In 2005, when Global Steelworks Infrastructure, Inc. [GSII] became Global Steel Philippines (SPV-AMC), Inc., two declarations were published and posted in various plant areas. One was Culture of People and the other was Culture of Management. Both documents were signed by local and expatriate division and department heads. After four years, it is but proper to analyze if these declarations were religiously adhered to.
The declaration on Culture of People dealt with the employee as asset, competencies, decision empowerment and accountability, mutual trust, performance, work-life balance and teamwork.
We recognize our employees as the most valuable asset.
Why is the compensation structure so lopsided that only expatriates are lucky enough to enjoy the fruits of their labor? There is barely a coverage for medical amenities, except for the legal provisions of the Medicare, which at the present rate is very limiting in terms of choices. Pay heed to production employees safety during manufacturing processes by providing each section with first-aid kits during the first year, then forget about replenishment of medical kit supplies for the next three years!
Skillfully declare the sixth day as a No-Scheduled Work [NSW] day to be paid for work rendered on such days with non-cash compensatory leaves, which unfortunately could not be used for the childrens tuition and matriculation, pay the rent or take care of household bills! Expatriates do not have similar problems, only locals do; so why bother?
Limit the instances when local employees could apply for Vacation Leaves and at years end forfeit all the unused vacation leave balances, because of the accumulation of compensatory leaves for work rendered on NSW or on holiday overtime! Or declare employees accumulated Sick Leave balances for safekeeping months prior to its cash conversion, and when that time is due, claim that the company has to postpone the cash disbursement. . . without saying when. Then, declare an Easy Kaizen for improving the corporate sick leave availment to the barest minimum!
We develop multiple competencies for greater flexibility and stretch.
If multiple competencies is one person taking hold of various jobs simultaneously, like a supervisor handling three or four sections comprising a total of 30 personnel in one shift, then it would truly be a stretch, in patience, hard work and effort.
Furthermore, to develop multiple competencies individually, freeze hiring of new employees, then utilize personnel who formerly worked on that position several years ago to assume it temporarily!
Or hire a new employee or a new graduate, train him for several hours, then immediately deploy him in positions, such as line supervision or systems engineering, requiring appropriate skills, ample training and erudite experience.
We empower employees to make responsible decisions and be accountable for the results.
Empowerment is for the expatriates; Accountability is for local employees. Some expatriates make irresponsible decisions and are not held accountable for disastrous results.
Take for example, the defective catalyst used for gas generators which in an unlikely event could have blown out the equipment because the expatriate manager insisted on operating it even to the point where the temperature exceeded the designed maximum!
The instructions of a system engineer to operate a wrong equipment on a different scenario melted some parts of the facilities; a month later the same engineer received a written commendation for doing a good job rehabilitating the same equipment he previously damaged!
Or a manager ordering raw materials without regard to the respective facilities specifications that the materials waited idly for months before they could be used for production runs?
Or an expatriate manager ordering a substitute substance so toxic that no local employees would touch it, yet when the substance was applied to repair the equipment, it ultimately failed to do what the expatriate claimed it was designed to do!
We value integrity and transparency leading in mutual trust.
The management values mutual trust, or the opposite of that word, when it would not even divulge any information as to the financial health of the company, even if most employees already knew that it was having liquidity problems, or most suppliers share this common knowledge!
Regularly deduct from employees salaries their respective withholding taxes, contributions to Pag-ibig, PhilHealth and Social Security System and DO NOT remit them on time to proper government agencies, without the benefit of appropriate explanations for such deliberate delays. Whereby at times, the employee is forced to personally payincluding intereststhese government dues just so they can avail of the respective services.
Beware: local motor vehicles are not allowed inside the plant because locals might take home equipment spare parts and supplies! Return all busted bulbs, blown fuses, and even used waste rags and dirty pairs of gloves, for audit purposes to withdraw new ones, which are usually still for purchase requisition. Next, they might require users to return used papers, empty ballpoint pens, snubs of pencils, or used staple wires, and other used office supplies!
Only expatriates were officially allowed to requisition for notebook or laptop computers, multi-colored printer/scanner/copiers or CD ROM disc writers, and they could definitely bring it home with them at the end of their employment contract; locals are happy with their vintage Windows 95 486DX desktop computers.
We inculcate performance culture by providing equitable opportunities and improvement for employees through recognition.
Personal recognition is reserved for expatriates; locals only receive petty cash, a cellphone or deserve a colorful banner or a short memo, for a job well done. The generation of TPM fuguais, one-point lessons, or easy kaizens are equated to some monetary rewards, that when funds for such rewards dried up, so were the momentum for TPM activities. This is not performance inculcation but rather a brand of Pavlov conditioning?
Institute a production volume incentive exclusively for one area, works-in-process lines, and totally deny the same to the finishing lines, the producers of corporate merchandise. Introduce the incentive to the latter after several months of study and revisions; then when the first hurdle of difficulty after weeks of trying is attained, totally shelve the incentive and cancel the actual pay out!
We promote quality of work-life for total human development.
At the start, expatriates questioned the locals promptly going home after the end of respective shifts and asked why are the locals always were hurrying home after work? Some even censured these same employees and told them to render overtime even without pay, just to show their gratitude for having been hired by GSPI for employment.
Offer livelihood training and seminars, more frequent than those that impart technical skills, so that employees might earn some money when the plant is on shutdown!
Delay the disbursement of employee compensation for several days, making the employees family members suffer financial distress, the employees worry where to get cash credits and become apprehensive as to the future of the company. Re-schedule employees Rest Days, to avoid overtime pay during legal holidays, and disrupt the familiar cycle of shifting schedule, which do not only affect the employee but also his household! Cancel Christmas altogether and declare a plant shutdown for a much-needed longer holiday vacation for all employees.
We value teamwork to achieve desired results.
Question the provisions of the ISO standards on safety, then argue that safety is NOT and NEVER an essential part of ISO 9001:2000 certification. Or state that you are friends with some ISO certifying agents, whom you could request to overlook some of the provisions during the certification audit, thus there would be no need for certain ISO elements. After all was said and done, take personal credit for the successful ISO certification, then happily pose for group picture proving you were part of the team!
Enthusiastically encourage rank-and-file personnel to neatly scatter the mountain of scraps inside the plant to a more horizontal arrangement prior to the TPM audit so that the auditors would not notice it. Teamwork is carefully planning the gemba walk of the TPM auditors so that unsightly areas were definitely avoided, else the company could have been denied of the TPM certification-first category.

