Stay Safe in the Wet Season with Cortez Features
21 December, 2018
As we enter the rainy season, we need tobe more careful when driving on the road.The rain that soaks the asphalt will make the road be more slippery when being crossed. Whereas the wet unpaved ground might trap your tires, makingit difficult for your car to move. More often than not, puddles hide the gaping hole on the road, thus in such weather condition, please be more careful.
Wuling always gives detailed attention to safety and security factors during car production at the factory. The abundant features installedon every section of the car do not only provide you with comfort and entertainment, but also make you feel safe throughout every driving experience. We'd like totake you back to the safety features that make you truly free from the feeling of anxiety when driving under this heavy rainy weather.
Airbag is a quite common feature one would have in today's cars. The experts working at the Wuling factory have carefully planned to install airbags not only on the front side, but also on the side parts so that both the driver and the passengersstay safe when there is a collision. Be more careful when driving, so you don't need to activate this particular feature.
In addition to one's driving skill, drivers also need safety features to support a maximum driving experience. In Cortez, top-level safety features such as anti-lock braking systems and electronic brake distribution have been implemented as a proof of Wuling's commitment to providing safety and protection when driving Cortez. With the presence of both features, each wheel are enabled to distribute the braking force so that the car does not slip when braking, especially with a sudden brake. Every wheel and the footing will also be hindered from locking when the brake is kicked and the motion of the car stay smooth until it stops. Another safety feature is the electronic stability control. It is basically a sensor which will be automatically activated when the system senses the driver losing control of the car.
All these safety features are mandatory features so that you wouldstay safe when driving Cortez, but at the same time,don't we all hope to never need to activate it? Then, how do we ensure that the featuresare well maintained when we never actually use them? The answer is to always bring your Cortez to our authorized workshop regularly, so that the condition of each of these safety featuresare well taken care of by experienced technicians and experts. Keeping your car in good condition means Drive for a Better Life.

Samsung is investing millions in South Korea's original social networking service, Cyworld.
On August 22, Samsung announced that Samsung's start-up investment corporation, Samsung Venture Investment, invested in Cyworld. The corporation did not specify the investment size, but it is told to be around 5 billion KRW.
Samsung Venture Investment has been investing in various future-oriented start-up ventures with an aim to support technological developments. The investment areas include semiconductor, telecommunication, software, Internet, bioengineering and medical industry, film/video industry, and more. It is the first time, however, for the investment corporation to invest in a platform service like Cyworld.
Business insiders see this investment as Samsung's move to procure technology and know-how for the development of AI services related to news or music services.
Samsung Electronics is currently presenting its intelligent personal assistant "Bixby" through products like Galaxy S8 smartphones. Samsung Venture Investment's investment in Cyworld can be seen as a movement to secure news and music contents, as well as the technology, to be utilized in the "Bixby" service.
It is also expected to possibly launch a new service as Cyworld had led the early phase of social networking service in Korea.
Cyworld launched in 1999 as a community-driven service. The service once had been one of the most-used Internet services in its home market with 32 million users. However, the number declined rapidly as Facebook began its services in Korea in 2009.

If you're having problems with your breast implants, there's a chance you could benefit from the Affordable Care Act (ACA, or "Obamacare").
An important change was made when the Affordable Care Act was passed: health insurance companies could no longer refuse to pay for health care arising from a pre-existing condition. Pre-existing conditions are health problems you had before joining an insurance plan. For example, your health insurance company can't refuse to cover your insulin medication if you were diagnosed with diabetes before buying their plan. This is important because before the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies considered breast implants a pre-existing condition. They refused to cover any breast implant problems and sometimes even problems that occurred in the breast tissue.
Now insurance companies are usually required to pay for "medically necessary" services. Most insurance companies define "medically necessary" as a service that is required to improve your health or keep you healthy. Although some insurance companies say they do not cover services related to cosmetic surgery, many have exceptions when those services are deemed medically necessary. It is important that you read the policies carefully before you choose!
Based on our experiences working with women having problems with their breast implants, we have found that many companies consider removal of breast implants to be medically necessary for these conditions:
- Ruptured silicone gel breast implants
- Severe capsular contracture
- Infections that don't go away
- Chronic breast pain
- ALCL (a rare cancer of the immune system)
Additionally, insurance companies such as Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, and Cigna tend to have good coverage for medically necessary breast implant removal if you meet their criteria that include the conditions listed above. The language that each policy uses can vary by state and plan type, so be sure to look for the language regarding breast implants in the specific plan you are considering.
There is a window of time called "Open Enrollment" each year when you are able to sign up for a plan through the health insurance marketplace. If the Open Enrollment period has ended, please email us at email@example.com and we can help you look into other options. Otherwise, read below to see how to sign up for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act or Medicaid.
How Do I Sign Up During Open Enrollment?
Starting in early November, you will have the opportunity to choose an affordable health insurance policy through the government's Health Insurance Marketplace. This Marketplace helps you to shop for insurance plans that everyone can afford. If you want health care coverage for 2020, you have from November 1-December 15, 2019 to pick and plan and enroll. The time to sign up is called the Open Enrollment period, and it only lasts from November 1-December 15 for coverage in the following year. If you want health insurance so that you can get your implants removed or any other medical coverage at any point in 2020, it is important to start thinking about it so you are prepared when the Marketplace opens.
The open enrollment period for coverage in 2019 through the Health Insurance Marketplace has already ended, but if you've recently lost your health insurance coverage, or have had a major life event, like getting married or having a baby, you may be eligible to sign up for health insurance outside of the Open Enrollment period. If you follow this link: https://www.healthcare.gov/screener/ you can check whether you might be eligible for coverage in 2019 outside of the enrollment period.
This Marketplace allows you to shop for insurance plans and apply savings based on your household income. The lower your income, the less you'll have to pay. Want to know how much your health insurance plan will cost through the Affordable Care Act? Use this calculator to find out.
Is Medicaid an Option?
In many states, Medicaid is available for free to any individual or family under 133% of the poverty line (about $30,000/year for a family of 4). Medicaid provides coverage for surgery or services that a doctor determines are medically necessary. You can find out if you are eligible for Medicaid at www.healthcare.gov.
Read here for more information on getting Medicaid coverage for your breast implant removal surgery.
Unfortunately, fewer people are eligible for Medicaid in states that did not adopt the Medicaid expansion provided by Obamacare.

