Industrial relations report: social dialogue under strain in Europe11 April 2013
by eub2 -- last modified 11 April 2013
The on-going economic crisis poses a serious challenge to the dialogue between workers' and employers' representatives and governments according to a report published today by the European Commission. The report shows that recent government reforms have not always been accompanied by fully effective social dialogue, leading to increasingly conflictual industrial relations in Europe.
What is "social dialogue"?
In general, "social dialogue" refers to discussions, consultations, negotiations and joint actions involving organisations representing the two sides of industry (employers and workers). It can take place at all levels (company, sectoral, regional, national, European) and either take the form of a bipartite dialogue between employer and trade union organisations or a tripartite dialogue involving public authorities . At European level, bipartite social dialogue takes place at cross-industry level and within sectoral social dialogue committees, while the Tripartite Social Summit for Growth and Employment (that precedes the March and October European Council meetings) is the main forum for tripartite dialogue.
What have been the main outcomes of European social dialogue during the past two years?
The social partners at European level have achieved numerous tangible results during the last two years. During 2012, four sectoral social dialogue committees agreed on binding agreements. For two of these, on working time in inland waterways transport and on protecting occupational health and safety in hairdressing, the social partners have requested implementation by EU legislation according to Article 155 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). The Commission is currently assessing these requests. The social partners in the sea fisheries sector are also expected to ask for legislative implementation once their agreement on the Work in Fishing Convention is finalised. The fourth agreement, on minimum requirements for standard player contracts in the professional football sector, is being implemented autonomously by the social partners.
Besides these agreements, the social partners have adopted more than 70 joint texts concerning a wide range of topics. The economic crisis, restructuring, green growth, working conditions, and skills and training measures constituted the main focus. The social partners also continued their work on capacity-building, especially in the more recent Member States.
The first meeting of the newly created European sectoral social dialogue committee for food and drink industry also took place in 2012. This brings the number of committees to 41. The food and drink industry had been the last industrial sector that was not covered by a European social dialogue committee. European sectoral social partner organisations and the Commission are also working on the creation of three further sectoral social dialogue committees in sports and active leisure, ports and the graphics industry.
What is the Industrial Relations in Europe report?
The Industrial Relations in Europe 2012 report provides an insight into recent developments in the collective relationships between employers, trade unions and public authorities across the EU. The report combines both quantitative and qualitative analysis and includes contributions from high-profile European industrial relations researchers. It examines social dialogue and industrial relations at various levels: local, company, regional, national and European. The Commission has published this report every two years since 2000.
The 2012 edition focuses on social dialogue in public administration, education and healthcare and on industrial relations in the Central and Eastern European Member States. Additional chapters cover social partners' involvement in the process of greening the economy and the reforms of pensions and unemployment benefits. The report also chronicles recent developments in European social dialogue and European labour law.
What are the recent developments in social dialogue in the public sector?
The economic and financial crisis has put industrial relations in the public sector under strain. Governments have targeted the public sector, which employs about a quarter of the EU's workforce, as a key sector for adjustment, promoting reallocation in favour of other sectors. Measures have included pay cuts, pay freezes and job reductions, while in some cases these measures included reforms of collective bargaining systems where they were seen as part of the problems to be addressed.
The effectiveness and efficiency of public expenditure has been under close scrutiny and the role of key stakeholders such as public sector trade unions has been challenged. In response to the public debt crisis, the approach of national governments to the public sector has been to dramatically accelerate and intensify structural reforms and the methods chosen to implement decisions have often excluded social dialogue. This has resulted in more conflictual social dialogue in many countries.
Why have industrial relations become more conflictual in many countries but not in others?
There two main reasons why industrial conflicts were more widespread in some countries and less pronounced in others. Firstly, the economic and financial crisis has affected different Member States in quite different ways. The most conflictual relations can be found in general in those countries that implemented the most thorough reform programmes at a very fast pace and without an effective social dialogue. This was the case in some of the countries benefitting from an EU-IMF assistance programme, but also in several countries in Central and Eastern Europe, where some reforms undermined the consensus which is needed for effective involvement of social partners in the process of adaptation to change.
Secondly, as was already the case in the first phase of the crisis in 2008-10, the countries in which social dialogue is well-established and industrial relation institutions are strong, are generally those where the economic and social situation is more resilient and under less pressure. This situation also reflects historical patterns of industrial relations in individual countries. The evidence shows that strong industrial relations institutions and well-structured social dialogue can produce positive economic and social outcomes and contribute to resilience.
How many workers in the public sector are covered by collective agreements?
Industrial relations in the public sector are characterised by differences in employment status, with some workers enjoying tenure and life-long careers while the right to strike and bargain collectively can be limited. Nevertheless, in the public sector the collective bargaining coverage is higher than in the private sector and social dialogue is generally more centralised.
The bargaining coverage rate indicates how many employees are covered by collectively bargained labour agreements. In most Member States, this rate is significantly higher for public compared to private sector workers. In the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ireland, the United Kingdom and Cyprus, the difference between bargaining coverage in the public sector and the whole economy is particularly large. In twenty Member States at least 90% of public sector workers are covered by a collective agreement. By contrast, across the whole economy only six Member States have an equally high bargaining coverage of around 90%: Belgium, Austria, Sweden, Slovenia, France and Finland.

Note: The dotted line is the 45 degree line which indicates points where the two percentages are equal. The solid line is the least squares regression line indicating the average relationship between the two.
The reason why collective bargaining coverage is normally higher in the public sector in comparison with national figures is twofold. First public sector industrial relations are more centralised than in other sectors of the economy because central state authorities are involved in collective bargaining and often prefer to keep control over public sector employment issues for the whole country. Secondly, public employers have been historically more predisposed to recognising trade unions as partners in regulating employment issues compared to private-sector employers.
How many public sector workers are unionised?
Union density is the most common indicator of union strength, indicating the percentage of workers that are members of a trade union. The chart below clearly shows that in the majority of the Member States the public sector is more heavily unionised than the rest of economy. This is particularly the case in Greece where public sector union density is more than four times higher than the national figure. Significant differences between the public and private sector can be also identified in Austria and Luxembourg. Only in the Czech Republic, Estonia and in Poland is union density slightly lower in the public sector than across the whole economy.

Source: National union density: J. Visser, ICTWS database 3.0. Public sector union density: Bordogna (2007), Adam (2011), Visser (2011), Brandl and Traxler (2012)
Note: The dotted line is the 45 degree line which indicates points where the two percentages are equal. The solid line is the least squares regression line indicating the average relationship between the two.
While unions will most likely remain stronger in the public sector than in the private sector in the future, the combination of demographic trends with austerity policies which lead to a shrinking public sector is likely to further reduce trade union density in services overall in the coming years. Therefore the impact of the crisis on industrial relations in the public sector is severe, particularly for trade unions.
What is the state of social dialogue in Central and Eastern Europe?
Industrial relations institutions and practices in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEECs) are quite heterogeneous. With the noticeable exception of Slovenia, the CEECs generally lack established employers' associations, have weaker trade unions and a faster erosion of trade union density, no tradition of bipartite multi-employer collective bargaining, persistently lower bargaining coverage, and formal tripartite consultation between the social partners and government that partly substitutes for under-developed sector-level collective bargaining systems.
In a number of these countries, crisis responses are generating increasingly conflictual industrial relations. The report concludes that there is a need to revitalise national industrial relation systems and to support their actions in order to promote and restore consensus to ensure the long term sustainability of the economic and social reforms underway.
The weakness of social dialogue in CEECs is highlighted by the low degree of organisation among employers. The employer organisation density rates show the percentage of employers, weighted by employment size, that are members of a representative organisation.

