I turned in an application that was well-prepared and ultimately got accepted into the school of my choice - with a fellowship.
Walter knows the inner workings of the admission process and is committed to helping people get admitted to a school that will help them achieve their professional objectives. With his help, I turned in application that was well-prepared and ultimately got accepted into the school of my choice - with a fellowship. I highly recommend talking to Walter if you are serious about graduate school.
Boy, did Walter help me turn that around! ...I received enough scholarship money to cover between 90% and 100% of all my business school costs.
I did some work on Wall Street and with a couple clients from Silicon Valley for several years, but figured my application did not have much of a chance. Boy, did Walter help me turn that around! Not only did I get in, but also I received enough scholarship money to cover between 90% and 100% of all my business school costs.
I hired ApplicationAdvantage for comprehensive help and followed Walter's advice. ACCEPTED AT 10 SCHOOLS!! I am still in shock.
I was so nervous about my chances that I applied to 12 programs. On a friend's recommendation, I hired ApplicationAdvantage for comprehensive help and followed Walter's advice for nearly 10 months while I developed my applications. When I received my first Acceptance Letter from NYU Stern, I was happy enough, because at least I was in at one good school....BUT THEN the other decision letters started coming from INSEAD, Columbia, London Business School, Goizueta, Oxford, Stanford, Kellogg, IESE and finally...my Number 1 Choice....HARVARD! ACCEPTED AT 10 SCHOOLS!! I am still in shock.
HEC just responded to me. I was so surprised because I had my interview only a week ago. There is no question that your interview prep course and essay course allowed me to get this result. I don't have the words to thank you properly.
Walter's thought-provoking advice, candid feedback and inspirational conversations have been invaluable as I considered the next steps to take in my career.
Walter came highly recommended and his wide-ranging experience quickly earned my trust. His commitment and caring turned this trust into friendship. Walter's thought-provoking advice, candid feedback and inspirational conversations have been invaluable as I considered the next steps to take in my career. When in need of exceptional and personalized branding advice, Walter is the first person I recommend to my network.
If you are thinking about graduate school, ApplicationAdvantage is an extremely valuable resource. Walter is committed to your success and asks a lot of questions to get to know your background and interests. He will evaluate your profile comprehensively and give you the honest feedback you need to decide if going to business school is the right choice for you. If you decide it is, he will help you better position yourself as an ideal candidate for the school of your choice.
Almost no one from my country has an easy time getting into top business schools, so when he told me I had a great shot, I was naturally skeptical. Now I am a believer.
I pushed Walter for a firm estimate of my chances when we started working together and constantly questioned his advice. I am not used to being so trusting of anyone, especially with something as important as my education. Almost no one from my country has an easy time getting into top business schools, so when he told me I had a great shot, I was naturally skeptical. Now I am a believer.
If not for your help, and with a low GMAT score, I would not get into Carnegie Mellon. I hear many Japanese with better scores did not get in. Therefore, I know your excellent advising was the reason for my success.
Walter's revision of my corporate profile (resume and business experience) landed me two Fortune 500 clients in the last three months.
I run a business in Tokyo that works with major corporations and law firms. A friend referred Walter and ApplicationAdvantage to me. Walter's revision of my corporate profile (resume and business experience) landed me two Fortune 500 clients in the last three months. He is knowledgeable, easy to work with remotely, and definitely the person I would talk to about getting into schools."
What a wonderful job you did with my essay, and with fewer words! It's perfect!
Accepted! Without you I don't think this would have been possible.
Accepted! I just got a letter from the admissions office. I have a friend who is thinking about applying to schools next year. I would like to introduce your service. Without you I don't think this would have been possible.
Meeting Walter and working with him is a major reason why my life has changed and why my fortunes have shifted so quickly and so positively, even in this economy.
I did not believe I could get into a top school. Thanks to Walter believing in my candidacy and taking such great pains to help me build my professional profile, he helped me to get into an Ivy League business school. In this tough job market, I am so glad that he pushed me to apply for higher-ranked schools because I need every advantage that I can get. One of those advantages is to work with ApplicationAdvantage's Executive Branding expertise, relying on Walter for ongoing advice as I weigh my post-business school options. Meeting Walter and working with him is a major reason why my life has changed and why my fortunes have shifted so quickly and so positively, even in this economy.
I rarely use words such as "amazing" or "incredible" to describe work after evaluating it, but this occasion warrants an exception. From the moment I began working with Walter, it became immediately clear that the high level of project execution and support they provide is far different from the norm.
I rarely use words such as "amazing" or "incredible" to describe work after evaluating it, but this occasion warrants an exception. From the moment I began working with Walter, it became immediately clear that the high level of project execution and support they provide is far different from the norm. And that generous comment comes from someone who is accustomed to holding people accountable to the highest standards in terms of what they do as well as the things they don't do.
I worked with Walter, who came highly recommended, and as I discovered, with good reason. The quality of input, attention to detail and all-around professionalism took me a little by surprise. Daily updates and detailed explanations kept me informed about progress - gratifying, because time was of the essence. I also appreciated the fact that he seemed genuinely interested in ensuring that I attained the goal for which I needed the new resume.
I was very impressed with the outcome of this project and was even more glad that I decided to follow through on my contact's recommendation. Considering the extent to which this company outdid my expectations, I am not surprised that high-level people from various industries both domestic and international turn to Walter.
As CEO of a large company, I have very little time to waste. Working with Walter was worth every minute, because I was able to hand off to him issues that I barely pay attention to. He is not the least-expensive advisor out there, but he was well-worth the investment.
This firm was recommended to me by one of my colleagues who had used the services of Walter Hutchinson. As CEO of a large company, I have very little time to waste. Working with Walter was worth every minute, because I was able to hand off to him issues that I barely pay attention to. His intensity surprised me, but not nearly as much as the surprise I received when I saw the final product. Since I started my own company a little more than a decade ago, I have never had to prepare a resume of any kind. I was also short on time and did not have the flexibility to take weeks pondering all of my accomplishments and career milestones. Walter adapted to my schedule and style of working, in order to guide me through a process which he designed just for me. He is not the least-expensive advisor out there, but he was well-worth the investment.
After reading your revision of my resume, I am going to apply to more competitive schools.
After reading your revision of my resume, I am going to apply to more competitive schools. This resume makes my qualifications look more attractive, just like you said. I am very grateful that I found your service on the internet.
I am really very glad to have your service. No other advisor or company has given such valuable comments to me except YOU. I really appreciate it. Thank you.
I just want to say thank you very much for your service, when I was preparing for the admission process. You made a big difference for my career.
I truly appreciate your great effort and quick responses and, particularly meticulous care.
I received my revised resume. Thank you very much, I was rather overwhelmed by seeing this change! I truly appreciate your great effort and quick responses and, particularly meticulous care. And also, thank you for your comment on my essay. I will change the one word you pointed out in previous email.
I send friends and colleagues to Walter partly for selfish reasons because I want him to continue building the advisory so that his advice will be available to me in the future when I need him again!
I first worked with Walter Hutchinson through his university admissions website ApplicationAdvantage.com when he got me admitted into Harvard. I came back to him for professional help through his Executive Branders site, because he is the first person I could think of when I needed help to market myself while I was still at Harvard. I send friends and colleagues to Walter partly for selfish reasons because I want him to continue building the advisory so that his advice will be available to me in the future when I need him again!
Walter's is one of the few names I mention to colleagues or contacts, when they ask me about advising services.
Walter Hutchinson is a professional in the truest sense of the word. He cares about the work he does. He goes the extra mile for you. I can count a number of instances when he could have billed me for extra service. Instead, he gave me extra value. I would not have asked him for more help in the months that followed, had he not been so impressive the first time I worked with him. Walter's is one of the few names I mention to colleagues or contacts, when they ask me about advising services.
My recommender told me that your revision to his letter actually made it easier to explain what he originally meant to write. He asked me to say thank you for him.

