Ethical framework
Foreign Minister Atmar hails AKDN works in Afghanistan
During a recent meeting with the AKDN Representativefor Afghanistan, Mrs Sheherazade Hirji, Foreign Minister Mohammad Haneef Atmar praised AKDN for providing support in various areas ranging from rural development projects to restoration of historical places in Afghanistan. Minister Atmar assured Mrs Hirji that the government was fully supportive and looked forward to the expansion of AKDN projects in Afghanistan.
OXFAM and the Aga Khan Foundation establish 5 ECD centres in Khatlon, Tajikistan
In an effort to increase the number of Early Childhood Development (ECD) centres and contribute to the implementation of national educational programmes, OXFAM and the Aga Khan Foundation established five ECD centres in Tajikistan. The main objective of the project is to recognise, reduce and redistribute unpaid care-work in rural communities of Tajikistan. Subsequent efforts to enable further replication are essential to adapt the model to new regional contexts and maintain a trajectory of growth in early learning and development for young children across Tajikistan. Early childhood development plays a pivotal role in the cognitive, social, emotional and physical development of young children.
Reducing Covid risk in schools
Dr Douglas Gaitho, an infectious diseases fellow at the Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi, writes that the thought of re-opening schools for many parents has put them on the edge of their seats. This anxiety is largely driven by myths despite public health evidence showing that the closure of schools had minimal impact in mitigating the Covid-19 pandemic. Education remains a key social determinant of health and considerations should be put in place to mitigate adverse social, developmental, and health outcomes associated with school closures including sexual and gender-based violence.
Monumental efforts: Preserving our past
In Dehli, Rahim's Tomb mausoleum stood in ruins with a risk of collapse until 2014 when the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC), in partnership with InterGlobe Foundation and the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), began conservation efforts. After nearly six years of restoration work, the tomb opened to the public in December. Similarly, after lying abandoned for decades, in 2007, a memorandum to redevelop Sunder Nursery (a 16th-century heritage park complex adjacent to the Humayun's Tomb) was signed by the AKTC, the ASI and the South Delhi Municipal Corporation. A decade of work has resulted in a 90-acre park dotted with historical monuments, 300 tree species, 36 butterfly species, two amphitheatres, a bonsai enclosure and a peafowl zone.
Habib Bank Limited awarded
Addressing the Pakistan Banking Award ceremony organised by the Institute of Bankers Pakistan on 8 January, State Bank of Pakistan Governor, Dr Reza Baqir, said that although the Covid-19 had derailed the economy but it had also created a lot of opportunities in various sectors of the economy. During the ceremony, Habib Bank Limited received three awards as Best Bank for Small and Medium Business, Best Investment Bank and Best Customer Franchise Bank.

I can hardly contain my excitement because this weekend I finally get to partake in an event I've been helping out with for 2 years now! I'm talking about none other than the Black Love Experience Part 5!
So um yeah, I'm more than a little excited!
So without further aidoo, here are the top FIVE reasons I can't wait for BLE this weekend.
1. Finally seeing something you worked so hard on.
a. So I've been doing BLE digital marketing for two years now. I did the social media management for BLE Part 4 as well as this year. As you might remember, I was living in Nigeria up until 5 weeks ago. So I was working on the whole thing remotely and had to watch last year as over 1000 other people enjoyed the event I helped promote! So I'm just looking forward to being in the space I've imagined and hyped up and heard about for the past 3 years…can't wait!
If you know me personally, you know I like a good drink! Mariama, self-titled Sanctuary Maker, Druken Alchemist and Cocktail Enthusiast (I think we will get along well), is making some specialty drinks just for Black Love this weekend. As the social media manager on the team, I see every time we are tagged and Mariama's posts have my mouth watering. Plus, I've seen and heard about other meals this genius has curated and I'm really looking forward to partaking. #bottomsup (the picture above is from her Holiday Jamz party. Mariama is the one with purple hair).
So in addition to Mariama, the line up for Black Love Experience this weekend is OFF the charts! From vendors to musicians to artists and speakers, everyone individually seems so AWESOME! The idea that they are all coming together under one roof is what makes BLE so special. I can't wait to soak up their energy, knowledge and beautiful art. Some people I'm really looking forward to hearing/seeing are Sa-Roc, Jabari Exum (he was a drummer and consultant on the set of Black Panther) and Ytasha Womack who wrote the book Afrofuturism. That and the workshops sound so intriguing. I'll probably need to clone myself for the weekend.
In addition to the awesome people featured in Black Love Experience is the type of people that Black Love attracts. Recently transplanting back to the DMV means I need to find my footing here again, so I'm excited to mix and mingle with like-minded individuals in the area and get a feel for what's happening.
So everything I know about the Black Love Experience is through the BLE team that I've worked with the past two years. Each meeting we have leaves me excited and inspired for what's ahead. Today I held a twitter chat with Anika (she's in the picture above), the founder of Nubian Hueman and host of BLE and Risikat, one of the huge minds behind BLE's programming. The conversation was on a whole another level with the positive vibes and intentionality in everything they do.
And I think that is just what is so special about the Black Love Experience, the LOVE that this team puts into it. The amount of thought and intention is so beautiful that how could Black Love Experience be anything but amazing!
I could also talk about how this team has pushed me personally and professionally and one of the reason I'm able to call myself a communication strategist now, but I'll just leave it as this: I am beyond honored and excited to work beside these people this weekend.
If you are in the DC area, you really should come! Use my discount code: NKEMFLASH18 before midnight on Thurs. March 15th to get $20 off regular priced tickets!
If you're not in the DMV, follow BLE on Facebook and Instagram and catch me and my social media team covering the event all night!
Drop any questions you have below and you can definitely look forward to a recap post on my thoughts.

Tractor trailers must follow special precautions and rules when on the roadways in order to ensure the safety of everyone on the road. When they do not follow the rules of the road, they become a risk to everyone. Truck incidents happen at any time whether they are on the highway or in more residential areas.
Large trucks are involved in thousands of crashes that kill or cause serious injury to people every year. The Penn Law Firm will thoroughly investigate whether the trucker is in accordance with the rules and regulations that must be followed. The trucking industry is very heavily regulated in order to protect other drivers.
If you have been involved in a truck wreck, we will find out if the trucker was in any way in breach of regulation laws and help you through this traumatizing situation.


Last year our elected officials stalled THE AMERICANS JOB ACT that would have done some good getting Americans back to work. Earlier this year they killed the REBUILD AMERICA ACT that would have done even more good.
Today - things haven't changed much.
But there's still hope. Even disposable call center jobs can stay here.
Amid all the confusing clashes over taxes in Wednesday's presidential debate, there was one topic where the two candidates seemed to be talking right past each other - what Barack Obama terms tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas.
Mr. Romney appeared to be exaggerating his confusion to make a point: The tax break that Mr. Obama is talking about is both obscure and relatively tiny.
Currently, moving costs generally are deductible like any other ordinary business expense. The presidents budget contains a proposal to take away the deduction when a company ships a plant overseas. But it's basically a symbolic issue. A legislative version of Mr. Obamas budget proposal would raise only about $168 million over the next 10 years. The corporate tax is expected to raise $237 billion in 2012 alone.
In fairness, Mr. Obama has other, much more substantial proposals that are aimed at the same general goal of reducing the attractiveness of operating offshore for U.S. businesses. Those include tightening up on tax rules that allow companies to defer U.S. tax on their foreign income, and reducing the ability of companies to siphon profits they earn in the U.S. to overseas subsidiaries.
