Take a major step in your educational journey with a minor that can expand your skills and enhance your career prospects. Why minor?
A minor is a secondary area of study from your major or specific degree program. Although it is not a requirement for graduation, a minor provides a significant opportunity to "specialize" in a particular area or niche of your broader industry and gives you a way to pursue your interests in a field other than your major.
In addition, a minor shows future employers or graduate school admissions committees the diversity of your interests and skills; therefore, you might want to think about your future goals when choosing a minor. For example, if you are passionate about Art or Biology, a minor in Business or Computer Science will go a long way to increase your marketability after graduation.

As part of a recent attempt to bust a myth about what can and can't be shot out of a cannon, the "Mythbusters" team went to a local bomb disposal range to test out some theories. They were supposed to be firing their homemade cannon at tanks filled with water, but one cannonball got away, and went on an adventure the likes of which haven't been seen since that one meatball rolled off a plate of spaghetti.
The cantaloupe-sized cannonball missed the water, tore through a cinder-block wall, skipped off a hillside and flew some 700 yards east, right into the Tassajara Creek neighborhood, where children were returning home from school at 4:15 p.m., authorities said.
There, the 6-inch projectile bounced in front of a home on quiet Cassata Place, ripped through the front door, raced up the stairs and blasted through a bedroom, where a man, woman and child slept through it all – only awakening because of plaster dust.
The ball wasn't done bouncing.
It exited the house, leaving a perfectly round hole in the stucco, crossed six-lane Tassajara Road, took out several tiles from the roof of a home on Bellevue Circle and finally slammed into the Gill family's beige Toyota Sienna minivan in a driveway on Springvale Drive. [SF Gate]
Make no mistake, residents of Tassajara Creek: this was an act of aggression. The property damage alone demands retaliation. The busters of myths may try to paint this as an accident, a misfire, or an innocent mistake, but this type of unilateral show of force simply can NOT be tolerated. If you allow them to pass off this rogue cannonball tearing through your homes as mere error, where does it end? Will you wait for them to launch a frozen chicken towards your hospitals, or catapult a pumpkin through through your schools?
No. We must stand united. We must not bend or break. At dawn, we storm their mythbusting compound and we demand recompense. If recompense cannot be granted, then we demand BLOOD. Or at least that Jamie stop wearing that stupid beret. The most basic elements of our free society require it.

It takes signage, LED light box, UV printing, LED sign letter and other display product forms as the carrier, and the quality of handicrafts as the standard, so as to show the brand charm of the customer perfectly.
In the past 15 years, Haichen has adhered to regard logo display as the main industry. It constantly increases the investment of product R&D and equipment investment, constantly improves the production process and improves the management level in line with the demand of customers, so as to provide customers with high-end, perfect, safe and reliable products. Under the principle of "pursuing excellence, satisfying customer", Haichen constantly sets new records through its own efforts. As a result, it has won the favor of Huawei, DeRucci, Fuanna, LaoFengxiang and other well-known brands in various industries, which has also taken over the design, manufacture and construction of the Olympic Games, Zhuhai Airport, Shenzhen Metro, Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center, HongKong- Zhuhai-Macao Century Port, Wanda Square, etc.

What would we like to do?

It causes the chaos of the logo display industry and the malignant competition of unscrupulous merchants, as a result, the products with inferior quality and low price are full of the market. It not only damages the interests of customers, but also damages the beautiful image of the city, which is unfavorable to the development of the whole industry. Therefore, we pioneer to make the introduction of the industry standards.
To make the city become more beautiful: Through the promotion of products with high quality, it displays the beautiful brand image of the customer in the form of art, so as to add a delightful view for city streets, airports, subways and shopping malls.
To provide a stage for hard-working employees: Talent is the core competitiveness of enterprises, it will provide more development opportunities and globalization development platforms for outstanding staff through selection and training, so as to let young employees take on more important jobs, help them grow faster and realize their own value.