Q: Execute two functions in return render react I need to execute two functions in my render  method by conditional checks.
Example of my code:
render() {
   return (
     {!this.state.isLoading && isFilled && this.state.value &&
       this.renderResults()}
     {!this.state.isLoading && isFilled && this.state.value &&
       this.renderButton()}
   )
}

I guess this is not the best way. I don't like repeating condition.
Notice I can't place one func in other one.

A: You need to wrap it in a container (such as div or Fragment).
render() {
   const shouldRender = !this.state.isLoading && isFilled && this.state.value;
   return (

       {shouldRender && this.renderResults()}
       {shouldRender && this.renderButton()}

   )
}

⚠ I only created shouldRender variable to make the render more readable for demonstrative purpose only. It's not required.

A: You can use it this way, no harm in that. Just that I see too many conditions to render in one function. But anyway, here is what you can do. And You were missing base element inside your return.
render() {
   const condition = !this.state.isLoading && isFilled && this.state.value;

   return (

         {condition && this.renderResults()}
         {condition && this.renderButton()}

   )
}

A: You can do what you're trying to do here but you'll need to wrap your conditionals in an element like a
 or a .
render() {
   return (

         {!this.state.isLoading && isFilled && this.state.value &&
           this.renderResults()}
         {!this.state.isLoading && isFilled && this.state.value &&
           this.renderButton()}

   )
}

That being said, you should consider revisiting how your logic works here because each statement is the same. Without having a better idea of what you're trying to do here I would consider moving your logic to each function. This is a quick and dirty version but will give you the idea.
 shouldRender() {
    return !this.state.isLoading && isFilled && this.state.value
 }

 renderButton = () => {
    if(this.shouldRender()) console.log('button')
 }

 renderResults = () => {
    if(this.shouldRender()) console.log('results')
 }

render() {
        return (

                {this.renderResults()}
                {this.renderButton()}

        )
}

A: You can wrap your both function in div. if condition fails you can return null so react doesn't render anything.
render() {
   return !this.state.isLoading && isFilled && this.state.value ? (

