Happy New Year
This year has once again been a bit of a whirlwind. We've gained a cat and a baby and sadly lost a dog. I've made the big jump to being freelance and our girls are becoming the firmest of friends. Libby has changed so much in the past 12 months, and of course Lia has grown to be unrecognisable from the rather large baby that appeared in May. Libby also had her eye operation in June, so you may notice from looking back at old photos on the blog that her eyes are now dramatically better, certainly good enough to…View Post

7 Best Android Emulators for PC
Android is now the most popular OS when it comes to smartphones and one of the reasons apart from the customization aspect is the number of apps available in the Play store. While most of us use Windows as the desktop OS a lot of users prefer Android as the smartphone OS. Android ecosystem is very much rich in apps and it is one of the strengths.
Now, what if you wanted to try out Android apps and games on Windows? Android Emulators are here for this purpose. These emulators allow users to try out Android apps on Windows. If you are looking for emulators, here are the best 7 Android emulators for Windows.
1. BlueStacks:
BlueStacks is one of the popular apps which brings the Android experience on Windows. This program will help you run Android apps on Windows, but again this might not provide a complete experience. You can sign up with your Google account and start downloading games and apps. It comes with Play store which means you can search the catalogue and download apps.
But since most of the PCs do not have a touch screen, apps might not be optimized for usage with mouse and keyboard. Also, there might be issues with pixelation on large display on the desktop as the apps are written basically for smartphone resolution. But nevertheless, you can try out the popular games and apps on PC using this emulator. This is available free of cost.
2. KO Player:
This is yet another Android emulator which is specifically for gaming, which means if you are looking to play Android games on Windows, then this should be the best option. It has huge advantages in performance, stability, compatibility and it supports Intel and AMD CPUs. The primary requirement is that the PC should have a graphic card supports OpenGL 2.0.
More about KO Player can be found here.
3. Andy:
Andy is another powerful emulator which can run Android apps on PC. It also provides users with unlimited storage capacity, PC and Mac compatibility, and the freedom to play the most popular mobile games on a desktop. It provides users with latest Android features and you can even run your favorite social messenger apps like Snapchat, WhatsApp etc from the PC.
You can also sync the apps to the mobile, which means you can use the mobile as a joystick to control the games running on PC. More details on Andy available here.
4. AMIDuOS:
AMIDuOS is one of the popular Android Emulator which offers good features. It runs on any Windows 7,8 or 10 PC or tablet device for fast, easy switching between Windows and Android environments without having to reboot the PC.
AMIDuOS can run nearly all of the Android applications available in Android app markets. AMIDuOS supports 3D acceleration, so you can enjoy a superior Android gaming experience in Windows. It is available for free for 30 days to try and you can buy the full version starting $10.
5. Nox:
Nox is one of those Android Emulators which is specialised for gamers. It's a free full-featured Android emulator which could run multiple android instances on Windows PC. It's also very light and fast. It is based on Android 4.4.2 KitKat.
You can download it from here.
6. GenyMotion:
GenyMotion is yet another Android Emulator for PC. You can configure the emulator for a variety of devices to choose from along with various versions of Android to help suit your needs. You can choose the device and also the version of Android. It is available free of cost for personal use.
7. Droid4X:
Droid4x is another Android simulator with great features and it is pretty good in aspects of performance, user experience, compatibility and gaming controllability. Droid4x is also the first multi-touch supported simulator which provides overall better experience. It also comes with Play Store installed and is also rooted. You can download it here.
These are the best emulator for running Android apps on PC.
1 Comment
Hi Nirmal.
Nice list of Android emulators for PC. I hardly see mention of Droid4X on these type of lists, so it's great to see it here, I like its simple home screen and performance.
Another one I'd like to point out is Remix OS Player. I think it's notable for using the Android Marshmallow (6.0.1) operating system instead of KitKat like most other Android emulators. Another Android emulator, MEmu, supports KitKat as well as Lollipop, but requires a download for Lollipop.

Anyway you can edit or add any data for your favorite team by yourself[ all files will locate at $HOME/.bygfoot/definitions/teams]. Game running is very fast , You don't need to wait for a long time to play next match. I think this is another choice if you don't want to play FM on ubuntu with wine.

CAIRO — Archaeologists say they have discovered a more than 3,200-year-old tomb in the ancient Egyptian necropolis of Saqqara.
Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities says a limestone sarcophagus belonging to a noblewoman was found in the tomb in Saqqara, which is south of Cairo.
In the statement released Tuesday, the council says three mummies and several funerary fragments also were in the tomb.
It was not known who the mummies were. The council says the sarcophagus was found in pieces along the south wall of the tomb, which dates back to the 19th Dynasty.
Excavations at Saqqara have been going on for 150 years, uncovering a necropolis of pyramids and tombs dating mostly from the Old Kingdom but also tombs from as recently as the Roman era.

Back in 2003, Mordechai Jefferson Carver (Adam Goldberg) took on the nefarious plan of Damian Claus (Andy Dick), the evil Gentile son of Santa Claus who sought to destroy Hanukkah (and Kwanzaa) in order to claim December for Christians as a Christmas-only month. Ten years later, The Hebrew Hammer has plans to return in order to take on an even greater threat to the Chosen People: Hitler himself. Goldberg will return in the appropriately titled The Hebrew Hammer vs Hitler, along with Judy Greer, who plays his wife, Esther Bloomenbergensteinenthal. Hit the jump to see what Goldberg had to say about the project.
Our attention was drawn to The Hebrew Hammer sequel thanks to a post on Yahoo! After the first movie, which was a box office failure that became a cult classic, fans banded together to fund the crowd-sourced sequel. The picture will find the Hammer teaming up with Jesus in a time-traveling adventure to put the kibosh on Hitler. Here's what Goldberg had to say about the film:
"It didn't seem the sort of franchise where you wouldn't want to see [the hero] take on one Jewish holiday after another….You want to see him go after the big one. Who's the Jewish Joker? Hitler. It's implicit that if we are going to take on Hitler, there's a time-travel element, so once that widened the scope infinitely, I thought it was important that we hook up with the other big Jew in history: Jesus."
Goldberg went on to comment on the film as not just a comedy, but as an intended shake up to conventional stereotypes:
"[P]eople feel like they can take the piss out of other Jews because there is a built-in sort of self-loathing or self-effacement at best I think Jewish people feel, and they can say things like 'nice Jewish boy' without it seeming derisive, but I happen to find those things derisive."
The sequel plans to start production this spring. Check out the trailer for the original film below:

We had another good (if rather long) night out at the Gang Show this year. Fifteen Cubs and several parents joined with the Sea Scouts for an evening of entertainment, with singing, dancing and funny sketches. Once more we enjoyed spotting Adam, who had a speaking part this year, and the Cubs tried to deafen me by shouting his name. We hope he enjoyed the support from the crowd!