Note: FI: data 2006; CZ, LT and RO: 2007; BE and SI: 2009
Employer organisation density is closely related to the collective bargaining coverage rate. In the EU-15, 70% of workers are covered by negotiated agreements, whereas in the CEECs this figure is only 44%. The bargaining coverage also shows the diversity in the region with less than 25% of employees covered in the Baltic states, 35-45% among the Visegrad Group countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia) and Bulgaria, and 70% and more for Romania and Slovenia.

How did collectively agreed wages develop in the euro area?
According to European Central Bank (ECB) data, during the 2000s the overall development of collectively-agreed wages in the euro area was relatively stable with only moderate increases. While nominal growth rates varied between 2.1 and 2.7 per cent, there was only a minimal increase in real wages. The year of 2008 was exceptional with real increases above 2%. During the last two years collectively agreed wages actually decreased in real terms as inflation surpassed modest increases in salaries.
Chart: ECB indicator of negotiated wages for the Euro area, 2000-2012 (annual percentage change)

Note: real wages are adjusted by the Harmonised Consumer Price Index (HCPI)
Behind this rather stable picture for the overall euro area, national wage developments show some significant differences. In the period 2001-2010 the increase in nominal collectively-agreed wages varied between 23 per cent in Germany and 41 per cent in Spain. These differences were much less pronounced if compared in real terms (with a difference of only 10 percentage points). With the exception of Finland and Italy, real wage developments were below productivity growth.
How are social partners involved in unemployment benefit and pensions system reforms?
There are wide differences between national pension systems, but common to all are issues surrounding the perceived advantages and disadvantages of social partner involvement in policy formulation. There are clear advantages in encouraging the social partners to become involved in pension reform, linked to ensuring sustainable solutions. However, there are fears that the social partners may not be able to deliver the radical reforms that are needed in some cases.
The past few years have seen major opposition to pension reform plans, in particular to raising the retirement age, on the part of trade unions in many EU Member States. The employers' organisations were more supportive of pension reforms. Unions in Belgium, France, The Netherlands and Spain were involved in the reform process and managed to influence the final outcomes. In the other countries, unions were either not consulted, did not have an impact on reforms or the negotiations are still on-going.
How do social partners contribute to the greening of the economy?
As part of the Europe 2020 Strategy, Europe is working towards the transition to an economy that is more sustainable and less dependent on fossil fuels. The social partners' involvement in this transition has been gradually increasing, but much more still needs to be done. While some social partners initially were critical of the green growth agenda, the approach has now become more supportive and positive. Trade unions in particular have emphasised the need for a "just transition" linking environmental sustainability and social justice. The report concludes that reinforcing and promoting social partners' activities at all levels (European, national, sectoral, regional and company level) is crucial for the successful transition towards a green economy.
Social partners are strongly involved in shaping the greening of the economy in northern and western Member States like Finland, Belgium and Germany. In a dozen European countries, including many more recent Member States, tripartite bodies have been established to discuss a common approach to climate change and to find negotiated solutions to the challenges posed by the transition. The report (Chapter 5) details particular cases where social partners have successfully contributed to greening the economy in the construction, energy, chemical and non-metal manufacturing sectors.

Who are they?
Erdmann and Mathew are curious characters who present with an association of fire and water signs, Leo and Cancer: they are different from most people and often original or eccentric. Inhibitory vibrations could make them susceptible to introversion (7 and 4) while others make them lean towards extroversion (6 and 1), which is why they can appear to have a split personality - impatient, impulsive, irritable and irascible today; calm, softly spoken and diplomatic tomorrow. Their attitude towards those around them varies in very much the same way, depending on when you catch them: They could be extremely attentive, conscientious, affectionate and prepared to invest themselves considerably to bring equilibrium and harmony to their loved ones, sometimes even going over the top, while at other times, they hide behind an icy wall of silence and indifference, making it clear that they don´t wish to be disturbed... They seek the limelight and are usually impeccably turned out, hoping to appear strong and masculine and impress everyone, because they are concerned about the opinion of others. Their sensitivity and tetchiness can make them impulsive, although they are generally open and friendly, kind, affectionate and conciliatory characters. While their hypersensitivity can play tricks on them, it also makes them extremely perceptive, intuitive and gifted for understanding the intricate workings of the human mind. As children, Erdmann and Mathew love their families and tend to be considerably affected by them. They are sensible and well behaved, no problems in that department; but they are also fragile souls who require proof that they are loved, reassurance and encouragement because, at the slightest emotional shock they are likely to disappear back inside their shell.
What do they like?
While they are particuliarly sociable and communicative, they nonetheless appreciate intimacy. They want to be liked, admired, desired and loved. They seek intellectual enrichment and could be extremely erudite, even if they are self-taught. Deeply attached to their family, to the extent where this becomes their point of focus, they appreciate calm, serenity, harmony, peace and quiet, cosy comfort and esthetics. When it comes to love, tenderness is essential to their well-being but they are sensual creatures, first and foremost. Their sex life could nevertheless be complicated (especially if they were born in July; a 7th, 16th or 25th day of the month, or if they have a life Path Number of 7).

What do they do?
Erdmann and Mathew tend to be drawn to a career in one of the more original or avant-garde fields. The creative and artistic domains or activities involving communication and expression are areas in which they are likely to find satisfaction. A career in connection with one of the social sciences (medicine, psychology, sociology...) is another possibility.

Senior goalkeeper Erin DeLancey has been named Northeast Conference defensive player of the week for the third time this season. The conference office made the announcement in its weekly lacrosse release on Monday afternoon. DeLancey led the Blue Devils to a pair of victories last week at Arute Field.
DeLancey limited the Blackbirds of LIU Brooklyn to six goals in an 18-6 victory on Friday afternoon. She followed that by holding Wagner to seven goals in a 14-7 win on Sunday. For the week, DeLancey averaged 6.5 goals allowed, while making 22 saves.
DeLancey's five victories this season increase her career total to 17, a program record.
In 2012, DeLancey has posted a 49.7% save mark. She has allowed just one more goal (83) than she has saves (82).
The Central defense, led by DeLancey, has held opponents to single-digit point totals six times this year. At home, the Blue Devils are 4-0 and are allowing just 5.75 goals per game.
The Blue Devils are 3-0 in NEC play for the first time ever and return to action at Monmouth and Mount St. Mary's this weekend.

Pritchard, James B. (James Bennett), 1909-1997
Extent: 6 linear feet
James Pritchard, first Curator of Biblical Archaeology, Professor of Religious Thought, Associate Director (1967-1976), and Director (1976-1977) at the University of Pennsylvania Museum, conducted his primary fieldwork in three sites in the Near East. Of these, locating the site of Ancient Gibeon (El-Jib) in Jordan was perhaps Pritchard's most notable accomplishment. He and his team conducted five seasons of fieldwork here, discovering three prominent architectural features: a tunnel, pool, and the city wall. The archival records for these excavations consist six linear feet of field notes, reports, a field diary, correspondence, object catalogues, drawings, photographs and a photographic catalogue, an annotated map, publication notes, and financial records.

