Top>Opinion>Daily English in the Lab
Assistant Professor, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Chuo University
Areas of specialization: Physical Chemistry and Materials Science
I watched a television program once where they were asking foreigners whether they could speak Japanese. How do you think they responded? Most of them said they could—but when it came to actual conversation, most of what they could come up with was arigato gozaimasu and konnichiwa. I remember being shocked that they had the self-confidence to stand there and say they could speak Japanese. Can you imagine what would happen if you asked Japanese people the same question? Throw out a "Can you speak English?" and I'm fairly certain that most people would simply respond "No."
The demand for globalization is nothing new, and the movement has reached universities as well. Chuo University has been participating in actively seeking to cultivate global human resources (http://global.chuo-u.ac.jp/english/aboutus/global/). Even at the academic conferences where we present our research findings, we're getting to the point where we're required to give presentations in English. Globalization is not synonymous with the English language, but unfortunately, if we want a shared communication tool that allows us to interact with people from other countries, it's English and not Japanese that will get us there. If we want to communicate our thoughts to another person, we have to be able to look them in the eye and speak with our own words. Simply reading a prepared English document aloud will cause people to tune out completely, and nothing will get across (we see this all the time watching parliamentary statements, for example). The ability to reach into our own minds and choose the right English words is becoming inescapable.
At the Photoscience and Spectroscopy Lab where I work, we take English very seriously as an essential skill for making our mark on the world. This is because we live in an era where companies and professionals have become increasingly globalized, giving us plenty of opportunities to interact with people from overseas and putting us in more situations where English is necessary. For this reason, we take thirty minutes during the day to host an "English café" in the Photoscience and Spectroscopy Lab. I'd like to start off by telling you a little bit more about this activity.
We have been holding three English café sessions a week since the beginning of the current school year. They are set up so that we start by watching a science-related video clip and then consider questions that have been prepared in advance. We usually have the master's level students select a video about five minutes long, introduce the English terminology required to understand it, and then prepare and present the questions. Most of the videos we use are taken from the TED-Ed website, and these often include easy-to-follow animation sequences as well. (If you get a chance, I suggest you take a look at TED-Ed. It is the educational version of the TED Talks that NHK runs as its Super Presentation series, but I think they tend to be more approachable than the regular TED Talks. They also feature video clips that are entertaining to watch even if you cannot fully catch the English.) The English café sessions can be hard on the students who have to prepare them, but they are informative and fun for the participants, who seem to be actively engaged.
Another activity we do at the lab is present research reports in English during our seminar classes. The presentations are every other week, and starting in the second semester we have had everyone—including the undergraduates—report their research in English. The discussion portion is done in English as well. You may be concerned that this would cause the discussion to remain shallow and lead to a shaky understanding of the content. In fact, that is exactly what happens, and there are frequently situations where the details of the discussion are miscommunicated. Nor are students able to get across what they want to say or effectively communicate about the topics they want to discuss, and I imagine this makes for a very frustrating experience. Moving forward with the research requires that we follow up in Japanese, and we sometimes continue our English discussions in Japanese later on. The process can be time-consuming and inefficient, but the reality is that unless we force the students into it, they will never use English while they are still in Japan. For science students, discussions about research are a chance to really put ourselves on the line, since they create a situation where we are left to our own devices in piecing together English sentences, keeping the conversation going, and coming up with responses to what we are asked. My hope is that as students continue to have these experiences, they will lose their resistance to using English.
Science students in particular are frequently convinced that they are bad at English and other subjects classified as liberal arts. This makes them tense when they first start using the language, and many of them are averse to it. But even the ones who agonize over not being able to say what they want to say in English end up developing to the point where they are able to clearly understand one another in English by the time they graduate a year later (three years later for master's students).
Japanese people tend to think that English conversation requires that they catch a hundred percent of what is said and speak fluently with perfect pronunciation and proper grammar. But do we really listen to every single word when we communicate in Japanese? Surely we listen to a certain extent, infer the rest, and form an idea in our mind about the overall gist of the conversation. We frequently ask for clarification on what was said, and misunderstandings sometimes crop up in the middle of a discussion. So there's no reason we shouldn't approach English conversation with the same lighthearted attitude. If someone asks whether you can speak English, it's perfectly fine to just say yes. Think about it—you've already understood the English question. And since you've already memorized so many English vocabulary words, you've already laid the foundation for a conversation. Speaking English starts as soon as you find the courage to step out of your resistance.
Genuine interaction starts when you actually look a person in the eye, speak with your own words, and start enjoying the conversation for its own sake. That's what it means to take a step towards globalization. In the Photoscience and Spectroscopy Lab, we're going to keep doing everything we can to ensure that our students can hold their heads high and announce, "I can speak English!"

Two MPs are in the lunch queue and discussing what meal they are going to have:
"I'm going all out today," says the first one, "a 5 course lunch with a couple of bottles of wine – it costs 250 but it's OK because I can claim it on expenses and the taxpayers will get stuck with the bill! Will you be having the same?"
The second MP laughs and says, "No, just a fruit salad for me today," as he reaches for a tub of fruit.
The first MP is baffled and exclaims, "But you can have as much as you like and you don't have to pay a penny! Just put it on your credit card and submit your receipt with the expense claim and you'll be reimbursed in full!"
"Ah, you misunderstand me," replies the second one. "I'm going to itemise my fruit salad as 3 apples and 2 blackberries," he continues, reaching into a Carphone Warehouse bag for the receipts….

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson could not be happier to be out of the spotlight as controversies swirl around President Donald Trump.
"Let me put it this way, I'm glad that Trump is drawing all the fire so I can get stuff done," Carson told the Washington Examiner.
Carson said he is continuing to learn on the job after nearly five months after assuming the post.
"There's no question that I've been forced to learn very rapidly a lot of stuff," he said. "But that's okay. I happen to have some excellent people around me at the non-assistant secretary level, at the non-deputy secretary level. Everybody's doing two or three times more than they ought to be doing."
Meanwhile, The Hill noted Carson, who made a bid for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, has found himself the subject of occasional controversy.
Carson drew criticism in March after he referred to African slaves as "immigrants" during a speech to HUD employees, according to the website. But for the most part, he has remained out of the spotlight.
He continues to strongly back Trump and the White House team.
"I think they've done well given the level of frustration," he told the Examiner. "I mean, can you imagine you've been elected president and the only thing anyone wants to talk about is Russia? Can you imagine how frustrating that is?
"People say he's wild with his tweets and things. I think he's pretty restrained under the circumstances."

text: UNITED NATIONS, April 7 (APP): The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has condemned Wednesday's large scale home demolitions by Israeli authorities in the Bedouin refugee community of Um al Khayr in the South Hebron Hills. As a result, according to UNRWA, 31 Palestine refugees, including 16 children were rendered homeless in a community that has endured several rounds of demolitions and often faced harassment from the nearby illegal settlement of Karmel. Already this year, over 700 Palestinians have been displaced by Israeli demolitions in the West Bank.