2018's God Of War was an absolute masterpiece of a video game. Rebooting the classic action game franchise, and not only maintaining the series' history, but also creating a well acted and well written story. This was also combined with updating the combat to feel more impactful, and sculpting a beautiful world full of things to discover. There's a reason why it won so many awards, and has cemented itself as one of Sony's best games.
Also, it created some really good gifs.
Sony Santa Monica has been hard at work, not only at making games, but also taking the characters from their world of Norse mythology and making them do things. Funny things. Like act out scenes from Anchorman:
In a post made on the PS4 subreddit, user Falconbox revealed an Imgur album he compiled of every God Of War gif made so far. To say it's a treasure trove of hilarious images is an understatement.
The gifs include several pop culture homages that strangely seem to fit the gruff characters of God Of War more accurately than you'd think. Some of these have already been made widely available, such as Atreus' positive reaction to a computer:
Meanwhile, in the eyes of Sony Santa Monica, Kratos seems to share some character traits with Park & Recreation's Ron Swanson. There are two separate gifs that have the dad of war acting out familiar scenes from the show. This is actually kind of amusing and coincidental, since the actress for Freya, Danielle Bisutti, actually appeared on Parks & Rec as a love interest for Swanson.
But there are also some newly discovered gems that have only recently been released for public consumption. These include Freya giving herself a Liz Lemon-esque self high five.
And Loki tapping into his inner Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite.
There are others that are definitely worth checking out. This album is a true gift that we've been given, a gift of gifs you could (and should) even say. Just remember that these heavenly gifs are not to be used for evil, but for the greater good and betterment of all mankind. Use them carefully friends.
There's no official word on what Sony Santa Monica's next game will be as of yet. However, considering God Of War's massive success, and the grand ideas that the game's developers have, it does seem like another God Of War will be on the way eventually. Although likely not for quite some time. Hopefully when it releases on the PS4 or the rumored PlayStation 5, the subsequent gifs will be even more mind blowing.

A Flash of Inspiration
A flash of inspiration is a moment of fleeting creativity that should be caught and built upon. The best way to do this is to act on it there and then. If this is not possible you should write it down or draw it out, instantly, before the moment goes.
A pocket sketchbook is a great way to keep and build on these fleeting moments of inspiration, as a pocket sketchbook is always at your side.
We do not see or know something when we are looking or learning, until we reach a moment of realisation. At this moment it all becomes clear to us and we perhaps wonder why it was so difficult to understand in the first place!
It is satisfying to draw from observation partly because these moments of realisation can be achieved regularly, if focus is achieved. This is because to draw well from observation you need to be honest about what you actually see, rather than just draw what you think is there.
At its best a sketchbook is a diary of visual ideas that can fit in your pocket and stay with you.
Many sketchbooks used nowadays are rather large. This encourages studio creativity, where ideas are brought to the sketchbook, rather than enabling the sketchbook to record the ideas that we come across in life. This has the effect of making art in response to the studio and second hand resources, rather than the observations and inspirations of life.
How do you capture your moments of inspiration?
Drawing Links...
Drawing can be a very direct link between the inner imagination of the mind and the reality of the world. Designers use drawing as a way to quickly develop their ideas visually so that they can see what they imagine and communicate their imagination to others.
Drawing is a system of representation and for a drawing to be read the system needs to be understood. This is a cultural matter and it is interesting to note that there are many drawing systems which we have to learn. For example Ancient Egyptian paintings, with its constant use of human side profiles.
Many drawings try to represent a reality, to be equal to the thing depicted. But drawing is always just itself, any reality is an illusion.
For a very young child, the ability to draw using a system is not formed, but the child can still read into their drawing of marks and see meaning that is not always communicated in a readable way to the viewer. The emotional content might be very readable. Children soon find symbols to represent ideas that can be read by others.
Drawing is at once a form of action and a form of representation.
It is possible to draw abstract marks to represent how you feel. Visual marks on a page can be read in the same way as we can read the subtle fleeting expression in a face or the slight change of tone in a voice.
I believe the focus on drawing as a form of representation, a way of seeing and understanding the world, is a vital skill. But drawing also has an important role in the development of emotional and conceptual thinking. This is underused and should be encouraged.
Do we as a society focus too much on teaching and valuing representational drawing above emotional and conceptual drawing?
Give yourself permission to be creative!
Don't criticise what you create at first. You should let it grow. If it was worth making, there might just be something in it! This is why it is very useful to keep some of your notes and drawings in a folder. They might be very useful in the future.
We all like to think we will make a dramatic change, but I think we don't. Over time we find the best way to be is to be our authentic self. To be the best version of yourself is all that is available, and it is plenty!
Give yourself permission to be creative. Give yourself permission to be an artist. Give yourself a commitment of time and then focus on one thing, the flow of creativity...
Let yourself get into a flow of creativity where your ideas become visual ideas that lead to new beginnings.
To enable the flow of ideas you need to…
Let your drawings develop by themselves; don't think, question or label what you make at first!
Be observant, as if you know nothing and the world is new!
Listen to everyone, be interested rather than interesting!
Be curious about the world, ask questions rather than look for answers!
Be yourself; you have no choice, all the other people are taken!
Find and solve problems, they are everywhere!
Find and make connections!
Be happy to fail; you cannot grow if you are not willing to fail!
If you follow these simple guidelines you will find that your flow of ideas and creativity will blossom over time.
How can you build your creativity today?

