Louisiana Department of Education Employee Policies
Special School District (SSD) Effective Date: 8/12/2013
Pre-Employment Requirements/Conditions for Hire
As both a school district and a state agency, SSD must conduct specific pre-employment reviews and also require employees to agree to certain conditions of state employment before applicants are eligible to be employed.
Unless specified, these following conditions will apply to applicants to whom a conditional offer of employment has been made.
Any questions about these matters should be addressed to the school's Human Resources Office, for applicants to LSDVI or LSEC, and to the Department of Education's Human Resources Office, for applicants to SSP.
Disclosure of Sexual Misconduct
Prior to being hired, the applicant must sign a statement that requests and authorizes the release and disclosure of information by the applicant's current or previous employer, if such employer is a city, parish, or other local public school board, relative to all instances of sexual misconduct with students,as defined by the Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE), committed by the applicant, if any. The statement shall also request the current or previous employing School Board make available, within twenty (20) business days of receipt of the request, copies of all documents as contained in the applicant's personnel file maintained by such employer relative to instances of sexual misconduct, if any. The request for information shall include a copy of the required statement signed by the applicant.
The applicant may be employed on a conditional basis pending review of any information obtained pursuant to this request. However, in accordance with statutory provisions, any applicant who does not sign the statement as required by law may not be hired.
Any information obtained as a result of the statement and request outlined above shall be used onlyfor the purpose of evaluating an applicant's qualifications for employment in the position for which he/she has applied.
Criminal Background Check
An applicant may not be employed unless the applicant has provided authorization for the disclosure of any information regarding criminal activities, including arrests for, convictions of, or having pled nolo contendre to any criminal offense. After a conditional offer of employment has been made, the Human Resources Office will advise the applicant on how to submit fingerprints for processing and will provide the necessary authorization form.
State law prohibits schools from hiring applicants with convictions, or nolo pleas, for certain criminal offenses, particularly offenses against children or involving violence. For all other information contained in the criminal background check, we will consider the nature of the offense, the length of time since the offense occurred, and any other information the applicant chooses to bring to our attention.
After being hired, an employee shall report the to the SSD Superintendent if the employee is convicted of, or pleads guilty or nolo contendre to, any of the crimes listed in La. R.S. 15:587.1, within forty-eight hours.
Other Background/Reference Checks
In addition to the specific required background checks, SSD will conduct employment background checks to determine an applicant's suitability for employment with SSD.
Pre-Employment Drug Testing
In accordance with state statute and executive order, all applicants, except those transferring from another executive branch agency without a lapse in service, must submit to, and pass, a drug test, before they may be hired. An applicant with a positive drug test will be eliminated from consideration for employment.
All information, interviews, reports, statements, memoranda, or test results received through the drug testing program are confidential communications and may not be used or received in evidence, obtained in discovery, or disclosed in any public or private proceedings, except in an administrative or disciplinary proceeding or hearing, or civil litigation where drug use by the tested individual is relevant.
Further details about the drug testing program are available in the Alcohol and Drug Free Workplace Policy, which is available from the Human Resources Office upon request.
Legal Authority to Work
SSD participates in the e-verify system. Each applicant must submit documentation required by the e-verify system so that SSD can verify the employee's legal authority to work.
Each new employee must submit a valid social security card so that SSD can properly pay applicable taxes.
Selective Service
SSD will verify that male applicants who are required to enroll in Selective Service have done so. Male applicants who are 18-25 may be required to provide their Selective Service Registration Card. Veterans may submit discharge papers or discharge certificate, in lieu of the Selective Service Registration Card.
State Retirement and the Social Security Windfall Provision
Most employees, with exceptions for students, and some previously retired employees and part-time employees, will be members of the Louisiana State Employees Retirement System (LASERS) or Teachers Retirement System (TRSL). New employees should be aware that, upon retirement, future Social Security benefits, if applicable, may be reduced in accordance with the Social Security protection Act of 2004, Public Law 108-203, Section 419c.
Mandatory Direct Deposit and Recoupment of Overpayments
State employees are required to be paid through direct deposit. Limited exceptions are available for applicants who cannot open a deposit account. Exceptions may only be approved by the Office of State Uniform Payroll (OSUP). An applicant needing an exception to this requirement should make a request to the Human Resources Office. The employee must be named on the direct deposit account. Exceptions may be made to deposit into accounts of a dependent of the employee, or into a parent/guardian's account if the employee is a dependent of the parent/guardian.
State employees must also agree to have overpayments recouped in future pay periods, in accordance with the agency policy on recoupment of overpayments. A final employment offer may not be made until the applicant has submitted a signed statement acknowledging understanding of the agency recoupment policy and that, if overpaid, the overpayment may be recouped in a future pay period after notification in accordance with the policy, which is available from the Human Resources Office.

It's Time for Healthcare Marketing to Like Social Media
The interaction between consumers and healthcare organizations has drastically changed due to social media and those healthcare organizations wanting to expand their roles with consumers need to realize the business value of this form of engagement.
"I feel like the healthcare industry is finally getting it. My hospital has a Facebook page where they post lifestyle advice, the drug company shares newly released treatment studies through its Twitter account, and my insurer even has these interactive games that help manage my diet and exercise. Best of all, I've joined a few patient communities where I share how I'm doing on certain treatments and see how I compare to others." – Anonymous consumer quote from Health Research Institute's "Social Media Likes Healthcare" report
In this survey of 1,060 U.S. adults, more than 70 percent of consumer survey respondents said they would appreciate receiving assistance from healthcare providers via social media with referrals and appointment scheduling, while 69 percent would value offers to save money and receive support post-discharge.
"If you want to connect with people and be part of their community, you need to go where the community is." – Ed Bennett, University of Maryland Medical Center
The report also reveals that one-third of healthcare consumers are using online platforms to:
- Base their decisions on where they will go for medical care
- Access health-related consumer reviews (of treatments or physicians)
- Find information on conditions and treatments
- Share their opinions about physicians
And this trend is growing. Currently, more than 1,200 hospitals in the U.S. participate in social media.
As healthcare shifts from volume to a value-based system, it's becoming increasingly important for your healthcare organization to take a more active role in managing people's health by incorporating social media into your business strategy. HRI recommends embracing social media as a mindset, as opposed to just another communication channel. Also, it's important to follow these best practices:
- Take a disciplined approach to planning
- Focus on trust and transparency in your goals, not just ROI
- Commit to being accessible and relevant to your audiences
As you adapt your internal operations, consider revamping your processes so that you can be relevant at the time of need. You may also want to create a hub for social media that can coordinate IT, legal, customer service, clinical, and other functions. HIPAA compliancy is of utmost importance, so you'll want to follow the guidelines established by the Federation of State Medical Boards: Model Policy Guidelines for the Appropriate Use of Social Media and Social Networking in Medical Practice.
Lastly, analyze the data so you're not just talking and listening. Valuable insights can be gleaned from social data that can be transformed into actions.
For a great best practices resource in social media, be sure to check out Mayo Clinic's Social Media Health Network.