           { this.renderResults() }
           { this.renderButton() }

    ) : null;
}

The article focuses on Taiwan's talks with China and France regarding the management of radioactive waste generated in Taiwan. It mentions views of Hwang Jung-chiou, chairman of the state-owned power utility at Taiwan Power Co., regarding his company's talks with France to send spent fuel rods to France for reprocessing. Further discussed is the renewal of the nuclear agreement between Taiwan and the U.S., and Taiwan's talks with China regarding disposal of low-level nuclear waste there.
The article reports that if Scotland gets separated from Great Britain it will have to manage 50 train loads of nuclear waste or the Scottish taxpayers will have to share the cost of storing nuclear waste in England.
The article reports on the plan, that will send 80 drums of radioactive waste, which raises safety concerns among state officials in Woomera, South Australia.
An introduction is presented in which the editor discusses various reports within the issue on topics including role of whistleblowers in helping investigation of troubled systems in the U.S., workers deaths in Western mines and oilfields, and nuclear waste in Hanford site, Washington D.C.


Dry eye syndrome is a very common problem. Traditionally, it was a problem seen primarily in the aging population and patients with autoimmune disorders such as Sjogren's, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. However, today, it is more and more commonly seen in the younger patient population as well, primarily as a result of increasing usage of computers, tablets, and smart phones. It is characterized by a burning, stinging or sandy sensation, fluctuating or decreased vision, difficulties tolerating contact lenses, or excessive tearing. The excessive tearing, in this case, occurs as a reflex to the damage on the ocular surface of the dry eyes.
Dry eye syndrome is most commonly diagnosed by the symptoms as well as the complete eye exam. It is important to distinguish two broad categories of dry eye etiology. Are the eyes not making enough tears, are the tears not stable and evaporating quickly off the surface of the eyes, or are both happening?
There are also special tests that can be done to further evaluate the dry eyes. These include the latest TearLab, which measures tear osmolarity; and the more traditional tests such as Schirmer's testing, which measures tear production, and fluorescein, rose bengal, and lissamine green dyes, which help to highlight areas on the ocular surface that are damaged from dry eyes.
In mild dry eyes, treatment begins with use of artificial tears, which help to supplement the tear film that is already present. Other traditional treatment options include the use of (1) thicker lubricating gels or ointments, (2) preservative-free artificial tears and (3) punctal plugs, which help to maintain the tears that are already present. As the dry eye symptoms worsen, treatment options tend to be geared more towards addressing the underlying etiology of the dry eyes.
Blepharitis and meibomian gland dysfunction are common eyelid conditions that are very frequently associated with dry eyes. It is not sufficient to just treat the dry eyes if these other conditions are present, as they will exacerbate dry eye symptoms. Treatments for these conditions include lid scrubs, lid massages, warm compresses, Azasite eye drops, oral Doxycycline and oral re-esterified triglyceride fish oil.
Both Dr. Decker and Dr. Yang treat a large number of dry eye patients and are experienced in all the various treatment modalities.

Noto anche come Muṣʿab al-Khayr (Muṣʿab il Migliore), Muṣʿab b. ʿUmayr b. Hāshim b. ʿAbd Manāf b. ʿAbd al-Dār era un Meccano appartenente al clan dei Banū ʿAbd al-Dār della tribù dei Quraysh. Abbracciò l'Islam nel 614 e fu il primo ambasciatore della storia islamica. Morì da martire sotto l'Uhud.

Gioventù
Sebbene non si conosca con certezza la data di nascita di Muṣʿab b. ʿUmayr, si pensa che essa possa essere compresa tra il 594 e il 598, dal momento che egli era assai giovane quando si convertì all'Islam. Muṣʿab era figlio di ʿUmayr ibn Hāshim e di Khunās bint Mālik. Sua madre aveva un carattere assai forte e volitivo, tanto che la gente ne aveva un certo timore. I suoi genitori erano abbienti e Muṣʿab b. ʿUmayr crebbe tra gli agi. Grazie alla sua intelligenza e al buon carattere, si guadagnò un buon ascendente tra i Meccani.

Conversione all'Islam
Muṣʿab b. ʿUmayr abbracciò l'Islam nella casa di al-Arqam ibn Abi l-Arqam (Dār al-Arkam), dove, sotto la guida di Maometto, si costruiva il futuro dell'Islam politico, indifferente alle critiche che questo suscitava tra i Quraysh. Muṣʿab si era recato per la prima volta nella Dār al-Arqam per vedere di persona in cosa consistesse la nuova fede predicata da Maometto, di cui tanto si parlava tra i Quraysh. Entrandovi, parlò coi musulmani e ascoltò Maometto con la massima attenzione. Fu profondamente impressionato dai versetti coranici e dalle parole del Profeta e abbracciò senza esitazione l'Islam. Dopo di ciò adempiette all'obbligo della Salat e prese a frequentare assai spesso la casa. Muṣʿab nascose la sua conversione alla madre, per timore della sua reazione. Tuttavia, quando giunse all'orecchio materno la novità che ʿUthmān ibn Talha, un oppositore coreiscita di Maometto, era entrato nella Dār al-Arqam, pregandoci nel medesimo modo in cui pregava il Profeta, il giovane Muṣʿab fu addirittura messo in catene dalla madre per evitare che egli seguitasse a frequentare quegli "eversori" dell'ordine religioso ed economico di Mecca. Muṣʿab rimase però fermo nelle sue convinzioni e, su consiglio di Maometto, prese parte alla Piccola Egira con destinazione l'Abissinia, insieme alla moglie Hamna bint Jahsh e ad alcuni suoi correligionari più deboli. per condizione sociale, sesso o minore età.

