Fire Extinguisher Training
Knowing how to properly operate a fire extinguisher can be the difference between containing a fire and major property damage. Employees who have participated in fire safety training react faster than those without training. The same PASS (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep) technique taught during training is used to extinguish home fires. Employees can take what they learn in the workplace and apply at home.
Participants learn first-hand how to extinguish a fire during an outdoor fire demonstration. Under controlled conditions, participants experience how to successfully extinguish a fire. Upon completion of the training, the facility receives a certificate and each participant receives a card recognizing their participation.
Please contact BFPE International to schedule your next training class or to purchase fire extinguishers .

Showcasing Assessment Week at ATSS: "Satirizing Abbotsford's Issues"
It is an exciting time in education in BC as we explore new ways of assessing student learning. At the end of first semester a few weeks ago, secondary schools took the first step in departing from traditional exam week and introduced "Assessment Week": a weeklong opportunity that in reflecting the priorities of the new curriculum, promoted risk taking and innovation by giving students a chance to "show what they know" in new and personalized ways. The following is one example of inquiry based learning and demonstrations of learning facilitated by English teachers Elizabeth Smoes and Becky Toews at Abbotsford Traditional Secondary School. Thank you, Elizabeth, for providing the following summary of your students' inquiries.
-Gino Bondi, Assistant Superintendent
All grade 11 English students at Abbotsford Traditional Secondary School, under the guidance of their teachers Elizabeth Smoes and Becky Toews, embarked on a 6-week long Inquiry Based Project. Students needed to determine how they could best highlight a community based issue through the use of satire. n groups, students researched issues like Abbotsford's homelessness, unaffordable housing, fentanyl overdoses, gang violence and more. As part of their research, groups made contact with an expert in the community in the field they were researching. APD's Cst. Kern was a primary contact for students and underwent many interviews to help support the students with their project.
All their hard work culminated on January 27th when V.I.P.'s in our community came to participate in the students' Presentation of Learning. In attendance were Abbotsford's mayor Henry Braun and Police Chief Bob Rich. Cliff Mac Arthur, a retired judge, and Martin Declare, the director from Psalm 23 Transition Society provided ATSS students with an authentic audience to showcase how they used humor, irony and exaggeration to shed light on concerning issues in their community. Students' final satire products included memes, movie trailers, public service announcements and more. It was an utter success!

Women fashion is something which is very interesting to follow, there will always be something new which will make the women fashion world becomes more interesting. In this modern era, following the fashion trend becomes something very important for the women, so that they are not called as the out of date women. In this special occasion I will focus on the women bags, to be exact the women handbags. Actually women handbags already become the necessary item which should always be brought in every woman's activity. There are many kinds of women handbags which sold on the market, one of the most popular one is the navy blue handbags.
The Special Charm from the Navy Blue Handbags
Women handbags industry experiences the number of great development which make there will always be new handbags design which can be chosen by the women to look always up to date. Navy blue handbags are one example of the new handbags which become very popular due its beautiful design which can make the women's confidence increase. These women's blue handbags can also be combined with the number of dress color; it means the women can feel free to combine these special handbags with many kinds of dress.
Formerly women will spend large amount of money just to find the number of handbags which is in accordance with her dress color. We can say that every dress color should have the handbags couple which means you will need many handbags as much as the dress colors that you have. But with the existence of the navy blue handbags, you can also combine these special handbags with the number of dress color you have. Navy blue handbags designer already realizes this problem which will be experienced by almost all of the women.
The designer who already realize this condition try to solve the women problem which often find the difficulties to choose special handbags design which actually can be combined with the number of dress color. This condition will make the navy blue handbags owner reduce their budget which should be spent to buy the other handbags color because they already have special handbags which can be combined with the number of dress color. You can also get the navy blue handbags online which means you do not need to visit many shops just to find these special handbags.
Navy blue handbags can be used by the women as the great alternative handbags when there are no handbags which are suitable with the dress color and design which you want to use. As everybody knows, women have very complex preparation with their appearance before they are ready to leave their home. They must make sure everything was in accordance to their wishes.
Sometimes they can cancel their appointment just because they cannot find certain stuff which they want to apply. We can say that they already planned the number of stuff which will be brought to full their appointment. With the existence of the navy blue handbags it can reduce the risk of losing the handbags which want to be used because it can be combined with the other dress color.

Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Risk Assessments:
DHS Should Establish More Specific Guidance for Their Use
GAO-12-272: Published: Jan 25, 2012. Publicly Released: Jan 25, 2012.

What GAO Found
Since 2004, DHSs use of its CBRN risk assessments to inform its CBRN response plans has varied, from directly influencing information in the plans to not being used at all. DHS guidance states that response planning and resource decisions should be informed by risk information. GAOs analysis showed that DHS used its CBRN risk assessments to directly inform 2 of 12 CBRN response plans GAO identified because planners considered the risk assessments to be more accurate than earlier DHS planning assumptions. For another 7 of the 12 plans, DHS officials said that the assessments indirectly informed the plans by providing background information prior to plan development. However, GAO could not independently verify this because DHS officials could not document how the risk assessments influenced the information contained in the plans. GAOs analysis found general consistency between the risk assessments and the plans. For the remaining 3 plans, DHS officials did not use the risk assessments to inform the plans; for 2 of the 3 plans DHS officials told GAO they were not aware of the assessments. DHS officials also noted that there was no departmental guidance on when or how the CBRN risk assessments should be used when developing such plans.
Since 2004, DHSs use of its CBRN risk assessments to inform its CBRN-specific capabilities has varied, from directly impacting its capabilities to not being used at all. Of the 7 capabilities GAO reviewed, one was directly informed by the risk assessments; DHS used its biological agent risk assessments to confirm that its BioWatch program could generally detect the biological agents posing the greatest risk. For 5 of the 7 capabilities, DHS officials said they used the risk assessments along with other information sources to partially inform these capabilities. For example, DHS used its chemical agent risk assessments to determine whether its chemical detectors and the risk assessments were generally aligned for the highest risk agents. For 3 of these 5 capabilities, GAO could not independently verify that they were partially informed by the risk assessments because DHS officials could not document how the risk assessments influenced the capabilities. DHS did not use its CBRN risk assessments to inform the remaining CBRN capability because the assessments were not needed to meet the capabilitys mission.
DHS and its components do not have written procedures to institutionalize their use of DHSs CBRN risk assessments for CBRN response planning and capability investment decisions. Standards for internal control in the federal government call for written procedures to better ensure managements directives are enforced. DHS does not have procedures that stipulate when and how DHS officials should use the departments CBRN risk assessments to inform CBRN response planning and capability investment decisions, and GAO found variation in the extent to which they were used. DHS officials agree with GAO that without written procedures, the consistent use of the departments CBRN risk assessments by DHS officials may not be ensured beyond the tenure of any given agency official. DHS could better help to ensure that its CBRN response plans and capabilities are consistently informed by the departments CBRN risk assessments by establishing written procedures detailing when and how DHS officials should consider using the risk assessments to inform their activities.
Why GAO Did This Study
The 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States highlighted the need to develop response plans and capabilities to protect U.S. citizens from chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) agents. Since 2004, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has spent at least $70 million developing more than 20 CBRN risk assessments. GAO was requested to assess, from fiscal year 2004 to the present, the extent to which DHS has used its CBRN risk assessments to inform CBRN response plans and CBRN capabilities, and has institutionalized their use. GAO examined relevant laws, Homeland Security Presidential Directives, an Executive Order, DHS guidance, and all 12 relevant interagency CBRN response plans developed by DHS. Based on a review of a United States governmentwide CBRN database and DHS interviews, among other things, GAO selected a nongeneralizable set of seven DHS capabilities used specifically for detecting or responding to CBRN incidents to identify examples of DHSs use of its CBRN risk assessments. GAO also interviewed relevant DHS officials. This is a public version of a classified report that GAO issued in October 2011. Information DHS deemed sensitive or classified has been redacted.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends that DHS develop more specific guidance, including written procedures, that details when and how DHS components should consider using the departments CBRN risk assessments to inform related response planning efforts and capability investment decision making. DHS agreed with the recommendation.

Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: On April 12, 2016, officials from the DHS Science & Technology Directorate (S&T) stated that the department has placed an indefinite hold on developing a written policy and associated procedures to address our recommendation that the department establish more specific guidance that details when and how DHS components should consider using the department's CBRN risk assessments to inform related response plan and capability investment decision making. S&T officials explained that the department is in the process of considering and potentially developing additional analytics and tools for practical decision-support application of the CBRN risk assessments. According to officials, this project, referred to as the DHS CBRN Mitigation Optimization and Net Assessment (MONA), identified 102 DHS programs that have some ability to influence national CBRN terrorism risk. S&T officials are working to estimate the amount of CBRN terrorism risk that each program could potentially "buy down" if implemented fully. Officials stated that the goal of MONA is to create decision support tools for CBRN terrorism risk and performance management at the department. For example, one goal of the program is for DHS officials to be able to estimate an optimized CBRN program portfolio based in part on the cumulative CBRN terrorism risk buy-down metric. As of April 2016, S&T officials stated that they were in the early stages of producing these new analyses and tools and that any potential related policies and procedures on the use of the CBRN risk assessments would not be developed until these new analyses and tools are developed and socialized among DHS component officials responsible for CBRN related activities. As it is unclear if or when DHS will develop the guidance called for in our recommendation, we are closing this recommendation as unimplemented.
Recommendation: To better ensure the consistent use of DHS's CBRN risk assessments at the department's components and agencies, the Secretary of Homeland Security should establish more specific guidance, including written procedures, that details when and how DHS components should consider using the department's CBRN risk assessments to inform related response plan and capability investment decision making.

Amazing FACTS about your brain
Scientifically proven FACTS about this mysterious thing we call the "brain":
- One human brain generates more electrical impulses in a single day than all the world's telephones put together. Every thought and pattern of light, sound, movement, smell and sensation is converted into a sequence of electric pulses, which is received and translated by your brain.
- Your brain needs a continuous supply of oxygen. A 10 minute loss of oxygen will usually cause significant neural damage. Cold can lengthen this time, which is why cold-water drowning victims have been revived after as much as 40 minutes — without brain damage.
- Your brain uses a fifth of all the blood in your body. It needs it to keep up with the heavy metabolic demands of its neurons. It needs not only the glucose that is delivered by the blood, but of course, the oxygen too.
- There are about 100,000 miles of blood vessels in one human brain. If they were stretched out, they would circle the earth more than four times.
- Your brain feels no pain. There are no nerves that register pain within the brain itself. Because of this, neurosurgeons can probe the brain while a patient is conscious. By doing this, they can use feedback from the patient to identify important regions such as those used for speech or visualization.
- The cerebellum is sometimes called the "little brain" and weighs about 150 grams (a little over five ounces). Found at the lower rear of your brain. Your cerebellum enables you to maintain posture, to walk and to perform coordinated movements. It may also play a role in your sense of smell.
- The human brain weighs an average of a little over three pounds, or 1.4 kilograms. Albert Einstein's brain may have been smaller than yours, because he was smaller than average. There is a general correlation between body size and the size of our brains.
- An elephant's brain is huge — about six times as large as a human brain. However, in relation to body size, humans have the largest brain of all the animals, averaging about 2% of body weight. A cat's brain weighs about one ounce, a little over 1% of body weight.
- On average you have about 100 billion neurons. You'll be happy about that after reading the next item.
- You loose approximately 85,000 neurons every day of your life. Fortunately, this goes unnoticed due to the superfluous supply of neurons with which we are endowed; and the fact that even after three years this loss adds up to less than 1% of the total.
- Recent research proves that your brain continues to produce new neurons throughout your life. Scientists refer to this as brain plasticity or neuro-plasticity.
- It has also been proven that neuro-plasticity increases in response to stimulation — such as the Brain Power exercises you will learn if you attend the Brain Power seminar or sign up for our newsletter.
- So, go ahead and book to improve your Brain Power today! Your life will never be the same again.

