Recruiting and managing talent in Singapore can be very different compared to other countries. Employers, especially international companies in Singapore, may find some of the challenges of recruiting employees quite different compared to their own experience either back in their home country or other offices elsewhere. Recruiting talent has become one of the most challenging tasks that companies face when growing their businesses in Singapore, especially during and post COVID 19 pandemic.
One of the unique recruitment challenges in Singapore is perhaps the working language in Singapore, which is English, compared to all countries in this region except Hong Kong. Due to this factor and the fact that Singapore is a financial hub and regional headquarters of many companies, there is constant flow of international talent willing to relocate and work in Singapore. This makes it hard for employers to differentiate between local and international applicants when filling job vacancies in Singapore.
The easy availability of internet access and all types of job portals and recruitment platforms allow many international job seekers to apply for the various roles advertised by employers in Singapore. Typically for each vacancy of technical and professional jobs in Singapore, there can be up to 10 international applicants for each local applicant. Given this overwhelming ratio, it is no wonder that employers are often faced with the difficult choice of choosing between a local and foreign talent. There is no official government quota or restrictions in terms of how many foreign professional staff which an employer can hire in Singapore as long as the candidate meets the qualifying criteria. As a result, many employers tend to take the easy way of hiring foreign talent due to the abundant supply and sheer number of applicants coming from all over the world.
Where do employers tap into the talent market in Singapore?
The COVID 19 pandemic has exacerbated the shortage of local manpower in Singapore as foreigners face difficulties in getting work visas as well as border and travel restrictions.
Many employers have turned to hiring local talent as they can be deployed more quickly and there are no work pass issues associated with hiring local staff. The Singapore government has also provided generous hiring incentives such as job growth incentive for local employers to hire more local staff. The availability of work passes has also been reduced and tightened and it is no longer easy to obtain one for foreign employees here.
It would be a long wait if employers were to expect candidates, especially locals, to come knocking on their doors, and it would be a tedious task to go through all the job advertisement portals to look for suitable candidates.
Given the above scenarios, employers should consider consulting and working with a reliable and professional recruitment or employment agency in Singapore.

As much as I endorse paying handsome fees to outside speakers, I am proposing a dynamite training session on poverty that won't cost a dime. Here is all you have to do.
For one of your leadership team meetings this winter, don't allow staff to drive to the district office. Require everyone to take the metro bus to experience first-hand what their families living in poverty endure.
They might find that to arrive on time for the 10:00 meeting they have to leave their building at 8:30 and walk 10 minutes to the bus stop in below zero weather. Later they wait in the cold at the transfer station for another 15 minutes before boarding their next connection.
They arrive at 9:45 and welcome the 15-minute wait in the warmth of the conference room. The meeting is set to adjourn at noon, but if they don't leave at 11:50 a half-hour wait for the next bus looms. So, they depart 10 minutes early and miss your closing motivational talk.
This may sound like a hare-brained scheme, but I am guessing if you actually deploy this plan, your administrative team members may never again think that parents of kids living in poverty miss the PTA meeting or conferences because they don't care. The simple fact is, the buses don't run at night, or they're working their second job just to make ends meet. Parents living in poverty care very much and their hearts ache because they can't always be there for their kids.
The next time you leave the building in the winter and feel the sting of the January air as you walk to your reserved parking spot, imagine how impoverished people feel during their 20-minute walk to the bus stop at six in the morning to get to their minimum wage job.
If you actually take this journey into empathy, the impact will probably be more profound and have a longer lasting impact than the motivational speaker. Local media coverage would send a powerful, thought-provoking message to your entire community and would serve as an impactful public relations piece. Try it and see what happens.
I am guessing that your community would develop a deeper understanding of poverty and its impact on the lives of people from this more than from a motivational speaker. But if you still feel the need for a speaker, I am available.

#structure quotes
A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little nor too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity.
The beginning of wisdom for a programmer is to recognize the difference between getting his program to work and getting it right. A program which does not work is undoubtedly wrong; but a program which does work is not necessarily right. It may still be wrong because it is hard to understand; or because it is hard to maintain as the problem requirements change; or because its structure is different from the structure of the problem; or because we cannot be sure that it does indeed work

