What's in the Name? Imprecise Designation of the Arbitral Tribunal in the Arbitration Clause
When faced with an almost identical issue in the course of arbitration proceedings, Swiss and Russian arbitrators or courts seem to reach different conclusions.
A common issue in arbitration is an imprecise designation of the arbitral tribunal in an arbitration clause. This article considers the effect of such flawed arbitration clauses in the light of contractual interpretation principles in Switzerland and Russia.
Interpretation of an Arbitration Clause in Switzerland
Pursuant to Swiss case law, inclusion of the exact name of an arbitral tribunal in an arbitration clause is not a minimum mandatory requirement.
However, an arbitral tribunal must be determinable. Whether the parties expressly agree the arbitral tribunal formation procedure or do so by reference to arbitration rules, it is equally valid.
Therefore, an imprecise or flawed designation of an arbitral tribunal should not result in the ineffectiveness of the arbitration clause if it is possible to determine by means of interpretation of the clause which arbitral tribunal the parties intended to designate.
Assuming the existence of the arbitration clause is not in question or has been established, Swiss courts interpret the clause broadly.
They will do so, firstly, by looking at the actual common intention of the parties, and, then, if the actual common intention of the parties is not certain, by using objective interpretation.
Decision of the Swiss Supreme Court
Decision BGE 129 III 675 concerns the interpretation of the term "Commercial court" in an arbitration clause.
A Croatian and a German party entered into a sale and purchase agreement. The arbitration clause, headed "Arbitration" (in Croatian "ARBITRAZA"), provided that (translated from Croatian) "… it is hereby agreed the jurisdiction of Commercial court in Zurich (in Croatian "Trgovacki sud Zürich"), canton Zurich, Swiss material law shall apply."
After the Zurich Commercial (state) court ("Handelsgericht") declined to accept jurisdiction, the claimant filed a request for arbitration with the Zurich Chamber of Commerce. The arbitrator appointed by the ZCC accepted jurisdiction. The Swiss Supreme Court, when deciding the jurisdictional challenge, confirmed the jurisdiction of the arbitrator appointed by the ZCC and rejected the challenge.
The court reasoned that the parties – objectively interpreted – had intended to refer the matter to arbitration. Therefore, the designation "Commercial court" in Zurich, was – objectively interpreted – not a state court but a reference to institutional arbitration. As the arbitral institution was described imprecisely, the question was then which arbitration court the parties intended.
The court further reasoned that it was likely that the parties intended to refer the dispute to arbitration to the Zurich Chamber of Commerce, this being the only arbitral institution with its seat in Zurich which facilitated international arbitration proceedings.
Decision of Russia's Supreme Arbitrazh Court ("Высший Арбитражный Суд РФ")
Decision № ВАС 8147/12, OOO Kubik v OOO Regus Business Centre Metropolis, concerns the interpretation of the term "a commercial court" in an arbitration clause. (See also Russian SCC to Consider a "Problematic" Arbitration Clause.)
The parties entered into a commercial lease agreement with an arbitration clause, drafted in English, providing that "… any dispute… shall be submitted to a commercial court and finally settled by it in accordance with the rules of the ICAC… The place of arbitration shall be Moscow".
The ICAC accepted jurisdiction and rendered arbitral award № 163/2009 against OOO Kubik. Upon Kubik's application, the arbitral award was set aside by the Moscow Arbitrazh Court ("Арбитражный суд города Москвы"), whose decision was subsequently confirmed by the Supreme Arbitrazh Court ("Высший Арбитражный Суд РФ").
The court reasoned that the arbitration clause did not expressly state the name of the ICAC as an arbitral tribunal empowered to settle disputes between the parties to the contract. A mere reference to the ICAC Rules was not sufficient to confer jurisdiction upon the ICAC.
According to the court, the reference to the ICAC Rules meant that the arbitral tribunal was to be appointed pursuant to the ICAC Rules. However, the ICAC was not meant, within the court's understanding, to be the appointing authority. Hence, the arbitral tribunal appointed by the ICAC had no jurisdiction.
It would seem that the interpretation of the arbitration clause by the Russian court was narrow.
Article 431 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (Contractual interpretation) provides that, first, the court should look at the literal meaning of the wording, failing which the court should determine the actual common intention of the parties.
Russian legal writing admits that, when it is not possible to determine the actual common intention of the parties, the court should use objective interpretation, i.e. according to the understanding of a reasonable person.
However, in the Kubik v Regus matter, the Russian court did not go further than the literal interpretation of the arbitration clause, without determining the parties' intention.
Let it be ad hoc
The Russian court applied a literal interpretation to the arbitration clause. It came to the conclusion that the wording "a commercial court" and the reference to the ICAC Rules signified ad hoc arbitration in accordance with the ICAC Rules.
The court reasoned that nothing in the ICAC Rules prevents other arbitral tribunals from applying them. Thus, ad hoc tribunals may also apply the ICAC Rules.
It is questionable whether the literal meaning of the wording "a commercial court" in this context is indeed an "ad hoc arbitration". One may criticise the court for not attempting to establish the parties' intention.
The Swiss court, by contrast, considered that the wording "arbitration… in Commercial court" is to be interpreted objectively as a reference to institutional arbitration.
That which we call an arbitral tribunal by any other name would not necessarily smell as sweet.

No, I don't mean on an energy-efficient treadmill. Get a wild workout the good old-fashioned way—doing chores. According to Nicolette Loizou of the Ecologist (article not available online), Green Gyms, which are gaining popularity in the UK, revolve around the idea of conservation and gardening volunteerism as a workout. The UK now has 95 Green Gyms, where you can expend your calories while nurturing the great outdoors.
BTCV, a charitable environmental organization in Doncaster, UK, began its Green Gym 10 years ago. More than 10,000 people have since volunteered to improve local green spaces, as well as their own fitness. Typical tasks can be anything from digging soil and planting trees to sawing logs for building a sheep enclosure. And just like a workout routine with a personal trainer, BTCV leads groups in pre-workout warm-up exercises.
Aside from the obvious benefits of improving physical health and our natural surroundings, participants felt that the skills they learned helped to improve their mental health, self-esteem and confidence, reports Loizou.
A single Green Gym session usually lasts around three hours—for free. So instead of hiking it across spinning rubber, grab a shovel and dig—a tree is waiting to be planted. Exercise never felt so worthwhile.

Join the inGenious Communities of Practice, online chats and workshops!!
Two Communities of Practice will be launched on 12 March: all teachers will be able to join on Monday.
The first Community of Practice is about Technology and is organised by FutureLab and European Schoolnet.
Thanks to the second Community of Practice, you will learn how to contact a company for collaboration on STEM Education. It is organised by JetNet and European Schoolnet.
The first online chat about Innovative Chemistry is already programmed for 27 March.
During the inGenious project live online chats with representatives of industry, school guidance counsellors, etc, will be organized. These chats will display role models in industry, discuss career development in STEM and other topics connected with working in STEM careers and STEM education which will provide pupils a more informed image of jobs and careers in this area.
Find out more in the Teacher Community.
From 16th April until 27th May, the Polytechnic Institute of Setúbal (Portugal) and European Schoolnet are holding the third of nine Communities of Practice on the inGenious website, taking a closer look at how schools and industry can work together on STEM education.
The third Community of Practice looks at Scratch, the new networked, media-rich programming language that makes it easy to work cooperatively, communicate and share creations online. Youngsters seem to be increasingly passive consumers, less motivated intrinsically for learning at school. How can tools like Scratch take advantage of young people's ease with ICT to create stimulating and motivating learning environments, where students can play an active role building their own knowledge with the help from teachers and peers?
Teachers from across Europe have the chance to participate in online discussions guided by our expert. Week by week, the topic of discussion will move through various aspects of the community's subject. You are welcome to share ideas, explore new ways of working, raise questions, seek answers and join in the debate with other professionals in education from across Europe.
At the end of each of the six-week communities, the discussions are written up and fed back into the inGenious project, to be presented to high-level stakeholders and circulated throughout the European inGenious community. Nine Communities of Practice will be held in total, addressing a wide range of topics.

