Sundance 2010: 'Company Men' stars Ben Affleck, Tommy Lee Jones get personal about job economy
Ben Affleck, Chris Cooper and Tommy Lee Jones star in "The Company Men," centering on three characters who gave years of their working lives to the same corporation, who deal with their layoffs in very different ways.
Affleck's Bobby Walker has two young-ish kids and stable, sympathetic wife Maggie (Rosemarie DeWitt), who expreience each subsequent financial blow as his months of unemployment roar on. He goes from the $160,000-a-year job to selling the Porsche, the house, moving in with his folks and working for his blue-collar, construction worker brother-in-law (Kevin Costner).
While Jones' Gene McClary's stock options benefit to the Nth degree by the very downsizing he experiences, his honed materialism can't seem rival the emotional and personal blow he's been dealt. Same could be said of aging Phil Woodward (Chris Cooper), except he doesn't have the cushy finances to fall on, to soften the blow, and depression takes over.
It's an examination on the American Dream, how the buying of things and the perceived security of money and years at a job overshadow more important priorities -- family, self-esteem, quality of life.
Director John Wells shines a light on "how little time that men spend with their families when they're so engrossed in their work," Cooper says during interviews at Sundance Saturday. "My dad certainly did that. He had a beautiful wonderful wife... and we'd be lucky if he got home by eight. But in some respects, American men have this storong idea of acquisition of things and it's real important to them. I don't get it."
It's from personal experiences like these that the actors in "The Company Men" cull from, the feelings of despair and loss, and in the struggle to score a job even when there's none to be had or 50 other candidates are up for the same one.
"I feel like that's part of the gig, as an actor, you define yourself by the opportunities you get. I know actors that are out of work for years at a time. If they thought their work was equal to their resume, they would probably huck themselves off the top of the building," DeWitt tells HitFix.." Someone said to me very early on in my career, when you go in the [audition] room, you should pretend you have a little oozy in your bag. Your oozy can be like 'my grandmother thinks I'm really awesome' or 'I did a nice thing for my neighbor.' Everybody needs that little stockpile of stuff that's really important."
"Actors are really unusual. You never have that stability that those other jobs have promised people. Your next job could be your last. Who knows if you get that next audition. So it's also why actors get moved by other actors' big comebacks," Affleck says. The 37-year-old actor internalized his movie role by "doing the homework" -- doing internet research, talking to corporate workers still employed, those that were laid-off, constructing a biography based on a guy he went to school with whose career arc resembled Bobby Walker's.
"I like to have a script as early as I can. I make no bones about it, I'm so insecure as an actor anyway, I spend every night studying it, working on it, thinking about it, be prepared for what I think John might want," Cooper says. "There's enough life experience that I can bring to a character like this, I can't see how we can't all relate to it in some way... I still live in the split-level ranch that I bought in 1994, and I had no business buying it. But I still live there, and I'm still trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. [My wife] and I make a point of realy living below the radar of this whole Hollywood nonsense."
How did Jones prepare? "Just look at the world around you. I read the Wall Street journal and New York Times every day. That's all I did," he says. "No personal stories... Most of my family are secure. Most of us are not gonna notice something like a recession."
Affleck and DeWitt brought the conversation back to the economy, and how actors' unstable work in a way reflects on the farce that is now job security.
"The promise we're told is go for the stable job that gives you the 401k and the benefits -- don't go be a creative person that doesn't promise any pension. That's the exchange, that was the expectation," DeWitt says. But in this uncertain world in the American job force, "A lot of corporate America didn't sign up for this."
"They would be sculptors if they'd known," Affleck adds. "They would have a drink and painted during lunch instead."

The first round of the 2011 MLB Amateur Draft is officially in the books, and in its wake comes the range of emotions fans always feel after watching their teams plan for the future. Did your club get value? Did it reach? Whom did it pass on that may one day make the brain trust regret the move?
As always there were surprises and disappointments, winners and losers. This was a deep and talented draft class with valuable players at a variety of positions, and while you might think that that would make the draft process easier for MLB franchises, it appeared that more than a few times, the opposite was true.
