Funding row over domestic violence alarm
At the press of a button, domestic violence victims can alert the emergency services when in fear of attack. The Government's B-safe program has provided comfort to many who have recently trialled the alarm in Victoria. But already, the program looks set to fall through due to lack of funding.
CHRIS UHLMANN, PRESENTER: A personal alarm system for domestic violence victims is to be scrapped for lack of money. Known as B-Safe, and similar to medical alerts that call emergency help with the press of a button, the federally-funded scheme has been successfully trialled in Victoria.
But as Kerri Ritchie reports, the $125,000-a-year program ends today.
ANONYMOUS WOMAN: He was always driving by, the phone calls, coming to our house.
KERRI RITCHIE, REPORTER: This Victorian woman, whom who can't be identified for legal reasons, stayed with her abusive husband for nine years.
ANONYMOUS WOMAN: When I was in Queensland I had patrol tipped over me. And he chased me with the lighter. There's the knives - he always loved playing with the knives. Whatever's handy. I've had dogs set on to my face. All sorts of stuff. Just cruel.
KERRI RITCHIE: She says she finally left her ex-husband when he began grooming one of their children to be an abuser.
ANONYMOUS WOMAN: One of the children did actually punch me, then he gave him a knife and told him to stab me, which he refused to do. And that's when I decided I don't care where we end up or what happens, I have to get these kids out of here.
KERRI RITCHIE: The woman fled to a refuge where she heard about a new device called B-Safe being offered to others in north-eastern Victoria with intervention orders out against their former partners.
RACHAEL MACKAY, B-SAFE PROJECT OFFICER: The concept for B-Safe in a practical sense has just been so simple. We just applied the technology used to keep elderly people safe and independent in their own homes, and we applied that technology to women and children escaping family violence.
KERRI RITCHIE: Rachael Mackay, a B-Safe project officer based in regional Victoria, says if a woman's ex-partner turns up, she only has to push a single button which alerts a call centre. Phone operators then ring 000, giving police all the woman's details.
ANONYMOUS WOMAN: There was one Christmas and he - I'd just put the kids to bed and he'd come to the window and he was questioning me about who had been there. And so I knew he'd been watching us for a while, but I activated the kit, and it makes a beeping sound, so he heard that. The kids were up by this stage and told him that I'd set off the alarm. After some swearing and cursing, but he left pretty quickly.
KERRI RITCHIE: When the alarm is activated, the kits also start recording sound so the women have proof their violent ex-partner has breached the intervention order. 72 women in Victoria and more than 140 of their children have come to rely on the alarms in the past three years.
RACHAEL MACKAY: It's reduced breaches of intervention orders. It's actually reduced physical assaults against more than half of the 72 women. None of the children have been assaulted during that three-year period.
KERRI RITCHIE: Last year B-Safe won a national crime prevention award and other states and other countries came calling. But from today, the B-Safe kits will no longer be available. Rachael Mackay now has the unenviable task of taking the kits off the women, because neither the Victorian or federal governments will fund the $125,000-a-year program.
RACHAEL MACKAY: One woman, I could literally feel her breath over the phone. She just gasped to me. I had to say to her, "Look, we can keep you on until August," and she sort of heaved a sigh of relief. It's horrific. My job is horrific.
'REBECCA': I'm very scared and very sad. I don't want my kids to go back to how they were. They were starting to relax and be happy, as kids should be. For them to have to start worrying again and listening out will be very difficult.
KERRI RITCHIE: Rebecca lives in a small Victorian town. To protect her safety, we've changed her name and voice. Her relationship ended several years ago, but her nightmare is ongoing. Before she got a B-Safe kit, her ex-partner broke into her home, raped her and threatened her with a rifle.
'REBECCA': He tried to shoot me. I think it was just pure lucky that I managed to escape that incident. You get to a stage that you get so put down and so, I guess, lost, that you don't really care anymore if you don't get killed. But I had to make sure the kids were safe.
KERRI RITCHIE: It's a dangerous time for Rebecca because her case is about to go through the Family Court. She's dreading the day when she has to hand back her B-Safe kit.
'REBECCA': The kids were at a point where they were self-harming so they were so scared whether he would turn up or not. They were so scared of seeing him. Everything from bashing their heads on walls and their fists to trying to strangle or stab themselves. They soiled themselves. It's an ongoing problem with incontinence. That's the only way their body knows how to respond to any stress or fear.
SUSIE REID, WOMEN'S HEALTH, GOULBURN NORTH EAST: We've proved that using B-Safe can cost a third of what it is to move a woman and children out of their home into a refuge and into new housing. So it's cost-effective, it's award-winning and we still can't find funding.
KERRI RITCHIE: In a statement, the Victorian Government says,"... this program was a Commonwealth funded program which they decided not to continue funding ...". A statement from federal Justice Minister Brendan O'Connor says funding was provided for a three-year trial and that, "... funding ceased earlier this year, in accordance with the terms of the grant. "
SUSIE REID: Crime prevention begins at home. It is the Government's responsibility to fund B-Safe. They haven't come up with one reason why it can't be funded except for money. They can spend $14,000,000 over four years for graffiti prevention and clean up.
ANONYMOUS WOMAN: The other day I saw there was another death due to domestic violence. And the reality is that if they don't get behind this program, every death after that is going to be on their hands. Because this is the solution.
KERRI RITCHIE: How will things change when B-Safe ends?
ANONYMOUS WOMAN: I guess my nightmares will come back more than what they do now.
CHRIS UHLMANN: Kerri Ritchie with that report.