Chunky wooden ceiling beams.
Warm wooden elements – the beautiful rustic ceiling beams chief among them – give this room movement and life and provide muchneeded balance to all the slick surfaces. The beams' rough-hewn patina adds texture, while the curvy silhouettes of the counter stools offer a place for the eye to rest.
Polished concrete floor and glossy backsplash tiles.
In a contrast to the patina of the wooden elements, some welcome glow is brought in through the concrete floor that's buffed to a sheen and the thin horizontal tiles that give the effect of a grasscloth wallcovering. It's an inspired choice that ties in the organic and the synthetic and speaks to the consideration for all the details here.
COZY TEXTURES AND ROMANTIC COLOURS are well and good when the goal is to soften up a space, but sometimes – when you're given abundant natural light, an amazing view over Quebec's Lac-Saint-Louis and a client that wants to maximize both, for instance – creating a bold modern framework is the only way to go. Architect Rita Ghoche of Ghoche Architecte and kitchen designer Karine Forget Crowdis certainly thought so when they designed this kitchen in a converted farmhouse owned by a young family of four. The pros embraced all the strong elements and hard surfaces to create a dynamic envelope that's become the showpiece of the home. Here, we offer up the highlights
Discreet appliances and hardware.
No free-standing appliances, conspicuous knobs or handles distract from the pristine lines of the cabinetry here; seamlessly integrated features keep the aesthetic clean and modern.
Judicious use of black and white.
Black grounds this open kitchen, keeping the hard-working parts of the room (beams, cupboards, countertops) in the background. The use of white cabinetry on the island base works as a clever juxtaposition to maintain a bright vibe so that the darker shades don't overpower the space.
Mix of lighting styles.
A dramatic kitchen setting such as this one demands the next level of supporting players. The lighting choices are a case in point. From pendants to spots to bars, separate zones are illuminated to exacting effect.

New York, Jun 04, 2008
To be held at the Grand Hyatt Washington on June 24-25, the Open Forum will address the future of standardization, as well as opportunities for cooperation and collaboration among colleagues in the industry.
The event is the fourth in a series of ANSI-sponsored forums to foster open exchange between and among standards developing organizations (SDOs), consortia, stakeholders in the standards industry, consumers, and policy makers. Collaborative dialogue initiated at the March 2005 consortia sector caucus, and continued at the 2006 and 2007 Open Forums, will provide the foundation for this year's discussion.
"The 2008 Open Forum will have an overall focus on open discussion and information sharing," said Joe Bhatia, ANSI president and CEO. "This format will provide an open and neutral forum where all voices from the standardization community can be heard."
In accordance with the direction provided by participant survey responses earlier this year, the agenda focuses on the following topics:
Additional topics for discussion will include the intersection of standards and public policy as well as updates on Intellectual Property Rights and other legal issues impacting standard-setting organizations.
Advance registration for the 2008 Open Forum is required. To register online, click here. For more information, please visit ANSI's event page.

Its no secret that television, especially reality television has hit its low point. With the likes of Jersey Shore, Mob Wives, The Real Housewives, Teen Mom, and shit like Toddlers And Tiaras. Every time I surf through the channels I'm reminded of how mentally challenged so many humans around me are. However, it really stuck out to me earlier this week. While at my buddy's house, him, his brother and I were talking about how real some shows were and how shitty other ones were. Many of these shitty TV shows are inspired by redneck hillbilly life. Its awful. A gross interpretation of life. This got me to thinking about writing a blog about the shittiest TV shows brought to you by hillbilly rednecks currently being aired. So I bring to you the Top 10 Worst TV Shows Brought On By Hillbilly Rednecks:10) Gold Rush
This show focuses on the mining of gold found in Alaska and the Klondike, by various teams of miners. These guys rock hardhats, play with large mechanical equipment all day and dig through dirt looking for gold. These dudes ooze hillbilly.9) Deadliest Catch
This show focuses on fishermen aboard fishing vessels in the Bering Sea during the Alaskan king crab and C. opilio crab fishing seasons. This job is said to be one of the most risky jobs going. And yet there are still people who choose to do it. These guys basically live on a boat fishing for an extended period of time. Fishing for shit like crabs. Crabs. Not sharks or big ass trophy fish. Fucking crabs. Only hillbillies love fishing that much.8) Ax Men
Here's a program follows several logging crews into the forests of Northwest Oregon, Washington and Montana. The show highlights the dangers encountered by the loggers. Thanks for highlighting the dangers a logger encounters but I'm not quite sure why I would care about such an activity. Or why anyone would think anyone besides a fucking logger or family member of a logger would care. And if they did care then they should just pick up their cell phone and call/text that person to discuss it. Not waste valuable TV time airing such a boring program. You bring axes into the woods, you chop trees down and sometimes the trees fall on you- possibly killing you. I get it.7) Southie Rules
Southie Rules follows the day-to-day life of the Niedzwiecki family, a multi-generational family located in South Boston that lives all under one roof. They're not so much hillbilly rednecks as their actions are. They just screamed redneck to me when I caught 5-minutes of their premiere episode. It got as bad as to having one of the brothers sell meatballs to the neighbors on his bicycle so that he could pay the cable bill. That's fucking redneck if I ever heard it.6) Buckwild
I wrote about this show a little while back. Its your basically run of the mill MTV show these day. It follows 9 teenage/young adults through West Virginia as they do dumb, redneck, teenage shit. It reminded me of a dumber, younger Jersey Shore. And that's something I never thought I would ever say, a dumber Jersey Shore.5) Dual Survival
This is going to hurt a lot of people's feelings, but Dual Survival is fucking hillbilly as hillbilly gets. It features a pair of survival experts, Cody Lundin and Dave Canterbury in challenging environments. Season 3 will feature a change as Dave will be replaced with Joseph Teti. Doesn't matter who's featured in the show, watching grown men run around the woods in no shoes and trying to make fire out of a light bulb isn't electrifying television. I think I'd rather watch men log, fish, or mine gold.4) Duck Dynasty
Duck Dynasty follows the lives of the Robertson family, who became wealthy from their family-operated business, Duck Commander, which makes products for duck hunters, primarily the duck call named Duck Commander. This is Beverly Hillbillies version 2013. The Robertson's hunt ducks and own Duck Commander. I saw this program on my TV guide and decided to see what it was about. Well, I laughed and then thought back to writing this blog. Who the hell cares that much about ducks? Only duck hunter I ever saw was the Nintendo video game. And if the game in any indication, I'm head and shoulders out of the Robertson's league. I don't need a stinking duck commando to garner a perfect score. Just my trusty poach hunting down my prey.
I'll give him that prerequisite of marrying a girl, she's gotta be able to cook. Looks aren't everything these days.3) Moonshiners
Moonshiners dictates the life of people who illegally produce moonshine in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, Virginia, and South Carolina. That's right, there's a show that follows people around doing illegal activity. I don't know about you but if I'm participating in illegal activity I don't want cameras following me around. Hell I don't want people with me in general. I want to do that shit solo dolo. Take every last bit of that illegal activity to the grave with me. Not rednecks though. For a little bit of money and some TV time, they'll let you record everything they do. They live in the woods of Carolina and Virginia, not like anyone is going to find them.2) Swamp People
The show Swamp People follows the day-to-day activities for several Cajuns living in the Atchafalaya River Basin swamp in Louisiana, USA who hunt American alligators for a living. This is my show right here. This was my main inspiration for this blog. It was so close to being #1. So, so, so very close. I actually watched this show for a bit yesterday. I loved the hardcore hillbilly accents everyone had, even this 12-year chick that was on it. It was hilarious watching her talk about catching alligators with her mom. Totally reminded me of every kind of chick I would not put my dick inside. No way I'm volunteering my services to go hunt down alligators in the swamp. Alligators are the closest thing to living dinosaurs and they will willingly eat my ass without even questioning it. Rednecks on the other hand don't care. They go out there in a t-shirt and pants, some rope and a rifle and they hunt them some gator. Roughly 12 a day. All day, everyday.1) Here Comes Honey Boo Boo
Here Comes Honey Boo Boo is a reality television program on TLC that features seven-year-old child beauty pageant participant Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, along with her mother June Shannon, father Mike Thompson, and three older sisters. The show is mostly filmed in and around the family's hometown in rural McIntyre, Georgia, United States. Basically if you don't know what or who Honey Boo Boo is then you must have been living underneath a rock. These guys are the epitome of hillbillies and rednecks. They may have even redefined the game. Put it on a whole new level. This broad is huge. And so is her mom and the rest of her family. Literally huge. As in size, not popularity. She is a 7-year old beauty pageant participant who weighs probably 125-pounds. That's how low the standards are in the south. A 125-pound 7-year old can become a beauty pageant star. There are actual beauty pageant stars who are 21-years old and they don't even weigh 125-pounds. This chick's favorite meal is microwaved spaghetti and ketchup. I wouldn't eat that if I were dying on a deserted island and that was all there was left. I would just look up to Baby J and say, 'its been a good ride. I'll see you on the other side.' Not southern redneck hillbillies though. That's a delicacy to them. They start their day digging for some gold, then they chop down some trees, they go buckwild with their boys hunting duck and gators while sipping on their moonshine, and then they finish the day off with a nice little plate of spaghetti and ketchup. All in the life of a hillbilly redneck.
Feel free to disagree, but if you do, you're probably a hillbilly redneck and therefore I do not care.

