Implenia employs over 8,000 people from more than 70 different countries. Over the years the Group has taken numerous measures to promote its employees' health and safety. By offering the chance to work on exciting projects and providing a wide variety of development opportunities, Implenia is one of the most popular employers for many professions.
Implenia grew in size during the period under review, partly because of the acquisition of German company Bilfinger Construction in 2014. At the end of 2015, Implenia employed a total of 7,960 people (full-time equivalents, including temporary employees). The company-wide fluctuation rate in 2015 came to 10.9 percent (excluding seasonal fluctuations), which is slightly lower than in the previous year.
People from more than 70 nations work for Implenia; as is usual in the industry, most of these are men. However, the share of women rose in Switzerland and across the Group from 9 percent in 2014 to 11.2 percent in 2015. Implenia treats all employees the same, regardless of their origin, colour, sex, religion or sexual orientation or political views.
The company follows the guidelines issued by the International Labour Organisation (ILO). These deal in particular with employment standards relating to equal remuneration and to discrimination in employment and occupation.
In an effort to ensure equal opportunities in the workplace, Implenia set up a women's desk in 2015 to deal with issues such as wage parity and sexual harassment. Anyone affected by discrimination can contact the desk for advice, help and support, or to report incidents in confidence.
Implenia is committed to transparent, fair and competitive remuneration. For office staff in Switzerland each function is evaluated in terms of the job requirements and the responsibility involved. The result of this evaluation determines the basic salary.
For onsite staff, Implenia keeps to the negotiated collective agreements, or if there is no such agreement in place, to the statutory minimum wages. Implenia makes general wage adjustments by joint agreement, and grants individual wage rises on the basis of employee appraisals.
In addition to their agreed basic salary, managers receive a variable salary component tied to the goals they have been set. Top managers, around 25 of them across the Group, are also paid an additional component in the form of shares.
Employment regulations and social benefits meet modern standards and in some cases are better than the statutory requirement. For example, employees benefit from attractive pension arrangements and an extra week's holiday, while fathers can have a week of paternity leave and mothers can have 16 weeks of maternity leave.
The pension fund's Board of Trustees is made up of equal numbers of employee and employer representatives. At the end of 2015 Implenia's pension fund had a funding ratio of 98.7 percent.
In addition to its statutory pension provision, Implenia runs the "Fondation Patronale" pension foundation, which has capital of CHF 11 million. This was set up to mitigate the financial consequences of illness, disability and death by paying out pension benefits and voluntary inflation supplements, and helping people who have been affected by restructuring.
Construction projects are becoming more and more complex. Mastering the new challenges demands professional and social competence, experience, passion and motivation. These skills and attitudes can only thrive in a conducive working environment. Implenia's core values, such as integrity, transparency, innovation and reliability, are set out in its Code of Conduct and create the foundations for just such an environment. Thanks to the company's flat hierarchies, decision-making paths are short and people are given a lot of responsibility.
Implenia strives to be an international, multicultural, learning organisation, and does what it can to help employees accompany it on this journey. A culture of open discussion is very important here. Employees are told quickly and transparently about important developments and decisions. For example, the CEO regularly sends an electronic newsletter to employees, in which he talks about the current state of the business, individual projects, corporate culture, general economic conditions and prospects for the future.
Implenia wants to be the employer of choice for ambitious professionals. It has already done much to achieve this aim and in 2015 was ranked as one of Switzerland's most attractive employees. In a widely respected student survey of the 100 most desirable employers, Implenia was once again listed in the top quartile for the engineering sector. Around 12,000 students from almost 50 Swiss universities and colleges took part in the 2015 Universum Swiss Student Survey.
Young Generation
With its "Young Generation" initiative, launched in 2015, Implenia encourages communication across the generations – dialogue between current management and the young workers who will largely shape the company's future. Young employees from all regions attended a number of workshops to produce a shared vision of the future. A delegation with an average age of about 30 talked to the Group Executive Board (GEBO) about trends in society, the construction industry and the company, and set out their expectations and proposed solutions. The GEBO used this input to formulate and execute immediate measures and to set out a timetable of medium-term activities. The "Young Generation" will continue to develop as a group and will continue to be given opportunities to contribute systematically to the decision-making process in all areas of the company.
The employee magazine "Impact" is one of the central tools for internal communication. It is produced in four languages and is sent to the whole workforce twice a year by post. Employees can also find all the documents relevant to them on the Intranet. "Yammer", the internal social network gives employees the opportunity to exchange knowledge, share content and talk to each other. Employees also receive information every quarter about the latest decisions made by the Group Executive Board (GEBO).
Finally, Implenia also puts on regular information events about concrete subjects and encourages dialogue through the use of digital discussion forums and personal exchanges with management. At the start of every year around 250 managers gather for a group-wide interactive event focusing on the previous year's achievements and the current year's priorities. This is supplemented during the same period with information events specific to each Business Unit.
Implenia offers an attractive range of training and development courses. "Icademy", established several years ago, is Implenia's in-house training and development concept. It encourages systematic individual development of employees' key skills and abilities. More than 400 employees were trained at 27 different events during the period under review.
Employee development is based on an objective evaluation of the individual's achievements as measured by the "Management by Objectives" approach established three years ago. The company has a modern, web-based employee management system called "Iperform", which maps and supports processes like agreeing objectives, employee development, training and e-learning. "Iperform" is used to offer and coordinate training activities focused on the employees' areas of responsibility and place in the hierarchy.
The "Winning the future" leadership programme was focused more sharply on Implenia's current needs and for the second time was attended by employees from all language regions.
Over the last year Implenia has refined its construction manager profile and introduced the "Fachkarriere" structured career and development model in Business Units Construction German-speaking Switzerland and Construction French-speaking Switzerland. This model describes clear classification, development and promotion criteria for the various construction manager functions, as well as the compulsory training and development measures required to make the next step in the personal development plan. Training is offered as class-room sessions, on-the-job training and certificated courses.
Within this specialist career model, Implenia offers modules covering things like business basics, employment law, and preparing for work. During the period under review, training was given to 119 site managers and construction unit leaders in Business Unit "Construction German-speaking Switzerland".
The aim is to create a standardised career model for the whole group in order to bring on internal talent even more effectively and provide opportunities for long-term development within the company.
The "Winning Performance" programme, introduced in 2014, trains future management talent and new managers in strategy, business, team leadership and communication, as well as in personal and social skills.
Good managers are vital to the company if it is to achieve its aims. As well as knowledge of the management tools, and a command of modern management skills, these managers need to share a common conception of what management is all about. Two years ago, Implenia created a multi-level management training concept to strengthen these qualities. The "Winning Performance" programme, introduced in 2014, trains future management talent and new managers in strategy, business, team leadership and communication, as well as in personal and social skills.
For experienced employees in the upper ranks of management, Implenia has focused the "Winning the future" leadership programme, originally developed with the Executive School of the University of St Gallen, even more intently on the company's current needs. This programme was run for the second time during the period under review, with 22 people attending from across all the language regions.
Promoting young talent and effective internal succession planning are two of the keys to Implenia's success, which is why the company systematically continued to expand its talent management process during the period under review. This includes line managers working closely with HR officers to identify development potential in their staff so that individuals can be given the right development opportunities to help them deal with future challenges. The talent management process also determines the nomination of participants for the management development programme.
Specialists are hard to find, which is why Implenia invests a lot in recruiting new employees. Implenia regularly attends university and college recruitment fairs to tell young professionals, students and graduates from all disciplines about the Implenia Group and the opportunities it offers for careers and training.
Implenia focuses hard on matters relating to operational excellence and has invested in building up internal expertise in industrial construction, as well as in promoting innovative technologies such as Building Information Modelling (BIM). Its strategic partnership with ETH Zurich, launched in May 2016, should be seen in this context. The company is supporting an assistant professorship for innovative industrial construction, as well as working to intensify knowledge transfer between academic research and business. Implenia will be funding the new professorship for the next six years with a total of CHF 2.4 million.
With its 12-month trainee programme in Switzerland and its 24-month programme in Germany, Implenia also offers graduates an attractive gateway into the world of work. During the period under review, this trainee programme was expanded to include commercial trainees. Implenia also supports the ETH Zurich's Excellence Scholarship & Opportunity Programme with an annual contribution. The programme provides additional training to outstanding young talent. In addition, in May 2016 Implenia entered into a strategic partnership with the ETH Zurich, which included the establishment of a professorship (see box).
Implenia believes that training young professionals, as well as being one of its social responsibilities, also directly helps the company reach its goals. Implenia wants to position itself as a benchmark for promoting young talent in the construction industry so it can increase the number of young people it recruits.
During their induction week in Melchtal, 70 apprentices learn the fundamentals and get to know their new colleagues
During the period under review a total of around 280 apprentices were employed by Implenia in on-site or office-based roles. In 2015, 74 people completed their training. Around two-thirds of successful apprentices have subsequently been given jobs at the company. In 2014 the Group appointed a Head of Trainees to implement the apprenticeship strategy consistently and support trainers in their work. In recognition of her work this person was awarded the Cadre D'Or by the "Baukader Schweiz" management association in 2015. Her role focuses on establishing Group-wide quality standards and coordinating all the relevant activities (see the article "We're not just here for fun").
Get stuck in and do it yourself – that was Implenia's message at the 2015 Swiss Futures Day. The day gave girls and boys aged between 10 and 12 a chance to learn about different professions. Trainees and employees at Implenia's head office in Dietlikon and in various offices around Switzerland gave the young visitors an interesting insight into their day-to-day working lives.
Safety at work comes before profit. True to this principle, Implenia has been waging a campaign against accidents for some years now. In 2015 Implenia once again carried out a variety of programmes and campaigns to increase employees' awareness of safety matters.
Implenia's safety culture is based on the expanded Health & Safety Processes set out in the Implenia Management System (IMS). Implenia set up a new dedicated Health & Safety Department at the beginning of 2014. Since 2014, safety has been a fixed item on the agenda of every Group Executive Board meeting, underlining the high priority Implenia gives to workplace health and safety.
Within the two Construction Business Units – German-Speaking Switzerland and French-Speaking Switzerland – where most employees work and where the risks are greatest, OHSAS 18001-certifed programmes ensure effective measures are in place.
Security Officers (SO) are responsible for implementing the Health & Safety Processes in the Business Units. Implenia continued to expand its SO organisation during the period under review. For example, the integration of Health & Safety was intensified as an integral part of work preparation (AVOR) to ensure that safety issues are already addressed when a construction site is being planned.
Raising awareness
Implenia uses regular awareness raising activities on its construction sites, including courses and safety tests, to remind site personnel and technical managers of important health and safety issues.
Emergency procedures for Implenia construction sites are set out in great detail. Emergency plans are available to all employees and are the subject of regular training. To ensure that anyone affected by an accident or emergency is treated quickly, Implenia arranged for 75 employees to receive first aid training from qualified paramedics in 2015.
Implenia's Health & Safety principles also apply to subcontractors and suppliers. Since the start of 2016 work contracts have included a specification sheet detailing the relevant requirements. These include the obligation for each subcontractor to carry out a risk analysis before starting work. Subcontractors are also obliged to give their employees, temporary workers and suppliers training in the content of the Code of Conduct.
When Bilfinger Construction was acquired, Health & Safety was one of the central focuses of integration work. The number of staff working in the Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Department was increased again. Implenia is currently working on a uniform, group-wide approach to accident figure reporting.
All the work done on Health & Safety in recent years is having an effect: across the Group as a whole, the number of accidents per 1,000 full-time employees in 2015 was 86, which is 22 percent lower than in the prior year. As a Group, therefore, Implenia has achieved its target of reducing occupational accidents per 1,000 FTE to under 100. The striking reduction is mainly due to the acquisition of Bilfinger Construction: the business units in Germany and Austria have significantly lower accident figures than those in Switzerland. If the Swiss and Norwegian business units are taken separately, the number of accidents per 1,000 full-time employees moves above the target to 107.
The proportion of injuries caused by tools and equipment has also been reduced. Despite this positive overall trend, Implenia wants to keep driving the number of accidents down, especially in Switzerland. More frequent inspections by the responsible site personnel will be one of the methods used to achieve this. For Implenia, safety is always a management issue.
By contrast with occupational accidents, non-occupational accidents increased during the reporting period, going up by 18 percent between 2014 and 2015. Most of these accidents occurred when playing ball sports, on the roads or as a result of slips and trips in the home and garden. The rate of absence due to illness remained about the same.
New Health & Safety award
In 2015 Implenia launched its Health & Safety Award to celebrate outstanding achievements in the field of health and safety at work by a construction site, team or individual. One of the main aims of this is to encourage employees to take responsibility for Health & Safety. A jury selects a shortlist of four from all the proposals submitted. Employees then choose the winner in an online vote. The inaugural award was presented in February 2015 to Antonio Barbagallo, a foreman who saved his colleague's life by noticing the first signs of a heart attack and administering immediate first aid. The 2016 Health & Safety Award went to Beat Klaus who introduced regular morning exercise sessions at a construction site in Killwangen (Canton Aargau). The jury also presented a Special Award in 2016 to the Arnstadt site (in Thüringen, Germany), which has remained accident-free for five years.
In October 2015, Implenia set up an internal department for occupational health management. The specialists in the department support staff who have suffered accidents or illness, and help them return to work. They also work on prevention and will be launching health campaigns focusing on stopping smoking and promoting exercise, nutrition and workplace ergonomics. In 2015 and 2016, for example, Implenia took part in the national "Bike to Work" campaign.
Employees in stressful situations – particularly victims of accident and illness – have a greater need than most for information, and the internal occupational health management service provides them with the support they require. Medical professionals trained specifically in occupational health matters provide personal care and help with administrative challenges, as well as supporting the company on issues relating to health in the workplace.
For Lisa Bjørvik, Quality & HSE Manager at Tunnelling Implenia Norway, it's obvious that "women are good for the working environment".
Norway is a world leader when it comes to health, safety and environment (HSE) practices, partly because of the stringent rules that apply to the oil and gas industry there. Laws, regulations, strict guidelines and certifications, but also targeted practical measures, all help to prevent injuries and accidents at work. A firm determination to reduce occupational accidents to zero is reflected in the accident statistics. With only around 30 accidents per 1,000 full-time posts in 2015, Norway recorded the lowest accident figure in the whole Implenia Group.
Lisa Bjørvik is QA and HSE Manager at Implenia Scandinavia. In this role she is responsible for ensuring that Implenia's most northerly construction sites comply with all the relevant safety and quality standards. She makes sure that every employee on site completes a special safety course and signs a personal safety declaration before they start their first day's work. All injuries and accidents that occur during a project have to be carefully recorded and reported. Lisa Bjørvik then takes immediate steps to prevent any similar accidents from occurring in future.
She has a very varied working day: "Quality Assurance (QA) and Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) are very interesting areas. Everything changes constantly and there is never any shortage of work to do. There's always something new to learn. No day is like another and you always have to be flexible enough to change your plans spontaneously."
Norway has invested a lot of time and effort in accident prevention. Implenia's HSE staff are well trained and regularly conduct exercises to work through different scenarios. Unfortunately the same level of diligence is not always found among subcontractors, so many of their workers are sent on an HSE training course. Lisa Bjørvik believes it is important for on-site employees to internalise the HSE message and let it inform their day-to-day work. Accidents happen quickly on building sites, so safety is always the number one priority.
"Working on building sites isn't for every woman," says Lisa Bjørvik. "You have to be extrovert and be able to accept a rough and ready style at times. And a sense of humour doesn't hurt when you want people to listen to you." Even today, there still aren't that many women working on building sites, but the trend is going upwards. Lisa Bjørvik has no doubts: "Women make for a better working atmosphere. I believe that a good mix of male and female is always an advantage, and you definitely see that in health & safety, where a lot of women work. I would recommend that every woman tries working on a construction site at some point!"