Senator Lindsey Graham unleashed on Democrats in an Thursday night interview, declaring that the attempts to block the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh are "bullshit".
Appearing on Laura Ingraham's Fox News broadcast, Graham responded to comments made by Democratic Senator Bob Menendez, who said that the FBI investigation into claims of sexual harassment had been useless to Democrats.
Menendez and other Democrats described the report as a 'sham' and a 'cover up'.
"That report — if that's an investigation, it's a bullshit investigation." Graham urged.
"Let me tell it to my friend, Bob: What y'all have done is bullshit," Graham added.
"If they ever write a book about overplaying your hands in politics, this is it. It's in the first chapter." he continued.
Calling the accusations against Kavanaugh "despicable," Graham went on to scold leftists for attempting to "take a good man's life, and turn it upside down."
"It's going to blow up in your face," Graham said. "I hope it does."
The Senator predicted that the entire debacle just before the midterm elections has bolstered The GOP, saying that the appalling behavior by Democrats is uniting President Trump's supporters.
Graham's prediction is shared by Pollster outfit The Trafalgar Group, with senior strategist Robert Cahaly noting "This has done more to wake up complacent Republican voters than anything I have seen."
Referring to Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford as a political pawn, Senator Graham pleaded with Democrats, "Please don't use and abuse this woman anymore."
"I think the Democratic party has been taken over by irrationality," he added. "Hatred is their only platform. It's not about what they like it's who they hate."

ICE and DHS are culling through old criminal records to seek removal or deportation of lawful permanent residents with serious crimes. Illegal aliens are subject to the same scrutiny. Travel outside the U.S. by a permanent resident or seeking immigration benefits such as renewal of green cards or applications for citizenship (N 400) can also lead to ICE detention in the event of multiple DUI's, domestic battery or other crimes involving fire arms, theft, drugs or violence
Our lawyer has 30 years experience in criminal defense in all courts in Northern Nevada: Winnemucca, Douglas County, Reno, Sparks and Lake Tahoe
Will this decisions negate Obama's Dream Act and Prosecutorial Discretion? The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld only a part of the Arizona anti immigrant law but kept in tact the provision allowing that state to direct its police and state troopers to hand over suspected illegal immigrants to ICE and DHS for deportation and removal. How will this decision affect Obama's executive order protecting children of illegal immigrants who have been here for more than 2 years, entered under the age of 16 and are high school students or graduates? How will Arizona's law affect the Obama announcement of prosecutorial discretion.

EMC enhances partner programme
Adds solutions designed to aid Velocity partners to maximise profitability
Information infrastructure solutions provider, EMC has announced several enhancements to the EMC Velocity Solution Provider Partner programme, which are designed to aid EMC velocity Partners to maximise profitability.
"To help our partners take market share and grow their business with EMC, we are taking aggressive actions to provide more opportunities for them to increase profitability," said Nicolas Leblanc, Vice President, EMC EMEA Channels and Midmarket. "Not only does EMC offer the industry-leading products, solution and competitive pricing, we're also committed to providing our Velocity partners with the right tools and resources to allow them to focus on delivering the best possible service to their customers. We believe Velocity partners are well positioned to lead their customers on their journey to the cloud while growing their business and becoming more profitable."
The enhancements to the Velocity Incentive Programme include a new discount structure, designed to aid partners to become more competitive.
EMC has extended its discount structure to include a larger range of EMC technology and solutions including its backup and recovery and unified storage offerings.
Upfront discounts include stackable deal registration, incremental, and new accounts.
The Expanded Velocity Incentive Programme (VIP) now offers partners stackable individual employee rewards for deals that align to EMC's information infrastructure solutions for unified storage, consolidation, backup and recovery, archive, security, as well as selected products from Cisco, Brocade and Emulex.
EMC has also announced that the EMC VNX family and EMC VNXe series of unified storage systems have been added to the VIP programme in order to reward partner representatives and sales engineers with back end incentives on sales of these products.
Partners will also now have access to new demand generation campaigns including next generation backup and unified storage for SMB, midmarket, and enterprise businesses. These campaign assets are accessible through the EMC Velocity Partner Marketing Guide, an online self-service portal.
EMC has replaced its previous incremental only registration model with a new Base model, designed to simplify deal registration, that allows for more upfront, stackable registration discounts. The new model is designed to be flexible and supports incremental and non-incremental opportunities in addition to net-new accounts.
EMC Velocity partners in EMEA can choose to get VNXe products from any EMC Velocity distributor in their country and can receive Velocity programme benefits.
EMC has also introduced new free and fast-paced VNXe sales and services training modules.
"The addition of the VNXe portfolio to the Velocity programme along with the new discount structures, make an even more compelling offer for resellers," said Christian Magirus, executive vice-president and COO for Magirus. "This provides a direct path for resellers to help their customers realise the benefits of unified storage as they migrate to virtualised data centres and cloud computing."
EMC has also developed a new partner relationship management tool called Partner Central, which is designed to help partners track the various elements of their business transactions with EMC more efficiently and with greater speed and service.
"MTI and EMC go back a long time and over the last few years we have seen that EMC has become more and more channel friendly," said Ian Parslow, VP Sales, MTI Technology. "The new enhancements to the Velocity Programme and the introduction of the VNX Family are great examples of this change"