Some of those changes could raise tens of billions of dollars and alter corporate incentives. But many U.S. multinationals view them with concern, saying they would simply make the U.S. tax system and U.S. firms even less competitive with other countries. Already, other developed countries have lower corporate tax rates than the U.S., and also no longer seek to tax their multinationals on foreign earnings - a system known as "territorial" taxation.
So, basically, despite talking past each other, the candidates actually agree on a lot when it comes to corporate and international tax policy.
That won't stop them from continuing to clash. Democrats in particular believe blaming job losses on U.S. tax rules is an effective political contrast with Republicans. Mr. Obama already has brought up Wednesdays debate exchange at least a couple of times, as he argues that Mr. Romney is denying his previous positions, not to mention reality.
President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney have sparred over tax policy for many months. They have argued over the treatment of the middle class, small businesses and whether the Bush-era tax cuts should be extended for the wealthiest 2 percent. The first presidential debate sparked debate on a different point—the taxes paid by companies doing business overseas.
So far, this topic has not played a prominent role in the campaign, although American-based multinational firms have a huge stake in the outcome. By one conservative estimate, this part of the tax code is worth $30 billion a year.
During the debate, Obama tried to score points on Romney by highlighting the tax breaks companies get when they move jobs overseas.
In this fact-check, we'll examine the presidents statement and ask if there are tax incentives for companies that set up foreign operations.
In the narrowest sense possible, Romney's rebuttal is accurate. There is no clause in the tax code that rewards a company when it relocates production beyond U.S. borders. But if a plant moves at all, whether its from Ohio to Tennessee or Ohio to Malaysia, it is eligible for deductions.
Richard Harvey, a former partner at the accounting firm Pricewaterhouse Coopers and now at Villanova School of Law, went even further.
But both tax experts said the moving expenses were trivial compared to the hefty tax savings that companies can realize after they move their operations. There are two provisions in the code that allow them to shelter income from the IRS.
When an American firm opens a foreign division, it typically sets up a separate company that does not pay U.S. taxes.
"That foreign subsidiary is a new entity, organized and created in a foreign country, "said McGill. "And responsible for its own taxes." Profits earned by the subsidiary need not show up on the parent company's tax return.
The subsidiary pays taxes in the country where it's located. Those rates are often lower than in the U.S., where the corporate rate is 35 percent. So long as profits remain overseas, U.S. taxes are deferred.
The company can declare that none of that money will return to the U.S.
McGill, along with colleagues Edmund Outslay and Michael Donohoe, picked apart the public financial statements of Apple and other high-tech companies such as Google and IBM. With Apple, they found the company had built up $23.4 billion in earnings the company said would stay overseas permanently. And for good reason: Apple was paying an effective tax rate overseas of 1.2 percent on those profits.
An American firm with a global network of subsidiaries has another way to trim its tax bill. All of those companies can buy and sell among themselves. Its perfectly legal and very lucrative. Take the example of Google.
In just one quarter, the owner of the world's most popular search engine had nearly $2.8 billion in net income and over half of that came from outside the U.S. That would put Google in good shape regardless, but the foreign earnings would be especially valuable. In 2009, the company's foreign tax rate was 2.4 percent, reported Bloomberg News.
Google helped keep its taxes low by licensing its algorithms and other digital wizardry to an Irish subsidiary which then sold advertising around the world. The Irish tax rate on that income was 4 percent. But Google was able to drive its tax bill even lower by creating Google Ireland Holdings based in Bermuda where the tax rate is 0.6 percent. The Irish subsidiary sheltered its income by paying royalties to the subsidiary based in Bermuda.
These transactions are supposed to cost the same as if they were conducted at ar's length. Harvey, the former Pricewaterhouse Coopers partner, said they are anything but.
Harvey said the tax tools that multinationals can use give them a competitive advantage over domestic firms. He points to the work of Martin Sullivan, chief economist at Tax Analysts, a nonprofit news service. Sullivan told the House Ways and Means Committee that the tax revenues lost through deferral and transfer pricing were worth between $30 billion to $60 billion a year.
Sullivan also noted that American firms with international operations had shed American jobs while increasing their overseas employment.
"Between 1999 and 2008, U.S. multinational corporations cut their domestic employment by 1.9 million. Over the same period U.S. multinationals increased their employment overseas by 2.4 million," Sullivan said.
But the picture is more complicated than that might seem. There is strong debate over the role that tax rates play in those job shifts. Some analysts, including Harvey, believe the real drivers could be lower wage rates and being closer to important markets around the globe.
Independent analysts agree that firms with international operations can take advantage of tax loopholes that domestic firms can not. The value of these is in the billions. Such tax laws might not be the deciding factor for companies to locate in foreign countries, but they make that choice more lucrative.
Surveys of the business community state that regulations are not the No. 1 issue that is causing businesses to not hire, but the uncertain economy. Republican McMorris Rodgers, along with fellow Washington Reps. Jaime Herrera Beutler, Dave Reichert and Doc Hastings, voted down the effort to bring to the floor a measure called the BRING JOBS HOME ACT (H.R. 5542) that would have removed the tax incentives for companies to ship jobs overseas, and would have given tax breaks for those companies who brought jobs back to America.
US election: How can politicians bring back jobs from China?
Voters in the swing state of New Hampshire have an extra interest in hearing more details about Mr Romney and Mr Obama's jobs plans.
New Hampshire earned the dubious distinction of losing more jobs to China, per capita, than any other state from 2001-11, according to a new study from the Economic Policy Institute.
Companies like Watts Water Technology helped the state secure that spot.
The company had been making water control valves at a factory in the town of Franklin since 1959, but the company began shifting jobs to China a dozen years ago.
The company didn't entirely shut things down in New Hampshire, and today, the Franklin factory is once again bustling.
That's because it has begun to make sense to bring some jobs back home, says operations manager Ken Sargent.
And operations are becoming more streamlined in New Hampshire, he says, "which makes it a lot more cost effective to bring the work back to the states".
And Mr Sargent is just happy to be back home.
"In China, I really didn't know what to expect," he says. I had translators for many of my meetings.
Mr Sargent says Watts Water has brought back more than 125 jobs, about two-thirds of what they originally moved to China.
Tyler Stone, the company's director of operations, says government incentives can influence the decision to relocate jobs, "but it's usually never the driver".
"The driver is really around how we serve our markets and our customers," Mr Stone says.
Though politicians may be quick to take credit for bringing manufacturing jobs back from China, "it's all baloney", says Richard D'Aveni, professor of strategy at Dartmouth College's Tuck School of Business.
That's not to say that government shouldn't try to help businesses compete with China.
The US is fighting and losing a new economic Cold War with China, he says, in part because the country has failed to adapt.
"Our form of capitalism is at a disadvantage compared to state capitalism," says Mr D'Aveni.
"And so far, what we've tried to do is to level the playing field by getting the Chinese to act like us," by invoking World Trade Organization free trade rules and pressuring Beijing to curtail currency manipulation.
That might stop China's economic juggernaut in the short-term, but Mr D'Aveni says it is a losing strategy for the long term.
And what voters often hear are promises to restore what we've lost, says Dennis Delay, an economist with the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies. That does voters little good.
"If you look at the manufacturing jobs that have been lost, in a very real sense those jobs have gone and probably will never come back," he says.
"They've gone to China or to Mexico, or to other countries with lower labour costs or lower natural resource costs.
Tax breaks and subsidy programmes can create a short-term boost, he says. But to promote long-term economic growth, policymakers need to focus on educating the workforce.
"Where New Hampshire competes is in producing high value-added products that require a significantly trained workforce," he says.