What to Do If Your iOS Device is Asking You to Sign-In To Someone Else's Apple ID
By Mike Peterson 7 comments Last updated June 6, 2018
If your iOS or Mac device keeps asking you to sign in to a different Apple ID, you probably know how frustrating it can be.
That's especially true since the reason behind it isn't readily clear (assuming the device in question is actually signed into your own iTunes and iCloud account).
The author of this piece (me) has personally run into this problem, and it can be incredibly annoying. Luckily, the author has also figured out why this happens in most cases and how to fix it. Here's what you need to know.
1 The Issue
2 Why This Happens
3 The Fix
In the vast majority of cases, this issue is tied to the apps on your device. Basically, when you download an app with an Apple ID, Apple counts that as a purchase — even if it's a free app. It also associates that "purchase" with the Apple ID that made it.
As such, if you have apps that were "purchased" under someone else's Apple ID, you'll need to log in to their account to do anything with the app other than open and use it.
Usually, that means this problem appears when iOS or macOS is attempting to download an update for that app — whether it's automatic or you've manually initiated it. Before that update can be downloaded, Apple will need you to log in with the Apple ID that "purchased" (downloaded) the app in the first place.
Even if you can easily get that person to log in, it's inconvenient to rely on someone else whenever you want to download an update. If you can't get them to log in, then you're sort of stuck. That is unless you understand the problem and know how to fix it.

How to Fix your Disabled Apple Id
How To Change an Apple Id you no longer have access to
Why This Happens
This can occur if you're using a Mac or iOS device that had a previous owner and that device wasn't factory reset or otherwise wiped properly. Those apps, even free ones, are still associated with the original Apple ID.
You can also run into this problem if you're using iTunes associated with one Apple ID to back up and restore a device that's logged into another account.
For example, if you use your iTunes to help a friend backup and restore their device, some of the apps stored on your computer might be transferred over. Of course, this also works the other way around: like if you're restoring from a backup on someone else's iTunes on Mac or PC.
This only seems to be the case for apps that are already on the iOS device in question but are also stored on the computer you're using. Common culprits include major social media platforms and other popular apps.
That's because iTunes tries to get as much data locally as it can. Rather than download apps from the App Store, it simply uses the data already on a computer to sync.
Unfortunately, if you have an app "purchased" by a different Apple ID, you're sort of out of luck.
That means the only way to fix the issue is to delete the apps that were purchased by that other account. From there, you can re-download and install them with your own Apple ID.
On the other hand, if you have a lot of apps, sometimes it can be tricky to tell which specific ones are the culprit. The App Store doesn't readily let you know which apps are which.
Luckily, you can mitigate this problem by simply backing up to iCloud and then restoring from that backup. If you do that, usually, the offending apps will be re-downloaded from the App Store under the proper Apple ID.
Alternatively, you can use iTunes on your own computer. When you attempt to sync or backup, iTunes will alert you that some purchases can't be transferred. If you restore from backup on this computer, it should solve the problem.
As always, an ounce of prevention equals a pound of cure. That seems to be especially true for this case. The best way to "fix" this problem is to avoid it.
iTunes Backups are great, but if you use iCloud as your primary backup method, you won't run into this issue.
Whenever possible, avoid using an iTunes app that's logged into a different account than the device you're backing up or restoring.
If you have to use someone else's iTunes, it might be worth deleting common apps that are shared between that device and yours. Just re-install them when you're done restoring.
When you buy, inherit or otherwise get your hands on someone else's device, make sure to perform a Factory Reset to completely wipe it of existing data.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I gave my iPhone 6 to my Granddaughter and she has a new Apple ID for her phone. Somehow her ID is on my new iPhone 7! I've tried following your advice to get rid of her ID permanently on my phone but cannot seem to delete it completely!
It sounds like that old iPhone 6 is still linked to your account. Have you checked your icloud account in a browser to make sure that the iPhone 6 is NOT showing up under your list of devices–do the same for your granddaughters account to ensure your iPhone 7 isn't showing up under her list of devices.
Ian Todaro says
Fixed the problem! Couldn't do anything on my new XR because I kept getting prompts to sign into my friend's Apple IDs (accounts). Most likely when we shared music via iTunes years ago. So thought I'd try to delete songs that were not "mine" living in my iPhone's iTunes library.
1. Plugged in my new XR to my Macbook pro (running Catalina operating system).
2. Followed steps listed in apple support to sync iTunes library to phone (I've included relevant steps below).
Open a Finder window and connect your device to your computer using a USB cable.
Your device appears in the sidebar of the Finder window. Click the device to select it.
If prompted, trust your device.
Good advice. Thank you for sharing it with us and paying it forward. Awesome!

I had purchased an iphone 4s and it had no icloud on it.
I signed into mine and all worked perfectly. been using it and i thought let me do a restore to make it faster.
Now it wants someone else to sign in?
obviously i did not steal, it it was a legit bought? i can see it was used on my icloud account.
Ramz says
I have the exact problem with my 6 plus, after doing a restore using itunes it requests for someone else's apple id. Did you manage to fix it?
AP says
I just had the same thing happen with my 8 plus after I reset it and restored my icloud backup, it was asking for the password for someone else's ID to restore an app/s. I bought my phone brand new and no one else has used it, it's so weird! Why does this happen??