Grit, Not Grits: The Pilot
John Gill writes in Art of Bouldering that until a climb is completed with grace, it has not been truly mastered by the pursuer.
It's an interesting statement, especially considering many hard climbs are finished with pumped arms, exasperated breaths, bleeding fingertips, and a heady mantle that turns into a desperate "beach whale" move – a norm especially in the South. A send is a send at the end of the day, but nonetheless, the Alabama native's wisdom goes far beyond the sport.
Climbing isn't easy. I don't know anyone who claims otherwise. Everyone is humbled the moment his or her feet leave the ground to enter the vertical world– and will be for the rest of their climbing career. Whether you're a muscular sportsman, a retired gymnast, or 80-pound preteen, there is always a learning curve to climbing. Those willing to overcome these obstacles encounter something undeniably unique and beautiful to the human experience.
Gill's perspective on climbing is one I try to incorporate into every aspect of my life. A notion that if you're going to pursue something, do it in the most aesthetic way possible. Don't half-ass something, conquer it. Until your project is overcome with unmatched dexterity, is it truly completed? Or are you going to continue improving your work until past objectives seem effortless? This site is an endeavor to bring the Southern climbing community together through a collective media outlet to prove quality surpasses quantity in storytelling, as well as stone.
In Stone Crusade, John Sherman recalls that even if the only thing the South provided to climbing was Mr. Gill himself, the sport would "still owe a great debt" to the region. Fortunately, many renowned climbers have sprouted from the area or arrived years later to find new roots. And embedded between the clay-enriched soil, and thick Appalachian canopy, there lies a terrain full of remarkable rock any climber will learn to respect and admire for its diverse features, textures, and gradients.
Steep South serves as an ongoing project to connect Southern climbers through regional news, personal stories, and photos to undercover what it is we love so much about climbing down yonder. Is it the supreme stone, diverse climbs, Appalachian views, or bona fide camaraderie? I believe it's all of these aspects, and something more. There's some special, unseen ingredient found amid the humidity and 480 million year old rock, and it's not the recipe for your grandmother's cooking. After all, climbing in the South is about the grit, not grits.

An Overview of Chi-Square Analysis: The History, Development, and Applicability of a Common Statistical Tool
There are many different types of information available in the world, and each type can be utilized in very different and highly specific ways depending on both the form of the information and the needs of those utilizing it. These types of information are, in some perspectives, classified into two broader types of information: quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative information is information the can essentially be boiled down to numeric form, and can arise out of either counting or measurement, leading to discrete or continuous data points that can be further analyzed and manipulated to result in deeper understandings of quantifiable phenomena and events. Qualitative data, on the other hand, cannot be reduced to numbers and must be analyzed through other means. Statistics has developed as a field of mathematics that enables researchers to analyze both quantitative and qualitative information in a way that allows for their comparison and analysis in many different ways.
The Chi-Square analysis is one statistical tool that has been developed as a way of analyzing and manipulating qualitative data. Specifically, the Chi Square method was developed in order to compare categorical data in order to determine what type of relationship existed between different qualitative variables (HWS 2010). A drug trial, for instance, might want to compare the number of people receiving a drug to the rates at which their symptoms improved when compared to another group not taking the drug -- the Chi Square analysis test would be a necessary tool in determining the drug's true efficacy.
There are actually several different types of Chi Square analysis that can be utilized, depending on the needs and scope of the research, but the most common of these is the Pearson's Chi-Square test. Karl Pearson was a scientist, philosopher, and mathematician of some renown both during and after his day, and his development of a specific method for analyzing the goodness of fit of a sample distribution and for testing the independence of certain variables/phenomenon (as in the drug trial example given above) is only one of his contributions to the worlds of science and data analysis (Plackett 1983). In 1900, he began working with the Chair of Zoology at the University College of London who supplied a great deal of data to Pearson at a time when his decade of work in correlation (methods of determining the degree to which separate observations occurred together or specifically in the other's absence, suggesting some relationship) and regression analyses (determining the relationship(s) between two or more independent variables on an independent variable) were culminating into the method… [END OF PREVIEW]

WESTCLIFF moved to the Division Three summit after recording a 135-run triumph over Walthamstow.
After winning the toss and electing to bat first, Westcliff reached 202/8 from their 50 overs at the crease.
And impressive bowling allowed Westcliff to skittle Walthamstow out for 67, much to the delight of captain Peter Barnes.
"It was a big toss to win," said Barnes.
"If you set a good total, it's really hard to chase at Walthamstow and you always stand a chance of bowling the opposition out.
"Our batting has been much improved this year and it has been nice to contribute in the last couple of weeks as I got off to a bad start this season.
"Our bowlers were superb and were backed up by some great fielding.
"But credit has to go to the batsmen for setting a tough total to chase on that ground."
Although Charlie Lockhart was dismissed early, Barnes came to the crease and built a 48-run partnership with opening batsman Lewis Wright.
Barnes recorded 57 runs, while Wright added 30 to the total.
Alex Hatton was unbeaten with 37, in an innings which included two maximums.
Impressive Westcliff bowling meant just two of the hosts' batsmen reached double figures as they were dismissed within 28 overs.
Adil Ali was the visitors' most prolific bowler as he recorded figures of 6-12 from just eight overs.
And Barnes was full of praise for Ali, who also enjoyed four maidens.
Barnes added: "Adil Ali was outstanding and has improved week-by-week.
"His performance was even more impressive considering it's Ramadan as well.
"But he needs to work on his celebration after taking a wicket!"

