Argenport is falling, which means we have choices to make. Important choices. Do we rebel, or stand by the city? Do we hide, or do we fight? Do we crush our enemies, or do we just want a really good dinner? Let's take a look at Cirso's Choice!
As with any modal card, there is a lot going on here. Let's talk about the first mode: you gain an aegis and 6 health. Face aegis and extra life are both nice things to have, but you generally want this as a side benefit to another card. If you are facing a dedicated burn deck this card is stellar, but since the Flame Blast nerf that archetype has not been a particularly successful archetype. Since this is a fast spell it could be possible to use the face aegis as a pseudo counter spell, though this is obviously clunky in that role. It should be noted that 6 health is a lot, and if we get to a world where some Elysian Lifeforce deck become popular, this is an interesting tool. Still, I think this is just too inefficient to be worth a slot in your average deck. Cirso may be pigging out on this dish, but I am not so interested.
When it comes down to it, the second mode is what brings home the bacon. Yes, 2 damage to everything for 4 power is a lot worse than Hailstorm or Lightning Storm, but the advantage of fast speed is quite handy. Playing end-of-turn Cirso's Choice to eat up some pesky grenadins or yetis will let you have all your power available on your own turn to play a dinosaur or a pig giant. Cleaning up a Bandit Queen plus all her friends on the turn she is played is quite handy! Still in terms of raw efficiency, this is a bit loose. While it is possible that this sees some play as a main deck card, I don't see any danger of this hogging the limelight.
Things get most exciting when this piggy goes to the market! The fact that Cirso's Choice is both a Time card and a Primal card means that if could fit into either type of market. Many people have noted that the Time Merchant is probably the best on the basis of his body, but Time is honestly lacking in good interaction. There isn't much in the way of Time sweepers or Time counterspells. Maybe you are looking to play this with Auralian Merchant for certain match ups? Obviously you would rather have access to Lightning Storm or Hailstorm in a lot of spots, but you don't always get to have such nice things. If you are playing a midrangy Elysian deck this allows you to get a sweeper from your Auralian Merchant when the occasion calls for it.
It should also be noted that this is an uncommon, so I am willing to go ham on this in limited. Lightning Storm is quite good in the right deck, even though you rarely cast it on turn 2. Cirso's Choice being fast does give you some interesting The specifics of the environment matter a lot, since a world packed with aggressive units like set 1 draft will like this a lot more than a slower format like sealed.
Overall I think Cirso's Choice has potential for a few fringe applications, but is unlikely to see significant competitive-tier play. I may not be willing to go whole-hog on this card, but I'm happy that it is on the menu! Thanks to Dire Wolf Digital for giving me the chance to spoil a card! I'm extremely excited for Fall of Argenport, and I'm sure all of you are too!

penkeyboard of Miss Miranda Birch is The Petticoating of Petunia Pinkpanties: From Salesman To Sissy Maid.
This is a `bundle' of the three stories "Knickered", "Uniformed" and "Transformed".
A salesman caught defrauding the firm by his young, attractive female boss is relieved when she offers to deal with his crime herself rather than calling in the police. But if he thinks he is getting off lightly, he is very much mistaken! He is taken off to her country home. There, wearing only a pair of her knickers, he is soon feeling the first lashes from the whip of this dominant beauty! And in the morning, he is presented with — a maid's uniform! HIS uniform! His transformation into `Petunia Pinkpanties' has begun! The humiliation continues, with brow-beating lectures and frequent whippings when he fails to meet the high standards his exacting new Mistress expects! And soon the miscreant finds himself transformed into a sissy maid in full uniform under the strict authority of Ms Palmer and her mature Housekeeper! And his position is a permanent one!

