Lengthy Covid isolation for prisoners 'risked breaching human rights', inspectorate warns
Putting prisoners in lengthy spells of coronavirus quarantine risked breaching their human rights, with a prison watchdog warning the "consequences of such prolonged isolation cannot be overstated".
Wendy Sinclair-Gieben, of His Majesty's Inspectorate of Prisons for Scotland (HMIPS), issued the warning in her annual report on Friday and added that "prisons became places of containment rather than rehabilitation".
Some prisoners were locked up for as many as 23 hours a day, and the prison inspectorate said it remained "concerned with the inability to deliver anything more than a very restricted regime and the slow recovery from Covid back to normality, let alone the more expansive rehabilitative regime we would wish to see".
The HMIPS 54-page report found access to fresh air was "routinely compromised during Covid-19 outbreaks" and strict isolation rules for close contacts continued long after Scotland's were lifted.
Ms Sinclair-Gieben, chief inspector of prisons for Scotland, said: "Under the principle of equivalence, people in prison should be afforded provision of, or access to, appropriate services or treatment which are at least consistent in range and quality with that available to the wider community.
"The requirement of close contacts to isolate for a minimum of 10 days continued long past the community requirements – maintaining a set of health restrictions so out of step with what is required for safe management of the population risks an adverse reaction."
She said rules that prisoners should be offered at least one hour of fresh air and two hours of meaningful interaction were "simply not always met".
"It amounted to social isolation for significant periods and risked breaching ECHR requirements under Article Three. The consequences of such prolonged isolation cannot be overstated."
Ms Sinclair-Gieben also warned that the increase in the number of prison deaths was not explicable by either Covid or its ageing population.
In the report, it said: "HMIPS was concerned, and remains concerned about the breaches in human rights and adverse consequences of the protective measures which the SPS (Scottish Prison Service) necessarily adopted.
"The slow pace of progress in coming out of the pandemic and returning to a full regime with adequate time out of cell and sufficient opportunities and engagement in purposeful activity was escalated to Public Health Scotland, Scottish Government and the SPS as an area of deep concern."
Inspectors also highlighted overcrowding as a "significant and enduring issue", that "extraordinarily high remand figures" risked contravening human rights, and said the "ageing infrastructure and general condition of some of Scotland's prison buildings are ill-suited to a modern prison system".
On substance misuse behind bars, inspectors said the drug death statistics were "deeply concerning" and "clearly a new approach is required".
"Those countries that have successfully reached a sustained drop in their prison population and a reduction in drug-related deaths have almost uniformly taken the bold decision, as well as other strategies, to decriminalise or de-penalise substance misuse, often unpalatable concepts in our current climate," the report said.
The human rights of children, physical and mental health of prisoners, and changing demographics were also raised, as was funding.
"For a service that has been under-resourced for years, the imposition of a 'flat cash' budget for four years requires to be rethought or fundamental change within the justice system is needed to reduce the burden imposed on the SPS," the 2021-22 annual report said.
"HMIPS struggle to see how the SPS can be expected to manage against a flat cash budget for four years without significant adverse impact on either rehabilitation-focused activities, affecting outcomes for individual prisoners and efforts to reduce reoffending, or delay to vital infrastructural improvements."
An SPS spokesman said it has "gradually and cautiously lifted regime restrictions, in line with Scottish Government guidelines, that were necessary to protect the health and wellbeing of those who live and work in our prisons".
"A 'Restoration of Services' project supported establishments to return to pre-pandemic regimes at the end of September 2021. However, measures have remained in place to allow for regime changes where this is deemed necessary, for example, in an outbreak situation," the spokesman said.
"The SPS has seen an increase in purposeful activity hours since the Restoration of Services was implemented, however we are also aware that further work needs to be conducted to support this progress and ensure the needs are met of those in our care."
A Scottish Government spokesman said: "The prison service has seen a significant increase to their resource budget every year for the past three years.
"This year, SPS's resource budget increased by £12.4m, a 4% increase on last year.
"This increase in funding has helped SPS face multiple pressures, including a high and increasingly complex prison population and the response to Covid-19.
"The wellbeing, safety and human rights of all those who live in our prisons has been and will remain a priority for the Scottish Government and the prison service.
"We will work with the Scottish Prison Service and other partners to respond to specific issues raised in the report."

+1 845 259 2974 (11 a.m to 7 p.m CST)
Moving to a new place is a difficult and tricky time for children, especially for teenagers. The process is made even more difficult when goodbyes are exchanged between old friends and a familiar territory is being left behind for an uncharted zone. Parents should know how to help kids settle down in new surroundings.
Before moving in to a new house, the parents should make it a point to take their kids for a tour of the place. During the touring hours parents can discuss the makeup of each room with the children and take suggestions from them about the ways in which the place can be decorated. Teenagers are also fond of physical activities and engaging them in a game of hide and seek or I spy will help them get a feel of their future abode.
Encourage your teens to pack all their essential belongings in a box and to wrap up the things with their own hands. Advise them to keep the box safe and in sight during the moving process so that the same can be unloaded first. Instead of the handlers taking care of your child's personal box, the kid should handle it himself to make him/her feel more at home.
The first things to be unpacked include all the household essentials, food being the most important among these items. After the first base has been covered, proceed towards setting up your kids' room. Help them unpack all their personal belongings to give them a sense of belonging and responsibility. Discuss with your child how they would like to arrange their rooms according to their own comfort and give due consideration to their feedback.
To keep the whole moving and settling thing in smooth motion, it is important that the old command structure is re-implemented. This mostly includes timetable for daily meals, monitoring TV hours, allotting time for sports, and also establishing the rules for going to bed and waking up in the morning.
It is important to help your child to maintain contact with his/her former friends in addition to making new ones. If your new house is not far away from your former residence, it will be wise to continue the association of your kids with a local sports club or school. They will feel at home.
Familiarizing oneself with a new school in an unfamiliar area is difficult for children. Think about how to help your kids make friends at school. A large number of schools have developed their own strategies to integrate new students into its folds. Parents are allowed to interact with a key person to form an idea about the place, while most other schools also keep regular contact with the parents for a period of six to ten weeks after the child is enrolled. Taking your kid around a tour of the school is also a good idea.
Most importantly, stay positive throughout the entire process because kids pick up negativity very quickly.
Allow teenagers to fit in on their own and don't forget to inform them about the plans well in advance to prepare them mentally for the move.