H1N1 Information & Guidelines
There is presently much speculation as to the impact that the H1N1 virus will have on Canadians over the next few months. Organizations have been urged to stress to their members steps that should be taken to prevent the spread of the virus, and to have plans in place to alleviate any hardships that may come of the spread of H1N1.
Hockey Canada and Hockey Manitoba have for many years had specific steps in place to reduce the spread of any infection in the hockey environment and we urge you to remind your teams of the following.
Team staff need to emphasize to players and parents the need for total cooperation in all aspects concerning hygiene, but specifically to the prevention of the transmission of the H1N1 virus. The following are recommended steps within the team environment:
1. Players should be urged to report all illnesses to their parents and the Safety Person/Trainer. Parents are urged to keep their children away from the hockey environment if they are showing any signs of infectious disease or virus. Sick players are encouraged to see their physician if showing signs or symptoms of the H1N1 virus, and to be fully recovered prior to returning to play.
2. Players should be encouraged to wash hands routinely and always after handling hockey equipment. Frequent hand washing with soap and water is one of the best preventions we can recommend. Teams are encouraged to carry extra hand soap or hand sanitizer as not all arenas have this readily available.
3. Talk to your players about covering their mouths and nose when coughing or sneezing using their arm as opposed to their hands.
4. Advise players to try and not touch their own mouths or nose when in the hockey environment to reduce the chance of them passing an infection on to themselves.
5. Ensure all players and staff has their own water bottles labeled with names and players numbers.Sport drink bottles should be avoided as direct lip contact is possible when drinking.
6. Officials and coaches should avoid drinking from other players water bottles and have water readily available to them on their perspective benches.
7. Towels should be removed from all benches. Players should not share towels, clothing, bar soap or other personal items such as razors.
8. Assist athletes in protecting their immune system by stressing they get sufficient sleep, that they do not over train and that they get proper nutrition.
9. Numerous enquiries with respect to hand shaking following hockey games and the spread of the H1N1 virus have been posed.Although the spread of germs can be done in many forms, and simply keeping hockey gloves on or not shaking hands doesn't in itself eliminate the spread, it is entirely up to your associations, leagues or teams as to what you dictate around post-game hand shakes. If your organization decides to identify other options to replace handshaking we would recommend asking players to keep gloves on when shaking hands, to line up on the blue lines and salute each other, or to have players simply skate by and nod to each other in the line. Keep in mind we still stress that promoting preventative guidelines is the most important.
Additional information regarding the H1N1 virus can be found on the Health Canada website www.hc-sc.gc.ca/index-eng.php or Province of Manitoba website www.gov.mb.ca/flu/index.html.
Thank you for your cooperation.

The technology sector can become the new mainstay of the Cypriot economy and offer high level career opportunities to our country's youth. These are some of the key conclusions that emerged from the findings of a survey conducted last October by IMR/University of Nicosia™ on behalf of the non-profit organisation TechIsland.
The purpose of the survey was to explore the citizens' views and perceptions regarding the impact of the sector on Cyprus' economy compared to other sectors, the prospect of Cyprus becoming a technological hub and the impact this would have on the economy and the young people of our country. The survey is also an important tool for understanding how citizens view the technology sector and what direction they believe should be taken to strengthen it and, by extension, strengthen the Cypriot economy.
The survey's findings indicate that the economy is the major problem citizens are facing today and also that citizens generally agree that the Cypriot economy should not be solely based on the traditional sectors of activity and that there is a need to expand the sectors on which our country's economic model is based. In particular, the technology, health and education sectors are at the top of people's list of priorities, ahead of traditional sectors such as tourism, financial services and real estate and this could well be the first time this has occurred.
As reflected in the survey, the overwhelming majority of respondents believe that Cyprus is able to attract international high-tech companies and the talented human resources required by the sector. Moreover, they are in favour of expanding the incentive framework of attracting them to Cyprus.
Investing in new sectors and decoupling from traditional sectors of economic activity
Investment in new sectors of economic activity and disassociating the Cypriot economy from traditional sectors is one of the major conclusions that clearly emerge from the survey results. When asked how necessary it is to expand the sectors on which our country's economic model is based, 84% of respondents answered quite or very necessary, thus confirming the need to disassociate the economy from traditional sectors and invest in new ones.
Respondents' answers were also along the same lines regarding the areas we need to focus on to promote the development of our economy. More specifically, in response to the question "Which sectors do you believe we should invest in as a country now, in order for our economy to grow?", respondents placed Technology, Education and Health in the top three positions, with each percentage reaching or exceeding 60%.
This result can be considered surprising, as the rates recorded for these three sectors were higher than those for the traditional sectors of economic activity including tourism, financial services and real estate, despite the long-established perception that the latter are the main pillars supporting the development of the local economy. According to the results of the survey, the three traditional sectors were at relatively low levels, with rates of 55%, 32% and 19% respectively.
The sector's impact on the economy is positive and the outlook regarding its potential is very optimistic
Regarding the sector's impact on the economy, the survey indicated that feelings are positive about its present and future potential. According to the results of the survey, the vast majority of citizens believe that the transformation of Cyprus into a technology hub will have a positive impact on the economy, transforming the sector into a key pillar of economic growth.
When asked "What impact do you think the technology/ICT sector has on the country's economy today?", 76% of respondents answered that it has a considerable or adequate impact, while the results expressed in regard to the future impact that the sector may have on the country's economy, if and when Cyprus becomes a base for high-tech companies, were impressive as the percentage of positive responses reached 86%.
When asked whether the sector can become the main pillar of our country's economic development in the coming years, citizens responded along the same lines, with 82% answering positively, thus confirming the positive perception that prevails regarding the positive economic effects of the sector and its strong prospects.
An attractive sector, especially for young people, that is able to offer professional opportunities
The research also indicated that the sector is especially attractive to young people, as are the professional opportunities it can offer. When asked "To what extent would you say the technology sector can present an opportunity for a successful career for young people?", 93% and 95% of respondents respectively, answered positively, highlighting the perception of citizens as to the positive impact that the sector can have on the labour market and the local economy in general. It is also noteworthy that the sector's attractiveness index in the under-25 age group reaches 81%, outperforming any other sector in this age group.
Attracting companies and talent if and when we offer incentives
Finally, the results of the survey prove that Cypriots believe that the country can attract high-tech companies and talented human resources if and when the government takes additional measures towards this direction, since more needs to be done.
Specifically, when asked whether the steps and actions that have been taken by the state to strengthen the high-tech sector so far are in the right or wrong direction, 51% answered that they are in the wrong direction, while when asked whether the government should take additional measures to strengthen the sector, the vast majority of 95% answered in the affirmative, sending a strong message about the need to invest in the technology sector.
At the same time, it is noteworthy that 71% and 79% of the respondents answered with confidence that Cyprus can attract foreign high-tech companies and talent from this field, stating that facilitating settlement and employment, providing tax incentives and improving licensing procedures were the main areas to focus on.