"The minute you start compromising for the sake of massaging somebody's ego, that's it, game over" – Gordon Ramsay
Gordon Ramsay is a Scottish born British chef and restaurateur, and his restaurants have been awarded 15 Michelin stars. He is a world-class performer and knows how to cook an excellent meal with the ingredients and resources that are available to him. Gordon is well known by a broad audience through his TV shows. In his latest TV program he guides a number of top talented chefs through an 'obstacle cooking race' and ultimately awards the winner with the title 'Master Chef'.
When I thought about how you keep a SAP project on time, budget and quality, what came to mind is that doing SAP projects is similar to running an 'obstacle race'. In order to pass all the obstacles you, like Ramsay, need to be fully aware of the quality of the available ingredients and resources. With ingredients I mean things like: standards, leading practices, software functionality, hardware, infrastructure, processes, data, policies, procedures, regulations, performance indicators, etc, and for resources think about: people, vendors, thought leaders, dollars, facilities, methods, tools, etc.
Once you are aware of your capability to deliver, the next steps are to explore the course of the race and its potential obstacles, and to continuously update your plans. This is an iterative process throughout the project lifecycle. Be mindful of the fact that although an obstacle may look familiar to you, it can behave very different. So what has worked for you in the past, may not work this time. Be creative and fully leverage the insights from your team. Examples of obstacles that you may encounter are: poor requirements definition, misalignment of key stakeholders, silo-ed behavior of teams, unqualified people in key positions, poor data integrity, severe software defects, poor testing, indecisiveness of the key decision makers, weak support organization, inadequate organizational change management, insufficient communications, unplanned work, scope changes, resource conflicts, lower than average vendor performance, etc.
Now let's go into more detail on some of the obstacles and determine actions that you can take:
- Requirements: when organizations struggle with defining business and technical requirements, there oftentimes isn't a coherent vision that is well articulated, communicated and shared. Fragments of the 'to-be state' are lingering and waiting for qualified individuals to take on to put more detail and definition to it, such that they can ultimately be glued together in a high level solution architecture that can function as a reference model for requirements definition. Organizations who initiate a SAP project, must have qualified resources available that deeply understand SAP, for example solution architects. They are responsible for solution management from start to finish, from requirement to implementation
- Silo-ed behavior: with the implementation of SAP, due to it is integrative nature; organizations are forced to shift from vertical to horizontal behavior as business processes go straight through many functional disciplines. From an organizational change perspective, this is for many organizations a big hurdle to take, especially when activities and transactions shift from one silo to another, for example from finance closer to end users in supply chain processes. The key action is to create the awareness and understanding at all levels in the organizations, and find common ground between the involved functional business teams to work out an effective, practical model
- Software defects: although you can trust that SAP is thoroughly testing its software, there will always be software defects that require their assistance. Especially when you are implementing fairly new SAP functionality, make sure that you have the right level of attention and support from SAP itself, as there will be cases where the system integrator cannot help you. Get to know the experts
As you can tell, there are many possible obstacles that can derail your SAP project and the potential impact can be very high because of its broad and deep exposure. SAP solutions permeate through the body of the organization and can cause immediate operational disruptions, and it's on this particular aspect that SAP projects are quite different then other technology projects. It is very important that senior leadership has this kind of awareness in mind at all the times when they initiate, plan and execute SAP projects. Its imperative to start with the end state in mind with a well-articulated vision and roadmap, work all the way backwards to the start of the project, uncover the needs to be successful and identify the possible obstacles that can throw you off-guard. To make that happen, invest in qualified people who have been in the field and know what needs to be done. Or in Gordon Ramsay's context, identify the 'Master Chef' who has proven his ability to cook and can serve you an excellent meal.

Halle, 47, didn't fail to impress in her first red carpet appearance since giving birth to her first son, Maceo, in October 2013. She looked incredible in a slinky, low-cut black dress at the Acapulco Film Festival in Mexico. The dress was simple but glam, and had gorgeous metal fringe all down the sides of the dress, which enhanced her infamous curves.

"I feel fantastic," Halle told CNN's Alina Cho about her pregnancy in April 2013. "This has been the biggest surprise of my life, to tell you the truth. I thought I was kind of past the point where this could be a reality for me. So it's been a big surprise and the most wonderful."

The temperature was hovering around 40. It was raining, windy, miserable. I can't believe he survived 28 laps in those conditions. Nobody fell over. Nobody froze. I was the official team photographer for Dan's team, Celerity Cycling. Here's my favorite picture:
No, he didn't win. But he wasn't last. And it was good to be back at a bike race, screaming my face off. Here's another picture of Dan:
I was shocked to see how many teams were out in full force already, here in the middle of February, with the weather so dreary. And it was a fast race, too! Nobody got fat over the winter, and they're all rip-roaring and ready to go. Well, great for them. Dan needs more miles.
Here's a link to all the pictures I took of the race, including all five guys on Dan's team, Celerity Cycling. After this dreadful ordeal in the freezing rain, those hot July days in the blazing sun are going to be welcome.

Remove "Related Products" ads (Removal Guide) - Jun 2017 update
Related Products ads are provided by potentially unwanted programs
Related Products pop-up virus is a potentially dangerous program that typically sneaks into the computer system to provide all forms of advertisements, mostly banners. It belongs to adware category[1] and it should be removed ASAP. If you notice annoying pop-ups, banners, in-text link ads and similar content marked as "Related Products" appearing on your computer screen when you browse the Internet, you should scan your computer with an anti-spyware program and see what adware program is running on your computer. It is likely that below such ads you will see the name of the adware that serves these ads for you – it is likely to be written in a fine print and say, for instance, "ads by Vidsqaure," "ads by rightcoupon" or "powered by Parental Control." Such adware displays delusive advertisements mostly, so you should not rely on any content it presents. Usually, the associated adware delivers price comparisons, discount codes, or coupons claiming that user can save money while shopping online. Unfortunately, most of these ads are illusory. Read below to find out why you should not trust ads by Related Products.
Adware-type software is described as potentially unwanted program (PUP) due to following reasons:
- It tends to infiltrate the computer system seamlessly;
- It tracks user's personally non-identifiable information, but it might track personally identifiable information as well;
- It slows down the computer's performance and makes web browsers lag, not respond or even crash;
- It delivers multiple advertisements, which are usually complemented with third-party hyperlinks. Unfortunately, some of these ads might cause redirects to dangerous websites[2] that are not even related to the content of the ad.
You should be very careful if you notice these ads on your computer screen. Just like "Powered by" ads, they are meant to drive web traffic to particular web pages, which can be dangerous. Keep in mind that high-risk websites are likely to promote questionable downloads, so you should refrain yourself from downloading any content from websites that the described ad-supported virus forces you to visit. If you want to secure your computer, consider installing a reliable anti-malware software to remove Related Products automatically. We recommend using Reimage Reimage Cleaner Intego anti-malware. You can also try to identify the culprit on your own – to make this task easier to you, we have prepared an informative Related Products removal tutorial which you can find below this article. Related Products banners typically show up on the screen when browsing through online shops. Clicking on them can take you to dangerous websites.
Computer can get infected with adware due to lack of attention to software installation options
Many people ask us how and when did Related Products adware manage to enter their computer systems. In fact, the answer is very simple – such adware spreads via freeware and shareware, but many people are still unaware of it. Computer users make one main mistake that allows spyware-type programs enter their computers. They tend to rely on Default/Standard installation options which, in reality, are untrustworthy. These settings conceal the agreements to install optional applications like adware, browser hijackers, and other PUPs, so as a result, the user installs them alongside the selected program without even knowing it. For this reason, you should opt out these installation settings and choose Custom or Advanced installation method. Then you have to deselect the agreements to install optional software. That is all you need to do.
If the described adware has already infiltrated your computer system and now these commercial offers show up on your screen continuously, you should not waste your time and solve this problem without a delay. All you need to do is to uninstall the ad-supported software and delete associated extensions or files.
Tutorial on how to remove Related Products ads
If you do not want to encounter described ads anymore, remove Related Products virus from your PC using one of two methods we provide. You can delete the adware program manually – for that, we prepared a full and in-detail tutorial that is given below the article. Alternative method to that is to run a system scan with anti-malware program to perform automatic Related Products removal. We are sure about one thing – these ads are unlikely to help you to save money, because they typically aim to lure victims into particular websites to boost their rankings and generate pay-per-click revenue at the same time. Besides, annoying advertisements appearing on websites you visit typically cover part of website's content, and that is obviously not an acceptable activity. From our point of view, there is no reason to keep such adware installed on your PC. It is annoying, deceptive, and basically hardly useful program. If you want to browse the web without interruptions and make your computer work smoothly, do not delay the removal and complete this task right now.
You may remove virus damage with a help of Reimage Reimage Cleaner Intego. SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner and Malwarebytes are recommended to detect potentially unwanted programs and viruses with all their files and registry entries that are related to them.