Lose-Lose Parenting: Tough Love, "Last Resorts" and Public Shaming
A stream of consciousness show, in response to a story about the Florida parents who publicly shamed their 15-year-old daughter as a "last resort" act of "tough love."
"We're losing a lot of kids and a lot of teachers because we still view challenging kids the wrong way and handle them in ways that don't address their true difficulties. It's an exercise in frustration for everyone involved, and it's time to get off the treadmill." Ross Greene, Lost At School

Welcome to the website of The British School, Rio de Janeiro. Brazil and Britain have a long relationship. In 1808 the British Royal Navy provided an escort to the Portuguese Royal Court as they traveled from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro to avoid Napoleon's incursions. In gratitude the British community were granted certain privileges to which we can trace the early beginnings of our School.
The British School, Rio de Janeiro was founded in 1924 and has grown steadily over the years from its origins at the British Community site of the Anglican Church, Christ Church, in Botafogo. Today the School is present in three locations, Botafogo, Urca and Barra da Tijuca. The School counts amongst its students and alumni citizens of many nations from around the world. Many alumni have gone on to higher education in Brazil, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. The School wants its alumni to be well rounded, caring, open minded, engaged and inquisitive world citizens who themselves want to make a positive contribution to society.
I encourage you to explore our website, read about our students and get in touch with us to learn more about the possibilities for your children at The British School, Rio de Janeiro.

In 2008, Tall Traditions undertook a one of a kind, new home construction project that featured some of the most innovative developments in green home building. From the site clearing to the finishing touches, great attention was paid to the environmental impact of the creation of this distinctive green home.
Precautions in Site Preparation
This inside-the-beltline home in Raleigh, NC, was built on a lot occupied by a former home. Both the contractor and new homeowners took care to ensure the former structure was responsibly removed and that all materials possible were processed for reuse. This included: recycling bricks for garden mulch; processing old concrete for use in future concrete; and sending all structural steel, glass and copper guttering to metal and glass yards for post consumer recycling. Care was also taken to implement a three phase grading plan which minimized the impact of the development to the surrounding environment and preserved water quality.
The hallmark of Tall Traditions' sustainability efforts in this phase of the project included carefully relocating a gorgeous 50+ year maple tree. While an enormous task, it was well worth it as both the home owners and tree are happy and thriving in their new location.
Innovative Green Building Features
Sustainability features didn't end with the site preparation and planning phases of this project. Every detail of the home's interior and exterior was considered and evaluated with regards to the energy efficiency and the environmental impact. Interior and construction green features included:
- A "sealed crawl space" for higher energy efficiency and moisture control
- Open cell foam insulation system that is both lightweight and provides for greater energy efficiency
- The highest quality Eagle Brand windows that offer low energy transfer from the outside and are outfitted with Argon gas between panes to keep heat transfer to a minimum
- Reclaimed materials were used throughout the house's decorative finishes including reclaimed brick, flooring, and cabinet materials and decorative beams
- The heating and air conditioning system featured the highest performing computerized system available with remote monitoring
- A state of the art water leak detection system for preservation and water conservation
- LL Energy Star energy efficient appliances including a low water use front-loading washer
Green Considerations in the Landscape
In the landscaping plan and installation, designers minimized the turf area used in order to control water usage demands and deployed an irrigation system based entirely on well water so that no city water was utilized.
We invite you to consider Tall Traditions for your green or sustainable building project and to tour this magnificent sustainable home.

Valens Groworks Corp. (OTCQB: VGWCF) stock price has seen steady growth throughout 2019 so far, with one or two mild price corrections on occasion. The company's stock price remained around $1 for the large part of the past 12 months, particularly in mid-2018. Then, in September, it experienced a significant surge which led it to $2.5. However, the resistance at this level proved too tough to be breached back then. Instead, it rejected the price, forcing it back down, and the stock value found itself just above $1 once again.
The price mostly remained between its' support level at $1, and its' resistance at $1.5 in October, November, and December 2018. However, the final days of December brought the change which allowed the price to start growing in months to come. Throughout January and February, the price saw steady growth which once again led it to $2.5. The resistance was, once again, too strong to be breached. While it did cause another decline, this one was much weaker than the last, and the price drop was stopped at $2. In early April, the surge continued, but this time, it breached the resistance with ease, and it even reached $3.5. This level, however, brought new difficulties, and it caused another correction — one that the price is experiencing right now.

Valens Groworks sudden growth in 2019
As mentioned, Valen Groworks went through a period of stagnation in 2018, which ended in early September, a few months after the company announced ISO 17025 accreditation. However, its price kept on dropping after a sudden surge, and the drop continued even after the firm joined OTCQB in November.
Luckily for the company, things started to change soo, after it signed a multi-year cannabis extraction and product R&D agreement with Harvest One. Another big event for the company was the expansion of its research collaboration with Thermo Fisher Scientific, as well as another multi-year cannabis extraction agreement with Canopy Growth. This move kickstarted the stock price's growth, and new partners started coming in much greater numbers.
In January 2019 alone, Valens entered cannabis extraction agreements with Sundial Growers and Organigram, and it announced strategic secondary purchase and sale traction. As cannabis continued to push its way in agritech, Valens soon saw an increase in its extraction capacity, which went up to 240 tons.
In late February, the company signed another extraction agreement with Tilray and yet another with The Green Organic Dutchman in mid-March. It soon became one of the five largest cannabis extraction firms, and its stock went through the roof. Q1 of 2019 brought it around $2.2 million in revenue, and the firm received organic certification for cannabis oil production.