Perfect fit, stretchy but not too stretchy and very flattering.
A little longer which I like
Wonderful skirt.
It's an easy business skirt. Washes well and looks good. Material stands up well through out the day.
Nice skirt. Please also make it available in other colours.
Eenvoudig maar mooi!
Material felt quite cheap and easily creased. Length was good but it had a weird red cross on the bottom back of it which seemed out of place. Returned.
Great skirt that has a nice stretch. Fits as expected, perhaps slightly large. If you liked the Allegro pants then you will love this skirt! Can be contour matched to LTS jackets. I wore it with a Karl Lagerfeld suit jacket and it looked great and like a suit.
The overall sizing was OK but this looked absolutely dreadful on. The length was a little too short for me, and it did nothing to flatter my figure. Sent back.
Looks lovely, however it was way too large.
The size I got was too big for me.
This skirt is too big in the waist for me. For some reason every clothing manufacturer seems to think that if you have an ample derrière, you must have a huge gut to match and that is simply not the case. When I get around to it, I'll have the skirt taken in and it will cost more than the skirt itself. C'est la Vie.

SOUTH YARMOUTH - Yarmouth police are warning motorists heading to South Yarmouth Sunday to seek alternate routes for a portion of the day. According to a Yarmouth police release, between 11:30 a.m. and 2:45 p.m., a section of Route 28 will be closed to accommodate the Yarmouth Seaside Festival Parade.
The parade steps off at 12 p.m. at Crowes Purchase (across the street from Captain Parker's) and travels one and a half miles to the Laurence MacArthur Elementary School field across from the State Police barracks.
During the parade, police will have two detours in place. Eastbound Route 28 traffic will be diverted at Winslow Gray Road and westbound Route 28 traffic will be diverted at North Main Street.
"Traffic flow will be severely hampered and restricted," said Deputy Chief Stephen Xiarhos, who encourages motorists traveling through the area to seek alternate routes.
More than 12,000 people came out to watch the parade last year, according to police.

A few weeks ago, we drove down to Norwalk for a stupendous dinner at Washington Prime, a new restaurant in the south part of the city near the old Chocopologie location. This was yet another bacchanal coordinated by Linda and her amazing PR team, and after a dry summer, we were looking forward to getting back to eating and drinking our way through the state. Washington Prime has been open for about two months now and features a new American menu with steak, locally-sourced vegetables, cheese, and bread, and clever cocktails on the menu.We sat outside while waiting for the group to arrive and sampled some of the cocktails, starting with the Pink Lady, with gin, pink peppercorns, lemon, and rose liqueur. The peppercorns were underwhelming but the drink was refreshing, with a nice foam on top. The Pippy Longstocking was equally delicious- strawberry lemonade with gin, vanilla beans, and seltzer, and the vanilla was the clear standout. While we didn't try the dirty martini, we admired that it was served smoking with dry ice billowing off the sides of the glass!
The standout cocktail of the night was the aged negroni, featuring barrel-aged St. George's gin in a classic negroni-style drink, pictured above. The gin in this wasn't aged as long as they wanted it to as they planned on aging each barrel for three months at a time, but if this was what they considered to be average, whatever they'll have next month will be ridiculous.Our meal started as the sun set down, and a bevy of finger foods was set before us- burrata with homemade pretzel bread and slaw, lobster bisque, and deviled eggs with freaking meatball garnishes. Take that, Olive Garden. The bisque was a stand-out, dairy-free but for the crème fraiche on top, and infused with briny, sweet flavor.The 'knuckle and claw' lobster dish, with blue corn grits, huge pieces of lobster, and creme fraiche, was a knockout, as was the poutine, a massive plate of cheese, oxtail ragu, and mysteriously alchemic fries that remained crispy underneath the deluge.Two salads appeared before the main course, both tasty and coated in toppings. The wedge salad featured large pieces of gorgonzola and the chop-chop, plenty of heirloom tomato and bacon. Normally I'm not a salad person but I licked both plates clean. Two more cocktails, a Moscow Mule and classic mojito followed, both delicious and well-crafted.Steak time. Filet and ribeye were sliced and served with six sauces- my personal favorite was a horseradish cream, and served alongside scallops and street corn. Surf and turf with a spicy flair. At this point in the night, we had tried all of the cocktails so we went back to our favorites and I had another aged negroni. Spoiler alert: this negroni may have contributed to my candid advice to the couple across the table from us, and their ensuing invitation to their beach house in Newport. I'd go if I could remember their names. It was that kind of night.
We finished with a few desserts- tiny cookie sandwiches, chocolate cake, and ice cream, and went on our way. Washington Prime has great potential and a gorgeous location right on the Norwalk waterfront.
Disclaimer: This meal was a special media event hosted by the PR team, we paid gratuity and all else was covered, hence no numerical rating.

