Obama's Still a Tough Sell in South Florida
A panel discussion on the issues that matter to Jewish voters and which way they'll vote in this year's presidential election quickly descended into a harsh criticism of the lack of understanding of the challenges Barack Obama faces winning over the "condo" vote of older South Florida voters, a potentially key group in a battleground state.
"We need to recognize that there is a problem," said State Sen. Steven Geller, the Florida state Senate minority leader.
Geller and his colleague, state Senator Nan H. Rich, told a crowd of about 150 people attending a discussion the National Jewish Democratic Council organized of a hostile environment in which a mob mentality has taken hold. The problem is primarily among older residents living in condominium communities and more religious voters in Broward, Dade and south Palm Beach counties, where most of the region's Jewish population lives.
Interpretations that Obama's struggles to win over Jewish voters is due to Jewish support for Republican John McCain ignore what they described as an anti-Obama reality on the ground.
Rep. Robert Wexler, a Florida Democrat and key early Obama backer, "has almost been attacked" in strongholds of his South Florida district, Geller said.
Rich told a similar story of Senator Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey being verbally assaulted when he came down to promote Obama.
"He walked away shocked," said Rich, who faults misinformation campaigns by groups such as the Republican Jewish Council and debunked rumors spread via the Internet about Obama being Muslim, not saluting the American flag or being anti-Israel.
Obama's support in polls is at the low-end of the historical curve of Jewish support for Democratic candidates, and especially low for Democrats since the early 1990s, according to pollsters Mark Mellman and Anna Greenberg. But Obama's difficulties are hardly limited to Jewish voters. The pollsters and other panelist noted that Obama has generally drawn less support among white voters and older voters.
Obama supporters have had some success countering what they view as inaccurate information in small groups, but "when there is 300 people in a room they feed off each other and don't want to listen to us," said Geller, adding that the misinformation festers in these communities.
Rich urged Obama to spend time in South Florida doing a "condo tour" to dispel the misinformation and help these residents grow more comfortable with him.
Appearances by Connecticut Senator Joseph Lieberman, who remains popular, on behalf of McCain and the lack of Obama surrogates of comparable stature have exacerbated the problem.
"We probably don't have anybody of that stature down touring," said Geller.
Obama's selection of Joseph Biden as his vice presidential running mate may make a dent because of the Delaware senator's long-time support for the Jewish community. But even that likely isn't enough.
"Senator [Hillary] Clinton and Bill Clinton might be the only people who could make a difference," he said.

Hi Aaron,
What version of TrendMicro?
Spiceworks supports Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2006 & 2007 & Trend Micro Security Server for SMB according to the list I read here:
· · ·
Mar 19, 2008 at 10:23 UTC
Trend Micro Office Scan client 6.0 is installed on the computers in question. It seems to be supported via the WMI extensions (link below the AV list on the page you directed me to). It shows Trend Micro as a Partner, and Lists the Office Scan Product.
Any thoughts?