As mentioned, this is now one of the largest cannabis extractors in the industry, and as such, it can only be expected to grow even further up. Investing in Valens Groworks now is one of the best moves investors can make, as the current price decline is about to end soon, and likely lead to another resistance being breached.

Halls are being decked across the land, stores are blasting out festive music and turkeys are getting nervous. Which can mean only one thing – the Christmas season is upon us. Thoughts turn to choosing the perfect, sometimes expensive, gifts for our loved ones. But are we losing sight of what's really important?
Sure, it's fun to surprise your friends and family with lovely gifts, but what if we offer them something far more valuable?
I've come up with 5 gifts your loved ones will really want for Christmas. So go ahead and purchase presents, but how about offering these gifts too:
- Love. This should go without saying, as it's really obvious. Yet we sometimes forget to say and show just how much the people in our lives mean to us. Tell them, regularly! And show them via your actions and by considering their feelings. It's the small gestures in life that can sometimes have the deepest impact on our relationships.
- Attention. It's all too easy to talk to your loved ones without really listening. We chat away whilst doing chores, checking our phones or allowing our minds to flitter elsewhere. We sometimes meet their chatter with a disinterested nod. Give your full attention to the moment, really listen! Show them that what they have to say is important and respected. Give them the gift of a voice.
- Compassion. I know it can sometimes be hard, especially when you are mad at your loved ones, but try to see things from their point of view. Taking a step back, taking a breath and trying to understand what they are going through and having empathy with them has the ability to completely diffuse an argument. Metaphorically walk in their shoes, you might be surprised at the depths of their struggle.
- Belief. The simple act of believing in a person can have the power to completely change their lives. Time and time again, successful adults who grew up in dysfunctional homes have shown to have one thing in common – an adult who believed in them and supported their dreams. Do this for the people in your life. Cheer on their passions, encourage their dreams, be their greatest fan. Whether they accomplish all their dreams or not, your belief is of the utmost importance.
- Patience. This world we live in is filled with instant gratification. Fast food, instant downloads, instant messaging, microwave meals. Is it any wonder that we are becoming less patient with one another? Try to appreciate the joys in life that take a little time and patience. Instead of takeout make a meal from scratch with your child, or significant other, plant a herb garden, write a letter and send it snail mail. Enjoy doing things 'old school' and nurture your patience.
These are the gifts I try to give the people in my life, and not just at Christmas time.

Cursed with the other one's Crime
His pathological gambling turned Mike B. first into a thief, then into an arsonist and an insurance fraudster. For his wife Silke the dramatic end comes completely as a surprise: One evening policemen knock at the door, arrest Mike, and search the apartment for hours. Silke only finds out some days later by reading the newspaper what he is accused of. The story is in the news for days and Silke has the impression that everybody in her small town in Saxony is turning his head to her. She is thirty when her husband gets arrested. Overnight she had to take over the responsibility for her three children and for making a living for the family all of her own. Despite of all her anger and disappointment about her husband's fraud she visits Mike in Chemnitz every second week and makes sure that the children don't lose contact to their father. The film accompanies Silke and her children during one year, shows their day-to-day life but also their visits in the prison.