Dr Mike Gospodinsky discusses how "Coronavirus is Reinventing Communication Channels for Business and Education"
GREAT FALLS, MONTANA (MT), UNITED STATES, March 23, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — I understand virtual communications and believe it is a tool that we are not fully utilizing in business or education. As an entrepreneur, I have owned and managed two companies, Quality Innovations and Alpha Background Investigations, for over 20 years. My staff, customers/clients and I utilize virtual communications as often as possible and if allowed by government regulations. This has allowed my companies to increase innovation, reduce cost, and maximize efficiency. My experiences within these companies and dealings with my customers/clients has allowed me to become knowledgeable about the positive and negative aspects of virtual communications.
The recent outbreak of the Corona Virus has resulted in a drastic increase in "virtual" or "remote" communication. School classrooms, individuals asked to work from home, customer or supply chain audits or meetings, certification audits, inspection activities have been cancelled or converted to off-site activity. Apollos University educational activities are largely conducted in a distance learning environment, therefore adjustments to our normal operations have been minimal. There are many advantages and disadvantages to distance learning or virtual communication. The primary advantage is cost savings due to limited travel, as well as the ability to conduct the work during a flexible time frame, rather than a specific class time. One advantage which was not previously considered is the ability to provide social distancing to prevent the spread of disease.
As a doctoral student at Apollos, I conducted research on best practices in remote auditing of management systems. Management systems audits are used to document quality management standards. Normally, audits are conducted on-site, however there are many opportunities to save time and money by supplementing these audits remotely. The research involved surveying 138 industry professionals to determine the current usage and best practices. The usage of remote auditing techniques was low with only 5% of respondents citing often used. By contrast, when asked if respondents felt that remote audits were an effective supplement to on-site audits, 81% responded positively. The top three reasons for limited usage of remote audits were, 1) resistance to change, 2) unaware that it was an option and 3) lack of honesty, trust or integrity.
Similarly, 2017 US Department of Education data indicated that 15% of students were enrolled in programs delivered exclusively via distance learning methodology while 66% were enrolled in programs delivered only on-ground. The remaining 18% of students took a combination of on-ground and online courses. Graduate degree programs have a higher percentage of exclusively online students at 29% and 66% exclusively on-ground. The increase in online graduate degrees may be attributed to the fact that many students enrolled in graduate studies are also working full time and seek graduate degrees to advance in their field. Now, in the spring of 2020, the vast majority of graduate and undergraduate courses will be conducted through some type of distance learning. Two potentially positive outcomes from this new reality include reduced costs of education and increased understanding of the value of distance learning methodology. We can hope that institutions realizing reductions in costs created by serving students online will follow the Apollos model and pass these savings on to students rather than following the now common practice of charging online students additional fees per each online course. Likewise, the increasingly shared experience of online education may increase awareness of the value of online education. While on-ground schools transitioning to proven distance education methodology may experience some hiccups in education delivery, hopefully, with the help of schools such as Apollos that have already successfully developed distance programs, most students suddenly introduced to online learning due to the Corona virus will have a positive experience. If this so called new normal holds, it will become more common to obtain post-secondary degrees through distance or online learning, making higher education more accessible.
In the past, detractors of distance education have fallen back on concerns about tradition and integrity similar to those who are reluctant to adopt remote auditing. However, with advances in technology, traditions can be updated and integrity maintained and verified. Apollos University strives to deliver on the promise of distance education: to offer students high quality learning opportunities, low costs, and increased convenience. As a former student, I feel that my education at Apollos was exceptional. I hope that other students who would benefit from distance education will enjoy similar opportunities

Lookout, a mobile security startup based in San Francisco, has identified a new type of bitcoin mining malware that targets mobile devices. Dubbed 'BadLepricon', the malware represents a more sophisticated type of mining malware attack than previously seen.
The malware was designed to be delivered via a wallpaper app. Lookout identified five separate apps that contained BadLepricon, and Google removed the apps soon after being contacted by the mobile security firm.
The company announced the discovery in a 24th April blog post, citing the specifics of the malware.
CoinDesk spoke with Michael Bentley, head of Lookout's research and response team, who said that the malware presents a new level of sophistication not normally seen in this type of cyberattack, adding that the malware writer knew what he or she was doing.
Said Bentley:
"When [malware authors] are looking into protecting the phone, making sure certain conditions exist, and making sure you're participating in a pool, it tells us that they are a more experienced developer."
Botnet development
The writer of BadLepricon used a stratum mining proxy that lets the botnet operator control where bitcoins are being sent and which nodes are being mined.
Additionally, BadLepricon is designed to maximize mining output from a single device. The mining program only runs when the display is off and when the battery life is greater than 50%. This also acts to protect the phone from heat damage, which masks one of the major symptoms of a mobile-based mining malware attack. It appears that some users may have been affected.
According to Lookout, the apps had an average of 100-500 downloads before the malware was discovered.
Bentley remarked that, ultimately, these types of attacks don't produce enough hashing power to actually solve a block or produce bitcoins. However, he expects program authors to develop more botnet-style mining malware in the future.
He said:
"As cellphone power increases, and as devices are [more] available, it's a logical next step."
Recent attacks
While the majority of bitcoin malware programs are focused on hacking wallets, mining malware attacks do present a threat to computer systems that can be exploited for hashing power. This was shown in a recent study published by Kapersky Labs.
Iowa State University announced this week that it had discovered a server breach that compromised student data. The school stated that the malware was designed to mine bitcoins, although it is unclear if the effort was successful.
BadLepricon is also not the first type of malware to disguise itself on the Google Play store. Earlier this year, two malicious apps were discovered that turned affected mobile devices into dogecoin and litecoin miners.

Business is always entailed with risks. These customers can apply their very own queries on the data, and create studies primarily based on these queries. People who find themselves in the forecasting department know what number of clients will calls (not exactly, however very close to it) based on historic knowledge.

Is Heijmans going digital?
"Oh, we have been digital for a while now. After all, everything is becoming more digital. Objects talk with each other, via their connection to the Internet. We are heading for an Internet of Things in which things communicate with us, get a heartbeat, let us know how they are doing. The same goes for asphalt, locks and bridges!
As a result, our infrastructure and cities are becoming smarter. Thanks to data you know exactly where you can find a parking spot. No more driving around in circles!"
René ValkenburgCombining data to create reliable information
What has led to this development?
"Our infrastructure sets and keeps our country in motion. People, things, materials and information are constantly on the move in our 24-hour economy. This is only possible if our connections are in tip-top shape, work closely together and become smarter.
The coming years, we will be improving and replacing a great part of our infrastructure, as many works are nearing the end of their life expectancy. Digital technology allows us to do that in a better, smarter and more sustainable way than before. This way we are able to apply a more circular approach, carry out maintenance work more efficiently and generate sustainable energy. Think along the lines of platforms to exchange materials, noise barriers with integrated solar panels and ways to warn and re-direct road users in case of heavy traffic.

