The suit alleged substantial gender disparities in Proskauer's partnership, and accused high profile men at the firm—chairman Joseph Leccese and securities partner Ralph Ferrara—of making inappropriate comments about Bertram's appearance.
Proskauer Partner Connie Bertram Receives $50M For Gender Bias Suit
Proskauer Rose partner Connie Bertram and her firm have agreed to end the $50 million gender discrimination lawsuit that Bertram lodged against the law firm last year.
The parties filed a stipulation of dismissal late Friday in Washington, D.C., federal court, saying they agreed to have the case tossed in its entirety. Further details on the agreement weren't publicly available in the court docket.
Kathleen McKenna of Proskauer, who led the firm's defense, didn't immediately respond to a request for comment, while a firm spokesperson said only that the matter has been resolved. David Sanford of Sanford Heisler Sharp, who represented Bertram, said in a statement, "unfortunately, we are unable to comment."
The stipulation to dismiss the case follows a mediation process begun under an April court order. In the months since then, the two sides asked multiple times to push back a deadline to update U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson on the status of the case and mediation.
The case landed in court in May 2017, when a then-unnamed Proskauer lawyer—initially dubbed "Jane Doe" and described as a Washington-based labor and employment partner—filed her complaint seeking at least $50 million in damages.
After proceeding as a Jane Doe lawsuit for nearly a year, Bertram in April revealed her identity in an amended complaint that also added some claims to the suit, which claimed Proskauer "consistently underpays its top female talent."
Bertram, who remains a partner at the firm, has served as head of the D.C. labor and employment practice, co-head of the whistleblower and retaliation group, and head of the government contractor compliance group. As of Saturday afternoon, Proskauer continued to list those leadership roles in Bertram's online firm biography.
The suit alleged substantial gender disparities in Proskauer's partnership, and accused high profile men at the firm—chairman Joseph Leccese and securities partner Ralph Ferrara—of making inappropriate comments about Bertram's appearance.
"Proskauer excluded plaintiff from client matters, declined to allow plaintiff to pitch or to participate in any employment litigation matter for firm clients, rebuffed her efforts to assume a greater leadership role at the firm, tolerated and facilitated an environment where she was targeted for harassment and humiliation by firm leadership, demeaned and belittled her to her peers and clients, and refused to rectify pay disparities," the suit alleged.
Proskauer has strongly denied the allegations from the case's earliest stages. Answering Bertram's amended complaint, the firm in May accused her of relying on "cherry-picked" statistics to support her claims of unfair pay.
"She focuses on those metrics most favorable to her, ignores others that expose weaknesses in the profitability of her practice, and affords no recognition to non-metric factors critical to" compensation decisions, Proskauer wrote in May. "Plaintiff also ignores the financial rewards that she obtained by joining Proskauer."
The firm also argued that Bertram's status as an equity partner at the firm makes her a business owner who should not be able to invoke anti-discrimination laws designed to protect employees. Bertram's lawyers have countered that "rank-and-file" partners at the firm have little control over its strategic or business decisions and effectively serve as employees as defined under anti-bias laws.
In March Jackson denied a bid by Proskauer to defeat the case on summary judgment. The judge set the two sides toward a period of limited discovery focused on the key initial question in the case: whether Bertram should be considered an employee.
The judge in April laid out a schedule for that discovery, but also directed the two sides to mediation with a senior judge under an alternative dispute resolution proceeding established in the court's local rules.
Friday's dismissal comes almost exactly six months after plaintiffs lawyers at Sanford Heisler reached a settlement with Chadbourne & Parke and successor firm Norton Rose Fulbright in a similar case brought by a former Chadbourne partner, Kerrie Campbell. That deal involved at least $3 million in payments to Campbell and two other women, and Chadbourne also issued an unusual statement lauding Campbell's contribution "to important ongoing dialogue within the profession about gender issues."

Annie Tabura – one of the senior staff with MTN Uganda that were controversially arrested and deported from Uganda at the beginning of last week – has categorically called allegations that she was spying for Rwanda "rubbish"!
Describing her ordeal at the hands of Uganda's Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI) in an interview that lasted more than two hours, Annie Tabura says that when she got back to Rwanda and read "the rubbish that they had written", she wants to make some things clear. "It is MTN that sent me to Uganda, not the government of Rwanda!' she said.
"MTN is a multinational that rotates its employees any way it sees fit," says Annie who was General Manager, Sales and Distribution at MTN Uganda. She remarks that the company rotates all its employees, even Ugandans!, just like any other multinationals in its employ to where their skills may be best deployed.
Also, she added, "I and Olivier Prentout (a Frenchman) were in the commercial department. We were involved in sales figures, growth of the customer base and so on, so we get nowhere near systems.
"It is therefore just false to say that we "were listening to conversations! Where would we even get the time?"