Fallen Angel.
I did the two things in all of angel history that I was not supposed to. I exposed myself to a mortal and I fell in love. I couldn't help it. As an angel, they expect you to love all humans not just one individual. That was my error. I put her before everyone else. I put her before myself. I put her before God. My own father. How could I? I should be thinking that that's the last thing I, a loyal angel, would do. But it was easy. Her lips. Her eyes. Her hands. Her ears. Her laugh. Everything about this girl, Celestial gave me the electrifying feeling through my spine that I wasn't supposed to experience during all my existence. I still remember the very first time I saw her.
I had been assigned as her guardian angel. The one to protect her from harm and lead her into the right path. How could I do that, if I don't know what the right path is?
I had watched her grow older from a distance. I had been there when her parents had divorced. When she got in to fights with her friends. And the very worst part; when she fell with a guy who broke her heart. Each time I would want to reveal myself and talk to this guy. No, talk isn't the right word. I wanted to fight him. I wanted to hurt him as much as he had hurt her. And I wanted to be there for her. I didn't do any of that though. I stood from a distance like my father had asked. But one day, I just couldn't anymore.
She was walking home. She was passing a dark alley, when two men came along. They followed her until they knew she would be trapped. Then they attacked. They tried to take off her clothes. I could hear her yelling for help. Crying. But I knew. I knew that nobody was there to hear her. When one of them hit her for yelling, that's when I couldn't take it anymore. Every part of me told me to stay put. Whatever happens happens. But I couldn't do that.. I raced over toward her, revealing myself. I took the man who had hit her and I hit him back. Not just an ordinary human hit. And angel hit. One of those and you're passed out for the night. I did the same to the one who had been taking of her clothes. I was so strong; I saw the look on her face. She was terrified. She asked me who I was, how I did that and every other question that could come to mind. I couldn't lie to her. I told her everything. She tried to run, but I didn't let her. I was faster than her and she knew it. She knew what I was to, but she couldn't accept it. She tried to run again. I let her go. I shouldn't have though. I should have run after her. I know that now.
I stayed away the next day. And the day after that. But then it hit me. I had to let her get to know me. I had never been good at socializing though. To think after all those centuries, I would know how to say hi to a pretty girl.
One night, when she was alone, I came inside her house, without her knowing. She had been sleeping already. I lied down next to her and wrapped my whole body around her. He back was towards me, but when I held her she turned around. She didn't say a word. She then looked at my lips. I knew that when girls look at men's lips they wanted a kiss. I slowly leaned in closer. I knew what I was doing was wrong. She knew too. She knew everything I did. I told her everything. We didn't care. We leaned in closer and closer until our lips were hardly inches away. Then we stopped. We looked in to each other's eyes. I saw fear. She didn't know what was happening. I didn't want her to be scared of me. I leaned towards her ear and I whispered to her. I told her I loved her. I told her I wouldn't break her heart like the rest. I told her not to be frightened. The she kissed me. I swear, my heart was beating so fast I knew she could hear it too. I had butterflies up and down my spine. That electrifying feeling was back. And in that moment, everything was perfect and I was content. All that guilt for breaking the law; it was gone. With one kiss, everything changed. And not only mentally. I thought it was just the butterflies at first, but then it got worst. My back was aching. I let out a moan of pain. She tried to help. I knew there was nothing she could do. I knew what was happening. I could feel my wings being taken from my back. It felt like hell. Literally. I was burning. My wings were burning and now Celestial could see it to. I let out another moan. Then another. Then, finally, it stopped. My wings were gone and I was human. I could still hear my father's voice. You betrayed me, son. You broke the rules and now you pay.
Just a little story that came to mind. Not my best, but i think it's cute :) Tell me what you think. :)

