Clearly, a critical lack of cash is a problem for any Three Ways to Count Money ' business or social enterprise – new or established – and it can present barriers to thriving or even surviving. The three ways of looking at the finances of any enterprise are through three financial windows, the Income and The financial barriers are real – or sometimes imaginary.

'Imaginary' in the sense that people often imagine that to Each of these can be reports of past activity or projections start a new business requires immediately having all the anticipating a future situation.

In contrast, There are two kinds of costs to control. Firstly variable costs management accounts are for managers to use in real time.

Secondly controlling fixed costs (the costs you are committed Cash Flow – or lack of it – is the quickest killer so the to paying whether you're busy or not) will help avoid cash flow management of cash flow must be of most immediate problems and potential disaster during the leaner times. Low concern in day-to-day management. As long as cash flow is fixed costs also enable you to be less dependent on constantly healthy then rises or falls in profitability can be survived, high sales and so less desperate to bring in cash at any cost – though unprofitable activities will hit cash flow sooner or later. for example having to do unprofitable projects for non-target It's vital to manage the cash flow but essential also to customers – see Mando Group.

An effective to see how soon a cash crisis could occur if business hits a business person knows the profitability of each project in the temporary downturn with different fixed cost scenarios. Being enterprise, not just their combined total. able to survive the bad times sometimes amounts to having a philosophy of keeping fixed costs as low as possible. Each project or department needs to make a contribution to the overheads of the organisation as well as cover its own One of the biggest costs is staff time and so this needs to be direct costs. Or to put it another way, a proportion of core monitored to get useful management information, control costs need to be allocated to each project or department. costs and increase profitability.

Many creative and cultural enterprises focus on sales This applies whether it's a bank that needs to know how you (turnover) instead of profit. As they say, "turnover is vanity but will be able to repay the capital and interest, or a shareholder profit is sanity". Even for social enterprises where profit is not who needs to predict a return on investment from profits and the prime concern, losses can be fatal. Clearly, profit is derived dividends. A public funding agency will need to be assured of from the difference between income and expenditure so the your long-term survival so as to maintain 'public benefit' in control of costs is essential too. order to justify their investment from the public purse.

Cancer has become so prevalent these days that we all know at least one person, if not more, battling the disease. Recognizing this fact, Brooklyn Indie hip-hop label, Coalmine Records seeks to help spread awareness of the disease and raise funds to go toward the American Cancer Society's ongoing fight to find a cure.
Coalmine sought out some of the genre's best talents to record a song that emphasizes celebrating life. Backed by uplifting, piano-led production from M-Phazes, the appropriately titled "Beautiful" features verses from hip-hop heavyweight Talib Kweli, burgeoning star Big K.R.I.T., and up-and-coming rapper-singer Outasight.
Together, the MCs provide the inspirational rhymes that build into Mela Machinko's spirit-raising hook that stresses that "life is beautiful." Further driving that message home are four cancer survivors -- CeeCee, Shawn Tesser, Salman Qadar and Wilmer Wise -- who speak on the intro and outro of the track.
You can stream the track below and purchase it on iTunes or Amazon. One hundred percent of the net revenue will be donated by Coalmine Records to the American Cancer Society. Click here to learn more of the backstory regarding this campaign - thank you for your support.

Research shows future production of new lines may be done without destroying embryo
WEDNESDAY, July 9 (HealthDay News) -- Scientists say they have finally succeeded in developing human embryonic stem cells earlier in the development stage of a blastomere, or a 4-cell stage embryo, so the whole embryo is not destroyed.
The development, expected to be presented Wednesday at the European Society of Human Reproduction & Embryology annual conference in Barcelona, may make stem cell research easier to conduct by not raising as many ethical concerns, the researchers added.
"Previously, scientists have been able to derive hESC [human embryonic stem cell] lines at the 8-cell stage," Hilde Van de Velde of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Brussels, Belgium, said in a news release issued by the society, "but success rates were variable, and it was necessary to culture them by mixing with established hESC lines. We have been able to derive hESCs at an earlier stage of embryonic development, and without the need for co-culture with established hESC lines. Now we have derived a second hESC from one cell of a 4-cell stage embryo. Given the complex nature of earlier attempts, we were pleased that we could develop a technique that seemed simple and was also reproducible."
Blastomeres form in the early stages of embryonic development when important changes occur: inner cells become the fetus, and outer cells change into trophoblast, the outermost layer of the embryo that hooks into the uterus and becomes a feeding tube for the developing egg.
Working with mature eggs donated by couples undergoing in vitro fertilization, researchers split three 4-cell stage embryos into a dozen single blastomeres. They then allowed them to grow in vitro and cultured them using conventional methods for hESC derivation. From these 12, one resulted in a stable hESC line, including one that scientists determined was pluripotent, or derived fr