Annie – who throughout the interview cut the figure of a traumatized person, sometimes breaking into tears, but managing to compose herself – disclosed that throughout all the time from when they arrested her at her workplace, up to when they took her to the cells, and from there to the airport, the CMI men never told her a single reason why she was under arrest.
It reached a point when she began badgering them, asking them what she had done to deserve the treatment they were meting out on her, but "they told me nothing at all!"
A nasty surprise at Entebbe
The story of Annie's tribulations in her last hours in Kampala reads like a script for a bad Nollywood film.
To listen to her tell it is to feel pity for Uganda, given the picture that emerges of how the country's "security operatives" work. The whole saga paints a clear picture of country being run in lawless ways – with security organs such as CMI and others still addicted to the same methods as those of Idi Amin's State Research Bureau or Obote's National Security Agency (NASA).
For Tabura and Prentout, their particular ordeal began when they arrived at Entebbe Airport in Uganda on a flight from Rwanda where they had been attending a company conference for a few days. That was on Saturday 19 this month.
Tabura says when she presented her passport to an immigration official at one of the counters, he examined the document, asking her "how long are you going to stay in Uganda?" She replied, "I am a resident."
Annie says the next thing the man said was that there was something he was not seeing clearly. "But you can check in my passport; I have a valid work permit," Annie told him. So he kept examining her passport, "then he finally wrote 'resident'".
"The guy was talking to me; saying things like 'are you a good neighbor or a bad neighbor!" Tabura says. That in hindsight should have started the alarm bells ringing in her mind.
By then she was getting concerned because Prentout "was spending too much time in one place, in front of the same counter and he had not moved an inch since presenting his passport".
So Annie walked over to him and asked, "what's wrong; why are you taking so long?"
Tabura says her colleague kept insisting, "everything will be OK Annie, we have done nothing wrong!" But OP – as his colleagues call him by the initials of his names at MTN Uganda – was puzzled too. Even the official supposed to be processing his passport had stepped from his counter.
Finally Prentout insisted Annie go, "since each of us have drivers. I will join you later." Annie agreed but she became more concerned when upon leaving she noticed someone had moved Olivier from the original counter and now he was standing in a more secluded place, in front of what looked to be some small offices.
Annie joined her driver but on her way, a few minutes from the airport, when she called his phone it was off. It was all strange and a bit alarming, but Annie still could not bring herself to believe anything could be wrong. Perhaps the battery of her colleague's phone was down.
It in fact happened that Prentout's driver became really concerned after waiting so long, yet his boss was not coming out. So he went in and inquired, "only to be informed that Olivier had been arrested!" (They would keep Prentout in the airport, until Monday night, when they boarded him on a KLM flight back to his country).
Annie's nightmare grows
Tabura was in for another shock soon. That is when she got a call from her home – Speke Apartments in the Kololo suburb of the Ugandan capital – by management informing her that the police wanted to talk to her. "It was the deputy commander of some police station that I did not catch very well, looking for me," Annie narrates.
It was afternoon and she was at the home of a friend, so she told management to tell the police she wasn't around.
"They hung up, but a few seconds later called again, saying, 'he is here; he wants to talk to you.'" She says she told the man she was not around, and asked if they could talk on the phone, but he refused.
"I then realized things were serious; they had taken my colleague and now they were coming for me! What was this about!"? Tabura asked herself.
She decided to call her CEO and said, "You are the CEO of this organization, so you must be knowing what is going on! They arrested Olivier and now they are coming for me!"
MTN Uganda's CEO, Wim Vanhelleputte
The CEO replied, "Annie, I wish I knew, but I have no clue!" When she got back to her apartment, where she lives with her children, in the evening, the police had left. But in the morning as she was taking the kids to school she says she saw two police cars parked in the compound, full of police people, "as if they are going for a war!"
"I thought, oh my goodness; these guys are coming for me! I don't want them to arrest me in front of the kids!" To Annie's amazement however, the cops rushed out of their cars and straight passed her to another car. It was apparent they did not even know the person they were supposed to arrest!
Annie drove away, relieved that at least they wouldn't take her in front of her children. Yet her relief did not last long.
The police were already at MTN head offices looking for her. She had gone for a meeting at another of the company's offices, MTN BAT. But she soon reasoned, "I cannot hide forever; let me face these people and ask what they want from me!"
So she called her CEO and told him she was coming. "He said OK, but wait a little bit as we make sure our company lawyers are here so that we talk to the Police in their presence."
However when she arrived at her place of work, she saw that it was surrounded by the police. They had come in two cars; a police car and a civilian vehicle. When she got out of hers in the basement parking, about 10 police, some in uniform, some in civilian attire came running towards her.
"Are you Madam Annie?" one asked. He appeared to be the leader of the group. She said yes.
"You are under arrest!" he barked.
All right, Annie said, "where is the arrest warrant?"