So Much More
JOHNSON'S®:Sensorial Experiences To Enhance Those Moments That Nurture Healthy Baby Development
At JOHNSON'S®, we believe that every baby deserves more. More opportunities for skin-to-skin touch. More bonding time. More sensory stimulation. More healthy development.
Emerging research reveals that routine touch and massage by a parent or loving caregiver is critical to a baby's growth and development, communication and learning. The JOHNSON'S® Brand is at the forefront, sharing the importance of enhanced daily care rituals that help your loving touch gently stimulate your baby's senses and nurture his developing mind.
Studies have shown that routine touch and massage can lead to improved physiological, cognitive, emotional and social development. Specifically, routine baby massage has been shown to improve cognitive performance and increase alertness and attentiveness. Your baby's first emotional bonds are built from physical contact, and these serve as the foundation for emotional and intellectual development later in life. We believe this to be truly special.
Your baby is able to smell before he's even born - about 28 weeks into pregnancy! Enjoyable and familiar scents have been proven to improve mood, calmness and alertness, and the scent of a mother can help reduce crying. Additionally, scent is important from day 1 because newborns use the sense of smell to familiarize themselves more than any other sense.
With JOHNSON'S®, Bath Time Can Be...So Much More
While some believe a bath is just a time to clean your baby, at JOHNSON'S®, we believe bathtime is a time for more. It is a time for more bonding, more learning, and more sensory stimulation, which means engaging your baby's senses through sight, touch, sound, and smell. Bathtime, both cleansing and massage, can offer a multi-sensory playground where parents and babies have the opportunity to not only bond but also discover, together.
- Playing with bubbles can help your baby develop hand-eye coordination and discover that objects exist even when they can't be seen.
- Playing music and singing songs during bathtime can stimulate parts of the brain responsible for memory, while playing certain types of music can stimulate parts of the brain responsible for visual imagery.
- Talking back and forth to your baby during bathtime can help with language development. Studies show infants who are spoken with more have larger vocabularies by 24 months of age. Bathtime is a perfect time to talk back and forth with your baby!
- Even splashing in the water during bathtime can be a discovery experience! It can help teach your baby about cause-and-effect.
- Studies have shown that babies bathed with a fragranced bath product (compared to those who were not) displayed 30% more engagement cues with their parent after bath.
- Routine massage before or after bathtime is a perfect opportunity for skin-to-skin touch. Routine massage has been shown to improve a baby's sleep quality, and quantity as part of a bedtime routine. Massage is a perfect time for you to introduce words like head, shoulder, knees, toes, fingers, and nose!

Most of the time when a show is very chaotic it's hard to follow the route of the show. In True Detective's case, however, its chaotic nature is what makes the show the gold that it is for HBO. In essence, our two central characters are both assholes. The only difference between the two is that Marty is a plain and simple asshole, but Rust is a very different kind of asshole. In the last episode, we were fully exposed to level of unreliability that Rust and Marty deliver as narrators. Separating fact from fiction was a true task in episode 5. As I watched episode 6 this week, I realized that I'm still not entirely sure what is fact and fiction. I've decided to organize this review in a slightly different way then, by attempting to sort out the fact vs fiction elements of Marty and Rust's lies. Depending on your ability to read between the lines, you should be able to figure out a little bit about episode 6.
Lie 1: Marty is truly sorry for his affair.
Marty's early justification for his philandering was not only frustrating, but extremely hypocritical on his part. While he justified it by the horrors he saw at work, he paid not a single thought to what his wife was doing. The only sorrow that Marty ever encountered was that he was caught.
Lie 2: Rust has adjusted to his surroundings.
While this was never outright said, it has been assumed over our expanded understanding of Rust that he is semi adjusted to his peers. Rust is more like a ticking time bomb of an observer (He's not bald though, Fringe fans). All it's going to take is something to set him off. It's going to come from the exact opposite place you'd expect.
Lie 3: The murder of Dorothy Lange is a closed case.
This one seems like it should be completely obvious, given the obscure ending to the last episode, but expect some more questioning. The detective style of this series has been extremely different from any other series on TV. Rather than focus on the case, it shows the case through the effects that it has on people. Given that our narrators often fake emotions and lie to us, this can be a little vague at times. While this makes for much more interesting TV, it can sometimes make the story a little tough to follow.
Lie 4: Marty's affair and his wife's attempt at forgiveness has given him perspective.
I don't think I'm spoiling anything when I say that Marty is going to get a taste of his own medicine in this episode. It really sets up for Marty and Rust's impending "incident" well. (Not that incident, Lost fans). Also, for the keen-eyed, the incident is foreshadowed very early in the episode. If you're a huge fan of True Detective, this is the episode you have been wondering about since day one.
By the end of this episode, we will lose the basis for the story thus far in a way, but gain a new perspective. While this is a little worrisome given the mass amount of success that the current system has provided, it speaks wonders to the guts of writers to try new things. It's transition is not to be missed. With only 2 episodes left, the finale could end up in the future, the past, or… who knows, it could be both?
Grade: 9.4/10
Tune in to True Detective on January 12 on HBO. Be sure to come back here to SpoilerTV to let everyone else know what you thought of the episode.