Perhaps teams were overwhelmed by the choices or simply letting finances dictate their decisions. But there were some questionable moves made on Day 1. At the same time, some clubs swooped in to get stunning value late.
Here then are my Top Six surprises from Round 1.

The latest edition of the Financial Inclusion 2020 News Feed, our weekly online magazine sharing the big news in banking the unbanked, is now available. Among the stories in this week's edition are: the United Nations (U.N.) General Assembly held a side event last week on youth financial inclusion; the Microfinance Gateway spotlighted resilience, for both households and financial institutions, in the realm of financial inclusion; and the Global Banking Alliance for Women (GBA), in collaboration with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and Data2XCARE, released a report on the value of data to women's financial inclusion. Here are a few more details:
- The U.N. General Assembly side event focused on the importance of financial inclusion for youth, including youth entrepreneurs, and it was asserted that the energy and dynamism of young people will be integral in achieving the newly adopted 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Fifty-four percent of youth between 15-24 don't have a bank account.
- Resilience, or the ability to anticipate, adapt to, and/or recover from adverse situations, is a key lens for considering financial inclusion. Microfinance Gateway's spotlight shares industry work on resilience from Freedom from Hunger, ILO, IMF, Making Finance Work for Africa, Microinsurance Network, and MicroSave.
- GBA, IDB, and Data2XCARE's new report, based on interviews with over 50 financial inclusion stakeholders, makes the case for sex-disaggregated data – how this data could inform better policies and private sector action – and discusses the challenges to its collection and use.
For more information on these and other stories, read the latest issue of the FI2020 News Feed here, and make sure to subscribe to the weekly online magazine by entering your email address in the right-hand menu so you can be notified when the latest issue comes out.

Many enterprises operating in the informal economy provide low-quality working conditions for their employees. Workers might be exposed to difficult or dangerous environments, and the formalities of labor law are missing. A new project from the International Labour Organization's Social Finance Program and the University of Mannheim in Germany tested the hypothesis that microfinance institutions, given their unique and expansive connections to the informal economy, can successfully apply interventions aimed at improving their clients' working conditions. The project spanned 2008 to 2012 and included collaborations with 16 microfinance institutions. The project results are shared in the recently released report, "Microfinance for Decent Work – Enhancing the Impact of Microfinance." It suggests that microfinance institutions indeed have the potential to leverage their positioning and resources to improve their clients' business environments.
The project was carried out in four steps. First, the participating MFIs conducted an internal diagnostic to identify the most pressing work-related challenges faced by their clients. Across the breadth of identified challenges, the issues that the MFIs chose to address were reducing child labor, promoting business formalization, enhancing business performance, and reducing vulnerability, particularly in regards to risk management and over-indebtedness. Each MFI created its own intervention with its unique institutional context in mind. These innovations included launching new financial services, introducing non-financial services, offering packages of financial and non-financial services, and restructuring institutional operations. The innovations were piloted with client impact tracked to enable before and after comparisons in control and treatment groups.
> Posted by Elisabeth Rhyne, Managing Director, CFI
The following post was originally published on USAID's microlinks.
Elisabeth Rhyne joined USAID shortly after the seminal PISCES (Program of Investment in the Small Capital Enterprise Sector) studies were completed in the 1980s. From 1994 to 1998, she was the Director of USAID's Office of Microenterprise Development, where she developed and led USAID's Microenterprise Initiative.
The breakthrough innovations that sparked the birth of microenterprise credit in Latin America occurred in the early 1980s, and USAID was very much the driving force. Through PISCES, the Program for Investment in the Small Capital Enterprise Sector, operational from 1979 to 1985, USAID and its partner organizations began to discover the principles of success for lending to the poor, opening the way for the microfinance industry.
To understand the origins of this microfinance strategy, it helps to visualize PISCES at a time when three streams of thought came together. First was the "Spring Review" on directed agricultural credit carried out by the rural finance gurus of Ohio State University, Dale Adams and Claudio Gonzalez Vega, with J.D. von Pischke of the World Bank. Their work revealed the waste and dysfunction of subsidized agricultural credit doled out by bankrupt government credit banks. These banks were swallowing hundreds of millions of development dollars annually. The Ohio State team's manifesto was that financial institutions must make credit decisions based on risk assessments, not politics, and charge interest rates that would allow operations to be sustainable. That review launched a gradual shift by USAID, the World Bank, and other aid agencies away from public development banks. But, if public development banks were sidelined, who would serve the poor?