They did not produce a warrant, Tabura says. He only said, "Just follow us."
The man wasn't in uniform. Also, it was the same person that had talked to her on the phone telling her he was deputy commander of a police station that she has forgotten which.
The police vehicle was a pickup, and the civilian one was a van with tinted windows. Tabura says they bundled her with three of the security operatives – two men and one woman – in the back seat of the van. They were carrying her off with no kind of procedure at all.
She says it was highly uncomfortable in the back seat with the three police.
Her misery however was compounded when one of the men told her to bend forward and put her head between her legs. "Already it was badly crowded and I didn't know how I could do what they were ordering.
"But the guy said, 'Madam, this is not a joke – you have to do it!"
"I do not know how I did it, but I managed though it was torture!"
She said the commander told her they were going to Jinja, so Annie thought they were taking her to prison in Jinja. Fortunately for her, she had taken the precaution of apprising the Rwandan High Commission in Kampala of her situation, and she had instructed her CEO to call the embassy in case something like this happened.
It came to her as a great relief when, about five minutes into their journey, the commander "got a call from someone, which seemed to confuse him." All the time Annie was in her highly uncomfortable position but she could hear some of the talk in the car.
She guessed the MTN people must have informed the High Commission of what had happened and they in turn must have called Ugandan authorities. "Right about then the commander told the driver to change direction." But from then, the guy kept getting phone calls, and telling the driver to stop, upon which he would get out to talk, Annie narrates. Then they would change direction. At some point Annie thought the pain of her uncomfortable position would kill her.
She begged that they allow her to sit upright, no matter how briefly. "OK you can but no more than one second!" one of the men said as he shoved his gun in her side.
After driving around for a period of time some of the men began saying they were hungry. So the driver stopped at a shop. They bought something to eat in the shop, and came out. They also came out with two handkerchiefs, which they knotted together and blindfolded Annie.
"Then they also put handcuffs on me; it was as if they were just remembering!" says the lady who at that point in her tale is struggling with tears.
The vehicle drove off again
CMI jail cells
"When we next stopped and they removed the blindfold, I lost hope! We were in a place of overgrown grass and derelict vehicles that looked like they had not moved for years. I thought they had brought me there to kill me!" By then they had long taken her two phones away from her, she says.
This was the Kireka Police Station for CMI!, they told her shortly. Uganda Military intelligence controlled this place. Next they began to record the items she had on her, in a book. "The guy who was writing down my stuff on a desk, when I saw his badge" it said: "State House." What have I done, Annie asked herself fearfully.
Next they ordered her to remove her shoes, which she did, and they also told her to remove her belt. "Only then did I learn that they were going to put me in a jail cell!" Tabura shivers.
Two men led her to her cell, which she describes as small and very smelly. There was a small mattress on the floor in the corner with a dirty bedcover, and some stinking toilets. After a few minutes she realized there were people in an adjacent cell.
They were speaking in Kinyarwanda. "Real Kinyarwanda and I thought, oh my God, what will happen to them!"
One of them tried to speak to her, and offered her some bottled water but she declined.
Annie's story of those Banyarwanda who happened to be locked up in a CMI jail tallies with the fact of the many abducted, and "disappeared" Banyarwanda whom they arrest with no warrant and hold incommunicado.
To Annie's relief, after some hours in the cell, the men that had locked her up came back and told her, "We are taking you home!"
They gave her back some of her stuff (they still had her phones and bank credit cards) and drove with her to the airport. "I once again asked them: what have I done that you have treated me like this and disregarded my human rights? What are you charging me with?"
She says that the men, and woman told her nothing. The woman told her she was "only on duty".
At the airport, the Rwandair flight they had booked her on was a few minutes from takeoff. The CMI fellows completed the deportation procedures, handed her back her phones and credit cards, and gave her passport to Rwandair officials. Annie boarded, still wondering at what she had done that her life be so disrupted.
It was the following day, on Tuesday that Uganda Police (same as CMI in this case) issued the press release that has become infamous by now.
The statement, signed by Uganda Police Spokeswoman Polly Namaye said: "Security agencies in collaboration with immigration officers "had been investigating the two foreigners 'over their engagement in acts which compromise national security'.
"We strongly believe that the deportation of the two foreigners who were using their employment as tools to achieve their ill motives has enabled us to disrupt their intended plans of compromising national security."
These statements came under immediate public scrutiny because "they just did not sound right". Doubt was raised by the fact Prentout and Tabura had been detained only a brief period and deported, with no trial. How was that possible for people accused of such grave offences?
Annie Tabura is adamant these are total fabrications, reiterating her innocence.
The publics, of both Uganda and Rwanda, are only now learning more about the "money struggles" between the Kampala administration and MTN. The multinational's license expired September last year, and they've been renewing for thirty days, or sixty days since then. The first time, the government told them they had to pay US$ 100 million, which they reduced to 58 million, with condition they invest a further US$ 200 million. Talks are still ongoing.