Access your website securely from any location
When you work on the domain, site, blog, or different project that requires constant management, content creation, or coding, you may need to connect to the server and content management service more often. It is a hassle when your website is protected from suspicious connections and unauthorized IP addresses.
The best solution for creating a tighter network could be a dedicated/fixed IP address. If you make your IP address static and set to your device, you can connect to the CMS from any location and do not create any additional issues for server or network manager that need to monitor connections and activities. This is how you bypass some of the authentications factors and can remotely use your banking accounts without triggering suspicious with each login.
VPN software providers like Private Internet Access can help you with such settings and offer the option to control the online reputation and manage projects easily from any part of the world. It is better to clock the access to your website from different IP addresses. So you can keep the project safe and secure when you have the dedicated IP address VPN and protected access to the content management system.
Backup files for the later use, in case of the malware attack
Computer users can suffer various losses due to cyber infections or their own faulty doings. Software issues created by malware or direct data loss due to encryption can lead to problems with your device or permanent damage. When you have proper up-to-date backups, you can easily recover after such an incident and get back to work.
It is crucial to create updates to your backups after any changes on the device, so you can get back to the point you were working on when malware changes anything or issues with the device causes data or performance corruption. Rely on such behavior and make file backup your daily or weekly habit.
When you have the previous version of every important document or project you can avoid frustration and breakdowns. It comes in handy when malware occurs out of nowhere. Use Data Recovery Pro for the system restoring purpose.

Hi There, hope my previous review of JBL Charge 2 Plus speaker was useful. Today, we'll look at the best Bluetooth speakers under 5000 in India. Read on!
Whether you are known for the terrific house parties you host or if you simply appreciate good music, Bluetooth speakers are a must-have for this generation. If you invest in a good portable speaker, you can have the best quality music on-the-move, without the wires holding you down and you need not even go broke over them.
I first came across a Best Bluetooth speaker at a friend's party roughly a couple of years ago, and since then I have tried & tested a lot of different models. There are plenty of best Bluetooth wireless speakers available in the market. Here, I have made a list of the best Bluetooth speakers under 5000 in India.
Things to Keep in Mind While Buying Bluetooth Speakers under 5000
Bluetooth speakers come handy in a variety of situations. Whether a meeting, road trip, camping or house parties, Bluetooth Speakers are the jacks of all trades. But, before you go looking for best portable speakers under 5000, there are a few things you should know in order to select the best one suited for you.
Bluetooth Compatibility
There are different versions of Bluetooth available, however, you need to select a speaker that's compatible with whatever version your Smartphone or tablet has. The Bluetooth 4.0 is the most advanced Bluetooth version available in the best Bluetooth speakers under 3000 & above and these devices are also compatible with NFC technology.
NFC technology means that you simply have to touch your phone to the speaker to be able to start playing music. But if your device is not compatible with it, what would be the point of spending the extra money? Thus, first make sure of your device's configurations before deciding on a speaker.
Features that Need Not be a Must-Have
There are quite a few models to choose from when you look for best Bluetooth speakers in India under 5000. They vary in their price depending upon the number of functions that they offer.
You can have the most basic Bluetooth Speaker whose only job is to play music to the slightly more advanced ones that come with flash-lights and an option to charge your mobile as well. It all depends on you and your requirements whether you need all those extra options or not. Be calm and judicious and don't get bedazzled by all those fancy words, when selecting the best wireless Bluetooth speakers.
Battery and Charging
As mentioned above, the more features a speaker has, the sooner it will run out of battery. Thus, it is advisable to go for ones that have inbuilt batteries that can be charged (just like your Smartphone) instead of those with removable batteries that need to be replaced.
You should also, with due diligence, think about the battery backup of the model that you plan on purchasing. I would advise you to ask your friends whose needs match yours and who have already been using some of these speakers.
Now, without further ado, here are the Top 10 Bluetooth speakers under 5000 in India.