Today we have launched our survey for intermediary feedback, which will be analysed for our H2 2022 Mortgage Lender Benchmark.
Our bi-annual independent research study aims to highlight which lenders are currently providing the best service levels to mortgage brokers and their customers. We'll publish the results for H2 2022 in December.
This marks the ninth edition of the Mortgage Lender Benchmark which also focuses on helping lenders understand what brokers really think about them and how they compare with other lenders. The Mortgage Lender Benchmark will deliver actionable insight and direct feedback to enable lenders to evaluate and develop their proposition.
Within the study, brokers are asked about lenders' criteria, speed, eligibility, communication and relationship managers. They are also asked to share what they like about each lender and what could be better.
From today – Wednesday 5th October - until the end of October, mortgage brokers will be able to share their feedback about the last five lenders they've done business with, be it banks, building societies, specialist or lifetime lenders. This research will also ask brokers to rate the technology they use, including criteria and sourcing systems.
Results from our Mortgage Lender Benchmark H1 2022
In the most recent Mortgage Lender Benchmark, released in June 2022, over 650 brokers gave us their feedback on 99 lenders. Alongside league table data, the benchmark contained detailed analysis on 50 individual lenders, providing a unique broker insight on banks, building societies, specialist and lifetime lenders.
The June 2022 Benchmark found overall satisfaction with lenders was 81.2%, a change of only 0.1% from H2 2021, but still 1.5% lower than the results seen at its peak in H1 2020. The average Net Promoter Score (NPS) for all lenders within the benchmark had decreased by 0.3 points to +26.8 in H1 2022, with specialist lenders once again seeing the biggest growth in broker sentiment, with a fourth consecutive edition of improvements.
Jacqueline Dewey, CEO of Smart Money People, commented:
"As complexity increases across the mortgage market for a variety of reasons, the value of the advice process continues to escalate. However, so too does the pressure on intermediaries to secure the right products for their clients from the lenders who can best facilitate them. As such, it will be fascinating to see which lenders are meeting expectations, who are exceeding them and who may be dipping below them.
"It's certainly a challenging time for everyone concerned in the mortgage journey and this only emphasises the importance of understanding current market conditions from a broker perspective and for lenders to get to grips with what they need to do to better serve their ever-changing needs and those of their clients."

A woman who was critically injured during a crush at the O2 Brixton Academy on Thursday night has died.
Rebecca Ikumelo, 33, of Newham, died after sustaining injuries during the crush at the sold-out gig for Nigerian offbeats singer Asake.
Two other women – aged 21 and 23 – remain in a critical condition.
Specialist officers are continuing to provide support to the family of Ms Ikumelo
A post-mortem examination will be held tomorrow at Greenwich Public Mortuary.
Police were called at 9.35pm on Thursday to the famous Stockwell Road music venue, following reports that a large number of people were attempting to force entry to the venue.
Officers, London Ambulance Service (LAS) and London Fire Brigade attended, and found a number of people with injuries, believed to have been caused by crushing.
As well as the eight in need of urgent attention, LAS treated two other less seriously injured people at the scene.
One theory for the crush is that many without tickets were attempting to gain entry to the gig. The concert was cancelled.
Speaking at the scene yesterday, Chief Superintendent Colin Wingrove, policing commander for Lambeth and Southwark, said: "I'd like to extend my sympathies to all those who have been affected.
"Having seen some of the really upsetting images on social media our thoughts are with them.
"An urgent investigation is currently under way led by detectives from our Specialist Crime Command and cordons remain in place as officers continue to work at the scene.
"This is still a fast-moving and evolving picture and we are working to establish the events that led up to the incident.
"We are also aware of a vast amount of footage on social media, and of course this will be examined as part of the investigation along with footage from officers' body worn video cameras.
"We are working incredibly closely with our partners and community members and would like to thank them for their support so far in the investigation. We would also like to thank people for coming forward with information.
"We have set up an online page for the submission of photographs and videos.
"There were around 4,000 potential witnesses present at the time of this incident and we want to urge any members of the public with information to come forward.
"We need your information as we try to establish what happened as quickly as we can."
Any witnesses who are yet to speak with police are asked to call 101 ref 6725/15Dec.

With only 15 days left on the countdown until Arkham Origins drops, it is time to really start getting psyched up for the game. I for one am super pumped (not as excited as for Pokemon, but 15 days until release vs 3 days until release is much different).
Moving past that, with the game so close producers are starting to talk about their choices when making the game. One thing that many people have been talking about are the choices of villains. The game will center around a young Batman and his fight against 8 hired guns who all want him dead. The Batman world has dozens of assassins to choose from, so the producers have had their pick of the litter. The Joker was basically a give in (I am interested to know the story of how they 'met' in this canon), Deadshot and Deathstroke also fit the mold nicely, but then there's Bane the Penguin and a few others who aren't typical assassins. Producer Ben Mattes spoke to OXM about his choices.
"Yeah, so there were three really key factors in making the final list… the DC universe is ripe with people who would kill for money, many of whom would call themselves assassins, many of whom, probably wouldn't, or would never have been necessarily labelled "an assassin," but who have very clearly assassinated and been paid for their assassinations. And so when we first started looking at this list, of potential candidates effectively, the three filtering criteria were a) are they cool? [laughs] You know, are they – do they belong in the Arkhamverse? Can we make them look grounded and gritty and believable and approachable and like they fit in the same universe. The second being, we wanted to make sure we had a diversity of appearances and abilities and sex and nationalities and dialogue and whatnot."
It sounds like a very generic thing to say in my opinion, but there's a lot of fact behind it. Are they cool enough for the game, and can they make it so no villain is the same. They've shown that they will take some liberties with the characters to make them and the game more interesting (see Copperhead). The choices they made are well thought out and, to use Mattes' words, cool. I am excited to see where they go with this story.