"What has happened to MTN whose officials have been arrested or deported – including the Company's general manager, Mobile Money, Elsa Muzzolini in addition to Annie and Olivier – is a game of extortion by a regime inner clique. This clique wants a much bigger cut!" said an analyst anonymously. "The message to MTN is, pay up and your troubles will end!"
Another observer added: "in the case of Madam Annie, the regime saw an additional opportunity in its continuous campaigns to harass Rwandans, while tarnishing Rwanda with false claims that Kigali is causing insecurity in Uganda.
"That is what falsely arresting Tabura (in particular) was about; it is the endless efforts at mudslinging Rwanda," concluded the analyst.

This year will be the second when we celebrate our end-of-school worship service on the front steps of our church. I like these worship services very much. We live in a time and culture that is more and more alienated from mainline church life. Oftentimes I wished we could provide something like an "open house" for regular Sunday morning worship. So many of our neighbors have no idea any more what our worship services are like. Well, our outdoor service is a great opportunity to provide our neighbors with some transparency. In addition, it provides our children with an opportunity to claim their importance.
It is, therefore, really important that this year's open air worship will be one of the best attended of the year.
Please make every effort to come; your presence will be a sign to the neighborhood. Our open-air service will take place on Jun 21st at 10:30 a.m. Its spiritual theme will be the defeat of mighty Goliath by the boy, David, who later became the famous king.
On the Sunday following this service, we will resume our traditional summer worship time of 9:30 a.m.

Tailings & Mine Waste Management. The process water lock up and increasing land take needed by conventional tailings management are pushing us to find more advanced systems, such as paste and filtered tailings. These new methods are designed to maximize water recovery and minimize our environmental footprint.
Mine tailings are the ore waste of mines, and are typically a mud like material. Worldwide, the storage and handling of tailings is a major environmental issue. Many tailings are toxic and must be kept perpetualy isolated from the environment.
Tailings is a critical consideration for the design of slurry transportation systems. Mine operators are continually looking for solutions for the safe transport, storage and disposal of tailings, as well as converting tailings into construction materials and mine backfill.
Mar 27, 2019·Tailings dams have been used for over a hundred years and are the most common disposal system for mining waste, having really taken off in the second half of the 20 th century as technology improved. They enable large scale and long term storage of waste from the mineral extraction process, explains Butler.

Our expertise includes a wide range of tailings and mine waste products and hands on knowledge of proven management techniques under a broad range of climatic conditions.
Mine Tailings. Tailings are finely ground rocks and other mineral waste as a result of mineral processing.

Aug 03, 2016·Mine tailings disposal, and its impact on water usage, is an important concern for any mining company. The challenge today, whether extracting aluminum, zinc, gold or iron ore, is how to dispose of tailings material such that it is contained and stable, while maximizing water reuse and minimizing surface footprint.
Tailings Slurry pipelines are commonly used to transfer mine residue from the processing plant to the tailings storage facility. Historically these pipelines were designed to operate at low solids concentrations, however as dewatering technology improved and solids concentrations increased, residue disposal systems have become significantly more complex.
The tailings disposal facility was designed to divert surface and ground water away from the tailings stack. Internal drainage structures incorporated in the construction of
Tailings, also called mine dumps, culm dumps, slimes, tails, refuse, leach residue or slickens, terra cone (terrikon), are the materials left over after the process of separating the valuable fraction from the uneconomic fraction of an ore.Tailings are distinct from overburden, which is the waste rock or other material that overlies an ore or mineral body and is displaced during mining without

STD systems have been developed to place mine tailings deep in the sea, where this tailings disposal option has the least environmental impact. The options for tailing disposal in general can be listed as 1. Mine backfill (open pit or underground) 2. Surface discharge (to a tailings impoundment) 3. River discharge 4. STD to lake 5.

John Swinney, Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Constitution and Economy, delivered Scotland's 2016/17 Budget on 16 December 2015.
The draft Budget in Scotland is typically presented in September, but it was delayed this year due to the Westminster Spending Review and Autumn Statement in November.
This is the second Draft Budget in which spending plans have utilised the devolved powers granted in the Scotland Act 2012. Since 2015/16 some of Scotland's revenue has been generated from Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) and Scottish Landfill Tax (SLfT); two taxes established by the Scottish Parliament to replace existing UK taxes. For the first time in 2016/17, the Scottish Parliament will be able to set the Scottish rate of income tax (SRIT).
This Draft Budget was far from revolutionary and there were a lot of reoccurring announcements, but the Scottish Parliament are undoubtedly getting to grips with their new powers and implementing the necessary infrastructure. It's a relief that they have not been seduced by the excitement of their extended authority and rushed into any hasty decisions. The real test will be in 2017 when there could be even more extensive control over income tax.