>> THE MODELIZER —Agyness Deyn recently prompted rumors of retirement when she said of Fashion Week: "I do like doing it. But you know when you kind of have it figured out in your head that you don't want to do this forever?" And it didn't help that days of runway shows passed, and no sign of Agy . . . until this evening. She did both opening and closing honors at Anna Sui Fall 2009, "skipping down the runway" at the end of the show. [BunnyBisous Twitter, CarolHan Twitter]

On Leonard Cohen
"So come, my friends, be not afraid.
We are so lightly here.
It is in love that we are made;
In love we disappear."
Happy posthumous birthday, Lenny.
You tried, in your way, to be free. Thank you. Now go join that great gig in the sky. So I wrote a year ago, when Lenny left us. However, the legend lives on - listen for example to How the Light Gets In.
'We Love Leonard Cohen' celebrated his 81st Birthday, and then, for his 82nd and final birthday, Leonard gave us a present. "You Want It Darker" is the title track to last album, his 14th studio album in his 49-year recording career. (See also Leonard Cohen Makes it Darker.)
"Leonard Cohen offers the possibility of living with grace, dignity, and integrity, without submitting to illusions, without succumbing to indifference, and without indulging in denial of our own failures and flaws, in a world that is too often corrupt and malevolent" - Allan Showalter
On Freedom
The Wikileaks saga presented a dilemma around freedom and transparency vs. security. I was initially rather gung ho in supporting the march towards transparency, even signing an Avaaz online petition in defending Wikileaks, which I promptly withdrew from my Facebook profile after being flamed by someone whom I had no wish to upset, nor to engage with in a debate about the the finer points of freedom as they might look to people outside e.g. the U.S. In any case, as time has gone on I've become increasingly convinced that this is a very nuanced debate. For example, the "Open Source revolution" is led by an ex-CIA agent who trained more than 66 countries in open source methods and who calls for re-invention of intelligence.
What Happened? - Africa
Please see below selected pre-2016 intelligence about Africa. This is a synthesis of major recent developments at corporates, business schools, thinktanks, media, commentators, and other key influencers.
- The "Africa Rising" narrative gained momentum around 2010. As is the way with these things, it arrived about a decade late - and just as things were about to go pear-shaped. Investors, hungry for yield, alighted on the only continent where living standards had not yet visibly begun to converge on those in the west. Their bet was that Africa had turned a corner. Were they wrong? These days, the mood has darkened. Nigeria and South Africa, which account for half of sub-Saharan Africa's gross domestic product, are at or close to recession. Nigeria has squandered its oil boom. Long-sluggish South Africa has failed to meet the pent-up expectations of its black majority. The hopes of other resource-rich countries — including Angola, Mozambique and Zambia — have faded along with commodity prices. A flawed election in Uganda, plus a cavalcade of leaders clinging grimly on to power, from Zimbabwe to Burundi, undermine the idea that governance is on the mend. Those who helped change the Africa narrative, however, are sticking to the script. Among the true believers is the consultancy McKinsey, whose 2010 "Lions on the Move" report did much to feed the original story. This week it published a follow-up . Call it "Africa Rising: The Sequel".
- South Africa's economy grew by an annualised 3.3% in the second quarter, the fastest pace since late 2014. In the first three months of the year GDP contracted by 1.2%, leading to fears of recession, but mining, the mainstay of the economy, has since rebounded. #SouthAfrica: Consumer inflation slowed to 5.9% year on year in August, from the 6% reported for July.
- India's vice president vies for influence in West Africa. Hamid Ansari is finishing a trip to Nigeria before embarking on the first high-level Indian visit to Mali in history. India has been touting itself as a preferable alternative to China for foreign investment in Africa, promoting its long history in the region and the potential for mutual benefits.
December 2015
- The sixth Forum on China–Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), held on 4–5 December 2015, set in motion a deeper pattern of exchanges with its partners that could drive economic transformation across the continent. In 'scaling-up' measures to ease African bottlenecks in infrastructure, skills and finance. China is already a leader in investing and financing infrastructure in developing countries, with an estimate that China financed US$13.4 billion of African infrastructure in 2013. This sum surpassed the total financing provided by European and North American countries combined, as well as that of all multilateral and regional development banks.
- As access to the internet is growing, so are cyber ]crime rates in Africa where businesses and governments are starting to face a new type of threat for which few are currently prepared. Statistics show that 298 million people in Africa are active internet users, nearly 30% of the total population, a number expected to grow as internet penetration continues to improve in towns and rural areas. The financial sector is by far the most vulnerable sector. For example, every year Kenya's Commercial Bank loses $9.4 million to cyber perpetrated fraud. Resulting not only in economic loss but also affecting brand image and market reputation, there is a significant need for corporate entities to recognise these cyber threats and develop incident response strategies.