The coalition fighting ISIS has killed more than 6,000 fighters including half of the top command of the terror group, U.S. diplomatic officials said Thursday.
The number of fighters killed has not been publicly discussed before but was disclosed by the U.S. ambassador to Iraq who told Al Arabiya television earlier in the day that an estimated 6,000 fighters have been killed, saying it was having an "devastating" impact on ISIS.
The estimate calculated by U.S. Central Command finds more than 6,000 ISIS fighters have been killed in Iraq and Syria by coalition airstrikes, according to a U.S. military official. CENTCOM has kept a running estimate of fighters killed, but has not made it public.
U.S. intelligence estimates that ISIS has a total force of somewhere between 9,000 to 18,000 fighters. However, it is also believed the group can draw on thousands of other fighters whose loyalty shifts and could muster a force upwards of 31,000 total.
Until now, the Pentagon has stayed away discussing the matter, other than to estimate that thousands of fighters may have been killed. Speaking to reporters Thursday, Rear Admiral John Kirby was adamant that the US is not keeping a "body count," and said it would be wrong to state that there is such a count.

Luminox Sports Watches
Luminox watches, founded in 1989, are high-performance sports watches with extraordinary cutting-edge luminescent readability. These superior watches have risen to a major prominence in the world of watchmaking. The name is derived from the Latin word "lumi" for light and the word "nox" for night. They use the 'Always Visible' technology (referred to as Luminox Light Technology or LLT) that utilizes boro-silicate chambers containing Tritium, which always glows but becomes even more apparent as the light quality diminishes.
That unique watch makes it an ideal timepiece for night missions and search and rescues of the US Navy SEALs, the US Air Force, the US Coast Guard, the New York City Police Department, Special Military Forces Israel, the Singapore Air Force, Lockheed Martin, and many other law enforcement groups and Emergency Medical Services throughout the world as well as Olympic and other athletes attempting to beat their own best time. By 2008, Luminox had expanded to more than 50 countries and had become a trusted global brand.
Luminox watches are tough and dependable for high-intensity activities and are designed to last for as many as 25 years while also being attractive and desirable. Their four different categories are those for Air, Land, Sea, and Space. Popular models include the Sentry, the Navy SEAL, the EVO, the Atacama, and the Sea Turtle. Additionally, the Deep Dive Automatic Series is essential gear for serious divers and professionals and complies with the extremely high strict standards of ISO 6425 for diving watches. Also, all Luminox Watches continue to fulfill the regulations of the new Swiss-Made law that went into effect in January of 2017.