Computer Guided Implant Surgery
What is Computer Guided Implant Surgery?
How would you like if your implant team told you with confidence that they can "virtually" plan/execute your surgery prior to the actual procedure? The future is NOW! With the aide of a CBCT scan, and the newest CBCT planning software, Dr. Ace Jovanovski can give you a surgical plan with the end product in mind, eliminating guesswork.
The dental implant placement procedure is performed on a computer screen, in a 3D virtual setting, before the actual day of surgery. The doctors can properly prepare for what they will encounter during the actual procedure. This amazing computer technology also allows the doctors to preciously place your dental implants to ideally support the tooth (or teeth) that will be built on the dental implant once placed. A surgical guide, equipped with guide sleeves, will be printed with the newest CAD/CAM technology available. The surgical guide directs the angulation, position, and size of implant site, with no guesswork. Gone are the days of mal-aligned implants, and poor placement.
An added benefit of computerized dental implant placement is the minimal invasiveness of the procedure—reduction or elimination (in some cases) of incisions or stitches to place the implant body itself. This results in a much faster healing time, with little or no pain, swelling, or bruising.
Would I benefit from having computer guided implant surgery?
Many patients are excellent candidates for dental implants, but the service isn't right for everyone. Patients must have enough bone density to support the implant surgery. If you're not currently a candidate for dental implants, we can help you understand all your options so you can choose the one that's right for you
Pros & Cons of Computer Guided Implant Surgery:
With computer-guided dental implant surgery, it's possible for Dr. Ace Jovanovski to know exactly where he's going to place your implants. As a result, the surgical process is simplified. That means patients can look forward to a better experience overall, including a shorter procedure, a less invasive process, and a shorter recovery period afterwards
Dental implants are widely considered to be the best long-term restorative treatment for patients with one or more missing teeth. When compared to a traditional implants procedure, guided implants surgery offers patients a number of benefits, including:
- Precision and Predictability: Our software allows Dr. Ace to eliminate virtually all elements of uncertainty from the implant placement process, (such as angulation, depth of placement, amount of bone available, etc.) Subsequently, your surgical risks are reduced, with minimal or most often NO complications.
- Quicker Healing: Thanks to detailed vertical and horizontal 3-D images of your jaw, Dr. Ace can plan the placement or your implants with less impact (or damage) on surrounding bone, gum, and teeth.
- Immediate Use: After traditional implants surgery, patients often must wait several months to receive their restoration. However, with our computer-guided technology, Dr. Ace can prefabricate your temporary teeth prior to your surgery. Often, we can provide same-day implants and temporaries (IMMEDIATELY) that can give you a beautiful new smile after just one appointment.
Perhaps, the only disadvantage to computer guided implant placement is the extra time needed for the planning and fabrication of the surgical appliance (approximately 2 weeks). If there is an emergency situation that requires surgery immediately, the guide is not the best option. Additionally, there is an added laboratory expense to get the guides fabricated.

Forbes Woman Walks You Through Perfect Packing Process. Business Travel in Style and Ease
You know you won't need half the stuff in your suitcase. The next time you travel, pack lighter and pack smarter. Here's how.
"There are only two types of luggage," says Doug Dyment. "Carry-on luggage and lost luggage."
Dyment is a former computer technician and creator of OneBag, a travel blog that offers advice on what and how to pack. His perspective on single-bag travel is evangelical, and his commandments are based on the simple premise that a bit of forethought can alleviate the stress of packing, getting through the airport and navigating unfamiliar terrain with unwieldy luggage.
While the nightmare of waiting at baggage claim as the empty carousel spins and spins is enough to send most business travelers straight to a carry-on-only policy, consider this: A 2008 report from the Transportation Security Administration reveals that in a three-year period nearly 42,000 travelers have reported items as lost from their luggage at an estimated value of more than $31 million. Common items reported missing includes medicine, laptops, clothing and jewelry.

Digital-Particle-Image-Velocimetry (DPIV) in a scanning light-sheet: 3D starting flow around a short cylinder

Scanning-Particle-Image-Velocimetry Technique (SPIV), introduced by Brücker (1992) and Brücker and Althaus (1992), offers the quantitative investigation of three-dimensional vortical structures in unsteady flows. On principle, this technique combines classical Particle-Image-Velocimetry (PIV) with volume scanning using a scanning light-sheet. In our previous studies, single scans obtained from photographic frame series were evaluated to show the instantaneous vortical structure of the respective flow phenomena. Here, continuous video recordings are processed to capture also the temporal information for the study of the set-up of 3D effects in the cylinder wake. The flow is continuously sampled in depth by the scanning light-sheet and in each of the parallel planes frame-to-frame cross-correlation of the video images (DPIV) is applied to obtain the 2D velocity field. Because the scanning frequency and repetition rate is high in comparison with the characteristic time-scale of the flow, the evaluation provides a complete time-record of the 3D flow during the starting process. With use of the continuity concept as described by Robinson and Rockwell (1993), we obtained in addition the out-of-plane component of the velocity in spanwise direction. This in view, the described technique enabled the reconstruction of the three-dimensional time-dependent velocity and vorticity field. The visualization of the dynamical behaviour of these quantities as, e.g. by video, gave a good impression of the spanwise flow showing the "tornado-like" suction effect of the starting vortices.