Croque Monsieur is the French version of a toasted ham and cheese sandwich. It's a classic dish that's both easy and delicious because, like many things, the French do it better!
Next time you want to curl up by the fire with grilled cheese and tomato soup, try this French recipe and treat yourself to my homemade tomato soup. Then you'll know what heaven feels like! And, don't miss my other 30-minute meals!
This Croque Monsieur recipe was inspired by the amazing adventure to Europe my husband and I took a couple years ago. It was my second time to Paris and I couldn't wait to enjoy all of the amazing good again!
I was (obviously) completely inspired by the food we ate throughout our trip and you know I love recreating classic recipes! FIRST UP: Croque Monsieur, which you can find on almost every restaurant menu in Paris! I could eat this amazing french-style ham and cheese sandwich every. single. day.
Serve it with a warm bowl of French onion soup and I'm in heaven! The sandwich pictured below was from a fun patio lunch we enjoyed on the streets at Montmartre Paris.
What is the difference between a croque monsieur and croque madame?
Both are very similar ham and cheese sandwiches but a croque madame is also topped with a fried egg. The French word croque is based on the verb croquer, which means to bite or to crunch. The names croque monsieur and croque madame translate to "mister" and "mistress" crunch.
How to make croque monsieur:
1. Spread the white sauce. Lay all of your bread slices on the counter and spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce on each slice. Béchamel is a simple white sauce made with butter, flour and milk.
2. Add ham and cheese. Add one first layer of ham and cheese to half of the bread slices.
3. Top with bread. Top the ham and cheese with another slice of bread, making sure to leave the béchamel facing up.
4. Finishing touches. Add another layer of parmesan and gruyere to the top of the béchamel sauce.
5. Bake. Pop it in the oven and allow it to toast up all nice and bubbly.
For the Béchamel Sauce:
- Melt butter in a saucepan.
- Whisk in flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 3 minutes.
- Gradually add milk, stirring well until the mixture is smooth. Cook, stirring, until sauce is thickened.
- Season with a little bit of salt and pepper.
- Remove from heat and whisk in mustard and nutmeg.
A few tips for success:
1. Quality ingredients matter. Particularly fresh cheeses and good quality ham! Most of the places where we had Croque Monsieur in Paris used Emmental cheese, but I found that hard to find. I do know that Gruyere is commonly used as well, so either will work.
2. Make the béchamel ahead of time. The béchamel can be made one day in advance to cut down on prep. Make it as instructed, allow it to cool. Place plastic wrap directly onto surface and chill.
For Croque Madame:
To make this into a croque madame sandwich, first make the recipe as instructed. Then fry eggs (one for each sandwich) in a separate skillet while the sandwiches toast in the oven. Place the egg on top of the broiled sandwiches. Delicious!

Croque Monsieur
Béchamel sauce:
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (½ stick)
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups whole milk
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dijon mustard
- dash of ground nutmeg
- 8 thin slices white sandwich breads
- 5 ounces good quality ham about 8 slices
- 6 ounces Gruyere cheeses (or Emmental cheese), grated (about 2½ cups)
- 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
For the Béchamel:
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 3 minutes.
- Gradually add milk, stirring well until the mixture is smooth. Cook, stirring, until sauce is thickened.
- Season with a little bit of salt and pepper. Remove from heat and whisk in mustard and nutmeg.
- Preheat oven to 425° F.
- Spread bread slices with a layer of béchamel, spreading it all the way to the edges.
- Place 4 slices of bread, béchamel side up, on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Top each with a piece of ham, a handful of gruyere, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Place remaining slices of bread on top, béchamel side up, then top with remaining gruyere and parmesan cheese.
- Bake at 425 degrees F for about 5-6 minutes, until cheese is melted, and then turn the oven to broil and broil until the cheese on top is golden, 2-4 minutes.
Have you tried this recipe?!
RATE and COMMENT below! I would love to hear your experience.


text: A few years back the wife and I stopped buying for each other, because of money reasons, and just never picked it back up when things got better. I now look forward to the kids' joy more than anything I personally want. I do want a new computer, as my eMachine is on it's last leg. Yeah, they don't make them anymore, so I might want to keep it as a relic. But since I won't get it for Christmas, I am holding out for tax time. How about you? What do you want? Are you going to get it?

Dual inaugural lectures have happened before in Maastricht, but this is the first time that a 'husband and wife' present theirs in the same ceremony. The honour goes to German researchers Lisa and Alexander Brüggen, each of whom will accept a chair at the School of Business and Economics (SBE) tomorrow. "Some employees, who have worked at SBE for years, don't even know that we are a couple."
On the edge of Wolder, in the evening sun, Lisa Brüggen (41, Niederrhein) looks out over the long garden. To the right there is a stretch of green with flowers and plants. That is Alex's hobby (42, Cologne), she says. "He has a green thumb," an expression from German, a language that is fading more and more into the background. They read Het Financieele Dagblad and by now speak fluent Dutch.
Alexander: "When we were AIOs we still had the idea to return to Germany after our PhD research, also because, to a certain degree, we felt like outsiders in Maastricht. Going back is no longer an option now. Our friends live in Maastricht and the children were born here, they recently asked when they would finally get a Dutch passport. We have become completely Dutch. When I have a congress in Germany, it no longer feels like coming home. Strangely enough, we still watch Die Tagesschau for news and not the NOS Journaal."
Both of the Brüggens started studying at SBE in 1997, but during their studies they never spoke to each other, never even deigned to look at each other. It was not until at Lisa's graduation ceremony that sparks started to fly, when Alexander congratulated her with her degree.
"That was on 14 September 2001, on the exact same day as our inaugural speech," says Lisa. "The advantage of that 'late' meeting was that we were able to do our own thing as students without feeling impeded; I studied in California and Alex went to Hong Kong. You sometimes see students in a relationship making concessions and staying nearer to home."
After they had met, they never lost sight of one another: they became AIOs on the same day, assistant professors on the same day and tomorrow they will become professors on the same day. They married in 2007 and have two daughters, aged eight and ten.
Alexander will deliver his inaugural speech in the auditorium first, after which Lisa will take over. Half an hour each. They won't, as is usual, use up the whole hour; they don't want to do that to the audience. Alexander will become professor of Management Accounting, a research field of which he will give a glimpse in his speech.
"Accounting is always about information. The same applies to Management Accounting, except this information is not meant for the outside world but for one's own management. It is required for decision-making, investments and planning mergers. By the way it is not just about finance, it's also about decisions regarding the environment, safety or social responsibility."
Lisa, who will become professor of Financial Services, will talk about something completely different, pension planning. "How to get people thinking about their retirement at an earlier stage? For most people retirement is equal to: far away, boring and complicated. That is partly a matter of phrasing. As an experiment, we adapted four sentences in a newsletter, in which we placed more emphasis on 'safeguarding the future'. After that twice as many people clicked on a link to their pension."
Two different stories, but with an unmistakable overlap: individuals taking decisions. What makes it exciting, says Alexander, is the psychology behind it. "How do people interpret the information provided? How is it presented and what effect does it have? It makes quite a difference whether an accountant puts specific data in a footnote or in a chart."
It is therefore not so strange that they both participate in the same research group: human decisions and policy design. Lisa is the chairwoman of this group, but they do not work on projects together. Alexander: "You have to be able to give criticism freely on each other's work and that is not so easy if you are in a relationship. We don't sit next to each other in meetings either. Until recently, some employees, who have worked at SBE for years, didn't even know that we are a couple. Rob Bauer [professor of Finance, who has worked at SBE for fourteen years] almost fell off his chair when he heard."
So they don't advertise the fact that they have a relationship, if only for the fact that it is not always nice for people to work with a couple, says Alexander. So why hold the inaugural speeches together? "Money isn't the main issue, but we do invite more or less the same people."
Lisa: "It seemed like fun because we have taken the same academic path. We have always supported each other along the way. For example, Alex flew through his tenure track, whereas I came across some bumps on the road."
They won't dwell on it during the ceremony, but they both feel that the equality of their academic careers is very important. Lisa: "Alexander did just as much housework as I did. So it is possible. Colleague Gaby Odekerken was a good example for me. I hope that we in turn can inspire young researchers."
They both emphasise that although they are holding their inaugural speeches together they also have their own lives. Lisa is a member of the choir in Wolder and Alexander keeps bees. He rents a plot of land of about 1,500 square metres across the road, on which he has four beehives. Why bees? "I love animals but I don't have loads of time to look after them. Bees take two hours a week."