What Happened? - Work
Please see below selected pre-2016 intelligence about work. This is a synthesis of major recent developments at corporates, business schools, thinktanks, media, commentators, and other key influencers in our external environment.
December 2015
- Will robots replace people at work? Rapid advances in technology, from big data to artificial intelligence, are revolutionising the way we work and businesses are keen to capitalise on resulting efficiency gains. Raconteur's latest report explored workplaces of the future, including the impact of virtual reality and wearable technology, gamification in the recruitment process, the rise of the freelance economy and top business technology trends for 2016.
- According to Project Syndicate, in the Middle East, half of those aged 18-25 are either unemployed or underemployed. Aggravating this situation is the global refugee crisis, which has displaced some 30 million children, six million from Syria alone, very few of whom are likely to return home during their school-age years.
- Will computers take your job? According to a new book by a financial journalist, they'll take the "cognitive" work but not the "interaction jobs". For a long time to come, those positions will need real people with "authentic empathy". Many people get a buzz from collaborating with other people, and computers can't replace that. New socioeconomic value, 'Humans are Underrated" argues, could therefore derive from innate human skill at engaging with others – collaborating, bonding, creating, caring and giving.
- A new book, The Refusal of Work, argues that the time has to come to challenge the work-centred nature of society. The author, David Frayne, an academic who looks at consumerism and radical approaches to work, describes the powerful view that jobs are an expression of our creativity and selves. There is for some, a religious devotion to work. He writes: "Gratifying work is a fantasy that we have all been trained to invest in, ever since our teachers and parents asked us what we wanted to 'be' when we grew up." Moreover, he argues that "those activities and relationships that cannot be defended in terms of economic contribution are being devalued and neglected". How different this is from economist John Maynard Keynes's prediction in 1930 that in 100 years we would devote most of our week to leisure.
- Real estate billionaire Jeff Greene warned that technology will kill white-collar jobs. He says new forms of technology will only exacerbate the growing gap between the rich and the poor, because, he claims, we have left ourselves unprepared for the inevitable automation of many jobs traditionally done by humans. He said: "What globalisation did to blue collar jobs and the working class economy over the past 30 or 40 years, big data, artificial intelligence and robotics will do to the white collar economy - and at a much, much faster pace."
- Meanwhile, Finland's government is drawing up plans to give every one of its citizens a basic income of 800 euros a month and scrap benefits altogether. A poll commissioned by the agency planning the proposal, the Finnish Social Insurance Institute, showed 69% supported the basic income plan.
What's Happening? - Economics
Please see below selected recent economics-related intelligence. This is a synthesis of major recent developments at corporates, business schools, thinktanks, media, commentators, and other key influencers.
Q3 (July-August-September) 2016
June 2016
- PwC's Economics team launched its monthly Global Economy Watch for June. This month, PwC economists indicate that productivity growth in Ireland and Spain – the top performing peripheraleconomies in the Eurozone – has outstripped that in Germany, France and the Netherlands. But sectoral fortunes have been mixed, with PwC analysis showing that in several Eurozone economies, productivity in the manufacturing sector has grown at a relatively rapid rate. Meanwhile, figures reveal that the eurozone economy grew faster than the US in the first quarter of 2016. But PwC analysis shows that the economic - and to a greater extent, the labour market - recovery has been uneven. For example, the range of unemployment rates in the eurozone at this stage of the recovery is the highest it has ever been compared to past recoveries.
- The World Bank then concurred: global growth will fall to just 2.4% this year, as the world economy is dragged down by weak advancing economies, persistently low commodity prices and subdued global trade, according to its latest health check on the global economy. The bank delivered a substantial downgrade to global GDP, from an earlier forecast of 2.9% made in January, and warned of the threat of rising private debt levels in the emerging world.
- The United Nations cut its global growth forecast for 2016 to 2.4% from its forecast 2.9% in December; however it is attributed largely to the downward revisions for Africa. Global growth is projected to rise marginally to 2.8% in 2017, remaining below pre-crisis trends. The protracted period of slow productivity growth and weak investment weigh on the longer-term potential of the global economy.
- In its latest twice yearly global assessment, the OECD warned that the world economy is "stuck in a low-growth trap". The organisation said monetary policy alone could no longer be relied on to deliver growth and governments should be using the fiscal tools at their disposal, such as increases in investment spending, to stimulate demand. It also pointed to several downside risks to global growth, the most immediate of which would be if Britain votes to leave the European Union in a referendum on June 23rd.