This beauty is a personal favourite and what I am currently using for a while now. It is great for playing bass music. It comes with a bass port built in which ensures superior audio quality.

To know more about this product, check out this detailed JBL Flip 2 review.
5. Logitech X300 – Bluetooth Speakers (Black/Brown)
Logitech is a trusted brand internationally and these speakers have a lot of features to look forward to. First of all, their angled design helps disperse the sound better and gives you as good a stereo surround sound experience as can be expected of a portable speaker. The bass is deep and the ranges of mid and high sounds are also good in quality.

6. iBall Blu-FI X7 – Bluetooth Portable Speakers
These speakers from iBall are definitely a good choice at this competitive price range. But, the real reason that this product from iBall is grabbing eyeballs (too soon for the pun?) is the number of added functions it lets you enjoy. This speaker can also be used as your table clock. It has a LED display and an option to set alarms.
What distinguishes this speaker from the majority of the rest discussed here is that it has the option of both Micro SD card and FM Radio connectivity. So, you can enjoy music over a wider variety of sources than other speakers. To top it all off, it can also be controlled with a remote that comes with it.
- It comes with FM connectivity.
- It is Micro SD card enabled.

The sheer awesomeness of this product comes from the number of functions it offers and at the price that it does so. The LED display is bright and super-visible. The playback quality holds well even in FM mode. Overall, the battery performance is pretty decent as well.
7. Zoook Rocker Armor XL (30W) – Bluetooth Speaker with Twin Bass Radiators and 4400 mah Battery (Black)
As can be judged at the first look at these speakers, these are some heavy duty stuff. They have twin bass radiators and the impact of beats from these is truly exceptional. The design is such that it can undergo a lot. It is a waterproof Bluetooth speaker, also dust proof, scratch proof and shockproof. In other words, they are as indestructible as it gets.
The sound quality is exceptional and the noise & echo cancellation is pretty good. Most important of all, these speakers can be connected to more than one device simultaneously. That is, at a given time, it can play music from up to 2 different devices and enhance the fun factor of the playback.

8. Sony SRS-X11 – Compact Portable Bluetooth Wireless Speaker with NFC (Black)
In my personal opinion, no list of audio and sound equipment can be complete without featuring a Sony product. The audio quality in their Smartphone and other devices has been known to be the best in class. These speakers, too, add to that long list of high-quality sound delivery.
They also come with a speaker pairing function. Which means, if you have more than one of these, they can be connected to each other, place them across each other diagonally and you'll have superior surround sound.
But the main catch of this speaker is the sleek and compact design. It can fit in your palm and yet delivers powerful audio. It's definitely eye-catchy and available in 4 colours so you can have your pick. The connectivity is via Bluetooth as well as AUX cable and the battery backup of 12 hours is quite exceptional.
- It offers one touch connectivity via NFC.
- It can be used for Hands-free calling.
- It provides 12-hour battery backup.
- It has a better sound than most of the other speakers in this price range.
- Not many control buttons on the body.
- A bit on the costlier side, but within the price range.
Final Verdict
If you enjoy your music volumes up, these speakers won't disappoint you. The sheer awesomeness of this can only be experienced once you use it. Though it is a bit costly if you can afford it be rest assured that you cannot go wrong with it.
9. Altec Lansing Mini H2O IMW257 – Bluetooth Speaker (Black)
The Altec Lansing Mini H20 is another rock solid and tough-guy sort of speaker that I have had a chance to use. It is perpetually everything proof, be it sand, shock, water, snow or scratch.
You can easily use it to play music underwater up to the depth of 1 meter. If that is not exceptional at this price, then I don't know what is. However, after you have used these underwater, make sure that they are completely dry before playing them again, in order to avoid distortions.
It has a dual driver that delivers good quality sound. Also, it comes with a carabiner so you can easily attach it your belts and such for enhanced portability. The connectivity is through both Bluetooth and AUX cable and the connectivity range of the Bluetooth is up to 50 feet. It comes with a built-in microphone and a battery life that goes beyond its promised 6 hours.
- It provides exceptional audio quality and delivers super bass.
- It is durable, i.e. tough to damage.
- It offers a high connectivity range.
- These speakers are waterproof.
- You may experience distortion when played at full volume.
Final Verdict
When considering to buy the best Bluetooth speakers under 5000 in India, this speaker is an amazing purchase. The best feature is definitely the underwater playback option. You just need to be careful to cover all ports, such as charging, while using it underwater. The name is not as well-known as JBL or Sony, but the product delivers all that it promises.
10. Portronics POR-280 – Sound Pot Wireless Bluetooth Speaker (Black)
These speakers are designed specially to deliver, superior quality bass. Apart from that, it is also very high on the style factor.
It is sleek and cylindrical in shape, with a rubberized exterior that looks and feels good.
It is compatible with both Android and iOS devices. The connectivity range is great too and you can get the clear audio up to 10 meters.
Simultaneous playback option is available. That means that it can be connected to more than one device simultaneously and you can enjoy your music.
There are also added light effects that can enhance your music experience. The battery backup is decent at 4-5 hour.
- It provides great value for money.
- It has a sleek finish.
- For enhanced musical experience, it offers Lightning effect.
- It comes with multiple connections.
- It can get dirty easily, so you have to be careful about the surroundings.
- It has a tendency to vibrate at high volumes, so handle it carefully.
Final Verdict
It is indeed an underrated brand but they surprise you with their performance. Everything about these speakers, the sound quality, the built quality and the look are as good as it gets. Though there are other speakers that are better in terms of quality but considering the price, these are definitely worth a try.
Bluetooth speakers are available in a wide range of price and functionality. There are best Bluetooth speakers under 1000 as well as best Bluetooth speakers under 2000. Some can even easily go as high up as Rs. 10,000-12,000. But unless you are really a professional musician or something and care about minute details, there is no point in spending so much.
Hopefully, this article will help you decide which one is the best-suited device for you from the best Bluetooth speakers in India under 5000. As it is clear, there are a variety of options to choose from, whatever be your needs and price range. A good equipment can make all the difference in setting up the mood of a party or even for personal use. So, choose wisely!