At the same time research mainly by the International Labor Organization (ILO) revealed the importance of the "informal sector," small-scale businesses operated by low-income households. These were especially important in urban areas as a source of livelihood for a vast portion, and sometimes even the majority, of the poor in developing countries. (Why this was a revelation was a mystery to me – one has only to stroll through the poor areas of a developing country to see the scale of the informal sector.) The ILO's work excited the interest of USAID's Office of Urban Development. Michael Farbman and his colleagues there wanted to figure out how development organizations could assist the proprietors of small and microenterprises to improve their businesses and work their way out of poverty.

Thank you, MontpelierOctober 31,2013
Thank you, Montpelier
Kingsbury Companies LLC would like to offer our sincere thanks to all of the city of Montpelier, staff, merchants and citizens, for your patience and assistance over the last several months while we worked on the installation of the new district heat system. The district heat project consists of a very complex piping system that can require as many as 21 quality assurance steps per joint. Combine the complicated installation with all of the unknowns under the streets of a centuries-old town, and delays and disruptions are inevitable. During much of the project, we had three pipe crews within two city blocks, and are acutely aware of the disturbances this has caused. We appreciate how flexible and gracious everyone has been in adjusting their normal patterns to accommodate our construction.
We would specifically like to thank businesses like La Brioche, Manghis Bread and Capitol Plaza for not only putting up with us, but offering coffee and treats to our team in the early morning hours. Thanks also to the many citizens who cheered us on and handed out cookies as we worked, and to those that offered constructive criticisms to help us improve. We wish you all generations of beneficial use of the new system, and applaud your bold steps toward energy independence. Thank you for your patience and hospitality during this very challenging project.

2002 Dodge Stratus Sedan SE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
I bought this car used with 150,000 8 weeks ago. A week after I bought it, the check oil light came on. I took it to the shop and the oil pan was stripped and the transmission was leaking. The warranty covered a rebuilt transmission and new oil pan. The dealership had it for 3 weeks to do the repairs. Now 2 weeks after I get it back, the heat in the car goes out and it is only blowing cold air. I take it back to the dealership and they tell me it will take them a week to run diagnostics on it. I bought this car 8 weeks ago and have nothing but repairs. DO NOT buy this car!!!
I bought the car from a friend 4 years ago back in 2006. So far no major problems. Everything works, no paint problems. Small coolant leak noticed a few weeks ago. I drive the car a lot. The gas mileage is great and the drive is pretty smooth too. My only complaint is the plain interior. Changed the rear rotors once. That's the only major work we had to do. Overall, it's a good car to have.
Sound system is good. Overall a good car.
Just the plain interior.
After 100,000 miles this car is running strong and has never needed more than the usual upkeep [oil, brakes, tires, etc]. Car is noisier than original condition but is to be expected after 100k. Car has never overheated. Air conditioner, heater, electronics, power, control - everything is working in great condition. I have to say for the value, this car is well worth it.
Interior design. Ease of reaching controls [no sloping front console like found on many Asian sedans]. The fold down rear seats [40/60 split] is a great feature.
I purchased 2002 stratus with only 86k back in 2007 great car wood grain inside keyless entry, didn't have it for a year they car broke down needed head cover gasket, timing belt, water pump, oil pan needed be replaced, took it to the dealership paid almost 2g's to repair didn't have anymore issues. check engine light has been on past two year keep saying gas cap replaced it 3times never went off, come to find out it was the emissions hoses. I was few month paying it off, but to much was going on with it I traded it in for a 2007 chrysler sebring needed a upgrade! but i got my fun out of that stratus its a good car just dont dog it out!!
wood grain, keyless entry, body style, speed.
need more storage space in the car, cup holders are on the floor! better gas milage not alot to fill it up, but keeping it above half ridiculous!
Gas, tires, oil, brakes and 1 tie rod end. Not sure I even needed the tie rod. My only expenses after 7 years and 103,000 miles.