To see that formula in action, I ride up the road to the town of Hanover, where Hypertherm Inc makes equipment used around the world to cut steel and aluminium.
Most of Hypertherm's 1,300 employees work in New Hampshire, and the company exports 20% of its product to China.
The company has decided not to move the factory to China, even though "there's nothing that technically requires it to be here in the US", says president Evan Smith.
He compares his firm to successful German manufacturers who have invested locally and for the long term rather than chase short-term profits.
Hypertherm has spent a couple of million dollars on a training institute to ensure a steady stream of skilled machinists. The states of Vermont and New Hampshire and the federal government in Washington helped.
That is the type of government support many in the state call for. The presidential candidates do address workforce training in their platforms, but most of their economic arguments focus on taxes.
Mr Romney promises lower business taxes, while Mr Obama says he'll end tax breaks for companies that outsource American jobs.
I asked Evan Smith at Hypertherm how much he considers taxes when deciding where to manufacture.
"I can't think of a single strategy meeting that we've had where that's come up," he says.
Paul Otellini used his keynote presentation at the Intel (NSDQ:INTC) Capital Global Summit to focus on his view of worldwide economic trends instead of focusing on Intel's vision or its investment plans.
Otellini, Intel's president and CEO, engaged in a question-and-answer presentation with Tom Campbell, Dean of the Law School at Chapman University in Orange, Calif., and former U.S. Congressman, on how U.S. and world economics are impacting the business environment while touching on issues that are at the center of the economic debate in the upcoming U.S. presidential elections without mentioning the elections themselves.
The Intel Capital Global Summit is an annual event that brings companies in which Intel Capital has invested together with potential investors, customers and partners.
Otellini said that, of all the economic indicators that are regularly discussed, the scariest one is the unemployment rate.
"You need 350,000 jobs [to be created] per month to get back to normalcy, and we're not getting that," he said.
Otellini also said he is closely watching the drop in consumer sentiment and in CIO sentiment, noting that the rise in productivity that had been seen until recently seems to have run its course, which is part of the normal cycle. However, he said, CIOs are worried about the future.
When asked about the Federal Reserve Bank's easing of the money supply as part of the current third round of quantitative easing, Otellini said he is concerned about what that will do to the business environment. "None of us would run our own companies or our personal lives based on the Fed," he said.
He explained that the expanding money supply is keeping borrowing costs low, but that money markets, now flush with cash, are remaining on the sideline and are getting little or no rate of return on their holdings. The result, he said, is a lot of money coming to the U.S. but not being put to work. "It's a shame," he said.
In addition to all that capital sitting in the U.S., the country also has a well-trained and highly educated workforce as well as a stable political environment, giving it a unique opportunity to turn the economic discussion away from the problems of outsourcing and instead focus on bringing jobs back home, Otellini said.
"It's important for leaders to speak out. ... We need to reduce the uncertainty and bring the money back," Otellini said.
That includes uncertainty related to over-regulation in such areas as environmental concerns, banking concerns and healthcare, Intel (NSDQ:INTC)'s Otellini said.
For instance, Chapman University's Campbell asked Otellini about such issues as the Environmental Protection Agency now having regulatory authority over carbon dioxide output and the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act providing for a new Consumer Protection Bureau, which can act against businesses without Congressional authority.
Otellini also said that corporate tax rates in the U.S. are among the highest in the world, a fact that retards the ability of companies to bring cash from overseas to the U.S. He called for a lower, more competitive tax rate combined with the elimination of tax loopholes.
Otellini did say there are new opportunities to bring high-end jobs back to the U.S. from places like China and India thanks to the rising cost of doing business in those countries.
For instance, the cost of working with mid-level engineers in those two countries is similar to that of the U.S., whereas the cost of working with senior-level management is becoming higher than in the U.S., because of the fact that such personnel with strong English-language ability and management experience are rare.
When asked whether he was bullish on the State of California, Otellini answered in the negative.
Otellini said that Intel has not increased headcount in California in the last 10 to 12 years and has closed its last factory in the state. Employees cannot afford to buy a house in California, and they complain about their local schools. "If it wasn't for the magic of Silicon Valley, there would probably be a net [population] exodus," he said.
Don't Blame China (Or Corporations), Politicians Pushed Jobs Out of the U.S.
While listening to the major-party presidential candidates come within an inch of declaring war on China during last night's debate, my first thought was that Beijing displayed admirable restraint by not sinking a U.S. aircraft carrier about two-thirds of the way through the posture-fest. My second thought, though, was of the inflation-fueled sticker shock my father displayed a year ago over the price of desert boots. Yeah, that sounds weird. But those two political candidates, and power-grubbers just like them, have helped create conditions in which it's very attractive for manufacturers to do everything they can to keep costs down, including moving factories to such terrible destinations as China.
First, to be clear, I'm not arguing that all of the incentive to move manufacturing overseas comes from inflation. There are good reasons to move manufacturing that have nothing to do with the eroding purchasing power of the dollar (although many of those reasons can also be blamed on politicians). But my father is a guy who spent much of my youth stomping around in Clark's desert boots. He's also an economically savvy guy who writes financial newsletters. And he balked at the price I'd paid for my own pair of desert boots even though that price was comparable to what he paid back in the day, adjusted for inflation.
My father, like many people, was blind-sided by inflation. The purchasing power of the dollar erodes, and even if manufacturers do nothing more than adjust for inflation, people complain about price-creep and insist they're being gouged. Clark's desert boots cost $12.95 in 1959. By standard measures, according to the American Institute for Economic Research's handy cost of living calculator, they should cost $100.87 today. They list for just about exactly that now, though you can usually find them on sale. But labor costs in in Britain have dramatically risen in that time, so the shoes are no longer made there they're made in Vietnam.
Likewise, Levis 501 blue jeans have been a staple clothing item over the decades. They listed in the 1986 Sears catalog for $30.99 each. Sears currently lists them for $64.00 (which would exactly compensate for inflation), but has them on semipermanent sale for $47.99 ח J.C. Penney just lists them at $45.00. That means 501s are actually cheaper than they were in 1986, once you adjust for inflation. U.S. labor costs have also risen in that time, so it's no surprise that Levis has moved production to Asia.
Incidentally, the AIER warns, "Most Americans in 2011 experienced a day-to-day inflation rate of 7.2 percentmore than two times the official estimate released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics ... If the inflation rate of big-ticket items such as cars matched that of everyday items, consumers would be appalled." The organization explicitly links price rises to "monetary expansion policies" ח policies implemented by our fearless leaders in Washington, D.C.
Historically, such a large expansion of the money supply has always resulted in higher inflation. For now, most of the additional money created by the Fed is accumulating in the excess reserves held by banks. But recently banks have started lending again. Reserves have started flowing out of the banks and into the wider economy through a somewhat increased volume of consumer loans and a more dramatic increase in the volume of commercial and industrial loans. There are also some early signs of life in the housing market and therefore in mortgage-loan origination.
All forms of lending convert bank reserves into money, available to be spent by consumers on goods and services. If the money enters the economy without a corresponding increase in output, higher inflation will follow. With money supply increases in the 14 percent range and output increases forecast in the 2 to 2.5 percent range, it seems likely that the money supply will outpace output.
So, when Mitt Romney and Barack Obama rail against China's nefarious practice of offering Americans good they want at prices they like, and attack corporations for shipping "American jobs" overseas, they're mugging shock and horror over a situation they and their buddies created. They screwed with the value of the dollar, consumers were horrified by resulting price rises, and manufacturers raced to lower production costs to avoid alienating customers. And it's everybody's fault but the that of the government officials who started it all.