Hi.there are many reasons which causes delayed period like uterine scarring due to some procedures,uterine abnormality, fibroid in uterus or endometriosis,certain medications, hormonal imbalance like thyroid disorders will effect menstrual cycle or pituitary disorders can also affect menstrual cycle or it might be PCOS. Stopping medications causing delayed periods will itself improve your condition.hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism treatment will help in bringing back the menstrual cycle to normalcy to some extent.If its a PCOS, you may also experience pimples, weight gain, excessive hair growth on your body,sometimes even depression will be there, based on the history you are mentioning I am suspecting hormonal imbalance, so kindly consult a gynecologist for further management.

Occasional pathogenic bacteria promoting ice-ice disease in the carrageenan-producing red algae Kappaphycus alvarezii and Eucheuma denticulatum (Solieriaceae, Gigartinales, Rhodophyta)

The bacterial isolates from normal and diseased branches of Kappaphycus alvarezii and Eucheuma denticulatum in the Philippines were examined for possible role in the development of the ice-ice disease. The numbers of bacteria on and in ice-iced branches were 10–100 times greater than those from normal, healthy ones. Gram-positive bacteria predominated in almost all branch sources, but with an increasing proportion of agar-lysing bacteria in branches suffering from the ice-ice disease. These agar-lysing bacteria were composed of yellow and non-pigmented, spreading colonies identified to the Cytophaga-Flavobacterium complex and the Vibrio group. Among isolates which mainly appeared on ice-iced branches, two strains, designated as P11 (Vibrio sp.) and P25 (Cytophage sp.), which showed pathogenic activity, were obtained. These strains caused early ice-ice whitening of K. alvarezii especially when subjecting branches to environmental stress, such as reduced salinity and light intensity, suggesting that these bacteria were occasionally pathogenic. This paper offers new evidence of bacterial role in the development of so-called ice-ice disease among farmed species of Kappaphycus.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from Poor Quality... The same size cut differently I bought 2 packages of these boxer briefs. The first 2 pairs where decent and fit alright so I bought another package, 2 more pairs. These second pairs weren't cut the same as the first ones and are terribly uncomfortable. The quality control of these is obviously poor. Do yourself a favor as will I and buy you boxer briefs from a reputable brand.

Arrow Launcher v126.96.36.199406
Requirements: 4.0.3+
Overview: The early release sports an interface reminiscent of Aviate, but appears less devoted to contextual recommendations. While the current version is fairly basic, the big ideas may still be on the horizon.
The first thing I noticed is that Arrow replaced the stock icons for system apps like Phone and Messages, which isn't in and of itself a bad thing but an unexpected behavior.
The main screen is divided into three sections. There is a row on top for recent apps, a larger area in the middle for frequently used apps, and the bottom row for user-selected quick access apps. One trick up Arrow's sleeve is that you can swipe up from that bottom row, revealing more apps, folders, and recent contacts. It chooses all of these for you to begin with so that the space isn't empty.
There is one page to the left and one to the right, each which serve specialized functions. You can't add or remove pages at this point. Swipe right and you get a running to-do list, which is very simplistic but does offer the ability to add scheduled reminders. Let's hope Wunderlist integration is forthcoming.
To the left is a set of shortcuts to recent and frequent contacts, in case the swipe-up shortcut wasn't useful enough for you. Last but not least, the app drawer is similar to the Android M Google Now Launcher and many others with that style.
Welcome to v3.4 of Arrow!
What's new:
- Notes! New card that allows you to easily jot down some notes, with image support.
- Android for Work apps support.
- New feature: create app shortcuts.
- Password protection option for hidden apps -- more secure than ever.

there is a sticky right above this thread...
I'm looking to buy the LCP for summertime CCW. While researching I noticed that they were recalled for several reasons, however, I'm unable to find a thread indicating what the recalls were, and if the problems were worked out. I must not be searching the correct words.
Also, for those who have one, what's your opinion? Any issues with reliability?
HAHAHA, I've been searching for like 45 minutes! How the heck did I miss that?