I used to live over in Largo and we would take the kids over to ride these wonderful Mini Trains at Largo Central Park the first weekend of the month! I found these photos in our 2003 Scrapbook (Annabelle was 4, Kevin was 18 months old and I was pregnant with our 3rd child so my Mom is riding with the kids)…isn't it fun to look into someone else's life?! It is basically a large train set that you can actually RIDE! It has over one mile of track, which travels through a tunnel and all around the park. Great Fun!
It is worth the drive to go! This Saturday (Dec. 1) and Sunday (Dec. 2), from 10 am – 4pm, everyone can ride the mini train for free (which is the normal price). Children must be at least one year of age to ride. All passengers must wear shoes while riding the train or in the train station/boarding area.
The event regularly takes place on the first full weekend of each month. The rides are free, but they do accept donations to keep the program operating.
Largo Central Park is located at 101 Central Park Drive in Largo, FL. Go HERE for more details!
I have also always wanted to take the kids on the Polar Express Train for a Christmas fun excursion (I always miss the ordering deadline…and yes, unfortunately, this year it is already sold out as well), but there might still be seats available where YOU live! (their is a murder mystery dinner train available in FL if you are interested go HERE)
There are official Polar Express Trains in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington (state), West Virginia, Wisconsin and Canada.
Maybe you are traveling this winter? This would definitely be something super fun and memorable to do while visiting!
~Dust off your Train Whistle! Hoot Hoot!

Frances Bean's Inheritance
Why rage against an ill wind? I realize that complaining incessantly about the ongoing plundering of rock, classic and otherwise, by Madison Avenue ain't gonna make it stop but is there no one who can resist the allure of cash?
The latest person to hate, actually she kind of invented the category, is the ex-Mrs Cobain, who sold "Breed" to some fucking video game maker so they could whore it out for some damned, frenetic TV ad. And this from a woman who's until now been rightfully prickly when it comes to licensing Nirvana's music for anything from film soundtracks to new Nirvana records and who periodically makes noise about the importance of having integrity. You know that she's probably in negotiations right now for the boatload of cash—We're talking like an ARKFULLshe'll reap when she finally licenses, "Smell like Teen Spirit" to Chrysler or some other clueless corporate giant in search of a younger demographic.

This trip report concerns a flight that my partner and I took when we were on holiday in Mexico recently.
One of the tours on offer was to the Mayan remains at Chichen Itza either by bus(4 hours) or plane(45 mins). We went for the flight option as it meant a more relaxed day and more time at the beach when we got back
Aircraft : Cessna Caravan 208B
Reg : XA-UBL
Flight time : 40 mins
We were bussed in from our various hotels to Playa Del Carmen airport which is just on the outskirts of the town and is quite literally just off the main road.
Got out of the coach and walked onto the airstrip and onto the plane. There were 12 of us and the plane was configured in a 1-2 layout with 4 rows of seats.
There was quite a large area behind the seats for baggage etc and a big cooler of bottled water which came in very handy later on. Air con was delivered to each and every seat which was great.
We all got on and the plane taxied out to one end of the runway before spinning round and heading down towards the other end at great speed.
Take-off was around half-way down the runway and we went out over part of the town and then over the sea before heading back inland for Chichen Itza.
The weather was great and visibility was excellent
Our flight path was mostly over uninhabited jungle areas, but still interesting nevertheless. Very smooth as well for most of the time.
The plane was so small you could actually see the pilots instruments and make out some of what they were doing which was good - bit of a change from the norm.
As we neared Chichen Itza, the pilots flew over the site and gave us some great aerial views. The flight started to get a bit choppy at this point and I don't mind saying that I was glad we'd be landing soon.
Not long after, we were landing at Chichen Itza International Airport and I have to say it was the most deserted international airport I've ever been in!!!
Nice just walking through security with no-one there for a change.
All in all a great day - certainly much better than sitting in a hot bus for 7 or 8 hours and we got some nice views of Chichen Itza that you don't normally see.
Smallest plane I've ever flown in, but even when it got choppy it was still enjoyable. I'd highly recommend it.