For many of us, a new year encourages improvement, change, and a resolution or two. In the current economic climate, I think it is safe to say that most resolutions for 2010 will revolve around saving money. Many businesses are cautiously waiting for the dust to settle, while others have unlocked the secret to surviving the tough market. Either way, throwing money around in 2010, does not seem realistic.
There is no denying that the companies who have embraced technology and social media, are thriving—and will continue to do so in the next year. There are simple ways of achieving this success and stability such as communicating through Webinars and Web Conferencing. Web-based meetings are tech-savvy, cut travel fees and scheduling conflicts, and with most providers they are easily recordable.
This method of communication has been a trending topic, and many companies are blogging, tweeting, and commenting about the power and necessity of online meeting presentations. This practice can be utilized in virtually any industry: sales, marketing, hospitality, human resources, finance, real estate, public relations, advertising, education, and so forth. Not to mention, every company, large or small, needs to meet with employees a few times a month to go over general business objectives. Why not do this from your desk?
A recent blog post by CyberMedia India Online highlights the advantages of online meeting and collaboration tools stating:
"With highly effective communication and interaction, it is easy for businesses to get started and even easier to scale throughout their various operations, with minimal impact on IT or internal operations. The web meeting helps businesses keep global workers connected and moving forward towards common goals. It helps companies make more money by spending less. Now that's the dawning of a new business era all by itself,"
Sharon Lobo of CXOtoday.com writes about how various industries successfully implement webinars and web conferencing into their business—not only saving money, but increasing productivity. She explains that sales organizations use online meetings to make sales presentations and demonstrate products, and marketing professionals embrace real-time collaboration solutions improving quality and quantity of their outbound messages without increasing costs. She also touches on how other industries, like human resources, use this type of technology to train professionals from one location to groups in multiple cities, minimizing travel complications and expenses.
Not only does this type of collaboration and communication save everyone money in the long-run, but when choosing a webinar platform that is free (like Freebinar.com) there is absolutely no out-of-pocket cost! Whether it is a seminar, lecture, presentation, training session, or staff meeting, Freebinar.com is the place to go if you want to stay current, and save money.

Pirate Coehlo è il nome di un sito che diffondeva numerosi testi di Coelho attraverso i circuiti P2P. Scoperto dall'autore, anziché bloccare tale diffusione, Coelho ha deciso di riportare i file PDF direttamente sul proprio blog. L'obiettivo è quello di incentivare la circolazione legale – e quindi l'acquisto – delle sue opere. Ecco come si rivolge al pubblico Paulo Coelho a tal proposito:
Pirate Coelho is a site that was hosted somewhere, with a collection of my texts in P2P sites. It was not me who put it there, but being adept of free contents, I asked the original site to put this URL here. I am reproducing here what I found in the Web as for Aug 2008. I am just facilitating but keep in mind that – except for the Portuguese books – this may be considered illegal.
A] I don't own the copyrights of the translations.
B] I the case that you download a book and like it, I strongly suggest you to buy the book, so we can tell to the industry that sharing contents is not life threatening to the book business. I make my living out of my rights, the same goes for bookstores and publishers. I count on your judgement and good will.
C] If you really don't have money to buy, print, read, and do a service to your community. After reading, handle FOR FREE to a local library in a small town, to a hospital, to a prison. The intention of Pirate Coelho (as well as my free web books) is first and foremost share thoughts with people who cannot afford buying books.
Thank you, Paulo Coelho

Article content
Even during the worst times in her life, Amanda Todd was a shoulder to those who needed help around her, a close friend reminisced during heart-wrenching speeches at a Maple Ridge, B.C., gathering for the dead 15-year-old.
"Amanda said to me one day when I was feeling at an all-time low that, 'You are not alone'," teen Austin Brown told QMI Agency on Monday. "Those words stuck to my head. I wasn't alone and I would tell her that every day."
More than 100 people gathered at Maple Ridge's Peace Park to remember Amanda, who committed suicide Wednesday after years of bullying and being chased by an online stalker.
Brown and many others shared their own experiences about bullying in the driving rain. Some brought candles, others flowers. Those who spoke wished bystanders did more to intervene before it was too late for Amanda.
Samuel Robertson and student Tara Tenenbein said some people did stand up for Amanda, telling bullies to back off. But even more spread rumours about her.
When not embroiled in her distress, Amanda was known as a beautiful singer.
"She was sweet when she wasn't thinking about her bullies," said one speaker. "She was so happy and full of life and energy."
Amanda posted a nine-minute YouTube video about a month ago detailing how she'd been subjected to intense bullying after making the mistake of exposing her breasts over a webcam in Grade 7.
She didn't speak on the video, instead communicating through handwritten cue cards.
In the video, Amanda said she was beaten up outside a new school and left in a ditch where her father found her. She was hospitalized after drinking bleach at home.
An RCMP investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death continues.
B.C. Premier Christy Clark tweeted she is planning an anti-bullying summit in Vancouver for parents, educators and experts on Nov. 13.

The couple of things I have made so far have been excellent. This is one book I can see getting lots of use, excited about this one!
The perfect spot for a read has been in the sitting room. I am so enjoying this room, which of course was out of action for 38, YES 38, weeks last year! It's had a facelift and is a joy to cosy down in.
I've been enjoying sourcing thrifty prints, bits 'n' bobs, and fabrics for cushions. I did sort of borrow one item for the photos though.
This is the latest quilt finish I have to share with you. I just really love this quilt. Really!
I guess everyone has their own taste and favourites but I think this is one of mine and I'm feeling quite giddy at letting it go.
So should you fancy it, you will find this beauty patiently waiting in my blogshop.

