Cambodia's garment sector employs 700,000 people, of whom 80-85% are women. A vast majority migrate from their home provinces for employment and send up to 40% of their incomes in remittances home. Almost one third of foreign direct investment is channelled into the garment sector which makes up 80% of Cambodia's exports. The availability of work for women in the garment sector is giving more women opportunities to gain economic resources. It is also changing the social fabric of Cambodia, with so many migrating to take up these jobs.
There is no denying that the garment industry in Cambodia is a huge economic driver and has played a role in poverty reduction. This makes the sector's growth and regulation a sensitive subject for government policy, yet this industry is built on the manual labour of young women, who have rights to decent and dignified work.
Inequality, discrimination, and harassment
Women's dominance and economic engagement in the garment workforce is marred by a lack of protections and pervasive gender inequality. Exposure to sexual harassment is one such inequality.
While there have been significant gains in terms of increases to the minimum wage in recent years, women reported making USD 145/month compared to USD 161 for male workers. Although they make up 85% of the garment workforce, women take up less than 4% of line leader or office roles. And while the majority of workers in the industry are women, sexual harassment is a regular and daily risk that can create substantial restrictions in women's day-to-day lives. Sexual harassment is poorly understood, culturally engrained and experienced by nearly one in three female Cambodian garment factory employees in Cambodia.
Women practice multiple coping strategies to manage sexual harassment, both in and out of the workplace. These can include:
- Retorting to insults;
- Skin thickening - enduring harassment;
- Story-telling to protect other women;
- Becoming invisible – being silent, not bringing attention to oneself, wearing clothes that don't stand out;
- Being critical of women;
- Victim blaming;
- Ostracising perpetrator as a group defence mechanism;
- Missing days from work;
- Moving jobs within the factory;
- Moving to another factory;
- Dropping out of garment industry;
- Expecting something to happen - being vigilant and defensive;
- Limited or no social life;
- Shouting for help;
- Walking in groups;
- Walking quickly or running to factory bus stop;
- Not answering door at night;
- Never leaving room at night – even in the case of medical emergency;
- Sensitivity and awareness of surroundings when leaving factory during night shifts;
- Being friendly in order to create familiarity.
New research on the Cambodian garment industry
In line with the Dignified Work strand of CARE's Women's Economic Empowerment Strategy, CARE International commissioned an industry-wide representative study to examine the prevalence and productivity cost of sexual harassment of workers to the Cambodian garment industry, entitled 'I know I cannot quit': The prevalence and productivity cost of sexual harassment to the Cambodian garment industry.
The study combined quantitative survey data from 1,287 workers across 52 factories, with 25 qualitative interviews and 9 focus groups conducted in a variety of different living and working environments. 28.6% of women reported experiencing sexual harassment in the workplace and 16.5% of women reported experiencing sexual harassment outside the factory.
With weak mechanisms for reporting and addressing sexual harassment, women have few options for their safety and to seek justice. And this mental stress of self-regulation takes a toll on the industry. CARE's research estimates the productivity cost of sexual harassment in the Cambodian garment industry at USD 89 million. Strengthening policy, its implementation, and complaints mechanisms and processes can support the industry to create a safer work environment and reduce the productivity loss caused by sexual harassment and violence.
CARE's response: A complete 'prevention package'
In the absence of government regulation or remedies for workplace harassment, employer solutions can fill the gap. CARE's multi-media Sexual Harassment Prevention Package for Garment Factories in Cambodia, which includes a short drama – 'Chanda's Story'– provides the tools for garment factories to stop sexual harassment.
This is not just a policy and not just training. The package is a culmination of years of work with garment factory HR Managers. Through CARE's two-day training on gender and sexual harassment to HR managers at garment factories, we learned that awareness and good intentions are not enough; there needs to be a factory-specific policy that sets out clear procedures to be followed in cases of harassment so that workers are protected.
Buy-in and support from the garment industry
To ensure buy-in and ownership from factories CARE worked with six factories consultatively, who developed and piloted this policy. This makes the policy uniquely suited to the situation of garment factories in Cambodia. Policies are pointless unless they are widely used!
Feedback from factories was that they needed extra assistance to educate workers about sexual harassment and convince them that there is a safe procedure they can use to report. The training toolkit, featuring 'Chanda's Story', allows factories to do just that.
By following Chanda's story, factory workers will be able to relate to and empathise with the experience of someone who has been harassed. The training not only demonstrates the procedures in the policy, it encourages workers to listen to and support each other, and take the message that "sexual harassment stops here" out into their communities.
CARE's Sexual Harassment Prevention Package for Garment Factories in Cambodia includes:
- CARE's standard Workplace Sexual Harassment Policy for Garment Factories in Cambodia
- An Implementation Guide for the workplace policy
- A Training Toolkit, 'Sexual Harassment Stops Here', which contains:
A training manual for conducting five workplace training sessions
A suite of training materials and resources
A DVD with films, including a four-part drama 'Chanda's Story, a karaoke video, and two education videos.
CARE Cambodia's work to address sexual harassment in Cambodia was financially supported by the UN Trust Fund to End Violence Against Women and the Australian Government.