Setting aside the new wavey rock approach of his former bands (the Nerves and the Plimsouls, which returned for a spell in the '90s), Buffalo-born singer/songwriter Peter Case stepped into the role of literate troubadour in the mid-'80s; baggy suit, fedora and all. Downplaying the Plimsouls' frantic guitar jangle in favor of lean, diverse arrangements, Case and co-producers T-Bone Burnett and Mitchell Froom focus squarely on the material (some of it co-written by Burnett) and Case's soul-on-fire vocals. The barbed Americana of Case's best songs — "I Shook His Hand," "Steel Strings" (later recorded by Marshall Crenshaw), "Old Blue Car" — points to greatness around the corner. However, other tunes (the contrived "Small Town Spree," arranged by Van Dyke Parks, the sub-Mellencamp "Horse & Crow") demonstrate the need for a good editor. Peter Case closes with a good cover of the Pogues' "Pair of Brown Eyes," with Roger McGuinn on guitar.
The Man With the Blue Postmodern Fragmented Neo- Traditionalist Guitar fulfills much of the debut's promise. The songwriting is more fluent and self-assured. So is his singing; with contributions from David Lindley, Jim Keltner and Los Lobos' David Hidalgo, the musical settings are more varied. Case delivers some startlingly precise character studies ("Poor Old Tom," "Travellin' Light"), stark emotional dramas ("Put Down the Gun," "Two Angels") and sharply observed sense-of-place vignettes ("This Town's a Riot," "Entella Hotel"). Perhaps most notable, though, is the born-again artist's new-found deftness at bridging spiritual and secular concerns, which he does effectively on "Hidden Love."
Case got back to rocking on Six-Pack of Love, a gritty pop record on which he plays a lot of piano, displays a John Lennon-ish voice and circles around the threat of romance as warily as an alley cat coming across a dead body. Co-producing with Froom and co-writing with such offbeat elders as John Prine, Billy Swan and Tonio K, Case extricates himself and his beat-up feelings from the frustration of "Vanishing Act" and the threat of "Never Comin' Home" to find the dubious optimism of "Why Don't We Give It a Go?" ("Let's light it up and see if it blows") and the defiant willfulness of "It Don't Matter What People Say." Nicely balanced between articulate expression and evocative emotionalism, the energetic album paints Case into a corner (he doesn't seem to have given much thought to what would happen if it does blow), letting him writhe happily while pondering the romantic apocalypse.
Dropping out of the major-label world, Case picked up his acoustic guitar and harmonica and slung out Sings Like Hell, a stark and stirring album of blues oldies he wears like a cracked pair of old shoes. Getting only minor assists from producer Marvin Etzioni on mandolin and several other musicians (but playing his own barrelhouse piano on "Down in the Alley" and "Well Run Dry"), Case sheds his modern rock'n'roll baggage, drops his defenses and lets it howl, finding himself in the strength of strings. Digging deep and passionate one-take burrows into the fertile mud of folksongs like "Rovin' Gambler," "Matchbox Blues," "Rose Conolly" and "Lakes of Ponchartrain," Case repeats the feat of Dylan's World Gone Wrong and Good As I Been to You, using old patterns to shape an intensely moving original work. A gem.
Returning to his own compositions with a band and full studio production on the rich and rewarding Torn Again, Case emerges as an itinerant folkie cousin of John Hiatt and Nick Lowe, strumming an old hollow-body and singing working-class stories that drift around the fringes of America. Case's characters hang out in bars, drink in cars, steal airplanes, run afoul of the law and catch love when they can. "Workin' for the Enemy," "Turnin' Blue" and "Wilderness" sketch out unhappy tales with telling detail; the singer's own lyrical role, when he has one, is strictly as victim. "Anything that you love will bring you to your knees," he swears; "I thought I had you but you had me." More painful than love's wounds, however, "Baltimore" finds him beaten in the street with a shovel. Although he promises "A Little Wind (Could Blow Me Away)" in a number co-written with Tom Russell, Case sounds a lot sturdier and steadier than that.

Houston, TX – Gerard "Jordy" Tollett's run as president of the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau will come to a gradual end this year. Tollett announced on December 29 that he would not re-apply for the position he held since 1998 but would segue into a new role as a consultant for the bureau in 2007 while looking at other potential opportunities.
The GHCVB voted in November to conduct a search for a possible replacement for the successful but often controversial Tollet, whose contract expires in February. Tollett was invited to apply for another stint with the bureau and had originally planned to do so. However, he decided on the final days of the year to look at other options. A search committee was formed last fall to review candidates for the job.
Tollett, 54, began his career with the city of Houston and its exhibition industry as a teenager and wound up working under four different mayors. In 1981, he was named director for the city Convention and Entertainment Facilities Dept.
During his career, Tollett forged relationships with Houston movers and shakers as well as a large number of trade show and convention organizers. The gregarious salesman for the city said his contacts among organizers and meeting planners would make him a valuable asset as a consultant.
Meanwhile, the GHCVB operations will be run by Board Chairman Doug Horn and Chairman Emeritus Don Henderson.
Reach Jordy Tollett at (713) 437-5202 or email@example.com.