Category: baby names for twins
Back when I found out I was pregnant with twin girls, I read twin parenting books, asked adult twins what life was like for them (did they hate matchy matchy outfits?), went to an Expecting Twins prenatal and spent weeks trying to find the perfect baby names for twins. But nothing really prepared me for the reality of babies times two. While my husband was stoked to someday dress our girls as The Shining twins for Halloween, we were blissfully unaware of how much our lives were going to radically and wonderfully change 180 degrees.
To answer the questions that many people ask me ALWAYS: 1) Twins don't run in our family; 2) My pregnancy was "all-natural," as if IVF treatments aren't also a natural way to conceive a baby; 3) They are fraternal; 4) Yes, it's hard work, but as first-time parents, my husband and I don't know anything different.
For any expectant parents who are having multiples, here are seven things I wish I knew beforehand.
If a recent New York Times article is to be believed, naming a baby is more anxiety-inducing than ever before. So much pressure to find the one. perfect. name. But what happens when you need two perfect names and I don't mean in succession. Like virtually everything else to do with having twins, is naming them double the trouble?
There is a real sense in which choosing a pair of twins' names is just like choosing a sibling set. For me, the same basic rules applied. The names had to be complementary and of a comparable level of originality. They had to roll off the tongue together, because, lord knows, they will be spoken in tandem more often than you can imagine. It would be a bonus if they shared some common, but not overwhelming, feature: a group of letters perhaps or a vague significance of meaning. Better yet, a sense of style. I have seen, for instance, all of my children's names described as "Antique Charm." This was a happy coincidence for the first two. For the twins, as numbers three and four, it felt almost like a necessity.
A while back, we asked you to list your favorite names, one for a girl and one for a boy, from A to Z.
Now we're inviting you to reprise that exercise, but with a pair of twin names for each letter.
You are welcome to mix it up: some girl-girl twin names, some boy pairs, and some girl-boy mixes. Create pairs with clever matching themes or flow, if that's your preference, or choices that are very distinct from one another and are connected mainly by their first initial.
The only rule is that each pair of twin names start with the same first letter.
So your list might read:
…..and so on.
Your turn!
It's a name nerd's fantasy: Naming twin girls.
You want two girls' names that are compatible yet distinct, that are consistent in style and image and gender identity yet sound no more alike than the names of sisters.
The most popular names for girl twins range from the top of the charts Olivia and Sophia to cutesy pairs such as Faith and Hope or Heaven and Neveah to sound-alikes Ella and Emma. But we know you can do better than that.
Today's Question of the Week concerns twin names
If you were having twins tomorrow—well, maybe not tomorrow, exactly—what would you name:
- A girl-girl set
- A boy-boy set
- A girl-boy set?
Would you go the old-style twin names route and give them matching initials or names that rhyme?
Would you seek a similar feel and style?