Reporters location:
Coastalwatch surf reporters are the saltiest locals around. Part fish, part shark, part human, they live for the waves and are usually more local than the locals. They'll be up before dawn waiting for first light to reveal the days surf conditions and can sense a change of wind from a sparrows fart. Each reporter covers a region of coastline which includes many number of surf spots and beaches. Please consider there may be possible variations between this report and your local spot due to differences in orientation to the coast and any local idiosyncrasies that may also effect the swell and weather patterns.

Metal roof surfaces at Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers, are due for a new coating job.
The Southeast Wisconsin Professional Baseball Park District has invited bids to apply high-performance coatings to 5,950 square feet of exposed metal on the underside of the stadium's unique fan-shaped, retractable roof.
The job entails cleaning and coating 5,950 square feet of exposed metal on the underside of the stadium's unique fan-shaped, retractable roof.
Bids are due May 10.
Project Details
The contractor will clean and coat galvanized metal surfaces with a two-coat moisture curing, aluminum and micaceous iron oxide system. Rust spots are to be hand or power tool cleaned to SSPC-SP 2 or 3 standards; if adhesion tests unsatisfactory, brush-off blast-cleaning of these areas will be necessary.
Ferrous metal will be solvent cleaned to SSPC-SP 1 and abrasive blast-cleaned to a commercial finish (SSPC-SP 6). A moisture curing, aluminum and micaceous iron oxide primer and moisture curing, aliphatic urethane will then be applied.
Concrete track beams will be abrasive blast-cleaned to SSPC-SP 13 and coated with a waterborne stain.
About the Stadium, Roof
The 11 year-old, $392 million ballpark seats 41,900 and is the only stadium to feature a fan-shaped convertible roof in North America, according to reports. The 12,000-ton, seven-panel roof structure can open and close in 10 minutes.
The 11 year-old, $392 million ballpark was designed by Los Angeles-based NBBJ, Arup Group, and others.
The roof was added to the design to guarantee a rain-out free Major League Baseball season for the Brewers each year and more comfortable viewing despite the frequently inclement weather in Wisconsin.
Los Angeles-based sports and entertainment firm NBBJ designed the stadium, working closely with Arup Group, and other design contributors including Eppstein Uhen Architects and HKS Inc.
The original mechanisms that move the roof were designed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America, but those have since been replaced due to failure.
Danger on the Roof
The unconventional roof design has not come without challenges, according to reports.
During construction, three workers were killed when one of the 400-ton roof panels was dropped by a crane during windy conditions. A camera crew filming the stadium construction that day captured the horrific accident and the investigation caused a year-long delay on the opening of the stadium.
Even after the accident, the structure has required expensive repairs, including the replacement of the roof's bogie system and major elements of the pivot system.