If you grew up in San Antonio and went to public school then you know exactly what the middle of the week meant. We pay tribute to the mid-week meal everyone remembers with the Enchilada Wednesday Fiesta Medal by Dave Evans!
Complete with two cheese enchiladas, rice, beans, salad and a carton of milk, we even dangled a little chocolate cake charm (and don't even charge the 35 cents extra that they did at the cafeteria for it!). This Enchilada Wednesday brings back all the feelings.
Through 2020, one dollar from every sale was donated to YMCA Youth and Government team—in the past, the money went to Sam Houston High School where Dave was a volunteer coach. But in 2019, the program lost it's city funding so the dollar donation is going to the organization at large.

Travis Scott is Joining Forces with 'Fortnite' for 'Astronomic' Event
Rapper Travis Scott is headed to 'Fortnite' as he brings a new event called 'Astronomic' to the game, complete with a brand new track.
Rapper Travis Scott is bringing the realm of his best-selling album "Astroworld" to the confines of Fortnite with a new collaboration with Epic Games. The game developer officially revealed today that its next in-game Fortnite concert will be headlined by none other than the "Sicko World" rapper, and it'll be live within Fortnite on several dates throughout the rest of the week. Forget stargazing, you're going to want to look at your screen to see what all Travis is bringing with his event.
Travis will be coming to Fortnite with his own miniature in-game "Astronomical" event, which has been described by Epic Games as "an other-worldly experience inspired by Cactus Jack's creations, built from the ground up in Fortnite." Basically, if you love Travis and want to hear new music from him, you're going to want to park it in-game for one of his "tour dates" coming up very soon for this virtual tour. When can you check it out? We've got everything you need to know right here.
When can you see Travis Scott's "Astronomical" event in 'Fortnite'?
Unlike most of Fortnite's previous one-time-only shows (like the first Marshmello concert), Travis Scott's "Astronomical" will get a special virtual concert tour. It will take place across several days beginning on April 23. Here's the full schedule.
- April 23rd; The Americas, 7 p.m. ET
- April 24th: EU & ME, 10 a.m. ET
- April 25th: Asia & Oceania, 12 a.m. ET
- April 25th: EU & ME, 11 a.m. ET
- April 25th: The Americas, 6 p.m. ET
If you head in-game and check out one of the showtimes, you'll get a new Travis Scott skin as part of the festivities, along with a variety of new emotes and other in-game items. An exclusive glider as well as additional loading screens will be up for grabs for attendees, too. Starting on April 21 (Tuesday), a new series of "Astronomical" challenges will be loaded in for even more goodies.
As far as when you'll hear Travis's new song during the event, that isn't clear just yet. It will likely premiere during one of the slots, likely toward the end, giving players a chance to see what the rapper has put together before visitors potentially log off. It's been since 2018 that Scott released his critically-acclaimed album "Astroworld", so it's about time for a few new tracks from him. Having them debut in Fortnite is a pretty big deal, too.
If you're a music fan or just like to see how creative developers can be when it comes to fun in-game events, you'll definitely want to pop online and see what "Astronomical" looks like. Judging by the brief glimpses we've seen thus far, it looks like we're in for some surreal skins and items as well as some very unique visuals. Travis has been known for the psychedelic influences on his music, so we'll probably see it reflected in his art as well. It's definitely going to be a one-of-a-kind show.