After making it clear to an anticreationist that we are prepared to 'put it on the line' concerning clear implications of the Bible's cosmology, he comes back with more.
Can Christians be deceived by supernatural phenomena to the extent that they reinterpret Scripture? Many do, but don't realise it!
One of the strongest arguments for the historicity and authority of Genesis is that Jesus quoted it that way. But what about some of the books that Jude quoted?
Do we really confess Jesus as God? To understand New Testament confessions, it is important to understand the Old Testament basis. Many Old Testament references to God/YHWH/Jehovah are applied to Jesus.
Is evidence for evolution really evidence for creation? If Genesis is untrue, what does this say about the rest of Scripture?
The lack of fossils of pre-Flood people is understandable, but where are the fossils of post-Flood people—shouldn't there be lots?
So who made the Maker? Does this argument mean there was no maker at all? What are the implications for Christianity v atheism?
Would the discovery of a real live alien falsify the Bible? What's the Biblical view?
What exactly was divided in Peleg's day, and how? How should we understand the meaning of words in Scripture?
Secular scientists are continually expressing astonishment at the complexity they find in creatures they presume to be primitive, and at the fact that they contain a proportion of DNA sequences identical to those in humans.
Do snakes really 'eat dust' as the Bible says? And can salt really lose its saltiness, as Jesus said?
The 'selfish gene' idea is being used to teach evolution. But surely a mindless gene can't really exhibit selfishness, so what does it mean, and does it really support evolution?
Why did God create mankind? Was it that God was lonely, or that He wanted companions for His son Jesus?
Richard Dawkins, asked for an example of a mutation that can be seen to add information to the genome, failed to answer. A defender claims the question was not legitimate.
What is 'selfish gene' theory? And is the palmaris longus muscle in the arm 'vestigial'?
Why do new fossils refuse to conform to evolutionists' expectations? And can personalities be downloaded and updated?
Be wary of evolutionary indoctrination arriving in your mail box—or stamp collection.
Have there really been people with functioning tails, and if so, are they vestigial?
What should Christians think of vaccines? Do they have immoral sources? The response reaffirms our principle of being pro-Bible rather than anti-establishment for its own sake.
Does it matter what we believe about origins? Isn't helping the poor more important? The response explains why the issue of origins does matter in many ways—including helping the poor.
Can Christians co-opt secular psychology's idea of 'externalizing anxiety' to reach UFO believers who resist 'logic' and 'evidence'?
Is all speciation post-Flood, or did some speciation occur pre-Flood? Did people breed sheep and goats before the Flood?
An anticreationist attacks biblical creation as heresy, although biblical heresy is an oxymoron. The response also refutes a common argument about the absence of short-lived isotopes, beloved of atheists and progressive creationists, and answers some alleged biblical contradictions.
Antitheists argue against any challenge to their materialism, but use many fallacies to do so. Richard Dawkins is a prime example in his recent tirade against Michael Behe.
Why did God find favour only with Noah if Methuselah was still alive? And if 'supergerms' really are super, how could a dosing of 'dirt-common' germs defeat them?
Leviathan has long been a puzzle, but a likely solution is in sight. A major problem was the limits on the information that fossils can provide.
Is atheism simply non-belief or an active belief? Who has the 'burden of proof': atheists or theists.
How did people who lived prior to Jesus' time get saved, as they could not have put their faith in him? And how does that apply to Muslims?
An enquirer asks about 'Southwest Colorado Man'. This gives an opportunity to discuss some of the other amazing 'human evolution' claims made on the basis of fragmentary evidence.
Why is there suffering in the world? And how do we explain some of the 'harsh' laws of the Old Testament?
Why did God create us in the first place, if He knew we were going to sin—wouldn't that make God responsible for sin?
Why disagreements over Revelation are generally qualitatively different to those over Genesis.
Was the US Government really behind 9/11? Is destructive weather really being generated by secret 'scalar interferometry' weapons? Are such claims true, and what should Christians do about it?
A reader brings up an ancient dilemma about God and goodness. A biblical understanding grasps both horns of the dilemma.
Evolution is claimed to be essential for biology, but it is really irrelevant. Common structures and natural selection are NOT evolution.
A supporter asks for help in answering challenges posed by Darwinists.
How should creationists respond? Should we oppose evolutionary curricula outright?
Exercising faith over fact, botanist Hugo de Vries triumphantly proclaimed a plant he bred to be a newly evolved species. Sadly, a century later some evolutionists still use his discredited example.
Carbon–dating sometimes gives negative dates, i.e. dates for events that have not yet happened.
Eve told the Serpent that God commanded no touching the forbidden fruit, when He had simply said don't eat. Was humanity's first sin Eve lying?
Grateful reader of Alien Intrusion has questions. Descriptions of 'alien encounters' often match cultural expectations.
How does information relate to biology: identifying the different levels. And does a science experiment prove that God spoke things into existence?
While many sceptics claim that creationist qualifications are fraudulent, in reality CMI's and almost all other creationist scientists have genuine degrees. Why do old- and young-earth creationists disagree?
Many claim that Genesis creation is a mere side issue. But without Creation and the Fall, there is no basis for Redemption. Further, as shown, it has demonstrable outreach benefits.
Many atheists barely even attempt a reasoned argument. The response shows that consistent Christianity provides the only logical basis for morality, charity, reason and science.
Many alleged contradictions in Scripture are solved by pointing out Jewish citation methods, and distinguishing thematic from chronological order.
Reader asks whether modern fertility methods such as IVF and surrogacy are biblically acceptable.
Reader objects to Darwin–Hitler link, blames Christianity for slavery, racism and the Crusades. We respond, and point out the Christian basis for the abolition of slavery in Britain 200 years ago this year.

When the cast of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air cast reunited for a candid conversation on HBO Max in 2020, it was the first time in 27 years that Will Smith had spoken to former co-star Janet Hubert. The reunion gave them a chance to put their long-held feud to rest, and over a year after they put their past behind them, Smith honored Hubert with a sweet message on her birthday.
Janet Hubert played Aunt Viv on the NBC sitcom when it premiered in 1990, but there was a lot of tension on the set surrounding contract negotiations, and Hubert left after three seasons. Daphne Maxwell Reid replaced Hubert as Aunt Viv for the second half of the series' six-season run.
Since The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Reunion on HBO Max, however, Will Smith and Janet Hubert's feud is a thing of the past, and on January 13, the King Richard star shared a couple of photos of the actress on Instagram, including a classic throwback of the two of them from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, along with a sweet message on her special day.
It's so good to see that Will Smith and Janet Hubert have truly seemed to put their past issues behind them. Even in Smith's message about another trip around the sun, there's the reminder of the passage of time and years wasted between the two. Hubert has said they keep in touch and have a very good relationship now, and she thinks if they'd been able to have a conversation back then, the feud wouldn't have gone on so long.
Timing is everything though, and the actors had to get over a lot of pain to get to the right place to be able to communicate. Will Smith has called the conversation they had at the reunion "one of the most healing experiences of my life," and said it played a big part in his being able to write his memoir, Will, which came out late in 2021.
Janet Hubert's beef with Will Smith over the years included her saying that Smith screwed everyone over on the show, and she reacted to a previous reunion of the rest of the cast by saying that she had "no interest in seeing any of these people on that kind of level."
Thank goodness she changed her mind! Otherwise she'd miss out on messages like this birthday post from someone who was present for such a big part in her life at one time. These days it's just a regular love fest between the actors. Janet Hubert even raved about Will Smith's latest movie, King Richard, saying she got emotional because she could relate to being a Black girl who loved playing tennis as a child.
All six seasons and the reunion special of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air are streaming on HBO Max, and be sure to check out our 2022 TV Schedule to see what shows are premiering soon.