Vision 3 Hints & Tips
How to import a CSV(or xls) file into Vision as a patient group
The following steps will enable you to import a CSV file into Vision which will be converted into a Patient Group.
NOTE: The CSV file MUST contain either an NHS number or Vision identifier for each patient, to enable Vision to make an exact match. Any patient not matched will be shown in the results.
Errors may sometimes occur if any free text contains illegal characters within your import file. If errors do occur remove any free text columns, as all you actually need are the patient identifiers anyway.
- Go to the Vision front Screen and click the Apps Controller
- Click System Utilities
- Click on Patient Group Import app
- Click on the 3 dots button at the end of the File
box to browse for your CSV (or Excel) file
- If your file has header columns either tick the box "Has Headers" or
start at row 2
- If you have used the CSV file option, make sure the tick is in the Comma checkbox
- Within the Fields section right mouse click on the PAT_ID (1st)
column and select Vision Identifier or if the data has
been provided by an outside source and there is no Patient Identifier,
you would need to right mouse click on the NHS Number column instead and
select NHS Number
- Click the Import button
- Once Vision has verified or matched each patient, click the
Group button
- Enter a description for your group and click OK
- These patients are now in Vision as a Patient Group

I think you're with me when I say that love died the day that Amy Poehler and Will Arnett announced they were getting a divorce, so it should sting a little less when I tell you that Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy are separated. Well, kinda. But not really? I'm just as confused as you are. Here's the deal.
No papers have been filed or anything, but Bethenny told In Touch that she and Jason spent the summer apart.
Bryn and I spent the last six weeks in the Hamptons playing on the beach. We just had a magical, amazing summer. Jason was in the city working, and it was nice. He came on the weekends. It was good for her that we got to do outdoor activities. It was good for me, because I was ready to crack.
Then, a source claimed that when Jason did make it out to the Hamptons, it was only to see Bryn. You'll notice that Bethenny said that having Jason working in the city "was nice" and only mentioned her and Bryn's happiness, not hers with Jason, nor Jason's alone.
Separations can be really effective. They can help you figure out that you miss your spouse, and that working through your issues is worth it because at the end of the day, you want them around; or, they can highlight the fact that you're happier alone.
And if you are, in fact, happier alone, then what exactly are you fighting to save?
We've all seen Bethenny and Jason go through some pretty serious rough patches during the first two years of their marriage, and I have to say, I'm not optimistic these two crazy kids will make it. It sounds like Bethenny really relished her time without Jason. Not only that, but she says she was ready to crack, presumably right before her beach break, which was presumably when she was with Jason.
If you ask this arm chair psychologist who has never spoken to either party and is decidedly not privy to any of their personal feelings on the matter, I'd say this six-week separation shows that they're happier apart.
It's gotta be incredibly difficult for a couple to realize that they're better off apart, but sometimes it happens.
Sounds like the separation worked, but the result was painful.
Do you think separations are a good way to figure out a relationship?

AAA games such as Uncharted, Halo, Destiny, etc. require millions of dollars for development, and these are the types of titles players look forward to the most, but they are risky to make.
While indie games, on the other hand, take way less money to make, are ambitious and are rapidly gaining popularity among fans due to their creativity.
Developers of Hellblade, an upcoming indie title are looking to change how things work in our industry. They are aiming to make a AAA quality title with an indie like budget.
Developer Ninja Theory is referring to Hellblade as an "independent AAA game." Which means they are making a game which is being developed and published by an independent developer but has the quality and production value of a AAA title in the market.
Digital distribution has gained more popularity since the release of next-gen consoles, and the above development diary shows their vision to use this platform to their advantage.
Ninja Theory is not aiming to target a specific audience and are hoping the game will find its own audience. The development approach they are taking is certainly something new, and if they succeed, this will surely be very beneficial for our industry.
What is your take on this kind of approach to development? Share your views with us in the comments below!

If you missed our twitter party last week, where we talked about the new Curious George Dance Contest, I'm sorry you did. Because I don't mind saying it was amazing. But no worries if you did miss it, I am still going to give you all the information you need to participate right here!
Dance is my favorite art form. I'm grateful to my mom for sending me to all those dance classes. I tried just about everything, danza folklorica, ballet, hawaiian, contemporary, salsa… Dance gave me joy, kept me healthy, and lifted me up through the usual rough patches of childhood.
I see the same enthusiasm in my kids. It's contagious. I tell them they get their enthusiasm for dance from their mom, but really, most all small children like to dance, twist, jump and shake! (My boys also love to spin around on the floor!!)
So if your kids like to dance and they like Curious George, too, the Curious George Dance Contest is the perfect opportunity to show their moves and maybe even win something fun like a visit from George himself! How does that sound?
Here are the details:
1. Now through April 2, 2012, parents and legal guardians of children aged one to eight can send in videos (no longer than 60 seconds in length) of their child's moves to CuriousGeorgeDanceContest.com.
2. A panel of judges will choose ten finalists based on their creativity, enthusiasm, and originality.
3. Starting April 16th through April 30th, 2012, George's friends and fans will vote for the winner.
- All finalists will receive a Curiosity Kit, filled with a Curious George book, game, DVD, and other fun George merchandise
- 1 Grand Prize winner: the winning video will be included on a Curious George DVD, the winner and guardian or parent may have the opportunity to meet Curious George at a location in or near the Winner's hometown.
Good Luck and Let's Dance!
Disclosure: This post is part of a sponsored campaign with Latina Bloggers Connect and WGBH. My opinions and devotion to George and dance are solely my own.

