Our Story
Farming Runs In Our Family
Growing up on the family farm in Ashurst, West Sussex; Dave enjoyed helping his dad take care of their land and animals. In his early 20's he enjoyed a career as a chef, cooking in wonderful establishments like the Crown & Dial Post in the picturesque Sussex countryside.
With a keen interest in cooking meats, he explored the traditional processes of classical butchery, enjoying the art of curing and learning how to spice and season charcuterie to create delicious flavour profiles.
After studying alongside a local butcher, he opened Calcot Farm Produce in 2011, specialising in creative artisan cured meats, wholesome fresh cuts and a range of complementary products, unique to the farm and their high standards of animal welfare.

Fraunhofer UMSICHT Annual Report 2018/2019
Annual report published
A report for you about us, our products, services and our responsibility for the future: International cooperation in projects with Kuwait, Chile and Tunisia. Lead project »Combustion engine for the mobility of the future«. Electric scrap as a source of raw materials. Development of a framework for decentralized energy and process plants.
The total budget of Fraunhofer UMSICHT 2018 with 511 employees was 42.21 million euros.
Lead Project »Combustion Engine for the Mobility of the Future«
Here, the sustainable and economical production of high-quality advanced fuels is demonstrated using two processes developed at Fraunhofer UMSICHT in Sulzbach-Rosenberg. The raw materials used in the TCR® process (Thermo-Catalytic-Reforming) are residues such as sewage sludge or fermentation residues, in the Alcohols-to-Fuels process (A2F) the alcohols ethanol and methanol as well as acetone or isopropanol are used. As part of the lead project, about 50 liters of diesel and gasoline will be produced per process.
Electric scrap as a raw material source
With the iCycle® technology developed by UMSICHT, the recycling of electrical scrap is becoming much more lucrative and has meanwhile triggered great demand from all over the world. A metal concentrate containing, for example, gold, platinum, silver and copper is extracted from the shredder residues. High-tech metals such as tantalum and indium can also be recovered. The plastic from the composite materials is converted into fuels, i.e. gas or a diesel-like oil. The gas is burned to supply the process with energy. The oil can be used in engines to generate electrical energy and other heat.
Development of a framework for decentralized energy and process engineering plants
Fraunhofer UMSICHT offers users from industry a fully digital test environment in the future. Industrial companies can place their newly developed systems or components in our pilot plant and then digitally upgrade them with our help. This ranges from the digitization of a specific plant technology to cloud connection, fornt-end development and data engineering, to testing with virtual consumers or components from other manufacturers. Cooperation with our energy and process engineering experts and IT specialists opens up new possibilities - from optimization to the digital business model.

It's the biggest sporting event on the face of this planet. The Super Bowl has captivated the eyes of billions of people across the globe and, once again, the game has as many intricacies as a grass maze.
The Cardinals magical run through the playoffs comes to one final game against the physical Pittsburgh Steelers. Ken Whisenhunt's team was as good as dead a month ago, limping into the playoffs. Three games later, they land in Tampa with a world championship on the line.
Their remarkable run, led by future Hall of Famer Kurt Warner, will go down as one of the greatest postseason miracles in sports history. That's right…sports history.
Before each of the Cardinals playoff games, Vegas had taken the opposing team.
Atlanta, Carolina and Philadelphia were all favored to beat Arizona. So much for that happening.
And even now, the Cardinals go into the Super Bowl as underdogs.
Their final contest against the widely favored Steelers is just another roadblock for a team on a mission. Nobody, and I mean nobody, gave them a chance in these playoffs. And now look at them. They have a chance to etch their names in sports lore, and doing it with more doubters than Tim Tebow has as a future professional quarterback prospect.
They're on the brink of capturing the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Who would've ever thought that? I sure didn't.

Kentucky is known for its horse-racing, its bourbon - and of course, the finger-lickin' food choice of late-night runs nationwide. Abe Lincoln was born in the Bluegrass State, as were Muhammad Ali, George Clooney, Johnny Depp and Jennifer Lawrence.
Kentucky was where the nation's first cheeseburger was served, is home to Fort Knox, where billions in the nation's gold is stored.
Hmmm…cheeseburgers and gold: if those two things aren't enough to intrigue you, here are 20 other cool things to check out about the state.
"Take me out to the ballgame…" Or the next best thing. Tour the place where one of the most iconic tools of America's pasttime has been manufactured for 125 years. (Louisville)
Get up close to horses of all ages at this lovely facility that combines racing history, horse shows and many other equine-related activities in a beautiful setting. (Lexington)
It's actually two separate farm sites where Lincoln lived in his early life. You get a real taste of the hardscrabble influences that shaped the character of our 16th president. (Hodgenville)
It's called "the most exciting two minutes in sports" and takes place on the first Saturday in May. Whether you place a bet or not on this first leg of the Triple Crown, you'll enjoy the festivities - including ladies in crazy hats and those mint juleps. (Louisville)
This narrow pass that touches on parts of Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee is considered an early gateway to the West for adventurous explorers - including Daniel Boone.
"The Greatest" was a son of Kentucky, and this center showcases his amazing life, career and legacy. There are terrific interviews with him, not to mention, videos of his legendary bouts and more. (Louisville)
It's the longest-known cave system in the world, and there are tours that give you a glimpse into its massive tunnels and rooms. Above ground, there are fantastic trails perfect for hiking or biking.
It's the last authentic steamboat plying the waters of the Mississippi, and a National Historic Landmark. Since its launch in 1914, millions of people have enjoyed the old-timey charm on its cruises up and down the river. (Louisville)
It honors the site of Colonel Sanders' first restaurant, where "KFC" was originally created back in the 1940s (the franchises came later). Technically, it's a restaurant - but the vintage touches evoke a simpler (and tastier) time - and provide some fun photo ops. (Corbin)
"Kentucky" and "bourbon" are joined at the hip, so tour the distillery for this top-shelf spirit. It combines history, production of the bourbon and lots of interactivity. Naturally, there's a tasting involved, too. (Loretto)
No doubt about it - Abe traded up when he wooed and won this society gal. Her family home has been wonderfully restored, with terrific memorabilia and a tour that shows how she laid the groundwork for becoming a First Lady. (Lexington)
Who doesn't love a train? This cool museum showcases many vintage engines, but the real fun comes with their "specialty" excursions, like "Mystery Train" or "Dinner Train." There's even one that lets you experience a "Train Robbery." (New Haven)
Whlle Kentucky is famous for bourbon, it's becoming a hot destination for craft beer. In just a few years, well over a dozen well-regarded breweries have opened in the Bluegrass State. (Lexington area)
One of the coolest ways to explore this seven-mile cave system is via underground boat. It's pretty surreal, and a real crowd-pleaser, no even for the most jaded teenager or adult. Yeah - a boat. On a river. Under the ground. Cool! (Bowling Green)
This fascinating antebellum plantation incorporates both a glorious home and restored out-buildings, like an icehouse. It's a great way to glimpse life during a much different time. You can even enjoy a High Tea in one of the mansion's elegant sitting rooms. (Lexington)
This "concept" sports car has been a fixture on American roads since 1953. Get a closer look through this popular museum that showcases how they're made, rare versions of the car and much more. (Bowling Green)
In parts of the state, elk have come back in a big way; some areas are as rich with these magnificent creatures as you'd find in the Rockies. Guided tours give you an excellent chance at spotting them.
As far back as the 1870s, it was known as "the cabinet of curiosities" - and this acclaimed center has lost none of its ability to inspire. There are plenty of hands-on exhibits, movies and more to engage curious minds of all ages. (Louisville)
Spend some time with an amazing variety of aquatic critters, from sharks and jellyfish, to otters, turtles and much more. The displays are pretty impressive, and they offer some fun specialty events, too, like a "Mermaid Ball." (Newport)
Nothing says "cozy" like a quilt - but beyond warmth, this incredible place showcases the intricate art that goes into making one. Displays feature quilts from around the world and more. You'll never look at one the same way again. (Paducah)