It is time for you to turn inwards, dear author
by Arvind Passey on Sep 16, 2015 • 6:22 PM 2 CommentsIt is time for you to turn inwards, dear author
Review of 3 @ a time
There are writers who write what they see and they write about every minor detail that makes their work stand out and probably be read centuries later. There are others who see what no one else is able to see and let us have a glimpse of their interpretations. Then there are those who imagine things and take us on a fantasy trip of a lifetime. In India we have another segment of writers who write even though they are not bothered about the difference between 'then' and 'than'… and they along with their editors at the publishing house don't seem to understand that Pimpri cannot be spelled Pimri even once. '3 @ a time' by Diptendu Sekhar Chakraborty is a classic example of this last category of writers that the book stores in India are inundated with.
Books like the one that I am reviewing now are essential and must be read… if only to understand how books must never be written. I have finally met an author who has the time and the energy to write pages of conversation that is, at best, mundane… and when he is confronted by a situation where the protagonist can prove to the world that he has mettle, he (the author) calmly summarises the sublime truth in a meaningless paragraph:
I decided to take the matter in my own hands and started to apply through consultancy firms which I believed could help me in getting through with a big firm. My belief came fruitful as when only a few days were left for our batch to leave the college and go back, I cracked my interview with one of the biggest car makers Volkswagen as a marketing specialist with an excellent pay package which was way higher than the highest pay package in the last five years of placement of our college.
Let me add here that the student we are talking about is from the Khandala Business School, has been rejected by Videocon, the faculty are refraining from recommending his resume, and the fellow is 'in a state of depression'. The stage is all set for a writer to take advantage and give us a glimpse into the wayward machinations of destiny or transform the resolve of a mind that has just woken up into some scintillating repartees that win him his placement. But what do we get? A rather flaccid paragraph of two lines as if a completely sullied ecosystem can be magically converted into an environmentally friendly bonanza with Uma Bharti announcing: Let the Ganga be clean! This never happens.
The book, however, is not an inquest into the tests and travails of an engineering student who has decided to study management. The author, in his wisdom, decided to let the protagonist weave around himself a mesh of relationships that appear and disappear at their whim. So we have Pooja, Naina, Priya, Deepa, Sunita, Sanjana, Sonali, Anita, Ritika, Divya and probably a few more not in the order in which I write their names, prancing meaninglessly and having conversations that are aren't really improbable but convey nothing of substance except the fact that our youth in college is actually wasting time. Authors need to realise that though a large percent of life is mundane, it does not really have to find its way on the pages of a novel for which paper is made by pulping trees. Come on, if you don't have anything worthy to be communicated, just focus on your job managing people or selling cars or fudging ledgers… don't burden the world with a meaningless tale where losing virginity in a moving train is discussed as if there is nothing more important to live for. Read the conversation and you'll know what I am talking about…
Me – "So you mean to say that nothing happened between you two when you went along with him to Kanpur last month on a train journey?"
Pooja – "That's news to me. By the way what exactly happened?"
Me – "Forget it if you two are good friends then anyways that incident wouldn't be true either."
Pooja – "But really I want to know what exactly are the rumours about me and Asif that have being doing the round in college."
Me – "Well apart from the marriage rumour, it is said that you too lost your virginity with each other that too on that journey to Kanpur last month in the train."
Pooja – "That's gross as even if I want to lose my virginity, I wouldn't really lose it on a moving object as the friction is too much and I don't want any moving objects help to lose my virginity. I want to lose it on my own."
I am stunned. I am speechless. Not just with the ludicrous interpretative intelligence of the author, but also because the sentences willingly mock poor Wren and Martin and make them turn restlessly in their graves. And if this is indeed representative of the college going Indian youth, then the country is doomed.
Why do people write? I guess it is sometimes to share their interpretations or to give tangible expressions to the way they have solved problems. People write to purge their inner withered and scorched selves and also to give a faithful picture to the life that they have lived. If Diptendu declares that his book is about the true lives of students in the cities that are mentioned, I'd say it is an excellent piece of fiction that tells the real story of India. Otherwise, the book deserves to be pulped and the publisher needs to be forgotten fast.

Schools have reopened. The next school year might be "normal." Will students start catching up on "unfinished" or "lost" learning? Will achievement scores rebound?
No, predicts Mike Goldstein, founder of Match Education. He foresees a "second wave" of learning loss in 2023 and 2024.
Students are working less in class and spending more time on their screens, he writes. They've lost "agency."
Where teachers are in short supply, principals are likely to hire "shaky" teachers and to be reluctant to "critique teachers for fear they may go elsewhere," writes Goldstein. "All the factors above demoralize good teachers and make them more likely to leave."
Principals feel overwhelmed, he writes. "Controversies surrounding critical race theory and social-emotional learning feel unwinnable."
Then there's the problem of school culture.
Even before the pandemic, well-intentioned but poorly-executed behavior management systems like "restorative justice" eroded the structure of some schools. Fixing that was on the to-do list of many school leaders circa 2019. It's still undone. Now in 2022, add in rising crime outside schools, plus key staff turnover, and we should expect more culture challenges inside schools.
Match Education proved the effectiveness of intensive tutoring, but districts' attempts to ramp up tutoring are "not going well, with some notable exceptions," he writes.
Some dreamed the pandemic "would unleash a wave of school redesign that leads to achievement gains," Goldstein concludes. The "Build Back Better" enthusiasm has fizzled.