A little over 4 and a half years ago, I returned to the hometown area of Buffalo NY and also began a relationship with my mentally disadvantaged cousin Maggie - surprisingly with the approval of her mother and the rest of the family. The only stipulation was that we take it slow. If Maggie was emotionally hurt in any way, my nearly 80 year old father would castrate me. She was the only child of his recently deceased brother Stew.
Our sexual exploits of day one and day two can be read in other posted stories. Perhaps castration is too good for me -- but Maggie has been smiling ear to ear nearly constant these past few months. Even when my cock is fully down her throat. --- Despite numerous learning disabilities and near total lack of reasoning (she's with me isn't she?), Maggie gets by quite well outside the group home where she spend her first two adult years.
Aunt Beth is slowly teaching her to cook and I even teach her a few things that aren't sexually orientated. Recently, when I bought her a candy bar, I told her about Hershey PA and the factory and amusement park. I only knew what I'd read about it, since I had never bothered to stray on journeys to and from Buffalo - but to Maggie I'm sure I sounded quite knowledgeable.
That's when she got on the kick of wanting to go there. And asking about it on an hourly basis. "When can we go to Hershey? When can we go to Hershey? When can we go to Hershey?" I tried to put her off with the fact that I'd just started a new job and didn't have vacation time, but since I kept hearing it - I set a weekend aside to take her.
That's when she started asking, "Can we take Denise?" Denise was a girl who Maggie befriended (who still lived at the group home) and Maggie mentioned from time to time. The first such mention was of how Denise almost got rich accepting Monopoly money for giving $5 blowjobs. So, I was curious. We asked Denise's parents who didn't seem to care - I think they said yes before we even finished asking our question and they were delighted that it wouldn't cost them any money.
Three weekends later, I had two young mentally disadvantaged women in my car crossing the NY-PA border on the way to Hershey.
The sounds of the Backstreet Boys singing filled the car and both girls were singing (poorly) and bouncing around. It was a warm day and both women were wearing half t-shirts, no bra, so there were 4 bouncing titties constantly distracting me from my driving.
Maggie's was the first to fall out due to all the bouncing.
That led to tremendous laughter and mock embarrassment - we'd all seen that titty many times. Denise, I found was quite the copycat and she increased her bouncing until her left breast also popped out of her half shirt. "Your boyfriend saw my boob." Denise said, several times with no attempt to put the breast back in the shirt. "Five dollars," she said - a reference to her group home sexploits.
Both girls were laughing like crazy. Maggie lifted her shirt and flashed both tits at me. Denise did the same. Denise's were bigger, at least 44C. Denise was a chubby but facially pretty girl of just 18.
Whereas Maggie was a blond bombshell, Denise was dark and looked to have Italian or Sicilian ancestry. She also had a nipple ring on the right breast and unless my rear view mirror was scratched - a hair or two growing from each nipple. She had as little modesty as Maggie - which was absolutely none! Five minutes later, I'm driving down the road with 2 topless girls playing and bouncing in the back seat.
I was tempted to put the car on cruise control and hop in back with them. It would be fun to rub my face on four young breasts even if certain death would occur seconds later. Instead, I kept one eye on the road and one eye on the titties.
This was never covered in the driver's manual or when Dad taught me to drive years back!!! Denise was first to announce, "I have to piss!" I suggested finding a service station, but I was overruled by Maggie who decided she also had to pee and that she couldn't wait. Oh darn, I forgot to remind the girls before we picked up Denise - what a horrible (devious) person I must be!
We watched for a deserted road and despite this being Pennsylvania and in the middle of nowhere - it took a few minutes. Maggie started holding her crotch and bouncing up and down with need and Denise began to doing the same.
Copycat. It almost looked like we might find a service station before finding a dirt road, but finally we pulled off the main highway. Maggie was really squirming as she carefully removed her sneakers and socks and shorts and panties and folded each. It's one of her little quirks. Denise just pulled her shorts down around her ankles and spread her legs and gave me a wicked smile and took a whiz.
She had a very forcible stream and she left a big puddle on the ground when she finished. With her position squatting, facing me I saw very little. Realizing this, she stood and made no effort to pull up her panties. She had a very thick bush of curly dark hair which kept moving closer and closer to me. "You gotta toilet paper?" asked Denise as she stood next to me.
A trickle of pee running down her leg. If it had been Maggie, I have licked it off and I was still very tempted to do it anyway! But instead, I fished around in the glove box and brought out a McDonald's napkin. Denise, spread her legs and patted the pussy dry. Meanwhile, I guess Maggie had finished and was dressing herself.
Denise pulled up her shorts and climbed into the car taking the napkin with her. Maggie even put her shirt back on and climbed in the back next to her friend. I unzipped my pants and pulled out my penis and pissed for about 20 seconds in full view of both women.
That put an even bigger smile back on Maggie's face. Denise had her eyes glued to my dick, which I shook for a few seconds. That stiffened it slightly. No one offered sex, so I put it back in my shorts and we resumed our drive.
You know how sometimes you feel the need to pee and a few minutes later, after emptying your bladder you realize that you really had to take a dump? A mile down the road, we were turning around and headed back to the same dirt road. Denise had to "poo". This time, she removed all her clothing and Maggie and I watched from the car.
When she was done making "Denise droppings" as Maggie called it - Denise wiped with the MickeyD napkin and got back into the car. She dressed in the back seat. I had a full view of hairy cunt lips as she lifted herself to pull up the lower clothing.
No one else had to shit - I resumed driving - again. A funny thought hit me and I started laughing a couple minutes later. The girls wanted to know why. I laughed some more and wouldn't tell them. They begged and each showed me their tits and I kept saying "No, I can't tell you." Maggie jumped in the front seat and tried to unzip my shorts to blow me - if only I'd tell them what I was laughing about.
Denise also offered to blow me and forgive the $5 she thought I still owed her. "I don't think that Maggie would want you to suck my dick, would you Maggie?" I said to both women. "I don't care. Just tell us!" Maggie responded. "So, what you both are saying.is that I can do anything to your pretty young bodies - just for telling you what I was laughing about?" This was becoming unbelievable!
"Yes!!! they both shouted. Not to miss a great opportunity, I turned the car around and headed back toward the dirt road where we had just been. We'd traveled a bit farther down the road this time, the first thing that I saw was a billboard sign. It made me immediately change my mind and I turned around yet again - the girls asked."Where are we going?" "King's motel.
Just up the road a couple miles. We'll check in and then continue on to Hershey. We'll sleep over tonight and then start for home early in the morning. By the time I explained all this, it was time to get out and check in.
5 minutes later, we were in our room. It wasn't any different than any other motel room and I planned to use it as I had used other motel rooms in the past - to satisfy my own needs. Both girls were sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Tell us why you were laughing!" they begged. "OK, it was because we were driving on the highway to Hershey and that reminded me of -- the Hershey Highway which is like a nickname for going up the butt or having sex up the butt hole. That's why I laughed." The girls started to giggle and look at each other. Denise got us all laughing as she ripped off a very loud wet fart.
Maggie, held her hose for a second, but had to stop to breathe and laugh. I decided to move things along. I moved closer and kissed Maggie. I ran my hands through her pretty blond hair and kissed down her neck.
She instinctively reached for my crotch. A quick glance at Denise told me that she wanted to be included, but that move had to be either hers or Maggie's - so I faked a fall on the bed.
I landed on top of both girls, of course, mostly on Maggie but I made sure that my hand just happened to touch Denise's tit. Helping things. Maggie laughed and pushed me toward Denise.
Denise pushed me back, her hand brushing across my crotch as she did so. I pulled off Maggie's top and squeezed her tit and when I was pushed back onto Denise, I noticed her top was now off! "You know what you girls need? Spankings! I pulled down Maggie's shorts and pulled her over my knee. Denise came right up behind me and pressed her tits against my back.
I slapped Maggie lightly on the bare butt and Denise laughed and pointed.
"Hershey Highway!" Denise's finger was pointing right at Maggie's butt hole. I took my finger and slide it down into Maggie's wet pussy. Denise was breathing a bit heavy as she watched - still pressed right up against my back.
"You girls agreed to do anything I wanted and this is part of what I want. I removed my finger from her cunt and slid the wet finger slowly into Maggie's asshole.
Maggie started to moan. I was getting very hard. I moved my finger in and out a couple times and then told Maggie that I had to take off my shorts before my pecker snapped in half. 'Then we could both have half," yelled Denise who must have been feeling left out. "I like his big long cock," said Maggie, "I don't want it to break. I'll share the whole wiener!" Maggie pulled down my shorts and willy was free! Denise got closer and even reached out and touched it.
Maggie kissed the end of my penis and then did something astounding - she maneuvered my penis into her best friend's mouth! Denise knew how to slurp my stick and Maggie pushed me down and crawled up and sat on my face.
Her wet pussy swallowed my nose and I readjusted so that I could lick her clit. Meanwhile, Denise ran her soft lips up and down my dick - it was easy to see how she accumulated so much Monopoly money giving head at the group home. Maggie let out a howl and then gushed fluid all over my face.
She climbed off my face and moved down toward her friend. Maggie started licking one side of my dick and Denise licked the other side. At the top, their tongues met and they kissed.
Not a little, peck - a long tonguey kiss. Maggie began sucking my balls and Denise came up and kissed me and then licked my face clean of the spurt of pussy juice.
Without asking, she climbed on my face. I started licking her clit and slipping my tongue deep up into her pussy. She wiggled and squirmed and rocked and bucked. I thought her pussy might swallow my entire head when her cunt muscles began contracting in orgasm. Waves ebbed and juices flowed. Maggie, in the meantime had started giving me a humming blowjob.
Denise suddenly heard and protested. "You're copying what I did to Mikey West! Almost." she hopped off my smiling face and went back to where Maggie was sucking and bobbing and humming and to where I was about to spurt! ".let me show you." Maggie moved away just as I was only seconds away from filling her mouth - damn!!! Now, Denise's wonderful mouth was again clamped on my dick and she began humming and rolling her tongue over the head.
A different tune and a different feeling. "I'm going to come." I barely squeezed out the words before the spurts began filling Denise's mouth. I looked to Maggie who now looked a tiny bit dejected. Denise also noticed and crawled over to Maggie. She took her by the shoulders and pressed her lips to Maggie's mouth.
There was a slight gap and some of my cum trickled from Denise's mouth as she transferred my load to Maggie. As Maggie moved her mouth away, there was a gooey glob of my spunk left on Denise's tongue. Maggie lovingly sucked the tongue back into her mouth and took all the rest.
This led to more tongue tangling between the two girls.
They began squeezing each other's tits and groping each other's pussies. Then they sank to the floor in a 69 position.
I was so spent that I could only watch! Maggie was on the bottom and Denise was on the top.
Denise's ass was within reach, so as Maggie licked the clit and pussy - I frigged Denise with my index finger. In short order, the room filled with moans and both girl's faces were quickly slickened with pussy juices.
Denise rolled off Maggie and Maggie joined me on the bed. Denise followed. I had a naked girl on each arm and all three of us had smiles from ear to ear. We never made it to Hershey, Pennsylvania that day, but we explored quite a bit of Heaven!