State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) have made steady progress in the use of data and information systems to manage transportation assets. Advances in data acquisition, management, and reporting tools and technologies are enabling more automated, efficient, and integrated flows of data across systems and more agile and effective ways of delivering information needs to end users.
DOTs have strong incentives to take advantage of these advances; they face growing expectations from the public, increasing demand for transparency and accountability, and challenges to make best use of limited resources to deliver value.
This guidebook provides step-by-step techniques and a digital tool to:
- Assess current practice and establish a desired state.
- Identify and evaluate data- and information system-related improvements.
- Secure agency support for improvements and plan an implementation strategy.
The guidebook provides a structured approach that agencies can use to assess and advance current practices in use of data and information for TAM. This approach can be applied in a comprehensive fashion; it can be targeted for a particular asset; or it can focus on a particular topic area – such as data collection or data integration. The guidebook also provides supplemental resources that can help agencies with each step of the process – understanding the context for each of the assessment elements, learning about and evaluating possible improvements, and planning an implementation strategy.
Intended Outcomes
Completing the full assessment process will result in 1) a shared understanding of current agency practice and a shared vision for how to advance, 2) a list of candidate data and information system improvements that could be used to close identified gaps; and 3) a prioritized list of improvements – created based on a systematic process of evaluating likely impact versus effort and agency implementation challenges.
The guidebook is structured around a data life-cycle framework. This life-cycle (illustrated in Figure 1-1) consists of five essential steps for making efficient and effective use of data and information for TAM. The data life-cycle approach was selected to reinforce the importance of anticipating how data will be used prior to collecting it. The data life-cycle can be viewed as a supply chain in which the finished product is a data-informed decision. Getting a quality product depends on sound practices for specifying data, collecting it, storing and integrating it and providing access to potential users, and having suitable analysis tools and processes in place.

Unlike Wyoming, PacifiCorp is turning away from fossil fuels.
The parent company to Rocky Mountain Power, the state's biggest electric utility, announced Friday that its biennial Integrated Resource Plan is expected to include substantial investment in renewables — and no new investment in coal or natural gas. The 2021 plan will be finalized next week.
PacifiCorp intends to retire 14 of its 22 active coal units by 2030 and another five by 2040, with the remaining three shuttered shortly afterward. It would retain two coal units at Wyoming's Jim Bridger power plant, converting them to natural gas peaking units in 2024.

Hi and welcome to the Let's Eat, Grandma Career Warrior Podcast where our goal is not only to help you land your dream job, but to help you live your best life. I am Chris Villanueva the co founder and CEO of Let's Eat, Grandma, which was ranked by the balance as the best resume service for job seekers. Well, today we have a minisode, where I try and answer a commonly asked question in 10 minutes or less. If you've heard anything from the recruiting space, it's that you need to create a targeted resume that speaks to the job you're applying for. While this is generally sound advice, it leaves many job seekers confused about how many resumes they actually need. Well, in this episode, I can confidently say that I will provide the right answer for you. And I'll even go above and beyond and giving you the most effective way to create and organize your resumes. This advice will work if you're crafting your own resume, or if you're using a resume service, like Let's Eat, Grandma. And a brief reminder to subscribe to this podcast. If you are a job seeker. I'm telling you, I provide the best advice out there on the market. And I know that's a bold claim. But what I tried to do is give specific answers to targeted questions. And I try to answer all of them. We've had 279 episodes as of today. And I also bring in some of the foremost experts in the career space. So if you are a job seeker looking to land that dream job fast and want to feel a sense of connection, then definitely subscribe. And I promise I will follow through. All right, so I will open up this episode with a story. Because again, the title is How many resumes do I need?
I had a friend, let's call her Jenny. I like to keep things anonymous. And she came up to me and said, Chris, oh my gosh, I've spent so much time on my resume, I can't even begin to tell you how much time I've spent on my resume. So I'm like, okay, Jenny, how how much time I just I actually generally want to know, because if it's a lot of time, then I'll start to feel guilty. 80 hours, is what she told me, she spent 80 hours the last week on crafting her resume and sending it out to jobs. And instantly my heart dropped because I knew that she had listened to my podcast and read our blog. And she took it really seriously that you should create a bunch of targeted resumes. But my heart dropped because I never would want somebody to spend this insane amount of time working on their resume.
Because number one, if you're spending this much time, then you probably can refine your strategy to apply more effectively, right use networking and the other things that I'd like to talk about. But second, it just was an inefficient way of crafting a resume, this person was redoing the resume over and over again because it didn't seem to work. And she would bounce it to one job posting to another. And so what I want to do is give you the best advice possible for you to efficiently craft and edit your resumes and and do it in the least amount of time.
And yes, I always recommend using a resume service because we get a lot of this legwork and all this stuff done for you, especially if you're a busy person and you're able to do so I always recommend using a resume service, whether it's ours or someone else's. But no one should spend this amount of time crafting a resume should be mostly a one and done kind of scenario. And it should involve tweaking. So let's answer how many resumes you need in your job search here. The answer is you need as many resumes as different job types you're applying for all elaborate on that in a second here, because I know it can be confusing if you need as many resumes as the different types of jobs you're applying for. So I'll give you the three steps that you need to take in crafting your resume here, which will give you a profound understanding of what it means to create different resumes for different job types.
Step one is to get organized. So I'll preface all of this advice in saying that you need to have your career figured out you need to know generally what direction you're going in your career. If you haven't done this type of soul searching yet, please reach out to a career coach, or put in the time and deep thought and figure out where you're going next. I know it takes time. But none of this advice is really going to hit home unless you know generally what types of jobs in general that you'd like to apply for. But once you do have that figured out, you need to start pulling some job postings in front of you and figure out how to organize them, how are they different?
So what I'd recommend is getting all the different types of job postings that you would be applying for. And then again, you're asking the question, how many different types of jobs Am I applying for? So when you're gazing, you're just you're looking over these different job postings. Do the keywords look different? For example, if I'm seeing the keyword analyst in one type of job posting, come up over and over again. And then I have another set of job postings in which the keyword coordinator comes up, then I'm probably looking at two different types of jobs that I'm applying for really easy rule of thumb is to look at the job title, because often they're classified in such a way that gives you the answer that you need. So how many resumes do I need? Again? The answer is how many different types of jobs Am I applying for? So if I'm applying for a marketing coordinator, position, and then I'm also applying for a marketing analyst position, those are probably two different types of positions.
Now, notice, I didn't say that this is your ultimate answer, because there are certain instances in which you might be applying for, for example, that marketing analyst position in one industry, and then you might be applying for a marketing analyst position. And another type of industry, I don't know your specific situation, maybe you have different types of job, maybe those positions have different types of requirements. But you need to figure out for yourself, generally, how many different types of jobs I'm applying for. And that is your answer for how many different resumes you should have. So let's say you figured it out, you know that, okay, I've looked at all my job postings, I've reviewed keywords, and I know that I'm applying for, let's say, two different types of positions, I've really narrowed it down. And I've classified it into two different types of jobs I'm applying for Well, the next step is to make sure you have a good master resume, this is the thing that's going to save you a lot of time. But your master resume is essentially a resume that you have loaded up on your computer ready to go, that has all of your accomplishments, skills, and experiences all on one single document. I love this technique, especially if you are just trying to keep track of everything you've done. So quick point of clarification, your master resume is not going to be sent out to anyone, this is a document that's probably too long, it's too all encompassing. And like I said, you want to be targeted as possible. So don't send this thing out to any recruiters or really anyone, it's mostly for yourself, in order to really have that all inclusive document, like I said, to build your resume off of after you have your master resume, what you want to do is you want to just copy that master resume over onto another document, just duplicate it and cut it down and refine it for the jobs you're applying for.
So like I said, in this example, if I'm applying for two different types of jobs, what I would do is I would duplicate that resume twice, to where I have two separate documents. And I would refine and cut down those two resumes to where they're short and targeted for the analyst position and the coordinator position. really as simple as that. And again, good resume service should do this. Well, they should look at the types of jobs you're applying for, and cut it down and refine it in such a way to where it looks like you're a good match for the role.
But it's really that simple. You don't need 20 different resumes, just because you're applying for 20 different types of jobs. And there is a way to get targeted without spending too much time on it. The question that I often get here at this point is well, what do we actually change on my resume from resume to resume, I'm not telling you to be a total chameleon, and have two resumes that look just totally different. It's like, oh, my gosh, is this the same person? No, you're gonna have shared accomplishments and experiences across your resumes. But what you can do is you can look closely at that summary statement at the very top of your resume. And you can also look closely at how your resume is ordered. As well as that very last experience you have on your resume, because that is the stuff that really matters. And it's also the stuff that it's not going to take you too much time if you have a good understanding of the jobs you're applying for. So at this point, you're done. Yes, you can tweak your resume out for the different companies you're applying for, you can get even more specific. But even then, I wouldn't recommend spending too much time doing this, because it's just gonna take you a lot of time. And it's probably not going to serve you that well. So this should answer your question, how many resumes do I need? You need as many resumes as types of jobs you're applying for? And you can figure this out by having a good, cold hard look at all the different job postings you're applying for. And that's really your answer. It's really simple. So hopefully you found this answer to be useful.