Football Pick: Michigan State Spartans vs. Illinois
- Updated: October 25, 2013
Michigan State Spartans vs. Illinois Fighting Illini College Football Preview
Date/Time: October 26, 2013 3:30 pm EST
Television: ABC/ESPN2
College Football Betting Odds from 5 Dimes
College Football Betting Favorite: Michigan State -10
Total: 49.5
The Michigan State Spartans offense had trouble getting going early in the year, but the defense has been dominating all year long. Michigan State enters this Big Ten contest with a 6-1 record overall, and they are 3-0 in the Big Ten. Illinois has already won more games than they did last year. The Fighting Illini enter this one with a 3-3 record. They are 0-2 in the Big Ten.
Game Overview:
The Michigan State Spartans have the nation's number one ranked defense. The Spartans are giving up only 227.4 yards per game this year. They have only allowed more than 17 points in a game once so far this year. Opponents are rushing for just 58.6 yards per game against this great front seven. Mark Dantonio's defenses have been elite for the last few years, but this looks like the best unit he has had. The Spartans have allowed only 20 points total in the fourth quarter of their first seven games this season.
Offensively, things have been a major struggle for Michigan State this year. It looked as if the offense had turned the corner, but last week's 294 total yards against a bad Purdue team is making everyone doubt that yet again. Connor Cook hasn't been making many mistakes at the quarterback spot, but this team is lacking play makers on the outside and they aren't getting any big pass plays. Jeremy Langford is averaging 4.6 yards per carry in the backfield, but the top teams in the Big Ten are going to load up the box against the Spartans. Michigan State is 95th in the nation in total offense.
Illinois went 2-10 last year, so their 3-3 record this season is an improvement, but the meat of the schedule is now on the way for Illinois. The Fighting Illini must face Michigan State, Penn State, Indiana, and Ohio State in their next four games. Quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase is having a much better season than he did last year. Scheelhaase is completing 66% of his passes and has 12 touchdowns and just four picks. Illinois doesn't have much of a running game, so they are very dependent on being able to throw the football. The offensive line will get a big test in this game, since the Spartans defensive front is among the best in the nation. Illinois is averaging 35.3 points per game.
The Fighting Illini defense is once again one of the worst in the Big Ten. Illinois gave up 56 points in last week's loss to Wisconsin at home. Illinois is allowing 32.3 points per game so far in 2013. How bad have things been for Illinois against the rest of the Big Ten? The Fighting Illini haven't won a conference game since October 8, 2011. At 16 straight losses, they are now at the sixth longest losing streak in Big Ten history.
Free Pick: Michigan State -10
The Spartans defense will carry them here. Michigan State's offense should be good enough against an Illinois defense that will give up yards and points to everyone. Michigan State is in a much better place than Illinois right now.

BC Mine Closure Costs and Inadequate Bonds
Posted in British Columbia, Investing & Finance, North America, Reclamation, Uncategorized, tagged bond, British Columbia, Goldcorp, mine closure on August 24, 2014 | 4 Comments »
The numbers just do not add up. As I read the many sites on the web, I learn that British Columbia has about thirty operating mines. The BC government has about $172 million in closure bonds. Say about five or six million a mine. That seems grossly inadequate to me. I have just finished estimating closure of one mine and it came to nearly $60 million. Does this mean BC should have $1.7 billion in closure bonds? Here are some observations from various websites that may help you ponder this issue. (more…)

He told us that Goldcorp annually publishes the statistics of the use of water at all its mines. Commendable. Then he told us of the First Nations prayer ceremonies at the opening and closing of water seasons at their mines. Incredible. (more…)