Christoph Schneider. Der Warschauer Kniefall: Ritual, Ereignis und Erzählung. Konstanz: Universitätsverlag Konstanz - UVK, 2006. 331 S. EUR 34.00 (paper), ISBN 978-3-89669-600-7.
Reviewed by Annika Frieberg (Department of History, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill)
Published on H-German (February, 2008)
A German Media Event
Christoph Schneider's Der Warschauer Kniefall examines the moment in 1970 when Willy Brandt, who was in Warsaw to sign the Polish-West German bilateral agreement, unexpectedly genuflected in front of the Warsaw Ghetto Monument. Brandt visited the site in order to place a wreath and honor the victims whom it represented. Schneider uses a sociological-anthropological approach and what he, drawing on Clifford Geertz, calls a "thick theoretical net" of interpretation to investigate why and how the gesture was transformed culturally into a German national symbol. Despite Schneider's interesting analytic approach, in comparison to some other studies, Schneider's perspective ends up being rather narrow.
The book's analysis focuses on performativity of the gesture as a political ritual, and its subsequent integration into a larger narrative by the West German media, one symbolizing national change. As source material, Schneider uses two collections of articles that appeared in the German press, one from 1970 and a second from 2000. His theoretical frameworks include theory of symbols, rituals, narration, and collective memory. Schneider argues that Brandt's gesture can be understood through the theory on rituals in the sense of connecting the ordinary with the sacred, and that part of the gesture's and Brandt's national importance emerges from this elevation of this moment into something extraordinary. He also suggests that the genuflection functions as a passage according to theories about liminality, the transfer phase between two ritualistic ordering principles discussed by Victor Turner, in that the act broke with existing political ritual and the protocol of the state visit, and provided a passage to different rituals and protocol.
In framing the media coverage of the genuflection, Schneider relies on Hayden White's discussions of narrativity and the way in which events are organized through narrative structures. He also makes the larger point that narratives not only organize events but also construct national identity, and the way in which humans understand their place in the world. The West German media used narrative techniques to interpret and reinsert the break with protocol that the genuflection constituted back into the social order. Schneider's discussion of the genuflection suggests that descriptions of mood that focus on the cold, dark Warsaw December and the turn toward hope and warmth following the unexpected gesture are allusions to the Cold War context. Also, in the narrative, according to Schneider, the media used religious frameworks to grant the moment its significance.
Correctly, Schneider emphasizes the absence, silence, and passivity of the Jewish victims in the interpretations of the genuflection between 1970 and 2000. The absence of a Jewish audience, and thus the suppression of that audience's agency, meant that the reception of the genuflection and action of forgiveness was omitted from the moment. That active forgiveness did not follow, however, was of less importance, since the ritualistic penitence seemed to imply that a larger general forgiveness followed. Schneider compares the articles that appeared in 1970 and 2000 to illustrate the change in German collective identity through media perceptions of the genuflection. An important conclusion of the book is the claim that the genuflection marked a shift in German national identity into a "trauma identity," with a corresponding awareness of Germans as the perpetrators in the Holocaust.
Schneider's book illustrates the potentially hermeneutic quality of German Vergangenheitsbewältigung and media interpretations of the genuflection. As Schneider rightly points out, the German media immediately set the parameters for discussion of the gesture within a German social, national, and cultural context. Jewish victims of the Holocaust were imagined as silent and passive actors in the drama of being asked for forgiveness.
Despite his awareness of this absent audience, however, Schneider's lack of attention to the international context of national identity constructions in postwar Germany, and to the communicative aspects of performative political rituals to international audiences (particularly the Polish one), is questionable. The book does not discuss Polish Christians as recipients of Brandt's performative message. The Poles, who were the immediate audience of the gesture and target of Brandt's larger visit to Warsaw, are a silent and passive presence not only in Schneider's sources, but in his larger analysis as well. Consequently, important parts of national identity construction, such as German ambition toward reintegration into an international community, are entirely absent from his analysis.
In considering the gesture's importance for forward-looking constructions of postwar German national identity, it is important to remember that although Brandt's action may have been impulsive and, to the Polish audience's displeasure, primarily directed toward the Jewish people, the 1970 West German media coverage developed in the context of dialogue with Polish communist and non-communist actors. The performative aspects of West German state visits also had a longer history of attention to world opinion.[1] When, on the evening before signing the agreement in Warsaw, Willy Brandt stated on West German television that morality must become a force in politics, his words were directed to both German and international audiences.[2]
The inattention to the communicative aspects of the genuflection is partially a weakness of the subject-centered theoretical frameworks Schneider elects to apply. In constructing the genuflection as an event or a ritual, he omits any of the cultural and political intentionality of, and inspiration for, the gesture itself. The narrative construction suffers from the same weakness. While it is certainly useful to delve into the deeper layers of symbolic association, it does not explain whether the genuflection actively signaled a change in German national identity, or whether a change in German national identity inspired the genuflection.
One may compare Schneider's exclusive focus on the West German context of the genuflection with Michael Wolffsohn's and Thomas Brechenmacher's Denkmalssturz? Brandts Kniefall (2005), published in the same year as Schneider's book. A historical study, Denkmalsturz? concentrates on the international responses, or lack thereof, to the gesture. Wolffsohn and Brechenmacher confirm that the genuflection was largely a German national event and that Schneider is correct in considering the hermeneutical quality of its national media treatment. Still, the background that Wolffsohn and Brechenmacher provide underlines the narrowness of Schneider's analysis. Without attention to the communicative interpretation of the event within a larger international context, Schneider makes the curious nation-centeredness of Vergangenheitsbewältigung appear natural. Nevertheless, the careful attention to the experiences and emotions connected with the genuflection nationally, and to the media's way of granting significance to the genuflection, enables Der Warschauer Kniefall to make its own contribution to research on reconciliation, modern German history, and nationalism.[3]

[3]. Traditional reconciliation analyses have emphasized the genuflection as a key moment in Polish-German relations. Both Schneider's and Wolffsohn and Brechenmacher's research and analysis challenge this interpretation in that the genuflection is seen as neither primarily directed at the Polish nation nor emotionally interpreted within a Polish-German context. See, for example, William J. Long and Peter Brecke, War and Reconciliation: Reason and Emotion in Conflict Resolution (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2003), 96-100, for an interpretation of the genuflection as reconciliation within the Polish-German context.

