Chairman: Tibet to launch construction of corridor to South Asia
2016/07/06 China Tibet Online
On July 1st, the 10th anniversary of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, Losang Gyaltsen, Chairman of the Tibet Autonomous Region, said the railway is already contributing toward Tibet's opening up. In the future, Tibet will build an important transport corridor to South Asia with the railway as part of its core construction.
According to Losang Gyaltsen, the railway has already operated safely for more than 3000 days. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway is a plateau highway connecting Tibet to inland China. It is a road for Tibet's opening up, a road for Tibet's future development, and tourism route to experience Tibet's magic and splendor.
"In the 10 years of the railway's operation, it has made irreplaceable contributions toward Tibet's accelerated economic social development, promoted the transformation and upgrade of its economy, built a new tourism model, increased the income of farmers and shepherds, and increased ethnic unity and strengthened our border security."
Losang Gyaltsen said that government agencies have estimated that in the 10 years of the railway's operation, it has saved a total of 12.57 billion yuan for consumers, including 10.6 billion yuan in freight transport and 1.97 billion yuan in passenger transport, improving the people's sense of ownership and fulfillment.
The railway has helped the inheritance and development of the Tibetan culture, said Losang Gyaltsen. The railway has brought a large amount of new things, new information, and new concepts to Tibet, updating and opening up the ideas for all ethnic groups in Tibet, helping them more easily accept modern science and technology, and providing access to the enjoyment of modern cultural education.
Since the July 1st, 2006 launch of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, railway construction in Tibet has enjoyed robust growth. Losang Gyaltsen sad that since the Lhasa-Shigatze Railway launched in August of 2014, as of now, the total operational distance for Tibetan railways has reached 954 km. The Lhasa-Nyingchi Railway began construction in June of 2015; the Kangding- Nyingchi portion of the Sichuan-Tibet Railway and the Shigatze-Gyirong portion of the China-Nepal Railway have also begun project planning and research.
He said the "13th Five-Year Plan" will be a golden period for railway construction in Tibet, which relies on the fantastic foundation and accumulated experience of the Qinghai-Tibet railway's operation in the past 10 years.
He said that Tibet has devised goals for its railway development to basically achieve the vision and goals of the "two vertical, two horizontal, five out-of-district, and three out-of-country" trunk line railway network by 2030. Construction for a new batch of trunk lines within districts will help optimize the transportation network, as well as help the construction of projects such as the Nagqu-Chamdo Railway and the Lhasa-Maizhokunggar Railway, so that more residents could enjoy the fruits of railway construction.
In the meantime, Tibet will accelerate the construction of new lines of its inter-regional trunk lines and expanding its existing lines. The construction will focus on the Sichuan-Tibet, Yunnan-Tibet, Yushu-Chamdo, and Xinjiang-Tibet Railways, the energy expansion and electrification renovation of the Golmud-Lhasa portion of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, and elevate the communication and exchange capacity between Tibet and neighboring provinces.
There are four international ports and one bilateral port in Tibet, providing robust trading with South Asian countries. Tibet is a nationally-recognized, important region for border opening up and development in China, and a vital avenue for opening-up toward South Asia.
The national strategy of "One Belt, One Road" in Tibet will use the railway as its core, build a vital transport avenue of opening up toward South Asia, promote the construction of its port railways and related facilities, construct a port railway to reach Gyirong, Yadong, and Burang, and elevate Tibet's level of opening up, said Losang Gyaltsen.

Q: get coördinates as variables from openlayer 3 map For my project i want to fill a text box with the x and y coördinates whenever i click in the map. i have the coördinates displayed on my screen with this this standard code:
var mousePositionControl = new ol.control.MousePosition({
    className: 'custom-mouse-position',
    target: document.getElementById('location'),
    coordinateFormat: ol.coordinate.createStringXY(5),
    undefinedHTML: ' '
  });

so i thought: if i use mousePositionControl as the variable for the x and y coordinate i get this in the textbox. So i tried this:
map.on('click', function() {
document.getElementById("coördinates").value = mousePositionControl;
});

but the result i get in the text box is this: [object Object]
Can somebody help me out with this problem?

A: I just figured it out by myself. I asked for the full element and striped and replaced that so I got what I got.
The code:
map.on('click', function() {
  var show = document.getElementById("location").innerHTML;
  var clean = show.replace('
', "");
  var clean_again = clean.replace('
', "");
  var split = clean_again.split(',');
});

A: map.on('click', function(evt){
    document.getElementById('coördinates').innerHTML = evt.coordinate.join(", ");
});

Sales usually start the week after Christmas and last till the end of January or even longer. But if you don't get something you wanted in the beginning it's very likely it will be gone by the time you change your mind. Sales start at the worst time. We just spent our hard earned money on presents and preparations for the holidays and now all the sale signs are making us tempted to spend even more.
While searching for presents for my family I ended up buying some things for myself. My favourite vintage second hand store started with a sale that week so I went to check if there's something for me. And I found out about another vintage store and they had sale on coats so I also went there to check them out (and because I needed a new coat). All the stores are close to the main square in Zagreb so I went to Zara in Ilica st. to get a present for my little sis and ended up buying a dress I've been searching for for years.
At the "new" vintage store House of Šili , where I went to check coats on sale I got a pretty black coat with faux leather details. While walking there I was thinking how I'll get an oversized long coat but once i got there those coats were too big for me, from sizes 40 up. There were two ladies, an older one and a young girl. They offered me help and showed everything in my size or what wouldn't look too big on me. I tried few and this black one the last. It's a size bigger than I usually wear but never mind cos underneath it I have space for warm big pullovers and knitted cardigans. The coat is knee length and by Review. Has deep pockets which I absolutely love cos I can put my phone in them and not worry it will fall out. There are zippers on both sleeves and the main one goes on the side. If you leave the coat open the leather part will be seen. I love this combination of material, it gives the coat some edginess. The neckline is low so in cold weather you must wear a scarf and it's also faux leather. While buying the coat as a gift I got the cute bangle bracelets you can see on the right side of the first photo or on the middle in the photo underneath.
At Zara I got the classic black dress with white collar. My sister likes to call it the Wednesday Addams dress. I've been searching for it for over a year now. During that period I came across some look alikes but nothing special I'd like to buy. This one is A-line and the material is thicker and soft, sleeves 3/4 and the collar is stiff. It's the perfect dress.
Next two shirts I got at Ulični Ormar , the first vintage shop I found in Zagreb and the one i like the most. The girls that work there are very friendly and you can ask them anything. Sometimes they even have a beautiful dog over there. Anyway, this golden glittery shirt was love at first sight. I had one like it when I was a child. The sleeves are long but not entirely, not 3/4, more like 4/5 haha. On the back there are 2 pretty round buttons over which you put the elastics to close the shirt but it still leaves a beautiful small opening on the back. The material is nice but gets a bit itchy.
The brown pullover was for my sister. It's a thick vintage Levi's. You can definitely feel the difference in quality before and today. The shirt feels kinda heavy but is so comfortable and warm. I bet it will last many more years.
The last thing I got is a navy blue, or very dark blue, beret, it's so dark that it actually seems black.
After getting home I immediately tried some things on. The dress, coat, bracelets and beret go perfectly together. They make an elegant but somewhat edgy look which I'll show you in some future post.
What are some of your favourite vintage stores?
Thank you so much for such a lovely comment! The fabrics of vintage clothes is so much better than todays.