The Headlines
The two big tax announcements were surrounding income tax and property taxes:
Scottish Rate of Income Tax
Swinney announced plans for a Scottish Rate of Income Tax of 10%, which would apply from 6 April 2016. This means that the income tax rates that apply to Scottish income taxpayers will effectively remain the same as those that apply to income taxpayers in the rest of the UK.
There might be disappointment that the Scottish Parliament did not take full advantage of the new powers and set a lower SRIT. But given the concerns about the robustness of the framework surrounding SRIT, keeping the rate effectively unchanged will allow taxpayers and HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) some breathing space to decide on residency issues and ensure systems are functioning correctly.
Land and Buildings Transaction Tax
Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) will remain at current levels. This should ensure that 93% of home buyers either pay less than under UK stamp duty land tax or pay no tax at all.
However, a LBTT 'second-homes' supplement of 3% will apply to purchases of additional residential properties from April 2016, including buy-to-let properties.
Other measures
Some of the other measures proposed by John Swinney included:
- Council tax to be frozen for a ninth successive year
- A review of the business rates system to be kick-started
- A commitment to increase free childcare for three-to-four year-olds to 1,140 hours per year in the next parliament
- College funding to be protected, and commitment to free tuition to continue
- A commitment to increase free childcare for three and four-year-olds to 1,140 hours per year in the next parliament
- Work to begin on construction of the Dalry by-pass in Ayrshire and improvements to the Haudagin roundabout in Aberdeen
- An additional £55m for Police Scotland, which follows criticism of the effect of merging the eight regional forces into a single national force
- An extra £45m next year to fund improvements and develop new models of primary health care
- An increase of £90m in the budget for affordable housing for next year
Proposed changes to Income Tax powers
The Scotland Bill 2015 proposes the further devolution of additional tax and spending powers to the Scottish Parliament, such as the power to set all rates and thresholds of bands, with the exception of the personal allowance.There is an impression that this flexibility could lead to having a non-uniform SRIT across the different bands.
The Bill also proposes that the Scottish Government will receive all revenue from income tax on non-dividend and non-savings income arising in Scotland rather than the proportion currently allowed for under the Scotland Act 2012.
Income tax will, however, remain a shared tax. HMRC will still be responsible for the collection and management of income tax in Scotland and the responsibility for defining the income tax base will continue to rest with the UK Government. These additional powers would give the Scottish Government greater flexibility over options to pursue an income tax policy which could be better aligned with its principles based approach to taxation.
The Scotland Bill 2015, at the time of publishing the Draft Budget, is still subject to consideration and amendment by the UK Parliament. It is, therefore, not possible to give full clarity on the powers and functions being transferred and the costs associated with the delivery of these until the Bill is passed.

IFAJ Congress 2014 - new options for Guild members
New options are available for Guild members wanting to experience the IFAJ Congress in September but unable to commit to the full programme. With registration closing this Sunday, July 6, Members and Friends of the Guild can now book one of several 'taster' options taking in the weekend tours and social events.
"We do have some places available for the full Congress with a choice of accommodation, so members can still join the British and International delegates already registered to take part in the entire event," says Adrian Bell, Congress chairman. "But the special packages will enable many more to come and meet their fellow journalists from overseas and report on - or just learn about - different aspects of agriculture in north-east Scotland."
The full Congress runs from September 4-8 with the all-inclusive tours duplicated on the Saturday and Sunday, so members taking up a special weekend package can participate (subject to availability) in two of the following:
Arable & Whisky Vegetables, Specialist Crops & Fruit Beef & Red Meat Field Crops & Potatoes Diversification, Forestry & Renewables
The tours, which depart at 6.15am and return approximately 5.30pm, include meals and transport by coach, and the special Guild member packages are based on accommodation at SRUC Craibstone, a few minutes shuttle bus ride from the Congress hotels at Aberdeen airport.
They start at just £90 for a one-night stay participating in either the Saturday or Sunday tours, and from £140 for a one-night Saturday and Sunday option. Staying over on the Friday night takes the fee to £220.
In addition, members can also book a place at one of the popular social events:
Saturday night four-course Taste of Grampian Dinner and Ceilidh dance
Sunday night Gala Dinner and live performance by the Red Hot Chilli Pipers
Georgina Haigh of Farmers Guardian and Leo Townsend, HGCA communications, are taking advantage of the three-night, two-day option. Leo says: "It's a one-off opportunity to find out more about farming across the world from the people who spend their time researching, thinking and writing about agriculture. I'm sure it will inspire and provide contacts to help me push on in my own career. On top of all that, it gives me a great reason to brush up on my Russian and Spanish!"
Remember, registrations close on Sunday, July 6.
Livestock Event reception
The regular get-together at this week's Livestock Event for Members and Friends of the Guild will be held on the first evening (Wednesday, July 2) at 5pm in the Media Centre thanks to the RABDF. Canapés, English wine and English cheeses will be served, generously sponsored by NFU Mutual thanks to communications executive and Guild member Tim Price.