The chapter states that the elderly population in the United States is growing more rapidly than the total population. In particular, the number of workers is rising slowly, while the number of retirees is rising quickly. Concerned about the future of Social Security, some members of Congress propose a "freeze" on the program.
If tax payments per worker were frozen, what would happen to total expenditures? To benefits per retiree?
I would think by the use of the word frozen that tax payment would be fixed and in that case total expenditures would be fixed and benefits per retiree would be fixed, as well. Is this correct?
No, not correct. If the PAYMENTS per employee were fixed, with the number of employees relative to the number of retirees decreasing, then the money available per retiree (and their payments) would have to drop.
Total expenditures would rise with the number of workers, which continues to increase in this country mainly as a result of legal and illegal immigration, but expenditures would not rise as fast as the retired population.
So the benefits per retiree, being that expenditures would not rise as fast as the retired population, would be on the decline, true or not?
If the number of retirees was rising and total expenditures were frozen, then benefits per retiree would decline over time. Because the number of workers is rising, albeit slowly, tax payments per worker would decline slowly over time.
If benefits per retiree were frozen, total expenditures would rise quickly, along with the number of retirees. To pay for the increased expenditures, tax payments per worker would rise because the number of workers isn't growing as rapidly as the number of retirees.
If tax payments per worker were frozen, total expenditures would rise slowly, at the same rate as the growth rate of the number of workers. Because the number of retirees is rising more rapidly, benefits per retiree would decline over time. See Section: The Federal Government.

Your Mayo Clinic care team Mayo Clinic doctors trained in heart disease (cardiologists) collaborate as a multidisciplinary team with heart surgeons (cardiac surgeons) and other health care professionals to provide you with coordinated, comprehensive care. This collaborative approach means doctors can often evaluate you and develop a treatment plan within two or three days. Individualized approach Doctors at Mayo Clinic provide care for you as a whole person. Doctors take the time to get to know you and work with you to provide exactly the care you need. Heart valve disease discussion at Mayo Clinic A doctor and health care professional discuss heart valve disease with a person receiving care at Mayo Clinic. Innovative treatment Mayo Clinic doctors and surgeons have experience and training in performing innovative surgical procedures to conduct mitral valve repair and mitral valve replacement and other heart valve surgeries. Doctors repair the mitral valve when possible instead of replacing it, as it preserves the valve and may preserve heart function. Robot-assisted heart surgery at Mayo Clinic A Mayo Clinic surgeon sits at a remote console and uses robotic arms to conduct robot-assisted heart surgery. A surgical team assists at the operating table. Mayo cardiac surgeons may perform minimally invasive heart surgery to repair a mitral valve, which involves the use of smaller incisions than those used in open-heart surgery. Surgeons may sometimes perform robot-assisted heart surgery, a type of minimally invasive heart surgery in which surgeons use robotic arms to conduct the procedure. Robot-assisted heart surgery team at Mayo Clinic A Mayo Clinic surgeon and surgical team assist with robot-assisted heart surgery, while another surgeon sits at a remote console controlling the robotic arms. Mayo doctors may use less invasive catheter procedures to repair mitral valves using plugs, clips or other devices. Doctors may also use a catheter procedure to insert a replacement valve in a biological tissue replacement valve that is no longer working. Research and innovation Mayo doctors have been pioneers in many types of heart valve surgery, such as mitral valve repair and aortic valve repair, for many years. Doctors continue to study new surgical options to repair or replace the mitral valve, including catheter procedures, minimally invasive heart surgery and other techniques. Researchers study diagnostic tests and treatment options for mitral valve disease and conduct clinical trials.