Big data has been the next big phenomenon in the insurance industry for years, but only a few insurance carriers have been able to successfully turn big data into insights. For many, big data continues to be an elusive target they hope to leverage in some distant future. But for now, nothing has changed and it is still business as usual throughout most of the industry.
Recently Insurance Business Magazine conducted an interview with BJ Schaknowski, senior vice president and chief sales and marketing officer at insurance software service provider Vertafore. One reason he gives for insurers not leveraging big data is that they are not "working with a provider [who can take] really good data that may not have been available historically and put it into a very consumable format."
As the buzzing of big data's promise increases, the reality is that there is no pause in the amount of digital information that is being generated. As noted above, most insurers are struggling to wrap their hands around successful big data initiatives. So, rather than giving up on the promise of big data due to challenges like the disconnection between IT teams and business needs, they should look for a solution that mediates this disconnect. But, not all insurers are equal, neither are all solution providers. Identifying the right vendor that can translate technical jargon into business context is the most efficient starting point. Ideally, this would be a data governance solution that bridges the two worlds so the business user can understand their data and then use it to solve business problems.
Data governance often means a variety of things for different organizations across different industries. Considering how much data is delivered to insurers, you often have to think about data governance as the process that delivers data that can be trusted and used to make business decisions on a repeatable basis.
When insurers look for a data governance solution to help them leverage their big data, identifying a solution that delivers complete transparency into all aspects of their data assets, from the data available, its owner/steward, lineage and usage, to its associated definitions, synonyms and business attributes is critical. Full visibility will allow insurers to gain valuable insights into not only the details of their data assets, but the attendant risks associated with its use across business applications.
Additionally, it's just as important to find a solution that is easily navigable and not overly technical. This helps keep all users in mind – from your data scientists to business analysts, who both have equal needs for data, but at varying levels. It should put important, trustworthy information right at the fingertips of all users within an insurance organization. However, leveraging big data in the insurance industry goes beyond data governance. Insurers will need an all-inclusive big data platform that also includes data quality and analytics capabilities.
A big data platform includes a data quality solution can help ensure data errors do not occur. The solution should include a standardized, auditable, and automated end-to-end data quality framework to remain vigilant and catch errors before they impact business.
An analytics component can help insurers extract insights from their data. This allows them to make faster, smarter business decision and improve the customer experience, leading to more money and less customer churn over time.
Insurers need to be on the lookout for a comprehensive, big data platform that includes data governance, data quality and analytics capabilities. The first insurers to implement this type of platform will enjoy a huge competitive advantage within the industry.
To learn more about how data quality and analytics can help wrap around a successful data governance framework to avoid failing big data initiatives in insurance, check out the data sheet below.