The 2013 Nathan Levin Lecture
The Urban Agenda and the Second Obama Administration
The Center for New York City Affairs at The New School and the Milano School for International Affairs, Management and Urban Policy present the annual Nathan Levin Lecture on Public Policy.
How do cities fit into the current debate in Washington? Are the Obama policies on education, urban development, and social welfare leveraging meaningful improvements for New York and other cities? How will the administration's policies address the social justice issues that were central to the president's reelection campaign--particularly in terms of making opportunities available to economically and socially disadvantaged Americans?
Remarks by:
Followed by a conversation with:
Moderated by:
The Nathan Levin Lecture on Public Policy was established in 1989 in honor of the late Nathan Levin, a trustee and acting president of The New School.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ichiroty This hotel is recommended. The room is calm and clean.. August 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JMW5 August 2014 Everything was excellent. Will definitely stay there again. August 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SM92 Great service and ease of location We recently returned from a stay in Paris at the Le Meridien and I highly recommend it. The night we checked in we had just had our laptop stolen at the train station from London and the manager personally came to talk to us, checked on us during the stay and as we checked out. The staff were very courteous to our children, gave them teddy bears and were highly responsive the entire time. The lobby and rooms were clean and modern. Even though the hotel isn't where all the tourist destinations are, it's a few steps away from the metro which gets you everywhere quickly. Highly recommend the hotel. August 28, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by deweesev Mixed feelings Stayed at this property from August 18th 2014 for two nights using points. We left the hotel with mixed feelings. First of all, the communication I had with the hotel prior to arrival was superb. The check in was one of the best I ever had, receiving a triple upgrade as Gold member. And had no complaints at all during my stay. Location is about a 10 minute walk to the Arc de Triomphe which is ok. We had received vouchers for free coffee in the Jazz Club, so on our final day after a perfect stay we decided to redeem our vouchers for a coffee and my girlfriend wanted tea. It was however NOT possible to get tea instead of coffee! Come on, we're talking boiled water, my girlfriend even brought here own tea leafs. It 's not that I'm too cheap to pay for my own tea, I find this however a lack of staff friendliness and we did not feel as welcomed and appreciated guest at all. Later when I complained at check out, I understood that the hotel was giving out the vouchers for free coffee to guest in order for them to rate the coffee because of a new supplier contract. Which is fine, I was ordering coffee, so why the stubbornness not to serve my girlfriend teas as I would have rated the coffee? The lady at check out started a discussion with me instead of resolved my issue. Being a loyal SPG Gold guest, I grabbed my bags and left and will not stay at this property again. Which is a shame because it started so well, but it's the small details that count... August 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by JohnKC Hotel good but for internet Hotel was very nice and staff was very friendly. Food was a little high on price. Internet was terrible. When I wa checking out I was billed at daily rate and not 3 day useage rate. Was told this happened all the time. Also login process was terrible. Frequently took several tries to get logged in. August 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by B15K wonderful hotel All was good except for their restaurant. We were misled as to the 20% off at the "Ma Chere and Tendre" for SPG members. It is not 20% off on the bill, but only food. The 2 course special is only at lunch. When we brought this to the attention of the hostess, she became quite snippy. As a Lifetime Platinum SPG member, it was disappointing August 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Petnor This hotel provides great service We only stayed the one night prior to starting a tour. Check in process was very good and, although we arrived at the hotel well before checking in time, we were immediately allocated an available room. Could not fault the overall service provided during our one day stay. August 23, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Wayne424 Service needs improvement. The porter and door staff of the hotel are not user friendly. The wait staff in the bar restaurant need to improve. The ambient temperature was too cold. On the plus side the breakfast offering was good but lacking in such things as smoked salmon and consistently good potatoes. August 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by PMI1 The Hotel has Excellent Service The hotel provided excellent service from guides, tickets to attractions and transport, all with attention to my specific interests. August 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JB16 Our stay Excellent hotel. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, Jazz Club was closed for August, so we missed that feature. Otherwise, this hotel was in great location and close to all transportation. August 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by skayg Great Location and Comfortable Bed The room was clean and very comfortable and the check-in staff was very friendly. The hotel was located near the metro and rail. The Air France Bus travels directly from CDG to the Hotel with no stops. August 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Michelle2235 Good hotel The staff at this hotel was extremely helpful and friendly! August 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by SPG1 Very convenient location The hotel is a walkable distance from most Paris attractions. The platinum breakfast buffet was excellent and all staff made sure that our stay was top-rate. August 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by EKA1 Great value with ease of exploration great value with a wonderful location to hop on the Metro to all the historical parts of Paris, clean hotel, easy and refreshing. August 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by SCarter Paris 2014 - La Meridien Excellent hotel in great location! They had tons of gluten free options for the breakfast. The staff was very attentitive to my allergy for celiac and we very much enjoyed our stay!! Recommend to anyone staying in Paris! August 12, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Notafan1972 Unbelievably bad experience Was promised a room change at check in, but on the day of the supposedroom change, went to the front desk in the morning to confirm that a change will be made and was told yes. Went back at 3:30 pm and the front desk manager came out and said "paid guest wanted to extend his stay, room is no longer available". I had already packed my luggage and asked him to find a solution. His answer was "what do you expect me to do?". Never experienced such an offensive treatment before. I would be disappointed if the room was not changed but I was offended that a committment was not kept and I was told late in the day. Bedsheet - even when asked for a change of bedsheet, it was not done. When I approached the housekeeper just as she happened to leave when I went back to the room, she offered to change the bedsheet at once. Unbelievable. August 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Alireza70 good hotel WE are happy with are sol-action August 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by DJ14 Good place for a stay in Paris not only for business travellers Nearly perfect place for a trip to