The previous essay of mine published on AHT was titled "Government without Taxes or Debt." That happy result would follow from a restructuring of the monetary system that would allow government to be funded without either of those devices. In this essay I want to explain how that restructuring of the monetary system would allow us to eliminate (involuntary) unemployment and poverty from society.
"Involuntary" means no one would be required to work. No public money whatsoever would be available for anyone of working age who would simply choose to be unemployed, and panhandling would presumably be even less profitable than it is at present, but people could be free to make that choice.
Also, one could work but be poor. One example of that would be the proverbial 'starving artist' who works at producing art of some kind but depends on that art for an income that is (so far) meager.
Such eccentric choices aside, eliminating involuntary unemployment and poverty would not cost anyone anything and would be accomplished without having to redistribute anything. For that matter, the total wage bill for employers would actually be reduced.
The other thing I want to emphasize at the start is that there is nothing hidden in this proposal. In these cynical times people have been well trained to look past what is being presented for the hidden agenda or the hidden cost. I can say flat-out that here is no hidden cost in this proposal. The closest this proposal comes to a "hidden agenda" is that it would make the economy more just.
I arrived at this idea for restructuring the monetary system by asking myself how we could have a really just economy. Ultimately, of course, that involves the entire issue of justice, but it occurred to me that most people seem to agree that political democracy is a just process. [I eventually wrestled to the ground the whole subject of justice, which consumed a couple of decades of my life and then some.]
So I asked myself whether the ethical structure of political democracy as we know it could possibly be used as a template to make the economy more just. This proposal followed from my affirmative answer to that question. [I ask those who are made nervous by the idea of applying democracy to the economy to think of the greater liberty that the outcomes that this system promises (no unemployment, poverty, taxes, or public debt) would provide.]
How is this monetary system related to political democracy? The "allotted income" (see below) is a 'democratically distributed' income: like political rights, it is cost-free, meaning it can be available for an unlimited number of people, and just as no one is required to exercise one's political rights in a democracy, no one is required to accept the allotted income.
While this system could be adopted by any nation (or regional grouping of nations) regardless of its present monetary system, I will use the country of which I am a citizen, the U.S., as my example. Since we are talking about a restructuring of the monetary system, it will be necessary to begin by describing, in the broadest, simplest terms, the system as it exists.
[To be sure, our current monetary system is a complex thing which has a tremendously complex relationship with the rest of the economy. There are many aspects and issues related to it that I have addressed in other places that are not discussed here.]
Our monetary system is dominated by the Federal Reserve System (commonly called 'the Fed'), established by an Act of Congress in 1913. The Fed has three major functions: (1) to act as the banks' bank; (2) to be a lender of last resort for the federal government; and (3) to use monetary policy to achieve 'minimal unemployment' (however that might be defined) consistent with 'acceptable inflation' (whatever that might be).
With this proposed restructuring of the monetary system the Fed would still exist. Of those three functions, however, the only one it would still have would be the first of them, to act as the banks' bank.
As for the other two functions of the Fed currently, debt would not be used to fund government at any level (see my other essay) and there would be no such thing as managing the economy. It would be completely self-regulating. The means would not even exist to engage in monetary policy (or fiscal policy, for that matter).
The key to this restructuring of the monetary system would be the creation of a new monetary agency. It would be separate from and independent of both government and the banking system.
The new monetary agency would have two functions: (1) provide the supply of money for the economy and (2) fund government. The latter was, one more time, the subject of my previous essay.
The aforementioned allotted income would supply money for the economy. That income would be paid to people in one of three categories. Any number of people might be in any of them.
Two of those categories are straightforward enough: retirees and adults too incapacitated to perform any job. Since those are functions presently performed in the U.S. by the Social Security Administration, it would no longer be needed. So the problem of funding it would disappear. (Actually, it could be extracted from government and become the new monetary agency.)
I should note here that everyone receiving the allotted income would get the same amount of money. As one's retirement income, the amount of it would not depend on how much one had worked or how much money one had made, etc. Everyone who had reached the age of retirement would get the same check each month—which would be the same one everyone else being paid the allotted income would get. [There would be two exceptions to that condition, but both would be temporary: for one, people currently eligible for more than that amount of money from Social Security would be paid that larger amount by the monetary agency; the other will be related below.]
On that subject, the amount of the allotted income would be based on the current median income. In the U.S., for an individual that is now about $28,000/yr. I would say that the allotted income should be $600/wk.—$15/hr.—which would be $31,200/yr. (with no taxes at all).
The other category of people who would be paid the allotted income is the key to ending unemployment. Here things get a bit more complicated—and more revolutionary.
The allotted income would become the minimum wage/income. Anyone who had a job that was being paid a wage or salary equal to the allotted income (as the minimum income) or less would instead be paid the allotted income. Everyone else with a job would continue to be paid by one's employer, as at present.
People with jobs that were changed to being paid the allotted income would be paid by the monetary agency, not their employers. Employers would use benefits to compete for employees who were being paid the allotted income.
Given the current minimum wage, even for positions that currently receive no benefits, for full-time employees employers would have $290/wk. available for benefits to offer without an increase in cost. That is an impossible amount of money to live on, but a generous amount to have available for benefits.
In order to avoid losing the value of our money to inflation, in its role as the minimum wage we would have to make the allotted income initially the same as the current minimum wage and gradually increase it. That would allow for supply to adjust to the greater demand that more people with more money would create. (This system would also have other built-in safeguards against inflation.)
[Retirees and adults too incapacitated to work could be paid the full amount of the allotted income right away. Again, everyone being paid the allotted income would eventually be receiving the exact same amount of money.]
As the minimum wage increased the number of positions in the economy that were paid the allotted income would increase. At any time any employer could seek to make any position a minimum-wage position. To encourage people to take or stay in a position that would be paid a lower income employers could use benefits to 'sweeten the deal'.
Obviously, as the minimum wage increased that would mean that employers would be able to offer increasingly attractive packages of benefits while still saving money. Current or potential employees would always have the option to negotiate further or refuse altogether the deal that was being offered, to which the employer would of course be free to respond based on its assessment of the situation. The point is that competition in an open market would determine what an employee's benefits would be.
In macroeconomic terms, the most important point is that the cost of employees to most employers would be reduced. The more of an employer's workforce that is currently paid less than amount that allotted income would be, the more the employer would save. Retail stores, large and small, and fast-food outlets are large sources of employment that are in that category.
Still, the system as it has been described to this point would not absolutely, positively eliminate unemployment. There would still be a cost to employers associated with employing people. As long as that is the case, there is a chance for some people who want to work to be unable to get a job.
Positively eliminating unemployment in a market-based economy requires the possibility of employment at zero cost to an employer. That would be possible with this proposed monetary system. It could be accomplished by having government be an employer of last resort.
I would think that should be local government. Anyone who was unable to find a job in the local economy could be hired to do something—perhaps picking up trash along the sides of roadways—while being paid the minimum wage. That would cost the community nothing.
To keep the cost of such employment at zero, it would not include any benefits. That would also provide an incentive for people employed in such work (if more was needed) to continue to look for a job that did pay benefits of some kind.
One of the brutal realities of life as we have known it is that unemployed people have formed a ready reserve of labor on which employers could draw. This system of total employment would keep that reserve in place, but people without a job that included benefits would at least have a decent income while in that position.
So, this monetary proposal provides a way to absolutely, positively eliminate (involuntary) unemployment. At the same time, once the minimum wage/salary had reached its maximum everyone who was being paid the allotted income would be receiving $15/hr., $600/wk., for full-time work, with almost all of the employed among them also receiving benefits (and no taxes of any kind).
That income would be available to an absolutely unlimited number of people. So we would also eliminate (involuntary) poverty along with involuntary unemployment—at no cost to anyone and without having to redistribute anything.
It is important that those outcomes do not depend on people acting any particular way. It doesn't matter if people are altruistic or not. It doesn't matter if people are generous or greedy. It doesn't matter if people are rational or not. Those outcomes are not dependent on any policies of government or any other entity. Rather, those outcomes are built into a new and different way of structuring the monetary system.
The total of the allotted income would be the supply of money for the economy. The money needed for that income would be created as needed. Unlike the current system, there would always be a limit on the amount of money that could be created. The size of the supply of money would always be the number of people being paid the allotted income multiplied by the amount of it.
This way of supplying money for the economy would create a regular stream of money flowing into the economy. If money were not somehow absorbed from the economy that would eventually create infinite inflation. To prevent inflation money would have to be returned to the monetary agency, so this proposed system does have a mechanism for returning money to the monetary agency.
For present purposes there are two things to note about the process of returning money to the monetary agency. One is that both individuals and businesses would be able to retain a percentage of their annual incomes/profits. The other is that no money would be collected from any individual or business before it could be used for consumption or investment.
There is obviously much more involved in this proposal than has been presented here. Before it could be implemented there are details that would have to be negotiated (though all it would take in the end would be an Act of Congress). Given all that this proposal promises, however, hardly any amount of required effort could be deemed to be too much.

