse than I described. For a lucid, fragile moment I think that he, too, came to a new understanding about the cause and extent of his father's illness and about his mother's tenacity. He agreed that Hector probably did the best he could in the circumstances and consented to the publication of this chapter.
David Thomson, as many of you will know, passed away this month.
And so we come to the hidden story in this book, the one always just behind the tales of Percy Bird and Fred Farrell and John Monash and Charles Bean. It is the story of the author himself. Reading Anzac Memories gave me a keen sense of the complexities of Al Thomson's life and finally explained to me, all these years later, why the Anzac story speaks so powerfully to him. He is the son of a soldier and the grandson of two soldiers. Even today, he writes with admirable candour in the book's first edition, "martial music and marching men make my spine shiver, and I can feel within myself some of the entranced enthusiasm that impels young men to war." But from the start, Al is also drawn to alternative interpretations of Anzac: those of women, of the left and of the men whose experience did not neatly fit the myth. This tension within him, so elegantly handled, leads him to Hector Thomson.
Why are so many memoirs – including those written by women – about fathers, and far fewer, it seems to me, about mothers?
There is one obvious reason. We are still living through the effects of the pre-feminist period. In that time, it was men who did things in the world, while women were more likely to raise children and stay at home. Going to war or into politics, for example, is easier to write about than the complex, delicate, invisible world of the home.
But I think there's an even more important reason for the primacy of fathers in family memoirs. Fathers are mysterious. They have such an impact on us, we long to know them, to understand what propelled them away from us, even when they loved us, and into the world. We think that if we can understand that we will understand so much of who we are. And so in our lives – and occasionally in books – we go in search of them.
Paul Kelly wrote a song, Going about my father's business, in which he sings: "What's done to me, I'll do to mine." But here's the thing, Al. I don't know for sure, but I bet that some of the painful things that Hector passed on to David – through no fault of his own – David did not pass on to you. Some things that David passed to you, you have not passed on to your own children. Slowly, generation by generation, this how we learn and grow as human beings.
So, Al, all that leads me to conclude that you have one more edition of Anzac Memories to write, or perhaps a whole new book. A story that combines a national myth with the reality of war, the great sweep of history with a family's private struggles and pain. A story of how a war that began nearly 100 years ago still reverberates today.
I hope you write it. But if you don't, that's OK, because Anzac Memories is a bloody good substitute.
It gives me great pleasure to launch this new edition of Anzac Memories. May it get the audience it so richly deserves.

BMW will invest 500 million pounds ($818 million) in its UK factories as it prepares its manufacturing network for the rollout of its next-generation Mini.
The investment will centre on plants in Swindon and Birmingham, as well as at the Oxford factory where the group has been producing the current model of the Mini for the past decade. The factory has produced around 2 million vehicles in that time, BMW said. Mini is the third largest vehicle manufacturer in the UK.
BMW's announcement comes a few days after Nissan said that it would design and manufacture the second generation of the Qashqai in the UK, with production continuing at the Sunderland plant where the existing model is made.
These investments demonstrate that there is still life in automotive manufacturing in developed markets, despite an overall trend towards lower cost manufacturing locations, Tim Urquhart, automotive analyst at IHS Global Insight, told CNBC.com.
"The trend generally is to invest in production in low cost emerging markets like China and India, and in Europe towards markets in Eastern Europe, but it just shows that these plants, with the latest production techniques, with the latest production machinery and the latest training can still be competitive."
The UK is the BMW Group's fourth largest market, behind Germany, the US and China, and Urquhart noted that the company's release does not say that the production site will be exclusive, and demand could presage new sites elsewhere.
"If you read the report, it's quite clever that it says it's going to be a production location, not the production location. Mini already manufactures one of its models in Austria at the Magna Steyr contract manufacturer… that's about 20,000 units of Mini production in Austria," Urquhart said.
"That leaves open the possibility maybe of manufacturing in China, or probably more likely in the US, because we're looking at maybe just under 100,000 units by the end of the decade, and that's getting quite significant, that's getting to the kind of level where they might be thinking about manufacturing in the US as well as the UK."
BMW's stated strategy is to manufacture close to the large markets for its products.
That the two announcements come so close together, and that they have come in a sector that remains politically sensitive, provides a boost for the UK government, whose political predecessors the Thatcher government, have been accused of engineering the death of UK manufacturing.
While few believe that long-term declines in the UK's manufacturing sector can be reversed in a meaningful way, the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition in the UK has been vocal in its support for British industry.
In a statement accompanying BMW's announcement, Prime Minister David Cameron said, "The production and export of iconic British cars like the Mini is making a real contribution to the rebalancing of the economy that this government is determined to achieve."