Wenxian & Frank's Houston wedding was so sweet! We didn't get to meet these two lovebirds until the week of their wedding and they were such a joy to work with! : ) You can just tell from the moment you meet them, Wenxian & Frank are best friends. They are both so calm and nice, yet so fun and hilarious at the same time! It's really evident that they put each other before themselves and that's such a beautiful thing to see. They all got ready at the Omni Hotel before heading to the ceremony in style!
Their day was filled with sweet friends and family that traveled from all over the world to be with them. This was actually their third and final wedding ceremony so they could celebrate in the United States! : ) They showed gorgeous images and films from their Chinese wedding and we were all blown away! Everything was stunning! They even spent an entire day having portraits made of them in each of their different wedding outfits! It was really amazing to see how different the wedding experience can be over in China! The bar was definitely set high so we were very grateful that they chose us to document their big day here in Texas! We can't wait to share their wedding film with you guys but in the meantime, here are a few of our favorite photographs from the day!
Frank was one of the happiest, most mellow grooms we have ever worked with, which made our job super fun! : )
Alyssa loved getting to photograph all of Wenxian's gorgeous, white and champagne details!
We loved how sweet it was that Frank walked both of his parents down the aisle!
Wenxian made a beautiful bride, yet again! : )
The boys were certainly enjoying their time with the Lamborghinis!
Aren't they such a sweet couple?! : )
This was the largest and one of the sweetest wedding parties that we have ever photographed! 16 bridesmaids and 16 groomsmen, y'all!!!
You always have to a get a silly photo with the sisters! : )
Mary, Frank's mom, did a wonderful job of putting together this gorgeous wedding with the bride and groom living out of state.
Star Wars fans, prepare yourselves! Their wedding cakes were out of this galaxy! ; ) I'm such a dork. Haha! I shouldn't be allowed to write blog posts!
They even had amazing Chinese dancers who performed during the reception!
Needless to say, Frank & Wenxian are big Star Wars fans! Their photo booth by Xceptional DJ's was perfectly Star Wars themed!
Between the beautiful 6-tiered wedding cake, the stunning Star Wars groom's cake, and the personal cupcakes, their reception was a sugary heaven!
After the most wonderful wedding reception, they drove off in their Lambo! : ) Not a bad way to end the perfect night!
Wenxian & Frank, y'all are so sweet! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your beautiful day! We are so happy that you two found each other and we wish you nothing but happiness! We can't wait to share your wedding film!

I surprised myself when this year I made the choice to watch a documentary on KQED that I normally would have avoided, as a purposeful gesture of honoring my father for his birthday. "We Were Here" is a series of interviews about people who were here and in some way part of various aspects of advocacy, health care, or are typical of people who lived through the AIDS epidemic in San Francisco.

I had to read this twice just to be sure my brain was functioning properly. Yup it is. Apparently gay marriage opponents feel that a playground rhyme makes a good argument.
from Maine Sentinel
Arguments in favor of same-sex marriage have been stated as follows:
1. If we do permit and encourage homosexual marriage, it will bring a lot of money to our state. So, the biggest consideration is financial gain.
2. It has nothing to do with religion. Those with strong religious views are narrow-minded bigots who should stick to their beliefs and let others do the same.
Such reasoning is not based on truth and moral values, but on materialism and human reasoning.
May I suggest that perhaps our Creator be allowed to say a word.
In the beginning God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. Marriage was God's plan, not man's, intended for the good of mankind. The Apostle Paul said there were some things that are against nature.
We cannot argue with the fact that if all mankind were engaged in the homosexual union, that would be the end of mankind.
[emphasis mine]
Really? Are we still going there? Is this a debate between intelligent adults or a school yard name calling? We should be discussing this issue. Such debate is part of a healthy democracy. I will say however, debating morality and the word of God is tough. Belief of that nature is hard to debate without getting clouded by emotion, descending quickly into hateful bashing.
I don't know why I'm opening myself up to this, but let's try to tackle a few other things. When Guttenburg translated the bible for all to read he opened up a can of words. Now anyone can read the bible and interpret it how they wish. The vast majority of bible readers do not take the words literally. A.J. Jacobs tried that and you can see how hard it was to really take the bible word for word. So that means we now have people picking and choosing which parts to follow and which parts to conveniently ignore. Listen, Jesus was a great man with an excellent message, but I don't follow his words in the bible exactly. Few of us do.
Because of this picking and choosing, the morality issue quickly becomes relative. What is unforgivable to me might be fine by my neighbor. If you are going to make the argument that God says we should and should not do this follow all of his words, not just some. Otherwise your argument is severely flawed.