Goodyear – Bayern Munich partnership
Client Challenge
As a premium player within the tyre sector Goodyear are forever looking at new ways to develop their brand and challenge their sectors way of thinking.
We were tasked to answer the following challenges. How can Goodyear stand out from their competitors and display their premium brand values within a sector that lacks differentiation? Particularly within an established European market where numerous of their competitors already invest across a multitude of passion points and partnerships.
Our Approach:
Working closely with the central Goodyear client team and our MediaCom Goodyear account team a European partnership strategy was created. The strategy identified the role partnerships can play for Goodyear and articulated a clear plan on how to develop engaging content for their consumers, whilst aligning themselves with a property that will support their premium positioning.
Football was identified as the platform and FC Bayern Munich were our recommended club critiqued across a number of clear metrics which included; club status, reach across critical markets, opportunity to leverage, access, use of product and overall value for money. Our Connected SponsorshipTM evaluation tools were utilised to attribute an accurate value against each of the partnership rights and our access to consumer and market insight meant we were confident with our strategic assessments.
Client results:
Drawing on our experience in football and contracting rights we were able to secure our client Goodyear a significant return on investment and a set of rights tailored to their needs.
A multi-‐year deal was identified, created and executed which ensured additional assets and access were incorporated into the Goodyear deal.

DC Comics posted a cool Q&A with the guys who make all those cool DC collectables you have. Some cool up an coming changes include more articulations.
The New Arkham City figures have new articulations, is it going to be a new standard?
We haven't settled on a new standard yet, but you will be seeing some new articulation on certain figures going forward. The Batman in our upcoming Arkham City line will feature greater articulation, and you can look for more examples near the end of 2013.
Could unreleased figures (JL Heroes & Foes, DCU Online) be web-store exclusives?
Web-store exclusives are a great idea. We are constantly evaluating our product line-up. With last year's launch of DC COMICS – THE NEW 52 we made several decisions regarding which lines will move forward or not, mostly to make room for all of the exciting things we had planned for this year and 2013. The result of those tough decisions is that we are not moving forward with JL Heroes & Foes or DCU Online.
Why not broaden the "themes" of each wave? "DC Dark," "Earth 2," etc…?
While the main DC Comics action figure waves have been focused on Jim Lee's Justice League style, a broader offering will be seen in 2013 and 2014.

As you approach the mountain on Hwy 706, the first opportunity to photograph Mt. Rainier is just past the Nisqually entrance at the Kautz Creek Rest Stop (N 46° 44′ 12.00″, W 121° 49′ 45.90″; 2,588 ft).
- Continuing up the road toward Paradise, stop at the Longmire Inn, the Nisqually River Bridge Parking Area (N 46° 46′ 57.4″, W 121° 45′ 51.3″; 3,877 ft), the Ricksecker viewpoint (turn off the main road at N 46° 46′ 17.50″, W 121° 46′ 43.00″; 3,998 ft) and at the several pullouts along the road (two such pullouts are at N 46° 46′ 39.50″, W 121° 45′ 41.50″; 4466 ft and N 46° 47′ 0.80″, W 121° 44′ 59.60″; 5,137 ft).
- Once arriving at Paradise (N 46° 47′ 8.70″, W 121° 44′ 8.90″; 5,400 ft), the mountain will be in your camera viewfinder wherever you look.
On the White Pass Scenic Byway, the best view of Mt. Rainier is at the Goat Rocks Viewpoint on the west side of White Pass (N 46° 37′ 54.00″, W 121° 26′ 51.60″).
At Chinook Pass, the most frequently photographed area is Tipsoo Lake at the pass summit. Several angles of the mountain are captured on a variety of short walks and hikes. Sunrise is another often photographed area especially in the early morning. A brisk walk on the slopes at Crystal Mountain or a gondola ride will provide the premier view of Mt. Rainier from Crystal Mountain. The road from Enumclaw to Sunrise offers two excellent viewpoints of Mt. Rainier, one within the park and the other a short distance from the White River entrance.

A dose of Tylenol OR ibuprofen may be given for teething discomfort. Bear in mind that teething does NOT cause fever > 100, ear infections, moderate-to-severe diarrhea, or moderate-to-severe nasal congestion or runny nose. If any of these things are present, there is probably something besides teething going on.

NAEMT names Ill. Sen. Dick Durbin EMS Legislator of the Year
The National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians honored Sen. Dick Durbin for his legislative work on behalf of rural EMS providers
By EMS1 Staff
CLINTON, Miss. — The National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians selected Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., as the 2019 NAEMT EMS Legislator of the Year for his work benefitting the first responder community.
In a press release, NAEMT highlighted Durbin's legislative work on behalf of EMS providers, including the Supporting and Improving Rural EMS Needs (SIREN) Act, which created a grant program to support recruitment, retention, education and equipment needs of EMS agencies in rural areas. The SIREN Act was signed into law as part of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018.
"I'm honored to accept this award, but the real award goes to all of our first responder in Illinois and across the country who get up every day ready to protect the communities they bravely serve," said Durbin, who was presented with the award April 10 during EMS On The Hill Day. "As with passage last year of the SIREN Act, I will always look for ways to make sure our rural health leaders have the tools and resources they need to tackle the challenges their jobs throw at them. Thank you to NAEMT for your advocacy partnership and recognition."
Matt Zavadsky, president of NAEMT, said the award was hard earned.
"Passage of the SIREN Act into law was made possible by consistent collaboration among EMS leaders and focused meetings with members of Congress," he said in the release. "It is an EMS victory due to the efforts of many and the tremendous leadership of Sen. Durbin and his congressional colleagues for which we are very grateful. He is a true champion of rural EMS practitioners across the country and in his home district of Illinois."
Proud to have passed my SIREN Act into law as part of last year's Farm Bill. It will provide new funding to rural fire & EMS agencies for hiring, training & equipment. Thank you to the IL reps from @NAEMT for meeting with me & honoring me with their Legislator of the Year award. pic.twitter.com/51d0ngzc3d— Senator Dick Durbin (@SenatorDurbin) April 11, 2019