Craig G Wants To Know Who Stole The Soul From Hip-Hop (Video)
With over three decades of rhyming under his belt, Queens, New York's Craig G has been able to witness Hip-Hop develop from a street sensation to mainstream global culture. In all of that time, the Juice Crew member has never been afraid to speak his mind when it comes to making sure that skills prevail right alongside the revenue. For his latest endeavor, Craig linked with Massachusetts producer/DJ Reel Drama to weigh in on Hip-Hop's handling, and where the art-form ought to go. The pair have previously collaborated. This time around Craig exposes the hidden agenda of some MCs and the executives that sign their checks by spitting credible lyrics over the Reel Drama champion boom-bap track.
Filmed in nearby Lowell last month by Myster DL, an abandoned bridge underpass filled with graffiti becomes the backdrop for "Who Stole The Soul." Premiering at Ambrosia For Heads, the visual focuses on the simplicity of matching Craig's verses with smooth and colorful transitions while Reel Drama picks through his crates. During the hook, Craig asks some very logical questions that may be hard to answer. When did the game lose control? Who stole the soul? He then answers by spitting, "I bet the record companies…they know."
The Juice Crew's Craig G Remembers The Early Days Of Hip-Hop From East To West (Video)
Craig starts by paying homage to his peers and influences: "I remember when Run-D.M.C., they spoke to me/ Hearing Public Enemy left so many quotes to read / X-Clan pointed me to the East, my brother / Tribe had the night on my mind like no other / Ice Cube also made me wanna kill Sam / While Jeru The Damaja pointed out the scams / Gang Starr was asking who'll take the weight/ De La Soul wrote a song about 'buhloone mindstates' / Goodie Mob told ya to get out and get something / OutKast had us pressing on that elevator button / Boogie Down Productions told us loves gonna get you / Scarface was rhyming about mental health issues / The Jungle Brothers made me wanna know about Africa / N.W.A. talked about cops harassing ya / I hear most Hip-Hop now, and get nothing / The music saved my soul because it used to have substance."
During the second verse, Craig continues his verbal essay: "Money's more important than art or longevity / Possessions come and go but respect last forever, G / But let me tell you what doesn't last a lifetime / Fame, so I suggest you stay in your right mind / Attention spans decreased, it's almost none / That's why these albums only have a three-month run / I hear a lot of Hip-Hop now, and get nothing / This music saved my soul because it used to have substance."
Diamond D Discusses The Diam Piece 2, Featuring Styles P, Xzibit, Elzhi & More
The respected freestyle and Battle MC uses the third verse to put all the practitioners of culture appropriation on blast. "Rap about guns and holsters / Testarossas / With nonsenses spilling out ya cup, get ya coasters / We got a different approach to lyrics and beef / Some don't like what they hear because their spirits are weak / But we represent strength without the steroid enhancements / Possibly thinking about advancing with proper planning."
Craig G has raised the bar of lyrical excellence since the mid-1980s. He wants the culture to do the same, throughout the ages. Previously, Reel Drama has worked with REKS, Tragedy Khadafi, Big Shug, and others.

An open & digital public administration.
The public sector and its governance are shifting away from a closed, in-person model, with a clear trend toward opening up to citizens and improving multi-channel accessibility.
For governments to be successful in their digital transformation, they must first apply changes on the internal level, implementing a process to guarantee that the group affected by the transformation (whether organizational, cultural, technological, regulatory, operational or procedural) has the information, training and motivation necessary to seamlessly transition to the new paradigm of organization and management.
Digital citizens are asking governments for an omni-channel relationship model (in-person, online, mobile, social media, etc.) that is consistent, agile and easy to use. Likewise, laws 39/2015 and 40/2015 establish a set of obligations that are decisively pushing the Spanish government toward an environment in which the digital transformation is as an essential catalyst.
In this context, it is vital to have a thorough understanding of standards, processes and technologies related to the following aspects of government:
Transversal solutions for digital government, from electronic offices (where citizens can submit paperwork, pay fees and taxes, receive notifications and check records) to back-office, including data intermediation and the signing and filing of electronic documents.
Procurement and Tenders
Solutions that cover the entire electronic public procurement cycle, from preparing specifications and conducting the tender and awarding process to executing the contract. This includes tracking, incident management and control of non-conformances, involving transparent and flexible compliance with the regulatory framework.
In a model where citizens' information is often already at the disposal of other government bodies, it's essential to have mechanisms that allow different administrations to coordinate with one another.
Governments must comply with Spain's National Interoperability Framework, which increases operational efficiency and quality through information exchange.
Grants and Subsidies
The possibility of offering citizens solutions that are specifically adapted to the processing of grants and subsidies is highly important, from the creation of calls for funding to their justification, execution, monitoring and completion.
Citizens want governments to be more open and closer to the people they represent. Law 19/2013—which addresses transparency, access to public information and good governance—is a significant step in this direction, but it's not enough to meet the demands of citizens, who are calling for specific spaces to participate in public matters with personal and rigorous accountability procedures.
ICT provides a toolset that enables an unprecedented degree of interaction between citizens and public administration, and must be used to promote a clear strategy of open government.
Transparency and Good Governance
Implementation of solutions that inform citizens and legitimize government actions. The goal is to be capable of bringing information to citizens in a personal, clear, segmented and simple way, aligned with the government's specific objectives.
Citizen Participation
To properly manage citizen participation, the government must focus on developing a strategy that includes general technological solutions (participatory portal) as well as specific ones (urban advocacy, participatory plenary sessions, surveys, citizen innovation), complemented by different methodologies (participatory events, initiatives for co-creating public services, etc.).
All of this must be backed up by an in-depth analysis of diverse data sources, including those of the government (open data, social media, etc.), in order to generate an integrated global process that enables the improvement of government services and public policies.
Open Data
Governments need solutions that allow them to be smart when opening up their data. They must align the data they offer with citizens' real needs, and utilize accessible and reusable means and formats that have economic and social potential.
ICT provides a toolset that enables an unprecedented degree of interaction between citizens and public administration.
The public sector must draw support from the opportunities offered by the latest technologies, and make a clear effort in terms of digital innovation policies. Improving the sector's efficiency and the services that it provides to citizens means giving technology a leading role in its strategies.