UFC Fight Night 79 Bonuses: Doo Ho Choi's impressive return to action garners extra $50K
By Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief
This morning's UFC Fight Night 79 event in Seoul, South Korea, was full of action, giving the UFC plenty of options for post-fight bonuses. They decided on Dominique Steele, Doo Ho Choi, Seo Hee Ham, and Cortney Casey for the $50,000 awards.
Steele took his in the first bout of the night, beating up late replacement "Maestro" Dong Hyun Kim (not to be confused with the night's co-main event winner) before knocking him out in brutal fashion with a slam in the third round. He picked him up high and sent him down violently; their heads clashed, and Steele landed another few strikes to put him out cold.
The 24-year-old Choi signed with the UFC in November of 2013, but didn't make his debut for a full year because of injury. He impressed in that debut with an 18 second finish over Juan Puig, but injury kept him out another full year before Saturday night. He impressed once more, however, taking out Sam Sicilia in a minute in a half for the other "Performance of the Night" award.
Ham and Casey put forth one of the better strawweight fights in the division's young history in the UFC, earning each a bonus for the "Fight of the Night." Ham wound up taking a unanimous decision in a close fight, as her relentless attack wound up doing tons of damage, while Casey continued to fire back throughout the fight. It was as good as we've seen from the 115 lb. women in the UFC outside of perhaps a couple of Joanna Jedrzejczyk's performances.

Threat of major redundancy plan looms over La Perla
Dominique Muret
After a few years' respite, the threat of a major redundancy plan is again looming over La Perla. The plan affects between 100 and 120 employees working at the Bologna headquarters and ateliers of the long-established Italian luxury lingerie label, about one quarter of La Perla's 430 employees. The unions immediately called a 16-hour strike.
The threat of a redundancy plan is looming over La Perla's Italian headquarters- laperla.com
The unions underlined that La Perla's announcement didn't mention any recovery plan. The senior management, in a communique cited on Italian media, simply stated that the company "has undertaken a restructuring plan involving the rationalisation of those functions that aren't linked with direct production." An operation that "has become necessary to enable [La Perla] to ensure the continuity of the manufacturing activities in Bologna."
The company hammered the point home by explaining that "the restructuring plan is necessary and cannot be postponed, to steady the operational management of a company that has been in difficulties for 20 years."
La Perla was founded by the Masotti family in 1954, and sold to US investment fund JH Partners in 2007. Since then, it has never managed to get back on the growth track despite extensive investment, hit by increasingly intense competition, and penalised by rising production costs in Italy and incompetent management.
La Perla was bought by Silvio Scaglia in 2013 via his Pacific Global Management holding company, after it filed for a preventive composition procedure with the Bologna court. In February 2018, La Perla was acquired by investment group Sapinda, owned by controversial German entrepreneur Lars Windhorst, a man with two bankruptcies under his belt, who recently found himself embroiled in the affair involving UK investment fund H2O, hit hard by liquidity problems.
According to the Financial Times and to Business Insider, the current woes of the lingerie label, whose finances were already in a critical state in 2017, are also partly due to the investments made by Sapinda.

My niece is taller than me. As a junior in high school, it is striking to see a girl who is 6'4″. She has always been tall. She was so tall as a child, her mom had to travel with her birth certificate to sporting events.
As a leader, there are times in which someone who looks like an adult does not act their age. On occasion, a man acts like a child.
It can happen to any of us in a situation. We can lose our bearings, forget our surroundings, and act like a child.
It happens to others more regularly, they don't get their way and struggle to respond like an adult.
It happens to some in all situations because they lack the emotional ability to see how their actions influence others. As a three year-old cannot fully understand how their tantrum makes their mom feel, some people do not have the capability to see the pain they inflict on others.
As a leader, it is vital to understand that sometimes a man will act like a child. It might disappoint us, but it shouldn't surprise us. And we should know how to handle it.
1. They refuse to respond like a child. The temptation when someone acts like a child is to begin acting like them. They yell so you yell back. They make petty accusations so you respond in kind. It's a tempting response, but it's not a good one. Whether in parenting or leadership, when someone acts like a child, the person in charge must continue to act like an adult. When leaders respond like children, everyone suffers.
One difficulty with childish behavior is that the person acting immaturely either doesn't realize it or claims they aren't doing it. This causes the leader to question themselves. Often, the childish person will make petty accusations which puts the leader on the defensive. The leader can be spending so much time refuting false claims that they don't feel capable of calling out the immature actions of others.
But make no mistake, childish behavior is predictable.
He doesn't get his way and throws a tantrum because of it.
He can't argue an issue without questioning the character of others.
He attacks anyone who disagrees with him.
He blows an issue out of proportion and allows it to color every other issue.
He makes everything about him and what he wants.
He makes unsubstantiated accusations which can't be verified.
He responds in a way that is not proportional with the issue.
They have to avoid the temptations of also acting like a child or caving to the childish behavior. They must choose the right direction, make the right decisions, and do what is best for all involved.
Make no mistake, every leader will face childish behavior far more regularly than they can imagine. It is one of the great challenges of leadership, because only a true leader can handle it properly.
I realize this was back in the good old days of 2016. But it's so relevant to leadership today that I tweeted out the bulleted items, just to point out how obvious this behavior is in the our government leaders.
What happens at home, apearently does come out at work….I guess my husband's day is comming soon.
God knows he shows his childish immaturity outside of his job, all the time.
His problem is, he reared himself.
[His Mother died when he was 3yrs,then his irresponsible Dad shuffled around within his disfunctional family till he was 16.
That's when he literally moved out, only visiting his son , long enough to throw him money to get by on.
Unfortunately, I've been on the receiving end of this.
I now, realize I excepted his proposal into marriage too quickly years ago. It's taken a toll on me.

Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, others sign new OPEC Charter
The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and the non-member countries of the organisation (OPEC+) on Tuesday signed a draft `Charter of Cooperation' in a bid to further strengthen their partnership.
The charter now replaces the `Declaration of Cooperation', which was reached in Dec. 2016 between the two groups.
Speaking at the end of the 6th OPEC and non-OPEC Ministerial Meeting in Vienna, Mr Salvador Fernandez, President of the bloc's Council reaffirmed the continued commitment of the member countries to a stable market as stipulated in the cooperation.
"Participating producing countries are committed to promoting the interest of producing nations.
"The efficient, economic and secure supply to consumers and a fair return on invested capital as well as the return of confidence and investment to the oil industry," Fernandez said.
Fernandez, who is also the Venezuelan Petroleum Minister, said that the meeting focused on recent oil market developments and immediate prospects as well as collaborative efforts by members.
Mr Alexandra Novak, Russia's Energy Minister and Co-chair of the meeting, described the charter as not only "historic, but a basis for solidifying cooperation.
"It is not only a historic document which solidifies our cooperation, but also a solid foundation for future analysis of the market and basis for decision-making to stabilise the market.''
Novak, who noted the successes achieved through the Declaration of Cooperation, said that the market was currently in a better shape than it used to be.
"To further stabilise the market, we have decided to significantly intensify monitoring in bid to forestall potential uncertainties that could destabilise the market," he said.
The reports state that the new agreement is seen as a move by the bloc to remain relevant in the oil market which has been transformed by booming U.S. shale oil output.
Nigeria and 13 other OPEC member nations as well as some non-member countries have already signed the charter.