FOREST HILL — As she entered a Luby's on Monday morning in this Democratic enclave southeast of Fort Worth, State Senator Wendy Davis drew a warm welcome from the roughly 100 attendees at a Veterans Day breakfast. Ms. Davis, Democrat of Fort Worth, had filed to run for governor of Texas two days earlier. "The sacrifices you've made on behalf of each of us will not be forgotten," she said. "I will make sure to fight that we do a better job, a dramatically better job."
Nine hours later and 20 miles north in the conservative city of Bedford, Attorney General Greg Abbott, the leading Republican candidate for governor, received a standing ovation as he unveiled new planks in his campaign platform to a church full of Tea Party conservatives.
"It takes warriors," Mr. Abbott said. "It takes patriots who are willing to stand up and fight back against the liberal agenda. You all are those patriots. You all are those warriors."
The two scenes capture the split political personality that has emerged this year in Tarrant County — both the largest reliably Republican county in Texas and ground zero of Democrats' efforts to shift the state. The county, home of the Dallas Cowboys and Texas' fifth- and seventh-largest cities, Fort Worth and Arlington, has become a focal point in the state's political future.
"Houston, Dallas, Austin, El Paso, San Antonio — all of these are blue; they're all Democratic areas," said Jim Riddlesperger, a political science professor at Texas Christian University. "Fort Worth is the last holdout Republicans have of the big cities."
For most of the 20th century, Democrats dominated politics across Texas. Amid the Reagan revolution of the 1980s, Republicans made inroads in Tarrant County and elsewhere. By the mid-1990s, the Republican Party held a majority of the county's political offices and was well on its way to overtaking the political landscape statewide.
Ms. Davis, whose filibuster of abortion legislation catapulted her into the spotlight this year, is one of two rising political stars from Fort Worth drawing national attention to Tarrant County. George P. Bush, the son of former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida, is a Republican candidate for land commissioner.
Political observers have cited Tarrant County as a bellwether, arguing that if Democrats were to ever win the county again, it would be a sign that the state is poised to flip politically as well. But Republicans see nothing that will change Tarrant from red to blue in 2014. And Ms. Davis has been careful to frame her run as aimed at increasing Democratic turnout statewide and not specifically in her home county.
Nonetheless, her decision to base her campaign for governor in Fort Worth has energized Tarrant County Democrats. Battleground Texas, a Democratic group trying to make the state politically competitive again, has recently relocated some staff members to Fort Worth to coordinate better with Ms. Davis's campaign.
Local party leaders predict that all the attention will persuade more Democrats to compete in local races.
"It's been hard to get Democrats to run in these ballot positions because of the recognition that it's a Republican county," said Steve Maxwell, a former Tarrant County Democratic Party chairman. "The attention Wendy is getting is going to result in more people running on the ballot in these spots than we've had in years."
In 2006, Democrats in neighboring Dallas County swept more than 40 local races, upending the county's longstanding Republican leadership overnight. The Tarrant County district clerk, Tom Wilder, a Republican who has been active in the local party for decades, said Dallas Republicans got complacent.
"They were just coasting off the top of the ticket, and they never built a base," Mr. Wilder said. "We don't have that problem in Tarrant County."
Indeed, Tarrant County's geography has played a role in the area's Republican dominance. Whereas many conservatives in Dallas and Houston left the cities for suburbs in neighboring counties, Tarrant County has retained many of those voters in smaller suburban cities in its northeast quadrant, an area in which Tea Party groups have moved the Republican Party further to the right in recent years.
"It is an upper-middle-class, professional part of Tarrant County," Dr. Riddlesperger said. "Demographically, they look like the Tea Party does nationally."
The NE Tarrant Tea Party, the group Mr. Abbott addressed this week, has emerged as a key player. In a few years, the group has helped replace a handful of local Republican elected officials whom activists found to be insufficiently conservative.
"We know the Republicans are going to win in this area, so the primaries are the key elections for us," said Julie McCarty, the group's president.
An analysis of lawmakers' votes from this year's legislative session by Mark P. Jones, a political science professor at Rice University, found the Tarrant delegation in the Texas House to be the most polarized in the state, in part because of the rightward shift of freshman Republicans elected with Tea Party support.
"The sort of heart of this libertarian-Tea-Party-movement wing of the House delegation, the epicenter is in Tarrant County," Dr. Jones said. (Rice University is a corporate sponsor of The Texas Tribune.)
Ms. McCarty agreed that local libertarians and Tea Party activists have forged a productive partnership in recent years by finding common ground on concerns about state fiscal issues.
"I don't think the Tea Party can win without the libertarians, and I don't think the libertarians can win without the Tea Party," Ms. McCarty said.
Former Representative Todd Smith, a Republican from the northeast Tarrant city of Euless, defeated a Tea Party-backed primary challenge in 2010 before failing in a State Senate bid last year. He said the local Republican Party now felt dominated by activists who did not want elected officials who could think for themselves.
"I don't know whether gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis has a chance to win that election or not, but I do believe that this Tea Party radicalism enhances her chances," Mr. Smith said.
Representative Jonathan Stickland, a Bedford Republican who replaced Mr. Smith in the House and has strong ties to local Tea Party groups, countered that both Democrats and Republicans play a role in the county's polarization.
"The Tea Party gets credit for pulling the Republican Party to the right, but the Democrats are eating some of their moderates alive, too," Mr. Stickland said. "I think more than anything, Tarrant County is kind of ahead of the game on both ends because their voters and activists are hands-on and very engaged."

For most marathon runners, the challenge is the arduous trek across 42.2 km, but at this year's Venice Marathon there was a whole lot more to deal with.
As Italy is lashed with heavy winds and rain, many parts of Venice saw heavy flooding.
A day after the race, organisers said that around 75 percent of the city had been hit by more than a metre of flooding from the storm, which has killed nine people in Italy.
That didn't stop the 13,000 hardy marathon runners though, who made their way through at times shin deep water to the finish line.
Despite the conditions, Ethiopan Mekuant Gebre won the men's race in a time of two hours and nine minutes and Kenya's Angela Tanui won the women's race in two hours, 26 minutes and nine seconds.

Tom Selleck asked How To Install New Light Off Existing Can Light With No Attic?
I currently have two recessed lights over our dining room table and my wife has purchased a chandelier that would be placed between the two lights. The lights are about 4-5 apart and is below a bedroom, so we don't have attic access. We only want a single light switch, so we will only need to tap into the existing line. The home was built in 1999. Can someone give me a quick how to install off of the existing can lights?
And got the following answer:
Sure. * To mount the chandelier you will need to get a box with expandable arm, typically used for ceiling fans. You start by removing** the "can" from the light furthest from the switch (less wires in it) and then cut a neat hole where the fan box will go. "Fish" a piece of romex (14/2 if the circuit is 15 amps, 12/2 if it is 20 amps) across the ceiling. Pull 10"-12" into the new box. Put the expandable arm through the hole, turn it till it is perpendicular to the joist. Check to see if the box will be flush with the ceiling. Twist it by hand till it makes contact, then verify it is where you want it. Use a pair of channel locks to seat the end plates. Install the box with the wire already in it. Now insert the wire into the junction box at the can light. Use a pair of pliers to twist the wires together and reinstall the wire nuts.*** Hang the chandelier according to the instructions and you're done! * To be absolutely sure the power is off, don't rely on the wall switch. Turn off the breaker. And it wouldn't hurt to use a meter in addition. ("Old Sparky" here needed 20 years to learn that!) ** there are 3 or 4 small hex/phillips head screws holding it in place. A combination wrench or stubby screw driver will come in handy. If you get them all out without dropping one "you're a better man than I"! *** Try to remove the outer insulation back to within 1/2 of the entry point, strip about 1/2" of insulation from each conductor. When you have the wire nut in place, check to be sure no bare copper extends past the bottom of the nut.

Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek is reportedly interested in a move to the Premier League this summer with either Manchester United or Tottenham Hotspur both mentioned. This comes from Dutch football expert, Marcel van der Kraan, who was talking to talkSPORT on Monday morning.
The 22-year-old was pivotal for Ajax last season, helping his club to win the Eredivisie title and come close to the UEFA Champions League, beaten in the last seconds of the game by Spurs, who were beaten in the final by Liverpool. Van de Beek played a total of 57 matches for Ajax last season, scoring 17 goals, assisting 14 more – averaging a goal every 242 minutes.
The player signed a new contract with the Dutch champions in January 2018, which runs for another three years. Current reports suggest that the player is linked to Spurs for £45 million with the manager, Mauricio Pochettino thinking that he could be a good replacement for Christian Eriksen, who has stated his desire to leave the North London club this summer.
The 22-year-old could also be seen as a replacement for Paul Pogba at United if the Frenchman does leave the club this summer with Real Madrid and Juventus both interested in the FIFA World Cup-winning midfielder. Speaking on the Alan Brazil Breakfast Show on talkSPORT on Monday morning, Van der Kraan, said:
"Donny van de Beek has his eyes set on the Premier League.
"I think he's a proper Premier League player – he's got a big tank, he's got the education from Ajax, he can play in more positions in midfield.
"I think he's got his eyes set on a club like Manchester United or Tottenham Hotspur.
"I've been talking to his agent, and he said if that would materialise it would be something right up his street."
Barcelona has also been mentioned amongst the number of clubs interested in Van der Beek this summer. They have already signed Ajax teammate Frenkie de Jong, a deal which was completed in January with the player moving to the Catalan club from the 1 July 2019. They are also in the running to sign defender Matthijs de Ligt this summer with United apparently ruling themselves out of the battle for the talented defender.
The 22-year-old spoke about the links to Barcelona after the UEFA Nations League final, in which the Netherlands were beaten by Portugal, which brought an end to the season. Van de Beek suggested that it was not true, which makes you wonder what is going to happen. He did, however, say that he was happy at Ajax, as all players at current clubs end up saying. Van de Beek said:
"It's not true that they have asked about me, a lot of things have come out in the newspapers, but I don't know anything. I have a contract and we will see what happens, but I am happy at Ajax.
"Of course it's nice that my name is linked with Barcelona, but I have to play more and be better and better. Later, we will see what happens in the future. You never what could happen in the summer."
The Dutch international came through the youth ranks at Ajax, starting his career playing for Jong Ajax in the Eerste Divisie. Between the 2014/15 and 2016/17 seasons, he made a total of 35 appearances, scoring eight goals. The 22-year-old made his debut at senior level during the 2015/16 season, playing for two seasons in both teams. He has since played 130 times for Ajax, scoring 29 goals.
The player is a central midfielder but has a more offensive role within a team. Van de Beek has excellent control of the ball and a great eye for passing. He links up with the more attacking players and is dangerous inside the box. Former Ajax captain, Joël Veltman once stated that Van de Beek "works very hard and can play between the lines." This all sounds very good, especially for a team like United, who are currently rebuilding.
The player has not suffered many injuries whilst playing senior level football, so there are no problems that anyone should be worrying about. However, it does not mean he cannot get injured. Predominantly playing as a central midfielder, the player can play as an attacking midfielder, behind the striker, which would bode well for United, especially if they miss out on Bruno Fernandes this summer.

Trend Micro is joining forces with its long-standing channel partner NEC and NEC's affiliate Netcracker Technology, the providers of software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) solutions, to deliver virtualized network security solution that can be used in carrier-grade NFV deployments.
Trend Micro will integrate NEC and Netcracker's management and orchestration capabilities with its Virtual Network Function(VNF) Suite. The VNF Suite is designed to offer flexible, reliable and high-performance virtual network security functions for CSPs from premise, to edge, to the core network, said the company.
At the foundation of the VNF Suite is Trend Micro's innovative deep packet inspection (DPI) technology, which provides various network security functions including intrusion prevention, URL filtering and application control. It has been widely adopted in a variety of network security products, from home routers to enterprise-facing next-generation firewalls and intrusion prevention systems.
By validating and integrating Trend Micro's VNF Suite with the NEC/Netcracker NaaS solution, the companies will be able to work together closely to create further technical and business synergies as more NFV migrations occur.
Dr. Terence Liu, VP of Network Threat Defence Technology Group at Trend Micro
An effective security VNF needs to be natively crafted and optimized for NFV infrastructure, while also working closely with the rest of NFV components to provide the best elasticity and most efficient response.
Shigeru Okuya, General Manager of the SDN/NFV Division at NEC
Bringing together the power of Trend Micro and NEC/Netcracker's SDN/NFV portfolio will provide a more robust network solution for CSPs and contribute to safe and secure networks for enterprises and consumers.