From John Quincy Adams to Thomas Boylston Adams, 4 November 1819
N. 24.
Washington November 1819.
My dear Brother.
On the 7th. of last Month, I left at the Branch Bank, Boston, a Check payable to you, requesting it might be passed to your credit, as my agent, which was no doubt accordingly done, and which as you recollect was to be reserved to pay for the timber, for which you had agreed, for building the Barn upon the Mount Wollaston farm, and for the work and other expenses of building it—The check was for one thousand Dollars—Mr Knap, mentioned to me, that there was a dividend of two Dollars a share, declared on the Boylston Market Shares—This together with the Dividends on the Neponset Bridge, and the New–England Insurance Company, will I trust keep you in Cash, for all the demands upon me, to which you will be liable for the expenses of my two sons at Cambridge, and enable you at the Commencement of the Winter vacation to furnish them with eighty Dollars each to pay the expense of their Journey to this place—It should cost them not more than fifty Dollars each; but I intend they shall have a surplus on hand; to meet the contingency of any accident on the road—During their absence they will of course not be chargeable upon you. At the end of the year, according to our agreement I hope to receive; and thereafterwards quarter yearly a statement of our accounts.
I spoke to Mr James H. Foster about the removal of the Carriage from Mr. P. Foster's yard—I desired that unless there should be some objection of which I was not aware, it might be put up in the Chaise–house of the place where you formerly resided, at Quincy—
We preformed our Journey from Boston to this place in one week; having started on Saturday Morning, from Mrs Burr's at the foot of what was once Beacon Hill, and landed here the next Saturday about two in the afternoon—We stopped only from six to eleven O'Clock one Morning at New–York; but I was persuaded to pass once day at Philadelphia—I must have crossed W. S. Shaw, in the exchange of Steam–Boats at New–Haven for on our arrival at the City–Hotel in New–York, we found he had left it to return to Boston the Morning before.
Since our arrival, Charles has opened a Correspondence with some of his young Associates at Boston and Quincy—Among the rest with your Thomas, from whom he has received a very gratifying Letter.
The President returned to the City last Monday from Virginia—The Session of Congress commences in one Month, and there are combustibles in a train of preparation, sufficient to produce a Warm Winter.
Let me hear from you frequently—Tell me that you and all the family are well; and comfortable; and happy—No delight can surpass that, with which those tidings will be welcomed by your affectionate brother
John Quincy Adams.