Apart from being a great opportunity to catch up with journalist and PR friends, the reception will see the presentation of the Guild's Livestock category photography awards by sponsor Jonathan Guy of Guy Animal Health.
Organiser Liz Snaith, press officer to the RABDF, looks forward to welcoming Members and Friends, who may bring one guest as a potential new member. She emphasises that media passes for the Livestock Event can only be obtained via the event website and an individual pass is required for each of the two days.
Cereals Event awards presented
Despite being in a new venue, the turn-out for the Guild's annual Cereals Event reception was as enthusiastic as ever as Members and Friends enjoyed beer courtesy of Limagrain, pulse snacks from BEPA-PGRO, and strawberries and cream laid on by Gleadell at the Inspire agri industry careers pavilion, plus excellent bangers and soft drinks paid for out of Guild funds.
Awards for the Arable category of the photography competition sponsored by Du Pont were presented and winners of the Guild's IAgrE 'Engineering in Land-Based Industries' journalism awards announced - use the links to find out who won!
Free press registration for Alltech event
IFAJ sponsor Alltech is staging its annual Global Dairy & Beef event in Europe this year and offers free press registration for accredited Members of the Guild. The forum brings together some of the most progressive dairy and beef producers from around the world to enable them to network, share experiences and discuss plans for the year ahead. It's being held from August 30 to September 2 in Deauville, Normandy at the heart of the French ruminant industry. Find more details and ask for an invitation here using the code Global14FR. Contact Ann Hess (00 1 859-537-7911), Alltech's North America Field PR Manager, with any press participation queries.
Press tour - agriculture in Ukraine
Travel company RealTOURS is organising an expenses-paid visit to Ukraine for agricultural journalists and international tour operators in October. The initial proposed itinerary - covers northern and western areas of the country. Contact the organiser direct.
Nominations for prestigious award
A form is now available to download from the website for Members to make a compelling case for a fellow Member being the recipient of the prestigious Netherthorpe Award at the Guild Harvest Lunch in October. The magnificent crowing cockerely bronze trophy - on permanent display in The Farmers Club - is awarded to Members who are judged to have made a sustained and high quality contribution to 'agricultural communications' in the widest sense.
The award, which is open to journalists and professional communicators, has in recent years been received by Ken Fletcher, The Scottish Farmer; David Cousins, Farmers Weekly; Andrew Arbuckle, for his freelance and columnist roles; Howard Walsh, Farmers Guardian; and PR specialist Ross Muir. Nominations for the 2014 award close at the end of August.
New agri journalists' organisation in Romania
A new national association for agricultural journalists in Romania has the aim of supporting members in their profession and contributing to their development and training. The Agricultural Press Association in Romania (APAR) will also help members strengthen their relations with Romanian and European institutions, as well as with similar associations in Europe such as the British Guild. The new organisation has been welcomed by the European Network of Agricultural Journalists - see the ENAJ website for the full story.
IFAJ press card applications and renewals
The Guild no longer issues membership cards but journalists and photographers needing identification as a media representative can apply for an IFAJ Press Card issued by IFAJ (International Federation of Agricultural Journalists), which is recognised by agricultural institutes, governments, ministries, exhibitions, fairs and events all over the world. To apply for a new card or to renew an existing one using the existing IFAJ membership number contact Guild secretary Nikki Robertson.
Young journalists prize launched
Journalist members of the Guild aged 35 years or less at the end of this year get the chance to participate in all expenses-paid press facility trips organised by the European Commission's DG-Agri next year by writing an award-winning article on young farmers in European agriculture. The article should be published between January and the end of September this year and be no more than 800 words - longer published articles can be trimmed to this limit.
The winner will be invited on DG-Agri press trips covering different aspects of agriculture in Europe and, together with two runners-up, will be invited to the annual networking event in Brussels early next year. Get a flavour of what other Guild members have got out of these events by visiting the ENAJ page on the Guild website. Full details of the contest are on the ENAJ website; entries to Ben Briggs, Guild member representative on Council with a special interest in U35 activities.
Jobs & Recruitment
Vacant positions are mentioned in Guild eAlerts as a service to members but a recruitment advertising service is also available to organisations that wish to put full details about a post in front of the Guild's 450+ members involved in journalism and commercial communications. More details about this service are available on the website here.
Heather Dale is in need of some PR to promote the employment matching website she is setting up. It's for people with skills in agriculture with a particular focus on overseas posts for people who want to improve their skills and career prospects by working abroad. Heather needs advice on the most cost-effective way of reaching the farming press in the UK, New Zealand, Australia and Canada. She can be contacted by email.

Mark Zuckerberg, in front of a class. This is cross-posted from my own site, Jersey Jazzman
Miss me?