In a column a few weeks ago, I wrote about "smallsourcing" and how U.S. workers are competing for jobs that small companies haven't chosen to outsource. Some of these jobs are in the very areas where the doomsayers said the U.S. had no chance of competing, such as information technology, Web development, and graphic design.
That U.S. workers have been competitive in these fields underscores my belief that the nation's workforce can be more competitive in other fields than is broadly understood.
Yes, outsourcing will continue and globalization will change the world's economic landscape. But the U.S. is hardly helpless. With smart processes and the proper incentives, U.S. companies can keep jobs here in America, and do so in a way that is actually better for the company and its employees.
Handles Big Names Consider iQor, a call center and business process outsourcing company based in Columbus, Ohio, that's increased revenues at a 40% clip for the past four years. It's done this primarily by expanding its U.S. operations. IQor also gives its U.S. employees universal health insurance, and pays salaries and bonuses that are nearly 50% above industry norms.
IQor's services include customer management and other call-center work. The company also handles financial services and industry-specific tasks. IQor has big-name clients in finance, media, and telecom including Capital One (COF), the BBC, DirecTV (DTV), and MetroPCS Communications (PCS).
Handling the back-office functions for those kinds of companies is work that's largely been relegated to the scrap heap in the U.S., considered a source of little more than low-wage, low-value, and low-self-esteem jobs. A significant number of such jobs has moved to India and other parts of the world. Sure, some companies, such as Dell (DELL), have moved call centers back home after customer protests. For the most part, though, call centers and back-office work in all but the most specialized areas have been rapidly moving off U.S. soil.
Pulling Down $100K a Year IQor, on the other hand, has 12 locations in the U.S. that house nearly half its 11,000 employees, including in such all-American cities as Columbus, Buffalo, and Greensboro, N.C. It also has operations in Canada, India, the Philippines, and Britain.
The best of iQor's front-line call-center workers make more than $100,000 per year, and that's not a typo. During the past four years, iQor added nearly 3,000 jobs in the U.S., making it the company's fastest growing region. IQor CEO Vikas Kapoor took an industry that's viewed as a lemon and has made lemonade.
There are a few lessons other CEOs might draw from Kapoor's approach. For one, the company's high salaries partly explain why it has a turnover rate of about 45%, less than half the industry average. To ensure that employees don't feel like a job at iQor is a dead end, the company creates career path programs that clearly lay out a worker's road to advancement. IQor regularly promotes employees who started out working the phones to management. And unlike many of its competitors, and an increasing number of other U.S. companies, iQor offers all its employees good health insurance and generous benefits packages.
Investing in Tech, Too In other words, iQor invests in its people, and doesn't view them as expendable or replaceable. The company values tenure and seeks to promote from within its walls, a hallmark of companies with strong cultures. Yes, iQor expects high performance. But employees don't seem to mind. If they did, they wouldn't stick around. This is hardly revolutionary. Study after study has shown that overpaying your people is a key requirement for maintaining high sales growth.
That said, paying people more and setting them down career paths isn't sufficient to make iQor competitive against companies in cheap labor spots. IQor also invests in technology designed to make its employees more efficient, for instance, by using "virtualization" technology that lets the company run any of its customers' software applications.
Kapoor also hired a labor economist and a psychologist to build a screening and aptitude test to find the best prospects for working in a call center. Employees hired through this screening process were about 50% more effective on customer calls than their peers who weren't screened.
Close to Accounting IQor also realized that it was paying far too much to headhunters to bring in employees who usually quit within a year. So it figured that paying its own employees much higher referral fees for leads on potential hires would be a better use of its money, and would build social cohesion among the ranks. In the past four years, iQor employees have referred more than 7,000 people to HR, and the company has paid out over $1 million in referral bonuses. Motivating a workforce to take referral bonuses seriously enough that management can replace headhunters is impressive.
IQor's success is based on the realization that although call-center work has a bad reputation, it's actually complex labor that can be improved through better processes and technology. It's closer to accounting or law in its intricacy than it is to fast food. Complex jobs benefit markedly from better talent, and iQor hires skilled people that lead to better outcomes than if it had decided to ship jobs overseas.
For all the complaints about disappearing American jobs, companies do have a choice. Yes, Indian outsourcing firms could benefit from applying iQor's management style. But their advantage shrinks dramatically when people become a company's primary investment.


Beretta U.S.A. Corp., which earlier this week announced plans to move operations from Maryland to Tennessee, is just the latest firearms company to leave its home state for the South.
Officials from Beretta and other gun companies on the move attribute this trend to tightening gun control measures in Northeastern states. Southern states also are using tax incentives and other economic benefits to persuade these companies to pack up their operations and relocate.
The Northeast — in particular Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York — is the historic heart of the country's gun and ammunition industry. Some manufacturers in the region, often known as the country's Gun Valley, have been producing firearms since the 1800s.
But in the wake of mass shootings such as the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, some northern states responded by passing stricter gun laws. Since then, small and large gun companies have started turning toward the South, where they say looser gun restrictions and lower taxes create a better environment for business operations.
Kahr Firearms Group officials in 2013 announced the company's decision to move its Blauvelt, New York, corporate office after the state passed the Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act. The company had looked to expand operations in New York, but officials felt uncertain about how the act would affect business and decided to move to Pennsylvania instead.
Kahr's main manufacturing office, located in Massachusetts, also faces uncertainty. Since the Sandy Hook shooting, state lawmakers have filed 60 gun-related legislative items that would limit gun licensing and sales and expand background checks on buyers. For now, Harris said, Kahr plans to continue operations in its Worcester, Massachusetts, office — but officials won't guarantee how long they will stay.
"Massachusetts doesn't want to harm the manufacturers, but harming our customers by making it more difficult for them with fines and fees — that does indirectly harm us," Harris said.
Some gun-friendly states, such as Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Texas, have capitalized on the northern states' stricter laws by actively recruiting firearms companies. These states attract companies with low taxes and financial incentives, said Stephen Clermont, director of research and policy at Every Child Matters, a nonprofit that has partnered with other organizations to curb gun violence.
Clermont said gun makers likely leave states for these financial reasons rather than because of gun laws.
But officials from several companies that expanded or moved operations in the South — including Remington Outdoor Company, Ruger and American Tactical Imports — said the law was a factor in their decision.
In Beretta's case, company officials initially planned to expand to Tennessee for the production of new products and continue some manufacturing in Maryland. Jeff Cooper, Beretta U.S.A. Corp. general manager, on Tuesday said officials worried about the business's future in Maryland after the state Senate in 2013 passed the Firearm Safety Act.
The state's House of Delegates reversed some provisions on the bill, which would have prevented the manufacturing and import of firearms, but the company grew concerned that similar bills might pass in the future.
Reeves, who said she could not comment specifically on Beretta's move, said she does not expect states that lose gun-related business to ease their restrictions. She said those states often enact policies with the expectation that they will lower violence and crime statistics.
The drive for tougher gun-control laws in some states does not appear to have affected gun sales. If anything, gun sales and permit applications historically spike following high-profile shootings that have prompted the legislation.
It's not just because people feel an increased need for self-defense, according to the firearms industry. Mass shootings lead to political debates about tightening gun control measures, which analysts say in turn drives people to purchase guns in anticipation of stricter laws.
For instance, the FBI said it recorded 2.78 million background checks in December 2012 — the month of the Newtown shootings — easily surpassing the mark set in November of 2.01 million checks, according to Reuters.