Visit the House Museum to find out what life was like in Queensland in the 19th century. Old Government House was one of the first buildings to be protected by heritage legislation in Queensland.
Old Government House features an extensive collection of the work of Australian contemporary artist William Robinson.
Old Government House features an extensive collection of the work of Australian contemporary artist William Robinson.
Located in the Old Government House courtyard, The Pantry is the perfect spot for a relaxing meal, a quick bite or a coffee to-go. You can also book an elegant high tea on Sundays.
Old Government House was constructed between 1860 and 1862. The building served as the residence for 11 Queensland governors and their families, until in 1909 it was decided that the Governor needed a larger, more impressive residence.
The building was then used as the first campus of the University of Queensland, before becoming part of Queensland Institute of Technology (one of QUT's predecessors).
Old Government House was one of the first buildings to be protected by heritage legislation in Queensland, and has been extensively restored. QUT accepted custodianship of the building in 2002 and, after a major restoration project, re-opened it to the public in 2009.
History of Old Government House in detail
Find out what life was like in the house and in Queensland in the 19th century by joining a guided tour, listening to our podcast tour or navigating through our virtual model of the house.
House Museum
Located on the upper floor of Old Government House, the William Robinson Gallery honours the life and work of distinguished Australian contemporary artist William Robinson.
A two-time winner of both the Archibald Prize for portraiture and the Wynne Prize for landscape painting, William Robinson is one of the most successful Australian artists of his generation.
The gallery is establishing the definitive collection of Robinson's work, exploring the full range of his artistic practice. The collection includes his two Archibald-Prize-winning paintings, along with more than 100 other works and a comprehensive archive. The gallery presents exhibitions examining particular periods and themes of Robinson's work.

Yes, another Beedie Yosemite Photo! Bridalveil Fall: The Ahwahneechee tribe believed that Bridalveil Fall was home to a vengeful spirit named Pohono which guarded the entrance to Yosemite valley, and those leaving the valley must not look directly into the waterfall lest they be cursed. They also believed that inhaling the mist of Bridalveil Fall would improve one's chances of marriage. (wikipedia.com)

Investors fled Greek bonds on Tuesday, pushing up the cost of new borrowing for the debt-stricken nation and calling into question a joint rescue plan by the European Union and the International Monetary Fund.
As early as May, Greece will need to raise an additional 11.6 billion euros ($15.5 billion), to cover a gaping budget deficit and refinance old debt as it comes due. The surge in interest rates on Greek bonds is expected to make it harder, and more expensive, for the country to borrow the money it needs.
Over the last few months, worries about a possible default by Greece have unnerved markets around the world, forcing European leaders and the I.M.F. to come up with a plan to provide aid in the event that Greece could no longer raise money from private investors.
That plan, announced on March 25, was supposed to calm the markets. It succeeded briefly, but details of how it would work — like the size of the rescue and the precise role of the I.M.F. — were left vague. Now investors are signaling a lack of faith in the ability of the European Union and the I.M.F. to coordinate any help.Continue reading the main story
"The E.U. hasn't gotten that far in coming up with an aid mechanism," said Eric Fine, an emerging markets portfolio manager with Van Eck Global in New York.
The sell-off on Tuesday was spurred by reports, later denied, that Greece was seeking to renegotiate the terms of the rescue deal.
A spokeswoman for the Greek finance ministry, Filio Lanara, said Tuesday that Greece had taken "no action to change the terms of the agreement on mechanisms of support." Nor, she said, has Greece "sought to activate this mechanism."
I.M.F. officials are set to arrive in Athens on Wednesday to discuss the government's austerity measures and find ways to increase tax revenue.
At one point Tuesday, the yield on Greek debt climbed past 7 percent — the highest since January — as investors sold Greek bonds. At the last Greek bond auction on March 29, when the country raised $6.7 billion, yields stood at 5.9 percent.
That auction was meant to show the world that investor confidence in Greece had returned, but it had the opposite effect because of weak demand from foreign investors. Local Greek banks were forced to buy much of the offering.
"It's becoming increasingly difficult to believe that Greece will be able to fund itself," said Michael Conelius, a portfolio manager at T. Rowe Price in Baltimore who specializes in emerging market debt.
When Greece returns to the market in May, it will probably have to pay much more than 5.9 percent.
Greece needs to raise more than $40 billion before the end of the year, so an additional 1 percent in interest would cost the Greek treasury an extra $400 million annually. That would put the nation's budget further out of whack and force even sharper austerity measures than it has committed to so far.
"If we don't see a concrete step, then we will enter a vicious cycle as financing costs get higher, making the debt look even more unsustainable," said Marco Annunziata, chief economist for UniCredit.
"The end game is an I.M.F. program, and the end game is getting closer."
That would be a humiliating step for Greece, which is among the 16 countries that share the euro currency.
The prospect of a default by Greece, however, is an even more worrisome prospect; fears of such an outcome drove down the euro Tuesday, to $1.3396 from $1.3486.
The yield on the Greek government's benchmark 10-year bond finished the day at 6.9 percent, after officials denied that they wanted new terms for any bailout.
The difference in yields between Greek bonds and comparable German bonds, a barometer of market confidence, rose to 3.73 percentage points from 3.37 points.
The Greek government has blamed speculators for its troubles, but long-term investors like Mr. Conelius are also losing faith, increasing the prospect that the I.M.F will have to act quickly and come up with a revised bailout package.
On Tuesday, he closed out his position on Greece, contributing to a consensus of lost confidence.
"I'd like nothing more than to see Greece do the right thing," he said.
"Greece needs to improve the plan."Continue reading the main story