Paris. Just: Service in executive rooms can be improved. Breakfast offers are too unflexible and too expensive. I would come back and recommend the hotel to my friends and business partners. Personal very friendly!! August 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by TheLadyG Hotel Features Location, location, location when traveling. . August 10, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by happytraveler11 stay somewhere better This hotel is far from everything. You will need to take the subway everywhere. There is nothing around the hotel, and the hotel has no little store for little items you might forget. Dont go to Spice Market around the corner, as they make up the prices and charge you whatever they want. I had the do not disturb on my door, and never touched the mini bar, but they came in two times, without my permission. Also the maid walked in when I hadn't checked out and didn't even knock. The men in the morning are great Concierges!!!! August 7, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Frequenttraveller111 Great location... Hotel is really well located, but disappointing in other ways.. Needs to be updated or downgraded. Unfair to call it 4 star. August 5, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by DG298 Hotel has great location - but services need improvement 1. Room was pretty small - We did mention to the reception- and given that we should have had an upgrade 2. The concierge is definitely bottom quartile. We booked the tickets to Moulin Rouge through the concierge. I had asked for Thursday evening show - we discussed, we aligned. First I noticed that the booking price was higher than Moulin Rouge itself was selling. Then they booked it for Saturday evening. I asked them to fix it. First response was that 'We did what you told us to do- I must have booked Saturday because you must have said saturday" They did, but at a higher price - which is not understandable. I mentioned that X euros does not matter, but i tried to show them the price on Moulin website/other third party etc.. and our price to make them understand that something is wrong and that the bigger problem is breach of trust - they were not ready to accept - and were saying" i can not do anything, i don't know, i should not be like this ... etc "- very disappointing 3. the concierge estimates of cab rates was way off - e.g. cab from Moulin Rouge back to hotel at 2 am - Concierge told us 30 euros- assuming it to be accurate i agreed to 20 euros with a cab - the metered fare was only 10 euros.. same thing happened to paris gu nord and other places - again this leads to doubts as to the ability and effectiveness of the concierge who I am relying on for information for decision making - and they are giving, unapologetically,inaccurate information 4. The breakfast buffet is great in variety and service, but quality of food could be improved August 5, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Alex83 Hotel needs renovation Stayed for 5 nights at end of July. Tired hotel in need of an upgrade. Rooms with 80s- looking furniture, horrible carpets. Didn't like our room, staff moved us to a better, bigger room next day. A/C wasn't working that well, staff sent a repairman who tried fixing it & worked OK but broke down again the last day! The positive thing about the hotel is the great staff. Excellent response & they tried their best to please us. Great Concierge service. Metro station 2 minutes away. Major renovation needed. Also the pillows were horrible, worst we've ever slept on! August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Aussies Aussies A very positive experience. The staff were so professional and friendly making our stay a most pleasurable one. August 4, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by SF2014 Busy and little attention to detail Factory mentality and caters to the tourist industry. As a business professional, it struggles to meet my needs: ability to check in before 3pm after an over-seas flight, coffee and light snacks (rather than an entire buffet) in the lobby in the morning, reliable WiFi in the room. The location and gym are excellent. August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by IvanBribir Good location, nice service Location: Walking distance to Arc de Triomphe and Champs-Élysées Avenue. On the M1 and RER D station (direct connections for Louvre and Eiffel Tower in just few minutes), buses for CDG Airport and Buvois airport just across the street. Service: Excellent - the staff is extremely kind. I would like especially point to a young receptionist at checkout (I think the name was Lheena). Her smile and kindness made my day. SPG recognition: On very high level (upgrade and 4PM check out without a problem). Points (Green choice included) where on my account the day after checkout. WIFI: 29 EUR for three days, but if you are gold SPG member you can take free WIFI for welcome gift. There is some free Wi-Fi in the lobby and on my floor there were two computers you can use free of charge. Breakfast: Average, you will not be hungry, but comparing to other Le Meridiens I was in, I expected much more, especially regarding the presentation of the food. Also, for 29 eur very poor selection of cheeses and cold cuts. In not so good hotels in France, I had a much better option. The hotel really needs to work on breakfast and make it more enjoyable, although because of the size and number of guests it would be pretty hard. Restaurant: Pretty good steakhouse. You can use 20% discount if you are SPG member in that way you can have nice three course dinner with glass of wine for about 50 euro pro person. Cleanliness and overall look: The lobby is magnificent. I was on the 7th floor which needs some refurbishments, but generally OK. The whole hotel, especially the room is extremely clean. Room and bed quality: I was in executive room - very comfortable bed, TV with HDMI connection, safe deposit, refrigerator for minibar has some free place for your staff, big and qaulity shower, nice prodcuts for body care, ice machine and microwave on the floor. Good to know: You got one free coupon for coffee in the hotels 'bar and free entrance to Palace Tokyo, there is shopping mall just across the street under the Congress palace with very nice food store, the hotel provides baggage storage and there is also one souvenir shop in the lobby. August 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by BFoo Nice Room and Good Location I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights.I got a nice executive Suite during my stay.The room was really big and spacious enough .The front desk also very helpful while I was checking in.Only the room designed was a bit out-dated and also the furniture a bit old.Overall still a good and nice hotel to stay no matter for leisure or business. The Metro station just 2 minutes walk away.Highly recommend for this hotel . August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by altahnoon Excellient hotel overall real nice hotel and near for every think August 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by alask01 Recent Stay Loved the outside garden, could not believe we were the only ones who used it. Quiet and relaxing and lovely. Wished it was opened later in the evening to enjoy a relaxing glass of wine and earlier in the morning for coffee. July 30, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Angela96 A bit disappointing Love the Le Meridien hotels, but room was small and had a separate loo, which was like being in an airplane! Staff were lovely but food was mediocre and expensive, but this is Paris. Being an SPG member it is nice to get perks and 20% off the restaurant is a nice treat, albeit that I had to ask for it when we checked out. I thought this might apply to a better room/view but we had a view of the bins (Room 1137). Hotel is in a good location and all of the above wouldn't stop me visiting again. July 29, 2014