Potential of the organic and natural cosmetics market in Brazil is still underexploited
Consumers who are more environmentally aware and health conscious are looking for beauty products that are natural and sustainable but the industry faces hurdles.
Sales of organic products within the Brazilian food industry are growing at around 35% a year, according to the Organics Brasil Project, but the cosmetics sector is lagging behind. The latest survey carried out by Euromonitor pointed to a much more modest increase of 7.4% in the production of organic and natural beauty items between 2010 and 2012.
Brazil's rich biodiversity gives it an enormous potential in this market but the cosmetics industry faces difficulties. One of these is the absence of specific legislation covering the industry. The law that regulates the productive chain and sales of organic products in general has been in force since 2011, but no specific rules have been established for the cosmetic industry to date. Some companies overcome this by obtaining certification from international organizations, such as France-based Ecocert, to prove that their products are genuinely organic or natural. However, not all producers can afford the costs involved in obtaining such certifications.
The lack of specialist suppliers of organic ingredients is also an obstacle, with just over 5,000 suppliers listed in the National Organic Producers Register by 2012 - a relatively small number when it comes to manufacturing on an industrial scale. Another problem the organic beauty industry faces is the consumer's lack of knowledge and awareness. However, this situation has been changing.
Brazilians are becoming increasingly more interested in cosmetics and personal care products that are free of ingredients that could be harmful to their health as well as the environment. "We have noticed a really big change in the way consumers look for information. This leads them to be more aware of products that combine beauty and health in their purchase decision process," says Clelia Angelon, founder of Surya Brasil, a Brazil-based company that leads the market in the production of natural, organic and vegan products.
Surya Brasil was founded in 1995, when Angelon was looking for a less aggressive coloring product for her own hair. The brand is committed to environmental and animal protection and has thrived by creating organic products that are not tested on animals or use animal ingredients. Its products are currently sold in over 30 countries.
The company has 150 items in its catalogue, divided into 10 different lines, including Henna hair coloring powder, 100% vegan lip balms, and the Sapien Women range – with bath, body and hair care products. "We have exciting new releases in the pipeline. One of the highlights is an organic nail polish remover from the Exotic Animals range, using nature-friendly solvents and vegetable glycerin. Its oil deeply nourishes the nails and stops them from becoming dry and whitish. The product does not contain acetone and is certified by Ecocert, which guarantees the origin of its organic ingredients," says Angelon.
Surya Brasil was one of the first Brazilian brands chosen by cousins Mila Amaro and Priscila Melo when they launched the e-commerce e-cosmétique in March of this year, focusing on organic, natural and vegan cosmetics. "We created the website as we have great faith in this kind of product ourselves as consumers," says Amaro. E-cosmétique's portfolio includes around 400 products manufactured without synthetic or artificial components and made by companies that are concerned about sustainability. "We want to take care of our body in a healthy way and make a contribution to the well-being of people and the planet," says Melo.
Another recently created company that is also exploiting this niche is VeggieBox. This subscription service delivers a monthly box of natural cosmetics that are cruelty-free and free of animal ingredients to its clients' homes. VeggieBox helps customers discover products created in a responsible way by taking great care in their selection. "We rely on the help of bloggers specialized in organic products and check up on all the ingredients to ensure they really are certified," says co-owner Samyra Cunha.

Accessories Hanger – Creations by WV
If there's one thing we have far too many of in our home – it's bows. But you will never hear me admitting this out loud, and you will certainly never hear me admitting it in front of my husband. But, in fairness to myself (and my shopping habits), we do go through them like hotcakes. I send Cassie to day care in bows that never come home again, we go to the park and I swear Cassie scatters the bows like they are breadcrumbs in Hansel and Gretel, and that's not to mention the bows stored under her car seat from when she has flung them off in protest during a long car ride. So the issue isn't the bows themselves, it is having nowhere to store them all. Which is why I am obsessed with this gorgeous accessories hanger from Creations by WV.
It's big, plenty of space, gorgeous design and easy to hang. What more can you want – except maybe a second one so the girls don't have to share! I went with pink, white and grey, which is the theme of the girls' new bedroom I am putting together, and this gorgeous hanger fits in perfectly. Even with the copious amounts of bows we seem to have collected over the years – the hanger seems to fit them all without a problem. And the best part? I can finally see all the bows in one place and match them to each outfit appropriately.
Not only can you put clips down the rope, but you can hang headbands off the bottom, which means Vivi is covered too until she grows a little hair! Each one is handmade, which means you can choose what colours you would like to match your décor. I think this is the perfect excuse to go out and buy more bows for the girls!

text: Since releasing her debut EP 'In Jodi's Bedroom' in 2009 Tawiah has built a reputation as a prodigious live performer and a distinctly original, contemporary voice as a songwriter and recording artist. Her explorations in alt-soul have lead to her being championed by the likes of Gilles Peterson, Zane Lowe and The Guardian (to name a few) as well as high profile collaborations with the likes of Cee-Lo Green, Kindness, Cinematic Orchestra, Paul Oakenfold and Mark Ronson. In June 2017 Tawiah released her 'Recreate' EP which sees her venture into unexplored territories, seamlessly blending avant-garde musical leanings and beautifully melodic sensibilities. Disjointed, low slung beats run throughout, cloaked in a mist of dark, layered harmonies and perfectly complimented by strings composed by Flying Lotus and Lana Del Rey collaborator Miguel Atwood Ferguson. Her voice is uncompromising, alternating between thoughtful restraint and impassioned abandon. The vestiges of Tawiah's early vocal training in church contrast against the distinctive South London accent that has helped to place her firmly at the vanguard of a diverse yet notably British alternative soul movement in recent years. With her debut album due for release next year Tawiah looks set to continue blazing a trail in 2018.