Cambodia: The Ministry of Interior asks NGOs to form a working group to collect common recommendations for proposed amendments to Law on Associations and NGOs
Author: Vida Taing, Khmer Times
"Ministry asks NGOs to form a working group to discuss Lango", 4 December 2019
The Interior Ministry ... asked representatives of local and foreign NGOs to establish a working group to find a common ground for inputs to be included in the draft amendment to the Law on Associations and Non-governmental Organisations.
Speaking to reporters after the second meeting to review draft Lango amendments ..., Bun Honn, a secretary of state at the ministry, said he suggested two dozen leaders representing 450 NGOs in the meeting to work together and address their shared concerns.
"We want them to unite among themselves and come up with joint proposals. I think they should form a working group and conduct a meeting to agree with what they are going to propose during meetings with our ministry officials," he said. "We today discussed two articles and representatives of NGOs seem to have different opinions about their requests. It becomes an obstacle to the discussion."
... Soeng Sen Karuna, spokesman for rights group Adhoc, ... said the proposal was initially raised and drafted by a dozen NGOs, which have encountered challenges in their day-to-day activities...
Sok Sam Oeun, board director of election monitoring Comfrel and legal advisor to Transparency International, said the ministry should collect all inputs from all NGOs representatives and work on it to seek the best solution.
Mr Sam Oeun said that formation of a working group among the nearly 6,000 NGOs would be time-consuming...
Cambodia: The National Assembly passes amendments to Law on Trade Unions; while unions claim amendments remain restrictive
Author: Narim Khuon, Khmer Times
"Union Law amended", 27 November 2019
The National Assembly ... unanimously passed amendments to the Trade Union Law to promote workers' rights and ensure union freedom.
The Trade Union Law became effective in 2016, but unions decried some articles, saying they restricted union freedom. CPP lawmakers voted in favour of amendments to ten articles ... that were highlighted by unionists in previous meetings with government officials...
Labour Minister Ith Samheng ... said that the amendments gave more freedom to workers and unions.
... Ath Thorn, president of the Cambodian Labour Confederation, ... expressed his disappointment over the amendments because some articles of the law remain restrictive to workers' right and union freedoms, in his opinion.
"Little improvement has been made because the ten amended articles are still not good enough for our unions," Mr Thorn said.
He said that a requested audit of activity and financial reports will result in interference...
He said that articles 54, 55 and 59 in the old law stated that unions have the right to be a representative of the workers to solve labour disputes, but an amendment stipulates that a unionist cannot represent workers.
"The amendment states that we cannot be a representative of the workers to solve disputes; we can only accompany them," Mr Thorn said.
Pav Sina, president of the Collective Unions of Movement of Worker, echoed Mr Thorn's remarks.
"These amendments are not enough and do not aim to protect the interest of workers. They reduce unions' power because our opinions were excluded," he said. "These amendments still restrict activities of unions. Union leaders will still face challenges."
Cambodia: Govt. officials meet NGOs representatives to gather feedback on proposed amendments to Law on NGOs & Associations
Author: Dara Mech, The Phnom Penh Post
"Gov't to gather feedback on Lango", 30 October 2019
The Ministry of Interior will hold a meeting with civil society representatives … to gather feedback on the Law on Associations and Non-Governmental Organisations (Lango).
Secretary of state Bun Hun said the meeting was aimed at ensuring society organisations would have their concerns heard after a number of them said Lango posed a serious threat to civil society organisations (CSOs) and NGOs by undermining democracy and restricting freedom.
Hun told …: "We also need to know more about the civil society organisations that proposed the amendments because when we held the forum only a few organisations were representing all of civil society.
"They requested amendments to almost 10 articles in the law. So we would like to understand exactly why they want them and for what reason.
"We collected their input and we studied whether the proposal was appropriate and what articles should be amended," Bun Hun said.
Local rights group Adhoc spokesman Soeng Sen Karuna said … that some NGOs and CSOs requested the Lango amendments since some of the provisions restricted their freedom of movement and endangered their contributions…
"We want to make adjustments to some articles including punishing any person or officer who violates or obstructs civil society activities. Some articles have restricted our freedom by checking our reporting on our activities and finances," Karuna said…
Cambodia: The govt. approves draft amendment Law on Trade Unions; while unions claim their demands are not fully met
Author: Long Kimmarita, The Phnom Penh Post
"Trade union bill changes passed", 13 October 2019
The Council of Ministers approved draft amendments to 10 articles of the Law on Trade Unions without modification …, leaving some unions disappointed and claiming that the majority of their suggestions had not been included.
Articles 3, 17, 20, 21, 27, 28, 29, 54, 55 and 59 of the Law on Trade Unions are now set to be amended, following their approval at the plenary session of the Council of Ministers chaired by Prime Minister Hun Sen ...
However, some unions expressed disappointment after having requested that the government include their input to improve the situation in the garment sector.
Collective Union of Movement of Workers president Pav Sina said … that it was a positive step for the government to make amendments to the trade union law, because some articles had limitations and presented obstacles to unions and workers.
But he said the government had only accepted a small portion of the unions' suggestions…
Cambodian Labour Confederation president Ath Thorn said no changes were made at the Council of Ministers because the institution generally toes the government line.
''There is usually little change to laws proposed by the government, despite demands from civil society organisations and unions," he said.
Thorn said only a small amount of the unions' proposals had been incorporated into the draft law that would now reach the National Assembly.
"Out of 15 articles that the unions proposed amending, we see only 10 have been amended by the Council of Ministers…
Cambodia: The Ministry of Labour submits amendments to the Law on Trade Union to the Council of Ministers; unions request more suggestions to be considered
Author: Long Kimmarita, The Phnom Penh Post
"Law on Trade Unions amendment sent to Council of Ministers", 19 September 2019
Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training spokesman Heng Sour said the Supreme Consultation Council supported its decision to submit the amendment of the Law on Trade Unions to the Council of Ministers.
The proposed amendments affect Articles 3, 17, 20, 21, 27, 28, 29, 54, and 59 of the current law and are mostly related to the rights involved in holding demonstrations…
Sour told … that although some bills had been removed and some others had been accepted, the Council of Ministers supported and welcomed the amendment.
"After discussions and getting the Council's support, the ministry will propose that the bills be included in the meeting agenda with it [the Council]," Sour said.
… Coalition of Cambodian Apparel Workers' Democratic Union president Ath Thorn said although the Labour Ministry accepted some suggestions from the unions, the percentage of suggestions used in the amendment remains limited.
He asked the government and National Assembly to reconsider and include more union suggestions in the amendment.
"Unions called for the amendment of more than 10 Articles in the current law, but the ministry did not accept all our suggestions," he said.