"I was born in a beachside suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. On leaving school I went to an art college with the vision of becoming a painter… Somehow I ended up with a camera, instead of a paintbrush, in my hand.
"After graduating with a degree in Visual Arts in 1990, I began working for the Adelaide Advertiser. I left Australia in 1995 and travelled extensively, working in England for numerous UK national newspapers as well as being the principal photographer for Australia's News Limited London bureau.
"I returned home in 1998, and currently work as a staff photographer at the Sydney Morning Herald. Last year the book 'The Seventh Wave', on which I collaborated with Trent Parke, was published. This book of surreal black and white photographs documents Australian beach culture from under the waves.
"Arriving back in Australia proved to be an awakening for me. It is true what they say: you don't miss what you have until you lose it. I realized there was so much here to photograph. Things I had grown up with, that I knew about and loved: all things that I had taken for granted. The only inspiration I needed was this country and the ability to see it with new eyes."
Now based in Sydney, Narelle is a founding member of Oculi, an independent, collective photographic agency.
In 2001, Narelle and Trent Parke's book "The Seventh Wave" came second in the American Pictures of the Year competition for best photography books. There was also a sell-out exhibition of the work at the Stills Gallery in Sydney.
In 2002, Narelle won a 1st Prize World Press Photo Award in arts, for The School of Dance, and in 2000 a 1st Prize World Press Photo Award in nature and environment for a series on Australian Road Kill. In 2001, Narelle was a runner-up in the Leica Oskar Barnack Award for The Seventh Wave series. She won The Walkley Award for excellence in journalism in 2000.
Narelle was selected to exhibit her work in the Leica/ccp documentary touring exhibition in 1999 with The Seventh Wave, and in 2001 with a View From The Sydney Harbour Bridge. In 2001 she was one of three photographers selected in the Australian Art Collectors Magazine as one of the 50 most collectable Australian artists.

Helping You Through a Child Custody Hearing
Baby Boomers are Going Bankrupt at a Faster Rate
According to the study's architects, there are three primary reasons why the number of baby boomers filing for bankruptcy is so disproportionate: 1.) high levels of credit card debt 2.) the housing crisis and 3.) increasing health care costs.
It seems that there may also be cultural differences between the Boomers and their parents' generation. The generation preceding the Baby Boomers, were more willing to go into debt to provide their Boomer children with the luxuries they didn't have during the Great Depression. The Boomers grew up watching people go into debt. Most of the time, they paid it off, but debt became normal to them, whereas it was a new phenomenon to their parents.
If you are finding yourself crippled by debt, no matter what your age, please don't hesitate to get some expert advice. I offer a free confidential initial consultation, where you can get all your questions about bankruptcy answered.

Divorce Rates Rising Despite the Economy
There's been a lot of speculation about divorce rates recently. It seems that rates of divorce have declined in the last few years, and many family law practitioners have attributed the reduction in dissolutions to the recent economic challenges posed by the Global Financial Crisis. Even if a couple believes that a marriage will no longer work, they may accept the fact that maintaining two households in a time of economic uncertainty has not been a risk worth taking. Diminished real estate equity and uncertainty about jobs opportunities have left some spouses resigned to postponing legal solutions until they feel more secure.
But recent reports suggest that divorce rates are increasing, and some commentators speculate that the reason is that Americans have become accustomed to the new economic reality. It seems like we're seeing an increase in divorce clients. With the recession, there was initial shock that paralyzed people. They were frozen, not wanting to make any more significant changes in their lives. They weren't any happier than before, but too afraid to do anything about it. Now people are stabilizing, acclimating themselves to the new economic realities. People realize that things may not change soon, but at least it's possible to have a happy life on an emotional level.
In the current economic climate, people who are considering divorce need to pursue knowledge about their legal options as well as their financial interests. Estranged couples who have felt trapped by a mortgage that exceeds the market value of their home should seek some professional legal advice. It may be possible for one spouse to remain in the family home. For others, there's a full range of debt relief options that may provide solutions, including bankruptcy and consolidation. An attorney with experience in all of these areas can explain strategies to help you attain an independent future that recently may have seemed foreclosed.
In my experience as a family law attorney, I have helped may separating couples work out a plan that helps them to move forward with their lives, no matter what the current economic circumstances are. I offer a free confidential initial consultation where you can get all your questions answered. So don't feel trapped, by your current situation. There are probably many options that you may not have considered or even known about.

Judges Crack Down on Inappropriate Clothing in Court
Here's some recent examples where judges have cracked down on inappropriate clothing:
• In May, Jennifer LaPenta was jailed briefly after a judge in Lake County, Ill., held her in contempt for wearing an offensive T-shirt to court.
• In Inkster, Mich., Joseph Kassab was turned away in April from the courtroom for wearing black jeans. He missed his traffic court appearance and was fined, and he's challenging the dress code in the state Court of Appeals.
• The same thing happened to Linda West, who missed her court date after being refused entry in June to court in Bakersfield, Calif., for wearing flip-flops.
• In July, in Hamilton County (Ohio) Municipal Court, William Morse's T-shirt featuring slasher-movie character Chucky and the words "Say goodbye to the killer" earned Morse a warning that he'd spend a day in jail if he came to court again with inappropriate attire.
The need for many courts to adopt dress codes could be the product of a casual society and general ignorance of court culture. Many dress codes single out baggy pants, particularly those that expose undergarments. Though some attire may seem obvious choices to ban, other clothing can be a tougher call – and barring some attire can raise troubling questions about race, religion and access to justice.
An increasing number of courts are adopting dress codes, and for security reasons some specify that faces be uncovered, posing problems for Muslim women wearing veils or burqas. That issue has come to the fore among judges and security personnel in the past six months. Courts may follow the lead of the Transportation Security Administration and have a female officer take a Muslim woman to a private setting where she can remove her face covering.
Unfortunately, in all stratas of our society people tend to be judged by their appearance. This is not something that is limited to the court room. As a family law attorney I always advise my clients to dress appropriately for any court appearance. Like I said this may seem like a no-brainer, but many people don't consider the impression that their appearance may make on others. When working within the legal system it's important that you make a good impression and and inappropriate clothing can be a deal-breaker.
Tiger & Elin's Parenting Plan
Well it's been all over the news that Tiger Wood and Elin Nordegren have had their divorce finalized. Court documents described the marriage as "irretrievably broken". What you may not know is that as part of the divorce they were required to work out a parenting plan for the former couple's two kids Sam, 3, and Charlie, 1. Court papers confirm that both Tiger, 34, and Elin, 30, have completed 4-hour parenting classes – which are required for the finalization of any divorce in Florida in which children are involved.