Let's say Donald J. Trump wants to make good on his promise to improve the lives of American workers.
Let's imagine this White House, which came to power free from the political debts typically owed to unions or Wall Street, is genuinely focused on helping the nation's miners, waitresses and Uber drivers.
What, then, should President Trump do?
The question might seem fanciful given the continuing chaos in Washington. But with Mr. Trump's new choice for labor secretary, R. Alexander Acosta, heading toward a likely confirmation, at some point the president's cabinet will actually start governing. And then, it will face an unusual opportunity: the freedom to create policies potentially beholden only to the American workers who put Mr. Trump into office.
This is a potentially transformative moment, not just within politics, but also inside millions of companies grappling with a changing economy and expanding worker demands. So over the past few weeks, I asked more than two dozen labor thinkers — from both the right and left; former officials and government skeptics; union leaders and strident capitalists — what kinds of federal innovations could remake American working life. I particularly asked for bipartisan ideas.
In general, and surprisingly, there is broad enthusiasm about the future of American work (even as there are sharp disagreements about whether this president's policies will help or hurt workers).
"There are lots of new opportunities we wouldn't have even dreamed about a few decades ago," said Andy Stern, former president of the S.E.I.U., one of the largest labor unions. "There are great ideas out there, and people who want to experiment. But so much depends on what the government is willing to encourage."
In particular, say both corporate chieftains and organized labor advocates, there is an opportunity for agencies like the Labor Department to become innovation catalysts, using technology to rethink how workers are trained and find jobs. The government could revolutionize employee benefits by making them more portable. And federal departments could become knowledge centers, spreading good ideas from state to state.
Many of these ideas draw on the creativity that has remade places like Silicon Valley. Take, for instance, how the internet has changed the way white-collar workers find jobs.
"You don't find a lot of blue-collar workers on LinkedIn," said Seth Harris, deputy labor secretary under President Barack Obama. "But the unemployment system reaches tens of millions of blue-collar workers each year. If government got more sophisticated about using technology to train workers with the skills companies need, and to encourage online job matching, that could transform things."
Improving job training isn't a far-fetched concept. Nearly every major university and college now offers online curriculums that evolve, semester to semester, in response to new technologies or what employers say they are looking for. But those innovations have not much influenced how the Labor Department spends billions each year on training for unemployed workers.
"There's strong bipartisan support for work force development," Mr. Harris said. "But right now, the private sector changes so quickly that by the time we get a training program in place to help out-of-work truck drivers learn computer programming, what we're teaching is out of date. We can change that."
What's more, the Labor Department is perfectly poised to use technology to reduce what is known as "frictional unemployment" — in which jobs go unfilled because workers and companies have trouble finding each other.
Most online career marketplaces, like LinkedIn, cater to college-educated professionals. But, as Mr. Harris pointed out, LinkedIn is not primarily designed to help waiters or home health aides find work. And because such workers often have less money to pay for online memberships, those kinds of networks are less likely to emerge on their own.
However, Mr. Trump's new labor secretary could create those marketplaces, as well as encourage companies to train people on the job. "We need more apprenticeship programs," said Senator Susan Collins, Republican of Maine.
Right now, such programs are hobbled by regulations that make it hard for companies to take on midcareer interns. But "there's support from both parties for helping workers learn," Ms. Collins said. "That's not a partisan issue."
This White House could also expand the concept of employment to benefit the millions of Americans who are freelancers, independent contractors or otherwise part of the "gig economy."
"If you make it easier to hire more people, that's both pro-business and pro-worker," said Oren Cass, the domestic policy director of Mitt Romney's presidential campaign. But in recent decades, as courts and regulators tussled over what, exactly, constitutes an employee, "we've made it harder to hire, even as it's gotten easier to become Uber, a company that succeeds with hardly any formal employees," Mr. Cass said.
Companies like Uber are terrified to offer benefits like health care. At Uber, for example, that increases the chances that a court will declare a driver an employee, which requires Uber to pay insurance and taxes, and makes the company liable if a driver harasses a passenger or causes an accident.
"But what if there was a category of employment that was somewhere between a full-time employee and an independent contractor?" Mr. Cass asked. "What if Uber could say to a driver, 'We're willing to contribute to your health care costs, but we don't want to be on the hook for everything.'"
Creating a new category of employment could be risky for workers. Companies could opt to do away with formal employees altogether, and make it harder for workers to organize to fight for their rights. But such innovations could also be paired with flexible protections for workers, like "portable benefits." Government policies could let employees transfer their health care plans or 401(k) accounts as easily as they switch cellphone carriers. That might push companies to compete for workers with the same ferocity that Verizon battles AT&T.
Ideas like these have been around for a while, but have been stymied by old political divisions. Mr. Trump, however, is a disruptive force.
"There's an opportunity right now for the Labor Department to redefine its role, to help people stop thinking about the relationship between companies and workers as always win-lose," said Eric Liu, a former policy adviser to President Bill Clinton and author of the forthcoming "You're More Powerful Than You Think: A Citizen's Guide to Making Change Happen."
"If Trump is smart, he'll start stealing ideas from the right and left," Mr. Liu added.
He could also steal from successful companies by publicizing good ideas. Companies like Costco and Allstate, which have prospered by giving employees higher wages and better benefits, deserve more attention. They haven't been feted by this administration yet, but they should be. The White House should also propagandize the workplace nudges and experiments that help both workers and a company's bottom line.
It is, of course, unclear if these are the kinds of ideas Mr. Trump or his cabinet will embrace. But there are strong reasons to hope they might. Mr. Trump was elected largely by workers. He is, uniquely, a president not beholden to union orthodoxies or industrial dogmas.
"I've always referred to the Department of Labor as the Department of Opportunity," said Thomas E. Perez, who served as secretary of labor under Mr. Obama and is now running to head the Democratic National Committee.
In the most recent election, workers showed how powerfully they can upend political prognostications when they want to — and how much they are willing to cross party lines to get what they want.
"I'm not at all convinced Trump actually cares about workers," Mr. Perez said. "But I'm willing to be surprised."