Twenty major U.S., Canadian, European, and Hong Kong brands joined to call on Cambodia's prime minister to respond to concerns raised through multiple channels with government leaders.
In a … letter the companies expressed their growing concern regarding the labor and human rights situation in Cambodia, which threatens trade preferences for Cambodia.

Cambodia: Govt. & unions meet to discuss amendments to Trade Union Law deemed restrictive to union freedoms
Author: Davin Sen, Khmer Times
"Trade Union Law amendments to be discussed today", 25 April 2019
Unionist Ath Thorn ... announced that labour rights organisations will hold an advocacy meeting with the government ... to discuss the amendment of articles in the Trade Union Law deemed restrictive to union freedom.
The Trade Union Law took effect in 2016, but unions have decried some articles.
Mr Thorn, who is president of the Coalition of Cambodia Apparel Workers' Democratic Union, ... said he was ready to advise the government to amend the 10 articles.
"Some articles in this law are restrictive and limit the rights of unions," Mr Thorn said. "The International Labour Organisation has proposed changes in the past, but there has been no change by the government."
"By the end of 2018, the government had drafted a roadmap to serve as a reminder that some articles are going to be revised," he added
... Labour Minister Ith Samheng defended his ministry by saying that the government has been doing its best to help unions.
"Some unions know that some of their complaints were resolved in court," Mr Samheng said. "The government provides legal assistance to them."...
"We will discuss the amendments of the articles. Not all articles proposed must be amended, we have to listen together," Mr Samheng said. "Negotiate until we have reached an agreement."
He added that the enactment of the Trade Union Law in 2016 was a national achievement geared towards the interest of workers...
Cambodia: Better Factories Cambodia indicates improving conditions in Cambodian garment factories; violations continue to exist
Author: Fashionating World
"A Wake up Call for the Cambodian Textile Industry", 29 January 2019
... Better Factories Cambodia (BFC) indicates improving conditions in the country's garment factories, human rights violations demand new mechanisms for accountability and transparency in these companies.
… It's crucial that the government, garment industry corporations and international allies support the Cambodian people in pushing for transparency, accountability and better conditions…
The BFC report found improved compliance for international laws around overtime wages, discriminations against employees, child labor, routine evacuation drills, and reprisals for union membership.
However, across the nearly 500 factories surveyed, still 234 violations were registered between November 2017 and May 2018… The survey also found only 11 violations of international child labor laws among 600,000 workers, far fewer than the 74 violations found in 2014.
... the World Bank suggests that demand for Cambodia's exported textiles is increasing at a rate of 16.1 per cent per year,… Growth is partly due to the European Union's decision to give Cambodia tariff-free access to their markets under the "Everything but Arms" (EBA) program…
Despite rights violations in the garment industry and the country as a whole, Nike, Adidas, H&M, Gap Inc, and other international brands continue to rely on Cambodia for the manufacture of a significant portion of their products.
H&M recently hosted a summit on fair wages in Phnom Penh and stated that wages for factory workers producing their clothing were 24 per cent higher than the minimum wage, for a total of $210.80 per month. However, Clean Clothes Campaign, …, highlighted H&M's failure to follow through on its promise to provide minimum wages to its 850,000 garment workers…

FMOD is a demand responsive system in which a list of travel options is provided in real-time to each passenger request. The system provides passengers with flexibility to choose from a menu that is optimized in an assortment optimization framework. For operators, there is flexibility in terms of vehicle allocation to di erent service types: taxi, shared-taxi and mini-bus. The allocation of the available fleet to these three services is carried out dynamically and based on demand and supply so that vehicles can change roles during the day. The FMOD system is built based on a choice model and consumer surplus is taken into account in order to improve the passenger satisfaction. Furthermore, pro fits of the operators are expected to increase since the system adapts to changing demand patterns. In this paper, we introduce the concept of FMOD and present preliminary simulation results that quantify the added value of this system. 2014-11-03T00:00:00Z

Providing the tools you need to get the very best out of your training business
accessplanit has been chosen by Herefordshire based leadership development specialists, The Leadership Trust, to provide a fully integrated training management system to support their expanding business. The Leadership Trust work across all UK sectors and internationally, and are a recognised leader in the field of experiential learning for leadership effectiveness providing high-impact leadership development for directors, managers and individuals.
The Trust's course portfolio blends theory with practice, so unlike standard classroom based training, delegates are required to provide quite comprehensive time sensitive personal information as a pre-requisite to booking. The ability to manage this process and provide an integrated end to end solution was a high priority for The Trust in their search for the most suitable partner.
"accessplanit are a great fit for us. We were impressed not only by the Course Manager system, but with the Team's attitude and genuine enthusiasm to deliver a solution which incorporates the unique requirements of our business. They took the time to really understand our processes and with minor development we have agreed functionality that will bring added benefits to both us and our clients. Since implementation in April 2014, the support we have received from the team at accessplanit has been fantastic", said Jo Brandon, Administration Manager at The Leadership Trust
Like many fast expanding training companies, The Leadership Trust had outgrown their existing systems, and the lack of integration was beginning to impact business efficiency. Course Manager is a powerful course booking and management system which has the potential to link with The Trust's financial software to eventually provide seamless management of business processes from online course booking and registration through to post course evaluation.