Leadership Conference attendees from Region Four
The American Rental Association's (ARA) Leadership Conference, hosted by the ARA Board of Directors, took place Nov. 17-19 at the Loews Chicago O'Hare Hotel in Rosemont, Ill. The annual invite-only conference delivered educational and networking opportunities tailored to equip attendees as industry leaders.
Nearly 75 attendees representing 38 states and three Canadian provinces traveled to the conference; many currently serve on their ARA state chapter board of directors. Also present were current and incoming members of the ARA Board of Directors who lent their insights on association leadership.
The event opened Thursday, Nov. 17, with the welcoming presentation "It's Hard to Lead the Change if You Look Funny on a Horse!" by Bruce Christopher. Christopher, a licensed psychologist who has spoken on some of the largest stages in the world, kicked off the conference with a message on the art of leadership and how to get on the horse, lead the charge and bring others along with you.
"So much of his presentation was about your attitude and your mind. The success in your life is based on how you perceive your own life," says first-time Leadership Conference attendee Jennifer Rodriguez, CERP, general manager, Marianne's Rentals, Oklahoma City, who serves as ARA of Oklahoma secretary. "Being aware of your own thoughts and what you allow inside your brain shapes your future and defines your reality. He talked about the rules of ABC — A is attitude when an event happens to you, B is how you talk about the event, C is your emotional response to your self-talk — what you're telling yourself in your mind. That was really good."
For Jonathan Baugh, owner, Lawn and Power, Star City, Ark., who serves as an ARA of Arkansas board member, the presentation helped him realize that "I need to change the way I look at myself — how my attitude can affect a lot of other things. We all deal with 100 problems a day, but how we handle those can affect what kind of day we have. That was one of the biggest takeaways," he says.
Thursday evening also included recognition of the 2021 ARA Leadership Impact Award recipients. Matt Cosby of Peerless Events and Tents, Austin, Texas, who serves on the Texas Rental Association board of directors, received the award for his service in ARA Region Four.
Bryce Puckett, left, and Matt Cosby
Cosby, a first-time conference attendee, was "very surprised" when his name was announced. "I am very appreciative of the recognition. I didn't expect this. It was like this is great, but it is just our job — what we do as board members. We have to think outside of the box and do things differently and be innovative," he says.
Receiving this award "means that I need to keep pushing forward and being a leader within our region as well as help mentor people who are new. It reassures what I am doing and my purpose. When you serve on a board, your purpose is to serve other people and serve the industry. It re-motivates me to continue doing that," he says.
The Leadership Conference continued Friday with its central theme, "Shift Happens," a series of sessions presented by guest speaker Lee Ann Piano, a John Maxwell-certified speaker, trainer, coach and empowerment expert.
Throughout the day, Piano shared insight and guidance that can help conference attendees stay ahead of the curve and become nimble and adaptable leaders in today's rapidly changing world. Her sessions were split into three distinct segments: "Leadershift," focusing on adaptability; "The Focus Shift," highlighting how to help others shine; and "The Personal Growth Shift," centered on becoming growth-oriented.
Rodriguez says she took away so many insights from Piano's presentation. "She talked about being a better listener. I thought I was a good listener, but I learned a lot about how to be even better. She also discussed the value of prioritizing and focusing your goals at the beginning of the day, coaching and mentoring people, implementing team builders vs. team busters, how to hire people and multiple advantage perspective — how you can have multiple advantages and see a situation from different perspectives. It was all about mindset and performance, which was great," she says.
The tips for recruiting and retaining people resonated with Baugh. "Our workforce is becoming more diversified," he says. "If you keep doing what you have always done, you will get what you have always gotten. As the world changes, we have to change how we recruit and retain the talent. I am from a small town in south Arkansas. You get in your own little bubble. Getting out of that and realizing what the bigger situation is across the whole platform lets you know what is going on. Whenever it comes to recruiting board members or employees for the dealership, we have to start recruiting from different areas and places from what we have done in years past. We need to catch up or get left behind."
Cosby also found that helpful, especially Piano's example of clear communication, using the acronym VETO — Vision, Example, Teach and Ownership. "It correlated with our whole values, purpose, vision and mission at Peerless Tents and Events. At Peerless, one of our core values is Own it: 'We value the individuals who love their job and work the hardest to make Peerless stand above the competition. We are responsible for empowering and supporting each other. We own our mistakes and hold one another accountable rather than pointing fingers.' It felt good to know that we are, according to Lee Ann, going in the right direction."
Updates on the latest ARA programs and initiatives also were provided by ARA staff members following Piano's sessions on Friday.
"This was one of my favorite parts to learn what ARA can do for us," Cosby says. "It has prompted me to see how I can be part of the growth and change and how can I be assisting that change. It makes me want to be more involved."
Rodriguez agrees. "When you hear from Tony [Conant, ARA CEO] and someone from every department about what they are doing, it was very impactful. I was blown away to hear all that ARA does. It helped me understand what the national objectives are and how they impact us," she says.
On Friday evening, all were invited to enjoy the comedic talents of performers from Second City, Chicago's renowned troupe of improv, stand-up and sketch comedians.
The conference concluded Saturday, Nov. 19, with a final leadership session, "The Mind Shift," from Ashley Cuttino of Ogletree Deakins — a legal firm with a human resources focus that partners with ARA on the association's HR Assistance Program. Cuttino discussed how our internalization of past experiences helps to form one's opinions, attitudes and assumptions on any given topic. Those opinions impact the decisions people make on a daily basis, both personally and professionally. A leader who acknowledges and assesses their assumptions is capable of leading their business into new markets.
All say the conference was extremely valuable. "I am glad I went," Baugh says. "From spending time with the speakers and gaining wisdom from them, it was also nice to hang out with peers who are going through similar situations and talk about how they are handling that. The networking was just as valuable as the information I received from the speakers. I left with good tips. Now it is up to me to implement and follow through with those."
Rodriguez agrees. "When you sit next to people who do the same thing that you do, you pick up these gems. It completely changes what you are thinking about and opens up your eyes. It takes you outside your own world and allows you to get a bird's-eye view of the entire industry. That experience in itself changes you. Having that exposure and building your community is so important to what we do in our everyday lives. I left feeling very supported and came back rejuvenated and excited for my board service and my business," she says.
ARA's Leadership Conference offers time for Ditch Witch's Scott Pevey to reflect on his volunteer board service
Scott Pevey
Volunteering for the American Rental Association (ARA) has been part of Scott Pevey's DNA for the past 10 years. This senior manager, marketing, at Ditch Witch in Perry, Okla., has served on the Exhibitor Advisory Council, the ARA Foundation Board of Trustees and most recently on the ARA Board of Directors as associate member director. Pevey's board service will conclude at the end of The ARA Show™ in February. While attending ARA's Leadership Conference this past November, he had time to reflect on what volunteering has meant to him.
Pevey's volunteer service stems from two factors.
The first is his respect and understanding of his company's history with the industry and the association.
"Our company and our brand were built on the rental market, and we have participated in the last 63 ARA shows," he says. "There have been a lot of people before me who have supported the industry and ARA in particular. I felt I needed to do my part to support such an important industry. I have tried to do that with my volunteer efforts."
The second is the pure joy Pevey receives from working with the people he volunteers with. "The people are a huge reason I have volunteered. Everyone I have ever met are top-notch and really cut from the same cloth as all of us at Ditch Witch. Our values, our approach and personalities are very similar. I really like everyone. It is a joy to interact with them. I have grown very close to many people at ARA," he says.
That is why he has enjoyed going to the Leadership Conference so much. "This was my third Leadership Conference. The national board hosts this conference. I thought the content and presentations at the November conference were really good. Each speaker had a unique message and gave attendees something they could take back and use in their daily life and work, which is always valuable," he says.
Besides all the education that goes on, Pevey says, "The most compelling observation that I witness at these events is the relationship-building that goes on with attendees. Many of them are the next generation of running the rental market. They are building such a strong community. The Leadership Conference is kind of a salute to the future leaders of the association and the industry. That is really powerful to see that and watch that in action as these people will keep the industry strong and vibrant for the future."
As a proud resident of Oklahoma, which is part of ARA's Region Four, Pevey enjoyed interacting with many rental operators he has seen at state chapter meetings. "I know a lot of the people from Region Four. At the conference, I was able to meet others who I didn't previously know. They even invited me to be part of the Region Four group photo, which was great," he says.
Another ARA member also approached Pevey to see whether he and other members of his ARA Peer Advisory Group could spend a few days at the Ditch Witch headquarters to meet, tour the factory, talk with Ditch Witch staff, demo equipment, etc.
"This will be great for them to come and have our product managers hear firsthand what they need. From the associate member side, this will be invaluable. We will have 10 stores in one place and hear the voice of the customer. That is the power of networking with everyone there," Pevey says.
Even though he will be wrapping up his latest board service, Pevey isn't done volunteering. "My experience working with ARA has been fantastic. That is why I keep wanting to stay plugged in," he says, noting that if there is a way for him to continue volunteering for ARA, he will definitely sign up for the task.
Prioritize safety: Cybersecurity basics


This week, Google announced a $280 million investment in SolarCity, the California-based solar startup company founded by Elon Musk (the man behind Tesla Motors, Space X, and Paypal). The deal is Google's largest clean tech investment yet.
SolarCity offers solar leasing, which alleviates the somewhat intimidating upfront costs of buying solar panels and allows homeowners to save money on energy bills immediately. In the leasing program, SolarCity takes care of installation and maintenance, so homeowners can just sit back and enjoy the savings.
CNN reports that Google's $280 million will provide SolarCity with enough money to build and lease solar power systems for 7,000 to 9,000 homeowners in the 10 states where it operates.
For more, check out this YouTube video released by Google with the announcement.