PADI collaborates with DiveNav
Posted: Thu Oct 31, 2013 5:20 pm
PADI includes Advanced Computer Simulator with Open Water Diver Course
PADI collaborates with DiveNav to provide simulator for model-specific dive computers to student divers.
TUSTIN, CA – October 31, 2013 – The PADI organization and DiveNav have entered into an agreement to include access to DiveNav's advanced computer simulators for PADI Open Water Diver students learning with the computer option. Limited distribution of this new feature will be available as early as December 2013.
This agreement enables a student diver who enrolls in a select PADI Open Water Diver course with computer option the ability to obtain free access to DiveNav's divePAL Advanced and Nitrox dive computer simulators, as well as to one model-specific recreational computer simulator of the student's choice. Additionally, the student diver will receive substantial savings on select online classes for model-specific dive computers offered via DiveNav's online service DiveComputerTraining.com.
"PADI is excited about the partnership with DiveNav and this new benefit for PADI Members", says Bob Coleman, PADI Americas Vice-President of Sales and the Retailer and Resort Association. "With this agreement, PADI and DiveNav are taking dive computer education to the next level by giving open water student divers the opportunity to learn how to use their model-specific dive computers long before entering the water.
DiveNav's divePAL is a multiplatform application that allows divers to plan, log and analyze their dives. The intuitive graphical interface makes it easy for a diver to input a dive profile, analyze it, and view the trends and relationships between depth, time, nitrogen loading and tank pressure. The generic and model specific computer simulators enhance the learning experience for student divers and help student's familiarize themselves with different brands. DiveNav's implementation of the Buhlmann ZH-L16C algorithm (with adjustable conservatism) in real time and supports the most typical dive screens, such as: surface, normal diving, entering decompression mode, decompression stop, decompression ceiling violation, high PO2, oxygen toxicity, fast ascent alarm and post dive mode.
"We are extremely pleased to collaborate with PADI on this project," says Alberto Mantovani, President and CEO of DiveNav. "PADI recognizes the popularity of dive computers and specialized computer simulators are valuable additions to dive computer training."
DiveNav's divePAL is currently available for Windows, iPad, iPhone and Android devices, with a version for Mac expected by the end of the year.