Yesterday I made Macaroni and Cheese. I had promised my friend, Joana, that I would make it for her husband's 40th Birthday BBQ party. I thought I would post the recipe and step-by-step directions but I forgot to take pictures of a few of the steps. So you will have to settle for this! This is not the healthiest version of Mac and Cheese but it is the most delicious!
16 oz box of pasta (I use rotini and whole wheat pasta works great too)
2 cans of Campbell's Cheddar Cheese soup
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
16 oz half and half
(If you really want to be healthier you could try it with a lower fat cheese and lower fat milk. Not sure how it would taste b/c I've always made it the unhealthy delicious way. Ha!)
Cook the pasta as directed on box. Drain and add to the cheese mixture.
Spray a baking dish with Pam then pour the mac and cheese mixture into the dish.
Bake at 350 degrees about 40 minutes. Enjoy!
Everyone at the party seemed to enjoy it!
This is my little buddy, Carter (aka Carlos and Joana's son). He is the cutest, happiest little guy and we had a lot of fun hanging out at the party! I'm still teaching him to say "Jodi" but no luck yet. Hopefully soon! :)
I just wish I had half as much energy as Carter (or any kid for that matter)! He was on the go the entire party.
Today I had "big" plans to go to the movies but was not feeling well enough for that. So instead I took a 4 hour nap (does that qualify as a nap or 1/2 a nights sleep)? I went out to do one errand (at one of my favorite stores - Christmas Tree Shop) which exhausted me and now I'm back in bed. I'm planning to go to work tomorrow and just hoping I can make it through the day.
My blog is undergoing a makeover. I'm hoping to make some great improvements to it that will make it easier to find information. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for things you would like to see on my blog or topics questions you want me to cover in a post. I'm always open to ideas!
I got my Red Sox tickets today! You know what that means. . . Spring is almost here! Emily and I got a 4 pack again and our first game is in April. I can't wait.
This week's agenda:
1. Get healthy
2. See a movie (127 Hours or The King's Speech)
3. Scrapbook (maybe?)
4. And of course all the other obligations. . .
Hope everyone had a WONDERFUL weekend!

Make an inventory list of all hazardous materials and their location within the facility
It is important to have insight in the types, amounts and location of all hazardous chemicals in the laboratory. This is needed to establish the correct safety preventive measures and also gives insight in which equipment should be purchased to store the materials correctly (e.g. a fire-proof cabinet for flammable materials, a spill containment cabinet for poisonous/acidic/alkaline materials, etc.).
- Make an inventory of the types, amounts and location of all the hazardous chemicals. This inventory will become the Hazardous Material Register.
- For every chemical a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS-)sheet must be collected and stored. The MSDS Sheet provides insight in all the risks of a material and the correct method of handling it.
How & who
Biosafety Officer:
- Make the inventory of hazardous chemicals.
- Collect the MSDS Sheet for each chemical (often included with a new shipment or downloadable from the website of the supplier). The MSDS Sheets provide information on the hazards/risks and necessary personal protective measures that can be used in the next step.
- Take a new folder and name this "MSDS Sheets". Store all the MSDS Sheets in alphabetical order in this folder.
- Explain in a weekly staff meeting what MSDS Sheets are, how they are used, and where they can be found.
- Record for each chemical the following parameters:
- Name
- Nr. of units
- Type of unit (e.g. "glass-bottle")
- Quantity per unit (volume or weight)
- Expiry date per unit
- Storage location
- Hazards/risks (e.g. "flammable" or "corrosive")
- Necessary personal protective measures
- Availability of MSDS Sheet (yes/no)
- Manufacturer
- Contact details of the manufacturer
- In the right-hand column a template of a Hazardous Material Register is provided that can be used to record the above data
- Take a new folder and call this "Hazardous Material Register".
- Keep the register up-to-date by:
- Updating the inventory every quarter (check if all the data in the register for each material is still correct)
- All the orders for new hazardous chemicals must go via the Biosafety Officer.
Laboratory manager:
- Explain to staff members that all procurement orders for hazardous materials must be notified to the Biosafety Officer so that he/she can update the Hazardous Material Register.