Mattress Discounts And Offers
It pays to look around for the best mattress offers.
The market for beds and mattresses is highly competitive - both in design and manufacture and in retail. Mattress specialists are constantly looking for new ways to attract customers to their showrooms or websites, and a key way of doing this is by offering discounts or special deals on the stock they have available.
Mattress discounts
Discounts are used widely throughout all consumer retailers. The general definition of a discount is a reduction in price from the usual sale price. Discounts are offered for a number of reasons:
• To attract new customers
• To clear old stock
• To reduce levels of goods that are over-stocked
• To encourage customers to buy more than one item
• To meet sales targets set by suppliers or manufacturers
A mattress retailer will change the discounts available, depending on the time of year, the mix of stock they have available and the sales targets they have to meet. As a consumer, you can benefit by researching the discounts that are currently available and choosing the deal that's best for you.
Mattress offers
Offers are different from discount. A discount is a straightforward price reduction, whereas an offer usually combines a number of things in order to attract customers to the retailer. For example, a small discount and free delivery will make up an offer, as will a price reduction for buying a mattress and bed together. Equally, a 0% or buy-now-pay-later agreement also constitutes and offer, and all are used regularly by mattress and bed retailers.
Finding the best offers
Once you have decided on the mattress you want, take the time to look in showrooms and online for the retailer that makes the best offer or has the lowest price for the mattress you've chosen. Online retailers like MattressNextDay are in a great position to give you great prices and offers, because their costs are generally lower than those of high street retailers who need to pay for showroom space and additional staff. An hour or two spent researching price could mean that you could save money on your chosen mattress.
MattressNextDay is probably the largest mattress superstore on the internet. Selling a wide range of mattresses from leading manufacturers, we can offer quality mattresses at fantastic prices. Our next day delivery service is free or, if you prefer, you can select your own delivery date. Take a look at our range of mattresses now at www.mattressnextday.co.uk, or call us on 0333 0069 769 for more information.

Ben Zoldan in Stories | July 12, 2016 | No Comments
There is so much talk about aligning Sales with Marketing, Product Development with Delivery and Support, getting departments to all work together, integrating silos. But the conversations are so wildly insufficient.
I recently spent five hours with United States Navy Officer, Bob Hechtman, retired 24 years, former Commanding Officer of a U.S. Navy Guided Missile Destroyer.
What if, instead of integrating Sales & Marketing, your job was to get these departments to work together: Weapons (including Nuclear) with Navigation, Operations with Engineering, Combat Systems with Communications, etc., all in accordance with U.S. Navy policies, goals and its mission. I got a remarkable lesson from Captain Hechtman and he starts by sharing a story.
During an at-sea training period where ships are preparing for eventual deployment overseas, his ship was participating in a missile firing test against a drone target. All systems tests and checks indicated the missile system was in a "ready" status. When the target reached the outer edges of the firing range, the missile was fired. Five seconds into missile flight, the missile self-destructs. This is not good.
Missile system tests and checks are immediately redone and again all systems indicate "ready" status. A second target is acquired and a second missile is fired. Again, five seconds into flight, it self-destructs. This is really not good! Each missile costs about $250,000.
At this point, it is obvious that there is something seriously wrong with the missile fire control system, but it's not being revealed in any of the tests. So, a fault investigative team of ship's sailors and officers is formed to carefully examine the entire system. After extensive reviews of all documentation and retests, still no indication can be found.
All review team members worked as a team from the most junior technician to the most advanced Chief Petty Officer along with technically qualified officers, and all expressed their puzzlement and agreement that they didn't know what the failure cause was. So, technical help was obtained from a shore advanced technical team and they together with the ship's team had an open and honest exchange of information. Status regarding rank or rating, Navy or civilian, was not a factor as all regarded each other's expertise and open communication.
"My goal was for them to determine the system fault, not "shoot the messenger", Captain Hechtman tells me.
Eventually the fault was found to be a missile fire control design issue for one particular missile and it hadn't yet been tested by the missile fire control design team. The fault was identified by a lower ranking technician. The ship's team installed the "fix" and they proceeded to successfully complete the missile test.
The lesson learned, he shares, was that the open communication channels in the chain of command kept the information flow going whether good news or bad, and no one was afraid to give the Captain bad news even when things seemed grim. This permission allowed the team to operate without fear or threat to achieve a common goal for all.
I heard one amazing story after another from Captain Hechtman, and a theme started to emerge. He dispelled so many misconceptions I had about Leadership in the Military. I thought it was about power, rank, managing from the "top", enforcement. Instead, he talked about something entirely different.
I wanted to know more. How do you foster a culture where even the lowest ranking crewman can solve some of the ships biggest problems? So I asked him.
He responds, "The School of the Ship".
I had no idea what he meant.
He describes his ritual that during mealtime, he and his crew shared stories about everything, from Navy traditions, to the ship's fighting systems, operations, command or ship support, to Navy policies and goals. But unlike Corporate America, the ritual wasn't limited to the C-Level suite. And it wasn't a "top-down" exercise. The School of the Ship used a well developed qualification system that lead to warfare qualification regardless of rank, rating or seniority.
The system was used as a means of open communication, confidence and trust building among shipmates, from the lowest ranking seamen, all the way through the XO's and the Commanding Officer. Through the use of training, qualification board interviews and discussions conducted by all ranks and levels regardless of seniority, the crew would spend time together, with the intent that everyone knows each other, and knows what everyone is doing.
The School of the Ship cut across rank and bridged departments. This environment created a desire by all of the crew to want to participate and contribute to become warfare qualified like their shipmates for a common goal of holding the ship's combat readiness paramount and sacred. This was the bedrock of warfare qualification for all levels in the ship.
He pauses and then says, "No secrets." There can't be any secrets on the ship. He talked about the affects of secrets and then talked about fear.
And it dawned on me. The story he shared about the Missile test was about cooperation and inclusion. And the answer lay in those two words: secrets & fear. When there are secrets, there is fear. Secrets lead to fear; the fear to speak up; fear to take risks; fear to admit a mistake, or even make mistakes in the first place.
Ever since meeting Captain Hechtman, I keep thinking about those two words. Secrets & Fear, and why are they so inextricably linked to each other. I didn't have to look far.
Fear. Here was my very first "Management" lesson; my then Sales Manager brought me behind my new desk in my new office, literally walks me over to my chair, raises the chair so it sits as high as it goes, and tells me to always have my chair higher than the others. That was my very first lesson in so-called leadership.
It seems like a small thing at the time, but looking back, its wasn't, and it serves as such a powerful metaphor for me now. Everything was about rank & seniority. Worse, the chair meant I was "more than", I had status, rank, power. It kept people at arms length. It was the farthest thing from inclusion and cooperation. The result: it instilled fear and intimidation.
People felt smaller, "less than". People were afraid to bring things up to me in an open, honest way. It made my feel powerful at the time, but as I soon learned, it doesn't work.
A lot of my "management" training, though, started long before my time in Corporate America.
Secrets. This is something I know well. Here is where I'm an expert. Growing up at an early age, in the midst of turmoil, abuse, I learned to shove the bad stuff away, to not open up about the difficult things. Maintaining secrets was my way. Putting on a happy face was an attempt to make everything look ok on the outside.
I learned at a young age to keep secrets. But the weird thing is I didn't know I was keeping secrets, and maybe that's the real lesson. It was the culture around me; I didn't have the Captain of the ship fostering permission. Nobody knew how to open the lines of communication.
Secrets were part of my survival. But that proved to unravel too. It led to either outbursts, or worse, total withdrawal. It's a dysfunctional way of living.
Today, there's so much evidence that secrets and fear still dominate many corporate cultures. I recently reconnected with an old colleague, who leads Sales Enablement for a pretty large tech company.
He was telling me how his time is solely focused on deal reviews, "scrambling to hammer home" (his words) that all deals in the pipeline have a tight sequence of events, customer's pain clearly defined, the compelling event "locked and loaded", and sponsors identified and qualified.
Along the way, data accuracy had to be verified and any missing key activities logged to show progress toward the deal close. The inspection was as process driven as it could be. He talked about the constant barrage by leadership, total process adherence or berating would result. That was the life of every sales manager in the company, all at the exclusion of openness and cooperation. Imagine that.
Worse, imagine working in that culture. Yet he kept sharing how frustrated he was and that he wanted to do something about it. So, I asked him about bringing his frustration up through the organization – to his boss and he stopped me, "Not a chance."
And there it was; the lines of communication in his organization totally closed down. He didn't feel safe, included; zero permission, intimated, scared to bring something up the chain.
Not coincidently, he talked about the continued struggle his company is experiencing; missing numbers each quarter, low morale, high turn over. And yet, his organization continues the cycle. Nobody feels they can make a difference.
But Captain Hechtman taught me there is a different way. Its not about beating people up, berating them, managing through power, intimidation and fear.
The most interesting thing after spending time with him, was that he didn't once talk about the two things that dominate this conversation in Corporate America: accountability and process.
Clearly those things exist on a Navy Battleship, but it was as if those things were the commodity; the price of admission. He was reflecting on something deeper about our humanity; that cooperation is the way to live and lead and accomplish great things together.
That's how we're supposed to be. Its how we're built. When people feel included and have permission, we feel part of something bigger than ourselves; we feel connected. Fear gives way to innovation, creativity and risk taking.
For me, its often a struggle. I sometimes feel my expertise lies in the other way, the old way. And, as I reflect on my time with Captain Hechtman, I am reminded that I want to lead, train, sell, parent, and live this new way.
I got to know Michael recently. He served in the U.S. Army from 2004 to 2014; the last two...
What would it be like to really look in the mirror? I got the perspective of a person we're...