Overwatch 2 devs make big content pledge amid update concerns
Blizzard EntertainmentThe Overwatch 2 beta has finally been officially announced and the developers are making some big promises about ongoing content as the original game struggled with updates since the sequel was announced.
Blizzard shocked Overwatch fans on March 10 by revealing a closed beta has begun with others having a chance to join in come April.
In the announcement, Overwatch Game Director Aaron Keller revealed a lot of new information about the beta and how things will change going forward regarding updates and the plan to keep fans invested.
Needless to say, there's a lot of skepticism about the new game and if the team can deliver, but the devs are taking responsibility for their deafening silence.
Overwatch devs apologize for lack of communication
"We recognize that we haven't communicated well having kept you up to date and honestly, we let you down when it comes to delivering Overwatch content," Keller said. "We hear you and we're committed to more continual updates on all things Overwatch 2."
According to Keller, the new goal is to make sure that Overwatch 2 is a "living game" to give players exciting content on a regular basis – something he admitted the team didn't do with the original.
By decoupling the PvE from the sequel, Overwatch 2's PvP will be available to players sooner, which includes new features and a ping system.
Overwatch 2 devs promise big content changes
"Today's change and approach enables us to deliver frequent PvP content to the live game with the goal of far exceeding Overwatch's previous rate of content release and making the live game the most dynamic and vibrant PvP experience," he added.
Furthermore, Blizzard President Mike Ybarra echoed the statement saying, "we realize our content and communication has missed expectations. That changes going forward."
To those who've asked about #Overwatch2, we're shifting plans to get it into your hands sooner. Thanks to our players for always guiding our path forward. We realize our content and communication has missed expectations. That changes going forward. Beta sign-ups are now open. https://t.co/5UHtzUx4yy
— Mike Ybarra (@Qwik) March 10, 2022
As for what the new content might be down the line, later in the year, there will be more Overwatch 2 beta tests that will include new heroes, features, and maps.
Only time will tell if the devs can make good on their promise and if the errors made from a lack of Overwatch updates are fully rectified when the sequel's closed beta gets underway.

Om Nom Nom…
Posted by on in Animated Comedy ShortDetails
One day, a hungry dinosaur came across a weird jumping egg in the forest. He swallowed it, and then felt some strange rumblings in his tummy. Well, well, well…
This stop-motion animation is essentially a funny short story for kids, but its fanciful visual images may also attract adults. The unique imagery of the dinosaur's internal organs and nature have been created with a multi-plane camera, by combining fluffy flat puppets (a boy, a dinosaur, and other creatures) with carefully composed pastel drawings.

Amid the whole divorce episode that caught all possible eyeballs, the news broke that Kim is now dating none other than Pete Davidson and that gave rise to another whirlpool. Now while Kanye aka Ye talks about reconciling with the beauty mogul, the news says that she is getting serious with Pete and the two were very flirty on a date.
The news of Kim dating Pete broke recently when the two were spotted holding hands on a rollercoaster at Knott's Scary Farm in Buena Park, California. This was just after they were seen kissing during a sketch on SNL's October 9 episode. Turns out they have now gone on another date together and the source says the two were in a very happy mood and guess what, very flirty too. Read on to know everything you should about the same.
As per People, Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson went on a date to an Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, Calif. As per the insider, they arrived holding hands and "were both in a great mood." Insider added "They sat very close to each other and Kim kept giggling. He was very pleasant and ordered a lot of food for them. They shared several pasta dishes. He had his arm around Kim and they were very flirty. You could tell that Kim had the best time. They very much acted like a couple."

How To String An Acoustic Guitar
Disclosure: Sometimes I may receive a small commission on products sold through this site.
Click here for more info. Thanks!
You should change strings periodically, depending, of course, on how much you play. It's recommended to change them after about 30 or so hours of playing.
You don't have to wait for a string to break in order to change it. Strings wear out over time, even without playing. Worn out strings sound duller and are almost impossible to properly tune.
How To Change An Acoustic Guitar String
Here is a very nice eight minute instructional video on how to change an acoustic guitar string.It will show you step by step how to remove the old string and replace it with the new one:
The tools you need are:
- New strings (obviously)
- String winder (optional)
- Pliers