As an organization committed to positive youth development, we are always looking for ways to better meet the needs and expectations of our communities' young people and their families. Expanding our programs to welcome girls is the result of this process.
The National Council of the BSA announced in October of 2017 that the board unanimously approved welcoming girls into Cub Scouts beginning in the 2018 program year and delivering a Scouting program for older girls in 6th Grade and up that will enable them to advance and earn the highest rank of Eagle Scout in early 2019. The National Council later confirmed 2/1/2019 as the official start date for the older girl program. Registration will include full program participation and the ability to work toward all rank advancements.
Since the Scouts BSA program launched on February 1, 2019, here in Northern Star more than 400 girls have joined Scouts BSA in 55 new troops with many more additional troops in various stages of the organization process.
At the Cub Scout level, working with their chartered organization, packs may choose to serve both boys and girls, remain an all-boy pack or the chartered organization may decide to start an all-girl pack. For Scouts BSA, current troops and their chartered organizations make similar decisions for whether to start a linked Scouts BSA all-girl troop or simply remain as they are. Organizations may also choose to charter a new stand-alone all-girl or all-boy Scouts BSA Troop.
We realize there is much to do to prepare, yet we are excited to be able to offer what so many of our families, volunteers and chartered organizations have been asking for. Prefer something visual? See This Scouts BSA Infographic