CCTV cameras for city amid terror threats
Police together with government have started installing CCTV cameras in the city centres of Kampala amidst fears of terror threats that are targeting, especially markets and taxi parks. Deputy police spokesperson Ms Polly Namaye, said CCTV cameras will have one connection centre that will be from Parliament and observed at Naguru Police Centre.
She said that though the project is starting at a small scale, it is expected to extend to other city centres by the time it ends.
However, Ms Namaye said load shedding is a potential challenge to the project, but promised that Police will work hard to ensure that there will be no load shedding in those areas where the cameras will be installed.
The move is also intended to keep streets in Kampala safe from any criminal activities and crack down on any suspected terrorist activities.
"An effort is being made to enable us see through the different angles around the city centres in order to keep streets in Kampala away from criminal activities, "Ms Namaye said.
This comes in the wake of repeated terror attacks in the neighbouring Kenya and repeated press reports that security remains lax in Uganda, especially in most business centres like markets and taxi parks, including the recent 'yellow parliament pig' fuss.

Greetings, readers. So far, in this early summer off, about the only thing that has kept to plan is me resting my feet. I wanted to have about 100 pages written by now. Lol, there's a chuckle for ya. Between appointments and daily errands, my first two weeks off have flown right by with not much getting done.
It's making me angry. I so wanted to have a schedule in place to write, write, write. It seems though that every time I get ready, I either receive a phone call, text, or am reminded of an upcoming appointment that day. There is a small part of me that wants to hang a sign on the apartment door reading Don't Bother Me Until September. Of course, I can't do that; I can't be that anti-social.
This morning as I was trying to wake up, I checked my Facebook, email, and Twitter and then discovered the computer was running slowly. A page popped up in big red letters claiming I had a virus. It was probably a scam, but I stopped what I was doing and ran my virus checker anyway. There went 20 minutes. Luckily, all seems to be fine.
Today is kind of an odd day. After work hours with Rebecca, my accountant and I have a meeting to go to, which could take the better part of the afternoon. Do you see my problem with productivity, readers?
On to other news, I heard that the Hawaii volcano is erupting again. I don't know how serious it is but hopefully everyone will be alright. I saw pictures last week of the devastation with homes and cars ablaze. Let's face it, when you live on an island, you really don't have anywhere to run. Also this morning I saw a blurb about a minor earthquake during a major league baseball game. It didn't mention anything about deaths, so it was probably a minor quake. Again, hopefully everyone is okay.
An R.I.P. goes out to a great actress, Margot Kidder, who passed away at age 69. She was far too young, if you ask me. She played Lois Lane in the movies with Christopher Reeve as Superman.
Lastly, Rebecca's husband Darren's book, Four's a Crowd, which is based on my play Kimberly, is almost ready to publish. We will go live for sale in a week or two on CreateSpace.com, and then it will be available on Amazon. Darren has worked hard on it, and I worked hard on the play. We are both very proud of the final outcome and we think it is going to be a winner. Hopefully it puts us on the writing map. Keep your fingers crossed.
There is our entry for today. Rebecca and I will be back tomorrow with a new blog entry, possibly another short story. I won't say for certain. I'm trying to get out of the habit of promising things I don't deliver. So until then, take care, have a great day, and happy reading.

This year the troop participated in the annual Orienteering Skills workshop for Boy Scouts sponsored by the Cadets at West Point's Camp Buckner. Orienteering is one of those fundamental skills that Scouts must learn but never get enough practice to be as proficient as one would like. This special weekend proved to be enormously popular with the scouts as they progressed through a very well-organized program. It was interesting to observe how well each of the teams mastered both the material and the orienteering course itself. In some instances, it was just the pure joy of running through the woods and discovering used ammo casings and abandoned camoflouge makeup that really resonated with the boys. Mother Nature through an additional challenge twist into the weekend's activities with very high winds that followed a few days of rain leading up to the event. Although some of the tents were destroyed Friday night, the troop decided to treat everyone to a nice dinner at a local restaurant on Saturday night! Many thanks to ASM Mike I. for leading this event and giving our troop the opportunity to experience West Point through his military connections! More great pics here.