Primo ambasciatore dell'Islam
Muṣʿab b. 'Umayr fu nominato primo ambasciatore dell'Islam da Maometto e inviato a Yathrib (poi Medina). Il suo incarico era quello di preparare Yathrib al giorno in cui sarebbe avvenuta l'Egira. Fu prescelto, malgrado la sua giovane età, per le sue doti politiche, caratteriali e intellettuali, oltre che per quelle religiose. Muṣʿab giunse a Medina e assolse mirabilmente il suo compito, con grande zelo e qualità, aiutato da Saʿd ibn Zurāra, un Ansar medinese. Tra le persone che si convertirono figurano importanti personaggi quali Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, Usayd ibn Hudayr e Sa'd ibn 'Ubada.

Morte a Uhud

Nella battaglia di Uhud (625), alcuni musulmani (tra cui lo stesso futuro terzo Califfo e genero del Profeta, ʿUthmān, fuggirono e abbandonarono le proprie posizioni sul campo di battaglia, di fronte alla superiorità degli avversari meccani e dei loro alleati, il cui obiettivo non secondario era quello di uccidere Maometto. Muṣʿab b. ʿUmayr aveva la consegna di portare il vessillo islamico, in omaggio alla tradizionale prerogativa che a Mecca prevedeva che fossero proprio i B. ʿAbd al-Dār a portare in battaglia il vessillo dei Quraysh. Ben capendo quanto forte fosse il pericolo incombente sui musulmani, egli innalzò il vessillo con una mano e gridò il takbīr (Allah è Sommo), con l'intento di attirare su di sé l'attenzione del nemico, dando modo a Maometto di sfuggire al loro attacco. Si batté con straordinario impeto e coraggio, subendo dapprima l'amputazione della mano destra e poi una serie incredibile di altre ferite, mentre seguitava a salmodiare il versetto coranico «Muḥammad non è che un Messaggero di Dio come quelli che l'han preceduto in antico». Infine, nel fare da scudo a Maometto, fu colpito a morte dalla lancia di Ibn Qamiʾa al-Laythī, cadendo da martire (shahīd) sul campo di battaglia.

Inumazione
Quando la battaglia finì, molti dei Compagni di Maometto erano morti, compreso suo zio Ḥamza b. ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib, e suo cugino e cognato ʿAbd Allāh b. Jaḥsh. Quando però il cadavere di Muṣʿab b. ʿUmayr, moltissimi piansero, ricordandone il fiore degli anni, la sua fede di pioniere e i suoi modi garbati e intelligenti. Khabbab ibn al-Aratt narrò:  Maometto ristette accanto al cadavere di Muṣʿab con grande commozione e recitò per lui i versetti del Corano:

Quando Ḥamna bt. Jaḥsh, moglie di Muṣʿab b. ʿUmayr, seppe da Maometto del triste destino di suo fratello ʿAbd Allāh e di suo zio materno Ḥamza, affermò: "da Allah noi veniamo e a Lui in realtà torniamo. Imploro il perdono di Allah". Ma quando sentì della morte del suo amatissimo Muṣʿab, scoppiò in un pianto dirotto elevando alti lamenti.

Home Screenwriting How Far In The Future Should A Writer Know Their TV Show?...
How Far In The Future Should A Writer Know Their TV Show? by Peter Russell
Watch the video interview on Youtube here
Film Courage: This [question] is from viewer TJW "When writing a TV spec, how far in the future should you know your story, multiple seasons?"
Peter Russell, Screenwriter/Story Doctor: I would say so. I think you should know what the ending is going to be. What is interesting is you take a show like MADMEN but you know that at the end of the show nothing is going to be any different than the beginning. It really isn't.
The first episode of MADMEN Don Draper is a New York ad man who is really unhappy in his marriage and he's got a big hole in his soul. What's the last final scene with Don Draper? He is going to go back and be a New York ad man. He is a seducer of women, he has a problem with his relationship with women and he's got a big hole in his soul, right? So it's not hard to know the ending of your TV show because it's going to be the same as your beginning. There really is not. Unless it's a miniseries where like TRUE DETECTIVE where season one Rusty and Marty change incredibly because that's a movie basically (remember miniseries are long movies) you're always just going to be in the same place. So knowing the ending is not hard. You're going to be in exactly the same place as you were in the beginning.
BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER is still slaying vampires and is not happy about it. [Danny] Glover in ATLANTA for however long ATLANTA goes (unless he just wants to say "Screw You!" I'm not going to do what you expect me to do), his character is still going to be bumping along feeling like a loser at the very end of ATLANTA.
SNEAKY PETE same thing. SNEAKY PETE is still going to be conflicted by having a family versus being a con artist, being alone versus being with his family. I don't care how many seasons you have. So it's not hard figuring out where your television show is going because it's going nowhere.