Sustaining California Agriculture in an Uncertain Future
Published 7/22/09
The report Sustaining California Agriculture in an Uncertain Future shows that California agriculture can flourish despite diminishing water supply and future uncertainty from climate change, but it will require great strides in increasing the water efficiency of the agricultural sector.
Many farmers and irrigation districts have already been making water-use efficiency improvements. Yet the analysis estimates that potential water savings of 4.5 – 6 million acre-feet each year can be achieved by expanding the use of efficient irrigation technologies and management practices.
Interview with Craig McNamara
Extended Interview
During a June 2009 visit, Craig McNamara discussed irrigation and conservation programs on his farm with Pacific Institute researchers:
What was the main difference after the transition to drip?
When we made that change to drip it really made significant water savings.
How about cost savings vs furrow irrigation?
No, I wouldn't say it's a cost savings at all. I couldn't make that comparison because furrow is very, very cheap in terms of tractor pulling a blade that makes the furrow. If you're pumping from a shallow area, the cost in electricity is a factor, but not so significant.
What kind of cost's do you expect for drip irrigation... up-front costs?
Your drip, of course, your up-front cost is about $1000 per acre. You've got an up-front cost there, and hopefully, over time rapidly you'll recoup that in electrical savings, water savings, and productivity. And we're very fortunate to partner with NRCS in EQIP Funding, and that provided approximately 50% of our overall cost to install our irrigation system. And I just want to say that the EQIP process, of registering and working with NRCS, is quite a remarkable one because I find that our local team here from NRCS is so proactive in assisting the farmer, encouraging the farmer to look at his or her operation and find out what project might work best for them and customize it. They as a team come out and assist me, in giving me information, providing background, as well as assisting in forming the application. Sometimes the application process can be initially daunting; it doesn't need to be because of the teamwork and assistance.
But for me personally, and I think each farmer will be different, as I mentioned, I didn't come from a farm background. I needed help. I needed all the help that I could possibly get when I finished up my mentoring project, and so I relied on Cooperative Extension; I relied on farm advisors, I talked to my local farmer friends. This was a natural for me – and that was 30 years ago. So we've done it ever since, and I think that many of my friends locally and in this region have found the experience to be very rewarding. Natural Resource Conservation Services are part of the USDA, United States Department of Food and Agriculture; it's our tax payer money and it's the best use that we can possibly expect. As a tax-payer, it's the best thing I think my taxes can go towards: it's the long-term conservation of our food supply.
What about fertilizer application? What's your thoughts on alternative fertilizer applications?
There's a very specific program. As a matter of fact, I just heard last week that one of our grants was approved by NRCS through the EQIP program to grow the cover crops I mentioned that help us fertilize our food. What a great way to go. Let me backtrack a second. Synthetic fertilizers give us a tremendous boost in production, whether it's corn, soybeans, walnuts, tomatoes, whatever it is. They are an important global tool for high yields in production. We need to use them carefully. Anything we put on this great soil of ours, as I showed from the sediment trap, that wonderful, yellow, fine sandy loam, can eventually go through it and down into our aquifers.
Unfortunately, in California over the last 50 years we've had quite a bit of contamination due to nitrogen application. So why not reduce them, those of us, those of the farmers who use ammonium sulfate, and other synthetics, be mindful of that. Test your soil. Test your water. Those of us who are growing organically can use the leguminous plants. That's what this recent EQIP loan did with us, was to offer us a break or incentive to grow more cover crops.
What was the main reason for implementing sustainable practices?
Conservation Security Program, CSP, has been perhaps one of the most rewarding programs in my three decades of farming. The reason is, we went out and did what we felt was right for the land, for the environment, for our neighbors, for our downstream users in California, by putting in sediment traps, tailwater ponds, removing invasive species, planting the hedgerows that we see here to create habitat for beneficial insects. We did that because we felt it was the right thing to do. And it cost; it cost us money. Over the 30-year period I bet it has probably cost $80-100,000 to do that appropriately. A few years back the CSP program came along and, through a very stringent application and recording process, prioritized farms and farmers in certain watersheds that were doing these beneficial stewardship projects on our land and in essence rewarded us with payments over a three-year period.
And so, number one, it was an acknowledgement that the practices that we've been implementing are appreciated by the citizens of the United States, and hopefully beneficial to one and all, and secondly, actually providing us with a financial incentive to do what we have been doing. It was remarkable. It's like an award, a recognition for something that we truly believe in. I don't think that we as a society of farmers who are frequently so strapped when it comes to the bottom line, can do it on our own. Yet the citizens of this great country need us, not just to produce food, but to insure, in the 2000 years that agriculture has been with us, or 8000 years, that we can continue to farm into the future. And this is the only way. If we are not mindful and good stewards of our water, our air, and our land, quite frankly, we just won't have it. And we will be, I guarantee you, we will be dependent on food coming from foreign countries. I am not an isolationist, I am a global partner, but I think we should be self-sufficient in our food production.
Are there any issues in funding?
For the CSP there are only certain watersheds across the country that were able to be funded. So that's the key here. Funding is lacking. We need to increase funding across the United States for farmers to enter these programs. I would say it's because we are facing such critical competing demands in California. I mentioned the water system. We're facing the worst drought in California history, at a time when our population over the last 40 years has grown by 15 million people and it's predicted in the next 15 years that we'll reach 50 million people. And at a time when we are basically disconnected from nature, from our food systems. So it's an extremely important time that we as Californians support one another in food production, in conservation, and in working with our government officials, both statewide and federal, to ensure that conservation programs like EQIP, like Conservation Security Program, continue funding during this extremely dire time.
I mean, California, as we know, is facing a $24 billion shortfall, right now. That's not looking at the next fiscal year. So it might seem odd that I'm out really staunchly advocating more conservation programs, but I think it is critical to the well-being of this industry that we used to say was the most important industry in California. And let me remind us that California is such as the fourth or fifth largest agricultural economy in the world. So it's extremely important that we maintain this vital resource not just for us as Californians but for the rest of the United States. We do provide over 50% of the produce and fresh vegetables that the rest of our citizens enjoy, and that in itself is very important.
Profile of Craig McNamara and Sierra Orchards
An organic walnut farmer, Craig McNamara has owned and operated Sierra Orchards in Winters, California for 28 years. In 1993, he began working with local schools, creating the Center for Land-Based Learning on his property. The Center engages youth in learning experiences on the land that foster respect for the critical interplay of agriculture, nature, and society.
"As a farmer I think of myself first and foremost as a conservationist and environmentalist. Protecting our nation's land, water and air resources are my most important goals. As a farmer, it is incumbent upon me to be an example for the rest of society. Therefore, it is natural that I would want to create educational and demonstration projects on our land."
Sierra Orchards
Sierra Orchards employs a number of innovative water management practices including buried drip irrigation on all new plantings, tailwater recovery ponds, and sediment trapping ponds. Cover crops both fertilize the fields as well as retain winter moisture and runoff. They have also created over two miles of hedgerows and riparian habitat on their farm. In order to stabilize the creek banks and eliminate soil erosion, they have planted over ten acres of native upland oak forest. Efforts to restore the watershed have been greatly enhanced by partnerships with willing organizations – Audubon California, local Resource Conservation Districts, the Xerces Society, and the local Stream Keeper.
"Conservation has to be a critical part of what we're doing on the farm and as citizens of California."
While the cost for these improvements exceeds tens of thousands of dollars, Sierra Orchards was able to receive matching funds through federal Farm Bill conservation programs, including the Environmental Quality Incentives Program and the Conservation Security Program. These programs defray the costs of implementing critical on- farm water conservation practices. McNamara argues that these funding programs are essential, "As a taxpayer, I think it's the best thing my taxes can go to; it's the long term conservation of our food supply."
In addition, today McNamara's Center for Land-Based Learning reaches thousands of students, teaching them about on-farm conservation practices through hands-on activities.
"One of the greatest acknowledgements that we have received...came in the form of Conservation Security Program funding. This funding partially compensated us for the voluntary conservation efforts that we had undertaken on our farm over the past 20 years."