I was definitely surprised to see this prototype at the Russo and Steele auction. It's the Mastretta MXT, the first Mexican made sports car. To me that is the cars only claim to fame, but who knows, maybe we will see more of them jetting around Scottsdale road one day. Originally, I knew nothing about this car other than a bit about the Top Gear controversy. If you haven't read about it I'll go ahead and catch you up with this snippet from Wikipedia:
"During the second episode of series sixteen, the presenters mocked the Mexican Mastretta sports car on account of it being designed in Mexico. James May introduced the car as "The Tortilla", then remarked that he did not remember what it was called. Hammond then stated: "Cars reflect national characteristics … a Mexican car's just going to be a lazy, feckless, flatulent oaf with a moustache, leaning against a fence asleep, looking at a cactus with a blanket with a hole in the middle on as a coat." This was followed up by James May suggesting that all Mexican food resembles "refried sick", Richard Hammond remarking, "I'm sorry, but just imagine waking up and remembering you're Mexican" with a look of disgust on his face, and Jeremy Clarkson adding, "It'd be brilliant because you could just go straight back to sleep again!" Clarkson ended the segment by suggesting that the Mexican ambassador to Britain would be too lazy to make any kind of complaint. This prompted the Mexican ambassador, Eduardo Medina Mora, to write to the BBC"
Although I can appreciate the humor and its intent, I'd like to think that (living in Phoenix) I know a bit more about Mexican stereotypes than any smooth talking Englishman ever will, and they are simply wrong. That aside, this Lotus like baby sports car does nothing for me and Mastretta's kit car heritage comes across as strikingly obvious.
The car was being sold with the following text:
"2012 Mastretta MXT Prototype
Vehicle to be offered for Auction sale WITHOUT RESERVE and SOLD to the highest bidder January 15th-19th at Russo and Steele's 14th Annual Scottsdale Arizona Auction. Please contact us for more information.