INTERVIEW: Mallory Knox On New Music: "We Are Ready To Be Completely Different"
There's new Mallory Knox music in the world! Rock Sound spoke to Mikey Chapman and Sam Douglas about moving on from a major label, new music and the future.
Says Sam Douglas (bass / vocals): "I feel that when you're writing a new record you have these big hopes about what could happen and I feel that we set the bar really high.
"We ended up doing what I feel was our best headline tour to date and were able to go around Europe, too. So going from doing nothing while writing the album to going straight back into touring, we realised pretty quickly that that was what we had really missed doing.
"When you've been a band for eight years, instead of constantly promoting material that we wrote two years ago, we felt better to just start writing again.
"As soon as we finished the headline tour and in the down time when we constantly waiting around to promote 'Wired' stuff, we were already thinking about the next step. Not because we didn't think 'Wired' achieved our goals. It's more being three albums down and thinking of doing a fourth record meant not waiting around anymore.
"We're not a new band on the scene, so let's keep writing and keep enjoying it. When you are constantly promoting stuff you kind of forget what you are doing it for and the whole enjoyment of it all. 'Wired' made us realise that again. Coming back on to the festival circuit has made us not hungry for success but hungry for what we actually do. Made us think about having as much fun as we possibly can with this again."
Sam: "It feels good. The Sony experience as a whole is something that I will never forget. It's something that once upon a time I really enjoyed and was proud of.
"To sign a record deal, as a kid was something that would have been more than a dream come true. So to sign to a major was unbelievable.
"This year though we realised that there was a lot of pressure. With Sony there is this level of expectation and you have these goals that you have to reach and to be honest we weren't really on the same page.
"The best thing to do for both parties was to call it and move on. This is why we feel so excited now. We are literally starting again with a clean slate. We can be in charge of every department. We can be ourselves and not give a fuck. It's how we did things at the start of the band and it's how we can do things now."
Mikey Chapman (vocals): "It was missing a personal touch for sure. We all felt it. It's nice to be back at a point where that touch is once again there. I feel it's quite an exciting prospect."
Sam: "When it comes to things like big board meetings, they are made out to be so important to the campaign and the layout of what you're doing for the next year and the reality is they are just 45 minutes of people sitting in a room who cant wait to go to the pub. You get nothing done.
"People can care about your band and they can like you as people and they can be as powerful as they want, but they are never going to care about it as much as you do.
"This campaign has reminded me that that is always going to be the case. As soon as I stopped giving a fuck about that it enabled me to enjoy every single aspect of being in a band again.
"In reality who fucking cares as long as the songs are good and I have fun playing them and we have fun writing them?
"This record may have not done the best in figures but who cares? This last tour was the some of the most fun I have ever had on stage with some of the best crowds we have ever had. You have people saying, 'Well, what do you determine as success?'
"I say success is writing an album that I think is the best thing we have ever done and the shows we have played have mirrored that in every way. There is so much progress there that we can now go down any path that we want to."
Sam: "If you keep writing the songs everything else should follow. Look at the British scene and the last three years of bands like Deaf Havana and Lower Than Atlantis and Don Broco. They all [left] majors and are arguably at this point in their careers bigger than they have ever been.
"There is fuck all reason that won't happen to us. I know the songs that we are writing now and I know exactly how we are going to be and how much passion and confidence we will have going forward."
Watch the video for the band's new song 'Sugar' below.
Sam: "To tell the truth 'Sugar' was written to be on 'Wired'. It was just going to end up being an extra single at some point in time. It was a case of we had all of this material for 'Wired' and knew what we wanted to singles to be, but we knew that this song was too good to just be an album track.
"It's like I mentioned, with all the stuff that we have behind us that we have been working on, we know that the next thing is going to be our best.
"With 'Sugar' I was kicking and screaming for it to be on the album. I thought it could have been the biggest song. It could have been this record's 'Shout At The Moon' or 'Lighthouse'. We always knew this song would come out but it was also the last song written specifically for 'Wired'.
"It still had that honesty so it is a complete carry on from what we were doing. It's a complete step forward from that record."
"We knew all along this was going to be a single. Whether we held it back for a few months or a year, we had already made that decision.
"We kept it back thought because we knew that it brought something different to the table. I feel as though it's a good example of everything the band has ever done.
"It's the gritty intro into the weird sounding verses and then having an uplifting epic chorus. It sinks back into 'Asymmetry' days but also has the grit of 'Wired'. It's almost like a 'Best Of' song."
Sam: "Writing these songs, lyrically there was an underlying frustration for what we had been through.
Mikey: "There was still a wave of not really knowing what was going to happen and we maybe delved in the political side of things a bit..."
Sam: "You always want to be the best that you can possibly be and we have always, even now, felt like the underdogs. Always the band that people say, 'Oh they're quite good'.
"I wouldn't still be in this band if I didn't believe that we were my favourite band. I've always strived to write songs that as a listener I would want to hear.
"There has always been that frustration from the last few years that we are maybe not as big as we should be and I say that without being arrogant. I always believe that we're better than what we get given credit for.
"These new songs we have been working on definitely have that frustration running through them, but in different formats."
Sam: "This is now a complete rebirth. It's not like tearing it up and beginning again because everything we have achieved I am so proud of.
"Yet we're at that point creatively and emotionally where we are ready to be completely different. We will always remember what we are and where we've come from, but now it's a case of not holding back. Do everything without fear and fucking go for it. We've probably sat on the fence about certain things, but now we are going all in. This is just the beginning."

- About this book
This book addresses key principles in the optimal management of diabetes to facilitate smooth and safe anesthesia and surgery with the best possible outcomes. It addresses a range of topics, including: diabetic emergencies, glycemic control in emergencies, the routine perioperative setting, preoperative evaluation in routine and emergency surgery, intra- and post-operative management for neurosurgery, cardiothoracic surgery, gestational diabetes, bariatric surgery and other major surgeries. A dedicated chapter on Metabolic Havoc of Uncontrolled Diabetes provides the in-depth understanding of diabetic pathophysiology required in surgical situations, while a special chapter addresses commonly asked questions on surgery and diabetes.
Despite many recent advances in surgery, anesthesia, and diabetes research, perioperative diabetes management is often not addressed adequately. This is largely due to an insufficient understanding of insulin physiology and its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics under normal and stressful conditions. The optimal management of surgery in diabetes calls for an integrated, collaborative, and proactive approach. Surgeons, anesthetists and physicians should know the central, basic aspects of perioperative diabetes management and understand the contribution that each one makes to the best outcome, as well as their limitations.
- About the authors
Sanjeev Kelkar: An MD in Internal Medicine who has worked in many fields of health care, but diabetes has remained his focus for the last three decades. A key figure in India, he has successfully conducted innovative teaching programs for postgraduate doctors in collaboration with the Australian University in Newcastle. He was awarded for this work by the Australian Government and Australian Industry. With a few other doctors he founded the Diabetic Foot Society of India, which has since become recognized throughout the Diabetes World. Improving the understanding of Diabetes and Diabetic Foot among allopaths, paramedics, and doctors from traditional systems of medicine in India through numerous interactive workshops is another of his achievements. He has written and edited many books on Diabetic Foot Management.
Shubhangi Muley: An MD in Anesthesia from AIIMS, New Delhi.

Final Report for FNC99-272
Comparing Various Organic Soil Amendments and Mulches
Project Type: Farmer/Rancher
Funds awarded in 1999: $4,977.00
Projected End Date: 12/31/1999
Region: North Central
State: Missouri
Project Coordinator:
Karen Davis
WildThang Farms
Project Information
Cut-flower businesses demand high nutritional soil requirements and intensive farming methods, which can drain sustainably intended systems.
Objectives: 1) To evaluate the long-term effects of three organic soil amendments on soil nutrient levels and soil structure and 2) to investigate the impact these amendments have on the quality and quantity of plant material in the cut-flower business.
The producer applied dog hair, aged horse manure and woodchip compost to annual and perennial cut-flowers, as well as ornamental corn, amorouth, okra and pepper plants. She also mulched fall flowers with both black plastic and dog hair.
The producer incorporated the mulch into the soil before planting and applied additional mulch to plots after planting.
Results: Plants mulched with dog hair showed considerably more growth, improved color, increased production and reduced pest pressure through the entire growing season than plots mulched with manure or woodchips.