Government's Urban Growth Agenda tackles the key issues holding back
development in New Zealand and warrants support across the political spectrum,"
says Stephen Selwood CEO of Infrastructure New Zealand.
At the Infrastructure
New Zealand Building Nations Symposium this morning, Urban Development Minister
Phil Twyford restated the Government's commitment to addressing housing
affordability and supply challenges via the five pillars of the Urban Growth
"This is a
comprehensive programme and represents the first system-wide attempt to address
the causes of the housing and wider urban development crisis.
"The proposed changes
are not inconsistent with National's reform intentions when it was in
government. It would be great to see cross party support for change to finally
breakthrough the current stranglehold on effective planning, decision making
and investment in New Zealand.
legislation, principally the RMA (Resource Management Act 1991), the LGA (Local
Government Act 2002) and the LTMA (Land Transport Management Act 2005), has
disaggregated growth decision making, funding and delivery.
"In places where we've
had land, we've had no infrastructure. In places with infrastructure, we've had
no zoning. In places with zoning, we've had no demand.
"The Urban Growth
Agenda knits together the key elements needed to turn a section of land into a
new home or business, but only if it's implemented in full and without delay.
"There is strong
industry support to tackle infrastructure funding and financing, and the use of
off-balance sheet project financing vehicles now needs to be ramped up and
rolled out.
"Well signalled
Government commitments to introduce road pricing and open up land for
development are now overdue. These initiatives are critical to tackling
congestion, addressing land banking, reintroducing scale to the development
market and delivering affordable, accessible housing.
"New Zealand cannot
afford continued political stand-off on these important issues. Auckland alone
is 50,000 homes short of what it needs to house its population and that number
has increased 10 per cent in the last year.
"The housing and
infrastructure crisis will continue to get worse until a substantive change
agenda is fully implemented.
"To the extent that the reform
programme may cross Parliamentary terms of government, bi-partisan support will
be central to success," Selwood says.

Ford Ranger Raptor 2018 might get new diesel engine
Next year, the Ford Ranger Raptor 2018 will be rolled out in certain Asia-Pacific countries, including the Philippines. This pick-up truck is billed as the "ultimate performance off-road truck" and is believed to truly make fans excited about its look as well as an impressive performance.
Testing The Ultimate Performance Off-road Truck | Ford Ranger Raptor 2018
Formerly, rumors spread that the Ford Ranger Raptor 2018 would be driven by either a Ford's 3.5-liter twin turbo EcoBoost V6 engine or a smaller refreshed 3.2-liter unit. Yet, according to latest car news, the much-awaited Ranger Raptor will come with a 2.0-liter turbodiesel engine. So, for all intents and purposes, the EcoBlue which was introduced last year would be a potential candidate.
The much-awaited Ranger Raptor 2018 will come with a 2.0-liter turbodiesel engine
>>> Related story: Ford Ranger Raptor to debut in Asia-Pacific market next year
At launch, the EcoBlue produced three output levels: 103 hp, 128 hp and 168 hp. However, for the approaching Raptor, it is certain that the engine will boost a much higher performance, even up to 238 hp and 340 Nm of peak torque. With this power, just wait and see the baby Ranger Raptor moving through all terrains at blinding speeds.
The EcoBlue which was introduced last year would be a potential candidate
More than that, the EcoBlue will likewise be equipped with the Euro 6 emissions standard.
No words on other engines, but we can definitely hope for an EcoBoost gasoline unit.

We are looking for a global accounting package that will complement Salesforce which we use for CRM. The search started with the market leaders from Sage (accpac & X3) and Microsoft (Nav & GP). I was leaning towards Nav when we suddenly veered to a cloud solution and are currently evaulating Intacct and Netsuite.
Netsuite is well established in the UK, although reading this forum it clearly had some issues up to 2009. I would be interested to hear any issues since then.
Intacct is a mainly US based package but I know they are anxious to expand. Does anyone have any views on using Intacct in particular outside the US?.