For 15 years the Wheaton College football team has echoed "Let's Roll" before every game. CBS Sports reports that this season Todd Beamer's son, David, will play for Wheaton College.
Todd Beamer (November 24, 1968 – September 11, 2001) — graduate of Wheaton College — was a software account manager at Oracle Corporation and a passenger aboard United Airlines Flight 93, which was hijacked and crashed on September 11, 2001.
As for the terrorist attacks in 2001? The terrorists on one aircraft did not reach their target, which was either the White House or the US Capitol. Todd Beamer's famous words "Let's Roll" were expressed just before passengers aboard Flight 93 charged the terrorist hijackers. The passengers' attempt to overtake the hijackers and reclaim the aircraft led to the aircraft's crash into a field in Stonycreek Township near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Destination Imagination & my birthday & other updates
David headed off to the Netherlands for a business trip last Tuesday (March 3) and got home on Monday (March 9). When I came home on Tuesday, I found a small note (filled with love!) from him in one of my plant's pots. I then discovered them all around the apartment. The one I found the night before he got back was kind of gross. He put it in a jar of my hand cream…it was soggy. I was so busy while he was gone, and am still very overwhelmed with how much work I have, that it wasn't too lonely. I didn't quite have time to realize how much I missed him until he got back.
Saturday (March 7) was my first DI meet of the season, and it was also my birthday. When I arrived at the tournament, another DI board member gave me a flashing pin that said in big letters, "It's my birthday!" I was a Head Appraiser (Regional Challenge Master) and in charge of a team of amazing appraisers, many who I knew from past years. I really couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate my birthday. I can't explain how much I love the people who volunteer for this program–they are a wacky, fun, passionate, kid-loving, creative bunch.
I've never felt more popular; all day kids (and adults!) were running up to me and singing or wishing me a happy birthday. There was a team of first graders who I was talking to before they performed. One young boy politely asked, "Why does your pin say 'It's my birthday!'? I said, "Because it's my birthday!" Their eyes bulged, as if this was totally shocking news, and then they became very excited. Another elementary school team asked me how old I was turning. When I told them I was 24, a boy who was probably around eight years old, and was wearing jeans and a white teacher, and had his hair gelled for their performance, exclaimed, "You don't look ANYWHERE near that old!!" I told him that I get that a lot.
At closing ceremonies, the tournament director had the entire crowd sing happy birthday to me. It was such a long day (my challenge had 18 teams!), but it flew by. I had almost forgotten how energizing tournaments can be. It's absolutely amazing to see what kids are capable of creating on their own. I always feel so much gratitude that I get to be a part of this amazing community. I have met so many friends through this program.
After a recent DI appraiser training that I helped lead, I looked through some photos of my teams. I'll just share one photo right now:
Both my parents were at the tournament (my dad as a board member, my mom as an appraiser), but we celebrated my birthday on Sunday, at my grandfather's. My dad made vegetable lasagna (I will get his recipe and feature it here soon, I hope) and we had a chocolate raspberry cake for dessert.
I am so touched by all of the cards & emails & nice things people have sent me for my birthday. Thank you! I am truly lucky.