Witron Wins Prestigious IFOY Award In The 'Premium Category'
Published on May 17 2018 2:05 PM in Supply Chain tagged: Trending Posts / Logistics / WITRON / IFOY Award
Witron, the family-owned company founded by Walter Winkler from Parkstein, was awarded the prestigious IFOY Award at the world's leading logistics show, CEMAT – an integral part of the Hannover Fair.
Witron's CEO, Helmut Prieschenk, received the prize in the category 'Integrated Warehouse Solutions', which is considered the 'premium' award category. Witron, the general contractor for logistics, won the award for the implementation of logistics processes for the leading Swiss food retailer Migros at its distribution centre in Suhr.
With this solution, Witron combined the logistics processes for different distribution channels and different product groups into a mechanised system, and consequently optimised cost-efficiency along the entire supply chain.
Integrated Omni-Channel Solution
"Witron is the first system integrator worldwide to have succeeded in developing an integrated Omni-Channel solution and merging the volatile small-volume order picking of migrolino AG with the regular Migros store business", said Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Michael ten Hompel in a congratulatory speech. Today, the distribution centre in Suhr supplies 600 Migros stores of different sizes, and 300 Convenience stores for its migrolino subsidiary.
Helmut Prieschenk, Witron's CEO, shared his feelings of pride with Witron Project Leader, Rainer Muendlein, and Ernst Pfrunder, the Management Board Member responsible for the distribution center in Suhr.
"The foundation for this extraordinary success is undoubtedly the cooperative partnership, which we have been maintaining with Migros for many years," emphasised Prieschenk. "As you can see, leading-edge solutions that generate sustainable competitive advantages for the customer in terms of cost-efficiency, flexibility, and ergonomics are generated in a business relationship characterised by mutual trust and loyalty."
A repeat rate of more than four projects per food retail customer shows that Witron keeps its promises.
The IFOY Award
The IFOY Award programme has established itself as an indicator of economic efficiency. Due to its specialised, underlying expertise, it is regarded as the most important innovation awards ceremony in the intralogistics area.
Thus, the demands of the international IFOY jury – more than 30 accredited consultants from manufacturing, logistics services, media, and science sectors – are equally high. The candidates are subjected to a selection and test procedure that lasts more than six months.
"In the end, it turns out that all finalists are far ahead of their competitors in terms of quality, innovation, and suitability for daily use – not only on paper but also in practical use," emphasised Anita Wuermser, Managing Director of the jury.
The IFOY Award, which is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy is presented by the Association for Materials Handling and Intralogistics within the VDMA.

Live notetaking at the #IIeX conference in Atlanta. Any errors or bad jokes are my own.
Culture: Blue coean or black swan, by Grant McCracken, Culturematic
- Organizations exist in a state of perpetual surprise – Peter Schwartz
- Where does disruption come from? It's hard to detect it went it beings and it's hard to detect danger.
- Should we factor culture into our considerations? Of course, yes.
- Bitters remained out of fashion for a very long time until the mixology reevolution in California. Sales spiked.
- But data spikes all the time so how do you distinguish noise from signal?
- We've seen a spike in hard soda recently [yuck. Don't mess with my root beer!] Does this mean the end of mixology?
- Social data is great for politics but not so great for culture. Political supporters live in their own worlds on twitter, they are completely separated.
- On the other hand, Google trends tracked the love of goats and goat cheese and the loss of the south beach diet. You can watch markets on Amazon, google, and etsy to learn how and where a trend is changing.
- We need to factor culture into the mix, like a weather map, show the changes in motion, make predictions about where and how fast they're changing.
Macro Matters; Looking forward to the future context of consumption, by J. Walker Smith
- The third age of consumption, just coming out of an age of unlimited expectations and promises, everything could be overcome. But now we are bumping up against capacity.
- Aspirations of lifestyles are now changing. Live large, carry little. We want to live as big a life as possible but without all the badge of the past – less stuff, less upkeep, less hassle, less debt, but no decrease in enjoyment. THis is because of constraints of capacity.
- Cognitive capacity – absorbing and processing the entire marketplace is impossible. Fragment nation (white paper). People are trying to keep up and marketing activities have skyrocketed. We are outstripping capacity of consumers to keep up. People feel like we are stalking them online. And we are.
- Economic capacity – defying gravity (white paper).
- Resource capacity – planet cannot support more growth happening the way we've done it before. Global warming is a capacity we've lost. There are 8 other capacities and we are risking those too.
- Third age of consumption – growth, value, competitive edge are driven by relationships, experiences, and algorithms. People don't want the product, they want the benefit. We need to decouple products and benefits. People don't want to connect with brands and logos. They want to connect with people. People want algorithms from marketing to find the right fit. Now we need to advertise to algorithms.
- After the war, people had no stuff and they wanted stuff. A couple decades after that, we switched to wanting experiences. Now we are in a social market place. The locus of value has changed.
- Uprising of allegiances – pundits think America is falling apart but this is false. America has never been more connected and networked than today. It looks different and has sharper elbows but there is more focus on allegiances than ever before.
- [He is really an impassioned speaker! And, he uses notes effectively. You CAN use notes as a speaker and do an awesome talk.]

Holy Trinity Elementary
Juniper Ridge Intermediate
MQP Elementary
Prior to open registration, we are asking interested parties to email email@example.com with the following information;
SUBJECT LINE: Name of your school, and "After School Program"
BODY OF EMAIL: Name(s) and grade(s) of your child(ren), the time of day you will be picking up your children from Axtion, as well as if you need morning transportation and the time you will need to drop your child off at Axtion.
We will put your name on a "First to Call" list when we are open for registration, before we open the registration to the public.
No worries. If you want to start your after school program at Axtion but are with another program now, simply put in your 4 week notice and register for our program which starts on Jan. 5/20. If you are charged a cancellation fee, don't let that make you feel like you don't have the option to move, simply show us proof of the amount you were charged and Axtion will credit your account to a maximum equivalent to the last two weeks free at the end of the Axtion After School Program.
Therefore you have nothing to lose but a lot to gain with the benefits of all the physical activities and rides at Axtion.
Ask your kids if they would like to go to Axtion for an after school program. Their reaction should be reason enough alone, but let me explain why.
When I was a kid growing up in Portugal Cove, my after school time was spent climbing rocks and trees, jumping from rock to rock in the river, walking trails in the woods, pretending to be walking a tight rope while walking and balancing myself on my neighbour's fence, playing tag, and other outdoor adventurous activities.
Today's risky outside play is now looked at as dangerous, hence limiting your child's imagination to the limitations of the after school program you are with within a small crowded area. According to David Suzuki's Nature of Things program, "The Power of Play", ( see link below), this has been part of the reason why children today are less active, more shy, lower self confidence and have greater chances of developing anxiety as they get older.
I wanted to re-create my outside childhood fun in a safe but still challenging environment. Over the past seven years of operating Axtion, I have seen huge positive confidence building in hundred's of children, including my two daughters, going from the fear of trying to climb and jump, to now having full confidence and self esteem to do it all.
Do you want your child to develop confidence, self esteem, and lower their chances of injury and developing anxiety? Then watch this episode of CBC's The Nature of Things with David Suzuki called "The Power of Play" to see how powerful play REALLY is, and how damaging the lack of play can BE on your child's development.
If you don't have time to watch the full episode (which I feel you will want to watch it all), then make sure you watch from the 25 minute mark to the end.
This is a tentative list of basic information about our After School Program and is subject to change.
A more detailed list will be coming in the near future.
More details to come, this is just a basic guideline.