How our friends and routines can add to segregation

social lives
A new book examines racial segregation in Chicago, with a focus on how social factors contribute to maintaining segregation.
Think about the last time you looked for a new apartment or house, for instance. Maybe you asked your friends or colleagues about where they lived. You thought about your route to work, or that neighborhood you always drive through on your way to your kid's soccer practice.
Many of these places were familiar to you, whether from an occasional visit or part of a daily routine. And if you're like most people, you ultimately moved to a neighborhood you knew about first- or secondhand.
That decision helped, however unintentionally, to cement patterns of residential segregation, says Kyle Crowder, a professor of sociology at the University of Washington and coauthor of Cycle of Segregation: Social Processes and Residential Stratification (Russell Sage Foundation, 2017).
In the book, Crowder and coauthor Maria Krysan of the University of Illinois at Chicago focus on Chicago neighborhoods, the opinions of residents, and the past and present policies that shape the city—put simply, a city known for its white neighborhoods on the north side, and black neighborhoods on the south and west.
How real estate agents contribute to segregation
Chicago, Crowder and Krysan point out, has some characteristics particularly endemic to large, industrial metropolises that grew in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. But relatively newer cities like Seattle don't escape the economic, political, and social forces that create and maintain segregation, Crowder says. Nor is addressing them an easy fix.
Here, he discusses the book and segregation in city neighborhoods in Chicago and elsewhere.
What makes this book different from other research on neighborhood segregation?
For decades, we've been focused on fairly simplistic explanations for why cities remain so segregated: preferences, discrimination, and economics. We're not saying those forces are unimportant. We're saying let's think about other social forces that are at play here.
Use the example of African-Americans and whites, because they're the most segregated from each other: One traditional theory is that African-Americans and whites live in separate residential spaces because they have different access to economic resources. Whites have higher levels of education, on average, more income, more wealth than do African-Americans, and so whites are better able to buy themselves into higher-quality neighborhoods. This is contradicted by the fact that African-Americans, even with high levels of income and wealth, tend to be segregated from high-income whites.
Another argument is preferences, that blacks choose to live in black neighborhoods, and whites choose to live in white neighborhoods. There's some evidence to say that especially among whites there is a pretty strong aversion to living around high concentrations of people of color, although that has softened over time.
When we ask people about their willingness to live in diverse neighborhoods, there seems to be a growing appreciation of doing so, but it doesn't quite match the residential outcomes.
The third argument is that for African-Americans, even when they can afford to live in more integrated spaces and have preference to do so, they still don't end up in those kinds of places, because they're discriminated against. There are classic examples of this, of landlords who won't rent to "your kind" or who claim the apartment is rented, that kind of thing. But it's hard to measure discrimination, and the kinds of discrimination that pervade today are often quite subtle.
There are all kinds of forces that build residential segregation, but once it's entrenched in a city, it tends to take on a life of its own and perpetuate itself over generations and generations, thanks to an underappreciated set of social processes.
What are the social forces in people's lives, and how do they influence where we live?
People's daily rounds are really shaped by residential segregation: where we go to work and shop, where we go to church, and where our kids go to school. White folks tend to do those things in one area of the city, and African-Americans tend to do those things in another area of the city, Latinos in a separate area, and so on.
Those daily activities mean we all have exposure to different sets of neighborhoods, and when it comes time to search for housing, we tend to search for housing in places that we know.
The other big thing here is our social networks. We rely heavily on our social networks to gain knowledge of residential opportunities. If my social network is circumscribed, if my network is made up of mostly white folks, then I get information about places where white folks live. Residential segregation creates racially circumscribed lives that then translate to racially circumscribed search processes that then perpetuate residential segregation.
Your book is set in Chicago. How is Seattle similar or different?
African-Americans moved to cities like Chicago during the Great Migration to take advantage of industrial jobs. During that time, there was also incredible racial strife and a variety of strategies—from protective covenants and redlining to financing the suburbanization of white populations—were enacted to segregate the growing black population from whites in these metropolitan areas. Even after you make practices like redlining and protective covenants illegal, white neighborhoods still have reputations for being racially unfriendly, and other areas have reputations for being the black areas of the city. People's daily lives and residential experiences are still ordered by what happened decades ago.
In Seattle, segregation has declined since the 1970s. There's still a pronounced, moderate level of segregation, though there's more integration among nonwhite groups than in many cities.
So what's unique about Seattle that's led to this higher-than-average level of integration? Two things: First, it's been a place that's grown rapidly, where newcomers settle into neighborhoods that in the past would have been defined as not for white folks. This brings up issues of gentrification and displacement and segregation, but it also leads at least temporarily to a higher level of integration.
The other thing is that Seattle has less well-entrenched notions of what our neighborhoods are. In Chicago, if you named a neighborhood on the South Side, someone may never have been there, but they will tell you a million things about what that neighborhood is like based on what they think they know. Seattle has been such a growing, dynamic, changing place that I think the definitions and perceptions are a bit softer. We have a population that is more likely to explore residential spaces outside of the ones they've experienced.
You talk about the proactive ways the King County Housing Authority is approaching residential segregation.
The King County Housing Authority and other housing authorities tend to be great about moving voucher recipients into "high-opportunity" neighborhoods—places with jobs, higher-quality schools, and accessible transit. King County's mobility specialists talk with voucher recipients about their residential needs and goals and encourage them to think more broadly about all the places that might fit those needs. If you say, "here's a voucher, good luck," people will rely heavily on their social networks and on places they already know, which is likely to help perpetuate segregation.
At the end of the Obama administration, there was a concerted effort to make sure that communities were taking steps to foster integration, and many had started to think about creating a variety of housing, and reaching out to populations that might not normally have contact with a particular area of the city.
It's clear now that there's not going to be a whole lot of help from the federal government on this, so states and municipalities are going to have to take the lead. There are strong networks of governors and mayors who are starting to come together and learn from each other in the area of climate change; hopefully it will start to happen in terms of housing affordability and integration.
It's easy to think about neighborhoods in the abstract. Neighborhoods differ in terms of racial composition, quality of housing, schools, and the level of crime, and we need to address some of those structural, political, and economic forces that have led to disinvestment in African-American and Latino neighborhoods in most metropolitan areas.
We need to invest in those neighborhoods so they are good neighborhoods for everybody—good for the people who live there, and good for the people who might think about living there.

Oliver Peterson: Sydney looking at prospects of an 'indefinite lockdown'
Australian expert warns of 'indefinite lockdown' in Sydney

With infection numbers in Sydney refusing to budge, the head of Australia's top medical body has warned that the NSW capital could be facing an "indefinite" lockdown - with only one clear pathway out.
President of the Australian Medical Association (AMA), Omar Khorshid, said the city was looking at living with restrictions for the "foreseeable future until everyone is vaccinated", urging Sydneysiders to obey health orders.
"Of course, we don't have enough vaccines to vaccinate the whole of Sydney communities so the only option is to get on top of this virus right now," Dr Khorshid said.