A huge city with a charming heart.
Xi'an is a quite huge town, hosting more than 12 millions inhabitants but in the centre most of the tourist sights are located at walkable distance. The bell tower & the drum tower can be visited with same ticket. Near by there is the food market mostly managed by the local muslim community. A great place to go especially at night.

CPL T20 Match Preview: Jamaica Tallawahs vs Barbados Tridents
The Caribbean Premier League has entered into its last quarter and it's almost time up for the teams struggling to get going. We have seen some great cricket already and some of them have already sealed their semifinal spots. Others are still jostling to get a look in at the last minute. In the upcoming matchup, the Jamaica Tallawahs will go up against Barbados Tridents as both sides will look to book a slot in the semifinals. Both the sides are struggling for form and therefore it will be a very crucial tie in terms of deciding the semifinalists.
Jamaica Tallawahs
Despite having a great team the Tallawahs have not stood out like they would have at the start of the season. The recently lost against the Knight Riders as they fell short on 19 runs chasing a mammoth total of 184. Andre Russell and Carlos Brathwaite kept them in the game but it was too far-fetched even for Dre Russ to take over the line.
However, before this game, the Tallawahs will face the out of form Patriots and a win there will boost their morale for this game. But captain Rovman Powell and his bowlers have to step up otherwise it will be difficult for the Tallawahs.
Take a look at our CPL T20 Match Preview: Trinbago Knight Riders vs St Lucia Zouks
Barbados Tridents
The Tridents are in deep trouble, in the previous encounter they batted first and could only muster a total of 92 in 20 overs against the Warriors. Batsmen like Johnson Charles, Kevin Mayers, Shai Hope and even captain Jason Holder struggled to make a mark.
The paltry total was chased down by the Warriors in 16.4 overs and they lost only two wickets. It was very difficult for the bowlers to defend such a low total against a team which has players like Shimron Hetmyer, Ross Taylor and Nicholas Pooran. Therefore an overall improvement is needed and captain Jason Holder should shoulder the responsibility of leading from the front. Although the Tridents will go up against the Warriors first before playing this match.
Head to head
Both the sides have faced each other 15 times in total in CPL history. The Tallawahs reign supreme but only just with 8 wins while the Tridents have only won 6 matches with one game ending in no result.

The Solomon Islands National Teacher's Association (SINTA) has strongly called on the Premier of Central Islands Province George Mapuli to stop politicising the posting of teachers in Central Islands Province.
SINTA alleged facts from the Central Islands Province SINTA branch is that the premier's political interference in the education authority has resulted in the non-posting of more than ten teachers.
SINTA General Secretary Samson Faisi told a media conference, it is a big mistake for the premier to interfere with teachers' postings.
"So if those allegations are true, then that's a very big mistake made by the Premier in trying to influence teacher's posting as to who should be in the postings and who should not be. Let me remind him it's not his duty to influence the establishment or who supposed to teach this year. He should be concentrating on Provincial issues and leave education issues alone because what's his support towards education if I may ask."
The General Secretary adds all avenues will be used find out the premier's interference into the posting.
SIBC's many attempts for a response from the Central Islands Provincial Premier today have been futile.

Don't try this at home kids! Disc brakes absolutely provide better stopping power, but do they also increase willingness to take risks and push the borders that little bit further?
55kph about 3 metres behind a tractor – as dangerous as it is fun…..
How does that relate to a professional peloton?
The riders are already seeking out every performance gain that they can, and if discs can help them brake a second later then they certainly will.
If everyone is able to do that, then the risk is lessoned – however if some are on rim brakes, or if it's wet, then there could be additional risks being taken to compensate.
It will be interesting to see where the UCI take this.