Contractor event rallies the troops; big questions still linger
Last week's FCI-organised event – for agricultural (and forestry) contractors – brought together a gathering from around the country; it was also attended by some members of the farm machinery trade.
It was part of an ongoing drive by the FCI to build its profile and provide a forum for its members to meet, catch up and, most importantly, highlight issues it sees as being of most concern.
Alongside static exhibits – brands such as Claas, Cross Agricultural Engineering, JCB, JFC, JMC Parts, John Deere, Komatsu, Kongskilde, Mastek, Samco, Tanco, Valtra, Volvo CE and others were represented – there were numerous talks and presentations.
These were delivered in rooms dotted about the periphery of the venue.
Some talks were delivered by suppliers espousing the virtues of their products; others were given by bodies such as the HSA (Health and Safety Authority) or ESB Networks – where on-farm safety was the overriding theme.
Teagasc and FBD Insurance – the event's sponsor – were also on hand.
Long hours
Some contractors, who didn't want to be named, told AgriLand of concerns they have for their sector.
One (not pictured below) explained how the preponderance of what he described as 'farmer-contractors' made it difficult to charge a realistic rate.
He said that current rates mean contractors can't make a reasonable return, without having to work very long hours at certain times of the year.
Another told AgriLand that it's increasingly difficult to compete, on certain jobs, with the farmer's son phenomenon.
He noted that, in such cases, someone has access to tractors and/or machinery at what is effectively a subsidised rate. In fact, he said, they sometimes just needed to cover the cost of their diesel and their time – the rest was seen, albeit in error, as clear profit.
How, he asked, can a full-time contractor (with insurance and other necessary overheads) compete with that?
The retirement conundrum
Another contractor (again; not depicted in these pictures) was concerned about retirement and what, if anything, he might have to sell when the time came – and how he might provide for himself in later years.
He asked how, apart from the residual value of his machines (some most likely worn out by then), he could realise any value from his business – one that had been built up over several decades.
Unlike a shop, he asked, does any monetary value attach to a contracting enterprise's 'goodwill'?
Interestingly, AgriLand has come across a case whereby one retiring contractor has managed to 'sell' his silage-cutting business (not including the tractors or machinery, which were disposed of separately) to another younger protagonist.
The initial payment was made on the basis that most or nearly all of the older contractor's customers (upon retirement) migrate to the younger man (rather than simply go elsewhere).
Payments will continue to be made in future years, depending on whether or not the majority of the customer base sticks with the 'new' provider. So, there is a clear incentive for the older contractor to encourage – and continue to encourage – his former customers to embrace (and stick with) the plan.

What is Induced Employment?
This is a form of employment practice by which an employer, through inducement, deceit or influence persuades a job seeker to proceed beyond the boundaries of Zambia for work
What does the law say?
The law states that the use of inducement, deceit or influence to source employees to work in another country is an offence in terms of Zambian labour law. It says it is illegal and unlawful for any potential employer to induce any person to proceed abroad without a Contract of Foreign Service.
Can an employer be punished for inducing employment?
Yes, any person who induces or attempts to induce any other person to proceed beyond Zambia for the purpose of employment outside Zambia otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of the Employment Act, or any person who knowingly aids in the employment or transfer of any person so induced, shall be guilty of an offence and liable to a fine not exceeding four thousand penalty units or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year, or to both.
What to do if you are a victim of induced employment
Report the matter to the nearest Zambian high commission, embassy, consulate or police station. If you are not in possession of your personal identity documents like National Registration Card, passport, work permit, travel document or Contract of Foreign Service, report yourself to local authorities within the country of your presence or the nearest International Organisation for Migration (IOM).

Excitement over the idea of dementia villages has been bubbling in the aged care sector over the past several years. Pioneered overseas in countries like the Netherlands, these care facilities resemble small contained towns, complete with amenities like cafés, beauty salons, theatres and supermarkets that residents are free to visit as they please. Now, plans have been unveiled for the Tasmanian suburb of Glenorchy to be home to one such village.
Not-for-profit aged care provider Glenview will transform an unused site in Glenorchy into a facility based on a cul de sac streetscape. Glenview chief executive Lucy O'Flaherty said the Korongee village concept draws on a range of international best practice models, particularly the dementia village of De Hogeweyk in the Netherlands, and added residents in these homes live longer, eat better and take fewer medications and Glenview hopes to see similar transformative health benefits at Korongee.
Korongee's 15 houses, each with six bedrooms, will be staffed by health professionals who dress casually and well be seen as home makers, charged with making the experience as true to home living as possible.
Residents within each house will be matched by their similar backgrounds, experiences, interests and skills. "A person who has worked as a tradesman all their life will most likely have a routine involving an early start and knocking off at 3pm. Alternatively, at the other end of the spectrum artists or creative folk who may rise later and have later evenings and weekends that are highly social – two lifestyles not necessarily conducive to each other," O'Flaherty said.
Glenview also intends to ensure residents will have more control over their routines or lack-thereof. They will be welcome to wake up and move about their day in their own time. "If they want to make themselves a piece of toast in the middle of the night, they can do that," O'Flaherty said.
The development of the Korongee village is a partnership between Glenview, HESTA, Social Ventures Australia (SVA) and the Commonwealth Government.
HESTA has invested $19 million to finance the village through its Social Impact Investment Trust, managed by SVA, which aims to invest in opportunities that deliver both an appropriate financial return and a measurable social impact.
Debby Blakey, chief executive of HESTA, said not only will the venture provide a world-class facility for the local community, it will benefit members by earning a return, and act as a pilot model for investing in aged care that could attract other big players to the space.
Blakey said: "We heard about the great work Glenview was doing and, because HESTA has a specific focus on identifying investment opportunities in our sector, we were able to explore how we could support this fantastic project."
Construction is planned to commence in early 2018, with the site to be complete by mid to late 2019.