Personal Injury Newsletters
Interference With a Prospective Advantage
A person may have an expectation that he will be entering into a contract or a relationship with another party or parties for a financial benefit in the future, and a defendant may interfere with that prospective advantage. If the defendant unlawfully does so, the injured party may bring an action against him.
Proximate Cause
In order to win a personal injury action, a plaintiff must prove that a defendant's negligence caused the plaintiff's injuries. In negligence law, there are two types of causation: (1) "cause in fact"; and (2) "proximate cause." The plaintiff must prove both types of causation.
The Jones Act -- Unearned Wages
Under the Jones Act and general maritime law, a seaman who is injured in the course and scope of his employment may recover "unearned wages," i.e., the wages he would have earned if he were able to continue working until the end of the voyage. Unearned wages may include overtime, bonuses, and other employment benefits.
Tort Action for Violation of a Fiduciary Duty
A person who has a fiduciary relationship with another person commits a tort when he or she breaches his or her fiduciary duty with regard to the other person. The other person is entitled to damages from the fiduciary if he or she sustains damages as a result of the fiduciary's breach of his or her duty.
Truth and Privilege Defenses to Defamation
Defamation lawsuits are not easy to win because the plaintiff must both prove the difficult elements of his or her case and avoid the many defenses to defamation. This article discusses some of the standard defenses to defamation, including truth and privilege.

EUFIC wins Best Digital Campaign at the European Association Awards 2019!
News Item
posted by Research Admin 1 on 10 April 2019
EUFIC - The European Food Information Council News Release, 1 April, 2019
EUFIC is proud to have been awarded the Best Digital Campaign prize at the European Association Awards 2019 for its month-long Hungry for Whole Grain digital campaign. Launched in May 2018, the "Hungry for #wholegrain" campaign had as a main goal to enable people to take educated decisions on including wholegrains into their diet.
The campaign reached 395K people, had over 14K engagements across Twitter and Facebook, and 106K visits to our website during the month of March. It also led to offline engagements, including an invitation to speak at the Healthgrain Forum and the European Cancer Leagues event, 'Partnering on Whole Grain for Health and Well-Being: why consumers should choose while grain first' and ongoing collaborations'. (click here to find out more)
"This was an excellent campaign with impressive reach. A science-based approach addressing a clear gap in consumer information. It had impressive social media impact" said the judges at the awards ceremony, held at Le Plaza Hotel in Brussels on March 28.
These awards are a celebration of the vital work that European Associations do on behalf of their members to ensure their voices are heard throughout Europe. The ceremony was attended by 200+ senior association executives representing a diverse cross-section of European industry and markets.
Claire Wormsley, Founder and Managing Director of GCN Events said: "We were delighted that so many European Organisations entered and attended. It was a fabulous occasion and an opportunity to recognise the exceptional quality and excellence that all our finalists display in their fields of expertise. It is important to celebrate these hard-won achievements and shine a spotlight on the incredible advancements that associations and trade bodies can make, both within their industry and for society as a whole."
The ceremony was hosted by Brain Maguire – journalist, producer, broadcaster and specialist in European politics and business.