Entire Peacekeeper system to be shut down in 2005
December 7, 2004
Old weapons systems never die; they just fade away.
The Peacekeeper intercontinental ballistic missile system, or ICBM, is being decommissioned, part of a plan by President Bush to decrease America's nuclear arsenal by two-thirds while modernizing the nation's weapons systems.
The United States initially began reducing weapons under the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty I, ratified in 1991.
Tuesday, the Sierra 01 Missile Alert Facility near Hawk Springs, Wyo., a tiny ranch town not far from the Nebraska border, became the first Peacekeeper facility to shut down.
Another launch command facility will control Sierra's nuclear missiles until the entire Peacekeeper system is shut down by the end of September 2005.
Many airmen and officers who work at Sierra and other Peacekeeper facilities will be retrained on the more accurate Minuteman III system, set to replace Peacekeeper.
Recommended Stories For You
Others will move on to different jobs. First Lt. Lara Wilson hopes to continue working in space command, but said you can never tell what's next in a military career.
"Growing up, I never thought I'd have anything to do with nuclear weapons, much less controlling them and possibly launching them," she said.
A watchdog group called Nuclear Heartland catalogued all the missile launch facilities in Colorado, Nebraska and Wyoming in the late 1980s. Each was given a nickname, some after towns or landmarks and some more macabre.
The Sierra launch control center controlled 10 missiles. Here are their nonmilitary, sometimes odd, nicknames, according to Nuclear Heartland:
S-1 "Laramie Canal" — Sierra Missile Alert Facility
S-2 "Headbanger" missile
S-3 "Pornographic"
S-4 "Misogynist"
S-5 "Table Mountain"
S-6 "Present Danger"
S-7 "Only One Earth"
S-8 "Friendly Fascism"
S-9 "Stoking Ovens"
S-10 "Red Bill Hill"
S-11 "Rivers of Blood"

Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
A colleague predicts charitable giving will plummet next year. Charitable contributions will not be deductible under the new tax law, but your personal exemption will increase to $10,000 per person. No net effect on most people's income taxes; but if you are effectively getting the charitable deduction without actually making a charitable contribution, why contribute? Who'd be foolish enough to throw money away like that?
This is how Liberals view the world. Liberals make charitable contributions to get tax breaks. No tax break – no charitable contribution.
That is not how Conservatives view the world. We make charitable contributions to help others and we consistently give more than our Liberal brethren. The tax break is nice but even if we don't get it, we're still going to make our same contributions.
Charitable giving is not for the tax break, it's for the soul. Liberals failing to understand that, explains much of what's gone wrong in America since they rammed through The Great Society.
Joe Doakes
Joe's outlook is sunnier than mine. The left at its core detests charity. They want it socialized.

Friday night was the elementary school's annual carnival. The kids love it, and the parents tolerate it. Usually I spend the evening hoping that I don't loose a kid while squeezing through the crowds, stopping to say hi to friends, acquaintances, and people I went to that same school with. This year it seemed much more pleasant. Maybe it was less crowded, or maybe it was because Lucas is finally old enough to go into the classrooms with his big sister while I wait in the hall. But most likely, it was the sunshine ;)
Really, the school carnival isn't that bad. It is usually very crowded though, and this year it didn't seem to be as crazy. I "lost" Matthew for most of it, but since I had sent him off with a handful of tickets, and his best friend, I wasn't too worried! I saw lots of people that I don't get to see very often, and that is always nice. All of that walking is a plus as well! I was ready to fall down by the time that we left ;)

Brock Lesnar defeated Braun Strowman to win the vacant WWE Universal Title at today's Crown Jewel event from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The match started with Acting RAW General Manager Baron Corbin dropping Strowman with a title shot to the head. Lesnar then dominated the match and finished Strowman with the fifth F5. Strowman barely got any offense in during the short match, which went just over 3 minutes.
This is Lesnar's second run with the title. The Universal Title had been vacant since October 22 when Roman Reigns relinquished the title following the announcement on his second battle with leukemia.
Below are photos and videos from today's title change at the King Saudi University Stadium:

by J. Wen, P. Arons, E. Lee, Southern California Edison , USA
As a result of green initiatives and Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) mandates the generation interconnection requests in California from new renewable resources to the power grid have escalated dramatically in recent years. RAS/SPS has been a timely and economic solution to enable the renewable generation interconnection considering the cost of building and difficulty of siting new transmission lines. Consequently, there will be a proliferation of RAS/SPS in order to accommodate many new generation interconnections.
The challenges that Southern California Edison (SCE), one of the three large Investor Owned Utilities in California, faced from its own system was that the standalone nature of the existing RAS/SPS implementations has limitations of operating in an isolated local substation environment, with little communication of RASs from one to the other, along with laborious traditional /non-optimized maintenance and test practices.
These technical limitations in combination with the need for extensive staffing support impede the company's ability to deploy large numbers of new RASs and meet generator requested operating dates. Both grid operation reliability and business practice optimization called for a breakthrough solution – centralize the existing distributed and standalone RAS to allow for better RAS development, coordination, and maintenance. With enabling technologies such as advanced field Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) and advanced fast computer hardware and software, SCE's extensive microwave/fiber communication networks, and the continued development of international standard IEC 61850, the opportunity exists to achieve such a breakthrough. (Figure 1)
The Centralized RAS (CRAS) developed by SCE centralizes the entire monitoring and protection functions, including the arming calculation as well as RAS logic, and establish a platform for future RAS optimization and development. From advanced Information and Communications Technology ICT point of view, there are several breakthroughs: An Intel-based modern computer sever-type controller, capable of IEC 61850 communications, will be the first used as RAS controller instead of proprietary Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) based solutions. State-of-the-art information technologies in Cyber security, redundancy, historian, etc. are applied to the RAS central controller systems. CRAS will also be the first of its kind that applies IEC 61850 over such a large scale wide area monitoring and protection network (over 100 substations planned).
Business Drivers
SCE transmission network, as depicted in Figure 2, consists mainly of 500 kV and 230 kV transmission systems with multiple long corridors connecting remote generation as well as interconnecting with numerous neighboring utilities in western United States. This network has become increasingly congested as a result of ever-growing customer load and significant additions of generation from new power supply market participants. RAS has become a timely and economic choice considering the cost of building, the difficulty of siting new transmission lines, and the long lead time required for the new transmission construction. Today, SCE has 17 standalone RAS implementations and expects a need for more than 30 new RAS implementations in the next few years, as shown in Figure 1.
A neighboring utility's comprehensive RAS experience, together with the challenge to manage and maintain an ever increasing volume of distributed, standalone, RAS, has led to the exploration of the concept of a completely centralized RAS for the entire SCE transmission network by leveraging advanced ICT development and SCE's fiber backbone network.

Let's take a look back at a movie which was centered around wealthy businessman Edward Lewis and Hollywood hooker Vivian Ward. Who could ever forget their crazy and unconventional love story?
This movie, which people have labeled as a "modern-day Cinderella story," is filled with unexpected twists and turns, zany one-liners unlike anything heard in other '90s films. It is packed with laughable moments that will have you falling out of your seat.
How well do you remember this movie? Do you recall when Edward said, "You and I are such similar creatures, Vivian. We both screw people for money," or when Vivian said, "I want the fairy tale"? Well, if you do, you'll have no problem getting through this quiz, and if you don't, this will be the perfect refresher course.
Test your knowledge to see how well you remember some of the lines from one of the greatest movie love stories of all time. When you're done, challenge a friend to see who was really paying attention.