Many have heard about the virtues of probiotics proclaimed in health magazines and on containers of Greek yogurt. Probiotics are live flora that naturally happen in particular foods– from fermented veggies, such as sauerkraut or kimchi, to live-cultured yogurt.
They're also contributed to some high-end dark chocolates and readily available as supplements.
Broken down, the term probiotic means for promoting life.
While it sounds excellent, you still may question: are probiotics simply another trick, or is there some science behind the health advantages? Probiotics can help cure some ailments that may shock you. Resource: http://goldenfeahterstables.weebly.com/home/be-sure-to-check-out-this-miracle-biotics-review-on-youtubecom
Healthy bacteria are microbes that offer some form of health benefit and they can be found in numerous different foods. Probiotics are believed to play crucial functions in managing appropriate digestive tract function and food digestion.
This accomplished by balancing intestinal tract microflora.
If irregularity, bloating, and gas are essential signs of your irritable bowel syndrome, a cup of yogurt a day might keep you regular throughout the day.
There are reports that those who ate 2 4-ounce servings of live-culture yogurt throughout a study experienced less bloating and more bowel movements after a few weeks. Another way to obtain healthy bacteria into the intestinal tracts is to take a probiotic. These help to provide healthy bacteria and restore a healthy balance of good to bad bacteria in the gut. As specified, probiotics are also offered in supplement form as capsules, liquid and chewables. There are several pressures of probiotics, however the most common strains available today in are common forms of healthy bacteria. Many probiotics are sold as dietary supplements, which do not undergo the screening and approval process that drugs do. Producers are accountable for making certain they're safe before they're marketed which any claims made on the label are true. But there's no guarantee that the kinds of germs listed on a label are effective for the condition you're taking them for. Health benefits are strain-specific, and not all strains are always useful, so you might wish to speak with a professional familiar with probiotics to discuss your choices.
As constantly, let your medical care company know what you are doing.