Do Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton Need To Curtsy To Prince George, Archie?
By Camille Heimbrod
Meghan Markle just gave birth to her son and royal fans are wondering whether or not Archie Harrison's arrival would change some things about the royal family.
On the online forum site Quora, royal fans asked whether or not Markle needs to curtsy to Prince George since he will become a future king and holds a higher position in the order of succession. In the same way, they are wondering whether or not Kate Middleton has to curtsy to Markle and Prince Harry's son.
Nancy Broertjes said that no member of the royal family needs to curtsy to the young royals regardless of their position in the order of succession. But in due time, Markle would have to curtsy to Prince George. Middleton doesn't have to curtsy to Archie Harrison especially since he has not been given a royal title.
Laura Warwick Martin, a former fundraiser coordinator, echoed the previous stand. She said that the idea of Markle curtsying to her nephews and nieces, while they are still children, is very unusual.
"The Duchess of Cambridge is married to the second heir to the throne, she most certainly would not curtsy to Archie as he is lower in rank to her," she wrote.
David Byrne, a follower of the royal family, also answered no to both questions.
"The Duchess of Sussex doesn't curtsy to Prince George because he is a child. George's parents have also told the media that they haven't told him he is a prince and probably won't for a few years… For Meghan to curtsy to him would be puzzling for him," he said.
And when it comes to Middleton curtsying to Archie Harrison, Byrne said that this will never happen. The Duchess of Cambridge only has to curtsy to a few members of the royal family. In the meantime, she only curtsies to Queen Elizabeth II.

The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) exchange, which in late 2017 had started offering Bitcoin futures, has announced that it will not list Bitcoin futures in March 2019, saying that a review on their approach to the space is needed.
However, CBOE contracts already listed remain in operation, and the last contract listed will expire in June. The exchange also said that it is reviewing its vision on cryptocurrency derivatives trading.
Some have compared CBOE's contract volumes to that of CME's, the world's largest futures exchange, which had similarly listed Bitcoin futures contracts a few days later. The latter has been performing far better.
The institutional investment-aimed Bakkt platform, which recently closed an equity deal with Starbucks, will also deliver Bitcoin futures to buyers, physically delivered to them.
The launch of the Bakkt platform is highly anticipated. Having experienced several delays, many investors in the market hope that the arrival of such platforms — Bakkt is backed by Microsoft and Starbucks — will pull the market out of its extended bear run.
In the midst of all of this, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been considering whether to approve a Bitcoin ETF, and some of the signs appear positive, Commissioner Hester Peirce, affectionately known as "Crypto Mom", has spoken positively of Bitcoin and other SEC staff members have said that approval is a matter of if, not when.
The market has not been affected by the news, and Bitcoin continues to hover just below the $4,000 range.


Statistics show that only 5% of the estimated 15 million smokers who try to quit each year actually succeed. Why? The nicotine in cigarettes is highly addictive. Many people who use tobacco want to quit, but find that without help, overcoming their dependence on tobacco and addiction to nicotine is extremely difficult.
At Columbia Memorial Hospital (CMH), we are eager to help you quit tobacco and help you to successfully overcome nicotine addiction because tobacco smoke contains a deadly mix of chemicals, many of which cause cancer. Smoking increases risks for other serious health problems including heart disease, stroke, lung disease, and puts unborn children at risk for low birth weight when a woman smokes during pregnancy.
No matter how long you've been a tobacco user, you are never too old to quit. You should also know that chewing/spitting tobacco, electronic cigarettes (vaping), using a hookah, pipes, and cigars are not safe alternatives to smoking cigarettes.
CMH is a totally tobacco-free campus. Patients are strongly encouraged to use nicotine-replacement therapies while at CMH. Using tobacco can slow down the healing process following surgery.
Ask your surgeon or nurse about help quitting while you're at the hospital.
We offer one-on-one tobacco cessation counseling in a nonjudgmental and supportive environment. Our certified tobacco treatment specialist will work with your primary care provider to provide counseling and prescription support that will give you the best chances of succeeding in quitting. Most health insurance plans will cover the cost of meeting with a certified tobacco treatment specialist.
Tobacco cessation appointments are available Monday-Friday and are billable to most insurance. Call 503-338-7564 for more information and/or to schedule an appointment.
If you or someone you know wants to quit tobacco use or you want more educational materials or resources about tobacco cessation, do not hesitate to contact the CMH certified tobacco treatment specialist and tobacco cessation coordinator.

Zombie Crawl and anti-police protesters mix…
Zombie Crawl and anti-police protesters mix leading to arrests
Thousands dressed in costume roam the 16th Street Mall on Saturday for the Zombie Crawl in downtown Denver.
Zombie Crawl founder Danny Newman, left, makes his way east on the mall during the crawl.
By Ryan Parker | rparker@denverpost.com | The Denver Post
PUBLISHED: October 21, 2012 at 6:37 a.m. | UPDATED: April 28, 2016 at 5:43 p.m.
Some of the "walking dead" got a little out-of-hand this weekend as they roamed downtown Denver, joining with anti-police protesters and ending up in police custody.
Police made six arrests Saturday night during the seventh annual Zombie Crawl and third annual anti-police march, said John White, Denver police spokesman.
The six people were arrested for obstructing traffic in the 700 block of Park Avenue West, White said. It was not clear how many zombies were among those arrested.
"The non-permitted march started around 7 p.m. with about 35 individuals, then zombies joined in," White said.
This was the third Denver march "against police terrorism," according to the Denver Anarchist Black Cross website
"The march was attacked early on, as demonstrators and police contested control of the streets," the site states. "Demonstrators fought to hold ground, and a brief but brutal street fight erupted."
Police in riot gear were on hand in case the situation got out of control as the groups mixed.
The sidewalks up and down the 16th Street Mall were covered in fake blood, trash and broken glass as thousands participated in the zombie event.
At one point, some of the costumed zombies began encouraging protesters to "do something" as police monitored the situation.
Danny Newman, founder of the Denver Zombie Crawl, said he expected participation numbers to approach 15,000 for the day.
Despite the arrests and protests, White said he did not believe the event was any more chaotic than in years past.
Anti-police protesters were also arrested during their march in August.
At that time, protestors scattered in Civic Center park afterward and were generally protesting police violence, but said they also stood against homelessness, police profiling and greed.
The Zombie Crawl began in 2006 as a way to celebrate his birthday after he attended a similar event in San Francisco, according to Newman.

Recently our team had the opportunity to check out the beta of the third person MMO fighting game, ArcheBlade, and now we want to let you know the impressions we gathered about the game.
ArcheBlade is a 3rd person fighting game developed by CodeBrush Games, where players will participate in battles against other players controlling characters based on the Korean fantasy novel 'ArcheBlade'. In the game players may choose from a total of 13 unique characters at launch, with more to be added regularly, each one with their own weapons, skills, and a unique gameplay style. Swords play-style is different from guns, or scythes, and you must adjust your play to match that.
ArcheBlade focuses on exciting combat that use a combo system which provides the game with lots of different attacks and special moves. The game includes the typical team deathmatch mode, a free for all mode, as well as a capture the pylon mode. ArcheBlade uses the Steam functionalities, including achievements, in-game voice and more.
From the main menu, players can choose to join a random match by pressing the "Start Game" button, start a training session or join an active game server through the network play button.
The first thing we tried out was the training mode, where 11 characters were available to try out. The training mode was a little simplistic, without any options the only thing that was available was a training dummy to try out different attack combos and that's about it. You can press the H key to learn how to do the character moves, combos and special attacks but the characters only have a few different attack variations with little room for experimentation as the combos are short and simple.