It is a choice and is optional - Chartered organizations, leaders and parents will determine what format best meets the needs of the young people in their community and unit.
It is designed to meet the needs of families and their children - This offers families an important additional choice in meeting the character development needs of all their children.
It is backed by research and requests – this expansion comes after years of receiving requests from families and girls, the evaluation of numerous research efforts, input from current members and leaders, as well as from parents and girls who've never been involved in Scouting.
It supports today's families – Families are busier and more diverse than ever. Most are dual-earners and there are more single-parent households than before, making one stop shop/convenient program serving the whole family more appealing.
Our Venturing and Exploring programs, offering career and high adventure experiences with adult mentors have involved girls and boys for years.
More Info on Venturing
Girls were able to begin their Scouting journey starting in the fall of 2018 as members of a Cub Scout pack. Cub Scouting means "doing" and everything is designed to have girls and boys actively doing things at home, at meetings and at camp.
Cub Scouts participate as individuals, in single gender dens (small groups of about 4 – 8 members) and in a pack (a group of dens all together) including the whole family. Cub Scouts have fun and go places with their family, friends, and neighbors, including our awesome camps. They earn awards while doing fun activities with their family and leaders, using a handbook as their guide.
As Scouts, girls can take part in the leadership experiences, camping, outdoor activities, service projects, and a challenging, individualized advancement program mentored by adult volunteers. Whether in a single gender girl troop or paired with a linked, single gender boy troop, Scouts lead and run weekly meetings, being introduced to over 100 hobby and career choices through merit badges and to goal setting/achievement through an awards program that culminates in the rank of Eagle Scout.
The Boy Scouts of America has helped shape generations of young people with an appreciation for the outdoors, for holding high ideals and for instilling an ethic of service to others – all while having a great time.
The programs are age-specific, with opportunities and experiences growing as you child does. The theme that runs throughout is "Prepared. For Life." which includes being prepared for adventure, leadership, learning and service.
With the opening of programs to include girls beginning with Cub Scouts (grades K – 5) in fall of 2018 and for Scouts (completed 5th grade – age 18) in February of 2019, these opportunities are now available for the whole family.
You can learn more about each of the programs by following the links in the "For Girls" tab.
Welcoming girls is an option individual Scouting groups choose, so you should be sure to look for the "Girls Welcome" indicator on the "Unit Finder" of our joining website: www.adventureiscalling.org, which allows searches by school name, zip code, address and unit number.
Welcoming girls into the Scouts BSA troop program began on February 1, 2019, for girls completing 5th grade and at least 10 ½ years old to age 18.
National BSA had a team of top volunteers, educators and Scouting professionals working on the implementation process. The givens were that the advancement requirements will be the same, the outdoors and high adventure focus will be consistent, as well as the learn by doing approach to skills and leadership will be maintained.
More than 45 Scouts BSA Girls Troops have been organized to date. Updates, resources and additional information will be posted here a they become available. Check out the new Older Girl Program FAQs on the FAQ Tab.
Since girls ages 14 – 20 are currently involved in your programs (and have been for decades), the expansion to girls at younger ages should have minimal impact. It may increase the number of young women who are interested in Scouting overall, as well as develop more leadership potential by increasing the number of youth members completing Grey Wolf and other youth leadership training courses.
As an organization committed to positive youth development, Scouting is always looking for ways to better meet the needs and expectations of young people and their families in our community.
As many of you have probably already heard, through various communications, the National Council of the BSA has decided to expand Scouting programs for girls to include Cub Scouting in 2018 and Scouts BSA (formerly Boy Scouting) in 2019. We realize there is much to do and we are excited to be in a position to respond to what so many of our families, volunteers and charter partners have been asking for.
There will be many points of learning throughout the process and implementation and we will do our best to keep this page updated and everyone informed as we learn.
If you have further questions please feel free to contact Colleen Brazier at 763-231-7210.
Q: What decision did the BSA make regarding girls' involvement in the organization?
Starting in 2018, families can choose Cub Scouts for their sons and daughters, enabling
them to take advantage of the life-changing experiences provided through Scouting. A
program for older girls was announced in 2018 for implementation in 2019
to deliver the Boy Scout program to girls, allowing for participating girls to earn the
highest rank of Eagle.
The Boy Scouts of America is committed to serving youth, families and communities
through programs that deliver character development and values-based leadership
training for young people. To that end, the BSA continues to evaluate how to bring the
benefits of Scouting to the greatest number of youth possible — all while remaining true
to our mission and core values, outlined in the Scout Oath and Law.
Q: What do you mean by this is a "market driven" change?
The BSA has experienced renewed interest in Scouting, and we believe that is
largely in response to program innovation and a more thorough understanding of what
families want and need when it comes to extracurricular activities. In fact, recent
surveys of parents not involved with Scouting showed high interest in getting their
daughters signed up for programs like Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, with 90 percent
expressing interest in a program like Cub Scouts and 87 percent expressing interest in
a program like Boy Scouts.
Following an evaluation of what families and young people want and need when it
comes to extracurricular activities and Scouting, the BSA welcomes girls into expanded
programs from Cub Scouts to the highest rank of Eagle Scout.
Q: Is this change a departure from the BSA's core mission and values?
No. In fact, this aligns with our mission and values. After all, the values of Scouting as outlined in the Scout Law — trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind,
obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent — are relevant and important for
both young men and women.
Our mission is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their
lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. To achieve
our mission, we create innovative programs and evolve existing ones that respond to
the needs of today's families and deliver them through dedicated volunteers in
communities across the nation.
Q: How will the BSA respond to parents who don't want coeducational
troops/programs? Do chartered organizations or local councils have a choice
whether or not to adopt the expanded program?
The BSA is committed to identifying and developing program options that will align with
the needs of today's families and young people. It comes down to providing parents with
important choices that meet the character-development needs for their youth. There is
research that indicates boys and girls together at the Cub Scout age in a nurturing
environment have more benefits than single gender. At the same time, there is research
that shows strong single-gender benefits – and we know parents have diverse
perspectives on the topic, so we want to provide options with what best meets their
When girls join Cub Scouting in fall 2018, packs may welcome them right away. An
existing pack may choose to recruit girls or remain an all-boy pack. When creating a
new pack, a chartered organization may form an all-boy pack, an all-girl pack or a pack
of girls and boys.
Cub Scout dens will be single-gender — all boys or all girls. Cub Scout packs,
meanwhile, can include any combination of all-boy or all-girl dens. The choice is left to
individual pack leaders in consultation with their chartered organizations.
This hybrid model builds on the benefit of a single-gender program while also providing
character and leadership opportunities for both boys and girls.
Q: What updates to youth protection will be implemented to ensure the safety of
boys and girls?
Youth protection and safety is paramount in all of the BSA's programs. We invest
resources and time to continuously strengthen our youth-protection program. At the Cub
Scout level, the program is already designed for the family, and we've had sisters of
Cub Scouts participating in activities for several years. As we deliver the program for
older girls, we will be evaluating any changes needed to ensure the safety of all youth.
Q: How do leadership and youth protection standards change?
Two-deep leadership is still required for all meetings and activities. If a den/unit is going on an outing or an activity, it is still required that there be at least one adult who is a female if there are female youth, and at least one male adult is there is a male youth.
Q: How do the Girl Scouts feel about this new BSA opportunity?
We can't speak on behalf of the Girl Scouts but what we can say is that:
Q: What is the official process for a pack to recruit girls?
The Chartered Organization and the pack leadership must agree on how they are going to best serve the local youth and community. The Pack then needs to let the local council know the option they have chosen; serve girls and boys, remain serving all-boys, or interested in starting an all-girls pack. This information will be utilized in the online registration system for new parents looking to join a Pack.
Q: Does our pack have enough leaders to handle the influx of new membership?
This is a decision your pack will need to make, based on the pack size and number of leaders you currently have. Your Unit Commissioner and your Program Relations Executive can help if you have questions. Remember, new youth members, both boys and girls, bring new parents who can be recruited to help your pack.
Q: Are there packs who are welcoming girls who we could contact for information or a visit?
Yes, this can be arranged by contacting Bob Thielen at [email protected]
Q: Will the leadership requirements change with the addition of girls?
Two-Deep Leadership is required for all Scouting activities and meetings. At least one of these leaders must be registered with the BSA and be current in their BSA Youth Protection Training. For activities and outings that are co-ed the leadership for those activities and outings must also be co-ed.
Q: How will girls register?
NSC will accept both on-line and paper applications.
Q: Will there be any changes to Cub Books / Requirements?
There will be no requirement changes for ranks or electives. Changes that will start to appear will be in the form of pictures showing girls, and text that is gender neutral.
Q: What are the grades of girls who will be able to join?
Girls in grades K – 5 will be able to join during the 2018 fall recruitment campaign.
Q: When will 5th grade girls be able to go to camp?
Girls who entered 5th grade in the fall of 2018 will be able to attend any weekend camp once they have become BSA members. They will be able to attend summer camp in 2019.
Q: Recruiting girls – do girls have to have a brother already in the program or can we recruit new girls into the Pack with no previous affiliation?
While we expect many of the first girl members to have a sibling already involved in Scouting, all girls are welcome to join.
Q: For Troops, what is expected for 5th grade girls who join a pack in the fall of 2018? Will they need to visit a troop / campout for Arrow of Light?
There should still be opportunities for 5th grade girls to visit a troop after they join in the fall to fulfill their Arrow of Light requirement.
Program for Older Girls - Scouts BSA
The National Executive Board of the Boy Scouts of America scheduled February 1, 2019 launch date for the program to serve girls, ages 11-17. This timing is intended to align with the programmatic timeline so that girls who join Cub Scouts in 2018 and will have earned their Arrow of Light are able to cross over to a troop to continue their Scouting journey.
The Board also approved the option of a linked troop structure that would allow existing boy troops and future girl troops the opportunity to be linked through a shared Chartered Organization Representative and troop committee.
NEW - Program for Older Girls FAQs - Scouts BSA
Q. What program is available to girls that are older than Cub Scout age?
Using the same Scouting program offered to older boys, the organization delivers a program for older girls that launched in February 2019 through which girls will be able to earn the highest rank of Eagle Scout.
Q: What ages would be eligible for the program?
Mirroring the ages served by the existing program, the Scouts BSA program for girls would serve girls who have completed the fifth grade and are at least 10 years old, or have earned the Arrow of Light and are at least 10 years old, or are age 11 but have not reached age 18.
Q. Will you change the program to accommodate girls?
Our existing programs are relevant for both young men and women. After all, the values of Scouting as outlined in the Scout Law – trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent – are relevant and important values for both young men and women. As such, the program for girls, ages 11 to 17 will be the same curriculum offered in the Boy Scout program.
Q: Will the Scoutmaster position change in the program for girls?
No, the Scoutmaster is still responsible for training and guiding youth leaders in the operation of the troop and for managing, training and supporting assistant scoutmasters in their role.
Q: Can a boy troop and a girl troop share the same Scoutmaster?
A: No. Chartered organizations should have separate Scoutmasters for their boy troop and girl troop. The two troops can however share all other leaders through the linked troop model.
Q: Can both male troops and female troops share the same committee?
A: A chartered organization can decide if they want the same or separate committee.
Q: Can a male troop and female troop meet at the same time?
Yes. Based on the preferences of the chartered organization, the male troop and female troop could meet at the same time and place.
Q: If a chartered organization is not able to establish a new unit based on the required
number of same-gender youth needed, can boy patrols and girl patrols be combined to form
a troop?
No. A new unit must be started using the current youth and adult requirements; however,
chartered organizations can consider the linked troop model so that the newly-established girl
troop will have the same COR and can share the troop committee.
Q: Can a male troop and female troop meet as one big troop?
Opening and closing of the meetings can be together or separate, depending on space and
desire of the chartered organization and unit leadership. The other components of the Scout
meeting should be run separately.
Q: Can male and female patrols make up a troop?
No. Troops must be all male or all female youth members.
Q: Must the leaders of a male troop be men and all the leaders of the female troop be women?
No. Adult leadership may be men, women, or both men and women together. All youth
protection guidelines are to be in use no matter the make-up of the adult leadership.
Q: Can a male troop and female troop plan events together?
Yes, they can plan events together, as troops currently do.
Q: Can courts of honor be held jointly?
Yes, courts of honor can be held jointly if the chartered organization chooses.
Q: Can a council and district run camporees for male troops and female troops?
Yes, a council and district can run council and district events for both boy troops and girl troops
if they are following the Guide to Safe Scouting and all current youth protection guidelines.
Q: Will all current troops be required to offer a program for females?
Chartered organizations can decide which programs best serve the needs of their community,
which means that the chartered organization can continue to offer Scouting for boys, or they
may choose to add a unit for older girls.
What is Scouts BSA?
Scouts BSA is the Scouting program for all youth ages 11-17.
Q: Why are you changing the name of the Boy Scout program?
As we enter a new era for our organization, it is important that all youth can see themselves in
Scouting in every way possible. That is why we're proud to announce that "Scouts BSA" is the new
name for the Boy Scout program. Scouts BSA perfectly represents the new, inclusive program for
older Scouts that the Boy Scouts of America is proud to offer. Starting in February 2019, Scouts BSA, has continued to offer Scouting in single-gender troops, through which Scouts – boys and girls – can
work to earn the Eagle Scout rank. The organization name will continue to be Boy Scouts of America.
Q: Are you changing the name of the organization?
No, our iconic organization name will continue to be Boy Scouts of America.
Q: When will the name change be effective?
The launch date for Scouts BSA was February 1, 2019.
Q: What will the members of the program be called?
Just as today, they will be called Scouts. For example, "I'm in Scouts BSA, so I am a Scout."
Q: Will The Boy Scout Handbook be updated to reflect the new name?
Yes and it has been.
Q: How many (if any) women volunteers will be required for the linked all-female troop?
They need one at least one adult registered female.
Q: Does the scoutmaster of the all-female troop need to be a woman?
Q: Will it be necessary for the leadership to be in place before advertising a troop as welcoming girls?
No. This is similar to starting a new unit. They will be able to use the same leadership as the unit for boys or they could start an individual unit, not linked with an all-boys troop. They may have some unit leaders identified or they may be recruiting the parents of the girls who start. If they are a linked unit most of their leadership is probably in place already.
Q: Any changes to overnight camping requirements for Scouts BSA?
No, they remain the same as listed in the Guide for Safe Scouting: "Adult Supervision/Coed Activities - Male and female adult leaders must be present for all overnight coed Scouting trips and outings, even those including parent and child. Both male and female adult leaders must be 21 years of age or older, and one must be a registered member of the BSA."
Q: Are we looking at creating more gender neutral camping facilities?
Yes, our camping and properties committees are evaluating our current facilities to identify where we can create more single-entrance bathroom and shower facilities. Once complete we will work to identify funding and resources to make needed improvements.
Q: Is there a standard plan for females who crossover from Webelos to Scouts BSA?
All girls who crossover into Scouts BSA will go through the same process that boys have been going through, typically in February.
Q: How are unit numbers for female troops determined?
Any linked troop could choose to have similar unit numbers, example:
Current Troop 9100; New Linked Troop 7100
Current Troop 3100; New Linked Troop 5100
Q: Are girls able to join the Order of the Arrow (OA)?
Yes, girls will be able to join the OA, starting with elections in February 2019. Each Scouts BSA troop will need to hold their own elections and will need to meet the current election requirements.
Q: Can linked troops have joint OA elections?
Q: How many girls do you need to start a new Scouts BSA troop?
Each new Scouts BSA troop need at least five youth of the same gender, at least 5 adults and a chartered organization. When starting any new unit, all adults and youth need to complete the appropriate paperwork.
Q: How are Scouts BSA troops run?
Scouts BSA troops, whether male or female, should follow the Patrol Method and use the current Scout Handbook.