Lately, I've been thinking of the gospel as a verb. Wherever the Good News travels, things and people move. From the incarnation to the calling of the twelve, to the calling, forming and sending of Christian ministers (professional or lay) around the globe, gospel is a word reflecting God's gracious energy and activity. Gospel is a verb, perhaps most especially to new believers as they respond to the grace of God in tears of joy.
In cold February, I embarked on an adventure, riding a motorcycle around sun-soaked Cuba with Dr. Gary Morsch and friends. Sure, it was a fun time, but it was primarily a moto-mission that raised $11,000 for the Rev. Ángel Vázquez Carrillo Scholarship for Hispanic Students at NTS and raised money for medical supplies for Cuba through One Heart—Many Hands. Thanks to all who gave! There is still time to participate. You can find my brief travelogue and information on the Vázquez scholarship athttps://www.nts.edu/cuba2019/.
I am grateful that God has moved visionary people through the years to start and support scholarships at NTS. Through your gifts, NTS offers an array of scholarships, many with uniquely specified criteria, reflecting the wonderful diversity that is the Church. A partial listing of financial assistance includes help for all students, women, men, diverse races, countries, districts, denominations, pastoral ministry, lay ministry, missionary work, evangelism, church planting, chaplaincy, cross cultural ministry, urban work, institutional work, NTS' various ministry degrees and, of course, academic achievement.
As a result of our many scholarship supporters, over 6,000 NTS alumni have been on the move around the world ministering the good news. Can you begin to imagine the movement this represents and how many lives have been transformed as a result? And, the adventure continues!
Will you consider starting or giving to an NTS scholarship today? It is still one of the most popular and effective ways of investing in the future Kingdom—a Kingdom on the move. You can find more information at https://www.nts.edu/give/.
I'd love to explore options with you.

Basically, diversity refers to the different ways in which people not only identify themselves, but also how others perceive them. A diverse workplace is one that embraces it all – gender, orientation, thought, approach, and experience.
More and more organizations and their leaders are stepping up to promote diversity. A February 2017 report by Deloitte Insights found 38% of employees surveyed say that the primary push for their company's diversity and inclusion efforts came from their CEO.
What does it mean for corporate India?
India is a diverse country by any standard. You need to look at the Indian rupee note for confirmation. The number of scripts there are only a fraction of the many languages spoken in the country! The diverse culture brings many stereotypes with it. Hence, it is crucial for companies to give importance to diversity and inclusion in the workplace. The same report by Deloitte Insights found that over 69% of executive's rate diversity and inclusion as an important workplace issue, up from 59% in 2014.Recent changes in law will also affect diversity in the workplace and these must be accounted for. Some of the headways made in this regard include:
Maternity Benefit Act of 1961: In 2017, the central government enhanced maternity benefits to increase the period of maternity leave from 12 to 26 weeks.
Companies Act of 2013: as of July 31, 2018, companies must now disclose in Board of Directors reports whether or not they have complied with the Prevention of Sexual Harassment Law's requirement, in every establishment with 10 or more employees.
Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code: A landmark judgement by the Supreme court stated that homosexual persons have a fundamental right to live with dignity without any stigma attached to their sexual orientation and are entitled to equal protection under the law.
What can you learn from those leading the way?
Business is about efficiency. There is always a constant push to standardise business practices and a longing for homogenous markets. Anyhow, the reality is – the world is a diverse place. Businesses need to constantly adapt or you lose out to competition. Here are the leaders of this space in corporate India:
Initiatives for women
Vodafone: The aim behind the ReConnect programme was to bring women back into the workforce after a career break. They also are looking at digital inclusion for underprivileged women.
Nestle: Gives 24 weeks of paid maternity leave, 6 weeks of adoption leave, and also has 'Project Harmony' that aims to increase diversity in business operations, factories, R&D Centres, as well as offices.
Culture Machine: Was the first Indian company to introduce 'period leave'. Women employees are allowed to take leaves on the first day of their menstrual cycle.
Transgender inclusivity and LGBT initiatives
IBM: In a first, IBM was named as the world's most LGBT-inclusive company by Amsterdam based Workplace Pride Foundation. As part of their endeavour, IBM India launched 'Project Vayati'- aimed at employing members from the marginalised transgender community. A spokeswoman for IBM India also said that they will include gender affirmation surgery under their corporate health benefit plans.
Kochi Metro Rail: The first government-owned company to employ staff from the transgender community. It was part of Kerala state's initiative to make the workplace more transgender-friendly.
Initiatives for disabled persons
Lemon Tree Hotels: 22% of their staff are opportunity-deprived individuals, or ODIs with Down syndrome and other disabilities like hearing and speech impairment. The aim to increase this to 40%.
Aegis India: Its diverse staffing initiative includes 600 PwDs (Persons with disabilities) with disabilities like visual impairment, locomotor disability and more
Benefits of having a diverse workforce
They bring innovation: Hiring PwDs gives you an edge as they bring different ideas to the table, through their unique perspective.
Brand value: As companies become more accepting of people from different ethnicities and disabilities, they will add more value to their brand image. It also makes for a positive environment at the workplace.
Employee retention & productivity: The result of a positive work environment is higher productivity. It also helps in increasing loyalty as employees are treated with the respect that they deserve – it gives them a feeling of belonging.
Customer satisfaction: Your customers will be happy to interact with a diverse workforce who can relate to their needs. It's a win-win for everyone.
How-to guide: Introducing diversity initiatives at the workplace
Communicate clearly: Effectively communicate with employees the policies, procedures, safety rules and other important communications to overcome language and cultural barriers. Use translating materials, pictures and symbols whenever needed.
Create diverse work teams: Encourage employees to work in diverse groups, this will help them get to know and value one another on an individual basis. It also breaks down barriers and pre-conceived notions that they may have.
Set standards: Make sure all employees are treated the same with a standard policy that covers actions to be taken, including disciplinary, so that nobody is singled out.
Be open to new ideas: Encourage new perspectives from employees. They come from different backgrounds and cultures and their inputs may be of great value to your efforts in achieving organizational goals.
Train management: Without a training plan in place to handle the conflicts and complexities that come with a diverse team, your initiative will not succeed. You should offer training on laws and the effects of non-compliance to make it work. Introduce training during the new-employee orientation or when employees are promoted to leadership roles to set a standard.
It's time we made our workplaces more inclusive for all. A diverse and inclusive workplace is a boon for any business that wants to be both a beneficiary and an agent of change. Companies must do everything to fast track the process towards inclusive and sustainable development to promote resilient society for all. So, let's all do our part to create inclusive, happier and productive workplaces.