The Lord knows all of our days; our days of joy and happiness are known to Him just as are the days of mourning, of suffering, of temptation and of sorrow. Whatever we have to go through, the Lord knows precisely what is ahead of us. And we thankfully accept each day he gives, and each day we place anew our joys and our sorrows into His care. What ever may happen to us, be it joy or suffering, need or sorrow, trial or temptation - we want the Lord to know everything. And if we should do something wrong, we do not want to hide, but come to Him and repent, asking for forgiveness. "The Lord knoweth the days of the upright and their inheritance shall be for ever." (Psalm 37:18)
What does it really mean to be upright? To be honest and devoted to God, to trust in Him and to love Him, that's what it means to be upright. But this is only possible for those that have godfearing hearts and a living faith.
What are these eternal treasures that form our inheritance? In the first place the Word of God; it remains for ever. "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away", says the Son of God (Matth. 24:35). The Word of God should be and should remain the central point of our lives, and then we possess a treasure that has eternal value.
Grace, too, is a treasure that has consequences for all eternity. What would we be without grace? No one would be able to reach that eternal goal, no one could become worthy for eternal fellowship with God and His Son. Burdened with guilt we would face final judgement. Let us accept the Grace of God that is offered to us repeatedly by those Jesus sends.
Love is also a treasure that remains for ever. Let us preserve this treasure that has been poured out into our heart through the Holy Spirit; let us give this love enough room in our hearts so that it may unfold, expand and develop. And the Peace of God, that surrounds the throne of the Highest as the light, also reigns eternal, as do the Truth, into which the Holy Spirit is guiding us, the blessings, that accompany us in all eternity, and the faithfulness granted us by our Heavenly Father.
What eternal treasures await those who lead their lives without fear that the Lord may know all their days!
Most sincerely,<br/>
Richard Fehr

There is an amusing irony in the building of what appears to be a pretty strong consensus behind infrastructure repair as an economic recovery strategy. Back in the ancient history of the Clinton Administration, the Reverend Nicholas Negroponte would preach the ascent of bits over atoms to his flock of Wired subscribers (later rebottling his Kool-Aid in a book). As the bits rose with the inflation of the dot-com bubble, few paid attention to the deterioration of infrastructure atoms. It is nice to see the recovery of a sense of reality where the value of bits can only be assessed in terms of their service to the atoms!

Supreme Court to Decide Tribal Fishing Rights Case
In the mid-1800s Indian tribes in the Pacific Northwest entered into treaties guaranteeing them a right to off-reservation fishing. In Washington v. United States the Supreme Court will decide whether the "fishing clause" guarantees "that the number of fish would always be sufficient to provide a 'moderate living' to the tribes."
The "fishing clause" of the Stevens Treaties guaranteed "the right of taking fish, at all usual and accustomed grounds and stations . . . in common with all citizens of the Territory." In 2001 the United States and a number of tribes sued Washington State claiming that it violated the treaty by building culverts that prevented salmon for reproducing leading to the salmon supply significantly plummeting.
Washington State argued it has no "treaty-based duty to avoid blocking salmon-bearing streams." The Ninth Circuit disagreed construing the treaty in favor of the Indian Tribes stating: "The Indians did not understand the Treaties to promise that they would have access to their usual and accustomed fishing places, but with a qualification that would allow the government to diminish or destroy the fish runs."
Washington also argued that it had worked with the United States to develop a fifteen-year schedule for "remediation of fish problems on forest roads." Washington alleged that it "reasonably concluded that by approving or failing to object to the State's 15-year remediation schedule for forest roads, the NMFS [National Marine Fisheries Service] had determined that the schedule satisfied any treaty obligation." The Ninth Circuit pointed out that only Congress may abrogate a treaty with an Indian tribe. Congress has not abrogated the treaties in this case.
The Ninth Circuit ordered Washington to remediate over 800 barrier culverts. Washington argued that the Tribes failed to make "any specific showing that those culverts have significantly diminished fish runs or tribal fisheries, or that replacing them will meaningfully improve runs." But a 1997 report to the Washington State Legislature prepared by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Washington State Department of Transportation said: "Fish passage at human made barriers such as road culverts is one of the most recurrent and correctable obstacles to healthy salmonid stocks in Washington." Washington State claims it will cost several billions of dollars to replace all of the culverts.
In its certiorari petition Washington State points out this case has implications beyond its borders as "the same fishing rights are reserved to tribes in Idaho, Montana, and Oregon." More generally, Washington State claims that the Ninth Circuit interpretation of the treaty "conflicts with [the Supreme] Court's holdings about treaty interpretation." "By inferring a massive commitment nowhere mentioned in the treaties, never contemplated by the parties, and never recognized by the parties during the decades after the treaties, the panel ignored this Court's direction."