Business jet operators will benefit from a move to from Dubai International Airport (DXB) to Al Maktoum International (DWC), as the latter facility becomes the focus in the Middle East hub, according to Dubai-based UAS International Trip Support.
"Business in general in Dubai is going very well," Omar Hosari, co-owner, founder, and CEO told AIN. "It's not as big as it used to be, last year, but we don't see a risk of further reduction. Things are very stable. The government is providing support for general aviation. At a recent Civil Aviation Authority meeting in Dubai, they came up with initiatives and new regulations to make things easier for civil aviation to operate between countries here in the Middle East.
"The DWC VIP Terminal is very luxurious. We see comments from the celebrities and VIPs passing through. They are astonished at what they see, not from a terms-of-service point of view, so much as from the appearance of the general aviation hall and the FBOs available there. If I were a private jet owner, I would demand to land in DWC, not at Dubai International."
Some owners might still want to land at DXB, where UAS's head office is located, or in nearby Sharjah, he said, but the majority of the traffic is now going to DWC, particularly with the approach of the Expo 2020 event that will be held there next October.
"In my opinion, more than 90 percent of [business aircraft] flights are going to DWC," he said. "It's more convenient. You don't need a slot to go there. Here at DXB, it's always congested. You could have a problem. Operators would rather fly out of a location they can use whenever they want, not to mention the VIP treatment. The infrastructure, not only of the airport, is good, too, including the roads into town. They are developing the whole Dubai South area. It is going to be a city within a city by 2020."
Optimism for the Middle East and Africa
UAS is bullish on the Middle East. "We have a lot of confidence in aviation in this region. When they were receiving [over 40 new] aircraft [deliveries] a year, the region was peaking. I think things are rationalizing now. I don't know about the statistics, but 10 [new] aircraft [deliveries] a year sounds like a reasonable number for this region."
Hosari is also optimistic about the Saudi market. "We're seeing positive signs, after a period of uncertainty," he said. "The first Saudi Airshow has definitely set new expectations for its business aviation market. It's a market with large untapped potential and it has always been in our priorities."
He said UAS's business in Africa is going well. "We have a one-guy operation in every country we are in," he said. "There are more than 15 people available in 15 countries. They are all managed by our Johannesburg headquarters. Business is growing.
"In Africa, we have substantial traffic. In these 15 countries, we're handling more than 100 movements a month. Clients might be using existing FBOs, but they still need somebody from UAS to supervise the process. These flights are coming to Africa from all over the world—from the U.S., Europe, and China."
UAS has close relations to the China market through its ties to Deer Jet, which bought a majority stake in the Dubai-based company in late 2016. "Everybody is trying to invest in Africa. China's Belt and Road Initiative goes through Africa. Last year, at the China-Africa Cooperation Forum, China announced it would be providing $60 billion in financial support to Africa. We see Chinese, Turkish, French, British, and Dutch operators going into Africa. Mostly, they are industrial company executives flying in.
"Nigeria and South Africa are incredibly strong, and Rwanda is growing really rapidly. I was surprised to see that, recently, they launched their first satellite—this country [was] at civil war only recently. I think they are on the right track."
UAS is also watching mature markets closely. "Currently, we do the usual trip support services for our European and U.S. clients. Business is increasing, especially with our new products: UAS Link Evolution and UAS Flight Evolution."
Hosari said the U.S. market displays different dynamics than elsewhere, with the company's focus there on trip support and technology. "The dynamics and requirements of clients in the U.S. are totally different from those in the Middle East and Europe," he said. "They have a more do-it-yourself attitude and therefore are very demanding when it comes to technology.
"That's why our technology development headquarters is in the U.S., [and] why we're continuously developing our client portal UAS TMSevolution. This is all being handled from the U.S. We've been in the U.S. for more than seven years. The U.S. office supports the South American client base as well."

Reading Round-up 2013: week 33
Posted December 6, 2013on:
Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen
When solid, dependable Auden decides to spend the summer at the beach with her dad, stepmom, and new half sister, no one is more surprised than Auden herself. She's not sure she made the right choice, what with Thisbe crying at all hours and Heidi and her father fighting, but neither does she feel up to going back home for the summer and watching her mother flirt with – and then discard – yet another graduate student. So when Heidi asks Auden if she might be willing to do the accounting for her boutique while she's out on maternity leave, Auden jumps at the excuse to spend a few hours away from the house and alone in the quiet office in the back of the store instead. Auden doesn't plan on making friends with the girls who work there, or on spending her summer collecting the childhood experiences she never got – like learning to ride a bike. But since when does life go according to plan?
Reviews of Dessen's work (mine included) tend to make it sound like if you've read one Dessen novel, you've read them all. While there's certainly some truth to that, I have to say that I like her more recent work much better than her earlier novels. She may be telling variations on the same story over and over, but it's a good story, and her writing has definitely improved with practice. Along for the Ride has just the right mix of friendship, romance, and family; the characters are still unique and a little bit odd at times, but they feel more like actual humans and less like people playing parts; and while the ending is predictable, Auden's path to that point is less so. All of which makes Along for the Ride a fun, light, sweet novel.