Looking for a completely UK based, broadband provider with the state-of-the-art infrastructure, offering the highest standard of broadband connectivity and 24/7 customer support for 365 days a year?
Origin broadband is an ideal option for such needs and what's more, you need not pay more for this better quality of service while you can also make extra savings with Supersaver deals from this Yorkshire based operator.
Origin offers standard ADSL and fibre broadband service all across the UK. Its own core network connects more than 50 locations including Manchester and London, while other areas are connected via Openreach network, linking offices, exchange buildings and data centres across the UK.
Origin Broadband Packages
Origin offers ADSL and fibre broadband with line rental. Call plans like evening & weekend, anytime and anytime with international calls can be added with additional fee.
- Origin Broadband plan offers 'up to' 17Mbps download speed (up to 2Mbps upstream), truly unlimited data usage, free wireless router and free installation. 12 month contract applies.
It is one of the cheapest, unlimited broadband deals with a monthly price of £18.49 which includes line rental.
However, you can save up to 30% or £311.53, when you choose Supersavers and pay in advance for 12 or 24 months
- Origin Fibre package comes with 'up to' 38Mbps downloads speed (up to 10Mbps upstream), totally unlimited broadband usage, free installation and wifi router. It is one of the best value deals when you need superfast broadband for your home. 18 month contract applies.
Opting for Supersaver 18, you can save 15% or £42.83 by paying in advance for 18 months.
- Origin Max offers 2x faster fibre broadband (up to 76Mbps) and truly unlimited usage. Upload speed can peak up to 19Mbps to help you upload large files in minutes. The deal comes with free activation, wireless router and free delivery. A minimum contract length of 18 months applies.
Here, again, you can go with upfront option and save £39.83 when you pay in advance for 18 months
What is Origin broadband good for?
Origin has been recognized as one of the quality ISPs in the UK despite its small customer base. Its service has been awarded and rated highly by customers and organisations.For broadband and phone customers, it offers some genuine reasons to consider it as their provider:
- Reliable broadband speeds without traffic shaping
- Totally unlimited downloads without any hidden cap
- Cheap broadband packages which include line rental price
- Great savings and no monthly bills when you opt for Supersaver deals (upfront payment for 12 or 18 or 24 months)
- No extra costs like installation, router or delivery. Package includes them at no extra cost.
- UK based technical support anytime, all year round.
Cheap, affordable, reasonably priced, award-winning broadband
One of the highlights of Origin broadband is that it is quite able to offer low cost packages to its customers using modern network and advanced technologies which accounted for its huge investments over the years. Its budget deal which is suitable for small families does not require you to pay anything for broadband but only for line rental. Its two fibre broadband deals are fairly priced and come with no setup costs.
No extra costs
Monthly cost includes line rental to help you know the total cost that you would pay every month and all Origin broadband packages do not require you to pay anything more than that. All deals come with free installation and free delivery of routers.
Truly unlimited broadband
Origin broadband offers unlimited downloads without any fair usage policy to restrict your usage at hidden levels. Since, there is no traffic shaping or management over your connection, you can fully use your bandwidth for all your internet activities to your satisfaction. Faster speeds and unrestricted usage throughout the day and night.
Free hardware
Origin includes a free Asus DSL-N16 wireless router with all packages and delivers it to your home free of cost. With high performance WiFi router, you can connect multiple devices via home wifi to access internet for various online activities.
High end routers such as Asus RT-AC1900 WiFi router are available for upgrade with an extra fee.
Fibre broadband
Like most UK providers, Origin offers two typical fibre speeds – 'up to' 38Mbps downstream and 'up to' 76Mbps downstream. Origin's nationwide fibre service is easy to get in your area, provided you have Openreach network and landline. Upload speeds are remarkable with a range of 10Mbps – 19Mbps. Pricing is quite honest without any hidden costs and the cheaper total cost and saving opportunities can quite surprise you.
24/7 UK based technical support
Origin offers UK based customer support which is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year via phone, email and web based applications like Twitter. You can get help whenever you need.
Supersaver deals
You can save one third of your money with Supersaver options which requires you to pay in advance which results in savings of up to 31%.
For instance, the entry-level Origin broadband & line rental package which usually costs £18.49 a month will cost just £154.99 a year on 12 month contract (£12.92 p/m equivalent) or just £279.99 a year on 24 month contract (£11.67 p/m equivalent) when you pay upfront.
Likewise, You can save £42.83 when you pay in advance for Origin Fibre which usually costs £25.99 a month. However, Origin Fibre Supersaver 18 will cost just £424.99 upfront or £23.61 per month equivalent.
Origin Max Supersaver 18 (standard price: £29.99 a month) has £39.83 discount, when you pay £499.99 upfront for the full 18 month Max service.
Origin offers some of the best 'value for money' deals in the UK market, still, it lacks a few additional features that major ISPs offer with their packages.Price wise, you can find cheaper deals with other providers if you look out for budget packages.
Origin service does not offer attractive extras like free public WiFi, web storage and internet security like BT, SKY and Virgin Media.
Bundling options are limited whereas other major providers which offer TV and mobile offer lots of choice to their customers. If you need multiple services for your home, you can better consider Sky, Virgin Media and BT as bundles can help you make great savings plus you can get the right deal for all your needs.

Short Bio
Daniel Skambracks is Senior Environmental and Social Specialist at KfW's Competence Center for Environment and Social Sustainability. Since 2005 he is responsible for environmental and social due diligence of projects in Developing Countries financed by KfW. Rational of this work is to assess sustainability risks and to assure sustainable financing in a diverse spectrum of infrastructure, mining, energy or conservation projects.
"Wind Energy, Wildlife Impacts and Banks" – How banks can promote sustainable Wind Energy development
We are facing a vast development of wind energy in developing and emerging countries. This development will be financed to a high extend by development banks like KfW Development Bank. How can financiers assure sustainable implementation and operation of renewable energy projects in countries that do not have robust environmental and social governance, legislation systems and institutional capacity designed to protect their people and the natural environment?

Andrea Fissore graces us with two delicious tracks with a blend of house and nu-disco but with a bit of a techy edge as well with his 'Back In The Days EP'!
The title track 'Back n The Days' grows on you with a warm and grooving bass line, airy synth lines and gentle synth bleeps.The first remixer on this is Lithuania's finest and talented Weepee, who takes things on a prog route adding his own touch and relentless groove, edits the synth lines and delivers a truly hypnotic version.
Andrea goes for a cutting edge slice of modern house with 'Downtown Stories'. A funky bass line drives the track while a simple but yet effective groove marches along with the vocal stabs and some synth action! Old school techno is where Nik Feral takes his remix for 'Downtown Stories'! A moving sub bass line joins a thumping groove driven by hi-hats and all is topped with a clever use of the original synth parts and vocal stabs. A package full of different vibes and grooves.

Although dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) have been trained to match numbers and durations of human vocal bursts [1] and reported to spontaneously match computer-generated whistles [2], spontaneous human voice mimicry has not previously been demonstrated. The first to study white whale (Delphinapterus leucas) sounds in the wild, Schevill and Lawrence [3] wrote that "occasionally the calls would suggest a crowd of children shouting in the distance". Fish and Mowbary [4] described sound types and reviewed past descriptions of sounds from this vociferous species. At Vancouver Aquarium, Canada, keepers suggested that a white whale about 15 years of age, uttered his name "Lagosi". Other utterances were not perceptible, being described as "garbled human voice, or Russian, or similar to Chinese" by R.L. Eaton in a self-published account in 1979. However, hitherto no acoustic recordings have shown how such sounds emulate speech and deviate from the usual calls of the species. We report here sound recordings and analysis which demonstrate spontaneous mimicry of the human voice, presumably a result of vocal learning [5], by a white whale. Read more…