3rd April 2014
A disparate group of enthusiasts gathered at the Hop Pole on March 29th for a litter pick with a difference.
Blessed by warm spring sunshine, some twenty members of the Chesterfield Canal Trust, the Retford and Worksop Boat Club, the Inland Waterways Association and the Canal & River Trust assembled. Peter Hardy, CCT Trustee, lead the assault. Armed with boat-hooks, scoops, rakes, long-handled grippers and other implements the enthusiasts stormed into action. They were accompanied by Seth Ellis – the Trust's tripboat which is based in Retford.
The main attack on the litter was mounted from the decks of Seth Ellis. After five hours of hooking and scooping, forty seven black bags had been filled to bursting (some did) with vast numbers of plastic bottles and metal cans, all of which had been floating on the margins of the waterway. A small towpath party meanwhile combed the verges for more litter and collected a further nine bags full
The Canal & River Trust team had provided a disposal facility at Whitsunday Pie lock and it was most gratifying to see the pile of bags as they were stacked for onward transmission to a re-cycling facility.
Now, for a while at least, both the canal and Seth Ellis look equally smart and ready for the new cruising season.
Thanks are due to the Hop Pole pub for car parking and toilet facilities during the activities. Several participants enjoyed a late, but substantial, lunch on the waterside terrace mid afternoon. The Canal & River Trust loaned some of the equipment. Most of all, great credit is due to the volunteers who gave their time. It was good to have such a large team working smoothly together.
This is one of several recent Clean Ups on the canal. The Retford Civic Society had held one a couple of weeks before and the Canal & River Trust had one in Worksop recently.

May 2019
As recognised by Political Declarations of the UN High Level Political Forum (HLPF) and other UN and civil society analyses, numerous challenges and structural barriers confront the realisation of the ambitious SDG16+.
Collectively, the world is off track in realising the 2030 Agenda and thus realising inclusive and peaceful societies. Around the world, over 40 countries are in active conflict, and 92 countries have become less peaceful over the last 10 years.4 Violence causes 1.6 million deaths worldwide every year.5 5.1 billion people have unmet justice needs globally.
The past year saw ever increasing attacks on human rights and justice defenders; in the area of environmental justice alone, 321 defenders were killed in 2017.7 Civil society faces barriers to participation, relating to inadequate funding, visa restrictions, and the scope, substance, and follow-up to participation.
Structural inequalities, rising authoritarianism, exclusion and tokenization, inadequate capacity, and lack of political will to address peace, justice, and governance issues limit advancement of the agenda. World military expenditure has increased to $1739 billion by 2017.8 Less than 2% of Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) is spent on justice systems, and funding for justice has decreased by 40% in the last 5 years.
Meanwhile, there is an increasing move to accredit military-security spending as a 'progressive' contribution to SDG16+, despite the risks of undermining peace and development efforts. Addressing the underlying causes of conflict, insecurity, and systemic injustice is better done through long-term, upstream investments and early action to address marginalization and inequalities, promoting inclusion, and supporting economic and human development.

"Search Inside the Book" is a feature which allows customers to search for keywords in the full text of many books in the catalog.[126][127] The feature started with 120,000 titles (or 33 million pages of text) on October 23, 2003.[128] There are about 300,000 books in the program. Amazon has cooperated with around 130 publishers to allow users to perform these searches.[citation needed]
Amazon has attracted widespread criticism for poor working conditions by both current employees, who refer to themselves as Amazonians,[178] and former employees,[179][180] as well as the media and politicians. In 2011, it was publicized that at the Breinigsville, Pennsylvania warehouse, workers had to carry out work in 100 °F (38 °C) heat, resulting in employees becoming extremely uncomfortable and suffering from dehydration and collapse. Loading-bay doors were not opened to allow in fresh air, due to the company's concerns over theft.[181] Amazon's initial response was to pay for an ambulance to sit outside on call to cart away overheated employees.[181] The company eventually installed air conditioning at the warehouse.[182]
In July 1995, the company began service as an online bookstore.[31] The first book sold on Amazon.com was Douglas Hofstadter's Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies: Computer Models of the Fundamental Mechanisms of Thought.[32] In the first two months of business, Amazon sold to all 50 states and over 45 countries. Within two months, Amazon's sales were up to $20,000/week.[33] In October 1995, the company announced itself to the public.[34] In 1996, it was reincorporated in Delaware. Amazon issued its initial public offering of stock on May 15, 1997, at $18 per share, trading under the NASDAQ stock exchange symbol AMZN.[35]

While Amazon has publicly opposed secret government surveillance, as revealed by Freedom of Information Act requests it has supplied facial recognition support to law enforcement in the form of the "Rekognition" technology and consulting services. Initial testing included the city of Orlando, Florida, and Washington County, Oregon. Amazon offered to connect Washington County with other Amazon government customers interested in Rekognition and a body camera manufacturer. These ventures are opposed by a coalition of civil rights groups with concern that they could lead to expansion of surveillance and be prone to abuse. Specifically, it could automate the identification and tracking of anyone, particularly in the context of potential police body camera integration.[204][205][206] Due to the backlash, the city of Orlando has publicly stated it will no longer use the technology.[207]

To find out if your products are on it: As your brand grows in popularity, you'll want to use price comparison apps to see if your brand and products are on it. If your brand is on the platform, you'll want to know who's prices are better than yours. If your brand isn't on it but your products are, you may be at a disadvantage if you offer better pricing.
Now Discount's price comparison app helps customers get online prices from local retailers. It helps brick and mortar retailers compete with online retail pricing to draw in more customers into stores. Brick and mortar retailers can choose whether or not to sell the item at the online price or for a discounted price. The app connects consumers to stores in their geographical location. This means that customers can also use this app to compare supermarket prices in their geographic location.
Although we expect to see some of the best deals over Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, we know from last year that Amazon will be dropping decent deals for a much longer period than this. In 2017, the retailer launched its Deals of the Day scheme on 17th November – seven days before Black Friday – effectively stretching Amazon's Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales period to a massive 10 days.