After trying most of the characters, we decided that our character would be Valle, the Dragon Princess, a defensive character with the appearance of a semi-dragon girl armed with a huge hammer.
Each character has 2 unique abilities that activate when you fill a power bar, which increase when we attack our enemies. These skills are very powerful, and can change the course of a struggle if they are used properly. For example Valle has an aura of regeneration, and a shield that prevents damage for a few seconds. Other characters have skills that are able to generate invisibility fields, plant mines, or stun enemies.
A detail that we found interesting is that the characters that use guns or cannons, have a limited number of bullets by charger, which have to be reloaded when it's empty (refills are endless), losing valuable seconds doing it.
After practicing for a while with our character, we decided that we were already prepared to engage in combat. The game has 3 different maps, each with a unique game mode.
The first map was a typical team deathmatch, two teams of three players face off in a battle to get more kills than the opponent team, or reach a certain number of kill before the time is over. Simple. The battles of this mode are frantic, since map is very small, and that teamwork is very important, since with a little combination you can completely nullify an enemy and defeat him easily in seconds while it can do nothing.
In this way we realized the importance of block and dodge attacks, because those who control these abilities have a lot of advantage over those who rush into combat without thinking too much.
After a few games we tested the second map, a Free-for-all mode that unlike the first map is quite large and takes place in a castle with various levels. This game mode is chaotic, there are no allies, and all are enemies.
Then we tested the Netherdale map, which is set on an active volcano and the objective was capturing pylons and holding them in order to gain points, much like conquest modes that you would find in FPS titles. In this map team play and being attentive to what happens around us, are the decisive factors to winning, making this map is the most strategic of all.
The map that we liked most was the first, because the action is immediate and intense. In Netherdale we had a lot of fun too, but you depend too much on how your team play, which can become frustrating. The map that we liked the least was the Free-for-all mode, because it is too chaotic, and it is annoying to have an almost defeated enemy, then another player comes and kills you both without any difficulty. Also on this map ranged characters have some advantage, because when other players are engaged fighting, they can kill them safely from the distance.
The combat shows certain details that we didn't like. For example, enemies may enter at the point of the map where you respawn and kill you without giving you a choice, quite an unfair thing. Similarly if two characters stun you constantly, you can do nothing, since while you're stunned, you can't use any skills, which is somewhat frustrating because you're unable to do anything to prevent your defeat.
Another detail that we didn't like was the fact that on your life and shield bars do not regenerate out of combat (some skills heal life, and power-ups that heal health may appear in the map). I say this, because if you defeat an enemy and you're hurt, when your enemy respawns, you continue with the same health and shield.
Finally, we had the feeling that the game was a bit unbalanced with certain characters, because they killed the other characters with astonishing ease. It is also possible that their players were very good and we rather bad.
ArcheBlade runs on the Unreal Engine 3, providing fantastic graphics and impressive visual effects, as well as some smooth animation and fluid combat moves. The graphics are colorful and detailed characters and environments, which have a strong anime aesthetic. The combat is very fluid, and the visual effects are constant, so we will see detailed lightning, fireballs and explosions which delight us.
The sound of the game without having a spectacular soundtrack, makes you feel that you are participating in heroic combat, although sometimes can be a bit repetitive.
In conclusion ArcheBlade is a bright new title with a lot of potential, but is way too rough around the edges. With outstanding graphics and animations, intense action and a variety of unique characters, the game has several things that should be improved, like more variety of game modes and maps, and we believe that the combat should be more polished. However if you like fun and frantic action MMO, we recommend you to try it, because the game is free-to-play and you do not lose anything by trying it.

Most rollovers are subject to a 60 day rollover rule. This means that the tax laws say that most rollovers must occur within 60 days of your receipt of the funds. Because of this rule, you have a short period of time to set up the new retirement account and get the funds invested with your chosen savings vehicle. If you are either planning a rollover in the near future or have an account about to expire, please contact a rollover specialist. This simple act can save you thousands of your retirement dollars.
There is a good strategy to follow when faced with the need to rollover an investment. Being prepared and following a sound strategy can save you a substantial part of your savings. This plan would take into consideration the time the rollover has to occur, the account you are liquidating, the set up of the new account, then a seamless transfer of your savings account fund.
You already know when your IRA or other fund will expire or mature, so you'll need to decide what your new investment vehicle will be. With all the different options, it s best to speak with a good financial counselor first. Make certain this financial planner knows when your rollover must occur because there are some time constraints involved with setting up the mechanics of the transfer to reduce potential impact on your account.
Some accounts are set up with specific requirements regarding rollovers. If you don t know about yours or just don t understand the rules regarding your account, please seek professional advice. If the rules and requirements aren't strictly adhered to you can be subject to some pretty stiff penalties.
Before your old fund expires, you should have your new account set up. Make sure you have your account in place to accept the funds in accordance with your financial plan. The account receiving the rollover funds should be arranged with your specific needs considered and taken care of. Again, please seek professional guidance in all matters regarding your rollover.
It can be expensive to get a financial strategist to help you plan your rollover. If possible, seek out a professional rollover specialist that will offer free consultations. If you have no relationship with this person, then the advice you get is likely to be sound. Of course, we offer these free financial needs consultations and have many specialists in rollovers ready to advise and assist you. Simply fill out the form above and we'll be in touch.

We still live in Bukchon.
Facebook KakaoStory
It was 2 pm in the afternoon on a hot summer day. I visited Bukchon to take photos, but what I heard there was that there was nothing to see. People said it was a good place to just stop by every once in a while, so I was thinking about going to another place if needs be.
I started taking photos as a hobby three years ago, but it has not been that long since I became interested in film cameras. I began taking more photos with a film camera after I felt the charm in the smooth warmer feeling it has compared to using a digital camera. I thought that Bukchon would go well with the film camera because it was an old neighbourhood.
When I arrived at Anguk Station and left the exit, Gyedong Road and Insadong Road stood facing each other. People were crowded around Insadong. The entrance of Gyedong Road was relatively quiet and peaceful. I started walking toward Gyedong Road, being guided by the really old signs. Sweat ran down my back. It was clearly the beginning of summer.
Seoul Analogue Journey PATH
Gyedong-gil (계동길) – Pasta (파스타) – JungAng High School (중앙고등학교) – Bukchon Hanok Village (북촌 한옥마을) – Bukchon Observatory (북촌 전망대) – Jeongdok Public Library (정독도서관) – Poongnyeon Tteokbokki (풍년떡볶이) – Art Sonje Centre (아트선재센터)
When you walk along the street from Exit 3 of Anguk Station and turn left at the first corner you come to the start of Gyedong-gil. You are on the right track if you see the 'Choi Paediatric Hospital' sign that will remind you of the childhood doctors that gave you crushed up tablets folded in a white piece of paper. Along the fairly narrow streets, weathered old signs sometimes came into view.
Young men and women, who looked like university students, poured into the alley. With take-out coffee on one hand, they gathered in front of a sesame oil shop and took pictures as if it were a tourist site. "It is like the countryside." "It's amazing." "It's like a film set," they said, which was not an exaggeration. The word 'film set' made me smile, but I also felt a bit bitter.
'Daegu Sesame Oil House', located in the middle of Gyedong-gil, was doing a roaring trade. The glass in the old sliding door, that is a struggle to push open, shined like it was new. It felt clean and warm, like mum's kitchen.
Then, I smelled the oil which made my nose feel warm and gentle. It was obvious that I was smelling oil in front of an oil house, but my heart suddenly started pounding. The smell of the sesame oil was the same smell that comes from the people that have loved me for a long time, like my mum or my grandma.