Bronx River Parkway Provides 'Rather' Good Service Opportunity
In our community, the Bronx River Parkway (BRP) is a central north-south traffic artery that also enjoys a nearby paved bike path. The bike path runs parallel to the Bronx River, which is an a unique eco-system teaming with life. Unfortunately, given the population density of our area, the bike path also tends to take on the characteristics of a garbarge dump over time. Enter the Boy Scouts. There is a section of the BRP that four local Boy Scout troops have taken on the responsibility for keeping the area relatively litter-free. The designated clean-up day this year turned out to be a wet one, but that did not slow down the natural curiousity of a few dedicated scouts. Plenty of trash was gathered in bags provided by Bob Del Torto of Westchester County Parks.
A few months later, Mr. Del Torto reached out again for volunteers of a special cause: to erect over 25 informational signs about the surrounding environment along the bike path. This day long work project, in conjunction with other Westchester County Park volunteers, was officially recognized a month later in a special ribbon cutting ceremony at the Kensico Dam with several dignitaries in attendance, including well-known news anchor, Dan Rather — the voice used in the audio tour that coincides with the newly erected informational signs along the nature path. For volunteers of Troop 353, it was a special day! Great pics can be found here.

Purchases: None this week.
Don't forget to enter my giveaway – read the details here. Deadline to enter is August 22.
Some points covered this week in my journals:
- I performed a small miracle at work this week: it was my friend's birthday and I decorated her workstation in under 15 minutes. I was sure she was coming in early that day but I managed to throw streamers and confetti around just in time. It was fun. More birthday celebrations this weekend: High Tea at the Palliser!
- On Saturday my sister and I went to a Farmer's Market close to my house. My niece has a table set up there where she is offering her "Zenscapes": miniature gardens in glass containers. I am the proud owner of one of her tiny wonders. Check out the link to her Facebook page and I will post about her website when it is live.
- I have something exciting in the works: a leather notebook maker is sending me a Midori-style notebook to review! Not sure when the notebook will arrive but I will definitely be posting a review. In the meantime you can check out his etsy.com shop: Naked Cow.
Until next post, happy writing!

Watch List: John Walker Lindh
CBS5.com reports Frank Lindh, who has spent nearly seven years in federal prison for serving in an Afghan army, recently told law students at University of San Francisco that his 27-year old son, John Walker Lindh, has been used "as a scapegoat for the faults of the U.S. government." The son thought it was his duty to fight for the Taliban and volunteered for military action in Afghanistan. He is also known to have interacted with Osama bin Laden. In 2000, a federal grand indicted him on 10 counts, but Lindh pled guilty in exchange for a 20-year sentence. Frank is circulating a petition urging President Bush to pardon his son (here).

John Walker Lindh should receive a presidential pardon. I have always thought he was in the wrong place, and definately at the wrong time. He was convicted in a climate of "hysteria" and was a very young man. He committed NO crime!!!!

Requesting Email aliases
Aliases are available for regular supporters. By regular supporters we mean those who "buy" us at least one cup of coffee a month.
It's not that we are promoting coffee (which is, actually, a very handy symbol for exploitation and inequality). We thought that is a good way to let people measure themselves how much they can give.
Please take time to consider your contribution.
If you can 'buy' us one cup of Rio De Janeiro coffee a month that's OK, but If you can afford a Double Decaf Soy Frappuccino With An Extra Shot And Cream a month, then you can really help us keep the Disroot platform running and make sure it is available for free for other people with less means.
We found this list of coffee cup prices around the world, it might not be very accurate, but it gives a good indication of the different fares.
To request aliases you need to fill in this form.

The University maintains a Fixed Asset Register in order to comply with external reporting requirements and to promote the efficient and effective use of University resources. The Fixed Asset Register records the cost, depreciation, transfer, disposal and location details of all accountable fixed assets used by the University.
An accountable fixed asset is defined as an asset with an individual unit cost (GST exclusive) greater than $10,000. The depreciated value of the asset is recorded in the balance sheet.
Accountable fixed assets are recorded under the following categories:-
Cost is either:
A register of Land and Buildings is maintained by Finance.
Staff members are responsible for accountable fixed assets in their custody. They must take adequate precaution to prevent theft or misappropriation of those assets. Assets are normally housed on University premises. If they are to be housed off-campus, the written approval of the supervisor is to be obtained by the staff member in control of the asset. Supervisors must also ensure that such assets are returned should the staff member leave the employ of the University.
Asset theft should be immediately reported to the Insurance Manager who will arrange insurance claims where applicable. For further information on insurance procedures, please refer to the Insurance web-page.
A stocktake of accountable fixed assets (excluding furniture & fittings) is completed annually by each cost centre to verify the existence of assets and confirm their location. Stocktakes are carried out progressively throughout the year via a "rolling" stocktake. An asset listing is provided to each cost centre by Finance. The responsibility of each cost centre is to:-
Authority to write off missing items from the Asset Register is detailed in section 4.12 of the financial delegations policy.
Reasons for the disposal of accountable fixed assets include
Prior to disposal, approval in writing is required under section 4.12 of the financial delegations policy. The written down value of the item is used to determine the level of approval needed. However, approval is required even when the item has been fully written down.
An accountable fixed asset surplus or obsolete at one location may be of use at another location of the University. If the item is not to be traded in on a replacement, it should firstly be offered for transfer within the University. Any such transfer normally will not involve any transfer of funds.
Items declared unserviceable or beyond economical repair may be broken down for parts to be used in repair of other assets.
Saleable items are to be disposed of by one of the following methods:
Whatever the means of disposal, the University is required to ensure that it is conducted in a transparent manner and the best value for money is achieved.
If an accountable fixed asset is to be traded in, three written quotations are to be obtained from prospective suppliers.
An official University receipt is issued to the purchaser upon receipt of any proceeds, as the sale of second hand equipment by the University is subject to GST. A tax invoice must be issued within 28 days if requested by the purchaser.
Items not considered saleable and not otherwise useful to the University, are to be dumped after liaising with the campus manager regarding the most appropriate method of removal.
If there is uncertainty determining which of the above methods of disposal is the most appropriate, queries should be directed to Finance.
To receive approval to dispose of assets you must complete the following form and have it approved by the Director of Finance - Asset Disposal Form.
Depreciation is charged centrally and is calculated by the straight line method over the estimated useful life of the asset.
When accountable fixed assets are sold or traded-in by a cost centre, the proceeds are credited to the relevant cost centre.