No, the UN has not given glyphosate a 'clean bill of health'
Georgina Downs
17th May 2016News headlines today suggest that a UN report on glyphosate residues has given the controversial herbicide a clean bill of health, writes Georgina Downs. But that's seriously misleading: the panel concludes that exposure to the chemical in food is unlikely to cause cancer. But that does not apply to those exposed to it occupationally or who live near sprayed fields. more...
Snares - a barbaric relic whose time is up
Bill Oddie OBE
10th May 2016Snares are one of humankind's earliest inventions, writes Bill Oddie, once essential to our survival as hunters. But their modern use by gamekeepers seeking to protect game birds on shooting estates from predators is a cruel and barbaric practice, with most of the victims non-target species like hares, badgers and deer. more...
Fair game? Hunting lobby's attacks on the RSPCA are proof of its effectiveness
Lesley Docksey
3rd May 2016Lacking an official body to investigate and prosecute illegal cruelty to wildlife a unique charity, the RSPCA, took on that role almost 200 years ago, writes Lesley Docksey. But now it has ruffled high-ranking feathers by pursuing cases of illegal fox-hunting, and has been forced to leave prosecutions of such cases to the Crown Prosecution Service. But will the CPS do its job? more...
Dodgy data, bad science, rotten politics: why the badger cull is wrong and stupid
Tom Langton
28th April 2016If we are ever to bring bovine TB under control in Britain's cattle herd, we must begin with the main disease reservoir, writes Tom Langton: the cattle themselves. The insistence on culling badgers has little to do with disease control, and everything to do with the short term economics of the beef and dairy industries, unwilling to sacrifice an iota of production in the interests of a real solution. more...
Industry fingerprints all over Reuters' attack on IARC over glyphosate and cancer
Claire Robinson / GMWatch
21st April 2016The Reuters news organisation has just sullied its reputation with a disgraceful attack on the WHO's specialist body on cancer, the IARC, writes Claire Robinson. Resorting to smear, innuendo and anonymous critics, it relies heavily on discredited industry sources including tobacco defenders in its attempt to undermine IARC's view that glyphosate probably causes cancer. more...
India's 'shoot on sight' conservation terrorises indigenous communities
Lewis Evans
20th April 2016The endangered Bengal Tiger and One-horned Rhino desperately need protection, writes Lewis Evans. But in India's Kaziranga National Park, 'fortress conservation' includes a brutal 'shoot on sight' policy that is terrorising local communities, many of them tribal. Indigenous peoples are the natural allies of conservation and need to be engaged in constructive solutions - not shot! more...
Scotland's secret cat slaughter revealed in FOI documents
Oliver Tickell
12th April 2016Documents released to Wildcat Haven reveal the secret plans of the Scottish Wildcat Action Plan - funded by taxpayers and the National Lottery - to kill trapped feral cats by shooting them in the head with shotguns. Public documents mention only neutering, successfully carried out by Wildcat Haven to protect pure wildcat populations. more...
Thought for Earth Day: whether it's badgers or Trident missiles, shooting solves nothing
Linda Pentz Gunter
20th April 2016Why do we humans resort to shooting, whenever a challenging problem confronts us? Whether it's culling badgers to protect hedgehogs, or renewing the Trident missile threat with expensive upgrades, our species seems determined to upset the balance of nature and harmony on Earth by shooting first - and never asking the questions at all. more...
Amazon Indians at risk in mercury poisoning crisis
Sarina Kidd / Survival International
5th April 2016Illegal gold mining in the Amazon has a devastating effect on indigenous peoples, writes Sarina Kidd. First the miners bring disease, deforestation and even murder. Then long after they have gone, communities are left to suffer deadly mercury poisoning. Now the UN has been called on to intervene. more...
Buffalo slaughter in Yellowstone and the death of a spirit animal
Louise Willcox
5th April 2016North American buffalo are officially 'vulnerable to global extinction', writes Louise Willcox, yet the US National Parks Service and Montana are intent on their wholesale slaughter. In place of a complete ecosystem with wild-roaming buffalo and grizzly bears, wildlife managers are systematically favoring the over-abundant elk that drive the politically powerful hunting industry. more...