Chocamole de Santa Fe
We just had our first fire in the fireplace, so it must be time to feature Zelda & Bramble's new cold-weather indulgence: Cocoa de Santa Fe! A mix of dark chocolate, real vanilla beans, cinnamon, and smoky chiles, this rich and sophisticated tribute to traditional Mesoamerican flavors is far beyond your average hot chocolate! Its flavors are complex and not overly sweet, and the chiles add just the right touch of spiciness. When we sampled the Cocoa on a recent cold morning at the farmers' market, people said it warmed them twice!
You certainly can't go wrong drinking Cocoa de Santa Fe as intended (instructions for a cup of this goodness are on the bag and on the website), but of course I had to see what else I could do with it! This velvety chocolate mousse remains in keeping with the Cocoa's Southwestern spirit by using avocado for creaminess and agave nectar for sweetness. And like the Magic Bean Dip, the Chocamole is as easy as it is decadent—5 ingredients plus a food processor and you're good to go!
Here's all you have to do:
Combine the following ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth.
Serves 2… if you can bear to share it!

A recent study has examined the different levels of marginal bone loss (MBL) around two different types of implant surface. Researchers from Seoul conducted a radiographic evaluation of MBL around implants with resorbable blast media (RBM) and sandblasted, large-grit and acid-etched (SLA) surfaces.
MBL can pose a serious threat to the longevity of dental implants. Studies have shown that the extent of MBL can vary depending on the surface of the implant used. For this study, 127 implants with an RBM surface were placed in 52 patients; 155 implants with an SLA surface were placed in 75 patients. All patients were male and the average age was 68 years old.
Clinical and radiographical examinations were performed by one dentist and MBL data was collected three times: at the time of loading, after one year and after three years. The results showed a statistically significant difference in annual bone loss between the two implant surfaces. The bone loss after one year was 0.801 mm for RBM and 0.424 mm SLA. At three years the result was 1.672 mm for RBM and 0.844 mm for SLA. The authors conclude that both implants could be considered clinically acceptable, but that in this instance the SLA surface showed better radiographical and clinical results.

Skip to 0 minutes and 0 seconds Occasionally we get variants which can't be classified one way or another because there isn't enough evidence to say that they don't cause disease or enough evidence to say that they do cause the disease and these are the variants of uncertain significance. The difficulty when you receive a variant of uncertain significance is how you use that information both for the patient in front of you, but also how you use that information for their family members. We had a case with a patient who had been referred to the hospital for predictive testing because her sister had undergone testing in another country and been found to have a variant of uncertain significance in BRCA2.
Skip to 0 minutes and 37 seconds They had a number of relatives who'd died at young ages, of breast and ovarian cancer, so they were worried about their own risk of developing these cancers. The patient in another country was told that this was probably the cause of the cancer in the family and she went on to have both of her breasts removed. She was also planning to have her ovaries removed at a later date as a risk reducing procedure. And then she told her sister to be tested for this mutation to see if she needed the same treatment.
Skip to 1 minute and 4 seconds So this sister turned up to have this testing undertaken, she made it very clear at her appointment that she wanted to have the same surgery that her sister had had if she was found to carry this variant. But when we received a copy of the mutation report it was clear to us that this was not a variant that was definitively associated with the cancer. Nine months later this particular variant was reclassified internationally as non-disease causing. So the woman overseas has had unnecessary major surgery and we still don't know whether or not either of the sisters is at risk of developing cancer in future because its not clear to us what the cause of the cancer in the family is.
Skip to 1 minute and 47 seconds Both of these sisters had daughters who were both also poised to have testing and potentially have the same, quite dramatic, surgery which would have again been unnecessary. I think the most important things to take away from the case are knowing your limitations when you request testing and you have to know the limitations of how you can interpret them and what should and shouldn't be done for these patients.
Skip to 2 minutes and 8 seconds As we're moving forward into the genomic medicine era and an era of personalised medicine we do have to be careful as clinicians that we're not making an error both for the patient in front of us and the implications for their treatment, but also amplifying any potential errors across their family members as well.
The impact of incorrect reporting
In this video, Dr Angela George, Consultant in Oncogenetics, outlines the importance of exercising caution when reporting variants, discussing the challenge posed by variants of uncertain significance.
Dr George describes a case where a woman came to her clinic for predictive testing on the advice of her sister, who had had testing in another country and was found to have a variant of uncertain significance in BRCA2. The woman's sister was told that this variant was probably responsible for the breast and ovarian cancers that were prevalent in their family, and had a double mastectomy based on this advice. (She was also planning to return to hospital to have both of her ovaries removed as a risk-reducing measure).
As Dr George explains, however, by UK classification, this variant was not deemed to have sufficient evidence linking it to breast and ovarian cancer, so no action would have been taken in the NHS. Then, nine months later, the variant was re-classified as non-pathogenic (non-disease-causing), meaning her patient's sister had had drastic and unnecessary surgery.
This example drives home the importance of careful and accurate reporting.