Technology makes it easy to obtain a complete view of citizens—including their activities, roles, interests and relationships—and to use this profile both individually and collectively in order to increase the personalization, quality and satisfaction rate of public services.
The challenge is to put together pieces of information that are relevant for a certain citizen in a given transaction, and to use this information to improve that citizen's service and UX.
Digital Presence
Governments' online presence is an asset that must be cared for, nurtured and protected.
Digital presence (the internet, social media, apps) must be controlled by defining clear use and management policies for these elements, using technological tools that enable active listening in order to project an image that's consistent with strategic objectives.
Robotics and Automation
Artificial intelligence-based solutions for process automation will allow governments to systematize tasks, significantly improve operational efficiency, promote quality control in administrative procedures and facilitate transparency.
Artificial Intelligence
For example, governments can use artificial intelligence to employ chatbots or virtual assistants that guide and assist citizens on their different digital channels; independent drones that carry out basic surveillance tasks; and IoT solutions to develop applications for smart cities.
The transformation that public administration is experiencing goes beyond the digital. The goal is to transition from a bureaucratic and bureaucratized entity—which citizens interact with only when necessary—to a personal, proactive, transparent and effective government (whether electronic or in-person), in which the quality of public service is always the top priority.
Digital ChangeManagement
We've applied our vision of change management by designing and building a solution that consists of a suite of services: training, endomarketing and communication, content creation and technological platforms.
These are combined in an integrative service for businesses that consistently, sustainably and efficiently coordinates change actions using a single timeline.
Map ofICT Skills
From a global perspective, governments must analyze and determine the ICT skills that are key for promoting employment and production capacity in a given country.
In order to cover market demand and update and define the various curricula, it's crucial to create a skills map and to identify citizens' educational needs.
In this context, creating content in multiple formats becomes important in order to address new learning models (microlearning, mobility, gamification).
Data transactions are continuously being carried out on government platforms, and guaranteeing transparency, efficiency and security is an essential requirement. Because of this, blockchain technology is becoming an indispensable ally when it comes to creating an open, secure and transparent ecosystem, with multiple advantages for both governments and citizens.
- Reduction of processing times.
- Optimization of processes and costs.
- Integration between governments.
- Drastic increase in security.
- Increased flexibility in processes.
- Regulatory compliance.
- Contract management.
- Voting systems.
- Citizen participation.
- Financial transactions.
- Management of identities and assets.
- Borderless services.
- Records of properties and patents.
- Intellectual property rights.
The ultimate goal of government should be to shape cities based on the pillars of sustainability, efficiency and technological innovation. Smart cities are multidimensional and multifaceted regions in terms of key areas (transportation, energy, education, health, waste management, surveillance, the economy, etc.) and the development and use of technologies.
To achieve this status, cities need to profoundly analyze their capacities, needs and true potential. Only by doing this can they properly align technology with their real capacities and public services models, in addition to defining an economic and technological model that is operationally sustainable over the long term.
These regions usually implement the most innovative technologies (IoT, VR/AR, Big Data, Blockchain, Cloud, Wearables, drones, etc.) in addition to traditional ones (mobile, wireless, GIS, business intelligence, video IP, open data, etc.) in order to achieve objectives in a variety of areas, such as:
Management of traffic and fleets, public transportation and smart parking, driverless cars, etc.
Management of healthcare demands, digital clinical history, prevention and health alerts, etc.
Digital and technical training from government bodies, educational institutions, etc.
Cybersecurity, protection of cultural heritage, smart surveillance, emergency response, etc.

I've been compiling a list of pitfalls that I've observed, experienced, and researched. Here are the top ten that I've found. These have been inspired by various experts, practitioners, colleagues, and my own students.
Ops in NYC experiential course featured in the New York Post
Excerpt from The New York Post — "'New York City is one of the most amazing cities in the world. It makes sense to learn about the dynamics of operations management in the context of real businesses,' says Kristen Sosulski,
Cities as classroom
I design courses for real-world learning. I seek to connect students with business professionals at their place of work. I've have designed two unique courses for MBA students: Operations in NYC and Operations in Panama. In these courses, New York City and Panama City
Experiential learning
Experiential learning involves the balance of concrete experiences, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation (Kolb, 1984). I believe that learning best happens when students are engaging in active engagement with the course content. Kinesthetic learning activities are an important component
It's no longer about online, it's about out of the classroom
Here's a terrific post by one of my students on the NYU Stern Ops in NYC course. In this course, we have no classroom. The city is our classroom. http://blogs.stern.nyu.edu/full-time-mba/full-time-mba/the-city-as-the-classroom
Authentic learning through authentic practice
Real world feedback is the most authentic type of feedback that students can receive. In my Electronic Communities course students work with the founders of real-world startups. Many of these startups were featured on Shark Tank, a television series. Examples
Smart student presentations
Presentations and visualizations go hand in hand. Here's an article on designing smart student presentations for teaching and learning: http://learning.instructure.com/2012/12/smart-student-presentations/
Are you flipping yet?
Many faculty are flipping our classrooms. In other words, we're delivering our lectures online and students are working on activities and problems in the classroom. This educational model reserves class time for student centered activities. At NYU Stern we are
How people learn
How people learn [1]. People learn in different ways. However, the lecture teaching-format has favored specific types of learners. Specifically, those that learn from listening and speaking. For the rest of us, the lecture format is a far less optimal