While activists took the streets of New York Aug. 31 in response to the Republican National Convention, a direct action of a different sort, in the Guatemalan state of Retalhuleu, culminated in brutal violence. Police officers surrounded campesinos who had taken over the Nueva Linda plantation in the municipality of Champerico. The ensuing confrontation resulted in at least nine deaths and dozens wounded or missing.
"Once more it has been shown that the government defends the interests of large plantation owners through violence," said Daniel Pascual, a leader of the National Coordinating Body of Campesino Organizations, in an interview with Guatemalan national daily newspaper, El Periódico.
Government representatives justified the violence, blaming it on the presence of armed campesinos. "Although we regret the deaths that occurred, this eviction complied with the law," said Carlos Zúñiga of the Chamber of Agriculture. "The police officers were taken by surprise by violent and armed people who, in spite of having lost the judicial process, continue creating instability in the country."
The violence at Nueva Linda harkens back to the scorched earth policies of the early 1980s, when hundreds of Mayan villages were razed to the ground by the army. Witnesses cited the burning of 500 houses at Nueva Linda, the extrajudicial executions of at least three campesinos, and the beating of journalists who witnessed the events.
A History Of Occupations
Guatemala has a long history of land takeovers, in which landless peasants, reluctant to relocate to city shantytowns and sweatshops, peacefully occupy plantations, carving out spots to plant their corn and beans. Land reform has not been a priority of Guatemalan governments since the days of Jacobo Arbenz, the liberal president deposed by the 1954 CIA-orchestrated coup that touched off 36 years of civil war. While it reemerged as a theme in the nation's 1996 Peace Accords, progress has been slow to nonexistent. A government agency has been established to address land claims, but hundreds of communities, many uprooted during the war, remain on a waiting list. Illegal plantation occupations have been, for many, the only way to survive.
A national strike organized by workers and campesinos on June 8 so successfully immobilized the nation's economy that President Oscar Berger, of the conservative Grand National Alliance, immediately promised a 90-day moratorium on violent evictions of peasants while reviewing potential land reform strategies. In return, groups representing the peasants agreed to hold off on protests for the duration of the 90 days.
The agreement broke down with the Nueva Linda eviction, which Justo Mendoza of the National Coordinator of Indigenous and Campesino Communities described as "a massacre."
"Their Voice Was Never Heard"
The Nueva Linda occupation began in protest of the government's inaction in investigating the disappearance of a campesino leader. Hector René Reyes Pérez, an administrator at Nueva Linda known for taking the side of the workers, disappeared on Sept. 5, 2003. His disappearance followed a disagreement with plantation owner Vidal Fernández Alejos. Reyes was last seen with the owner's bodyguard, Victor Chinchilla.
On Oct. 13 of last year, campesinos occupied the plantation in protest, demanding an investigation of Reyes's disappearance. They would leave, they declared, once the Ministry of Justice complied with its duties in the investigation.
On Aug. 25, a new Ministry of the Interior, Carlos Vielmann, promised to "get tough on the land invasions." He delivered on that promise Aug. 31.
Between 1,000 and 2,000 heavily armed police officers surrounded the community at 5 a.m. to initiate a dialogue with the campesinos, some of whom were also armed. It is unclear how the violence began. Carlos Quintana Saravía, governor of Retalhuleu, charged the campesinos with initiating the conflict by throwing homemade bombs at the police. Alexander Toro of the Human Rights Ombuds office demurred, citing a police blueprint for the eviction stating that if the campesinos refused to leave, the police would proceed with force.
Witnesses reported unprovoked police brutality. Journalists videotaped the police shooting an elderly man six times. They were subsequently beaten by police, their equipment confiscated. The Guatemalan newspaper Nuestro Diario quoted one journalist: "A police officer told me 'If you take photos I'm going to kill you just like him' and then he pointed his gun at a campesino and killed him."
Julia Cabrera, a single mother of 10 children, told El Periódico that she witnessed police shoot her sixteen-year-old son twice in the back, killing him. Another child disappeared."But I did not see who took my six-month old baby," said Cabrera, "because the police grabbed me by the hair and began to hit me."
President Berger argued that the extreme measures taken by the police were necessary since the campesinos were armed and, he claimed, had links to organized crime.
Guatemala's Congress has taken the campesinos' side, condemning the violence and calling for an investigation. A commission has been formed to search for the 20 to 30 people who were missing following the violence. Campesinos told representatives of the Human Rights Ombuds office that they saw police hastily throw bodies into a mass grave on the plantation, but a grave has not yet been located.
Campesino organizer Ursula Roldán told El Periódico that the events were a result of government inaction in the Reyes case and lack of attention to campesino concerns. "The indigenous and campesino groups organized marches and protests so that [Reyes's disappearance] could be clarified, but their voice was never heard," said Roldán.

FRIDAY, Aug. 5 — Jon Horford has conceded he lost the Democratic primary for the 77th House District.
"All absentee and in-person votes are up to date and accounted for from the 77th, and we've fallen short by 25 votes," Horford wrote in a letter to supporters. The letter was sent by the 30-year-old former basketball player to his campaign email list. He also posted it on his Facebook page Wednesday evening.
The 77th House District includes downtown Lansing north to the city line, a large majority of Clinton County including DeWitt and the Grand Ledge area in Eaton County. Horford played basketball for Grand Ledge High School before heading off to the University of Michigan to play ball. He graduated from U of M with a bachelor's degree and obtained master's degree from the University of Florida. He also played basketball professionally.
Going into the primary election Tuesday, Horford was the clear favorite of the Democratic Party establishment. He'd vacuumed up nearly all the endorsements in the race. He'd also raised nearly $70,000.
But Emily Dievendorf, 43, a community activist and owner of the Resistance Bookstore in Lansing , beat Horford in a three-way primary which also included Logan Bryne of Dewitt. She won both the Ingham and Clinton County portions of the district. Horford won the Eaton County portion of the district.
In his letter, Horford thanked supporters, noted the campaign had knocked on nearly 30,000 doors and sent five mailers to district voters.
"If you ever wonder if your vote makes a difference, please remember this election," Horford wrote.
Horford has not responded to calls seeking comment.
Dievendorf, a former director of Equality Michigan, has been an LGBTQ leader who identifies as bisexual and nonbinary, meaning not exclusively as a man or woman. She said that if she is elected in the November general election, she believes she will be the first nonbinary member of the Legislature.
She said she also identifies as a person living with disabilities, which she said are a traumatic brain injury and seizures. The brain injury was related to an incident at the Capitol when a motorcyclist swerved into the area where she and others were painting "Black Lives Matter" on the street.
"Visibility isn't all about campaign literature," she said in an interview this week. "It is about putting in the work over time, with your head down, just because it should be done. That lets people know who you are. This win is exciting, yes, but it is the extension of a movement that has been in the works and makes this win about all of us."
With all votes counted, Dievendorf received 4,547 votes to 4,522 for Horford.
In November, she will face Republican John Magoola of Lansing in a district that she said leans 64% Democratic. He is unlikely to pose a threat to Dievendorf, given he has requested and received a campaign finance reporting waiver, according to the Michigan Secretary of State's Office. That means he cannot raise or spend more than $1,000.