We talk about forgiving because we've been instructed to do so by White authorities - White judges, White media, White Jesus. The same authorities guide us to direct what anger we can't suppress to the removal of the Confederate flag, instead of to the Roofs, the courts, the police, Fox new, the banks, and active racism where ever we find it.
We are to celebrate and feel powerful when an Alabama flag is lowered, although the schools-to-arrests-to-courts-to-prison-to-profits still fly high.
As per the direction of the authorities, discussions and debates about how we can and should protect ourselves from the Roofs or the police have been pushed aside.
We are to feel flag-down powerful while our appetites, habits, and money still funnel our futures to aliens who profit from our misery.
We are to feel flag-down-powerful instead of taking Denmark Vessey's example to use the church or any Black grouping for power to directly challenge oppression and to defend against other attacks.
We are to forgive, while the bullets are still flying.
Both the supposed moral high-ground of forgiving and the pseudo flag-down power are illusions that invite our delusion to dance.
Our delusion is a denial of reality - denying our awesome power, and the redemptive power of sacrifice. It is also an exaggerating White power. If we take the racist illusions' invitation, it means that we have surrendered and that we want to hide our surrender from ourselves by seeing forgiving and flag-down as powerful victories.
Such delusion is a bonanza for Europeans because it's cheaper to take a few flags down than to deploy the national guard, cheaper to forge illusions to contain us than to forge new iron shackles. It also generate more resistance from the oppressed.
We need NOT accept the invitation to dance. Without our participation, the illusion will fade.
We are powerful beyond measure. We have a spiritual power that defies the White image containers and religious dogmatic containers. We have an intellectual power that defies narrow definitions, allowing us to create and live 7 generations back and forward.
These powers - spiritual, intellectual, emotional strengthen our action against the evils of oppression, and reward our sacrifice.
Spirit doesn't fight for us; it strengthens us to fight, heal, and build.
They have spilled blood in Vessel's church. They have called him. He will come.
Our mothers, fathers, ancestors call to us.
Our children, whose lives are taken by the inches, cry for us to reject the illusions, and instead to fight, heal, and build for real power measured in how much of our lives we control, and how much of our future we determine.