Introduction: Customized Nintendo Switch Go Bag
We are going to be making a Customized Go Bag, made specifially for holding the Nintendo Switch and all of it's accessories. The bag features multiple pockets, designated spaces for Joycons and a Pro Controller, a quick access pocket lined with microfiber to store the Switch itself. My favorite feature of the bag is the quick access pocket. There is a zipper on the side of the backpack that leads to the microfiber lined pocket. The pocket is also accessablie from the inside of the bag. The pocket makes it easy to quickly store the Switch. With or without the Joycons.
Lets get started
Step 1: Gather Supplies
For this bag I used the Cumberland Backpack Pattern from Sew Sweetness, but you can use any backpack pattern you would like. To be respectful to the pattern designer, I will only be showing you modifications that I have made/things I have added.
In addition to the supplies mentioned in the backpack pattern you will need:
12' invisible zipper
Microfiber cloths (Purchased from Walmart)
Flexable cutting mats (from the dollar store)
Fabric Marking Pen
Velcro (I used sew in velcro, but iron-on would be easier)
Fabric glue, or Hem tape
an additional piece of exterior fabric 8x14
1/4in Elastic ( I used black )
You will want to start backpack construction per the pattern instructions. Stop when you have finished the main components, but before you have attached the front and back pieces of the main large pocket.
Step 2: Attaching Elastic for Joycon Holders
1.Take your Joycons and place them on the Front Lining Pocket piece. Make sure they are exactly where you want them.
2. Using your fabric pen make marks on both sides, top, and bottom of each Joycon.
3. Cut 4 Elastic pieces to 2 1/4 in. long.
4. Fold over elastic 1/4 inch and sew on top of the side mark. Repeat with other side of elastic.
5. After attaching the first piece of Elastic, make sure your Joy con will fit.
6. Repeat step 4, until all 4 elastic pieces are attached
7. Clean up all pen marks.
8. Set aside
Step 3: Attaching Elastic for Pro Controller Holder
1. Place the Pro Controller, centered, about 2 inches from the top of the bag.
2. Make 4 marks with the fabric pen. On the top and bottom of both sides.
3. Cut two pieces of elastic to 5 1/2 long.
4. Fold elastic over 1/4 in, and sew on top of marks. Be sure the elastic is vertical.
5. Repeat on other side
6. Check that your pro controller fits
7. Set aside
Step 4: Making Quick Access Pocket
1.Place switch where pocket will be
2. Cut 2 pieces of microfiber and 1 piece of fabric at 8x14
3. Take one piece of microfiber and the only piece of fabric. Place them right sides together and pin. (I like to use wonder clips)
4. Sew along the longest part with a 1/4in seam allowance.
5. Flip so right sides are out
6. Take your second piece of microfiber and lay it, wrong side down, on top of the fabric piece you just sewed. So place the wrong side of the microfiber to the right side of the fabric. Pin the bottom only, make sure you pin all three layers.
7. Sew along the bottom with a 1/4in seam allowance. Be sure to sew all three pieces together.
8. Flip the microfiber cloth on the top so that both microfiber pieces are now right sides together. You should now have a basic pocket. Leave the sides open for now, we will get to that later. You will now gently iron all seams.
9. Topstitch the fabric piece with only one of the microfiber pieces at 1/8in. Make sure the back microfiber piece is not in the way.
10. Cut a piece of velcro (hook & loop) 3 in long.
11. Attach velcro to the back microfiber piece and the front microfiber piece
Step 5: Stabilize Back Main Piece
Since this piece of the backpack houses the switch and the pro controller I wanted it to have a bit more stability.
1. Take the cutting mat and attach hem tape, or fabric glue to the back of one.
2. Center and attach the mat to the wrong side (back) of the pattern piece.
3. Cut off excess.
Step 6: Attaching Quick Access Pocket.
1. Take your marking pen and measure 1/4in up from the center. This will be where the bottom of the pocket will rest. I only made a small mark, but if it easier for you to mark a line that's fine.
2. Line up the bottom of the pocket to your new mark and pin.
3. Trim excess fabric
4. Sew the bottom of the pocket onto the back main pattern piece using a 1/8in seam allowance.
5. Pin only the back microfiber piece onto the main back pattern piece. Sew only the back microfiber piece using an 1/8in seam allowance.
6. Set aside
Step 7: Take a Snack Break
Not necessary, but highly encouraged! ( and highly enjoyed )
Step 8: Attaching Zipper for Quick Access Pocket
At this point you should have the backpack almost completely constructed. You should be ready to attach all pieces of the backpack together to make a whole backpack.
1. Cut two strips of fabric. They will be 1 1/2in by as long as your zipper is.
2. Attach pieces of fabric to the zipper. Place one right side of the fabric to the right side of the zipper tape. Sew with a 1/4 seam allowance, repeat on other side.
3. You will want to fold over the fabric 1/4 in and topstitch with an 1/8in seam allowance. Do this before you attach the zipper. I had to do it after and it was a lot more work.
4.You can start sewing the backpack together, just stop before you get to the zipper spot. You will want to sew one end of the pocket closed. Keep the side open you want for quick access. I chose the right side.
5. Place the zipper how you want it to be directionally. I opted to have the zipper open from the top to the bottom.
6. Place the right side of the zipper to the right side of the fabric. Sew together with 1/8in seam allowance.
7. Pin the other side of the zipper to the front of the backpack (see picture) You will want to make sure this is how you want your zipper oriented. If it seems fine sew on top of the topstitching.
8. Test out the zipper and check for holes.
9. If need you can unpick and start again. It is pretty tricky.
10. Finish backpack as per pattern instructions.
Step 9: Finished!
Now your back pack should be finished! Put in all your Switch accesories, games, and charging accessories and you are set to go!