PES / [PES 2016] MATERIAL FOR OFFICIAL PATCHES (ENG)« le: 16 octobre 2015 à 21:34:09 »
This material was presented to the developers
APPEAL TO THE DEVELOPERSDear developers! In this regard we have highlighted the most important flaws of the gameplay. In our opinion these flaws should be considered in the first place, and they should be improved in the future. Please use this material when working on official patches for PES and 2016 as well as development of PES 2017.
We want you to understand one simple thing – we understand that you are faced with a huge number of pitfalls that are not always possible to get around when you develop a game. Some of previous features are ejected because of new ones, some features you actually can't implement, and some of them implemented fairly. But fans want all at once. We want you to know, that this article is written to give you an idea of what kind of gameplay we want to see! When we point out the flaws of the gameplay (in this article), we're not trying to blame you! We just want to help you. We have no right to demand something. We are just consumers as you think. But it is not so. Many of the fans are devoted to the series and some of them would like to join your team, to make our favorite game even better! It is not a secret that many fans want to be involved in the development process of their favorite game! There are many large fan sites on the PES, where people discuss your game on the forums! Opinion of huge amount of fans can be more useful than flattering words of game journalist. After all the criticism is the engine of evolution! Your fans are loyal to the game! Please respect their opinions, and contact more with them, and bring them to development of the game! Their recognition of the game - that's your best award and you should be proud of it!
You probably have the impression that we don't see any advantages in the game. But this is not so. The game has a lot of advantages. We could've provided you with more information if it wasn't for linguistic complications, everything was translated by ourselves.
APPEAL TO THE FANS AND THE FAN COMMUNITYPlease if you agree with the content of this material (partially or completely) and find it relevant – let the developers know about it! The more publicity this material gets, the better. Without talking about it, you only disorientate the developers. Remember that you play PES and don't stay indifferent!
PES 2016 GAMEPLAY SHORTCOMINGSWe are aware that we can be wrong at some point (and maybe we haven`t mentioned something significant). But who makes no mistakes makes nothing, isn't it? Enjoy reading!
● delayed reflexes
● slow speed
● goalkeepers are not trying to reduce the angle of attack
● the contact between players is not felt
● sometimes shots and passes are not felt (sharp and a clear shot is not felt; in these moments the players pass like a hockey stick)
● lack of sensitivity and feedback (the control of players' movements), resulting in inertial motions
● contact between cleats and turf is not felt (the players move as if they run on the clouds)
● clear contact with the ball is not felt when dribbling
● the animation of shot or pass goes not simultaneously with the filling of the power-bar, but after filling (the power bar fills up too quickly)
● dynamic of the game is achieved not due to good sensitivity and timely response, but due to the unbalanced, ultra-high speed of the game
● AI doesn't perform high pressure on defence
● AI doesn't try to stop the solo runs, block shots and passes
● AI tackles not aggressively and tenaciously
● AI demonstrates unrealistic good vision of the field, and instantly makes the decisions (most of them are correct)
● AI rarely intentionally foul
● AI doesn't try to create positional attacks (not taking position on the opponent side of the field), doesn't involve the entire width of the field when attacking
● AI sometimes keeps the ball too long, making absolutely unnecessary motions
● AI performs super-efficient through-passes (from the center and from the sides), while the defensive line doesn't have time to respond
● AI doesn't pass into a free zone
● AI doesn't always try to play ahead (moving towards the ball)
● AI doesn't actually use R2 dribbling, preferring to jerk from side to side
● AI acts very coolly and almost with no mistakes (there is no human factor)
Dear fans! We urge those who agree with one or another disadvantage of gameplay mentioned in the article, not to remain indifferent and to let the developers know about it!
● you can feel the ball glued (as if magnetized) to the leading foot when dribbling (it's impossible to lose the ball without impacts)
● maximum speed of the ball after shots and passes is too high
● sometimes after a strong shot the ball sticks to goalkeeper's gloves
● short-term freezes of players (particularly after collisions)
● defensive line moves slowly after throug-passes
● players are easily adjust to the ball
● the positioning of players on free kicks, throw-ins
● AI doesn't always play according to the situation. The AI often moves towards the ball not on the shortest path; when moving with the ball to the goal AI is not trying to cut the corner
● every time you shoot the ball with the same player, from the same position, with the same power, the ball flies to the same spot (tested in training mode)
● lots of clean tackles
● low influence of fatigue on the actions of players (the substitutions are unnecessary)
● there are no mistakes in the work with the ball (it's almost impossible to lose the ball), high precision dribbling
● it's too easy for players to take the ball under control after strong pass
● players are too smartly adjust to the ball (including when the ball is in the air)
● high accuracy of shots and passes (no dispersion)
● the referee doesn't assess the degree of violation of the rules (instead of yellow card – nothing, instead of red card – yellow)
● offensive fouls
● minor fouls
● passive offside
● the default game speed (0) is too high
● players act with the ball on very high speed
● the speed of ball movement and players movement is unbalanced (the sharp movements are mixed with inert motion)
● the power of passes and shots is often not match with the animation (mighty swing and weak shot)
● the players shift the ball from foot to foot easily
● unnatural animation of crosses
● animation of tackles looks unrealistic
● the goalkeeper lacks of agility and flexibility
● players sometimes behave unrealistically agile, without losing balance
● it's very easy to make solo runs
● it's very easy to beat defender 1 on 1
● it's very easy to score
Dear developers! Please take comments on the gameplay into account and pay attention to them when developing official patches PES 2016 and during development of PES 2017! And please, devote more time for feedback from the fans. They always have what to tell.
● there is no potential speed of the players (the option of additional acceleration due to the turn of the stick)
● there is no opportunity to add on an extra power to shots and passes by pressing the button twice during the swing
● the inability to change the direction of the pass
● the inability to interrupt feints
● first touch bug on manual controls
● after the transition between episodes players teleport to their default positions instead of staying at the same place
● the animation of dodging the contact instead of a blocking foul. This eliminates minor fouls
● slow playback of replays
● there are no replays of side episodes
● freeze-frame in the transitions between scenes
● multiple loading screens
● delayed response when navigating through the interface
● no clear fan-sectors
● fair play