Can I set up a fixed aim point to use in the Garmin XERO X1i in the event the shot happens quickly and there is not enough time to range?
Yes you can. With the speed of most crossbows, we recommend creating a single 25 yard aim point. This will cover shots from 20 to 30 yards. To do this, go to Profiles > Active Profile > Aim Points. You will see a list of calibrated ranges and fixed aim points. Select the "+" sign to add a fixed aim point, with distance and color of your choosing. Once back on the HUNT screen, a simple tap of the range button or wired trigger will toggle you between the ranged aim point and the fixed aim point.

on 30 May 2022
Combining a further expansion of the typically generous deck space of a catamaran and a well-finished interior, Asia's first Fountaine Pajot MY6 has made two families very content
Compared to the previous release from Fountaine Pajot's new-look power cat range – the MY5 – the 13.4-metre MY6, which made its Asia premiere in Hong Kong in March, has further honed both aesthetic and utilitarian elements. The exterior, co-created by French naval architect and designer Daniel Andrieu and Italian yacht and automotive designer Pierangelo Andreani, is a combination of sporty lines-meets-traditional motor-cat angular edges of the hulls that add to stability and help maximise interior space.
There are more premium touches on the MY6 (formerly known as the MY44) that appear immediately on boarding: the full-beam hydraulic swim platform is very deep and stretches all the way across the 6.6m full beam; a few steps up from there into the cockpit, views flow into the open 20sqm saloon, with its large panoramic windows, is furnished in a variety of earthy- and neutral-toned luxe finishes – from deep pile carpet to leatherette sofa fabric and matte-lacquered open-grained wood veneer.
Saloon tables fold out easily for when larger numbers are in the lounge/dining area. The yacht's galley is at the aft of the saloon, to starboard, a spacious open area – containing an oven, stovetop, microwave, plenty of storage and counter space, plus a large fridge-freezer – is handy for both indoor and cockpit access, particularly when doors are slid open for the latter.
Generously wide side decks lead to the bow, where just forward of the windshield, sun pads that transform into reclining loungers can be fitted with removable tabletops.
The owners of this hull were particularly impressed with the layout and division of cabins
On the flybridge, a flexible sitting/lounging area has replaced what was previously fixed sofa seating, sociably adjacent to the relaxed-but-rigid upper two-seat helm station. More engagement with self-drive owners is on-trend for motoryacht cruisers and might be well appreciated in the case of this particular boat. This MY6 has shared owners – two families of close friends, spanning a few generations, enjoy the larger dimensions, and elevated finishing of their previous power and sailing catamarans. They are scheduled to take delivery by early May and are happily anticipating being able to use the boat through Hong Kong's summer season. The flybridge is also home to a wet bar with a refrigerator and a basin – a grill station can be added as an option.
And with the MY6 flybridge dining table and seating around it being more generously proportioned than on the previous MY44 model, and the multiple adjustable configuration possibilities of the lounging area by the helm station, owners and guests have a prime relaxation area up top. The hardtop roof has a large retractable panel at the helm and lounging area that can bring sunshine into the upper deck or keep it shaded at the flick of a switch (or manually).
"Other catamaran users who viewed this boat have said they find this flybridge set-up very attractive and relaxed for when they may have family or a group of friends on board," says Kelly Yeung from Asia Yachting, the Hong Kong Fountaine Pajot exclusive dealership that also distributes the French brand exclusively in the Philippines; it is also a dealer in other parts of Southeast Asia. "And people who like catamarans usually like the open areas to be flexible and not so formal."
The helm's controls and display panels are cleanly laid out, and the chance to switch from thruster to joystick control proved to be very useful for manoeuvring around a tightly spaced berthing area on our visit.
Back indoors, the headroom in all areas is generous – particularly so in the saloon, the cabins in the lower decks in the two hulls and also in an enclosed area forward, between both hulls, accessed by a short staircase to the left of the saloon helm station, that's more formal-looking than the one on the flybridge. The multi-purpose room can be used for storage, as a study or, as in the case of this hull, Asia's debut, it makes a comfortable additional cabin for passengers or crew.
The lower helm – with its more rigid twin seats – also has thruster and joystick controls. Cruising is around 20 knots, going up to a maximum of about 28 knots from the diesel-fuelled twin Volvo Penta D6-IPS 650 engines, accessed via a hatch in the deck of the cockpit.
Speaking of cabins, the master and two guest accommodations are housed in separate hulls, each with its own access. The master's stairwell, to port, opposite the galley, leads to a corridor – which gives a sense of privacy – and the ensuite cabin size is spacious. In the starboard hull lower deck, two VIP cabins are also well-proportioned, and equally stylishly furnished and lit.
Indoors, the headroom in all areas is generous – particularly so in the saloon, the cabins in the lower decks in the two hulls
The owners of this hull were particularly impressed with the layout and division of cabins in the new MY5, which they inspected – and the renderings of the more generously-proportioned MY6. And they took the standard configuration – which for Hong Kong includes the 'tropical'-strength air-conditioning and comes with Bose audio system and flat TV screen housed at the inner end of the galley. The engines selected were upgrades to IPS 650s, with the 500 model being standard.
As with all Fountaine Pajot yachts, there is an international warranty for two years, and Asia Yachting additionally arranged a maintenance package.
With the generous spacing across decks, comfort and ease of handling, this catamaran should be making its shared owners happy this summer and beyond.