Beware: There Are No Secrets Anymore
Two can keep a secret if one of them is dead. That old saying predates YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter: Today, two can keep a secret if one is dead, and the other hasn't been caught on a Smartphone video.
There's no such thing as a secret anymore: assume, if you have done something shady, unethical, or of questionable legality, you're going to get caught.
But – then what?
Most of the time, it's not the mistake or poor judgment that's the problem; it's the cover-up. When a lewd picture of Anthony Weiner appeared online, he denied all accusations and claimed he was a victim of a "Twitter hoax." "Somebody sent a wiener from Weiner's account. I've been hearing that joke since I was five." Ever the punch line! He never anticipated that the truth would come out. But in this day and age, it ALWAYS will.
Before constant connectivity and instant news, you could swear people to secrecy, threaten them, cover up mistakes, and flat out lie. You can't get away with that anymore. There is always someone who will slip an email to a reporter, leak a confidential memo, or upload a video. The attempt to cover up the original mistake takes on a life of its own. That becomes the story.
Want To Hire Mike As Your Coach?
Mike Harden is an executive coach based in the DC area, serving Washington, Northern Virginia and Maryland. Contact him today to learn more.
What's the best course of action?
Know that, at some point, your action and initial response could end up on the cover of the Wall Street Journal , YouTube, or Twitter. It will come out. We dig the hole deeper and deeper by lying, and we extend the shelf life of scandal and crisis.
Fess up. "I did it." As Mayor Rob Ford said, eventually. "I'm only human."
Apologize sincerely. People do make mistakes – some much more spectacularly than others, but we are all only human. Admitting your error and saying "I'm sorry" can be incredibly powerful – if you mean it and commit to never repeating the misstep.
Take action. Prove that your apology is more than lip service to the public and media. What are you going to do to correct the mistake or to ensure it never happens again?
Enlist some help. If the error is "confined" – it's not going to land you on a Letterman Top Ten List – your management team or a coach can help you work through it, gain clarity, and figure out how to deal with it. If it is going to make the WSJ and beyond, you need to engage a firm that specializes in damage control so they can help you work out an effective strategy.
Ideally, you don't make a mistake of this caliber! If you do, admit it, learn from it, and, most importantly, do not do it again. If you're contrite and humble, people have a tendency to forgive you. Once. It's hard to play the humble "Sorry" card more than that.

Twilight Films –Breaks Box Office as it Travels From Books to Movie Screens
The twilight series motion pictures, like the publications which they are centered, are often mocked. But that is just simply because we're nonetheless, about some stage, turning into accustomed to the actual novelty of the extremely modern hit fable that's this rooted inside old-fashioned, borderline masochistic sexy romantic rapture. The motion picture edition associated with Over shadow, which consists of dueling boy-monster hunks: a chaste orgy associated with male searching — revels inside energy that runs into offering their self towards the powerlessness of love. The particular movie is focused on any girl's primal imagination becoming desired. That could be corny, but it's additionally an essential antidote to summer season time-movie hardware.
Twilight fever is showing absolutely no outward exhibition regarding abatement using the film's next payment. Actually, followers from the series seem much more juiced upward than usual. The actual movie produced a lot more than $$ 30 million from your evening shows Thursday in above 4,000 theaters across The USA. This particular estimate is higher than the first sort nighttime record owner, the actual Twilight Fable: Fresh Silent celestial body, which usually acquired $26.Three zillion previous Nov, and after this supports the brand new market record since largest evening yucky actually. The movie – starring Billy has brought the largest USA launch ever, bowing inside 4,408 theaters upon Wednesday. Twenty-nine more movie theaters are going to be extra through Friday for a sum of 4,437.
New moon signifies the very first Twilight film to obtain a summertime opening, a choice in which seems to turn out to be actively playing out there incredibly nicely for Peak Amusement. This is truly one big hit movie on screen!