Please see below selected recent intelligence about EY.
July-August-September 2016
- EY is to launch a next-gen predictive analytics hub to help consumer products and retail companies unlock growth. EY announced the launch of its Commercial Analytics Services Hub (EY CASH). This cloud-based analytics platform helps consumer products and retail (CPR) companies accelerate growth by predicting consumer choice to inform key decisions.
- Society Consulting, a US-based analytics and big data consulting firm based in Seattle, has joined the US affiliate of Ernst & Young. Society Consulting provides services across the areas of web development, dynamic content strategy, content management, personalization, segmentation and campaign execution. This adds to EY's other recent digital services acquisitions that includes Seren, NorthPoint Digital, Intuitive Company, Bedrock Consultants, Bluestone Consulting and C3. EY
- EY and OpenText formed a strategic alliance to deliver enhanced enterprise information management approaches. EY announces a strategic alliance with OpenText, a global leader in enterprise information management (EIM).
- Big companies and their outside auditors often have close professional relationships. But now, for the first time, US regulators have taken enforcement action over relationships that became a little too close: it has fined professional services firm Ernst & Young $9.3m for failures including an auditor's romantic involvement with a client. Investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission have found that a senior EY partner involved in the audit of a New York-based public company forged an improperly close friendship with the company's chief financial officer and spent more than $100,000 on corporate entertainment for the executive. Another partner on the team who was auditing a different public company became romantically involved with its chief accounting officer.
- EY announced a new Global Deputy Vice Chair of Advisory Services, Errol Gardner.
- Meanwhile EY promoted 714 new partners worldwide.
June 2016
- EY launches legal offering in Chile and Argentina and hired a partner from Norton Rose Fulbright in Toronto to lead its Canadian business law team. The accountant has hired Jorge Garnier from Argentine power company Genneia, where he was senior legal counsel, as an executive director to build a team focusing on corporate law.
- EY appointed Andy Baldwin as area managing partner for its Europe, Middle East, India and Africa practices, which include more than 102,000 people across 99 countries. Baldwin is currently the regional managing partner for EY's Financial Services Organisation in EMEIA & will assume his new role on July 1.
- In Ireland, EY announced plans to boost its 1800-strong workforce, adding 270 new jobs across its offices in Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Waterford and Galway. The firm said growth is being fuelled by high demand for cybersecurity and fraud investigation services. 220 of the new jobs will be for experienced hires, with another 50 coming from an increased graduate intake in September. EY has grown its business in Ireland by 16% every year over the past three years, and its workforce has increased by a quarter since 2014.
- In Japan, more than 30 companies have decided to terminate their contracts with Ernst & Young ShinNihon since the accounting firm was punished by authorities in December for signing off on Toshiba's books.
What's Happening? - Diversity
Please see below selected recent intelligence about diversity. This is a synthesis of major recent developments at corporates business schools, thinktanks, media, commentators, and other key influencers.
October 2016
- Does the gender of executives make a difference to business performance, asked the Financial Times? The evidence is mounting that it does, claimed the FT. In some developing economies, women are joining the top ranks of business management at the same pace as those in western countries. Click here to read more work and careers coverage.
June 2016
May 2016
- Investing in access to essential services and reducing the gap in labour-force participation rates could significantly expand the global economy by 2025. The McKinsey Global Institute's 'The power of parity: How advancing women's equality can add $12 trillion to global growth' report focused on the enormous potential associated with narrowing the gender gap, and found that if every country did so at the same historical rate as the fastest-improving country in its regional peer group, the world could add $12 trillion to annual gross domestic product in 2025. That's some 11% higher than it would be under the business-as-usual scenario.
- Bain & Company recently launched a study that asked more than 1,000 men and women in a mix of US companies two questions: "Do you aspire to top management within a large company?" and "Do you have the confidence you can reach top management?" Women with two years or less of work experience slightly led men in ambition. But for women who had more than two years on the job, aspiration and confidence plummeted 60% and nearly 50%, respectively. These declines came independent of marriage and motherhood status, and compared with much smaller changes for men, who experienced only a 10% dip in confidence.

Turing, Alan Mathison Turing was born in London June 23, 1912. Early in his life, he showed his interest in science and scientific genius was evident. In his early teens, he found the work of Einstein, who was very interested. Later, even Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton consultations extrapolated laws of motion. In 1931, he joined the King's College, University of Cambridge, where he concentrated on mathematics and reconstruct the work of other scientists
At one point, began to develop a digital computer called the "Turing machine." The key was to load the equipment properly and to perform tasks. He believed that an algorithm could be developed to solve any problem.
As usual, there is an additional layer of spam allegory here is just a convenient substitute for canned music discs (or maybe even the radio, I do not know) in the rooms. Remember: Even if you play guitar , write songs very sensitive, and it seems that many people can expressTo, the Turing test is the gold standard of artificial intelligence. In short, the idea is that if you can not tell if you are interacting with a computer or a man, a team has passed the test.
And while they are anomalies in the data is a very different problem of natural languageanlysis of misrepresentation, both projects are in the same direction: they require human behavior in an ambiguous position.

While Watson is a masterpiece of natural language processing, it is important to remember that only a learning tool to help solve problemsWhile more interesting than some people think that this shows that the test equipment you know, smart people Andor, Lanier worries that shows how we have degraded these concepts.