"Vaccines are doing their job, we know they are doing their job and we are seeing a number of young people in hospital in ICU, rather than the huge numbers of older people we saw in Victoria.
"That is a sign that the vaccines are working. Vaccines are our way out of this in the longer term but for right now, for today in Sydney, the only way to stop this virus spreading is to stop people talking to each other, people coming close to each other, people breathing on each other, coughing on each other.
"We know this from the lessons we have learned throughout the lockdown, throughout the pandemic and our only option is to do what needs to be done right now here in Sydney."
Adviser to the World Health Organisation's (WHO) Covid-19 response and UNSW epidemiologist, Mary-Louise McLaws, had a similarly grim warning about the length of Sydney's lockdown - currently pegged to end next Friday, July 30.
"We still need another three to four weeks because we need to get that proportion [of cases in people who haven't been in full lockdown] to zero," Professor McLaws told The Project last night.
"Once we've got that zero, then we need that to continue for 14 days to ensure we've mitigated everything.
"Now, you could lift some small restrictions off, but you wouldn't be able to lift all of them off until 28 days after that first zero of anybody out in the community that hadn't been in full lockdown.
"It's a long duration: "Expect another two months before we've absolutely eradicated it … but we don't have to stay in lockdown for that long."
As NSW reported another 98 cases this morning, chief health officer Kerry Chant once again revealed exactly why every Australian should be desperate to get a Covid-19 vaccination.
Of the 82 Sydneysiders – across a range of ages – currently in hospital with the virus, 24 are in intensive care — and of those, only one has had a single dose of the AstraZeneca jab.
"Vaccination is critical," Dr Chant told reporters.
"Can I just urge everyone in the community who is eligible for the vaccine to go forth and make an appointment. Go on to the eligibility checker and access the vaccine. I would urge anyone, particularly over 60, to go and get an AstraZeneca vaccine from their general practice and remember I have also said that GPs are working very hard and they will prioritise older individuals over younger in terms of bookings, because of the need to protect our elderly.
"Even one dose of AstraZeneca can have some effect, as well as one dose of the Pfizer, but two doses gives the optimal protection. And having two doses of the vaccine can really reduce your risk of hospitalisation and death associated with Covid."
In a similar message to her state on Friday, the CHO said "it is essential for us to live somewhat normally with this Delta virus and any other variant we might get thrown out that we are going to have to be highly vaccinated as a population and also we are going to have to live with booster shots".
While Dr Chant said she'd like for 80 per cent of the adult population in NSW to ultimately be vaccinated, former deputy chief medical officer Nick Coatsworth said lockdowns nationwide could no longer be needed in about four months — once 50 per cent of Australians are vaccinated.
Speaking to The Australian Financial Review, Dr Coatsworth said "we need to consider what are the consequences of locking down on younger Australians' jobs in the gig economy and mental health".
"2021 has to be a transition year where we get the Australian community used to the idea of Covid in our community through a successful vaccination program, and 2022 needs to be the year we have Covid in Australia," he said.

Q: Sort a (nested) list of strings on frequency of occurrence So I got a list which looks like this:
['Marie', 'Lucas', 'Patsy', 'Julie', 'Peter', 'Emma', 'Kevin', 'Tobias', 'Suzy', ['Marie', 'Lucas'], ['Lucas', 'Marie'], ['Lucas', 'Patsy'], ['Patsy', 'Lucas'], ['Emma', 'Lucas'], ['Lucas', 'Emma'], ['Emma', 'Kevin'], ['Kevin', 'Emma'], ['Peter', 'Emma'], ['Emma', 'Peter'], ['Peter', 'Lucas'], ['Lucas', 'Peter'], ['Peter', 'Julie'], ['Julie', 'Peter'], ['Suzy', 'Tobias'], ['Tobias', 'Suzy']]

I want to sort the list based on highest occurrences to lowest. I used print((Counter(str(netwerk)).most_common())) which returned instead:
[("'", 82), (',', 40), (' ', 40), ('a', 25), ('e', 23), ('[', 17), (']', 17), ('u', 15), ('s', 15), ('m', 14), ('i', 12), ('r', 10), ('P', 10), ('t', 10), ('L', 9), ('c', 9), ('E', 7), ('y', 6), ('M', 3), ('J', 3), ('l', 3), ('K', 3), ('v', 3), ('n', 3), ('T', 3), ('o', 3), ('b', 3), ('S', 3), ('z', 3)]

The occurrences of a single char, I have no clue why this is happening. Any help is appreciated.
My expected result would be:
Lucas – Emma – Peter – Julie – Kevin – Marie – Patsy – Suzy – Tobias

A: You can't use Counter directly because there are some list mixed in with string, therefore flatten those first:
data = ['Marie', 'Lucas', 'Patsy', 'Julie', 'Peter', 'Emma', 'Kevin', 'Tobias', 'Suzy', ['Marie', 'Lucas'], ['Lucas', 'Marie'], ['Lucas', 'Patsy'], ['Patsy', 'Lucas'], ['Emma', 'Lucas'], ['Lucas', 'Emma'], ['Emma', 'Kevin'], ['Kevin', 'Emma'], ['Peter', 'Emma'], ['Emma', 'Peter'], ['Peter', 'Lucas'], ['Lucas', 'Peter'], ['Peter', 'Julie'], ['Julie', 'Peter'], ['Suzy', 'Tobias'], ['Tobias', 'Suzy']]
from collections import Counter
c = Counter()
for d in data:
    if isinstance(d,str):
        c[d] += 1
    elif isinstance(d,list):
        for n in d:
            c[n] += 1
c.most_common()

Output:
[('Lucas', 9),
 ('Peter', 7),
 ('Emma', 7),
 ('Tobias', 3),
 ('Patsy', 3),
 ('Marie', 3),
 ('Suzy', 3),
 ('Kevin', 3),
 ('Julie', 3)]

Stroll for Strong Kids Springs into Action
Golisano Childrens Hospital
Golisano Children's Hospital received a lot of fantastic submissions from the Stroll for Strong Kids Theme Contest. Of all the great ideas that our Facebook fans suggested, one theme really rose to the top.
"How about a superhero theme?" asked Patti Milburn. "Our children, the doctors, nurses and support staff who play a part in the journeys our families have taken are our super heroes. Kids and families could design their own super hero costumes, capes, masks, etc."
With more than twice the votes of any other theme, Patti was the clear winner. Patti received the grand prize, a $25 gift card — a small gift for the huge contribution she and her family have made in their fundraising efforts over the years — and Golisano Children's Hospital got a new and very exciting direction for the 16th annual Stroll for Strong Kids.
Golisano Children's Hospital will feature the Milburns in the Community Spotlight section of an upcoming double issue of the Strong Kids newsletter. To get on our mailing list, please call (585) 273-5948. The Milburns have a passion for giving back to the hospital, and for good reason. Read this miraculous story about Patti's son, Cory, who spent months in Golisano Children's Hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit after being born 15 weeks premature. We also invite you to check out a video from the Milburns, about Cory's journey toward good health.
This year's supercharged Stroll for Strong Kids event, presented by Abbott's Frozen Custard, will take place on Saturday, June 2, on the River Campus at the University of Rochester, located at 252 Elmwood Ave., Rochester. The 5K race is back in action for its fourth year. Runners should be on their marks and ready to run at super speed at 8:30 a.m. Stroll participants will begin their annual trek at 10:30 a.m. and are welcome to gather at the rugby field next to Fauver Stadium prior to the start time with team-themed t-shirts, banners and an energy level of heroic proportions. Following the walk, there will be games, activities and food and beverages available for all participants. The day of family fun will wrap up at about 1 p.m.
Last year was a record-breaking year, with more than 4,200 participants and more than $340,000 raised.