J. C Amberchele has a great story. He's a lifer, as they say in the US, serving for a pretty serious crime in one hell of a serious prison. He grew up ultra tough, by his own admission, schooled in the ethos of John Wayne. He became a criminal, a junkie, and a con man. And then it all fell apart….
In prison J C Amberchele – or whatever his real name actually is – came across Douglas Harding's 'Headless Way.' And in the long series of revelations this discovery provoked, he began to see the great cosmic joke in the life he'd been leading with all its cover ups, pretense and distractions. He began to see that the person he'd been trying to protect didn't' actually exist….
What follows is a fascinating, occasionally brilliant book in the lineage of Douglas Harding. If you can get beyond the cover (which is truly a shocker! ) you'll find the heartfelt confessions of a man whose had more reason than most to question the fundamentals of self-identity. Childhood was all about performance, learning to be a 'good boy', a 'sport', a kid like all the others and yet better, more distinct, he writes. What it was really about was building a false identity, one that said I was this body and these thoughts, and object for myself when prior to that I had been naturally (and unconsciously) Aware Open Space and all it contained.
Amberchele writes well and, so I've discovered, has written a novel to boot which must be worth a read. He's frank about his life in prison – no picnic despite the change in perspective non duality has brought him.
At the most basic level nothing has changed because nothing ever happened, he writes. But I have to add that at the level of this life story, the story is transformed. For instance, taking seriously what I find when I simultaneously 'in' see and 'out' see, relationships radically changed. You walk into the room and I can clearly see that I disappear in your favour, that I cannot but give way to allow you into my space, that I am not here to confront or be afraid of you. As pure awareness I am permeated by you and even more remarkably, I see that you appear in me as one of my appearances. Who is there to dominate whom? Who is there to defend? How can I even describe such a relationship except to say that Subjectivity is relating to Itself, and for no reason other than to see just this?

You walk to your cat's water bowl only to find their toy floating around. You likely wondered why cats put their toys in the water bowl.
Even though this behavior is common among cats, it still baffles scientists and cat behaviorists. Nevertheless, they have come up with several theories that try to explain this weird behavior.
Here are some of the reasons why cats put their toys in the water bowl.
1. Your Pet is Hiding or Nesting Its Prey
You might not have guessed it, but if your cat continually puts its toys in the water bowl, it is because it perceives the toy as natural prey. But why would your cat think so?
Despite man's efforts to domesticate cats, they still retain an instinct that drives them to hunt. Before domestication, these furry animals would hunt prey then bring it to their nest, also known as cache, to protect it from other predators who'd want to steal it.
Since this natural drive is still present in your kitty, it will push your pet to hunt for prey. However, since it does not have a nest to hide its game, which is the toy, it views the water bowl as a safe place. This is why you'll find the toy floating in the water bowl.
2. Your Cat is Driven by Collecting and Gathering Instincts
Cats also have an ancient instinct to collect and gather objects. This behavior is well-illustrated by a mother who will move her kittens by biting the loose skin on their neck. Or, she will pick her wandering kittens and place them back to the nest.
The same applies when your cat drowns its toys in the water bowl. It is only acting on its collecting and gathering instinct.
3. It is Washing off the Prey's Scent
Remember how cats would nest their prey to protect it from other predators before domestication? It turns out that they also dropped their target in water to disguise scents.
Doing so washed off the dead animal's scent, saving the cat its meal and life from superior predators.
Likely, this instinct is still active among house cats and a reason for the drowned toys.
4. Your Furry Pet is Teaching You How to Hunt
This may come as a shocker, but your pet is likely teaching you the concept of hunting. Your cat is trying to entice you to start hunting and gathering prey the same way a mother would teach its kittens to hunt.
In the wild, a mother will bring prey, whether dead or alive, to the nest to teach the kittens to kill on their own. In this case, your pet is dropping the game in a safe environment (water bowl), so you can learn how to do it yourself.
Next time, pay attention to the hunting lesson!
5. It is a Token of Affection
Your cat appreciates your effort to feed it daily. This is why it will gift you a dead mouse. Yes, that dead mouse you found on the porch or in your bed was a token of appreciation.
But how does that apply to the pet toys in the water bowl? Well, in this case, your cat is leaving the toy, or 'prey' as a gift because they know you'll find it.
That's a weird but perfect gesture, right?
6. Your Pet is Having Fun
Or it could be that your cat is just playful. Cats are fascinated with water, and they love to strike, pounce, or fish objects out of water.
Your cat could be enjoying the sensation of dropping and fishing its toys from the water bowl to satisfy its dormant wild nature. Or, it could be having a good time making splashes.
7. It is a Learned Pattern
What was your first reaction when you found a toy in your cat's water bowl? Cats enjoy attention, and they learn behavior through patterns.
So, if you fussed around the water bowl or laughed as you collected the toys, this could have motivated your kitty to drown more toys.
8. Dropping the Toy was Convenient
It is also possible that your cat drops its toys in the water bowl because that is a practical and convenient move.
To better understand this, assume your cat was holding the toy in its mouth but had the urge to drink water. What would be the reasonable action? Dropping the toy in the water bowl!
9. Your Cat Is Bored
Cats get bored quickly despite their intelligent and active nature. When this happens, they will find ways to create their enrichment. At times this includes destructive behavior like drowning toys in the water bowl.
10. It Could Be a Health Issue
Although most theories do not point out veterinary health issues, it could be why your cat is putting its toys in the water.
When cats develop thyroid imbalance, feline diabetes, or kidney problems, they create an odd relationship with water. Some of the warning signs include messy drinking, excessive drinking, or splashing water around coupled with lethargy, decreased appetite, and confusion.
If you notice any of these warning signs, it is best to schedule a checkup with your pet veterinarian. You want to be sure that your cat is healthy.
Can You Stop Your Cat from Putting Toys in The Water Bowl?
If you are frustrated with your cat drowning its toys in the water bowl, you must be looking for ways to stop this behavior. Is it possible? Yes, with these four tricks.
1. Find More Enrichment for Your Cat
The best way to distract your cat from putting toys in water is by adding more toys and enrichment. In addition, increase your interactive playtime to keep your pet engaged.
2. Restrict Access to the Water Bowl
Alternatively, you can remove the water bowl between feedings. Without the water bowl, the toys are safe from drowning.
But if you restrict access to the water bowl, make sure your cat stays hydrated.
3. Ignore the Behavior
If you discover that your cat intentionally puts its toys in the water bowl to capture your attention, ignore them.
Rather than clean up the mess as your cat watches, wait until they are distracted or asleep. This will send a message that you are disinterested in the behavior.
4. Maintain Water Hygiene
Lastly, cats rarely drink soiled water, but they will play or put objects in it. Therefore, change your pet's water bowl frequently to stop your cat from dropping toys.
Final Thoughts
Now you know why cats put their toys in the water bowl. It could be due to an innate drive to nest their prey or getting rid of the scent. It could also be that your cat is having fun, or they are gifting you.