Question about the temperature sensitivity of Varget
I have a Savage 10BA which I bought last fall.
Up to now I've been shooting my handloads using range pickup brass with great success.
All my brass was once fired and separated by headstamp.
The brass was full length sized and had the primer pockets uniformed, flash holes deburred, trimmed to length, chamfered then weighed in .0.5gr lots by weight.
I then fire formed the brass in my rifle and started load development.
In both Winchester and Federal cases using 180gr SMK's I was able to achieve 0.5 moa accuracy using 40.9gr of Varget which I chronographed at 2550fps give or take.
This was in 40F weather.
Last week I bought a box of Lapua brass and did a ladder test along with 30 rounds of 40.9gr and 41.2gr which worked well for me in Win and FC brass.
The ambient temperature was 80F and at the max load in the Sierra manual which is 41.7gr I was only able to achieve 2390fps.
The ladder test seemed inconclusive. The first 4 rounds began stringing vertically then for some reason the next 3 rounds not only leveled off but had nearly identical velocity out of the chronograph which I can't explain why.
Is this due to the ambient temperature or more to do with case volume?
The weight of the Lapua brass is nearly identical to the FC brass and heavier than the Winchester brass by nearly 30gr.
Should I keep pushing the load till I see pressure signs and do another ladder test?

Rain Barrels: An Old Idea Made New Again
Rain barrels help conserve water and make your plants happier.
Residential irrigation can account for 40% of at-home water consumption in a city. This can be a problem, particularly in summer when water shortages are most likely as the majority of outdoor water use occurs. Capturing rainwater from your roof top is a smart way to lower your water bill, help lakes, streams and rivers and lessen pressure on municipal water supplies.
A rain barrel or cistern is collects rain from your rooftop. The rain barrel is positioned under the downspout of a building to collect the rain that falls on that building's roof to be used later for lawn and garden watering or washing cars or windows—activities that would normally use tap water.
Why use a rainbarrel?
- Rain barrels help decrease groundwater demand during the hot summer months, which means less water needs to be pumped, treated to drinking water standards and then pumped to households. Less pumping also means less electricity (for pumping) is used during critical summer periods. And, of course, saves you money on your water bill.
- Rain water is "soft" water, free of chlorine, fluoride, lime and calcium. Plants prefer the pH of rain water.
- Municipalities save on operating costs when less water is used, and in the long run it saves a great deal on infrastructure costs as this translates to fewer new wells, pumping stations and treatment facilities need to be built.
- Just one quarter inch of rainfall runoff from the average roof will fill a 55-gallon barrel. Attach a hose to the spigot or put your watering can under the spigot to use the water wherever you want.
- Collecting and using rainwater helps our lakes and streams, because stormwater would otherwise run off into the storm sewers, carrying with it pollutants such as oil, bacteria, nutrients and more directly to lakes and streams.
- When cities use less municipal water, the impact on the environment is reduced as well. Drawing water from an aquifer, lake or river faster than it is naturally regenerated can adversely affect every living creature in the area.

- If you don't have a model that uses a diverter, be sure to use a screen to keep mosquitoes, leaves and other debris out of the barrel and water.
- Use an overflow hose or other device to direct excess water away from house foundation when the barrel is full. Install a rain garden and direct overflow from your rain barrel and downspout to the rain garden.
- Monitor the barrel to ensure intakes and overflows aren't blocked and that it is not becoming a home for mosquitoes.
- Direct your home's downspouts to a grassy area away from your home's foundation if you don't have them directed to a rain barrel, rather than allowing storm water to flow to the street gutter.
- During the winter, make sure the rain barrel is drained and disconnected.
Water stored in a rain barrel or cistern is not potable, and should not be used as drinking water.
Rain Barrel Resources
Rain barrels are usually about 40-60 gallons. You can purchase commercially made ones, but many local groups sell them. You can also make your own if you have a barrel. The simple parts are available at any hardware store.

Kyrgyzstani journalist arrested by Uzbek border guards and freelance reporter forced to flee into exile
Read in russian
Reporters Without Borders today criticised the Uzbek government's "obstinate, determined and continual" efforts to harass the country's independent journalists and crush all dissident opinion.
It noted that Erkin Yakubjanov, a Kyrgyzstani journalism student in the southwestern city of Osh, was arrested on 18 July by border guards as he was investigating the 13 May crackdown on the rebellion in Andijan for the radio station network Dolina Mira. Freelance journalist Tulkin Karaev was also forced to flee the country on 2 July after systematic harassment by the authorities.
"Journalists who dare to mention the events in Andijan are subjected to a witchhunt," it said. "President Islam Karimov's refusal to meet an international (UN, EU and OSCE) fact-finding mission to discuss the rebellion shows that the regime wants to cover up the matter." It called on interior minister Zokirjon Almatov to free Yakubjanov at once and stop legal harassment of Karaev.
Yakubjanov had tried to interview border guards in Dustlik but they arrested him for allegedly not having permission to work in Uzbekistan and said they suspected he worked for the Uzbek service of Radio Ozodlik/Radio Free Europe. He was in fact on assignment for Dolina Mira as part of a project by the Danish media support group IMS about the Andijan repression and its consequences in the region.
Karaev, a freelance journalist working for the Institute for War and Peace Reporting (IWPR), was forced to flee into exile on 2 July after being harassed since the events in Andijan. His apartment in the southern town of Karshi was watched round the clock by police and he was arrested on 4 June and held without trial for 10 days.
His passport was confiscated and he was put under house arrest. He got his passport back on 23 June after appeals from several international organisations, including Reporters Without Borders.
Karaev's wife was contacted on 12 July by a person who said he had turned down a large bribe by the prosecutor in the southern region of Kashkadarya to provoke a row with Karaev, who was described as an "Islamist extremist." The informant refused the offer on grounds that he personally knew the journalist. The plan would have allowed the authorities to charge Karaev with hooliganism and put him in prison again.
Karaev worked for the Uzbek service of Radio Free Europe from 1998 to 2000 and more recently for the Uzbek service of Radio Iran and for IWPR, whose website (www.uznews.net) was forced to close down by the authorities after the crackdown in Andijan.