Marshall Islands accuses nuclear bomb nations at International Court of Justice
Jen Maman & Rick Wayman
29th March 2016The tiny Pacific state of the Marshall Islands has given oral evidence to the International Court of Justice against all nuclear armed states for failing to pursue disarmament. The UK, India and Pakistan were present to deny the charges, but the US, Russia, France, China, Israel and North Korea have denied the ICJ's compulsory jurisdiction. more...
Africa's lions and pastoralists share the benefits of community ecotourism
Grant Hopcraft & Sara Blackburn
5th April 2016The conflict between lions and Africa's cattle herders goes back centuries, write Grant Hopcraft and Sara Blackburn - and lions have been the big losers in recent years. But where local people benefit from ecotourism, that ancient enmity can quickly be set aside. 'Community conservancies' around formal protected areas are helping both lions and indigenous communities to survive and thrive. more...

Taiji dolphin drive hunt is over - but the cetacean slaughter continues
Ric O'Barry / Dolphin Project
6th April 2016The dolphin drive hunts in Taiji, Japan have officially ended for the season, writes Ric O'Barry, however the offshore pilot whale hunt continues until the end of May. After a particularly brutal year, which culminated in my arrest and deportation from Japan, we at Dolphin Project will continue our crucial work to end the annual barbarity of cetacean killings and captures. more...
Global emissions stand still as temperatures soar
Alex Kirby
18th March 2016For the second year running CO2 emissions flatlined even as the global economy was growing at around 3%, writes Alex Kirby. But sharply rising temperatures show the need for further massive renewable energy deployment to actually bring emissions down. more...
Lies in conservation: the truth about big-game hunting and African nature reserves
Navaya ole Ndaskoi
14th March 2016Media furore over the shooting down of a helicopter in Tanzania masks a bigger picture of commercial hunting and evictions of indigenous tribes in the name of wildlife, writes Navaya ole Ndaskoi. It's time to rethink 'white saviour' mythology and develop new models of conservation that respect and engage with African communities, recognise their achievements, and inspire a new generation of conservation heroes. more...
WHO / IARC: glyphosate itself is the cancer and genotoxicity problem
11th March 2016With industry spinning that glyphosate is harmful to health, if at all, only with co-formulants like tallowamine, the World Health Organisation's cancer agency IARC has just released a Q&A document (below) stating that 'pure' glyphosate poses similar cancer and genotoxicity risks as its formulations. Banning particular co-formulants, as proposed by some EU countries, does not solve the problem. more...
EU postpones glyphosate decision: a good day for public health!
Aisha Dodwell
8th March 2016It has been an epic battle, writes Aisha Dodwell. Monsanto and other corporations are desperate to get the world's number one herbicide, glyphosate, relicenced in the EU. But their network of power has been challenged by doctors, scientists and a global movement of people. With today's postponement of the EU's decision, we have just scored a major victory. more...
Shoot first, ask no questions later: more badger culling, less science
Lesley Docksey
23rd February 2016With 29 applications for new badger culls, writes Lesley Docksey, the government still has no idea how many badgers there are in the cull areas, or how many of them have TB. Nor does it want to find out. The badger culling project is getting less scientific by the day - or should that be by the square kilometre? more...
Timber! Poland's bid to increase logging 8-fold in primeval Bialowieza Forest
Zachary Davies Boren / Greenpeace Energydesk
18th February 2016Poland's environment ministry has a plan for a huge increase in logging in Europe's last great primeval forest, writes Zachary Davies Boren. Officials claim it's to control bark beetles. But ecologists say the insects are regulated naturally within the forest ecosystem, while logging threatens huge damage to irreplaceable biodiversity. more...
National Park service finally stands up for Grizzlies - and for people!
Louisa Willcox
9th February 2016As the movement to 'delist' Grizzly bears from protection under the Endangered Species Act gathers pace in US states and the Fish & Wildlife Service, two National Park superintendents have spoken out for the bears', writes Louisa Willcox. The hunters and the FWS may be furious, but the change of approach enjoys strong support from a public who have come to love their local bears. more...
Glyphosate 'the most heavily used weedkiller in history'
Vanessa Amaral-Rogers
3rd February 2016The global use of glyphosate has rocketed over the last decade thanks to the introduction of 'Roundup ready' GM crops, writes Vanessa Amaral-Rogers. But since IARC classified the chemical a 'probable carcinogen', and with the spread of resistant superweeds, the tide may finally be turning. more...