Swazi teachers strike for economic justice, 2012
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
In 2012, Swaziland was a small landlocked country in southern Africa ruled by King Mswati III. Sixty three percent of the country's population lived below the poverty line. Government spending on education had continuously decreased since 2008. With the economy virtually stagnated, the International Monetary Fund had urged the government in February 2012 to reduce the size of its civil service. In many schools, class sizes had been gradually increasing up to 100 pupils per class. The government employed short term contracts in the school system to exclude teachers from benefits and pensions. Several laws, such as the Subversive Activities Act (1938) and Public Order Act (1963), severely limited freedom of association and expression.
Teachers received only a 4.5 percent salary increase for the 2009/2010 year when consumer inflation rates rose to seven percent. The 2010/2011 fiscal year experienced inflation rates of six percent, and teachers again asked for a 4.5 percent raise to adjust to the increasing cost of living. The government instead put a wage freeze on teacher salaries until 2014. In 2012, inflation was over nine percent. The government stated that it could not afford to raise teacher salaries despite the 30 percent pay increase awarded to parliament members in 2012 and the King's annual personal spending allowance of 20,000,000 Euros. Primary and secondary school teachers received salaries of roughly 400 and 700 dollars per month. Two thirds of the country's 1.3 million people lived on the equivalent of two dollars per day while Parliament members made 2,400 dollars per month, with many added benefits.
The Swaziland National Association of Teachers Union (SNAT), founded in 1928, organized teachers from preschools through secondary schools as well as college lecturers. SNAT, led by President Sibongile Mazibuko and General Secretary Muzi Mhlanga, called for a two day strike on 13-14 June to demand a 4.5 percent pay increase and cessation of government cuts of public employee salaries. Over 6,000 teachers, roughly half of Swaziland's teachers, participated in this two day action.
Education International (EI) expressed solidarity with Swazi teachers in their struggle for economic justice and improved status as professionals worthy of respect and fair treatment by administrators. Education International is a federation of teacher and education employee unions around the world, representing over thirty million employees in roughly four hundred organizations. EI launched an online campaign in partnership with Labor Start, a website geared to campaigning and distributing news on behalf of the international trade union movement, encouraging people to submit messages to Swaziland's king and parliament.
The Government Negotiating Team (GNT) called SNAT executives to a meeting following the two day strike. The government insisted it could not afford to increase teacher salaries, and the GNT sought to dissuade teachers from striking by claiming the planned strike action was illegal. Sibongile Mazibuko argued in an interview that if the government could afford to lose a reported 18 million dollars per month to corruption and increase its cabinet salaries by 30 percent, it could afford to pay its teachers.
On 21 June, SNAT began an open ended strike during which over half of its 9,000 members would take part. National Association of Public Servants and Allied Workers Union members soon joined the strike, though 70 percent of NAPSAWU's members continued working. Nurses of the Swaziland Democratic Nurses Union (SDNU) also participated in the strike. On 28 June, members of the Swaziland Transport and Allied Workers Union joined the strike. Many students in urban areas deserted the teacherless schools and joined their teachers in protest.
The government responded to the strike by cutting striking teachers' July salaries by one third. The wave of protests across the country prompted government to call up prison guards to help the overwhelmed police force. On 26 June police arrested several students and three teachers for throwing stones at riot police. Police arrested many teachers under ambiguous charges as teachers traveled to encourage others to join the strike and responded to crowds of strikers with threats, beatings, water cannons, rubber bullets, and tear gas.
When nurses at the capital's main government hospital attempted to start a march from the building, police in riot gear blocked them. The nurses in response, danced in the parking lot and sang protest songs. In late July, a group of several dozen parents of children attending the abandoned schools attempted to deliver a petition to Parliament, demanding a raise for teachers, but police blocked them. They gathered in a nearby field and sang protest songs.
On 19 July, the country's industrial court ruled the strike illegal and the government won an interdict against the strike from a government appointed judge. Following the strike ban, SDNU nurses returned to work but engaged in a slow-down strike. The large majority of teachers continued to strike despite the court ruling as the strike came to represent larger demands of a government held accountable by the people.
On 24 July, the government issued a mandate for teachers to return to work. Many teachers returned to the classroom but did not teach. The next day, nearly 3,000 teachers marched in the two towns of Siketi and Umhlanga. The government ordered Swaziland's Teaching Service Commission (TSC) to fire any teacher participating in or planning to join the strike. Starting on 1 August, the TSC began firing hundreds of teachers, including all SNAT executives, who temporarily suspended the strike to reconvene and discuss tactics for moving forward.
The majority of Swazis supported the teacher strike and thought that teachers should be reinstated and given the pay increase. The king allowed for a three day Sibaya (People's Parliament) meeting to commence on 7 August. Sibaya is an annual unofficial organization where civilians convened to discuss matters of national importance. Following popular uproar at the meeting over the dismissal of teachers, King Mswati ordered their reinstatement during the last week of August. However, he did not grant the pay raise for teachers.
In an interview, SNAT President Mazibuko stated that at previous people's parliament meetings, no one broached the topic of a multi-party democracy. But this time, people openly demanded the firing of the entire cabinet for its failure in handling the teacher strike and the establishment of a multi-party democracy. The monarchy had banned political parties in Swaziland for the past forty years. Mazubiko stated that the strike was successful in exposing the corruption of the government to the population and instilling the belief that they could try for a multi-party democracy.
The Royal mandate and mass firing of teachers caused widespread confusion among strikers over whether or not the strike had been called off. Hit hard economically by salary cuts, loss of jobs, and with few opportunities available in the private sector, many teachers began returning to work in mid-August. No official order from SNAT called off the strike, but in the face of repression and economic hardship, the strike died out over the month of August. By September, fired teachers had been reinstated by the government.
On 27 February 2013, Police Commissioner Isaac Magagula announced a 30 percent pay increase for police officers of the ranks of constable and sergeant. This caused renewed frustration among SNAT members and public employees. SNAT leaders feared that this move would pit civil servants against one another. Despite their outrage at the situation, SNAT did not revive the 2012 campaign.