She said the regulator, along with companies and investors, needed to do more work on sustainability reporting including on whether, when, where, and how to provide disclosure and what precisely should be provided. She noted that this area had greater complexity than normal financial reporting because of issues such as the longer term horizon that might be needed when considering risks such as climate change and the broad range of topics that could pose risk to a company such as resource scarcity, corporate social responsibility, and good corporate citizenship.
Despite the complexity White said that in 2015, 75% of the S&P 500 companies published a sustainability or corporate responsibility report and over 90% of the world's 250 largest companies did so. A number of organisations have also published useful guidelines or are developing sustainability disclosure frameworks and metrics White said. The GRI Sustainability Framework, for example, is now being widely used by companies to prepare their sustainability reports, she added.
White noted that currently, disclosure of sustainability information under SEC rules is being addressed by a combination of our materiality-based approach to disclosure, guidance on certain issues, and shareholder engagement on a range of sustainability topics, whether through direct dialogue with management or the shareholder proposal process. However, she accepted that many believe that the current materiality-based approach is not adequate and said is why the SEC was consulting on this in its recent Regulation S-K Concept Release and had asked for views from investors and others on whether the SEC should consider line-item disclosure on certain issues. The deadline for responses is the 21st July and White requested investors to share their perspectives and give the SEC input on whether changes were needed, and if so, what specifically should be changed.
White said, "The issue has our attention. But disclosure alone will not achieve the ultimate results many investors and other constituents are seeking.
"And so I urge investors who are seeking to alter corporate behaviour on sustainability to continue to use your stewardship and influence to bring about the strategic, supply chain and business model changes you think need to be made by companies to address the underlying risks and priorities. Encourage and prod companies to acknowledge sustainability objectives that are in line with what makes the most sense for their businesses, demand that they describe what they are doing to achieve those objectives and how they are doing against your expectations.
"We at the SEC will continue to closely monitor developments and to engage with investors and others as we review and enhance our current rules to fulfil our obligation to investors to provide them with the information they need to make investment and voting decisions in today's world."
White's speech also noted that corporate governance in the US is not subject to a single code as in many other countries but is generally the domain of each of our fifty states under their corporate law. The SEC, she said, had an impact on corporate governance through its disclosure powers – requiring public companies to provide investors with the information they need to make informed investment and voting decisions. However, recent legislation – under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Act has provided more country-wide rules on audit committee membership executive pay, for example. At the same time shareholder engagement, which she has encouraged, has increased White said.
The SEC chair also announced that there would be a recommendation by SEC staff for an amendment of an existing rule on board diversity. Currently the rule, adopted in 2009, requires companies to disclose whether, and if so, how their nominating committees consider diversity and, if they have a policy on diversity, how its effectiveness is assessed. However, the new amendment will require companies to include in their proxy statements more meaningful board diversity disclosures on their board members and nominees where that information is voluntarily self-reported by directors.

Compensation, Work Hours and Benefits: Proceedings of the New York 57th Annual Conference on Labor
Compensation, Work Hours and Benefits: Proceedings of the New York 57th Annual Conference on Labor
Each year, the New York University Annual Conference on Labor calls on outstanding scholars and practitioners in the field to come together to survey and analyse new developments and trends in U.S. labor law and practice. Reproduced here are papers delivered at the 2004 conference, the 57th in this venerable and highly influential series, with other articles either reprinted from earlier publications or written for this volume. The theme of the 2004 Conference was "Compensation, Work Hours, and Benefits."
The broad range of contexts in which compensation, work hours, and benefits issues and disputes arise is clearly on display in the many relevant aspects with which the authors engage. These issues are gathered into nine categories as follows:
- problems in ensuring acceptable compensation and work conditions in a global economy;
- attempts by states and municipalities to implement living wage measures and the potential conflict between such attempts and the doctrine of private labor law preemption;
- the possible demise of traditional pension benefits;
- recent workplace developments arising in response to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA);
- the legality of policies surrounding attempts to keep workers' pay secret;
- special compensation claims typically found in securities industry arbitration;
- state protections for non-salary forms of compensation;
- regulation of multiemployer benefit plans by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA); and
- compensation, work hours and benefits issues with regard to multinational organizations.
As always, this important annual publication offers definitive current scholarship in its theme area of labor and employment law. As such, it will be of inestimable value to practitioners, government officials, academics, and others interested in developments in U.S. employment and labor relations law and practice.