While it is becoming evident to more and more people every day that the U.S. has oversold higher education, the Lumina Foundation keeps cheerleading for a higher college-completion rate. Read Inside Higher Ed's story about it here.
Lumina's obsession with getting at least a particular percentage of Americans through to postsecondary degrees is the mindset of central planning — expert decisionmakers setting targets that will be best of society. The fact that "we" are "falling short" proves to the people at Lumina that we have a problem. Apparently it does not occur to them that individuals decide for themselves what level of formal education is ideal, and that many simply don't think additional courses and degrees are worth the expense.

Dairy MPP Participation Falls to All-Time Low
An analysis of farmer participation in the United States Department of Agriculture's Dairy Margin Protection Program shows farmer participation fell to an all-time low in 2017, according to analysis by the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF).
Some 20,314 dairy farms signed up for coverage on 138 billion lb of milk in 2017, but 98% of that coverage was for the minimum, $4/cwt catastrophic coverage. The numbers show that 49% of dairy farms signed up with coverage of 64% of expected milk production in 2017.
In 2016, 23% of farms opted for coverage above the catastrophic level, and in 2015, 56% chose higher coverage levels. In 2016, 12% of the milk that was covered was at levels above $4, and in 2015, 38% of the milk that was covered was above the catastrophic level.
No farms in Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon and Wyoming signed up for any coverage above $4. And only 10 states, primarily in the nation's mid-section, saw more than 10% of their farms sign up for something more than catastrophic coverage. Missouri, 19.8% of farms; South Dakota, 18.7% of farms and Nebraska, 16.2% of farms, had the highest levels above catastrophic coverage.
"While the program is working as designed by Congress, it has not met the expectations of dairy producers," say AFBF analysts. "MPP offered little protection because the safety net is based on [milk-feed] margin and not milk price."
Enrollment for the 2018 program opens in July and ends September 30. Note, however, that in previous years USDA has kept the enrollment period open longer to encourage participation.

Well we couldn't go to Newcastle without visiting the Angel of the North. It's a pretty awesome sculpture by Anthony Gormley that's been up since 1998. It's just south of Newcastle off the A1 but we managed to miss it on our way into the city. But when we caught it on the way back we got the sunset as a great background.
It's 20m tall, has a wingspan of 54m, and weighs 200 tonnes.