Strategy: Rent a room near the office for the night. Under a new IRS ruling, you can deduct the cost of the room as an employee business expense. If your company foots the bill, the payment is tax-free to you as a "working-condition" fringe benefit. (IRS Notice 2007-47)
The new ruling represents a complete about-face from regulations previously issued on this point.
Here's the whole story: Generally, you can deduct the "ordinary and necessary" business expenses you incur, including travel costs away from home on business. That includes lodging expenses that are not lavish or extravagant. But you can't deduct your personal, living or family expenses. Under the prevailing regulations, the IRS generally treats lodging costs as nondeductible personal expenses. (IRC Regulation 1.262-1(b)(5) If your employer pays for the lodging, it's taxable income to you.
But now, the IRS is approving a special exception for local lodging that enables you to catch 40 winks before or after business meetings. It has issued interim guidance for hard-working execs.
New rule: The IRS says it will amend the regs to allow deductions for local lodging costs as an ordinary and necessary business expense. This exception will apply if your employer requires you to obtain local lodging. Until the IRS formally amends the regulations, the new rule applies if the following three conditions are met:
1. The lodging is provided on a temporary basis.
2. The lodging is necessary for the employee to participate in, or be available for, a business meeting or function of the employer.
3. The expenses would otherwise be deductible by the employee or would be deductible if paid by the employee.
Furthermore, the IRS also noted that employer reimbursements of such expenses would qualify for tax-free treatment as a working-condition fringe benefit. That perk covers services provided to an employee that the employee could deduct if he or she paid for it.
Tip: The IRS won't contest this issue in audits until the smoke clears.

Tower Hamlets mayor Lutfur Rahman embarked on a long campaign of "intimidation, corruption and fraud" in order to bully his way into power, a court heard today.
The claim was made at the High Court after a hearing brought by residents got underway. They demand last May's Mayoral election be re-run on the grounds Mr Rahman won it by electoral fraud.
Petitioners Andrew Erlam, Debbie Simone, Azmal Hussein and Angela Moffat brought the claim – which is due to hear from 100 witnesses – alleging voters in the east London borough were spat on, canvassers were paid in the run-up to the election and free lunches were used to win over voters.
Mr Rahman, Britain's first directly elected mayor, rejects the claims as "unsubstantiated, cynical and politically motivated".
Today the court heard Mr Rahman had been refused by the Labour Party, which he used to lead locally, to stand as its mayoral candidate for the previous election in 2010 after hearing claims he:
Abused his position as leader (of Labour) by handpicking supporters as candidates.
Was used by the Islamic Forum for Europe (IFE), "a secret society", to infiltrate the Labour Party.
Supported and funded a new organisation, the Community Consortium Against Poverty, believed to be a "creature of fraud".
Funded groups backed by IFE.
Gave a speech to a crowd of angry men outside the East London Mosque in June 2010, leading to death threats against Helel Abbas (his successor as leader of the Labour Group on the Council) and his children by text and telephone messages from Rahman's supporters.
Filled the Tower Hamlets Labour Party with electors who did not live at the addresses at which they were registered, including his own sister and her husband at his property when they had not lived there for three years.
Francis Hoar, representing the petitioners, told the court: "All of them [the witnesses in the case], they know about corruption, they know about Lutfur Rahman and they know how almost one year ago he subverted democracy to be re-elected Mayor of Tower Hamlets."
"Since the beginning of his career, he has been prepared to take out whatever steps, whatever means and recruit whatever support to take power, power for himself, power for his friends and power over his own community.
"He was from 2005 to 2010 the leader of the Labour group on the council of the London borough of Tower Hamlets and it's there his career of corruption, his career of intimidation, his career fraud began."
The court also heard signatures on a petition which forced a referendum on whether there should be an elected mayor of the borough in 2010 included up to "50 per cent forged" signatures.
The court heard that with last year's election witnesses saw one voter crying outside a polling station after allegedly being told by a supporter of Mr Rahman, who went independent after leaving Labour and later formed Tower Hamlets First, that it was "un-Islamic not to vote for him" and that if you did not vote for him you were "not a good Muslim".
The court also heard Mr Rahman's supporters tried to smear Labour opponent John Biggs by branding him a "racist fascist".
Meals including "meat curry, rice and vegetables" were also given out during election day, it was claimed at the hearing. The allegations would be illegal under the Representation of the People Act.
Mr Hoar said: "They don't give a damn about the law, they don't give a damn about due process and about how their man gets in…He (Mr Rahman) would rather win by fraud."
He added that volcanic "sulphur has long been bubbling" in the borough, adding: "Mr Rahman will say I know nothing. There may have been corruption, there may have been fraud, I know nothing, I don't know what was going on in my name. I'm not responsible for it…but the explanation is so poor as to be laughable. The evidence will expose it and expose it good."
Tower Hamlets has been branded a "rotten borough" over claims of corruption and religious extremism and Communities Secretary Eric Pickles took direct control of the council last year.
A report by PricewaterhouseCoopers also found public buildings had been sold to allies of the mayor, Mr Rahman, and thousands of pounds had been given as grants to ineligible bodies.
It is also said Mr Rahman used £954,000, identified in a PwC report as a slush fund, to pay lunch clubs, directed particularly at his main supporters in the Bangladeshi community, in key wards.
Mr Rahman denies all the allegations.
The court heard allegations against returning officer John Williams have been withdrawn.
Mr Hoar also told the court much of the campaign to elect Mr Rahman was "corrupt" and amounted to "bribery" because lunch clubs were used to garner support, canvassers were paid and that Mr Rahman's relationship with local TV channels supporting him was "corrupt".
Of one meeting with a voter, one of Mr Rahman's senior associates is alleged to have promised free coach trips to Southend. Mr Hoar added: "He offered [the voter] coach trips to Southend-on-Sea for free and when he tapped his flat hand on his chest he showed a bundle of £50 notes."
The associate of Mr Rahman, also a councillor, was then alleged to have said: "If you keep supporting me, we will stay as good Muslims untied [? United?]. If you support the other parties they will divide us, they will destroy our values just like the crusades against Muslims globally as well as locally."
Mr Hoar also told the court broadcasts shown on TV amounted to "bribery" because grants had been given to media channels which aired them locally by Mr Rahman's administration, allegedly in return for positive publicity.
He said two "nauseously sycophantic" broadcasts, including one advert, were ruled "unlawful" by regulator Ofcom.
He said the respondents' case was often based on "lies, made-up statements and a degree of coercion and control over a community".
The court heard some witnesses had been scared to come for the hearing because some of them had received threats and so had their families abroad.
The hearing continues.Reuse content