Manufacturing activity grew modestly in the quarter to April while stocks rose at a record pace, according to the latest quarterly CBI Industrial Trends Survey.
The survey of 270 manufacturing firms showed that while output growth sped up slightly in the three months to April, it remained relatively modest overall. Manufacturers expect output volumes to be broadly flat in the next three months.
Total new order volumes grew slightly in the three months to April, driven by a marginal increase in domestic orders, while export orders were steady. Manufacturers expect total new orders to fall in the next three months, with both domestic and export orders set to decline.
The three months to April saw an unprecedented acceleration in the growth of stocks held by the manufacturing sector. Stocks of raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods all grew at their fastest (respective) paces on record. Looking ahead, though, manufacturers expect stocks to fall across the board in the next quarter.
While business optimism continued to fall in the three months to April, it did so at a slower pace than the previous quarter. Similarly, sentiment regarding export prospects for the year ahead also fell, but to a lesser extent than in the previous survey. However, the proportion of firms citing political/economic conditions abroad as a factor likely to limit export orders in the next three months was at its highest since January 1983.
Rain Newton-Smith, CBI chief economist, said: "UK manufacturing activity is just about holding up, but the unprecedented pace of stockpiling suggests that Brexit contingency planning stayed at the forefront of manufacturers' minds.
"It's encouraging that securing a Brexit extension has removed the cliff edge of a no-deal for now. However, it does not give manufacturers the longer-term certainty that they desperately need to invest in their businesses. For the good of the UK manufacturing sector, politicians must use this time well and come back with a renewed effort to get a deal over the line."
Tom Crotty, group director of INEOS and Chair of CBI Manufacturing Council, added: "A Brexit cliff edge has been avoided for now, but manufacturers still face an unacceptable level of uncertainty, and the prospect of a damaging no deal remains very real.
"The political deadlock on Brexit has continued for far too long. Politicians must find a compromise on a deal that can pass through Parliament as a matter of urgency."
Key findings of the survey:
- 18% of firms said they were more optimistic about the general business situation than three months ago and 31% were less optimistic, giving a balance of -13%. Optimism about export prospects for the year ahead (-21%) fell at a slower pace than in the last quarter (-32%)
- 34% of firms said the volume of output over the past three months was up and 23% said it was down, giving a balance of +11%
- 38% of businesses reported an increase in new orders, and 32% reported a decrease, giving a rounded balance of +5%, compared to +3% in the three months to January. Domestic orders picked up slightly (+4% from +0% in January), and export orders were steady (-3% from +9 in January)
- Stocks of raw materials (+39%), work in progress (+21%), and finished goods (+25%) all grew at their fastest respective paces on record (since 1958 for raw materials and finished goods, and since 1977 for work in progress)
- 26% of manufacturers said employee numbers were up in the quarter to April, while 18% said they were down, giving a rounded balance of +9% (from -4% in January)
- Growth in average unit costs (+29%) in the quarter to April continued at a similarly strong pace to the previous quarter (+26%), and remains well above the long-run average (+12%)
- Average domestic prices in the three months to April (+11%) grew at a slightly faster pace than the three months to January (+7%)
- Average export prices were broadly steady (+3%, from +0% in the three months to January).
Looking ahead:
- Output volumes in the next three months are expected to be broadly flat (-2%)
- New orders over the next three months are expected to fall (-8%), with both domestic orders (-7%) and export orders (-18%) declining
- The proportion of firms citing political/economic conditions abroad as a factor likely to limit export orders in the next three months (54%) was at its highest since January 1983
- Stocks of raw materials (-7%), work in progress (-9%), and finished goods (-8%) are expected to fall in the next three months
- Employee numbers are expected to be roughly flat in the next three months (+3%)
- Average unit costs are expected to grow at a similar rate next quarter (+31%)
- Domestic price inflation (+1%) is expected to be flat next quarter, while export prices (-5%) are expected to fall slightly
- Planned spending on plant & machinery (-14% from -18% in January) and buildings (-18% from -24% in January) for the year ahead remain negative
- Meanwhile, manufacturers expect investment in training & retraining and product & process innovation in the year ahead to be broadly flat (+2% from -11% and +2% from -8%, respectively, in the previous quarter)
- The factor most cited as likely to limit investment plans in the year ahead was demand uncertainty (61%), with concerns at their highest since January 2013. Meanwhile, concerns over labour shortages rose to a further record high (27%).