Country singers criticize Chase Rice as 'selfish' for concert in front of hundreds in Tennessee
Country singer Chase Rice played his first in-person concert in months on Saturday night and appeared thrilled to do so. "We back," he wrote in an Instagram story with a smiley face sunglasses emoji, accompanied by video of hundreds of people singing along to his recent hit, "Eyes on You."
But on social media, many were horrified to see images of a packed crowd, with no masks and no social distancing - especially as the concert took place in Tennessee, which is experiencing a significant spike in coronavirus infections. As the videos started circulating on Twitter, other country singers took the unusual step of calling out Rice by name.
"Imagine being selfish enough to put thousands of people's health at risk, not to mention the potential ripple effect, and play a NORMAL country concert right now. @ChaseRiceMusic," Kelsea Ballerini tweeted to her million followers. "We all want (and need) to tour. We just care about our fans and their families enough to wait."
Mickey Guyton responded and included Rice's Twitter handle: "An absolute selfish act. Shame on him." Maren Morris replied to one of Guyton's tweets and simply said, "No masks," with head-exploding and frowning-face emojis.
Bobby Bones, the format's most powerful radio personality, tweeted the video and wrote, "Aside from the obvious .... probably also heavy liability here. Just talked to two different attorneys about this."
On Monday evening, Rice released a video to his Instagram account to address the concert: "Everybody had a blast, but then once I posted the video, a lot of people seeing that online had a big problem with how the show looked, how the show went down," he said. "And I understand, there's a lot of varying opinions, a lot of different opinions on covid-19, how it works with live music, crowds and what all that looks like."
He continued: "My biggest thing is y'all. Y'all are why I get to write songs, y'all are why I get to tour the country, why I get to do live shows . . . you guys are everything to me, so your safety is a huge, huge priority."
Rice went on to say that he has a drive-in concert scheduled for Friday, and that while he encouraged everyone to "get out of your cars, get out of your trucks and party with me," he also added that fans should "please go by the rules, please go by the laws" and stay confined in their own spaces. "The safer we are now, the quicker that we get to get to actual normal live shows, which I know we all want," he said.
The concert took place at Historic Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary, a former prison turned tourist destination that has a distillery, paranormal tours and a concert series called "Live at Brushy" - it's located in Petros, Tenn., a 2½-hour drive from Nashville. Brian May, vice president of the Brushy Mountain Group, said in a statement Sunday evening that fewer than 1,000 people attended Rice's show, even though the venue's maximum capacity is 10,000, so there was "ample space in the outdoor lawn area for fans to spread out to their own comfort level." The venue abided by all local requirements and "numerous precautions were taken," he said, including temperature checks for guests, free hand sanitizer, and masks and gloves for staff.
However, he added, in the wake of Rice's concert, the organizers are currently "reevaluating the series from top to bottom," including further safety measures, changing the setup to drive-in concerts, or postponing shows entirely. "We were unable to further enforce the physical distancing recommended in the signage posted across the property and are looking into future alternative scenarios that further protect the attendees, artists and their crews and our employees," May said. The next "Live at Brushy" show is Sawyer Brown on July 18, followed by Kip Moore on Aug. 1.
Adrienne Brown, a Nashville resident who attended the show, said the experience was "wonderful" - in her view, Rice's Instagram story videos made the audience look more packed than it was in person. While a crowd of people did stand around the stage, she said, she and her friends mostly stayed in the back of the lawn.
Brown said she understands why some think it's too soon to hold a concert, but she was comfortable with the fact that it was an open-air space, and fans had the option to social distance. "The people that chose to go up to the front, that's who Kelsea [Ballerini] needs to be talking to," she said.
Still, the the images of people standing so close together in the middle of a pandemic unnerved many observers. Chris Janson also posted Instagram videos of a big crowd at Gordy's Hwy 30 Music Fest in Idaho on Saturday night, and deleted them after he started to see criticism. He apparently blocked Morris on Twitter ("ummmmmm what did I DO?!" she tweeted, with three cry-laughing emojis), as well as Whitney Pastorek, a Nashville manager who previously worked for Janson's management company and tweeted that the scene at Janson's concert was "reprehensible."
"Our industry was a shining light of what happens when people place the well-being of society over their own pocketbooks. We did it right and didn't complain," Pastorek wrote on Instagram, referring to the many Nashville acts who canceled tours this year. "But even if it meant I could earn back every lost dollar and every second of lost health insurance I would not work with an act who decided to jeopardize the health of their fans (and their fans' families and communities) the way Chase Rice and Chris Janson did last night. It's abhorrent."
A representative for Janson's record label said Janson "was one of two dozen performers to fulfill a contractual obligation after being told that last weekend's event would adhere to all safety and social distancing protocols." In March, Rice, whose record labels did not respond to a request for comment, vented his frustration about canceled tours with a Facebook post.
"If it were up to me I wouldn't cancel one damn show, but it ain't. Today a lot of tours and shows got canceled or moved. I'm not throwing blame to any promoters or decision makers on this, they gotta protect themselves and the well being of people, so I get all sides of this deal. I personally, choose not live scared, especially of something that I can't really control," he wrote. "THANK YOU to fans all across the world. This thing has made me realize that there is no music without y'all. If I've gotta break it down to just me and a guitar on the bed of a truck and play to whoever shows up I'll do it, love y'all."

It is a deliberate improvement/regression due to the changes in 2.111 -
JENKINS-46652. I cannot fix it on the plugin side. CC Jesse Glick Daniel Beck
Actually this particular case is not related to
JENKINS-46652, sorry for confusion. Likely the plugin's extension point impls are not longer being invoked for the Pipeline flyweight master.
Anyway, execution of Pipeline root task should always happen on the master. It just won't be able to be really executed on any other machine due to the current Pipeline system design
I think it's safe to reject this one. Without a node block, there's no work done, so no need to control access.
(And you should never whitelist APIs that would circumvent that restriction.)

Eiffage Infrastructure Branch's Safety Division has developed a ground-breaking method named Analysis Safe in partnership with academic research laboratories IFSTTAR and CEREMA. The method enables asphalt aggregates to be characterized without using perchloroethylene (PCE).
This CMR-classified chemical solvent is dangerous for both human health and the environment. Up until now, it has been used to separate bitumen and mineral from the materials derived from demolished road surfaces, during analysis prior to aggregate recycling in the new asphalt pavement formulas.
Eiffage Infrastructures, CEREMA Méditerranée and the IFSTTAR with the participation of CARSAT Centre Est have decided to use different technology to carry out this analysis, and have developed Analysis Safe. Analysis Safe completely replaces PCE with a combination of two methods based on physical principles, notably infrared spectroscopy. Eiffage Route Centre Est's laboratories took part in developing Analysis Safe, and have confirmed the new method's performance. Analysis Safe, which offers many health and environmental advantages by removing the risk of exposure to, and contamination by, PCE, is also very efficient in terms of speed. The analysis only takes 10 minutes, compared to 2 hours for the previous formula.
Analysis Safe echoes the official partnership between Eiffage Infrastructures and the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) as part of the «Healthy Workplaces Manage Dangerous Substances» campaign.