There's more bad news for Ivanka Trump, with The Washington Post publishing a lengthy article detailing the business practices of her fashion line.
The article highlights that Ivanka's business flies in the face of President Trump's 'America First' agenda, with her company outsourcing jobs and relying "exclusively on foreign factories in countries such as Bangladesh, Indonesia and China, where low-wage laborers have limited ability to advocate for themselves".
The piece also argues that Ivanka is "not in line" with the rest of the fashion industry, which in recent years had made efforts to protect workers abroad by hiring independent auditor to monitor conditions and providing consumers with details about the overseas factories where their products are made. The Washington Post says that Ivanka's has a more "hands-off approach", declining to share their code of conduct in relation to issue such as child labor, and relying on its suppliers to abide by it, without checks.
It follows revelations earlier this year that female workers in Chinese factories used by Ivanka's company werewere paid as little as a dollar an hour, and given as few as two days off a month. Workers also reported experiencing physical abuse.

Need to tuck your television or computer into a nook so that you have more floor space in a bedroom? This simple closet conversion is inexpensive, functional, and just plain cute. Often the things tucked away in spare room closets can be discarded or stored elsewhere. That extra closet is wasted space.
Measure the shelves or desk you want to use in the space to make sure it will fit without sticking out past the interior closet wall. This conversion looks best if the furniture in the closet fits properly. The shelves in the photo were created by cutting down an old shelving unit. The two doors beneath the television are a pre-existing VCR cabinet slid onto the shelves. Painting the whole unit solid white to match the trim of the closet makes it look custom built to fit the space. Electronics wires can be hidden behind the unit and fed through a hole cut in the shelf, behind the television.
In the photographed entertainment area, lace sheers were hung on a shower curtain rod and pulled back with tiebacks. To conceal the area, use drapes, bamboo shades, or tab curtains and pull them closed.
This project works for not only entertainment centers, but also for bookshelves, computer desks, or a child's dress up area.
Bed for Small Bedroom
Old dresser drawers under the bed make great storage, you can even put casters on the bottom if you like.
By imaqt1962
Storing items under your bed doesn't require those expensive boxes for storage. Use the large garbage bags, use your vacuum cleaner to suck out the air. Works like a charm for Christmas decorations, and purses, winter clothes or whatever you like.