After a decades-long hiatus, the city of Detroit is reinvesting in its alleyways, creating new opportunities for economic, environmental and social progress. Recognizing the potential for these alleys to foster biodiversity, community-building and climate resilience, WHC and a group of Detroit-based partners have initiated, and recently secured a new source of funding for a locally focused alley activation project. The $50,000 award was secured through the Thriving Cities Challenge, which was hosted by the Salazar Center for North American Conservation at Colorado State University. This funding will underwrite the development and implementation of a new project in the community of East Canfield, Detroit: Alley Activation as a Neighborhood-Based Sustainability Strategy. The endeavor will be led by nonprofit community development organization Canfield Consortium, which was founded by sisters Rhonda and Kim Theus, who grew up in East Canfield and seek to revert the neighborhood's alleys back to the thriving community spaces they were before the city stopped maintaining them over the course of the 1970s and 1980s. The alley activation will focus on installing green infrastructure and promoting placemaking and hyperlocal economic development within the selected alleys. WHC will continue to play an important role in the effort, using its three decades of experience supporting corporate-led conservation, community engagement and STEM education initiatives to drive corporate and youth participation in the project. The Road to Revitalization As one of the 15 finalists of the Thriving Cities Challenge, WHC and its partners, Canfield Consortium, University of Michigan-Dearborn and Detroit Ain't Violent It's Safe (DAVIS), were awarded $10,000 in capacity-building funding. The team applied this money towards a pilot project, which included a community tool library from which residents can borrow gardening supplies for use in the alleys or at home, a mural depicting children playing and a community member holding the earth in his hands, and a rain garden that moderates stormwater while providing habitat for pollinators. With support from the DTE Foundation, WHC organized two volunteer days: an alley cleanup event (with strong support and the donation of waste disposal from WHC member Waste Management) and a planting session for the rain garden. Each event was attended by about 20 people, a combination of East Canfield residents, corporate volunteers and UM-Dearborn students. Following completion of the pilot projects, the 15 finalists participated in a virtual, competitive pitch event, where each applicant presented their concept to a panel of reviewers. The Thriving Cities panel opted to fund the top eight pitches, with WHC and its partners finishing in second place. The funded projects vary greatly in scale, scope and location but all demonstrate a commitment to the challenge's focus on promoting racial equity, leadership and climate resilience within communities of color in North America. A Long Overdue Opportunity In a recent interview with Planet Detroit, Rhonda Theus explains that, "when we were growing up, alleys were social spaces" where children played and community members held events and meetings. The city of Detroit's decision to stop maintaining the alleys came at a time when the city's population was declining and access to resources became scarce — the confluence of these factors caused many alleys to become overgrown and filled with litter, and residents began to avoid what were once community spaces. A Long Overdue Opportunity In a recent interview with Planet Detroit, Rhonda Theus explains that, "when we were growing up, alleys were social spaces" where children played and community members held events and meetings. The city of Detroit's decision to stop maintaining the alleys came at a time when the city's population was declining and access to resources became scarce — the confluence of these factors caused many alleys to become overgrown and filled with litter, and residents began to avoid what were once community spaces. In recent years, as the city has recommitted to clearing the alleyways, various organizations have attempted to use these spaces for green infrastructure projects. Many of these efforts, however, have failed to secure community input or buy-in. Without community engagement, such projects can exacerbate existing inequalities. In contrast, Alley Activation as a Neighborhood-Based Sustainability Strategy was initiated by East Canfield residents, with community members in key leadership roles. Residents' ideas, skills and talents have been integrated into the project design, underscoring the project team's commitment to driving local empowerment alongside ecological uplift. In addition to the work done during the pilot project, planned alleyway activities include:
The alley activation project in East Canfield will also provide local companies with opportunities for private investments, employee engagement, infrastructure redevelopment and community outreach.
In the long term, the project has the potential to inspire similar efforts across Detroit — Paul Draus of UM-Dearborn explains, "this project promises to demonstrate the viability of alleys as multifunctional green capillary corridors for breathing new life into stressed but resilient neighborhoods." If you or your organization would like to join WHC and its partners in activating Detroit's alleys, please contact Patricia Billette at 240.247.0901 or email@example.com.

On 11th January 2021 the Government set out how it plans to deploy its supply of COVID-19 vaccines in its Vaccines Delivery Plan, a huge task undertaken at unprecedented speed.
Previously on 30th December, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) placed unpaid carers in group six of the priority list for the COVID-19 vaccine which Carers UK welcomed, as previous priority lists had not included carers. However, the delivery plan does not include this reference to carers in priority six, which should be clearly included.
Helen Walker, Chief Executive of Carers UK, said:
"Including unpaid carers on the JCVI priority list for the vaccine has brought many a huge sense of relief during this pandemic, particularly those carers who are working age, after many months of carefully managing the risk of infection and forgoing breaks from caring.
"The vaccination will give carers confidence that they are better able to keep their older, disabled and seriously ill loved ones safe and it will open up the possibility of some carers accessing help for the first time in a year.
"However, it is concerning that unpaid carers weren't mentioned in the Government's vaccines delivery plan. Government must ensure that all its communications about the priority list include this important reference to carers – otherwise it gives the wrong message that they are not included. We hope to see its plans to communicate with and vaccinate unpaid carers as soon as possible, so that they have clarity about what to expect and how to go about getting a jab when the time comes."