Hunting in the Amazon threatens rainforest carbon
The Ecologist
27th January 2016The over-hunting of wildlife in the Amazon has an unexpected knock-on effect: the reduced seed dispersal reduces the forest's capacity to store carbon in its biomass, increasing emissions from apparently 'intact' rainforest areas. more...
Climate Justice activists to EPA: make Clean Power Plan work for fossil fuel afflicted communities!
Kate Aronoff / Waging NonViolence
24th January 2015While the fossil fuel industry and Republican states and senators step up legal and political challenges to Obama's Clean Power Plan, protests have also been flooding in to the EPA's ten regional offices from climate activists - demanding that it cut out dirty biofuels and 'carbon trading' loopholes, and protect vulnerable communities from fossil fuel pollution. more...
Cameron's 'sink estate' strategy - social cleansing by another name?
Loretta Lees
24th January 2016Demolishing 'sink' council estates is no way to solve social problems, writes Loretta Lees. All it does is force low income communities out of affordable housing, and open valuable urban sites up for profitable redevelopment. But then, maybe that's the point? more...
Oceans running out of fish as undeclared catches add a third to official figures
Christopher Pala
19th January 2016The global catch of fish and seafood is falling at three times the rate reported by the United Nations and urgently needs to be slowed to avoid a crash, reports Christopher Pala. The finding comes in a new study for Nature which quantifies the huge illegal industrial fish pillaging taking place around the world, together with artisanal catches, which in 2010 added over 50% to UN estimates. more...

San Felipe Shopping
Finca Santa Felipe: Coffee & Sun Dried Bannanas
The shop is in fact the Finca Santa Elena it self - I am not sure how best to decribe the facility. It is a family home and a working coffee finca.
What to buy: There are two products that i can recommend from Finca Santa Elena.
The first is the 100% Arabica coffee which is grown on the finca. We bought it ground and in a cloth bag of traditional weave design.
The second is a new product which Mark was keen to develop and certainly he did the strong sales pitch to our group - sun dried bannanas. They were excellent, and they were good as a snack.
What to pay: Not sure, but I am sure that you will not be short changed.Add to your Trip Planner

Job profiles
Working as statistician means dealing with data and helping to find practical solutions to problems. If you are keen on numbers, IT and like compiling information, this could be the role for you
Statisticians are concerned with the collection, analysis, interpretation and presentation of quantitative information. They work in a range of sectors including:
As a statistician, you will design and manage experiments and surveys and deal with the initial collection of data. You'll process and analyse the data in context, looking for patterns to help make decisions. You will then advise on findings and recommend strategy.
Statisticians often work in teams, usually including professionals from other disciplines. Strong analytical and IT skills are essential, as are interpersonal and communication skills in order to share findings with your colleagues and clients.
Statisticians interpret data and communicate results to their clients, often with the aid of mathematical techniques and software. In this role you'll ensure that complex statistical concepts are explained in a way the client can understand, and advise on strategy. Some studies take only a few months to complete, while others can take years of work.
General tasks may include:
Depending on your area of work you may be involved in:
Salaries for medical statisticians are broadly comparable with those of government statisticians. Salaries in the pharmaceutical industry are generally higher with good financial rewards for those with the right combination of skills and experience. Salaries vary depending upon the area of work, location, qualifications and experience.
Figures are intended as a guide only.
Flexible working hours are common. Paid overtime is occasionally available.
Part-time work, home working and career breaks are also possible.
Employers typically look for graduates with a degree that has a statistical or quantitative component. Examples include:
Eligibility to apply for the Royal Statistical Society (RSS) professional qualification of Graduate Statistician is achieved through degree courses accredited by the RSS.
Graduates from other disciplines can apply to work in medical statistics, usually after having taken a Masters degree in a related subject such as:
For some jobs in government statistics you will need a minimum of a 2:1 degree which contains at least 25% of statistical content. For other posts, for example in the Government Statistical Service (GSS), you will need a first or second class degree in a numerate subject or a graduate diploma from the RSS.