I am 15 and am a freshman. I am a straight A student, a cheerleader, a runner, a softball player and I love technology. I cannot seem to keep my room clean, neat, cute, organized and smelling nice! I need help! I have white walls and painting is not possible right now, but definitely in the future. My theme is purple but I have a lot of different colors too.
I have a twin bed, with some space underneath. I have a huge built-in bookshelf, a night stand, a vanity with a mirror, a long dresser with a mirror, a tall dresser, and a closet with a sliding door.
! I have a lot of books, a lot of clothes, and a lot of shoes. I need a homework space, a beauty space, and a space for a lot of trinkets. I already went through everything and got rid of a lot of stuff! Help me please. :)
By Ali from AR
A good way to get yourself organized is:
Before you start you will need 3 boxes or bags and a bunch of no-slip hangers (they have to all match! You can find it in the Discount store or Dollar stores) A couple of small bins (you can also find this at the Dollar store)
1) Take everything you own and throw it on the bed
2) Get three boxes or bags, 1 for garbage, 1 for donate and 1 for keep
3) Go through everything and decide which bag it goes into...the rule is if you haven't worn or used it in a year, get rid of it.
Hi and great job on your studies. I would say decorate the same ways as college students do. Frugal and smart. Since you can't paint you can add color using art or your items. You can use command hook-they don't damage the walls. You can use storage containers to store things under the bed. Get some cute containers at the dollar store or Target, Wal-mart. You want neat and organized. Group things like makeup in a container that maybe has drawers. These are inexpensive.
Use over the door shoe bags and you can even use them on the walls. Put items in the pockets. So long as its neat. everything in its place. Get some potpourri or use febreeze type air fresheners. A big part of the unfresh scent is just dust and needing to organize. Good luck and hope this helps.
I am looking for ideas, suggestions, testimonies of DIY bedroom makeover for a boy, age 12. The room is on the small size. He is sleeping on a full size futon, but that is really taking up too much room. Storage/shelves are really needed, it is a very unorganized room. I also need to make it exciting and clever. My budget is small. I won't have a problem figuring out curtains, bed covers, etc. I just need some practical ideas on how to make a small room more functional.
By Arlinn
My room is 12' by 10'. My wall does a dreadful slant, leaving me not being able to stand in more than half the room nor put furniture in.
I don't know how to move furniture or organize my clothes, store my stuffed animals other than leaving them on display, store doll stuff, or what to put in my empty drawers. I sure have plenty of stuff.
My room is also very dark. It has a window, but it's not on the side of the house with sunshine. I'm looking out on the back yard.
I think I posted this once before, but it didn't get through. Thank you for any feedback.
By Lena from Portland, ME
A lot of houses have rooms like that. The room that my sisters and I had when we were kids was like that. It had two double beds in it with headboards. One side of the bed was against the wall. The only part of the room we could stand up in was in the middle of the room that could almost be called a hallway. Between the beds there was enough room that we could have put another bed, but there wouldn't have been room to get in and out any of the beds.
There was an east facing window, and under that we had an old chest that as I got older I used it for a "hope" chest. There wasn't anything pretty about this chest. Being I was a teenager I had a small dresser, more like the old fashioned commodes, and one of my aunts gave me an old ottoman that she was going to throw away to sit on in front of the dresser. On the west end of the bedroom there was a small kind of an entry way about 3x3. My uncle built a clothes rack for me to hang my clothes on and my little sister's clothes were kept downstairs in my parents bedroom. The floor was painted wood, with no rugs.
Each of us kids had one stuffed animal and one doll. Each doll had two or three outfits. We kept our toys in a cardboard box. Nothing in the room matched, bedspreads or anything. If you have empty drawers, as you stated you are lucky, put whatever fits in them. If you need more storage you can get those plastic carts with drawers in them. They are inexpensive, but not pretty. My opinion is if a person is trying to be economical it doesn't matter.
When I was growing up, we were really hard up. Three of us shared this room and my brother had his own room. He had the slanted ceilings too. He had a double bed and a small dresser identical to the one in our bedroom. For clothes that had to be hung, somewhere along the line somebody had put some coat hooks up on one wall for hanging clothes.
Hi Lena,
Since you only have the one window, make sure you put in a blind for privacy at night & white sheers to allow all possible light in, during the day. Then, I suggest you paint the walls in a neutral pale tan color, it will make the room look larger. The ceiling & trim should be white. You can utilize the back of the door with hooks or nails for excess coats & handbags. With the slanted wall I would get storage boxes & stack them up.
You can even get New Free cardboard boxes at the post office & they can be painted on the outside same color as your walls, with regular laytex paint, then stacked to make nooks for your belongings! The would be open facing you & not from the top of the box. Add some hot glue or Elmers to keep them together & in place! There are also bed boosters that increase the height of your bed allowing more storage underneath. Good Luck! Sincerely, Missy in O HI O
I liked the suggestions about storage along the 'short side' of the room. Might even find some benches with lids at garage sales or thrift shops/second-hand shops, and paint them in the colors you want? One thing I haven't seen suggested is a mirror. It's always good to have a full-length mirror anyway. IMHO everyone should have one, based on the things I see when out in crowds! ;) You can buy those for $12 or less at a discount store like Walmart or Meijer or Menards or Lowes, or even drugstores like RiteAid etc.! That would definitely make the room brighter AND be useful! IF it looks 'lonesome' just hanging there, you could paint a border around it with whatever contrast color you're using? Ir put hooks up and down the sides and hang your jewelry on them, plus they'd be 'decoration'! Good Luck!
I would cover the intire short wall with deep book cases. You can place baskets on the shelves for storage. This would enable you to use less furnature and give you more room on the other side.
Definitely use mirrors. Places like Wal-mart or home finishing stores sell square or octagonal ones that are meant to be used under plates at tables during the holidays. Place one under your lamps and/or behind the lamps to reflect light out into the room. Since the walls are slanted, making hanging large objects hard to hang, you can have mirror cut to fit picture frames.
You can hang these in patterns to mimic windows (and reflect light). Definitely place your bed under the slope, since you lie down in it anyway, reserving the taller ceiling for things you need to do standing, like getting dressed. We have the lower slopes closed off into closets and storage. Even though they're not too tall, they are just the right height for hanging tops, jackets, pants over hangers, etc.
If you're short on money, you can enclose the areas with rods mounted to the walls and just gather fabric to cover them. It will look like the bottom of the walls are covered with shirred fabric and no one will know it's storage. The bookcases are a great idea, not to mention relatively cheap.
If you push a few them up to the wall, it will look like built-in storage, and you can place seldom used things behind them, like out-of-season clothing. Look for short dressers at garage sales. Paint them white once you get them home to place under the slopes.
The white paint will make them seem to disappear and make the room look bigger. And stick with light wall colors to make the room appear larger; gloss or semi-gloss to reflect more light.
There are some great decorating ideas here already. Mine is a little unconventional, but practical. I suggest tucking the foot of your bed under the short side of the room, with your headboard on the roomy side. This would provide as much walking space as possible. Feet don't need height when you lie in bed! Back your headboard with a bench, vanity or narrow desk to hold what would normally be on a nightstand. During the day, you could sit at this table comfortably, too!
I am looking for ideas to decorate a small master bedroom.
By heather from Fontana, CA
Well, not knowing your interests sort of hinders. Are you the romantic type, country, ultra modern? Paint is the first thing that comes to mind. Small rooms look larger with light colors. Since it's small, I'd stay away from too much fluff and puff and stick with clean lines. More info, please.
When arranging your furniture, try to angle certain pieces so everything doesn't look like it is pushed against the walls. I have my bed angled in a corner and put one of those silk trees behind it to give the room some color. Also, try finding a flat piece of wall art such as a painted canvas or a blank canvas covered in a patterned fabric (really easy and inexpensive to make!) that way you can hang it on a wall that is in the walking path of the room and you will not have to worry about walking by and knocking it off the wall.
I love the idea of hanging a fairly large rug on the wall behind or beside the bed then using the colors of that rug to decorate around. If you're traditional, chose a Persian type rug, if more modern, then choose a geometric rug.
But saying that, the most soothing colors are beige's, grays & earth tones (not orange or red!). To these, you can add a bit of turquoise or any blue (to represent water). These are the colors many spas use to relax their customers.
Saying that, another idea is to soothe ALL your senses. Meaning, have things around that do just that. For example, a fountain will make the soothing sound of water running, & fragrances (like potpourri) will excite your nose. Colored lights (like Christmas lights are also a way to have colored light) You can wrap these around your headboard or around a silk "leaf "tree". I like yellow because it looks like candle light. Of course, there's always the sound of the ocean on CD's & those fragrance plug-in's... Include tiny stones & pebbles around candles for a natural, relaxing look & feel. If you keep your room uncluttered & simple (like a spa does) then you will feel more relaxed. saying this, I would make sure you have lots of closed storage to keep your messes out of sight. (like covered shelves or cupboards)
I like the way old botanical prints look in any space. You can find framed & matted copies of these fairly cheep at discount stores like Ross. (hang 3 across horizontally or 2 up & down vertically) Keep everything in 2 or 3 colors that all match. I like to use one neutral color & one accent color. My place is decorated mostly in a soothing golden beige & since I already had a blue carpeting, I used a bit of blue & with a bit of olive green. These are the colors I look for when buying new things for my room.
And don't forget about plants. either real or fake. If you have a silk tree in the corner, it looks great to place a light at the base of it facing up. (only $10 for an "up" light at Home Depot) This way you'll get the shadow of the leaves all over the wall! Very, very cool! I found my silk tree at Value Village thrift store for only $15. It makes my front porch look wonderful sitting in a corner. Have fun!
Curtains or drapes will immediately make the room appear decorated. When I lived in a dormitory during graduate school, everyone always admired my room. The difference was that I raised the miniblinds to the top of the window and hung drapes on a traverse rod. I also put a room sized rug on the floor and hung pictures on the walls. None of these took up valuable floor space in the small room, A bedspread that coordinated with the drapes was the final touch. My dorm room was more like home than any others on the hall.
All of these ideas are great. But if you're trying to decorate a small space you will probably want the area to seem larger so it feels less claustrophobic. I hear you can do this by placing mirrors on the walls, so in addition to whatever pictures you decide to put up I would also incorporate a mirror on at least one of the walls.
I to have a small bedroom. About 12 x 12. Light colors for the walls always works great. Not white. Hang your curtains higher and wider than your windows. Make your bed your focal point of the room by using some really pretty bedding. I used double box springs to raise my bed and it added some depth to the room. Easy on the wall deco it starts to clutter up the space. Also, less furniture is better. If you have room in your closet for your chest of drawers, that gives a little more walking room. I actually eliminated our chest and found a 4 drawer storage unit that actually holds a whole lot more at Home Depot. It is in my closet. I have a ton of ideas. Feel free to ask!!
I'm 19. I have a small room with no closet. My boyfriend does stay with me, but we need more storage space. All I have is a full size bed, a night stand with 1 drawer, a tall 3 drawer dresser which has all my clothes in it, a mini fridge for drinks and snacks, and a high shelf that we keep our collectable items on. We need more clothing space for both of us and more shelving space for hygiene, jewelry, pens, notebooks, etc. Any ideas please?
I will be moving in to a home with a small master bedroom and have been trying to figure out a way to make the most of my small space. I don't remember what the measurements of the room are, but the previous owners had a queen size bed, a large dresser and a somewhat narrow armoire in the room. With these three pieces of furniture alone, the space looked extremely cluttered. The only source of natural light comes from the sliding doors that lead out to a small deck. If anyone has any ideas I'd greatly appreciate it.
By Lia from Chicago, IL
I had to move out of my apartment due to it being on the second floor. I have a knee injury so I couldn't climb those stairs anymore. My sis-in-law was so kind as to let us in her home.
One problem. The room is really small. We left most of our things in storage, but the things we do have, oh my, it is just that the room looks cluttered. I make cakes as a hobby and I also sew. So I have my craft stuff in our room. Food that doesn't go bad, like bread, cereal, etc. we keep in the room now. We use to leave it out in the kitchen, but our food would be gone before week's end and me without a job made it hard to buy food at a moments notice.
We also have a 6 drawer dresser and two ottomans, we have junk inside there as well. Our closet is a mess and one of the ottomans is blocking the other side of the closet. I tried organizing the room on my own, but it backfired. I just feel like there is more of a mess. There is no way I am able to stick nails into the walls, so we can hang stuff on the walls. We keep doors closed at all times for privacy. I am at my wits end. I don't know how else to keep this room organized and free of clutter. Help! I went from a full apt to a small tiny bedroom for two people :-(
By Nataly from Whittier, CA
I live in a room very small; any organization ideas? I don't have much clothes and not much "junk" per say. Oh and I'm fourteen so keep it limited!
Thanks for the help!