Unseen is able to reach a significant number of people affected by trafficking and modern slavery, and the fact that it is expanding its services shows it is ambitious in continuing to develop and improve the support it offers to people who need it.
GSK IMPACT Awards judging panel
Video transcript
I came into serious debt, I couldn't pay the bills, couldn't sleep, it got really hard. This friend of mine offered me to come and work with him in the UK for six months but I told him I didn't want to leave my son who was fourteen at the time. He said, "No problem, bring your son. I'll pay for your flight." It felt so good to find a solution and I came over here with high hopes. I didn't realise until we landed that my ticket was one way.
Unseen works with victims of trafficking and modern slavery that have been identified within the United Kingdom - so men, women and children. We started because we had come across trafficking in a Ukrainian orphanage, a colleague of mine started asking questions around what happens to these kids when they have to leave the orphanage, she found out actually at turf-out day the traffickers turn up, the kids get into the back of a car and are never seen again. We then realised it was an issue in the United Kingdom as well.
When we got there there were these other guys I didn't know, that's when they gold me, "You're going to be working with us now and if you don't do what we say we're going to hurt your son."
Around 40 million people are held in situations of modern slavery, within that figure about 20 million people are reckoned to be in situations of forced labour, 17 million in forced marriage and then the rest in sexual exploitation, so it's a huge global problem.
After the first year I got my son back. I worked for another three years after that. By then I was barely surviving. One day I felt my back just snap, I fell to the floor and I couldn't move.
The National Crime Agency in 2017 have seen approximately 5,000 people go into the national referral mechanism, they come from 108 different nationalities. Forced labour that's found in the world's supply chains contributes $150 billion profit per annum into the illicit trade that we call modern slavery.
The guy in charge came in a van with my son, he took us to this residential area, dumped us in the street and left us there. I remember walking to the hospital and collapsing.
Unseen have specialist safe houses that really understand the issue that can provide brilliant support.
We have people arrive with us from all sorts of different situations, we're able to give them a short period of safe accommodation and support for the practical things, accessing health care, we try and help people into work, into education and accessing a specialist trauma counselling to process the horrible things that have happened to them.
We've worked closely with them supporting survivors particularly around psychological care and sexual health care as well as any physical injuries that they might have sustained during their captivity.
Unseen have started the first specialist accommodation and support service to support kids to respond to the fact that even when those kids are found 60% to 80% of them go missing within the first 72 hours and we want to address that problem.
Unseen have a big role in working with the Antislavery Partnership to disrupt modern slavery activity.
The Antislavery Partnership is a multi-stakeholder group that brings together members to have a coordinated response to the problem of modern slavery.
Unseen started the modern slavery helpline to act as a hub for the United Kingdom. In 2017 we saw over 3,000 calls, we identified 4,500 potential victims across the United Kingdom, over 1,000 cases of modern slavery have been raised. Unseen's training is the only CPD accredited training around modern slavery. We have trained over 1,200 individuals last year across 80 different agencies.
If through the course of staying with us they are then able to get back to the freedom that was deprived of them; when it works it's wonderful.
I found my angels here. There's hope when there's a place like Unseen for the broken. There's hope.