The First National Wild Seed Harvest
Dear Sir or Madam;
I have started my petition for the "First National Wild Seed Harvest" which would take place in our national parks and forests; collecting wild seeds from the seed bearing trees; paid for by the Federal Government; a brilliant idea; by one Kyrle Frying as the founder of the "Sons of New Philadelphia"; a democratic grass roots organization of which I am the secretary.
This project is thus of one real agenda: that of having people put to work as added to the workforce of the Rangers and other Park Employees by taking their places as harvesters of our seed - bearing trees; especially the native hardwoods and fruit bearing trees.
These employed workers in the National Works Project would earn $21.60 a pound for all collected seeds in the Harvest; and would thus make a living wage; in the Big Tent we would build in every National Park that participated in the Johnny Appleseed Project. All would live together and work in three month shifts; thus the regional goals would rotate for planting and harvesting; year round.
thank you;
christopher witt diamant
Sons of the New Philadelphia
I have started my petition for the "First National Wild Seed Harvest" which would take place in our national parks and forests as being the First Work of the National Works project as for bringing volunteers to these places and having them harvest the wild seeds for the National Refoerestation or "Johnny Appleseed Project" to replace the overcut old growth state forest and parks across America.
By having young and old out in our National Parks and Forests we can employ Millions soon and Thousands Now; in America To Work; the National Work Projects itself having the Ideal of Honest Work for an Honest Living.
Having our volunteer workers collecting wild seeds from the seed bearing trees; and then paid by weight for the seeds collected thus makes it cost effective; $21.60 a pound for all wild seeds collected in this First Harvest paid for by the Federal Government; a brillinat idea; by one Kyrle Frying as the founder of the "Sons of New Philadelphia"; a democratic grass roots organization of which I am the secretary.
This petition would start the first National Works Project by having volunteers come out to works in the forest and parks harvesting wild seeds; for 8 dollars an hour.
In the name of that first American Saint: Johnny Appleseed; our Ideal is "God's Grace: the National Reforestation Project: Creating the Future for the Next Generation"
thank you,
christopher diamant started this petition with a single signature, and now has 302 supporters. Start a petition today to change something you care about.