A Christmas to remember
"Christmas Lights?"
"Yeah Paddy, they're all the rage now…and I can let you have a set for only two pounds"
"Janey Mac, I don't know Gerry, two pounds is a lot of money. And anyway, what in God's name would I do with them"
"Ah ha Paddy, that's the beauty of em, you place them on your Christmas tree, starting from the top, down to the bottom, and there you have it, a mini version of the Blackpool illuminations, right there in the corner of the livin room…just think of it. You'll be the envy of all your neighbours and relatives"
"They sound awfully complicated to me, I think I'll just stick to the ordinary decorations…and anyway the last thing I bought from you, never bloody worked. Anyway, Maggie will go mental if I buy those yokes from you"
"Well Paddy, you're the one that'll miss out on a great bargain, their selling for six pounds in the shops, and just think what a great surprise it'll be. The kids will remember this Christmas forever, not to mention, the satisfaction Maggie I'll get, when that, stuck-up auld bitch of a sister in law of her's, see's those pretty little lights, flashing away in the corner…you'll be the one, they'll all look up, plus the fact, I'm throwing in a cardboard village to go with them as well"
It was the pride that overwhelmed Paddy Donnelly that day, the thought of being a hero to his kids, and their friends, and also the source of Marjorie's displeasure, Maggie's sister in-law, that finally sealed the deal.
This is what happened; Paddy presented the lights as a great surprise to his children and his wife Maggie one day before Christmas Eve. This was done so as not to arouse suspicion and scorn from Maggie in the form of sarcasm, or so Paddy thought…
"What are they Paddy? And where did you buy them?" These two questions were delivered in such a tone that could only mean one thing…trouble with a capital T.
Paddy had to think fast "before you say anything Maggie, they're all the rage at the moment, and they'll look fantastic around the Christmas tree" Paddy continued, the look on Maggie's face compelled him too. "The lights consist of twenty strands in sets of eight bulbs wired in series, this is done, so that if one bulb fails, only one strand will go out…which of course they won't go out, plus they come in three different colours, red, yellow and blue" Paddy paused to draw breath, he didn't get a chance to continue.
"That's double Dutch nonsense to me and well you know it" said Maggie, who was not in favour of this purchase, and was by this point beginning to lose it altogether
"All that information is on the box Maggie, and wait for it, you get a free cardboard village thrown in with these lights as well"
This last line is what saved Paddy, their youngest son Mark, was so excited about the card board village and the Christmas lights, that he could no longer contain his joy. "You're just the best dad in the world; can we put the lights and the village on the tree now dad, oh please dad, can we?"
"I suppose so" said Maggie," who was not a happy camper , before parting with her final barb "I hope for your sake Paddy, that you didn't buy those yokes, from that feckin eejit, Gerry Stanley"
"What do you take me for, Maggie, a complete fool altogether, I'd never buy anything from that con man again"
It was with a wry sense of humour that Declan Donnelly, Paddy and Maggie's eldest son looked back on the Christmas of sixty eight, as he was putting Christmas lights around his own tree. How could he ever forget it?
All was well in the Donnelly home, the Christmas lights were working perfectly on Christmas Eve, and Paddy was proud of himself, even Maggie was well pleased. He couldn't wait for the following day, when the obnoxious Marjorie, her husband Phil and there three brats would come over for their annual visit. And so it happened…
Jealously and envy go hand in hand, while Marjorie and Phil could not contain themselves, their three children were ecstatic about the apparition in the corner of their Aunt and Uncle's home. However, just when success seemed to be within reach of Paddy Donnelly, disaster struck. From the mouths of babes, are unpleasant truths spurned…"Some of the lights have gone out" said Mark.
"And some more have gone out as well" said Betty, one of the brats
"Not to worry said Paddy" as panic rose heavily in his chest."It's just a bulb gone, if one goes, a strand of eight go" said Paddy "It's a safety precaution, a clever idea, don't you think Phil?"
"I suppose so" said Phil, before continuing "They're new, aren't they, so they shouldn't give any trouble?"
This was an accusation as well as an insult. But Paddy just kept the head down while muttering "Where did I leave those spare bulbs?" Of which he knew the answer to, there were none.
"I can smell something burning" said Marjorie, and so it was, the Christmas tree was now on fire. All pandemonium broke out, with everyone running in all directions. Eventually the fire was put out and although the front room was in a sorry state; no one was hurt only a few of the kids with blackened faces.
"Come on Phil, gather up the children, were getting out of this death trap" Marjorie said in a most melodramatic fashion. It was a remark that Maggie would never forgive her for. Maggie was disconsolate and red faced, with shame, as she glowered at Paddy.
That was a long time ago, dad might have got away with it, Declan thought, for Paddy did blame Marjorie for sabotaging the lights and Maggie believed him, that is until they both bumped into Gerry Stanley who innocently asked Paddy, "Did the Christmas lights I sold you, go down well". But then again that is another story altogether.

London loves a themed restaurant. Whether it be hot dogs or lobster, circus or sex shop, the appeal is there. As of last week it's time to make some space for a new theme: Balls. Meatballs to be correct, though not your usual cheap beef mince ones. And actually not necessarily meat at all.
The Australian chef Bonnie Porter has set up shop on the wonderful Greek Street, where every restaurant you pass is (or should be) on your 'must go' list (Bo Drake/10 Greek Street/Bibimbap). Unsurprisingly it's a small space, though there is an (even smaller) downstairs with a cute bar.
The menu is straight forward: you have a choice of five types of balls (£8 for four), which come with five different sauces, served in pretty copper pans. There are the delicious confit salmon balls with dill, or the quinoa, beetroot and feta balls (yup – meat free). Or there are the pork, romanesco & aioli balls (my fave). And for those who like their meatballs as close as possible to the original, there are the (far superior to normal) Wagyu beef balls. Something for everyone: from the veggie to the health-focused to the meat lover.
The sauces apparently can go with any of the balls. We still found it a touch tricky choosing which went with what. The tomato is a safe bet with all of them, I thought the pesto went well with the salmon (David disagreed), the Romanesco sauce is a match made in heaven with the pork meatballs.
Sides are thick cut chips, or salad or mash. But really if you go for the quinoa with a more meaty option you don't really need sides. The meatballs and sauce alone are really filling.
And then you have desert, which I never skip. David, being a Latino, insisted on the Tres Leche, which I would never have chosen (purely due to my ignorance) and it was the best thing ever (see photo below). I went for the chocolate brownie, which sounds boring but it wasn't as it was topped with icecream and candy floss. Lots of different flavours and textures and the whole thing was a massive treat.
Prices are super reasonable, even without the 50% off food for their soft launch (which was last week). A glass of their Nero D'Avola is £4 and they are fairly big glasses. Their Macchiatos were also delicious.
I'm pretty sure this is going to be a success story, and you'll certainly have a ball of a time there (sorry, couldn't resist).