Q: How to export an extension from a developed Joomla website if we have access to Admin Panel of Joomla website and cPanel of hosting? I have a Joomla Website developed by giving work to freelancers.
It has many modules, plugins and components which were developed.
Now I want to develop another website on Joomla. I want to use those extensions but don't have the installation zip files.
Is there a way to export them or to create them by exporting some files. Id yes - then specifically how?
The question is different from Is it possible to export already installed component in joomla 2.5? as there they are just asking about exporting a component whereas here the exporting has to extend to plugins and modules as well.

A: There's a tool for that: GreenCape/extension-export, called Extension Exporter. It was written for and tested on Joomla 3.8. Unlike other tools, it takes the extensions manifest file into account (especially for folder names).
(Disclaimer: I wrote it)

A: To nibra's answer:
This is very nice, thank you for sharing.
Remarks:

*

*after installation, I couldn't enable your plugin, needed to set the $filterForm variable public in InstallerViewManage.php line 64

*I could export my component, then removed, but when tried to install it back, it missed the router.php file, which I did not have on administrator side, so I needed to remove it from the exported installation XML file.

*After that I could install my component successfully, but language file was missing, because my component is in Hungarian and no English language file was set for it.

*Also it would be nice to dump the database tables with the component so I didnt need to export/import separately.

So this will be a great tool after a little manual finetune.
Thank you!

SSG as Media Partners in Australia - What a Success!
Caroline Blatter 03 Jun 2019 Australia / Australia & New Zealand / Regattas & Cruising Rallies
Marieke Derks and Zara Tremlett, SSG authors for Australia and Asia, attended almost 2 weeks of events 'Down Under'.
What an incredibly, warm reception was received throughout; the energy, commitment and investment going into The Australian Superyacht Industry is seriously impressive and of course, the upcoming 2020 Japan Olympics and 2021 America's Cup are on everyone's mind.
Starting with the third annual Australian Superyacht Rendezvous (ASR), held from May 17-18 at Gold Coast City Marina & Shipyard (GCCM), ASR clearly marked its position within the Asia Pacific Superyacht Calendar of events. The message that Australia has World Class cruising and facilities was strong and all works are in process to welcome visiting Superyachts.
Superyachts from 24m-63m (79ft-207ft) participated in the Rendezvous and comprised a diverse fleet with a value in excess of A$250m and included two yachts, MY Silent World and MY Beluga, nominated for the Boat International Expedition Cruising Awards.
Trenton Gay, CEO of GCCM and organiser of the Australian Superyacht Rendezvous, said: "The collective enthusiasm and collaboration across Australia and the Asia Pacific was palpable and one of the many reasons why the region was such an ideal choice for global superyachts."
The 9th annual Australian Superyacht, Marine Export & Commercial Marine Industry (ASMEX) conference took place 20th to 21st of May at the InterContinental Resort, Sanctuary Cove. The conference was a huge success with 170 delegates pro-actively discussing and debating key opportunities for the future promotion of the Australian marine industry.
Michael Healy, MP for Cairns and Queensland Government & "Superyacht Strategy Champion", on officially opening the conference emphasised the need to inform government what is required for growth but… "keep it to the point as no MP has time to read lengthy papers"! Stated Healy.
The 2019 theme on 'Driving innovation and sustainability' saw a focus on environmental and sustainability initiatives driven by the marine industry and new innovations in the pipeline being delivered by our industry.
Aaron Young, Vice Commodore of the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, America's Cup Defender presented on how The America's Cup has helped build Auckland's infrastructure.
A crucial factor in Auckland hosting the AC36 is the support of the NZ Government and Auckland Council, who recognise the value of the event and the visiting superyachts to the local economy.
"It's to the tune of NZ$1 billion, which is a lot. We've received interest from 120 superyachts seeking berthage and we've created a massive program of events to keep them here. There will be a direct impact on the NZ boat building industry across the board, from superyachts to tenders and sail makers, and that will flow on to Australia because we will run out of capacity," said Aaron.
Arranged by ASMEX, a tour of "The Yard" and "Rivergate Shipyard", both on the Brisbane River, then "The Boat Works" and "Gold Coast City Marina and Shipyard" on the Gold Coast provided enlightenment in to the massive scale of marine refit development in Queensland.
Once again, the most wonderful hospitality was provided alongside the sharing of expert information and insights to future industry growth.
As Carmen Lau, Managing Director at Camper & Nicholsons Asia, said the tour was "extremely valuable" for gaining insight into the refit and repair capabilities in Australia:
"There are many yachts that we could send to Australia for projects and to enjoy the cruising, now that we know they would be well taken care of."
Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show 2019 (SCIBS), was declared the best in the event's 31-year-history, with record crowds, good weather and multimillion-dollar sales proving a successful combination.
With around 47,250 people attending the event, a 3% increase on last year, exhibitors were united in their assessment that SCIBS 2019 had delivered, as motivated and well-informed boaties came looking to buy and spend.
Superyacht Services Guide representatives, Marieke Derks and Zara Tremlett, left Australia "totally inspired and very confident in the current and future Australian Superyacht and Marine Industry, as a whole", they will be back!