AKRON, Ohio - Rochelle Finney says she was scared, worried and heartbroken as she ran from her sister's house to Robinson Community Learning Center after hearing that her 5-year-old son was missing.
Her mother, Toni Jones, said she called the school and notified them that she would be picking up Ashon Robinson, expecting him to be in the office when she arrived.
"When I got there I saw five little boys in the office, and I looked and I said, 'Where's Ashon Robinson. I'm here to pick him up.' And the secretary said he's already been signed out," Jones said. She told FOX 8 News she was willing to give the school the benefit of the doubt and assumed her grandson was still somewhere inside the school.
But as time passed, the concern grew.
"It's like five after three. School lets out at 2:30 and you are paging him over the loudspeaker. So, 'Ashon Robinson, Ashon Robinson, come to the office.' No Ashon Robinson. Then another teacher came in and said, or another school representative, 'I checked the bathrooms and I can't find him in the bathroom,'" Jones said.
Jones said she called her daughter, who ran to the school wondering the whole time what could have happened to her son.
"You expect to send your kids to school, you expect them to be safe... You would think that's the best place for your kid while you are at work and for that not to happen, it caused a lot of panic, stress, a lot of pain, a lot of pain," Finney said.
Security cameras at the school show Finney coming into the office, taking off her jacket then coming around the counter toward the school secretary.
The video shows Finney attempting to throw punches and kicking the secretary until she is quickly restrained by the school's principal.
A police report said Finney was throwing chairs and damaged a window blind during the outburst.
More than 90 minutes passed before Jones, who left to try and find the boy, the school asked her if she wanted to call police or if she wanted them to make the call.
"They just kept saying, 'We're sorry. We are going to look. We're sorry.' But by that time you can say all the sorries, I understand that, but I have to find my grandson," Jones said.
She found the boy standing in the front yard of his home about a half a mile from the school. He left the building unescorted and walked the whole way alone.
Police did arrive at the school, where they arrested Finney and charged her with criminal damaging and assault.
They said the secretary, who was not badly injured, was taken to a local hospital and treated for a panic attack.
"I see a mother who is emotional, she's upset. She doesn't know what's going on with her child," said attorney Eddie Sipplen, who is representing Finney.
"We can all sit back and armchair quarterback as to she should have did this, but until it's your child, who are we to say that her response was appropriate or not?" Sipplen said, adding that among the things that bothers him is that a 5-year-old was able to leave the school and walk alone through a neighborhood he describes as having high traffic and high crime.
"We have to address that and we will," said Akron City School District spokesman Mark Williamson.
"Our security measures are tight, but when we find out that something like this happens, we address it right away. And we will, and we probably have by now at this point in time," Williamson said. "But I certainly can't say that what she did was justified to go behind the desk and physically assault an employee."
"I'm protective because this is my daughter and I see now that she is being displayed like a little crazy mother, who just came up to the school and jumped on the secretary because she thought her secretary was missing," said Jones. She insisted her grandson was missing for more than 90 minutes and Finney didn't just "think" he was missing.
The assault charge filed against Finney is a felony because the secretary is a school employee.

NATURALLY, Ireland's Pirate Queen Granuaile is central to author Des Ekin's quest to uncover our swashbuckling past. Whether his claim to have debunked the 'many myths' about the 16th-century seafarer, who is reputed to be be buried within the walls of the Cistercian Abbey on Clare Island, will be accepted by her armies of fans is a matter for discussion – after reading this fascinating book, of course.
'Ireland's Pirate Trail: A Quest to Uncover our Swashbuckling Past' is the culmination of Ekin's lifelong fascination 'with freebooters and bucanneers' and involved a trip right round the coast 'in search of true-life adventure stories'. This seaside odyssey 'uncovered an incredible forgotten history of swashbuckling sea-bandits, mutinies, massacres, captured princesses and buried treasure'.
The blurb says it all: "Alongside infamous buccaneers such as William Lamport of Wexford and Kinsale's Anne Bonny, the scourge of the Caribbean, this book highlights lesser-known pirates whose bloodstained careers have long been forgotten." There are the 'brutal Viking sea-raiders' and the 'Irish privateers' who sailed off to help win independence in the USA.
But for Co Mayo readers the chapters on our heroine, Granuaile are fascinating. For the author it all started at the little mainland pier at Roonagh harbour.
"On this perfect May morning, the surface of Clew Bay is a deep Mediterranean blue, reflecting and intensifying the robin's-egg shade of an almost cloudless sky. Drifts of mauve thrift tumble chaotically down the stone walls of Roonagh Harbour as our ferry chugs off towards Clare Island."
Observing some of the tourists aboard the ferry, he notes that they are 'in a sense, pilgrims: they have travelled from all over the world to worship at the shrine of a famous female pirate named Granuaile'.
On arrival, the caravan of tourists trek back along the road to 'the abbey' – dubbed a misnomer, by the author, since it was 'never more than an out-chapel to a mainland parish church'. Commenting on the medieval wallpaintings, he then writes: "Along one wall is the famous canopy tomb that is reputed to hold the remains of Grace O'Malley. Curiously, the sober archaeological leaflet in the church says nothing at all about the Granuaile connection. It says the tomb is the last resting place of an O'Malley lord. There may be a clue in the fact that the plaque alongside, bearing the family coat of arms and cited by eighteenth-century sources as proof of her burial there, actually post-dates Grace by nearly a hundred years."
Thus the scene is set for Edkin's fascinating chapter (almost 30 pages) entitled: 'Grania Mania', a celebration of her truly fascinating life with a list of popular 'myths' challenged.
"For the benefit of those who aren't familiar with her story, Granuaile was a notorious sixteenth-century Irish pirate, whose plundering exploits off Ireland's west coast infuriated not only her neighbours but also the English colonists. 'The affrighted natives trembled at her name,' wrote one early historian, and an English viceroy agreed, saying she was 'a terror to all merchantmen who sailed the Atlantic'."
However, Ekin adds 'the strange thing' is that details of her actual piracy 'are scant and sketchy'. He goes on then to tell her story using the broader narrative of the O'Malley clan and their exploits, as well as specific historic references.
This is not a history book, however, and thus draws very personal conclusions by the author about what may have been myth and reality.
Like his revelations about the many other legendary stories of pirates and their exploits around the coast of Ireland, it is clear by the colour and vibrancy of each chapter that the author is fascinated by his subject matter.
About the author
A former journalist and a native of Co Down, Des Ekin began his career covering The Troubles. After moving to Dublin, he worked as an assistant editor and political correspondent at The Sunday World until 2012.
His book, 'The Stolen Village' (2006), was about a 17th-century pirate raid on the Co Cork village of Baltimore and how the band of Algerian marauders carried its inhabitants off to a life of slavery in north Africa. It was shortlisted Book of the Decade Awards in the Bord Gáis Energy Irish Book Awards 2010.
'Ireland's Pirate Trail: A Quest to Uncover our Swashbuckling Past', by Des Ekin, is published by O'Brien Press and is on sale for €16.99.