How do you build a built-in, full size bed for an adult?
By Joyce from MO
Google for directions, go to the library and see if you can find a book that tells how, or go to the diy.com site and see if they have anything.
Tim Carter might know or at least be able to tell you where to look for how to's:
How can I organize my very small bedroom in a rental when I have no closet and a limited income? I have a twin bed, chest of drawers, 2 night tables, a plastic unit w/3 drawers for my underwear, a folding table for my TV, computer (can't afford internet access), sewing machine, and a lot of craft stuff.
By Robin from Norfolk, VA
I'm 18 and my sister and I share a bedroom (still!). The problem is between the two of us we have way too much stuff to fit in a room the size of ours. Even between the two of us we can't seem to come up with a solution that's both organized and cute. The solutions I've seen are great, but there isn't enough room for bins and boxes. Any suggestions?

I have a pretty small room. The walls are bright and colorful, but I have a bed, a desk, a wide dresser, and a tall dresser. My room's so crowded so I put one of my dressers in my closet. Please help organize my room!

I have a very small bedroom, I mean 9 feet by 8 feet with a lot of stuff. There's a double bed, night table with drawer, a 3-4 foot clothes rack, TV stand with 2 shelves, and an Ikea 9 cubby organizer with a 30 gallon fish tank on top. How can I organize my room so I have a little bit more space?

Look for furniture that goes up the wall instead of out along the wall. A book case that is tall and a tall dresser, maybe even shelves you can put on the wall above the dresser would help. (03/15/2010)

Under the bed! Hooks on closet doors and on the walls. I have a couple really cute tote bags hanging on cute hooks on my bedroom wall. I has them stuffed with scarfs, wallets I don't use, but don't want to get rid of and other stuff. I have a pretty round box like you get at the craft stores and it's stuffed with a few out of season items. It's on top my bed and it looks pretty sitting out.
Check the thrift stores for book shelves. I have one I paid $10 for at Goodwill. You don't have to use it for books. Put in pretty boxes you cover yourself and stuff socks, office supplies, anything in them. It's also really easy to install another shelf in your bedroom closet. Just measure the length you need and Home Depot will cut to your size and the wood I used is cheap. Seldom used things you'd think belong in your bedroom can be stored in another part of the house.