Reverse engineering has been an industry buzzword for some time and it has come to mean several things. The traditional picture it conjures is of several engineers gathered around a physical part, taking various physical measurements in an attempt to fully understand its shape and form. Their end goal is to re-create the part through any one of several manufacturing methods, where the manufactured part is nearly identical to the original.
While that picture is not far off from the topic today, the world of reverse engineering has grown more ...

Rumors are rife that a deal has been brokered to guarantee a rosy future for Nicky Diaz, the illegal alien housekeeper who accused California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman of employing her for nine years and then refusing to "help" when confronted with her illegal status.
Diaz was fired by Whitman in June 2009, after admitting that she was an "illegal" and had lied in her job application using a forged driver license and social security card.
According to Nicky's attorney, Gloria Allred, Diaz had been unable to find work, and was depressed and desperate.
Allred stated that Diaz had asked Meg Whitman for "help" in becoming a legal citizen, however, Allred refused to answer questions as to exactly what type of "help" was legally available.
Immigration law experts have opined that a person in the same position as Diaz (who cannot claim asylum based on a threat to her life), has only one option; return to Mexico and apply for residency, a process that takes time and money, neither of which Diaz had since losing her $23/hour job as Whitman's housekeeper.
Although there is no doubt that Whitman, the billionaire former eBay CEO, could have paid Diaz, Allred made it clear that Whitman had refused to do so. Diaz, it seems, had no choice but to go public with her story, no doubt in the hope that the considerable embarrassment and disruption to Meg Whitman's campaign would be appreciated by democrats who are supporting Whitman's main rival, Jerry Brown.
Rumors now circulating indicate that a wealthy democrat fundraiser has indeed agreed to pay Nicky a lump sum of $50,000 to help with her moving costs, and employ her as a housekeeper at a luxurious Puerto Vallarta villa. The resort, known as the Mexican millionaires paradise, has become popular with wealthy Americans because it offers the privacy and luxury not easily available in the US, as well as private security to insulate residents from the Mexican drug cartels that often prey on visitors.
The kind of luxury villa that will become home to Nicky and her husband Jesus Santillan and their two children is located in one of the most exclusive parts of Puerto Vallarta and features at least:
▪ 3 bedrooms with ocean views,
▪ separate guest cottage which can be used as staff quarters,
▪ an infinity swimming pool and jacuzzi,
▪ two car garage,
▪ satellite tv, and,
▪ a security system.
It is not clear whether Diaz will continue to be paid the $23/hour she earned working for Whitman, however, as most Mexican workers with Diaz's skill set do not make $23 a week, she will be unlikely to complain of the pay or the hours, as was the case with Whitman.
At around 4,000 square feet, this type of villa is slightly larger than the 3,700 sq.ft. Whitman residence where Diaz worked, however, as owners of these villas only stay there occasionally (usually for long weekends), Diaz will have a lot of time to herself and her family to enjoy their new lifestyle.
One big difference for Diaz will be the kind of visitors she will find herself serving. Villas in this area are frequently used for highly private visits from persons such as former US President Bill Clinton and Irish music millionaire Bono of U2, as well as other important figures in the entertainment industry and financial markets.
Diaz will have to adapt to driving more expensive and luxurious cars when ferrying her new boss and his guests to and from the airport, or running errands. Her old Ford Aerostar Minivan will seem a lifetime away from the Cadillac Escalade EXT typically favored by Puerto Vallarta's elite.
Tennis pro Anna Kournikova (above) drives a Cadillac Escalade EXT, and the vehicle is a popular choice for other celebrities in the resort.
Because the otherwise fairly mundane story of one as many as 12 million illegal aliens believed to be living in the US has become a national, if not international news event, Nicky and Jesus are highly likely to become celebrities in their own right in Mexico.
This could prompt with Mexican language TV stations like Univision to offer them their own reality tv show.
Producers are probably already pitching the idea of a show based around the hardships and obstacles that Nick and Jesus will face as they adapt to their return to Mexico as heroes having scored big in the American dream that inspires so many to cross the border in search of the good life. The payoff for Nicky could be huge, allowing her to earn enough to own her own villa and leave the life of servitude forever.
Nicky and Jesus are most likely excited and optimistic regarding their new found fortune and lifestyle amongst the liberal elite who can afford a standard of living far beyond the hopes of many. There is also a deeply appreciation for the way Nicky's story moved millions of Americans to better understand the exploitation of illegal immigrants in "the land of the free."
But above all else must be the service Nicky and her attorney have done for Jerry Brown's campaign, and should Brown win the November election, Jerry is certain not to forget the help they've given his campaign, and a lavish party in Nicky's honor would be a fitting 'thank you' for her service.
News of Nicky and Jesus's new fortune is virtually guaranteed to keep the story alive in the final weeks of the election, and is therefore likely to achieve even more coverage than her first news conference. It certainly has been a week of remarkable turnarounds in fortune for Nicky, Jesus and Jerry.

Dubai Airport traffic surges again in 2005
SYDNEY (Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation) - Dubai Department of Civil Aviation reports passenger numbers at Dubai International Airport rose 13.7% year-on-year in the first half of 2005 to 11.8 million. The airport is quickly catching up to Singapore Changi, which handled 15.5 million passengers in the same period, up 7.3% year-on-year.
Dubai's rapid growth and development of infrastructure threatens to "seriously undermine" Singapore's position as a global air hub, according to Singapore's Minister for Information and Communications, Dr Balaji Sadasivan, in a speech earlier this month.
Singapore is also concerned that new large and long-range aircraft also threaten its role. For example, Qantas' RFP for a new widebody fleet of aircraft issued last week specifically calls for "hub-busting" aircraft, to help it by-pass airports such as Singapore.
Meanwhile, the Arab Air Carriers Organisation reports continuing strong demand for travel to, from and within the region. Passenger traffic is expected to reach 150 million by the end of 2005, up almost 20% year-on-year.
Insights such as these delivered daily to your inbox from the Centre's Airport Business Daily