The NLG and NLG-NYC Chapter are co-convenors of the International Tribunal of Conscience of Peoples in Movement (ITCPM) to take place in New York City, September 25-27, 2015. The Tribunal coincides with the one-year anniversary of the kidnapping and forced disappearance of 43 students in Ayotzinapa.
Alleged crimes against humanity committed by the Mexican government and its allies in the U.S. and beyond will be the focus of special hearings held by the International Tribunal of Conscience of Peoples In Movement (ITCPM) in New York City on Friday, Sept. 25 and Saturday, Sept. 26, 2015. The tribunal is in commemoration of the first anniversary of the forced disappearance of 43 students from the Rural Teacher's College of Ayotzinapa. The current human rights crisis in Mexico is unprecedented in the country's history in terms of scale, depth, and extent (over 160,000 dead and 27,000 disappeared since 2007, not including a still unknown number of disappeared migrants): Mexico is the single worst violator of human rights in Western Hemisphere and one of the most egregious in the world.
The focus of the hearings in New York will be on Mexico's deepening human rights crisis in all of its relevant dimensions, including the role of U.S. aid (over $3 billion dollars in military, police and other aid directly related to the so-called ¨drug war¨ since 2007 through the ¨Mérida Initiative¨, which many analysts consider analogous to ¨Plan Colombia¨, plus over $4 billion in arms sales) and that of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
The event will open Sept. 25 at 6 PM with an evening of speakers, culture and art including representatives of the parents and students of Ayotzinapa and of indigenous victims of human rights violations from Chiapas, renowned Latino poet Martín Espada, father Alejandro Solalinde, exiled Mexican journalist Anabel Hernández, a special performance by jazz percussionist Warren Smith of the Composer's Workshop Ensemble, and the unveiling of a piece donated by artist Lynda Black, among others (NYU Kimmel Center room 917 Silver, 6 to 9 PM Friday Sept. 25), 60 Washington Square South. The tribunal hearing will be all day Saturday Sept. 26 from 9 to 5 Pm at Meeting Room 475, Global Center for Academic and Spiritual Life, 238 Thompson St., Manhattan (NYU).
Events will include a cultural event Saturday night from 7 to 9 PM at the Migrant Center of St. Francis of Assisi Church (135 W. 31st Street, Manhattan), and an all-day cultural festival Sunday Sept. 27 from 9 AM to 5 PM at the Julia de Burgos Cultural Center at 1680 Lexington Ave. (between 105th and 106th Streets, Manhattan), cosponsored by the Popular Assembly of Migrant Families (APOFAM).
Conveners include Mexico's national network of human rights defenders plus internationally renowned intellectuals and human rights scholars such as Noam Chomsky, Tariq Ali, Boaventura Sousa de Santos, Greg Grandin of the History Department and the Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics at New York University (NYU, who are hosting the event with the National Lawyers Guild and its NYC Chapter), and former UN Special Rapporteurs Rodolfo Stavenhagen and Jorge Bustamante. Jurors will include participants from the U.S., Mexico, Latin America, Europe, and Asia.
The initiative to convene the Tribunal grew out of the caravan in the U.S. in March and April 2015, and subsequently in Europe, of representatives of parents and students from Ayotzinapa in the Mexican region of Guerrero. 43 students from the Rural Teacher´s College there, mostly from the country's poorest indigenous communities, were victims of the single worst incident of forced disappearances in recent Latin American history in September 2014.
This special session of the ITCPM is timed to coincide with the first anniversary of the Ayotzinapa disappearances and with this year's opening session of the UN General Assembly, and will be dedicated to solidarity with the Ayotzinapa case. From the perspective of the conveners of the Tribunal, the events in Ayotzinapa are illustrative, not exceptional: the Mexican government typically seeks to position itself as a victim of drug-related violence, but like its Colombian counterpart, is in fact the perpetrator of, or complicit in, most serious violations of human rights.
Another key priority of these hearings will be an examination of persistent serious human rights violations against immigrants of Mexican origin in the U.S., and against migrants in transit from Central America and beyond on Mexican territory, including the implications and impact of a continuing exodus of migrant children and youth. The Tribunal's mandate includes exploration of the relationship between the current human rights crisis in Mexico and that in the U.S. concerning police violence, mass incarceration, and racial injustice, including how these two crises converge within the context of issues as to immigrant rights in the U.S. (abuse of deadly force by ICE, Border Patrol, local and state police; detention policies and practices, profiling, deportations, separation of families, impact on children and youth, e.g., "Dreamers").
A key aspect of the Tribunal's mandate is to explore the relationship between the impact of U.S. policy in Mexico and the impact of related U.S. policies (free trade, "War on Drugs", and other forms of intervention) throughout Latin America, including key cases such as Central America, Haiti, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and Colombia.
It is U.S. support which keeps the current Mexican regime afloat, and the single most decisive factor in in sustaining corruption, violence and repression against the Mexican population with impunity. The impact of such aid and of foreign investment on intensifying human rights violations has been intensively debated by the European Parliament as well.
 Additional conveners include: the International Association of People´s Lawyers (IAPL and its Mexican branch), the International Association of Democratic Lawyers (IADL), the American Association of Jurists (AAJ), the Haldane Society of Socialist Lawyers of the United Kingdom, IBON International, the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines, and the network of U.S-Mexico activists known as Fuerza Mundial Global.