Roel Nieuwenkamp on how firms can use the OECD's guidelines on responsible business conduct to tackle abuse in their supply chains
The recent migrant crisis paired with shocking exposés of labour issues in global supply chains has heightened public attention to modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking. Children working in cobalt mines for the Apple and Samsung supply chains; Syrian refugees working under terrible circumstances for garment supply chains in Turkey (see Brands slammed over Syrian refugees in Turkey's garment trade) ; Rohingya refugees working as slaves in the Thai fishing industry; and North African migrants working in agriculture in Italy and Spain.
The OECD Guidelines for Multinationals on Responsible Business Conduct are recommendations to companies, agreed by 46 adhering governments, that recommend companies carry out supply chain due diligence to identify, prevent, mitigate and account for all adverse impacts that they cover, including child labour and forced labour. The OECD has developed more detailed guidance on how these expectations can be responded to in specific sectors, including conflict minerals. This week the governments reached a global agreement on a guidance for the garment and footwear sector. It was developed after a multi-stakeholder process comprising garment brands, producers, governments, NGOs and trade unions. In February 2017 it will be launched.
Although the OECD Guidelines are non-binding, they are accompanied by a unique grievance mechanism, the National Contact Points (NCPs). NCPs in the 46 countries that adhere to the guidelines facilitate dialogue and mediation with companies that allegedly do not observe their recommendations. Several issues regarding forced or child labour in supply chains have been brought to the NCP mechanism and some have resulted in successful outcomes.
For example, in 2011 complaints were submitted to the NCP mechanism regarding sourcing of cotton from Uzbekistan cultivated using child labour. NCP mediation led to several agreements with companies involved in sourcing the products as well as heightened industry attention to this issue. In a follow-up to the NCP processes several years later, the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR) concluded that the submission of the cases had encouraged traders to take steps to pressure the Uzbek government to end forced labour, although company commitment and media attention around the issue diminished over time. Nevertheless, the report also noted that the NCP cases triggered investment banks to monitor forced labour issues in Uzbekistan in the context of their investments.
Other NCP cases, while not resulting in agreements between the parties, have led to statements determining that certain companies were not observing the recommendations of the OECD Guidelines in the context of forced labour impacts, resulting in reputational harm to those enterprises (see the case of France's DEVCOT). Currently the Swiss national contact point is overseeing mediation between the Building and Wood Worker's International (WWI) and Fifa regarding forced labour issues in Qatar. The results will have important implications for global sporting events and for managing risks of forced labour in large scale infrastructure projects.
Companies themselves have been proactive in addressing these issues. For example, Nestlé, despite currently being subject to a lawsuit related to slave labour in its supply chain, participated in and released a report developed with the non-profit organization Verité that identified labour abuses in its supply chain with regard to Thai-sourced seafood. Within the report the company outlined plans to tackle the problem, and notes that other companies that do business in this sector likely face the same risks.
In February this year, H&M asked all of its suppliers to sign an agreement prohibiting the use of cotton from Turkmenistan and Syria, on pain of termination in order to avoid sourcing of cotton from Isis controlled territories, produced through forced labour. H&M also terminated a sourcing relationship with a Turkish supplier after discovering a Syrian migrant child working in its factory, responding to documented abuses against Syrian refugees in the Turkish textile industry.
Protest over Rohingya refugees (credit: paintings)
Labour issues in global supply chains present a serious and pressing problem, therefore it is encouraging to see they are being taken seriously. In addition to regulatory approaches, non-binding mechanisms such as the OECD Guidelines, accompanied by the NCP system, and industry initiatives, have resulted in important progress and provide alternative models for managing forced labour risks throughout global supply chains. While litigating these issues can be a forceful tactic in bringing companies to account, non-judicial grievance mechanisms can provide a more affordable and accessible platform for tackling forced labour issues.
In the context of modern slavery, all stakeholders must step up their efforts. Governments should promote due diligence in global supply chains among their companies as outlined in the OECD Guidelines and its related industry-specific instruments. Civil society can continue to be instrumental in reporting upon and exposing these issues and furthermore should rely on the NCP platform for reaching resolutions on supply chain issues with multinational companies. Finally, as the current migrant crisis will last many years, companies should conduct heightened due diligence to ensure that they are not linked to forced labour throughout their supply chains, particularly in contexts with large migrant populations.