Unique Rubber Flooring System Brings Nature's Designs to Interior Applications 03/03/2011 Johnsonite®, a Tarkett company and provider of the world's most integrated high-performance flooring system, introduces Folio, a playful collection of rubber designs modeled after nature's beautiful foliage patterns. Consisting of six designs based on tree, branch and leaf forms, the natural patterns in the new Folio collection bring a literal aspect to environmental awareness. Stylized and simplified, the designs form intriguing patterns of positive and negative space. With each tile, every pattern element is defined by its texture and the design is formed by the light, shadow and reflectance of the various textures. Ideal for spaces that require a comfortable, natural ambiance, the Folio collection mixes well with a wide range of interior styles – from classic and transitional to the clean lines of retro and modern. The designs in the collection work together, alone and in pairs, as well as offering endless design possibilities when mixed with solid tiles or other textures. Combining areas of two or more colors in the same pattern can create an unusual effect. Folio options include: Arbor and Branches Arbor has a single, raised branch motif, flowing diagonally across a solid matte ground. It is clean, elegant and very simple. Arbor mixes well in combination with Branches, a design in the same style, with four branches in a diagonal arrangement. On their own, each of these designs creates a beautiful cohesive floor; used together they create a compelling rhythmic design flow. Botany and Seasons Botany and Seasons are stylized in design. Botany has two sets of simple branches; one curved and one straight, with each element having a distinct texture. The smooth, glossy texture of the flowing branches lays over the hammered texture of the more linear branches. Both are seen against a matte, slightly rougher background texture. Seasons is more abstracted, with smooth, conceptual leaf shapes spread across a hammered field background. The imagery creates a visual of leaves that have fallen naturally across a forest floor. Grasses and River Cane With a spa-like feel, Grasses features bamboo leaves against a rice paper background texture, anchored by a grid structure. River Cane is a larger scale version of Grasses. Combining the two designs will create an interesting play on scale, as well as offering the interior designer some unique options in space planning. Grasses and River Cane have a fresh, simple aesthetic with a different 'signature' than the other four designs. They are less stylized and more literal, while at the same time having the complexity offered by the combination of curvilinear and geometric elements. Made of rubber, the Folio collection has a long life cycle and is low maintenance. Over time rubber flooring offers greater resource efficiency than many other materials and the ability for the product to be recycled reduces its impact on the environment. As a industry leader in sustainability in North America, Tarkett and its Johnsonite company are committed to creating products like the Folio collection and to offering solutions that balance what's good for people, the environment and economics. All Johnsonite products help contribute toward obtaining Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) points.

I was recently arrested by the police and interviewed at a police station. They told me that I was being released but they didn't give me any bail conditions. What does this mean? Am I on bail and when will I find out what is happening next?
The rules around police bail changed significantly on 1 April 2017. Before this, the police could release individuals following interview at the police station on bail and impose conditions for them to comply with. This bail could continue for up to one year whilst the police investigated the offence and came to a decision about progressing the case to court or dealing with it in some other way.
The law left those being released from the police station with an ongoing investigation facing lengthy delays whilst very little was sometimes happening to progress the investigation by the police. The change in the law was designed to stop this from happening in the future. The police can now only impose bail for up to 28 days unless strict criteria are met and rules followed to extend this. The benefit of the new rules was expected to be that investigations would progress faster but it has had the opposite effect.
Instead of releasing suspects on bail, the police now release them "under investigation". This means that there is no bail, but the police investigation continues. There is no set date to return to the police station and answer bail, and as a result there is often a lack of progression in the police investigation. There is no time limit for how long the police can have someone "under investigation" and individuals could wait longer than a year for the police to make a decision. The police still have a responsibility to notify anyone "under investigation" of the outcome of their case once that investigation has concluded, but the problem now is that it is not clear when the investigation should conclude.
It sounds like you have been released from the police station in this way. If you have, you will not be subject to any bail conditions and there is no set date to find out what is happening next. If you don't already have one, you should contact a solicitor as soon as possible and ask them to assist you in making enquiries to check if this is correct and chase up an outcome from the police.
Ben Hoare Bell LLP has several specialist criminal defence Solicitors who can assist you with queries such as this. To speak to a Solicitor please contact us today by phone or by emailing email@example.com.
Please note that this advice was correct at the time of writing. However there may have been changes in the law or procedure since that date. If you are in doubt you should obtain up to date legal advice.

Join us at publicservices.international - for all the latest news, resources and struggles from around the world.
We are no longer updating world-psi.org and it will be progressively phased out: all content will be migrated to the new site and old links will redirect eventually.
As revelations flow from the latest tax haven exposé dubbed the Paradise Papers, the Global Alliance for Tax Justice renews the call for governments to take immediate action to end tax havens and make multinational corporations and the wealthy pay their share of taxes.
Noting that revenue lost to tax havens is fueling poverty and rapidly worsening inequality across the world, the Global Alliance for Tax Justice says a priority measure should be to establish an inclusive intergovernmental Global Tax Commission under the United Nations, where all countries have an equal say in setting international tax policies.
At the national level, Global Alliance for Tax Justice members continue to rally under the #EndTaxHavens banner and demand that their governments implement progressive tax policies in order to fund the public services such as healthcare, education, clean water, affordable housing and transportation that are the real drivers to end poverty and inequality.
Progressive tax policies include closing tax haven loopholes, requiring public country-by-country reporting for all multinational corporations, and ending race-to-the-bottom tax competition between countries. Strong protection is also required for whistleblowers acting in the public's interest.
The Tax Justice Network estimates that governments are losing $500bn a year in tax revenues due to tax avoidance by large companies around the world. An additional $200bn a year is estimated to be lost due to the undeclared offshore wealth of tax evading individuals.
It's past time to put an end to the human costs of global tax avoidance and evasion that are facilitated by tax havens. Every dollar lost to tax havens is a dollar that could be invested in building public schools and hospitals, or delivering clean water and safe streets. Without the domestic resource funds provided through progressive tax policies, national governments cannot deliver on their human rights obligations to people. The poorest countries and the poorest people – especially women and girls, pay the highest price.
Tolerating all forms of avoidance as legal and refusing to take measures to minimize revenue loss through tax avoidance is incentivizing tax dodging with impunity. The Global Alliance for Tax Justice is committed to working with members and committed allies to ensure policymakers dismantle the global web of secrecy and harmful tax laws that facilitate tax avoidance and evasion.