What are the major security concerns to look at while IoT app development?
Thursday January 09, 2020,
7 min Read
The Internet of Things (IoT) is ready to turn into the most significant technological achievement of this decade, like how the Smartphone earned a spot as the best triumph of the earlier one. Numerous family units will before long claim a smart vehicle, smart refrigerator, keen indoor regulator, or the entirety of the abovementioned, at last enlivening the science fiction dreams of the 20th century.
Internet of Things (IoT) is a trendy expression in the corporate sector. As a business person will, in general, get on board with the IoT bandwagon, it is reasonable to expect that we will have more than 24 billion associated devices before the year's over 2020. At the point when the corporate customers effectively look for altered app solutions for a deal with the whole IoT arrange readily available, the IoT app development space needs to manage some security challenges.
A thick horde of companies huge and little is endeavoring to "upset" this in trendy space, and this noisy gathering sparkles security worries among numerous IT experts and customers. If your business' center is IoT, your greatest adversary likely isn't the challenge; it's the open's tension, which is continuously encouraged by news reports concerning the defenselessness of associated devices to cybercrime.
Here is the list of some significant security concerns that need to be taken care of by all the IoT app development companies.
Privacy Concerns
Many associated devices are intended for bringing individual data like the name, DOB, credit card details, address, and other data of the users. A portion of these devices transmits this sensitive data over the framework with no limitation. It can make this data helpless against the attackers, and the chances are splendid that they can block and peruse the equivalent quickly.
Mobile app developers need to incorporate encryption systems to forestall such confidential data. Likewise, they have to stay alert while actualizing cloud-based functionality in the IoT app to guard the devices.
Hardware issues
As there is an incredible climb of mobility solutions and distributed computing with IoT, several chipmakers is fortifying their processors for additional security with each new age. The latest design of chips arranged especially for the IoT devices. Likewise, the multifaceted design will require more battery control, which is ultimately a test for IoT apps.
Encryption of Data
A number of devices use unencrypted network services. A large portion of the tools neglected to scramble the data even that devices are associated with the web. They ought to perform transport encryption where data change between the two devices will be encoded. It will be noteworthy to beat security concerns.
Less Awareness
It is conceivable that regardless of whether the organizations have an IoT network, it isn't completely mindful of the devices and their setup. If that an IoT device is wrongly set or any rouge device in the existing network, then it is hard to discover for the companies that have less awareness about the system. They can't assess appropriately, and therefore, the data becomes vulnerable.
IoT app developers can deal with making a dashboard-like view for each device. Experienced developers can likewise spread awareness about the functionality of IoT devices and the job of apps to deal with the system effectively.
Web Interface
Many organizations still run the IoT network through a website. Presently, the web interface may have simple passwords and powerless sessions on the board that make it exceptionally helpless against digital assaults. In any case, this is only the tip of a chunk of ice! The genuine issue lies in consistent cross-site scripting. It empowers mobile app developers to recognize the user's records abuse the detailed data for their stake.
The mobile app developers should address this vulnerability adequately and make the web-based management progressively secure through a robust & reliable app.
Password Issues
In an official overview, it is discovered that many individuals still unfit to set complex passwords for apps and programming. It makes their devices and app run on necessary passwords that can be effectively speculated. Developers find such apps and software as easy prey and hack the machines effortlessly. Such uncertain apps and software can make a ton of harm to the enterprise.
Solid password management and deliberate authentication procedure can assist organizations with disposing of password issues. Mobile app developers can execute a two-way authentication procedure to moderate password risks.
Interconnection Risks
In present-day undertakings, numerous frameworks are associated with the IoT arrange. As it were, we can see many associated gadgets in projects that transmit information to various frameworks. A couple of interconnected devices could use the rouge device or conceivably destructive programming that can prompt information spillage or break. The BFSI segment is defenseless against such dangers. The mobile app developers need to experience the joining arrangement of the organization's devices to protect the data before making an IoT app.
Additionally, it is essential to ensure that every single device was presented in the system after an appropriately consented to the arrangement.
Devices Issues
At last, it is conceivable that IoT devices utilized in the system are not refreshed and may have operational glitches. Such devices can be effectively hacked, and developers can get the data from them. Additionally, organizations may include defective devices in the IoT system to spare a few bucks that at last cost a great deal as far as loss of income and reputation.
The digital currency will make IoT a Target
The expanding utilization of cryptocurrency appeals to programmers who are trying to capitalize on the crypto-furor.
While numerous blockchain companies are attempting to help security to avoid hacking, the assaults on blockchain technology keep on rising. The blockchain technology, itself, isn't especially powerless, however, the app development process is.
The cryptographic, Monero, is one of the numerous advanced monetary forms that exist with IoT devices. Luckily, scarcely any developers have reused IP and camcorders to mine crypto.
IoT botnet laborers can control data protection, which could be a significant hazard for an open crypto-market. The precise worth and production of digital currencies could confront peril from mal-intentioned hackers.
IoT apps, formation, and platforms that depend on blockchain technology should be managed and ceaselessly checked to forestall potential assaults on cryptocurrency.
Where Does IoT Go Next?
Since the expense of sensors and smartphones keeps on falling, it becomes cost-effective to add more things to the Internet of Things - regardless of whether there's no undeniable bit of leeway to buyers.
As the quantity of related devices rises, our everyday living and workplaces will get loaded up with smart products. Thus, we need security and protection gauges that ensure our data.
Keeping IoT Secure
IoT organizations need to verify gadgets from malware assaults and information robbery.
Both of these issues can be unraveled with legal and administrative frameworks that ensure customer data and uphold exacting security arrangements. IoT can upgrade encounters and make an increasingly proficient home and working workplace.
Still, as IoT keeps on gathering large measures of user data, the need to dispose of hazard and malware is vital. Counsel with an IoT app development company to assist you with associating your devices.
Now and again, IoT devices have in-assembled programming that can share the data covertly to the programmers. The mobile app development company in USA needs to distinguish such devices and take enough care to evacuate device issues.

"Turn around."
That's what driver Jack Shultz said he felt God tell him after he drove past New Hope First Baptist Church's drive-thru prayer ministry one Saturday in Dallas, Georgia.
Shultz explained he was in a hurry, but asked God to put it on his heart if he should stop for prayer. He believes God responded.
New Hope Pastor Jamie Hobbs said he heard similar stories from a lot of people that stopped and asked for prayer after seeing the signs in front of the church.
This is the third time the church has held a drive-thru prayer event since the first one just before Easter of this year, Hobbs said. The events have been so successful the church plans to hold them quarterly going forward.
Strategic location
Church member Amanda Brooks calls the ministry effort the best idea the church has had in years.
The church's strategic location at a busy Dallas intersection means many drivers see the eager volunteers waving and holding signs.
"We'll pray for people even when they don't pull in. We'll do it if they ask us to pray while stopped at a red light, or even if they just honk as they drive past," Brooks explained.
Friendly faces and warm smiles greeted drivers that pulled into the church parking lot on a chilly autumn morning before being asked for their prayer requests.
In addition to prayer, everyone that stops and doesn't have a church home also receives an invitation card.
Sunday impact
On Sunday after the event, Hobbs said the church had two visitors as a direct result of the drive-thru prayer ministry.
"We've also seen an increase in our members getting involved in missions, since they can see firsthand the impact we're making on the community," he added.
The drivers that pulled in were just as enthusiastic about the event as the volunteers.
Terrone Prescod drove up in his delivery vehicle because he felt compelled.
"I'm going through something right now, and God put this in my way like a signal," he said.
When Prescod said he didn't have a Bible, prayer warrior Robby Hall gave him one to take with him.
Jarrell and Precious Brown also took advantage of the offer of prayer. Brown said the couple could have gone in any direction that morning, but "God led us this way."
That's exactly the response that encourages Hobbs to continue this ministry, which benefits the community and also inspires the church.