African Law Firms & Foreign Counterparts Navigate 'Tense' Relationship
Mar. 11, 2015 (Mimesis Law) — Steve Blundell, Managing Director at Redstone Consultants, talks with Lee Pacchia about how the market for law firms' services in Africa is growing due to the maturation of economies within the continent. While the growth in African economies presents an opportunity for lawyers, Blundell notes that changing market dynamics has led to increased competition between the international and local firms and the rising perception that some of the foreign entrants don't really understand how business gets done in Africa. "There are some horrible stories from the African firms about how they are treated by global firms who put trainees on to manage the relationship," he says. He also notes that some of the international firms fail to anticipate the realities of working in Africa in a way that can tank deals.

53 | How to look good naked (from the wrists down).
Healthy, naked nails win hands down.
It's totally possible to take your nails back to basics and still look perfectly groomed. Substitute your usual high-maintenance manicure with a gentler approach, and regain your nail's natural seashell pink lustre.
Here's How...
1 Start with clean hands using a good hand soap.
2 Take it all off. Remove ALL polish with a good Acetone-free nail-polish remover.
3 In our book, all good detoxes start with a scrub. Use a gentle exfoliant to resurface rough, dry hands.
4 Clip, File, Push! Clip your longish nails to desired length, and then refine the shape with a triple-cut stainless steel nail file. Apply a few drops of cuticle remover, to soften them. Push your cuticles back, don't cut them.
5 Buff, Please! We recommend a professional grade, 4-sided buffer.
6 Wash hands again. We like to use a good nailbrush to get all the grit out from under our nails.
7 Once your hands are good and dry, ensure that you've removed all traces of soap and oils, apply a thin layer of Base Coat and allow to dry (we recommend at least 5 minutes).
8 Maintain: To keep your newly perfected polish, we highly recommend a good hand cream.
9 Cuticle Cure: Everyone's cuticles get shaggy and dry if left unchecked. Keep yours looking healthy without cutting them with a nightly application of good cuticle oil. We keep one in our nightstand and another in our bag for on the go applications.
OK, that's it! It sounds like a lot, but really, this is a lot easier than weekly trips to the salon and dealing with chipped nail polish. Eventually, your new, natural nails will look good enough to leave totally naked and you can get by with just cuticle oil, hand cream and the occasional touch up with a chamois buffer!

- 1st Avenue Northeast will be closed to through traffic from just south of the intersection of Northeast 100th Street to the area directly in front of the former Silver Platters building during these nighttime work hours.
The contractor will work to keep excessive noise to a minimum. No high impact noise activities (such as jackhammering and saw cutting) will take place at night. Access to homes, businesses, Northgate Mall and Northgate Transit Center will be maintained.

The global ocean provides continuous protection on the planet from the worst impacts of climate change. These vast waters do this by capturing 90 per cent of the excess heat generated from man-made greenhouse gas warming and over 30 per cent of the carbon dioxide released from our burning of fossil fuels. This protection doesn't come without costs. The added heat causes ocean water to expand exacerbating sea level rise. And carbon dioxide dissolved in seawater makes the ocean more acidic, detrimentally impacting the health of the ocean and the life. This ocean life is central to the livelihood of millions of people where 20 per cent of Earth's population consumes fish as their primary source of protein.
Yet even with this protection, Earth suffered from a particularly severe fever in October. The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration showed that Earth's temperature had a spiked increase in temperature compared to any other month over the past 135 years of measurements. This feverish temperature foreshadows a new record that will likely be set this year — 2015 will be the warmest year on record. As records go, this one cannot be celebrated.
So what's contributing to this spike? The ocean is finally giving back what it has been protecting us against since we started putting excess carbon dioxide into the atmosphere — and that is greenhouse gas trapped heat. We've seen this first hand here on the West Coast with the presence and persistence of the increased temperature of the Pacific Ocean surface ocean waters dubbed the "warm Blob" by scientists. The Blob formed in 2013 and grew to be more than three times the size of British Columbia with temperatures 2.5 degrees C warmer than previously observed at any time in the past. It is expected to last into the new year. And now a very strong El Niño — one that will likely rival the strongest ever —is heating the tropical Pacific where temperatures recently reached record levels. El Niño is a prolonged warming in the equatorial Pacific Ocean sea surface. This week, Ocean Networks Canada's realtime sensors detected this strong warming influence of El Niño off of Canada's West Coast.
There are clearly regional and global weather impacts of a strong El Niño, but these impacts also affect the economy. El Niño's negative economic impacts are most severe in Asia and the western Pacific region because, for example, it causes drought conditions in southeast Australia that results in a greater number and increased severity of fires. These conditions reduce grain exports that drive up global prices. Among other examples, India suffers economically because El Niño weakens monsoons and increases average temperatures that diminish agricultural yields resulting in higher food prices in the country.
Another factor is the global fisheries. This food bounty is being significantly reduced through poor fishing management practices and a wild west on the open seas that allow for a blatant exploitation of our ocean commons. The result is overfishing and continued decimation of fish stocks.
This conundrum between the ocean as a protector versus an environmental and economic foe is one of the primary reasons that, for the first time at a Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, a dedicated session on the ocean was held in Paris last week.
The Ocean and Climate Forum, on 4 December in Paris, brought together scientists, economists, civil society, decision-makers, and youth to start these important deliberations. The range of topics are as expansive as the ocean itself, but the discourse focused primarily on the role of the ocean in the climate system, ocean health and fisheries protections. The goals are to begin to define actions that countries can take to safeguard the ocean as the protector of the planet instead of a foe.
As stewards of three oceans and the longest coastline in the world, Canadians are important actors in this effort. We must step aboard this voyage to act and support the ocean as protector. Join the Ocean Day conversation #OceanforClimate.
Dr. Kate Moran is President of Ocean Networks Canada, a University of Victoria initiative.
She previously served as an Assistant Director at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy in Washington DC. www.oceannetworks.ca@Ocean_Networks