Trueform Concrete just finished up a custom Dining Room Concrete Table. This unique table was designed by Jana Manning of Manning Design Group. The custom shape is a one-of-a-kind concept that creates dining space for 10 people to sit. The total table length came in at 9′ 5″ long x 40″ wide. The notches and bump-outs were 22.75″ long x 4″ deep. The concrete table was a custom gray color and had a 2.5″ thick apron edge. The actual concrete table top thickness was 1″ thick to decrease the weight. An extremely flexible and high strength concrete mix was used to cast a durable and stable concrete table. The base was created by Colin Kelly Design and constructed of tube steel. The design was sleek and had a ribbed spine structure that gave the concrete table top support all the way down the piece. The end product was a very fun and functional Concrete Dining Room Table.

Anthony Comstock
Comstock began his crusade against vice slowly, but found support and assistance. In 1872 he worked with the YMCA to create the Committee for the Suppression of Vice. In 22 months the Committee arranged for thousands of books, photographs and printing plates to be seized in anti-vice raids. Financial supporters of the Committee came from among the city's richest and most powerful families and, before long, his support spread to the nation's capital.
Comstock's supporters backed his efforts to convince Congress to institute a new federal anti-obscenity law. Legal experts stepped in to help refine the bill. Speaker of the House James Blaine agreed to push the bill through, it passed in 1873, and President Grant signed it on March 3. The bill, which became known for its champion, was nicknamed the "Comstock Act." The first federal law to deal with obscenity in the mail had been passed in 1865. Comstock's law strengthened punishments and widened definitions of obscenity (adding information about abortion or contraception to the list of indecent matter). Shortly after the bill was signed, Comstock received a commission as a Special Agent of the U.S. Post Office, giving him the power to enforce his law.
Comstock's zealous pursuit of the printers and publishers of obscene material overwhelmed the other aspects of the law that he created and enforced. While arresting those who published materials that still would be considered obscene today, he also hunted and arrested those associated with legitimately artistic works. His enthusiasm for arrests and the breadth of his pursuits led to the creation of the word "Comstockery," an overzealous moral censorship of art and literature.(2)
Chasing down purveyors of immorality was neither Comstock's goal, nor the only ills his Act sought to remedy. The Comstock Act was concerned with a wide range of misuse of the U.S. mails. Comstock used his position to track down a variety of get-rich-quick promoters who used the mail during schemes to bilk Americans by selling counterfeit currency, and fake securities, land or mineral rights, among other endeavors. He also began looking into medical quackery advertisements selling "cures" for a wide range of ills.
Comstock continued his crusade and remained a special agent for the Post Office Department until his death in 1915. Bits and pieces of his Act were challenged and eliminated over the years. Birth control advocate Margaret Sanger was an influential force in successfully challenging some of that legislation. The last piece of Comstock's Act came down in 1965 when the Supreme Court decision on "Criswold v. Connecticut" lifted all restrictions on the use of contraceptives by married couples.

Much of the attention to the Byrds historically has gone to lead guitarist Roger McGuinn for his key role in the group's distinctive sound. After McGuinn, the spotlight often landed on fellow members David Crosby and Chris Hillman for their considerable contributions to the Byrds and a string of influential bands thereafter.
That's often left singer, songwriter and guitarist Gene Clark overlooked for his major part in the Byrds' legacy.
On Sunday, however, the spotlight will be fully on Clark in conjunction with what would have been his 70th birthday (he was born Nov. 17, 1944) with a tribute show at the Hotel Café in Hollywood featuring his former collaborator Carla Olson, Byrds-influenced bands including Beachwood Sparks and Mother Hips, Clark's son Kai and several others.
Beyond saluting his role in the Byrds — Clark wrote some of the group's most important songs, including "I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better" and "Eight Miles High" — Sunday's event also will highlight the recent reissue of Clark's excellent 1977 solo album "Two Sides to Every Story."
Like so many rock musicians who came to Los Angeles in the 1960s, Clark got caught up in the folk-bluegrass-country-rock stew that was simmering at the time.
A Missouri native, Clark embraced all those strains in songs on his solo album, including the bluegrass-steeped "In the Pines," the sprightly "Home Run King," the straight-country ballad "Lonely Saturday" and one stunning, epic ballad of farewell to love and life, "Give My Love to Marie."
Clark, who died in 1991 at age 49, got stellar support on the album from banjo master Doug Dillard, steel guitarist Al Perkins, fiddler Byron Berline and singer Emmylou Harris — all of whom were also headquartered in L.A. at the time. But the album came and went almost without a trace of public recognition, and never so much as grabbed a lower rung of the Billboard 200 albums chart.
That may be in part because it was released on RSO Records, the label formed in the early '70s by Australian entertainment mogul Robert Stigwood that had been scoring huge successes on the charts at the time. Mostly, however, that success was tied to the Bee Gees disco hits and the related success of the film soundtrack for "Saturday Night Fever" rather than the American roots music Clark was exploring.
High Moon Records has reissued "Two Sides to Every Story" in a deluxe package with a detailed essay written by Clark biographer John Einarson, additional photos from the time the album was recorded and released and other replicated memorabilia.
It's an album that deserves a spot in the collection of any genuine Americana music fan.