We have been inundated with questions and enquiries for our truck so we are going to attempt to answer everything that has been asked on this blog – so that people can look at what others are asking. Many of the questions have been asked by several people so this should save time. This section covers the interior questions.
What is the inside height of the camper?
From floor to ceiling, ie; standing up space in the cooking area, is 6′ 1″.
I am 6′ and have had no problems.
The bed measures 54″x 74″.
[so 74″ for the bed plus 3″ additional].
guys manage without a bathroom?
Toilet: There is a portable Thetford Excellence premium toilet that lives in the cupboard below the sink. If you want to use it, you must ask anyone else to leave, pull it out into the space at the door entrance, shut the door! See the photo we just posted on the truck gallery page.
There is also a curtain arrangement for privacy if you leave the toilet out at night.
When it has been in use [not all the time] it has been emptied and throroughly cleaned at least once a week. It is not difficult to use but most of the time we just use the facilities in campgrounds, Walmart or, when free camping/boondocking the great outdoors!
We do not have an inside shower but we do have an easy-to-set-up outside shower with a tent. You simply heat the water, plug a hose into the truck and attach the hose to the shower head inside the tent. It has worked for us many times and is super hot! [See truck gallery for photos].
The shower tent can also be used as a toilet tent if you want to put the portable toilet outside the door in the tent [see truck gallery for photo].
We have added more pictures the truck gallery showing these things. These items would be left in truck for future owners.
What is the height to ceiling when the bed is dropped?
34″. We sit up in bed comfortably with coffee in the morning.
What exactly is the size of the bed?
This bed has an Ikea UK-purchased mattress labelled "queen". The bed measures 54″x 74″.
From side wall to side wall [the length of the bed space] is 77″ [so 74″ for the bed plus 3″ additional].
Does the truck cab have air-con?
Only 4 windows! We were in Baja in August and managed OK – but this depends on what you are used to.
What size is the storage space above the cab?
We use this for winter/summer clothes when they are not in use at different times of year, canoe paddles, some storage boxes and coats. It is a large area of around 6′ long, 2′ high and 3′ wide in size with a sloping roof.
What other storage is there?
We use 3 of the 6 drawers for clothes/toiletries/day to day items with summer/winter clothes being put in the over-cab storage hatch in compression sacks when not in use. We use the other 3 of the 6 drawers for kitchen items. This has been plenty of room for our things. We have a laundry bag that we keep just inside the over-cab storage hatch and clothes/towels etc rotate between there and the drawers.
We use the 3 overhead cupboards for dry food items with a few extra bottles [maple syrup/vinegar] stored in front of the 85 litre water tank in a bottom cupboard. We have a plastic storage box in the over-can storage hatch for extra flour/seeds/oats [we make our own bread and muesli so have more than most people].
We use the cupboard under the sink for general items and the Porta Potti is stored below that behind a door. The 2 cupboards above and below the fridge are deep and we use these for all our bedding.
Behind the seats we have book storage [we have around 100 books on board!] The under-seat lockers store our inflatable canoe, camping table and chairs and other general items.
There is a lot of storage – probably more than anyone really needs. We wish it had been less as we just filled it unnecessarily!

My goodness Joss has been tucking away these last few weeks! If you've been following my blog you'll know that I've had a few worries about the volume of her food intake and although she'll try anything she would often refuse whole meals much to my worry and dismay.
They say 'food before one is for fun' and we have learned this to be true, at 15m she can communicate so much better that we know what she wants and how she wants to eat it. Big faves include mountains of fruit, pasta and cheese and ham, milk is less favoured but frozen yogurt goes down a treat. There is little more satisfying as a mother than seeing your child enjoying their food, don't you agree mummy bloggers?!
We've learned a lot about trusting Joss' instincts around food, letting her judge her own portion size and most importantly not worrying about a missed meal as she does catch it up later.
We've also learned some tricks, including picnics on the floor to encourage eating more, teaching her words like cheese and milk as she loves to talk, and chatters whilst she eats, occassionally lightening up on having the TV on as this helps her to sit a little longer, and sharing our lunch together to make it a family meal.
Why am I including this in Small Steps Amazing Achievements?
Well she has learned to use a spoon very well this week, and learned the words cheese, milk and water and had her first meal out, at Wagamama tucking into noodles! She's so well behaved we have no problems with taking her to restaurants and enjoying family time!
A wee and finally, the new Frugi catalogue arrived and I couldn't resist these little woodland trousers,a tip for cloth bum mums, they're cut for cloth so well accommodate a big nappy!
WOW lots of firsts this week and it's great that you were able to go out for something to eat. I love this saying 'food before one is for fun'.


We are looking for skilled and passionate individuals to be a part of one of the fastest growing companies in the IT sector. Enthusiasm, innovation, integrity and ability are some traits that we look for in our employees. A career at iNDLABS Technologies can be extremely rewarding, both financially and spiritually. Job satisfaction and the welfare of employees are of extreme importance to us.