We were up and out of the house early to catch an 8 a.m. flight from Chicago O'Hare to Boston. We were excited to return to New England and the AYF Olympics.
We boarded the plane and had our first experiences worthy of relating. I was wearing an Armenia ball cap but forgot I was wearing. A lady looked at me and said, "Armenia. Fun." I wondered how she knew. I was clearly up too late packing. My wife Judy had even better encounters. She was wearing a lovely AYF pendant she had bought at the 1971 Olympics that was the handiwork of the Ralph Rafaelian or Varkis Markarian of Providence. The stewardess stopped, looked and asked, "Is that your family coat of arms?" Well, in a way it is, for all of us. A group of heavily tattooed young women stopped to ooh and aah at her pendant. One of them said, "We are all big Harry Potter fans and love your Harry Potter jewelry." This last one made us wonder if Quidditch was now part of the Olympic events.
We got to Boston on-time. The weather was beautiful. After a one-hour wait for our rental car, we enjoyed a leisurely drive with minimal traffic. We were hungry and George's Coney Island caught our eye, so we GPS-ed our way there. As soon as we stepped foot into the place, we just knew it had to be Worcester classic. The menu was minimal and what you might expect from Coney Island 50 years ago. Well, maybe longer. It was established in 1918. While clean, it looked like nothing had changed in all that time except the rich patina that graced the wood walled booths. The food was really good. Upon thumbing through this year's AYF Olympics Ad Book, I was delighted to see a full-page ad from George's. Nancy Arvangian Brown told me that owner Kathryn Tsandikos was a good friend. She was a bridesmaid in Nancy's wedding. How cool.
Quite appropriately, the first people we saw upon arriving to the hotel were Kenar Charchaflian and Nareg Mkrtschjan. To me, Kenar is the heart and soul of the Worcester AYF. It is a great to see how proud she is to see the Olympics in Worcester again. We also saw Rosemary Alashaian. She told us that she was excited that all her grandchildren would be at the Olympics.
I took a seat in a chair in the corner of the lobby. As people trickled in, they would stop and chat with me. In a lull, I was thinking of past Olympics, and I thought of my father's first cousin Olympic King John Baronian, who had roots in Worcester. He would take a seat in the corner of the lobby and hold court. He would always wear slacks and a light blue or white cabana shirt. I realized I was wearing a cabana shirt and kind of doing the same thing as Uncle John, as I called him. It was a moment of mixed emotions. The first was, "Oh, my God…I am an old guy" as John did this in his later years. More so, I feel a lot of nostalgia for those great AYF-ers that have passed. I should be so lucky to be like Uncle John.
Carol Jaffarian related a perfect AYF story. One year in her AYF days, the AYF Convention was going to be held in Boston. Larry Ovian encouraged her to be a delegate with him representing Worcester. She told Larry, "Oh I don't know. I have no one to stay with." Larry responded, "Don't worry about it. You will meet someone to room with there, and you will become lifelong friends." Well, that is exactly what happened. Carol met Denise Lansing from Racine, and they became lifelong friends.
I met up with Mark Manuelian of the Governing Body. He's running athletics on the Worcester Steering Committee. I salute these kinds of alumni who work tirelessly and so effectively for this great organization.
While it was relatively quiet as most Thursdays are at the AYF Olympics, it was so good to renew friendships with everyone I talked to.
It's now Friday, and the games and festivities begin in earnest. Golf and tennis have early starts at 8 a.m.; swimming starts at 4 p.m. Later in the evening, it is the Alumni Night with the Norkef Ensemble and the AYF Gala and Hookup with the Yerakouyn Band. I won't be sitting in the lobby tomorrow.


text: Home Breadcrumb caret Investments Breadcrumb caret Market Insights The upside of ESG backlash Increased scrutiny will create better outcomes for the industry in the long run By Maddie Johnson | November 28, 2022 | Last updated on October 12, 2023 3 min read Once championed as the future of investing, environmental, social and governance (ESG) is now under fire. Listen to the full podcast on AdvisorToGo, powered by CIBC. "In the last several months, we have seen an increase in the backlash against ESG, both in the media and from regulators and governments around the world," said Aaron White, vice-president of sustainable investments with CIBC Asset Management. In the U.S. in particular, White said more than 30 states have introduced some form of anti-ESG legislation aimed at targeting ESG and how it's used by institutional investors. Regulators are also becoming increasingly sensitive to the threat of greenwashing as they move toward mandatory, standardized climate disclosures. Against this backlash, White said the industry needs to get "back to basics," redefine what ESG is and understand how investors value non-financial factors in their assessment of companies. By recognizing that ESG is ultimately intended to help investors make better financial decisions that align with their values, White said the industry can counter the perception that ESG is solely about effecting change regardless of the financial implications. While some U.S. states target ESG, other jurisdictions are moving the other way, recognizing the benefit to stakeholders of considering all factors within the investment process, he said. Moves like this not only acknowledge that climate remains a real investment risk, but that the largest asset managers play an important role in facilitating the climate transition, understanding that it will benefit both their investors and the world, White said. Regulators are also beginning to scrutinize sustainability claims, with many declaring they will increase enforcement regarding greenwashing. According to White, until now, regulators have focused on investment managers making unsubstantiated claims. Moving forward, regulators will be looking for transparency on ESG objectives and the processes managers employ, he said, with more explicit guidelines coming to Canada in 2023 to help managers understand their regulatory responsibility even further. In the meantime, White said advisors need to prioritize understanding their clients' objectives, especially when it comes to non-financial factors such as ESG. He recommends redefining the KYC process using guidelines from the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada. "It's really important to understand the methodology of the investment solution that you're offering to meet these objectives and to be able to clearly communicate and report to clients on this," he said. Investors, on the other hand, can look to advisors to understand how managers disclose their approach to ESG and the processes they employ. Ultimately, White said investors should seek managers who are transparent about the solutions they offer and how they deliver on the stated outcomes. Overall, White said ESG is intended to identify risks and opportunities, but it has been co-opted as a marketing tool. However, he said as the market evolves, investors will receive increased transparency and ultimately be able to make more informed decisions. "The backlash will inevitably be good for ESG as the increased scrutiny creates better alignment on the stated outcomes and objectives of how we invest," he said.

User stories are short, simple descriptions of a feature or functionality from a user's perspective. They are often used in agile development methodologies to help teams understand their users' needs and goals and define the requirements for a product.
User stories are written in the following format: "As a [type of user], I want [some goal] so that [some reason]." For example: "As a frequent traveler, I want to be able to search for flights by destination and date so that I can easily find the best flights for my trip." User stories are an important tool for product teams, as they help to ensure that the product is focused on the needs and goals of its users.

A green roof or living roof is a roof of a building that is partially or completely covered with vegetation and a growing medium, planted over a waterproofing membrane.
The benefits of a green roof include reducing rain water run-off, providing insulation so reducing energy consumption, creating a habitat for wildlife, improving air quality and improving the aesthetics of the roof.
There are many different types and forms of green roof, including extensive, intensive and biodiverse or brown roofs. The terms used refer to the depth of the substrate used and the level of maintenance the roofs require. Intensive green roofs are garden-like in appearance and designed to be used but require a high level of maintenance and built in irrigation. Extensive green roofs are usually planted with sedum and are not intended for public access. Instead they offer a light weight, low maintenance solution.