Yesterday, the National Education Policy Center published a lengthy report written by Dr. Bruce Baker and myself that looks closely at school "reform" in Newark. I wrote a short piece about our report at NJ Spotlight that gives summarizes our findings. We've also got a deep dive into the data for our report at the NJ Education Policy website.
You might be wondering why anyone outside of New Jersey, let alone Newark, should care about what we found. Let me give you a little background before I try to answer that question…
In 2010, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO and founder of Facebook, went on the The Oprah Winfrey Show and announced that he was giving $100 million in a challenge grant toward the improvement of Newark's schools. Within the next couple of years, Newark had a new superintendent, Cami Anderson. Anderson attempted to implement a series of "reforms" that were supposed to improve student achievement within the city's entire publicly-financed school system.
In the time following the Zuckerberg donation, Newark has often been cited by "reformers" as a proof point. It has a large and growing charter school sector, it implemented a teacher contract with merit pay, it has a universal enrollment system, it "renewed" public district schools by churning school leadership, it implemented Common Core early (allegedly), and so on.
So when research was released this fall that purported to show that students had made "educationally meaningful improvements" in student outcomes, "reformers" both in and out of New Jersey saw it as a vindication. Charter schools are not only good — they don't harm public schools, because they "do more with less." Disruption in urban schools is good, because the intractable bureaucracies in these districts needs to be shredded. Teachers unions are impeding student learning because we don't reward the best teachers and get rid of the worst…
And so on. If Newark's student outcomes have improved, it has to be because these and other received truths of the "reformers" must be true.
But what if the data — including the research recently cited by Newark's "reformers" — doesn't show Newark has improved? What if other factors account for charter school "successes"? What if the test score gains in the district, relative to other, similar districts, isn't unique, or educationally meaningful? What if all the "reforms" supposedly implemented in Newark weren't actually put into place? What if the chaos and strife that has dogged Newark's schools during this "reform" period hasn't been worth it?
What if Newark, NJ isn't an example of "reform" leading to success, but is instead a cautionary tale?
These are the questions we set out to tackle. And in the next series of posts here, I am going to lay out, in great detail, exactly what we found, and explain what the Newark "reform" experiment is actually telling us about the future of American education.
One other thing: as I have said before, the "reformers" often appear to misunderstand how research should be used to inform public policy. Often, you will hear them say some variation of this: "We have to do something to improve our schools — and you can't prove my preferred reform won't make schools better!"
In fact, the burden of proof is on those who contend that charter school expansion, school closures/"renewals," merit pay, Common Core, universal enrollment, and so on will improve schools. If I or others present evidence that calls into question any of these policies, it is up to the promoters of those policies to show why that evidence is not germane.
For example: there is no question charter schools — particularly the Newark charters run by big charter management organizations (CMOs) like TEAM/KIPP and North Star — enroll very few Limited English Proficient (LEP) students. This puts the burden of educating these children on the public district schools. It explains why charters can spend less on instruction and student support services compared to NPS.
It is up to charter defenders to show why this doesn't matter when asserting charter claims of relatively better productivity. The burden of proof is on them, not on those who question their claims.
Much more to come…

Sparkplug is an open source project developed by Cirrus Link Solutions which shows how devices or projects can be enabled to communicate with MQTT Engine and Ignition. This example will show how data can be published via MQTT from an emulated device running on a development machine. In addition, it will show how devices or projects can be controlled by writing to tags in Ignition. It will also show the caveats associated with establishing/ending an MQTT session and ensuring that the tag values in Ignition are valid.
Example JavaScript Example:
This tutorial assumes:
With the standalone Sparkplug examples downloaded onto your development machine, change into the following directory:
If you are using a different MQTT Server, edit the following file to reflect your MQTT Server configuration (serverUrl, username, and password):
For simplicity this example does not use or support TLS over MQTT without modifications.
Before running the application we need to install the sparkplug-client library using the Node Package Manager (npm). Issue the following command:
npm install sparkplug-client
Now start the application with the following command:
node sparkplug-example.js
At this point, the application will do the following:
This can be verified via Ignition Designer. Using a Web Browser, browse to the Ignition Gateway on your machine. If it is running locally, that is: http://localhost:8088. You should see this:
Near the upper right corner, click 'Launch Designer'. This will open the following window after downloading the .jnlp file and executing it. Note the default username/password is admin/password. Type those into the appropriate fields and click 'Login'.
This will bring you to a new Window where you can select an Ignition Project or create a new one. Create a new project by giving it a name and clicking 'Create New Project'.