transfer itself but there may be an ETO.
It will be a new test so that a reason under the existing test which might be considered 'connected with' the transfer might still make changes void.
(2) At best transfer-connected reasons "might" count – not exactly the certainty we all crave.
"44. In circumstances such as those in the main proceedings, the alteration of the employment relationship is nevertheless connected to the transfer. It is clear from the file that SBU wished merely to bring the terms upon which it offered early retirement to employees of Redwood College into line with those offered until that time to its other employees and, in such circumstances, an alteration of the employment relationship must be regarded as connected to the transfer. That the situation in the main proceedings is of that type is confirmed by the fact that, immediately after the transfer, SBU offered the employees from Redwood College a contract of employment on its terms, which the applicants nevertheless refused. It should, however, be stated that the mere fact that the applicants had joined the higher education retirement scheme has no bearing on this analysis: that factor concerns their retirement rights per se, which are the subject of the derogations under Article 3(3) of the directive, and not the terms of early retirement.
If this is followed then it may turn out to be a case of plus ca change plus ca meme chose.
Treating non ETO transfer-connected dismissals as being by reason of the transfer is a logical position as a matter of policy and may reflect the language of ECJ decisions but as the existing position was compatible with the ARD it is hard to see what the amendment adds beyond confusion and the chance for us all to earn a bit of extra money arguing the point.
I suppose that the difference would be that an ETO could be relied upon for where the reason is the transfer now ratehr than just when it's related to it.


I'm a firm believer that meal kits are one of the greatest, most convenient marvels of modern living – at least for parents lol – we are hooked! However, choosing between the various subscription box options we now have in New Zealand can be a bit daunting. Our family has tried 90% of them but after purchasing HelloFresh since September it's time to dish!
Before I get into it, HelloFresh have hooked you guys up with a discount code so you too can experience the convenience, variety and peace of mind that this awesome service had brought to our dinner table! For $35 off your first HelloFresh order, CLICK HERE – I can't recommend it ENOUGH guys so give it a whirl!
I really can't emphasise this enough. Our delivery arrives on a Monday, ready for the week ahead. Because we are not meal planning each week and shopping for dinner is excluded from our weekly shop, we are saving time (and stress) in other areas of our life – not just at 5pm every day when the "what's for dinner/I forgot to get the meat out!" panic kicks in.
I don't have to unpack 5 meals worth of ingredients when our delivery arrives, I just pop the bags straight in the fridge.
Those of us who are responsible for preparing dinner for either ourselves or others have our go-to meals that pop up again and again, week after week – inspo is hard to come by at 5pm when everything is happening at once right? Guys, there is no need to exaggerate how amazing it is to flick through the HelloFresh recipes each week and literally be so stoked at the variety that you can't decide which meal to make first. Not even joking.
I'm loving saying goodbye to second-guessing whether the meals arriving each week via a subscription service will be liked by the kids. If you're a Classic or Family Box customer, it's super easy to jump onto the HelloFresh site or the app and switch out recipes if they're not quite right for you. The boys are also loving HelloFresh as the recipes are perfectly suited to family meals. In Mum-Speak, I'm not having to recreate every dinner to suit the tastes of our finicky five-year-old and stubborn teenager.
Rediscover the joy of cooking!
Our HelloFresh subscription has incidentally removed any barriers (real or perceived lol) that had been preventing Ethan (our 14yo) from getting more involved at mealtimes. He loves to cook, but stress levels in our kitchen around dinner time often mean that Dave and I don't have the capacity to guide him through dinner prep or cooking. The HelloFresh recipe cards provide step by step instructions complete with photographs, that allow E to get started on dinner prep when he can and jump in and assist us on those busy days when another hand in the kitchen is always welcomed.
All in all, we are loving HelloFresh – can you tell?! Cooking, eating and sharing meals together as a family has chilled out so much over the past couple of months since HelloFresh arrived in NZ and in our kitchen – I can't imagine life without it anymore. The service and quality of ingredients are outstanding considering how well priced the deliveries are and don't forget, I've got a code to share which makes it even better value!
Try HelloFresh for yourself and you'll definitely see what I'm talking about. Don't forget to use the code BESTNEST for $35 off your first order and find a little more time in your day and out of your kitchen!
Our Modern Family and a Life Lived Online……….some of the time!
Kids snacks just got a whole lot easier!
Slip, slop, slap and slide | Little eyes need protection too!