For Jane Garner, a crushing disappointment could not have come at a better time.
It was the summer of 1964, and the recent University of Texas graduate was in Washington training to become a Peace Corps librarian in Chile. At the end of the summer, Garner was told her perfectionist nature would 'cause too much trouble.' She was effectively kicked out of the Peace Corps.
The young Garner was devastated. But the timing was perfect for another opportunity: UT's School of Library and Information Science was launching a new program to train librarians to manage Latin American collections.
"I walked in and was presented on the spot with a fellowship," she says.
That fellowship launched a 35-year career at UT, the majority of which Garner spent overseeing the rare books and manuscripts of the Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Collection.
Garner, who retired in 2000, had long wanted to "pay it forward." So, with the hope that a contribution might open a door for future students, she recently made the iSchool a beneficiary of her life insurance policy. The funds from the policy will be shared with the Longhorn Band of which Garner - a clarinetist - was one of the first female members.
It's a gift, she says, that allows her to express her gratitude for the iSchool paving the way for a career she loved.
Garner looks back fondly at the early years working with legendary librarian Nettie Lee Benson. That perfectionism problem? It came in handy as she dove into researching, cataloging and making inventories of microfilm holdings. She combed through Publishers Weekly magazines to find every book with Latin American content, helping to build what would become the largest university library collection of Latin American materials in the U.S. - and one of the most prestigious.
Even in retirement, her iSchool education continues to pay off.
She recently began advising the Texas Retired Teachers Association on alternative archival methodology, providing her expertise on preservation for a statewide training manual that will help historians develop digital archives.
Garner has watched the iSchool evolve over the decades and now sees students venturing into unchartered territory much as she did when she began working with Latin American collections in the 1960s.
Technology has dramatically reshaped the school. But the iSchool's unique purpose, she says, remains.
"We still need information specialists."