Westhampton woman charged with embezzlement
Lori Towne employed as bookkeeper at SealRyt Corp.
A Westhampton woman charged with embezzling more than $200,000 from her former employer has pleaded not guilty.
Lori Towne was arraigned Tuesday in Hampshire Superior Court on charges including larceny, forgery and embezzlement following her indictment last week. She is accused of using the money for personal expenses.
The Springfield Republican reports that Judge Jeffrey Kinder released Towne on her own recognizance on the condition that she not work in a job with responsibility for financial matters. A pretrial hearing is set for April 29.
Prosecutors say the 50-year-old Towne was employed as a bookkeeper at SealRyt Corp. and embezzled the money between 2002 and 2009. The company makes industrial sealing devices. It was located in Easthampton before relocating to Westfield.

Aurora, Colo. January 11, 2013. HelpAsh.org spokespersons Kindle Fahlenkamp-Morell and Heather Dearman, announced they have partnered with leading fundraising website FundRazrto raise money online for Ashley Moser, a victim of the Aurora, CO tragedy of July 20, 2012. To date, the family has raised 20 percent of their overall goal.
Ashley Moser (25 years old) faces a long road to recovery and also faces significant mounting medical expenses for her recovery in various Colorado-based medical facilities. Ashley's daughter Veronica (6 years old), was killed during the movie theater shooting. HelpAsh.org was launched to provide online resources, including a fundraising form, to raise awareness for Ashley and secure donations for her recovery and future expenses.
"We are extremely blessed to have received the amount of charitable donations online both through HelpAsh.org and FundRazr," states Fahlenkamp-Morell. "Ashley is an incredible woman that needs our support and the support from others as she continues down her long road to recovery."
The family has set a goal of raising $300,000 for Ashley by the end of 2013. All of the donations (100%) will go directly to Ashley Moser and helping her overcome medical expenses and prepare her for her future.
"At FundRazr, our goal is to help raise money online for foundations, non-profits and personal fundraising through crowdfunding and social media integration," states Daryl Hatton, founder and CEO of FundRazr. "We are honored to help Ashley Moser and her family raise fundraising resources toward helping her recover from this devastating tragedy."
Ashley is currently in temporary housing until an apartment can be retrofitted for her and she will continue to receive therapy and medical treatment for her disability.
"We are extremely thankful for the generosity of those that have donated and chose to support Ashley's recovery," states Dearman. "Our hope is that Ashley can work towards an independent future with new goals."
About HelpAsh.org.
HelpAsh.org was launched by Ashley's cousins as an online resource and fundraising website for Ashley Moser and Veronica Moser-Sullivan, victims of the Aurora theater shooting in Aurora, CO on July 20, 2012. Tragically, Veronica's life was cut short when a gunman entered a movie theater and opened fire. She was only 6 years old. Ashley was recently released from Craig Hospital where she was rehabilitating from the multiple gunshot wounds that caused her paralysis. She is partially paralyzed as a result and continues to receive therapy and medical treatment for her disability. Visit http://www.helpash.org/ for more information.

Any kid who had Hot Wheels or Matchbox car tracks as a kid knows that cars only make it safely through the loop-the-loop about one time out of ten. Definitely worth yelling for your brother to show him when it happens, then never being able to duplicate it. Sadly, the promoters of this Proton/Lotus driving exhibition clearly didn't recall their childhoods well enough.
In this video from Hefei, China, the car (badged as a Lotus but really a Proton) makes a good start, but right before the top the car seems to nick the side of the track, and, well, you can see the rest. Happily, driver seems to have lived, despite entirely missing the safety net slung in the middle of the loop.
The best part, though, is the sound of what appears to be one guy clapping when the car wrecks. Jerk.