Shares more than halved to 35p during hectic trading in the final minutes before the stock market closed on Friday.
Jarvis, chaired by Steven Norris, the unsuccessful Conservative candidate in the election last month for the Mayor of London, also admitted it was in breach of banking agreements.
The banks, headed by Royal Bank of Scotland, have given Jarvis until July 30 to produce a recovery plan. One analyst said: 'The banks are now in charge at Jarvis.'
The company is worth just £39 million, though two years ago it had a stock market value of £650 million.
It abandoned its rail maintenance business last year in the wake of the 2002 Potters Bar tragedy in north London when a train jumped a section of track maintained by Jarvis. Seven people were killed.
The dramatic plunge in the share price is the worst suffered by the company for 15 years and took the value of its shares to their lowest point since 1996.
The bulk of the write-downs - £115 million - relate to its troubled accommodation services division, which refurbishes schools and universities.
The division has been plagued by contract delays, cost overruns and numerous management changes.
Shareholders, who have already seen profit forecasts for Jarvis cut twice this year, will not be receiving a final dividend.
Chief executive Kevin Hyde said: 'This is an extremely challenging time for the group. We are taking the necessary decisions and implementing them.'
A spokesman for the company said there were many examples of firms that had breached banking covenants and went on to stage a full recovery.
Plans to revive its fortunes, including cutting costs, are expected along with the group's financial results, which Jarvis says will be released towards the end of the month - a fortnight later than usual.
The stock market value of the group is now dwarfed by its net debts of £230 million.
One option is a debt-for-equity swap, but that could mean a further slide in the price of the shares.
Jarvis has already taken some steps to cuts costs and raise cash.
Last month, the group decided to abandon a planned move to plush new headquarters in central London to stay at its offices in Watton-at-Stone, Hertfordshire.
The company renegotiated its lease on its present office and plans to find tenants to which it can let the £30 million site near London's Smithfield market.
And last Thursday, the group announced that it was selling its interest in an Estonian railway company, Baltic Rail Services, for £6.75 million.

Quarter marks
Quarter marks are a type of ornamentation on a horse seen in certain types of exhibition or competition. Typically, these marks are found on the croup of the animal and are created by combing its hair in different directions, creating contrasting areas.[1] The classic design was created by hand-creating each square with a small brush or comb. However, in modern times, they can also be created quite quickly by use of a stencil lain on a given area with the exposed hair brushed in a different direction than other growth. Hair spray or setting gel is often used to help the pattern stay in place.[2]
Commonly, quarter marks are made in a checkerboard pattern, but many variations exist. In addition to highlighting the shine and health of the horse's coat, some designs are intended to help define the musculature of the horse or simply as an identifying or fun mark[3]. Use of modern stencils allows for creation of fanciful shapes such as stars or hearts. Quarter marks tend to go in and out of style in the horse show ring and are seen more in certain regions than others.
Quarter marks are frequently seen on police horses when performing ceremonial duties. One well-known example is the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who, on ceremonial occasions, decorate the hindquarters of the animals with a maple leaf shaped design.[4][5]