The Los Angeles Lakers have hired Kurt Rambis and Johnny Davis as assistant coaches, GM Mitch Kupchak announced on Monday. The pair will join Lakers assistant coach Dan D'Antoni, who returns from last season, as well as Mark Madsen and Larry Lewis, who were hired earlier as player development coaches. "Kurt and Johnny bring many years of NBA experience both as coaches and as former players to this team," said Lakers head coach Mike D'Antoni. "Kurt is a great basketball mind, extremely good at working with big men and his experience as a head coach in this league is going to prove very helpful to our staff. Johnny is a two-time NBA head coach with years of experience playing as well as coaching in this league. The vast array of NBA knowledge he brings to the table will be invaluable to us." Rambis previously served three stints with the Lakers as an assistant coach, first from 1994-1999, before taking over as head coach 13 games into the 1998-99 season. He tied a then-NBA record w...

Hong Kong's law is clear when it comes to disabled people - they must be treated the same as those without disabilities. Some housing estates are abiding by this rule by installing synthesised speech assistance for blind residents to make it easier for them to use the lifts.
Unfortunately, this system has been disconnected after only a few weeks at one block of an estate in Ho Man Tin following complaints from other residents about the noise made by the equipment. This is an insensitive move that may well be in breach of laws designed to protect disabled people from discrimination.
To residents annoyed by what they determined was excessive noise, the decision was a sensible return to normalcy. Others may consider the issue minor, taking into account that the Housing Department is taking steps to make the equipment less disruptive. But for the visually impaired, the incident illustrates the disregard they are sometimes subjected to in going about their lives despite the safeguards put in place to protect their rights.
The Disability Discrimination Ordinance is clear on the matter: disabled people must not be subjected to discrimination, harassment or vilification when it comes to access to public buildings, goods, services and facilities, education, employment and recreation. New technology means the disabled do not have to be as limited in their movements and opportunities as they may once have been. Disabled people should not have to feel they are being treated as unequal. Some of the blind residents at Oi Man Estate are taking the lift matter to the Equal Opportunities Commission. Their eight-year campaign for installation of the speech system came to fruition in October, finally allowing them to leave their building and get home with the same confidence as other residents. Now, they find it has been disconnected without warning.
The rights in question are shared by all people in Hong Kong: the ability to enjoy life to its fullest within the bounds of the law. Providing a means to independently get to the floor on which a flat or office is located is part of that obligation.
Doing this at Oi Man Estate has been shown to be possible, but it cannot be to the disadvantage of other tenants. A way has to be quickly found to put in place a less audibly intrusive system in the lifts there. Technology means that doing so should not be difficult. Public transport is rapidly adapting to such requirements and many office buildings have complied. Government offices provide facilities and services for the disabled and there is no reason why this should not also apply to public housing.
Hong Kong is not an easy place for disabled people to get around in. Steps are, however, gradually being taken in a bid to improve the situation. Every effort should be made by the government to ensure the rights of disabled people are respected.