Black Ops 4 Map Spotlight: Preparing for Launch
The Map Spotlight for Call of Duty®: Black Ops 4 brings us back to Launch, a classic Black Ops map now set at dusk.
"Black Ops Flashback: US covert operations have gone behind enemy lines, to the heart of Russia, in order to halt a Soviet nuclear missile launch."
We're not just ending our Black Ops 4 Map Spotlight series with a bang, but a nuclear explosion:
As part of Operation Dark Divide, Black Ops Pass members will be able to take a trip down memory lane with the Multiplayer map Launch. Here, you'll fight on a medium sized map that plays fast and frenetic as a missile is locked, loaded, and launched during the middle of a match.
While this map may feel familiar to veterans of the Call of Duty franchise, the Black Ops 4 Specialists allow for some fresh strategies to consider when you want to blast away the competition on Launch.
Lay of the Land:
Launch brings us right to the doorstep of a nuclear war on the grounds of a Soviet cosmodrome.
Teams will spawn at either the eastern or western security checkpoint to the cosmodrome. All paths from here, whether by catwalk, broken concrete alleys, or even an engine room, lead to the map's center where the missile is launched.
The launch sequence, which takes place during the match, begins with the missile being transported to the launch pad and set upright by way of multiple tracked missile cars. These large green machines also break up the elevated track running across the middle of the map, with the middle car having a ladder on both sides so that one can access a small platform on top of it.
Once the missile reaches the launch pad, it is then held into place over the rocket silo, any players that are in this area when the missile launches into the sky will face fatal consequences. The missile is then launched into the sky… With its strike location left to the unknown.
For those who played Launch back in the original Black Ops, the fun and tactical gameplay is now bathed in twilight. The map's distinct areas are intact which give room for various playstyles.
What potentially changes one's strategies towards mastering this map are the Specialists, which add a new layer of tactics on top of what veterans may remember.
The rocket silo on the northern path offers a unique lane across the map. It's the least exposed, since the path is underground, but players should still stay alert. On the sides of the missile are two winding staircases that could hold attackers, and with an open roof, players above can toss down lethal equipment, killing anyone below.
Players in this area should consider close range weapons to capitalize on the tight spaces. For Specialists consider Ruin's Grapple Gun to zip from staircase to staircase outside the flame duct, or Grav Slam down onto those on the pad itself. Recon and Reaper could also provide reasonable cover of the launch pad through their Recon Dart and Radar Shroud Specialist equipment pieces respectively.
Outside of the northern path, getting to the center of the map involves traversing through tight alleys in between buildings, which are potentially conducive to close-range gunfights, so players can employ similar strategies.
The maps center rest atop two converging inclines which is made more dynamic by having multiple environmental cover pieces, two power positions on the southern side, and a missile car that players can mantle to gain elevation on enemies nearing the center from various lanes.
Consider equipping medium to longer-ranged weapon and Specialist weaponry and equipment that favor precision and have high lethality like Seraph's Annihilator, Outrider's Sparrow, and Prophet's Tempest.
Meanwhile, elsewhere on the map, Torque can limit movement through one or two tight lanes using his Razor Wire or Barricade, or Nomad could do the same with his Mesh Mine.
The rest of the Specialists also are worth considering due to their versatility on Launch. From Ajax's 9-Bang to Zero's EMP Disruptor and everywhere in between, there is a definite case for picking every Specialist… You just have to find out for yourself how they can turn the tide of battle on Launch.
Objective Tips and Tricks:
The rocket launch site becomes an important objective area across multiple game modes, such as being the B Flag location in Domination and a bomb site in Search & Destroy.
In terms of objective strategy here, verticality comes into play, as those on the elevated track could look down onto the flame duct and fire down at those below. Be aware of that large circular opening above this objective location and consider having a teammate or two look out for the rest of the squad by locking down the high ground above the launch area.
Another potential danger to watch out for is the rocket itself; yes, its launch happens during the map, and yes, the exhaust flames will cook any Specialist that dares to stand underneath them in the flame duct. Avoid this area at all costs when the rocket launches, but also consider taking the objective in this area before liftoff to have a few seconds of uncontested play during the launch.
There is also the possibility of winning an objective game mode without even touching the launch site. One example of this is in Domination, where the A and C flags are placed in a triangle pattern away from the B flag.
Wresting control of the elevated railway and firing down upon those near the rocket launch site could be a viable strategy here, as it is definitely possible to hold A and C while fending off potential attacks coming from the B side.
Whether you are dropping in for the first time or looking for the best strategies after your 100th game, the ultimate tip we have for this map, and every map in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, is to have fun.
We'll see you online, Specialists.

Elvis Presley Enterprises, Live Nation Bring Year-Round Shows To Graceland

Elvis Presley Enterprises and Live Nation have teamed up to bring a year-round string of concerts to Presley's esteemed Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee.
Throughout 2019, the duo will bring between 50-75 shows to the 2,000-capacity Graceland Soundstage and the 464-seat theater inside the Graceland Hotel, according to EPE officials. The number of shows is expected to increase in 2020.
Ben Weeden, COO of Live Nation Clubs and Theaters, said that the company is proud to work with Graceland, noting that it is "one of the singular iconic and transformational music brands on earth" and Live Nation is "anticipating a creative partnership that will play a role in honoring such a historic artist and the place he called home."
While official shows have not been announced yet, Joel Weinshanker, Managing Partner of Graceland Holdings, said the majority of people who come to Graceland – which rounds out to 600,000 guests annually – want to experience pop culture and rock and roll. He said that the 2019 lineup will include both a mix of legacy artists and underground, up-and-coming acts.
"We've already had a lot of interest within the industry and from artists about playing Graceland," Weinshanker said in a statement. "We expect we're going to be doing a lot of different kinds of shows, whether its album release parties, or someone wanting to make a live album — and we've already had a dozen requests to do that. Also, because we have state-of-the-art light, sound and video setup, an artist doesn't even need to be on tour with their own production to do a show here. I've had a number of artists saying they'd like to come and play a one-off event."
EPE also has several new Graceland editions in the works, Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. Weinshanker explained that the upcoming concerts may serve as the "centerpieces" for several themed weekend festivals, including the previously-announced Rick Springfield show later this month. Additionally, EPE is working to open the Graceland Exhibition Hall this May, and has a proposed plan to build a 6,200-capacity arena next to Graceland, potentially set to open in 2020 or 2021.
Weinshanker said that 20 million people have visited Graceland since its opening to the public in 1982, but EPE wants to give millions of new guests another reason to come visit.
"Graceland is already the most famous music destination in the world," he said. "And we want to make it one of the most famous destinations to see live music as well."