Uganda, 21 September 2015: International Day of Peace: Government and UNICEF promote teaching and learning for peace
21 September 2015, KAMPALA, Uganda – UNICEF and the Ministry of Education, Science, Technology, and Sports (MoESTS) have declared 21 September as a day of Learning and Teaching about Peace in all Schools in Uganda, as part of the activities to commemorate the International Day of Peace.
Observed since September 1982, the Day was dedicated towards strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples.
The theme of this year's commemoration is "Partnerships for Peace – Dignity for All" and aims at highlighting the importance of all segments of society to work together to strive for peace.
UNICEF through its Peacebuilding Education and Advocacy (PBEA) programme is working closely with the Ministry of Education, Science, technology and Sport (MoESTS) to bring the topic of peace into the classroom. Education has the potential to build the capacities of children, parents, teachers and community members to prevent, reduce and cope with conflict and to promote equality and peace. In addition, the benefits from investments in education are tremendous and well documented. They include greater economic growth, improved public health and more resilient and peaceful societies. It is for these reasons and more that UNICEF and the Education Ministry have decided to promote peace in schools. Children and adolescents have a unique role to play being future citizens and leaders.
To achieve this, primary and secondary education institutions across Uganda shall utilise elements of the curriculum that promote peace, and plan their lessons around the theme. In addition, schools have been encouraged to mark the day with other extra-curricular activities for example Music, Dance and Drama (MDD) performances, class debates and presentations, school competitions (games and sports), all around the theme.
"The Primary and Secondary curricula in Uganda already contains elements of peace education that are often not prioritised by teachers because these are not examinable subjects," says Hon. Jessica Alupo, Minister of Education and Sports. "On this day therefore, we would like teachers across Uganda to utilise any elements of the curriculum that promote peace," she added.
The recently endorsed Sustainable Development Goals also call for the promotion of just, peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, the provision of access to justice for all, and building effective, accountable institutions at all levels. This is stipulated in Goal 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.
Partnerships are critical in promoting peace. Among the key highlights of the UNICEF PBEA programme is the strengthened partnership with Government and Civil Society at central and district levels around an 'education for peacebuilding' agenda that recognizes and promotes the role of education to build sustainable peace. Through such strategic partnerships, UNICEF has worked extensively with the Government of Uganda to develop a national Peacebuilding Policy, especially towards strengthening its inclusivity of women, children, and youth.
According to Ms. Aida Girma, UNICEF Representative in Uganda, peace building is not new to UNICEF. Helping children live in peace has been at the core of UNICEF's work since its inception.
Girma has called on stakeholders to promote peace within their programmes. "With a peaceful nation, ALL children will have a chance to enjoy their childhood as well as contribute towards building a peaceful nation tomorrow," she concludes.

|Re: Remembering imports between script invocations
|Fri, 09 Feb 2018 16:34:26 GMT
I'm not sure if it's what you want but you can use "evaluate" to include one script into another (see http://gangmax.me/blog/2015/10/15/include-a-groovy-script-in-another/) althought I think is a little dirty To generate UI maybe you can evaluate MarkupTemplateEngine ( http://groovy-lang.org/templating.html#_the_markuptemplateengine) Regards El 9 feb. 2018 17:06, "David Ekholm" <email@example.com> escribió: Who can I contact?

Even if this is possible via the javax.script API, chances are that a user wishes to ad-hoc add another import, but as they are forgotten between script invocations, it makes it hard to use Groovy to interactively create, say a Swing or JavaFX UI one line at a time. With BeanShell, the user can add the needed imports, execute that "script" and then continue to refer to the imported classes in the following script invocations. Making Groovy remember imports would make it behave in as nice fashion as the new JShell tool in Java 9. JShell unfortunately cannot run embedded via the javax.script API :-( Regards /David On 8 Feb 2018, at 21:34, email@example.com wrote: You can add all the imports you want to your compiler configuration and they will be consistently available for all scripts. *From:* David Ekholm [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com <firstname.lastname@example.com>] *Sent:* Thursday, February 08, 2018 2:12 PM *To:* firstname.lastname@example.com *Subject:* Remembering imports between script invocations We're considering supporting Groovy as an additional scripting language to our web gallery software jAlbum (http://jalbum.net <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__jalbum.net&d=DwMFAg&c=4ZIZThykDLcoWk-GVjSLmy8-1Cr1I4FWIvbLFebwKgY&r=tPJuIuL_GkTEazjQW7vvl7mNWVGXn3yJD5LGBHYYHww&m=39n_uU4e7-n_s_WwrNC_8tQYLfhWKgmT_dDWwJw8ctA&s=jGwsu2zf5Pm3kG3GKLFFxalyi30aoXq_-izsMrEy_iQ&e=>), but one aspect bugs me: It doesn't seem like import statements are remembered between script invocations. This makes it far harder to use Groovy to prototype UIs within jAlbum's scripting console than for instance BeanShell (using the javax.script API). We currently support the slow BeanShell scripting language and JavaScript. BeanShell behaves well in this regard, remembering earlier imported packages between script invocations. Can this be added to Groovy or is there some API flag we can set? Regards /David, jAlbum founder and client lead developer.

Whitelist IP addresses based on SSH origin
Here is how you create a list of IP addresses, to be used with NGINX, based on successful ssh connections.
$ cat /usr/bin/auth-list.sh
# Make sure that we don't add it more than once.
if ! grep -q $PAM_RHOST $WHITELIST; then
echo allow $PAM_RHOST\; >> $WHITELIST
$ cat /etc/pam.d/sshd
session optional pam_exec.so seteuid /usr/bin/auth-list.sh
Login via ssh and it will add your external IP address to the list.
$ cat /etc/nginx/conf/whitelist.conf
allow 184.108.40.206;
allow 18.104.22.168;
Reload NGINX for it to take affect.