Researchers Create Tunable, Nanoscale, Incandescent Light Source
Written by AZoOpticsSep 20 2019
An incandescent lightbulb created in an engineering laboratory at Rice University may be viewed as the smallest in the world with the potential of advances in photonics, sensing, and maybe computing platforms beyond the boundaries of silicon.
A new study by Rice University electrical and computer engineer Gururaj Naik and graduate student Chloe Doiron demonstrates nanoscale selective thermal emitters, incandescent light sources with two or more elements. (Courtesy: The Naik Lab/Rice University)
Gururaj Naik from Rice's Brown School of Engineering and graduate student Chloe Doiron have built unconventional "selective thermal emitters"—groups of near-nanoscale materials that absorb heat and discharge light.
The study, which was reported in Advanced Materials, stays ahead of a new method formulated by the lab that uses carbon nanotubes to direct heat from mid-infrared radiation to enhance the efficiency of solar energy systems.
The new approach brings together various known phenomena into a distinctive configuration that also converts heat into light—but in this case, the system is strongly configurable.
According to Naik, essentially, the incandescent light source was made by breaking down a single-element system—a bulb's glowing filament—into two or more subunits. Blending and matching the subunits could offer the system a range of capabilities.
The previous paper was all about making solar cells more efficient. This time, the breakthrough is more in the science than the application. Basically, our goal was to build a nanoscale thermal light source with specific properties, like emitting at a certain wavelength, or emitting extremely bright or new thermal light states.

"Previously, people thought of a light source as just one element and tried to get the best out of it," added Naik. "But we break the source into many tiny elements. We put sub-elements together in such a fashion that they interact with each other. One element may give brightness; the next element could be tuned to provide wavelength specificity. We share the burden among many small parts."

"The idea is to rely upon collective behavior, not just a single element," Naik continued. "Breaking the filament into many pieces gives us more degrees of freedom to design the functionality."
The system is dependent on non-Hermitian physics, a quantum mechanical means to define "open" systems that discharge energy—here, heat—instead of retaining it.
As part of their experiments, Naik and Doiron integrated two types of near-nanoscale passive oscillators that are electromagnetically coupled up on being heated to approximately 700 °C. The thermal light emitted by the metallic oscillator causes the coupled silicon disk to store the light and emit it in a preferred manner, stated Naik.
According to Doiron, the output of the light-emitting resonator can be regulated by damping the lossy resonator or by manipulating the level of coupling through a third element between the resonators.
Brightness and the selectivity trade off. Semiconductors give you a high selectivity but low brightness, while metals give you very bright emission but low selectivity. Just by coupling these elements, we can get the best of both worlds.
Chloe Doiron, Graduate Student, Brown School of Engineering, Rice University
"The potential scientific impact is that we can do this not just with two elements, but many more," stated Naik. "The physics would not change."
He observed that though commercial incandescent bulbs have been shoved aside in favor of LEDs for their energy efficiency, incandescent lamps are still the only concrete means to create infrared light.
"Infrared detection and sensing both rely on these sources," Naik noted. "What we've created is a new way to build light sources that are bright, directional and emit light in specific states and wavelengths, including infrared."
The prospects for sensing lie at the system's "exceptional point," he said.
There's an optical phase transition because of how we've coupled these two resonators. Where this happens is called the exceptional point, because it's exceptionally sensitive to any perturbation around it. That makes these devices suitable for sensors. There are sensors with microscale optics, but nothing has been shown in devices that employ nanophotonics.
The prospects may also be significant for next-level classical computing. "The International Roadmap for Semiconductor Technology (ITRS) understands that semiconductor technology is reaching saturation and they're thinking about what next-generation switches will replace silicon transistors," stated Naik.
Naik added, "ITRS has predicted that will be an optical switch, and that it will use the concept of parity-time symmetry, as we do here, because the switch has to be unidirectional. It sends light in the direction we want, and none comes back, like a diode for light instead of electricity."
The study was backed by the National Science Foundation.

Microbubble barriers scientifically proved to be effective for control of algal and microorganism blooms
Trials conducted by Plancton Andino revealed that microbubble barriers developed by the PSP group are highly effective in controlling harmful algal blooms (HABs).
Although underwater microbubble barriers are a known technology to protect salmon farms from algal or jellyfish blooms, until now there was no publicly available technical-scientific research that proved their effectiveness under controlled conditions. But an investigation carried out by Plancton Andino, Universidad Austral de Chile, Low O2 and PSP Soluciones at the university's Naval Hydrodynamics laboratory, showed that they are highly effective – with over 80% blocking efficiency - in the control of HABs.
The tests were carried out at the laboratory's 45-metre test pool, in which different configurations of air diffusers were installed to generate the submarine microbubble barriers. In order to simulate the HAB, innocuous dyes that have a distribution in water similar to algae were used. For the recording of the experiments, cameras from the test channel were used and professionals from Plancton Andino – a company specialised in water quality analysis - collected water samples and made online real time measurements (BAS System) with bio-optical sensors.
The tests were focused on analysing in real time the effectiveness of the barriers under different configurations and at different air injection speeds. What we found is that they are very effective in attenuating the effects in the water under different configurations
Alejandro Clément, general manager of Plancton Andino.
Water samples collected in the different tests for absorbance or optical density analysis.
The tests were carried out combining three variables – current speed, number of diffusers and repetition - to analyse how the microbubble barriers act more efficiently in blocking blooms. The use of cameras, bio-optical sensors and absorbance analysis of discrete water samples in a double beam spectrophotometer enabled the definition of the most effective configuration. "For current speeds of 0.1 and 0.2 m/s we obtained blockages over 90%, while for 0.3 m/s the efficiency begins to drop", explains Bruno López, general manager of PSP Soluciones, company developer of the microbubble barrier technology that was tested in the simulations.
Due to the high percentage of blocking generated by this technology developed by PSP Soluciones and Low O2, we consider its use in aquaculture to be strategic, due to its ability to control and block blooms of microalgae, jellyfish or microorganisms
Bruno López concludes: "The blocking efficiency results of more than 80% in the test channel is excellent news. Although we already knew the effectiveness of our microbubble barriers, this study certifies their capacity and allows us to lay the foundations to continue improving our systems."
Spectra for the three periods; (t0) blue line is the moment of application of the dye, (t1) orange line corresponds to just after passing the microbubble curtain, and (t2) grey line represents the spectrum after the water turbulence decreases. X-axis = wavelength in nm and Y-axis = absorbance.