Gyedong-gil had many more young designers' shops or cafés than I imagined. While maintaining the foundations of the Hanok (Korean traditional homes), clothing stores selling dresses and handicraft workshops were dotted here and there on the hill. Taking a closer look, I realised that the Hanok were newly built. There were still wet wooden frames in the background and foreigners were there taking pictures of the place. I briefly thought about what image of Korea they would remember.
A public bathhouse sign that looked old strangely had word pasta written on it. Perhaps marketing of this kind is Bukchon's own unique colour. Bukchon, which I thought to be an old town, was a young space with plenty of fresh new ideas. I went in that restaurant and instead of an air conditioner they were using a fan. The pasta, which came out in a lunchbox, embodied Bukchon's appearance. It was new and yet a familiar appearance.
As I reached the end of Gyedong-gil, I saw JungAng High School. The school's iron door that seemed endlessly high and big during my school years was now widely open for the weekend. As if it were calling people to come back to their childhood.
The old main building seen from the main gate was covered with seasonal blue ivy and gave off a very mysterious feeling. If you were someone who experienced drinking tap water during your P.E. class in high school, it would be the same for you to pause and stand for a while when you see the old tap in the field. Stretching beyond the tap is the deep green grass of the school field. I decided to take a rest for a while and enjoy the feeling of returning to my school days.
In fact, JungAng High School is a very old school. It is hard to imagine just how old it is when you look at how well the facilities are managed, but it is a historical place that came through Korea's modern history with us. The fact that this school, which was founded in 1908, was the birthplace of the March 1st Independence Movement is probably the pride and joy of the students. Furthermore, the school also led the June 10th Movement, and thus the entire place has great monumental value. Now the place of learning for students and a rest area for citizens, JungAng High School felt totally new to me.
When I left the school, I could see the whole of Gyedong-gil in one glance. All the houses that stood peacefully together around the elaborate alley felt familiar and warm. To the right, there was another uphill road. I ran out of breath. But I didn't feel tired. It was a pleasant tiredness, like the feeling you get when climbing a mountain together with other people.
Old Village Bukchon, and Its People #1
There is a new way to look around every part of Bukchon. It is an Atti Rickshaw.
You could say it's an analogue-shaped real-time news source that delivers the new face of Bukchon straight to the customer.
Let's explore every corner of Bukchon on a rickshaw running on three wheels.
All of you will say that you cannot help falling in love with Bukchon and the warm smell of the people.
When I left Gyedong-gil and crossed a small road, I found an alley lined with Hanok. Unlike the new Hanok buildings that I met on my way up to Gyedong-gil, I felt the smell of the old times. This is it! I pressed the camera shutter continuously.
The roof tiles and bricks here felt warm and smooth, somehow like my grandma's hands. Instead of pressing the shutter, I carefully touched a brick with my hand. It was because I wanted to feel the heartbeat of the house, even though I knew that was not possible.
The shape of the eave edging, rising high toward the sky, was elegant and cheerful. I became amazed by our ancestors who created such curves so long ago even without any machinery to help. There are many other things besides the curves of the Hanok that we may have forgotten because they were too familiar to us. What were they? I somehow felt that I'd be able to find many of these things in Bukchon. Didn't people walking in Bukchon visit this old village because they were attracted by such feelings of deprivation and loss?
This may be why Bukchon is such a 'hot' spot for people nowadays. In fact, the word, 'nowadays' is a bit ridiculous. Before Bukchon Hanok Village became famous as a tourist site through the reconstruction and preservation policy around 2000, Bukchon was already highly reputed as the residence of high officials during Joseon Dynasty.
Everyone who's visited Bukchon at least once knows why. If you reach Bukchon Observatory by walking up the Gyedong alleyway, surrounded by an old commercial district, you will see a panorama of downtown Seoul before you, and feel the force of Bukak Mountain towering behind you. If there did not exist the present concrete jungle, it is the culmination of the perfect natural location with a full view overlooking Cheonggyecheon.
When I climbed to the top of Hanok Village, I got a glimpse of Namsan. Sometimes, there were work spaces where young artists' dreams were sprouting in the corners of the Hanok streets. I thought that it was a great place to dream, as I gazed upon the wide open view.
I discovered a small sign saying 'Bukchon Observatory' near the end of Hanok Village. I followed the arrows and went up as I wanted to take more proper pictures of scenery.
I've seen many kinds of observatories throughout my life. When I was a child, observatory binoculars were so amazing as the dim glasses gradually brightened up when you put your 500 won coin in. Also, in seeing the world across on the other side through the binoculars made it all feel so much shorter. I remember those places, with rusty rails and fences, they made you feel dizzy and scared, even just by looking at them.
However, Bukchon Observatory was different. I could look down upon Bukchon as much as I wanted if I bought only one cup of coffee and gathered up all the coins I had to put into the binoculars.
Bukchon was presenting a relaxed smile, like our mothers do in their hometowns, greeting the people that come and go from the place. The Bukchon that I looked down upon from Bukchon Observatory was like that. In some places people sat comfortably in the café terraces drinking coffee, and while looking at some other areas, I could see a Bukchon that was old, with warm sentiments. The people coming and going in the alley became a scene in itself.
Old Village Bukchon and Its People #2
Bukchon, where the wind of change is blowing. Besides the franchise coffee shops that are joining the place one by one, there is a café that has solidly kept its location for 9 years. Rather than saying "it kept its location", saying "it took root" is more apt description for Café 'Yeondu,' where the people who love Bokchon love to gather.
Cafe Yeondu?
"It is a coffee shop that was established in Bukchon in 2006. We decided to settle here because we liked how it was close to Jeongdok Public Library, had small and large museums nearby, and was quiet, above all, when we first came to the village. Actually, Yeondu is more like a community than an individual's store. So Yeondu and shops named 'Coffee and People' are friends that started based on the same grounds. Its distinctive feature is that it has been drip brewing since the beginning of café. It holds coffee lessons once a week as a month-long course.
Changing Bukchon?
"It has changed a lot since Yeondu was first established in Bukchon." There are more tourists and the shops nearby have changed too. It's a little sad as Bukchon's own color has faded compared to before, but I think changes are natural. But we hope more people who visit here take care of Bukchon. "
Tip ! Bukchon's attractions as recommended by Bukchon Locals
"Personally, I'd like to introduce Bukchon nights rather than a certain place. I think visitors to Bukchon mainly consider it as a tourist site, but for us Bukchon is a town where we live. It is hard to feel Bukchon's own atmosphere during the daytime when so many people visit here, but you will be able to see the true character of the village after the sun sets. The course to enjoy at night that I especially recommend is Gahwoi-dong Hanok Village. It is also pretty during the day, but it is really romantic to walk the Hanok Village in darkness with your lover. "
The sun almost set, but the humid and sultry weather didn't cool down easily. Then, I saw the entrance of Jeongdok Public Library. The library entrance was familiar and unorganised like a park in a town, rather than a library. Mums who carried their crying children on their back were sitting on the benches at the library entrance and were talking to each other. I could see Bukchon people wherever I went in Bukchon, so I felt very comfortable here, as if I had come to my old town.
Like many places in Bukchon, this has a quite long history. Jeongdok Public Library, which opened on January 4th 1977, was the old site of Gyeonggi High School. Many people were pursuing their passions in a place where outstanding students' dreams and hopes were growing all the time.