Enable Device Writes from Ignition. This can be done by putting designer into read/write mode.You will see that MQTT Engine saw a new device attach to the MQTT Server and publish a Birth Certificate. As a result, MQTT Engine created the Ignition Tags shown above. These are also dynamically updated as the values change. You can also write to the outputs after you
Do so by clicking this button in the menu to enable read/write mode:
Then you can change any of the Tag values in the Outputs folder here:
You should see the Tag value change as well as the value of the corresponding Tag in the Inputs folder. In the Sparkplug example code the outputs are virtually tied to the inputs. So, when modifying an output value, this causes an MQTT message to be sent from MQTT Engine, to the virtual device, which receives the message, modifies the values, and then publishes a MQTT message back to MQTT Engine where the two values are updated.
Note: If you are not seeing the output and input values update to reflect the change you have made, make sure MQTT Engine is not configured to block outbound device tag writes as described here.

When business owners talk about struggles with cash flow, they aren't necessarily only referring to the amounts of money they spend and take in. Another major aspect of cash flow is the need to keep a certain amount of money in more than one bank account. You'd think that succeeding in the first aspect would automatically do the same for the second. But plenty of businesses that make a lot of money aren't as skilled at paying themselves whilst putting the right amounts into different accounts for different functions. This could interfere with your plans for a small business loan, especially if you intend to be approved by a bank. The bank's decision will be largely (if not almost entirely) based on your recent bank activity.
Here's a few tips for balancing bank accounts as you grow your small business:
1. Open Second Personal Bank Account
During their early days, countless small businesses make the mistake of mixing personal and business finances. They deposit personal funds and business revenue into a single bank account, which is therefore the same account they look to for spending, no matter the nature of the expense. Mixing personal and business finances makes it very difficult to get a clear picture of cash flow and profits, not to mention put money away.
"Why don't they just open a business checking account?," you might ask. Well, it turns out that some banks only let you open business checking accounts if you fulfill certain requirements. You might have to deposit a minimum amount into the account each month or maintain a minimum daily balance in order to avoid fees. Younger businesses might not be sure they can fulfill these requirements and don't want to take on the stress of opening an account at a second bank. The solution is to simply open a second personal bank account. This will essentially act as your business checking account and allow you to separate your finances.
2. Know When It's Okay To Use Personal Finances For Business Expenses
Mixing personal and business finances is not the same as using personal finances for business purposes. For example, many established businesses were personally financed by their owners at some point. Most banks favor business loan applicants who have "skin in the game," as it's called. They figure that someone who has invested his or her own money into a company's survival is significantly less likely to let the business fail. But this does not mean young businesses should finance business expenses almost entirely with personal credit cards for long periods of time.
The only businesses that can (maybe) get away with doing this are businesses that have been open for several years. Such businesses might finance business expenses with personal credit cards for about a year to help fulfill a certain requirement for a bank loan. After all, most recipients of bank loans were approved because they didn't really need the money. If you are rejected, financing business expenses with personal credit cards might show the bank that you weren't exactly desperate for the loan.
But unless your business has been open for several years, you should only use personal finances for a few investments or to cover business expenses for a limited time. A younger businesses that uses personal finances to cover business expenses for long periods gives the impression that it lacks a solid foundation for revenue.
3. Use The Right System For Paying Yourself
It's common for new business owners to go approximately three years without paying themselves a salary. This changes when their businesses are able to provide a full-time income. But not every business owner uses the same system to determine how to pay themselves. Owners of S-Corp businesses usually pay themselves as if they were an employee. Owners of LLC's, on the other hand, pay themselves by taking a certain portion of their business's revenue or profits. That portion is based on a number of factors, such as payroll and the amount of money that needs to be saved for taxes. If you choose to base your income on business profits, it's generally advised to not exceed 50%.
This is why business owners are often advised to create a personal budget and a separate business budget. Keeping personal and business finances separate might mean figuring out how much money you need for personal expenses as well.
Adhering to these three tips might seem stressful at first but they will most certainly give you more peace of mind in the long run. You'll have less work to do when pursuing small business loans and can therefore spend more time doing what you do best: growing your business and making money. Expanding will be very difficult if you don't have a solid system set up for saving money, paying yourself, and keeping personal and business finances separate.

Published on March 21, 2019
Darby, PA (March 20, 2019): Mercy Fitzgerald has been awarded a three-year accreditation in mammography by the American College of Radiology (ACR).
Mammography is specialized medical imaging that uses a low-dose x-ray system to see inside the breasts. A mammography exam, called a mammogram, aids in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women.
The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting ACR Practice Parameters and Technical Standards after a peer-review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. Staff qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures quality assurance programs, and quality of images are assessed. The findings are reported to the ACR Committee on Accreditation, which subsequently provides the practice with a comprehensive report that can be used for continuous practice improvement.
"The mammography team at Mercy Fitzgerald is to be congratulated for achieving this accreditation," said Jeffry I. Komins, MD, Interim Chief Medical Officer for Mercy Fitzgerald and Mercy Philadelphia. "It demonstrates their commitment to quality and to exceptional care for our patients."