If Venus is Taylor Swift's Fearless era, then Lilith is the pop princess' dark dive into her Reputation. As told in Jewish folklore, Lilith was Adam's first wife in the Garden of Eden. Refusing to be subservient to her husband (and his constant need for sex and snacks), Lilith grew wings and flew away from the normative, stifling "paradise" of the garden. Not even angels sent by God could convince Lilith to return to Adam, and it is said that she still roams the Earth, haunting—and even demonizing—women until they decide to free themselves. "Look What You Made Me Do" is right. Lilith is the archetypal rebellious woman. She is our instinctual side; the part of us that is unfiltered and uncontrollable. The inspiration for Sarah MacLachlan's Lilith Fair, she contains multitudes. She's a b*tch, a lover, a child and a mother. A sinner and a saint: she doesn't feel ashamed. Still confused? Read on.
What Your Lilith Sign (Aka Your Inner B*tch) Says About You
So What Is Lilith in Our Astrological Chart?
Though the name Lilith has been associated with at least four different cosmic points and objects—from a Lilith asteroid to a Lilith satellite discovered in the 1600s, which turned out to be a piece of dust on an astronomer's telescope—and you may come across information on all of them if you were to late night Google "Lilith in astrology," we're going to focus on what has come to be called Black Moon Lilith, which is the Lunar Apogee or the dark side of the moon.
The moon moves around the earth in an elliptical shape and the apogee (Black Moon Lilith) is the point where the moon is farthest from earth during this orbit. Black Moon Lilith is not an object, but a point: a purely lunar realm where the moon is in isolation from everything else.
In our chart, Lilith describes where we value free will over inclusion, where we go our own way. Lilith is where we aren't willing to compromise. This part of our chart is where we can access femininity not as a projection that seeks to please (especially to please men), but as a state of divine creation. Our Lilith placement is where we cut the bullsh*t so we can get to the heart of the matter. To expand on a previous analogy, Lilith isn't only the rageful explosion of reputation, she's also the comforting, genre-bending exploration of Taylor's folklore. Lilith is where we let go of the myth of upward mobility and focus on the radical act of just being ourselves. She's non-linear and she doesn't give a f***.
How to Find Lilith in Your Chart
You can use this calculator from the AstroTwins, which calculates all of the various Lilith points. The one we're focusing on—and reading for in the next section—is True Lilith (or the True Osculating Lunar Apogee). This is the point that honors the dark moon's wobbly, wavy orbit and, in our opinion, best represents her true wild woman, catch-me-if-you-can attitude.
What Your Lilith Sign Says About You
The sign Lilith occupies in your birth chart describes your personal style for breaking the rules. Is your freak flag chic and understated (Libra)? Or does a brass band sound cue play with every risky decision (Sagittarius)? Lilith's house placement identifies the most rebellious part of your life, whether that be personal image (first house) or amongst your family (fourth house). You can read for both the sign and house placement to discover your inner b*tch!
Lilith in Aries or the 1st House
With so much emphasis put on personal branding and self-promotion in our society, having Black Moon Lilith in Aries puts you at a disadvantage. You know that true identity and individuation can't be packaged and tied up with a neat little bow and you want to show the world all of the messy, chaotic parts of yourself. You are both an amazing entrepreneur with a unique point-of-view (that comes to you effortlessly) and also someone who deeply struggles with your image. What is it to be somebody anyway? You can find balance through partnerships that reflect your ideas and values back to you. Seek out people who aren't afraid to respond when you ask hard questions.
Lilith in Taurus or the 2nd House
Taurus is the sign of earthly delights, sensuous touch and delicious home cooking. With Lilith here, you're truly a goddess of the earth. You care less about material possessions and more about long term sustainability. As a kid, you likely thrived during your class nature trips and the composting unit in science class. And though you know what objects are truly special (your grandmother's wedding ring, for example), you realize that possessions aren't what makes you happy. You know that humans are living on land borrowed from our future children rather than inherited from our ancestors. Sometimes though, you feel like an outcast when all of your friends are talking about their latest shopping sprees, home upgrades and frivolous splurges. Instead of judging them or calling them wasteful, remember that the things we all have are meant to be shared.
Lilith in Gemini or the 3rd House
You know better than anyone that communication is a game and you want to win it. With Lilith in Gemini, you're a free spirit when it comes to getting your ideas out there. You're never shy about sending an email to your boss at 3 a.m., replying to your crush's text when you can see that they're still typing or spilling your guts all day on your Instagram Stories. Who cares about etiquette when you have something to say? You also refuse to be held to any kind of set schedule and can drive friends and coworkers crazy by showing up late or switching around plans. Let's be real: You've never been at the airport less than an hour before a flight. Living at your own pace means that you sometimes miss out on larger scale opportunities. Spontaneity is your secret weapon, but remember to leave space for the big picture sometimes.
Lilith in Cancer or the 4th House
Lilith in Cancer is the perpetual rebellious teenager: breaking curfew, skipping family dinners and painting your room neon-green without Mom's permission. You know that family isn't just about blood relatives but about finding the people and places that really get you. With this placement, you embrace alternative housing scenarios and are the mama bear of your own chosen family. You're potentially an outcast in your hometown or were the first person to move away and break other long-held traditions. Be careful not to "ground yourself" or isolate when you're feeling guilty about skipping Christmas or confiding in your BFF before calling your sister. Remember that you're fulfilling the dreams of your ancestors. You're meant to share yourself with the world, so don't keep your love locked behind closed doors.
Lilith in Leo or the 5th House
Let's be real: You're proud AF of being a freak. Leo knows love is a superpower and with Lilith here, you're always marching to the loud, eccentric beat of your own drum. You're the type of person who blares your music through your headphones on the subway and dances like no one's watching. On the weekends, you're not just going to the club, you're organizing the rave. No matter how old you are, you'll always know the latest trends and won't be ashamed of being a devoted stan. Birthday parties—for yourself and for your beloved friends and family—are sacred, and you get really bummed out when others can't match your level of enthusiasm. Remember that your unabashed bliss is a secret weapon and don't hesitate to capitalize on your ability to be a living, breathing issue of Tiger Beat.
Lilith in Virgo or the 6th House
When Mr. Rogers said, "Look for the helpers," he was talking about you. You truly have a gift for remaining calm in the face of any storm, health scare or admin nightmare. And this is because you have an idiosyncratic approach to living your day to day life. Your planner doesn't look like anyone else's (or maybe you don't even keep one!) and yes, your apartment is usually a mess, but where other people see chaos, you see a gift. You can rise to any occasion because you're always ready for battle. Though you're everybody's hero, living like this puts a lot of wear and tear on your nervous system. Learning how to unplug and embrace stillness is your biggest challenge. Integration—and probably success—comes when you slow down and communicate your unique rituals to others. The world has a lot to learn from how you live.
Lilith in Libra or the 7th House
You channel your chaos through your impeccable and indiscriminate taste. Whether that's in music, romantic prospects or so-ugly-it's-actually-beautiful designer fashion. You want to shock people with what you choose to complete you and, when it comes to relationships, you're so not interested in any kind of traditional courtship. (Romantic love is an invented concept to manipulate and constrain women, duh.) Remember though that the wild woman you are seeking actually lives within you. You don't need to project so much of your identity onto that rocky relationship or that wine made of grapes aged with partial skin contact in volcanic ash. It's you that makes these things special.
Lilith in Scorpio or the 8th House
When you have Lilith in Scorpio, nothing is taboo. In fact, you're almost too comfortable with diving into your own and others' emotional depths and skeleton-filled closets. You embrace your power through taking risks, especially financial ones. With this placement, you're a natural freelancer and business owner who knows that the road less traveled is often the way to monetary success. You might struggle in traditional jobs for years only to finally make it big when you start an avant-garde aromatherapy business. Though you're always looking to shock and don't care who you alienate along the way, try to remember that for some, security is a sensitive topic. Before plunging even deeper, get grounded in what you already know and try to stay grateful for what you have.
Lilith in Sagittarius or the 9th House
Lilith in Sagittarius is the placement of the armchair philosopher and the public academic. Either you didn't get a formal higher education or you did, but it was a major rebellion against the intellectual traditions of your family––think the art history major in a family of surgeons or the self-taught tech genius in a lineage of public workers. You probably became fluent in German after a year of constant practice with Rosetta Stone while also refusing to speak any other language while out drinking with your friends. When it comes to travel, higher learning and expanding your beliefs, you're a free spirit and a radical. But though you're brilliant, you're also constantly questioning your worth as a thinker. It's important for you to be as proficient in tangible skills as you are in philosophical ideas. Technical mastery keeps you grounded and confident.
Lilith in Capricorn or the 10th House
With Lilith in Capricorn, you're everyone's favorite boss who simultaneously has zero respect for authority figures. You believe that rules are meant to be broken and should be constantly adapting and evolving to reflect collective needs. As a kid, you probably ran your school's student government while simultaneously trying to get the staff advisor fired. Every moment you have in the spotlight is a moment for you to speak up for those who are more vulnerable than you are. You're a cheerleader for all of your friends and coworkers and are hesitant to ever take credit for your accomplishments. It gets lonely at the top though, even for someone who doesn't believe in hierarchy. Remember to carve out space for selfishly dealing with your own needs. It can be your little secret.
Lilith in Aquarius or the 11th House
You're always going to find yourself amongst the freaks and geeks. With Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius, you want to connect with people who aren't like you and who don't share your opinions. You're the type of person who can go anywhere and strike up a conversation with anyone because you have an insatiable curiosity for how other people's minds work. Though most of us only want to befriend those who exist within our same social and economic bubble, you can't stand that kind of homogenous lifestyle. You had no problem making friends with kids from rival high schools growing up and now do a lot of networking in contentious Twitter threads. Remember that it's OK to hang out with people who do share your interests (at least, sometimes). You don't always have to play devil's advocate.
Lilith in Pisces or the 12th House
With Black Moon in Lilith in Pisces, you're ahead of your time. Futuristic visions come to you in dreams, and whether they're about societal collapse or the latest Apple product, what you imagine usually comes to pass. Instead of claiming your title as an oracle though, these visions can make you feel like an outcast. Most people—from your boss to your BFF—aren't ready to hear the things you know, and some might accuse you of having a Cassandra complex. Remember that you're not looking for a prize but are interested in universal love and collective well-being. The more you embody your visions in your day-to-day life, the more impact you'll have. Be the change you already see in the world.