COVID-19 response
COVID-19 and the world of work: What are the responses of the ILO Office for Central and Eastern Europe?
Central and Eastern Europe managed the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic (spring 2020) relatively well, but the region was heavily hit by the second and third wave in the fall/winter of 2020/21. The lockdowns and the global economic recession led to a steep economic decline in 2020. ILO estimates show that the crisis caused a strong reduction in economic activity and working time. Eastern Europe lost on average 8 per cent of all hours worked. This is equivalent to 10 Mio full-time jobs. Two thirds of these jobs were preserved as firms resorted to reduced working hours while the remaining one third of jobs were lost. The ILO figures for Western Balkan economies look very similar and report a loss of 8 per cent of hours worked (equivalent to around 560,000 employment losses). Forecasts say that GDP will reach its pre pandemic level by the end of 2021 or in 2022. However, uncertainty is high as these predictions assume that the region achieves a high vaccination rate and will not face more waves of the pandemic. Experience from other economic crisis shows that the labour market will only react to the economic recovery with a time lag.
What has the office done so far?
First, the office focused on producing solid evidence on the impact of the pandemic on labour markets and social security nets. The ILO completed rapid country assessments in Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. The reports describe impacts of the Covid-19 crisis on the labour markets, and recommend policy responses of the Government and social partners.
A recent report reviews the national social security measures in response to the COVID-19 crisis, analyses their effectiveness, and discusses future challenges in improving the social security systems. The report covers seven countries in the Western Balkans and Eastern Europe
In order to generate additional data on the impact of the crisis on enterprises, the office is assisting Employer's organisations to run surveys among member companies. Reports from the second quarter in 2020 are available on Albania, Republica Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Ukraine. The office conducted follow-up surveys in the fourth quarter of 2020 for North Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia (not yet published).
As good analysis needs to lead to tangible interventions on the ground protecting jobs and people, we have been implementing several Covid-19 responses since spring 2020. The interventions range from training labour inspectors on facilitating a safe return to work to job and income protection measures, teleworking legislation, and moving to e-Learning for TVET students and entrepreneurs. For details, see the overview on current projects.
What is the service offer of the office for reducing the social and economic impact of the pandemic?
The menu of interventions developed to support countries in the region focuses on short-term measures that can be implemented through partners the office is already working with.
Specific interventions are:
- Country-specific job protection packages that include adaptations of measures such as short-time work; short-term unemployment allowance; income compensation for self-employed, seasonal workers, returned labour migrants
- Advice on drafting labour legislation in order to cover unprotected, non-standard workers such as seasonal workers, temporary agency workers, self-employed, or digital platform workers
- Support tri- and bi-partite negotiations on measures aiming at coping with the crisis
- Provision of short term social protection measures such as widened eligibility for unemployment benefits, cash transfers for securing basic needs, fiscal impact analysis of the social protection measures
- Prevention of domestic violence during extended periods of homeworking (awareness-raising campaigns, trainings)
- Support to working parents with caring responsibilities (guidance on flexible working time arrangements)
- Provision of e-Learning in TVET
- Enabling safer workplaces in a time of COVID-19: Using labour inspectors and social partners to advice on preventing the virus transmission at the workplaces.

Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. plunged nearly 10% on Wednesday after revealing he had examined reports of a senior executive's surprise resignation.
China's largest chipmaker said it was trying to reach out to co-CEO Liang Mong Song after online media circulated a resignation letter they said came from the industry veteran. Liang resigned after the SMIC appointed a vice chairman of the board without consulting him, according to reports. The company is now trying to clarify its intentions, she said in an exchange brief without giving details. Liang could not be reached immediately for comment.
Shanghai SMIC shares fell 7.2% after trading as low as 9.8%, the most intraday in three months. Its stock has been suspended from trading in Hong Kong. Liang resigned after learning of the appointment of Chiang Shang-yi – a former senior executive of a bigger rival Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. – to the board of directors, media including Digitimes of Taiwan reported.

Liang, a TSMC alumnus, was seen as an integral part of SMIC's efforts to become a major player in the wafer manufacturing industry for global tech giants. The Shanghai-based company, supplier of Qualcomm Inc. and Broadcom Inc., is at the heart of Beijing's intention to build a world-class semiconductor industry and wean itself from dependence on American technology. But it is now also among a plethora of Chinese companies that Washington haslabeleda threat to national security, a designation that threatens to cripple its long-term ambitions by denying it access to essential equipment and circuits.
"Recent technological advancements in the SMIC were directly attributable to Liang," wrote analysts at Bernstein, including Mark Li. "While Chiang's addition is positive, as vice president his role is advisory. Liang, however, personally led the technological development of the SMIC, and his contribution directly resulted in the mass production of 14nm, for example. Considering the two, we believe that Liang's departure will have a bigger effect and that future technological advancements of the minimum wage may suffer a setback. "
Chinese tech companies including Huawei Technologies Co. have been caught amid rising tensions between the two countries, which have clashed over a host of issues ranging from trade to the coronavirus pandemic and a security law. imposed by Beijing on Hong Kong.

Sick Toddler, Guilty Feeling Mom.
I'm not a perfect mom (please if you know one send them my way!), but I like to think I do a decent job. Yesterday though, I had an experience where I just felt awful and figured it was worth sharing. Our toddler (who will be two later this year) is a pretty well behaved girl, but she has just gotten into the phase of being fussy about some foods. My husband was out for work, and we went to meet my mother-in-law for dinner. We actually were bringing our own food with us and I stopped at Subway. Riley wasn't super interested in what I was orderng her but I figured once we actually got to eating she'd be fine.
Well, I was wrong. She refused to eat for over an hour straight. I was pretty annoyed because we hardly ever eat out and in my mind this was a "treat" and she actively didn't want any of it. Not only this but she was being very squirmy and we were out in public with my mother-in-law and her friend. I couldn't help but worry that this lady was thinking my child is just always like this and naughty, but it was very out of character. We went home and I was pretty frustrated. The last times she hasn't eaten enough before bed she woke up my husband and me at 1am wanting food (which we gave her). So I put her to bed, fully expecting her to wake up at some point.
Sure enough, about an hour and a half later she was fussing pretty loudly. I was annoyed because "just like I thought," she was up and now probably hungry. So I let her cry a few more minutes. Then I went in to go grab her and give her a snack. When I opened the door, the smell immediately hit me. Then I turned the light on and poor Riley was completely covered in vomit. There was a big puddle on her bedding and she immediately screamed "mama, uck!" when she saw me.
I felt my stomach drop and tears well up immediately. I had assumed the worst in her earlier when really I just had a sick toddler and didn't realize. Then I literally let her sit in her vomit for a few minutes because I was frustrated. Immediately, she got a shower (which did NOT make her happy at that moment), then into some cozy clean pajamas, and cuddling on the couch with a movie on.
Fast forward with a sick toddler…
Fast forward several more vomit sessions (thankfully I'd grabbed a bowl and no more showers were needed), some laundry, and lots of squirming…..and it was 4:30am and the sick toddler and I were up for the day. Did I mention she woke up every hour so I got no actual sleep? We took a quick trip to the local 24hr grocery store and I picked up some Pedialyte and crackers. I didn't realize there weren't any medicinces for infants vomiting/nausea (the youngest age I saw showed 6).
Thankfully, now in the afternoon she has kept down both the liquids and crackers and half a banana. I called the daycare and they said a few others in her classroom were out as well, and about an hour later they sent out an email that almost the whole class was out or had been sent home. Eventually she took a three hour nap. The whole time she's been in pretty good spirits, except for the first big uck and shower.
And Finally
So there is my most recent mom fail. My sweet husband (who was gone overnight for work) said he understood being frustrated because he had also gotten up with Riley before when she fussed about food. We usually let her cry it out for a few minutes before checking on her, so I hadn't done anything unusual. Riley just happened to be sick. We both were surprised that she hadn't communicated that she felt sick, so throughout the evening and today I've been trying to get her to say her tummy felt ucky and things like this.
