This was the opinion expressed by the Alex Dumoulin, Director General Unigrain, a Russian producer and distributor of feed, at the recent "Grain Industry in the XXI Century" conference in Moscow. According to him one of the most serious of these factors is the technological backwardness of feedmills in Russia."The growth of a balanced feed production in Russia is hampered by the technological backwardness of 90% of existing feedmills, as well as their distance from the consumer, the shortage of professional staff, rising taxes and prices for raw materials, protein and vitamin supplements. The situation is not helped by the tendency in Russian to simplify the feed production process as well as companies creating a lot of small feed production enterprises rather one large hi-tech enterprise" he said.Dumoulin also noted that the feed production market in Russia, which is now booming despite all of these factors, may soon move into a stage of stagnation, when the rising demand is met fully."Profitability of feed producers, which currently stands at about 15%, will sooner or later fall when the existing demand is met. This will happen in the next 5-7 years. After this we will see the feed production industry go down the same route as the flour industry" he saidAccording to him, the flour market in Russia is in a stagnant state, while millers have margins below the official rate of inflation, just about 5-5.5%. This leads to an excess of existing facilities: 50% of Russian flour mills are currently underloaded. He predicts that the same could happen in the feed industry.

People who are mentally struggling like this are deeply selfish. It's usually not a malicious thing - it's a result of genuine pain and desperation to alleviate that pain. You can compare it to someone who is drowning, and inadvertently drowns their rescuer right along with them because they're so panicked in their attempt to survive. Your friend's selfishness is coming from a deep and frightened survival instinct, not because he is a bad person or anything like that. 


With that being said, you have to understand how deep that instinct runs in order to understand that you will have to be *very* firm with your boundaries, and that your boundaries *will* upset him. That's ok. He will get upset, defensive, and maybe try to push those boundaries. Your boundaries aren't going to feel good for him. For him, mentally, this is you leaving him in the middle of the sea to drown. He may panic, and flail around, and try to grab onto you again. 


But the thing is: you're right.  He can access therapy if he chooses. He's not drowning. He does not need you to survive. But you need to stop trying to save him before he drowns you. I can't imagine that it's good for your relationship with your husband and kids to be sinking this much emotional labor into someone else. 


So here's what I would do, if I were you. I would script out a short message to him saying something along the lines of: "Listen, I care about you, but your anxiety and depression need to be dealt with by a professional, not by me. I hope that you seek out a therapist or counselor who can help you with these long-term, but I can't take the place of a therapist. I need to step back from being a sounding board for so much negativity. I'm going to take a few days to focus on myself, my husband and family, and take a break. I'd like to reach out to you at the end of the week, and when that happens, I need for our conversations to be about things other than your mental health for awhile."


How he responds is going to be *very important*, so pay attention.


If he responds with a little defensiveness and hurt but ultimately understands where you're coming from, accepts it, and gives you the space you asked for until you reach out to him - great!! That means there is hope for the future. From there, you need to be really clear on what types of issues you're available for. No depressive spirals, for example, but plenty of support for the job search? Whatever makes sense for you.


If he responds with a full-on meltdown, does not respect or understand where you're coming from, and violates the boundary of giving you space - you need to seriously re-think your friendship with this person. The whole post, I've given him the benefit of the doubt - but this type of reaction will warn you that things have gone beyond saving, at least until he seriously gets his mental health under control.Probation workers in Huddersfield took to the streets to protest over plans to privatise the service.
They demonstrated with placards outside the St John’s Road offices as Government ministers confirmed the sell-off.
And the workers warned priorities for the new owners would be profit rather than the protection of the public.
A.”
A spokesman for the dozens of probation workers in Huddersfield said: “It is very depressing news.
“Every day our staff here in West Yorkshire work not only with offenders – many of whom are high-risk – but also with the victims of crimes.
“The offenders have often committed very serious violent or sexual crimes and it is due to the work of probation staff that they are supervised and deterred from re-offending.
“We are worried that the prime consideration for any private owner is going to be profit and not protection.
“They will be looking to save every penny they can and there will not be the same protection for the public and for the victims.”
Probation workers nationally are expected to step up their protests in the coming weeks..”
The competition will continue through 2014, with contracts awarded by 2015.The Privy Council was a group of advisors to the High Lord (or High Lady) of Tapani sector Noble Houses. The council was typically drawn from the highest status nobles within each house. This comprised about ten percent of the noble class of which most were Lords.
The role of the Privy council within each house varied. In some houses the council was an advisory body only with no direct power. In others it is the power behind a figurehead High Lord. Typically a High Lord had a fair amount of authority to formulate public policy but since the privy council represented the most powerful families the High Lord normally took their advice under consideration.