The sector's professionals have decided to make the hospitality rhyme with ecology, at a time when sustainable tourism is no longer an option. Through innovative and committed strategies and actions, all the hospitality stakeholders are trying to make their contribution to the evolution of the sector and to make it as sustainable and responsible as possible. They all understand that the future of the hotel industry will inevitably involve an ecological transition.

Journey to Tomorrow is the responsible business plan developed by IHG Hotels & Resorts for over 10 years of global commitments to make a positive difference to people, communities and the planet. The ambition of this programme is to shape the responsible travel of tomorrow by focusing on five key areas: promoting a diverse culture, improving the living conditions of communities around the world, reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions, reducing waste production and making good use of water supplies.
Towards shaping our common future is a project led by Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, Andamans that demonstrates the resort's commitment to eco-responsibility by exploring new frontiers in sustainability in its operations and across the value chain. From site identification to project design, from engagement to inclusion, from pre-opening to business operations, the environment and community have been centrally integrated into the creation of the hotel.
Voco - a brand built on sustainability by IHG sets out a series of ambitious commitments through the Journey to Tomorrow 2030 responsible business plan, aligned with the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The Voco standards are based on sustainability, including reducing carbon emissions, energy and water use and food waste. All of this is done with the aim of helping both the planet and the local communities where the properties are built.
Accor says stop to single-use plastic in its hotels by 2022 shows the group's ambition to go further than the majority of its competitors and local legislation by announcing a new commitment to eliminate all single-use plastic guest-related items in all hotels by the end of 2022. Currently, more than 200 million single-use plastic items are used per year in guest rooms, meeting rooms, restaurants and leisure areas, and Accor intends to put an end to this and to be fully committed to a strong sustainability approach.
Upcycling Emiliano Pajamas by Emiliano Hotels is a project consisting of designing pyjamas from sheets that are no longer used and then donating the money to the Solar Meninos de Luz organisation, a civil and philanthropic organisation that promotes education. A social aspect is therefore added to the environmental aspect of this initiative.
Plastic Free is an initiative led by the Sofitel Bogota Victoria Regia hotel, which has made it possible for the hotel to stop using single-use plastic since 2019. The hotel is continuing this ambition in 2021 by looking for new alternatives and, in particular, has obtained from its fruit and vegetable suppliers that they no longer package their goods with plastic.
Sun Coral Nursery, developed by Sun Resorts, is the first land-based micro-fragmentation coral farm in Mauritius, in collaboration with the University of Mauritius and Dr David Vaughan of the Plan a Million Coral Foundation in Florida. With this innovative technique, it is possible to regrow reefs at a rate 25 to 40 times faster than natural reefs, thus saving and recovering corals that were thought to be lost.
Initiatives for more sustainable travel by the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa Edinburgh is modelled on the parent brand Marriott International's ambition to create a positive and sustainable impact wherever the brand operates. The hotel is committed to reducing energy consumption, minimising waste, better managing water supplies and encouraging its associates to also engage in an eco-friendly approach to building a greener future.
Environment Sustainability Governance brings together the various programmes that the Hotel Arts Barcelonan, part of the Ritz Carlton Group, is adopting to save energy, reduce waste and be greener to the environment. The hotel is offering a luxury product that integrates the main components of sustainable development, such as the reduction of carbon emissions and better management of food waste.
Maybe it's time to change everything allows Akena Hotels to combine ecological and commercial considerations when building hotels when it is relevant and productive. The brand is targeting an audience that has not necessarily been concerned with environmental issues before with a serious yet quirky approach with a 'country sitcom' scenario. The ambition is to create modern, environmentally friendly hotels within strict financial constraints.
Leading in sustainability by London Heathrow Marriott Hotel leads the way in reusing food waste, reducing water and energy consumption through a multi-dimensional approach to sustainability. Thanks to Chef Anna's creativity, the Food Waste Lab reuses around 200kg of materials each month to create coffee-based soaps, orange and avocado body scrubs, citrus air fresheners and much more. Who says sustainability can't be synonymous with originality?
Built in Solar Panels as a Roofing Solution is The Hotel Marqués de Riscal The Luxury Collection's solution to the environmental issues facing the hospitality sector. An ambitious extension that increases the hotel's capacity by 18 rooms, topped by 961 photovoltaic solar panels that form the roof of the building. The energy generated by the installation has been fully allocated to the hotel and will save up to 30% of the total electricity consumption.
Ovolo Group has launched Year of the Veg, an initiative to make all of the group's restaurants and bars vegetarian for a year. This is an ecological initiative that affirms the brand's commitment to the fight against climate change, which is currently threatening the environment. This initiative is in line with the new expectations of customers who are becoming more and more numerous each year to turn vegetarian.
Nota Bene: The HON editorial team highlights and values the entries submitted for the Hospitality Awards 2021 in complete independence from the competition itself, which is governed by precise rules. This in no way prejudges the outcome of the specific process of nominating finalists or winners, which follows the rules of the competition through the examination of the entries by a jury followed by a sworn bailiff and live voting on the day of the ceremony. The abundance of initiatives submitted during this 21st edition is a fine illustration of the efforts made by the profession in the face of the crisis and it was important for us to share them with you.