I was flying to New York.
You cannot help but feel exited by such a journey, it is true for me that nowadays most flights are pedestrian affairs, not really much to get excited about, but being in this sparkling new airport at dawn flying to NYC is something special.
Though I do think someone should point out to them that the name is perhaps not the best one they could have come up with; I can just hear the snickers of the Brits ringing around that cavernous space.
With an hour or so to kill I decided to get some grab shots. I was being surreptitious, using my little Lumix camera; I've had problems at other airports in the past.
I realised later, when more people appeared (some wielding their 'pro' DSLRs and getting absolutely no hassle from the ever present police) that I need not have worried.
Well anyway, I got some shots I think are good, and I am used to this compact now and know how to trick the metering to get exposures I like, it also have a 24mm equivalent wide angle lens which is my favourite focal length.
The light was astounding, I was there just before sunrise and the changes I witnessed as the sun came up were incredible, the place was also quiet as this hour; it was easy to get shots of empty spaces full of that limpid light.
Next time I will break out the DSLR, a tripod and chance my luck!

People Leader Series: Robert Hilliard
In Five to Nine's People Leader's Series: Remote Edition, we highlight leaders who have pivoted into successfully motivating employees to do their best work
Let's share!
This week we're sharing a conversation we had with Robert Hilliard, Office Operations Lead at ThoughtWorks. While Robert's teams had developed a remote and in-office system for ThoughtWorks employees who are majority remote due to weekly travel as consultants, adjusting the entire office team to 100% remote work was still a learning experience.
In this interview, we learn:
The importance of balancing too little vs too much communication with your organization by balancing how that information is delivered.
How Robert has leaned on and supported grassroots groups to create and strengthen community during COVID19
How openness to trial and error has been a key instrument to understanding how to best deliver what employees need during this time
We end the conversation with a question about Robert's perspective on the future of remote work and what Robert's WFH rituals look like.
For some laughs, at the end of the interview, check out Robert's favorite meme/gif from the last few weeks and we totally identify!
Five to Nine: How have you transitioned from in-office to virtual and especially coordinating everyone across ThoughtWorks?
Robert: We've always had two systems to engage with our workforce. One was remote and one was in office, so it's always been a balancing act running two systems. It's a lot easier when you're able to devote fully to one system and building that out. When COVID-19 hit we quickly shifted our focus solely on our remote system and building that out, but we've always had a strategy for how we engage with our employees remotely.
Five to Nine: Was that infrastructure built because you already had a good portion of your employees remote, given that a vast majority are consultants and traveled on a weekly basis?
Robert: Yes, we have 700+ employees in North America and most of them are traveling consultants. Depending on the various streams of work, the number of people traveling each week changes quite a bit.
Five to Nine: Now that your consultants are working from home now, did that change your strategy around virtual events or virtual engagement and programming?
Robert: It did, for a couple of reasons. First, everyone is working remotely, which wasn't the case before. Many of our events were set up to run both in-office and virtually, so we needed to take a look at all of our events and see if they still work in a completely virtual setting. Second, with people not traveling we had more time to become available to do events and activities. We also realized that people would start to quickly miss the interactions they would get from being in the office. So, we had to look at ways to recreate that in a virtual setting.
We were also very mindful of information overload, especially during this crisis. We collaborated closely with leadership to make sure that we allowed space for each other to a). have the leadership provide important information on the state of the business b). for us to continue and provide content and activities that maintained a certain level of normalcy for ThoughtWorkers during this time.
However, with the combination of both of those, we had to scale back on a number of things that we were doing just because, by nature, people are fatigued processing everything that's happening at work, but also their personal lives as well. People are not just connecting for work, they're also connecting with loved ones with increased screen time so we want to be mindful of how much we're putting out.
"People are not just connecting for work, they're also connecting with loved ones with increased screen time so we want to be mindful of how much we're putting out."
With this in mind, we've explored other ways to get information and to engage with people. So we've amped up our internal podcast series to share information. We've definitely relied on our internal chat system for support groups. Someone previously created a mental health group to allow people to express their concerns, which now has more engagement than we've had before. Chat rooms are a great tool that gives our leaders a way to keep an ear on the ground for what people are concerned about so we can be proactive in addressing those concerns. My team will observe what people are chatting about in order to curate content and activities that cater to that concern.
Five to Nine: This is Mental Health Awareness Month, how do you all approach mental health support for your employees, I know you mentioned the group you facilitated, but how did you even start it?
Robert: Well, we've found that grassroots group movements work really well for our community. We encourage folks to come together and form these groups so that it has a more holistic feel, and we've found that people are more likely to engage. We provide whatever tools they may need, and we say "Let us know how we can support you."
Each office is unique in that their passions and areas of interest, especially in social settings, is different from office to office. Some people have been doing karaoke nights where other people get together and play a game or do a crossword together. So, these things are grassroots activities we continuously encourage and support. Our Office Operations team, made up of Office Managers and Receptionists, will regularly check in with folks who are trying to plan a social activity or a learning event to see if they need any support.
"Each office is unique in that their passions and areas of interest, especially in social settings, is different from office to office. Some people have been doing karaoke nights where other people get together and play a game or do a crossword together."
Five to Nine: In regards to your team in general, how do you make sure that the work being done is impactful?
Robert: It is definitely a learning opportunity for the Office Operations team to manage an office when you don't have a physical office. The team has always been stewards of the office culture, which feeds into the overall company culture. We align ourselves with the values and make sure that we're pushing content that supports the values of the organization. Which is really supporting amazing technologists. We have bi-weekly calls to assess the different activities that we've rolled out in order to gauge if it is working. If it's not working, we think about how we need to adjust.
For example, very early on started a Friday open call for the entire day, starting at 8:00 AM (EDT) and ending at 6:00 PM (PDT) to cover all of our offices. We would keep the call running all day so people could pop in and out. We didn't get much engagement. After three weeks, we assessed and found that people really weren't engaging. Instead, we decided to do a 30-minute midday office at 3:00 PM in the afternoon. That's usually around the time when folks would have gathered in the kitchen at the office. This worked a lot better since it was a narrower timeframe and it was daily rather than just one day a week. Engagement still varies day-to-day, but the people who do show up really appreciate the opportunity to take a break from work and be social.
"[We] make sure that we're pushing content that supports the values of the organization. Which is really supporting amazing technologists."
Five to Nine: How are you creating the smaller groups? Is this through people signing up for slots?
Robert: No, we assess it. For example, in New York, we had a big turnout which then split it into two smaller groups. In other offices, we have yet seen a big buildup of engagement, but we've seen a steady rotation of people that are engaged. It's starting off with one and then assessing the needs as it continues to grow and the demand grows. If needed, you then split the sessions so that you continue the more intimate sessions. One of the most important things to success is that we've made sure the employees know that all things are trial, that we need to be flexible and make the shifts.
To increase engagement, we encourage the workforce to engage our office managers regularly, not just by email, but also via chat groups for each of the offices. Each office manager is responsible for engaging the community and reminding folks of important information and also saying, "Hey, I would love to see you join the chat!", so they are directly engaging with people and motivating people to hopefully connect.
Five to Nine: Switching gears to your predictions for the future, do you think that widespread remote work is here to stay?
Robert: Yeah, there are lots of questions surrounding what the office experience is going to be like in the future. I think we're going to see an end to the open floor plan for office spaces. Organizations will be allowing more work from home. I think the challenge is for organizations to identify the opportunities to bring their collective workforce together for a sense of community. The investment that they're making to an office is not a saving necessarily for the business, but the opportunity to invest in experiences that allow people to come together for community, connection, learning, and development.
Five to Nine: What is your personal favorite new work from home rituals?
Robert: Being in this situation has allowed me to form new habits and form a solid morning routine. I've been slowing down and really investing in good habits that set me up for success for the day. Not checking emails all the time and making sure that I take care of personal needs before I jump onto the computer. I also remind myself to step away from the computer and do something else to give my mind a break. Working from home I've definitely become more mindful of self-care.
Five to Nine: What's a funny gif popping up anything that you found funny?
Robert: A funny gif that someone sent through a chat from Death Becomes Her with Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn. This person was responding to a "how was your weekend?" question and could only sum it up in this way.
Until next time, that's a wrap!