On the Upper West Side, an Emery Roth-designed co-op overlooking Central Park asks $7.4M
All photos: Compass/ Michael J. Franco
A pre-war Upper West Side co-op designed by an influential architect with views of Central Park? It doesn't get much more classic New York City living than that. A stunning eight-room duplex at 15 West 81st Street is now on the market for $7,350,000. Stretching across floors 12 and 13, the spacious apartment not only benefits from a prime address, but also pre-war features, like herringbone floors, original banister, and moldings.
Accessed via a semi-private elevator, the apartment features a long gallery that leads to the living area. Natural light shines on the space through the south-facing windows, which also frame Central Park and the Rose Planetarium at the Museum of Natural History across the street.
Pretty pre-war details like the restored herringbone floors, soaring beamed ceilings, and classic moldings add to the home's distinctive character.
On the other end of the gallery is a formal dining room, with enough space for a large table and storage. In the next room over, there's a butler's pantry with a wet bar and counter space. A windowed kitchen offers plenty of space to cook and dine, with lots of marble counter space and a large center island with seating.
A separate staff room currently serves as a home office but has the flexibility to transform into whatever the new owner sees fit. It also has an en-suite powder room.
Up the staircase to the second floor, you'll find the three bedrooms. The primary suite, which boasts Central Park and city skyline views, has several closets and a walk-in dressing room with a window. The primary bathroom features an original, restored Emery Roth bath with a deep soaking tub and separate shower.
The two additional bedrooms are located on the other end of the hallway, both of which have walk-in closets and en-suite baths.
Located in the Upper West Side-Central Park Historic District, 15 West 81st Street was designed in 1930 by Emery Roth. The architect, as part of the firm Emery Roth & Sons, was the mastermind behind many distinct buildings throughout New York City and along the west side of Central Park, including The Beresford, The Eldorado, The San Remo, among others.
Converted into co-op apartments in the 1960s, the building has a total of 119 apartments and offers residents a full-time doorman, health club, children's playroom, and a garage.

New Delhi: The government extended the deadline for the submission of Expression of Interest (EoI) for the disinvestment of Vigyan Industries Limited on Monday to October 29. The previous deadline opened on September 3 and expired on Monday. Sources within BEML said that the deadline for the submission of EoIs for the strategic disinvestment of BEML subsidiary has been extended on the basis of request from bidders.
Earlier this year, the Ministry of Defence had 'in-principle' decided to disinvest its entire equity shareholding representing 2,69,376 shares held by BEML in Vigyan Industries through strategic disinvestment with transfer of management control. BEML owns 96.56 percent shares in the company.
The disinvestment of Vigyan Industries was started in March with the floating of a request for proposal for the appointment of transaction adviser, legal adviser and asset valuer.
Vigyan Industries was incorporated on September 25, 1963 by two individual promoters and subsequently BEML took over the management of VIL in October 1984. VIL manufactures steel castings suitable for engineering, mining, railways and infrastructure industries and has a single manufacturing facility located in Tarikere to produce steel castings with combined licensed production capacity of 5,000 tonnes per annum of components.

Filinvest REIT posts P1.9 billion profit in 2021
MANILA, Philippines — Filinvest REIT Corp., the real estate investment trust (REIT) of the Filinvest Group, reported a net income of P1.9 billion last year as rental and other revenues reached P3.4 billion.
Filinvest REIT president and chief executive officer Maricel Brion-Lirio said the company performed well despite the challenges.
"We are optimistic of a strong economic recovery in 2022, particularly in the business process outsourcing (BPO) industry, which comprises about 91 percent of our tenant base," Brion-Lirio said.
She said Filinvest REIT has been resilient throughout the pandemic as BPO companies remained operational, albeit not 100 percent, even during periods of the tightest lockdowns.
The company welcomed the government's recent move to transition the information technology and business process management (IT-BPM) sector to on-site office operations by April 1.
This, Filinvest REIT said, is expected to boost the office leasing segment as BPOs rebuild their on-site footprint.
The company's portfolio consists of 17 Grade A office buildings totaling over 300,000 square meters of gross leasable area. Of these, 16 of the 17 buildings are in Northgate Cyberzone in Filinvest City in Alabang, a PEZA Special Economic Zone and IT park while another building is located in the gateway of Cebu IT park in Lahug, Cebu City. The assets were valued by an independent appraisal company at P48.5 billion.
Following the strong performance of Filinvest REIT, the company has distributed three quarterly cash dividends to date totaling P0.336 per share.
This is equivalent to an annualized dividend yield of 6.4 percent which is higher than benchmark rates and better than the 6.3 percent dividend yield it projected for 2021 in its REIT plan and based on its initial public offering (IPO) price of P7.00 per share in August last year.