Second place is not always bad
Second place. Who wouldn't be in second place, right? If you are among the top five in the whole world. You gotta feel sorry for those Americans who are world-class athletes but only manage to come in second place. The sweat is still running when all those journalists shove the microphone in front of the poor athlete asking the famous question, "What went wrong?" Ahh! I want to strangle those blood thirsty microphone holding people!
We are definitely a society that idolizes first places. We love our heroes and are quick to relegate losers to the dustpan of history. And that is a tragedy.
However, that is not to say that coming in first place is not a lofty goal and something every athlete should strive for. The apostle Paul said that in a race everyone runs but only one gets the top prize, and you should run to get the prize. But what happens when you come in second?
Well, in my case, disaster. It happened when I was a freshman in High School. I came from a poor family and our school required that we wore specific t-shirts provided by the school, a blatant gimmick to make somebody rich on the backs of poor people. But they were nice, they gave us several months before you were required to start wearing the shirts. Meanwhile, school is in full swing and I am acing all the Math tests.
So when the teacher announced that he was going to give a free shirt to whoever got the highest grade in the next big test, everybody was already writing my name on that shirt. Including me, unfortunately. Consequently, I didn't study as hard as I should. I went with the law of averages — I was the top student of my classes and I had gotten the best grade by far in ALL the previous tests. I told my mom about it and we all started counting on the shirt and what we would be able to buy with the money we would save.
On the day we got the test results back, a big surprise awaited all of us. A student who was not even on anybody's radar screen got the top grade and I came in second place. The teacher even lauded the student as someone who worked harder than ever because he kept his eye on the prize. The implication was that I didn't work as hard and perhaps was simply relying on past victories.
The day I told my mother about my failure was a sad day in my house.
But I did learn some lessons from that failure:
1. I overestimated my abilities and underestimated the abilities of those I was coming up against;
2. I was celebrating too early. Remember Lindsey Jacobellis, the American snowboarder who started celebrating too soon and ended up blowing a big lead to finish in second place?
3. Just about with anything also you desire, the question always is "how bad do you really want it?" No matter how focused you may be, how hungry for the prize and how disciplined in your training, you can always count on the fact that someone out there wants it more than you!
And finally I learned that it is better to wear the shirt first before you promise it to your mom!

It's a given that businesses use technology, but how exactly does it impact them? A recent report by ANZ shows that on average digital tools save small and medium-sized businesses 10 hours per week. What's more, they boost revenue by 27 percent per year.
And yet, the same report found that 50 percent of respondents don't feel confident in exploring digital technology, and only 48 percent consider their employees well-trained to digitally engage with customers.
Larger companies face challenges of their own: according to a 2019 report by Deloitte, Australian companies are falling behind in terms of investments in Artificial Intelligence. Forty-one percent of executives reported that their organisation lacks a comprehensive strategy on AI, compared to the global figure of 30 percent.
How can businesses take control of the opportunities technology gives them? Let's find out.
"Why you should treat the tech you use at work like a colleague" by Nadjia Yousif
When businesses install new technology, often at great expense, it's frustrating to find that it's either ignored or not used to its full capacity. As a technology mentor at Boston Consulting Group, Nadja Yousif has observed this problem time and again, and suggests a unique approach to solving it.
"The basics of AI for business" by Philipp Gerbert
Artificial Intelligence can push many businesses away because of its image as a complex — and expensive — project. Watch Gerbert's talk to learn how it can be something simple that any company can understand, implement, and benefit from.
"Why jobs of the future won't feel like work" by David Lee
Last, but not least, let's talk about how technology and people can work together in business. Rather than focus on dystopian predictions of job losses, innovation expert David Lee shows how tech takes over singular and repetitive tasks to give room for innovation and growth.

Effective and Flexible Outpatient Treatment for Alcoholism
April 9, 2015
In recognition of Alcohol Awareness Month in April, Gateway expert, Stacy Lott shares how outpatient alcoholism treatment can be highly effective.
By: Stacy Lott, PsyD, CADC
Clinical Supervisor Outpatient Programs
Gateway Chicago West
Many people don't realize they can receive effective alcohol treatment in outpatient drug rehabilitation. The reality is, alcohol is a drug and outpatient therapy is very beneficial for treating the many forms of alcoholism.
Outpatient drug rehab is a flexible option for people who are unable to commit to a residential program. Many have jobs from which they cannot take time away or have children they must care for.
In addition to flexibility, outpatient treatment enables people to come in, learn new skills, and immediately utilize them in the real world. People can see what works and doesn't, come back in, process that and build upon it.
Gateway Alcohol & Drug Treatment Centers' outpatient drug rehab program utilizes evidenced-based treatment, which has been shown through research to be the most effective. More than a support group, our program helps participants build the most effective coping skills….Read More>