Pack Includes
- 2 X BF1000 Boom Stand
- SF1000 Snare Stand
- HF1000 Hi-Hat Stand
- PF1000 Bass Drum Pedal
BF1000 Boom Stand
The Falcon BF1000 is a premium cymbal stand with adjustable single point boom arm, stepless tilter, lockable quick release wing-nut and hide away boom arm. The adjuster has position markers to help you get the same set up time after time.
The boom arm positioning and adjustments are also simplified by using a single wing screw to make all of these important positioning decisions. The actual boom arm can also be secured into place by using a memory lock. With a simple pressing of a button, the OS Accentuator can be removed from the cymbal stem and the cymbal can be removed. The actual threading on the Accentuator is metal to prevent stripping and ensure durability. Additionally the cymbal stem has been made longer in length and knurled so for those clamping cowbells, tambourines and other percussion items, the positioning remains solid.
SF1000 Snare Stand
The SF1000 Mapex snare stand allows you to secure your snare drum quickly and easily and offers you precise positioning. It will always be safe and secure whilst you play and positioned at the required angle. The high-friction rubber feet with retractable spikes increase traction and prevent the stand from sliding on all surfaces.
HF1000 Hi-Hat Stand
The Falcon HF1000 Hi Hat Stand is ready for the road. Featuring extended height adjustment for more extreme set ups and specific footboard height adjustment, the HF1000 can be optimised to any player's preference. Other points include rubber feet with retractable spikes, removable swivel legs and adjustable tension for the most easy, smooth and reliable action.
PF1000 Drum Pedal
The new Falcon Bass Drum Pedal is designed to give drummers optimal adjustment, whilst always keeping the smoothest action possible. The self-adjusting hoop clamp pivots to match any bass drum angle, reducing stress on the hoop and keeping the base plate flat on the floor. The beater angle adjustment provides independent control of the beater position at rest and the length of the throw. A reduced base plate size allows for better snare stand and floor tom positioning.

Published: Sunday 15th February 2015 by The News Editor
Scott Marshall revealed Tim Sherwood's half-time pep talk inspired Aston Villa to the FA Cup quarter finals.
New manager Sherwood made an impromptu appearance during Villa's 2-1 win over Leicester with the score locked at 0-0.
Leandro Bacuna and Scott Sinclair then netted in the second half to send Villa into the last eight for the first time in five years.
Marshall, Villa's first-team coach, was in charge after Wednesday's sacking of Paul Lambert but admitted Sherwood made his presence felt on Sunday.
"He came in and made a couple of points to the lads, a couple of bits and pieces for everyone. I thought the boys delivered that in the second half and were very good," he said.
"He was there and there was good information to the group, there's a football knowledge there which comes with a lifetime in the game.
"He was in the dressing room before the game briefly, not a huge amount, but he introduced himself and wished the boys the best."
Sherwood did not have any input in the team selection but watched with chief executive Tom Fox after being appointed until 2018 on Saturday.
Marshall is keen to stay on at Villa, after being brought in by Lambert, and will speak to Sherwood about his future.
He said: "The focal point has been the game and preparing the players. I am sure the next few days will take care of itself. The group have been very professional.
"They have delivered on the pitch and showed a great spirit and togetherness. They know they are going to have to take it forward in a league campaign."
And Marshall admitted he had spoken to the axed Lambert ahead of the game at Villa Park.
"He gave me a bit of encouragement for the day and wanted the team to do well and that was it really," he added.
Andrej Kramaric scored in stoppage time to set up a nervy finish but the Leicester fans chanted 'what a load of rubbish' in the second half.
"People are entitled to their opinions, it doesn't matter what I think," boss Nigel Pearson said.
But with the Foxes out of the Cup and bottom of the Barclays Premier League the manager admitted they must improve.
He said: "We know we have a lot to do this season but what we have to do is find a way of being consistent.
"I never thought it would be easy but we're not making life easy for ourselves
"We need mental resilience, absolutely. With the players' technical ability they are only able to put on show if they have the mental qualities to do that.
"It's been suggested that it is easier to prepare against the bigger sides but I do not know. We have found ourselves in losing positions far too often."