Entry is also possible for those without a degree, but you'll need significant experience in a statistics-related field and continuing professional development (CPD) that leads to professional qualifications (e.g. the RSS Higher Certificate), to apply.
You can enter the civil service via the Civil Service Fast Stream: Government Statistical Service. This accelerated training and development programme is aimed at those who have the potential to be future leaders of the civil service.
Employers in the pharmaceutical industry look for graduates with an MSc or PhD in statistics or with a postgraduate degree which contains a significant statistical element. Holding a Masters or PhD is becoming increasingly common for entry into the profession and can help further your career. It may be possible to work part time while you are studying.
Qualifications such as the Graduate Diploma in Statistics, awarded by the RSS, may also be accepted. This qualification is equivalent to a good UK honours degree in statistics.
The choice of final year dissertation can be significant. These projects can provide a way of making useful contacts within the profession, as well as developing skills and knowledge. Access to events, training and newsletters featuring job listings can be gained by joining the RSS or Statisticians in the Pharmaceutical Industry (PSI).
Search for postgraduate courses in statistics.
You will need to have:
Work experience in the form of a work placement or a year out in professional training can provide the opportunity to see how statistical methods work in real-life. Opportunities are available in areas such as industry, business or commerce.
Summer placements for statisticians in the civil service are sometimes advertised by government departments.
The UK's largest producer of statistics is the GSS. It is a professional body, spread across more than 30 government departments and agencies.
Corresponding opportunities are offered in many branches of local government and government agencies, particularly dealing with performance data and resourcing.
Other employers of statisticians include:
Job titles may vary depending on the area of work, for example statisticians are also known as:
Look for job vacancies at:
Vacancies are handled by specialist recruitment agencies such as Datatech Analytics.
In most cases, your training will take place on the job. New recruits gain experience by working under the supervision of experienced staff until they are ready to work alone.
Statisticians are expected to keep their knowledge up to date by reading current literature and attending conferences and training. Many employers will support part-time study for an MSc in statistics.
Staff development programmes are available to statisticians working in universities and it is possible to take short courses in computing software, presentational skills, management and teaching.
Short courses can be useful and are run by organisations such as the:
Short courses are also available from various organisations in statistics and statistical software packages, e.g. SAS, SPSS, Stata and Minitab.
It is possible to become a Chartered Statistician (CStat), the highest professional qualification of the RSS. Candidates must have an approved degree (or equivalent) and approved professional training and experience for at least five years. Chartered statisticians are eligible to apply for Chartered Scientist (CSci) status, awarded by the Science Council.
Promotion depends on performance and merit within the GSS. Statisticians are part of an accelerated promotion programme and are encouraged to move post every two years to get exposure to as many different areas of statistics as possible. In order to get a promotion, assistants are required to sit formal promotion boards.
The higher grades at assistant statistician level can offer line-management responsibilities. Progression to a statistician grade will most likely involve heading up a statistics branch and managing a small team of assistants and administrators.
You could expect to compete for a senior grade (Grade 7 statistician), within four to five years of appointment or sooner, and the selection board will be looking for the potential to reach even higher levels. Senior statisticians manage a number of statistics branches and provide strategic leadership.
Statistical officers also have the opportunity for promotion. Promotion is based on merit, with the opportunity to progress to higher statistical officer and senior statistical officer before applying for Grade 7. Both routes can ultimately lead to positions in the senior civil service.
Within the pharmaceutical industry, statisticians generally begin their careers working as part of a team under more experienced statisticians. You can develop your career in various ways, for example through taking on management responsibilities for junior staff or by becoming a technical expert. Those able to demonstrate the right combination of skills and qualities can rise rapidly, taking on higher levels of responsibility. As many companies are international, there are opportunities for employment abroad.
Many organisations employ statisticians in small numbers, which means that opportunities for internal promotion may be limited. Promotion may be easier to find by changing employers. It is usually possible to switch between the different sectors after gaining a few years' experience. Larger companies usually have a promotion structure that allows for advancement into more senior management positions.
There are many career options and opportunities for diversification or specialisation at a later stage. With a PhD, prospects exist in research and teaching. Some statisticians move into related areas such as project management, regulatory work or work as a freelance consultant.