Of course, Jeongdok Public Library was not the only building that has firmly stood on this place. During the military regime, the Royal Geneology building that used to be the office of Joseon Dynasty's relatives, was forcefully relocated to the front of Jeongdok Public Library. It is not that long ago that the Royal Geneology building returned to its original site at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art. In winter 2013, Gyeonggeundang and Okcheopdang of the Royal Geneology buildings were moved from Jeongdok Public Library, which can now stand on its own again.
The streets of Bukchon after the heat of the midday sun were crowded with many people. I saw a young mum who was giving Shikhye she bought at a store in Bukchon to her young child. The child who was a little too big to sit on a stroller enjoyed drinking Shikhye contained in a take-out cup. The child will remember Bukchon with the sweet and cool taste of Shikhye on a hot summer's day.
'Poongnyeon Rice Farm was busy with people pouring into a Tteokbokki shop right next to it. Couples who lined up to sit on old chairs looked happy. Steam rolled up from the Tteokbokki put on the plates. The couples will remember and talk About their childhood when they ate this food first the first time and did not know each other.
There was the Art Sonje Center in the place that borders with Samcheongdong. Bukchon and an art museum. They seemed to go well together, but at the same time, not go well together. It was as if I met a childhood friend again after I got older. The feeling of discovering a great side of the friend that I never felt during childhood.
Art Sonje Center gave a more refined and classy feeling as lights started turning on. Founded in 1998, this center is known as a place that displays young and experimental modern art. The spectrum of the exhibitions are varied including art, music, culture, architecture, dance, and fashion. These busy and endless movements are probably the magic flavors that make Bukchon Village 'old but not outdated.'
Born and raised in Bukchon, Mr. Sang-eon Lee who looks young, is a Bukchon local. I listened to the stories of Bukchon's hidden attractions and its image from the perspective of a resident, from someone who grew up in Bukchon.
What kind of a place is Bukchon?
Many people visit Bukchon these days. But I sometimes feel sorry because they experience Bukchon from a tourist's perspective and cannot see its true colours. Bukchon has more meaning beyond taking pictures in front of Hanok and buying pretty accessories on streets. Among them, I would say that Bukchon real charm is being is a space with the warm smell of people. Every corner of the village has been visited and touched by people. I sometimes hear children playing when I'm taking a walk on alleys, and at that moment, I really love this place.
What is Bukchon's charm?
If you're curious about what kind of place Bukchon really is, try walking along the wall of Changdeokgoong. You will find where the certain point where the palace wall and citizens' houses meet each other after walking along the stonewall walkway. This was unimaginable when Changdeokgoong was built. Houses built leaning against the palace wall. Sometimes you can see laundry hanging outside. Likewise, Bukchon is where you can feel the smell of the people. You will feel as if you're retuning to the old days if you go further inside. Houses, shops, and the scenery. On the other hand, you will see Namsan Tower or modern buildings on your way out from Bukchon. I think this is the charm of Bukchon. It is a unique place where disappearing things and new things coexist.
Samcheong Park! It is a small forest hidden in the urban centre. The fact that it is a quiet place, as it is not known to that many people, makes it unique and distinct in Bukchon, a popular place these days. There is a natural bathhouse inside the small park, and it is made of water that flows down from the mountain. I often splash cold water on my body there in the summer after the rainy season is over. It is a great place to be thankful as it becomes a rest area for people who need a break, and a playground for people who come here to play.
Bukchon after sunset, shined brightly again with lights on here and there. A day ended, and a new time was beginning. Everything in Bukchon had a quiet and yet unending force that made me feel humble as I was already tired after walking for half the day. It is probably because 'people' never stopped visiting the place. People do not abandon old things but, rather, continuously take care of them and gently touch them. As everyone is enduring these times in their own way, the people of Bukchon live in various ways that make their life valuable.
As people in the school field of JungAng High School are not only students, and as mothers with babies sitting on the benches of Jeongdok Public Library and share stories with each other, everyone in Bukchon right now, are the people of Bukchon. It must have been difficult to make Bukchon an old but not outdated village without such awareness. I stared down at my camera I was carrying. What pictures did I take here? Did I reflect the times and people that stayed here properly? I felt that I would regret a bit no matter what pictures are printed. I think I will visit Bukchon again, somehow.

Emphasis will be on symptom recognition, biology and management of shade and ornamental tree and shrub diseases. Topics can be structured according to audience preferences (Diagnosing Plant Health Problems; Managing Plant Health Problems, People Pressure Diseases; Rose Diseases; Perennial Disappointments, Hosta diseases, etc). This subject can be scheduled in conjunction with Horticulture and/or Entomology specialists.
Presentations address the disease management concerns of commercial vegetable growers with emphasis on major Indiana vegetable crops including melons, tomatoes, peppers, and pumpkins. Extension educators are invited and encouraged to attend because contemporary topics in vegetable disease control in the Midwest will be discussed. The program can be conducted alone or as part of a comprehensive vegetable production and management program with counterparts in entomology and horticulture. Disease symptoms, disease cycles, and specific control options such as resistant varieties, cultural control methods and fungicides are part of each discussion. Presentations can be tailored to fit the needs of specific clientele groups (e.g. melon growers, pepper growers, tomato growers, etc.).
The 1-1.5 hr presentation will include a general introduction to the art and science of plant disease diagnosis; epidemiology and diagnosis of selected plant diseases; proper sampling and response protocols for the selected suspect high risk pathogens; how the National Plant Diagnostic Network assists in surveillance for invasive/exotic plant diseases.
This presentation will discuss vegetable diseases one might expect to find in a greenhouse situation. The discussion can focus on transplant growers or greenhouse production of vegetables. Time will be spent on how to recognize plant diseases and differentiate diseases from environmental problems. Since many common fungicides are not labeled for greenhouse use, this presentation will emphasize prevention. Greenhouse sanitation and resistant varieties will also be discussed.
Mycotoxins Farmers, Elevator Managers, Feed Mill Operators 30 minutes to 1 hour. This is a good program as a joint presentation with other programs that cover management of stored grain.
The presentation covers the following topics: 1) what are mycotoxins and why are they important, 2) toxicity to animals and potential threat to human health, 3) government regulations and trade issues, 4) how mycotoxin get into grain (preharvest and post harvest), 5) management practices to prevent mycotoxin contamination, and 6) methods for detecting and measuring mycotoxins in grain. One additional goal of the presentation is to provide the rationale for drying grain for storage and to put this information into the context of controlling mold growth and mycotoxin production.
Presentations address the disease management concerns of the golf course and commercial turf grass industry. Disease symptoms, disease cycles, and specific control options (cultural, chemical and biological) are part of each discussion. The program can be conducted alone or as part of a comprehensive turf grass management program with counterparts in agronomy and entomology.
Foliar fungicides have not traditionally been used on corn and soybean, mainly for economic reasons. However, some recently registered products are being strongly promoted for use on these crops. Many growers of these crops have had little experience with fungicides. This presentation will include trial data from Purdue and elsewhere on performance of these products and discuss how weather, genetic resistance of a variety or hybrid, and crop cultural practices can influence the performance of and economic return from fungicide application. Direct and indirect benefits of disease control will be illustrated. The concept of disease thresholds and the importance of proper timing of applications will be discussed.
Weed Management for Agronomic Crops Educators, Producers, Agribusiness, Consultants, Industry Agronomists, Public, etc. 1 to 4 hours. Variable depending on topics selected.
One or more of the above topics may be selected for an individual program, or combined with programs offered by other departments as part of an all day program. Specific topics may also be selected for the Interdepartmental Insect, Weed and Disease Management for Agronomic Crops program.