TEQSA has agreed to orders made by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal under which Performing Arts Education Pty Ltd (PAE) is registered pursuant to section 21 of the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency Act 2011 (the TEQSA Act) for a period of four years until 1 November 2022 in the provider category of Higher Education Provider.
The orders also provide for the accreditation of the Bachelor of Screen and Stage (Song and Dance), the Bachelor of Screen and Stage (Acting) and the Bachelor of Screen and Stage (Screen Production) to be offered by PAE pursuant to section 49 of the TEQSA Act, and for five conditions to be imposed on PAE's registration pursuant to section 32 of the TEQSA Act. A copy of the conditions is available at Attachment 1.
PAE applied to TEQSA for registration in the category of Higher Education Provider under Part 3 of the TEQSA Act, and for accreditation of three courses of study under Part 4 of the TEQSA Act.
TEQSA considered PAE's applications and provided draft summaries of findings with details of the assessment of PAE's applications by the responsible case management team. TEQSA's Commission considered PAE's response to the draft summaries of findings and decided to reject PAE's applications on 6 July 2017, on the basis that it was not satisfied that PAE met the Threshold Standards.
PAE applied for review of TEQSA's decision in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). In the course of the proceedings, PAE made submissions and provided further information and evidence about the matters raised in TEQSA's decisions.
It is well established that absent a specific legislative provision to the contrary, the AAT is generally required to make a decision on review based on the evidence available at the time of the AAT's decision on review, and that the AAT is not confined to the evidence available at the time of the primary decision. Accordingly, TEQSA accepted that the AAT was required to take account of the further material submitted to TEQSA after TEQSA had rejected PAE's applications.
After reviewing the further material submitted by PAE, TEQSA was satisfied that PAE meets the Threshold Standards. However, TEQSA considered that there remained a number of risks related to PAE's capacity to meet the Threshold Standards in the future. On this basis, TEQSA agreed that it was appropriate to substitute TEQSA's initial rejection of the applications with decisions to register PAE for a period until 1 November 2022, to accredit PAE's courses for the same period, and to impose a number of conditions on PAE's registration.
The need for PAE's academic staff to be active in scholarship that informs their teaching, and for PAE's corporate and academic governing bodies to oversee PAE's approach to scholarship ?Provider Category Standard 1.4 and Provider Course Accreditation Standard 4.2.
TEQSA is satisfied that the conditions will provide an appropriate framework for TEQSA to oversee PAE's approach to dealing with these issues.
In accordance with subsections 32(2) and 32(3) of the TEQSA Act, TEQSA may vary or revoke a condition imposed on the registration of a higher education provider, either on its own initiative, or upon application by the provider for variation or revocation. Accordingly, TEQSA will have the capacity to vary or revoke the conditions as PAE addresses the risks identified above.
1.1 PAE must at all times throughout the period of registration maintain within PAE controlled bank accounts minimum cash reserves of $100,000.
provide TEQSA with a revised financial forecast (including financial projection in the form of income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement and student projections) within 1 month.
evidence of how PAE has adequately resourced financial and tuition safeguards to mitigate disadvantage to students who are unable to progress in the event PAE is unable to continue to offer PAE's course.
the nature of PAE's considerations in relation to any of its policies or procedures, including any recommendations and changes to those policies and procedures.
any recommended changes to the composition of the Governance Board, (the expert report).
4.2 The expert report is to be provided to PAE's shareholders, the Governance Board and TEQSA by 31 January 2019.
4.3 PAE is to provide TEQSA with a response to the recommendations in the expert report, including any changes to the composition of the Governance Board arising from any recommendations in the expert report, by 31 March 2019. The response must be accompanied by evidence that it has been reviewed and approved by the Governance Board.
have been reviewed by the Academic Board and Governance Board, and are accompanied by a response to any issues identified as a consequence of that review.

Sometimes I prefer the mix of my traditional background as a painter and my experience with the computer. I like to think of my brush marks as a touch of humanity emerging from another universe.
The overlapping planes enhance the quality of space and depth. Random elements are designed into the algorithms which create the intersections of planes. Randomness is assigned to rotation and position. This affects the overall geometry creating shape relationships which I could not visualize. It would have been more difficult to compose such a picture piece by piece. I still like an approach to problem solving where there is no single solution.
You make some magnificent artwork. With this one I love the brushmarks and the way the planes intersect, especially towards the bottom left–hand side.

RECORD-BREAKING Droitwich Spa swimmer Matt Richards continued his meteoric progression by storming to nine golds at an Open Meet in Wigan.
The 14-year-old came first in the 100m, 200m and 300m freestyle, 50m and 200m backstroke, 100m breaststroke, 200m butterfly and the 200m and 400m individual medley.
The Royal Wolverhampton student also set new personal bests in all his races barring the 200m individual medley and broke Meet records in all nine events.
Richards also went into the record books for blistering times in 100m freestyle, 200m butterfly and 400m individual medley.
His time of 51.77s in the 100m freestyle was also the fastest clocked up by a 14-year-old which earned him the Welsh Junior Record at the same time.
To top off a fantastic weekend, Richards also broke the Open County Record in the 400m individual medley.
"I was thrilled to have such a strong weekend," said Richards.
"I am in heavy training at the moment leading up to the Winter Nationals in December, so to set some new times is great.
"Obviously it's great to also set some new records, be that for the Meet, at County, or even Welsh National level.

UC Davis language guide claims only white people are racist
SUNY to require DEI and social justice courses in fall 2023
By Gabrielle M. Etzel
'Chief experience officer' for students is the newest job in higher ed

A glossary of popular social justice-themed terms, and some not so popular, published by the University of California, Davis plainly asserts that only white people are capable of racism.
According to a glossary drafted by the school's "LGBTQIA Resource Center," racism is "the systematic subordination of marginalized racial groups who have relatively little social power in the United States, by members of the agent/dominant/privileged racial group who have relatively more social power."
The list of marginalized groups is extensive, encompassing "Indigenous/Native American, Black, Chicanx, Asian, Pacific Islander, and non-white Latinx folks, non-white Middle Eastern folks, etc.," whereas the only "dominant/privileged racial group" mentioned, and hence the only group capable of exercising racism under the definition, is "white."
[RELATED: UNC claims Christmas vacations, golf outings are microaggressions]
The glossary offers definitions for some rather bizarre terms, as well, such as "ursula," which apparently refers to "some lesbians, particularly butch dykes, [who] also participate in Bear culture."
Bear culture, or "bear community," the guide explains, is a "part of the queer community composed of queer men similar in looks and interests, most of them big, hairy, friendly, and affectionate," noting that such communities aim to "provide spaces where one feels wanted, desired, and like."
The LGBTQIA Resource Centers also provides its students with a list of "words that hurt," warning students against using terms like "ugly" because it can be "connected back to white supremacist, ableist, sizeist standards of beauty."
Other popular phrases such as "you guys" are also deemed offensive, since such a saying apparently "erases the identities of people who are in the room" by "generalizing a group of people to be masculine."
[RELATED: UW lists 'you guys,' 'ugly' among 'offensive' terms to avoid]
Additionally, the research guide discourages the use of terms like "fat-ass" or "I'm being so fat right now," even when used in a self-deprecating manner, because they "demean and devalue fatness/fat bodies" and "reinforce harmful assumptions that fat people are gluttonous and are fat because they have no restraint on food."
Such terminology "also implies that there is an acceptable amount of food to eat and anything more is disgusting, or that enjoying food too much is disgusting," the guide elaborates.
Campus Reform reached out to the university for comment on the guide, but did not receive a response in time for publication.

Before Frank and I were engaged, over 7 years ago, I had never used a crockpot. One of my favorite engagement gifts was a big, beautiful, sparkly 6 quart slow cooking beauty made by Cuisinart. And the very first dish I made in it was this, an original creation of mine.
My crockpot's been seeing more action lately, particularly on the days I'm in the office. I made this again recently and it brought me back to the early days when it was bright, shiny and new. The lady's got some miles on her but she's still going strong.
Place all ingredients except pasta in crockpot. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-7 hours (remember, cooking times vary for each one!). Serve over pasta.

I still have never used a crockpot – folks tell me how wonderful it is but i haven't gotten on yet. This looks fabulous.
This looks awesome! I'm adding it to the menu for next week. Plus it's dairy free- BONUS lol!