In the court of public opinion, Chairman, Ekiti Local Government, Kwara State, Comrade Yinka Ayeni Dallas is enjoying favourable feedback as he has been getting things done. In an almost unprecedented vision of a future Ekiti local government, the former student union leader has been reviving the physical structures that got deadened resultant from long time abandonment. In this interview with AKINLOLU ABAYOMI, Comrade Yinka Dallas spoke on issues of interest.
What do you think can be done to address the challenges faced by the third-tier level of government in the country?
The powers in the hands of the Federal Government are too many, there are too many powers at the center, there is the need for fiscal devolution, more power should rather go to the states and it will trickle down to the local government level. The local governments are close to the grassroots, once you give more power to the local governments, the problems facing the country is already half-solved because we have 774 local government areas and it spreads across the country if anything is channeled through the 774 local governments, it must have touched people's lives in an unimaginable way within two days, people can have access to the local government headquarters with ease whereas it will take someone six hours to get to the state capital in some states while it may take 15 hours before you can get to the federal capital. You may spend as little as N100 as transport fare before getting to your local government headquarters while it costs a fortune to move from Maiduguiri , Lagos or Port Harcourt to Abuja.
Are there ways you think the nation's economic problems can be addressed?
Yes. We must get the economic policies right and avoid policy somersaults, we must also go back to the basics, there was no oil money when the Cocoa House was built, we must encourage farming through the third -tier level of government, we must encourage modernized and mechanized farming, the Federal government must make agriculture attractive to the youths, young graduates must be provided with the needed funds, the government must also take other necessary steps in collaboration with the technocrats and the economic experts. In our local government, we acquired 500 hectares of land for a programme known as 'Back 2 Farm' and we are doing everything possible to encourage our people, particularly, the youths.
What about the education sector?
Well, personally, I am of the opinion that the problems facing the education sector can be addressed by taking practical steps rather than dissipating energy on 'Committee' talks, it goes beyond that, it requires crusade, we need to devote attention to the welfare of the teachers. For example, on assumption of office as the Chairman, we came up with an education revival crusade tagged 'EDUREC' . What we did was to ensure that we made it known to the teachers that we care for them and that we want them to live a good life. We provided learning materials for the students, we repaired school structures and made mattresses available for the school clinics, we also felt it important that the teachers must be empowered and we made sewing machines available for some among them which will make it easy for them to have extra source of income, we are still working on other ways of getting them empowered and all these were done through the NUT and not through any external person or individual', he explained. What efforts has he made to attract investors to the local government and are there challenges? 'Investors can only be encouraged to come to an area where there are good access roads, the Federal Government roads in our local government has practically collapsed and it has discouraged potential investors from coming but we are doing everything possible to encourage the few existing ones which are mostly agricultural ventures. We have refurbished the grounded vehicles and got the security arrangements in the local government overhauled. The soil texture geographical rating done in 2014 and 2018 actually rated our soil as the best for soya beans and cassava farming.
It is a common feature for the government at different levels to accumulate debt, would you be willing to disclose the debt portfolio of Ekiti local government?
There is no problem about that but God has been there for us, we have not accumulated any debt and the last tranche of the debt we inherited would be cleared this month by the Grace of God, we have also had out of court resolution of the inherited court cases.
As a popular student union leader who for a good number of years was used to the idea of leading the people to demand for one thing or the other and now holding a political office, how easy has it been for you adapting to the new status?
Well, it was not difficult adapting to the dictates and the demands of the new office and status because I consider my roles as a student union leader and that of being a political office holder as having same features, there is really no difference, it is a familiar terrain, it is all about focusing on the affairs and the welfare of the others, you would not believe it that politicking in both the students and the youths movement is equally deep and full of intrigues as obtainable in the larger society.
There must have been instances where you, having forgotten that you are the chairman had almost called for Aluta action on some issues?
Thank you for that particular question, it is funny though but sometimes when something has become part of you, shaking the traits off may not be that easy. It actually had happened in several instances that I cannot mention here. I will temporarily forget that the buck stops on my table and would almost say 'let us…' (laughs). It is actually like that because for a good number of years, struggle had become my day to day activities.
What are your plans for the people of Ekiti local government?
It is not by might but I know that with God on my side, I will get things done in Ekiti local government. I want to ensure that an average Ekiti son and daughter who is based home will have regular access to the Chairman, I will always be there to identify with them during the moment of joy and grief. I want to ensure I live among them and have first-hand information about their challenges, problems and their needs. There are a lot of programmes in the pipeline but I actually want to open Ekiti local government to the whole world in such a way that such efforts will attract rapid developments and significant growth to the local council', he pledged.
What would you like to be remembered for?
I will like to be remembered for recording positive impacts in the lives of the people of my community, Kwarans, Nigerians and the whole world. I will also like to be remembered for showing the world how government can be run effectively such that in spite of the economic challenges one will still put a smile on people's faces.
Have you been putting smiles on people's faces or you have the intention to start doing it?
To the Glory of God, we have had cause to make positive interventions, you will find it difficult to believe that the local government secretariat had been disconnected from the national grid for a long time, when we came, we got five poles installed, fixed the transformer and paid the outstanding bills, an intervention that had electricity restored to the secretariat after 4-year and eight-month of getting the staff and the political office holders denied such a basic social amenity. We also introduced a N100 million-naira loan scheme through which the sum of N100,000 was made available to each of the lucky beneficiaries. We equally made cash donation of N10,000 each to indigenes of the local government that were recently posted to the northern part of the country for the mandatory one-year national service programme, by the National Youth Service Corps, those are the ones that can go for public consumption and we are hoping to do more.

Early schematics of the Children's Hospital of Saskatchewan were unveiled Thursday, giving students and residents of Saskatoon their first look at the $230-million addition to the Royal University Hospital.
At the unveiling, the provincial government announced its approval of the design and committed an additional $15.5 million, boosting its total investment up to $215.5 million.
"The project team did a phenomenal job of helping patients, families, staff and health professionals rethink how best to meet the health needs of our province's children and expecting mothers," Health Minister Dustin Duncan said at the announcement.
During two week-long sessions, teams of patients, families, health staff and physicians created design concepts that included two-dimensional floor plans, three-dimensional table top models and life-sized mock-ups of several rooms.
That work resulted in an overall design concept that architects used to create the actual floor plans.
The goal was to create an innovative facility that puts patients first, Duncan said.
The Saskatoon Health Region expects to earn $13 million in interest through its investment of the earmarked funds. The remaining $1.4 million will be funded through the Children's Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan.
The new facility will be located along the riverbank next to the Dubé Centre for Mental Health. Construction is slated for early 2014 with a completion date of late 2016.

One of my young, ambitious employees came to me after discussing upcoming project requirements with an important NBI client. "Their budget for the project is $150,000," the employee said to me, "but I think I can get $180,000 out of them."
I had to stop the conversation and remind him that this isn't how NBI operates. Our approach has never been to focus on how much we can get from clients, but rather on finding what I like to call the project's sweet spot. As in, where is the symbiotic point within our exchange of services and payment where we can solve the client's problem and get fair-value compensation for our work?
To further explain the sweet-spot concept to my new employee, I drew a triangle balancing on a pillar on our whiteboard.
"The sweet spot is all about balance," I explained. Too often companies drift towards one of the three triangle points, at the expense of the other two. More often than not, profit becomes their primary focus regardless of whether it fits a client's budget or solves the original problem. This approach might work out in the short term, but in the long run it alienates clients and throws your business out of balance.
We all know that business is about building relationships, but far too often those relationships take a back seat when money is involved.
At NBI, we've found that by instilling this sweet-spot mentality in our employees, it produces results and turns single projects into long-lasting business partnerships. And that approach benefits everyone involved.