'This Is Us' Star Justin Hartley Marries Chrishell Stause: See Her Gorgeous Wedding Dress!
This Is Us star Justin Hartley, 40, and actress Chrishell Stause, 36, tied the knot in a romantic outdoor ceremony at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, California, on Saturday, ET has learned.
"It was a beautiful, intimate ceremony," an eyewitness tells ET.
Stause stunned in an intricate Monique Lhuillier gown adorned with feathers and beads.
EXCLUSIVE: Justin Hartley Teases Proposal on 'This Is Us' Season 2 Premiere!
According to our eyewitness, Stause and Hartley wrote their own vows and she made a reference to the Los Angeles Dodgers -- who played game four of the World Series against the Houston Astros on Saturday -- at which point their friends and family could be heard laughing. During his vows to her, Hartley was heard saying, "I love you. Thank you for always being there."
Several of the actor's This Is Us co-stars attended the intimate ceremony, including Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia, who brought a date. According to People, Chrissy Metz, Sterling K. Brown, Susan Kelechi Watson and Chris Sullivan were also in attendance.
"There were about 80 people total at the ceremony," our eyewitness says. It seemed very small and intimate, very private."
The couple danced to "Do You Love Me" by The Contours for their first dance.
RELATED: Chrissy Metz Didn't Even Tell Her Family About That Major 'This Is Us' Twist!
Hartley met the Kentucky native on the set of The Young and the Restless, and after nearly three years of dating, the actor proposed. He recently told ET that he couldn't wait to say, "I do."
"I'm excited to get down the aisle," he shared. "Honestly, it was about timing and after awhile it became like, 'Why am I planning this thing [when], like, every day is fun, so who cares, right?'"
The TV star added that he opted out of having a "traditional bachelor party," because he simply didn't feel a need for it.
"This is so odd, but I'm skipping the traditional bachelor party for a fun-themed wedding prep period, from now until we get married," he revealed. "I'm at the age right now where I don't really get the bachelor party thing, you know what I mean? I don't understand it. I don't need any of that. My life is fun so I'm good."

Security trumps privacy as Senate passes controversial cyber bill
If you value security over your privacy, you might applaud the US Senate's vote Tuesday to pass the controversial Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA).
The bill allows companies to voluntarily share evidence of cyberattacks with the US government, without fear of lawsuits if that information also violates your privacy. Proponents say CISA makes it easier for the government to coordinate threat information and responses across the companies and organizations that need it.
Opponents, including Apple and more than 20 other leading tech companies, say the bill could give the government even greater leeway to spy on US citizens. The ayes had it on the Senate floor. "While there is no silver-bullet solution to stopping cyberattacks, this legislation is a positive step toward enhancing our nation's cybersecurity," US Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Thomas J. Donohue said in a statement. He called CISA a victory for cybersecurity.
In contrast, Minnesota Democrat Al Franken was among the 21 senators voting against CISA and quickly expressed his disappointment. "There is a pressing need for meaningful, effective cybersecurity legislation that balances privacy and security: this bill doesn't do that," he said in a statement. Apple, Twitter and Dropbox declined to comment on the passage of the bill, though they all opposed the bill before its passage.
The vote Tuesday marks the end of a five-year struggle to encourage companies to share information about cyberthreats with the Department of Homeland Security. CISA was first introduced in 2014 but failed to reach the Senate before that session of Congress ended. Two years ago, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) was approved by the House, but died in the Senate. President Barack Obama said he supports the bill.
High-profile cyberattacks on government agencies and companies such as Sony, United, and Ashley Madison might have prompted the Senate to approve the bill, security experts say. "With security breaches like T-mobile, Target, and OPM becoming the norm, Congress knows it needs to do something about cybersecurity," Mark Jaycox of the Electronic Frontier Foundation said in a statement Tuesday. "It chose to do the wrong thing."
At issue is the fact that CISA allows companies to share information directly with law enforcement and intelligence organizations. Even more troubling, that information can include email, text messages and other data that can identify individuals. Companies are supposed to delete that information before they send it, but there's always the chance that our "personal identifiers" could still slip through. "I do not believe [CISA] imposes a sufficiently stringent standard for the removal of irrelevant personally identifiable information," Deputy Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas wrote in a letter to Franken.
The bill as written "raises privacy and civil liberties concerns," Mayorkas noted. After the vote Tuesday, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden tweeted the names of senators who approved the bill. CISA now heads to a conference of Congress members who will match the passed Senate and House bills before sending it to Obama's desk.
